ARE YOU A “LORD LORD” CHRISTIAN...?

Jesus said once that some would demand entrance into Heaven, yet it would be denied...
Are you sure you know what that means?
Let’s see what REAL relationship based Christianity is.
Well, first of all, it is exactly that: relationship based. If you don’t have a relationship with God, you’d want to step into it!
Secondly, becoming born again means becoming a new creation which means transitioning from a carnal existence to a spirit existence. It means your life is supposed to change!
Apparently we don’t teach this in Sunday school 😢 and yet it is the foundation we are supposed to build our faith on...
Remember that the Word teaches (1Cor 2:14) that the things of the spirit can’t be received by the flesh, so how are you supposed to see His promises manifest in your life if you are not yet positioned to receive them...?
We were supposed to be mature Christians by now, meaning we should already be healing the sick and raising the dead “in our stride” (see Hebrews 6 below), yet we are all just dabbling with Christianity, too cowardly to fully engage in the real deal...
Most of us are, in the words of Timothy 3:5, holding to a form of godliness yet denying it’s power (read the whole chapter for a proper wake-up call...)
However gracious He may be, a day will come when Jesus will gather His own to Himself, and those who say “Lord Lord” but did not truly walk with Him... will remain outside...
I’m saying this in love: If your life has not changed since your conversion and you are still living a carnal life, it is time for a wake-up call...
“Therefore let us get past the elementary stage in the teachings about the Christ, advancing on to maturity and perfection and spiritual completeness, [doing this] without laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of teaching about washings (ritual purifications), the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. [These are all important matters in which you should have been proficient long ago.] 3 And we will do this [that is, proceed to maturity], if God permits. — Hebrews 6:1-3 AMPLIFIED
