There will be times when you will have to stand alone because the Christians around you will not stand up for Christ with you. Then you must stand alone.
We are approaching a time in which most people who attend churches will not understand right from wrong, even elevating tolerance of sin as though it were a virtue.
1 Corinthians 5:1-2 "1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife. 2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?…"
Romans 1:18-21
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened."
Do not allow the lack of support for truth to deter you from speaking it and standing firm with it.
Isaiah 5:20-21
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!"
1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,"
Those who are rebellious will attempt to make us look like the ones who are evil for standing against sin. They may even accuse us of past forgiven sins we committed before we were born again in order to silence us. Do not remain silent, simply admit; "yes I committed many sins before Christ changed my heart, this is why I warn you of sin now, so that you can find forgiveness as I have in Christ.
The devil wants you to believe you are unworthy to call out sin, but in Christ, our sins have been buried in the deepest sea, we have been cleansed and now carry the mantle of righteousness through Christ.
We do not live in fear of the accusations of rebellious unbelievers or those who call themselves Christians but maintain their stans in protecting their favorite sin.
Ephesians 4:18-19
"having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness."
Pray for the repentance of the rebellious hearts before it is too late.
Matthew 7:21-23 "I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
Those who walk in pride and refuse to admit their sinfulness must confess their sin and trust in Christ so that you will not be left behind. The warnings about Christ rapturing His church are all over the internet, there is no reason someone would not hear this message of warning!
