Come back to Proverbs chapter
22. Proverbs chapter 22. Title of the message, The Certainty of
the Words of Truth. The Certainty of the Words of
Truth. I know there are many things
written today that are not certain. Theories,
speculations, opinions. Don't believe everything you
read. Don't believe everything you read. You know, my grandson,
especially when he was younger, everything he would see, he believed
it on television. He believed it. And if it was
Martians, you know, there's Martians. He saw it on television. I said,
son, don't believe everything you see on television. Don't
believe everything you read. And I know we live in a day when
it seems that nothing is certain. You know, our health can be taken
away in a moment, just in a moment. We could lose our health. Our
jobs can be taken away. I lost two jobs. They went out
of business on me. Our freedoms can be taken away.
They can be taken away. Everything in this life can and
will be, sooner or later, taken away. Sooner or later. But the Word of God, the Word
of God never changes, and the Scriptures tell us that His Word
will endure forever. And the words of truth never
changes. That's one solid thing about
truth. Truth is always truth. Now, a
lie is always changing. If you're gonna tell one, you
better remember how you told it. You better go write it down and
memorize it. Truth or lie is always changing, but truth never
changes. It's the same, it's solid. It's
solid, it never changes. You and I can read the Word of
God and we can believe it. We can take God at His Word,
it will never change. What God has said will never
change. And we can take God at His Word.
Now he says in verse 17, "...Bow down thine ear, give me your
ear, and hear the words of the wise." Now there are some of
you this morning, you will hear the Word, you will hear the Gospel.
And some of you will just hear. You just hear me talking. But
some will hear. You say, that's right. And not
only will you just hear it, you'll know it in your heart, you'll
know it when truth is preached, when the Gospel is preached.
You know it's preached, don't you? I know when I hear the Gospel. I know it, I can say, Amen, that's
the truth. I can tell you how many times
I listen to Henry preaching, and in my heart I'd be saying,
that's the truth, that's the truth. And that's why he's saying,
bow down in thine ear and hear the words of the wise. Give attention
to them. Now listen, and apply thine heart
unto my knowledge. Don't just receive what you are
hearing intellectually. Embrace it. That's what it is
to hear with the heart. It's to literally embrace the
gospel. It's to embrace Jesus Christ
who is the gospel. It's to embrace it, to hold it
close to you. It's to take it within you. That's
what it is. Listen to the Word of God this
morning. Hear what the Spirit of God is
saying. If I am truly preaching, and
not just talking, If I'm truly preaching, the Spirit of God
is speaking. Isn't that right? The Spirit
of God is speaking. Listen to the Word of God. The
knowledge that you will gain from it cannot be gotten anywhere
else. You can't get what I'm going
to give you this morning, and what we get out of God's Word,
what we got in the Bible class, you can't get this anywhere else. Nowhere else but the Word of
God. And he says here, "...Bow down thine ear, hear the words
of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. For
it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee." Our Lord
said, if my words abide in you, if they abide in you, keep them
within thee. Think upon them. Meditate upon
the Word of God. They shall withal be fitted in
thy lips. Let me read to you the Amplified
Version. It says this, For it will be
pleasant if you keep them, believing them, your lips will be accustomed
to confessing them. In other words, you'll be accustomed
to speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ. That won't be strange
to you. Someone asks you of Him, you'll
be able to give a reason of the hope that's within you. You'll
be able to give it, if it's in you. When the Word of God or
when the Word of Truth, the Word of the Gospel, is received by
faith in the heart and kept in the life, it's pleasant. It's pleasant. It's like Ezekiel's
roll. It was like honey in his belly. It's sweet. The Word of God is pleasant to
those who believe. It's pleasant to you, isn't it?
Now, to those who don't believe, it's not pleasant. It's not pleasant. But it is to those who believe.
And it brings inward peace. I'll tell you this, the Word
of God, as David said, is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto
my path. Saturate yourself in the Word
of God. that thy trust, and here's what
it leads to, that thy trust, thy confidence, that's what he's
talking about, your confidence may be in the Lord. What's your
confidence in this morning? That you're living right? Is
that your confidence? You get shot before you get out
the door, if that was your confidence. Because our thoughts, our thoughts,
our very thoughts before we get out of here will condemn us.
