We live in a day and time when
God is declared by many to be nothing more than someone who
desires to save sinners, save them from their sin, but needs
the cooperation, the partnership, so to speak, of man, the sinner,
to save them. Nothing could be further from
the truth. One who thinks such has yet to see the God of glory,
the God of the Bible, the sovereign God of Scripture. We should never
use the name God and the word need in the same sentence except
to say that we need God. Never that God needs us. You
know, I don't know where the self-righteous thought came from. It certainly didn't come from
God. It didn't come from His Word, the Bible, that God needs
help in any way, especially for man. The Scripture is so clear
from beginning to end. In the beginning, God created
the heaven and the earth. God was content to be God. God
the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit didn't need anything. For no reason outside of himself
that he simply purposed to create this world and to create man
in it, he did so. All through the scriptures we're
reminded of such. And I think of Paul standing
there in the midst of Mars Hill and he saw that inscription written
to the unknown God. They had an inscription, a statue,
a plaque, or whatever, for every God that they could think of. And just in case they missed
one, and they did, they inscribed a memorial to the unknown God, whom the scripture says they
ignorantly worshiped. We have that going on a lot today.
People are ignorantly worshiping, they know not what. That's what
the Lord told the Samaritan woman, you worship, you know not what.
And do you remember what Paul said? You remember what his declaration
was? Well, let me show you that. Turn
to Acts chapter 17 with me. This is what Paul declared concerning
that unknown God, and it's the same message that I declare to
you today, and for that matter, every time that we meet. It's
the same message by every true gospel preacher. We just bring
it from different passages in the Scripture, but it's the same
message. Look at verse 24, Acts chapter 17. Paul said, God that made the
world and all things, therein seeing that he is Lord of heaven
and earth, he dwelleth not in temples made with hands. Neither
is he worshiped with men's hands as though he, God, needed anything. Seeing he, God, give it to all
life and breath and all things. And he, God, hath made of one
blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the
earth. And he hath determined the times
before appointed and the bounds of their habitation. Who did?
God did. Why did God do this? Verse 27,
that they, every man and woman, born of woman, should seek the
Lord. If haply they might feel after
Him and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us.
For in Him," that's speaking of Christ, God the Son, we, those
who believe and trust in Christ, live and we move and we have
our being, as certain also of your own poets have said, for
we also are His offspring. For as much then as we, again,
those who believe and trust in Christ, are the offspring of
God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is likened to gold
or silver or stone, graven by art and man's device. And that's
to some all that God has become. Verse 30, in the times of this
ignorance, God winked at. but now commandeth all men, even
those who don't believe and trust in Him, everywhere to repent,
because He, God, hath appointed a day in the which He will judge
the world in righteousness by that man, speaking of Christ,
whom He, God the Father, hath ordained, whereof He, God, hath
given assurance unto all men in that He, God the Father hath
raised him from the dead. Now I emphasize all those he's
there mentioned and who they're speaking of. They're speaking
of God. And I did so to show you plainly and simply from God's
word, who does the saving of sinners? God does. It's always been that way. There's
no salvation, no assurance of salvation given to anyone apart
from the assurance that's found in the Lord Jesus Christ. Truly
salvation is the scripture declares is of the Lord. We could give every, title to
every gospel message that's ever been preached, that title, salvation
is of the Lord. That's the good news. That's
the gospel, which that's what the gospel is. It's good news
for sinners. Salvation is of the Lord. Any
message that even implies that salvation can be attained any
other way is not the gospel, it's not the truth. Jesus Christ
and Him crucified. You see, it's not of Him that
will it. Men talk about their free will. It's not of Him that will it.
It's not of Him that run it. Well, I made a decision. I came
up front. I gave my heart to Jesus. It's
not of Him that run it. Then what is it? But of God that
showeth mercy. Who did God give power to become
His children? Even them that believe on His
name. which were born not of blood, which were born not of
the will of the flesh, which were born not of the will of
man, then how then were they born? But of God. Over and over again it declares
it in the scriptures. Neither is there salvation in
any other. For there is none other name
under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, Acts
4.12. Thou shall call his name Jesus,
for he shall save his people from their sin. Salvation is
of the Lord. That's what we're talking about.
