Sodom and Gomorrah

If you know Christ as your savior you need to spread the word of salvation to other people. Do you always have to spread the word through visitation. Its not the only way but visitation is the only way to get the word of salvation to people you wouldn't necessarily see. If you don't do anything nothing will be done; it's that simple.

MATTHEW 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

When you visit someones house are they always going to be nice to you. No not always, does that mean you need to keep Gods word to yourself. No

Should we go unto the world like the Lord wants us to or should we let it get so bad that we will be like Sodom and Gomorrah. It will effect you before long not necessarily like Sodom and Gomorrah but it will effect the peace you have in life. He did not give us choice just so we would choose to do nothing.

God does not want to punish you the only one that is going to punish you is yourself God gave us choice. The main choice is whether to follow Christ as a sacrifice for our sin or to not believe in Christ. You will end up destroying yourself if you don't depend on God. God will not step in if you haven't asked Him to. You have to choose to do the right thing yourself.

GENESIS 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

Why would God create us my guess is God knew what it would be like to have kids and the joy they bring. When your raising your kids/kid as God does us you will also see what God sees and the responsibility it takes.

Like our child we are never growing up their is always something in life we need guidance on. God sees far beyond what we are even able to understand so like your kids/kid you might never understand the reason for something in life you just have to obey.

GENESIS 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

Why was the people of Sodom and Gomorrah like they was. The main reason was because they didn't study God's law. The less you study His word the farther you will get away from God.

GENESIS 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

Here is a sample prayer if you're not saved today ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ's Name. Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Christ for your salvation.

The words themselves will not save you. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation.

�Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven?"

"Jesus Christ, with your help I place my trust in you for salvation, and I ask that you will forgive me of my sins. I thank you for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.�

Go tell a Christian church you have asked Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship and the study of the bible to be a great help as you grow as a Christian.

God loves us because His nature is LOVE. :hearts:



When we live with God, we want to share our faith and love :hearts:with other people.



If we do not share our faith and do NOT love other people:hearts: then there is something wrong with us spiritually.



And woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

1 Corinthians 9:16



16 For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because an obligation is placed on me. And woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
