Sermon Tone Analysis

Introduction: God - the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.

Paul saw things that have not yet happened.

Imagine infinite times line you have created, you man kind ultimately chooses his destination.

Who are the elders.

Who are the redeemed.

Who are the souls under the altar.

Who are the number who can not be numbered.

I

1.

In pardon.

People never would have planned pardon for enemies, as God did.

Human beings seek revenge on all such and harbor malice and hatred, whereas God planned redemption and untold glories for His enemies

2. Under favorable and special circumstances people forgive a few times, but they are prone not to forgive after repeated offenses.

God forgives freely many times and as completely and lovingly the last time as the first

3.

People may pardon one person or a few who injure them, but the greater the number the less they are inclined to forgive.

God forgives all, regardless of the number of offenders

1:18-19

2. Under favorable and special circumstances people forgive a few times, but they are prone not to forgive after repeated offenses.

God forgives freely many times and as completely and lovingly the last time as the first

3.

People may pardon one person or a few who injure them, but the greater the number the less they are inclined to forgive.

God forgives all, regardless of the number of offenders

4. People usually limit themselves as to what kind of offenses they will forgive, but God has no qualifications on this point, except the offense of rejecting the only means of help He can offer

5. Men will forgive if an offense is small enough not to be of any great injury to them; but God will forgive the greatest and most aggravated offense against Him

6. Men may be willing to forgive if it does not cost them much, and they can see that such is to their advantage; but God gave the most precious gift of heaven that He might have a basis of forgiveness for His enemies.

God redeems on the basis of personal suffering and having substituted Himself to be punished instead of His enemies.

He forgives by the very One whom men sought to destroy, the One made to endure the most horrible sufferings ever laid upon a human being.

He blesses by faith in the blood atonement and the death of an innocent Person.

Man would have punished the guilty and satisfied justice; but God punished the innocent to justify the guilty.

In fact the whole program of reconciling enemies to God is on such a high level that men never could have planned it.

1:7

1

a.

This could only mean that God is the source of immortality, for not only do all three members of the Divine Trinity have immortality, but all angels, seraphim, cherubim, living creatures, and all spirit beings have immortality.

People have immortality of soul and spirit , and will have immortality in body in the resurrection

God dwells in infinite glory which no man has ever seen nor can see.

God out of His glory has been seen many times with the eyes of men

1.

One wanted help from man.

2. One wanted help from God.

Because everyone is doing something does not make it right.

Because only one person says or do something does not make it wrong.

Ahab sought comfort in numbers.
