Good morning to everyone. We'll be in Romans chapter 4
today, the latter part of the chapter. The name of the message
is God is able. God is able. Romans chapter 4. Starting in verse 20 to 25, He staggered not at the promise
of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory
to God, and being fully persuaded that what he had promised, he
was able also to perform. Abraham was fully persuaded that
God could perform what he had promised. And therefore it was imputed
to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his
sake alone that it was imputed to him, but for us also to whom
it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus,
our Lord from the dead, who was delivered for our offenses, for
our sins, and raised again for our justification. What a mighty
God. What a wonderful, merciful Savior
is the Lord Jesus Christ. In this portion of Scripture,
Abraham's faith is spoken of. Believers in Christ Jesus our
Lord have been persuaded and taught by the Holy Spirit of
God that God is able to perform that which He has been pleased
to do, that which He has decreed, that which He has purposed. And
we know that we are unable to do it for ourselves. The way some folks talk, In religion, you can tell that they think
that God is up there reacting to the actions of men. That is not the God of the Bible. He has planned, purposed, and
decreed the salvation of His people, and He is able He is
able to save every single one of His sheep. God does not react to the circumstances
going on here. He already knows they're all
going to happen. And everything is happening according
to what He has purposed and what He has decreed. in whom also
we have obtained an inheritance being predestinated according
to the purpose of Him, God, who worketh all things after the
counsel of His own will." Beloved, He works all things
after the counsel of His own will. When the Lord Jesus Christ
grants us faith to believe, We are persuaded and totally
satisfied in the ability of our sovereign God to accomplish salvation
for all His people, for we who believe. He's able. He's able to accomplish it all. We have been brought to an end
of ourselves. And this is what Christ does.
This is what the Holy Spirit does. He brings us to an end
of ourselves. Where we see no hope, we see
we're not able to save ourselves. But we are given eyes to see
and ears to hear. that God is able to save His
people from their sins. And the Lord Jesus Christ did
it. We're not able. Oh, but He's
able. So we're shut up. We're shut
up to Christ. We can't go anywhere else but
to Him. And we don't desire to go anywhere
else but Him. were made willing in the day
of His power. And we run to Christ. The believer
has had Christ revealed to him or to her. And we see our utter
lack of ability to save ourselves. The utter lack of ability. Turn,
if you would, to Luke, chapter 15. Now in religion they have a list
of things that you have to do or don't do, right? Those of
us who came out of religion know that, that they have this list
of things you can do, things you can't do. But you know that
it's impossible for them to justify themselves before God by their
own works. And yet they don't even know
it. I didn't know it until God revealed the fact that I had
no ability in myself to save myself. None at all. Is it so with you? And the list
just keeps growing. It doesn't get shorter. It just
keeps growing. But religion is man's attempt
to find God and be saved by their own works and deeds. Christianity
is God finding man lost and undone and bankrupt and saving him. There's a huge difference. There's
a huge difference. Look in Luke chapter 15 here.
Oh, we have a picture of how God is able in our inability.
Now remember, the sheep that's spoken of here is lost. He's
lost. He's out in the wilderness. But
look at this first verse. What a wonderful verse for sinners.
Then drew near unto Him all the publicans and sinners, for to
hear Him. Our Lord Jesus Christ ate and talked with sinners."
That's good news. That's good news for we who are
sinners. Those who were sin-sick, He ate and sat with them. Good news for sinners. He receives
sinners who come to Him by faith. He receives them. Look at, in the Pharisees, here
come the religious folks, in the Pharisees and scribes murmured
saying, this man receive his sinners and eateth with them.
Oh, they were so far above the publicans and sinners. Now think of this. They thought
they were so far above those publicans and sinners. And here's
the God of glory eating with them. Oh, what a great God we have. What a great God we have. Here, right before us in this
text, we have the ones who have no need of a physician. No need of a physician, as they
thought that they were whole. But they did not know they were
full of self-righteousness. And there's Christ eating with
the very ones who desperately need Him. We not see a picture of us before
conversion and after? Self-justification will take
a man right to hell. And these Pharisees thought that
they had the ability to save themselves by their deeds, by
who they were, by what they observed. They have no need for a physician.
