00:00:10.923 --> 00:00:13.102
I mean, if there's not a love for Christ,

00:00:13.102 --> 00:00:14.805
if He isn't your all in all,

00:00:14.805 --> 00:00:16.683
if He isn't what drives your life,

00:00:16.683 --> 00:00:19.674
if He isn't the center and the core

00:00:19.674 --> 00:00:23.843
and the main movement of your whole life,

00:00:23.843 --> 00:00:30.148
if your life isn't just 
revolving around Him,

00:00:30.148 --> 00:00:36.093
you're going to get 
thrown away in the end.

00:00:36.093 --> 00:00:37.556
Can I tell you something?

00:00:37.556 --> 00:00:40.555
The wicked and the righteous -

00:00:40.555 --> 00:00:41.994
they're here in this room.

00:00:41.994 --> 00:00:43.255
We're here together.

00:00:43.255 --> 00:00:46.495
We're in the same net right now.

00:00:46.495 --> 00:00:48.703
We can't tell,

00:00:48.703 --> 00:00:50.065
but the day's coming.

00:00:50.065 --> 00:00:56.553
Right now, we're in close 
proximity with each other.

00:00:56.553 --> 00:01:00.433
So much so, sometimes even 
the most discerning of us,

00:01:00.433 --> 00:01:03.003
we can't tell.

00:01:03.003 --> 00:01:05.043
But the day's coming

00:01:05.043 --> 00:01:06.913
when a separation's going to be made

00:01:06.913 --> 00:01:08.391
and it's going to be final.

00:01:08.391 --> 00:01:09.982
We'll never be together

00:01:09.982 --> 00:01:12.113
ever again.

00:01:12.113 --> 00:01:15.235
Because you know what? 
In that Kingdom of Heaven,

00:01:15.235 --> 00:01:16.644
no liar is there.

00:01:16.644 --> 00:01:19.904
No coward is there.
No adulterer is there.

00:01:19.904 --> 00:01:22.234
All the dogs,

00:01:22.234 --> 00:01:24.436
all the sorcerers,

00:01:24.436 --> 00:01:27.024
all those cowards, they're on the outside

00:01:27.024 --> 00:01:28.453
forevermore.

00:01:28.453 --> 00:01:30.770
The separation is final.

00:01:30.770 --> 00:01:34.295
The separation is absolutely right.

00:01:34.295 --> 00:01:37.665
It is absolutely perfect.

00:01:37.665 --> 00:01:39.564
In professing Christianity,

00:01:39.564 --> 00:01:41.751
there is the true and the false,

00:01:41.751 --> 00:01:44.270
but a day is coming when both

00:01:44.270 --> 00:01:46.670
will be clearly distinguished

00:01:46.670 --> 00:01:49.651
and separated forever.

00:01:49.651 --> 00:01:52.921
Ladies and gentlemen, this is us.

00:01:52.921 --> 00:01:55.151
I'm not talking about a fairy tale

00:01:55.151 --> 00:01:56.720
or some Hollywood creation,

00:01:56.720 --> 00:01:58.489
and I'm not talking about something

00:01:58.489 --> 00:02:00.049
that happened a long time ago

00:02:00.049 --> 00:02:01.448
or in a far away place.

00:02:01.448 --> 00:02:03.540
I'm talking about us.

00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:06.760
We have all been drug along

00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.599
and are being pulled along

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.847
by the Gospel net.

00:02:10.847 --> 00:02:13.390
I'm in here right now 
because of the Gospel.

00:02:13.390 --> 00:02:14.937
And for one reason or another,

00:02:14.937 --> 00:02:16.489
I suspect you are too,

00:02:16.489 --> 00:02:18.190
even if you're a child of somebody

00:02:18.190 --> 00:02:19.428
that came for that reason,

00:02:19.428 --> 00:02:20.989
and you didn't want to be here.

00:02:20.989 --> 00:02:23.100
Or your friend dragged you in or whatever.

00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:24.828
You've gotten pulled by this thing

00:02:24.828 --> 00:02:27.720
one way or another.

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:31.061
This is us.