We start thinking of something else out there, doing this, doing
that. Why are the Gospels being preached? Why God speaking? No, that thy confidence may be
in the Lord. You know, the Scripture says
the just shall live by faith. We live by confidence in the
Lord. That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to
thee this day, even to thee, to you. You know, when I preach,
I really don't preach to an audience. In my mind, in my heart, I don't
preach to an audience. I preach to you. As if you were
the only one in this room. I preach to you. I'm not preaching
to anybody outside these walls this morning. I'm preaching to
you. The message this morning is to
you. By the words of the gospel, your trust, it's what I hope
this morning for us, that your trust and my trust will be in
the Lord. Our confidence and our hope will
be in the Lord Jesus Christ. Now Solomon gives in verse 20
and 21 the reason for writing these things to his son. He's
writing here to his son. Have not I written to thee excellent
things in counsels and knowledge?" Solomon didn't write to his son
about science, mathematics, architect. He didn't write on how to win
friends and influence people. He didn't write that. He wrote excellent things. What
are these excellent things? It's things concerning God. Christ,
salvation. These are excellent things in
counsels and knowledge. These excellent things are things
that concern God, whose name is excellent. His name is said
to be excellent. And the things in counsel are
the things that concern the counsel of God. The things that concern Jesus
Christ and Him crucified. Things that concern how God can
be a just God and a Savior. These excellent things are things
that are spiritual, things that we need, that we might grow in
grace and in knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. These are
the excellent things and these are the things worth writing
about. These are the things worth singing about. In Isaiah 12,
verse 5, it says, "'Sing unto the Lord, for he hath done excellent
things.'" This is known in all the earth. It's known here. It's
known in Lexington. It's known in Mexico. It's known
in all the earth. God has a people in every tribe,
kindred, tongue, and nation under heaven. And these excellent things
are known. They are known. And verse 21,
that I might make thee know the certainty. And this is so important. I make you know the certainty
of the words of truth, that you might answer the words of truth
to them that sin unto thee. A man should never enter the
pulpit who is not certain that what he's preaching is the truth.
I mean, you are ready to give your life for it. It's the truth. You know, one preacher said this,
I was only preaching what I heard someone else say. I'm not preaching
what I heard someone else say. I'm preaching what I heard the
Lord say in His Word. I'm not just preaching what I
heard Henry Mahan say. Henry Mahan preached the gospel.
I'm preaching the same gospel as he is. I'm saying the same
things he says. But I've heard him, the Lord
Jesus Christ, in His Word. It's like when the woman at the
well went to town, she said, come see a man that told me everything
I ever did. They went out, the Lord spoke to them. They said,
now we believe not because of her words, but we have heard
Him for ourselves. We have heard the Lord ourselves. The truth must be established
in our hearts first. Or how shall we preach? How shall
we preach to others? I love to hear a man preach that
believes what he's preaching. I believe it was Benjamin Franklin.
Somebody asked him when he went to hear George Whitefield. They
said, why do you go hear him? You don't believe the gospel.
You don't believe what he's saying. He said, no, but he does. He
does. He believes it. An uncertain person will give
an uncertain note. That's right, they'll give an
uncertain tune, an uncertain message. We must search our hearts and
see if these words of truth are settled in our hearts. And that's why he says that I
might make thee know. I may know them in your soul,
in your heart that you know. I know this is so. I know this
is the truth. I know the gospel is the gospel,
I'm telling you. I know it. I've read it in the
Word of God. Here's a second reason here in
verse 21, "...that thou mightest answer the words of truth to
them that send unto thee, that you may give a true answer to
those who sent you." That's what he's saying. "...that you may
give a true answer, that he might be a faithful ambassador, that
he might preach the words of truth to those who send him, to come and preach to them. But
it also has this meaning that it's like they sent him out,
and he comes back to them with the words of truth. He said,
here are the words of truth to those who sent him out, and he's
gathered the words of truth, and he brought them back. You
know what that's like? That's like me going to my study.
me going to my study through the week. And you send me. You financially make it possible
for me to go to that study. And in that study I study. And
then I come back and I give you the words of truth. That's what
He's saying. You can come back and give us
the truth, the gospel. The gospel. You can come back.
