three signs you go to hell these truths will save your soul number one propriation first John chapter 2 verse to States He himself is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours alone but also by those from all over the world the term propriation carries the fundamental idea of appeasement or satisfaction specifically in relation to God in this context it means that Jesus Christ through his sacrificial death satisfied righteous demands of a holy God against sin rejecting Jesus Christ and his sacrificial atonement is the ultimate rejection of God's provision for salvation to understand the
gravity of denying Jesus Christ we must first understand the fundamental problem of sin sin is more than just the wrong things we do it is a condition of rebellion against God that affects every part of our being this Rebellion demands a response from a holy God his nature is such that he cannot tolerate sin the consequence of sin is severe Eternal separation from God which the Bible describes as hell hell is not a concept to be taken lightly it is the final destination for those who reject God's provision for salvation it is a place of
unimaginable torment reserved for those who have turned their backs on God's love and mercy however g d in his infinite Mercy he provided Ed a way for us to escape this fate through his son Jesus Christ Jesus Christ through his death on the cross it satisfied the wrath of God which was rightly directed at us this act of preciation is a profound demonstration of God's love this means that when God looks at those who have accepted Jesus he no longer sees their sins instead he sees the perfect righteousness of Christ This is a mysterious Exchange
where jesus takes our sins and we receive his righteousness this concept is crucial to understanding why denying Jesus is so dangerous when you reject Jesus you reject the only means by which you can be reconciled with God you renounce the covering of Christ's righteousness and are exposed to the full weight and Wrath of God's judgment imagine being before a judge guilty of countless crimes the evidence against you is overwhelming and you know you deserve the harshest punishment suddenly someone comes forward and offers to take your place accept the punishment you deserve this is what Jesus
did for us rejecting is like rejecting the offer of forgiveness and choosing to face the consequences on your own the seriousness of denying Jesus becomes evident when we consider the Eternal implications without Jesus there is no hope of redemption the door to Salvation remains closed and the certainty of Hellfire limbs therefore accept Jesus as Lord and Savior it is not merely a formality but a matter of Eternal Consequence the importance of propitiation cannot be underestimated a holy God had every right to consign evil ungodly guilty sinners like you and me to the fires of Hell
our sins have separated us from God this Justice demands that sin be punished in Romans chapter 3: 23 it is written for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God each of us deserves hell because we have violated God's laws and fallen short of his standards however the scriptures reveal that the god of the Bible is supremely kind to Sinners guilty he sent his only begotten son who became the propitiation for our sins in 1 John 4: 10 days this is love not that we have loved God but how did he love
us and send his son to be the propriation for our sins jesus' death on the cross was not just an act of sacrifice it was an act of divine love and mercy satisfying God's Wrath that was rightly directed at us when do you accept the free gift of Salvation God no longer sees you as the guilty ungodly sinner that you are instead he sees the perfect life of Jesus Christ this wonderful transfer means that the righteousness of Christ is credited to your account 2 Corinthians 5: 21 explains this beautifully he made him who knew no
sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God final number to life hypocrisy Matthew 23: 27- 28 States woe to you scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites for you are like whitewashed tombs which outwardly appear beautiful but inwardly are full of the bones of the dead and all inclean us so you also outwardly appear righteous to men but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity in these verses Jesus condemns the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy they had an outward appearance of godliness but were inwardly corrupt this warning
is persant for us to live today hypocrisy is a serious sin which God hates hypocrisy is a serious sin which God hates it is a form of deception that not only deceives others but also mocks God hypocrisy is a serious sin because it involves deception it's living a double life presenting one face to the world while hiding your true self this kind of life is not only deceitful but also harmful to your soul when you live in hypocrisy you constantly wear a mask and overtime you may even deceive yourself God sees beyond our outward actions
he looks at the heart living a double life can deceive others but you can't fool God he knows our thoughts our motives and our true intentions this is why living in hypocrisy is so dangerous it leads to a false sense of security you may think you are getting away with your hidden sins but in reality you are just accumulating them judgment for yourself consider the Practical implications of living a life of integrity versus a life of hypocrisy integrity means being the same person in private and in public it means living a life of transparency and
honesty where your actions align with your beliefs profess this type of life brings peace of mind and a clear conscience hypocrisy on the other hand leads to inner turmoil Keeping Up Appearances is exhausting and often leads to anxiety and guilt you live in constant fear of being discovered this double life can also harm your relationships people can eventually see through your facade leading to broken trust and hurt feelings as a Christian it is crucial to strive for authenticity yes we all sin and fail but there is a difference between stumbling and living a lifestyle of
Deceit the key is repentance when we sin we must be quick to confess and seek God God's forgiveness this keeps our relationship with God healthy and our conscience clear living in hypocrisy also undermines your testimony to others people are watching how you live if they see a discrepancy between your words and actions they will be less likely to take their faith seriously your life should be a testimony to the transforming power of Jesus when you live authentically others can see the genuine change that Christ brings the Bible constantly warns against living a double life in
2 Timothy 3: 5 Paul describes Hypocrites as those who have the appearance of godliness but deny their power to see them beyond our outward actions he sees the heart living a double life means publicly professing Faith while secretly indulging in sin it's pretending to be fair well-being unfair God will not be mocked Galatians 6: 7 to8 says do not be deceived about God he's not mocked for whatever a man SWS that he will also reap for He Who SWS to his own flesh Will from The Flesh reap corruption but whoever SWS to the spirit of
the spirit will reap eternal life God's judgment is inevitable and living in hypocrisy will ultimately be exposed consider the example of ananas and saf in Acts 5: 1-1 they pretended to give all the proceeds from the sale of their lands to the apostles but they secretly withheld part of the money their hypocrisy was exposed by the Holy Spirit and they both fell dead as a result of their deception this story serves as a clear reminder that God's judgment on hypocrisy is severe as a Christian We should strive for authenticity in our walk with God yes
