Subject: Confessions
Main content: The wicked will surely perish.
1. Introduction
The wicked perish. The wicked prevail now, but that is by no means the will of God. They exist only for as long as necessary because they are necessary. Whatever a man sows, he reaps what he sows. If we had obeyed God's Word, we would now reap the seeds of happiness, but even though we say we believe, even at this moment, we are sowing the seeds of sin. Just as a farmer is doing ‘pisari’ under the hot sun of the month of May, the advanced leaders of faith and dedicated workers are preaching the gospel while bearing all the pain of the sun of the month of May.
This is because it is the heart of a farmer who wants to save even a few grains, and it is the will of the farmer. “If God lives, why must the servants of the Lord and sincere saints suffer?” The question is, however, not everyone knows. Everything is purely voluntary.
I. The wicked will surely perish (1-4).
A. Everything is private.
1. Nineveh's sin is the fact that many people's blood was shed.
1) There is bloodshed of direct murder. it's murder
2) There is indirect bleeding. Blasphemy, human rights violations, and contempt are all indirect murder.
2. Nineveh's second sin was lying, violence, and lawlessness.
1) Falsehood, illegality, and violence are inextricably linked.
2) Violence is necessary to justify a lie, and illegality is mobilized to subdue violence.
3) Now, it is a problem we face on the skin, and it is the biggest problem of suffering.
3. Whatever a man sows, he reaps what he sows.
1) Decreased from the position of the conqueror to the position of being conquered,
2) I was in a situation where I was killed in the position where I was killing the enemy.
B. Never envy the wicked.
1. Right now it may seem that the wicked live and prosper.
1) People only want to see the good and the enviable side. In other words, it is a negative mind to look at the beans in other people's rice and compare it with your own.
2) They do not want to see their end. only envy the present.
2. If possible, we should do good and sow the seeds of righteousness. Because that is the shortcut to getting well and blessed on earth, because it is the will of Heavenly Father.
II. Destruction has a reason and a purpose (5-7).
A: Because of sin.
1. He said he had sinned like a whore.
1) Being a prostitute is a dirty job selling sex.
2) Sex was given by God as a symbol of production. It is a deep truth that in order for a life to be born, it is necessary to experience the joy of sexual life. Therefore, castles are treasures to be treasured, and they are like life.
2. He said that he would take off the clothes that covered his body and show his naked body. It is a punishment for revealing hidden shame.
Everyone values their self-esteem.
3. Not only that, but it is said that filth is sprinkled on the naked body to make it demeaning.
4. In the end, it is said that everyone who sees it scares them, avoids them, and makes them laugh. Not only that, it's a punishment for having no one to comfort you with your pity.
5. It is God's will to let you know how terrible the consequences of sin are.
B. Sin and destruction are not other people's business.
1. We are all living close to sin.
2. None of us is brave enough or clean enough to be free from sin. Anyone can become a slave to sin.
3. Sinners must be judged. There are no exceptions. So God intervenes in the wicked and works according to God's providence.
4. If there is no judgment, the world will be in a state of chaos where even the slightest order does not exist.
conclusion
1. The prosperity of the wicked is only temporary. Never envy their prosperity.
2. There must be a referee. Without judgment, God is dead.
3. As long as God lives, all the wicked will be judged.
