下面的书信是写给定期参加教会聚会、按时捐出自己的十分之一奉献的人。值得注意的是，他们陷入了撒旦的一个极大谎言，就是按时去教会、讲得都是宗教的好话、随从一切宗教传统，相信自己是真基督徒、相信自己得救了。然而，等到他们生命结束时，才发现自己其实没有真正得救。
我对你用“我相信”这个词，感到非常担忧。用“我相信”这个词，是因为撒旦欺骗人们，让他们在认知中相信自己是真的服从上帝。所以请你虔诚地默想下面的章节，并且诚恳地求问上帝：“主啊，我是否真的完全服从您的命令？”
1. 在每一个真基督徒的生命里，都会有崭新开始的那一刻，就是生命彻底地改变，圣经称之为重生。
2. 圣经没有教导，当我们来到基督的跟前，我们就没有罪了。而是在祂的跟前，我们会渴望持守祂的命令，渴望通过遵行祂的旨意而得蒙祂的悦纳。
3. 所有上帝的真儿女，都会受到上帝的管教。
4. 每个真基督徒都被赐予圣灵，在重生的生命中帮助他们，不管怎样基督徒还是有这世上的肉体。所以在每一个基督徒里面，都有肉体与圣灵的相争。我们受到引诱，生活随从属世的情欲而抵挡圣灵，就是抵挡按照上帝的话语生活，抵挡服从祂的旨意。
5. 凡主耶稣的真信徒就不明知故犯，这不要与犯罪混淆。罪是一个行动，就是违背上帝的旨意。我们作为基督徒也会多次犯罪，而实际上不知道这是罪。但是，明知故犯的行为是不同的。明知故犯是懂得上帝的旨意却主动抵挡，没有悔改的意愿或行动。
Examine yourselves, whether you are a true follower of JESUS CHRIST . . . .
The following letter was written to a person who attends a church regularly. Pay his tithe promptly. The concern is that they may have fallen into one of Satan's greatest deceptions: going to church, saying all the right words, following all the right traditions, truly believing that they are Christians and at the end of their life they will be found not to be truly saved.
Let’s look at what our LORD JESUS said to those who though they are saved:
Luke 6: (NIV)JESUS said in verse 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”And “A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?" says the LORD Almighty. "It is you priests (pastors) who show contempt for my name…..”（Malachi 1:6） Matthew 7: (NIV)22 Many will say to ME on that day (Judgement day), ‘LORD, LORD, did we not prophesy in YOUR name and in YOUR name drive out demons and in YOUR name perform many miracles?’23 Then I (JESUS) will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from ME, you evildoers!’ Luke 13: (NIV)25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out.29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of GOD. This may be the person who sits next to you in the pew. Please help them by sharing this truth, as CHRIST has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
``And all things are of GOD,
who hath reconciled us to HIMSELF by JESUS CHRIST,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that GOD was in CHRIST, reconciling the world unto HIMSELF,
not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation .''
2 Corinthians 5:18,19
Dear Friend, brothers and sisters
I very much enjoyed spending time sharing with you for the past months. I pray that you have and will continue to consider the things we shared.
I am very concerned about your use of the term “I believe''. This word, believe, can be used by Satan to deceive people in their understanding of where they truly stand with GOD. Please prayerfully consider the following verses and ask GOD earnestly, ``Where do I stand with YOU LORD?''.
Please consider what GOD's WORD says about ``believe'':
``For GOD so loved the world,
that he gave HIS only begotten SON,
that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish,
but have everlasting life.''
John 3:16
``Thou believest that there is one GOD;
thou doest well:
the devils also believe, and tremble.''
James 2:19
``Many will say to ME in that day, LORD, LORD,
have we not prophesied in THYname?
and in THY name have cast out devils?
and in THY name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from ME, ye that work iniquity.''
Matthew 7:22-23
Surely these men believed in GOD and think that he is a Christian but sadly he now is spending eternity separated from GOD. Satan has deceived and confused many people about what “believing” and “being a Christian” truly means.
“Not every one that saith unto ME, LORD, LORD,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;''
Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says, ``I am a Christian'' will enter the kingdom of heaven. Not everyone who says, ``I believe in GOD'' will enter the kingdom of heaven.
“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith;test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?” 2 Corinthians 13:5
GOD has given us, through HIS WORD, evidence of true faith. By using GOD's WORD, as a whole, we can test our faith to see if we are true believers or if we are being deceived.
(The following verses explain some of the evidence of a true salvation in JESUS CHRIST.)
1. In every true believer's life there is a time of new beginning, a time at which your life is changed. The Bible calls this being born again.
``Therefore if any man be in CHRIST,
he is a new creature:
old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.''
2 Corinthians 5:17
``JESUS answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of GOD.''
John 3:3
Is there a time in your life when you were changed?
2. The Bible does not teach us that when we come to CHRIST we will be without sin. However we will desire to keep HIS commandments. We will desire to please HIM by doing HIS will.
``And hereby we do know that we know HIM,
if we keep HIS commandments.
He that saith, I know HIM,
and keepeth not HIS commandments,
is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoso keepethHISWORD,
in him verily is the love of GOD perfected:
hereby know we that we are in HIM.''
1 John 2:3-5
Do you have a desire to obey HIM?
3. All true children of GOD will receive discipline from GOD.
``For whom the LORDlovethHEchasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom HEreceiveth.
If ye endure chastening,
GODdealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers,
then are ye bastards, and not sons.''
Hebrews 12:6-8
Can you remember a time in your life
where GOD has disciplined you for a specific sin?
4. Every true believer is given the HOLY SPIRIT to help them in this life. However he also has a flesh that is of this world. So in every believer there is a struggle between the two. We are tempted between living like the world versus the SPIRIT's desire that we live according to the WORD of GOD, obeying HIS will.
``This I say then, Walk in the SPIRIT,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
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.''
Galatians 5:16-17
Is this struggle in you?
5. No true believer of JESUS practices sin. This is not to be confused with sinning. Sin is an action that is contrary to GOD's will. As believers we sin many times and are not even aware of it. But the act of practicing sin is different. It is having a knowledge of GOD's will and actively defying it with no intention or action to change.
``Whosoever is born of GOD doth not commit sin;
for HIS seed remaineth in him:
and he cannot sin,
because he is born of GOD.''
1 John 3:9
“If we say that we have no sin,
we deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us.”
1 John 1:8
Are you practicing sin?
So in summary we must be honest with ourselves. We must truly look into our own heart and ask ourselves:
* Is there a time in my life when I became a new creature?
* Do I desire to obey GOD and do HIS will?
* Can I remember a time in my life when GOD has disciplined me for a specific sin?
* Do I struggle with my flesh to obey GOD's WORD?
* Am I practicing sin?
Welook forward to share GOD’s WORD with you again soon.
