Heaven Sermon — What if you miss heaven<\/strong>? Sermon outline on the needless tragedy of missing heaven, and that if you miss it, there’s nothing you can do but suffer. By Tom Moore<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION:<\/p>\n

1. We have all had the experience of missing something.<\/p>\n

1) When we miss something we feel frustrated and\/or mad<\/p>\n

2) But, usually, we handle it pretty well…<\/p>\n

a. If we miss the bus, we catch another one.<\/p>\n

b. If we miss an appointment, we make another one.<\/p>\n

c. If we miss a visitor, we go see him.<\/p>\n

d. If we miss a phone call, they’ll probably call back.<\/p>\n

e. If you miss a meal, you can always eat later.<\/p>\n

2. All misses, however, are not as easy to correct as these.<\/p>\n

1) If you miss the April 15 deadline for filing your income taxes there is usually a penalty that must be paid.<\/p>\n

2) I you miss a business deadline, or a payment deadline; there is usually a penalty to be paid.<\/p>\n

3) Sometimes a sick person who misses taking his medicine will suffer because of it.<\/p>\n

3. There are some spiritual implications in these thoughts:<\/p>\n

1) What if you miss a home in heaven!?<\/p>\n

2) Think about that for a minute!<\/p>\n

3) It is a terrible thought isn’t it!<\/p>\n

4) What should you do if you don’t get to go to heaven?<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION:<\/p>\n

I.   The Bible states that some will miss heaven.<\/h2>\n

1. According to Jesus, not everyone will be saved.<\/p>\n

1) Matthew 7:21-23<\/p>\n

2) According to this text there are going to be some surprises in the Day of Judgment.<\/p>\n

3) There will be many who thought they were right, but will be sorrowfully surprised in the Day of Judgment.<\/p>\n

4) Here 2 Corinthians 13:5 comes into play.<\/p>\n

2. Sadly, many will die in sin.<\/p>\n

1) John 8:44<\/p>\n

2) Many will be lost because they died in their sins:<\/p>\n

a. Some KNEW they were in sin.<\/p>\n

b. Some DID NOT KNOW they were in sin.<\/p>\n

c. But, they will still be lost, if they die in their sins.<\/p>\n

3) Isaiah 59:1-2<\/p>\n

a. Why are sinners separated from God?<\/p>\n

b. Habakkuk 1:13<\/p>\n

3. The Scriptures tell that there are few that will go to heaven<\/p>\n

1) Matthew 7:13-14<\/p>\n

a. Most of the world does exactly what they want.<\/p>\n

b. They have the least bit of concern for God’s wishes and requirements.<\/p>\n

2) “The whole world lieth in wickedness” (1 John 5:19)<\/p>\n

a. Here we have another reference to the great number that will miss going to heaven.<\/p>\n

b. Again, few will be going to heaven.<\/p>\n

II.  Why will there be so many miss heaven?<\/p>\n

1. Many will not obey God.<\/p>\n

1) Hebrews 5:8-9.<\/p>\n

a. There will be no salvation without obedience<\/p>\n

b. Jesus was obedient and we must be the same.<\/p>\n

2) Revelation 22:14.<\/p>\n

a. Obedience is a prerequisite to salvation<\/p>\n

b. Many will miss their reward because they refuse to obey God.<\/p>\n

2. Many are filled with pride.<\/p>\n

1) Obadiah 3, 4 … Edom was filled with pride.<\/p>\n

a. This is a major barrier for many in the world today.<\/p>\n

b. Many are too proud to admit they are wrong.<\/p>\n

c. Many are caught up in themselves.<\/p>\n

2) Zephaniah 2:10-15<\/p>\n

a. Destruction was to come to Judah because of her pride.<\/p>\n

b. She said, “I am, and there is none beside me.”<\/p>\n

c. Like Muhammad Ali says, “I’m the greatest.”<\/p>\n

3) James 4:6<\/p>\n

a. Pride will cause many to miss heaven.<\/p>\n

b. 1 Corinthians 10:12<\/p>\n

3. Many refuse to live faithfully<\/p>\n

1) 2 Peter 1:10<\/p>\n

a. Give “diligence” to be sure.<\/p>\n

b. We will go to heaven “if” …<\/p>\n

2) John 8:31<\/p>\n

a. An “if” – “then” statement.<\/p>\n

b. There is no such thing as once saved always saved!<\/p>\n

3) Romans 11:22<\/p>\n

a. There is no way we can go to heaven unless we remain faithful unto the Lord.<\/p>\n

b. God is a God of severity to the unfaithful.<\/p>\n

4. Because of sin.<\/p>\n

1) Isaiah 59:1-2<\/p>\n

a. Sin separates us from God.<\/p>\n

b. Unforgiven sin will cause us to lose our chance of heaven.<\/p>\n

2) James 1:13-15<\/p>\n

a. Sin brings death, separation from God.<\/p>\n

b. Sin is the reason people miss.<\/p>\n

III. What to do if you miss heaven.<\/p>\n

2) Notice some of the people you will share hell with … Revelation 21:8.<\/p>\n

3) These will be your eternal neighbors.<\/p>\n

5. Realize there is no positive thing you can do.<\/p>\n
