Rejoicing in Sin?

Only Those Who Do The Will of God Will Inherit Eternal Life.
We are doing no one any favors when we attempt to change God's Word on this issue. If man is more concerned about pleasing others, rather than pleasing God, that man will find himself compromising the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Sadly, there will be many who will stand before God and be rejected by God because they spent their lives speaking a gospel that made people feel comfortable in their sin. They spent their lives soothing 'worried' sinners into believing it was okay if they continued in sin and that God would welcome them into Heaven regardless, simply because they professed Jesus with their "lips."
~What a tragic lie~
When a person is abiding in Jesus Christ, changes occur! A Holy transformation begins and continues to take place! Branches/believers IN Christ will receive Holy, Righteous, and Life Giving 'sap' that flows from Jesus -- The Vine. A person cannot and is not abiding IN that which is Holy all the while remaining the same old sinner. It is spiritually impossible!
When I was IN the world, I looked like the world, and my very nature was that of the world. Why? Because I was attached to the "sap" of the world. Worldliness flowed through me. I liked the sights, sounds, and sinfulness of the world. It fed me. And I didn't know I was a mess of sin because my master was the world and its sin!

Thanks be to God though ... when I was born of the Holy Spirit of God after being tried by fire, my blind eyes were opened. I repented, and I became a branch IN the Vine of Christ. By faith, I began to dwell/abide/live with Jesus Christ. His goodness began flowing through me. I was/am transforming all because of Him.
As Jude taught, somewhere along the way, false notions of salvation crept in. Oh, if only the masses knew the Power of God to transform a person into Holiness, Righteousness, and Purity. This Truth is available to all, but sadly, many would rather chance believing the lie in order to continue sinning and to continue consoling those who practice sin.

Regrettably, many have more faith in "SIN" being so powerful that man cannot overcome it, rather than having true faith in JESUS being able to overcome the sin nature within us as we abide IN Him. What a shame! What a compromise!
Read carefully the two sections of verses below.
If a person is not in the WILL of GOD, that person will not inherit eternal life WITH God. May he who has ears hear what the Spirit says.
Section 1:
 1 John 2:
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but HE THAT DOETH THE WILL of God abideth for ever.
Section 2:
Matthew 7:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but HE THAT DOETH THE WILL of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, AND DOETH THEM, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