And that's what I do every week. I go to that study and I come
back. And you send me to do it, don't you? You financially take
care of me and you send me, you don't expect me to just lollygag
around. That would be disastrous. I go to that study and I study
and I bring to you the words of truth. In 1 Peter 3 it says this, "...but
sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to
give an answer to every man that asks you, a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear." So here this morning, I'm going
to give you the certainty of the words of truth. Now what are these certainties?
Now listen, I'm going to read you a lot more scriptures, because
as I looked at this, it would be unwise for me to talk to you
about the words of truth this morning and not give you the
words of truth. I've heard preachers use the
name of Jesus Christ, they talk about salvation in Christ, but
they never tell who He is. They never tell about the salvation
that He accomplished. All they do is just use His name,
but they never get around to say anything about it. And I don't want to be guilty
of that this morning. So what are these words of truth? Here's
the first one. God is. God is. We've got to deal with
that. God is. That is a certainty. In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning, God. God. It starts with God. We must
start with Almighty God. Without the being of God, being
here this morning is senseless. It's useless. If God does not
exist, why are we here? Well, He does exist. God is. He that comes to God written
in Hebrews, which I think Paul wrote in Hebrews. He that comes
to God must believe that He is. We've got to deal with Him. We've
got to deal with God. I know there are some who say
that there's no God. Scripture calls them a fool.
The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. But saying there
is no God, does not do away with God. You know, what I believe or don't
believe doesn't make it so. It doesn't have one effect on
whether it's true or not true, whether I believe in it or not
believe in it. God is. The Scriptures declare, now listen,
the Scriptures declare that God is. The Scriptures do not try
to prove that He is, and God's preachers do not try to prove
that God is. We declare that He is. We declare
that He is. Nature declares that He is. In
Psalm 19, the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament
showeth His handiwork. Day unto day utter a speech and
night unto night showeth knowledge. What is that speech and what
is that knowledge? God is. God is. Only a fool, only a fool will
walk outside the house and look at all of creation. Only a fool
will look in the mirror and deny the existence of God. Only a
fool will do that. The heavens do everything. As soon as you open your eyes,
everything declares that God is. Now listen, knowing that God
is. I know that He is. I believe
He is. What kind of God is He? You think
we'd be interested in that, don't you? You talk to most people
and they believe there is a God. They believe there is a God.
Well, if that's so, wouldn't you want to know what
kind of God He is? Wouldn't you want to know who He is? If you
believe that God created all things, you believe God created
the heavens and the earth, that God created Adam, and from Adam
we have the human race, and yet we're not really interested in
the God we believe that He is? That's stupid. God is. And what kind of God
is He? Creation reveals that God is,
and that He must be a God of power. I mean, you have to be
a God of power and wisdom to have all this variety, to have
all this greatness. He cannot be a weak God. Yet,
that's an incomplete revelation of who God is. It does not reveal
His character. It does not reveal His holiness,
His justice, His love, His mercy, His complete deity. It doesn't
reveal that. You can't see that. You can see
that He is. But there's only one place, only
one place where we find that God is and find out who He is. And that's the Lord Jesus Christ.
And that's in His Word. Listen, you cannot separate the
written Word of God from the living Word of God. You can't
make that separation. You can't separate the written
Word and Christ who is the living Word of God. Only in the Lord
Jesus Christ can we really see and know and understand the person
of God. Take my yoke upon you and learn
of me. And learning of Christ, we learn of who God is. Learning
of Christ, we learn the true nature of God, the true character
of God. Matthew 11, 27, All things are
delivered unto me of my Father. No man knows the Father but the
Son, neither knoweth any man the Father. Let me read this
again. You can't know the Father. You
can't know God Almighty as God apart from Jesus Christ. Christ Himself
must reveal Him for you to know Him. Right understanding of the Father
and a right relationship with the Father comes through, by,
and in Jesus Christ. Our Lord said in John 17, verse
3, And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. That's the
only way you can know Him. 1 John 5.20, And we know that
the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that
we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true,
even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal
life. Jesus Christ is the true God
and eternal life. But He has come and He has given
us an understanding. I understand, I have some understanding
of who God is. I have an understanding of who
Jesus Christ is, the Son of God. And I have an understanding of
my need of Him. My need of His righteousness. My need of His
blood to cleanse me from my sins. I need Him. I need Him. Now, let's look at a few of the attributes
of God this morning. Let's look at some of his attributes.
