READ: Job 40:4 - John 1:29--2 Cor 6:2- -Act 13:40--Rev. 22:12
The Bible is about--Ruin--Redemption of man
INTRO: "Behold"--Exclamation!! See, Understand-Calling special

Job is calling attention to:
"BEHOLD!!"
1. THE RUIN OF MAN
Vile--no account, not acceptable. 39 times
"cursed"
Adam's sin brought a curse:
Upon the serpent Gen 3:14
Upon the ground Gen 3:17
God immediately removed it from man- Gen 3:21--"coats of skin"
First man cursed was Cain--Gen 4:11
Gal 3:10 Cursed............
Not cursed because of what we ARE-- But what we DO.
None judged for what they ARE but what they DO. "Every man according
to his works"
BEHOLD!!
2. THE REDEMPTION OF MAN
Jn 1:29
Back to before the world Rev 13:8
Forward--Exod 12: e-x-p-l-a-i-n
Toward--Jn 1:29
"Taketh"=take up (32) take away (25)
"Sin" a noun--our defilement.
1 John 1:7--Rev 1:5--
BEHOLD!!
3. THE RECEPTION OF MAN
2 Cor 6:2--The day He is receiving sinners
FIRST--application to Christ Psm 69:13--Isa 49:8
PROPITIATION--1 John
2:2-4:14
God accepted it.
NOW CAN RECEIVE SINNERS
Luke 15:2--receiveth sinners
Jn 6:37--
BEHOLD!
4. THE RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS
Rev. 22:12 "I come quickly"
BEHOLD!!
5. THE REJECTION OF MAN
ACTS 13:40
"Despisers--those who think light of;
Matt 22--"made light of it"
"Wonder"--marvel at a wondeful
thing"
Salvation is such--stagger at it.

sight.
