Okay, well, we started looking at Galatians last week, the epistle of Paul, the apostle to the Galatians, and I want to continue that this week in the next passage, verses 6 to 10 of chapter 1. And I'll just read those verses now as we start.

He says, I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you, into the grace of Christ unto another gospel, which is not another, but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men or God, or do I seek to please men? For if I yet please men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Now last week in the first five verses, we saw very simply the true gospel, the true gospel defined. The true gospel is simple. It is so simple. Paul fears for the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 11 verse 3, that they might, if somebody came to them preaching something else, they might depart from the simplicity that is in Christ. Yes, the gospel is absolutely simple, but it's utterly profound. It's unfathomable. Who can get to the depths of what it is that God, infinite being in himself to us as sinners unknowable only knowable in the Lord Jesus Christ that he should formulate if I can put it that way the gospel of God's grace and bring it and declare it and accomplish it for the for the purpose of showing his love to his elect multitude that is the gospel. That is the true gospel.

So profound, we can never fathom it, but yet it's simple. The gospel is good news. The gospel is the declaration, it's the revelation from Almighty God. in heaven. It's a message that you will not find in this world. You find that message in God in heaven. He declares it. We know it by declaration and revelation of God. And it concerns the qualification for entry to his eternal kingdom of peace and righteousness and bliss of the multitude of humanity that he loved from everlasting.

We're all leaving this life. We're all in flesh and bones that are going to grow old and die for one reason or another. Whatever it might be, we're all leaving this life. But where do we go? We have a soul which shall not die, an immortal soul. Where is it going? This gospel concerns the qualification for entry into God's eternal kingdom of peace and righteousness and bliss. And to know the true gospel, and to know the God of the true gospel, for it's the gospel of God, to know the God of the true gospel is life. Jesus said in his high priestly prayer in John 17 verse 3. This is eternal life, to know you, Father, the only true God and Jesus Christ. I think it means by, via Jesus Christ whom he sent.

This gospel is infinite riches. It says he has bestowed upon his people all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. You think, I'm not very well off, I could do with a bit more money. In Christ we have infinite riches, infinite resources. to know that you will inherit his kingdom. Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. It's a state of sublime happiness in a world of turmoil. It's a condition of confidence and comfort because of what this gospel declares. But it must be the gospel of God. and not the gospel that is perverted by sinful man.

Why do I say that? Look at verse 7 of chapter 1. This gospel that some are preaching that come to you, it's not the true gospel. There be some who trouble you that would pervert the gospel of Christ. It's a gospel perverted by sinful man and it's all around us. It's all around us. I've used the illustration before, Bill Clark used to use it all the time. A glass of pure water, crystal clear pure water, nice taste. You put one drop of cyanide in that, it will still look like a glass of water. It will probably even taste, I don't know, I haven't ever gone around tasting cyanide to know what it tastes like, but it might even taste like water. But if you drink that glass of water with that one drop of cyanide in it, it's deadly. It's deadly. Do you believe the true gospel? The true gospel of God? This is the thing.

The verses that we read at the start, Romans 1 to 4, Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God. It's God's gospel, which he had promised aforetime by his prophets in the holy scriptures. The scriptures declare the gospel of God concerning his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. That's the human lineage that he had when God became man. And he's declared to be not just a man, but the son of God with power. according to the spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead. What does that say to us? It says that the gospel, the gospel of God, is consistent with the Old Testament scriptures. And those Old Testament scriptures speak concerning God manifest in the flesh. God manifest in his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. And what he did was vindicated. He lived, he died, and he rose again. It was vindicated by his resurrection. It accomplished its purpose, because the resurrection proves that it accomplished its purpose.

We read last week in 1 Corinthians 15 verses 3 and 4, Christ, this is the gospel, the simple gospel, Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. That's it. He died according to the scriptures for the sins of his people. He was buried and he rose again the third day in accordance with the scriptures. It's in accordance with the scriptures.

