Gospel—R. Thonney
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
15.
And.
Those who were present last night.
Who the message from this same chapter, the very same verses I want to read here.
I have no apology to make.
For taking the same verses.
I really felt it laid on my heart by the Lord.
And the Word of God is living.
An operative and sharper than any two edged sword.
Penetrating to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His presence, for all things are naked and open before the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. You may have come in through an invitation this evening to hear a speaker speak the gospel, but our purpose here this evening, dear friend, is not merely to have you in the company of Christians.
Our desire is to bring you into the very presence of God. You have to do with God. You don't have to do with me. You do not have to do with anyone else here in this room. You have to do what your creator God. And this is extremely solemn.
And I know no better message than what we heard last night very clearly.
Sean, and my only word to add to last night's message is Amen. But I want to read these verses again because I have a real burden on my soul for those who are present who are not ready to take the journey from this world to the next.
When are you partying on your journey from this world? The next?
Can you tell me? If you cannot tell me? You need to know where you're going. You need to have the matter settled now, my friend. God's time is now. Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. Please, if God has told you now, don't tell him tomorrow.
You're putting your soul in danger of eternal damnation in the Lake of fire.
I plead with you to listen.
Three the first few verses of this first chapter, our First Corinthians 15, like our brother read last night. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand, by which also ye are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless.
Ye have believed in vain, for I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received.
How that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures?
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day.
According to the scriptures.
Just that far, you're the apostle Paul is speaking to those who profess to be believers in the Lord Jesus, and I'm speaking to many here this evening.
Who profess to be believers in the Lord Jesus?
But my burden is this evening that there are some here who are going under the pretense of a false profession.
An empty profession. Yes everybody says sure he's a Christian, but down deep in your heart you know you're not real with God yet. You're just following on your parents shirt sleeves. You are just coming along under their profession and you haven't made it your eel in your own soul.
I fear that there's far, far too many. Perhaps right here.
That fit into that category.
The had it burned into my soul.
When we lived in Bolivia.
In the eastern section, the Amazon basin.
00:05:03
Area there in the Santa Cruz region.
When we lived in a little town called Montero for about 10 years.
When we first arrived there.
There was a young man.
Who helped build the house that we put up in that town?
And he was a professing believer. He had been baptized.
He was breaking bread.
And he even accompanied me when I went on visits to little groups of believers out into the jungle areas.
Didn't seem to know too much, but since many are new believers in the Lord Jesus, I didn't expect that.
But after a time when our home was built, I lost contact with him. He went off to work in some other area and it must have been about four or five years. The last complete contact with this Jaime Martinez, his name was and.
About five years later, like I say, I met him in a marketplace.
I said to him, Jaime, where have you been? I haven't seen you for so long. Oh yeah, I'm coming back. I'll be back one of these days.
And I said, how is it with you and God, Jaime? Yeah, I'll be back to the meeting sometime, don't worry.
And.
I lost contact again.
Those who have been in Montero, you know it's a town of about 40 to 50,000 people.
And they have.
Besides the regular taxi service to get you around in the town.
Motorcycles that work as taxis as well.
For a small sum, you can pay them and they'll take you to the air. You can get on the back of it and they'll take you to where you.
Want to go?
About that time these that were working in this service.
Began to appear dead.
To the country areas surrounding Montero.
And one after another they started picking them up and they couldn't track down who was the author of it until one day.
A man appeared on the road had been shot in the head. The bullet had gone around.
His skull not directly into the brain and he didn't lose his life. He was brought into the hospital there in Montero, and he told who had done it. It was Jaime Martinez.
He confessed he was taken into custody.
And under the military regime of Bolivia at that time, he confessed to having killed 12 People.
Not only to have killed them, but to have drunk their blood.
Accustomed with some of the primitive tribes in belief.
I tell you.
I felt.
My hair almost curled to think.
The fact that I had broken bread.
At what I say is the Lords table.
With that man who was a murderer of 12 People.
The city of Monterrey almost mobbed the jail.
And the Army had to be called in and he was transferred to another prison in Santa Cruz.
There was never any sign of remorse or repentance from Jaime Martinez.
And under a military regime, they do not often give.
Trials. They took him out into the country one day under the pretense.
