The LIE!

Mankind began its journey on earth

By accepting the LIE from the serpent.

What was the LIE?

That if they ate the fruit of The Tree of Good and Evil,

Their eyes wold be opened

And they would be like God knowing good and evil;

That they would not die as God had told them they would.

I fact disobeying God got them expelled

From the Garden of Eden, Paradise,

And the knowledge of evil corrupted their souls

For the rest of their lives.

They also did die at the end of their natural life as God had said.

They gave up Eternal LIFE in Paradise

For a natural life that had an end; Dust to dust.

Today, the world pretends

That it has gotten beyond the curse of the LIE.

That anyone can indulge in as much evil as they wish

Without consequence.

That God is irrelevant to their lives;

That they have developed a righteousness

Beyond that stated in The Word of God, that is sufficient;

Every man doing that which is right in their own eyes;

I'm OK your OK.

They ignore the Word of God

And the lesson of the flood of Noah's day;

They ignore the lesson of Sodom and Gomorrah;

They ignore what the Word of God says is going to happen in our day,

The last day.

They ignore the sordid history of mankind,

Going from one war to the next.

They ignore the only hope for mankind, Christ Jesus.

Self gratification is the religion of the world; it is a loveless place.

No one can seek self gratification and have love.

Never mind that there is only One who is Love, God.

Get as much as you can for as long as you can and then die.

As much of what: food, sex, money, possessions, drugs, pleasure, etc.

Then what? You die!

What a pathetic existence and yet this what motivates the world

Under the deception of the evil one.

You die and go to hell;

Where you have all the lusts you had on earth

Without the ability to satisfy any of them.

And so you burn with desires that cannot be fulfilled, forever.

This is what awaits you unless you receive Christ Jesus,

No matter what lies they speak over you at your funeral.

Yet Christ Jesus came to invite every person to receive His LIFE,

Eternal LIFE in the here and now as well as the by and by;

Eternal LIFE in His Kingdom the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God being righteousness, peace and joy

In the Holy Spirit.

Every person chooses their destiny, Heaven or hell!

Christ and Heaven, or the evil one and The Lake of Fire!
