You don't have to open your Bibles
yet, but let me just read two verses of Scripture. One is in
Psalm 82 that says, God standeth in the congregation of the mighty. He judgeth among the gods. And
then the first verse of Psalm 83 says, keep thou not silent,
O God, hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. Lord, speak
to us. You've promised to inhabit the
praise of your people. You've promised that where two
or three are gathered in thy name, there you are in the midst
of them. Lord, we need you to speak. We
need you to reveal Christ to us. Give us faith. That's our hope this morning.
Let's let's stand together. Brother Tom's going to come and
lead us in the hymn on the back of your bulletin. Praise everlasting, praise be
paid to him that earth's foundation laid. Praise to the goodness
of the Lord, who rules his people by his word. Praise to the goodness of the
Lord, who rules his people by his word. And there, as strong
as his decrees, he sets his kindest promises. True are the words his preachers
give, sweet words on which his children live. Each of them is the voice of
God, who spoke and spread the skies abroad. O for a strong, a lasting faith,
Believing all my Lord hath said, To love the gospel of his Son,
And call the joys of heaven our own. Praise God from whom all
blessings flow. Praise Him, all creatures here
below. Praise Him above, ye heavenly
hosts. Praise Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost. Please be seated. I walked the aisle for the first
time in my life, and it sure had a different meaning, didn't
it? Turn with me please to Psalm
chapter 5. Psalm 5. If you noticed on your bulletin
when you sang there, at the top it says, Call to Worship. And
that was a term that the nation of Israel used. They would sound
the horn, usually an animal horn or trumpet, and it was to notify
the people it was time to prepare their hearts to hear from the
Lord. And that's what we try to do
here this morning. Read from His Word, asking the
Lord to prepare our hearts to hear a word from Him through
our brother. That's what we pray He'll do
this morning. Psalm 5. Give ear to my words,
O Lord, consider my meditation. Harken unto the voice of my cry,
my King and my God, for unto Thee will I pray. My voice shall
not hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning will I direct
my prayer unto Thee and will look up. For thou art not a God
that hath pleasure in wickedness, neither shall evil dwell with
thee. The foolish shall not stand in
thy sight. Thou hatest all the workers of
iniquity. That's so much for God loving
everybody. Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing. The
Lord shall abhor the bloody and deceitful man. And here's the
contrast now. But as for me, I will come into
the house in the multitude of thy mercy, and in thy fear will
I worship towards my holy temple. Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness,
because of mine enemies. Make thy way straight before
my face. There is no faithfulness in their
mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher.
They flatter with their tongue. That's described the religious
people. Destroy thou them, O God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out in the multitude
of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee. False religion works religion
is a rebellion against God It's not just a difference of opinion.
It is outright rebellion and You see what he's praying for
the happen to these people for their rebellion But here's us
this morning But let all those that put their trust in thee
rejoice Let them ever shout for joy Oh, and this is our comfort,
because thou defendest them. Let them also that love thy name
be joyful in thee, in Christ. For thou, Lord, will bless the
righteous. With favor wilt thou compass
him with a shield. That's our hope this morning.
Christ will bless us and he will keep us and shield us. from ourselves,
ourselves. Let us try to pray unto the Lord. Lord, we've come here this morning pleading with you, Lord, that
you would speak to us. We need to hear a word of comfort
from you. And Lord, we are totally dependent
on you for all things. And I pray this morning that
you would send your spirit to us to cause us to look and to
rest and to believe on and in the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray for our brother and your
other gospel preachers and their families. Lord, that you would
speak through them this very morning. Give them boldness. Speak clearly and concisely.
