Today my Bible study was on 1st Corinthians 6 which has two tough verses:
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
This passage is not about what we did in the past, it is about what is currently happening and what could happen in the future.
Why does the Bible say such harsh things? It may be because God wants to make it perfectly clear that there is no middle ground. Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
Why does God want no middle ground? I think it is because we are created to have a purpose. If we spend our time sinning we won't have time to fulfill it.
Today, set a goal to find your purpose. I always recommend praying, “Father, help me to turn from lust, and to care about souls.” I say this because we need to be alive to overcome lust. Sin kills us. When we repent and start to focus on doing good works we become alive. When we start to be in God's will a fire is started.
Use these tough verses to kindle that fire. I never found joy until I found my purpose. Consider making it one of your top priorities.
