”Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarrelling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?“ 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 (NIV)
Inside the church, people stopped learning how to be holy and righteous, when they come to listen to the preaching and make changes in their behaviours; but come there to display their possessions and have quarrel over positions in the organisation or just come and gossip about everyone including the pastors and leaders, finding faults and criticising out of jealousy. Why? Because they still behave like mere human beings, fleshly minded, not knowing and understanding the spiritual side of their life. These are the ones who can be easily deceived by wrong doctrines and false signs and wonders Satan is going to do in these last days. Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22(NIV); Revelation 16:13-14(NIV)
”The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.“ 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 (NIV)
This way, if Christians continue walking in the flesh as the world do, then the Lord God Himself will send a powerful false belief and they will accept the lie, because they refused to love the truth about the gospel to get saved. Coming this far close to the Lord and start attending church and doing all the rituals, yet keep living worldly life is very sad and dangerous. It is clearly given these will perish, will be condemned because they did not believe the truth, but have delighted in wickedness. God loves all, but He never tolerates lie and lawlessness, because lawlessness is sin and God got to punish them if no repentance or changing for the better is happening. Luke 11:29-32(NIV)
”“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”“ Luke 11:23, 27-28 (NIV)
