We need SPIRIT

 

1 John 4:1

King James Version

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, 

but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

because many false prophets are gone out into the world.


What is truth?

Is there such a thing as ULTIMATE truth?

How do you find it?

Where do you look for it?

Are you really looking for it?

Well, I did, and have -- for the longest time.

Through my own steam, I searched for it.

Read tons of books.

Listened to so-called gurus.

Eyes and ears always attuned.

For something that spelled truth.

Or at least, felt like it.

And yet, a "piece" remained missing.

Something remained elusive.

Why couldn't I latch on to it?

Why was it being kept from me?

Was I going about it the right way?

What was I doing wrong?


I used my steam, till I ran out of steam.

Not realizing I couldn't do it on my own.

And that's when I sat still.

Reviewing my life thus far.

And started to look into my sins.

Aghast at the gravity of it.

Ashamed at my own ignorance.

And supreme blindness.

Choosing to sin no more.

Asking GOD for clarity.

GOD took pity upon my penitent heart.

Five months after, He made me born again.

After that, ALL became clear in September 2019.

And here's what I found --


We need GOD's SPIRIT:

1 Corinthians 2:9-14

King James Version

9 But as it is written, 

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, 

neither have entered into the heart of man, 

the things which God hath prepared 

for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, 

save the spirit of man which is in him? 

even so the things of God knoweth no man, 

but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, 

not the spirit of the world, 

but the spirit which is of God; 

that we might know the things 

that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, 

not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, 

but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; 

comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.


I found that because SPIRIT wanted me to find it.

He wanted me to know His truth.

GOD is truly merciful.

He let me use my own steam, till I ran out of it.

Upon my surrender, He took over.

But He gave me a chance to find out for myself first.

Such is GOD's LOVE for us.


As born again, I've also observed something.

Many pastors are puzzled why people don't understand Scripture.

Many pastors wonder why people continue to sin.

Many pastors seem lost for answers themselves.

As I listen to their sermons, I keep waiting for them to acknowledge SPIRIT.

Few acknowledge the role of SPIRIT in correcting this troubled world.

Only through SPIRIT, can we know GOD's truth.

Only through SPIRIT can we understand JESUS.

Only through SPIRIT, can we understand Scripture.

Only through SPIRIT, can we understand what being born again means.

How do I know?

JESUS tells us Himself.

For He prayed for that very SPIRIT to live in us.

Making sure we were not orphaned when He was taken up to heaven.

John 14:16-17 

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.


John 14:26 

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.


John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:


Never again will you be lost.

Never again will you be confused.

Never again will you be manipulated.

You have the SPIRIT of GOD to guide you.

LONG overdue DILIGENCE

 

Philippians 2:12

King James Version

12 Wherefore, my beloved, 

as ye have always obeyed, 

not as in my presence only, 

but now much more in my absence, 

work out your own salvation 

with fear and trembling.


What is "due" diligence?

In spiritual terms it's very different.

It's not what the world programmed us to do.

It's what the WORD of GOD wants us to do.

To believe in JESUS.

To love GOD, and others.

To listen to the HOLY SPIRIT.

To live by the Bible.

That's what due diligence is.

As you shall see from these verses:

Exodus 15:26

King James Version

26 And said, 

If thou wilt diligently hearken 

to the voice of the Lord thy God, 

and wilt do that which is right in his sight, 

and wilt give ear to his commandments, 

and keep all his statutes, 

I will put none of these diseases upon thee, 

which I have brought upon the Egyptians: 

for I am the Lord that healeth thee.


Proverbs 10:4

King James Version

4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: 

but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.


Proverbs 11:27

King James Version

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: 

but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.


Proverbs 12:24

King James Version

24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: 

but the slothful shall be under tribute.


Proverbs 13:4

King James Version

4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: 

but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.


Proverbs 22:29

King James Version

29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? 

he shall stand before kings; 

he shall not stand before mean men.


Ecclesiastes 9:10

King James Version

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, 

do it with thy might; 

for there is no work, 

nor device, 

nor knowledge,

nor wisdom, in the grave, 

whither thou goest.


Acts 17:11

King James Version

11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, 

in that they received the word 

with all readiness of mind, 

and searched the scriptures daily, 

whether those things were so.


1 Corinthians 15:58

King James Version

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, 

be ye stedfast, unmoveable, 

always abounding in the work of the Lord, 

forasmuch as ye know that your labour 

is not in vain in the Lord.


Galatians 6:9

King James Version

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: 

for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.


