THOSE WHO WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Main Theme: In today’s society, it is being taught that since God is Love, that no person will go to the devil’s hell. However, in these two verses, God makes it abundantly clear, that He plainly tells us those who will not make it to spend eternity in His heaven.
- GOD MAKES IT CLEAR WHO WILL NOT BE IN HIS HEAVEN
- “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?”
- Though in the flesh we are not considered righteous, our righteousness is in Jesus
- Ro 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
- We have been “washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of The Lord Jesus.”
- THOSE NOT MAKING IT TO HEAVEN
- ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE THOSE WHO CHOOSE THESE LIFESTYLES TO LIVE BY:
- neither fornicators (4205)
- a whoremonger or temple prostitute (from the same base word we get the word pornography)
- nor idolaters (1496)
- An image worshipper/servant
- nor adulterers (3432)
- One who commits 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.”
- nor effeminate (3120)
- Sexual sin contrary to God’s design between a man and woman.
- nor abusers of themselves with mankind (733)
- Homosexuals
- Nor thieves (2812)
- One who steals, also a false teacher who steals people away from the Truth
- nor covetous (4123)
- Eager for what another has desiring to gain it by any means necessary
- nor drunkards (3183)
- a drunkard, one who drinks and gets drunk
- nor revilers (3060)
- To criticize in an abusive or angrily insulting manner
- nor extortioners (727)
- One who is greedy and will do whatever it takes to get what they wants
- WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
- Share the truth with the world
- Let those mentioned as ones who will not inherit the kingdom of God the truth.
- That as Almighty God, He alone says who will and who will not enter His kingdom to spend eternity with.
- Tell them these truths in love. If you really love someone living one of these lifestyles the truth so that they can be saved.
- ONE LAST NOTE: YOU MAY SAY THAT YOU ARE TRULY SAVED, THEREFORE ARE GOING TO HEAVEN. AND IT IS TRUE THAT THE SAVED OF ALL MANKIND WILL BE. HOWEVER, GOD IS SAYING IN THESE VERSES THAT THESE LIFESTYLES ARE UNGODLY, AND UNRIGHTEOUS, AND THAT NONE OF HIS CHILDREN COULD LIVE THESE LIFESTYLES. HENCE, WE CHOOSE TO GIVE GOD OUR ALL AT SALVATION, AND IF WE HAVE, THE PROOF WILL BE IN OUR LIFESTYLE AND OUR LOVE FOR THE BRETHREN.
