-
We have been given a new life in Christ Jesus so that we can do works; so that we can repent; and so that we can forgive. We can, and we should.
-
We do not forgive others based on whether we think they deserve it or not. We forgive because God forgave us when we were unforgivable! Take heed!
-
Whether God chastises or punishes in time or He condemns for all eternity, it is a dangerous thing to live in and encourage immorality.
-
A man in his natural, fallen state cannot believe and therefore will not believe even if it helps himself.
-
Heaven and hell are both real, and they are both populated.
-
The biggest error behind both of these types of judgments is that we think we can tell who is a child of God and who is not. This leads us to self-justification comparing ourselves to others.
-
God knows our needs. He feels out pains. For all eternity, we will be with Him resting in “The Bosom of Abraham.”
-
God laughs at the intentions of the wicked especially when they think they can outsmart God or avoid the consequences of their sins. To God, their words are like “blah, blah, blah.” They mean nothing!
-
The world will gladly receive us and cast away just as quickly. Only Jesus has promised to never cast us out.
-
Rather than doing the right thing, wicked people will do anything they can to maintain their standing before men and improve their worldly position. Their “wisdom” is not a godly one. It is a form of pride and self-justification.
