An evangelical sermon warning that a single prayer or altar visit doesn't guarantee salvation. The speaker cites Matthew 7 to argue that God demands genuine repentance and the abandonment of habitual sins, and will reject those who claim faith while continuing sexual immorality or adultery.
Chapters
You think because you prayed a prayer or you came to an altar, you could just say, ask the Lord into your heart, and then live any way that you want? No, family, the devil is a liar. He said when you recognize in your life habitual— watch this word— willful practices of sin, the Lord looks at you and says, son, daughter, you better watch, cut it off, you better stop it, for you're gonna end up back in Matthew 7. Lord, they came to me and said, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? And did we not serve on a team? And did we not sing on a platform? Did we not preach sermons? And he's gonna say, depart from me, you worker of iniquity. You love sin, I never knew you. Y'all worried about the atheists? I'm worried about you. You more deceived than they are. At least they know they don't believe in God, but you got a false assurance while you claiming Christ and living in sin. Ain't nobody game work go to hell over. His stroke ain't that nice. Sexual immorality, homosexuality, adultery, all of the things we practice, the Lord says when you see them in your life, cut them off.
