God spoke to his prophet Ezekiel and said;
“Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel;
Therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:
When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity;
Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house."
Ezek. 3:4,17-19, 27.
Apostle Paul said,
"Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God." (Acts.20:26-27)
Our Lord and saviour Jesus christ in His prayer said,
"Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. "
Jn 17:17.
Then the writer to Hebrews said,
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Heb. 11: 6.
Apostle of Jesus in writing to Christians at Rome told them how one gains that faith is by hearing the word of God or Christ. Rom. 10:17.
However, while Jesus was with some of the apostles on the mountain praying this was the vision;
"And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”
When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus Only." Matt. 17: 3-8. This was meaning God spoke in this last days through Jesus ( Heb. 1:1-2).
Mark what Jesus said;
"He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. (Jn.12:48.)
Jesus said this concerning one who hears His Sayings and does them;
"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Matt. 7:24-25.
Do you know again what else did our Lord Jesus Christ promised to build on the rock?! Kindly hear His word;
"And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."
Matt. 16:18.
In addition the word of God says; Rev. 20:12, 15.
"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened.
And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.
And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."
Our time in this earth is short( Heb. 9:27) ,we are sojourners here(1pt. 2:11) but for us who are preparing we have a beautiful eternal home far above ( Jn.14:1-3, Rev.21:1-4).
In my conclusion here is the evident of those who will face the second death:
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Rev. 21:8.
Obey the Gospel today!
Apostle Paul spoke of it as only having power unto salvation for everyone who believes! Rom.1:16.
Please hear it, believe, Repent, Confess and be baptized. Finally, live faithful unto death to please Lord!
"He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
Matt. 11:15
