Another very simple message. Verse 28 of Romans chapter 2, Paul makes a statement that only believers
would actually understand. For he is not a Jew, which is
one outwardly. And there's lots and lots of
Jews that have an outward appearance of being Jews. They want to be
recognized as Jews, as the way they dress, the way they conduct
themselves, the way they go to the synagogue. Neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh. They circumcised
the males when they was eight days old, as a sign of the covenant
of Abraham, that God made with Abraham. So here is what a real
Jew is. But he is a Jew, which is one
inwardly. And circumcision is that of the
heart. God takes the uncleanness away from the heart and in the spirit. He works in
the spirit. Man's in the heart and in the
spirit and not in the letter, not in the law. Whose praise
is not of men, And if you're a Jew outwardly, then you're
looking for praise of men, but the praise is not of men, but
of God. God Himself looks to those that
are Jews, made those that are Jews outwardly, inwardly. And
then He asked this question in verse 1. What advantage then
does have the Jew? And what profit is there of circumcision
if it's not Jew outwardly, circumcision of the flesh? Well, much in every
way, chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles
of God, or the word of God. For what if some did not believe?
You know, they didn't believe. They're not believers. Share
their unbelief, make the faith of God without effect, or make
what God does for a man and his heart without effect. God forbid. Yea, let God be true, but every
man a liar. as it is written, that thou might
be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou
art just." Out there in verse 4 is what I want to talk about. Let God be true. Let God be true. Now I know I've been confronted
with this many times and you have over the years. And we hear
from others and they ask the question, what about all the
other religious people? What about the heathens and all
about the people who don't believe like you do? You know, that's one of the first
things people want to know. What about people who don't believe
like you? Are they saved? What about the heathen? Don't
God supposed to give them a chance? You know, God surely wouldn't
be just sending people to hell that never even heard the name
of Christ. And what do you do about those
people who don't believe like you do? Are they lost? Let me
give you three things to start with. God's immutably sovereign. And he's going to do just exactly
as he wills to do in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants
of the earth. And ain't nobody going to stay his hand or say
unto him what thou doest. He does accord His will in the
armies of heaven, and reputes all that happens to the earth
as nothing, and measures the waters in the haul of His hand,
and counts the nations as a drop in the bucket. He said, Let not
the potsherds of the earth strive with the potsherds. Oh, don't
let him strive with his maker. Have not the potter power over
the clay to do with it as he pleases. And here's the next
thing. Man is utter and absolute ruin. Man was born lost. He come forth from his mother's
womb lost. He's not going to grow up and
be lost. He's not going to be lost when he leaves this world.
He was born lost. He was born ruined. Sin ruined
his mind, ruined his will, ruined his nature. Made him a sinner
by nature. Made him a sinner by practice.
There's not a thing, there's not a spot Not a spot, not a
speck in a man, inside or outside, that's worth anything apart from
the grace of God. There's not a good spot on him
anywhere. Man's utterly and absolutely ruined by the fall, by sin. And then the third thing is that
God has a purpose in redeeming sinners by our Lord Jesus Christ. God has a purpose in it. Everything
God does, He does on purpose. And you know when people say,
well, what about all the religious people and people don't believe
like you do? Well, we only have one answer we can give them.
And only one answer and one place we can go to find the answer
to that question. And that's to the Scriptures
themselves. That to the Scriptures themselves. He read in Acts chapter
2 this evening and Peter, almost all of his message dealt with
Old Testament Scriptures and explaining those Old Testament
Scriptures. And that's what he did. And the answer, and all
we have to go by, is the Scriptures, the Word of God. And that's why
he said, Yea, let God be true, and every man a liar. And that's
what, you know, if God's going to be true, and if you're going
to come to conclusions, and you don't want to question God, and
take your little old puny brain, or anybody else's puny brain,
and question God about how He does in His world, he said, Let
God be true, and every man a liar. And according to the Word of
God, no one is saved. You know, and the Scripture says
this, Isaiah 8.20, If they speak not according to the law and
the testimony, this word right here, if they speak not according
to the law and the testimony, it's because there's no light
in them. And he said in Isaiah 65, he
says this, He says, you know, I was found of them that didn't
even seek me. I was found of them that wasn't
even looking for me. And so this is the thing. God's
going to be right no matter what anybody says. Going to be right. And I love that about Him. I
love that about Him. And according to the Word of
God, No one is saved who is not born again. That's what God says. Let God be true about that. And
nobody is saved, I don't care where he's at or where he's from,
until he's born again. And everybody you know, people
say, they ask you a question, are you a born again Christian?
