Sermon Notes
Dr. Russ Martin
February 8, 2015
“Reigning with Christ”
Revelation 20
Introduction
• John’s vision is not meant to be a timetable
- Jesus reveals great truths
- We have the promise that we will reign with Christ
(Romans 8;17, II Timothy 2:11-12, Revelation 5:10)
• Jesus gives a peace that endures
• Jesus shows us the path to spiritual victory
I. To Reign with Christ, we must see the devil bound
• We can’t do this by our own strength
• Through Jesus this victory is possible (Roman 8:12)
• All heartache and sadness comes because of Satan’s reign
- Jesus has broken that power
II. To Reign with Christ, we must have total commitment
• Revelation focuses on the Christian martyrs
- They found the love greater than life
(Hebrews 11:32-40, Revelation 12:11, Romans 6:5-14)
- The first death (physical) and the second death (eternal)
(Matthew 10:28)
• Armageddon & Millennium
- The key message: Evil cannot be reformed, it must be destroyed
- God, the author of peace, is also the protector of peace
(Hebrew 12:28-29)
III. To Reign with Christ, we must be accountable to God
• The earth, as we know it, will pass away
(II Peter 3:8-13, I Corinthians 15:50-58)
- Knowing “how” and “when” is not the issue
- Knowing the certainty is the issue
- After this comes the judgment
(Revelation 20:11-15, II Peter 3:14-15)
• “The books were opened …”
- God’s Word and our deeds
(Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14, Luke 12:2-5, 8:10, Matthew 13:40-43)
- “Another book was opened, which is the book of life.”
- No more time for debate or decision
- The truth of God is revealed
(Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, 13:8 , 17:8, 21:27)
• Within these chapters is the entire history of man …
- We are under God’s grace and accountable to him alone
- To deserve punishment and yet be redeemed is the ultimate
picture of grace and mercy
