“Indeed, the light of the wicked is snuffed out. The flame of his fire stops glowing. The light in his tent becomes dark, and the lamp above him is snuffed out. “His healthy stride is shortened, and his own planning trips him up.
His own feet get him tangled in a net as he walks around on its webbing. A trap catches his heel. A snare holds him. A rope is hidden on the ground for him. A trap is on his path to catch him.
“Terrors suddenly pounce on him from every side and chase him every step he takes.
Hunger undermines his strength. Disaster is waiting beside him. His skin is eaten away by disease. Death’s firstborn son eats away at the limbs of his body. He is dragged from the safety of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.
Fire lives in his tent. Sulfur is scattered over his home. His roots dry up under him.
His branches wither over him. All memory about him will vanish from the earth, and his reputation will not be known on the street corner. He will be driven from the light into the dark and chased out of the world.
He will not have any children or descendants among his people or any survivor where he used to live. People in the west are shocked by what happens to him. People in the east are seized with horror. This is what happens to the homes of wicked people and to those who do not know God.” (Job 18:5-21)
Praise God there is hope In Christ Jesus for those who repent and turn their lives in submission to Him!!!
In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off]. (Gal 5:1)
We can not fight and win the battle against sin in our power!!!
And having been set free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in thought, purpose, and action). I am speaking in familiar human terms because of your natural limitations. For as you yielded your bodily members [and [a]faculties] as servants to impurity and ever increasing lawlessness, so now yield your bodily members [and [b]faculties] once for all as servants to righteousness (right being and doing) [which leads] to sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But then what benefit (return) did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? [None] for the end of those things is death. But now since you have been set free from sin and have become the slaves of God, you have your present reward in holiness and its end is eternal life. For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom 6:18-23)
So many today struggle in their walk – they’ve attended conventions, conferences and Church meetings, tarried at the alters yet experience no freedom. This is what happens when a false and watered down Gospel based upon self is taught – It is void of Gods power.
To get into heaven, you have to REPENT of your sins and BELIEVE the gospel of Jesus Christ (Mark 1:15).
You have to REPENT of your sins–that means turn from them and BELIEVE that Jesus died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Having done these things, you will be born again and the Lord Jesus Christ will help you to walk uprightly. You will read the word and follow the teachings of Jesus. The word of God will wash your mind and your desires will actually change as you obey what you read. [Beware for there are many false gospels in the world today].