Let me tell you something, there's no other kind. There's no other
kind. If a man doesn't have the new
birth, he cannot call himself a Christian. If a man does not
have a new heart, he cannot call himself a Christian. If God does
not regenerate a man, he cannot call himself a Christian. I don't
care where he's from or what he preaches or anything else.
Our Lord Jesus Christ told Nicodemus, He said, I say unto thee, except
a man be born again, he can't see the kingdom of God. And except
a man be born of the water and spirit, he can't enter the kingdom
of God. And he said, oh, how in the world can these things
be? And our Lord says, the wind blows where it will, You can
hear the sound, and it will blow where it will,
and that's the way the Spirit is when He comes to save a man.
He blows where He will. He blows on whole nations. You
know, you go to Africa right now, go to Ethiopia, go to Algeria,
go to North Africa. Go over to Turkey, go over to
Greece, go all them places. There was all one time where
the apostles preached, where Galatia was, Colossians was,
down in Thessalonica, down in Greece. That's where all them
churches was. And now they wouldn't know God from a goat. Why is
that? Because God is in sovereign birth.
He says the gospel, then he turns it on. But I do know that a man
cannot be saved who's not born again. I know that without a doubt.
Look over in Ezekiel 16. Here's what I'm talking about.
Look in Ezekiel 16. That's this new birth. This new
birth. And I get so, you know, people
say, well, he's a born-again Christian, you know. Like there
is some other kind. And the new birth, I'll tell
you something, A man don't do anything to be born again. Salvation
is of the Lord. And if a man, you know why a
man calls on God? Because God first called on him.
Do you know when you start calling on God? After you have life.
A baby don't start crying until it comes out of the womb. And
that's the way it is. And we had as much to do with
our second birth, the new birth, as little as we did with our
first birth. Salvation to the Lord. You don't do something
in order to get born again. You don't come to the front and
bow down and pray and get born again. You don't get born again
by choice of church. God the Spirit blows where it
lifts us. And oh, listen to what He said
here in Ezekiel 16. Look what he said here, down
now in verse 5. Talking about this baby, little
baby, thrown out by his mother and his father. It was something
wrong with him. And he was washed and supple,
not swallowed or salted or swallowed. And he says, None I pitted thee
to do any of these unto thee, wash you or swallow you. But
thou was cast out into the open field to the loathing of thy
person in the day that thou was born. And when I passed by thee,
I saw thee polluted in thy own blood. And that's what our problem
is, the blood of Adam. We got Adam's blood in us. And
I saw you polluted in your blood, and I said unto thee, when thou
was in thy blood, live! Yea, I said unto thee, when thou
was in thy blood, I said, live! God says, live! Elijah has come
forth! And he that was dead came forth.
And oh, he told Ezekiel, said, look! And he took him down to
a big valley. Far as the eye can see, dead,
dry bones. Everywhere, dead, dry bones. God said to him, Son of man,
can these bones live? Lord, thou knowest. He said,
well, I'll tell you what I want you to do. He said, I want you
to preach to them. How would you like to be in Ezekiel,
standing there looking at all these dead bones up on the hillsides
and down in the valleys? Oh, just nothing but bones scattered
everywhere. God says, preach to them. Oh,
Ezekiel went to preaching. He said, tell them bones, bones
come to bones. And it started coming together.
He said, now tell them to stand on their feet. They all stood
up on their feet. He said, now tell them flesh
to come up on them. Flesh come on them. And He says,
now tell the Spirit to come. And the Spirit come and they
all come to life. And that's what salvation, that's
the new birth. That's what salvation is. God
taking dead men and giving them life. And that ain't nobody. I'll tell
you what you can say, what people say, well, what do you think
about other people? Nobody's saved until they have
the new birth. Is that not right? Wouldn't you
agree with that? I'm going to tell you something
else that I know. And this is true. Nobody is saved
who does not believe the Lord Jesus Christ. Now you cannot
be saved and not know Jesus Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord
Jesus Himself said, He said, except you believe that I am
He, that I am, the great I am, God come down from eternity,
except you believe that I am, you know what He said you'll
do? You'll die and you'll sin. You'll die in your sin. Therefore,
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ. Now, we'll carry Romans with
me for just a minute. Go back over to Romans. You know,
we're not talking about just historical facts. We're talking
about trusting and knowing a living person. People say that the gospel
is the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus. That's facts. But if
you look at that 1 Corinthians 15, the first five verses, four
verses, it says that he died according to the Scriptures.
