• 00:00 - 00:30 John 3 16 and our topic is we're looking at uh of course Christ exposition of the gospel and we're going to a lot of detail and we've come to our final topic our fourth sermon the purpose of faith in Christ the purpose of faith in Christ and we'll look at that in detail and I'll start reading at verse 14 and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so the son of man must be lifted up that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life
• 00:30 - 01:00 for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life so we're going to look at those two things today perish and everlasting life that will be our Focus this afternoon for God do not send us son of the world to condemn the world but that through him that the world through him might be saved so the purpose of faith in Christ God's love of his people all over the world is the reason that he sent his son
• 01:00 - 01:30 to son to die on the cross and rise from the dead and we've seen this perfect salvation is obtained solely is grasped solely by faith or through faith the purpose of faith in the savior is noted toward the end of verse 16. that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life would our Lord accomplished for believers is presented both negatively what Believers are saved from
• 01:30 - 02:00 and positively for instead of judgment and condemnation Believers possess eternal life well let's look at the first one the elimination of judgment and Wrath the word should not perish must be interpreted according to the analogy of scripture if we look at what the Judgment of unbelievers involves these words cannot mean should not be annihilated okay the Bible doesn't teach annihilationism it doesn't teach that at the final judgment
• 02:00 - 02:30 Believers cease to exist and you'll see that in a moment more clearly Parish refers to Total full Eternal rejection by God for unrepentant sin and the real guilt that attends it and it is described in a number of ways in scripture number one it is described as death and the second death God warned Adam that Disobedience to his command would surely result in death
• 02:30 - 03:00 in his emphatic in Hebrews Genesis 2 17. this refers to spiritual death and resulted in Adam and Eve being excluded from Eden Adam was denied the right to eat from the Tree of Life for by disobeying the Covenant of Works he could no longer achieve Eternal glorified Life by personal obedience Genesis 3 22-24 Adam had not sinned if he had obeyed a period of time would have come when he would have been granted the right to eat
• 03:00 - 03:30 of the tree of of life and would have had glorified life but that he was excluded kicked out of the garden Anderson the garden was guarded by angels with swords it also brought physical death into the world all the horrible negative effects of the Fall such as disease birth defects old age death are the result of sin it also leads to the second death that occurs at the final judgment when both the souls
• 03:30 - 04:00 and resurrected bodies of unbelievers are cast into the Lake of Fire Revelation 20 11a 12a and 13 to 15. then I saw the great white throne and him who sat on it and I saw the dead swallowed great standing before God the sea gave up the Dead who were in it and death and Hades delivered up the Dead who were in them and they were judged each one according to his works the death and Hades were cast into the Lake of Fire this is the second death
• 04:00 - 04:30 and anyone not written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire everyone who believes in Christ has his name written in the Book of Life all of their sin and guilt has been paid for in full by Jesus Christ and they are clothed with the perfect righteousness of Christ Zachariah 3 3-4 Romans 4 11-13 Galatians 5 5 Philippians 3 9 and second Corinthians 5 21. forgiving and reconciled they stand
• 04:30 - 05:00 before the judge Justified not in themselves not because of anything that we've done but in Jesus Christ the righteous who is the propitiation for their sins and their Advocate with the father first John 2 on the following Romans 3 22-26 and 5 1. the last judgment then has no tariffs for us for believers for those who thanks to the grace that flows from the cross are no longer an atom but are now in Christ John 3 36 and 5 24.
