Jason Hendricks | PentecostalTheology.com(2 Timothy 2:19) “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ (DEPART FROM INIQUITY)” [SIN]
(1 Peter 4:1) “For as much then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath (CEASED FROM SIN)”
(Romans 6:11) “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be (DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN), but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord”
(John 9:31) “Now we know that (GOD HEARETH NOT SINNERS): but if any man be a worshipper of God, and (DOETH HIS WILL), Him he heareth” (ALSO READ MATTHEW 7:21-23)
(1 John 3:6-9) “(WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT): whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. (HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL); for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN); for his seed remaineth in him: and (HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD)”
(Mark 9:43-48) Jesus said, “(IF YOUR HAND CAUSES YOU TO SIN, CUT IT OFF). It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ And (IF YOUR FOOT CAUSES YOU TO SIN, CUT IT OFF). It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched where ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’ And (IF YOUR EYE CAUSES YOU TO SIN, PLUCK IT OUT). It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire where ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched”
(John 8:34) “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, (WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN IS THE SERVANT OF SIN)”
(John 8:11) “She said, “No man, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn thee; (GO AND SIN NO MORE)”
(John 5:14) “Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: (SIN NO MORE), lest a worse thing come unto thee”
(1 Corinthians 15:34) “Awake to righteousness, and (SIN NOT); for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame”
(1 John 5:18) “We know that (WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD SINNETH NOT); but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not”
(Proverbs 28:13) “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso (CONFESSETH) and (FORSAKETH THEM) shall have mercy”
(Hebrews 10:26-27) ” For (IF WE SIN WILFULLY) after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, (THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS), But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries”
(Proverbs 8:36) “But (HE THAT SINNETH AGAINST ME WRONGETH HIS OWN SOUL): all they that hate me love death”
(Romans 6:1-2) “What shall we say then? (SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND?) God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
(Ezekiel 18:20) “(THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE). The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him”
(Romans 6:16) “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; (WHETHER OF SIN UNTO DEATH), or of obedience unto righteousness?”
(Romans 6:23) “For (THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH); but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”
(James 1:15) “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and (SIN, WHEN IT IS FINISHED, BRINGETH FORTH DEATH)”
(James 4:8) “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. (CLEANSE YOUR HANDS, YE SINNERS; AND PURIFY YOUR HEARTS), ye double minded”
DOUBLE-MINDED: is a self-proclaiming Christian believer who is constantly living in a state of compromise. Half of them tries to live for God [ELOHIM], while the other half lives for their sinful bad habit. A double-minded Christian is always being torn in two directions. They seek to have a relationship with Jesus Christ [YAHSHUA] while simultaneously trying to live out their life with a particular sinful obsession. PARTIAL OBEDIENCE IS COMPLETE DISOBEDIENCE. This is also what the Bible refers to as being lukewarm (REVELATION 3:16).
(Colossians 1:28) “Whom we preach, (WARNING EVERY MAN) and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man (PERFECT) in Christ Jesus”
(Ezekiel 3:17-21) “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and (GIVE THEM WARNING FROM ME). When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to (WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WICKED WAY, TO SAVE HIS LIFE); the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity [SIN]; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity [SIN], and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou (WARN THE RIGHTEOUS MAN, THAT THE RIGHTEOUS SIN NOT), and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul”
(James 5:20) “Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the (ERROR OF HIS WAY) shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins”
(Ezekiel 18:21) “But if the wicked will (TURN FROM ALL HIS SINS THAT HE HATH COMMITTED), and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, (HE SHALL NOT DIE)”
(Isaiah 13:6-9) “Howl ye; for (THE DAY OF THE LORD IS AT HAND); it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Behold, (THE DAY OF THE LORD COMETH, CRUEL BOTH WITH WRATH AND FIERCE ANGER, TO LAY THE LAND DESOLATE: AND HE SHALL DESTROY THE SINNERS THEREOF OUT OF IT)”

Jesus Christ [YESHUA] made it crystal clear not everyone who “BELIEVES” will make it into Heaven (MATTHEW 7:21-23). Ones “BELIEF” means absolutely nothing if one is not living their life in compliance and obedience to His words, teachings and commandments. You can profess to be a Christian, profess to believe, profess the name Jesus and even attend Church singing the hymns every Sunday all you want. But if you’re offended, ashamed of, reject, disregard and are being completely disobedient to the very words, teachings and commandments of whom you profess to follow; then it’s all done in vain because you’re just deceiving yourself and you’re not truly serving and following God [ELOHIM] (MATTHEW 15:8 ● TITUS 1:16). The Lord isn’t coming back for fakes who only talk the talk; but rather for his true, sold out followers who strive each and every day to walk the difficult and narrow walk (MATTHEW 7:13-14 ● LUKE 13:24). Jesus said only those who are “TRULY BORN AGAIN” in which one possesses and is led by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (JOHN 3:5), whom is seeking, serving and are being obedient to Him and His words will enter the kingdom of God.
TRUE FAITH BRINGS REPENTANCE OF ONES SINS AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD AND HIS WORD. If you are still committing any willful, un-repented sin whether you profess to be a Christian believer or even the unsaved; you are whom Jesus Christ [YESHUA] has come to call to repentance (LUKE 5:32 ● EZEKIEL 18:21 ● 2 PETER 3:9). Whether one continues to commit the sin of Fornication [PRE-MARITAL SEX], lust, lying, stealing, addiction, un-forgiveness, hate, strife, envy, pride, jealousy, slander, gossip, discord, drunkenness, fits of rage, adultery, disobedience to parents, vanity, gluttony, greed, covetousness, idolatry, extortion, debauchery, selfish ambition, dis-belief, effeminate, homo sexuality, witchcraft and murder. None of these things are worth spending eternity in hell for! (GALATIANS 5:19-21 ● 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10 ● 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-4 ● REVELATION 21:8). Yes, our God is loving, merciful, gracious, faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 JOHN 1:9).
But what most fail to understand is; our God is also a holy and righteous judge. One must turn from their sin and unrighteousness in order to be forgiven for them. If you’re a Christian believer and can’t stop sinning you are either 1) not truly saved or 2) you have received the Holy Spirit but yet you reject its conviction and continue to follow after the flesh. Either way you are going to perish unless you repent because all sin leads to death (ROMANS 6:16 ● JAMES 1:15). The Children of God are those that follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and deny the flesh (ROMANS 8:1 ● ROMANS 8:14). One can pray over and over asking forgiveness of their wrong doings. But actions speak louder than words. If ones actions don’t change, the words they speak become meaningless. Please drop to your knees today by asking for forgiveness and truly submitting your life wholeheartedly to Jesus Christ [YESHUA]. Repent and turn from all of your sin while there is still time my friends (2 PETER 3:9 ● LUKE 13:3). JESUS IS COMING VERY, VERY SOON! PLEASE GET RIGHT WITH THE LORD BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