That's the difference stated here. Died according to the Scriptures. Was buried according to the Scriptures. Raised again the third day according
to the Scriptures. So how are we going to know anything
about the Lord Jesus Christ except through the Scriptures? Except
through somebody telling us about Him. Somebody is telling us what
He is, telling us who He is. Paul said, I need to say I know
what I believe. He said, I know who I have believed. And you see, beloved, it's not
just in her historical facts. We trust in a living person. The Lord Jesus Christ, He is
living. He is alive and He is at the
right hand of God. And if you get to Christ and
come to Christ, you go to a man sitting on a throne. And oh,
look what He said here in Romans 3.20. This is what I'm talking about.
Nobody's saved who doesn't believe the Lord Jesus Christ. Let God
be true. People say, well, what do you
all think about other people? I'm telling you what the scripture
said. Look what he said here in verse
20. Therefore, by the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh
be justified in God's sight, in His sight. You know what the
law was given for? Never to justify a man. Never
to cause a man to live right. Never to cause a man to reform
his nature. Never to cause anybody to have
it as a rule of life. The law comes to make us to know
what our sin is. Ain't that what it says? By the
law is the knowledge of sin. God's law comes and makes us
to know just how sinful we are. Now look what he says. But he
says, now that would be an awful place to be left. But now, oh
that word, but now. the righteousness of God, God's
righteousness, His nature, His character, His righteousness
that He gives. Without the law, without the
Ten Commandments, without the marital law, without the ceremonial
law, it was witnessed by the law, by the scriptures and the
prophets. Now what righteousness is he
talking about here? Even the righteousness of God
Which is how? By faith of Jesus Christ unto
all and of all all them that believe. And there ain't no difference. You got to trust Him. And look down at verse 25. Now
this is what we're talking about. No one trusting a person. And
God sent forth our Lord Jesus Christ. And that word set forth
means foreordained. And He foreordained him to be
a perpetuation. A perpetuation means the same
thing as a mercy seat. A mercy seat. A place to go where
mercy is given. Where the blood's been sprinkled
on it. And through faith in His blood
that's on that mercy seat. And God does this in setting
forth and made Him a mercy seat for us and the blood on that
mercy seat to declare that God is righteous. for the payment
of sins that are passed through God forbearing. To declare, I
say at this time, God's righteousness. Listen to it now, that He might
be just. He's just. But bless His holy
name. And He's the justifier of who?
Him that believeth in Jesus. Oh my, wait a minute. Where's
our boasting then? Where's our boasting? We're Jews.
We're madness. We're going to church. We're
reformed. We're Calvinist. Well, where's
our boasting then? What about my works? What about
my decision? What about my paying through?
Where's boasting then? It's excluded. Oh, by what law? By what principle? Of works?
Oh, no, no, no. It couldn't be by that. If it
did, you'd brag. No, but by the law, the principle of faith.
Now listen to it. Therefore we conclude that a
man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. I'm telling
you, beloved, a man is not saved who does not believe the Lord
Jesus Christ. And that's why we preach all
the time, fly to Him, flee to Him for refuge. And I'll tell
you this, it'll be inevitable that you'll fly to Him and flee
to Him if you ever see Him. If you ever see Him, you'll go
to Him. I know that without a doubt.
If you ever see Christ, you'll go to Him. Now, ain't that right? And I tell you, that's something
that a believer does all the time. Right now, right now, there's
somebody going to Him right now because you heard me say that.
Lord, I come, I come, Oh, Lord, I come. That's why the Lord said,
Come unto Me. No man can come to the Father
but by Me. And I'm going to tell you something
else. You ain't let God be true in every man of iron. You wonder
about, well, what do we think about other people? I'm just
telling you. Third thing is this. A man is not saved who has not
heard the Gospel. God will not save a sinner apart
from the Gospel. You know what the gospel is?
I'm going to tell you what the gospel is. The gospel is defined. You can define the gospel. Turn over with me to Galatians.
