Obedience, Judgment, and the Unshakeable Kingdom of God

Moses, he was not allowed to enter into the land of Canaan, the promised land himself. He was the man to whom the honor was given of leading the people out of Egypt, across the Red Sea, and through the wilderness right up to the verge of Jordan. And then he was taken. He was not allowed to make them cross the Jordan and enter the promised land. Why? Well, because he disobeyed God. [00:30:52]

There's a day coming, my dear friend, when this whole universe is going to be shaken. It's not so difficult to believe that as it used to be, is it? People used to laugh at this idea of the shaking of the universe, at this idea that the heavens and the Earth were going to pass away, that the elements were going to melt with a fervent heat. [00:32:23]

Men and women sitting here in Westminster Chapel in London tonight, do you realize that you and I and all of us and the whole of mankind have got to stand before the judge of all, which is God? See that you refuse not him that speaketh. Our Lord said, you remember, to the people, he said, I'm not going to judge you. [00:34:12]

This is the only way whereby we shall be able to stand in that judgment and be made ready for that judgment. This is why they preached it. This is why I preach it. Thank God there's only one way to be right with God and ready for that judgment. It's this: it's not to refuse him that speaketh but to listen to him and to believe him. [00:35:31]

All that has been shaken, it's gone, and there's only one thing left, and that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The temple is gone, the burnt offerings and sacrifices, the priest and the high priest, they've gone. Temporary measure. There's only one thing left, and that is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. [00:37:03]

God is holding out an offer to the human race. This almighty God who's going to judge us all and who over all, he's extending a new opportunity, a new covenant, the last covenant, the last offer. And he sent it in his son, not in a servant, not in a prophet, not in a priest. His own son came out of Heaven into this world. [00:39:12]

Here am I, your sinner, vile, and you're all sinners, vile. We're all wretched, we're all foul. What if the world knew your imaginations and your thoughts? What if your neighbors knew the things that you fumble in your heart? We are all vile, lost sinners, but we've got to stand before a holy God who is a consuming fire. [00:41:06]

The moment you believe in him, you are already forgiven. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, forgiven completely, absolutely. Not only that, you're reconciled to God. You have access into the presence of God, having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest of all. [00:46:01]

Every man who is a true Christian and a true member of the Christian church is one of God's firstborn. That means two things: it means that you are born again, that you become a child of God, yes, but you're the firstborn. Everybody in the Christian church is a firstborn child. What's it mean? It means that you're an heir. [00:48:40]

Here is a kingdom which cannot be removed, cannot be shaken. Is this true? Well, history proves it. Christ said the gates of hell shall not prevail against her, and they haven't. People have been dying ever since he founded the church, but the church goes on. All the enemies have risen throughout the centuries. [00:51:16]

The kingdom of the Christ of God is an everlasting kingdom. There'll never be an end to it. Your Babylons have been great, but they've gone. The kingdoms of Greece were great; they vanished. Rome was a mighty empire; she's gone. Egypt was once great; nothing left of its glory. Britain, Spain, all these come and go. [00:52:47]

The kingdom shall never be removed. Why not? Because the king is the Son of God who came into this world, and he's already demonstrated his superiority. He's vanquished every enemy. In this world, he met every power that could ever be raised against God, and he mastered, he conquered them all. [00:53:39]
