Summary: The kingdom of darkness, when encountered by the light, generally responds in ways that are predictable from Christian experience, yet puzzling because the reasons are spiritual and not of this world.
I. The Misunderstandings of the Ungodly. A mere belief in spiritual things or even in Jesus is not an indication of salvation or godliness.
II. The Guilt-Responses of the Ungodly. The burden of the Moral Law on the conscience leads to responses that may include a fear of God, receiving God’s messengers, performing religious activities, and even remorse over sin.
III. The Rejection of the Ungodly. The gospel isn’t merely a promise of eternal life. It is a “way” that makes demands, which, once known, can lead to rejection, not only for individuals but ultimately, for nations. A. The Example Herodias.
B. Other Biblical Examples. 1. Cain. 2. Ahab and Jezebel. 3. The people of Nazareth. 4. Saul of Tarsus. 5. Hebrews 11. 6. Modern history.