Of investigating where he had sold one of the motorcycles he had stolen from its owner.
And he started to escape and they let him run a little bit and yelled to him and he didn't stop and they pulled out their pistols.
And Jaime Martinez went into eternity.
There's a man in hell I broke bread with.
00:10:06
I don't know.
Comes as an awful serious thing in my mind.
That plead for you?
You're sitting there under the pretense of a false profession. I ask you to in the name of God, to wake up tonight. We're standing on the very edge of the worst, period.
Of the history of this world, the Lord Jesus himself said there's never going to be a time so terrible.
As a time of great tribulation, and we're right there at the edge.
Paul speaks here.
Of those who have believed, perhaps.
In vain? Is it possible to believe in vain?
Yes, friend, it's possible to believe.
In vain. This country is supposedly a Christian country.
It's filled with people who say they're Christians.
But many of them have no living relationship with the Savior of sinners, the Lord Jesus Christ.
They're on their way to a lost eternity, and perhaps they'll not wake up until they sink into death.
Remember the story that was told of a man who.
Had a dog who had a litter of puppies.
And the puppies, they were quite a time after they were born. They never seemed to get to the point to open their eyes. And he figured, finally.
I'm afraid all these little dogs are blind. Best thing would be.
To take them out and get rid of them right now.
And so he took them, put them in an old onion sack.
You know, they're big, you can see through them pretty easily. And he put a few stones in that onion sack as well, went out into a lake and dropped the sack over and as the sack went down with those puppies in it.
Their eyes open.
Friend Satan's power to keep you in darkness.
In oblivion as to your state is in life as soon.
As death comes to take you away from this world, your eyes are going to be opened.
As to the reality of these things we're talking tonight, it's real.
Sin is real to God. Eternity is real. Heaven is real. Hell is real.
You need to wake up.
Fear that this country is full of people who are asleep as to reality.
You know if I can just.
Bring you to wake up.
And to come to the Savior tonight.
Friend, that is my desire. With all my heart I plead to God that your eyes might be open tonight.
Yes, there are those who believe in vain. What does it mean then, to believe to be saved?
Romans chapter 10 and verse 9 says If thou shalt confess.
With thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine.
Heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. The belief that saves, the faith that saves, is a faith of the heart.
You say I believe in God.
The devils believe and tremble. You're doing just as well as they are. But believing in God? Oh my friend, it takes more than that. It takes belief in the heart.
If I can give an illustration that has helped me because I know sometimes people ask how do I know that I believed in my heart?
Little illustration that I read in a pamphlet helped me.
It gives this illustration. Supposing you and I are walking down the street of your town one day and you point ahead and you say, do you see that man up there and say, yes, you tell me. That's a famous heart specialist here in town. He's a real well known doctor.
00:15:10
I believe you, but I don't have any need of any doctor at the moment. It's just a mere belief of the head.
But the moment comes.
A few weeks later when I wake up in the morning and I feel a terrible pain.
And my breast. And I know my heart's bad. And I think of what you told me. And I call for that doctor when he comes to the house, and he stands by my bedside. And I say, doctor.
I'm bad off. Help me. I put your case in my hand and I put my case in your hands.
That's hurt Millie, it's to trust the Lord Jesus to as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God to them that believe on his name. How do you receive Christ?
That verse very simply tells you how you do it. To believe on His name, to trust Him for your soul salvation.
But there are those who believe in vain. In the time of the acts there was a man who was called Simon the sorcerer. He was a great man in the city of Samaria. He was a man who did tremendous works of power. And all Samaria said This is the great power of God, but a greater power.
Then the power of sorcery came to Samaria when Philip came preaching the Gospel of God.
And many were saved, and Simon the sorcerer watched, and he was amazed at the wonderful works of power that Philip did in that city of Samaria.
He had been a great man, but now he is being replaced and so he decided to join himself.
To this great power that had arrived at Samaria, and it says?
Simon believed and was baptized. Everybody was saying, did you hear the news?
The sorcerer of the town got saved. He believed he was baptized. Everybody thought he was right.
For one day, Peter and John, two other apostles, came down to Samaria.
And he watched those two apostles, and he saw them.
