The snare of the devil is when someone has been taken captive begins to do the devil’s will. That sounds extreme and yet Scripture clearly bears this truth out. When we read through Scripture we repeatedly find ways Satan works in the world. Given the opportunity, Satan would no doubt lead believers and unbelievers alike to live and believe certain ways.

We make choices every day. Some choices really don’t matter very much. This morning I had to choose what to eat for breakfast, what clothes to wear, and which tie to put on. None of these were really life changing decisions. Other choices are very significant and can have long term affect on our lives. Do I go to college, if so where? What career do I choose? Who will I marry? Where will we live? These can be life-changing choices. Then there are choices we make that matter for eternity. This passage calls us to make just such a decision.

A false conversion is what it sounds like. It’s when a person goes through the motions of getting saved, but doesn’t actually get saved. I’m fairly convinced false conversion describes much of the problem in the American church and the experience of thousands if not millions of people around the world.

For those who believe the Bible, statements that trivialize the judgment to come should grieve our hearts. Today we are going to look at a passage showing us the certainty and severity of judgment day so we will be sure never to trivialize it.
