John 3:16
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
The Unpopular Reality: We are all perishing.
“Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son” (John 3:18).
The world is already condemned.
Our condemnation is personal.
Our condemnation is total.
Our condemnation is eternal
John 3:36, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.”
4. Our Condemnation is irreversible
The New Testament clearly depicts hell as a state of conscious pain
In hell we will realize how serious our sin really is
We will realize how just God really is
God will finally give us over to that which we have embraced all of our lives
We will realize how endless suffering really is
The Unprecedented Rescue: God is all-pursuing.
John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day
His salvation is personal
His Salvation is total
His Salvation is eternal
His salvation is irreversible
In heaven
We will realize how glorious grace really is.
We will realize how merciful God really is.
We will realize how endless satisfaction really is
Rev. 21:1—7
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.’ He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ He said to me: ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son’
A Choice
Trust in Your Savior or Trust in Your Self
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”
(Rom. 10:9).