I want to know who he is. I want to know this. When I die, I want to know the
God I'm going to face. I don't want this to be speculation. I want to know exactly the one
I'm about to face. Exodus 15.11, Who is like unto
thee, O Lord, among the gods? That's little g. Who is like
Thee, glorious in holiness? This is where we start. Fearful
in praises, doing wonders, but He's glorious in holiness. In
Isaiah 6.3, Isaiah 6.3 tells us, gives us a glimpse of what's
going on in heaven. And one cried unto another, and
they said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts, The whole
earth is full of His glory, but that which they praise the most
in heaven is not the love of God, it's the holiness of God. Because apart from His holiness,
His love wouldn't be any different than ours. Fickle, sinful. When we talk about God, and we
talk about the attributes of God, God is love, God is just,
God is merciful, He is kind, but attached to the front of
all of those attributes, it has to be this, holy. His love is holy love. His justice is a holy justice.
His mercy is a holy mercy. His kindness is a holy kindness.
That's what separates God from me and you. You know what holy
means? Here's the meaning of holy. It
means this, other than. It means other than. It's other
than what I have. I don't have holiness. By nature,
I have nothing but sin. That's all I am. Sin. And then, God is just. In Isaiah
45, verse 21, "...Tell ye, and bring them near, yea, let them
take counsel together, who hath declared this from ancient time,
who hath told it from that time, have not I the Lord, and there
is no God else beside me, a just God and a Savior." There's none
beside me, but I am a just God and a Savior. God is just. And His justice is strict justice. And every believer here wants
it that way. I want God to be just. Now, I want God to be just,
but I want Him to deal with me and mercy in Christ in a just
way. In a just way. A way that God
can still be God, He can still be a just God and be a Savior.
He said, I am a just God and a Savior. Now, if anyone has any understanding,
you say, how can that be? I'm a wretched sinner. God said,
the soul that sinneth shall surely die. God is a just God and for
Him to be absolutely just, He must punish my sins. Now how
in the world can that be? How can God be a just God and
a Savior? Well, keep on listening to the
words of truth, and I'll get to that. The Scripture says, He will by
no means clear the guilty. Not without His justice being
satisfied He's not. The guilty is going to die. That's
why Jesus Christ became my substitute. He became guilty in my place,
and He had to die. It says in Deuteronomy 32.4,
He is the rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are judgment,
a God of truth, and without iniquity, just and right is He. Just and right. The ungodly world.
This ungodly world is in for a rude awakening. Every time
a person dies, that I know of, when I hear of a person dying,
every time, My first thought is this, they have now met God. There's no speculations. There's
no wondering. They have now met Almighty God. They've met Him. And this world's in for a rude
awakening. It's about to meet God who is just and cannot be
bought off. He can't be bought off. Riches
will not help in His court. Silver and gold won't get you
anywhere in that court. The Scripture says that His Word
divides asunder to every thought and intent of the heart. This is beyond our comprehension,
but you know that when people stand before God in judgment,
when the ungodly stand there before Him in judgment, every
thought they ever had is going to come up. That's what He says. Every thought, every idle word,
it says, will be brought up. Every idle word. You ever just
sit around talking, laughing, carry on? You know, every one
of those words is going to be brought up in judgment? You think, that's not possible. Oh, yes, it is. Yes, it is. And if one little speck of sin
is found, He's going to say, bind him hand and foot and cast
him in the fire. And then our God is immutable. That just means He's unchangeable. He changes not. He's holy, He's
just, and He's unchanging. He's unchanging. Job said in
Job 23, He's in one mind. Who can turn Him? And what His
soul desires, that, even that He does. That's what He does.
