Final Warning
This week, John and Chuck are back with the series on Salvation in Full Color, looking at the last sermon of Salvation in Full Color called “Final Warning” by Asahel Nettleton.
Asahel Nettleton (1783—1844) was one of the key ministers in the 19th century, particularly because he stood against Charles Finney and the “new theology” he taught. He lived in the midst of the Second Great Awakening, which lasted longer and stretched further than the first.
The text of this solemn sermon is from Proverbs 29:1: “He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.”
God has carefully provided for you to receive many reproofs or corrections.
Every reproof causes an effect (you’re either humbled or hardened).
The consequence of you repeatedly hardening yourself against God’s reproofs is that you will be destroyed suddenly and without remedy.
Ask yourself: Do you eagerly, easily receive correction? Or do you make someone “pay for it” when they correct you? Do you love those who correct you?
The most hardened person least suspects the danger before them.
After walking through the 20 sermons of Salvation in Full Color, are you more receptive, more tender, more eager to change now than at the beginning of the book? Or are you more hardened? Do not let this be the case with you.
