KINGSPORT SOVEREIGN GRACE CHURCH,
LOCATED AT 905 YADKIN STREET IN KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE, WOULD
LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO LISTEN TO A MESSAGE OF SOVEREIGN GRACE
BY THEIR PASTOR, GABE STONIKER. AND NOW, PASTOR GABE STONIKER. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING A MESSAGE
TO YOU TODAY FROM ROMANS CHAPTER 9. ROMANS CHAPTER 9. THE APOSTLE PAUL HERE very confidently
said something in the first verse that every man who is called
of God to preach must have the same confidence in. This is a
very important message today. And my prayer is that I will
be able to get through this message in the amount of time that we
have for this program. But this is a very, very important
message. He said in verse one, I say the
truth in Christ, I lie not. My conscience also bearing me
witness in the Holy Ghost. He very confidently said, I am
telling you the truth. I'm telling you the truth. And
he said, I am not lying to you. Now, Paul plainly declared in
the scripture. Our Lord plainly declared in
the scripture. All of the scripture declares
that there are many men out there whose message is a message of
lies. That's just so. Just turn anywhere
to the scripture and you can find that to be so. The scripture
says, MANY FALSE PROPHETS HAVE GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD. THAT'S
WHAT IT SAYS. THERE ARE MANY PREACHERS OUT
THERE WHO DO NOT SAY THE TRUTH IN CHRIST. THEY LIE. THAT MAY BE SHOCKING TO SOME,
BUT IT'S TRUE. IT'S TRUE. BUT THIS IS WHAT THE
APOSTLE PAUL SAID. HE SAID, MY CONSCIENCE BEARS
ME WITNESS IN THE HOLY GHOST. He said, the Holy Spirit of God
has given me a confidence in this, an absolute confidence. The message that I'm delivering
to you, he said, is not a message of lies. I'm not lying to you. He said, I say the truth in Christ. Now, how could Paul say that? REALLY? WITH SUCH CONFIDENCE?
WITH SUCH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE? HOW COULD PAUL SAY THAT? TURN
BACK A FEW PAGES TO ACTS CHAPTER 28. IF YOU LOOK WITH ME AT ACTS
28 VERSE 30, IT SAYS, AND PAUL DWELT TWO WHOLE YEARS IN HIS
OWN HIRED HOUSE AND RECEIVED ALL THAT CAME IN UNTO HIM, WATCH
VERSE 31, PREACHING THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND TEACHING THOSE THINGS
WHICH CONCERN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AND HE DID IT WITH ALL
CONFIDENCE, NO MAN FORBIDDING HIM. HOW COULD HE CONFIDENTLY
SAY, I'M NOT LYING TO YOU. I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH. HOW
COULD HE DO THAT? IT'S BECAUSE HE WAS DETERMINED
TO KNOW NOTHING AND TO PREACH NOTHING AND TO TEACH NOTHING
BUT JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED." THAT'S THE REASON WHY. HE SAID, THE ONLY THING THAT
I'M GONNA PREACH TO YOU IS WHAT GOD HAS WRITTEN IN THIS WORD
CONCERNING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUE OF
SALVATION, IT'S GONNA BE THE WORD OF CHRIST. on the accomplishment
of Christ alone. Alone. Paul said, I'm not going
to add my opinion to it. And he didn't. He said, I'm not
going to add my father's traditions to it. He said, I used to thrive
in that. I threw it all away. He did not
do that. He said, I'm not going to change
it. HE SAID, I'M NOT GONNA TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM IT. HE SAID, I'M JUST GONNA PREACH
IT. HE SAID, I'M NOT GONNA PREACH
HALF OF IT. YOU KNOW, TELLING HALF THE TRUTH CAN STILL BE A
LIE. HE SAID, IT'S GONNA BE THE TRUTH
OF THE WORD ON THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE. BY GOD'S GRACE, IT'S GONNA BE
THE WHOLE TRUTH and nothing but the truth, so help me God. Turn with me over to 1 Corinthians
1. IN FIRST CORINTHIANS 1, VERSE 17, PAUL SAID, FOR CHRIST SENT
