Come out to mix, always have to pay back! Americans are always so selfish! They stirred up the First and Second World Wars, and the American mainland was always out of the way! There are still two unexploded ordnance in the US mainland, I don't know where? If this time a third world war, if this time a nuclear war, Americans don't have to think about what we can do. Although the United States is quite far from Ukraine, it is not Putin who will punish this time, but God! Let's just wait and see! Just saw a stat that I've been waiting for for two years, and it's just in place today! There are some things we can't avoid! I have tried my best! Like two years ago, I kept telling everyone what to do with Covid and no one was listening! The final judgment is bound to come. The purpose of judgment is not to perish, but to give us hope in the end!
(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.~Don't cast all sins to others! Americans like to blame others and never examine themselves. Of course, this is also the characteristic of Christians! Not sure why you became a Christian? Maybe you believe in God, maybe you believe in heaven, maybe you are for some social circle...but I really like the truth of God!
There are many people who think: only fools like the truth! Everyone lives to get the most benefit and pay the least price. Therefore, there are a lot of lies and scams in this world, and no one wants to suffer by themselves! Perhaps, you feel that there is no God, no judgment, and the truth of the Bible is those chicken soup for the soul, just like other religions - make people do good! First of all, the truth of the Bible is really quite complete, and the Bible is not chicken soup for the soul. It can't be interpreted in this way or in another way. If the truth can be interpreted arbitrarily, it is not the truth of the Bible! The Truth is that it never changes! The Truth is that heaven and earth will pass away, but the Truth will never pass away! Is there a paradise? Are there any rewards? Not very important to me! Not because I don't believe in God, but because I believe in God and I really know I don't deserve it! I am ineligible for heaven, and I am ineligible for rewards, because I know how many evil things I have done!
If God wants to judge my past evil, I will accept it completely! The Bible doesn't tell us that we don't have to pay for our wickedness! Nor does the Bible tell us that sins are forgiven - that is, without paying for past sins! Jesus' blood washes away our sins, but Jesus and the Bible never tell us that we can live in sin forever! After becoming a Christian, who can tell himself: I have never sinned! After becoming a Christian, I still make sins sometime, but that doesn't mean I can't go to heaven, because the right to go to heaven is in the hands of God, not in the hands of man! And whether I can go to heaven or not, God decides! Do Christians have to pay for their sins? Christians sins must be "punished"! God never said: Christians can sin without punishment! "Forgiveness of sins" has nothing to do with sins not being punished!
Let me tell you a little story from the Bible, and you will know how miserably you have been deceived by the pastors! And this is how Jesus judged people! (Matthew 18:34) And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.~Some people say: This parable of Jesus is for us to forgive, but Jesus is not telling us: What if we sin again?
There was a servant who owed his master 10 million taels, and the master asked him to repay the debt, but he could not repay and asked the master to forgive him. Later, the master forgave him the 10 million taels of debt! But as soon as he was forgiven, he found the poor man who owed him ten taels, and he asked the poor to pay back the money. If the poor could not pay, he sent the poor to prison! Until the poor pay off their money, they can't be released from prison! When the master heard that he was furious, he also ordered the servant to be put into prison, and he could only be released after the servant paid off the money! There are two very important truths in this story: 1. After the sinner is forgiven and sins again, he must fully repay the previous sin debt! 2. Only those who truly have the authority to forgive can forgive our sins! Many pastors explain the story simply: if you don't forgive, your sins won't be forgiven! The truth of the Bible is so simple that there is no need to interpret the Bible, so everyone who casually flips through the Bible can go to heaven!
Jesus is always so wise! 1. Jesus told us: Only the master has the authority to forgive sins! Those who have the authority to forgive sins, tell you: Your sins are forgiven, this is the real forgiveness! If Jesus did not have the authority to forgive sins, then Jesus died for us 10 million times, and He died in vain! Because we still have to pay our sin debt! Therefore, Jesus is the judge, and of course He has the authority to forgive sins! 2. When the servant asks the poor to pay his debts, he sins! Because he had no compassion, no forgiveness, and no love for his neighbor as himself, he put the poor in prison and had to pay off his debts before he could get out of prison. The servant was forgiven his former debts, but he did not forgive the poor, that is, the servant held on to his past sins! Crime again! So, the forgiver of sins sent his servant to prison until he paid off his debts! Is it possible for him to pay off his debts in prison? What does this mean? He will never be released from prison! Just think about this story for yourself! We should not sin again and never enjoy in sins!
