Devotion (The Trumpeter):
It is according to your works

Revelation 2:23 KJV
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works

As a Christian, if you end up in hell it will be because you didn’t listen to Jesus but the words of men who claimed to be speaking for Jesus. It is important you listen to the very words of the Lord Himself. There are all kinds of teachings, preaching and doctrines going around the church which sound nice but arent the truth.
Salvation and grace don’t mean that the works and deeds of the Christian no longer matter. You were saved to live right. Salvation doesn’t only mean to be saved from the consequences of sin but also the very act of sin itself. Grace doesn’t mean live anyhow and end up in God’s Kingdom because Jesus paid
for your sins. In the true sense of the teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Lord Jesus died for the sinner and not the Christian. The Christian is what the sinner becomes after receiving the salvation of the Lord Jesus. This is why the Christian is a new breed, a new creature expected to live like how Jesus lived Righteousness by faith doesn’t mean your deeds no longer matter. Such a teaching is from hell. The things of Christ are very simple, don’t let people deceive you with big grammar.

Paul says,
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ……2 Corinthians 11:3KJV”
James says, “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?……James 2:20KJV”

The Christian faith without corresponding works is empty and vain and any Pastor who preaches so is equally vain and empty Most especially, the Lord Jesus directly to spoke to the church and said,
“And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my
servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works…..Revelation 2:18-23KJV”

He told the church, not unbelievers, not the world but Christians, “I will give unto every one of you according to your works”. Jesus Himself sees works and deeds to be very important
There are those preachers who have told the church that when they sin they are automatically forgiven. They have termed it automatic forgiveness but in the oracles of the Lord Jesus to the seven churches of Asia Minor, He said repeatedly to the church “ Except you repent”. One of such is “Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds”. Are you a Christian and are committing adultery and fornication? Except you repent, you will end up in hell. Don’t be deceived” It is according to your deeds.

God bless you!
