- We all deserve punishment.
- We all will be punished unless we find a way out.
- Those who find a way out will be rewarded.
- The reward is a gift. It is found by the meek.
- The reward is eternal as is the punishment..
- Those who reject the gift will be punished eternally.
- Those who accept the gift will be rewarded eternally.
- Because proud people reject the gift does not invalidate the giver.
- Well-intentioned people cannot get the gift by doing "good".
- Wicked people can get the gift by feeling sorrow.
- Neither the "wicked" nor the "good" deserve a reward.
- Only the submissive get rewarded.
- The rebel and the apathetic get the punishment.
- The effort to be rewarded is mere belief.
- The belief must be trusting and enduring.
- Even that effort is a gift which we must use.
- The belief must be that blood cleanses the soul.
- It must be that only God's blood can cleanse.
- That God was made flesh so that he could bleed for us.
- The belief must be on specifically Jesus' shed blood.
- That God himself payed our fine. He suffered and died in our place.
- That God suffered for us spiritually by losing his Son.
- That God himself went to the grave, but ascended from death and lives forever.
- And that Jesus is the example that the reward is valid. Because he lives we can too!
- And that God does expect something from those whom he rewards.
- That God wants our love and that we are to demonstrate that love of God by obedience.
- That how we are to obey is loving others.
The End! (For Most)
The Beginning (For a few)
