The Free State of Glory (Part 45): Those Within and Those Without, Part 3

TEXT: Revelation 22:13-15

From this passage, we have talked about the two groups of people who will be alive when the New Heaven and the New Earth are created. There will, of course, be those who received Jesus Christ as Savior while on this earth and who served Him faithfully. They will be allowed into the New Jerusalem; they will live within its gates. Then there will be those who are without the gates of the New Jerusalem. These people are those who rejected Christ in this life and who did not serve Him. Paul characterizes them as wild "dogs" who are unclean, people who loved their sin more than the chance at Heaven.