Laying his hands on the believers, and by that power giving them the Holy Spirit.
And he sidles up to them and says, offering them some money. He said, will you please give me that power as well? And Peter had to say to them, him, Your heart is not right with God. Repent therefore of this, your wickedness. Simon never had a change of heart. He never repented. He was a great man as a sorcerer.
Now he wanted to be a great man as a Christian.
He wasn't saved, The Bible said he believed, but he believed.
In vain. Is there somebody like that tonight that has come to Christianity just because you want to be respected in your community, but there's never been any vital link of life between your soul and God.
Oh, that you would stand buried out before the presence of God tonight.
We want to speak to you the gospel that is mentioned here.
I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received.
How that Christ died for our sins according to the scripture?
And that he was buried and rose again the third day according to the scripture. Those three mighty cardinal truths of Christianity. Christ died for our sins, according to the Scripture, number one. Number two, He was buried #3 He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
00:20:23
Like to go over those again?
My friend, I make no apology.
That this was the message last night.
This is the living Word of God.
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Oh what a message. Oh what a message. Christ, the Son of God, the creator of the universe, became man in the person of our Lord Jesus and went to the cross of Calvary so that he could die for our sins according to the scripture. Oh, what a message. Tremendous message.
Still remember done in Bolivia.
When time the other brother is present here was with me.
We were in a town called San Juan de Apakany.
And a brother had died.
Down there they do not have the funerals like they do up here.
We were called out there because they must bury within 24 hours in those countries.
And there was the body in the front room, laid on a table.
The little sheet pulled over it.
And we went in.
During the day we sang a few hymns.
Tried to comfort the sister.
And in the evening.
The house filled up with the neighbors and friends.
I still remember the joy it was to my soul.
Since that was a believer who had died to take this scripture, Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture. He was buried, and he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Oh, the hope that rings in a Christian's heart if he really and truly has received this message. Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Will you and I die?
The Lord Jesus doesn't come. Perhaps death may touch these bodies.
Of ours, but Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.
And for those who have accepted Christ and his atoning work of salvation.
Of redemption on the cross of Calvary they will not have to pay for the penalty of their sins because.
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Oh what a message throws my soul to preach that message.
To those people that evening, remember in the high mountain or the mountainous area of Durango in Mexico, preaching the gospel, same gospel.
In a little town called Los Reyes.
That area of the Mexican country is filled with people who wear pistols on their hips and use them quite freely on each other.
And there was a number of men standing around on the porch.
As we.
Gave the gospel. There was one older man. I could still remember him squatting down. There were not enough seats for everybody to sit down.
And he listened intently to the gospel.
He said afterwards I thought that was a bad message that you were going to talk about, but that isn't bad, that's good.
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Oh, what a wonderful message. You know the story, friend. I don't think there's anyone here who hasn't heard the story of what happened when God's beloved Son came into this world.
He spent.
33 1/2 years approximately in this world. The last 3 1/2 years of his life were spent in public service, going preaching the gospel to the poor, feeding the hungry, raising the dead, healing the lepers and all those that were afflicted of demons he delivered them.
00:25:24
Oh, my friend, and every hand he worked works of blessing. But at the end of 33 of those 3 1/2 years of public testimony.
The religious leaders could stand him no longer. They got their hands on him, and they led him away, first of all to their own Sanhedrin judgment group, and they judged him to be worthy of death, even though they couldn't find no positive testimony against him. They led him away to the civil authority in those days.
Who is Pontius Pilate? The Roman governor because the Roman Empire was in power in Judea.
In those days the Jews could not put him to death, so they had to get.
The Romans convinced to do it and finally, even though.
Pilot pronounced his innocence various times.
Pilate washed his hands before the mob that was crying out for Jesus blood.
Friends, I tell you, you cannot wash your guilt away with water. Pilate did not wash his guilt away with water when he washed his hands that day.
Pilot is going to stand before Jesus in judgment one day.
Oh, what a solemn day that's going to be.
And friend, we have to tell you in all sincerity and fairness.
You 2 will stand before God in judgment if you do not have a living relationship with the Savior of sinners, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Well, they condemned him to death. Pilate delivered Jesus to their will.
They took him. Those soldiers beat his back. They used their fists on his face.