00:02:31.061 --> 00:02:36.161
Those angels are going to separate us.

00:02:36.161 --> 00:02:37.778
This is real.

00:02:37.778 --> 00:02:40.220
This is true.

00:02:40.220 --> 00:02:42.688
Jesus Christ came -

00:02:42.688 --> 00:02:44.369
do you know what He told Pilate

00:02:44.369 --> 00:02:46.671
about why He came into the world?

00:02:46.671 --> 00:02:48.839
To bear witness to the truth.

00:02:48.839 --> 00:02:50.570
And I'll guarantee you if He says

00:02:50.570 --> 00:02:52.542
the Kingdom of Heaven is like this,

00:02:52.542 --> 00:02:53.889
it's because it is.

00:02:53.889 --> 00:02:55.399
And this day is coming

00:02:55.399 --> 00:02:57.548
and this separation is going to happen.

00:02:57.548 --> 00:02:59.488
Both are right now in the net:

00:02:59.488 --> 00:03:00.889
wicked and righteous.

00:03:00.889 --> 00:03:02.450
Though there's many kinds,

00:03:02.450 --> 00:03:05.048
bottom line, there's only two.

00:03:05.048 --> 00:03:07.961
He says there is the evil or the wicked,

00:03:07.961 --> 00:03:10.959
and He says there is the righteous.

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:14.356
Look, there is not a third category.

00:03:14.356 --> 00:03:15.468
There is not.

00:03:15.468 --> 00:03:16.799
You have people today:

00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:18.110
"I don't go to church."

00:03:18.110 --> 00:03:20.206
"I don't bow to Christ."

00:03:20.206 --> 00:03:21.510
"I don't pray to Christ."

00:03:21.510 --> 00:03:24.150
"But... you know, I don't go

00:03:24.150 --> 00:03:27.295
persecute His people either."

00:03:27.295 --> 00:03:28.541
Listen, Jesus says,

00:03:28.541 --> 00:03:32.008
"If you're not for Me, you're against Me."

00:03:32.008 --> 00:03:33.651
Lay it down.

00:03:33.651 --> 00:03:37.339
You're for Him or you're against Him.

00:03:37.339 --> 00:03:39.150
I'm not talking about whether you

00:03:39.150 --> 00:03:40.760
come to church or not.

00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:42.666
This says there's many in the net

00:03:42.666 --> 00:03:44.283
that are going to be tossed out.

00:03:44.283 --> 00:03:45.988
It doesn't have to do with whether

00:03:45.988 --> 00:03:47.810
you say, "Lord, Lord."

00:03:47.810 --> 00:03:49.408
He says it's not everybody

00:03:49.408 --> 00:03:50.607
that uses My name,

00:03:50.607 --> 00:03:52.061
that says to Me, "Lord, Lord,"

00:03:52.061 --> 00:03:55.196
that's going to enter the 
Kingdom of Heaven.

00:03:55.196 --> 00:03:56.938
You know who it is?

00:03:56.938 --> 00:03:59.931
It's those who have been 
genuinely born again.

00:03:59.931 --> 00:04:05.210
That's somebody - a new 
creation in Christ,

00:04:05.210 --> 00:04:09.590
who now, out of a transformed reality,

00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:13.183
they do the will of the Father.

00:04:13.183 --> 00:04:15.071
They practice righteousness.

00:04:15.071 --> 00:04:16.621
Is that not the description?

00:04:16.621 --> 00:04:18.433
My wife was hitting 1 John.

00:04:18.433 --> 00:04:21.683
1 John 3:9-10 - you see 
that kind of reality.

00:04:21.683 --> 00:04:25.514
If you're born of God, 
you practice righteousness.

00:04:25.514 --> 00:04:28.492
(Incomplete thought)

00:04:28.492 --> 00:04:29.978
You know the thing about this?

00:04:29.978 --> 00:04:32.782
You know the fact about this

00:04:32.782 --> 00:04:35.360
is that when we talk about the evil

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.981
and the righteous,

00:04:37.981 --> 00:04:42.680
nobody ever thinks they're the evil.

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.941
We have them in this room,

00:04:44.941 --> 00:04:46.997
but you don't think you are.

