My God and My Country

2Peter 3:9; Ezekiel 33:11; 1Timothy 2:4 (GNVT)

9 The Lord of that promise is not slack (as some men count slackness) but is patient toward us, and would have no man to perish, but would all men to come to repentance. 

11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O ye house of Israel?

4 Who will that all men shall be saved, and come unto the acknowledging of the truth.

Brethren:

A special study this morning. It is without a doubt that we live in troubled times. Yet I urge you all to remember that ALL lives are precious to our Creator. To suppose that one life is better than another is to insult Him, for He created us equally. Friends I urge you this morning to remember this fact and I understand that it is difficult for men to grasp this concept, and yet, it is true. But with God, nothing is impossible. He can, and will come into your hearts, turn you around and open your eyes and ears to the Gospel of Christ. Please brothers and sisters come to Christ, and accept His sacrifice for your sins and allow yourselves access to the Creator, for none can come to the Father except through Him.

“Had these scoffers considered the dreadful vengeance with which God swept away a whole world of ungodly men at once, surely they would not have scoffed at his threatening an equally terrible judgment. The heavens and the earth which now are, by the same word, it is declared, will be destroyed by fire. This is as sure to come, as the truth and the power of God can make it. Christians are here taught and established in the truth of the coming of the Lord. Though, in the account of men, there is a vast difference between one day and a thousand years, yet, in the account of God, there is no difference. All things past, present, and future, are ever before him: the delay of a thousand years cannot be so much to him, as putting off any thing for a day or for an hour is to us. If men have no knowledge or belief of the eternal God, they will be very apt to think him such as themselves. How hard is it to form any thoughts of eternity! What men count slackness, is long-suffering, and that to us-ward; it is giving more time to his own people, to advance in knowledge and holiness, and in the exercise of faith and patience, to abound in good works, doing and suffering what they are called to, that they may bring glory to God. Settle therefore in your hearts that you shall certainly be called to give an account of all things done in the body, whether good or evil. And let a humble and diligent walking before God, and a frequent judging of yourselves, show a firm belief of the future judgment, though many live as if they were never to give any account at all.” - Matthew Henry
