I just had the unconfined joy of reading this in my inbox:
~*~We have heard that you are not a child of our lord and his son, so we have linked you up to some holsome 'Ambassadors for Christ' e-mail ring. Let God forgive you for your sinnful ways.
God bless you.~*~
I have some important questions to ask you. Please keep your answers to
yourself-this is a sort of a quiz just for you. Be honest in your heart.
You don't have to answer me-but you are accountable to God.
#1. Have you ever hated someone? Have you been angry without cause? Have
you ever killed someone? (Abortion counts.)
#2. Have you ever lusted after someone you were not married to? Have you
ever committed adultery?
#3. Have you ever stolen something that was not yours?
#4. Have you ever said something that was not true about someone else?
#5. Have you ever wanted something that did not belong to you?
#6. Is there anything in your life more important to you than God?
#7. Do you worship Mary, idols, or saints? (These are graven images, are
they not?)
#8. Have you ever taken God's name in vain?
#9. Do you rest one day out of every seven and do no work?
#10. Have you (do you) honor(ed) your father and your mother?
Answers:
#1 Exodus 20: 13 Thou shalt not kill.
Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say
to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall
say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
#2 Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
#3 Exodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal. (It doesn't matter how big or
small-nor even how much you need it for your survival. Stealing a paperclip
or a mouthful of food is irrelevant-it is still stealing.)
#4 Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old
man with his deeds;
#5 Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not
covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his
ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had
not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had
said, Thou shalt not covet.
#6 Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is
the first commandment.
#7 Exodus 20: 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
#8 Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain;
for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
#9 Exodus 20: 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor
thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath
day, and hallowed it.
#10 Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be
long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
If you think I have no right to ask you those questions, check out God's
standards of morality in Exodus 20. If we have broken any of the 10
commandments, even once, we have sinned.
The excuse often comes up, I've done these, but someone else has done them
too! This is no excuse. Let's take the example of murder. Since someone
else committed murder, is it now acceptable for you to do so? These Laws
are BASIC to the way we deal God and our fellow man. We have ALL broken
these laws-every one of them! I doubt that a day goes by when these Laws
are not trampled under foot by myself on a daily basis-and I'm really trying
to live up to them!
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
I John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is
the transgression of the law.
I John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is
not in us.
I John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar,
and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected:
hereby know we that we are in him.
Do you love God? Are you proving it by keeping his commandments? Or do you
love the world, and things that are in it? God will judge you by your
actions, your thoughts, your motivations.
I John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever.
Are you God's, or are you of the devil?
I John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not
his brother.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his
commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his
Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And
hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Romans 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is
due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another
hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt
not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if
there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying,
namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling
of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of
sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off
the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not
in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the
flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
I have shared with you the bad news. We have all sinned. None of us are
righteous. None of us can keep the 10 commandments on our own. But there
is good news. God sent His Son to give us eternal life. Check it out!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
I John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath
not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son
of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe
on the name of the Son of God.
Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died
for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a
good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of
his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.
You don't have to clean up your act before you can confess your sins. While
we were still sinners, Jesus died for us. But it's not just enough to sin,
then say, I'm sorry, God. Then go back and intentionally sin. We have to
stop sinning on purpose.
I have written to you, because the Bible commands Jesus' disciples to go and
preach to every creature. I follow Jesus, therefore, I am His disciple. If
I share with you, I obey the Bible's command-and, therefore, God's command.
I have shared with you the truth from the Bible. You have heard. What
decision will you make? Continue in sin, and face condemnation and
judgment? Or repent, and go and sin no more?
What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, yet lose his soul?
A serious decision to make.
I am concerned for your choice of eternity.
If you would like to discuss anything I have sent to you, please feel free
to write back. If I have offended you, understand that I don't know who you
are and that delete button is right there on your screen. Do not
mis-interpret the conviction of the Holy Spirit for offense.
Sin is like a wound on your flesh. The Word of God is like cleansing
alcohol. The application of cleansing alcohol to a wound burns like fire as
it cleans out the grime, infection and disease. To whole flesh, it feels
cool, soothing and gentle. If these words have pricked your soul-then you
should truly consider what you have read. If these words have burned your
soul, then that indicates a wound, an encroachment of sin. That indicates
that the truth and the light of the Holy Spirit have illuminated the sins in
your life and splashed the fire of conviction upon you.
Faithfully,
Ambassadors for Christ
