A brief, but very important post from my time of “Coffee with the Lord” this Thursday morning…
A direct apostolic warning from God to those in our culture who practice sin. Tragically, some of these are religious leaders! Equally tragic is the fact that some religious leaders deceive those they should lead into righteous living by telling them their lifestyle doesn’t matter – God’s grace will cover their sin regardless. Here is Apostle Paul’s inspired warning in that regard!…
“Do you not know that THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? DO NOT BE DECEIVED: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!”
The good news however, it that through what Jesus accomplished through His death, burial and resurrection, a person can experience forgiveness and transformation of their life! What an incredible message of hope for ALL! Here is what Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit went on to declare in the very next verses…
“AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU. BUT YOU WERE WASHED, YOU WERE SANCTIFIED, YOU WERE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD!” (From 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 ESV)
