  1. Sad Words in the BibleEcc. 7:3

  2. There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a livinghope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised for our justification declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead “some mocked” • It declared Jesus as God’s Son: Rom. 1:4 • Through it we are promised judgment and called to repentance: Acts 17:30-31 • Through it we are justified: Rom. 4:23-25 • Provides baptism its power: 1 Pet. 3:21 • Serves as the basis for our hope:1 Pet. 1:3 Acts 17:32

  3. Your word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path “we will not walk therein” Jer. 6:16 • The Jews refused to obey God’s instructions (Jer. 6:10). • Our claim to be God’s people requires us to walk in the “light” of His Word (Psa. 119:105).

  4. “we will not walk therein” Jer. 6:16 • “walking in newness of life”Rom. 6:4 • “walk in the light”1 Jn. 1:7 • “walk by faith, not by sight”2 Cor. 5:7 • “walk worthy of our calling which we were called”Eph. 4:1 • “walk in love” Eph. 5:1-2 • “walk honestly”1 Thess. 4:11-12 • walk “in sanctification and honor”1 Thess. 4:3-5

  5. “who have strayed concerning the truth” 2 Tim. 2:17-18 • Many who obey the truth err or fall away from it. Why? • Allure of riches 1 Tim. 6:10 • Allure of fleshly desires 1 Cor. 10:6-11 • False doctrine Gal. 1:6-9 • Own “wisdom” Rom. 12:3 • Spiritual lazinessHeb. 5:12

  6. “concerning the faith have made shipwreck” 1 Tim. 1:19-20 • Turn their faith from a blessing into a disaster! Why? • Pressure of political correctness: 2 Tim. 2:17-18 • Depart from the faith: 1 Tim. 4:1-3 • Deny the faith: 1 Tim. 5:8 • Cast off their faith: 1 Tim. 5:12

  7. “and the door was shut” Matt. 25:10 • Think about when the door of the ark was shut Gen. 7:16 • The ready went in. • The others made a start, but didn’t enter in because they didn’t remain ready • The majority will find the door shut Lk. 13:23-30

  8. Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ “depart from Me” Matt. 25:41 • Many will hear those chilling, terrifying words • Those failing to use their talents Matt. 25:30 • The unbenevolent Matt. 25:41 • Those unwilling to enter the “narrow gate” Lk. 13:23-30 • Those who do not know God or obey the gospel 2 Thess. 1:7-9

  10. King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe Many of the chief rulers also many believed on Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue “You almost persuaded me” Acts 26:28 • Agrippa believed (Acts 26:27), yet failed to obey Jn. 12:42 • Almost is but to fail! And it happens every day

  11. “some mocked” “You almost persuaded me” • “we will not walk therein” • “who have strayed concerning the truth” • “concerning the faith have made shipwreck” • “and the door was shut” • “depart from Me” • “Go away for now”

  12. Conclusion • If any of these words are applicable you can change by obeying NOW. 2 Cor. 6:2 • “’Almost’ cannot avail; ‘Almost’ is but to fail; Sad, sad that bitter wail—’Almost,’ but lost”