That's what this book is about. God saving sinners. It's about
salvation. Salvation is. of the Lord. That word is, is called a definite
article. It's, in other words, is, is
definite. When we say is something, we
mean that it definitely is. The word is, is a determiner. The dictionary defines it as
that. God is holy. Definitely so. God determines
who and what is holy. God is true. That's what the
scriptures say. Definitely so. God is definitely
so true. God determines what is true.
God is love. Definitely so. He determines
whom He loves. God is faithful. Most definitely. He makes men faithful. And He's
faithful to His promises. God is light. Definitely so. He shines on whom and what He
wills. God is good. Oh my, definitely
so. He's good to whom He wills. God
is able. Definitely able. Whatsoever He
wills, He does. He's able to do. He is. God always is. He is the great
I am. He always is. There's so many
things that God is, and whatever God is, He is definitely so. He wills, He purposes, He determines,
He ordains everything, everywhere. Whatsoever the Lord pleases,
that did He. Where? In heaven, in earth, in the seas,
in all deep places, in hell. Psalm 135, six, salvation is
of the Lord. It definitely is of the Lord.
It is. The word of is a preposition. A preposition is a word governing
and preceding a noun and the noun here being the Lord. The
Lord is expressing the relationship here between salvation and by
whom it's governed. It's governed by the Lord. Salvation is of the Lord. It most definitely is so. Not
long ago I heard a man declare that God was sovereign over everything
but salvation. And he was doing good until he
said but. If that's so, then God is not sovereign at all.
If anything comes to pass apart from God's sovereign will and
purpose, then nothing comes to pass is by His will. With the
will and purpose of the sovereign God, my friends, it's all or
nothing. Salvation is of, it's governed,
it's controlled by the Lord. Again, that definite article
thee. It's just talking about the Lord, the only Lord, the
Lord Jesus Christ. Did you know there's only one
Lord? There can only be one Lord overall. Not a Lord, not one
of many Lords, little capital L, but the Lord. He is the Lord Jesus Christ and
salvation is of the Lord. It's definitely of the Lord.
It's governed and controlled by the only Lord, Jesus Christ. He's the Lord of Lords. He's the governing Lord over
all who call themselves Lord. He's the capital L Lord over
the little L Lords. He's the capital K King over
the little K Kings. The whole of Scripture declares
this great truth. This morning I want to again
show you the great truth, this time from the 2nd book of Samuel
chapter 7. Turn there with me. 2nd Samuel
chapter 7. You know, the Old Testament declares
the Gospel the same as the New Testament does. 2nd Samuel chapter 7. I pray
that the Lord will cause this to be a blessing to you. I only wish that this whole community,
this whole state, this whole country, this whole world could
hear this glorious truth. Now there's no man more qualified
than David. in the Scriptures to declare
this great truth. Actually, it's God in our text
that's declaring it. But David spoke more about God's
sovereignty and salvation than any other one person in the Bible. In Psalm chapter 18, verse 2,
David wrote, the Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer. Deliver from what? Sin. My God,
my strength in whom I will trust, my butler, the horn of my salvation
and my high tower. Then in Psalm 27 verse one, he
said, the Lord is my light and my salvation. Who is the Lord
is? In Psalm 37 verse 39, David declared,
the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord. It's the Lord
that makes men and women righteous, and He is definitely their salvation. In Psalm 68 verse 20, David sung,
God is the God of salvation, and unto God the Lord belong
the issues from death. If you and I are to be saved,
that's what salvation is, He's got control over death.