00:04:46.997 --> 00:04:49.273
The thing is, it's not even just those

00:04:49.273 --> 00:04:50.901
that are caught in the net.

00:04:50.901 --> 00:04:52.960
It's those that are out in the sea still

00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:54.650
that aren't in the net.

00:04:54.650 --> 00:04:56.489
You go around to these homes out here,

00:04:56.489 --> 00:04:58.961
people think they're pretty 
good people, don't they?

00:04:58.961 --> 00:05:02.664
I mean, you go out and ask, it's amazing.

00:05:02.664 --> 00:05:04.792
You can go to a prison

00:05:04.792 --> 00:05:06.831
where people are armed robbers,

00:05:06.831 --> 00:05:08.420
murderers, and rapists,

00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:09.970
and they're pretty good people.

00:05:09.970 --> 00:05:12.030
They think they're pretty good.

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:12.030 --> 00:05:14.560
You know, who is wicked?

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.192
Hitler. Right?

00:05:16.192 --> 00:05:19.218
Everybody says Hitler. Hitler is wicked.

00:05:19.218 --> 00:05:25.720
You know anybody else that's wicked?

00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.431
You know what Scripture says?

00:05:28.431 --> 00:05:31.071
In 2 Thessalonians 2:12,

00:05:31.071 --> 00:05:33.811
when Jesus comes,

00:05:33.811 --> 00:05:35.348
He is going to condemn -

00:05:35.348 --> 00:05:36.789
now check this out -

00:05:36.789 --> 00:05:38.640
He is going to condemn

00:05:38.640 --> 00:05:46.670
all who had pleasure in unrighteousness.

00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:51.681
You say, "I went to church."

00:05:51.681 --> 00:05:53.462
A profession of faith

00:05:53.462 --> 00:05:56.201
is no guarantee you're saved.

00:05:56.201 --> 00:05:58.663
The fact that you sing the songs

00:05:58.663 --> 00:06:01.320
and even feel good feelings over the songs

00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:03.900
and say "Lord, Lord" in the songs,

00:06:03.900 --> 00:06:05.687
and cast out demons,

00:06:05.687 --> 00:06:08.101
and do many mighty works,

00:06:08.101 --> 00:06:09.430
and all those things -

00:06:09.430 --> 00:06:14.254
the Scripture says there 
are no guarantees there.

00:06:14.254 --> 00:06:17.583
No guarantees.

00:06:17.583 --> 00:06:19.051
Think with me here.

00:06:19.051 --> 00:06:21.461
They had pleasure in unrighteousness.

00:06:21.461 --> 00:06:23.830
That's what you need to ask yourself.

00:06:23.830 --> 00:06:26.640
Can you sit back and watch a filthy movie

00:06:26.640 --> 00:06:28.378
and take good pleasure in that?

00:06:28.378 --> 00:06:30.758
Can you hear a guy tell 
a dirty joke at work

00:06:30.758 --> 00:06:32.900
and you laugh at that?

00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:35.290
I mean, you're just going through life,

00:06:35.290 --> 00:06:36.938
and you're just taking pleasure

00:06:36.938 --> 00:06:37.883
in unrighteousness.

00:06:37.883 --> 00:06:41.109
You take pleasure in gaining money.

00:06:41.109 --> 00:06:43.301
You take pleasure in the things

00:06:43.301 --> 00:06:45.530
that the world takes pleasure in.

00:06:45.530 --> 00:06:47.490
You take pleasure in sports

00:06:47.490 --> 00:06:49.371
or in sewing or gardening

00:06:49.371 --> 00:06:51.870
or whatever it is

00:06:51.870 --> 00:06:53.879
over and above Christ.

00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.472
Christ is not first.
Christ is not chief.

00:06:56.472 --> 00:06:59.200
Christ is not loved.

00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:01.401
(incomplete thought)

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:01.401 --> 00:07:02.780
How about Romans 2?

00:07:02.780 --> 00:07:04.528
"But for those who are self-seeking

00:07:04.528 --> 00:07:05.880
and do not obey the truth,

00:07:05.880 --> 00:07:07.090
but obey unrighteousness,

00:07:07.090 --> 00:07:08.638
there will be wrath and fury."

