Can evangelism be 100% successful when most people will never believe in Jesus?
In this sermon segment on Amos 9:11–15, discover why Jesus Christ will successfully bring His people into His kingdom—even though the majority of the world remains in unbelief.
Jesus wins the nations, not by saving every individual, but by sovereignly bringing whomever He chooses into His kingdom through faith in Him. God's promise concerning the restoration of David's fallen kingdom points forward to Jesus Christ, the Son of David, whose reign extends to the nations.
In this Biblical exposition, we explore why Christians should expect successful evangelism without assuming that most people will believe. Jesus compares the days before His return to the days of Noah, when widespread unbelief persisted despite the coming judgment. Scripture also describes the spiritual blindness of unbelievers and God's sovereign determination to bring His people to faith in Christ.
In this message, you'll discover:
Why Christians should expect Jesus to succeed in gathering His people through evangelism.
Why successful evangelism does not mean that everyone—or even a majority—will believe.
What the days of Noah teach us about unbelief and the return of Christ.
How 2 Corinthians 4:3–4 explains the spiritual blindness of unbelievers.
How Matthew 13:13 describes humanity's inability to understand spiritual truth apart from God's work.
How Amos 9:11–15 and Psalm 2 connect God's promise to David with Jesus' reign over the nations.
Why a person's nationality, religious upbringing, or previous unbelief cannot prevent God from bringing that person into His kingdom.
Scriptures explored: Amos 9:11–15; Psalm 2:1–8; Matthew 13:13; Matthew 24:37–39; Luke 18:8; 2 Corinthians 4:3–4; 1 Peter 2:9–10; 1 Peter 3; 2 Peter 2; Revelation 19:19; Revelation 20:7–9.
This teaching is especially relevant for Christians interested in Reformed theology, God's sovereignty in salvation, the gospel, evangelism, the Davidic covenant, Biblical interpretation, and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in Jesus Christ.
Whether you belong to a Reformed or Presbyterian church, are interested in Biblical theology, or simply want to understand the Bible better, this message explains why the apparent weakness of the church does not mean that Jesus is failing to accomplish His purposes.
The central truth: Jesus is King. He will bring His people into His kingdom, and His saving purposes will succeed.
