The consequence of not being saved is a grave one. No one should be eternally damned. Its a place of no return. A place that separates you from your God forever. You can't appeal God's judgement because of its total accuracy which is based on the righteous and just character of God. Once in hell fire, you will never be recalled back, dismiss such deceptive thoughts that tell you after some times God will pity those in hell. No such thing my friend. There is no compromise in God. God will reward every man accordingly. Its either this or that when its judgement time. And once judgement is passed, its done.

Your last chance is here. Don't play. Nothing is more important than being at peace with your God. The world never satisfies, it leaves you thirsty and hungry and its reward for your long toiling here is death. There is no hope in this world but God has given us his son as our only hope. If you believe on him you will escape eternal damnation because he bore it for you on the cross. You did the crime but Jesus did the time.

Don't think that because you are born in a christian home, you are truly saved. You must be born again. Don't think because you go to church and pray well that you are truly saved. Don't think because you are moral that you are truly saved. You must be born again. God's standards are so high and we all fall short. God's verdict towards us is death not behaviour modification. But Christ has died in our place and God has accepted his death. Anyone that believes in Jesus will receive the death of Christ in his account and also the resurrection of Christ as his.

God will not accept any other way because some have established their own righteousness. This is unacceptable.
Its either you are in Christ or you wait to bear your death yourself.

Now my friend, the way to know that you are truly saved is when your desires change the moment or period of your salvation. That thing that kicks inside or prompts you to take or not take action is the Life of Christ. It makes you desire to read or study your bible even if its at an infantile level, it makes you want to pray, it makes you desire fellowship with fellow believers. You know your life has changed and its no longer the same. You will face so many challenges as you progress, its all part of the sign of life in you. If these signs have never been present at any stage of your christianity then I put it to you friend that if you do not turn around and accept the sacrifice of Christ you won't like the face you will meet the moment your silver cord breaks.

If you are travelling through a strange road with a map in your hand and people around you are complete strangers, what will guarantee your safety and certainty of getting to your preferred destination?

The first thing is self awareness that you are a stranger, second thing is humility to ask for help regarding your journey and willingness to admit that you've made a mistake when someone show you in the map that you've missed the road.

So in Christianity one is SAVED when he is always considering God's word day and night {Psalms 1:1-6} by listening to what others say about pure worship {Proverbs 2:2} and asking thought provoking questions {Matthew 7:7-8 compare to Proverbs 2:3} such a person shouldn't give up in assessing himself {Ephesians 5:17 compare to Proverbs 2:4} to be sure that he is with the right people travelling to the same destination! Matthew 7:13-14

Anyone could say "i'm saved" but it's good to examine oneself to be double sure!

Thanks brother for your contribution

Amen

Another Sunday. Have a blessed day ツ

There is nothing like hellfire!

If you die without Christ, you are gone forever!
No resurrection for you.

But those that died with Christ, they will be resurrected within a twinkle of the eye instantly. And they will inherit this earth forever

Christless Christianity: Exposing the Modern Gospel

– “Another Jesus: The Gospel of the Age”

“For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus whom we have not proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit… or a different gospel… you put up with it readily enough.”
2 Corinthians 11:4, ESV**

There is a Jesus being preached today in most pulpits but He is not the Christ of Scripture. He is soft where Scripture presents Him as strong, affirming where Scripture reveals Him as holy, and permissive where Scripture declares Him sovereign. He is not the Lion of Judah who treads the winepress of God’s wrath, but a tame housecat that purrs affirmations and offers life tips.

He is "another Jesus", crafted in the image of the culture, approved by the world, and safe for the unrepentant to follow.

This is the gospel of the age. And it is *not* the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Jesus of Today’s Culture: A Man-Made Messiah

The modern gospel preaches a Jesus who:

"Doesn’t offend, because He loves everyone", "just as they are."
"Doesn’t command" , because He just wants a "relationship."
"Doesn’t save by grace alone" , but helps those "who help themselves."
"Doesn’t demand repentance" , only "acceptance."
"Doesn’t rule as Lord", but waits politely for permission to enter your heart.

This Jesus doesn’t call sinners to die to themselves, He just helps them feel better about living in sin. This Jesus doesn’t wield a sword, He waves a white flag.

And multitudes flock to him.

Why? Because he offers salvation without submission, grace without godliness, and heaven without holiness.

But this is not the Christ who walked into the Temple with a whip (John 2:15). It is not the Christ who said, “Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:27, LSB). It is not the Christ who warned, “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish”(Luke 13:3).

The Real Jesus: Holy, Sovereign, and Saving

The true Jesus is not safe, but He is "good". He is not a passive helper but the "King of kings" who commands every sinner to repent and believe (Acts 17:30).

He is the "eternal Son of God", the "sinless Lamb", the "resurrected Lord", and the "soon-coming Judge" who will return “in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God” (2 Thessalonians 1:7–8, ESV).

He doesn’t just improve your life. He "gives you a new life".

He doesn’t just knock. He "breaks in and raises the dead".

He doesn’t ask for permission. He "demands allegiance".

Another Gospel for Another Jesus

Paul warned the Galatians with chilling words:

“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:8, ESV)

This generation needs to hear that same warning. Because the gospel being preached today in many churches is "another gospel", designed to comfort the unregenerate, entertain the lukewarm, and deceive the undiscerning.

It is the gospel of "self", not the gospel of "Christ" .

It says "God wants you happy," not "God calls you holy."
It offers your best life now, instead of "eternal life through the cross" .
It invites you to accept Jesus, but never tells you to "repent and believe".

It leaves people "unchanged", "unregenerate" , and "unsaved", yet convinced they’re Christian because they raised a hand, repeated a prayer, or walked an aisle.

This is the gospel that damns with a smile.

Why This Matters: Souls Are at Stake

Jesus warned in Matthew 7:22–23:

“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, in Your name did we not prophesy…?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME.’” (LSB)

Do you see the horror of that? "Many", not a few will stand before Him expecting eternal life, and be cast into eternal death. Not because they never heard of Jesus, but because they believed in *the wrong one.

They were sold a Christless Christianity. They were fed poison labeled “grace.” They were told that God accepts them without transformation, that repentance is legalism, that holiness is optional, and that faith is a feeling.

They never knew the real Jesus, because no one preached Him.

"Return to the Christ of Scripture"

We must preach Christ, not as the world paints Him, but as the "Word proclaims Him":

“He is the image of the invisible God… all things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things… and in Him all things hold together.”
Colossians 1:15–17

“God… now commands all people everywhere to repent, because He has fixed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed…”
Acts 17:30–31

The true gospel begins with the "holiness of God", exposes the "sinfulness of man" , exalts the "sufficiency of Christ’s Atonement" , and calls every soul to "repentance and faith".

We are not here to offer Jesus as an accessory to your life. We are here to declare Him as "Lord over all"—whether men bow now in surrender or later in terror (Philippians 2:9–11).

A Call to You

If you’ve believed in a Jesus who doesn’t call you to repent, who doesn’t confront your sin, who doesn’t reign as Lord, then you’ve believed in a lie.

Come to the real Christ. Come to the Savior who bled and died, who rose and reigns, who commands and saves.

Fall on your knees before the King not the mascot of modern culture, but the Master of all creation.

Repent. Believe. Be saved.

Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
