What do you think of when you share the gospel? God's kindness? God's forgiveness? Do you ever think of God's judgement? Probably not as much.

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.
0:05.0	Where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:09.0	In the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.0	I'm Patrick Miller.
0:18.0	If someone asked you to summarize the gospel, what would you say? I ask because Revelation 14 includes a gospel presentation quite unlike any I have ever heard and I can't help but wonder why and what we can learn from it.
0:29.0	What if our vision of the gospel is missing a key ingredient.

1:26.9	But in this life, it's easy to forget about the future.
1:30.5	John wants us to remember the future, to live toward the future.
1:35.0	But here's the thing, the redemption of God's people isn't the only thing that will happen
1:39.2	in the future.
1:40.3	John also says that those who don't worship Jesus will face his justice,
