- 0:03This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
- 0:08Waffer, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland, County
- 0:12of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
- 0:16continues teaching through God's Word.
- 0:37At this great White Throne judgment, there's going to be
- 0:39famous people there, there's going to be rock stars there,
- 0:41there's going to be people that did great things on the earth
- 0:44and the world thought they were wonderful, but these people were
- 0:47heathen. They never bowed their knee to
- 0:49Jesus Christ. They never repented of their
- 0:51sin. They never allowed the Holy
- 0:54Spirit to save them because they rebelled against the Lord.
- 0:58The small and the great will be standing there and the books
- 1:01will be open. The Word of God is what judges
- 1:03us. When I preach on Sundays, I'm
- 1:06not judging you and you're not judging me.
- 1:08There is no exception to who you are on the Day of Judgement.
- 1:12Every person, no matter what kind of life they lived on
- 1:15earth, will have to stand face to face with their Maker an
- 1:19answer for their sins. It doesn't matter what kind of
- 1:22glory you lived in on this earth and how wonderful the world
- 1:26thought you were if you didn't glory in the Lord before
- 1:29yourself. Today Pastor Clark teaches us
- 1:32that the judgment behold of each other means nothing in heaven.
- 1:36It's the word that holds judgment against us.
- 1:40Now here's Pastor Clark in Revelation chapter 20 with
- 1:43today's edition of Living Waters of Grace, Revelation chapter 20,
- 1:48verse 7. Now when the 1000 years had
- 1:50expired, Satan will be released from his prison.
- 1:54He will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
- 1:57corners of the earth, Gog and Magog to gather them together to
- 2:00battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
- 2:03They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the
- 2:07camp of the Saints in the beloved city.
- 2:09And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
- 2:14The devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
- 2:17brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they
- 2:22will be tormented night, day and night, forever and ever.
- 2:27Now we see in verse 7 that the thousand year reign, we know
- 2:31that Satan had been locked up. We studied that the last couple
- 2:35of weeks and Christ had dominion.
- 2:38Christ has dominion. Even now we don't grasp that any
- 2:42way the devil can do anything is through the permissive will of
- 2:45God. So the Lord is ruling and
- 2:47reigning. There's never been a second in
- 2:50human history or the history of the universe that Christ has not
- 2:54been ruling and reigning supreme.
- 2:57But we are in a world right now where the devil is loosed and
- 3:00he's causing a lot of problems for people and blinding people
- 3:04to their need of a savior. He's causing problems for us too
- 3:07as Christians, causing us to be lukewarm and indifferent and
- 3:11apathetic and lazy about following of the Lord many times
- 3:16causes us to be distracted and focused on things that aren't
- 3:20going to last. That's part of the battle that
- 3:22we go through as Christians and the warfare.
- 3:25But when these thousand years have expired, there's going to
- 3:29be one more shot that Satan will have after he's been locked up
- 3:32in the abyss. He's going to be let out of this
- 3:35prison. And you might say, well, why
- 3:36does this happen? Why would God do this?
- 3:38We have to realize that there's a lot of people being born
- 3:41during the Millennium, people who are born just like we are
- 3:44born in sin. Many of them will grow up coming
- 3:47to faith in in Messiah, but there will be some that will
- 3:51refuse to believe on Christ during that millennial Kingdom.
- 3:54There'll be this outward form of respect that's like the law.
- 3:58OK, I don't want to break the law and get in any trouble.
- 4:00But down deep inside these people will be haters of God.
- 4:04And so those who are alive at the end of that thousand year
- 4:06reign their whole interest and they'll they'll merge together
- 4:09with the devil at that time as one last shot to overthrow the
- 4:13Kingdom. They won't win.
- 4:15Impossible. But this will happen.
- 4:17And this is what this is discussing here.
- 4:19They'll go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
- 4:22corners of the earth. Gog and Magog and and this
- 4:24battle is a little bit different than what you read about in
- 4:27Ezekiel 37 and 38. That battle was tied in more to
- 4:31toward the end of the tribulation.
- 4:33We call it Armageddon. But this battle of Gog and Magog
- 4:36here is going to be a war that's over as soon as it starts.