that you would comfort and encourage them, and that you would put
in our hearts a love for them. We pray for those who are strangers
to your grace. Their condition is a hopeless
one, Lord, that you might be pleased today to show them their
lost condition and their need for Christ. And we pray that
all glory from our hearts and our lips will go to you. We ask
that Christ would take this prayer, Lord, and make it acceptable
to God the Father. Amen. Let's all stand together once
again. We'll sing hymn number two. Hymn number two from your
Spiral Gospel Hymns hymnal. Let's all stand. you Lord, we come before Thee now. At Thy feet we humbly bow. O do not our suit disdain. Shall we seek Thee, Lord, Lord, on Thee our souls depend,
In compassion now descend. Fill our hearts with Thy rich
grace, Tune our lips to sing Thy praise. In thine own appointed way, now
we seek thee, here we stay. Lord, we know not how to go till
a blessing thou bestow. Send the message from thy word
that may joy and peace afford. Let thy spirit now impart Christ's
salvation to each heart. Please be seated. Will you open your Bibles with
me to Isaiah chapter 51? I was thinking this week, last
weekend in Crossville, eight different preachers over the
course of that weekend, and without exception, Every single one of
them got in the pulpit and said, would you open your Bibles? I thought, you know, that's really
the only introduction that a child of God needs. To open their Bibles. And the the thrill. Of hearing what God says. To know
what God says. To believe what God says. That's
that's why we're here. And our hope is that he'll be
pleased to attend his word with his spirit and reveal to us his
dear son. I've titled this message God's
Righteousness. The first hour was your sanctification. And this message is God's righteousness. God's righteousness. Romans chapter
10 Paul says that the Jews had a zeal for God They had a zeal
for God. They were very zealous. They
were very religious But it was not according to knowledge For
being ignorant of God's righteousness they went about to establish
their own righteousness and not knowing that Christ is the end
of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. Now,
what is righteousness? Well, in short, it's a right
standing with God. How am I going to stand right
in the presence of God? How's a holy God going to find
me acceptable in his presence? Well, the Lord tells us in Ephesians
chapter one, that we are accepted in the beloved, in the beloved. Paul said, I've not yet apprehended
that which has apprehended me, but this one thing I do, forgetting
those things which are behind, I press towards the mark for
the prize of the high calling. Oh, to know Him, the power of
His resurrection, the fellowship of His suffering, and to be found
in Him. Not having my own righteousness,
which is of the law, but that righteousness, which is by the
faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. We're going to have to be found
in him. He's going to have to present
himself on our... Job, in the book of Job chapter
25, how can a man be justified with God? How can a man be justified
with God? How can he be clean that's born
of a woman? He goes on to say, the stars
are not pure in his sight. The stars are not pure in the
sight of God. Now how can I, who have raised
my fist in rebellion and disobedience against God, be pure in his sight? How much less a man that is a
worm. Now that's what God calls us. God says we're worms. How's a
worm gonna stand in the presence of a holy God? Well, the Lord tells us how that can be, how that will
be, the only way that it will be. And he begins in verse four,
hearken unto me, my people. Hearken. Give your full undivided attention
to what I'm telling you. There's a whole lot of voices
in this world giving a lot of advice, isn't there? And everybody's
got an opinion. I want to know what God says,
don't you? I want to know what God says
about how it is that a worm can be right with God. How it is
that a sinner can stand in the presence of a holy God. How can
I have a righteousness that will be acceptable and pleasing to
a holy God? The only way I'm going to know
that is to hearken unto Him. Without faith it is impossible
to please God, for he that cometh to him must believe that he is,
and that he is the rewarder of them who diligently seek him.
And faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the word of
God." Oh, Lord, speak. Speak. And he speaks to his people.
