The Most Important Decision In Life

The Most Important Decision In Life

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

     The most important decision in life is to get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. The biggest gamble is to say that there is no hell. Most people study 4 years in college to prepare for a career that lasts around 50 years, but they won't take 5 minutes to decide where they will spend eternity. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says For He (the Lord Jesus) saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation.

     Right now God is allowing people everywhere to get saved because 2 Peter 3:9 says The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. And according to 1 Timothy 2:4 God wants all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. But there will come a time soon when God will not allow people to be saved because of their sins and rebellion. In other words people can cross a line with God and not be able to repent, return to God, and get saved. 

Esau and Cain Sinned Too Much And Could Not Repent And Get Saved

Right Now Esau And Cain Are In Hell Because Of Their Rebellion

     Esau sold his birthright and hope for salvation to his brother Jacob for one morsel of meat and the temporary sinful pleasure of fornication with many women. Esau sinned so much that he crossed a line with God where he could not return to God for salvation. Note the warning at Hebrews 12:16 about Esau that says Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

     In other words the many sins of Esau prevented him from returning to God for salvation. Esau found no place of repentance though he sought it carefully with tears. Esau is in hell because repentance is a requirement to be saved. 2 Corinthians 7:10 says For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Paul said at Acts 20:20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

     Don't be like Esau and find yourself in a place where you have sinned so much that you can not find repentance and return to God. Stop smoking pot and weed, aborting babies, drinking alcohol all day, fornicating with woman all the time, supporting same sex marriage and transgenderism, and removing prayer and bibles from schools. While there is still time, repent and stop these sins and God will have mercy on you and save you. If you ignore this plea, you will end up like Esau and not find repentance and be lost in torment forever in a burning hell and the lake of fire.

     Cain thought that his good works without believing in the Lamb Jesus' sacrifice could save him. Cain failed to realize that the only way to be saved is to trust in the Lord Jesus' sacrifice as the Lamb of God at the cross of Calvary.  Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Cain offered his good works and best fruits to God and was rejected. Abel offered the Lamb Jesus sacrificed and was received by God and blessed with salvation. Cain thought all the labour of my hands can fulfill thy laws demands and ended up lost in hell and the lake of fire. His brother Abel believed nothing in my hands I bring, simply to the cross I cling and received peaceful salvation forever with our Lord Jesus in heaven.

     Jude 11 places Cain in hell because it connects Cain to Balaam and Core (Korah) who after rebellion against Moses went down alive into the pit of hell after the earth opened up and swallowed him. Jude 11 says Woe unto them. for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core (Korah). Cain is lost in hell forever because he failed to repent of his sins. Instead of repenting that is required for salvation, after murdering his brother Abel, Cain just said at Genesis 4:13 My punishment is greater than I can bear. And because Cain sinned too much without repenting and crossed a line with God, Cain is forever in hell and the lake of fire as a fugitive saying My punishment is greater than I can bear. Don't be like Cain and suffer the punishment of hell and the lake of fire. Instead be like Abel and believe in the Lamb of God Jesus' sacrifice at the cross of Calvary and be blessed with eternal life in peaceful heaven.

     And note that Cain was rejected by God and is in hell and the lake of fire forever because all Cain said after he murdered his brother Abel was Am I my brother's keeper instead of repenting and asking God to forgive him for his sin of murder. God condemned Cain to hell and the lake of fire and said that Cain would be a lost fugitive and vagabond in the earth. Cain is forever lost as a fugitive, thief, and vagabond in hell and the lake of fire. 1 John 3:12 says Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one (from the devil destined for hell and the lake of fire), and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Becasue his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. All Cain did was run and hide from God after he sinned with no repentance. Whenever anyone runs and hides after they sin, there is no repentance that is required to be saved. 

     Don't be like Cain after you sin. Proverbs 28:13 says He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Draw near to our Lord Jesus (don't run from God hiding your sins because God sees everything). Obey James 4:8 that says Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

All The Disobedient People During The Days Of Noah

Sinned Too Much And Could Not Repent And Get Saved

     2 Peter 2:5 tells us that Noah was a preacher of righteousness that told many people in his generation to repent and get saved. 1 Peter 3:19 tells us that Jesus through the preaching of Noah went and preached unto the spirits in prison, which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.  All the people of Noah's generation rejected God except Noah's wife, three sons, and their wives. All the people that rejected Noah's preaching are now in hell and the lake of fire because only the eight members of Noah's family got saved.

     The people that rejected Noah crossed a line with God where they could not return to God and get saved. 1 Peter 1:10-11 proves that Jesus through the preaching of  prophet Noah for 120 years offered salvation to the people of Noah's day. The scripture says Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. All the people that rejected Jesus after they heard Noah preach went to hell and the lake of fire and do not have a second chance for salvation after death.  Remember that people can sin and reach a place where God's spirit will not strive with them any more and offer salvation. Genesis 6:3 says And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive (plead) with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 

     Don't gamble with your soul and spirit. Eternity is a long time. Stop sinning while there is time and get saved today. Numbers 32:23 says But if you will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out. Hebrews 3:15 says While it is said, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation (when sinners provoked God to anger by rebellion). 

     Right now today make a decision to stop sinning and get saved. Jesus is knocking at your door asking you to get saved. Jesus said at Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 

     Choose Jesus who is the door of salvation and get saved. Jesus said at John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Remember that the most important decision in life is to get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.
