Lovers of pleasures or Lovers of God?
To Love God is to love Jesus Christ is to live
in hope and faith for Salvation: Eternal Life (Matthew 25:31-34) (John 3:16) (Revelation
2:11).
To love pleasures is to love
the things of this world which will lead to the Second Death: Everlasting Punishment
(Mathew 25:41-46) (Revelation 20:12–15).
“This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers
of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying
the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:1–5).
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of
those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved
are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light”
(Ephesians 6:9–13).
“Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”
(Matthew 5:16).
“Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts:
for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh” (James 5:8).
“But of the times and the seasons, brethren,
ye have no need that I write unto you” (1 Thessalonians 5:1).
“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and
the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD
shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as
the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call” (Joel
2:31-32).
“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;
but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they
that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be
sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the
hope of salvation” (1 Thessalonians 5:6-8).
“Watch
ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or
at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he
find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch” (Mark
13:35-37).