ME NOT TO BAPTIZE, BUT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL, NOT WITH WISDOM OF
WORDS, NOT TO COME AND IMPRESS PEOPLE WITH THIS GREAT KNOWLEDGE
OF WORDS THAT I HAVE. AND HE SAID, THAT'S NOT IT. LEST
THE CROSS OF CHRIST SHOULD BE MADE OF NONE EFFECT. FOR THE
PREACHING OF THE CROSS IS TO THEM THAT PERISH FOOLISHNESS. IF A PERSON THINKS JUST PREACHING
CHRIST CRUCIFIED, THAT'S FOOLISHNESS. WELL, THAT'S EVIDENCE OF A PERSON
WHO WILL PERISH. BUT TO US WHICH ARE SAVED, IT'S
THE POWER OF GOD. FOR IT IS WRITTEN, I WILL DESTROY
THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND WILL BRING TO NOTHING THE UNDERSTANDING
OF THE PRUDENT. WHERE IS THE WISE? WHERE IS THE
SCRIBE? Where is the disputer of this
world? Hath not God made foolish the
wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom
of God, the world by wisdom knew not God. It pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews
require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom, but we preach
Christ crucified. UNTO THE JEWS, THAT'S A STUMBLING
BLOCK, AND UNTO THE GREEKS, THAT'S FOOLISHNESS. BUT UNTO THEM WHICH
ARE CALLED, BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS, CHRIST IS THE POWER OF GOD AND
THE WISDOM OF GOD. SOMEBODY WILL SAY, WELL, YEAH,
BUT WHAT ABOUT MAN'S ROLE? OKAY, YOU'RE GOING TO PREACH
CHRIST AND WHAT HE DID, BUT WHAT ABOUT MAN'S ROLE IN THIS? WHAT ABOUT MAN'S WILL AND WHAT
ABOUT MAN'S WORKS? WHAT ABOUT MAN'S RESPONSIBILITY? WHAT ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE FLESH? TURN OVER TO PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 3. PHILIPPIANS 3, VERSE
3, IT SAYS, FOR WE ARE THE CIRCUMCISION, WE'RE GOD'S PEOPLE, WHICH WORSHIP
GOD IN THE SPIRIT AND REJOICE IN CHRIST JESUS. OH, WE'RE SO
THANK GOD FOR CHRIST. OUR HOPE AND OUR GOSPEL IS WRAPPED
UP IN THE PERSON AND THE WORK AND THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST. HE SAID WE'RE THE CIRCUMCISION WHICH WORSHIP GOD IN THE SPIRIT
AND REJOICE IN CHRIST JESUS AND HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FLESH. None. None. We worship God in the spirit.
We rejoice in Christ Jesus and we leave man's ability and man's
work and man's flesh out of it. We cast it out. We throw it all
away. We preach only what is written
concerning the ability and the work and the accomplishment of
the Lord Jesus Christ. NOW, WHAT PAUL SAYS CONCERNING
HIMSELF AND HIS OWN PREACHING, PAUL SAYS THE SAME THING TO EVERY
OTHER MAN WHO HAS BEEN CALLED TO PREACH. EVERY OTHER MAN. TURN WITH ME TO 2ND TIMOTHY,
CHAPTER 4. OVER IN 2ND TIMOTHY 4, VERSE
1, PAUL SAID, I CHARGE THEE, THEREFORE, BEFORE GOD AND THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO SHALL JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD
AT HIS APPEARING AND HIS KINGDOM, PREACH THE WORD. BE INSTANT,
IN SEASON, OUT OF SEASON. REPROVE, THAT MEANS PROVE IT
THROUGH THE WORD. REBUKE, THAT MEANS CORRECT. EXHORT WITH ALL LONG SUFFERING,
THAT MEANS PATIENCE. and with doctrine." Do it with
the Word. "'For the time will come when
they will not endure sound doctrine.'" Men will not want to hear the
Word alone. "'But after their own lust shall
they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears, and they
shall turn away their ears from the truth, and they shall be
turned to fables.'" They'll be turned to lies. And I say, sadly, that is largely
what has happened today. THAT'S LARGELY WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
VERSE 5, HE SAID, BUT WATCH THOU IN ALL THINGS, ENDURE AFFLICTIONS,
DO THE WORK OF AN EVANGELIST, MAKE FULL PROOF OF THY MINISTRY. HOW DOES A MAN MAKE FULL PROOF
OF HIS MINISTRY? MAKE FULL PROOF MEANS FULFILL.