In John chapter 10, the Lord said, you do not hear my voice
because you are not my people. My sheep, they hear my voice
and I know them and they follow me. The people of God hear the
voice of God and those who are not of God refuse to hear his
voice. Why? Because as Paul said in
Romans chapter 10, they are going about to establish their own
righteousness. The gospel of God's free grace
in the glorious person and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ
strips a man naked before God. It exposes his righteousness
for what it is. Your righteousness, God says,
is as filthy rags. All we like sheep have gone astray,
each unto his own way. There is a way that seems right
unto man, but in the end, in the end, that way leads to death. I thought of an illustration
for that. A person works all their life. labors every day,
and mails in their money to the bank. Small and large, making deposits
faithfully into the bank, weekend and week out, month after month,
and then it's time to retire, and he goes down to the bank
to make a withdrawal. He proudly walks into the lobby
of the bank and goes up to the teller and identifies himself. And the teller says, sir, could
you wait just a minute? She picks up the phone and she
calls the bank president upstairs and he comes down and he looks
at the identification and looks at the man, confirms that he
is that person. And then the president of the
bank looks to the security guard and says, lock the doors, cuff
him, call the FBI. This is the man that's been sending
counterfeit money to the bank. If you're making deposits of
your own righteousness, thinking that one day You're going to
make a withdrawal on those deposits. You're going to find yourself
to be like that man. Our deposits are counterfeit. Our righteousness
is filthy rags. And it's consistent with every
religion of the world, isn't it? The only difference between
one religion and another is what their righteousness is. what
they ascribe to be necessary for you to do or not do in order
to earn favor with God. That's the only difference. The
gospel of God's free grace in the finished work of the Lord
Jesus Christ is the only message of salvation that doesn't allow
you to do anything. It's the only message of salvation
that gives to the Lord Jesus Christ all the glory for having
done all the work all by himself, all by himself. And the Lord
says, oh, my people, my people, there was a time when you were
not my people, but now you are my people. Listen, said, and Peter put it like this
in 1 Peter chapter 2, he said, you are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, a purchased
people. Purchased by the shed blood of
the Lord Jesus Christ to believe God. And God says, hearken unto
me, O my people. my people. Notice what else he
says in verse 4, hearken unto me my people and give ear unto
me oh my nation, my nation. Now the Lord chose Israel as
his nation. And he makes it clear to them
in Deuteronomy, he said, I did not choose you because you were
the greatest in number of all the nations. Oh no, I chose you
because you were the fewest. I chose you because you were
the weakest. I chose you because you were
the most unworthy of all the people in the world. That's why
I chose you. And the Lord makes that clear
in 1 Corinthians 1 when he says, turn with me there. Turn with
me to 1 Corinthians 1. Verse 27, God hath chosen the
foolish things of the world to confound the wise. God hath chosen
the weak things of the world to confound the things that are
mighty, and the base things of the world, and the things which
are despised hath God chosen, yea, the things which are not
to bring to naught the things that are, that no flesh should
glory in his presence. But of Him are you in Christ
Jesus. Now that first Him is a reference
to God the Father. Of God the Father who chose you
in the covenant of grace and put you in Christ before the
world ever began. Now what could you have to do with
something that God did before Adam was created? But of him
are you in Christ Jesus, who is made unto us all our wisdom,
all our righteousness, and all of our sanctification, and all
of our redemption, that according as it is written, let him that
glorieth glory in the Lord. He gets all the glory, doesn't
he? What a glorious Savior. He did
all the work. The men won't have it. They keep
making their deposits. They keep sending in their counterfeit
money. And what's going to happen one
day when they go to make a withdrawal? Is it going to be cuffed? And
they're not going to call the FBI or the Secret Service. No,
the Lord's going to say, cast them into utter darkness where
there's weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. I never knew
you, you workers of iniquity. But Lord, but Lord, we cast out
demons in your name. We did many wonderful works in
your name. Now, I don't doubt it. I don't
doubt that you did. But the fact that you did them
makes them sinful. The only work God's pleased with
is the work that the Lord Jesus Christ did. He is the end of
the law for righteousness. He's the only one who's able
to satisfy the demands of God's law. He's the only one able to
put away our sins. This is my beloved Son. I'm pleased
with Him. God saw the travail of His soul,
and God was satisfied. God's not pleased with you and
me. What's he call us? Worms? Filthy rags? All your righteousness, there's
nothing to it. It's counterfeit. It's not going to work. The Lord says, hearken unto me,
O ye my people, those of my nation, Israel, Those who are weak. Those who are despised. Those who are of naught. They don't have anything. They
can't do anything. They don't know anything. They're
completely dependent upon me for everything. Those are my
people. We talk about being chosen and
being predestinated. And people who are outside of
Christ say, well, you're so proud. You're so self-righteous. Oh,
no. Oh, no. No, God had to reach
down to the bottom of the barrel to get me. There's nothing proud
about being chosen. God chooses us according to His
willing purpose. He didn't see anything in us.
that was worthy to be said. No, he picked, we just read it.
