You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ Matthew 5.21

A person’s life is their greatest gift, their essence. But some let the enemy use them in such a way that they don’t even reason when they indulge in the inexplicable and crazy act of killing someone, for example. The demon that used Cain to kill Abel, his brother, can be the same one involved in all kinds of murder (Genesis 4.8-13). Jesus was clear when He declared that anyone who kills will be a defendant in judgment. Understand: The judgment seat of the Lord is perfect, it does not accept lies!

God speaks about the creators of unjust laws, which also kill many from starvation and disease, because of greed or bribery (Isaiah 10.1,2). Imagine the doctors who are trained to save lives, but yield themselves to carrying out abortions. Now, this practice is nothing more than infanticide, and the Most High will demand from the professionals involved the damage caused by the death of these fetuses. For the Creator, each being was planned to come into the world and hear about the Master.

Why did Pharaoh have the Hebrew children killed 3,500 years ago (Exodus 1.1-22)? Satan was the one who put such barbarity in his heart (Exodus 1.15-22). The evil one did not want the Son of God to come into the world, but even in the face of this threat, in the midst of the dead, the “one taken from the waters” – Moses, survived and served the Almighty (Hebrews 11.23). Many people refuse to get right with the Creator and thus obey the king of wickedness. Salvation in Christ is the only way out for them!

How many innocent ones have been killed in the world by laws approving abortion or by decisions of the Judiciary? Those who authorize this act will not go unpunished; after all, this is not a simple mistake, but a diabolical action. The authorities that persecute the Gospel, which teaches about Jesus’ sacrifice in favor of mankind, prevent millions from being freed from the power of Hell, and therefore become responsible for the crimes that occur in the nation. There will be just punishment!

The command is clear: You shall not murder (Exodus 20.13)! However, when one is invested with power, both in rich and poor countries, some men consider themselves to be self-sufficient. Why don’t they also choose faith in the Lord? Faith, followed by His teachings, will make every saved person an agent of good, able to judge the best defenders of evil. There is no option but to fulfill the commandment, for it was given by the One who planned and created us.

God has placed in us a conscience that accuses us of the slightest deviation, but if we let the spirit of death take hold of us, we will act like ferocious animals. Those who kill will sit in the spiritual bench and be judged, aware of their sentence of condemnation, in which the penalty will be served eternally in the lake of fire and brimstone (Revelation 21.8). The Bible doesn’t say this for nothing, but because it loves us and wants our good. Repent and be saved!

Why go to Judgment, if Jesus said: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. (John 5.24)? Don’t miss the greatest opportunity of your life; by accepting Christ as Savior, your sins will be forgiven and you will be free. Pray right now!

In Christ, with love,