00:07:08.638 --> 00:07:11.670
All you have to do is be self-seeking.

00:07:11.670 --> 00:07:14.510
Look, you don't have to go through life

00:07:14.510 --> 00:07:17.832
living in the gutter;

00:07:17.832 --> 00:07:20.361
living the life of a prostitute
or a drug addict

00:07:20.361 --> 00:07:22.191
or living in all sorts of heinous sin.

00:07:22.191 --> 00:07:24.487
You can just be a moral person.

00:07:24.487 --> 00:07:27.150
You just want to do life your way.

00:07:27.150 --> 00:07:30.180
You're self-seeking.

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:31.701
You know, you'll look pretty good,

00:07:31.701 --> 00:07:33.231
pretty respectable.

00:07:33.231 --> 00:07:35.531
You'll even go to church,

00:07:35.531 --> 00:07:38.649
but God forbid Jesus Christ

00:07:38.649 --> 00:07:42.460
command your life totally,

00:07:42.460 --> 00:07:46.849
and you forsake all and bow at His cross.

00:07:46.849 --> 00:07:48.388
Just self-seeking.

00:07:48.388 --> 00:07:50.118
Taking pleasure in unrighteousness.

00:07:50.118 --> 00:07:51.669
These are the people in the end

00:07:51.669 --> 00:07:53.889
who are these bad fish.

00:07:53.889 --> 00:07:56.311
And they're separated from the good.

00:07:56.311 --> 00:07:57.389
They're separated.

00:07:57.389 --> 00:07:59.264
They're tossed out.

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:59.264 --> 00:08:03.160
The test is not whether 
you make a profession.

00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.449
It is the fruit of your life.

00:08:05.449 --> 00:08:06.839
That's why in the end,

00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.009
we're going to be judged

00:08:08.009 --> 00:08:09.770
based on our works.

00:08:09.770 --> 00:08:11.457
You say, aren't we saved by faith?

00:08:11.457 --> 00:08:14.262
Well, yes. Then why are 
we judged by works?

00:08:14.262 --> 00:08:17.619
Because true faith always produces

00:08:17.619 --> 00:08:19.579
love for Christ.

00:08:19.579 --> 00:08:22.008
It always produces a love for His ways,

00:08:22.008 --> 00:08:23.490
a love to be ruled by Him,

00:08:23.490 --> 00:08:26.560
a love for His commandments.

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.039
That's always the case.

00:08:28.039 --> 00:08:29.719
The love of Christ.

00:08:29.719 --> 00:08:33.058
Brethren, you have the other parable.

00:08:33.058 --> 00:08:34.831
The man's walking along 
through the field

00:08:34.831 --> 00:08:36.049
and finds the treasure.

00:08:36.049 --> 00:08:37.730
He goes and sells all that he has

00:08:37.730 --> 00:08:39.420
so that he can have the treasure.

00:08:39.420 --> 00:08:41.470
I'll tell you what, that's forsaking all.

00:08:41.470 --> 00:08:43.457
Why? Why will a man forsake everything?

00:08:43.457 --> 00:08:44.852
Because he's found something

00:08:44.852 --> 00:08:46.159
that's a greater treasure.

00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.059
And when people's eyes are truly opened

00:08:48.059 --> 00:08:50.920
to behold the glory of God 
in the face of Jesus Christ,

00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:53.051
they will abandon everything.

00:08:53.051 --> 00:08:54.887
They will abandon. And you know what?

00:08:54.887 --> 00:08:57.130
You don't have to be 
around people too long.

00:08:57.130 --> 00:09:02.190
you can tell people who 
are religious church-goers

00:09:02.190 --> 00:09:05.900
versus somebody who loves Christ.

00:09:05.900 --> 00:09:08.620
I mean, you can tell.
You can tell the difference.

NOTE Paragraph

00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:10.117
I was just reading about

00:09:10.117 --> 00:09:13.650
one of those first Great Awakenings -

00:09:13.650 --> 00:09:16.387
Daniel Rowland - he was a key

00:09:16.387 --> 00:09:18.600
Great Awakening figure out of Wales.