Salvation is of the Lord, it's in his hand. So David no doubt
was convinced that salvation's of the Lord. Are you? Are you? I am, I'm convinced of that. Now, here in 2 Samuel chapter
seven, look at verse one. And it came to pass when the
king, this is speaking of David, sat in his house, and the Lord
had given him rest round about from all his enemies." David
would have troubles and trials to arise again, but at this point
in time in his life, he didn't have any. He had rest from all
of his enemies. The word translated rest here
is the same Hebrew word used when describing the Sabbath rest. And the only rest that a man
can truly have is not having to do anything at all. You know,
you can't even rest. You can be in your recliner,
but if your work's not finished, in the back of your mind, you're
thinking about what you've got yet to do. I really shouldn't
be sitting here. How many times have you said
that? I really shouldn't be sitting here relaxing, resting, because
I've got work to do. I've got things that need to
be done. This is talking about the rest
that we have in Christ. He did it all. Salvation is definitely
of the Lord. All that God requires of me,
my Lord did for me. There's nothing for you and I
to do at all. That's how we can rest. He's
defeated all my enemies, every one of them. Verse two. that the king said unto Nathan,
he's sitting there in his house, and he speaks to the prophet
Nathan, and he says, see now, I dwell in a house of cedar,
but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. Now there's no doubt
that David loved his Lord. He was a man after God's own
heart. He loved the Lord, the Lord loved
him. And he's sitting here and he's looking at all that he has.
And he's dwelling in a palace of cedar, made of the best material
the world has to offer. But the Ark of the Covenant dwelt
in a makeshift tent, in a tabernacle with curtains drawn around it.
And David desires to build a house for the Lord. Verse three, and
Nathan, the prophet of God, said to the king, go, do all that
is in thine heart, for the Lord is with thee. Now, Nathan was
no doubt impressed with David's desire here. He said, go and
do all these things in your heart. David wanted the best for God.
He wanted the best for the glory of God. In verse four, and it
came to pass that night that the word of the Lord came unto
Nathan, saying, Go and tell my servant David, thus saith the
Lord, shalt thou build me a house for me to dwell in? Though David's intentions are
good, this is a rebuke. The Lord is saying, you gonna
build me a house? God is saying, what makes you
think you're qualified to do that? Does man build God a house? That's my question to you. Does
man build God a house? Remember what we read in Acts
chapter 17? God made the worlds. He's the
Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn't need a temple to dwell
in, especially one built with man's hands. God doesn't need
anything from man. It's pretty obvious from what
is transpiring today in this world in which we live that men
and women have forgotten that. But let's not forget that David
was a man. Peter wanted to do the same thing.
Remember when he went to the Mount of Transfiguration with
the Lord and he wanted to build a house, a temple for the Lord,
for Moses and Elijah. David wasn't qualified to build
the Lord a house. No man is. No man is. In verse six, the Lord says,
whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought
up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but
have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. In all the places
wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel, spake
I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to
feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me a house of
cedar? Have I asked you to build me
a house? Huh? No. I didn't ask you to build.
I don't need anything from you. If I want a house, I'll build
it. What a comforting thought is brought to our attention here.
The Lord talks about walking with the children of Israel.
Did you notice that? The Lord walks, I love that song
in the garden. He walks with me and talks with
me. I love the thought that the Lord walks with me. The Lord
Jesus walks with his people. We're told that Enoch walked
with God. You know why? Because God walked
with him. Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Why? For
thou art with me. What shall we fear? God is walking
with us. Now, pay close attention to what
the Lord tells David here. This is something that we need
to learn something about ourselves, verse eight. Now, therefore,
so shalt thou, speaking to Nathan, saying to my servant David, thus
saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheep coat, from
following the sheep. That's what that means, to be
ruler over my people, over Israel. You were a little shepherd boy,
tending your father's sheep. You were a nobody. I took you
and made you the king of Israel. I did it. So the first thing
the Lord says is, I took thee. God's first word is I. God is the alpha and the omega
of salvation. He is the great I am. It always,
always, always begins with him, I. God says, I, even I, am he that
blotteth out thy transgressions. I took thee. That word took covers
many words that teach the electing grace of God. Took, it means
buy. It means receive. It means to
