The three choices presented to you in the headline of this blog are really quite simple to understand. You are either in God’s Camp, or you are not. When you are with God, He will guide you through His Precious Holy Spirit, and while bad things may still happen to you, you will be assured that everything will be okay in the end. You are assured of your Salvation and you will have Eternal Life with our LORD, no matter what happens to you. You could get terminal cancer; you could be accosted and killed in a dark alley by an evil perpetrator; you could die in a plane crash; you could die in a car crash; you get the picture. But none of that will matter if you believe in Jesus Christ, and our Blessed LORD has regenerated your heart. If these two things are true, you will go to Heaven, no matter what.

If you are not in God’s camp, and you are relying on man’s wisdom, then you will be lost until you come to faith in our LORD Jesus Christ. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, you can know, understand and believe the Gospel of Jesus all you want, but if your heart is not regenerated by God, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God. However, God is infinitely merciful, and if you believe the Gospel, He will cause you to believe in Christ; in other words, He will save you because He is not willing that anyone should perish. So, while there are many people in the world who know and understand the Gospel and are not saved, if you sincere in believing the Gospel and you truly desire salvation, God will grant it to you, not because of anything you did but because of everything He did in sending His Son Jesus to die for you, thus reconciling you to Him.

There is a third group of people in the world, those who are most definitely not with God, but in fact, have sided with the enemy of our souls. These people are hopelessly lost. They are the narcissists of the world, the psychopaths, the evil ones, those who take pleasure in doing all sorts of harm. They will never turn to God because they hate God, and they have long decided that they will follow the devil into the fires of Hell. There is nothing that we who are saved can do for these demonic people. The best we can do is stay away from them and let them self-destruct because self-destruct they will, mark my words.

The enemy of our souls is on a collision course with Christ our KING. Our LORD and Savior is returning (see Revelation 19:11-16), and when He comes, the Scriptures declare that He will destroy his enemies with the Sword in His mouth, which is the Word of God. The enemies of God will not stand a chance against Christ when He appears. He will lead His Army into battle. And that is the neat thing about Christ. He will not hang back and conduct the battle from the safety of a ready room or His ivory tower. No, He will be at the front of the His Army, leading the fight. He will have no fear because no one can touch Him, for God Himself will protect Him. Amen and Amen.

So, if you are not in the camp of the enemy, take great comfort because our Precious Holy Spirit has revealed to me that none of the devil’s children can read this blog. So, guess what, if you are reading this blog, then our LORD has chosen you as one of His own. You may not have faith in Christ, yet; you may not be born again, yet; but if you are reading this blog, you will one day come to faith in our LORD, and you will join us in the wonderful camp of our LORD Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen and Amen.