But those who are sick do, right? That's the publicans and sinners.
Praise God, that's his people. These Pharisees thought that
they had the ability to save themselves by their deeds, but
they were lost and in desperate need of the Savior. But they
did not see Him, and they did not know Him. And look, and He
spake this parable unto them, saying, So our Lord speaks in
a parable, as He often did to the religious folks, What man
of you, having a hundred sheep, If he lose one of them, doth
not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after
that which is lost, until he find it." The hundred sheep here
pictures the whole number of God's elect. All of God's elect are His sheep. Whether in heaven,
or whether called, or whether to be called, this is a picture
of God's elect, and only God knows who they are. And the sheep
going astray pictures every one of God's left. By nature, we
went astray. Born into this world, dead in
trespasses and sins, lost, and we didn't even know it. Out in the wilderness. Out in the wilderness. By nature, the children of wrath,
even as others, dead in trespasses and sins. That was our state.
Just like that lost sheep. And here is mention of one of
those sheep who had gone astray. And as I said, all of God's sheep
have gone astray. We're all lost. And we must be
found by the great shepherd. We must be found by him. You
ever hear people say, I found Jesus? He went lost. We were. We were. What a picture. What a picture
of the great shepherd of our soul seeking out the lost sheep. This is to let, one commentator
said this, this is to let us know the love of Christ to every
one of his sheep, that he loves them with an everlasting love,
and he seeks them out. He seeks us out. And think of
this, if there had only been one elect, we know there's many,
but if there had only been one elect sheep of God, they would
have had to be redeemed. They would have had to be redeemed.
Christ still would have had to come to this earth. But we know
from scripture that there's a number that no man can number. And he's redeemed them. This
picture here before us speaks of all the elect of God. The
lost sheep pictures every one of God's sheep and note the shepherd
seeks the sheep. The shepherd seeks the sheep. We are lost and undone in sin. He is able to find his sheep
and carry them home. He lovingly draws us. The Holy
Spirit draws us to Christ with loving courts. Look, verse 5. And when he found it, he layeth
it on his shoulders rejoicing, so that sheep can gaze in the
eyes of the Savior. So that sheep can gaze in the
eyes of the shepherd. I told you guys a story about
when I was in religion and they said that the shepherd would
break the legs of the sheep No, He lovingly picks up that lamb
and puts it upon His shoulders and carries it home, beloved.
And this is what Christ does for every one of His people.
We were lost. He finds us and He takes us home,
beloved. He takes us home. And then when he comes home,
he calls together his friends and neighbors saying, rejoice
with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost. The shepherd's
going after the lost sheep until he finds it, then bringing it
home upon his shoulders, shows us the infinite love of Christ
for his people. The infinite love of Christ,
both in leaving his Father's throne in glory, leaving heaven
above where the angels worshipped him, and bow down before Him to come and to seek and to save
that which is lost, to purchase and ransom His people from their
sins by His death upon the cross. And then He sends the Holy Spirit
to lovingly draw, fetch in grace, to fetch His people by the preaching of the Gospel.
And the shepherd calls the name of the sheep, right? He calls
them by name in the preaching of His Word. And the sheep, what? Run to Christ. Think of this. Can you not picture a shepherd
out in the night, maybe, calling for one of his little lambs that's
lost? And the sheep, in seeing Him,
what does it do? Oh, beloved, it runs to Him. When it hears
Him calling, it runs to Him. and finds refuge in the Shepherd. Oh, do we not find refuge from
our sins in the great Shepherd of our souls, the Lord Jesus
Christ? He sought us out. We did not
seek Him. We were lost and wandering around,
and He sought us out. Amazing grace, how sweet the
sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now
I'm found. Was blind, but now I see. T'was grace that taught my heart
to fear, and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed when He found me. Is it not so with you? When He
found you. Amazing grace. The Shepherd seeks
out His people. We are saved by His power. He
must bring us home to glory. He is able. We are unable to
save ourselves, but He is able to save His people from their
sins, and He has done it. And in verse 7 of Luke 15, it
says, I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one
sinner that repenteth, more than over 99 just persons which need
no repentance. Believers rest in God's ability
to save His people from their sins. He's our hope. He's our
rest. We have absolutely no confidence
in our flesh. None at all. None at all. We've come to an end of ourselves.