First Corinthians chapter one, that no flesh should glory in
his presence. We are the true circumcision,
which worship, which, which, which worship Christ Jesus and
have no rejoicing Christ Jesus and have no confidence, no confidence
in the flesh. Our confidence is not in their
flesh. Who maketh thee to differ? What do you have that you've
not received? Hearken unto me, O my people,
and O my nation. Go back with me. Now, the Lord
said this, all other nations, Now he's not talking about the
United States and China and Russia. He's talking about Israel as
a nation is a people that belong to God. And all other nations
are a gathering of people who are trying to earn favor with
God by their own righteousness, and God says they are a drop
in the bucket to me. They are a speck of dust on the
scale. They're of no consequence to
me. I've got a people. I've got a nation. They're my
chosen ones. I've redeemed them. I paid their
debt. I satisfied the law. And they
hear my voice. Hearken unto me, O my people. ye that are my nation. Look at
verse four back in our text in Isaiah 51. For a law shall proceed
from me. Notice the verb tense. It's future
tense. A law shall proceed from me. Isaiah is prophesying in the
7th century BC. The law was given to Moses on
Mount Sinai in the 1600th century BC. So a thousand years almost has
passed from the time God gave those ten commandments, those
thou shalt nots, to this prophecy where he's now saying a law shall
proceed from me. What is he talking about? He's talking about the one who's
going to make the law honorable. He's talking about the one who
will become the end of the law for righteousness to everyone
that believeth. When God says that it's the end,
it's the end. You don't add anything on to
the end. You come to the end. God says Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness. And here he says a law is going
to proceed from me. Now you know the word law is
the word Torah. And translated it means instruction. It means direction. It means
teaching. The whole canon of scripture
is called the Torah, the word of God, the law of God, the Ten
Commandments, the moral law. And most folks would pick up
this book and they would think that this is God's rule book
for living the Christian life. And all we have to do is learn
some of the do's and don'ts of God's Word and we can secure
our salvation. We can earn favor with God. We
can establish a right relationship with God and God will be pleased
with us and will be accepted into His presence. That's how
most folks go to the Bible. In the volume of the book, it
is written of me. This book's not a rule book for
Christian living. This book is a revelation of
the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our rule of life. A law shall proceed from me. A new direction, a new teaching,
a new teacher. One who is going to cause you
to have a righteousness before God, and you're going to follow
after him. The Lord said to the Pharisees,
these are the self-righteous religious who were going about
to establish their own righteousness, the same ones Paul talked about
in Romans chapter 10, ignorant of the righteousness of God.
The Lord said to them, you search the scriptures. And they did. They were faithful students of
the Bible. Because you think in them you
have eternal life. But you missed it all together.
For these are they which testify of me. And beginning with Moses and
the Psalms and the prophets, he expounded unto them those
things concerning himself. Himself. Those disciples on the
road to Emmaus, in the breaking of bread, he opened their eyes. And what did they say? Oh, did
not our hearts burn within us as he spake with us along the
way? Christ was revealing himself and they didn't know it until
he opened their eyes. And then they saw. The Lord says,
hearken unto me. You want a righteousness with
God? You want a right standing with God? Don't listen to the
opinions of men. Don't go to the Bible thinking
that you're going to somehow satisfy my requirements and my
demands. Look for Christ. A law shall
proceed out of me. He's going to he's going to be
your life look what he look what he says and I Will make my judgment
to rest For a light of the people Now we're born spiritually dead
and blind and we can't see and the Lord's got to turn the lights
on and he does that through the miracle of the new birth and
And he does that through the preaching of the gospel. When
the gospel is preached, the Lord said, and I, if I be lifted up,
I'll draw men to me. As Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up. Look
to Him and live. And the Spirit of God gives power
to make a dead sinner willing when he opens their eyes and
takes out the heart of stone and puts in a heart of flesh
and gives them that miraculous new birth. And he says, I'm going
to make you to rest. Rest from your labors. Cease
from your attempts to earn favor with me. Quit sending counterfeit
money into the bank. The account, your account's already
full. The bank can't take anymore.
