If we are caught up in the cares of this life and loving the things of this world, we may be left to the testing which is coming. Some will be like the five virgins who did not have enough oil and were told by Jesus "I never knew you". Matthew 25:12
The seven letters to the churches all end in a very sobering warning from Jesus the Messiah:
"‘Let everyoned listen to what the Spirit says to the churches".
Friends, do not trust your soul to the ear tickling, false teachers and preachers of our day. They will not help us on the day of judgment. You are to be judging the teachers. Multitudes have been deceived. If you do not know what the scriptures say and simply trust a teacher or teachers, you are playing with your soul. Many are continuing in sins that keep people out of the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived. Search out what Jesus and those chosen to write the New Testament said. Obey God.
Revelation 3 ISV
‘The one who is holy, who is true,
who has the key of David,
who opens a door thatd no one can shut,
and who shuts a door thate no one can open,
‘says this:
8‘I know what you’ve been doing. Look! I have put in front of you an open door that no one can shut. You have only a little strength, but you have obeyed my word and have not denied my name.
- 9I will make those who belong to the synagogue of Satan—those who claim to be Jews and aren’t, but are lying—come and bow down at your feet.
- Then they will realize that I have loved you.
- 10Because you have obeyed my command to endure,f I will keep you from the hour of testing that is coming to the whole world to test those living on the earth.
- 11I am coming soon!
- Hold on to what you have so that no one takes your victor’s crown.
- 12I will make the one who conquers to become a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and he will never go out of it again.
- I will write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God), and my own new name.