And we say with Paul, we rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence
in the flesh. None. None. David said this,
I will cry unto God most high, unto God that performeth all
things for me. That which I could never do,
I could never save myself, He saved my soul. So let's look at the Word of
God and let's see what God is able to perform all things for
us in salvation in and through the Lord Jesus Christ. Turn,
if you would, to Hebrews 7. And let us remember as we look
at these points that our utter lack of ability to save ourselves
and the fact that we did not seek God, but that He sought
us out. It's wonderful. Because by nature,
we would never, ever, ever seek Him. Oh, and this is our hope, that
if you're one of God's lost sheep, oh, that maybe today He would
rescue you. He'll get all His sheep, there's
no doubt. He'll get them all. But oh, that this might be the
day of salvation. The day that you hear the shepherd's
voice. Hebrews 7, verse 25, Wherefore
He is also to save them to the uttermost. Now, folks often say,
well, you don't know how bad of a sinner I am. Well, no. I
know how bad of a sinner I am, though. And He saved me. And Scripture here declares,
wherefore, He is able also to save them to the uttermost that
come unto God by Him. See, and He ever liveth to make
intercession for them. The Lord Jesus Christ is the
possessor of supernatural divine power. He has all power, beloved. He's God incarnate in the flesh.
And He is able to save to perfection, that word outermost in the Greek,
perfection to the full through all time. He is able to save to the full. It's finished. There's nothing
to be added. Christ did it all. And we have
eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. He is able to save
His people from their sins. It's guilt, it's stain, and it's
power. He's able to save us from the
curse of sin and from the wrath and justice of God, which leads to eternal death.
God's people receive eternal life in and through Jesus Christ
our Lord. We are ruined in Adam. Ruined. Fell in the garden. We fell in
Adam. And we come into this world with
no ability. No ability to save ourselves,
yet man still thinks he can save himself. But he can't. We have no ability,
unable to improve or change our standing before a holy and righteous
God. We're alienated, enemies in our
minds by wicked works. But God in Christ has done what
the elect could never do for themselves. He is able to save His people. Wherefore He is able also to
save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him. Our God
is able and willing to save His people from their sins. And this
is what's vital, too. Folks always talk about their
supposed free will, right? The only will I'm concerned about
is the will of God for the salvation of my soul. Turn to Luke chapter 5 and we'll
see a seeking sinner in a willing Savior. And remember, it's the
Savior that seeks out His people, right? This leper came to Christ
begging for mercy. He's like all seeking sinners.
who have had revealed to them their desperate state before
God. Look in Luke 5, verse 12, And it came to pass, when he
was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy. Now that's
a picture of us full of sin. Full of sin. This man has no
ability to cure himself. None. He's in the latter stages. He's full. who seeing Jesus, oh, he saw
Christ, fell on his face and besought Him, saying, Lord, if
Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. The word besought means to be
in want, to need, to ask, to request, to beg. We come before the Lord God as
mercy beggars, beloved. Begging God to save us. And look at our Master's reply.
We see a willing Saviour. A willing Saviour. Look at this.
And He put forth His hand and touched them saying, I will.
Be thou clean. What a picture of one of God's
sheep being cleansed from all their sins and iniquities, and
immediately the leprosy departed from them. What a picture of he who can
cleanse one who is full of sin. full of the leprosy of sin. And
how does He do it? By the shedding of His own precious
blood. I will. It is finished. He willingly died upon the cross
for His people. He is a willing Savior. Salvation is impossible for man
to accomplish on our own. The disciples once asked our
Master, Who can be saved? After he told them that it's
easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle,
or a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than the rich man to be saved.
