(Audio Book) Not A Word of Christ Shall Fail

We see that Christ's words are absolutely sure. Not one word of his shall ever fail. But, if Jesus Christ's words are sure, some other things are sure also.

1. It is sure that there is a future eternal heaven and eternal hell. This, Jesus Christ plainly declares. The doctrines of an eternal heaven and an eternal hell are not speculations of the theologians, but proclamations of the Son of God.

Jesus says that at his coming again all nations then living on the earth shall be gathered before him and he shall separate them one from the other as a shepherd separate his sheep from the goats, and that he shall set the sheep on his right hand and the goats to the left, and of those on the left hand he says, these shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. Matt 25 colon 31-34, 41, 46. Remember that these are not the words of some antiquated, medieval, bigoted theologian, they are the words of the Son of God, the words of him not one word of whom shall ever fail.

2. It is sure again that anyone who believes in Jesus Christ shall receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life, no matter how greatly nor how long he may have sinned. Jesus says that he has power on earth to forgive sins, Mark 2 verse 10. He says again, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth in him may have eternal life, John 3 verses 14 and 15.

These words seem incredible. They seem too good to be true, but Jesus Christ is the speaker and not one word of his shall ever fail. The heavens and the earth shall pass away, but his words shall not pass away.

This statement that there is pardon and eternal life for anyone who will believe in Jesus Christ is absolutely sure. Is there anyone here to night who is heartily sick of sin and heartily tired of death? Come, believe on Jesus Christ ere it be saved and get pardon and eternal life tonight. 3. It is sure again that no one who rejects Jesus Christ shall see life, but the wrath of God abodeth upon him.

Men do not like that doctrine. They like to think they can reject Jesus Christ and yet be saved by their imagined morality, or in some other way. There is absolutely no foundation for such a hope, it is not the doctrine of fierce old John Calvin nor of bigoted Jonathan Edwards, it is the declaration of Jesus Christ, who says in John 3 verses 18 and 19, He that believeth on him is not condemned.

But he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. He says again in the 14th and 15th verses of the same chapter, As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, the unmistakable implication of which is that the one who does not believe shall perish, no matter what else he may do, and John sums up the teaching of the Lord Jesus on this point by saying, He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abodeth on him.

Before you dare question the statement to your own eternal ruin, remember who makes it, the one not one of whose words shall ever fail.