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.879
And he said this: lost men love doctrine.

00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.179
I'm not saying saved 
men don't like it too,

00:09:25.179 --> 00:09:28.679
but his very point was 
lost men love doctrine.

00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.242
Saved men love Christ.

00:09:32.242 --> 00:09:33.929
Oh, you can get somebody

00:09:33.929 --> 00:09:36.410
that wants to argue all the 
five points of Calvinism

00:09:36.410 --> 00:09:40.009
and they want to argue 
the supralapsarianism

00:09:40.009 --> 00:09:41.439
Sam was talking about before.

00:09:41.439 --> 00:09:42.860
They want to argue election.


00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:45.198
They want to argue about all these things.

00:09:45.198 --> 00:09:47.260
Bottom line, you can 
tell the true Christian

00:09:47.260 --> 00:09:49.580
despite what his theology might look like.

00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:51.201
They can be Arminian to the core,

00:09:51.201 --> 00:09:52.911
but you can tell people 
when you're around them,

00:09:52.911 --> 00:09:54.659
they are surrendered to Christ

00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:56.691
and they love Him.

00:09:56.691 --> 00:09:58.119
And they walk in the light

00:09:58.119 --> 00:10:02.382
of the glory of Him.

NOTE Paragraph

00:10:02.382 --> 00:10:03.642
Let me tell you this.

00:10:03.642 --> 00:10:07.410
Men and women are thrown into hell.

00:10:07.410 --> 00:10:09.039
They're not just put there.

00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.250
They're thrown there.

00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:14.320
It is like a repulsive thing.

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.301
It's these holy angels.

00:10:16.301 --> 00:10:18.410
(incomplete thought)

00:10:18.410 --> 00:10:23.999
It's like, even a man like Paul could say,

00:10:23.999 --> 00:10:27.489
right there as he's 
wrapping up 1 Corinthians

00:10:27.489 --> 00:10:29.400
at the end of chapter 16,

00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:32.411
he says let everybody be cursed

00:10:32.411 --> 00:10:35.968
who does not love the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:10:35.968 --> 00:10:37.691
It's that kind of thing.

00:10:37.691 --> 00:10:39.453
They find these fish

00:10:39.453 --> 00:10:41.100
who they were in the church,

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:42.761
they were among God's people.

00:10:42.761 --> 00:10:44.576
They got pulled in.

00:10:44.576 --> 00:10:46.258
They're like that one that's found

00:10:46.258 --> 00:10:49.261
at the wedding without the garment on.

00:10:49.261 --> 00:10:51.131
They're naked. They're filthy.

00:10:51.131 --> 00:10:52.971
They're nasty. They're vile.

00:10:52.971 --> 00:10:54.493
And these angels,

00:10:54.493 --> 00:10:56.299
it's like they're so repulsive

00:10:56.299 --> 00:10:57.960
they're just cast.

00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.191
They're thrown. They're rejected.

00:11:00.191 --> 00:11:03.461
Men are thrown into hell.

00:11:03.461 --> 00:11:06.940
It is a fearful thing.

00:11:06.940 --> 00:11:08.698
You know, one thing that's just true

00:11:08.698 --> 00:11:10.861
of every one of us?

00:11:10.861 --> 00:11:12.860
You know how the Scripture says

00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:14.700
God is no respecter of men.

00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:17.961
We are respecters of men.

00:11:17.961 --> 00:11:21.730
The truth is everyone of us 
in this room respects ourself.

00:11:21.730 --> 00:11:24.410
I mean, there are things we 
just would not want done.

00:11:24.410 --> 00:11:26.988
Somebody throwing us into hell.

00:11:26.988 --> 00:11:30.082
People will say, "My God's not like that."

00:11:30.082 --> 00:11:31.670
But let me tell you something,

00:11:31.670 --> 00:11:34.081
the God of the Scriptures is like that.

