Summary: Sin being the ultimate crime that deserves death.

I. Crimes that deserve death

A. is the death penalty biblical

1. Num 35:16-21

16 "’If a man strikes someone with an iron object so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death. 17 Or if anyone has a stone in his hand that could kill, and he strikes someone so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death. 18 Or if anyone has a wooden object in his hand that could kill, and he hits someone so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death. 19 The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death. 20 If anyone with malice aforethought shoves another or throws something at him intentionally so that he dies 21 or if in hostility he hits him with his fist so that he dies, that person shall be put to death; he is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.

B. Rom 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ

Jesus our Lord.

II. Are there crimes for which we can receive the death penalty.

A. Gen 2:15-17

15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

B. Gal 6:7-8

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction;

C. Acts 5:1-11

5:1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."

5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?"

"Yes," she said, "that is the price."

9 Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."

10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

D. Gal 5:19-21

19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

III. The Lie

A. Gen 3:4-5

4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

B. John 8:43-45

. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

IV. Tell me you don’t believe his lies most of you live like there is no tomorrow

A. (Correction) you live like there is no hell, if you really thought there was no tomorrow you would straighten up your act.

B. Most of us can remember back to being a teenager we thought we were invincible, immortal, that we had the rest of our lives, that nothing could touch us.

C. Luke 12:4-5. 4 "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

V. Hell is real

A. Matt 13:41-43

41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matt 13:49-50

49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matt 24:48-51

8 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ’My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Rev 20:14-15

14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Rev 21:8

8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

You see friends there is a real hell that last forever the torment goes on and on and it is a capital punishment that will never end. God does outline a death penalty and the worst one that any one can imagine and it is reserved for those who do not accept His son as their personal savior

I don’t care what you think, I don’t care what occultic excuses you give me to express your disagreement with me. Like God is a loving God he wouldn’t be so cruel to give an eternal punishment

HOG WASH that’s just the devil doing his job and lying to you.

If you don’t know my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ you will Go to Hell

AN ETERNAL Fiery Pit where there will be eternal weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

VI. How to avoid hell

Matt 22:12-13

12’Friend,’ he asked, ’how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.

13 "Then the king told the attendants, ’Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

NIV

If you don’t want to be thrown out of the wedding banquet you better have on the wedding clothes.

.. Rev 3:4-6

5’He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. 6’He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ’

The only way to overcome and be clothed in white is to have all your guilty, sinful stains removed.

You must be saved, you have no other choice, I don’t care how good you live how much time you volunteer to this ministry or somewhere else. You have to confess your sins, Repent, Turn from you sins and accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior allowing His blood shed on Calvary’s cross to come and wash you.

Isa 1:18

18 "Come now, let us reason together,"

Says the LORD.

"Though your sins are like scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow;

though they are red as crimson,

Come and get your pure white garments, come and receive your forgiveness don’t listen to the devils lies

Your ok, you’re better than so and so.

Cause no one here is better than Christ and that is who we are judged against.