marry. It means to get. It means to
carry. It means to reserve. It means
to seize. It means to arrest. It means
to draw. We don't draw ourselves. It means
to fetch. Fetching grace. I love that. Jonathan has a son. He's laying on both of his feet
from a great fall. Go fetch him. For Jonathan's
sake, go fetch him. The fact of salvation being of
the Lord must include the election of God. Election's not simply
a teaching, a doctrine mentioned a handful of times in the Bible. Election is taught all through
the scriptures. The reason that we're kept and
never forsaken is the glorious fact that it pleased the Lord
to make you His people. Why was the Lord pleased to make
you His? No reason outside of Himself. He sure didn't look
ahead in time and see you was going to be a good boy, a good
girl. For you've done any good or evil that the purpose of God,
according to election might stand. It's of God. Salvation is most
definitely of the Lord. God wanted to and was pleased
to. His choosing of us was unmerited. His calling of us was unconditional,
just as God's grace always is. God's mercy apprehends us. God doesn't save us against our
will. He makes us willing in the day of His power. But thus the eternal counsel
ran, Almighty love. Hell matchless, free, eternal
grace that gave my soul a hiding place. None can stay God's hand. None can arrest God, but no man
can keep God from arresting them. And aren't you thankful? His hand cannot be stayed. He
saves me and He keeps me, and no man can pluck me from His
hand. The Lord Jesus said, my Father, which gave them me, is
greater than all. And no man is able to pluck them
out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." You
know what that means? You can't be plucked from Christ
either. If He ever loved me, Linda, He still loves me. He'll
always love me. I can't jump out of His hand.
I can't be plucked out of His hand. You know what that means?
I'm forever in His hand. In verse 8, the Lord tells David
through Nathan the prophet, He said, I took you. I took you
when you were an insignificant shepherd boy, following the sheep
of your father, and I made you a ruler of Israel. I took thee,
I reserved thee, I bought you, I seized you, I fetched you,
I carried you. When you could do nothing, I
did it for you. When you would do nothing, I
did it for you. I made you what you are, and
I'm gonna say it once again, okay? Salvation is not what we
do for God, but what God does for us. That's so obvious from
this passage. Verse nine, and I was with thee
whithersoever thou winnest, and I have cut off all thine enemies
out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto
the name of the great men that are in the earth. So the second
thing that God mentions here concerning David
and us is that He'll never leave His people nor forsake them.
There's three reasons why. We're justified in His sight.
You see, there's no reason why He would leave me. I have no sin. I'm perfect in
His sight. because of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He doesn't have any reason to forsake me or you. He'll never
leave us nor forsake us because of His grace. Salvation is all
of grace. And He'll never leave or forsake
us because He is immutable. God never changes. If He's with
me, He cannot not be with me. He's immutable, He's unchangeable,
without variableness or shadow of turning. He says, wherever
you went, I was with you. Every day, all our life, all
the time, I was with you, I went with you. The third thing God
did for David and us is He cut off all our enemies out of our
sight. My sins have been cut off at the cross of Christ. The law of God is not my enemy,
not anymore. It used to be, but not anymore.
Christ fulfilled it. Christ kept it perfectly. The
law is now my friend. I have no reason to fear the
law if I have no sin. Satan, he's no longer my enemy.
He cannot accuse me if there's no sin to accuse me of. Christ has blotted out the handwriting
of ordinances that were against us. For sin shall not have dominion
over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace. No
weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every
tongue that shall rise up against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants
of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. The fourth thing
the Lord did for David and every believer is He exalted us and
made us great. He gave us a great name. Well,
what is our great name? Believer, that's a great name.
Oh, I love it. I love to be called a believer.
How about a follower of Christ? What a great name that is. Christian? People today have made that to
mean nothing, but it's a great name. Follower of Christ is what
it means. Children. My Father is the greatest of
all. And it is such an honor and a
great name to be called His children. What about brethren? The Lord
calls us His brethren. Sons. Daughters. He's given us a great name in
Christ. This is the name she, every believer,
shall be called the Lord, our righteousness. He's my righteousness,
that's my name. What a great name that is. Now
look at verse 10, moreover, I will appoint a place for my people
Israel and will plant them that they may dwell in a place of
their own and move no more. Now we're like trees planted
by the rivers of living water. Neither shall the children of
wickedness afflict them anymore as before time, it says here.
