Acts 1:9-11 Jesus will return in clouds of glory

As Jesus ascended into heaven, so He shall also return on the Last Day, the Day of Judgment. He will come again in clouds of glory with His holy angels. Every eye will see Him! His return will be no secret rapture — both the believer and the unbeliever will see Him coming in glory! The true question for us is this: “Are you ready for His return and judgment? Are you prepared to meet Him?”

Amos 9 Bible Study

There is no escaping the judgment of God for those who reject His Word and turn aside from following after the true God. But those who repent and look to Jesus, the promised Messiah and Savior, for pardon and forgiveness will be saved from His wrath and given a place in God's everlasting kingdom.

We are saved by God's grace and through faith alone in Jesus Christ. How can we then walk as children of God in newness of life?

Amos 7 and 8 Bible Study

Though the religious rulers of Israel did not want to hear the word of the LORD warning them of God's impending judgment on account of their impenitence and sin, God sent Amos to tell them of their end should they not repent and return to the LORD. So also today, people do not want to hear the word of the LORD warning them and calling them to repentance and faith in Jesus, and God's judgment will not pass over those who fail to heed God's warning and look in faith to Jesus and His cross.

If we turn away from Christ and back into sin, seeking to turn God’s grace into a license to live in rebellion and enmity against God, we justly earn the wages and penalty for our sins, which is death and the eternal wrath of God. But if, by the grace of God, we continue trusting in Christ Jesus and His atoning sacrifice for our sins, we are set free from the condemnation of the law and from our former servitude to sin, and God’s gracious gift to us is forgiveness for all our sins and eternal life for Jesus’ sake. 

Amos 5 and 6 Bible Study

In Amos 5 and 6, God calls upon His people to repent of their sinful ways and turn to Him with all their hearts and souls, and they will live. If they do not turn to Him, from the heart, and seek His mercy, His judgment would come upon them and they would not escape. This has application to us today, as well. In the LORD, there is life. Apart from Him is only death and judgment.

Here is a truth we seldom consider. Through the sin of the first man, Adam, death was passed down to all men; but through the righteousness of the second man, Jesus Christ, forgiveness and life are made available to all men. Sermon based on Romans 5:12-21
