So many millions of nominal Christians!

"Not everyone who says to me, 'LORD, LORD,'
will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only
he who does the will of my FATHER who is
in Heaven."Matthew 7:21
"Holding to the form of godliness but
denying its power." 2 Timothy 3:5
Never have there been so many
millions of nominal Christians
as there are today--
and never has there been such
a small percentage of real believers.
Never has Christendom been so crowded
with those who have a form of godliness,
but who are strangers to its transforming
power. We seriously doubt whether there
has ever been a time in the history of
this Christian era when there were
such multitudes of deceived souls
within the churches, who truly believe
that all is well with their souls, when
in fact the wrath of GOD abides on them!
It is not that those empty professors
who call themselves Christians are all
conscious hypocrites, rather are they
deceived souls; and the tragic thing
is that in most churches there is nothing
in the preaching which is at all calculated
to un-deceive them; instead, there is only
that which bolsters them up in their delusion!
There is a large class in Christendom
today who are satisfied with a bare
profession. They have heard some
of the fundamentals of the Christian
faith, and have given an intellectual
assent thereto, and they mistake that
for a saving knowledge of the Truth.
Their minds are instructed--
but their hearts are not reached,
nor their lives transformed!
They are still worldly in their
affections and ways. There is . . .
no real subjection to GOD,
no holiness of walk,
no fruit to CHRIST'S glory.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide
is the gate and broad is the road that leads
to destruction, and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and L
Matthew 7:13-14