Galatians chapter 1. Over to Galatians chapter 1. A man is not saved who has not
heard the gospel. And I tell you, this is one of
those things, you know, And everybody's got a view about the gospel,
but God Himself calls it the gospel of God, the gospel of
grace, the gospel of His glory, and the gospel concerning His
Son. And the gospel must be defined if we're going to ever see anybody
come to Christ. We must preach the gospel. And
the word gospel in and of itself means good news. Good news. And look what he said in Galatians
1.6, I marvel, talking about these Galatians, somebody come
in, brought them back under the law, you know, they trusted,
they're supposed to have trusted Jesus, and somebody come along,
preached to them, said, well, you can't be saved without the
law of Moses. Well, Paul said, I marvel that
you are so soon removed from him that called you into the
grace of Christ unto another gospel. Now, wait a minute. which
is not another. There's no other gospel. But
there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel
of Christ. You know what it takes to pervert
the gospel of Christ? It's just add one condition to
yourself coming to Christ or add one thing to Christ. That's
all it takes. That's all it takes. All I've
got to tell you is, is that if you're going to come to Jesus,
the condition is this, and right then and there I've perverted
the gospel. If I set a condition on you coming to Christ, then
I've perverted the gospel. Ain't that right? See the thing is about the gospel
is Christ, God has conditions on salvation. God required conditions. He required perfection. He required
obedience. He required absolute obedience,
heart love for himself and for neighbor. And those conditions,
faith, and repentance, all these things that God required of us,
well, our Lord Jesus Christ met every condition for us. He believed God for us. That's
why I said, Father, forgive them. They don't know what they do.
That's why we said we, through the faith of Christ, not our
faith in Christ, but we, the faith of Christ. He had perfect
faith. And so, that's the faith. And perfection, we get it in
Christ. You're complete in Him, perfect
in Him. And yes, I'm going to be saved
by my works, because Christ did them all for me. I'm trusting His Word. And whatever
He did, I did. Ain't that what the Scripture
says? When He died, we died with Him. When He was buried, we was
buried with Him. When He was raised up, we was
raised up with Him. When He sat down, we sat down
in Him. And then it goes on to say this,
that they would pervert the gospel of Christ. But in verse 8, But
though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto
you, than that which I have preached unto you, let it be accursed. Let him be accursed. As we said
before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel
unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed. Now look
in Ephesians 1. Let's take a look at this. And that's why it's so important.
That's why we talk so much about the gospel. That's why we talk
so much about the gospel, and the man who preached the gospel
talks so much about the gospel, the importance of the gospel.
Don't just invite folks to church and say, why don't you come hear
the gospel? Or say, come hear what our preacher has to say.
See if you enjoy what he has to say. That's why we make so
much out of the gospel. That's why it's so important
about preaching the gospel. Look what he said here in Ephesians
1.12. that we should be to the praise
of his glory who first trusted in Christ and that word trust
means hoped in Christ trusted in Christ and now listen to this
in whom ye also trusted now listen to what I'm telling you after
that you heard the word of truth you can't trust him until you
hear the word of truth Now listen to this, and that word of truth
when it becomes the gospel of your salvation. Does the gospel
ever become the gospel of your salvation? Have you ever heard
the gospel ever become the gospel that saved you? The good news
that saved you came to you when you heard the word of truth.
Huh? And whom after that you believed
you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. You hear that
word truth our Lord Jesus said like this my sheep hear my voice. I Know them. Oh, what are they
gonna do? They're gonna fall right in behind
me go follow you All right, let me show you for
another one. Oh listen Romans chapter 1 Romans chapter 1. Oh No wonder Paul said I'm not
ashamed of the gospel What's there to be ashamed about, about
the gospel? For in the gospel is the power
of God. The very power of God, the dynamite
of God unto salvation. It brings such power to a man's
heart and saves him. And oh, look what he said here
in Romans 1. As Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be
an apostle, now listen to it, separated unto the gospel of
God. What was he separated to do? Preach the gospel. Preach Christ and Him crucified.
And look what he said, and this is the ancient gospel which he
had promised to for by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures. This
is what they heard in the Old Testament. Isaiah preached it.
Ezekiel preached it. Moses preached it. All the prophets
preached the gospel. And it was all in the Holy Scripture.