00:11:34.081 --> 00:11:35.870
And the problem is

00:11:35.870 --> 00:11:38.002
it doesn't have so much to do with

00:11:38.002 --> 00:11:40.461
what God's like -
well, it does in a great way,

00:11:40.461 --> 00:11:42.754
but it has a lot to do 
with what you're like.

00:11:42.754 --> 00:11:45.524
You see, people have a very 
high view of themselves.

00:11:45.524 --> 00:11:48.141
You know what it takes

00:11:48.141 --> 00:11:51.040
for a holy God to cast sinners

00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:52.509
into hell like that?

00:11:52.509 --> 00:11:54.600
In such a detestable fashion?

00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.221
It has to do with how filthy

00:11:56.221 --> 00:11:58.340
and how ugly and how useless

00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:00.061
and how wicked and how sinful

00:12:00.061 --> 00:12:01.666
you truly are.

00:12:01.666 --> 00:12:03.439
See, we're respecters of self,

00:12:03.439 --> 00:12:05.079
so we generally have

00:12:05.079 --> 00:12:07.348
much higher views of ourselves

00:12:07.348 --> 00:12:08.990
than what we ought to have.

00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:12.952
Even as Christians, that's true.

00:12:12.952 --> 00:12:14.717
But God is no respecter.

00:12:14.717 --> 00:12:17.730
And if He finds you in that net

00:12:17.730 --> 00:12:21.219
in that day by way of His angels,

00:12:21.219 --> 00:12:23.311
if you're found in that net,

00:12:23.311 --> 00:12:27.011
and you're found there in that condition,

00:12:27.011 --> 00:12:30.420
you are going to be thrown away.

00:12:30.420 --> 00:12:32.490
It is going to be violent.

00:12:32.490 --> 00:12:34.219
It is going to be on purpose.

00:12:34.219 --> 00:12:37.329
And God is going to 
be no respecter of you.

00:12:37.329 --> 00:12:41.437
And in that time, the 
age of the net is done.

00:12:41.437 --> 00:12:45.043
Men typically look in this life

00:12:45.043 --> 00:12:46.344
for a second chance.

00:12:46.344 --> 00:12:47.468
You know, we get sick.

00:12:47.468 --> 00:12:49.718
We have this idea we're 
going to get well again.

00:12:49.718 --> 00:12:51.220
You lose a job, you have an idea

00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:52.958
that you're going to get 
another job again.

00:12:52.958 --> 00:12:54.749
And this life is full of second chances,

00:12:54.749 --> 00:12:56.360
but I'll tell you in that day,

00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.770
there will be no more casting of the net.

00:12:58.770 --> 00:13:00.864
There will be no more offer of mercy.

00:13:00.864 --> 00:13:02.838
There will be no more offer of grace.

00:13:02.838 --> 00:13:07.656
No more offer of God's compassion.

00:13:07.656 --> 00:13:09.809
You know what happens?

00:13:09.809 --> 00:13:11.392
They're thrown out there

00:13:11.392 --> 00:13:14.000
and there is weeping 
and gnashing of teeth.

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.709
And I'll tell you one of the things

00:13:15.709 --> 00:13:18.860
that will induce weeping in the damned

00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:21.133
if they were in the net -

00:13:21.133 --> 00:13:23.262
think with me here -

00:13:23.262 --> 00:13:26.938
think with me if you're 
like one of the demons.

00:13:26.938 --> 00:13:31.026
The demons fell into sin.

00:13:31.026 --> 00:13:32.819
The lake of fire has been created

00:13:32.819 --> 00:13:37.790
for Satan and for his demons.

00:13:37.790 --> 00:13:41.349
You sinned. You got what you deserved.

00:13:41.349 --> 00:13:43.130
Justice came.

00:13:43.130 --> 00:13:45.168
You're in the lake of fire.

00:13:45.168 --> 00:13:46.789
It's horrible.

00:13:46.789 --> 00:13:49.566
It's horrible beyond imagination

00:13:49.566 --> 00:13:54.001
because the punishment is horrid.

00:13:54.001 --> 00:13:56.354
But can you imagine

00:13:56.354 --> 00:13:57.961
to be in the lake of fire

00:13:57.961 --> 00:14:00.911
and to be a man or a woman?