Now, why is it relevant to us? Orthodox religion all around us, some of it calling itself Christian, loads of it calling itself Christian. It peddles a perverted gospel which is deceiving. There are many, many warnings about that which will come and will appear like the truth of God, but it's the deception of Satan. It's deceiving. It appears to be in accordance with the scriptures. It appears to be authentic. It appears to have the weight of great tradition and years and years and incredible scholarship, but it's impure and it's poisonous to souls.

You say, who are we here? Who am I to stand up here with the Bible open and to judge these These records of religious history, these people that wrote such profound things, who am I to judge whether what they're preaching and what they left is the truth or a deception? They've got years and years of establishment, years and years of scholarly debate, years and years of tradition. They've got great organizations. I'll tell you who I am. I'm absolutely nobody. But I tell you what, the book that we have here is the word of God. God has exalted his word above all his name. God has exalted his word. It says that in the Psalms. He's exalted his word above all his name. This is the yardstick by which we measure what we hear.

To the law and to the testimony, says Isaiah chapter 8 verse 20. To the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, there is no light, there is no truth in them. And remember last week I mentioned the noble Bereans of Acts 17. They heard what was preached and they compared it, they searched the scriptures daily to see whether what they'd heard was the truth of God. Believers of God's true gospel are all taught of God. Believers are taught of God. We don't need all of these other things. We use whatever helps we can, but we're careful. Because what did Stephen read to us earlier? It says in Psalm 119, verse 99, if you've got the law of the Lord, if you've got the word of God in your hand, This is it. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

Don't be afraid of questioning what's gone before. Compare it with this word. Compare it with that. How do we discern the true from the false? I don't know if you've ever watched it, but Christine loves watching antiques programs and people analyzing antiques. And there's one that is where works of art or seeming works of art are compared, are analysed, it's called, I think it's called fake or fortune, and there might be a picture which purports to be a painting by Rembrandt, and if it is a painting by Rembrandt, and it's been lying in somebody's attic, and they can prove it's a painting by Rembrandt, they've got a fortune, because it'll be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. but it might be fake, it might be a very good forgery, and they go through the process of analyzing it.

Think like that about the gospel. Is the gospel that we've been taught, are the things that we've been handed down, are they fake, or are they eternal spiritual fortune? If your gospel is God's gospel. If your gospel is the gospel of God, it will firstly be entirely consistent with the scriptures, and especially the Old Testament scriptures. Secondly, it will exalt the total absolute sovereignty of God. Thirdly, it will be absolutely clear about the state that we are by nature in the flesh, totally depraved sinners. Fourthly, it will be entirely focused on Jesus Christ and Him crucified and nothing else, nothing else, nothing that we add, nothing to take away. And finally, because it's all those things, if it's the true gospel, it will give not a delusion, but it will give what Hebrews calls the full assurance of faith.

So let's, in the time we have available, look at these things. It will be entirely the gospel of God, is entirely consistent with the Old Testament Scriptures. As I said already, according to the Scriptures. He died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Jesus said, the Old Testament Scriptures, he said, these are they that speak of me. You search the Scriptures for in them you think that you find eternal life. And it's true. If you want eternal life, you come to the Scriptures and search the Scriptures. He said, these are they that speak of me. There was the story told of a young preacher. I think it's been told very many different ways, but Spurgeon told it. A young preacher had an old preacher in his congregation and at the door he's shaking hands with everybody as they leave. And he says to the old preacher, hoping for a pat on the back, he says, what did you think of my sermon, sir? And the old man, the old preacher said, I didn't like it at all. Really? Why not? He said, because there was no Christ in it. He said, but there was no Christ in the text. He said, go and look at the scripture, because As in England, every village has a road that leads to London, so every text of the scripture concerns the Lord Jesus Christ. And your job as a preacher is to find that route to him and get on that road and preach him. It speaks of him.

