Not All Who Profess to Follow Jesus Belong to Jesus

Matthew 15:8
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mat 15:8  这百姓用嘴唇尊敬我,心却远离我;

Titus 1:16
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Tit 1:16  他们说是认识神,行事却和他相背,本是可憎恶的,是悖逆的,在各样善事上是可废弃的。

Ezekiel 33:31
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
Eze 33:31  他们来到你这里如同民来聚会,坐在你面前彷佛是我的民。他们听你的话却不去行;因为他们的口多显爱情,心却追随财利。

Hebrews 6:4
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Heb 6:5  And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Heb 6:6  If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Heb 6:4  论到那些已经蒙了光照、尝过天恩的滋味、又於圣灵有分,
Heb 6:5  并尝过神善道的滋味、觉悟来世权能的人,
Heb 6:6  若是离弃道理,就不能叫他们从新懊悔了。因为他们把神的儿子重钉十字架,明明的羞辱他。

Hebrews 10:26
For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:26  因为我们得知真道以後,若故意犯罪,赎罪的祭就再没有了; 

 

I preach and pray on this and diligently practise myself not to go against God's grace. On the contrary, I constantly warn myself and others of these verses so that I can preach the True Grace, and love truly, so that I shall be victorious over the false grace which lurks among my brothers and sisters, a temptation of tardiness, indolence and irresponsibility.  That it may not be a temptation I be led into.
