A Study Of The Nations (1 of 3)
Jesse M. Hendley
Genesis 11:1-9
Today we are taking up a study of THE NATIONS, and in this study you will find two different truths. You will find a PESSIMISTIC viewpoint. The Bible HAS a pessimistic viewpoint, pessimistic because God says there is no peace to the wicked, and as long as wickedness abides there must be pessimism in that regard. But there will be OPTIMISM for the children of God, because God presents plainly the victory of the saved. Nations of the people who are saved shall walk in the light of the Holy City! That is one of God's "shall's" and He means what He says.
GOD LOVES MEN, and everything that God does is in love: I want to remind you of that in the very begin- ning of this message today. You are familiar with John 3:16, "For God SO LOVED the world." You are familiar with First John 4 where twice we read, "God is LOVE." He LOVES you! He loves every human being in this world. It doesn't make any difference about our race or nationality or anything else. When God said He loved "the World," He meant EVERY PERSON in the world. He meant every individual. And God Loves you! I want you to know that now.
My son and I were discussing the things of God's Word, and his little tiny three-month-old baby was there kicking around on a little blanket on the table we had there, cooing, you know, and he looked with those fond father's eyes upon that little babe that he loves with all his heart. We were talking about God. I said, "Son, you love that baby, don't you?" He said, "Yes, I do, Dad, more than anything in the world." I said, "Well, GOD loves YOU more than you could ever love that child." What a wonderful thing to get hold of THAT TRUTH! Whatever our interpretation of the Word of God, wherever it is, any portion, WE MUST interpret it in the light of WHAT GOD IS, and God is fundamentally LOVE! Every activity He makes toward the human race is IN LOVE.
