Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?” Then I will tell them plainly, "I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” - Jesus (Matt. 7:21-23) Over 85% of Americans believe in God and think they are going to go to Heaven when they die. Is this confidence warranted? Given the moral condition of our culture and Jesus’s stern warnings about being ill-prepared for his coming, I don't think so. From a biblical perspective, it seems many people are walking around with a false assurance of salvation. Avoiding that is what this series is about. In it we walk through ten characteristics of people who are ill prepared to face eternity.

One of the devil’s most effective attacks involves tempting us to despair by telling us that the path we are on is leading to catastrophe. Naturally, he uses this lie at those times when the future looks bleak: when roadblocks seem insurmountable and the struggle too hard. These are critical moments in life as they force us to decide, “Are we going to live in faith and do what we know God wants us to do, even in the face of much apparent trouble and danger – or not?” Satan comes and whispers in our ear one of his most powerful lies: “God is not trustworthy. Don’t do it.” In this chapter we will learn how to defeat that lie.
