Many are teaching by their deeds if not their words, that we gather in buildings made by hands to be pleased, soothed, and confirmed in sin. They bid men and women to bring others into these halls, not that they might die to self, but that they might fit in with the ways of the world. Yet this is not the gospel handed down for all the saints.
The word of God is not given for amusement, nor to make the sinner safe in his rebellion. It is a sword, sharp and dividing, to cut the heart and bring the proud low before the throne of God through Jesus the Messiah. It calls us to repentance, that the Spirit may dwell richly in us, shaping us into holy vessels. Then, and only then, will we taste the true peace and joy that come from God, not from the world. The real party, the true celebration, will be in Heaven!🙏🏽🕊
Matthew 7:16-23, "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 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. 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? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”

Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.
For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

In John 16, Jesus speaks to His disciples with tender honesty, preparing them for the trials ahead. He tells them these things “so that you will not be caused to stumble” , verse 1. They will face rejection and persecution, even from those who think they are offering service to God, because such people do not truly know the Father nor the Son Verses 2–3.
Jesus explains that His departure is necessary. “It is to your advantage that I go away” verse 7, because only then will the the Comforter, Advocate come. The Spirit will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment.
He promises the Spirit of truth will guide them into “all truth” verse 13, speaking only what He hears from the Father and revealing the things to come. This Spirit will glorify Christ by taking from what is His and making it known to the disciples verses 14–15.
Jesus also speaks of their sorrow turning to joy. Like a woman in labor, their grief will be intense, but the birth of new life will bring unshakable gladness. When He sees them again, no one will take away their joy verses 20–22.
He assures them that in His name they may now ask the Father directly, and they will receive so their joy may be full verse 24.
The chapter closes with a profound promise: “In the world you have tribulation; but take heart, I have overcome the world” verse 33.
John 16 reveals the tender yet unshakable hope Jesus gives: warning of trials, promising the Spirit, and assuring ultimate victory through Him.
