Do folks even want the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, etc.  The bread of life, the light of the world, etc.?

Even if they are tired of and from the world...?

Answer: No!
Isaiah 55:8,9  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Romans 3:10-12  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

...About Sin?

• the schoolmaster - who is that?
• the law - the purpose before and after?
• salvation - rightly divided to know which is for NOW?  no longer in need of the schoolmaster - now it is faith!
• daily life - how to have God involved daily!
• after life - Hell, Lake of Fire or Tribulation or Millennium and Eternity - not just 'heaven' in a cloud, etc.
• real Jesus Christ, etc. for salvation or another Christ for an imitation salvation, etc.
• What happens to sin and sinners when one is saved...?  does anything 'change?'

• a walk to please God to actually see His blessings abound more and more!  I Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.   These blessings are available - even during this hour of temptation today - and with joy and all that comes with the Christian life with what used to be called Christian Conduct!!  (or are they just expecting to receive that abundant 'American' Christian life?)
• following Paul - (following Christ through Paul) -I Corinthians 4:14-17  I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.  For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.  Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.  For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.; 1I Corinthians 11:1  Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ;

• Judgment Seat - burn up the works or receive glory from the works
• Shame or glory to Christ (He took our sins - became sin for us)
• Testimony of Christ to others (a true or false one?)
• God being accused by the devil - Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
• Robbing God of His praises!
• Helping others (or just being selfish!)  your own spouse, kids, friends, family, workers, brethren, anyone you see needing help!  (You see the blindness, the deception in their lives - you see how the world has them deceived, etc.).
• Are you willing to take that chance of being defrauded - used?  Will you sacrifice to help others...?  The rewards are eternal!

• Jesus preached the Great Commission to the Jewish nation that needed to fear the wrath of God for rejecting their Messiah which was then to take that same message of Christ to the Gentiles.  a. Matthew 3:7; Malachi 3:1-5; Malachi 4:1-6  b.  See John 3:7 - Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. - the nation of Israel needed to be born again - their Messiah was here!   c.  The beatitudes, etc. HAD to be walked, etc. (Matthew 5:9; 20; 44,45, 48; 7:24-27) and will have to be walked in the Millennium.  But today?   We can't so why preach that we do!

• Paul preached the Greater Commission to the Gentiles to show them the new gospel on how to be personally saved eternally and then live for and with God on a daily basis - with Christ in them - according to what Jesus Christ taught to Paul, not to the Jews and then from what Paul had written down in his epistles.

II Corinthians 6:14-18   Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,  And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