It concerns a chosen people. Most of the gospels that you will hear around, so-called, do not concern a chosen people because they don't like the idea of that. I once heard a a man say, he said this, he didn't believe in election, he said, people ask me, do I believe in election? And I say, yes, of course I believe in election. He says, I believe that God has chosen those that will prove to have chosen him. That's not what the scripture says. That's not what the scripture says. God is sovereign in all things. It concerns a chosen people. If you were to look at 1 Samuel chapter 12, 1 Samuel chapter 12 and verse 20, Samuel said unto the people, fear not, ye have done all this wickedness, yet turn, look, they were sinners, yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. Verse 22, for the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake because It has pleased the Lord to make you his people. That's election. That's the choice of God of a people for his own glory, for his own eternal purposes. Despite their sin, God chose them.

This book, the Old Testament, pictures In its wisdom, it pictures that there's only one way to the tree of life. You get that right back at the end of Genesis 3 and going into Genesis 4. There's only one way to the tree of life, and that is redemption from sin by blood sacrifice. And it's pictured by Abel's Lamb. And it points to the Messiah. It points to God coming in flesh, coming to accomplish salvation. coming to satisfy offended divine justice concerning the sin of his people as the substitute of those people for the specific people that he had chosen. He said that his people, it says in Revelation, There's a multitude in heaven. He looked and he saw a multitude, an innumerable multitude from every tribe and tongue and kindred. But God chose them, a specific people from every nation.

When in the Old Testament sacrifices, the priest representing Christ, our great high priest, symbolically took the animal that was to be sacrificed and put his hand upon that head, symbolically transferring the sins of that people onto that sacrificial animal to pay the price of the sins of those people. What was it picturing? It was picturing Christ who would come. as the substitute for his people, who would bear the sins of his people in his own body on the cursed tree. And on that cursed tree pour out his lifeblood, for the life is in the blood. The soul that sins, it shall die. And he poured out that life on that cursed tree, so that divine justice might be satisfied for the sins of his people. It pictures salvation. from judgment. It pictures salvation from judgment.

This is the gospel, salvation from just judgment. It pictures salvation from destruction in an arc, an arc of wood that represents the Lord Jesus Christ so clearly, so graphically. He took his people that he was to save from that world which was to be cursed and condemned and swept away. He took his people. He put them in there and it says God closed the door. And so it is with his people now. It is God in sovereign grace who puts his people in Christ, who has put from all eternity his people in Christ. He's closed the door of that ark. He's put them in.

It shows a childless idolater, whose name was Abram, became Abraham, from whose descendants would come the promised Messiah, the promised seed of the woman, to satisfy justice for that multitude of what would be his children, not by physical descent, but his children by faith. For as the New Testament tells us, all who are of the faith of Abraham are the children of Abraham. If you have the same faith of this gospel of God that Abraham had, you are the children of Abraham. We could go on with this, but we won't for the sake of time.

But as John's first epistle, 1 John, chapter 4, in the first four verses, they tell us so clearly that how do you discern what is fake and what is true. It's this. Hereby know we the Spirit of God. In other words, hereby we know whether somebody that's telling you the things of God is telling you the truth. Every spirit, every preacher that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And that is the spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come. and is even now in the world.

Now, you'd say, oh, well, that means just about everybody that stands up in a pulpit in Britain today and says, Jesus Christ existed, there was a man called Jesus Christ who came, he is of God. That's not what it means. It means that the man who came, Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem, raised in Nazareth as the carpenter's son, that he is the fulfillment of everything the Old Testament said about what Messiah would be, who he would be, and what he would do.

is the Savior of a chosen people. He is the Savior of a people who are particularly chosen by God. He is the Savior of a people who are saved according to the sovereign grace of God and are saved in accordance with the everlasting covenant of grace. That's what it means that Jesus, the Messiah, the Jesus that came in the flesh that they preach is not that one because they do not believe it.

In 1 Timothy, Sorry, 2nd Timothy chapter 1 and verse 9, we read about God who has saved us, his people, and called us with an holy calling, not because of what we do, not according to our works, but according to what? According to his own purpose and grace. He's a sovereign God. It was according to his own purpose and grace. When did we get it? Which was given us in Christ Jesus when you walked the aisle and signed the card that said you wanted to be a Christian. That's not what it says. Examine what it says. Which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest. It's open by the appearing of our savior, Jesus Christ. What did he accomplish? For his people he has abolished death, and he has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. What a blessing to be a partaker in that.