He had promised this Gospel. And then look what he said, "...and
this Gospel concerns His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." That's
what the Gospel's about. It concerns His Son, the Lord
Jesus Christ. Huh? That's what we're talking
about. And you notice how every one of those, Son is capitalized,
Jesus capitalized, Christ capitalized, Lord's capitalized. And he after
the flesh was made of the seed of David according to the flesh.
Why was he made of the seed of David according to the flesh?
He had to have a throne. David was a king. God told David,
He said, I'll raise up a land to sit on your throne forever. And David, and our Lord Jesus
Christ was of the tribe of Judah. And He is the rightful heir to
the throne. And listen to this now. So it's
concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. And declared. Listen to this now. Declared. Who declared Him? The Holy Ghost
did. The Scriptures does. God does.
We do. Declared to be the Son of God
with power. according to the Spirit of holiness. The Spirit of holiness bear witness
to the Lord Jesus Christ by power, by raising Him from the dead. Oh, listen. This Gospel, this
is the long and short of it. I hope I'm not taking too long,
but this is it right here. The Gospel asks this question. How can God be just and justify
sinners? That's the question. God said
in Isaiah 45, 21, Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends
of the earth. And the first thing He says,
I'm a just God. Well, if that's all He had said,
none of us could go. We'd all have to back up. But
He also said in the same statement, a just God and a Savior. How can He be both? In Christ. He could be just. And putting our sins on His Son.
And our Son enduring the justice and wrath of God in our place. And God was just to do that.
And now for the man who comes to Christ and trusts Christ,
God will justify that man and stays just too. That just about makes you want
to holler, doesn't it? It really does. I tell you, the
gospel does something for you that nothing else does in this
world. It's life-giving. It's life-giving. And there's
just three points, you know. Sin, man's sin. But all he needs to substitute,
Christ is that substitute. And then God needs to be satisfied. And only Christ can satisfy God.
and he's satisfied. And let me give you another point.
You know, when people say, well, what do you think about other
people? Well, nobody can be saved with nobody saved who's not born
again. Nobody's not saved who does not believe the Lord Jesus
Christ. Man's not saved who has not heard
the gospel. And a man is not saved who's
ignorant of the righteousness of God. Right? Look in Romans 10. Eternal is
the righteousness of God. Now, I'm going to tell you all
a true story. I forget exactly who it was that
was working at this place. And he was working with a woman
and her husband called himself a preacher's son and a singer
and all that kind of stuff. People, you know, from our congregation,
they was witnessing to these people, you know, witnessing
to them. They started talking about how we became sinners.
Most folks don't know how they become sinners. And if you don't
know how you became a sinner, there's no way in the world you
can know how it is to be saved. And they don't know how they
become sinners. They think you ain't going to become a sinner
until you get 12 years old. And then all you've got to do
is just go, you know, when you get ready, you know, to go to
the front of the church and get out on your knees and pray and
make things right. But they started talking to them
about how we became sinners and what happened in the Garden of
Eden. And they said, I've never heard
such a thing in all my life. Where did you all come up with
that at? Where did you find that at? I've never heard such a thing
in all my life. Well, of course I have. A man
can't tell what he don't know. As Henry used to say, no more
than come back before you ain't been. But I tell you what, if you don't
know what it is to be a sinner, you'll never know what it is
to be saved. You've got to know where sin
comes from. But anyway, nobody is saved who is ignorant of the
righteousness of God. Look in Romans 10 with me. Brethren, my heart's desire and
prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved. I'm going
on record. Right now, he says, they are
very, very zealous for God. They go to the synagogue every
Saturday. They read their Bibles. They have a great zeal. They
stand on the street corners praying. They make broad their phylacteries. They pay tithes of everything
they got. But they have a zeal of God,
but this zeal doesn't have any knowledge to it. What knowledge
don't they have? Well, they're ignorant of what?