- 4:40The Lord is going to pour out his vengeance and his anger upon
- 4:44these people who are coming against the beloved city of
- 4:47Jerusalem at this time to destroy the camp of the Saints
- 4:50and fire, it says in verse 9, will come down from God out of
- 4:53heaven and devour them. So it's not really even a war
- 4:57that's going to be over like that.
- 5:00And the devil, which is exciting here now, will finally the one
- 5:04who's deceived people since the beginning of time will be cast
- 5:07into the lake of fire and brimstone where you might want
- 5:11to underline this, the beast and the false prophet are there's no
- 5:14annihilation in hell. People that go to hell are
- 5:19tormented day and night, forever and ever.
- 5:22And it tells you that at the end of verse 10, they will be
- 5:25tormented day and night, forever and ever.
- 5:30Some people think when you die, that's it.
- 5:32Some people laugh. Well, I know I'm a Sinner and no
- 5:35big deal because when I die, I'm going to be with my friends.
- 5:38We're going to party down there and these crazy ideas of what
- 5:41the afterlife is like. But there will be no parting.
- 5:44There'll be no sense of togetherness.
- 5:46You'll be alone by yourself and your own thoughts and your own
- 5:50horror, being tormented day and night forever and ever.
- 5:53And some people will say, well, God is a God of life.
- 5:56Why would he create such a place called hell?
- 5:59Why would there have to be such a place for people to go to?
- 6:02Well, we have to keep in mind it says in Matthew 2541 that the
- 6:06devil, hell was created and prepared for the devil and his
- 6:09angels. God never intended one of His
- 6:12creatures like us to have to go to hell.
- 6:17It tells us in Peter He's not willing that any should perish,
- 6:20but that all should come to repentance.
- 6:22But in his justice he has to be faithful and true to His
- 6:27Holiness. There will be no sin in the
- 6:29Kingdom of heaven now. We're all sinners here today.
- 6:32Even though many of us have been born again and we know Jesus
- 6:35Christ, we still sin. We don't want to sin anymore,
- 6:38but we still are in this world, in this physical body, and we do
- 6:41stupid things. Now, as we grow in the Lord,
- 6:44we're doing less stupid things, I would trust.
- 6:46We're becoming more like Christ day in and day out, and we're
- 6:50becoming more conformed to the image of His Son living as
- 6:53Christ lived on the earth nonetheless.
- 6:55So there is this problem that the human race has, and those
- 6:59who don't know Jesus Christ are going to be cast into this lake
- 7:03of fire forever and ever. Now there's two judgments.
- 7:07There's a judgment seat of Christ if you turn to 2nd
- 7:09Corinthians 510, and there's a great white throne judgment.
- 7:13And I want to make a distinction in that this morning, because
- 7:15there's sometimes some confusion about these various judgments.
- 7:19The Christian, the believer, won't be at the great white
- 7:22throne. Judgment.
- 7:23This is a judgment for unbelievers.
- 7:25The judgment that you and I have to face when we leave this life.
- 7:29It's appointed on demand once to die.
- 7:30And after this, the judgment. Our judgment is Second
- 7:33Corinthians chapter 5, verse 10. For it says, for we must all
- 7:38appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may
- 7:41receive the things done in the body according to what he has
- 7:44done, whether good or bad. And then the next verse it says,
- 7:49knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men, but
- 7:53we are well known to God. And I also trust our well known
- 7:56to your consciences. Now when I have to stand before
- 7:59the Lord and give an account of my life, I'm going to be
- 8:01fearful. I'm not going to be proud or
- 8:04thinking I got it all together and, and no big deal, even
- 8:07though I know that Christ has saved me.
- 8:09It's going to be a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
- 8:12living God because all the sudden everything will be
- 8:15revealed to me very clearly of what my motives have been on
- 8:19earth, why I did the ministry, why I did whatever I did.
- 8:23God will test everything as with fire to see if these things were
- 8:28done for the glory of Christ or for the elevation of our own
- 8:31self will our own self esteem, whatever it might be.
