Summary

The sermon warns against false beliefs regarding salvation, emphasizing that God does not accept 'magic formulas' or mere statements of belief. Using the story of the rich man and Lazarus, the speaker stresses that this account is a true narrative, not a parable, serving as a grave warning. Ultimately, the message asserts that the only way to know the truth about heaven and hell is through the Scriptures, as stated by Abraham: 'they have Moses and the prophets.'

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Did God really mean what He said?Eve's fundamental problem was thinking she knew better than God when He warned that eating the forbidden tree brings death.

The modern deception of cheap graceThe devil convinces people that sin is not serious and that merely saying a magic phrase ensures eternal security without true repentance.

The sin of the rich manThe rich man and Lazarus were both children of Abraham, but the rich man neglected his needy brother, leading to his judgment.

Awakened in torment with no escapeIn hell, the rich man's evil nature remains as he begs for relief and worries over his surviving brothers, learning too late that the gulf is final.

They have Moses and the prophetsWhen the rich man begs for someone to warn his brothers, Abraham replies that they already have the written Word of God to guide them.

Rejecting modern heaven-and-hell testimoniesStories of people dying, visiting the afterlife, and returning are dismissed as imagination or medical comas, because Hebrews 9:27 states man dies once before judgment.

Realizing the need to repentThose in hell realize they are there because they did not repent, yet repentance is rarely preached or sung about in modern Christendom.

Repentance and faith joined togetherHymns that speak only of believing without repentance miss the biblical standard, because the apostles preached both repentance and faith.
