The 1,000 Year Reign Of Christ - Part Six

Revelation Chapter 20 describes all the events that will take place at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ. Verse 11 says, "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it." This verse is describing what is known as the "Great White Throne Judgement." Our message will describe this God - Ordained event and its extreme importance for all people - Jews and Gentiles.

A detailed description of the Great White Throne Judgement can be found in John 5:24-29 in which Jesus says, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has ever lasting life and shall not come into judgement but has passed from death into life. Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as The Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. And has given Him authority to execute judgement also, because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the grave will hear His voice and come forth - those who have done good to the resurrection of life and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation." 

Notice that God The Father has given all the authority of judgement to Jesus The Son. Verse 24 is very important because it says that those who believe in Jesus as their Savior will go to Heaven when they die and will not stand before Jesus at the Great White Throne Judgement!

John 5:25-29 describes all unsaved people standing before Jesus as He judges their lives. Verses 25, 29 says "The hour is coming" in describing this event that will happen at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ. Verse 29 is critically important because it clearly separates those saved from those unsaved. The saved will spend Eternity in Heaven with God The Father and Jesus The Son while the unsaved will spend eternity in "condemnation" or in hell.

We come now to the most critical time of our series on the 1,000 year reign of Christ and ask the question - Are You Saved, Do You Know Jesus As Your Lord And Savior? Romans 10:9 says, "That if you confess with your mouth The Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved."

If you realize it is time to receive Jesus as your Savior, please pray with me:

Jesus, I know I am a sinner . . . Please forgive me of all of my sins - past, present, future . . . I confess Jesus as my Lord . . . I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead . . . I am saved!

Hallelujah, Bless His Holy Name!