His face was so mud, more than any man's. They took his beard and yanked it out.
They put a crown of thorns on his head, they beat his head with sticks, and they led him out to Calvary, I see, outside the city of Jerusalem, that religious city said we have no place for Jesus here, out, away with him. And they took him outside to the hill of Golgotha, the place of a skull, and there they laid the cross on the ground.
And they stretched the Son of God out, and they nailed his hands and his feet.
To that cross with spikes and they lifted him up and let that cross fall into a hole. They had their for him, and there they let him hang.
The Son of God.
Oh friend, what a story of love of God, you know, I often think.
If I looked out the window of my house and saw someone mistreating my boy, I couldn't take it. I'd rush out. I'd intervene.
But God saw what they were doing to His own beloved Son. They saw as they pounded those nails through His hands and His feet.
And Jesus prayed Father forgive them, they know not what they're doing. They He saw it all and God didn't intervene. Why didn't he? Because friend, there was no other way for your soul to be saved.
There was number other way.
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Very hung for three hours, from 9:00 till 12 noon. The religious leaders passed in front of him shouting insults. If you're the Son of God, come down from the you say that God is your father. Let him deliver you now if you really are the Son of God.
00:30:01
There is no answer from God.
Says in Psalms that he said reproach.
Has broken my heart.
And then follow.
Of heaviness.
Now look for some to take pity. There was what, none.
And for comforters.
But I found none.
But what's more, friend?
After three hours, the worst treatment from.
Human hands.
God made everything dark on Mount Calvary outside of Jerusalem.
For three solid hours, from 12 noon to 3:00 in the afternoon.
No one saw what was happening on Calvary.
But it was in those three hours we know according to the prophet Isaiah.
That he was.
Bearing our sins.
Isaiah says he was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with His stripes we are healed all. We, like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way, and God has laid on him Jesus, the iniquity of us all. Yes, friend, in those three awful dark, dark hours of Calvary.
God took my sins and laid them on Jesus.
And that punishment that I rightly deserve to bear.
And the awful darkness of the lake of fire forever. God, let that punishment fall in all its fury on Jesus.
God's righteousness cannot be sacrificed is God. If God is going to save, He's got to do it righteously. He cannot pass over one single sin that you and I have committed. Every sin must receive its righteous do from the hand of God, and it has received it. All those sins of mine, Jesus bore them all.
He took the punishment that I deserved.
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.
There he hung, and at the end of those three awful hours, he cried.
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
God himself forsook Jesus.
That awful time when he was burying the load of our sin.
The end before he gave up his life and died.
He cried. It is finished.
It is finished.
In the Spanish it says.
Consumado S It is consumed, it's all gone.
That judgment that was rightly against me as a guilty Sinner.
Before God is all gone, gone forever.
The work of redemption is complete. He bows his head. He dies the blessed Son of God. See him, friend, in your mind's eye. Can you see him hanging there on Calvary?
Head down, his spirit gone, the Son of God, His face so marred more than any man that crown of thorns beat into his brow.
Dad.
Dead Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture.
As Roman soldier a little later came along.
To make sure that he was dead, he was sent up there to dispatch.
In any of the malefactors, the two malefactors that were.
On either side of Jesus, and to see if Jesus was dead, he was told to.
00:35:01
Kill them.
And so he took his spear, which is like an iron rod, and he broke the legs of the first one. And that first thief went into eternity. He broke the second thief legs, and that thief went into eternity. And he came comes to the middle cross. Jesus is dead already. No man could take his life. He gave it of himself. His own free will he gave.
Himself a sacrifice and an offering to God. That soldier took his spear and plunged it into his side, and out of his side came blood and water. Oh friend, the full payment that God has demanded has been paid.
The price of redemption is paid in full. Nothing more remains for you and I to do.
Jesus paid it all to God's own glory and to the salvation of those who will trust Him as their Savior.
Jesus has taken down from that cross. We heard about it last night.
He was buried.
The third day, he rose again, the women who saw him buried.
There came.
Hoping to anoint his body with oils they had prepared to anoint him with. And when they arrived early, very early on Sunday morning, they found the tomb opened and the tomb was empty.
