HAVE I BECOME YOUR ENEMY BY TELLING YOU THE TRUTH?

 

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth ?

 

  1. The Truth is not popular. Many hate truth. Why? Because it causes one to have to make a decision as to whether they want to remain the same or change.
  2. Truth always exposes one’s position on a matter because they either agree or disagree with it.
  3. A true Minister of the Gospel is responsible before God to tell the truth when preaching a message and to present nothing but the truth…..not opinion.
  4. It is not a minister's reponsibility to make anyone “feel good.” Therefore, at all times the Truth of God's Word must be preached no matter what the response may be.

 

 

For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

 

  1. Truth changes people and sets them free. The Bible says this when it tells us that “the truth shall set you free”
  2. “Religion” on the other hand never did anything good for anyone. It places people in bondage. It is not your friend.
  3. Some people who profess to know Christ simply have “religion” and do not know Him at all. Other’s however have a relationship with Jesus based on the Truth of God’s Word, based on the truth of who Jesus is and what He accomplished for us through the cross. That is why the all-encompassing message or word of the cross has to be preached at the exclusion of everything else….because there is no salvation, no healing, no victory, no eternal life any other way.

 

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life ; no one comes to the Father but by Me.

  1. Jesus said He is THE TRUTH AND THE WAY. What we must realize then, is that He is the ONLY way. You will only find eternal life in Jesus and by His Way….not the way of religion. This includes ANY religion that professes to be Christian or not Christian that somehow says we can obtain our salvation through works, or by reciting some mantra…and this includes Hail Marys' or prayer beads. 
  2. Salvation does not come through confession to a Priest or to a Protestant Pastor. Confession is never a bad thing but one cannot obtain salvation through any other means but confession to Jesus Christ. Note that I am not singling out either the protestant or catholic faith as saying that everyone or anyone in these faiths are lost. I certainly believe there are people saved in both groups. However, let me be clear about this. JOINING A CHURCH, GOING TO MASS, WORSHIP OF MARY, CONFESSION TO MARY OR THE SAINTS, SEEKING MARY OR THE SAINTS TO INTERCEDE ON YOUR BEHALF, SAYING HAIL MARYS AND CONFESSION TO A PRIEST OR A PASTOR WILL NOT SAVE YOU. BEING BAPTIZED IN A CHURCH WILL NOT SAVE YOU. BEING RAISED IN A CHURCH WILL NOT SAVE YOU. JOINING A CHURCH WILL NOT SAVE YOU. Salvation only comes through a relationship with JESUS CHRIST.

 

  • IV. MATTHEW CHAPTER 7: VS 13-23 READ AS FOLLOWS:

 

13"Enter through the narrow gate ; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.14"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

15"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.16"You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?17"So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.18"A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.19"Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.20"So then, you will know them by their fruits.21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.22"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles ?'23"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

  1. Notice that the gate to heaven is a narrow gate. You cannot get there your own way. Buddah, Krishna, Muhammad, Confucious, Mormonism, The Jehovah Witnesses, and other “religions”, despite being well-meaning perhaps, will not get you to heaven. Even professed Christian religions will not get you there without a relationship with Jesus Christ.
  2. We see this is verses 22 and 23 where many will say, “Lord , Lord…but their end will be that Jesus tells them, “I NEVER KNEW YOU.” There has to be a relationship…..not religion.

14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

  1. I do not say this to be unkind, but confession to a priest is no longer necessary. We can go directly to Jesus because He IS THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST THAT MAKES INTERCESSION FOR US. No man can forgive you of your sins. This is something only Christ can do because His blood has atoned for your sins. No one else has done that. We are told to come boldly to the throne of grace. We can approach God for ourselves but it was not always that way
  2. In the past, only a priest could enter the Holy of Holies and make sacrifice and intercession to God on behalf of man. Only a Priest could bring a sacrifice to God to cover a man or woman’s sin. There was a veil or type of curtain in the temple that separated man and God and only a Priest could pass through that veil and go to the other side and approach God on man’s behalf. Anyone else that tried it and any priest that was impure would be killed by God Himself.
  3. But look in the following scripture what happened when Jesus’s crucifiction was finished on the cross and He had atoned for the sins of all mankind…including you and me!
  4. Matthew 27:51 NAS

And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom ; and the earth shook and the rocks were split.

  1. The veil was torn so that we could be given free access now to God the Father through Jesus Christ. This is why we pray to the Father in the name of Jesus…not Mary or any priest or saint. We can now come boldly to the throne of grace. The Bible tells is that we have a high priest who synpahtizes with our weaknesses...Jesus Christ the Righteous and that He ever lives to make intercession for us. We pray to the Father in the name of Jesus because He prays for our strength and has atoned for our sins. When Satan comes to accuse us before God and says "guilty", Jesus imtervenes and says, "No. Innocent! I have atoned for his or her sins with My blood."

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth ?

 

This is the question for all of us. Are we willing to go to hell in the name of traditions and religion? Or are we willing to accept the Truth of God’s Word and walk in freedom, reality and purpose? Do we want to continue in dead and restrictive religion? Or do we want to grow in Christ? Many today love the Lord with all their hearts….they really do….but they are bound up in false teaching and in religion when in reality, Christ wants to set them free.

May the Lord bless this Word to your heart.
