THE DOOM OF THE DISOBEDIENT.<\/p>\n
"What shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God?" (1Pe_4:17). <\/p>\n
This is a solemn question Who can answer it fully? It is a question that deeply concerns every one who hears the Gospel. God hath commanded all men everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel.<\/p>\n
I. What is the Gospel? Gospel is simply "good news," or the God-spell; spellbound by the goodness of God.<\/p>\n
1. As to its Source, it is the Gospel of God (Rom_1:1). The good news of God’s love for a perishing world (Joh_3:16).<\/p>\n
2. As to its Channel, it is the Gospel of Christ (Rom_1:16). The good news of a holy life lived, and an all-sufficient atonement made for the sinner.<\/p>\n
3. As to its Purpose, it is the Gospel of Salvation (Eph_1:13). The good news of a perfect deliverance from sin and from the wrath to come.<\/p>\n
4. As to its Nature, it is the Gospel of Grace (Act_20:24). The good news of a full salvation, without money or price, to whosoever will.<\/p>\n
5. As to its Endurance, it is the Eternal Gospel (Rev_14:6, R.V.). The good news that shall never lose its freshness through all the coming ages.<\/p>\n
II. What is required of those who hear the Gospel?<\/p>\n
"Obey." This obedience is shown-<\/p>\n
1. By Believing it. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. He that believeth not God hath made Him a liar."<\/p>\n
2. By Living it. "It is the power of God to every one that believeth" (Rom_1:16). This glad news when received, and the heart and life yielded up to its influence, will transform the whole character.<\/p>\n
3. By Declaring it. "Freely ye have received, freely give."<\/p>\n
III. What shall the end be of those who obey not the Gospel? Not to repent and believe the Gospel is to disobey the command of God (Act_17:30).<\/p>\n
1. It will be the Loss of every Privilege. The broad way leads to the destruction of every hope. To disobey the Gospel is to refuse God’s only means whereby man can recover his lost estate by being reconciled to God (Heb_2:3; Heb_10:29).<\/p>\n
2. It will be the Blackness of Darkness. The blackness and darkness of a lost eternity (2Th_1:7-9; Mat_25:46; Mat_13:40-42).<\/p>\n
3. It will be the Second Death. The doom of those who are cursed because they would not be blessed (Luk_16:23-26; Rev_20:15; Luk_12:5).<\/p>\n
