1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
I was listening to a sermon yesterday and the pastor explained that even if you are saved, you will not inherit the kingdom if you participate in these activities. I know my heart belongs to Jesus and He is my Savior but I still struggle and fall on a daily basis, I feel terrible and pray for strength and forgiveness but somethings I keep doing. Now I'm afraid I'll be left behind.
Do you think the pastor was referring to people who call themselves Christians but make excuses on their behaviors and don't see the err of their ways, for example a person who calls themselves a Christians but is openly homosexual, or someone who cheats on their spouse and and shows no remorse? Like he says you can't be a christian bank robber!
Thanks,
