subject this morning. Paul says in verse 24, But none of these things
move me, neither can I on my life dear unto myself. I want
to finish my course with joy in the ministry which I have
received of the Lord Jesus to testify of the gospel, or testify
the gospel of the grace of God. Now, Paul is saying farewell
to the brethren at Ephesus. It's been a long time there,
years there. And there's a letter to the Ephesians
from the Apostle Paul. But he was finishing to finish
his course, finish his ministry. And whatever happened to him,
it made no difference to him. Absolutely none whatsoever. Because
he just wanted to testify of the gospel of the grace of God.
And so that's my subject today, the gospel of the grace of God. The gospel of the grace of God.
But Paul felt that wherever God's providence might take him, whatever
his circumstances might be, Whether he was in bonds or bound or whether
he was free. He said, this is my mission.
This is my message to testify of the gospel or testify the
gospel of the grace of God. He said, if he was bound, he
called himself a prisoner. of Jesus Christ. And then if
he was free and wasn't bound, he said he was a bond slave,
a bondman of the Lord Jesus Christ. Free or bound, he had one mission
in life to preach the gospel of the grace of God. And this
is the same mission, same message of those who receive a ministry
from the Lord Jesus Christ. And if we have a ministry, we
received it. God gave it to us. God taught
it to us. We received it from Him. We didn't
go to school to get it. We didn't have to go to seminary
to get this calling. And He called the most unlikely
people, the base, the lowest, people uneducated, people made
no difference to Him. When He called a man, They receive
a ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's not theirs. They
don't talk about their ministry. They talk about the ministry
Christ gave them. They don't talk about their church.
They talk about the church that the Lord Jesus Christ gave them.
It's Christ's church. It's not the Lord's. It's not
the preacher's church. Excuse me as long as time lasts
as long as time lasts on this earth the gospel of God's grace
must be preached must be preached and The reason why because of
the state of the natural heart of man The natural heart of man
is this it's always legalistic he always has something that
he can look to and say I did I did I did and And even us,
as believers, we have a legalistic bent to our nature. We certainly
do. We look at what somebody does
and say, boy, I wouldn't do that. You know, I wouldn't act that
way. No, listen, that's just nothing but legalism. It's like
the Galatians. You know, Paul said, I'm marveled
that you're so removed from the Gospel and that you've turned
And you marvel that you're so soon removed from the grace of
Christ. And I marvel at that. Because then you've received
another gospel which is not another. What is this other gospel they
received? Yes, you believe Christ. Yes, you accept Christ. Yes,
you're saved by Christ. But... But... You've got to do this. You've
got to keep this holy day. You've got to keep that holy
week. You've got to have that fast. You've got to have that
sacrifice. You've got to have that ceremony. But man, that's
just man by nature. And this is why we must preach
the gospel. of the grace of God and must
be preached. Because man wants to work. He
wants to perform for his salvation. And man is full of pride. And
the Gospel according to Isaiah 23.9 says God said the whole
purpose that I have is to stain the pride of man. And Job said
this, and Job, I believe it's 19.9, he says this, he says,
the Lord has stripped me of my glory and taken the crown off
my head. And hey, but one thing will do
that, and that's the gospel of the grace of God. That's the
gospel of the grace of God. Man always, always wants to have
at least just a little bitty part of his own salvation. But now let me show you how grace
is defined in the scriptures. Look over in Ephesians 2. This
is who he's saying farewell to, these Ephesians. And he wrote
a whole letter to them. And he started talking about
their election and their blessings. It's in Christ. But he defines
the gospel over here. He defines grace here in Ephesians
chapter 2. Grace defined by the Bible. Grace
defined by God. Grace defined by the scriptures. And grace is defined here in
Ephesians 2. He says, for by grace are you
saved through faith. Now grace is not of yourselves.
Faith is not of yourselves. What is it? It's the gift of
God. If you receive grace, God gave it to you. If you receive
faith, God gave it to you. And this is why I said it's the
gift of God, not of works. Because if works had anything
to do with it, man would boast about it, brag about it, glory
in it. And that's why he says, God sent
salvations by grace that no flesh should glory in his presence.
