For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore, do not be partners with them. Ephesians 5:5-7 NIV

Paul warns us that those who are immoral, impure, or greedy shall have no place in the kingdom of God. These acts are self-seeking, which is not how a true Christian acts.

God is love. God is Holy. God is righteous and pure. If we wish to spend eternity in His presence, we must be the same in our deeds. We cannot do this of our own will. We need the guidance of the Holy Spirit, whom the Heavenly Father provides to those who believe in His Son.

There are many who are deceivers. They can easily lead astray one who is not firmly rooted in the Lord. They provide empty words and empty promises. These deceivers provide what is of this world, all of which contain no eternal value.

Deliberate disobedience to a parent leads to discipline. Should one not expect as such from a loving God, who is Father to us all? It is better to be disciplined by God rather than face an eternity banned from His presence.

Strive in all you do to be Christlike. Seek forgiveness when you fail, and always ask for guidance from Him.
