BELIEVING NOT THE TRUTH
PLEASURING IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
Brother James, OIC
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Believing in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the beginning of a Measure of Faith that will grow as we hear the Word of Truth. Yet many believe the Gospel but immediately turn from Truth choosing instead the things Satan offers as truth but are lies.
2Th 2:9-11 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Many choose to have pleasure in unrighteousness and not in the Love of the Truth. Many hold onto their knowledge of good, their self righteousness and take pride that they in society’s eyes are good people. But True Righteousness is only through Faith in Jesus and the True Jesus is onlyfound in the Divine Nature that is given through the Promises of God (see 2 Peter 1:4). So if you are trusting in mans accomplishments: Pharmaceuticals (witchcraft, sorcery), 12 Step Programs, Philosophies, Psychologies, Educational Goals, Careers, Self Help Groups etc.
Then the Spirit of Christ in Paul the Apostle wrote this to you:
Gal 1:6-8 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Gal 4:16-20 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
We have a slogan for our soon to start Christian Recovery Call In Radio Program and that is this question:
“What is your solution Dr Phil, A Pill or Jesus?”
