Each One Must Trust in Christ Alone

We are living in the end times; there is no fixing the problem of government or the idea of what church is now.

This country was based on freedom and "government by the people and for the people." It was not based on "For God and by God.

Man wanted to be in control without the input of God, while pretending it was about God by tacking Him onto the end of everything instead of making Him the center of everything.

This is why our culture in the churches is still pretending; everything is based on the culture and not on Christ.

If you doubt what I say, then test it with Scripture. Ask several people in the church what they know about divorce and remarriage, what they know about forgiveness, and what they know about the way of salvation. In most cases, they will give you a cultural answer based on psychology and based on the culture that is not Biblical.

If you correct them with Scripture, you will be met with anger and rejection. Even asking the questions will anger some people because they do not like thinking Biblically; it makes them very uncomfortable.

I have met with less opposition from unbelievers in the community than I have from church attendees because they know they don't know what the Bible says.

Many people attending churches today are not born again so they tend to develop an attitude of pride in how good they think they are for attending those buildings called churches. They want to feel safe for having a "religion" but have no desire for Christ.

Many have god-speak, even knowledgeable about the Bible, while twisting what it says to fit their culture. Denying Christ's principles is the same as denying Him.

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.’"

Matthew 15:8-9 "8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
9 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

Matthew 25:1-13 "25 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take extra oil with them;
4 but the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps.
5 Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep.
6 But at midnight there finally was a shout: ‘Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.’
7 Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
8 But the foolish virgins said to the prudent ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
9 However, the prudent ones answered, ‘No, there most certainly would not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’
10 But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the groom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.
11 Yet later, the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’
12 But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Be on the alert then, because you do not know the day nor the hour."

The five virgins who did not have enough oil, were those who knew of Christ but did not have the Holy Spirit, they had tasted the good fruit but did not possess it.

There are those who are pretenders, thinking they will get into heaven on the coattails of other believers. They think association with authentic Christians will get them in, but they are mistaken; no one else gets another person into heaven. Each person must make their own choice to trust in Christ; then He sends the "oil", the Holy Spirit to live in them. He is the seal that guarantees heaven. And He will only dwell in those who have repented and trusted Christ.

No woman will get into heaven who is trusting in her husband to get her there. All a woman's sins are on her alone; she can never use her husband as an excuse to sin to please him.

God will always ask, "But did you obey Me?" The Lord Jesus Christ always comes before anyone or anything else.

No one inherits the Holy Spirit from someone else; each one must trust in Christ alone.
