Old Time Preaching

Q: What does the Bible say about God's grace and mercy?

The Bible extensively discusses God's grace and mercy, emphasizing His long-suffering nature towards sinners. God's grace and mercy are foundational elements in Scripture, illustrating His unmerited favor towards humanity. In Romans 3, Paul outlines that both Jews and Gentiles fall short of glory and are under sin, yet it is through God’s grace that we are justified freely through the redemption found in Christ Jesus. This underscores His patience, as even when faced with continuous disobedience, God remains merciful, inviting sinners to repentance. Furthermore, the story of Israel, especially in 1 Samuel 12, reveals God's steadfast commitment to His people despite their repeated failures, exemplifying His desire to display grace rather than immediate judgment.

Q: How do we know that all men are sinners?

We know all men are sinners because Romans 3:10 states, 'There is none righteous, no, not one.' The doctrine of sin is affirmed in the Bible, particularly in Romans 3, where the Apostle Paul exhaustively declares that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. He establishes that there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile in terms of sinfulness, indicating that every person is inherently sinful due to the fallen nature inherited from Adam. This universal state of sinfulness necessitates God’s salvific intervention, which He provides through Jesus Christ. Moreover, Scriptures highlight that this condition is not merely a behavioral issue but a deep-seated spiritual problem requiring divine grace for reconciliation and redemption.

Q: Why is the concept of election important for Christians?

Election reassures Christians that their salvation is secure and rooted in God's sovereign grace. The doctrine of election is vital for Christians as it reassures believers that their salvation is not contingent upon their actions but is rooted in God’s sovereign grace. As highlighted in 1 Samuel 12:22, God chose Israel not for any merit of their own but for His glorious purpose. This sheds light on the New Testament's teaching that salvation is a divine work where God elects sinners to faith in Christ. Understanding salvation as an act of grace leads to greater humility, gratitude, and security in one's relationship with God. It emphasizes that redemption comes from God alone, which stirs in the believer a desire to worship and serve Him wholeheartedly.

Tonight I want you to turn to
two passages of Scripture with me in the beginning. Our text
will be found in 1 Samuel 12, but I want you to also turn there
and mark it and turn with me to Romans 3. We'll look at the
Romans 3 passage first. I'll give you a moment or two
to get those two Scriptures in front of you. Romans 3. First, Romans 3 verse 9. Let me say before we begin reading
here that after studying through the book of Exodus and Numbers
and Joshua, and especially Judges, I begin to give some serious
thought, a lot of it, to the long-suffering, the mercy, the
grace, the forgiveness, and salvation of the Lord. Well, we should
always give thought to those things, but I want to ask you,
and going through those books with me and as we study together,
are you perplexed at all? as to how God could be so patient
and so long-suffering with a people that seemed absolutely so bound
and determined to disobey. Like I think I mentioned recently,
I wouldn't have that patience, I don't think. Someone just time
and time again And yet at the same time be hopeful
and becoming more confident that God Almighty might be the same
with you. Isn't that just wonderful to
think about? The enlightened eye can help
to see that the only difference, the only difference between the
lost and the saved sinner is the difference that God makes
between them. You know that and so do I. Not
everybody does. One who's saved by God's intervening
grace is no less wicked, no less evil, no less disobedient than
the one that's lost. And the Apostle Paul begins here
in Romans 3 verse 9 talking about the difference between the Jew
and the Gentile. In verse 9, he writes, What then? Are we better than they? And
then he answers that question and says, No, in no wise. For we have before proved, both
Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin. Verse 10, he says, There is none
righteous, No, not one. How many are righteous? None. Not a single one. There's none
that understand it. There's none that seek after
God. Verse 12, they are all gone out
of the way. They are all together become
unprofitable. And there's none that doeth good.