• 05:00 - 05:30 number two those who do not believe are condemned he who believes in Him is not condemned but he who does not believed is condemned already John 3 18. the word condemn in this context is forensic that is it is the language of a court for believers there is no condemnation Romans 8 1 because Jesus was condemned in their place their guilt and liability of punishment was imputed to Christ on the cross
• 05:30 - 06:00 but the unbeliever is under condemnation this very moment because he has broken God's law and he stands guilty without faith in the savior he is a child of Wrath Ephesians 2 3. the curse of an infinitely holy and righteous God who hates him with a perfect hatred judicially rests upon him those are here the gospel message and reject it greatly increase their guilt for their they account the sinless Savior the son of the Living God is worthless
• 06:00 - 06:30 the guilty verdict is in effect for all living unbelievers right now even though the public Declaration of their guilt occurs at the final judgment guilty right now guilty whether you're aware of it or not if you don't believe in Christ you're guilty right now you're under condemnation right now this very moment number three unbelievers Jesus says will perish
• 06:30 - 07:00 Apollo a palumi the idea here is not Annihilation as I said or Extinction but total ruin or destruction I'm Believers our vessels are wrath made for Destruction Romans 9 22 at the second coming unbelievers will receive Eternal destruction Paul says 2 Thessalonians 1 7-9 the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire taking Vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel
• 07:00 - 07:30 of our Lord Jesus Christ he shall be punished with Everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power unbelievers are guilty of rejecting Christ they set their minds on Earthly things therefore they are the enemies of the Cross of Christ and will in the end suffer Eternal devastating destruction Philippians 3 18-19 the reprobate are committed unbelievers who are the vessels of Wrath made for Destruction
• 07:30 - 08:00 the severity of the punishment awaiting unbelievers is shocking and terrifying okay this is certainly not one of my favorite doctorates but it's taught in the Bible we have to look at it we have to study it but it is totally just for they are guilty Wicked enemies of Yahweh this destruction occurs away from the Lord's face and thus occurs in the outer Darkness whether it's weeping and gnashing of teeth Matthew 8 12 22-13
• 08:00 - 08:30 51 25 30 Luke 13 28. they love the darkness rather than the light John 3 19. during their Earthly life when they might have walked in the light thus they have brought upon themselves damnation destruction from the face of the Lord they have no light at all outside of God's Heavenly city of paradise our dogs unbelievers Sorcerers and sexually immoral and murders and idolaters and whoever loves and
• 08:30 - 09:00 practices a lie revelation 22 14-15 Revelation 20 verse 10 they will be tormented day and night forever and ever a pleasant Doctrine no absolutely true yes number four the Judgment of unbelievers is called the curse of the law Galatians 3 10 and 13. God pronounces a curse on everyone who violates his law and makes that pronouncement of Doom and eternal
• 09:00 - 09:30 reality the curses of the Covenant that occur in this life are only a small foretaste of the Everlasting punishment Matthew 25 46 that is to come to the Soul at death Luke 16 22-24 and the Soul on the body at the final judgment John 5 29 Matthew 10 28 25 31 41-46 the curse involves the fire that will never be quenched Mark 9 45 the
• 09:30 - 10:00 worm that never dies Mark 9 46 Everlasting chains Jude 6 the Blackness of Darkness forever Jude 13. eternal torment Revelation 14 10 where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth Matthew 22 13. by the way all the stuff comes directly from the lips of Christ so if you have a problem with this and think it's demented uh you can go talk to Christ about it on the day of judgment the only way to eliminate this
• 10:00 - 10:30 terrifying curse is to look to Christ by faith who endured the curse and fall in our place vicarious atonement Galatians 3 13. he took the handwriting and requirements that was against us and he nailed it to the cross Colossians 2 14. but God takes all Rebels against his throne and he cast them into the fire of Eternal Darkness he places them into the arms of Destruction now the subject of Hell the wake of fire
• 10:30 - 11:00 and eternal punishment is very troubling and very unpleasant I come from a family of unbelievers I'm the only Christian I know among my family so it's not certainly not pleasant for me Christians today generally avoid it and the attempt to present the gospel only in positive terms you know the old Joel Olsteen well I don't talk about hell yeah it's in the Bible I don't talk about it I have a positive Ministry I talk about getting rich and having
• 11:00 - 11:30 whiter teeth oh I don't want to talk about the cross either that's that's kind of negative in fact in many circles Christianity is set forth in a hedonistic materialistic manner as a way to get health wealth and positive affirming thoughts and by the way the preachers that do this and the churches that do this they're huge because that's what people want to hear they don't want to hear about Sin they don't want to hear about hell they don't want to hear Doctrine but if we study the teachings of Jesus
• 11:30 - 12:00 he spoke about hell he spoke about hell and eternal punishment all the time in fact he spoke about it more than all the prophets and apostles combined did you know that almost all the teaching we have about hell comes from Jesus for the loving savior it was a crucial element of gospel preaching yet it is still common for people to see the doctrine of hell is absurdly Harsh and barbaric