And when they were standing there bewildered, 2 angels stood by and said.
He's not here. He's risen. He's gone.
Oh my friend, the tomb of Jesus is empty.
What a glorious message. God was so satisfied with the work of Jesus.
His work of redemption on the cross that he said.
I'm raising my son to life again. The price has been fully paid.
If God had not been satisfied with the work of Jesus, He would not have been able.
To resurrect him again to life. The fact that Jesus lives is a fact that the price that he paid.
Satisfied God and now the chief of sinners is already in heaven, friend, and whatever your status is on the social scale, you're a bad person.
Or if you are supposedly a good person, you know a friend you send for all has sinned and come short of God's glory. No one can meet God's righteous standard of judgment. No, you know you're not perfect. You sin, and God's judgment on the whole human race is. There is no difference.
We make differences. We say that fellow, he's a pretty good fellow. That other one back there, he isn't really fit to be living around here. I wish he'd go away. We make differences, but God, who sees not as man sees. He sees the heart. He says there is no difference.
Still remember on the street of Chicago, I've told this story. I know.
In time we were giving out gospel tracts along the street and I approached a well dressed looking gentleman and offered him a gospel tract. What's that? He said. He said it's a gospel tract.
Said, Would you given that to me or go to the part of the city where the bad people live? That's for them.
I said, Sir, don't you realize that God says there is no difference, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. He got rage and mad, stamped his foot and went off down the street. He didn't want to receive God's testimony. Have you received God's testimony?
All have sinned and come short of God's glory. Oh my friend.
00:40:07
This is the message of the gospel that we present to you again this evening.
But in the few remaining moments, I feel a tremendous burden to speak to you.
We cannot force you to accept Christ.
You must do that on your own faith before God.
But it is my solemn responsibility to warn you as to the consequences of what will happen if you do not accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior. This may not be popular, but the only man who never told the lie, the Lord Jesus Christ himself, is the one who warned more about the lake of fire than any other in the whole Bible.
And I want to tell you about it.
Because I'm responsible as I stand here. One day I'm going to stand to before God.
And if I do not discharge my responsibility, I am going to be.
Asked to give an account of why I didn't discharge my responsibility and warning.
Friend judgment is ahead. Then we heard that.
Word last night God commandeth.
All men everywhere to repent because.
He has appointed a day in which he will judge this world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained, having given assurance unto all men in that he hath raised him from the dead.
One of the most well established facts even in secular history, apart from the testimony of Holy Scripture, is the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It's an established historical fact. You can ignore the scriptures, but you still have to face man's own secular testimony in history.
Friend, Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
And according to the assurance of the fact that Jesus rose from the dead.
Every single man, woman and child that has been buried in this world from the beginning of time.
Will come out of their graves wherever they are right now. Only God knows.
They're going to come out of their graves, you say. I don't believe it.
That changes nothing, my friend. It is what God's Word tells us, and it's going to happen whether you believe it or not. Remember, on the outskirts of a town on the mountains of Peru, talking to a.
School teacher one time and he was evidently.
Affected by communist doctrine.
And he said we discussed the question of death.
When we were at college or at university and we decided that the grave ends at all.
I said friend, it's too bad.
But you're not the one that is allowed to decide that question.
God has decided something else, and He says that every man, woman and child is going to rise from the dead. You cannot escape him. You will meet Jesus Christ the Lord, like it or not, believe it or not, changes nothing. You will meet Him face to face someday.
He's coming again.
He has promised to come again.
When he went back to heaven because after 40 days of having.
Been seen here in this world. He was taken back to heaven.
We can say friends with joy in our souls. There is a living.
Man of flesh and bones and the glory of God right now, Jesus.
Christ the Lord.
Powerful to save.
Those who will come in simple faith, you don't have to come up front here right where you are sitting in your seat. Open that heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. He's knocking tonight. He says, behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and and Sup with him and he with me.
00:45:29
The latch is on the inside, friend. No one can open the door but you yourself.
Open it tonight, I plead with you. Open it tonight. Then you will know Jesus as Savior.
But if you continue to refuse the Savior.
Tonight there is a destiny. Your sins.
Must be paid for and if you refuse to accept.
God's provision for your salvation in the redemption work of our Lord Jesus Christ.