No, not one. Every man and woman born of woman,
born into this world, has a throat that is an open grave exposing
all the dead things within. All of them. Out of the abundance
of the heart, the Lord Jesus said, the mouth speaks. And we
by nature speak the words of death. Open sepulcher. Our tongues have used deceit,
not just occasionally. Poison falls from our lips, verse
13. All of us are full of cursing
and bitterness, verse 14. Our feet are swift to shed blood,
verse 15. Well, preacher, isn't that talking
about the wicked men and women of the world? No, that's talking
about all men and women, naturally speaking. Without Christ, every
single person born is bent on destruction and misery, and it's
all because of our sin. The way of peace we have not
known, verse 17. There's no fear of God before
our eyes, verse 18. And then the summation of all
of it is this, verse 19. Now we know that whatsoever things,
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under
the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world
may become guilty before God. Therefore, by the deeds of the
law, there is no flesh be justified in His sight, for by the law
is the knowledge of sin." If God had never given the law,
we'd never really truly know that the way we carried on is
an offense to God. But now the righteousness of
God without the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and
Prophets. That's what we're reading. We're
reading the Old Testament, the account of the Law and the Prophets. And what is that? Even the righteousness
of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
them that believe. As we've said many times, John
3.16 doesn't prove that God saved the whole world. John 3.16 proves
that He saves all in the world that believe on His Son. That's a big difference. Even the righteousness of God,
verse 22 again, which is by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and
upon all that believe, for there is no... what? No difference. For all have sinned and come
short of the glory of God. So, what then could be the hope
of such a one? How can any of us find any hope
knowing that? He tells us, verse 24, being
justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is
in Christ Jesus, whom God has set forth to be a propitiation. Never forget what that word means.
It means an atonement, an appeasement, a satisfaction. Through faith
in His blood, the shedding of Christ's blood is the only hope
that any of us have of being redeemed. Through faith in His
blood to declare His righteousness, That's what we preach, the righteousness
of Christ. We have none to offer God. His righteousness, to declare
His righteousness for what? The remission of sins that are
passed through the forbearance of God. There's that word, long-suffering,
forbearance, the patience of God. To declare, I say at this
time, His righteousness that He might be just and the justifier
of him. The whole world? No. Those who
believe it in Jesus. I think about what Isaiah wrote
in chapter 53, verse 6 of the book that bears His name. All
we, like sheep, have gone astray. And we've turned, every one,
every single one of us, to His own way. And the Lord hath laid
on Him, Jesus Christ, the iniquity, of us all. And my friends, that
is the difference that God makes. Now again, verse 9 here in Romans
chapter 3, what is the difference between a sinner that's lost,
represented by the Gentile, the Greek, and a sinner who's saved,
represented by the Jew? Naturally speaking, there's no
difference. None. And again, what then? Are we
better than they? Don't ever think that. Know and
know wise, for we have before proved, both Jews and Gentiles,
that they are all, both Jew and Greek, under sin. There is no
difference. Now, 1 Samuel chapter 12. To prove these things that we
just talked about, We have the example of Israel. God's chosen
nation. And over and over and over, time
after time after time, Israel sinned against the Lord. And
they disobeyed God at every turn. And yet God continued to be merciful
and gracious and His grace abounded. Israel didn't continue in sin
that grace may abound. They just continued in sin and
God's grace did abound. And there was only one reason.
Look at verse 22. We'll cover the majority of this
chapter, but I want you to look at verse 22, 1 Samuel 12. This is the reason. For the Lord
will not forsake His people for His great name's sake. And because,
this is why, it hath pleased the Lord to make you, Israel,
the chosen, the elect. It's pleased Him to make you,
true Israel, the chosen, the elect, His people. That's how we know, proof positive,
that men and women, sinners, did nothing to earn merit or
deserve and purchase salvation. They could not and they would
not. That's what the Lord said in the Gospel of John. He said,
you will not come to Me that you might have life. It's not
your will to come. Or you may claim it is. And you
could not come. You're not able to come. Because
you're dead in trespasses and sin. So they, nor we, neither
had the willingness or the ability to come. So the only difference
between Israel and all the other nations that surrounded them,
that lived around them, was the difference that God made. That is If that wouldn't cause you to
love God and to worship Him and be faithful to Him, there's nothing
that would. Until we see that we never had
a need of Christ and His Gospel, we'll never desire to bow to
Christ. And it's no different today.
