@ChristIsComing5 But you must thanking GOD so much you can every time. It will more than maybe 10 times per day, though it take no much time every time you thanking GOD
Satan is not opposed to good morals.
He’s opposed to Jesus Christ.
Read that again because most Christians miss this completely.
Satan doesn’t care if you’re a “good person.” He doesn’t care if you volunteer at the food bank, recycle your trash, and help old ladies cross the street. He doesn’t care if you’re kind, generous, and well-liked by everyone in your community.
He cares that you don’t bow the knee to Jesus.
Here’s the deception that’s damning millions:
Satan has convinced people that morality equals spirituality. That being a “good person” is the same as being a Christian. That if you just live right, treat people well, and avoid the “big sins,” you’re acceptable to God.
This is a lie straight from the pit of hell.
The Pharisees had impeccable morals. They followed the law meticulously. They were respected, disciplined, and religiously devoted.
Jesus called them children of the devil.
Why? Not because their morals were bad. Because their morals replaced Christ.
Satan’s greatest trick isn’t making bad people worse. It’s making good people think they don’t need a Savior.
Think about it:
The atheist who feeds the homeless thinks he’s good enough without God.
The Buddhist who meditates and practices compassion thinks she’s enlightened without Christ.
The Muslim who prays five times daily thinks he’s righteous without Jesus.
The moral Christian who goes to church, pays his tithe, and avoids scandal thinks he’s saved without surrender.
All of them are headed to the same place: eternal separation from God.
Because morality doesn’t save. Jesus saves.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
Satan loves moral people who reject Jesus. They’re his best advertisement for the lie that you can earn your way to heaven.
They’re living proof that you can:
•Be kind without Christ
•Be generous without God
•Be disciplined without the Holy Spirit
•Be respected without redemption
And still be lost.
The most dangerous people in hell won’t be the murderers and rapists. They’ll be the moral, upstanding citizens who thought their goodness was good enough.
Their morals became their idol. Their goodness became their god.
And Satan smiled because he’d accomplished his goal: Keep them from Jesus.
Here’s what most Christians don’t understand:
Satan doesn’t need to make you do bad things. He just needs to keep you from doing the ONE thing that matters: surrendering to Christ.
If he can get you to:
•Trust your morals instead of Christ’s sacrifice
•Rely on your goodness instead of God’s grace
•Believe in your works instead of Jesus’ finished work
He’s won.
You can live a moral life and still die lost. You can be a good person and still face judgment. You can avoid all the “big sins” and still end up separated from God forever.
Because the only sin that damns you eternally is rejecting Jesus Christ.
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36
Not the murderer who repents and believes in Christ is damned.
Not the thief who turns to Jesus on the cross is damned.
Not the prostitute who washes Jesus’ feet with her tears is damned.
The moral, religious person who rejects Christ is damned.
That’s why Satan loves morality without Jesus. It sends people to hell with a smile on their face, convinced they were good enough.
Stop trusting your morals. Start trusting Jesus.
Your goodness won’t save you. Your works won’t redeem you. Your morality won’t justify you.
Only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away your sin and make you acceptable to a holy God.
Everything else is just Satan’s distraction from the one thing that actually matters.

I was deeply moved by the words shared at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona. Each speaker testified not only to Charlie’s unwavering faith, but to the eternal hope we have in Christ.
For too long, I’ve drifted and put my faith on the back burner and strayed from the Word of God. But seeing the legacy Charlie left — one rooted in truth, conviction, and boldness for the Gospel — has stirred something in me I can’t ignore...
Today, I make it clear: I’m done running. I’m surrendering fully to Jesus Christ. No turning back.
1 Thessalonians 4:17, KJV: "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS THAT SAVES (“GOSPEL”)? 🧐
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)”
“In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead” (Colossians 2:11-12).
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”(Romans 1:16)
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (Ephesians 1:13)”
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” (Colossians 1:14)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)”
The Gospel to be received, believed on, and preached today has 5 major points:
(1) how that Christ died (blood atonement)
(2) for our sins (forever removed)
(3) was buried (went into the earth)
(4) rose again (first born of the dead)
(5) according to the scriptures (word of God).
This gospel was preached to the New Testament churches, delivered to the Apostle Paul (Galatians 1:12; Ephesians 3:2), agreed upon by Peter, James and John (Galatians 2:2, 7, 9; 2 Peter 3:15-16), and no other gospel can be preached or received lest there be a curse (Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Corinthians 11:4). This gospel is declared, preached, and must be received, standing on it (1 Corinthians 15:1), and so are saved by it (1 Corinthians 15:2). Through Christ’s death came the shedding of blood. And without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins, and only by the blood of Christ can we be reconciled and receive the atonement, that is expiation (cancelling out) of sins (Romans 5:9-11). Christ’s works comprise the gospel of grace that saves, which is God’s power (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 1:18) not based upon the wisdom or works of men (ie religion, works, intellectual assent, spirituality). If you hear this gospel, and believe it, trusting in Christ, the word of God declares you to be saved as you will be sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day you are raised from the dead or taken in the rapture (Ephesians 1:13-14).

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Pray for MO State Rep. @BenBakerMO, his wife Naomi, & their family. Last night, their daughter Natalie & son-in-law Davy Lloyd were killed by gangs in Haiti, where they were full-time missionaries. Pray for God to comfort & strengthen this family. https://t.co/nrhg8MlzyV
Gospel artists CeCe Winans & Roman Collins sang “Goodness of God" for the millions watching American Idol's season finale Sunday night. I’m thankful they had the opportunity to give glory to God on national TV. Listen & be encouraged! https://t.co/KdlzxAchfK
The difference between 'the Rapture' and 'the second coming'
At the Rapture, Jesus comes for His saints. At the Second Coming He comes with His saints.
At the Rapture Jesus doesn’t come all the way to earth. At the Second Coming, His feet touch down on the Mount of Olives
1 Thessalonians 1:10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Wrath = Great Tribulation
(See Appendix)
But not everyone believes the Lord will first return to whisk away the Believers before the horrible tribulation. They just can’t seem to understand the fact that the Lord “Paid it all” on the Cross. But He did. And we’ve passed out of judgment.