They said, who then can be saved? And our master's reply, our great
king's reply was, with man, it is impossible. It's impossible for man to save
himself. But not with God, for with God
all things are possible. He is able. He is able to save
His people from their sins. Oh, our Lord Jesus Christ became
the surety and the mediator of His people, and He fully accomplished
salvation for His people by His life and by His death. He satisfied
God's law and justice in the place of His people. He's able,
beloved. Sinner friend, He's able. He's
able to save to the outermost those who come to Him. Oh, that
He'd make you willing. The second point is He's able
to keep you from falling. Turn, if you would, to Jude.
Jude. And this wonderful verse brings
great comfort to God's people. In the past and even today. Look
at this wonderful verse. Verse 24. Now unto him that is
able. Again, we see the same verbiage.
He's able. We're not able to keep ourselves,
are we? Look at this. Now unto him that is able to
keep you from falling and to present you faultless. Faultless before the presence of His glory.
Faultless before a holy and righteous God who cannot have sin in His
presence. Why? Because the believers clothe
in the righteousness of Christ. Faultless before the presence
of His glory with exceeding joy. Oh. Now in religion, I've heard this
many times through the years, Folks have drummed up a God of
their imagination. They've drummed up a God of their
imagination, who saves people, but then, well, they can lose
their salvation. And this is not the God of the
Bible. Think of this. If God cannot keep you, then
He's not the God of the Bible. Because that's a little g they
have. That's a God that the idle factory
of their minds has made up. But it's not the God of the Bible,
because the God of the Bible is able to keep you from falling.
He's able. Again, it goes back to Him. The
believer in Christ is saved by the power of God. Turn, if you
would, to Romans 1.16 and 1 Peter 1. The believer is saved by the
power of God, and the believer is kept by the power of God.
He is able. Well, we're not able, but He
is able. Left to ourselves, we'd be in
a heap of trouble. But God is able. Remember, He's
the author and what? The finisher of our salvation,
isn't He? He's able. Look at Romans 1.16. And remember this, that God's
salvation is saving grace. And God's salvation is keeping
grace too. And it's all by the power of
God. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it
is the power of God unto salvation. It's God's power. We are saved
by God's power in Christ. The Holy Spirit regenerates us.
His power The power of God unto salvation
to who to everyone that believe it To the Jew first and also to
the Greek and in turn if you went over to first Peter So there
we see the power of God at work in the salvation of the sinner
Now we see the power of God again keeping the sinner 1 Peter 1, verse 1. Peter, an apostle
of Jesus Christ to the strangers scattered throughout Pontius,
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to
the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification
of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of
Jesus Christ. Grace unto you, and peace be multiplied. Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according
to His abundant mercy hath begotten us. He's the author of our salvation,
born again by the Holy Spirit of God. Unto a lively hope by
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance
incorruptible and undefiled. We can't mess it up. That doesn't give us a license
to go crazy. We're not antinomian. We don't believe we can walk
out the door and do whatever we please. No, the love of Christ
constrains us from sin. And when we sin, we mourn. We
repent. To an inheritance, though, incorruptible
and undefiled, undefiled, beloved, and it fadeth not away, reserved
in heaven for you. Now, we've talked about a reservation.
You make a reservation, and it's waiting there for you, right?
Reserved in heaven for you. For you who believe. Look at
verse 5. Who are kept. Who are kept. Who are kept by the power of
God. Kept by the power of God. Through faith unto salvation.
We believe. And we continue to believe. Unto
salvation. Ready to be revealed in the last
time. So God is able to do that which we could never do for ourselves.
We could never save ourselves, and we could never keep ourselves.
Because we're sinners. And those of us who are saved,
we're just saved sinners. One day we won't sin anymore.
And oh, I just can't even imagine how that's going to be. There
will be no sin in heaven. It'll be amazing. Amazing. So that which we could never
do, Christ Jesus our Lord has done for us and he is able. He's
able. The Lord Jesus Christ, turn if
you would to John chapter 10. The Lord Jesus Christ gives his
sheep eternal life. He keeps them. He gives them
eternal life. Eternal life means eternal life.
