The Gospel contemplates every descendant of Adam as a fallen, polluted, hell-deserving and helpless sinner. The grace which the Gospel publishes is his only hope. All stand before God convicted as transgressors of His holy law, as guilty and condemned criminals, who are not merely awaiting sentence, but the execution of sentence already passed upon them (John 3:18; Rom. 3:19). To complain against the partiality of grace is suicidal. If the sinner insists upon bare justice, then the Lake of Fire must be his eternal portion. His only hope lies in bowing to the sentence which Divine justice has passed upon him, owning the absolute righteousness of it, casting himself on the mercy of God, and stretching forth empty hands to avail himself of the grace of God now made known to him in the Gospel.

SIGNS OF TRUE and FALSE PROPHETS
extracts by 'AgapEkind'

The time has come when men cannot endure sound doctrine.
Men are heaping up for themselves teachers that say what they
like to hear because of itchy ears. False prophets have risen to
deceive many... Be careful. Be watchful. Open your eyes.

THE TRAP OF a FALSE PROPHET

False prophets are very gifted, but do not bear the fruit of Christ.
False prophets flatter a lot, they say all the things you want to hear.
False prophets boast in the fact that they do not rebuke.
They will deceive you with the message of Love; they will lead
you away from the message of repentance.
False prophets will lead you away from preparation for the coming King.
False Prophets will say peace, peace when there is no peace.
Don´t be deceived by prophets who preach what you like or want to hear.

GOD's TRUE PROPHETS

God´s true prophets are marked by these three common things
"Rebuke, Reprove and Exalt".
They encourage, comfort and edify according to the will of the Lord
They will "mourn over sin"; they will carry the burden... God´s
prophets should not be able to stand sin... hence the need to
"rebuke or reprove"
Yet they are peaceful & merciful.
After a prophet is done releasing the burden, they can almost
immediately (within a matter of minutes) put on another spirit
(of joy, gentleness and mercy).
They hunger and thirst for righteousness, God´s true Prophets
must, at one point or another, preach holiness.
The Prophet´s level of purity (sanctity) or the heaviness of the
burden laid on him will likely contribute to how the prophet
preaches the message of holiness or rebukes sin.
They are marked by persecution because of the message they preach.
They are poor in spirit; after receiving messages and mysteries
from God, they must remain humble in spirit.
They have no undivided loyalties (with their master, Jesus Christ).
They bear the Character of God.
THE CRUX OF THEIR MESSAGE will LEAD PEOPLE to RUN TO GOD!!
