God’s Judgment is Real

Destiny is defined as “the hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future; the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future” (Laptop dictionary).

In God’s final and eternal judgment of wickedness, believers should find a confidence for forgiveness and a hope for justice.

Unbelievers will face the judgment of their Actions and beliefs

Our Faith Determines God’s Verdict

We either believe in Jesus’ deeds or we trust in our deeds.

Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards hell; and if God should let you go, you would immediately sink and switfly descend and plunge into the bottomless gulf, and your healthy constitution, and your own care and prudence, and best contrivance, and all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider's web would have to stop a fallen rock

Contrivance (our best work based on our most accomplished skill) dangles us over hell as a spider hangs by his web over an open flame.

Edwards also compares our wickedness in this life as walking over hell on a rotten covering.

We are no more saved in our own power than we can stop ourselves from falling through the air, before we hit the ground.

descend and plunge into the bottomless gulf, and your healthy constitution, and your own care and prudence, and best contrivance, and all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider's web would have to stop a fallen rock

revelation 12:

Revelation 22:

Without Genuine Faith in Christ Finished Work, No one Escapes Hell

Application:

We should examine our faith and determine if it is a living faith.

We not only believe but we also live out our faith.

We seek to help others live out their faith.

We should evangelize the lost help sanctify the saved, and strive to perfect our personal holiness.

We will have many jobs and works of service in heaven.

But one ministry we have on this earth we will answer for at the Judgment Seat of christ will no the available in heaven.

Evangelism is a present reality and the duty of everyone with genuine faith in Christ.
