       We come today then to the final moments of our current world setup, phase two, you might call it, in the history of the world. Let’s briefly review these world phases. Phase one was when God originally created the world (some 6,000 years ago), and we saw how he accomplished this in Genesis 1 by speaking it into existence. And that world grew large in number, some theologians estimating it to be about seven billion people by the Great Flood, the Flood of Noah. As the world had become so wicked by the days of Noah, God decided that he was going to destroy it, and yet save the human race through Noah and his family. And he told him to build an Ark, and God used that ark to save the people and animals, two of every kind, who boarded it. And, as an aside, this is probably where we see the death of the dinosaurs (as for whatever reason, they may have not boarded the ark. They could have been taken as infants or small dinosaurs; we really don't know for sure).

       Yes, God is a God of love, but he is also a God of holiness and righteousness. A god of love who is just love is not the real god. And God cannot have anyone with him who will not believe in him. And he cannot have anybody reside with him who is bearing the guilt of all their sins. God has provided a way for us to be declared not guilty of all of our sins. And that is through trusting in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross as an acceptable payment for us. If you would like to come into a personal relationship with God today, then I want you to follow my lead in this prayer: God, I have realized today that I’m not believing in you in my life. I’m not following your ways of doing things, but I’m doing things the wrong ways. Today, though, I want to turn from doing wrong and accept Jesus into my life as my Guide. I want to do things the right way. I believe Jesus died for my offenses and can make me right with you. I believe he rose from the dead, is alive today, and will help me in my life. Please Father, help me to start today in making right choices, and being close to you. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

God is Looking for an Open Heart (TMF:1383)

       God will accept anyone who comes to him with an open heart. It is true that one day in the future God will judge all people, and anyone who isn’t trusting in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for them will be found guilty for all accounts of sin. These people will have no hope of experiencing true life, or living in peace and harmony with God and others. God will separate those who don’t believe from his presence, and these individuals will be tormented for their sins in a place the Bible calls The Lake of Fire. Yes, God is a God of love, but he is also a God of holiness and righteousness. A god of love who is just love is not the real god. And God cannot have anyone with him who will not believe in him. And he cannot have anybody reside with him who is bearing the guilt of all their sins. Thankfully, though, God has provided a way for us to be declared not guilty of all of our sins. And that is through trusting in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross as an acceptable payment for us.

Are You Following the Ways of this World? (TMF:1382)

       I know some of you have been listening and you’ve felt convicted. You have realized you are not following the Lord Jesus, and you know you are following the ways of this world, and you are practicing sin in your life—doing things God has said not to do. Well, today, the good news is that we are still in the grace period. The Rapture of the Church hasn’t happened yet, and God is still withholding his judgment on the world. Please understand that God loves you and wants to be in a personal relationship with you. He wants to help you be a good person. He wants to help all of us become more like Jesus, and that includes you today. In fact, God sent Jesus to the earth 2,000 years ago, and he died on a cross to pay our sin debts, all the wrongs we’ve committed in our lives, and to make us right with God. Jesus rose from the dead and is today with God in Heaven. Jesus wants to help you. He wants to be on your side, and doesn’t want to be against anyone.

       John next tells us he heard a statement from the alter in Heaven. This may be the collective voice of the martyred saints which John says he saw under the alter in Revelation 6:9-11. Recall? These were the saints who were asking God for vengeance against their adversaries who were still on the earth. Regardless, the following statement is made: “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!” (ESV). What the angel has spoken is restated as God’s righteousness is affirmed to be true. That is, what God is doing aligns with the truth, and he is not doing anything wrong. And not only that, but also it is affirmed that God’s judgment is just. He is doing what is good, and he is doing it for the right reason. His declaration of wrath is the right one. Everyone who is on the earth is getting the wrath that has been stored up for them, and God is vindicating himself.
