Topic: Holiness Or Hell
Text: Hebrews 7:25-28

Everyone on earth has only two options: heaven or hell. You can afford to sit on the fence when it comes to matters that are ephemeral or trivial in nature. But for matters of great eternal consequences, there is no neutral position.

Satan has continued to deceive men and women into believing that it is possible to gamble with eternity. Satan often twists Acts 16:31: “And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Satan’s interpretation of the passage is that you can continue committing sin and that, as long as you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall be saved.

Many people have been deceived into believing this fallacy and have been led into hell. James 2:19 says: “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well the devils also believe, and tremble.” Even demons believe in Jesus Christ, yet they are not saved. To receive Salvation, you must repent. The Bible says: The Bible says: “I tee you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). Repentance means, first and foremost, to be sorry for one’s sins, then followed with the determination not to sin again.

It is also the belief of Satan that, once you are saved, you are saved forever. Again, this satanic error is anchored on Hebrew 7:25 which says, “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that comes unto God by him seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Satan sees this as meaning that once you profess your belief in Jesus Christ that is all there is to it. That is, you can continue to sin. He would try to convince you that the difference between the person committing sin and not saved and the person committing sin but is saved is that the former will go to hell while the latter will make heaven.

This is another error from the camp of the devil. If you believe this error you might discover, too late, that the devil is a deceitful preacher. Watch and pray.
