And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. (Rev 9:4,6,20-21)
Great judgments against those who will not surrender to GOD on His terms are sent, not because GOD is evil, but because man is not good and only those that place their trust in Him receive the righteousness of GOD. Repentance and faith in the finished and perfect work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary is the only way to come to GOD, and to receive Him. Any other works, or beliefs, even in 'ignorance', that is opposed to GOD and His Word will be judged, and cast out of His presence. Those who want to trust themselves instead of Christ, or those who put their trust in some system or someone else will, since they are already guilty of sIn and under condemnation, see that only GOD can save and forgive.
Since all are under condemnation without Christ, we as His children are to share His message of hope, love and grace to this lost and dying world. We are to love and disciple one another as the body of Christ, in fellowship and worship of our Heavenly Father, so others may see, hear, and believe. We are to minister to the hurting and needy around us, not to earn our Salvation, for it has already been paid for, but because of what Christ has done for us, and as GOD gives the increase to us. We are to preach and proclaim the Good News of the Gospel to a world of lost sinners, who desperately need the grace and Salvation of the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He freely offers you Salvation and forgiveness, and if you will surrender to Him on His terms and place your faith and trust in what He did for you on that cruel Roman cross, He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. He has already done the work and paid the price for your sIn, receive Him and His forgiveness today.
In Christ,