• 12:00 - 12:30 but such people obviously do not understand the infinite Holiness and righteousness of God without an understanding of yahweh's holiness people view sin and Rebellion against God as a minor issue it's a light thing oh what's the big deal what's the big deal if I want to go to a bath house and have sodomy what's the big deal if I want to be a and fornicate what's the big deal if I want to shoot heroin it's no big deal God's a god of love he overlooks my sins
• 12:30 - 13:00 no God is holy and righteous and the Holiness of God the righteousness of God is emphasized far more than the love of God in the Bible but our Lord knows better and we must pay close attention to what he says the doctrine of God's infinite Holiness and punishment that sin justly deserves helps us understand the horrors and the agony of the cross he didn't send Jesus to the cross for a fact he did it because that was the only way
• 13:00 - 13:30 to justify Sinners he had to endure the curse of the law he had to endure the hell that we deserve he had to endure the outer darkness that we all deserve in our place it shows everyone who is not a Christian this sobering trouble and predicament they are in to ignore Jesus Christ and his precious gospel is to choose hell and eternal punishment do not be influenced by the antinomianism and careless Spirit of this age
• 13:30 - 14:00 but save yourself from this exceptionally Wicked and perverse generation things have gotten so wicked I mean when I was in high school back in the 70s I graduated in 75. if you're a sodomite you kept it a big big secret nowadays people brag about it and they openly practice it there's no shame involved with sin
• 14:00 - 14:30 anymore people Revel in it they love it and they mock God and they spit on his law well that's the negative let's look at the gift of eternal life the positive result of faith in Christ is the possession of Eternal or everlasting life John 3 15 it stated exactly the same in 16b and then it's stated in the terms in a be saved in 17c the expression eternal life or life eternal or Everlasting
• 14:30 - 15:00 zahi aonios is found three times in Matthew 1916-29 and 25 46 twice in Mark 10 16 and 30 three times in Luke 10 25 18 18 and 30. and 17 times in John's gospel and I won't read them all there's a whole bunch of them 17 times it is found also throughout the whole new testament acts 13 46 and 48 Romans 2 7 5 21 6 22 and 23 Galatians 6 8 First
• 15:00 - 15:30 Timothy 1 16 6 12 and 619 Titus 1 2 3 7 first John 1 2 2 25 315 511 and 13-20 and June 21. over half of the occurrences of this expression are found are used in johannine context they're used by the Apostle John so over half so John's really likes to talk about eternal life
• 15:30 - 16:00 the words Eternal Everlasting are forever in both Hebrew and Greek are defined by the context sometimes they can refer to an age or a period of time that does not last throughout all eternity in Deuteronomy 15 17 for example your servant forever refers to the lifetime of the servant he'll be your servant until he dies in addition the Everlasting Hills of Genesis 49 26 referred to a very long geological age
• 16:00 - 16:30 of these Hills because God's going to recreate the earth when Christ returns when these words are applied to God's promises and Christ's salvation they are used in a literal absolute and never-ending sense the word Eternal has an eternal life refers to an unending duration of time remember for God there is no time time only exists for us the Salvation that Christ achieved is perfect and eternal its foundation can
• 16:30 - 17:00 never be altered or overturned its effects abide it affects its effect abides forever and ever without end now the word life refers to the quality or state of blessedness that all true Christians receive as the word death as a state of unbelievers is comprehensive and multifaceted the word life or believe Believers is exceptionally rich there are a number of things to consider about this eternal life or Eternal
• 17:00 - 17:30 salvation Hebrews 5 9 Redemption Hebrews 9 12 and inheritance Hebrews 9 15. and we're just going to scratch the surface we'll be very brief number one this special salvific life is the current possession of the believer right now even though the full experience of the blessings of Salvation are yet future and Christ emphasizes that especially in the Gospel of John in John 3 15 and 16 the verb have as in have eternal life is in the present
• 17:30 - 18:00 tense our Lord emphasizes this truth in John 5 24 most assuredly I say to you he who hears my word and believes in him who sent me has present tense passed from Death unto life the perfect 10 oh oh excuse me has present tense and shall not come into judgment but as past perfect tense from death into life so present tense then perfect tense what is the significance of the perfect tense
• 18:00 - 18:30 the perfect tense indicates that salvation is possessed in the present and the state state safe State continues on into the future so it's not I'm safe today but I might not be safe tomorrow no you're saved and you continue to be saved a Believer is an entirely new position before God he has moved from condemnation and death unto life we are completely Justified declared righteous in the Heavenly Court by God and forgiven all of our sins the moment
• 18:30 - 19:00 We Believe it is as though Christ pulled us out of the jaws of hell and seated us positionally it is right hand in heaven that big that big Gulf you know there's a big Gulf between saved and unsaved Between Heaven and Hell and Christ pulls us from one side to the other by his grace by his death by his blood number two this salvation will be more fully experienced when our physical bodies die