It's full. And it's just there waiting to
that ordained day of God when you take your last breath. And then the fullness of it is
going to be experienced in life eternal. I will make my judgment You see,
God judges sin to be sin. And God judges His law to be
holy. Now, that's God's judgments.
Now, man wants to kind of make sin not be so bad. You know,
isn't that the case? I've had people say to me, well,
preacher, you just don't know what I've done. No, I don't. I don't want to
know. But I can tell you this, it's a whole lot worse than you
think it is. I mean a whole lot worse. God
looks at our sin and he makes judgments about it. the best thing you've ever done.
I can't remember, I've been preaching
around different places, I can't remember what I said to y'all
and what I said somewhere else, but had someone tell me, well,
I don't know if God will forgive me for this. And I said to them,
I said, well, I want you to think about the best thing you've ever
done in your life. And he said, well, what would
that be? I said, I don't know, just pick something. Just pick
something, best thing you've ever done. He said, okay. I said, you need to be forgiven
of that. And that's what the natural man can't see. He can't
see that his righteousnesses are his filthy rags before God.
God makes judgments. He says, in the day in which
you sin, you shall surely die. And he calls us sinners. He calls us worms. And then he, God looks at his
law, and man looks at the law of God like the rich young ruler. You remember the rich young ruler?
What must I do to inherit eternal life? And the Lord said, keep
the law. And he went down through the
law. And what did the rich young ruler said? These things I've
done from my youth. I've never killed anybody. I've
never stolen anything. I've kept the law of God from
my youth up. I'm a moral man. Just like that
Pharisee in the temple. God, I thank Thee that I'm not
like other men. Paul said, that which I thought
was gain to me, I now count but loss. You see, It's not the shameful
things that keep men from Christ. Sin properly understood will
drive you to Christ. I'll tell you what will keep
you away from Him. It's your righteousness. It's your righteousness. That's
what will keep you away from Him. If you believe that you've
got an ounce of righteousness, An ounce of holiness if you believe
you've got anything that's going to earn you any favor whatsoever
with god That's going to be the thing that'll keep you from christ
God makes you a sinner. You're running to the savior.
You're just gonna run to him I will make my judgment to rest
for a light of the people. Oh the light's on now. I see
I see Well, the rich young ruler, I mean,
the man that the Lord healed and the Pharisees brought him
in, interrogated him, who is that that healed you? And what
did he finally say? Michael, you made reference to
this last Sunday. I don't know, I don't know. All I know is that
once I was blind and now I see, my eyes have been opened. I realize
now that I'm nothing but sin. Realize now that my only hope
for righteousness is in Christ. I realize now that God's made
judgments about his law Man makes judgments about the law of God
and he thinks he's kept him And here's what God says You
and I have never ever kept one of God's laws not for one second
Not acceptable to him Our outward behavior might be
such that you know we've never actually taken someone's life Let me ask you this have you
had ought with your brother without a cause In other words you just in a
bad mood and you flew off the handle or you spoke ill and you
and you just you it nobody did anything to to offend you you
just you were just The Lord said, you do that, you're murdered.
You're murdered. Christ is the only one that kept
the law. Look what he says in verse five. My righteousness
is near. My righteousness is near, my
salvation is gone forth, mine arm shall judge the people, the
isle shall wait upon me, and on my arm shall they trust."
