Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies,  envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  (Galatians 5:19-21)

Every one of us is an omelet, there is a lot of good in us … well most of us (don’t look around) …but there is some bad in us too and that makes us unfit for the presence of The Supreme Being.

  But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all your conduct; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. (1^st Peter 1:15-16)

“It is not a little dislike, but thorough hatred which God bears to workers of iniquity.  To be hated of God is an awful thing.  O let us be very faithful in warning the wicked around us, for it will be a terrible thing for them to fall into the hands of an angry God” — C. H. Spurgeon.  Light cannot have communion (commingle) with darkness, they are totally incompatible.

Therefore if you are not a Christian at this point in time you’ve got a serious problem according to God’s Word, the Holy Bible; but the remedy is available – commit yourself to Jesus.  It is simpler than most folk realize.

  I say, then, Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.  (Galatians 5:16)

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)

But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law.  (Galatians 5:22-23)

Fallen man has come under the wrath of God but that is not what we were created for.  We were created for fellowship with Him and that is what He still longs for and the reason He made the way for us to be reconciled to Him.  “The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2^nd Peter 3:9)

Those who fail to heed God’s commands and are not actively abiding in Christ Jesus prior to their departure from this world will hear “Depart from Me you cursed into everlasting fire” (Matt 25:41)  What is usually not realized is that this will be spoken from a broken heart for God Himself has stated that He has no delight in the death of the wicked and longs to be able to welcome you into His heaven but, you see, His Justice, coupled with His other divine attributes, prevents those who have not been reconciled through His Son to gain entrance into that holy place.

Perhaps this illustration will help:  God has a peanut allergy.  For those of us who are not allergic to peanuts this may not make a whole lot of sense but bear with me.  I enjoy a good PB&J sandwich occasionally and I’ve eaten one in the presence of someone who was allergic to peanuts and he sort of went flakey.  For me, his reaction certainly seemed to me to be a little illogical, but for him he knows what ingesting only a little bit of peanut product will do to him and he wanted to put distance between himself and that “hazardous” substance.  Now the Holy Bible tells me that there was at one time a “hazardous substance” in heaven.  It was found in the heart of Lucifer and it cost God one-third of His angels.  He is not going to permit Heaven to ever be polluted again.  Now, we are, in essence, saturated through and through with peanut oil and the only cure, the only way to get rid of it, is Jesus.  Buddha brand aspirin won’t work, pagan pepto stuff won’t work; nor will churchy chlorine sans Christ or anything else you can come up with.  Jesus is the only cleansing/purifying agent who can remove all the impurities that are in us and make us fit for heaven.
