God Did Not Spare

1
God Did Not Spare

• 2 Peter 21-9

2
This Lesson

• is not primarily concerned with those spared by
  God throughout the ages
• focuses on those God has not spared in the past
• focuses on those God will not spare today

3
Heb. 1229 For our God is a consuming fire.
WHEN IT COMES TO DESTROYING SIN, GOD WILL NOT
SPARE!

GOD SPARED NOT

• THE ANGELS WHO SINNED
• For if God did not spare the angels who sinned,
  but cast them down to hell and delivered them
  into chains of darkness, to be reserved for
  judgment (2 Pet. 24)
• SPEAKS OF A TIME WHEN ANGELS REBELLED

5
GOD SPARED NOT

• THE ANGELS WHO SINNED
• And the angels who did not keep their proper
  domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved
  in everlasting chains under darkness for the
  judgment of the great day (Jude 6)

6
SOME ANGELS

• SINNED
• LEFT ABODE
• WERE BOUND IN CHAINS OF DARKNESS AND WILL AWAIT
  JUDGMENT

7
CHRONOLOGY OF THIS EVENT

• PLACED BEFORE LOTS TIME (2 PET. 26)
• PLACED BEFORE NOAHS FLOOD (2 PET. 25)

8
IMMORALITY OF THIS EVENT

• LINKED WITH STRANGE FLESH (JUDE)
• 6 And the angels who did not keep their proper
  domain, but left their own abode. . .7 as Sodom
  and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a
  similar manner to these, having given themselves
  over to sexual immorality and gone after strange
  flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the
  vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these
  dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and
  speak evil of dignitaries.

PROBABLE OF GEN. 61ff
. . .so that the connotation is the fallen
ones, clearly meaning the unnatural offspring
that were on the earth in the years before the
Flood. . . (Ungers Bible Dictionary, p. 471)

TO FALL
10
POINT

• EVEN SPIRITUAL BEINGS (WHO ARE GREATER IN POWER
  THAN WE) ARE NOT SPARED WHEN THEY SIN
• WHY DO SOME THINK GOD WILL SPARE THEM IN THEIR
  SIN?

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
(MATT. 2541)
11
GOD SPARED NOT

• THE ANCIENT WORLD
• and did not spare the ancient world, but saved
  Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of
  righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world
  of the ungodly (2 PET. 25)

12
GOD SPARED THEM NOT

• EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE CREATED IN GODS IMAGE
  (GEN. 127)
• EVEN THOUGH THE ANCIENT WORLD WAS ORIGINALLY
  DECLARED VERY GOOD (GEN. 131)

13
GOD SPARED NOT

• SODOM AND GOMORRAH
• and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into
  ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them
  an example to those who afterward would live
  ungodly (2 PET. 26)

14
GOD SPARED THEM NOT

• EVEN THOUGH THE LAND WAS LIKE THE GARDEN OF THE
  LORD (GEN. 1310)
• EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE RESCUED FROM THE KINGS OF
  THE EAST PREVIOUSLY (GEN. 141ff)
• EVEN THOUGH A VERY RIGHTEOUS MAN INTERCEDED ON
  THEIR BEHALF (GEN. 1823-32)
• WOULD HAVE SPARED THEM IF THERE WERE ONLY 10
  RIGHTEOUS

15
IS OUR NATION HEADED FOR SODOM?
W
S
ADDAM
in
D

• WE TOOK OUT SADDAM BECAUSE OF HIS POTENTIAL
  TERROR
• YET MANY ARE ADOPTING SODOM IN PRESSING
  SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
• an oxymoron
• God created marriage defined as one man to one
  woman (Gen. 218, 22 Matt. 195, 6)
• legalized same-sex fornication
• sin is the real WMD (Gen. 1313 1820 1913)

ODOM?
16
GOD SPARED NOT

• THE NATURAL BRANCHES (ROM. 1111-24, emp. v. 21)
• EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE
• GENTILES HAVE BEEN GIVEN A PLACE OF HONOR, BUT
  GOD MAY NOT SPARE YOU EITHER (v. 21)

17
GOD SPARED NOT

• HIS OWN SONROMANS 8
• 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but
  delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not
  with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who
  shall bring a charge against Gods elect? It is
  God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It
  is Christ who died, and furthermore is also
  risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who
  also makes intercession for us.

18
CAN YOU FATHOM GOD NOT SPARING HIS OWN SON?

• HAD HIM DELIVERED UP/CRUCIFIED FOR SIN (OF
  OTHERS)
• For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for
  us, that we might become the righteousness of God
  in Him (2 COR. 521)

IF GOD WOULD NOT SPARE HIS OWN SON FOR THE SIN OF
THE WORLD

REPROBATES
23
reprobate K.J.V.
1) not standing the test, not approved 1a)
properly used of metals and coins 2) that which
does not prove itself such as it ought 2a) unfit
for, unproved, spurious, reprobate
Ro 128 And even as they did not like to retain
God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a
reprobate mind, to do those things which are
not convenient 1Co 927 But I keep under my
body, and bring it into subjection lest that by
any means, when I have preached to others, I
myself should be a castaway . 2Co 135
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith
prove your own selves. Know ye not your own
selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except
ye be reprobates ?
24
reprobate K.J.V.
1) not standing the test, not approved 1a)
properly used of metals and coins 2) that which
does not prove itself such as it ought 2a) unfit
for, unproved, spurious, reprobate
2Ti 38 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood
Moses, so do these also resist the truth men of
corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the
faith. Tit 116 They profess that they know God
but in works they deny him, being abominable, and
disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate
. Heb 68 But that which beareth thorns and
briers is rejected , and is nigh unto
cursing whose end is to be burned.
25
not standing the test, not approved

• WOULD YOU BUY TIRES THAT FAILED THE TEST/NOT
  APPROVED?
• WHY BUY INTO A RELIGION THAT IS NOT APPROVED?
• WHY CONDUCT YOURSELF IN A FASHION THAT IS NOT
  APPROVED?
• WILL GOD ACCEPT A FAITH THAT IS NOT APPROVED?

GOD WILL NOT

THOSE WHO FORGET GOD

Psalm 917 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the nations that forget God.

THOSE WHO NEGLECT SALVATION

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed
to the things we have heard, lest we drift
away. 2 For if the word spoken through angels
proved steadfast, and every transgression and
disobedience received a just reward, 3 how shall
we escape if we neglect so great a salvation,
which at the first began to be spoken by the
Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard
Him
30
Observational Facts

• Salvation can be neglected
• Salvation is an individuals responsibility
• If salvation is neglected, we cannot escape
  Heavens penalty

31
GOD WILL NOT
SPARE
THOSE WHO WASTE HIDE THEIR TALENTS
32
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your
talent in the ground. Look, there you have what
is yours. 26 "But his lord answered and said to
him, You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that
I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I
have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to
have deposited my money with the bankers, and at
my coming I would have received back my own with
interest. 28 Therefore take the talent from
him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 29
For to everyone who has, more will be given, and
he will have abundance but from him who does not
have, even what he has will be taken away. 30
And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer
darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
MATTHEW 25
