God sent His prophet to warn us that the laws sustaining evil and giving it a semblance of acceptance "shall be cut off... and fall." God Who is "of purer eyes than to behold evil" (Habakkuk 1:13) has not changed His attitude to sin. Only those who repent of their sins to live righteously and piously will escape His indignation and judgment.
Many people try to be nice, like their neighbors, humble, respect others, pay their taxes, do not promote evil and many other good things. But this is not the holiness God wants. For anyone to be holy in the sight of God, he or she has to be washed in the blood of the Lamb of God - Jesus Christ. How? By confessing his/her sins, determining to forsake them and living in the way of God. Furthermore, he/she needs to be separated from all evil and anything that looks like it.
"1Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
God has provided a way from destruction...why not take it and flee from the wrath to come.
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
That is how the time to come would be...exactly. Do not experiment with your life to find out if Hell and Lake of fire would be as terrible has it sounds. There's no turning back.
Confess all of your sins to God and after that pray "God, I am a terrible sinner who cannot save himself/herself. I need your mercy and grave now. Wash me with the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross. I believe you have forgiven me according to your word, in Jesus name I pray. Amen"
Then you can try from this day henceforth to live a simple, sincere and serene life, refilling promptly every thought of discontent, impurity and self seeking, cultivating cheerfulness, magnanimity, charity and the habit of holy silence; exercising economy in expenditure, carefulness in conversation, diligence in appointed service and childlike faith to God.