And there is, now I'll tell you this, beloved, there is no other
gospel other than the gospel of God's grace. And within 50
years after the death of the last of the apostles, After John
died, 50 years after the last of the apostles died, the gospel
of the grace of God almost ceased to exist and ceased to be preached. But God has never left himself
without a witness and he never will. Elijah said this, he says,
Lord, they dug down your altars, they tore down all your altars,
and I am the only one left. And God said, oh no, no, no Elijah. You may think you're the only
one left, but oh no, I've got 7,000. over there that's not about a
need to bail. And according to the population
at that time, that was a minuscule people. But God is going to have
himself a witness all over this earth at any given time to any
nation, any people, any time the gospel of the grace of God
is going to be preached. It may be one and one kind. Noah
was the only preacher of righteousness in his day. But God had one. And I tell you what, and God
honors his truth, he saves his people, and yea, let God be true,
and every man a liar. Now let me tell you what this
gospel of the grace of God is. First thing about the gospel
is that the gospel, and Paul says, I testify the gospel of
the grace of God. The gospel is a revelation of
the grace of God. Now what do I mean by that? You
know there's different names given by the Holy Spirit to the
gospel. In Romans chapter 1 he says it's
called the gospel of God because God is the author of it. There
would have never been no gospel. No good news had not God been
the author of it. And that's why the gospel always
starts with God. And it's the gospel concerning
His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is the theme of the gospel. He's the reason of the gospel. He's the purpose of the gospel.
And it's called the gospel of peace. How beautiful are the
feet of them upon the mountain that publisheth glad tidings
of peace and bringeth good tidings of peace and joy to men and women. Peace is what the gospel publishes
and peace is what it bestows upon those who hear it. And the
gospel is of the grace of God. And the gospel is the only way
you'll ever understand the grace of God. Now, what do I mean,
beloved? Grace is peculiar to revelation. Would you have ever known anything
about the grace of God had God not revealed it to you through
the gospel? You knew about religion. You
knew about works. You knew about legalism. You
knew about fundamentalism. You knew about altars. You knew
about dress codes. You knew about where to go and
not to go. But you didn't know anything
about grace, and I didn't either, until God in His gospel revealed
grace to us. That's how the grace comes. It
comes through the gospel of the grace of God, revealing grace
to us. Grace is peculiar to God's revelation. Without grace being revealed,
man can never ever conceive of grace. I've talked to people
about the grace of God. And when you talk to them about
it, they'll say, that's just too good to be true. There's
no way God can save us without us having something to do with
it. Our faith has to have something
to do with it. Our repentance has to have something
to do with it. Our goodness or something has
to have something good to do with it. But I know this, that
where the Bible has not gone, and where men have not went to
preach the grace, preach the gospel of grace, grace is absolutely
unknown. Ask your neighbors, ask your
family, ask the folks that you work with,
what do they know about the grace of God? And you tell them what
it is, and they'll say, well, I don't know about that. You
see, grace is absent from every religion on the face of the earth.
Grace was unknown until God made grace known. Grace was unknown
to you, unknown to me, until God made us to know grace. And
when He brought grace to me, I stood in utter astonishment.
I said, that's the opposite of everything I believe. That's
the opposite of everything I've tried to do. That's the opposite
of every move I've ever made in religion. It tore down every
hope and vestige of hope that I ever had when the grace of
God was revealed to me. Oh, you know in India, they don't
know nothing about grace over there. They know to worship cows.
