Greetings in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
As a Gospel Witness, I am constantly bewildered at the uphill task at the hands of those that have committed themselves to serve Christ. The accusations, the grief, and the anger that is directed at the Gospel bearers by non-believers and pseudo-believers alike is immense, but the Holy Spirit of God prevails.
Recently, I was talking to an acquaintance, who, first pretending to be a born again Christian, quoted me a verse from the Bible about “seek and you shall find.” As the conversation progressed, it soon became apparent that I was in fact talking to an enemy of Christ, from his condemnation of my dedication to Christ, and his extolling of sinful lifestyles . So what was to be done in such a circumstance? Prayer, prayer! And keeping eyes on the Truth, which is the Word of God.
It is in the spirit of sharing what the Word of God says about the promises for the redeemed of Christ (on God’s Honor Roll), and the fate of the unredeemed (Satan’s Hall of Shame). God gave us the will to make choices, but He knew the evil influence of Satan over earth, so He sent Jesus, His only son, to deliver us from eternal damnation. But we have to believe in Christ as the only mediator between God and men, renounce our sins, and do what His Word says is the way to everlasting life. Read the details below.
Be blessed

1 Timothy 2: 5-6 (5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; (6) Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” ( Holy Bible, King James version)
God’s Honor Roll (The Redeemed of Christ) | Satan’s Hall of Shame (the unredeemed) |
1) Pray to the Living God, through Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. John 3: 16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (Words of Jesus Christ). | 1) Hate prayer, or pray via man’s vanities of false religions and image worship (idolatry) 1 Corinthians 10: 21 “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of the devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord ’s table, and of the table of the devils.” |
2) Accept that Jesus is Lord and sole Savior of sinners through faith and renewal 1 Timothy 2: 5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” | 2) Oppose Jesus as the sole savior of sinners through faith and renewal, and prescribe other non-Biblical doctrines for redemption John 3: 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.” (Words of Jesus Christ) |
3) Do not take pride in sin or indulge in it as their way of life. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: | 3) Allow and condone sin as an acceptable way of life. Isaiah 59:1-2 1Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear. |
4) Understand and receive the Holy Spirit of God, and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are manifest in their daily lives. Matthew 3:11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:” | 4) Oppose the manifest Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and label born-again Christians ‘fanatics’ and ‘apostates’ when they testify the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. Apostle Paul was accused of preaching God’s Word and imprisoned. Acts 26:6-8 6 “And now I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers; 7 the promise to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God night and day. And for this hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews. 8 Why is it considered incredible among you people if God does raise the dead?” Acts 28:20 “I asked you to come here today so we could get acquainted and so I could explain to you that I am bound with this chain because I believe that the hope of |
5) Seek righteousness through Jesus Christ as savior, and are dead to worldly vanities and the pursuit of fleshly interests Galatians 5:8 “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. | 5) Seek worldly vanities and artifice, their lives are defined by materialism, covetousness, greed, and fleshly interests. Matthew 19:24 “And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the |
6) Understand that Salvation is God’s Gift to those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3: 32 Then Jesus said unto them, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” (Words of Jesus Christ) | 6) Do vain worship of the Living God, and mock God’s grace upon sinners through Jesus Christ; they teach the doctrines of devils. 1 Timothy 4: 1-2 1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; |
7) Honor God’s Commandments and do His bidding, which is righteousness through faith. John 14:21 21 “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (Words of Jesus Christ) 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. | 7) Honor the commandments of men and do man’s bidding, which is sinfulness and rebellion against the Living God. Matthew 15: 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Words of Jesus Christ) |
8) Promote peace and righteousness, as part of God’s plan and intentions for mankind. Philippians 4: 7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. | 8) Promote chaos, wars, political strife, inequities and everything contrary to righteousness and God’s plans and intentions for mankind. Genesis 6:12-13 12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. |
9) Are fearless Gospel Witnesses, born-again Prayer Warriors, Pastors, Preachers, Apostles, and Evangelists. They preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ for redemption of lost souls. Mark 16:17-19 17 “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay lands on the sick, and they shall recover.” (Words of Jesus Christ) 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. | 9) Are fearful of Gospel Witnesses, denounce born-again Prayer Warriors, and preach atheism and idolatry. Many practice witchcraft/wiccan; voodoo; spiritualism; New Age religion, atheism; agnosticism; and other popular world religions. Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.Deuteronomy 4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. |
10) Know God’s Truth and the promise of eternal life in God’s John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." (Words of Jesus Christ) | 10) Defy God’s Truth; call God’s promise of eternal life a “fairy tale”; they mock Jesus and the price He paid for our sins on the cross; they are deceived into believing that life on earth is the end-“Life is short” is their favorite saying. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. |
11) Understand that the flesh is corruptible, and commit to Jesus for strength in their fight against fleshly corruption; they protect and strengthen their Spirit through prayer-their body is the Romans 8: 6 “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” | 11) Take pride in fleshly corruption, and commit themselves to baser pursuits rather than the Holy Spirit of God. They have extinguished the Holy Spirit of God from their lives-their body is the devil’s workshop, manifested in gluttony; drugs; smoking; alcohol abuse; homosexuality; whoredom; adultery and fornication. Romans 8: 7-8 “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.” |
12) They fearlessly proclaim God’s Agenda for Humanity, which is a Heavenly inheritance. They advocate for justice, based on God’s laws and acknowledge that God’s law precedes man’s law. The wisdom of man is foolishness to God. 1 Corinthians 1:25 This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God's weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength. | 12) They shamelessly push Satan’s agenda, which is destruction of all souls and condemnation to hell. Revelation 20: 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. |
13) Their words and actions project God’s light and righteousness ( Gospel, kindness, piety; respect for body as God’s Temple; temperance; joy; peace; hope; happiness; love). Galatians 5: 22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” | 13) They push for laws that are not based on God’s wisdom, but rather, on their own reprobate minds. They push for laws protecting lifestyles that are cursed by God, including homosexual marriages; protection of dangerous criminals; infanticide via abortions; and legalization of drugs. Their words and actions project darkness and sin (sexual immorality, cursing, gossip, profanity; bodily abuse; drunkenness; lying; pain, hopelessness; misery, jealousy; hate) Romans 1:28-30 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[a] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, |
14) Their names are written in God’s Book of Life as rightful inheritors of God’s Kingdom. Revelation 20: 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.” | 14) Their names are not found in God’s Book of life, they belong to Satan and everlasting torment in the depths of hell. (REF) Revelation 20:15 “And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.” |
15) Know that Jesus redeemed them from sin; they renounce sin, and seek righteousness as per God’s original plan for mankind. They have taken up the great Commission of Jesus Christ at 19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Words of Jesus Christ) | 15) They say that Jesus came for sinners and Christian teachers should hold their peace and let them live in their sin. They work against the Great Commission of Jesus Christ at |
On whose list are you?
Be blessed.
