I. There are two ways of life, you choose it's your
choice!
A. Heaven.Matthew 7:13-23
13. Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat: 14. Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find
it. 15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16. Ye shall know them
by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles? 17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18. A good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit. 19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire. 20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
them. 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which
is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work
iniquity.
...Jesus is coming for a church spotless
and without blemish.
1.Christ is the head of the
church.
2. Husbands is head of the
household.
3. Love your wives.
4. Wives submitt to your husbands as
unto God.
5. Stay sin free, clean up your
house.
Ephesians 5:25-29
23. For the husband is the head of
the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour
of the body. 24. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let
the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25. Husbands, love
your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for
it; 26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water
by the word, 27. That he might present it to himself a glorious church,
not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy
and without blemish. 28. So ought men to love their wives as their own
bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29. For no man ever yet
hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord
the church:
II. Put off the old man put on the
new.
Ephesians 4:17-29
17. This I say therefore, and
testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk,
in the vanity of their mind, 18. Having the understanding darkened,
being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in
them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19. Who being past
feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all
uncleanness with greediness. 20. But ye have not so learned
Christ; 21. If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by
him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22. That ye put off concerning the
former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the
deceitful lusts; 23. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24.
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness. 25. Wherefore putting away lying,
speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of
another. 26. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon
your wrath: 27. Neither give place to the devil. 28. Let him that
stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the
thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the
hearers.
1. We must love one another.love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, pray
for them that use you and persecute you, make your enemy your footstool,
heap coals of fire on their heads.
Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute
you;
2. The golden rule.
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for
this is the law and the prophets.
...We must live the way Jesus
instructed us to live, let's be an example.
...We can be like the wise man who built
his house on the rock, which is Christ Jesus, or the foolis man that built
his house on the sand.
...Get out of the world people, get to
know Jesus.
Time is running out. Get clean and give
up the bondage that satin has on your life. Jesus will give you peace and
joy unspeakable and full of glory.
III.He that doeth the will of the father
will enter in to heaven.
Matthew 7:21-23
21. Not every one that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth
the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in
that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name
have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23.
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye
that work iniquity.
...Jesus would rather us be cold or hot,
the lukewarm he will spue out of his mouth.
Revelation 3:15-16
15. I know thy works, that thou art
neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16. So then
because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out
of my mouth.

...What is your calling? This is God's
will in our lives. My calling is preaching the gospell of Christ.The gifts
and the callings of God are without repentance. We will be judged and
rewarded according to our works and tallents.
Revelation 20: 12. And I saw the
dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were
judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to
their works.
...What will you do with your
calling.
IV. The two servants.
Matthew 24:45-51
45. Who then is a faithful and wise
servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them
meat in due season? 46. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he
cometh shall find so doing. 47. Verily I say unto you, That he shall
make him ruler over all his goods. 48. But and if that evil servant
shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49. And shall
begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the
drunken; 50. The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51. And
shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
1. One servant wise, he was found
faithfull, he gets to enter in. Do you get to enter in?
2. The unwise servant, he was foolish,
his house wasn't clean when the master came. The good master is Jesus, we
are the servants, is your house clean?
Matthew25: 30. And cast ye the
unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
Revalation 22: 12. And, behold, I
come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his
work shall be.
V. Hell, lets talk about hell and the
things that will put you there.
1. They who live out the works of the
flesh.
Galations 5:19-21
19. Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, 20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also
told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit
the kingdom of God.
...They that do theese things will not
inherit the kingdom of God.
2. Living a lukewarm life, not being on
fire for God.
3. If your not saved and covered by the
blood of Jesus.
Revelation 20:15. And whosoever was
not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of
fire. 4. Wide is the gate that leadeth to destrucion for many will
find it. You best get right. Jesus is waiting for you, all you have to do
is ask him into your heart.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might
be saved.
1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he
is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth
on him shall not be ashamed. 12 ¶ For there is no difference between
the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that
call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.
Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