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS. HOW DOES A MAN FULFILL HIS MINISTRY? HERE'S HOW. HE PREACHES THE WORD. THAT'S THE FULL CALLING OF THE
MINISTRY. PREACH THE WORD THAT GOD HAS WRITTEN. WHETHER IT'S
IN SEASON, WHETHER IT'S OUT OF SEASON, POPULAR OR UNPOPULAR,
EITHER WAY, A TRUE GOD-CALLED PREACHER WILL ONLY PREACH ONE
THING. WHAT THE WORD OF CHRIST HAS TO
SAY ABOUT THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF CHRIST. PERIOD. THAT'S IT. NOW DON'T TURN BACK WITH ME,
Paul said in our text that the Holy Ghost had borne witness
to his conscience, borne witness to his heart, that he was preaching
the absolute truth in Christ. And if any man is going to preach
the truth, the Holy Ghost must bear witness of the exact same
thing to that man. Must. YOU CANNOT CONFIDENTLY
DECLARE WHAT YOU'RE NOT CONFIDENT OF. YOU JUST CAN'T. YOU JUST CAN'T. GOD'S SPIRIT
MUST BEAR WITNESS AND CONVINCE. HE MUST CONVINCE. IS HIS WITNESS THAT HE CONVINCES
OF. IF YOU TURN, IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING
WITH ME, TURN ONE PAGE TO TITUS, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 1 SAYS, PAUL,
A SERVANT OF GOD, AND AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST, ACCORDING TO
THE FAITH OF GOD'S ELECT, AND THE ACKNOWLEDGING OF THE TRUTH,
WHICH IS AFTER GODLINESS, THE ACKNOWLEDGING OF THE TRUTH, IN
HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD THAT CANNOT LIE PROMISED BEFORE
THE WORLD BEGAN, BUT HATH IN DUE TIMES MANIFESTED HIS WORD
THROUGH PREACHING, WHICH IS COMMITTED UNTO ME ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT
OF GOD OUR SAVIOR." PAUL SAID, THIS IS WHAT GOD'S SPIRIT HAS
CONVINCED ME OF. HE HAS CONVINCED ME THAT THIS
IS GOD'S WORD. He said, that's what the spirit
has convinced me of. This is God's word and God cannot
lie. God cannot lie. That's what the
spirit will convince every man of who has been called to preach. This is God's word, not man's. God's word. God wrote this and
God cannot lie. Sometimes we casually say, you
know, and I just said it right now. I say, well, Paul said,
or we'll say Peter said, John said, and they did. They did. The Lord used those men. They did physically say it. But
here's the truth of the matter. God said through Paul, GOD SAID
THROUGH PETER. GOD SAID THROUGH JOHN. THESE ARE THE WORDS OF GOD HIMSELF. THESE ARE NOT THE INSTRUCTION
OF MAN. THESE WORDS ARE NOT MAN'S INSTRUCTION.
THESE ARE THE VERY WORDS OF GOD HIMSELF. OVER IN 2ND PETER 1,
IT SAYS, IN 2ND PETER 1, VERSE 20, KNOWING THIS FIRST, THAT
NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. No man came up with any piece
of this on his own. THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF MEN.
