There is hope for everyone through Jesus –
"Know ye not that the unrighteous [“those who do
wrong”] shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived [“Don’t fool
yourselves”]: neither fornicators [sexually immoral] , nor idolaters [“worship
idols”], nor adulterers [“commit adultery”], nor effeminate [“male
prostitutes”], nor abusers of themselves with mankind [“homosexual/sodomite”],
nor thieves, nor covetous [“eager to have more, especially what belongs to
others”], nor drunkards, nor revilers [“abusive”], nor extortioners [“robber,
extortioner”] , shall inherit the kingdom of God.
“And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are
sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
We are washed, sanctified, and justified when we are water
baptized in Jesus name and filled with His Spirit.
When we believe that our Heavenly Father took on flesh in
the name of Jesus to die for our sins because He loves us, when we turn away
from a lifestyle with sin by repentance and love for Jesus, we can get water
baptized in Jesus name for the forgiveness of all of our sins. God then gives
us the promise of the gift of His holy Spirit, if we will receive it, bringing
us peace, joy, and power to live a new life in Christ. (Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16,
Hebrews 13:12, Romans 15:16, Romans 5:9)
