The two most popular beliefs in the church today are seemingly not really believed by anyone. When heard proclaimed from the pulpit, they are met with a hearty "AMEN!", but that is as far as belief in them goes. They are:
"We don't have to obey the Ten Commandments".
"When we die, we go straight to heaven."
So, my question to those who claim to believe these two is "why are you still here"? If I can break the sixth commandment and kill myself and go straight to heaven to be with Jesus, why would I spend another day down here?
The answer is obvious: people don't really believe we are at liberty to break the Ten Commandments and people are really unsure about their standing with Christ, no matter how much they claim to be "more than conquerors".
The solution is this: make a FULL SURRENDER TO CHRIST, thank Him for each day He wakes you up, and ask Him "what is Thy bidding, Thou wonderful, merciful Savior, blessed Redeemer and Friend?" This life will soon be over and the only thing we'll carry with us to the Judgment Seat of Christ is our character, either molded into Christ's image by the Potter or dried up, cracked, disfigured, and worthy of only the burn pile.