MEN FELT LED TO WRITE THIS. THEY WERE MOVED AND THEY PINNED
THE TRUTH THAT WAS IN THEIR HEART, BUT THEY WERE NOT THE ONES WHO
PUT THOSE WORDS THERE. GOD PUT THEM THERE. VERSE 21
SAYS, FOR THE PROPHECY CAME NOT IN OLD TIME BY THE WILL OF MAN,
BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST. So Paul said what he wanted to
say and Peter said and John said what they wanted to say, but
they were all being moved. By the Holy Spirit of God to
say it. And when God's Holy Spirit comes to a man and calls that
man to preach. He will convince that man. Absolutely
convince him that these are not the words of men. These are the
words of God. And therefore, every word in
here is truth. There's no lie in them. It's
truth. And once God's spirit convinces
a man that these words are the truth, he will convince that
man to only preach these words. ONLY THESE WORDS. HE WILL CONVINCE
THAT MAN TO DECLARE THESE WORDS OVER AND OVER AND OVER EVERY
TIME HE STANDS UP. HE WILL CONVINCE THAT MAN THAT
THESE WORDS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS TO GOD'S PEOPLE. WELL, I JUST
TOLD HIM THAT LAST TIME I STOOD UP. WELL, TELL HIM AGAIN. IT'S
NOT GRIEVOUS TO GOD'S PEOPLE. IT'S SAFE. THEREFORE, THAT MAN WILL FILL
HIS MESSAGE WITH THESE WORDS. IF YOU'RE HEARING A GOD-CALLED
MAN, YOU'RE GONNA HEAR THE WORD OF GOD. HE'S GONNA TAKE YOU TO
THE SCRIPTURE. HE'S GONNA OPEN THE SCRIPTURE
TO YOU. HE'S NOT GONNA OPEN HIS OPINION
ON THINGS AND HE'S NOT GONNA GET OFF ON TANGENTS AND ISSUES. HE'S GONNA PREACH GOD'S WORD
TO YOU. what the Word has to say about
God and man and his sinfulness and Christ and his salvation,
the accomplishment of his salvation. And he will convince that man
that as long as he's preaching these words, he's preaching the
truth. He is speaking the truth and
he's not lying to people. It's safe if he'll stay right
here, he's speaking the truth. And he's not lying. The moment
a man gets away from these words, the only thing that'll come out
of his mouth is lies. If he says anything that's not
in agreement with these words, it's a lie. So if I say anything about God
other than what's written right here, it'll be a lie. I'll say
that on myself. If I veer from what this word
has to say about God and Christ, I'll be lying. And that's why
it's a fearful thing. And it's a holy thing. And we
must stay on this word. We have to. Now, if I say that God wants
to do something, anything other than what his word says he wants
to do, I'll be lying to you. You'll hear men say that. Now,
God wants to, well, let's see what God said he wanted to do
here in his word. Anything other than that is a lie. IF I SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT CHRIST OTHER THAN WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THIS WORD
CONCERNING HIM, IT'LL BE A LIE. IF I SAY THAT HE CAME TO ACCOMPLISH
ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT HIS WORD SAYS HE CAME TO ACCOMPLISH,
IT'LL BE A LIE. I'D BE LYING. AND IF I VEER FROM
WHAT THIS WORD SAYS CONCERNING WHO CHRIST ACTUALLY IS, and what
he's actually done for his people, I'll be lying. If I say anything
about man other than what is written in this word concerning
sinful man, it'll be a lie. This word is not high on the
flesh of man, not at all. It has horrible things to say
about man and his flesh. And if I say, well, that's too
hard, let's soften that and let's get away from that a little bit,
I'll be headed to lies, moving towards lies. If I tell you that
man has a right that this word says he doesn't
have, it'll be lies. If I tell you that man has an
ability to do something, if I say, now you have the ability to do,
this is in your power, this is in other than what this word
has to say about man's ability, it'll be lies. See how serious
this is? ALL TRUTH HINGES ON THIS WORD. WHEN GOD CALLS A MAN TO PREACH,
HE'LL CALL THAT MAN TO PREACH HIS WORD. AND IN THE WORD, IN
THE AUTHORITY AND THE POWER THAT GOD HAS VESTED IN HIS WORD, BASED
ON THE WORD OF GOD, THAT MAN CAN SAY WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE,
A CLEAR CONSCIENCE AND ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE, HE'LL SAY, I'M PREACHING
GOD'S TRUTH TO YOU. And I'm not lying. Because of
the authority of the Word of God. Only because of that. Because of the confidence that
the Spirit has given me in the Word of God. Not in me, in the
Word of God. He's not lying. That's why a
man can say that. He's not lying. Jeremiah 23,
don't turn over there, but it begins with God saying, woe to
the pastors who are lying to the people. The people they preach
to, he said, they're preaching their own dreams, things that
they've imagined, things they've made up in their minds about
God. He said, they go around telling everybody now God said,
and you hear that a lot, but this is what he said there. He
said, I didn't say it. YOU CAN'T FIND IT IN MY WORD."
