GOD’S HEART FOR THE NATIONS

Truth to Teach (Source)

Revelation 7:9-10 ‘There before me was a great multitude that no-one could

count, from every tribe, people and language, standing before
the throne and in front of the Lamb … And they cried with a
loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.” ’

Acts 17:26 ‘God determined the exact places where they (the nations)

should live.’

John 3:16 ‘God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’

1 Timothy 2:2 Prayer for the rulers and authorities of nations

Mark 11:17 ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.’

 God’s desire is for all nations to know him through acknowledging his Son and
becoming part of his world-wide family on earth and in eternity; this is their true
destiny.

 Every nation has been allocated a place to live.

 There is immense variety in the nations and God’s heart is that the nations
co-operate with one another.

 Concern for other nations may be expressed practically and/or in prayer.