Philippians 3:14-15

King James Version

14 I press toward the mark 

for the prize of the high calling of God 

in Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, 

as many as be perfect, 

be thus minded: 

and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, 

God shall reveal even this unto you.


Colossians 3:23-24

King James Version

23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, 

as to the Lord, and not unto men;

24 Knowing that of the Lord 

ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: 

for ye serve the Lord Christ.


2 Timothy 2:15-16

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

rightly dividing the word of truth.

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: 

for they will increase unto more ungodliness.


James 1:12

King James Version

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: 

for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, 

which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.


2 Peter 1:10-11

King James Version

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, 

give diligence to make your calling and election sure: 

for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you 

abundantly into the everlasting kingdom 

of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.


2 Peter 3:13-14

King James Version

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, 

look for new heavens and a new earth, 

wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, 

seeing that ye look for such things, 

be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, 

without spot, and blameless.

The WALKING dead

 

Ephesians 2:2

King James Version

2 Wherein in time past 

ye walked according to the course of this world, 

according to the prince of the power of the air, 

the spirit that now worketh 

in the children of disobedience:


Is there such a thing?

The walking dead?

Oh yes, very much so!

To understand better, continue reading.

It's an important article we reprint here:


We laugh.

We joke.

We think they're cool.

Many like zombie films.

Not knowing it's close to the truth.

Why are we obsessed with zombie films?

We are all zombies.

All living dead.

UNLESS, and UNTIL, we are saved.

Wherein we believe in JESUS.

We come to life.

For these reasons:

Romans 8:5-8

King James Version

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind 

the things of the flesh; 

but they that are after the Spirit 

the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; 

but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: 

for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.


Romans 8:13

King James Version

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: 

but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, 

ye shall live.


We are zombies, because of sin.

We need to be born again,

That GOD's SPIRIT may be in us.

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


Romans 8:10

King James Version

10 And if Christ be in you, 

the body is dead because of sin; 

but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.


A born again becomes a new creature in CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, all things are become new.


Believers will have a new, glorified body.

Right now, we are in flesh.

But one day, we will have a spiritual body.

When we are resurrected by CHRIST.

JESUS was raised from the dead.

Believers will experience that, too.

1 Corinthians 15:35-37

King James Version

35 But some man will say, 

How are the dead raised up? 

and with what body do they come?

36 Thou fool, 

that which thou sowest is not quickened, 

except it die:

37 And that which thou sowest, 

thou sowest not that body that shall be,

but bare grain, 

it may chance of wheat, 

or of some other grain:


1 Corinthians 15:38

King James Version

38 But God giveth it a body 

as it hath pleased him, 

and to every seed his own body.


1 Corinthians 15:39-41

King James Version

39 All flesh is not the same flesh: 

but there is one kind of flesh of men, 

another flesh of beasts, 

another of fishes, 

and another of birds.

40 There are also celestial bodies, 

and bodies terrestrial: 

but the glory of the celestial is one, 

and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, 

and another glory of the moon,

 and another glory of the stars: 

for one star differeth from another star 

in glory.


1 Corinthians 15:42-44

King James Version

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. 

It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: 

it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 

There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.


1 Corinthians 15:45-46

King James Version

45 And so it is written, 

The first man Adam was made a living soul; 

the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, 

but that which is natural; 

and afterward that which is spiritual.


1 Corinthians 15:47-49

King James Version

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; 

the second man is the Lord from heaven.

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: 

and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, 

we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.


1 Corinthians 15:50

King James Version

50 Now this I say, brethren, 

that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; 

neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.


1 Corinthians 15:51

King James Version

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; 

We shall not all sleep, 

but we shall all be changed,


1 Corinthians 15:52-53

King James Version

52 In a moment, 

in the twinkling of an eye, 

at the last trump:

 for the trumpet shall sound, 

and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, 

and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 

and this mortal must put on immortality.


1 Corinthians 15:54-56

King James Version

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, 

and this mortal shall have put on immortality, 

then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, 

Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? 

O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; 

and the strength of sin is the law.


1 Corinthians 15:57

King James Version

57 But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory 

through our Lord Jesus Christ.


1 Corinthians 15:58

King James Version

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, 

be ye stedfast, unmoveable, 

always abounding in the work of the Lord, 

forasmuch as ye know that your labour 

is not in vain in the Lord.


GOD is a LIVING GOD.

We, in the flesh, are dead from sin.

We need JESUS, that we may live.

And have ETERNAL LIFE.

How AWARENESS heals

 


2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


How can we really know how we have hurt others?

How can we really know the consequences of our sins?

How can we really know we've sinned at all?

Only when GOD makes us born again.

