About this sermon

In this message we look at the lessons of the helmet of salvation that apply to the Christian. We also show how the Christian is delivered from the wrath to come in the Tribulation period. We are removed before the Day of the Lord begins at the removal of all Christians at the Rapture. We ponder four words that have rattled the history of the human race like a hurricane that shakes the shutters on a house. They are “Christ died for us.” The world has never been the same because of what happened on a hill called Calvary two-thousand years ago. Christ died for us. The mountain in His horizon, the target in His scope was His death. Paying the debt for mankind's sin was His purpose and passion so that man could be redeemed and saved by faith in Him. That is what mattered to Him and our love and devotion to Him is what should matter to us. Thank God Christ died for us!!!! * Christ Died for Us * Our foolishness and frivolity leave us unteachable, unsound, unacceptable, upset, and our lives upside down like a ship at sea, flipped over by a tsunami, yet, Christ still died for us. * The stench of our sinfulness is foul and reeks in God’s nostrils like a dead skunk rotting on the side of a road, yet, Christ died for us anyway. * Man’s steadfastness and faithfulness tend to constantly change and be fickle like quick silver on a glass table or a feather blowing in the breeze. In spite of our fickleness, Christ died for our sins. * With flippant and careless attitudes toward the destructiveness of sin and the judgment of God, men are like a raft being swept downstream by a rapid current that is heading for a roaring waterfall. Knowing He is our only hope, Christ died for us. * Man’s fury and fierce anger toward God cause him to lash out at God like a bolt of lightning from billowy clouds. Because of His love, Christ died for us in spite of our ferocity. Christians will live together with the Lord one day. Are you watching for the return of Jesus Christ and living your life for Him? Do you know Him as your Savior? This message was preached on Sunday night, May 30,2021, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