It's not temporary life until you blow it. It's eternal life. And it's only
in Christ, it's not in anything we do. And this is a wonderful,
majestic, mighty Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ gives His
sheep eternal life and they never perish. And beloved, this is
precious truth to the believer. Precious truth to save sinners
who struggle every day. We do, don't we? Every day. And we have no power to save
ourselves, and we know we have no power to keep ourselves. Look
at John chapter 10, verses 27 to 30. My sheep. Remember the lost sheep? My sheep. God has a sheep. He has many
sheep. They're called His elect. My
sheep, hear my voice. through the preaching of the
Word. And I know them, I gnoskono, I gnoskono, I know them intimately. Intimately, that Greek word talks
about the intimacy of a husband and wife. They know, I know them.
And what? And they follow me. They follow me. And I give unto them eternal
life. It's a gift of God, in and through
the Lord Jesus Christ. And they shall, remember, He's
able to keep us from falling. And they shall what? Never perish,
beloved. Neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand. My Father which gave them me
is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of
my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. God
incarnate in the flesh. The great shepherd of our souls. The Lord Jesus Christ. And I
tell you, salvation is in no other. Only in Christ. Only in Christ. We are in Christ and in the Father's
hand. What blessed security for the
believer. The third point I'd like to look
at is He is able to build up the believer. Look at Acts chapter
20. To build up the believer through the preaching of the
Word, through the studying and reading of God's Word. God's
grace is stripping grace. It strips the sinner of all self-righteousness. It'll strip the sinner of all
confidence in his own works. And it builds us up in Christ.
It builds us up in Christ. Look at Acts 20, verse 32. And now, brethren, I command
you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build
you up. and to give you an inheritance
among all them that are sanctified. All the gospel strips us of our
self-righteousness, leads us away from ourselves, and leads
us to the rock, the foundation, the sure foundation, the Lord
Jesus Christ, the object of our faith. The word of His grace
is also sometimes called the word of faith, of truth, of righteousness,
of reconciliation and salvation, because it's all in Christ and
Him alone. It's nowhere else. Nowhere else. The gospel will tear down our
refugee lies. It will destroy the gods of our
imagination. Vicki and I were talking about
folks who don't even read their Bible, folks who are lost, and
yet they think that God will never send anyone to hell, except
for Hitler, of course, and the serial killers, and ax murderers,
and whatever else. But surely not me, because I'm
not a bad person. I'm a good person. No. No. There's none righteous. No, not
one. None. Oh, He's the Savior of sinners. And the Gospel will tear down
our refuge of lies. It destroys the God of our imagination
and it will reveal the one true God. The one true God. The one true Savior. The Lord
Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ. And the
Gospel for the believer tears us down, reminding us continually,
right, that salvation is not of our works. Not of our works. And then what does it do? It
builds us up in Christ, doesn't it? Builds us up in Christ and
we become strengthened by the preaching of Christ and Him crucified.
By the preaching of the One who accomplished, the One who is
able to save us. Builds us up, gives us strength
to keep going. Oh, it's wonderful. Speaks of our Lord, the great
substitute for sinners, who has accomplished salvation for his
people. How? By the sacrifice of himself. He did it all, beloved. He did that which we were not
able to do. And the Gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ is the proclamation of the free grace of God in Christ
Jesus, who is the only Savior for sinners. The only Savior of our eternal
souls. And only He is able, beloved. All the religions in the world
are not able to save you or me. But the Lord Jesus Christ can
save sinners. And He did on Calvary's cross. He redeemed His people from their
sins. Turn if you would to Matthew
chapter 1. God by the word of his grace
is able to build up his people. Look at this marvelous scripture.
Matthew chapter 1, I know we've read it hundreds of times probably. But look at the proclamation
in this wonderful verse. Matthew 1, verse 21. And she
shall bring forth a son. That's Christ. The Lord Jesus
Christ. God manifested in the flesh. And thou shalt call his name
Jesus. There's his name. The name above every name. The
Lord Jesus Christ. And look what he shall do. For
he shall save his people. He's able. And notice it doesn't say He
might save His people. For He shall save His people. From what? Their sins. Oh, what a great Savior. What
a great God. Think of this, too. And how He
is able to build us up, right? The Word of God is the children's
bread. It's sheep food. It's sheep food. We feast upon
it. We're nourished. As newborn babes
desire the sincere milk of the word, that she may grow thereby,
if so be ye uptasted that the Lord is gracious. The word of
God is sheep food. Green pastures. He maketh me
to lie down in green pastures, the green pastures of His Word,
beloved. Clover. Remember an old grace
preacher telling me, once you heard grace preaching, it ruins
you for everything else, because it's clover for the God's sheep.