- 8:35We can fool one another, but we can't fool the Lord and the Lord
- 8:39will test these things. The Bible says that some will be
- 8:42saved as though by fire. If you turn over to 1st
- 8:45Corinthians chapter 3, it gives a little bit more light on this
- 8:48particular judgment. First Corinthians chapter 3,
- 8:53verse 5, it talks about this aspect of watering, working,
- 8:59serving the Lord, warning people, and as Christians, our
- 9:02job, all of us is what I'm doing is I'm sowing seed, right?
- 9:07It's my job to sow the seed of the Word of God.
- 9:10The Holy Spirit puts it in your hearts.
- 9:13Some of us will come along after this message today, and they'll
- 9:17water the message. They'll say, hey, you know, we
- 9:19studied about hell and we studied about lost people and
- 9:22people who need a savior. And what do you think about
- 9:25that? And we'll challenge each other.
- 9:27We need to be praying more. We need to be more interested in
- 9:30sharing our faith. We're watering what God has
- 9:32already planted. And then some of us will begin
- 9:35to warn people about their eternal destiny.
- 9:39And Paul is saying about these different people that serve God
- 9:42and different callings. He says in verse five, who then
- 9:45is Paul and who is Apollos? But ministers through whom
- 9:48you've believed as the Lord gave to each one.
- 9:51I planted Paul saying Apollos watered, but God gives the
- 9:54increase. None of us can save anybody, but
- 9:58we sure can do an awful lot of other things.
- 10:00And today we're planning the word of God.
- 10:03We're sowing seed and hopefully all of us will water this seed
- 10:08that's been planted today, but only God can give the increase.
- 10:11God's anyone that can bring life out of death.
- 10:13And it says in verse 7, so then neither he who plants is
- 10:16anything nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
- 10:19So it's a marvelous thing to realize that I'm nothing today
- 10:24and you're nothing not in a sense of being not important to
- 10:28God. He loves us and values us and
- 10:30and is watching us to do the things that he commands us to
- 10:33do, but we can't make anything happen.
- 10:36It takes the pressure off of us. I don't have to try to whip you
- 10:39guys up into some kind of state of emotional frenzy to try to
- 10:42get you excited about the like, I can't do that.
- 10:45I could do that and you might say.
- 10:46Well, you know, that was good. I'm, I'm all charged up.
- 10:48I'm going to go do this for God, you know and all.
- 10:50That but then you go out and about 5 minutes down the road if
- 10:53this goes down because the flesh can't profit anything, only the
- 10:57Spirit gives life and so again it's God.
- 11:00To God be the glory for great things he has done.
- 11:04It says that he who plants and he who waters are one.
- 11:06We're one and the same thing. God isn't saying, because I'm
- 11:09pastoring today and I'm planning the word, that I'm any more
- 11:12important than the one who's going to water.
- 11:15Each one will receive his own reward according to his own
- 11:17labor. For we are God's fellow workers,
- 11:20and you are God's field. You are God's building.
- 11:23So we're all in this together, serving the Lord together
- 11:26according to the grace of God which was given to me as a wise
- 11:29master Builder Laid the foundation, another builds on
- 11:33it. But let each one take heed how
- 11:35he builds on it. For no other foundation can
- 11:37anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
- 11:41And in this church, the only foundation is Jesus Christ.
- 11:46We're all building upon him. We're not building upon my
- 11:49ministry or the guy that will take over someday when I'm no
- 11:53longer here. It's Jesus Christ, we're laying
- 11:56upon him and him alone. It says that if anyone builds on
- 12:01this foundation with gold, silver and precious stone or
- 12:03wood, hay and straw, each one's work will become clear for the
- 12:07day, will declare it because it will be revealed by fire and the
- 12:11fire will test each one's work of what sort it is.
- 12:14So in my own mind, at times I've had this analogy of like a
- 12:18conveyor belt and I'm sitting on this belt and I see this big
- 12:22oven ahead of me. Now it's not going to destroy my
- 12:24soul because I'm saved, right? But everything's going to be
- 12:28like an MRI. God's going to be able to see
- 12:31every little nuance of my thought life, my heart.
- 12:34I mean, it's all clear. And I'm like trembling because
- 12:37I'm thinking, what does he know that I don't know at this point
- 12:40in time? And he knows everything that I
- 12:42don't know, right? He knows the end from the
- 12:44beginning. And so I'm going in through this
- 12:47samurai, the spiritual MRI of gods.
