Summary: A SERMON THAT DEPICTS THE JUDGEMENT OF THE UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; MOREOVER, HIS END.
THE UNRIGHTEOUS AND HIS END
INTRODUCTION
REVALATION IS THE BOOK OF CONSUMPTION, IN THAT ITS SCRIPTURES ARE UNVEILING THE PROGRAM AND CHARACTER OF GOD. IT IS SO SAID THAT THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BY JOHN ON THE ISLAND OF PATMOS DURING HIS EXILE. REVALATION CENTERS AROUND VISIONS AND SYMBOLS OF THE RESSURECTED CHRIST, WHO ALONE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO JUDGE THE EARTH.
KNOW THIS: THE UNRIGHTEOUS PERSON SHALL BE JUDGEDAND HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
BECAUSE THE UNRIGHTEOUS COULD NOT BURN FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST. THEY WILL HAVE TO BURN IN HELL FOR THEIR OWN SIN(S).
ANYTHING SHORT OF GODS PERFECTION
ROMANS 3:23
FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
BREAKING THE LAW OF GOD
5:13
FOR UNTIL THE LAW SIN WAS IN THE WORLD: BUT SIN IS NOT IMPUTED WHEN THERE IS NO LAW.
REBELLION AGAINST GOD OR LAWLESSNESS
1 JOHN 3:4
WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN TRANSGRESSETH ALSO LAW: FOR SIN IS TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.
THE ORGIN OF SIN
THE FIRST RECORDED SIN WAS IN THE HEAVEN WITH THE ANGEL LUCIFER, LUCIFER HAD AN OVERWHELMING DESIRE TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD.
THE FIRST SIN ON EARTH WAS CONNECTED WITH THE SIN OF ADAM IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. ADAM WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO EAT OFF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND GOOD AND EVIL. BECAUSE THEY DISOBEYED, ADAM AND MANKIND BECAME SINNERS BY INHERITANCE.
AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF ADAM’S ACTIONS PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH WAS IMPUTED, BY WHICH WE SHALL ALL SEE SO LONG AS WE ARE OUTSIDE THE WILL OF GOD.
F0R THE WAGE OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THOUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
IN THE PRESENT DAY WE SEEM TO NEED PROOF THAT SIN EXISTS.
THE EVIDENCE IS:
1) PRISONS
2) HOSPITALS
3) FUNERAL HOMES
4) TEARS - SICKNESS - SORROW - PAIN
REVALATION 20:14
AND DEATH AND HELL WERE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH.
BY WHICH MANY SAINTS WILL SEE SUCH A DEATH BECAUSE OF THEIR WILLFULL NEGLECT OF GOD’S STANDARDS.
THE REMEDY FOR SIN
GOD PROVIDED HIS SON OF A VIRGIN, AND THAT ALONE LEFT HIM WITHOUT THE SIN OF ADAM.
JOHN 3: 16 - 17
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BEKIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD: BUT THROUGH HIM THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
NOW THAT JESUS HAS MET ALL THE HOLY DEMANDS OF GOD AND HAS STISFIED THE PENALTY OF SIN. GOD CAN NOW EXTEND ETERNAL LIFE UNTO THOSE SEEKING SALVATION.
ROMAN 10: 9 - 10 SAYS
THAT IF THOU CONFESS WITH THOU MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED.
FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.
TRUST IN GOD
PROVERBS 3: 5 - 6
TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART AND LEAN NOT TO THY OWN UNDERSTANDING.
INN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS.
THE SIN OF MAN CAN BE REDEEMED THROUGH JESUS WHO IS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN.