They have temples over there dedicated to feeding rats while
they go hungry. They worship snakes and monkeys,
put red dots on their heads and talk and talk about Reincarnation. Hope they come back better the
next time. No, hope they don't come back
as a bug the next time. And you take Buddhism all this
Buddhist day and Muslims, Muslims, you know they don't know nothing
about the grace of God. Catholicism knows nothing about
the grace of God. Free willism knows nothing about
the grace of God. And even out here in nature,
it doesn't teach us anything about the grace of God. You break
nature's laws with your body, or break nature's laws with gravity
or anything else, and you'll suffer the penalty of it. Well,
what then is grace? What is it? Oh, it's something
blessed. It's joyous. It's good news of
the grace of God. Huh? Look at John 1 with me just
for a little bit here. John's gospel chapter 1. Look
what it says right here in verse 17. Oh, what is grace? What then is this grace? This
gospel of grace and this grace that's revealed? The grace that
the gospel brings a revelation of? Well, look what he said in John
1 17. For the law was given by Moses, but grace
and truth came by Jesus Christ. You see, grace is the very opposite
of law. Somebody asked me one time, said,
well, what? They told me what we believe,
they told me all that they believe and everything, and I said, I
believe just exactly the opposite of what you do. Just exactly
the opposite. And it's the opposite of law.
That's what it is. Law was given by Moses. Grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ. The word gospel itself, it means
good news. It means glad tidings. The law
has no good news in it. There's no good news in the law.
There's no good news in keeping a Sabbath day. There's no good
news in telling people what they must do in order to be saved.
You see, the law manifested what was in man. Sin made them understand
sin is exceeding sinful. Grace manifests what's in God. Love and mercy and power and
pity for creatures like ourselves. The law tells us, tells man what
he must do for God. It tells man this is what you
must do. But grace comes and tells us
what Christ has done for man, for us. The law brought out God
to man and set him in his holiness, set him in his glory, set him
in his righteousness, set him in his strictness, set him in
his justice, and in his wrath. But oh listen, grace reaches
out and brings men to God. They told Moses, he says, Moses
don't let us hear God's voice anymore. Oh, you tell us, you
tell us, you tell us. Oh, the law said do. Grace reaches
out and brings men into God. Law demanded obedience and righteousness
from man. And Lord, it will not settle
for any less. But grace brings righteousness
to man and gives it to him. The law sentenced a living man
to death. Grace brings a dead man to life. And I'll tell you something,
the law never had a missionary, but the gospel is to be preached
to every creature. The law makes known the will
of God, but grace comes and reveals the heart of God. the heart of
God. I tell you what is grace? Grace
is the very opposite of justice. Grace is the very opposite of
justice. Justice knows no favor and knows
no mercy. You break God's law, justice
knows no favor and knows no mercy. Grace is just the opposite of
that. Grace shows favor and grace reveals God's mercy. Justice
requires that everyone should receive his due, but God in his
blessed grace bestows on sinners what they're not entitled to,
pure charity. Grace is something for nothing. Grace is something for nothing. And for people, that's nothing.
I'll just throw that in there. And also the gospel is a revelation
of this wondrous grace of God. It's a revelation of what Christ
has done for sinners. And the gospel is where God reveals
His grace. And if there's no gospel, there
is no grace. You see, our Lord Jesus Christ
He came and satisfied the demands of God's law. That law that must
be obeyed, that law that must be kept, that law that demands
perfection. Our Lord Jesus Christ rendered
obedience and perfection to that holy law. And the gospel tells
us that when Christ did that, And when He died on the cross
and He shed His blood on the cross, that Christ died to put
away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. That His blood and blood
alone washes away sin. That His righteousness and righteousness
alone gives us a standing before God. The Gospel tells us that
Christ did not die for good people who never did anything very bad. but for lost and godless sinners
who never ever did anything good. Huh? He is holy, heartless, separate
from sinners, higher than the heavens. Oh my. And that's what, you know, I
get so sick of hearing this thing and I've seen it the other day
again. Bad things really do happen to good people. There's never
a bad thing ever happened to me since I've been a believer. Not one bad thing's happened
to me since I've been a believer. Can you all say that about yourselves?
Since God saved me by His grace, first of all, I'm not good. God's good. And if I have any
goodness, it's God that works it in. It's both the will and
the do of His good pleasure. So since I'm not good, any bad
thing can't happen to me. Because I'm not good for one
thing, except what Christ produces in me. But it's impossible for
anything bad to happen to me. Because God said all things work
together for good. to them that love God, to them
that are called according to His purpose. Nothing bad has
ever happened. So you see, it ain't God that
listened. That's why Christ didn't die
for good people. that didn't do anything very
bad. That's what people's problems is. They got just a little smidgen
of good left in them. You know why people ain't making
professions? They're just holding on to just a little bit of their
own goodness. Holding on to just a little bit of their own righteousness.