- 12:49And my prayer is that when I go through that, oh Lord, I pray
- 12:52there's some value to the short life I've lived on this earth,
- 12:56that somehow I know I wasted a lot of years.
- 12:59I've done a lot of dumb things. But I pray I finish well so that
- 13:02when I come out, there isn't this big puff of smoke and
- 13:05there's nothing. He looks at me and I look at him
- 13:07and it's just like, and the Bible says there'll be tears.
- 13:10And I believe the tears are going to come for those of us
- 13:13who suffer great loss because it's going to dawn on us.
- 13:16We had this time on earth to serve him.
- 13:18We wasted our life. We squandered it, we blew it.
- 13:21And there's nothing to give to him for all eternity.
- 13:24And then by the grace of God, if I come out of the other end and
- 13:27all of a sudden I see these jewels, gold, silver, precious
- 13:31stone laying around my body there, it isn't to bring any
- 13:35glory to me. It's the Lord is saying, Clark,
- 13:37I was able to use your life to give me glory.
- 13:41And all these things that you see are representative of things
- 13:44that are going to last throughout all eternity.
- 13:47And the beautiful thing is I don't wear these things and I
- 13:50don't put them on. And and someone says, well, he
- 13:52counted for eternity, but he did none of that.
- 13:55We'll take those things and we'll lay them at the Lord's
- 13:58feet. What a blessing that will be
- 14:01that we come out of that spiritual MRI and we have some
- 14:05sense of substance for the the life we live.
- 14:08It says if anyone's work in verse 14, which he had built on
- 14:12it indoors, he will receive a reward.
- 14:14If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself
- 14:18will be saved yet so as through fire.
- 14:21I pray there's none of us here that are thinking, well, the
- 14:24least I'm going to be saved. That's good enough.
- 14:27No, you don't want to. You don't want to live with that
- 14:29kind of focus. You want to live so that there's
- 14:32this fruit coming out of your life.
- 14:34And so we go back to Revelation and we look at this great white
- 14:37throne judgment, which is extremely sobering.
- 14:42We see that in verse 11. I see this great white throne
- 14:47and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the
- 14:50heaven fled away and there was found no place for them at the
- 14:55end of time. The elements are going to burn
- 14:57this present world, the heavens and the earth, it won't exist
- 15:01anymore. So there's no place to run and
- 15:03hide at that time. We can't hide behind a mountain
- 15:06or a tree or everybody's in the open here at this great white
- 15:10throne judgment preparing for this final judgment.
- 15:12Next week we'll look at the beauty of the new heaven and the
- 15:15new earth that Christ will establish.
- 15:17And because it says the first earth has passed away in
- 15:20Revelation 21 verse one, but the small and the great, it says in
- 15:25verse 12 are standing before God and the books are open.
- 15:29Now today we got all these great athletes we're going to watch.
- 15:32Some of them are born again. Some of them know Christ.
- 15:35Some of them are going to play for the glory of God and some of
- 15:39them are going to play for the glory themselves.
- 15:41The saddest thing to read about is men who played in the Super
- 15:44Bowl years ago. They have a ring that are
- 15:47selling their ring on the streets to pay bills or to get
- 15:50drugs. It's tragic that you can have
- 15:52all that glory and all that fame and all that success and no one
- 15:56remembers you anymore. It's it's a tragic thing.
- 15:59And at this great white throne judgement, there's going to be
- 16:01famous people there. There's going to be rock stars
- 16:03there. There's going to be people that
- 16:05did great things on the earth and the world thought they were
- 16:08wonderful, but these people were heathen.
- 16:10They never bowed their knee to Jesus Christ.
- 16:12They never repented of their sin.
- 16:14They never allow the Holy Spirit to save them because they
- 16:18rebelled against the Lord. The small and the great will be
- 16:22standing there and the books will be open.
- 16:24The Word of God is what judges us.
- 16:26When I preach on Sundays, I'm not judging you and you're not
- 16:29judging me. The Word is what judges us all
- 16:32and sets us all in line with what we need to consider and
- 16:37repent of and be established. And these books are open, it
- 16:40says. And another book was open, which
- 16:42is the Book of life. And the dead were judged
- 16:45according to their works by the things which were written in the
- 16:48books as unbelievers. It doesn't take a whole lot of
- 16:53time for God to reveal to you or me, if we're still lost, that
- 16:59we're guilty before God. We know it in our hearts.