If your gospel is the gospel of God, it will be entirely consistent with the scriptures. Secondly, it will exalt the total sovereignty of God. I've already alluded to this quite a lot, but religion's God The God of religion, and a lot of it calls itself Christianity all around, is a God who is frustrated by man's refusal to obey his commands and live at peace. And so they picture God as wringing his hands in frustration. Oh, why don't they get on? Oh, why don't they try to be friends with one another? Oh, why do they have to keep firing missiles and bombs at each other? Oh, why do they have to do all of this? That's not the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible is absolutely sovereign over all things. He's absolutely sovereign. It says in Psalm 115, and the first three verses, not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy and for thy truth's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, where is now their God? The heathen, where's your God? We don't see any signs of him. Our God is in the heavens, and this is it, and hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Our God is sovereign. What he has pleased himself to do, he has done. That's what it is, to be sovereign. It says in another psalm, 135 in verse 6, whatsoever the Lord pleased, that he did in the heaven, in the earth, in the seas, and so it goes on. Nobody is able to question or stop this sovereign God.

So what did it please God to do? Here's some things. Here's five things, I think. It pleased God. It pleased God to choose a people. He didn't have to, but it pleased God to choose a people. In Psalm 33 and verse 12, it says this. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. At that time, of course, it was referring to the physical nation of Israel. But how do we read it now in the light of New Testament revelation? That nation whose God is the Lord is the church. It's his nation, it's his kingdom. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. And the people, listen to this, and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. He chose them. Why did he choose them? Because he's God, and he's sovereign. It's for him to decide. John 15 verse 16, Jesus said to the disciples, and it applies not just to them, but to everybody. He says, you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. You might think you've chosen me, but I have chosen you. That's election. It pleased God to elect a people, to save them for his own glory.

Secondly, it pleased God. Now, turn over to Colossians chapter one, because we were looking at it just a few weeks ago. But in Colossians chapter one and verse 19, it tells us that God was pleased, it pleased the father, that in him, who's him? It's the Lord Jesus Christ, his son, the manifestation of God on the earth. It pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell, all fullness, all the mystery of godliness. Great is the mystery of godliness, says Paul to Timothy, that God was manifest in the flesh. It pleased God to that that in him all fullness should dwell it pleased God who we cannot know in and of ourselves, the unknowable God, the God who it says lives in unapproachable light, that he was pleased to reveal himself in Christ. And that revealing himself in Christ, absolutely nothing was lacking. Because in chapter two and verse nine, in him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead, the fullness of the deity in a human body. Can you believe that? That when John the Apostle, he says he leaned on Jesus' breast, he reclined with him at supper, they talked intimately, closely, and there was the fullness of the Godhead in a body. The fullness of the Godhead bodily. God, as the hymn writers more than one has said, God contracted to a span, incomprehensibly made man. God contracted to a span. And we know that it pleased God that chapter 3 and verse 11, that to his people Christ is all and Christ is in all.

Thirdly, It pleased God. It pleased Him. God was pleased to satisfy His justice in the Lord Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 53, you know these verses well, but verse 8 says this, talking of our Lord Jesus Christ, talking of the Son of God, talking of the Messiah, the Christ, He was taken from prison and from judgment. And who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living. He died. Why did he die? Why did he die? It says there, for the transgression of my people was he stricken. Then verse 10, listen, I'm talking about what pleased God who is sovereign. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. It pleased the Lord to bruise. Why did it please God? to put his darling son through such horrendous suffering. It pleased God to do that because it satisfied his justice. It glorified his name. It saved to the uttermost his people. It qualified his people for heaven, that he might be with them in heaven forever. That's why it pleased the Lord to bruise him. That's why he did it. It pleased the Lord to bruise him. This is God's sovereign grace.

