As a Christian in this world, there are often a lot of noises and troubles, which constantly pull us off the road of sanctification. People will say why it is so hard to obey God’s commands, why not follow the instructions of world? Let’s have fun together. I don’t think you have any friends. Don’t be too serious about being a human being. Do not Just listen to God’s words. Don’t make your friends unable to do it. Can we move forward with GOD’s word without hesitation?

2. Preface
• As a Christian in this world, there are often a lot
of noises and troubles, which constantly pull us
off the road of sanctification. People will say why
it is so hard to obey God’s commands, why not
follow the instructions of world? Let’s have fun
together. I don’t think you have any friends. Don’t
be too serious about being a human being. Do
not Just listen to God’s words. Don’t make your
friends unable to do it. Can we move forward
with GOD’s word without hesitation?

• Luke. 16:19 “‘There was a certain rich man who was
clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously
every day.”
• Luke. 16:20 “But there was a certain beggar named
Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,”
• Luke. 16:21 “desiring to be fed with the crumbs which
fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came
and licked his sores.”
• Luke. 16:22 “So it was that the beggar died, and was
carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich
man also died and was buried.”

6. The Rich Man and Lazarus –
After Death
• Luke. 16:23 “And being in torments in Hades, he lifted
up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in
his bosom.”
• Luke. 16:24 “‘Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham,
have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip
the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I
am tormented in this flame.'”
• Luke. 16:25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in
your lifetime you received your good things, and
likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted
and you are tormented.”

7. God's perspective
• Heb. 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that
He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
• Rom. 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable
service.”
• Rom. 8:6 “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace.”
• Rom. 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may
prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of
God.”

8. God's perspective
• Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the person who pleases him, God
gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner
he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to
hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is
meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
• Isa 55:10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from
heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the
earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and
bread for food;
• Isa 55:11 So will my word be which goes out of my mouth:
it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will
give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent
it.

and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.”

bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these
lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to
Abraham your father.”
• Gen. 26:4 “And I will make your descendants multiply as
the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these
lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be
blessed;”
• Gen. 26:5 “because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept
My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My
laws.””

10. Failed Character - Lot
• Gen. 12:4 “So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to
him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five
years old when he departed from Haran.”
• Gen. 13:5 “Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and
herds and tents.”
• Gen. 13:6 “Now the land was not able to support them,
that they might dwell together, for their possessions were
so great that they could not dwell together.”
• Gen. 13:10 “And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of
Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the
LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of
the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.”

11. Failed Character - Lot
• Gen. 13:11 “Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of
Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated
from each other.”
• Gen. 13:12 “Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and
Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent
even as far as Sodom.”
• Gen. 13:13 “But the men of Sodom were exceedingly
wicked and sinful against the LORD.”
• Gen. 19:15 “When the morning dawned, the angels
urged Lot to hurry, saying, "Arise, take your wife and
your two daughters who are here, lest you be
consumed in the punishment of the city."”

12. Failed Character - Lot
• Gen. 19:16 “And while he lingered, the men took hold
of his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two
daughters, the LORD being merciful to him, and they
brought him out and set him outside the city.”

on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the
heavens.”
• Gen. 19:25 “So He overthrew those cities, all the plain,
all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the
ground.”
• Gen. 19:26 “But his wife looked back behind him, and
she became a pillar of salt.”

13. what kind of state of mind
• 1 Samuel 15:22 22 So Samuel said: “Has the LORD as
great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in
obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is
better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.
• Rom. 8:13 “For if you live according to the flesh you
will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds
of the body, you will live.”
• Gal. 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no
longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