- 17:02The Holy Spirit convicts us. We can blow it off and say,
- 17:04well, I can get saved later. I don't want to get saved now.
- 17:07I don't think I need. We can have all kind of mental
- 17:10gymnastics in our minds for putting off the inevitable, but
- 17:13one day the inevitable will occur.
- 17:15And this is when there's no place of any appeal.
- 17:20There's one judge, and he's Jesus Christ.
- 17:24There is no jury. There's no defense attorney at
- 17:29this judgement. There's any prosecution and
- 17:32there's a verdict. You're guilty.
- 17:34And whosoever is found not written in this book will be
- 17:37cast into the lake of fire. That's the verdict.
- 17:39And there is no appeal. You can't say, oh, wait a
- 17:41minute, this isn't fair, I don't like this.
- 17:44There's no ability to say anything.
- 17:46Every mouth will be stopped and every tongue and every knee will
- 17:50bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is
- 17:53Lord to the glory of God the Father.
- 17:55What a horrible thing to understand that in its fullest
- 18:00sense at that point in time, and then only know that you have all
- 18:04eternity to suffer and be in torment and hell.
- 18:08Paul says today is a day of salvation.
- 18:10If you hear his voice today, repent today.
- 18:13You might be here without a Savior, without Christ, and
- 18:16you're hearing the Holy Spirit say something to you that you
- 18:20need to be saved today. You can't leave this place
- 18:23unless you let Jesus Christ save you it.
- 18:26It's very, very clear for your heart knows it.
- 18:29And Paul says don't put off tomorrow what you know you need
- 18:32to do today. Repent and ask Christ to be your
- 18:36Lord and be your Savior today. If you hear his voice, it says
- 18:40in Hebrews 47, Harden not your hearts.
- 18:44Wherefore in Hebrews chapter 3 verse 7, as the Holy Ghost saith
- 18:49today, if you will hear his voice.
- 18:52Second, Peter 39 says Christ is not willing that any should
- 18:56perish, but that all shall come to repentance.
- 18:59So let's look at some verses regarding hell today.
- 19:01So we're all on the same page. Hell is not a fashionable
- 19:04subject to preach on. Many evangelical churches are
- 19:07trying to downplay the reality of hell because they don't want
- 19:10people not to come to church. Hell makes people uncomfortable,
- 19:14it makes unbelievers fearful, and it makes believers convicted
- 19:17because we know maybe we're not sharing the gospel.
- 19:20And so pastors seem to think, well, it's better that we don't
- 19:23really talk about this subject a whole lot.
- 19:25Let's talk about some things that are more positive, you
- 19:28know, but the, the Bible is full of warnings.
- 19:30And this morning we are in this text and we have to be faithful
- 19:34to see what it is that the Lord wants us to all understand.
- 19:37So that when we leave here today, there's not one of us
- 19:39that are going to leave here not knowing that hell is literally a
- 19:41real place. And we're going to read the
- 19:43descriptions of what the Bible says regarding this place.
- 19:46Hell. The first place I want you to go
- 19:48to is Mark Chapter 9, verse 44. Look at the context.
- 19:54He's talking about Jesus warning of offenses.
- 19:56Whoever causes in verse 42, one of these little ones who believe
- 20:00in me to stumble, be better for him if a millstone were hung
- 20:02around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
- 20:05If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
- 20:08It is better for you to enter into life maimed rather than
- 20:11having two hands to go to hell into the fire that shall never
- 20:15be quenched. Where in verse 44 their worm
- 20:19does not die and the fire is not quenched.
- 20:23It's an everlasting fire continually, forever and ever
- 20:27and ever. I mean, I don't know about you,
- 20:29but when it's really, really hot, I don't like being in real
- 20:32hot temperature for a long period of time.
- 20:34I want to find air conditioning. I get in the car, I want to put
- 20:37the air on. I don't like sitting in the seat
- 20:39when your back sticking to the seat and the sweat's rolling
- 20:42down your brow. You know you're cutting the
- 20:44grass and it's a real hot day and all you can think is I just
- 20:47need a glass of water to quench my thirst.
