It withers false disciples - Mark 4:14-20 b. It disciplines true believers - Hebrews 12:5-8 3. What follows in turn is the judgment of those outside of Christ B. True disciples are those who obey the Lord and endure to the end 1. Salvation involves obedience to the Gospel - to disbelieve is to disobey 2. Thus there can be no thing as a christian murder, christian thief or christian evil doer, or christian busy body 3. It is not that we never sin - 1John 1:8-10 a. But sin is not the characteristic, the habitual practice of our life - 1 John 3:10 b. We are striving towards perfection - 1 John 3:3 4. In our former life we may have been very wicked, but we are no more, and do not identify ourselves any longer with sin - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 II. The Blessing of Salvation is highlighted by Persecution - 1 Peter 4:18-19 A. Jesus described the way of salvation as narrow and not well populated in contrast with the road to destruction B. The eternal perspective 1. For the true disciple, this life with all its trials and tribulations will be the only time of suffering we know 2.

God’s Purposes for Human Civil Government - 1 Peter 2:14 A. For the punishment of evildoers 1. Justice is defined by God in His Holy Word 2. All sins are not crimes; but all crimes are sins a. Crimes are sins to which God gives civil government punishment powers b. For example a false witness - Deuteronomy 19:16-20 B. For the praise of those who do good - Romans 13:3-4 II. When Tyranny Prevails - 1 Peter 3:15-17 A. When you do good and your conscience confirms you are just 1. You have a good properly functioning conscience - Romans 2:14-15 2. A seared conscience - 1 Timothy 4:1-2 B. But when you are mistreated or persecuted for doing good 1. The moral order of the world is inverted - Isaiah 5:20 2. This is the very definition of tyranny 3. But the wicked will still know in their heart of hearts they are doing wrong - they will be ashamed 4. It may be the will of God that you suffer for doing what is good; the Fifth Seal - Revelation 6:9-11 C. When we suffer for doing good, we must look to and remember what Jesus did on the Cross - 1 Peter 3:18 1. Jesus suffered the greatest evil ever done, and committed against the only perfect man who ever walked this earth 2. Yet suffering that great evil accomplished the greatest good that this world has ever known - our salvation 3. We may never know this side of eternity the great good our suffering for righteousness sake accomplished - Matthew 5:10-12 Visit us at: https://www.cefcmd.org Amazing Grace by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/
