This is not to shame you, it’s to wake you.
— Matthew 7:23 (NIV) 📖🎚️
“Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”

If you feel convicted reading this, that’s not judgment.
That’s grace.
He’s still giving you time to come closer.
This is not to shame you.
It’s to wake you.
Because the truth is, there’s no in-between.
You either walk in obedience,
or you walk away from Him.
Some disobey even when they know the truth.
Some avoid the truth altogether so they won’t have to change.
But the result is the same:
separation.
Not a break. Not a timeout.
An eternity apart from God.
Every second. Every minute. Every hour. Forever.
This isn’t to scare you.
It’s to save you.

In life, we often face two distinct paths: one of truth and obedience, and another leading to avoidance and separation. The Bible warns us of the heavy consequences that come from rejecting His teachings. As noted in James 4:17, knowing what is right yet choosing to disobey is a sin. Additionally, in 2 Thessalonians 2:10, we learn that choosing to reject the truth often leads to spiritual loss and suffering. Each path we choose leads to significant outcomes—separation from God is more than merely being distant; it's a state of suffering and despair. The permanence of such separation is illustrated vividly in Matthew 7:23, where those who depart from His teachings may hear, 'I never knew you.' This call to awareness is not intended to instill fear but rather to inspire an awakening to one's spiritual condition. Ultimately, the article encourages readers to examine their choices, recognize the importance of obedience, and embrace the grace offered through faith.
I continue asking the Holy Spirit to make me act according to His will. I have asked Him a lot, that His will be done and not mine or anyone else's. When you know His Spirit, you feel Him, right? Because He is divinity.