The Lord Jesus Christ, he's the right, he's the strong right
arm of God. He said, my righteousness is
near unto me. He's seated right here. The Lord
told Moses, Moses, there is a place near unto me. It was a cleft
in a rock and that was the only place Moses could get to survive
the very presence of the law in the power of God on Mount
Sinai, isn't it? He had to be put in the cleft
of a rock, a place near unto God. My righteousness is near. Now that passage in Romans chapter
10, let's turn there. Let's turn to Romans chapter
10. Verse 4, Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. For
Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, that the
man which doeth these things shall live by them. You going to be saved by the
law? You're gonna have to keep all the law, all the time, with
all your heart. How are you doing with that? Only one man ever did that. And
he did. He kept all the law with all
of his heart, all of the time. But the righteousness which is
of faith, What is faith? It's the substance of things
hoped for. It's the evidence of things not
seen. It's looking unto Jesus who is the author and the finisher
of your faith. It's trusting Christ for all
your righteousness. But the righteousness which is
of faith speaketh on this wise, say not in thine heart. Perish
the thought. Don't even entertain the idea.
What idea? Who shall ascend into heaven,
that is, to bring Christ down from above? What can I do to make what Jesus
did work for me? Perish the thought. Don't even
entertain it. Don't even let that thought come
into your mind. To think that you're going to
do something to bring the right arm of God, the one who's seated
at the right hand of the majesty on high, the one who intercedes
for you, the one who is your only righteousness, that you're
going to force His hand and bring Him down to you? That's not faith. That's works. Verse 8. Verse 7, or who shall
descend that into the deep? That is to bring Christ up from
the dead. What am I going to do to make the death, burial,
and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ work for me? Don't
think it. That's not faith. That's not
faith. That's making God dependent upon
you to do something to make what Christ did work. And that's man-made
religion. That's man-made religion. Well,
you know, you've got to pray this prayer. You've got to make
a decision. You've got to accept Jesus. You've
got to live like, you've got to wear your hair like this.
You've got to wear these kind of clothes. You can't do this. You can't
do that. Touch not, taste not, handle not. All a bunch of works. All a bunch of works. And then
we're gonna set up, and then those who show more outward performance
are going to be elevated in the church, and they'll become more
holy than everybody else, and then they'll be the one to hold
us accountable to make sure that we can get up to where they are. Is that not man-made religion? Don't even think it. Don't even
think, what can I do to make Christ come down to me? What
can I do to make his death work for me? It's not faith. That's works. Christ did it all
by himself. And he finished the work. He
finished it. Look, look at the next verse. But what sayeth this? The word
is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thine heart, that is the
word of faith which we preach. You know what the word of faith is?
It's when you hear the voice of God, you hear what God says.
You know what the word of faith is? Amen. Yay, Lord. I believe. That's it. There's nothing more. that if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture
says, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. To believe on Christ is to trust
Him for all your righteousness. It's to trust Him for all your
justification. It's to trust Him for all of
your salvation. For all of your sanctification.
For all of your glorification. It's to trust Christ. For there's no difference between
the Jew and the Greek. Now let me just change those
two words. There's no difference between the moral and the immoral. There's no difference between
the religious and the irreligious. They're all the same. Men make differences. Men set
up one person above another. God says they're all the same.
The same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved. Cast your soul upon Him. There's no righteousness outside
of Christ. Isaiah makes that clear. God
makes that clear through Isaiah, do you not? Verse six in our text in our
close lift up your eyes to heavens. Look upon the earth beneath.
For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke and the earth
shall wax old like a garment and they that dwell therein shall
die in like manner. Here's what God says. Life is
a vapor. It's a vapor. It's here for a
little while. All flesh is grass. It's like
the flower of the field. It blooms. It's beautiful for
just a little while. Then the heat of the sun comes
and the Spirit of the Lord blows upon it. Therein shall they die
in like manner, but my salvation, my salvation, my salvation shall
be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. My salvation, my righteousness. Hearken ye, my people. Listen
to me. Our Heavenly Father, we ask that You would have mercy
upon our souls. We pray that You would give us
ears to hear, eyes to see, hearts to believe what You have so clearly
declared in Thy Word. We ask it in Christ's name and
for His sake. Amen. Number 44, let's stand together. And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Savior's blood? Died he for me, who caused his
pain? For me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love, how can it be That
Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love, how can it
be That thou, my God, shouldst die
for me. He left his father's throne above,
