Unbelievers
have ridiculed “fire and brimstone” preaching. We cannot, however,
allow their scornful attitude to lead us to dismiss “fire and brimstone”
preaching. We dare not say that such preaching belongs to the past. We
must note that the Bible preaches “fire and brimstone.” We must ask,
“How does the Bible preach “fire and brimstone”?” The fact that the
Bible preaches “fire and brimstone” means that this emphasis on divine
judgment must not be excluded from our preaching in today’s world. The
way that the Bible preaches “fire and brimstone” teaches us that we must
always preach with a view to leading men and women to know Jesus Christ
as their Saviour. Jesus Christ is the only way out of judgment. Jesus
Christ is the only way into salvation. We hear the Gospel. we hear its
promise. We hear its warning. The Gospel places us at a cross-roads.
Each of us must decide. We must come to Christ. We must trust Him as our
Saviour. We must come to Him, believing that He died on the Cross for
us. We must come to Him and receive His free gift of the forgivenss of
our sins. It is only through faith in Him that we will come to know, for
ourselves, the truth of the final words of Psalm 11: “upright men will see His face” (verse 7).