That's when awareness starts.

For GOD sends His SPIRIT to teach us.

We are taught about JESUS.

We are taught about Scripture.

We are taught about GOD's laws.

Only then can we become aware of the damage we've done.

Whether to ourselves, or to others.

And how we've displeased GOD.

How we've defied GOD.

How we've turned our backs on Him.

How we've disobeyed His commandments.

But what if we didn't know anything about GOD yet?

Well, there's Scripture to tell us.

It is GOD's book.

It is His story.

His history.

Proof of His love.

Proof of His never-ending patience.

Proof of His promises.

Only by being born again can we know all that.

Unless, and until we have the HOLY SPIRIT in us, we can't understand Scripture perfectly.

Only SPIRIT teaches us perfectly.

JESUS promised:

John 16:13-14

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.


It doesn't matter if you're the worst sinner on earth.

Apostle Paul claimed to be that.

1 Timothy 1:15

King James Version

15 This is a faithful saying, 

and worthy of all acceptation, 

that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; 

of whom I am chief.


I, too, claim to be that.

But I get comfort from Scripture.

I am grateful for being born again.

SPIRIT teaches me everything.

How I've sinned.

Who I've hurt.

The consequences of my actions.

Can I undo all that?

Only through GOD's MERCY is that possible.

When He sent JESUS to save us from sin.

Romans 10:9

King James Version

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, 

and shalt believe in thine heart 

that God hath raised him from the dead, 

thou shalt be saved.


JESUS commands we repent.

For the time is "at hand".

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, and believe the gospel.


Get right with JESUS now.

Seek GOD with all your heart.

Pray to be born again.

That SPIRIT may teach you all things.

So you become aware.

And start your own healing process.

It's important to know how we've displeased GOD.

How we've hurt others, and ourselves.

It will be tough.

It will be painful.

It will be haunting.

But we'll get there.

SCRIPTURE asks questions


 1 Corinthians 2:9

King James Version

9 But as it is written, 

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, 

neither have entered into the heart of man, 

the things which God hath prepared 

for them that love him.


As we have questions for the Bible, the Bible also asks us questions.

Demanding satisfactory answers.

Aghast that we have not known.

Challenging our norms.

Stretching our thinking.

Causing us to ponder upon them.

As can be seen from TWO striking sets of verses.

Which were coursed through prophets and apostles:

Isaiah 40:28

King James Version

28 Hast thou not known? 

hast thou not heard, 

that the everlasting God, 

the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, 

fainteth not, neither is weary? 

there is no searching of his understanding.


1 Corinthians 6:19

King James Version

19 What? 

know ye not that your body 

is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, 

which ye have of God, 

and ye are not your own?


And we'd better come up with satisfactory answers.

And not lie, bluff, or fabricate.

For GOD sees, and knows.

Every heart.

Genesis 6:5

King James Version

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man 

was great in the earth, 

and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.


Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.


John 2:24-25

King James Version

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, 

because he knew all men,

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: 

for he knew what was in man.

JUDGMENT DAY verses

 

John 3:17

King James Version

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


What is JUDGMENT day?

What are we to expect?

Who will judge whom?

How shall we prepare?

The Bible has the answers.

And it is good to meditate upon these things:

Psalm 1:4-6

King James Version

4 The ungodly are not so: 

but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, 

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: 

but the way of the ungodly shall perish.


Psalm 9:7-8

King James Version

7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: 

he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, 

he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.


Joel 2:1

King James Version

2 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, 

and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: 

let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: 

for the day of the Lord cometh, 

for it is nigh at hand;


Matthew 7:1

King James Version

7 Judge not, 

that ye be not judged.


Matthew 12:36-37

King James Version

36 But I say unto you, 

That every idle word that men shall speak, 

they shall give account thereof 

in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, 

and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.


Matthew 25:40-41

King James Version

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Inasmuch as ye have done it 

unto one of the least of these my brethren, 

ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, 

Depart from me, ye cursed, 

into everlasting fire, 

prepared for the devil and his angels:


Matthew 28:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, 

saying, 

All power is given unto me 

in heaven and in earth.


Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


John 3:18

King James Version

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: 

but he that believeth not is condemned already, 

because he hath not believed in the name 

of the only begotten Son of God.


John 3:19-21

King James Version

19 And this is the condemnation, 

that light is come into the world, 

and men loved darkness rather than light, 

because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, 

neither cometh to the light, 

lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, 

that his deeds may be made manifest, 

that they are wrought in God.


John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.


John 12:47

King James Version

47 And if any man hear my words, 

and believe not, I judge him not: 

for I came not to judge the world, 

but to save the world.


