Do you know God if you redefine His character and commands?
Professing Christians who affirm abortion, LGBTQ lifestyles, premarital sex, pagan practices, racism, etc., may have “an outward form of godliness,” but they are denying God's principles and power (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
Christ warns them:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” Matthew 7:21-23
We aren't saved by doing good things, but anyone who is genuinely saved will seek to do God's will. And that means believing what Scripture teaches and speaking truth.
Those who redefine God's commands to affirm sinful practices are living in sin even if they never commit the sins they approve. And no one living a sinful lifestyle is saved (1 John 3:9).
Cultural Christians are more popular with the world, but one day they'll hear God say, “Away from me, you evildoers!”
We must offer this loving warning: You can spend your life doing good deeds, but denying what Scripture teaches is a rejection of God. See Matthew 28:19-20, Matthew 13:20-23, James 1:22-25, Luke 6:46-49, Romans 2:13, Romans 1:32, Ephesians 5:1-17, etc.
