“Because I have called, and ye have refused…” Proverbs 1:24a. Many are hearing God’s Word and are not answering, not responding. This is too close to the edge of: “Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer.” Proverbs 1:28a.
Many say there are others ways, other truths, other lives that we should regard, rather than just believe in Jesus only. But this is too close to the edge of perishing because, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6.
Many religions deny that a believer now has eternal life. They say you can only have eternal life in prospect. But this is too close to the edge. “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” 1 John 5:10-12. To not believe God’s record is too close to the edge. To call God a liar, is too close to the edge. To not have eternal life, is too close to the edge.
There are some who say they do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Divine, only begotten Son of God. But this is too close to the edge. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:1-3,14. “…they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:23b. “…for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” John 8:24. THIS IS TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE!
There are some who say they do not believe that the Bible is God’s infallible, inspired Word. This is too close to the edge. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16. “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:20-21. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35. The miraculous work of having God’s Word delivered and preserved in written form is the work of the Holy Ghost. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is unpardonable–see Matthew 12:31. THIS IS TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE! REPENT OR PERISH!
