-Now is the day of salvation and preparation, 2 Cor. 6:1-2; Rom. 13:11-14.

III. WHERE WE HOPE TO STAND ONE DAY, 1 Pet. 1:3-5.

A. Before the Throne of God and Before the Lamb in Eternal Glory, Rev. 7:9-17.

1. Persevered through trials, 7:14 (1 Pet. 1:6-8).

2. Washed by blood of Lamb, 7:14; Rom. 6:3 (1 Pet. 1:19; Rev. 5:9); 1 Jno. 1:7-9.

3. Reward: Eternal life and service, needs fully met, peace, safe, and comfort, 7:14-17 (21:4-7; 22:1-5).

B. This is Where Sinners Will Not (be Able to) Stand, Rev. 6:12-17.

1. No escape from the wrath of God, which will be just, full, complete, and eternal (6:15-17).

2. The impenitent hearts of sinners treasure up wrath, Rom. 2:5-6.

Conclusion

1. We rely on the strength of the Lord to stand – never on ourselves (Eph. 6:10, 13).

2. This resolve of faith compels us to be faithful servants, steadfast soldiers, maturing Christians and obedient followers of Christ, Col. 3:17.

3. “I am Resolved.”
