sure



Okay, this one is a little different (I’m getting used to saying that) – but here goes:
Take out a piece of paper and get something to write with…yes, seriously.
I’m going to ask you 10 questions and you’re going to write your honest answer accordingly.

1. Explain the Gospel?
2. Where do believers spend eternity?
3. Who all will end up in Hell? Why?
4. Explain the difference between Salvation and Sanctification?
5. Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?
6. Why does God allow good things to happen to bad people?
7. What's the relationship between works and faith?
8. Aren't we all God's children?
9. Explain the purpose of church?
10. Explain your responsibility to God and the Gospel.

It’s often a good practice to write things down, because when they’re only allowed to be a thought, the parameters are less defined. When boundaries aren’t clear, you’re more likely to treat them as consequential or on occasion, dismiss them altogether.
Now, as you have clarified them, each of these answers carry significance and you need to ask yourself this pointed question – “Can someone look at my life and recognize that I live according to this understanding?”
Are you living with the seriousness of purpose that God showed when He delivered Christ to be our Sacrifice?
The book of Jude is small. One chapter of 25 verses but the impact of it can’t be overstated. The problem that he deals with then is just as much a major problem today: False teachings.

Here's The Word:

Jude

Jude brings to light one major idea. There is ONE faith, and we must strive to keep it in its pure and originally presented context against a real and present danger of subversion. The enemies of the faith are as old as disobedience and as relentless as the desire for self gain. We must keep watch and hold our doctrine dear to us, lest we be slyly coerced away and given to a counterfeit belief. We must give effort to know and keep the whole message of the Gospel and also to stay close, even clinging to its Author.

Everyone loves John 3:16,
but just as much The Holy Word of God is
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
Do we see this is less important?
It's always a good time to take inventory and check our beliefs against The Bible. We may find that we have no reason to worry at all, but we may find that we've been slowly pulled away from some important fundamentals. At the end of the day, it's just important that we be sure.

In Him,
Cros