00:14:00.911 --> 00:14:02.952
To belong to a race

00:14:02.952 --> 00:14:07.802
to whom a Savior was sent?

00:14:07.802 --> 00:14:08.978
But you know what,

00:14:08.978 --> 00:14:13.687
we support missions in Papua New Guinea.

00:14:13.687 --> 00:14:17.390
What if you're one of those cannibals

00:14:17.390 --> 00:14:21.031
and you died before 
the missionary ever came?

00:14:21.031 --> 00:14:22.420
That's miserable.

00:14:22.420 --> 00:14:23.911
That's miserable being in hell

00:14:23.911 --> 00:14:26.949
and to know you deserved it.

00:14:26.949 --> 00:14:28.978
But how much will it intensify it to know

00:14:28.978 --> 00:14:32.509
that a Savior was sent to your race,

00:14:32.509 --> 00:14:34.618
but you never heard?

00:14:34.618 --> 00:14:40.318
But in creation, there was light.

00:14:40.318 --> 00:14:43.150
You realized there was a God

00:14:43.150 --> 00:14:46.012
and you rejected it.

NOTE Paragraph

00:14:46.012 --> 00:14:49.542
But I'll tell you this,

00:14:49.542 --> 00:14:52.538
to not be like a devil,

00:14:52.538 --> 00:14:55.169
to not be like the cannibal,

00:14:55.169 --> 00:14:58.769
but to be like you -

00:14:58.769 --> 00:15:01.430
to have sat in the church;

00:15:01.430 --> 00:15:04.928
to have sat under the Gospel;

00:15:04.928 --> 00:15:07.519
to have had Christ offered

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:08.672
right before you,

00:15:08.672 --> 00:15:12.310
the cross set up in your sight,

00:15:12.310 --> 00:15:16.740
Christ publicly portrayed as crucified.

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:19.092
If any one of you in this room

00:15:19.092 --> 00:15:22.220
ends up cast away, thrown away,

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:26.039
your weeping will be the most intolerable.

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.140
To know that you had Christ set

00:15:30.140 --> 00:15:32.449
right there before you;

00:15:32.449 --> 00:15:36.380
right there.

00:15:36.380 --> 00:15:38.420
And you chose your sin.

00:15:38.420 --> 00:15:39.950
You would not bow your knee.

00:15:39.950 --> 00:15:42.597
You would rather take 
pleasure in unrighteousness.

00:15:42.597 --> 00:15:44.151
There was some idol in your life

00:15:44.151 --> 00:15:45.259
that you held on to.

00:15:45.259 --> 00:15:46.849
You will weep.

00:15:46.849 --> 00:15:52.319
It will be the most distressing thing

00:15:52.319 --> 00:15:56.630
to suffer punishment rightfully,

00:15:56.630 --> 00:15:59.842
justly like the demons.

00:15:59.842 --> 00:16:01.180
It's horrible!

00:16:01.180 --> 00:16:02.630
But to know,

00:16:02.630 --> 00:16:05.098
I had eternal life -

00:16:05.098 --> 00:16:06.601
not only did I have an escape

00:16:06.601 --> 00:16:10.768
out of this place I find myself in,

00:16:10.768 --> 00:16:15.140
but it wouldn't just to have 
been brought to nothing,

00:16:15.140 --> 00:16:16.921
or annihilated,

00:16:16.921 --> 00:16:19.139
or just to have been 
relieved from the pain.

00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:20.480
There was a Heaven.

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.709
There was a glory.

00:16:21.709 --> 00:16:24.188
There was a Paradise to be had

00:16:24.188 --> 00:16:25.690
and I despised it.

00:16:25.690 --> 00:16:29.051
It was eternal, and 
I rather forsook Christ.

00:16:29.051 --> 00:16:30.691
I turned my back on Him.

00:16:30.691 --> 00:16:32.381
I didn't listen to the preacher.

00:16:32.381 --> 00:16:34.291
I thought more about the football game.

00:16:34.291 --> 00:16:35.820
I thought more about the work.

00:16:35.820 --> 00:16:37.130
I thought more about money.

