Bible Answer:
Can anyone doubt that we are living in
the end times.
Our Lord spoke much about denial.
Matthew 10:32-39 KJV
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess
Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in
heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny Me
before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in
heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send
peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at
variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and
the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of
his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother
more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter
more than Me is not worthy of Me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross,
and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.
39 He that findeth his life shall
lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.
Mark 8:34-38 KJV
34 And when He had called the people
unto Him with His disciples also, He said unto them, Whosoever will
come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow Me.
35 For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My sake and the
gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man,
if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be
ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful
generation; of him also shall The Son Of Man be ashamed, when He
cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.
Luke 9:62 KJV
And Jesus said unto him, No man,
having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the
kingdom of God.
John 15:5,6 NLT
5 “Yes, I am The Vine; you are the
branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much
fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.
6 Anyone who does not remain in Me
is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are
gathered into a pile to be burned.
I Timothy 1:18,19 KJV (Apostle
Paul warns Timothy.)
18 Timothy, my son, here are my
instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you
earlier. May they help you fight well in The Lord’s battles.
19 Cling to your faith in Christ,
and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately
violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been
shipwrecked.
I Timothy 4:1,2 NLT
1 Now The Holy Spirit tells us
clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true
faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come
from demons.
2 These people are hypocrites and
liars, and their consciences are dead.
II Timothy 2:11-13 NLT
11 This is a trustworthy saying: If
we die with Him, we will also live with Him.
12 If we endure hardship, we will
reign with Him. If we deny Him, He will deny us.
13 If we are unfaithful, He remains
Faithful, for He cannot deny who He is.
II Timothy 4:3,4 NLT
3 For a time is coming when people
will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will
follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell
them whatever their itching ears want to hear.
4 They will reject The Truth and
chase after myths.
Hebrews 3:12 KJV
Take heed, brethren, lest there be
in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from The Living
God.
Hebrews 10:38,39 KJV
38 Now the just shall live by faith:
but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw
back unto perdition (destruction) NLT); but of them that believe to
the saving of the soul.
II Peter 2:20-22 NLT
20 And when people escape from the
wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off
than before.
21 It would be better if they had
never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject
the command they were given to live a holy life.
22 They prove The Truth of this
proverb: “A dog returns to its vomit.” And another says, “A
washed pig returns to the mud.”
II Peter 3:17 KJV
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye
know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with
the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Yes The Word Of
God, warns us....
I Timothy 4:1 NLT
Now The Holy Spirit tells us clearly
that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith;
Now is the time for Christian people to
let their Light shine.
Luke 11:33 NLT
“No one lights a lamp and then
hides it or puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a
stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house.
Now is the time to
pray for friends who may have fallen away, and now is the time to let
our life shine in faithfulness for our soon coming Savior!
Matthew 24:34-51
NLT
34 I tell you The Truth, this
generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take
place. \
35 Heaven and earth will disappear,
but My words will never disappear.
36 “However, no one knows the day
or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven
or
The Son Himself. Only The Father
knows.
37 “When The Son Of Man returns,
it will be like it was in Noah’s day.
38 In those days before the flood,
the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up
to the time Noah entered his boat.
39 People didn’t realize what was
going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is
the way it will be when The Son Of Man comes.
40 “Two men will be working
together in the field; one will be taken, the other left.
41 Two women will be grinding flour
at the mill; one will be taken, the other left.
42 “So you, too, must keep watch!
For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.
43 Understand this: If a homeowner
knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not
permit his house to be broken into.
44 You also must be ready all the
time, for The Son Of Man will come when least expected.
45 “A faithful, sensible servant
is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his
other household servants and feeding them.
46 If the master returns and finds
that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.
47 I tell you The Truth, the master
will put that servant in charge of all he owns.
48 But what if the servant is evil
and thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’
49 and he begins beating the other
servants, partying, and getting drunk?
50 The master will return
unannounced and unexpected,
51 and he will cut the servant to
pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Hebrews 10:23
KJV
Let us hold fast the profession of
our faith without wavering; (for He is Faithful that promised;)