HE SAID, THAT'S HOW YOU CAN KNOW THAT I DID NOT SEND THEM. I DIDN'T
SEND THEM WITH A MESSAGE. THEY'RE NOT PREACHING MY WORD.
THEY'RE PREACHING THEIR OWN WORD. AND HE SAID, IF THEY'RE PREACHING
THINGS ABOUT ME THAT YOU CANNOT FIND IN MY WORD, I DIDN'T SEND
THEM. AND HE SAID, THEY WILL NOT PROFIT
ONE SOUL THAT THEY PREACH TO. Not one soul. He said, he that
has a dream, let him tell his dream. But he that has my word,
let him preach my word faithfully. Now, this has caused me to examine
myself as a preacher, and it should. It ought to cause every
man who is a preacher to examine himself. And it ought to cause
all men and women who hear a message preached to examine themselves
and examine what they're hearing. CAN I SAY WITH THE APOSTLE PAUL
CONCERNING THE MESSAGE I'M PREACHING RIGHT NOW? CAN I SAY THAT I'M
PREACHING THE TRUTH IN CHRIST TO YOU? CAN I SAY THAT? CAN WE ALL AS HEARERS SAY CONCERNING
THE MESSAGE WE'RE HEARING RIGHT NOW? CAN WE SAY, I AM HEARING
THE TRUTH IN CHRIST AND I'M NOT BEING LIED TO? CAN WE SAY THAT? IN EXAMINING THIS AND IN THINKING
ON THIS, THIS REALIZATION CAME TO ME. CONCERNING GOD, AND I
MEAN GOD, AND CONCERNING CHRIST AND CONCERNING SALVATION, CONCERNING
WHAT THE WORD SAYS, IF I WAS A LIAR, I WANT TO MAKE THIS VERY
CLEAR, IF I WAS A LIAR CONCERNING THOSE THINGS, GOD, CHRIST, SALVATION,
IF I WAS A FALSE PROPHET, This is what I would tell you. All
right. This is what I would preach to
you. I would tell you God is not sovereign. If I was a liar,
if I was a false prophet, I would say to you, God is not reigning
and not ruling over all things. I would tell you that all of
his works were not known to him from before the foundation of
the world. He did not order and He did not purpose all things
that are to be done. If I was a speaker of lies, I
would tell you God the Father did not choose a particular people
to save. HE DOES NOT HAVE A CHOSEN ELECT
THAT HE'S PURPOSED TO SET HIS LOVE ON AND SET HIS AFFECTION
ON. HE DID NOT CHOOSE A PARTICULAR BRIDE FOR HIS SON TO LOVE WITH
AN EVERLASTING LOVE. HE DIDN'T DO THAT. IF I DID NOT
SPEAK THE TRUTH IN CHRIST, I WOULD SAY God the Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ, did not finish the work of salvation through the blood
of His cross. He didn't finish it. HE DID NOT
PAY THE PAYMENT. HE CAME TO MAKE A PAYMENT, BUT
HE DIDN'T PAY IT. THAT REDEMPTION, MEANING PAYMENT IN FULL, HE DIDN'T
DO IT. WHEN HE EMPTIED HIS VEINS FOR
THE SIN OF HIS PEOPLE, IT WASN'T ENOUGH. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD TELL
YOU. IF I WAS A LIAR, A PREACHER OF LIES, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT
GOD THE SPIRIT WILL NOT QUICKEN. HE WILL NOT CALL EVERY ONE OF
THOSE CHOSEN REDEEMED PEOPLE BACK TO LIFE AND TO FAITH IN
CHRIST. IF I WAS A LIAR ON THIS SUBJECT,