When we're planted in Christ, we are safe, we're secure, we're
unmovable, we shall not be moved. Can't be moved. What security
we have in Christ. Isn't that a wonderful thought?
I can't be moved. I'm like a tree planted by the
rivers with deep roots and strong roots. While the winds and storms
of life can blow against me, I'm not gonna be moved. I'm not
gonna fall because Christ is divine that gives me life. What security? Verse 11, and
as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel,
and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies, also
the Lord telleth thee, now look at this, that he will make thee
a house. Oh, this gets to the heart of
my message this morning. The Lord is assuring David that
he's in control. Not David, not you, Not me. He's in control. Salvation is
not something that I do. Salvation is something that God
did for me. The Lord is telling David that
he needs nothing from Him and he needs nothing from anyone
else. The Lord doesn't need anything from you. I'm sorry, I don't
want to hurt your feelings, but the Lord doesn't need anything
from you. Nothing from you whatsoever. And the Lord is also telling
David that man doesn't build a house for the Lord. But the
Lord builds a house for man. Did you hear what God said? Salvation
is definitely of, governed of the Lord. Salvation is definitely
of the Lord, it is. It's assuredly of the Lord. It's
determined of the Lord. It's distinguished by the Lord.
Only the Lord, who is the only Lord is salvation from. And that's exactly what the Lord
is saying in verses 12 through 13. Look at this, this is just
wonderful. And when thy days be fulfilled, and God determines
and fulfills our days, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers,
I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out
of thy bowels, and I'll establish his kingdom. Now, is that talking
about Solomon in this verse? You know, I always thought it
did. In verse 13, is the Lord talking about Solomon when He
says, He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish
the throne of His kingdom forever? Well, Solomon is the one that
built the house for the Lord, but is that who He's talking
about? You know, in 1 Kings, I won't turn you here, but chapter
11, we're told that King Solomon loved many strange women. together
with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, the Ammonites,
Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites. Solomon had 700 wives, princesses,
and 300 concubines. I feel sorry for him. And when
Solomon was old, his wives turned away his hearts after other gods. And his heart was not perfect
with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully
after the Lord as David his father did. Then did Solomon build house
and temples for the strange wives, which burned incense and sacrificed
unto gods. And the Lord was angry with Solomon.
Because his heart was turned from the God, the Lord God of
Israel. And Solomon kept not that which
the Lord commanded. And the Lord said unto Solomon,
Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept
my covenant and my statues, which I have commanded thee, I will
surely rend the kingdom from thee. I'm going to take the kingdom
away from you. So I think it's clear that Solomon in all his
wisdom, the wisest man that ever lived other than the Lord Jesus
Christ. is not the one that this is talking
about. His kingdom was not established
by God. Matter of fact, God said He's
gonna render it away from Him. So in verses 12 and 13 here,
I believe that it's obvious that God is speaking of the Lord Jesus
Christ. He's not speaking to the future
King Solomon. He's speaking of the King of
kings. He's speaking of the Lord of
lords. Now verse 14, I will be his father
and he shall be my son. Oh, what a special union and
relationship between God the father and his son. Now look
at the next line. If he commit iniquity, I will
chase him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children
of men, but my mercy shall not depart away from him as I took
it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. Now, does God all
of a sudden here stop talking about the Lord Jesus and start
talking about Solomon? No. Solomon did commit iniquity,
but he was spared because he was found in Christ, as all the
Old Testament saints of God were. That's the way God, God didn't
save sinners in the Old Testament differently than he did in the
New Testament. He just showed them Christ in picture and type,
and they trust in the one who was to come. In the New Testament
Scriptures, Christ came, and John the Baptist pointed to Him
and said, Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin
of the world. This is the one you gotta trust in. So the Old
Testament says there's one coming. The New Testament says He's come,
you better trust in Him. Old Testament said He's coming,
you better trust in Him. The New Testament said He's come,
you better trust in Him. And the Epistles say He's coming
again. Now hear me when I say that what
I'm about to say passes all our understanding. I don't understand
it. I believe it, but I don't understand
it. When the elect of God, when the
believer had all their sin charged, called imputed in the scriptures
to Christ, it wasn't just their punishment that was charged to
him. Yes, the penalty that I deserved
and that you deserved was charged to Him, but in order for God
to be just, in order for God, who cannot clear the guilty or
punish the innocent, to condemn us, Christ the Lord must become
guilty of all the sin of all the elect throughout all time.
