A Plea.....

Dear Ones I came across this today and thought it was pretty good. There is NO hope for those who reject Christ.

Is Jesus living within our heart, or do we pay lip-service with our spiritual fruit which we show evil and of the world.

Galations 5:
16: This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17: For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20: Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21: Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23: Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24: And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25: If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26: Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Sinner,

In GOD name I command you to REPENT and Believe.

Do you turn away and say you will not be commanded? Then again I will change my note....I exhort you to flee to Christ (JESUS).
O my Brother (or sister), do you know what a LOVING Christ (JESUS) HE is?

Let me tell you from my own soul what I know of HIM....I thought that Christ (JESUS)
was cruel and unkind. O I can never forgive myself that I should have a thought so ill of HIM. But what a loving reception did I have when I went to HIM. I thought HE would smite me, but HIS hand was not clenched in anger but opened wide in mercy..
I entreat you to STOP and CONSIDER. Do you know what it is you are rejecting (AT THIS MOMENT)? You are rejecting Christ (JESUS),your only Savior.

I should be a worst Fiend if I did not now, with all love and kindness, and earnestness, beseech you to LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE, to labour not for the meat (food of the world and SELF) that perishes, but for the meat(food of the SAVING GOSPEL) that ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE. (CHS)

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GO TO HELL--YOU CAN'T GO THERE WITHOUT TRAMPLING ON THE SON OF GOD. (J. Duncan)