Whatever His soul desires, you can't turn Him. He's of one mind. He doesn't cast a shadow like
you and I do. One direction, one purpose. He's still fulfilling
his purpose that he purposed before the foundation of the
world. God's purpose does not change and it never will change. Romans 11, for the gifts and
calling of God are without repentance. Isaiah 54, For the mountains
shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall
not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace
be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. It won't
do it. My sinfulness won't change it. My sinfulness doesn't change
God. Isn't that good news? My failings
and my fallings will not change the purpose of God of saving
me in Christ. It won't do it. In Malachi 3.6, I am the Lord,
I change not. Therefore you sons of Jacob are
not consumed. That's why you and I, sons of election, that's
why you and I are not consumed. That's why God doesn't destroy
us. Because He doesn't change. His purpose doesn't change, His
covenant of grace never changes. His way of saving us, accepting
us, cleansing us, it never changes. Listen to this, Hebrews 13.8,
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's the
same. Same Savior, same God. He never
changes. This is great comfort to God's
people. I change not. That's great comfort. I change not. God's love remains the same.
God's mercy remains the same to us in all, no matter how long
we live. Even to our old age. He said
in one place in Scripture, even to your horrid hairs, your old
age, I will carry you. I'll carry you. And then God is merciful. In
1 Kings 3, His mercy is great, it says. It says in Psalm 86,
His mercy is plenteous. It says in Luke 1, His mercy
is tender. It says in 1 Peter 1, His mercy
is abundant. It says in Psalm 103, His mercy
is from everlasting to everlasting. God is a God of mercy. He delights
to show mercy. God delights to show mercy. And
when the scripture speaks of God delights, that's on a level
that's way up here. That's infinite. That's an infinite
delight. It can't be measured. You know,
you and I delight in things for a little while, then we get tired
of them. Or they wear out or whatever. Our delight goes like
this, up and down. But God delights to show mercy
on a level that we can't even conceive. He delights to show mercy. And
then God is faithful. God is faithful. Oh, everyone
in here, I know this, everyone in here appreciates faithfulness. Even though you might not be
that faithful in things yourself, you appreciate it in others,
don't you? You know, I owned a business
for 25 years. I was appreciative of those guys that showed up
on time. There were certain people that were faithful to punch a
clock at seven in the morning and there all day. You'd count
them as there every day. Faithful. And then there was
others that came dragging in. They might punch in on time today
and tomorrow they're five minutes late or they call in and whatever
excuse. Boy, I tell you what, you were
appreciative of those faithful ones. Our God is faithful. Deuteronomy
7, know therefore that the Lord thy God, he's God, the faithful
God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love him
and keep his commandment to a thousand generations. And Lamentations
3, it is of the Lord's mercies we are not consumed because his
compassion fell not. They are new every morning. Great
is thy faithfulness. You know why you're here this
morning? You know why I'm here this morning? God is faithful. That's why we are here. God is
faithful. Faithful to His Word, faithful
to His people, faithful to His Son, faithful to Himself. Faithful. And we have in the Scriptures
the certainty of man's fall. It's not left up to speculation
as to why we're in the mess we're in. Aren't you glad you know why?
There's people out there still scratching their heads. Scientists
out there. The government's spending millions and millions and millions
of dollars to find out why we're in the mess we're in. All you
gotta do is just turn to Genesis chapter three. It's so simple. It's just so simple. Save millions
of dollars. You realize how many trillions
of dollars that we could save if we just believed God. If you
just believe God, this country could come out of debt. Just
by believing God. Listen, in Genesis 2. And the
Lord took the man, put him in the garden, told him to dress
and keep it. And the Lord commanded the man, saying, Of every tree
of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of knowledge
of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day you
eat of it, you shall surely die. He ate of it, and here's the
mess. That's why we are in the mess we're in. Romans 5, Wherefore, as by one
man sin entered the world, and death by sin, so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned. Here we are. Here we
are. That's the truth. This is a certain
truth. This is how we got where we are. But you know what the good news
is? There's salvation from this mess. There's salvation from
me being a mess. I am a mess. By nature, I am
a mess. You're a mess. We're all a mess. But there's
good news. There's certainly good news. When I wrote some of these things
down, when I got to this part of it, my first thought was this,
the gospel sounds too good to be true. It sounds too good to
be true that I can be forgiven of all my sins, cleansed from
all unrighteousness, taken to a place where there's going to
be a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness,
and I don't have to do one single thing for it. It's all by grace. God loved me. God chose me. God
called me. Christ redeemed me. and He's
going to raise me from the grave, and I'm going to be with Him
in glory, all by the grace and work of Jesus Christ. That sounds
too good to be true, but it is. You know how we can believe that? It's the Word of God. It's the
Word of God. Listen, Matthew 17. While He
yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold,
a voice out of the clouds said, This is my beloved Son, in whom
I am well pleased. Hear Him. Hear Him. Hear Him. This is the Son of
God who came into the world to redeem us. He came to redeem
us. The God of heaven and earth,
now listen to this, the God of heaven and earth became bone
of our bone, flesh of our flesh. Isn't that something? The God that I spoke to you of
earlier, holy, just, righteous, merciful, that God became a man. Walked on this earth, kept His
own law in my place, went to the cross, God in human flesh,
as a real man, now not just imitating a man, but as a real man, He
went to the cross and died under the penalty of His own law in
my place. Now He didn't just die under
the penalty of His own law and just throw it out there and say,
now whoever wants it, whosoever will, let him come. That's right.