I WOULD TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO OVERRULE OR CHANGE
OR ALTER GOD'S PURPOSE CONCERNING US. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD TELL
YOU. I'D TELL YOU THAT TO SOME DEGREE THE OUTCOME IS IN OUR
HANDS. Therefore, I would tell you that you should not and you
cannot cast your all on his word. You just can't. I would tell
you that believing on Christ is not enough. You cannot trust
his work alone. You need to add yours to it.
But thanks be to God. AFTER THE EXAMINATION OF THE
WORD AND WHAT GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT BY HIS GRACE HAS CAUSED ME TO
KNOW AND DECLARE CONCERNING IT, ACCORDING TO THE PROOF OF HIS
WORD, HERE'S THE TRUTH, GOD IS SOVEREIGN. GOD IS ABSOLUTELY
SOVEREIGN. ISAIAH 52-7 SAYS, THY GOD REIGNETH. ALL OF HIS WORKS WERE KNOWN TO
HIM FROM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. ISAIAH 46-10 SAYS,
DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING AND FROM ANCIENT TIMES THE THINGS
THAT ARE NOT YET DONE, SAYING, MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND AND I
WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE. AND WHAT WAS HIS PLEASURE? IT
PLEASED GOD THE FATHER TO CHOOSE A PEOPLE. EVERY SOUL PURPOSED
FOR GLORY WAS ELECTED ACCORDING TO THE FORKNOWLEDGE OF GOD. 2
Thessalonians 2 says, GOD HATH FROM THE BEGINNING CHOSEN YOU
TO SALVATION THROUGH SANCTIFICATION OF THE SPIRIT AND BELIEF OF THE
TRUTH. AND HERE IS THE TRUTH IN CHRIST. CHRIST DID FINISH THE WORK OF
SALVATION WHEN HE POURED OUT HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS. IT'S
FINISHED. IT'S ACCOMPLISHED. HE REDEEMED
ALL OF GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE IN FULL. HE CRIED, IT IS FINISHED. BECAUSE HEBREWS 9-12 SAYS, NEITHER
BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, BUT BY HIS OWN BLOOD HE ENTERED
IN ONCE INTO THE HOLY PLACE, HAVING OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION
FOR US. AND WITH THAT, GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT
WILL QUICKEN, HE WILL GIVE LIFE TO, AND HE WILL CALL EVERY CHOSEN,
REDEEMED SOUL BACK TO CHRIST. John 6, 37, Christ said, All
that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh
to me I will in no wise cast out. Thank God we do not have
the ability to overrule or change or alter any of His mercy and
grace that He has purposed for us in Himself. Malachi 3, 6,
He said, I am the Lord, I change not, therefore you sons of Jacob
are not consumed. He's the same yesterday, today,
forever. Therefore, you most certainly
can trust him. You can trust him. Second Peter
5.7 says you can cast all your care upon him because in the
choosing of the father, the blood of the son, the calling of the
spirit, he cares for you. Look to Christ. Look to Christ. Believe on Him. Trust Him. Cast
your all on Him. He's our hope. You have been