The only difference between true Israel, God's elect, is the divine
intervention of God in the chosen sinner's life and also in the
passing by of all the others in the world. That's the only
difference. Why didn't God save you? If you could speak to a
man in hell and say, you know, why didn't you believe? He'd say, the Lord passed by
me. He didn't give me the ability or the willingness to believe. And I've heard it said by many
of the preachers that have gone before us, if you're saved, it's
God's doing, and if you're lost, it's your own fault. All have
sinned and come short. All. Who made the difference
between those who are saved? God did. God has given sight
and life to some, and to others He has not. That's the difference. And that makes a lot of folks
mad. People in religion don't like that. And the only reason
they don't is because it takes them out of the equation. They
don't have a say in the matter. They can do nothing to save themselves
when they've convinced themselves or let a man convince them that
they can. And sadly, it takes pretty much
the whole life of a believer, for anyone, even the believer,
to see any real difference in their lives. I began my life in sin and I
hadn't changed much. As long as we're tabernacled
in these bodies of death that we live in, we're going to fall
and fail, and we're going to fail and fall over and over again,
time and time again. Christ has put away all our sin. Past, present, and future. And
He's made with us an everlasting covenant. Ordered in all things
and sure. Don't you like that word? Surety. That's another word. Christ is
my surety. That means He's made it sure
that I'm going to one day dwell with Him face to face. And because
of these things, for us an everlasting love and kindness and we'll never
be consumed, never be sentenced to death. He's the Lord. He changes
not. Therefore, this is why ye sons
of Jacob are not consumed. And for this reason alone, again,
I say that Christ should be everything to a believer. And they should
strive with all their being to be faithful and obedient to Him
no matter how many times they fall. That's what Samuel as a
prophet and a preacher is striving to convey on this day in 1 Samuel
chapter 12. And I titled this message because
here before us we have some old time preaching. That's what I
titled it. Maybe that'll get somebody's
attention that listens further down the road. And here we find
Samuel shining as a true example of what a true preacher should
be. Now in the story before us, Samuel
takes to the pulpit, so to speak, to teach the people. And that's
how we learn. That's how we grow in grace and
in the knowledge of the Lord. through preaching and teaching.
I've heard folks over the years say, speaking of a pastor, say,
so-and-so, he's a good teacher, but he's not much of a preacher.
Now, I'm not sure what the difference is when folks distinguish between
the two. I think what they mean is that
while both preaching and teaching involve sharing biblical knowledge,
preaching focuses more on passionately delivering the Gospel
message and encouraging sinners to believe. And teaching is more
explaining and interpreting the Scripture to provide a deeper
understanding of the meaning and application of God's Word. In other words, preaching is
more about exhortation and inspiration, while teaching is more about
detailed explanation and learning. But my experience has been that
to preach the Word is to teach the Word, and to teach the Word
is to preach the Word. Why? Because none will be saved
apart from either. By the foolishness of preaching,
what the world calls foolishness, the Lord is pleased to save those
who believe. Now, our chapter begins with
Samuel giving his farewell address to Israel as he passes the leadership
role to Saul, the new king. And Samuel's message here emphasizes
the importance of faithfulness to God and also the consequences
of disobeying God. And Samuel's key points in this
message to Israel also include the same key points delivered
in the preaching of a true servant of God today. That's why I called
it old-time preaching. It's the only kind of preaching
that saves. God's faithfulness. These points
include God's faithfulness to His people and the believer's
faith in Christ. And it includes God's displeasure
and the consequences of our disobedience to Him. It includes the integrity
of God and the necessity of our integrity as His children. And
in preaching, we have the warning of this world and the things
of it, and making every believer aware that there are still idols
today. This isn't something that went
out with the Old Testament. There are still worldly lusts
that still exist, and we should be on guard of them. You can
make anything an idol. We've said that many times. We should be aware of the divine
revelation, the true motivation for serving God is in Christ
and His grace alone, and it's always out of a true and desperate
need for both. If God doesn't make us to differ,
friends, we will not differ from this dead and condemned world
in which we live. God must make us alive, now listen,
He must make us alive in order for us to know that we were dead.