Now, he knew no sin. He never committed a sin himself. But God didn't just charge the
penalty of my sin to him. He charged the sin to him. If
he hadn't, God could not have rightly and justly punished him
in death. That's why He sweat as it were,
great drops of blood, and gets Him in His garden. All the sins
of all His people throughout all time was being charged to
Him, imputed to Him. And what a, oh, He was a man
of sorrows acquainted with grief. Why? Because the grief of our
sin was put upon Him. Sin was being charged to him.
And that's why the grave and death couldn't hold him. He in
and of himself was perfect and knew no sin. I don't understand
that. I shall believe it, because it's
the only hope that I have of being saved. God cannot justly
charge the innocent, and that's why Christ rose from the dead.
Though charged guilty in our room instead, He Himself was
innocent. Christ paid the punishment of
the guilty, but He Himself being innocent, the holy justice of
God had to let Him go. He must rise from the dead. And here's the best part of it,
you and I with Him. And that's why in verse 16, we're
told, in thine house and thy kingdom shall be established
forever before thee. Thy throne shall be established
forever. What a day that'll be when my
Savior I shall see. Heaven's heaven because Christ
is there. That's why we could never build
Him a house. Men are trying, still are. Still
trying to build God a house, but they can't. He must build
us an eternal house and an eternal kingdom. I want you to quickly
turn with me to Psalm 40, and I'll wrap this up, verse six.
Now I want you to think about who's speaking here. In Psalm
40, verse 6, it says, I'll give you a moment to get there, I've
got mine marked, I cheat. Psalm 40, verse 6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst
not desire, mine ears hast thou opened. Burnt offering and sin
offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come, and
the volume of the book it is written of me. I delight to do
thy will, O God, O my God. Yea, thy law is within my heart. Now who's talking there? That's
the Lord Jesus Christ talking. The Lord prepared him a body.
Look down at verse 11 here in chapter 40. Withhold not thou
thy tender mercies from me, O Lord. Let thy lovingkindness and thy
truth continually preserve me. Now look at this. For innumerable
evils have come past me about. Mine iniquities have taken hold
of me. so that I am not able to look
up. They are more than the hairs of my head. Therefore, my heart
faileth me." The Lord here calls these iniquities His, they're
mine iniquities. My sin became His. He calls them
His. He says they're mine. Mine iniquities. Not David Edmondson's sin imputed
to me. Not Tom Whitaker's sin imputed
to me. Not Glenn Hansen's. Not Steve
McCarty's. Not Paul Hibbs. Not Sharon Cothran. Not Chris Cotham. Not Amy Cothran. God chasing Him for my sin and
your sin. All that sin which became His. Mine iniquities, he said, not
yours, they're mine. Do you see the security that
we have in Christ? I want you to see that so badly
this morning. What comfort we, his people,
find in knowing that our iniquity became his. It really did. Christ was not punished for sin
that was not his. And that's what true imputation
of sin does. Men need to stop talking about
their imagined work of righteousness that they do for God and start
talking about His perfect righteousness. Many in the day of judgment are
gonna say, haven't we, haven't we, haven't we? Haven't we done
this? Haven't we done that? Why, we
preach, we cast out devils, we've done this, we've done that. And
the Lord will say, never knew you. Depart from me ye that work iniquity. You know, many imagine that they
do a work of righteousness to earn, deserve, and to merit salvation. And God calls it a work of iniquity. What men are most proud of, God
says, is iniquity. He calls them workers of iniquity. God won't accept it. Will not
accept it. Then how are we accepted? In
the Beloved, in the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the only way.
