Sermon by Bro Jason McNeese, pastor of Rural Retreat Baptist Church in Rural Retreat, VA:
The Life of Lot
A Character Study
Sermon #8
The Belief of His Life
Text: II Peter 2:4 - 9
Vs4 – 1st Example
Vs5 – 2nd Example
Vs6 – 3rd Example
Vs9 – 4th Expression
God Possess the Authority to Destroy/Damn
There is no question mark regarding Hell/life after death in the Bible!
The rich man – he died and was buried and in hell he lifted up his eyes!!!!!
There is no doubt about the judgment of God!
The devil’s lie – tell Eve as she stands over Abel’s casket!
He Spared Not the Angelic Beings – Vs4
He Spared Not the Antediluvian World – Vs5
He Spared Not the Awful Wickedness of Sodom & Gomorah – Vs6
Genesis 18:25 “That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
Are you ready to be judged? God is a Judge and He will judge every one!
God Possess the Audacity to Distinguish
He was not Personally Righteous
Lot had no Distinguishable Testimony! – Abraham vs Lot
The Basics of His Life – A Life of Inseparability – Status, Stuff
He was Positionally Righteous
The Bargain for His Life – A Conditional Bargain – “righteous”
Is your life distinguishable from the world around you?What is it about your life that sets you apart?
God Possess the Ability to Deliver
But He Spared Lot & He Spared you and me!!! Grace, Grace, Wonderful Grace!!!
Ephesians 2:8, 9 “lest ANY MAN should boast”
Hebrews 11 Every one mentioned in this chapter was spared by FAITH!!!
He Spared Not the Only Begotten – Romans 8:32
“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”
