FROM CHURCH TO HELL FIRE
What happened to Ananias and Saphira should serve as a good lesson to every child of God. Christians have developed the tendency of grading or classifying sins into various categories. There is this erroneous belief that some sins are more sinful than others and the lighter ones can be overlooked by God. Wheather it is the sin of adultery or fornication, stealing or murder, lying or un forgiveness, God hates sin with a perfect hatred. Sin is sin before God and should be resisted with all seriousness. The sin of this couple was not stinginess; neither was it holding back part of the money. They had the right to keep back part of it for their own use because the money belonged to them. But they did not admit that they kept back some. They lied to God and his people. They wanted to make themselves appear more generous they really were. They were dishonest. Theirs was a premeditated act and not a slip.
Lying Is so prevalent in our society that it has come to be regarded as normal or convenient way of getting out of a difficult situation. People talk of political lie, business lie, social lie, white lie, etc. which ever coloration it is given, a lie is a leading, and all liars back stabbed, back bitters etc are bound for hell fire. It is better to tell the truth and receive punishment than to tell a lie and go free. Ananias and his wife dropped dead in the church for their sin of lying. The various events that are recorded in the Bible are for our benefit to warn us who live at the tine when this age is drawing to a close (1COR.10:11). Be warned.
Be love Heaven is real hell is real the choice is yours.
