God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Nothing can altogether overthrow and destroy [the church]. Its members may be persecuted, oppressed, imprisoned, beaten, beheaded, burned; but the true church is never altogether extinguished; it rises again from its afflictions; it lives on through fire and water. When crushed in one land it springs up in another. The Pharaohs, the Herods, the Neros, have labored in vain to put down this church; they slay their thousands, and then pass away and go to their own place. The true Church outlives them all, and sees them buried each in his turn. It is an anvil that has broken many a hammer in this world, and will break many a hammer still; it is a bush which is often burning, and yet is not consumed.

Why is God justified in having wrath toward you if you have not come to Christ on His terms? 1. Because you are a sinner by nature (Eph. 2:3; Rom. 3:10; Ps. 51:5). 2. Because you have amassed a huge volume of sins. 3. Because you have committed the greatest crime possible, against the highest existing authority (Mk. 12:30). 4. Because of your persistence in sinning against God. 5. Because you have spurned the greatest love gift ever [Jesus Christ]. 6. Because you have spurned this gift even though you have knowledge of Christ and the way of salvation (Mt. 11:21-24). 7. Because you have been unwilling to admit your desperate need (Jn. 9:39-40). 8. Because you have been proud of your good works, though dependence on them damns you (Gal. 2:21; Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 5:4). 9. Because you have not repented even though He has been kind to you (Rom. 2:4-5). 10. Because you have stubbornly refused to yield to God and His way of salvation in Jesus Christ to the last possible moment—now!
