Are We Still Chasing Christian Fame, and Christian Success?

Christians talk a lot about how important it is not to gain the world and lose your soul. We generally know that its better not to chase success, riches, and fame in sin – then go to hell.

Mark 8:36
[36]For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

This is good, BUT we need to gain a better understanding of why its ALSO very important not to chase CHRISTIAN success, CHRISTIAN riches, and CHRISTIAN fame at the expense of our obedience to the Commandments of God the Father and Christ the Son.

IT’S NOT WORTH IT!

IT’S NOT WORTH IT to win souls for Christ without obeying Christ! Set your life in order and keep God’s Commandments first!

1 Corinthians 9:27
27]But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF SHOULD BE A CASTAWAY.

IT’S NOT WORTH IT to invest and travel across the earth to win souls and watch those souls follow you into hell because of your disobedience!

Matthew 23:15
[15]Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him TWOFOLD MORE THE CHILD OF HELL THAN YOURSELVES.

IT’S NOT WORTH IT to cast out devils in the name of Jesus, pack stadiums of worshippers, and be influential for Jesus Christ if you don’t even keep the 10 Commandments of His Father in Heaven! He literally explained this to us:

Matthew 7:21-23
[21]Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in heaven.
[22]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23]And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, ye that work iniquity.

This is the last days… things are getting pretty serious.

Hypocritical Christianity, Rebellious Christianity, Political Christianity, Pushy Christianity, Entertainment based Christianity all expired last year.

It’s done. It’s over. You can’t even fake it anymore.

As true Disciples of Christ, we must check ourselves, examine ourselves, and make sure we are qualified to be counted with the Patient saints that keep both the Commandments of God AND the Faith of Jesus.

This is where the power of the Kingdom of God will start to bear lasting fruit.

Revelation 14:12
[12]Here is the Patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the Faith of Jesus.
