Man if this doesn't make us want to them all then I sure don't know what will. I was reading in 1 Peter this morning and came to 1 Peter 4:18 it says:
"If the righteous are scarcely saved, Where the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
I didn't quite understand it at first so praise the Lord for footnotes; this is what the footnotes said:
Scarcely saved: No one deserves to be saved, and no one is able to be saved his or her good works. Since everyone deserves condemnation, the fact that anyone is saved is solely the result of God's grace.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
Appear: If God does not hold back judgment from His own people, imagine the end of the enemies of God who have no one to justify them before Him.
"The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish." Psalm 1:4-6
"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:11-15
If reading this doesn't make us want to tell the world that Jesus lives and is real then I don't know what will!
