In the spirit of David, I’d go kill men, women, and children: I’d slay the Philistines where they stand for their abominations against God, but that is not the gospel. Our Lord rebuked James and John, when they sought to call fire down from heaven [Luke 9:55].

I’m listening to a false prophet out my window. He may be sincere, as he calls fire down upon his enemies, using Romans 9:13 as the text, but that is not what the text teaches! “For it is written, Jacob have I love, but Esau have I hated.” It teaches that we’ve obtained mercy, being chosen from the foundation of the world, and if we’ve obtained mercy, the entire new testament teaches us to be merciful [Matt 5]. I’m to love people because I’m spared.

This is the issue: Sincerity DOES NOT MATTER. It doesn’t matter if you believe a false gospel with all your heart. John says, “Anyone who does not remain in Christ’s teaching but goes beyond it, does not have God… If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home [church], and don’t say, ‘Godspeed’, to him [2 John 1:9-10].” We are not to play games with false religion! We are not to encourage them and say, “It’s OK. You trust Jesus according to the light you’ve been given, and you are so sincere.” It doesn’t matter: We must get them the truth.

This is my burden, and I’m sure it is yours, if you know the gospel - that men worship Him in truth, believe the truth, and live by the truth. It was surely the burden of the Apostles and our Lord Jesus, who said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