00:16:37.130 --> 00:16:38.900
I thought more about sex

00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:40.587
and all the gods of this world.

00:16:40.587 --> 00:16:42.710
I thought more about drinking and drugs

00:16:42.710 --> 00:16:45.239
and partying and pleasure and fun

00:16:45.239 --> 00:16:46.670
and being with my friends,

00:16:46.670 --> 00:16:48.901
and I chose that over Christ.

00:16:48.901 --> 00:16:50.777
And I sat there in the church.

00:16:50.777 --> 00:16:52.782
I heard Sam and others

00:16:52.782 --> 00:16:54.071
stand in that pulpit,

00:16:54.071 --> 00:16:56.134
and week after week, I heard it,

00:16:56.134 --> 00:16:58.041
and I rejected it.

00:16:58.041 --> 00:17:00.259
I went out and I shook myself

00:17:00.259 --> 00:17:01.571
like Samson did,

00:17:01.571 --> 00:17:03.688
and I just blew it off.

00:17:03.688 --> 00:17:07.777
I wanted those demons to come like birds

00:17:07.777 --> 00:17:09.167
and pick the seed away.

00:17:09.167 --> 00:17:10.609
I wanted it.

00:17:10.609 --> 00:17:12.384
I tried to douse my conscience.

00:17:12.384 --> 00:17:14.800
I didn't want to feel it.

00:17:14.800 --> 00:17:16.950
And it says not only do they weep,

00:17:16.950 --> 00:17:20.619
it says they gnash with their teeth.

NOTE Paragraph

00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:23.082
Christ is altogether lovely.

00:17:23.082 --> 00:17:25.080
He is altogether glorious.

00:17:25.080 --> 00:17:27.551
And there isn't a thing in this world

00:17:27.551 --> 00:17:29.031
that is worth holding on to

00:17:29.031 --> 00:17:30.221
because you know what?

00:17:30.221 --> 00:17:32.141
There isn't a thing in this world

00:17:32.141 --> 00:17:34.760
that you're going to 
be able to hold on to.

00:17:34.760 --> 00:17:37.649
It's all going to be taken away.

00:17:37.649 --> 00:17:40.148
I mean, what a fool that person is

00:17:40.148 --> 00:17:41.700
to hold on to something

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:43.662
and reject Christ,

00:17:43.662 --> 00:17:46.420
that they're going to 
lose in the end anyway.

00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:48.552
Absolutely foolish.

00:17:48.552 --> 00:17:51.686
Jesus Christ was nailed to that cross

00:17:51.686 --> 00:17:55.491
and He bore the wrath of God Almighty.

00:17:55.491 --> 00:17:57.769
He drank that cup.

00:17:57.769 --> 00:18:00.260
Even in anticipation of it,

00:18:00.260 --> 00:18:02.759
He said, "I sorrow unto death."

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.342
Even the contemplation by the Son of God,

00:18:06.342 --> 00:18:09.651
the mighty Son of God even contemplating

00:18:09.651 --> 00:18:14.616
what horrors lie in wait for the damned,

00:18:14.616 --> 00:18:18.041
that He must drink on 
behalf of His people.

00:18:18.041 --> 00:18:21.891
The Son of God - it brought Him

00:18:21.891 --> 00:18:23.570
to the point of death.

00:18:23.570 --> 00:18:25.428
He sorrowed unto death.

00:18:25.428 --> 00:18:27.840
He sweat great drops of blood.

00:18:27.840 --> 00:18:29.670
And He went to that cross,

00:18:29.670 --> 00:18:31.699
and the sun forbeared to shine

00:18:31.699 --> 00:18:33.420
and the wrath of God Almighty

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:36.971
fell upon Him.

00:18:36.971 --> 00:18:40.032
The weeping and gnashing of teeth is real.

00:18:40.032 --> 00:18:41.841
He bore my weeping

00:18:41.841 --> 00:18:43.811
and my gnashing of teeth.

00:18:43.811 --> 00:18:44.958
He bore it.

00:18:44.958 --> 00:18:47.469
Full, poured on His head.

00:18:47.469 --> 00:18:50.558
I am free.
