By our works we are known. I suggest those who live a licentious life are not the children of God, regardless of what they claim.
.
And by the Lord God we are Judged.
The Lord Gods Judgement, BEGINS with IS the individual Converted...OR NOT.
The Judgement of a Converted man...
IS that man SHALL be raised in a Glorified, Uncorrupted, Ever lasting BODY, reunited with his saved soul, and quickened spirit.
The Judgement of a converted man's "works" are also Judged.
IF....BIG IF...the man does works to glorify God..."rewards" called "treasures" are stored up IN Heaven, to be "given" the man AFTER Judgement.
AND ALL WORKS of a converted man, which such WORKS did NOT produce glorifying fruits, unto the Glory of God....
SHALL BE BURNED.
A mans WORKS, does not Save the man.
A mans WORKS, does not Keep the man Saved.
Only the WORKS of the Lord God can Save a man.
Only the WORKS of the Lord God can KEEP a Saved man, SAVED.
A man whom you may observe as morally depraived, can very well be, Saved and Born Again (having a lasting relationship WITH the Lord God)....while struggling with addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, short temper, cunningness, insecurities, being battered, inept reasoning capabilities, diseases, finance difficulties, debt, etc. etc. ... NOT one iota changes their Salvation or being born Again.
* It does however impact a loss of "rewards" they shall receive.
* That is typically, a person (saved and born again), who does not know HOW TO, sincerely ask the Lord God for HIS intervention.
* We can observe what the World repeatedly teaches 24-7....don't do drugs, DO DRUGS, Get a therapist, tell "them" all your issues, DO AS "they" say. Seek mens philosophies, Do as "they" say. Here Here, the government will gladly steal from one to give to another for umpteen man-made physical and psychological "treatments"!
* THAT IS NOT Scriptural teaching.
* But then ScripturaL teaching is NOT blasted in ones ears 24-7....but Worldly teaching and Worldly chemical compounds and Worldly philosophies (propoganda) ARE... from toddler age.
Glory to God,
Taken
