While all of the verses in this set of graphics are discussing the ancient, stubborn, rebellious Israelites who repeatedly backslid against the Lord, and fell into deep apostasy, they could just as easily be talking about modern America, or any other modern nation which has heard the Gospel, and yet continues in rebellion against the Lord and His holy Word. Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!
“But They Refused to Listen” KJV Bible Verse List:
“So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, KJV
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5, KJV
For when ye ought to be teachers,
At one time the Apostle Paul said,
Although it’s rather disappointing,
Like babies we treat you instead.
Dull of hearing Paul had told them,
They weren’t ready for strong meat,
Their spiritual growth was stunted,
So Paul just gave them milk to eat.
Today there are likewise Christians,
Who don’t seem to grow in the Lord,
They are spoon-fed by their pastor,
Never learning how to use a sword.
Now perhaps they believe in Jesus,
And that of course is good and well,
But being saved is just a beginning,
About Jesus others we need to tell.
If our own Salvation is all we’re after,
Then sadly we have missed the goal,
God looks for diligent, hard workers,
Who want to witness and win a soul.
Just sitting in a pew year after year,
Is not developing our faith all that far,
But should we help win folks to Jesus,
Then we’ll shine like the brightest star.
