The Lord Opposes Those Who Do Wrong

As we continue on in 1 Peter 3, I felt led to look at what Jesus said in the Revelation about sin. In our day most of the preachers do not preach against sin. When believers are living in sin, just as the Catholic priests falsely claim to pardon the sin of "believers", so the pastors pronounce the "believers" under "grace" and "saved". However, the scriptures require the believer "must turn away from evil and do good".

Jesus Christ and the only begotten of the Father speaks in Revelation 21 ISV:

5The one sitting on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new!”
He said, “Write this: ‘These words are trustworthy and true.’”

6Then he told me, “It has happened! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give a drink from the spring of the water of life to the one who is thirsty. 7The person who conquers will inherit these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. 

8But people who are

• cowardly, 
• unfaithful, 
• detestable, 
• murderers, 
• sexually immoral, 
• sorcerers, 
• idolaters, 
• and all liars 
• will find themselvesb in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

Brothers and sisters, unless we repent and turn away from these sins to follow Jesus, those who practice the sins listed above will forever be in the lake of fire. The grace of God was never meant to be a charm that covered sin. Those who practice evil will experience the lake of fire.


1 Peter 3 ISV

8Finally, all of you must live in harmony, be sympathetic, love as brothers, and be compassionate and humble. 9Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, keep blessing them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.

10“For the person who wants to love life

and see good days

must keep his tongue from evil

and his lips from speaking deceit.

11He must turn away from evil and do good.

He must seek peace and pursue it.

12For the Lordc watches the righteous,d

and he pays attention to their prayers.e

But the Lordf opposes thoseg who do wrong.”h
