WHERE ART THOU?

By Wendell H. Watts Chart The Gospel Vol. 1

(Gen. 3:9)

INTRODUCTION: The first question of the Bible shows the futility of man trying to hide from God. In this same connection the Hebrew writer tells us, "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things art naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." (Heb. 4:13) Thus, we can see the importance of doing the right things and, being in the right place. In studying this lesson on "Where Art Thou?" please answer the following questions:

I. ARE YOU WITH THE LORD OR AGAINST THE LORD?

A. In the great conflict between light and darkness, good and evil there is no middle ground---we must either join with Christ or be against Him.

B. If one is not allied with Christ, he is a co-worker with the devil.

II. ARE YOU A SERVANT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OR A SERVANT OF SIN?

A No man can serve two masters (Matt. 6:24)

B. To be a servant of righteousness is to obey all of God's commandments.

C. Sin is obedience to the devil.

III.    ARE YOU IN THE NARROW WAY OR THE BROAD WAY?

A. Jesus points out that only two roads are open to us and we must make a choice.

B. The narrow way is strait and difficult and leads to eternal, life.

C. The broad way is described as the way of many.

D. It is entered by a gate that is wide and inviting so far as the world is concerned

IV. ARE YOU AMONG THE WISE OR AMONG THE FOOLISH?

A. The Lord closes the "Sermon on the Mount" by placing all men in one of these two groups.

B. The wise hear and do, build on a solid foundation, and will stand secure at the Judgment.

C. The foolish also hear but fail to do, build on the sand, and will be lost at the Judgment.

V. ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH OR IN THE WORLD ?

A. All accountable beings are in one or the other.

B. When one obeys the gospel, God saves him and adds him to the church. If the saved are out of the church, why does God add them to the church?

C. One remains in the world, the kingdom of Satan

D. The Christian is delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son.

VI. WILL YOU BE AMONG THE SHEEP OR AMONG THE GOATS?

A. This separation wilt take place at the Judgment--it is future.

B. Those on the right hand will enter into the eternal joys of Heaven.

C. Those on the left hand will be cast into everlasting punishment.