John 12:48-50

King James Version

48 He that rejecteth me, 

and receiveth not my words, 

hath one that judgeth him: 

the word that I have spoken, 

the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; 

but the Father which sent me, 

he gave me a commandment, 

what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: 

whatsoever I speak therefore, 

even as the Father said unto me, 

so I speak.


Acts 17:30-31

King James Version

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; 

but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31 Because he hath appointed a day, 

in the which he will judge the world in righteousness 

by that man whom he hath ordained; 

whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, 

in that he hath raised him from the dead.


Romans 2:1-3

King James Version

2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, 

whosoever thou art that judgest: 

or wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; 

for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2 But we are sure that the judgment of God 

is according to truth 

against them which commit such things.

3 And thinkest thou this, O man, 

that judgest them which do such things, 

and doest the same, 

that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?


Romans 2:4-6

King James Version

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness 

and forbearance and longsuffering; 

not knowing that the goodness of God 

leadeth thee to repentance?

5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart 

treasurest up unto thyself wrath 

against the day of wrath and revelation 

of the righteous judgment of God;

6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:


Romans 2:7-11

King James Version

7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing 

seek for glory and honour and immortality, 

eternal life:

8 But unto them that are contentious, 

and do not obey the truth, 

but obey unrighteousness, 

indignation and wrath,

9 Tribulation and anguish, 

upon every soul of man that doeth evil, 

of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10 But glory, honour, and peace, 

to every man that worketh good, 

to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

11 For there is no respect of persons with God.


Romans 2:12-13

King James Version

12 For as many as have sinned without law 

shall also perish without law: 

and as many as have sinned in the law 

shall be judged by the law;

13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, 

but the doers of the law shall be justified.


Romans 12:19

King James Version

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, 

but rather give place unto wrath: 

for it is written, 

Vengeance is mine; 

I will repay, saith the Lord.


Romans 14:10-13

King James Version

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? 

or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? 

for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 For it is written, 

As I live, saith the Lord, 

every knee shall bow to me, 

and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 So then every one of us 

shall give account of himself to God.

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: 

but judge this rather, 

that no man put a stumblingblock 

or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.


1 Corinthians 4:3-4

King James Version

3 But with me it is a very small thing 

that I should be judged of you, 

or of man's judgment: 

yea, I judge not mine own self.

4 For I know nothing by myself; 

yet am I not hereby justified: 

but he that judgeth me is the Lord.


1 Corinthians 4:5

King James Version

5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, 

until the Lord come, 

who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, 

and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: 

and then shall every man have praise of God.


1 Corinthians 6:9-10

King James Version

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God? 

Be not deceived: 

neither fornicators, nor idolaters, 

nor adulterers, nor effeminate, 

nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, 

nor revilers, nor extortioners, 

shall inherit the kingdom of God.


1 Corinthians 11:31-32

King James Version

31 For if we would judge ourselves, 

we should not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, 

we are chastened of the Lord, 

that we should not be condemned with the world.


2 Corinthians 5:9-10

King James Version

9 Wherefore we labour, 

that, whether present or absent, 

we may be accepted of him.

10 For we must all appear 

before the judgment seat of Christ; 

that every one may receive the things done in his body, 

according to that he hath done, 

whether it be good or bad.


1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 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.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


1 Thessalonians 5:1-4

King James Version

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 

ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly 

that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; 

then sudden destruction cometh upon them, 

as travail upon a woman with child; 

and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 

that that day should overtake you as a thief.


Hebrews 9:27

King James Version

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, 

but after this the judgment:


2 Peter 2:4

King James Version

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, 

but cast them down to hell, 

and delivered them into chains of darkness, 

to be reserved unto judgment;


2 Peter 3:10

King James Version

10 But the day of the Lord will come 

as a thief in the night; 

in the which the heavens shall pass away 

with a great noise, 

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, 

the earth also and the works that are therein 

shall be burned up.


1 John 2:1

King James Version

2 My little children, 

these things write I unto you, 

that ye sin not. 

And if any man sin, 

we have an advocate with the Father, 

Jesus Christ the righteous:


Revelation 20:11-15

King James Version

11 And I saw a great white throne, 

and him that sat on it, 

from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; 

and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, 

small and great, 

stand before God; 

and the books were opened: 

and another book was opened, which is the book of life: 

and the dead were judged 

out of those things which were written in the books, 

according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; 

and death and hell delivered up the dead 

which were in them: 

and they were judged every man 

according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. 

This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life 

was cast into the lake of fire.
