Introduction
We should observe that God does not send anyone to hell.
He desires that none should perish (2 Pet.
3:9).
God created humans to have fellowship with Him and provided the means by which they can have that fellowship.
It is a human’s choice to experience to agony of hell.
His or her own sin sends the person there, and his or her rejection of the benefits of Christ’s death prevents escape.
As C.S. Lewis has put it, sin is the human being saying to God throughout life, “Go away and leave me alone.”
Hell is God’s finally saying to the human, “You may have your wish.”
Christian Theology, Baker, 1998.
Millard Erickson
The gospel calls us to a response.
The gospel IS a call.
A call to repent.
A call to surrender.
To submit.
To glorify and Enjoy God forever.
The end of the this gospel outline calls us to a point of decision.
We would do well NOT to ignore, overlook, or minimize this point.
Before we get there....
Review
Anyone remember what the first box is that wants to summarize it for me?
God, the Good Ruler and Creator
So…God is the loving ruler of the world.
He made the world
He made us to rule the world under him.
Revelation 4:11
BUT is that the way it is now?
Anyone remember what the second box is that wants to summarize it for me?
Our Rebellion Against God
We all reject the ruler - God - by trying to run life our own way without him.
But we fail to rule ourselves, society, or the world.
Romans 3:10-12 or Isaiah 53:6a
So, what is God to do about this rebellion?
Anyone remember what the Third box is that wants to summarize it for me?
God’s Justice
God’s won’t let us rebel forever
God’s punishment for rebellion is death and judgment.
Hebrews 9:27.
God’s justice may sound harsh, but that is not the end of the story.
Anyone remember what the Fourth box is that wants to summarize it for me?
God Sent Jesus to Die for Us
Because of His great love, God sent His Son into the world, the man Jesus Christ
Jesus always lived under God’s rule
But Jesus took our punishment by dying in our place
1 Peter 3:18; Isaiah 53:6b
But that’s not all....
Anyone remember what the Fifth box is that wants to summarize it for me?
Jesus, the risen ruler and Savior
God raised Jesus to life again as the ruler and judge of the world.
Jesus has conquered death, now brings forgiveness and new life, and will return in glory.
1 Peter 1:3.
Well, where does that leave us?
It leave us with a clear choice between two ways to live.
AND THIS bring us to the point of decision....
TODAY
Two Ways to Live
There are only two ways to live.
Our way:
Reject God as ruler
Live our own way
