Episode 1040: Do God hear the prayer of the sinner before He saves them? Part 1

Hello everyone. In this morning's Bible study we continue with the church at Smyrna looking into the blasphemy of the Jews and the things they did to negatively impact the early church.

One must remember that the early church was initially all Jewish then as Paul's ministry continued its outreach the church became largely comprised of Gentiles.

This is by design of the Lord. As mentioned in Galatians that there are no Jew and Gentile, we are all one in the Lord. This my friend is speaking of people, that is to say, humans and not the nation of Israel.

What then is the difference? The Lord is seeking three witnesses from this current world to reveal all His attributes to the people who will be born in the New Earth.

Angels as a witness that He is the creator because they watched God create the physical part of the world called Earth.

Israel as a witness to the nations that will be allowed to enter the new earth as God formed and chose a single nation out of all the world to show the other nations how to approach, worship, and serve the One True God.

Finally, humans whom the Lord regenerated by creating a new human spirit within their old bodies, adopting them from Satan's kingdom, then giving them His Holy Spirit as a seal until He returns. Each individual is a witness to the love, hope, kindness, mercy, and grace of God the Savior.

The others who remain in their sin will also be witnesses to the humans that will be born on the new earth. They will reveal the Lord's attributes of endurance, patience, much longsuffering, anger, righteousness, justice, judgment, and wrath.

Three different sets of witnesses with one objective. The revelation of the One True and Living God, The LORD God omnipotent, The Lord of hosts is His name.

Today's study is 1 hour and 32 minutes in duration. I have broken it into eight segments. This is segment 7 of 8 titled Do God hear the prayer of the sinner before He saves them? Part 1