Isn't that true? True preaching requires a call
to fear, meaning reverence, respect, faithfulness to God. Love and
obedience is always the role. It's a duty, so to speak, of
a faithful servant. Well, I thought you preached
that there's nothing you can do to be saved, but no. Though
that's true, we have a duty to be faithful. to God, and even
then we're just unprofitable servants. You know, God doesn't
need us to accomplish His will. We need Him. And when it comes
to true preaching or teaching, it must always be done for the
glory of God. That's our motivation, the glory
of God. And I think about this very frequently
anymore, Realizing that I'm now 69 years old, my time for preaching
the gospel is limited. I've got a few years left at
best. But the message I preach, it's unlimited. It'll go on after
I'm gone. Unless the Lord decides to tarry. We as preachers know that what
we preach has been given to us. And what I mean by that is, and
it's been given to us and received by us through the preaching of
the gospel by another. When asked my so-called credentials
for being qualified to preach, and I've been asked a few times
in this way, where did you go to Bible college? Where did you
go to seminary? My answer is always the same. I sat under a faithful and true
preacher, a preacher of the gospel, two
to three times a week for nearly 20 years. That's the credentials,
so to speak, that I got. Other than that, I have no credentials
at all. No better training or seminary
than that. Sitting under a man who faithfully
proclaims the gospel truth. And now I can preach the truth
to others because God sent someone to preach the truth to me. And
I can show sinners the way to Christ because God sent someone
to show me the way. And that's the way God does it.
We better not have any new schemes or plots or plans that'll appeal
to the flesh because it'll only condemn us if we do. But we don't. It's old time preaching. And
Samuel preached the same thing on this day in Israel's history
as I'm endeavoring to preach tonight. I have a story to tell of the
old, old story. We simply proclaim the great
things that God has done for us. Look down at verse 24, 1
Samuel 12. Only fear the Lord and serve
Him in truth with all your heart, for consider how great things
He has done for you. Have you considered the great
things that God has done for you? The psalmist wrote Psalm
126.3, the Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are
glad. Are you glad about the great
things the Lord has done for you? I think about that demoniac
of Gadara, however you say it. After the Lord cast that legion
of devils out of him, he sat next to the Lord Jesus in his
right mind. begged the Lord to let him go
with him. He said, Lord, let me go with you. I want to go
with you wherever you go. But the Lord said to him, return
to thine own house and show how great things God hath done unto
thee. And he went his way and published,
preached throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had
done unto him. I just love that. That's what
a true preacher and servant does. By God's grace, that man went
from being a devil to a preacher. So did I. So did I. We tell people the great things
that God has done. Not the great things they've
done for God. We've got a lot of that going on today. I hear
a lot of so-called preachers today talk about a great deal
of their accomplishments. But you won't find a true preacher
doing it. Verse 1, And Samuel said unto
all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice, and all that
you said unto me, and have made a king over you. And now, behold,
the King walketh before you, and I am old and gray-headed.