You yourself will pay the penalty.
For your sins forever, let's turn to Matthews Gospel to.
Speak about the judgment of the living, because when Jesus returns to this.
Planet Earth.
There are going to be people.
On this world, who will meet him?
Let's read here what's just going to happen in the 25th of Matthew.
And the 31St verse.
When the Son of Man shall come in his glory.
And all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.
And before him shall be gathered all nations.
And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats.
On the left, then shall the King say unto them on his right hand.
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Going down to verse 40, Excuse me, verse 41.
Then shall he say also unto them on his left hand depart.
From me, ye cursed into.
Everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Here's the judgment of the living when Jesus comes again.
He came once in humility. They hung him on a cross.
That was the last time they saw this world, saw Jesus was hanging on that cross. The next time they see him is going to be coming back in the clouds of heaven.
In power and great glory, with the angels of his power. He's going to be accompanied with 10 thousands of his Saints.
And he's going to sit on the throne of his glory, and all nations are going to be gathered before him.
And he's going to divide between them, as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats.
And the sheep are going to be put on his right hand, and the goats on the left. The sheep are ones who have faith in the message of the gospel. The goats are those who have not received the message of the gospel. And what happens to those?
Is it true? Is it possible there may be somebody sitting here tonight who's going to be present at that sessional judgment of Jesus Christ the Lord in that day of the judgment of the nations? It is very possible if you go out of this room rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ.
And the door of salvation shuts.
There will be no more opportunity for you to be saved.
And the moment is going to come when Jesus comes back again, when he will sit on the throne of the glory of his glory, and you will be called.
00:50:03
To stand before him, and he will know at a glance where you belong. You've refused his way of salvation. On the left with his, with the goats.
The figure of the lost.
What is it that he says to them? Oh, friend?
This is not what God wants to do.
Tonight, he's pleading. Come to me.
All you that are labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, Come, he says. But in that day, if you continue to refuse his great salvation, he will have to say what is written here in verse 41.
Depart from me, ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
God never prepared everlasting fire for any human being.
He doesn't want anyone to go there. That's why he's blocked the road to hell with the cross of Christ. He doesn't want you to go there, friend.
He prepared that place for the devil and his angels.
But the person who refuses to accept God's way of salvation?
Is going to accompany the devil and his angels.
An everlasting fire.
This is the truth of the Word of God, not my opinion.
I ask you to solemnly consider it in the presence of God. If you're sitting here undecided, I plead with you tonight to come. Don't sit undecided any longer. How can you rest when you know that you are in danger of everlasting fire?
I just mentioned the other session of judgment. It's going to happen at the end.
Of the world, when this world passes away and out in space is going to be set a great white throne.
And the same person is sitting there, Jesus Christ the Lord, and the books are open. Yes, the record of your life, God has it written in heaven. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the books, because all the dead, when this world passes away, are going to be raised from their graves.
The dead were judged according to that what was written in the books and then it says there was another book.
The book of life in that book, according to Philippians, are written.
All those who have put their trust in Jesus, their names are written there, and at the end of that judgment session there is a soul standing there.
Resurrected in that body that he sinned.
A body, spirit, soul and body. A complete person standing there in space before God.
Naked and he's judged and it says whosoever was not found. Written in the book of life.
Was cast into the lake of fire. This is the judgment of the dead.
And so they're judged from the things written in the books. And then the final.
Proof whether that person was saved or not.
The Book of Life A search is made in the Book of Life. Is his name there? Is it not?
It's not written in the book of life.
That person is taken and cast into the lake of fire. Why does it use that word? Doesn't say he went into the lake of fire. He was cast into the lake of fire. Oh friend, it's so awful.
I can just picture the thing in my mind's eye is the soul, and he sees there's no hope. No hope before him. Those awful dungeons of the damned hell forever.
And he shrinks back, and he's cast into the lake of fire. Friend, sin is a serious thing in the sight of God. God cannot make light of that sin. If you refuse His salvation, that will be your end. With all my heart, I join with all those who are believers in this room to plead with you once again.

In the name of our Lord Jesus to not wait any longer.
To be reconciled to God tonight.
Spray.
Gracious Father.
