Being wrong
I have felt them… real dark terrors in a dark place deep inside my soul. A looming dread of being wrong with Jesus – they flit through my heart. Ever experienced those terrors?
To be wrong as a kid brought me fear of my Dad’s displeasure, or my Mom’s scolding. It was not a good thing at all — to be in the wrong. I was never abused, but my heart would drop when Dad said, “Go to your room.” I knew I was in for it then. It was a good spanking (one link or: Proverbs 13:1, Proverbs 13:24)!
God also disciplines us, gives a good spanking… when we need disciplining. It is always to bring us back on-track. His discipline is truly all good all the time.
See: discipline of the Lord: Hebrews 12:4-11, Revelation 3:19, and this list: One link or… Proverbs 3:11, Proverbs 22:15, Proverbs 5:23, Proverbs 10:13, Proverbs 12:1, Hebrews 12:4-11, Psalm 94:12, Psalm 119:7, Psalm 119:75, Proverbs 1:7.
Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I rebuke and discipline [showing them their faults and instructing them]; so be enthusiastic and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will].
– Revelation 3:19
Condemning judgement
Further along, not a “discipline”, is the certain coming condemning judgement of those who rejected Jesus. THAT is the terror of terrors I’ve felt run through my soul.
God’s Judgement should “scare the Hell out of us all”, because — to be wrong with Jesus, is a forever wrong …if we do not repent and turn to Him. Don’t persist with your rejection of Jesus, because tomorrow may never dawn. 1
To be wrong with Jesus
* is to be wrong forever throughout eternity without God, without good, ever.
* is to miss the boat.
* is to miscalculate the effect of your actions.
* is to put more weight on your thinking than should ever be done.
* is to misunderstand your position before God who will judge you for that.
* is to be in a great position for repentance and salvation by Jesus.
Seriously:

What it is to be wrong with Jesus
**If He on That Day of Judgement says “You are wrong”, well, you know… there is a reason He says that. What can you retort MirWeb: hurl back when God Himself says, “You are wrong”?
___________
These are what God has called “wrong“.
Being Wrong:
…when God Himself says, “You are wrong”
Wrong #1. Rely on your “good works” to save you. They won’t. The Truth is, actually, nothing you can do will ever win God. Let me explain “natural”.
Wrong #2. Just be good. Live your best life wherever, doing whatever you want. That’s easy. But, you are in the flesh, and God says flesh and blood absolutely cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.
Wrong #3. Love enough and you’ll be accepted by our loving God. But, that would be works-based, merit-based salvation. And God does not do that (See in one link or: Luke 13:24, Romans 11:6, Romans 4:2, Galatians 2:16, 2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:9.)
You really think you have the works of the flesh conquered to the point of holiness? Are you most likely actually loving the world more, and loving Jesus less? Think again.
Wrong #4. Have an achy achy heart. Go here for more: What does not save——- (Found inside: What saves you.)
Wrong #5. Be wrong with Jesus. Here is a list of how to be wrong with Jesus: This does not save you
And the list goes on and on and on….
___________
These are wrong …and do not save you. God is against these practices. Scary thought.
Don’t be fooled again and again and again. Don’t be fooled into Hell.
(This list is from this section, This does not save you, inside the article, What saves you.)
These are wrong: …they are contradicting Jesus, denying Jesus, discarding what Jesus taught
* “Believing” without doing. James 2:20TLB in James 2:14-26 “faith without works is dead”
* Believing in Jesus like Lucifer the Devil “believes”. We absolutely without fail “must” “believe” with a New Testament sense of the word.
* Hating and not forgiving others. See: | 1 John 3:14, Matthew 6:14-15, Matthew 18:35 | Hating is life changing – eternal life changing. Scary thought. |
* Religious practices that God has condemned.
* Practices of the flesh. See: Works of the flesh
* The “cracked heart”
* Not being all “in” for Him. James 2:20 See: Being 100% given-over to Jesus
* Rejecting God’s offer of salvation. Matthew 12:37 “…by your words [rejecting Me] you will be condemned and sentenced.”
* Keeping sin. – Playing with sin.

According to Jesus
What gains His approval
I am born again, and God has forgiven me of all my sins. I’m on my way to heaven because I’ve been saved by the Master of the Universe! My salvation is secure in Christ. He has promised to never leave me nor forsake me. This hope is the anchor of my soul. That’s true. – Source: Keeping sin
________
You cannot expect Jesus to let you waltz into Heaven with your sin. Ain’t happen’n. He is holy.
If God has labeled something “sinful” on earth, then how in the Heavens are you going to argue Him into a corner till He gives-in to you, a mere puny human mudman? Give it up.
Acknowledge you are sinful, repent – turn from it, and turn to Him for His mercy and grace. God can forgive any and all sins you may be dealing with. Go to Him. Sincerely and truthfully throw yourself on His grace and mercy.
– Source: What saves you
The forgiveness of God is the only thing that gains His approval. Start there, with a prayer of repentance.
Have you become
“double-minded”?
Doesn’t take much.
Just add another mind.
– Source: Double-minded means both loving Jesus AND loving a different gospel
FOR MORE:
To be wrong with Jesus is the worst. You can’t be in a worse position with God. It matters. You will never be happy in that state. So, think about it.