Who will? Who will? Well, Psalm 110 says,
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power. That's
who will. Nobody else will. Christ said to those Pharisees,
you will not come to me that you might have life. There's
people who have sat under this gospel all their life and will
not come to Christ. They will not do it. God has to make you willing.
He has to give you a heart that's willing. He has to. Because by
nature we don't love light. Darkness doesn't love light because
it says it will not come to the light unless this deed should
be reproved. A thief doesn't go down, he doesn't
hang around the police station. He doesn't hang around the police
station. He gets as far away from that place as he can. Darkness
is not going to come to God. It's not going to come to Christ. You know, man, the scripture
says, drink iniquity like water. Sin, iniquity, the pleasures
of this flesh is like a cool drink of water on a hot day to
an ungodly man or woman. Righteousness is like cramps
my style. We don't want righteousness until
God saves us. And what our Lord came to do,
it's certain that what He came to do was to save sinners, and
sinners are going to be saved. They're going to be saved. Everyone
He died for is going to be saved. Has to. The law can't condemn
those for whom He died. If the law is satisfied, it's
satisfied on behalf of someone. He didn't just die for sin like
it's something floating in the air. Sin is what I am. He died for me. He came into this world on purpose
to die for me. And you who believe, He came
to die for us. And all who shall believe, all
who has ever believed, Christ came to die and put away their
sins. And it's a multitude of sinners
that no man can number. The hardest thing in the world
to do is to find a sinner. You can't hardly find them. Now
it takes God to make one. It takes God to make you and
me understand what we are by nature. We're a bunch of God-hating
rebels. By nature. And it takes the power of God
to make us fall in love with Jesus Christ. Our God. My Lord and my God. That's who
He is. And then there's a certainty
of His return. He said, let not your heart be troubled. You believe
in God, in John 14. Believe also in Me. In My Father's
house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have
told you. I'll go and prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again and get you. He's coming. Do you believe that? He rose
from the dead, He's sitting on high, He's seated right now,
bringing everything into subjection, and He's coming again. The angel
said to the disciples as they watched Him go into heaven, this
same Jesus, whom you see go away, He's coming again in like manner.
He's going to come in the same way. And He's going to be like
a thief in the night. All of a sudden, it's just going
to happen. And then I'm going to close.
We have the certainty of His promises. God's promises are
certain. Whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord, it says in Romans 10, 13, they shall be
saved. That is a certain promise. You
can count on it. Have you called on the name of
the Lord? Have I called on His name? I do call on it. I call
on it every day. I call on it every day. All the
promises of God, it says in 2 Corinthians 1.20, all the promises of God
in Him are yea, and in Him, Amen, and to the glory of God by His...
All the promises of God are true in Him, certain. That's why I
said they're all certain in Him. Take God at His Word, and all
His promises to us in Christ, you can hang your hat on. You
can stake your life on it. That's a promise. You and I,
listen, you and I, you and I who believe, we have the certainty
of the words of truth. Make much use of it. Make much
use of them. All right.