- 20:49In hell, there will be no water to quench your thirst.
- 20:52It'll be constant torment forever and ever and ever.
- 20:55I go to the Y and work out a couple times a week.
- 20:57I go into the steam room and all the guys are sitting around in
- 21:01there and we just sort of talked and I can't take it very long.
- 21:04I mean, some of those guys, it just seemed like they can stay
- 21:06in there forever. And after maybe 5 minutes, I
- 21:09can't wait to get out of that place.
- 21:11I couldn't imagine to be in hell, which is going to be a
- 21:14million times worse than the hottest steam bath that you
- 21:16could ever be in, that you don't get any relief.
- 21:18That is ongoing onward forever and ever.
- 21:21Now I have relatives that still don't know Jesus Christ.
- 21:25We eat with them, we have holidays with them, we love
- 21:28them, and they still will not come to Christ.
- 21:33I need to be able to see them in that hell now so that somehow no
- 21:37matter what happens, I need to keep telling them they need
- 21:42Jesus not to ignore the subject because it makes them
- 21:45uncomfortable. Or maybe we've covered it before
- 21:48many, many times and they didn't repent.
- 21:50So you just figure I'm just going to give up.
- 21:51There's no sense talking to him. I don't see Jesus or the
- 21:55apostles ever stopping warning people about their need of a
- 21:59Savior. They never grew weary.
- 22:01They never got tired of telling people they need to repent for
- 22:05the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.
- 22:07The next section is Luke chapter 16, verse 23.
- 22:13This is the story of the rich man, the Lazarus.
- 22:16I'll start in 19. There was a certain rich man who
- 22:19was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously
- 22:21every day. And there was a certain beggar
- 22:24named Lazarus, full of swords, who was laid at his gate,
- 22:27desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich
- 22:30man's table. Moreover, the dogs came and
- 22:32licked the swords. So it was that the beggar died
- 22:35and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom.
- 22:38The rich man also died and was buried, and being in torment in
- 22:41Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and
- 22:45Lazarus in his bosom. Now before the gospel and before
- 22:49the resurrection, there's this holding place where the Old
- 22:52Testament believers were. It was called the bosom of
- 22:55Abraham. And the other side was the
- 22:57compartment, if you may, of a prison called Haiti.
- 23:00So all the unbelievers were in there, and they're still there
- 23:03waiting for the final judgment. And so this rich man is able to
- 23:08see this beggar, and he is in torment, it says in verse 23.
- 23:13And in being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and
- 23:16saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.
- 23:19And he cried, and he said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me
- 23:21and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in the
- 23:25water and cool my tongue, for I'm tormented in this flame.
- 23:28Think about the day that you had the greatest thirst, that you
- 23:32were begging for water. I had my appendix out when I was
- 23:34in 9th grade. They couldn't give me water
- 23:36because I had perinitis all through my body and they had
- 23:39tubes running in. They almost died and I remember
- 23:41making promises to God. I hear the bells at Seton Hill.
- 23:44I didn't even know who God was at the time, but I heard the
- 23:46bells in the conviction. I said, God, if you get me
- 23:49through this, I'll follow you. All the days of my life I lie.
- 23:52When I got out of that hospital, I went back to my sinful ways.
- 23:57Thanks for being with us today here on Living Waters of Grace.
- 24:01We are in the Book of Revelation, and we find it
- 24:03fascinating how influential and involved the angels are in this
- 24:08book. They bring about whatever it is
- 24:11that God has instructed them to do, but it's through their
- 24:15actions that much of the judgements come on the earth.
- 24:19The angels are in submission to God as their authority, but He
- 24:22utilizes them in unique ways throughout this book.
- 24:26Like angels have a specific purpose from God, you have a
- 24:30unique purpose and plan too. God wants to use you in your
- 24:34life as a testimony to others and to bring others who are
- 24:37currently lost into the fold of God.
- 24:41God would love more than anything for all who are willing
- 24:44to come to Him for salvation, but he wants it to be their
- 24:47choice, not a forced situation. This is the way God works, not
- 24:53forcing himself on anyone, but giving each person free will.
- 24:58If you're interested in learning about this choice that's free
