Acts 24:25 (NET)While Paul was discussing righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, I will send for you.”
Today, there is a conscious effort by some to remove the warning about the judgment of God from the preaching of the gospel. Any gospel message that does not properly explain the ramification of Jesus’ salvation from impending judgment is a weak gospel. One main point of the gospel message is that receiving Jesus is the only way to escape the impending damnation (see John 3:18).
From today’s Bible verse, we can clearly see that one element of the gospel message preached by the apostles was “The Judgment of God”. When in the days of the apostles, people they preached to asked ‘what shall we do [to be saved]?’(see Acts 2:37, 16:30) they asked this question because they understood that there is impending judgment and doom, and they wanted to be saved from it.
Go into today remembering that there is coming judgment on all humankind. The only way to escape it is through the salvation of Christ Jesus.
Prayer: Ask the Lord to make you more effective in helping people escape eternal damnation by preaching the gospel to them.
