Matthew chapter 7 in the bible explains a lot! Starting at verse 13: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Verses 21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Verse 27, "...everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
Satan fell, the angels who followed him fell, and likewise, with those who follow after satan’s kingdom of unrighteousness, those who are unbelievers, and also those who profess to be believers, but their fruit is the same as the wicked heathen, they will fall. Those who do not make every effort to crucify their flesh, forgive their enemies, take every wicked and perverted thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus and live holy, those people will not see the Lord according to Hebrews 12:14 that says: Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Satan’s children are glorifying wickedness and deceitfulness. If you are counted among the wicked and God is not disciplining you, it is because you are not in his family, you are not his child.
John 3: 7-9 makes it very clear that the one who practices sin has deceived themselves and is actually serving satan’s kingdom. “Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.…”
Finally, lets see what Jesus said to those deceivers who were trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes & acting like they were holy and respectable, but clearly were not… in John 8:44 Jesus tells the wolves in sheep’s clothing this, “For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
So, if you are constantly lying, there is a problem with your life: you are of your father the devil. You need to repent and turn your heart to love the truth. Call on Jesus Christ and turn away from all wickedness in your life. Put your life in God’s hands and surrender everything to Him and perhaps He will bring you to repentance if you truly are passionate about loving Him and loving the truth.
If there is sin in your life, run to Jesus today and lay it down, there is no time left to stay in sin. Jesus is returning soon to take us out of this wicked world and you don’t want to be counted among the wicked.
If you have never confessed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, or you have never been born-again or have not received God’s promised Holy Spirit, we would love to pray with you!
