Conclusion:

Oh, what a day is coming for the people ofGod!

The only way for us to see the peace of Israelis for the Lord to come again and to administer the judgment that is due upon a lost and sinful world!

But folks, I want you to remember something this morning… II Peter 3:9 tells us that “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

That means that God wants to save these wicked people and to deliver them ALL from the wages of sin, which is eternal death and separation from God in that awful place called Hell!

The fact is, as we read in Romans 10:12-13, “…there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

But the question remains, as we see in Romans10:14 where God is asking, through the Apostle Paul, “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”

Folks, never forget that were it not for the grace of God, you too could still be lost in your sin TODAY!

We need to see the spiritual condition of those around us and we need to ask God to give us a burden for those lost souls!

The Bible reminds us in Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Now, who amongst us will go and tell them before it is eternally too late?
