The Seven Seals (Rev. 6:1-17; 8:1) (Part 9)

Conclusion: Having established that the wrath of God is not something you want to experience, a message such as this should stir you to consider four things.

1. It should stir you to consider the seriousness of your sin. It is called 'sin'; it is not called an excuse, an inconvenience, a shortcoming, a dysfunction or a disease. Sin has a serious consequence – death.

2. It should stir you to consider the state of your salvation. God won't take your salvation from you, but it is possible for you to relinquish it.

3. It should stir you to consider the state of other people's salvation. After hearing a message like this, you can't sit by and watch a rebellious, dying world position itself to be hit by a Mack Truck they don't know or believe is coming.

4. It should stir you to consider the serenity of your Savior.

• That Jesus wouldn't pour out His full wrath now!
• That Jesus would withhold the fullest outpouring of His wrath until an appointed time!
• That Jesus would think of you, that He would send people to you to explain the gospel and live it before you!
• That Jesus would allow you to be in church today to hear this sobering news and be warned how to flee from the wrath to come!

What hope!  You can avoid the wrath of God! Jn. 3:36 > “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” If you don't want the wrath of God to remain on you, then you must believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, and obey Him.
