Episode 1213: Is it possible for the sinner to pray, obey, or believe in God?

Hello everyone. In tonight's Bible study we wrap up our study of the Church at Smyrna.

The Lord gave us some really deep doctrines in His message to the church at Smyrna. He tells us that we are going to suffer for His name's sake. He tells us that though we have nothing in this world, that we are rich in Christ.

He tells us that we do not have to fear them who can kill our bodies because we have hope in the risen Savior, Christ Jesus the Lord and King of glory.

He gives us promises that His Spirit will be with us, leading into the fire and into the presence of His glory at the end our time here on this earth.

He then promises us that we will never take part in the SECOND DEATH which is the true "hell". Why not? Is it because we are such good obedient children? Of course not.

It is because He is faithful.

Tonight's study is 1 hour and 6 minutes in duration. I have broken it into seven segments. This segment 3 of 7 titled Is it possible for the sinner to pray, obey, or believe in God?
