2 Sermon Illustrations on God's Judgment

2 illustrations

God's judgment refers to the righteous evaluation and decision of God concerning human sin and righteousness, emphasizing His holiness and justice. Christian preaching often portrays this as an unavoidable reckoning where every deed is weighed, using imagery such as a righteous judge or a refining fire to illustrate divine justice and accountability (Romans 2:5-6).

Bible, Offense Of The

The devil opposes the Bible because it exposes sin and brings salvation and truth.

A New York City missionary, accustomed to speak in the lowest sections of the city, was going to hold an open-air meeting in Paradise Park. Before he began to preach he heard a man in the crowd say, “Damn the Bible, anyhow.” He mounted his barrel and announced, “My text to-day is ‘Damn the Bible, anyhow.’” That made that man and every other man eager to hear what he was going to say next. Then he told why the devil wanted the Bible damned: because it closed up all liquor stores and brothels, cleaned men’s lives and taught truth and salvation.

Bible And Human Nature

Romans 1:32

Romans 1 vividly exposes human sinfulness and God's righteous judgment.

Rev. Jacob Chamberlain, of India, went to a native city where the name of Jesus had never been heard. He began to explain to them the first chapter of Romans, that chapter which describes the heart of man wandering away from God and into sin, and conceiving evil conceptions of God, until at last, “Tho they know the judgment of God--that they which do such things are worthy of death--not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” The most intelligent man in the audience, a Brahman, stept forward and said to Dr. Chamberlain, “Sir, that chapter must have been written for us Hindus. It describes us exactly.”