Holding on to just a little bit of, I'm not as bad as that preacher
says I am. And it's not the preacher that
says it, it's what God says. They say, well the preacher said
that. No, it's what God says. God says there's none good. God
said there's none righteous. God said there's none understanding.
God said there's none that sings. That's what God says. And men
want to say that's what the preacher says, but it's what God says.
That's what men are going to have to face. And that's what
God says here about the gospel of the grace of God. That it's
a revelation. If you ever know it, God's got
to make you know it. You can't see it until God makes
you see it. Huh? Is that not right? Not only
is the gospel a revelation of the grace of God, we can't see
it unless He reveals it to you. I remember one fellow telling
me years and years ago, and I was just learning just a little bit
about the grace of God. He told me years and years ago,
he said, you better leave that stuff alone. He said, you go
off a deep end on this business about grace, and you'll become
a hypercapitalist. And I didn't know enough about
grace then to get in out of the rain. But I tell you what, I
knew enough about it that those fellows understood that they
say, well, if you go that direction, man, you're going to make a mess
out of that. But the gospel, not only is a
revelation of the grace of God, but the gospel that Paul preached
here, the gospel of the grace of God, is a proclamation proclaiming
the grace of God. You see, the gospel has two meanings. It means heralding, heralding.
You know what heralding means when they're having a big state
dinner or something. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, the
President of the United States. Somebody stands up and heralds
him. Then some senator comes in. Senator so-and-so and his
wife, you know. Ladies and gentlemen, that's
the pre-emperor of Japan and that kind of stuff. And that's
what heralding means. Well, we are heralding the grace
of God. Proclaiming the grace of God.
And we're proclaiming the grace of God. Heralding the grace of
God. The glorious fact that the grace of God has provided a Savior
for every poor sinner who feels his need and trusts Christ alone. That's what we're proclaiming.
That's what we're heralding out. That Jesus Christ God, for grace,
provided a Savior for every sinner who feels his need and will trust
Christ and Christ alone. And secondly, it's the whole
revelation which God made of Himself in and through the Lord
Jesus Christ, and it includes the whole New Testament. You
see, the Gospel declares that grace is the sinner's only hope. Grace is the sinner's only hope.
If you're not going to be saved by grace, how are you going to
be saved? If grace does all the work, if
grace is not the sinner's only hope, then what is it? You reject
the grace of God, and there's no hope for you. And I tell you, grace is God's
provision for those that are so corrupt that they cannot change
their own natures. The gospel and the grace of God
is a provision for those that are so averse to God they cannot
turn to Him and will not turn to Him. Grace is the provision
for men so blind that they cannot see. Grace is the provision for
men so deaf that they cannot hear Him. Grace is the provision
for men so dead in sins that He must open the graves and bring
them to life. What grace does, beloved, and
we proclaim it is that it reveals man's case is so desperate, so
desperate that without grace There's no help or no hope for
you. You see, the gospel of God's
grace is for sinners. Sinners. Sinners. And God gives it without respect
of persons. He has no respect of persons.
He doesn't regard man's standing, reputation, position, wealth,
Wisdom. Poverty. He saves men without
any respect, without any regard to that person at all. Without
anything being required to give back to Him. You see, grace,
grace is worthy of God Himself. And oh, beloved, I tell you,
grace. Thank God for the grace of God.
And let me tell you this about the Gospel. Oh, it's a revelation
of the grace of God. Oh, I never will forget the first
time I heard it. Oh, my. Really, really, really, really
understood what it meant. And I know you do the same way.
You just, you just, it's like, you know, it's like when you
first see the grace of God and God makes you to see it and understand
it, you get a new Bible. That's the first thing you get.