God's righteousness. How do you know they're ignorant
of God's righteousness? They're going about to establish their
own righteousness. How do you establish your own
righteousness? To think you can face God in yourself outside
of Christ. That's all it takes. That I can
face God for myself. I think my words will speak for
themselves. I think my sincerity will speak
for itself. I think my prayer life will speak
for itself. I think the way I treat my wife
or my daughters or my children or my husband or my wife, I think
that will be enough to speak for itself. A person who thinks like that
is ignorant, ignorant, ignorant, ignorant of the righteousness
of God. There is but one righteousness,
and that's the righteousness of God. And look what he says,
and they have not submitted themselves, listen to this, unto the righteousness
of God. Beloved, right now, by God's
grace, I'm going to submit to God's righteousness. I'm going
to, in my heart, in my will, in my affections, in all my being,
I'm going to submit to the righteousness of God. What is it? Christ is
the end of the law for righteousness. To who? Everyone that believes. Lord, I believe. I spent years establishing my
own righteousness. Some of you all remembered very
well. You did too. Oh, we worried about, we didn't
have a television. My daughter never wore a dress
until she was a freshman in high school. I mean, never wore a
pair of pants until she was a freshman in high school. Didn't have a
television. And I preached to, if it, if
it, if I was able to move, I preached against it. If it felt good,
I was against it. If it made you happy, I was against
it. If you enjoyed it, it was sin,
that's for sure. You know, that's why people say,
boy, this chocolate cake's so good, it's sinful. No, no chocolate
cake ain't sinful, it's good. But that's what people say, ain't
it? But oh, we now, by God's blessed
grace, taught us, we heard the Gospel, and we found out about
the righteousness of Christ, the only righteousness we have.
And righteousness is God given to us in Christ. It's imputed
to us. We have Christ and His righteousness. And if righteousness come by
the law, then Christ is dead and vain. Oh my! You know, you've got to have
it. And the righteousness we have, you know what it's called?
It's called the righteousness of God. Whatever righteousness
God has, and He calls Himself righteous, Whatever righteousness
we have, that's the righteousness we have. And this is what's so
blessed about it. You've heard me say this so many
times. That when we get to glory, our righteousness will not change
whatsoever. We'll go there. We'll have to
be righteous to go there. Only righteous people go there.
We won't be no more righteous there than we are right here.
We just won't be in this old flesh. All right, let me give you the
last one. What do you think about people who don't believe like
you do? I'm just telling you what, I'm just giving you what
the scriptures say. And I know this, a man who isn't saved who
doesn't continue in the faith. He may go 20 years and quit,
may go 2 years and quit, may go 25 years and quit, but if
he ever quits, If he ever quits, walks away
from Christ, walks away from the gospel. Look in 1 John 2.19.
Look in 1 John 2.19. Oh my! Look what it said here
in 1 John 2.19. This is John talking about now.
He says, they went out from us. Why did they go out from us,
John? But they were not of us. For if they had been of us, the
gospel, the new birth, believing Christ, trusting Christ, they
would no doubt have continued with us. But they went out. that
they might be made manifest, that they were not all of us."
Oh, man, walk away from the Gospel. He's walked away from the only
hope he's got. Hebrews 10. Hebrews 10, verse 38. Oh, my. Our Lord Jesus says this. He said, If you continue in My
Word, if you continue in My Word, then are you my disciples indeed."
Who is those that continue in His Word? Now look what He said here in
Hebrews 10.38. Now the just shall live by faith. That's what we
do. We live by faith. Live by faith,
not by sight. We walk by faith, not by sight.
But if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in
him. But we are not of them who draw
back unto perdition, but of them that believe to the saving of
the soul. Huh? What does he mean that believe
to the saving of the soul? Believes all the way to the end
our soul enters glory. Huh? We're like Simon Peter,
Lord. To whom shall we go? Who are
we going to go to? Would you all agree with everything
I said tonight? Let God be true in every man's life. Say, well,
what do you think about these people? Well, next time somebody
asks you that, give them your five points. Just give them your
five points. Our Father, oh, our Father, in
the blessed, blessed name of Christ our Lord, Thank You for
Your goodness. Oh, Lord, thank You for Your
goodness. God is good to Israel. Thank
You for Your Word. Oh, God, we want our minds, our
wills, and all of our beings subjected to Your Word. We don't
want to be left to ourselves in any way. Don't want to be
left to our wills, our ways, our flesh, We want to be left
to our own understanding. We want our minds and every part
of our being made subject to Your Word, to believe it, to
honor it, to bring glory to You through the preaching of it and
believing of it. And Father, bless the Word to
the hearts and minds of those gathered here tonight. for your
glory, for your glory, for your glory. And they're good. In Christ's
name I pray. Amen. He's the Savior of my soul. Jesus, my He's the Savior of my soul. He's the Savior of my soul. See you Wednesday, God willing.
