A growing number of professing Christians no longer see God’s commands as essential, instead choosing lifestyles that contradict Scripture.
In a recent message, Christian content creator Nik Keswani directly addressed this trend, warning that many who claim to follow Jesus are deceived about their spiritual condition.

“My goal as a servant of Jesus Christ is not to please people, but to please God,” Keswani said.
Citing a Barna Research study, he pointed out that “out of the 2.4 billion professing Christians in the world, only 30% of them have said that they’re born again, and only 3% of them have said that they have an actual biblical worldview.”
His conclusion: “This means that 97% of professing Christians will perish in eternal hellfire.”
Keswani rejects the idea that ongoing sin is compatible with a genuine walk with Christ.
“No one born of God makes a practice of sinning,” he quoted from 1 John 3:9. He also criticized emotional approaches to faith that ignore Scripture: “Professing Christians nowadays are being led astray by emotionalism rather than biblical truth.”
He challenged believers to take seriously their obedience to Christ. “It’s time Christians stop treating God as their boyfriend and start revering Him as their sovereign master,” he said. “Is your name written in the book of life? And does God really know your name?”

His message closed with a plea: “Don’t let Satan rob you of your eternal destiny… Enough is enough.”