And then, Fourthly, in the case of Paul, in the case of Paul, in verse 15 of chapter 1 of Galatians, it says there, when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen. Did it please Paul to become a preacher? Absolutely not. You know, I've mentioned so many times. What pleased Paul was destroying the church, was trying to stamp out the name of Jesus Christ. He was trying to get rid of that sect that he regarded as so pernicious. And on his way to Damascus, he met the risen Lord that he was persecuting. And it pleased the Lord to reveal his Son, not to him, but in him. He causes... God is the one who is pleased to reveal his Son in all of his people at the appointed time. He will come and He will show you. It is by revelation. God will reveal His Son in your heart, in the hearts of all His elect, in due time.

So that, is that consistent with Scripture? What does the Scripture say? I've made a statement there. We need to examine it. Is that fake or is that fortune? Is that the truth or is it false? Romans 9, 16. How do we get to know about the things of God? It's not of Him that wills, It's not of him that runs, but it's of God who shows mercy. It's of him. It pleased his son. It pleased God to reveal his son in the Apostle Paul and in all of his elect in due time. It says in John 1 and verse 13 about this revelation of the truth of God in the heart, that his people are born, born not of blood, nor of flesh, nor of their own selves, nor of the will of some other man. How are they born? They're born of God. They're born of God. You say, that's not fair. That rules me out. No, no, this is the cry. Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry. Whilst on others thou art calling, do not pass me by.

And then fifthly, fifthly, it pleased God It says in 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse 21, how is he going to make this message of truth known to the people that he loved from eternity? It's by the foolishness of preaching. That's not the gospel, you know. I mean, I don't know if many people remember Billy Graham these days. Those of you that are of a certain age will undoubtedly remember Billy Graham. In the 50s and 1960s, he used to come to Britain and do great big campaigns and massive, thousands and thousands of people. Thousands of people believed they'd heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and would come and sign a decision card and all of those other things. But the gospel of scripture... The gospel of God is not the gospel of Billy Graham and those like him. Because you see, their God is not the sovereign God of Scripture. Their God is an idol of fallen man's imagination. Their God is not sovereign over all things. Their God is subject to what man might let them do or not do.

Thirdly, to be clear, the gospel of God is clear about depravity. Many seemingly biblical, reformed, reverent-towards-God churches and associations, they look so much like, oh, they've got the truth, they've got the truth. But their gospel, in the case of many of them, is that of a man called Andrew Fuller, who lived between 1754 and 1815, and he wrote a book called The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation, and many people went over to it.

But what was wrong with it was this. It gave fallen man an ability to believe. He said that Christ had died for the sins of the whole world, that every sin was paid for by Christ on the cross, but you made it your own when you believed it. Basically, it's Arminianism, basically, and it's not the truth of Scripture. And many, many Once trustworthy publishers and churches and organizations in recent years have accepted Fuller's ideas.

Evangelical Times that we used to be very closely associated with, I used to write things for it. But in recent years, it's completely swallowed hook, line, and sinker, the ideas of Andrew Fuller, the banner of truth, even. Many Reformed Baptist churches have swallowed the doctrine of Andrew Fuller, hook, line, and sinker. It's not the doctrine of Scripture.

Search the Scriptures, to the law and to the testimony. You see, what the Scripture says is not that we've all got an innate ability to believe that which Christ has done for everybody who ever lived. It says this, every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Other terms used in scripture about us as we are in our flesh is altogether become filthy. We're shapen in iniquity. We're estranged, estranged from God, from the womb, from the time we're born, estranged from the womb, speaking lies.

God created man upright, it says, but he sought out inventions. Mankind, all of us, are sinful. We seek out inventions against the true God. Jesus said to the Jews in John 5 verse 40, talking to them, there he is, There he is, the way, the truth and the life, right before them, and he says, but you will not come to me that you might have life, because you're stubborn in your unbelief.

