Text: John 5

EVERYONE FEARS JUDGMENT

If we are truly honest with ourselves, we must acknowledge that we fear the judgment of God. We fear the ultimate judgment from God we know that we have sinned against Him!

WHAT PEOPLE WILL DO WHEN THEY FEAR JUDGMENT

Many are the things people will do when they do not want to think about the Judgment of God.

1. Denial

(a) Many deny that there will be judgment

(b) Some go further and deny that there is even a God

(c) Some others will block out any thought about judgment

2. Rejection

(a) Many reject the concept of Judgment

(b) Some think that if they reject Judgment, then it will not come to pass

3. Defiance

(a) Some defy the idea of Judgment

(b) Some others sin even more as an expression of defiance

4. Resignation

(a) Some feel that there is no hope

(b) They resign themselves to whatever is their fate

WHAT JESUS OFFERS

There is a better approach and solution to the problem of Judgment. Let us consider what Jesus taught: –

Most assuredly, I say to you,

He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me

Has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment,

But has passed from death into life. John 5:24

1. If we were to face Judgment from God

(a) We will come under condemnation

(b) The sentence will be spiritual death!

2. If we were to have faith

(a) In God who sent Jesus

(b) In Jesus who came to deliver us from judgment

3. The wonderful results: –

(a) We will have everlasting life

(b) We will not come under Judgment from God

(c) We have been passed from death to life

RECEIVING JESUS

Let us respond appropriately to the promise of the Lord Jesus Christ!

1. We have nothing to lose

2. We have everything to gain

3. We can have eternal life through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ

(a) Faith in Jesus as the Messiah sent from God

(b) Faith in Jesus as our Saviour

(c) Faith in Jesus and His promise of eternal life

Begin your journey of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ today! You too can have eternal life through faith in Him.
