With Whom Will You Be Counted Among? Part 1

For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And

“If the righteous is scarcely saved,

what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

1 Peter 4:17-18

If the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!

Proverbs 11:31

And the word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, when a land sins against me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out my hand against it and break its supply of bread and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast, even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord GOD.”

In that day, when the wrath of the Lord visits you and your country, your nation, your city, your town, your community, your neighborhood, your family, your household…will you be counted among the remnant, the very few, the scarcely saved that deliver their own lives by their righteousness? Will you be counted among the righteous as like Noah, Daniel and Job? Or will your fate lie with the unrighteous?

“If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no one may pass through because of the beasts, even if these three men were in it, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, they would deliver NEITHER sons nor daughters. They ALONE would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.”

In that day, when the fierce anger of the Lord visits you and your country and your city will you be counted among the remnant, the very few, the scarcely saved, that deliver their own lives by their righteousness? Or will you be counted among the many sons or daughters, and many husbands or wives that will not be delivered on the account of someone else’s righteousness?

“Or if I bring a sword upon that land and say, Let a sword pass through the land, and I cut off from it man and beast, though these three men were in it, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they alone would be delivered.”

In that day, when the punishment of the Lord visits you and your nation and your town, will you be counted among the remnant, the very few, the scarcely saved, that deliver their own lives by their righteousness? Or will you be counted among the many unrighteous sons and daughter, fathers and mothers that will not be delivered?

“Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out my wrath upon it with blood, to cut off from it man and beast, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, they would deliver neither son nor daughter. They would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness.”

In that day, when the fury of the Lord visits you and your community and neighborhood, will you be counted among the remnant, the very few, the scarcely saved, that deliver their own lives by their righteousness? Or will you be counted among the majority of their sons and daughters, or their friends and family that will not be delivered because of their own unrighteousness?

My Lord what if You send an earthquake and roaring waves and floods into the land, What would happen to its inhabitants?

“Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness. They would deliver neither son nor daughter declares the Lord GOD.”

In the day that the Lord’s fierce indignation visits you and your household and your family, will you be counted among the remnant, the very few, the scarcely saved, that deliver their own lives by their righteousness? Our will your fate lie with the unrighteous?

"For thus says the Lord GOD: How much more when I send upon them my disastrous acts of judgment to cut off from it man and beast! But behold, some survivors will be left in it, sons and daughters who will be brought out; behold, when they come out to you, and you see their ways and their deeds, you will be consoled for the disaster that I have brought upon the land, for all that I have brought upon it. They will console you, when you see their ways and their deeds, and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, declares the Lord GOD."