• 19:00 - 19:30 and our souls go to be with Jesus in heaven and our current status Christians the power of sin over us has been broken because of our Union with Christ and his death and Resurrection Romans chapter 6. but we still must fight the flesh the old man the body of sin I didn't have time to look up the references but those are all biblical terms and Paul talks especially in Romans 7 read about Paul you know I want to I want to be like this I want to do this and I end up doing that what I hate why
• 19:30 - 20:00 because the flesh the sinful flesh we have the joy of Salvation yet her life is when a struggle conflict Temptations and persecution but at death the believer's soul goes straight to heaven to behold the face of God the trials and the sufferings of the present life are no more Revelation 14 13 blessed are this blessed are the Dead who die in the Lord from now on yes says his spirit that they may rest from their labors and
• 20:00 - 20:30 their Works follow them physical death Paul says cannot separate us from the love of God Romans 8 38 and following thus Paul could say that for him to die is gain Philippians 1 21 look it's better for me to die and go be with Christ and go to heaven but you know I desire to stay here and help the ministry help help you guys out but it's better for me if I die we're to depart with Christ is far better and to be with Christ is far better
• 20:30 - 21:00 that's Philippians 1 23. he describes this blessed State as being at home with the Lord second Corinthians 5 8. our laborious toll on the Fallen Earth and the hardships that attend it including persecutions are a thing of the past good works of Christians follow them for what they have done for Jesus and his kingdom endures forever this Paul instructs us First Corinthians 58 1558 this is a passage we should all memorize steadfast immovable
• 21:00 - 21:30 always abounding in the work of the Lord knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord what a great Passage our Lord's words to his disciples who would all die by Roman persecution except John they all died in violent ways are comforting John 14 1-4 let not your heart be troubled you believe in God believe also in me in my father's house are many mansions
• 21:30 - 22:00 if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you and if I go to a preparer place for you I will come again and receive you to myself and where I am there you may be also and where I go you know and you uh you know and that way you know as our high priest who has achieved a perfect Redemption Jesus entered heaven as the ascent at the Ascension as our Forerunner or proxy our representative
• 22:00 - 22:30 he achieved and therefore he claims the right of entrance for all his believing members our lives are HID with Christ and God Colossians 3 3. so death is an unpleasant thing you get old you fall apart your bodies fall apart you may suffer but hang in there you're going to go to heaven number three we experience eternal life in the
• 22:30 - 23:00 fullest sense beginning at the second coming when Jesus returns on our dead bodies are resurrected and glorified First Corinthians 15 35-58 here's just a few for the Trump what will sound of the Dead will be raised Incorruptible and we shall be changed where this corruption must put on incorruption and this Mortal must put on immortality then she'll be brought to pass the saying that is written death is swallowed up in Victory thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ that's First Corinthians 15 52 B 53 54
• 23:00 - 23:30 and 57. and by the way a beautiful proof text against the full preterist heresy a damnitable heresy the essence of our future blessedness is always to be together with the Lord in perfect fellowship and communion John 12 26 14 3 14 3. oh wait John I wrote this down wrong 14-3 uh 1724. second Corinthians 5 8 Philippians 123
• 23:30 - 24:00 first Thessalonians 4 17 5 10. First John 3 2. but the salvation and the blessings that Jesus achieved are not limited to heaven Christ came to save the whole man the Bible emphasizes this body and soul and the whole earth which is a very physical place see Romans 8 19 to 22 in Revelation 21 1-7 the whole earth will be saved redeemed the effects of the Fall will be
• 24:00 - 24:30 gone forever the Bible does not teach or advocate gnosticism or neoplatonism which is this idea that anything made out of material a physical substance is intrinsically inferior or bad defective somehow due to Christ's work our physical bodies will be raised up and glorified they will be spiritual Immortal perfect and
• 24:30 - 25:00 unable to be tempted by sin they're not Spirits they'll be spiritual spiritual modifies your physical body make means you're going to be obedient to God 100 of the time you'll be glorified you won't be tempted by sin anymore but you will have a physical body now it is certainly true that in this stage while we await the second coming our focus is directed toward heaven where our treasure is Matthew 6 20 in 1921 and our precious Lord sits at the right hand of God Ephesians 1 20-22 but
• 25:00 - 25:30 when Jesus returns the whole church comes with him to live on a glorified perfected Earth second Thessalonians 1 7-10 first Thessalonians 4 13-17 Revelation 21 2-5 the meek will literally inherit the earth Matthew 5 5. Christians will sit down as guests with Abraham Isaac and Jacob Matthew 8 11 and they will enjoy the wedding supper of the Lamb Matthew 22 3-12 and they will eat and drink at Christ's table Luke 22 30.