And behold, my sons are with you, and I have walked before
you from my childhood unto this day." I started out as a young
12-year-old boy working for Eli in the temple, and the Lord called
me to be a prophet. And now, I'm sure it seemed like
a short period of time to Samuel, the same as it does to us. He
said, now I'm old and I'm gray-headed, and I'm ready to depart. And he said, Behold, here am
I, verse 3, here I am, witness against me before the Lord and
before His anointed whose ox I have taken, or whose ass have
I taken, or whom have I defrauded, whom have I oppressed, or of
whose hand have I received any bribe to blind my eyes therewith,
and I'll restore it to you. And they said, Thou hast not
defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast Thou taken aught
of any man's hand. Samuel was free from any accusations
or any guilt of defrauding God and His people. He'd been faithful
to them as God's prophet. He causes them here to openly
confess His honesty so He can, with true conviction, speak to
them without calling His integrity into question. In verse 5, and
He, Samuel, said unto them, The Lord is witness against you,
and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found
aught, and that word means fault. You haven't found any fault in
My hand. And they answered, He is witness. That's what Paul did. He said,
I kept back nothing profitable to you. I testified to the Jews
and also to the Greeks. I preached repentance toward
God and faith toward Christ. You had no reason not to believe
me. I lived honestly above board before you. Paul wasn't beholding
to men. Paul, like Samuel, had a clear
conscience in preaching. Paul wrote, I take you to record
this day that I'm pure from the blood of all men, for I have
not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. You see,
the true preacher has had necessity laid upon them. And it's woe
unto them if they preach not the gospel. A true gospel preacher
is going to be honest with men and women about their sin and
even about their own. Paul said, I'm a wretched man,
O wretched man that I am. He said, I am less than the least,
undeserving to be called an apostle. And that confession of what we
are will every time, if the Lord makes it effectual to your heart,
will lead to the gospel, the good news. And what is that? that God always delivers His
people. Always. Should He have delivered
Israel? Well, I'll just say I wouldn't
have after the 150th time. I'd say, y'all just go on to hell then. That's horrible, but not the
Lord. Not the Lord. The Gospel message always reveals
that the trials and the sorrow of God's people have always been
necessary for their eventual return to Him. It's here that
Samuel gives some history as to the way things have always
been. You know, when we look at our rebellion and our disobedience
toward God, even now, we only need to look back in history,
which is, you know, His story. to see God's faithfulness in
our rebellion. Now, verse 6, look at it. And
Samuel said unto the people, It is the Lord that advanced
Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land
of Egypt. Now therefore stand still, listen
to me, that I may reason." That's what preaching is. It's reasoning
with you before the Lord of all the righteous acts of the Lord
which He did to you and to your fathers, telling them over and
over again what God has done for you, the great things that
God has done for you. He said in verse 8, When Jacob
was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the Lord,
then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your
fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. And
when they forget the Lord, their God, He sold them into the hand
of Sisera, and captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand
of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab.
And they fought against them. And they cried unto the Lord
and said, we have sinned because we've forsaken the Lord, and
have served Balaam and Ashtoreth, But now deliver us out of the
hand of our enemies, and we'll serve Thee. That's what the whole
book of Judges is about. And what did the Lord always
do? He sent judges to deliver them. And the judge would deliver
them, then the judge would eventually die, and Israel would begin to
serve idols again. Every time. Verse 11, and the
Lord sent Jerubbabel and Badan and Jephthah and Samuel and delivered
you out of the hand of your enemies on every side and you dwelled
safe. And then the process would start
all over again. And it's still going on here.
As we saw in the last chapter, chapter 11, they were still doing
it. He says in verse 12, and when
you saw that Nahash, the king of of the children of Ammon came
against you, you said unto me, Nay, but a king shall reign over
us, when the Lord your God was your king. Now therefore behold
the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have desired, and
behold, the Lord hath set a king over you. And if ye will fear
the Lord, and serve him, and obey His voice and not rebel
against the commandment of the Lord, then shall both ye and
also the King that reigneth over you continue following the Lord
your God." In other words, don't get sidetracked. Keep on keeping
on. That's what we used to say when
I was younger and thought we were cool. Keep on keeping on.
Well, we better. As believers, we better. And
verse 15, the consequence, but if you will not obey the voice
of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord,
then shall the hand of the Lord be against you as it was against
your father. Now, brothers and sisters, that's
what we still preach today. There's a consequence for disobedience
and there's a blessing in obedience to God. So true preaching is
repetitive and telling sinners of the great grace of God. If not for God's grace, we would
all perish, and deservingly so. Has God shown you that? Israel
rejected God for another king. And that's what an ungrateful
heart does. It will not have the king of kings to rule over
them. Oh, we want a king like everybody else got. Be careful what you ask for.