You get a new Bible. You know, some of you, like Brad,
he's raised in a great church all his life. I wasn't. Some of you all wasn't. But I
know this, that when I saw the grace of God, I got a whole new
Bible. I saw words in there I didn't even know existed. I saw predestination. I saw purpose. I saw election. I saw that Christ only died for
His sheep. I saw that man, the best man,
that man that is altogether best estate was altogether vanity
and that God made men. You couldn't turn your hands
for the difference for any man on the face of this earth. When I seen that
every man is put exactly on the same level, that changed my whole
idea about preaching, Look at it being how to pray for people. Oh, it changed everything about
us. Oh my. Thank God that he has
no respective persons. If he had had respective persons,
he would have passed by me. He could not have possibly done
anything for me. Because I felt so good about
myself until he took off the crown, stripped me of my glory.
And I'll tell you something else. Look over here in Romans 1. The gospel is a proclamation
of the grace of God. That's what we're doing. We're
proclaiming the grace of God. It's a revelation of the grace
of God, but you won't see it and won't know anything about
it until God in His blessed grace reveals it to you. And that's
why we preach the gospel of the grace of God. Because That's
the only hope that a man has, is for us to preach grace to
him, to preach Christ to him, to preach Christ in grace to
him. And the gospel not only is a revelation of the grace
of God, a proclamation of the grace of God as we preach it,
but the gospel is a manifestation of the grace of God. What do
I mean by that? That the gospel is the chosen
instrument God uses to free his people from their sin and to
save his people from their bondage. Look what he said in Romans 1
16. For I'm not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
that believe it. You see, it pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. By his own
will begat he us with what? The word of truth. The gospel,
this preaching the gospel, the proclamation of the gospel, is
the instrument God uses to save his people, to call his people,
to make himself known to his people, to give life to his people,
to regenerate his people, is through the gospel. You see,
the gospel of the grace of God is the power of God to save his
people from error, And oh, what errors we were in. To save His
people from ignorance? Paul said, I don't know how many
times he said, I would have you not to be ignorant. To save them
from the power of darkness? From the power of Satan? To save
them from the power of sin? To save them from the power of
self-will? And free will? And self-righteousness? And all the things that we were
bound by the gospel. It's the power of God that God
uses to regenerate and save men. You know, it's by the power of
the gospel that we're saved from the guilt of sin. Now listen,
man goes around and now people don't feel any guilt. I don't
know if anybody feels any guilt about anything they do anymore.
You know, this world has got like Sodom and Gomorrah. But
I know this, that God's people are saved from the guilt of sin. If you have guilt over sin, it's
because you haven't been saved. Now listen to me. It's been a
long, long time, long, long time since I felt any guilt over sin.
I've been ashamed of things that I've done. I've embarrassed myself
by things that I've done. But I really believe that my
sin was put away once and for all by the sacrifice of Christ.
And I tell you, when you've got a perfect sacrifice, it'll take
your conscience and take your guilt and kill it, just that
dead. And I ain't gonna bring people
under guilt by telling them that they ought not do this and they
ought not do that. I was telling her this morning
about a church, and I've told you all about it, we got excluded
from years and years ago. And I'll tell you what, the whole
subject of Armenian preaching, The philosophy of everything
is to make people feel guilty about something that they're
doing. To make them feel guilty about
how they're living, where they go, and they're not praying enough
or not giving enough. Next thing you know, they got
all these people up here feeling guilty, and they're up here just
squalling and bawling and carrying on. And then they'll get up and
they'll feel, boy, well, my guilt's gone. You know, the Lord's forgiven
me, and everything's alright. You know what that saying is?
