THE PARABLE
Luke 18: 1 - 2
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
THE PARABLE
Luke 18: 3 - 5
3 And there was a widow in that town
who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant
me justice against my adversary.’ 4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
THE PARABLE
Luke 18: 6 - 8
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly.
However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
PERSISTENT FAITH
1. Persistent Faith
Why kind of faith is Jesus going to look for?
Matthew 7: 7
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
FAITH WITH ACTIONS
James 2: 18 - 19
18 But someone will say, “You have faith;
I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
Why kind of faith is Jesus going to look for?
2. Faith with Actions
FAITH WITH ACTIONS
James 2: 20 - 22
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
FAITH WITH ACTIONS
James 2: 23 – 24
23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
HEAVEN’S KINGDOM COURT
Daniel 7: 9
9 “As I looked,
“thrones were set in place,� and the Ancient of Days took his seat.�His clothing was as white as snow;� the hair of his head was white like wool.�His throne was flaming with fire,� and its wheels were all ablaze.
Daniel’s vision of Heaven

stood before him.�The court was seated,� and the books were opened.
COURT OF JUDGEMENT
Revelation 20: 11 - 12
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life.
Court of Judgement
COURT OF JUDGEMENT
Revelation 20: 12 - 13
The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.
COURT OF JUDGEMENT
Revelation 20: 14 - 15
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
COURT OF JUDGEMENT
John 12: 47 -48
47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.
COURT OF REWARDS
Revelation 22: 12 - 14
12 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me,
and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
Court of Rewards
COURT OF JUDGEMENT
Revelation 22: 15
15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Court of Condemnation
FREEDOM FROM CONDEMNATION
Romans 8: 1 - 2
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Our Lord Jesus has Redeemed Us
John 5: 22 - 23
22 Moreover, the Father judges no one,
but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
To God be the glory!
