JUDGES 3:12-22
Pastor Rick
Jackson
I. NOTE
THE PARTICULARS
1. It Is A
Personal Message [v. 19-20]
-Be sure
your sin will find you out.
- The soul
that sinneth, it shall die.
-Come now,
and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow…
-Come unto
me all ye that labor..
- Go ye into
all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature
It may be a
universal message, but it is personal.
2. It Is A Powerful
Message [v. 21-22]
- He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son
shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
- And Jesus
came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in
earth. Go ye therefore
- I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth;
3. It Is A
Permanent Message [v. 23-25]
- He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son
shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
- And beside
all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which
would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would
come from thence.
II. NOTE
THE PERSON – This is
not “our” truth, it is His Truth
1. It is God’s
Judgment [Rm. 6:23] The wages of sin is death
2. It is God’s
Justice [Psalms 89:14, Is. 9:7]
-Justice and
judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy
face.
Of the
increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of
David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and
with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will
perform this.
3. It is God’s
“Justness” [Isaiah 43:15, 2 Tm. 2:13, Rm. 3:26]
- If we
believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
-I am the
Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
- To
declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the
justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
III. NOTE
THE PRIORITIES
1. It is a
Message of Choice [v. 12-14, Hebrews 11:31]
By faith the
harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received
the spies with peace.
2. It is a
Message of Christ [3:14, Ruth 1:16-22]
3. It is a
Message of Consequence [Hebrews 4:1-3a]
Let us
therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of
you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as
well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed
with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest
