    Getting the Gospel Right

    Subscribe ▼ Show Notes The word Gospel means good news. It is the good news that the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles proclaimed to a lost world of sinners. Both Jews and Gentiles. The essence of the Gospel is the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ and how the benefits of His life, death, resurrection and ascension are realized in the lives of individuals. The focus of this study won’t just be the study of the details of this good news, but it will include a focus on how a sinner can be saved. The Good News Scripture teaches that any sinner can be saved by grace only through explicit repentant faith in the finished work of Christ alone. The gospel is offered to every human being by God’s grace – His unmerited favor. This is apart from human performance before or after conversion. Christ is the only way of salvation. No one can be saved apart from trust in the merits of His saving death and resurrection. This new birth and right standing with God are given instantaneously upon the exercise of saving faith, but there is a process by which unbelievers come to trust in Christ for salvation, and true believers are able to have assurance of their ultimate salvation.

    What Will Eternity Be Like

    Subscribe ▼ Show Notes The last two chapters of the Revelation focus on the New Heaven, the New Earth, and the New Jerusalem. Everything John wrote in this book comes together beautifully in these final two chapters. Our Eternal Hope I am overwhelmed by the first paragraph in chapter 21. He will wipe away every tear, and mourning, pain, and death will be no more. What a beautiful promise about our eternal hope. The implications of sin, the former things, are passed away. All things are new. The suffering in this world is used by God for our good and His glory. That truth anchors us soundly in Him. However, John’s description of the New Heaven and New Earth points us to an eternal life without suffering and pain. I can’t fully imagine this, but I love trying to imagine what it will be like. Rest in His Promise Praise God for His faithfulness. He is immutable, and we can rest in His promises. The veil will be removed, and God Himself will be with us! Amen! He will be our God, and we will be His sons. What a glorious truth this is! This informs the perspective we should have today. It answers the questions we struggle with. This is our motivation, our focus, and our God, who loves us and gave Himself for us, will bless us richly for all eternity. Thank you for listening to Relentless Truth.

    The Book of Life

    Subscribe ▼ Show Notes God uses signs and symbols to communicate powerful truth in the Revelation. But we can read and interpret this book of the Bible literally. Christ’s Reign Great mystery surrounds the events discussed in Revelation 20. The millennium is a one-thousand-year period, but we are uncertain about events that precede it and follow it. We know that Satan is bound in the bottomless pit by an angel with a chain during this period. We know that we will reign with Christ on the earth, and we know that Satan will be released at the end of this period for one final act of rebellion against God. The wrath of God will be poured out one final time during this epic triumph over evil. It is shocking that people will still be deceived by Satan into opposing God during this period. This chapter says those who oppose the Kingdom of God will be significant in number. The Final Judgement The final judgment of Satan and the false prophet will occur, and they will be cast into the lake of fire for all of eternity. All sin will be judged at this point. Thankfully, those of us who are in Christ will not be judged because our names are written in the Book of Life. We will not encounter the wrath of God! Next week we will look at the New Heaven and New Earth. We will see that God will dwell with us and will wipe away every tear. Praise God for these beautiful promises. This is the great hope that we have in Jesus Christ our Lord. Thank you for listening to Relentless Truth. Please share this episode with your friends and family.

    The Most Important Event in Your Life

    Subscribe ▼ Show Notes What is the most important event in your life? How would you answer this question? Many of us would reference our salvation, but beyond that, we might reference our wedding, career accomplishments, athletic accomplishments, or surviving an illness, or even the death of a family member or beloved friend. Almost without exception we would think of events that have already occurred. Revelation 19 talks about three events that are the most important events in our lives. They are yet to come, and they are explained in some detail in this chapter. This chapter is one of the most significant chapters in the entire Bible. All of Scripture is great in that it communicates God’s revelation to us. But this chapter is certainly one of the greatest in all of Scripture. The Three Events The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, the return of Christ with His church, and the final triumph over the anti-Christ and the false prophet are the three significant events explained in this chapter. These are the most anticipated events, the most important events in the life of the Christian believer. Revelation 19 is incredibly dramatic. The living Savior returns to earth to crush all opposition to truth and to fulfill all prophecies fully and finally. There will be no doubt that these events will complete or fulfill all of Scripture. The promise of the Rapture of the church seems to be implied in this chapter. The bride of Christ, or the church, is already in heaven when the events of this chapter unfold. The return of Christ is explained here. In this episode, I discuss the details of that glorious event and His victory over sin. Completion of Prophecy We can celebrate these glorious events as the greatest events of our lives. We can look forward to these events with eager, joyous anticipation. We should praise the Lord God, Jehovah, along with John, as we read this beautiful description of the completion of all of prophecy. Thank you for listening to Relentless Truth.

    Relentless Truth Extra-6-Yuka and Mamdani

    Subscribe ▼ Show Notes Welcome to our sixth episode of Relentless Truth Extra. Today, I discuss an amazing app called Yuka and the grocery store concept that Mayor Mamdani is introducing in New York. Yuka was introduced to our family over a year ago by my physician. It is a free app that is useful for scanning food and cosmetic barcodes to instantly see an easy-to-read health score out of 100. It flags harmful additives, evaluates nutritional quality or ingredient safety, and suggests healthier alternatives. RFK, Jr. has increased awareness and improved our focus on food quality as a nation. Yuka is a tool that goes beyond food type and broad dietary recommendations. Yuka is a product-by-product or food-by-food item resource that doesn’t accept advertising or compensation by interests involved in the food growing or distribution process – or any other individual or corporate interests that might influence outcomes. Yuka provides information that isn’t intuitive. Products that are currently childhood staples are often rated poorly. Multiple products within a product type might have varying ratings based on ingredients. We have been researching our food and eating carefully for about six years, but Yuka was a game-changer for us. In the final few minutes, I discuss Mayor Mamdani’s socialistic grocery store concept. This concept won’t achieve its stated purpose, to provide healthier, lower-cost food for people in areas that don’t have access through the private sector, and it will cost far more than the stated cost estimates if it survives at all. The free market, if unhindered by regulatory restrictions, is the answer the Mayor is looking for here. This train is going to wreck, and it gives me no pleasure watching it happen.

    Is the U.S. Represented by Babylon

    Subscribe ▼ Show Notes We have reached Revelation 17 and 18 in our study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John. This section is particularly significant in eschatology. The characters are the great prostitute, Babylon, the waters, the Beast, the martyrs, seven kings, an angel, ten horns or kings, and The Lamb. The Characters The evil actors in the scene are said to carry out the purpose of God. This can be confusing to us, even today, as we observe God using evil to accomplish His purposes. Economic and political forces are discussed in these two chapters. Babylon could certainly be the United States. I can’t be dogmatic about this, but I can’t think of another nation that fits this description more specifically in our environment. It is possible that these events occur so far in the future that the environment changes substantially and another nation or nations fit the description of Babylon in this passage. I shudder to think about the similarities between this description of Babylon and the United States, nonetheless. The instant destruction that is referenced here seems to me to resemble nuclear war. While this destruction of Babylon could come through solely supernatural means, and given the fact that God uses man in executing His purposes, nuclear annihilation could be referenced in these chapters. The Economic Implications The economic implications of these events are also clear in this passage. Recall the buying and selling referenced previously and the submission to evil leadership that will be required. This entire system will be eliminated in one day. This economic hub of the world is brought to nothing in an hour. Imagine the intensity of this event if this reference is to a literal hour. The stage is now set for the New Heaven and the New Earth. We are to love what God loves and hate what He hates. Those of us who have trusted in and are in Jesus Christ can rest in Him. These horrific events do not threaten us, and we are securing in Him. Praise God for His faithfulness! Thank you for listening to Relentless Truth. Please share this episode with your friends and family. Please share our work on social media.

    They Did Not Repent and Give Him Glory

    Subscribe ▼ Show Notes We continue to see the word “repent” in our study of Revelation. Even in the face of God’s wrath, those who reject Jesus Christ continue to refuse to repent. This hardness of heart is true of many today who reject Christ entirely and resolutely. In our eschatological section of Revelation, they actually blame God and curse Him. This isn’t passive opposition or apathy. This is aggressive, hardcore opposition to God. Repent The plagues that God uses to pour out His wrath on the earth include sores, the ultimate pollution of all water, darkness, an earthquake, and large hailstones. This is the wrath of God demonstrated in ways the earth has never seen. “It Is Done” After the seven plagues or bowls are poured out, God announces that “it is done.” This war to end all wars seems to end rather quickly. The plagues seem to come quickly – one after another. This period is unimaginable to us. It is filled with horror, and yet, God will protect those who are His. Praise God for His faithfulness to His nature even in the context of the pouring out of His wrath. God doesn’t suspend His love, mercy, and grace, but He demonstrates His just wrath. It is important for us to think about God rightly even as we consider this prophetical section of Scripture. Thank you for listening to Relentless Truth.
