Dont Go Back to Your Sin, You May Die — Tim Conway

The Gospel Is Rarely Heard Clearly

Throughout all of history, most men do not hear a clear presentation of the Gospel. In all of history, most men miss heaven. You know it's true. There are people in this room that are going to perish.

God's Mercy in Revealing the Gospel

You know it's true. I'm saying this because look, if God has not only shown you all the kindnesses of creation, but He's in addition shown you the kindness to allow you to hear the Gospel and hear the truth and know that Jesus Christ died on that cross to save sinners just like you and me.

Biblical Examples of Sinners Who Were Saved

To save even the chief of sinners. Why would God want us to know that God has saved the chief of sinners? Why would God want us to know that He saved the thief on the cross? Why would God want us to specifically know that Mary Magdalene had seven demons?

You ever think about why these things are specifically told to us? They're told to us so that you might see how bad the people are that God saves. And if you've had this kindness, that God has not only given you all this light of creation, all the light of His kindness, but in light of all that, in addition to all that, on top of it, you've been allowed to hear the truth.

Flee to Christ While There Is Time

Come, flee to Him at once. Listen, I remember my stepdad. My stepdad came down to Texas. And I wanted him to hear the truth. And he sat under Pat Horner out at Community Baptist Church. I was out there then.

He came and he heard me preach. I forget if at a nursing home I know he heard me preach. Possibly at Floresville. I don't remember that. But he was able to sit under the preaching several times. I think I had evangelized my dad.

I had spoke to my dad. But I think that was the most truth he ever got in his life. I know that was the first time he ever sat under a good and solid sermon that had truth in it. That was actually preached by one of God's messengers.

He refused it. Even when I was speaking at the nursing home, he was rebelling against it. He was rejecting it. And he no more than went back to Michigan. He got cancer. He had a massive heart attack. It was amazing.

He had a massive heart attack. Then he had a stroke. Then he got cancer. Then he died. And brethren, folks, when you hear the truth, there's a real hell out there. And Jesus, by way of His ambassadors, is telling you, escape that place at all costs.

What will you give in exchange for your soul? You'll give everything. Why will you play? Look, don't wait until the flames overflow you to realize, okay, okay, now I'll give everything in exchange for it.

Don't wait until then. It's too late. He speaks to you now while you have life. Listen, do not leave this place tonight if you are lost and run back to your sin. It is suicidal. Don't do it. You've heard the truth.

The Danger of Hardening Against Truth

Oftentimes when people hear the truth and they harden themselves, God will see to it that they get hardened. And many times when you harden yourself against the truth, it's all over. You won't get to hear it again.

You'll be like my stepdad. The next thing, you'll be in the grave. I don't remember who it was. They told the story about the two young men. They had girlfriends that went to church. Their parents made them go to church.

Two guys showed up to get the girls, and the preacher saw them come in. They stood there in the back waiting for the service to get over. He made a beeline to them and went back and began to talk to them.

They rejected and they refused. And one of those young men died right away after that. We sought to proclaim truth to a prostitute who came and lived with us, and she rejected it and died after that. It was a man that joined our church.

He was a heroin addict, and he went back to his heroin after he'd heard the truth. And God took his life. There was a young man. He joined this church. Exposed to a lot of truth. He went back to his coke.

God took his life. There was a prostitute by the name of Zebedee. She was exposed to the truth in this church in our early days. God took her life. There was a man from one of the local churches that had us come preach, and he tried to pull a scam on us.

But we preached truth to him. He rejected it. God took his life. He was young. Brethren, folks, do not go out the door tonight and go back to your sin. This could very well be from God that it's your last time.

Hell and the Loss of the Soul

It's it. It's over. It's done. And what's been described, you may in unbelief go back to your sin right now, but you will believe it one day. The sad thing is, it's going to take you being plunged into it to realize how valuable your soul was.

How bad your sin was. How foolish you are to reject. Do you realize the place was made for the devil and his angels, and they don't get any chance. They don't get the opportunity to repent. Can you imagine those demons in hell screaming at you?

You had the truth set before you. You had the opportunity. You had the opportunity we never had. You had the opportunity to be in heaven and to have Christ and to walk with God and to live forever. And you chose drugs, alcohol, sex, party and money, greed, sports, fame, and just want to do life your own way.

The Final Call to Repentance

I don't want to feed any hungry people. I want to live for me. Just do it your way. You're a fool if that's what you would do. Listen, there are people in here that love their sin. I'm telling you, do not go out the door without crying out to the Lord, confessing your sin, calling on Him to save you from it.

Don't go! There's a good possibility you will never come back again. Some of you. Amen. And we're dismissed.
