Title: God’s Heart for the Nations (Pt 2)
Text: Revelation 5, 7:9-17
• God’s desire is to bless His people so that He will be praised by all peoples everywhere
• God’s gracious purpose is to show His loving and just nature on the cross in order to
redeem a people from every tribe, tongue, language, and nation for the sake of His
ultimate glory in worldwide worship.
• By His power, God holds the destiny of the all nations in His hand
• Apart from Christ, every nation is utterly hopeless