• 25:30 - 26:00 in the Here and Now we are aliens in this Fallen World and this current world order hates us and wants to kill us Philippians 3 20 Hebrews 11 13 to 16 first John 2 15 to 17. but when the glorified savior returns non-christians are cast into the Lake of Fire Revelation 20 14-15 and excluded from the holy city Revelation 21 8 22 15 Matthew 25 41 Etc so Christians can live in perfect peace and fellowship
• 26:00 - 26:30 although the visions of the New Jerusalem the Heavenly City that comes to Earth and the Blessed state of the new heavens and new earth given in the final chapters of the Book of Revelation are not meant to be taken literally I'm not saying they are you're not going to have a city that's a perfect Cube that's 2 000 miles in each Direction nevertheless the truths that they set forth are clear the Earth will be recreated renewed and boosted to its highest glory for us to

• 27:30 - 28:00 now we can behold God by looking into the mirror of divine revelation we can only look at God through the mirror of scripture we look by faith not by sight but when Jesus returns we shall be face to face with Christ and We Shall Behold god with glorified eyes and Minds that will possess a knowledge unfettered by sin in the fall now you see these kids there you see people and they're a genius and they can play Mozart and Chopin and they can do
• 28:00 - 28:30 complex trigonometry and all this stuff and they're 10 years old well we'll all be like that after the Fall's gone we'll all be geniuses we will behold the Lord as his perfected Saints directly immediately unambiguously and purely First John 3 2. beloved now we are the children of God and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be but we know that when he is revealed we
• 28:30 - 29:00 shall be like him for we shall see him as he is so I hope you see how glorious this is how amazing it is we can't fathom Paul says we can't even imagine we can't fathom it he says that in Romans the things that God has in store for us the blessings now with all this in mind I hope that you can see that there is nothing more important in this life than
• 29:00 - 29:30 believing in Jesus Christ for salvation and then following him the rest of your life as one of his disciples we're saved we're Justified now it's time to live the Sanctified life and follow him obey the law obey scripture find a good Bible believing Church if you looked at Jesus and his Redemption by faith you will immediately possess an amazing almost unfathomable salvation your sin guilt condemnation and life of total futility and hostility
• 29:30 - 30:00 to God is forever gone in the place of that lost state is justification reconciliation peace with God Holiness and life Everlasting your life of futility and wickedness is replaced by service toward Christ and his kingdom life has meaning you see all these people and they they become super successful as actors or as rock musicians or whatever and uh they get filthy rich and then
• 30:00 - 30:30 they're all miserable and they're shooting heroin and doing all their life doesn't have any meaning you have to have Christ have meaning you have to have Christ to have purpose if you have not already done so now is the time to repent and turn to Christ Romans 10 9-11 if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead he will be saved for with a heart One Believes unto righteousness and with a mouth
• 30:30 - 31:00 confession is made into salvation for the scripture says whoever believes in him will not be put to shame there's no such thing as a secret believer you have to confess him and you have to confess him to repent those old friends have to go those old friends you know who want to go out and get some beer and sort some coke and smoke some weed and pick up chicks that's all gone that's you got to throw that right in the trash you have to confess Christ before man
• 31:00 - 31:30 you have to live your faith Faithfully you're not saved by that not one iota you're safe solely by Christ but once you bow the need of Christ and you believe in him it's time to follow him let us pray father we thank you for your son Lord cause us we do not appreciate your salvation as we really ought to cause us to appreciate it every moment of every day show us teach us by the spirit in your word
