An Invitation and a WarningScripture Reading Revelation 21:6-8 (NIV)

6 … I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

An Invitation and a Warning# 1. MAN’S WARNINGS USUALLY

HAVE IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES WHEREAS GOD’S WARNINGS MIGHT HAVE CONSEQUENCES THAT REACH WAY OUT INTO THE FUTURE.

Revelation 21:8 (NIV) 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

An Invitation and a Warning#2. MAN’S INVITATIONS USUALLY COME WITH CONDITIONS AND WE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT; GOD INVITATIONS COME WITH NO CONDITIONS AND WE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

Revelation 21:6 (NIV) 6 … To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.

An Invitation and a Warning#3. GOD CHOSE TO DESCRIBE HIMSELF AS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA TO REVEAL TO US TWO VERY DISTINCT ATTRIBUTES OF HIMSELF.

Revelation 21:6 (NIV) 6 … I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.

An Invitation and a WarningYou may say that I don’t know what

God is doing in my life. I can tell you one of two things that is doing in your life. Today, He is either giving you an invitation or He is giving you a warning.

What are you going to do with it?
