Amen and Amen! Thank you, Pastor John for this great testimony brought before us to encourage us to pursue God and His glory more and more in our lives. Praise God!
I've always had a problem with Edwards' Sinner in the Hands of an Angry God. But fortunately, everyone seems to just be paying it lip service, because, so far, I haven't met anyone claiming to believe in his descriptions of hell and actually telling all their friends and family that their love for them is only temporary, and that they look forward to their receiving this treatment eternally. I know, "but I don't want that, I really just want them to avoid such a fate..." Ok, then tell all your friends and family that you wish this on most of their *already deceased* loved ones. Why does nobody say, "not so fast, buddy..." to mourners at funerals, who try to take comfort in the departed at least being "in a better place," if this is the way we're really supposed to think?
@@HearGodsWord My hopes lie with universalism. It's pretty much what Christians believe, anyway, although they won't admit it. If I'm reading you right, how much detail do you go into, when talking to friends and family about the probable fate of their deceased loved ones?
@Christmas-dg5xc we are to preach thr truth; the destination is either heaven or hell when we die until Jesus returns. That's what scripture tells us.
@@HearGodsWord Why won't you be as specific as Edwards was? Was he wrong in being specific, or are you, in not being specific? Don't people deserve to hear the truth?
Philippians 4:4-7😊❤ Hebrews 10:1-18❤( Christ's( or Jesus') sacrifice once for all) Hebrews 10:19-39( A call to persevere) in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( Hebrews 10:1-39). Amen.

For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifice repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship❤. 2 If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshippers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take the sins. 5 Therefore, when Christ❤ came❤ into the world, he said: " Sacrifice and offering ( get it ? ) you did not desire, but a body you prepares for me; 6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. 7 Then I said, " Here I am- it is written about me in the scroll- I have come to do your will O God(😊100%❤).' " 8 First he said, " Sacrifices and offerings, burn offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleases with them."( although the law required them to be made). 9 Then he said, " Here I am; I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy😊❤ ( how? ) through the sacrifice❤ of the body of Jesus Christ( 😊1st❤) once for all( you and me or" all "means "all"). "( Hebrews 10:1-10 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Hebrews 10:11-18 "11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all the time one sacrificed for sins, he( Jesus😊1st❤) sat down at the right hand of God( 😊100%❤). 13 Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, 14 because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. 15 The Holy Spirit❤ also testifies to us❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 about this. First he says: 16 " This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws❤ in their hearts❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ , and I will write them on their minds." 17 Then he adds: " Then sins and lawless acts I will remember no more." 18 And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin."( Hebrews 10:11-18 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) and amen to Romans 8:28❤
Hebrews 10:19-39( A call to persevere) Hebrews 10:19-31 "19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus( :) 1st love), 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the certain, that is, his body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanses us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another- and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, " It is mine to avenge; I will repay, " and again, " The Lord will judge his people." 31 It is dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."( Hebrews 10:19-31 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Because of faith in Jesus and trust God for all in all in Christ. Hebrews 10:36 "36 You need to perservere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised."( Hebrews 10:36 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) Hebrews 10:32-39 " 32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. 34 You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. 35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will :) of God, you will receive what He has promised. 37 For in just a very little while, " He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38 But my righteous one will live by faith( in Christ Jesus).And if he shrink back, I will not be pleased with him." 39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those( those of us) who believed and are saved."( Hebrews 10:32-39 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Just start listening to this but I would disagree on one thing. If Edwards preach that sermon today it wouldn't work we're not the same people who used to be just like a civil war would not work we still would have cardi B's and lawlessness in the streets.
Edwards and Piper are both giants of their ages with a passion for their Lord.
Happy Sabbath everyone have a joyus and restfull day GOD bless !!!
Amen and Amen! Thank you, Pastor John for this great testimony brought before us to encourage us to pursue God and His glory more and more in our lives. Praise God!
In the name of father son and the holy spirit you all are blessed
Thank you Jesus.❤❤❤
I think some of the comments missedthe point of this sermon
I think so to they seem to be confused
Exactly it’s the watering down of the teaching of Gods glory in most churches today to a “comfortable easy” message thst challenges nothing,
We need God not Jonathan Edwards 😢.
We need jonathan Edwards God.
@brokenvessel4171 great response 👍 👏
Did you even listen to the message?
❤❤❤

Truth is hard to hear when most people prefer comfort. That seems to be why you're struggling here.