God just may give it to you. We say it all the time, a true
believer will every time take sides with God against themselves. Look at verse 16. Now therefore
stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before
your eyes. Is it not wheat harvest today? And I will call unto the Lord
and He shall send thunder and rain that you may perceive and
see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight
of the Lord, and asking you a king." Was that such a horrible thing?
Yes. Because God had vowed to take care of them. And they said,
no, we want an earthly king. They wanted an earthly king when
they had a heavenly one. The king of kings. And people
today want the same. So Samuel called unto the Lord,
and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people
greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. And all the people said unto
Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we
die not. For we have added unto all our
sins this evil, to ask us a king. We'll give him what we deserve. We're taking sides with God against
ourselves. That's what it is. They were
wrong in rejecting God. They were wrong in wanting an
earthly king. And as I said, they chose an
earthly king over the heavenly one. And now what do they say? We've added to all our sins this
evil to ask for a king. Now, look at verse 20. And Samuel
said unto the people, Fear not. You've done all this
wickedness. Yet turn not aside from following
the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. It's not
too late. Not too late. They were guilty
of an horrific sin. They preferred this earthly king
over Christ. And as I said, it's still going
on today all over this earth. Don't turn aside from following
the Lord, but serve Him with all your heart. That's our message
to sinners. If their service to God was kept
up, if it was sincere and true, they might expect things to go
well for them. There's still mercy with the
Lord. There's still mercy with the Lord. Did they deserve it? No, it wouldn't be mercy if they
did. Verse 21, and turn ye not aside,
for then should ye go after vain things like your fathers have,
which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are vain. Vain things here means wasteful,
means worthless, means empty, means formless, means wilderness,
means desolate things. Vain things. And again, the Gospel,
the covenant of grace, the promises of God, God is still willing
to give. Verse 22, for the Lord will not
forsake His people. Why? For His great name's sake. Why? This is why. It pleased
the Lord to make you His people. For no reason outside of Himself,
for no reason in you, For no other reason than He wanted to.
For no other reason than grace within. It pleased God to save
you who believe. Did you deserve it? No. Did you
earn it? Absolutely not. Did you purchase
it? It can't be purchased. It simply pleased the Lord to
make you His. Oh, we have such difficulty with
that because we know what we deserve. And what a divine revelation
it is to know that to look to any other than the true King
is vanity, worthless, and empty, and it will profit you not in
the least. It will hinder you. It will hold
you back. But it will not change the Lord towards you. I don't
know about you, but that's good news. So we will endeavor to keep on
keeping on, right? We'll continue to emulate Christ.
And if I pray for you and you pray for me, maybe the Lord will
be pleased to answer our prayers. Is that a deal? I'll sign that
deal. And in the light of these things,
I want to close by reading Deuteronomy. chapter 7, turn there with me.
Deuteronomy chapter 7, we'll end it, but what a passage to
end it on. Deuteronomy 7, beginning in verse 7. For we know that the Lord did
not set His love upon you, nor choose you because you were more
in number than any people. And we could say right there
too that you were more important and more deserving. For you were
the fewest of all people. You had the least integrity.
You were the least obedient. But because the Lord loved you. And because He would keep the
oath which He had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought
you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house
of bondmen from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt." Why? Because
you were a good boy? Because you was a good girl?
No. You were the worst. Worst of the worst. Verse nine,
know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful
God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him
and keep his commandments to a thousand generations and repayeth
them that hate him to their face to destroy them. He will not
be slack to him that hated him. He will repay him to his face.
And thou shalt therefore keep the commandments and the statutes
and the judgments which I command thee this day to do them. Wherefore it shall come to pass,
if you hearken to these judgments and keep and do them, that the
Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy
which He sware unto thy fathers. And He'll love thee, and bless
thee, and multiply thee. I encourage you to go on and
read the rest of that chapter. All these things and all the
things that follow right on through the end of this chapter is due
solely to the fact that the Lord made you to differ. No other
reason. Aren't you thankful? We sure
ought to be. Amen.
