Some people are sinners and they know it; some are ashamed of it, and some are not. Some people are sinners and they do not know it, because they are blinded by the "doctrines and commandments of men." These people generally belong to some denomination (founded by man), and are wearing some unscriptural or human name. They think they are right, because their relatives or friends belong to this church, and they have never investigated the Bible for themselves.

Other people are sinners, because they are hypocrites —"Wolves in sheep’s clothing." "They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him." Thus, they are causing many people to die in sin unsaved.

Some people have obeyed the right gospel and become members of the right church, but they are sinners, because they have drifted back into the world of sin. These people are enemies of Christ, because they have "turned from the holy commandment delivered unto them," and their life and influence are against the cause of the Saviour.

Some people are Christians, because they have been taught of Christ; they have believed in Him; they have been made sorry for their sins and turned away from them (repented); they have confessed with the mouth, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God" (Acts 8; Rom. 10:9. 10); they have "obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine" (Rom. 6:17, 18), or were ‘‘baptized in the name of Christ for the remission of their sins" (Acts 2:38), and thus, the "Lord has added them to His church" (Acts 2:41); they are wearing that God given name "Christian" (I Pet. 4:16), because they have been married to Christ. Furthermore, these people read the Bible daily to know what the Lord wants them to do; their lives are fashioned like unto that of Christ—they follow Him; they meet every Lord’s day to worship Him in His own appointed way; they want to reach Heaven.

Regardless of who you are, never let anything or anybody keep you from Jesus Christ and His kingdom. Read the Bible daily and take heed to its teaching. It will take you home to Heaven.