That's something you do that takes away your guilt. You know
what takes away our guilt? The blood of Christ takes away
our guilt. The power of the gospel takes
away our guilt. And that's why we keep preaching
the grace of God and the gospel of grace and what Christ did
because there cannot possibly be any guilt where there's not
any sin. And if sin's gone, guilt's gone. And I believe that and I've heard
that preached and I believe it with all my heart. That's why
I don't have any guilt. If I was going to have any guilt,
I'd have guilt when it come time to die. And beloved, I'm not
afraid to leave this world right now with the gospel I've preached
because Christ put sin away once and for all. And He, by the grace
of God, tasted death for every man. And for every man for whom he
tasted death for is who he is by the grace of God. Not every
man, but every man for whom he tasted death for. And not only
are we saved from the guilt of sin, but we're saved from the
power of sin. Sin's not our master. Sin's not
our sovereign. Sin don't rule over us. Sin's
not got all power over us. If it did, none of us would be
sitting here today listening to what we've got to say. We'd
let sin take us somewhere else to do something else and act
some other way. But sin no longer has dominion
over us because we're not under law, but we're under grace. So
we're saved from the gospel is the power of God to save us from
the guilt and power of sin. That's why our old talk lady
said, be of sin the double cure. What double cure? Guilt and power. If sin has power over you, you've
got guilt. If sin doesn't have power over
you, you don't have any guilt. You know who our Master is? The
Lord Jesus Christ is our Master. How do we know what we're supposed
to do in this world? That's why we're preaching the
gospel. And I know this, where people
take evolution, and they say man's getting better, man's getting
better, and evolution is substituted for the new birth, and man's
just getting better, better, better. He goes to church and
he evolves into being a Christian. And they come and you tell you
to cultivate your character. You know, grow up in your character
and we're going to teach you how to live and we're going to
teach you how to disciple and all that stuff. And they cultivate
character instead of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His
blood and His righteousness. where they tell people you know
that you got the power you got the power to do this and you
got the power to do that and you can develop this willpower
to stop this and that and the other and to develop the willpower
from humble dependence upon God and the carnal mind will say
oh that's right that's right born and raised a Christian raised in a Christian country But I tell you, the carnal mind
may say, that's right. I went to church now for four
or five years and if I ain't a Christian now, never will be. Going to church don't make you
a Christian. No, no, no, no. You don't evolve into a new birth. You didn't evolve when the first
time you was born. The people, they used to go to
church and they say, oh my, boy, he's been here a long time, said
he must be a Christian. And oh, beloved, but I tell you
what, all of these things that men are teaching is powerless.
It brings no salvation to the perishing. There's no gospel
in a system of ethics. There's no power in exacting
laws and putting them on men. But I tell you where the power
of God lies. It lies in the gospel of the
grace of God and what Christ accomplished. Grace actually
works. Do you know that? It works. It'll
work. It'll work in a man's heart to
give him a new heart. It'll work in his man's mind
to give him a new mind. It'll work in a man's will to
give him a new will. It'll work in a man and cause
him to be something he never was, to believe things he couldn't
have possibly believed, and act ways he couldn't have possibly
acted, and believe things he couldn't have possibly ever believed
apart from the grace of God. Huh? You see, grace works. Whom Christ died for? Grace. in the gospel goes and makes
them know that. Grace makes salvation effectual. It makes it effectual. Grace
ain't trying to do anything. God ain't trying. He makes salvation
effectual. Grace is all powerful. And all you got to do is look
through the scriptures and see how powerful the grace of God
is. It took a murderer, it took a murderer, a God, a Christ-rejecting,
Christ-hating man, Saul of Tarsus, and it made him into the greatest
apostle and preacher of all time that's ever lived on this earth.
Grace did that, that's how powerful it was, to take a man who hated
Christ, who was a blasphemer and a murderer. And then he says, you know what,
would it please God who separated me from my mother's womb? And
he said, how did he call me? By Grace. And Mary Magdalene, oh my goodness. Here's a woman, and oh, we can't
imagine how mean she was, how awful she was. Seven temples.
What a woman she must have been. And our Lord Jesus Christ took
her and so transformed her by His grace that she followed Him
everywhere He went, sat down at His feet, wept over Him with
her tears, dried them with the hairs of her head. Oh, my. Grace is effectual. The gospel is effectual. Grace,
you know, grace will do its work. And I know men and women can
go to every anonymous meeting they want to go to. But one person you're not anonymous
to, that's God. But man can go to all these anonymous
meetings that there is to try to change their life and turn
over a new leaf. But grace comes and takes men
in bondage and sets them free. Takes men dead in sins and gives
them life. Takes men who have the guilt
