The Burning Hatred of God

Only the upright will see God.

Oh, my religious friends, do not think we are saved for pleasure. We are saved for holiness. Only the upright will see God. If you go to church, if you pray, if you sing in the choir, if you lift your hands, if you preach, if you're religious, you will not see God.

If you give, you will not see God. If you go as a missionary to the darkest corner of the earth, you will not see God. If your theology is good and proper you will not see God. If your family is godly and saved, you will not see God.

God hates you and He will destroy you. Prepared for you are the flames of hell for eternity. There will be no relief. Your thirst will not be quenched. Your pastor will not save you. Your parents will not save you. Your good works will not save you. You will desperately want out of hell each and every moment, but the rest of God's creation will have nothing to do with you because you are nothing but a disgusting, sinful, oozing, vile creature unfit for life.

Unless you're upright.

Listen to what the Spirit of God says:
"The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked,
And the one who loves violence His soul hates.
Upon the wicked He will rain snares;
Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness;
The upright will behold His face."
Psalm 11:4-7

Examine yourselves. Make your calling and election sure.

In Christ,
