  1. Luke 18:1-8 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: "There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, 'Get justice for me from my adversary.' And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles…

  2. Luke 18:1-8 …me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.' " Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

  3. “When the Son of Man Comes Will He Find Faith on the Earth?” I. Faith means more than belief alone. • Some Pharisees believed (John 12:42-43). • Demons believe and tremble (James 2:19-22). • Saving faith is “perfected” by works that “work together” with faith (James 2:22). • Faith is the substance of things “hoped for” (Hebrews 11:1).

  4. “When the Son of Man Comes Will He Find Faith on the Earth?” I. Faith means more than belief alone. • Faith means obedience (Hebrews 11:8; Romans 16:25-26). • Faith means submission (Mark 8:34-38). • Faith means trust—unto salvation (John 14:6; Hebrews 13:5-6). • This is the kind of faith Jesus wants.

  5. “When the Son of Man Comes Will He Find Faith on the Earth?” II. When He comes will he find us... • Obedient, doing what He asks? Or, refusing to obey Him? • Yielding our will to His? Or, doing our will? • Leaning upon Him for life, hope and the real needs of life? Or, leaning on ourselves, trusting in things of this life? Will He find faith in us?

  6. “When the Son of Man Comes Will He Find Faith on the Earth?” III. What if He doesn’t find faith in us? • We will not be pleasing to Him (Heb. 11:6). • We will not be accepted by Him. • We will not live with Him in eternity (Rev. 21:1-8; ). • We will be punished by Him (John 3:16-18; II Thessalonians 1:9-10; 1:8).