They just love it. We just feast upon it, don't
we? We just feast upon it. God saved me. I'm not able to
save myself, but Christ saved me because this Word tells me
He did. And I believe. We saw this morning
in Sunday school that Paul rejoiced when believers believed on Christ,
when they had faith upon Christ and their love for the brethren.
Oh, what a mighty Savior. It's food for us, though. In
the last verse, we look at Philippians 3, verse 21. He is able to subdue
all things to himself. He is able to subdue all things
unto Himself. Philippians 3.21, Who shall change
our vile body. Philippians 3.21, Who shall change our vile body
that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body according
to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things
unto Himself. Now for the believer in Christ,
All their sins have been forgiven. He has subdued all of our sins. Forgiven. And He is able. Now think of this. We are not
able to pay for one of our sins. Not one. I can't pay for even
one. But the Lord Jesus Christ has
paid for all my sins. and all the sins of the elect
upon Calvary's cross. Everything that God demanded
for every single sin that we will commit, He paid it off. Is that not mercy? Is that not
grace? We are not able But by the shedding
of His precious blood, He paid the ransom for all our sins.
Turn, if you would, to Hebrews chapter 9. The Lord Jesus Christ
sacrificed Himself in the room in place of His people. He put away sin. He offered up
His blood to God within the veil. Taking away our sins by His own
precious blood. The guilt, stain, and power of
all the sins of all the elect of all the ages. Therefore, justifying
believers from any condemnation. by his death upon the cross.
Look at Hebrews 9.26. For then must he often have suffered
since the foundation of the world, but now once in the end of the
world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of
himself. The Lord Jesus Christ dies in
the room of sinners upon Calvary's tree. He offered himself up He
died and suffered in the place of His people to put away sin
by the sacrifice of Himself. Hebrews 9.26. He is able. He's able, beloved. The Lord Jesus Christ, by His
infinite sacrifice for His people, subdued all their sins. This
is good news for sinners. Good news for sinners. And one
day, beloved, He will change our vile bodies and fashion it
like unto His own glorious body. And what a day that will be. What a day that will be. We are unable to deliver ourselves
from our sins, but God is able to deliver us from our sins in
and through the Lord Jesus Christ. So we have looked at the fact
that we cannot save ourselves, but Christ is able to save us
what? To the uttermost. He's able to save all who come
to Him. Come unto Me, all ye that are... Are you heavy laden
with sin? Are you burdened with sin? Flee
to Christ. Flee to Christ. We are unable to redeem ourselves,
but Christ, by the shedding of His own precious blood, has redeemed
His people. We are unable to justify ourselves,
aren't we? But in Christ we are justified
before a holy and righteous God. We are unable to satisfy the
law and justice of God by our own works and our own actions.
But Christ has satisfied God's law and justice by the sacrifice
of himself in the place of his people. We are unable to provide
for our spiritual needs. But we've looked at God has satisfied
and provided all that a sinner needs in Christ. All in Christ. All spiritual
blessings are in Christ Jesus our Lord. And that's justification,
redemption, sanctification, wisdom. They're all in Christ. Turn if
you would to John 6.35 and we're closed with this. And think of
this too. We are unable to do these things,
right? As we saw that lost sheep, unable to save himself. So we're
unable to do these things. We're unable to redeem ourselves.
We're unable to save ourselves. But Christ is able. He is able
to save all that the Father has given Him. And all the lost sheep
will be gathered into Christ. Look at John 6, verse 35-37. Jesus said unto them, I am the
bread of life. He that cometh to me shall never
hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Are
you hungry? Are you thirsty? Oh, that God
would make you hungry and thirsty for Him, for Christ. But I said unto you, that ye
have not seen Me, and believe not, all that the Father giveth
Me shall come to Me. And look at this. Him that cometh to Me, I will
in no wise cast out. May God grant your faith to believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ.
