Marked Out For This Condemnation

"Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were MARKED OUT for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God in to lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgement of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immortality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." (Jude v.3-7)

"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. AND THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION, that the light has entered into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone who practices evil (rather than righteousness) hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
(John 3:18-21)

"This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:5-7)

"And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, 'These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: '''I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen those things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your WORKS perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed with white garments, and I will NOT BLOT OUT his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."(Revelation 3:1-5)

"For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his PART from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." (Revelation 22:18,19)

Don't add, and the plagues will not be added. Don't take away, and your part will not be taken. Don't turn the grace of our God into the wicked ignorance of unbelief and you will not be marked out.
