Summary: In this sermon, we'll explore the biblical perspective on the dangers of rejecting Jesus.
In a world where truth is often compromised, one fundamental choice remains: acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The Bible clearly warns that denying Jesus has severe consequences, leading to eternal separation from God in hell. In this sermon, we'll explore the biblical perspective on the dangers of rejecting Jesus.
Denying Jesus: A Rejection of Salvation
Matthew 10:33 states, "Whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven." When we reject Jesus, we reject the only path to salvation, leaving us vulnerable to eternal condemnation.
The Consequence of Denial
Mark 8:38 warns, "For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." Denying Jesus results in His denial of us before God, leading to eternal separation.
The Eternal Destination of the Unrepentant
Revelation 20:15 declares, "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Those who reject Jesus will face the ultimate consequence: eternal damnation in hell.
The Choice is Yours
Your eternal destiny hinges on your response to Jesus Christ. Will you:
1. Accept Him as Lord and Savior, securing eternal life (John 1:12, 1 Peter 1:3-5)
2. Reject Him, choosing eternal separation in hell (Matthew 10:33, Revelation 20:15)
Denying Jesus is a choice with far-reaching consequences. The Bible clearly warns:
- Rejecting Jesus leads to eternal separation from God (Matthew 10:33)
- Denial results in Jesus' denial of us before God (Mark 8:38)
- The unrepentant will face eternal damnation in hell (Revelation 20:15)
Choose wisely, for your decision determines your eternal destination. As the apostle John wrote, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him" (John 3:36).
