What is your verdict?
In the sermon "What Is Your Verdict?" based on John 5:24-30, we look at the divide between the spiritually dead and alive. Jesus assures that those who believe in Him have eternal life and will not face judgment. This promise is central to the doctrine of "once saved, always saved," affirming that salvation is permanent for those who trust in Christ.
The key question posed is: "What is your verdict?" Each person must decide whether they will accept or reject Jesus, as this determines their eternal destiny. We're urged to reflect on one’s spiritual state, emphasizing that Jesus offers freedom from judgment and eternal life to all who believe.
The sermon also highlights Jesus' unique authority to grant life and judge humanity. As both God and man, He has been given life by the Father and the power to execute judgment. At the final judgment, those who have accepted Christ will be raised to eternal life, while those who have rejected Him will face condemnation.
