"What Can Man Hide Before God? Can They Hide Their Sins? 

People never talk about their shameful sins, even if they talk about everything else under the sun. Instinctively hiding sins like that is also a sin. Lying to others and deceiving one’s own conscience are revealed eventually before God. Our Lord knows everything. If we read Luke 12:4, our Lord said, “And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.” What does this mean? It means that all people can do to others is just killing their bodies. There is nothing else they can do after that. What can be done to someone who is already dead? Sending a person to hell is something man can never do. 

However, in Luke 12:5, our Lord said, “But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!” The Lord is saying that we must fear God who will judge our souls. That is right. People must fear God. God clearly exists, even though we can’t see Him with our eyes. He thrusts the souls of people who have not received the remission of sins and those who do not obey His Word of Truth into the endless fires of hell. This is the reason we should fear God. We must know that there will be His awful judgment for the sinners. We must also know that God made hell and sends people there and that we are people who can’t help but go to hell if He sends us, and we must fear Him. That is the only reason we should fear Him.

But there are people who don’t fear God. People who don’t fear Him absolutely go to hell when they die, even if they are as daring as a lion while they are alive. You have to think about it carefully. Most people dare not to fear God even while knowing they will go to hell because they have sin. Therefore, all people must fear God.

People who haven’t received the remission of sins cannot help but fear God. So, a common trait of people who haven’t received the remission of sins is that they try to hide their sins. But if they are people who truly fear God, they must receive the remission of their sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. There are people around us who try hard in order to receive the cleansing of their sins. They have to properly receive the remission of sins through God. People must try hard their whole lives to receive the remission of sins. If there is one thing people must exert their strength on until they go before the Lord, it is to receive the remission of sins. 

People who don’t want to receive the remission of sins and just try to enjoy the world day in and day out are fools. Who else are fools other than the people who don’t even know they are going to hell or don’t try to resolve this problem even though they know they are going to hell? Whoever concerns himself with the next life will definitely receive the remission of his sins. If one just gives a little attention to his problem of sin, he can receive the remission of sins from God."
