Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

I Corinthians 15: 34

It is necessary for us not to go away from the doctrine of Christ considering that those who do so fall under the condemnation of the devil, the one who always has a fresh “doctrine” up his sleeve. Going back to one’s spiritual sobriety is something that all children of God must strive to do. Vanity is absolutely useless and those who give themselves to it are bound to not go too far. Therefore, keep an eye wide open so your opponent will not make you get lost eternally in that spiritual coldness makes men dive deep into awful sins.

Those that go adrift are sinning. The bad news is that, as they miss the target, they turn away from God to fall right underneath the devil’s authority. And when that happens they end up getting nothing else right as they go further away from The Way. Then the enemy manages to achieve free access to that life, and sicknesses gets so fast into their hearts that they cannot even realize that they have been caught up in the claws of Satan.

On top of that, remaining insensitive to the suffering reserved for the lost is sheer disobedience to The Lord who always touches our heart for us to tell those people about their eternal fate. Such blessed voice guides us all the time; yet, if we do not pay heed to it we might be blamed for someone else’s doom. Those who love each other and, for that reason, they also love The Lord feel pleasure in spreading out the good news of the divine love to everybody.

Many get used to the offerings of the world and, by doing so, they are not being obedient to the commandment of preaching The Gospel to all creation (Mark 16: 15). Some people don’t even worry about the fate of those who have not accepted Jesus as their Saviour yet. If that is your case you must look into yourself because that signals that your salvation is undoubtedly at stake. We have a duty to hand out what we have received (Mathew 10: 8 b)!

Although we were elected by The Most High to evangelize our generation, some say they do not mind about the fate of their beloved ones or that of their friends, as well as that of those people who still do not fear The Lord. Now, those who behave that way will, one day, repent because they stopped getting across the loving message about God and, now, there is nothing else to do. The Almighty will not deem as innocent those who know how to do well but don´t do it. May that not be your case because when The Judgement Day comes the silent ones will have to be accountable for the moments they missed when they could have talked about the love of God, yet they didn´t. Do not keep your arms crossed in such a crucial time as this one. It is good to go for the sinners before they get lost forever and so do you.

Those who are wise always do what pleases The Lord and they know that, apart from the reward they will receive for paying heed to God, they will not be found guilty regarding the responsibility which was put upon their shoulders. As far as you are concerned may nobody get lost for eternity!

In Christ, with love,