There's none righteous, says Romans 3. None righteous, no, not one, quoting the Old Testament. In Ephesians chapter 2 and verses 1 to 4, what's the condition of us as we are? We're dead. in trespasses and sins. We're totally depraved concerning the knowledge and truth of God. And this is what the true gospel of God says. The scripture says every man, without exception, in his natural state is depraved. That means unable to satisfy God. We're sinners, we're depraved. We're spiritually dead. We're dead. We're impotent to do anything, to change ourselves towards God. And all, all of us without exception are utterly dependent on the grace and mercy of God for life.

Are you, do you consider yourself to be getting progressively more sanctified, holy and more fitted for heaven? Not the true child of God according to the gospel of God. Because as we go on in this flesh nothing gets any better at all. Our best testimony is I'm a poor sinner and nothing at all. As the Apostle said himself at the end of his life in 2 Timothy, he is the chief of sinners. Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief. That was his last testimony concerning himself.

And then fourthly, And this one I should have spent more time on. But this gospel of God is entirely focused on Jesus Christ and him alone. You see, the true gospel is perverted, that word in verse 7 of Galatians 1, the true gospel is perverted when religion adds to the person and work of Christ in making sinners acceptable to God. So, they add the Mosaic Law as a rule of life. They add, you must get progressively more holy to be right with God. They add, and this really is one that causes no end of trouble, denominational practices and traditions that you must abide by or you cannot be amongst the people of God.

they set up their confessions of faith. And in truth, they say, oh, this is derived from the scriptures. But in actual fact, you will find in their circles that they revere their confessions of faith above this book. They reverence men of the past and of the present as being above what this book says. And still more, they give you extra-scriptural revelations. They blaspheme God's Holy Spirit by exalting Him above Christ. For the ministry of the Holy Spirit to God's people is to take of the things of Christ and show them unto them.

When Paul was preaching, he says in 1 Corinthians 2, When I was among you Corinthians, I was determined to know nothing else other than Jesus Christ and him crucified. You compare the gospel that gets preached in so many so-called churches around this country in these days, and you will find that they do not share that determination, for they engage in just about every other thing that they can add to it. No. In Colossians, He has got the preeminence. He has got all of the fullness of God. He's the one who is all and in all. If I am saved from my sin, if I am made the righteousness of God in him, if I am qualified for his eternal kingdom, it is entirely because of God in Christ. I wish I could underline that and say it so much louder. It's entirely because of God in Christ and of absolutely nothing else. He saved me by uniting me with Christ, with himself, with God in Christ before time began. When Christ came and died for sin, I died in him. When he rose for justification, I rose with him. I am eternally secure because of all of these things.

We are in him that is true. in his son Jesus Christ. This is true God and eternal life. That's what John says in his first epistle, chapter 5, verse 20. Is there any wonder that the eternal praise of heaven is in extolling the lamb that was slain?

And I'll be quick, we've nearly finished. The true gospel of God gives to the people who believe it, the people of God, what's called in Hebrews the full assurance of faith. Because of this, any who look outside of Christ alone for assurance of their standing and qualification for heaven will be subject to doubt. Anything I have to do, I'll certainly not do well enough. And that will leave me with nagging doubts that I haven't done what I'm told by religion I have to do. I haven't done it well enough. But Christ has finished all things perfectly and successfully.

I'll just read this for you in Isaiah chapter 42. and the first four verses, where God says, concerning the Messiah who would come, he says, Behold my servant, whom I uphold, mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth. I have put my spirit upon him. He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flack shall he not quench. He shall bring forth judgment unto truth. Listen to this. He shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set judgment in the earth and the isles shall wait for his law.

Jesus Christ on the cross cried out. When he had paid for the sins of his people, he cried out, it is finished. That's the full assurance of faith. That's the basis of it. Is this your gospel? Is your gospel God's gospel? If it is, you're confident of your eternal standing. You have that full assurance of faith and you put that trust in Christ and Him alone and nothing else.

This gospel, not the gospel of Andrew Fuller or anybody like him or many other perverted gospels, this gospel is worthy of all acceptation. Will you come and believe and rest in Christ alone? Amen.
