1 00:00:00,970 --> 00:00:05,030 All false concepts of God must be laid 2 00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:09,110 aside if a man has any hope of 3 00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:10,910 getting to Christ for salvation. 4 00:00:11,890 --> 00:00:14,570 It is very dangerous to hold to an 5 00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:18,230 opinion that God does not send people to 6 00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:22,190 hell, that God is such a loving God 7 00:00:22,190 --> 00:00:25,570 that he will not punish sin is a 8 00:00:25,570 --> 00:00:27,350 contradiction to my Bible. 9 00:00:27,350 --> 00:00:33,470 All men outside of Christ ponder God's condemnation 10 00:00:33,470 --> 00:00:36,970 and await a future day when the sentencing 11 00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:39,730 of the law will be carried out against 12 00:00:39,730 --> 00:00:40,270 them. 13 00:00:40,870 --> 00:00:44,590 That man must be made aware of the 14 00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:48,830 strictness of God's unbanding law so they won't 15 00:00:48,830 --> 00:00:51,250 be exposed to its severity. 16 00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:55,850 Men must be brought to see the malady 17 00:00:55,850 --> 00:00:59,550 of the badness of their heart before they 18 00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:02,490 will seek a remedy for sin in the 19 00:01:02,490 --> 00:01:04,390 person of Christ Jesus. 20 00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:09,730 But the modern church refuses to preach searching 21 00:01:09,730 --> 00:01:14,390 sermons that awaken sinners to their lost condition 22 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:18,550 and perilous position outside of Christ's blood. 23 00:01:19,070 --> 00:01:22,510 That there is a future judgment that awaits 24 00:01:22,510 --> 00:01:26,530 all mankind where every mother's son will stand 25 00:01:26,530 --> 00:01:29,630 before the judge of all the earth as 26 00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:33,470 the books are opened and whosoever is not 27 00:01:33,470 --> 00:01:35,990 found written in the book of life will 28 00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:39,450 be cast into a lake of fire. 29 00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:46,370 Eternal damnation is a terrible frightening thing where 30 00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:49,670 God's wrath for sin is poured out upon 31 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:51,670 all guilty sinners. 32 00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:56,390 In Malachi we read the dangers of damnation 33 00:01:56,390 --> 00:01:59,710 and the fury of God's anger which will 34 00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:03,470 burn as an oven for behold that the 35 00:02:03,470 --> 00:02:06,430 day cometh that shall burn as an oven 36 00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:10,210 and all the proud yea and all that 37 00:02:10,210 --> 00:02:13,870 too wickedly shall be stubble and the day 38 00:02:13,870 --> 00:02:17,470 that cometh shall burn them up saith the 39 00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,410 Lord of hosts that it shall leave them 40 00:02:20,410 --> 00:02:22,670 neither root nor branch. 41 00:02:22,950 --> 00:02:25,530 When I was just a boy in high 42 00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:28,770 school I worked at a local grocery store 43 00:02:28,770 --> 00:02:31,650 and one of my duties was to take 44 00:02:31,650 --> 00:02:35,350 the cardboard boxes that the produce came in 45 00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:38,310 and flatten them out with a box cutter 46 00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:41,570 and then stack them on a two-wheeler 47 00:02:41,570 --> 00:02:44,250 and take them back to the back of 48 00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:46,810 the store where there was a cast iron 49 00:02:46,810 --> 00:02:49,230 furnace and then burn them. 50 00:02:49,510 --> 00:02:53,270 I'll never forget the sensation I got every 51 00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:56,790 time I opened that heavy furnace door because 52 00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:59,090 as soon as I did my face would 53 00:02:59,090 --> 00:03:02,170 be singed from the intense heat of those 54 00:03:02,170 --> 00:03:03,910 white hot flames. 55 00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:08,950 But men lie in their natural condition and 56 00:03:08,950 --> 00:03:11,590 feel no danger as a man in a 57 00:03:11,590 --> 00:03:14,670 deep sleep will not be brought out easily 58 00:03:14,670 --> 00:03:16,590 from his lethargy. 59 00:03:17,010 --> 00:03:20,770 Many men do not believe in a literal 60 00:03:20,770 --> 00:03:24,430 hell and if they did they flatter themselves 61 00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:28,090 that they're not bad enough to go there. 62 00:03:28,310 --> 00:03:31,790 They believe that their God would never send 63 00:03:31,790 --> 00:03:34,710 them to hell as to damn them in 64 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:38,730 eternal darkness and fire and God speaks of 65 00:03:38,730 --> 00:03:43,170 such misled individuals who face being damned in 66 00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:44,390 hell forever. 67 00:03:45,070 --> 00:03:49,290 He writes in Psalm 36 too he flatters 68 00:03:49,290 --> 00:03:54,010 himself in his own eyes until his iniquity 69 00:03:54,010 --> 00:03:56,270 be found to be hateful. 70 00:03:56,830 --> 00:04:00,330 A good preaching should imitate that of Christ 71 00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:04,130 who warned against the dangers of damnation. 72 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:08,210 It is better that one of the members 73 00:04:08,210 --> 00:04:11,750 should perish and not that the whole body 74 00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:14,190 should be cast into hell. 75 00:04:14,870 --> 00:04:18,490 Jesus warned his hearers abroad is the gate 76 00:04:18,490 --> 00:04:21,650 and wide is the way that leadeth to 77 00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:25,810 destruction and many there be that go in 78 00:04:25,810 --> 00:04:26,690 there at. 79 00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:32,110 Christ peppered his teachings with continual warnings to 80 00:04:32,110 --> 00:04:34,670 avoid damnation and hellfire. 81 00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:39,530 The angels shall cast them into a furnace 82 00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:40,290 of fire. 83 00:04:40,970 --> 00:04:44,110 There should be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 84 00:04:44,650 --> 00:04:47,850 A good preaching will warn of the danger 85 00:04:47,850 --> 00:04:52,710 of damnation and bring out its terrors to 86 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:55,830 such an alarming degree and be pressed with 87 00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:58,850 such force as to make men to be 88 00:04:58,850 --> 00:05:01,850 shot out of a cannon of carnal security. 89 00:05:02,530 --> 00:05:05,130 The tears of the law and the threatenings 90 00:05:05,130 --> 00:05:08,510 of damnation should drive men out of their 91 00:05:08,510 --> 00:05:12,590 false hopes and false refuges and blast them 92 00:05:12,590 --> 00:05:13,170 away. 93 00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:16,490 Men must be brought out of themselves and 94 00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:20,290 brought unto a bleeding and dying savior for 95 00:05:20,290 --> 00:05:20,790 sin. 96 00:05:21,330 --> 00:05:25,310 The shock and surprise of dying in one's 97 00:05:25,310 --> 00:05:28,390 sins to wake up in hell will be 98 00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:31,390 alarming as Isaiah declares. 99 00:05:32,050 --> 00:05:35,470 The sinners in Zion are afraid. 100 00:05:36,110 --> 00:05:41,690 Fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites who among us 101 00:05:41,690 --> 00:05:44,990 shall dwell with the devouring fire. 102 00:05:45,150 --> 00:05:50,250 Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings. 103 00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:53,750 Men must be driven out of their carnal 104 00:05:53,750 --> 00:05:57,450 security as Lot was driven out of Sodom 105 00:05:57,450 --> 00:06:01,650 where they too will perish in the firestorm 106 00:06:01,650 --> 00:06:05,910 of God's outpoured wrath on sin forever and 107 00:06:05,910 --> 00:06:08,110 ever in a burning hell. 108 00:06:08,730 --> 00:06:10,630 Repent before it's too late.
