Who Then Can?

Q: What does the Bible say about being perfect?

The Bible teaches that true perfection is found only in Christ, who accomplished the work of salvation for sinners. In Matthew 19:21, Jesus tells the young rich man that to be perfect, he must sell all he has and follow Him. This signifies the necessity of abandoning all self-reliance and material possessions to fully embrace Christ. Perfection is not achievable through human effort; it is only given to those who are united with Christ and receive His righteousness. In the context of salvation, believers are considered perfected forever through the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ (Hebrews 10:12). Only in Him can we find true perfection, as He embodies all that is righteous and holy.

Q: How do we know salvation is possible?

Salvation is possible because with God all things are possible, as He alone has the power to save sinners (Matthew 19:26). In the sermon, it's emphasized that while it is impossible for man to save himself, God is able to accomplish what seems impossible. Jesus states in Matthew 19:26, 'With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.' This highlights the sovereignty of God in salvation. Salvation is not a result of human decision or merit, but rather an act of God's grace, drawing sinners to Himself through the preaching of the Gospel. It is through God's irresistible grace that we are enabled to repent and believe in Christ, making salvation attainable for the elect.

Q: Why is faith in Christ important for salvation?

Faith in Christ is essential for salvation because it is the means through which God's electing grace operates. Faith is the instrument by which we receive salvation, according to Ephesians 2:8-9. It's not something we conjure up ourselves; rather, it is a gift from God. The sermon emphasizes that no one can come to Christ without being drawn by the Father (John 6:44). Our faith is a response to the grace that God has already provided through Christ's atoning work. Therefore, understanding faith as a gift helps combat the notion that salvation can be earned or achieved through human effort.

Q: What does it mean to deny oneself and follow Christ?

Denying oneself means abandoning self-reliance and worldly desires to wholly pursue Christ and His will. In Matthew 16:24, Jesus declares that to follow Him, one must deny themselves and take up their cross. This call to discipleship signifies a complete relinquishment of our personal ambitions and possessions that may hinder our relationship with Christ. It means prioritizing Him above everything else, which can be counterintuitive to our natural inclinations. The sermon elaborates that true following of Christ involves a heart transformation, where one's ultimate aim is to glorify God rather than seeking comfort or material gain.

Matthew 19, 21, Jesus said unto him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again, I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Let's pray. Lord, thank you again for this passage of Scripture wherein you show us, as always in all of Scripture, the necessity of one thing. You are, Lord, that one thing. You show how that you are salvation itself and how that a sinner, to be perfect, must be found in you, must be given faith in you and united to you by faith. Thank you for that beautiful gospel. May we never be, may we never stray from that simple truth and be confused or deceived from that, the simplicity that's in you.

We pray for those we love, Lord, that don't know you. We know that you're able to save to the uttermost those that come to God by you. We know why sinners come to you and we ask you for mercy. We know that no man can, apart from your power, So we ask for your saving mercy and faith in yourself for them and desire nothing more. Thank you for all your many blessings and be with us this hour. In Christ's name we ask. Amen.

So we talked about that word perfect that we just read in verse 21. If thou will be perfect, that's what the Lord said from the cross. There's nothing wrong really with the translation, it is finished. But in the original Greek, it's one word and it means perfect. It means it has been perfected, it is finished, it is accomplished, it is done. Not close, not...

And we understand as sinners, that nothing else has ever been perfect. Nothing else done has ever been perfect except what God has done. And we've marred his perfect creation. Sin has entered in and the whole world groaneth and travaileth in pain together. under the weight of our sin, under the depravity and the consequences of our sin, the Lord's gonna do away with this earth and make another one, another perfect one. He's not gonna let us mess it up this time. And we're not gonna be able to mess ourselves up this time. Because our righteousness won't be our own, it'll be His. It'll be his infallible righteousness. It'll be his eternal, infinite righteousness.

And so it's important to understand that, that that word perfect, the magnitude of that is that that's all that ever was perfect or ever will be. As it pertains to us as sinners, he told this man, you can be perfect. There's a way to be perfect. And that perfection exists, resides, and is given in a person. Get rid of everything else in such a way that all you have is me, and you'll be perfect.

If we're found in this one, we read in John 19, where the Savior cried that same word from the cross, perfect. And we know that he's talking about his work, his righteousness performed as us on this Earth. He lived for 33 years, Samad, to be perfect as a man, the last Adam, the representative of his people, who he will and shall and does and one day, once for all, will perfect. And so that same word, He spoke it from the cross. He's speaking of the work that the Father had sent him to do. No question about that. It's perfect. I've accomplished it. I've kept it. I've honored the law perfectly. In thought, word, and deed.

Something we can't even imagine. We have no concept of that except in Him. You don't have to look to Him to have any concept of that at all. There's no comparison that you could look at that would do anything but make it more difficult to understand it.

You've got to look to the Savior, and with some spiritual understanding given by Him, behold Him in His perfection. So that work that he did, the work of righteousness, the work of redemption, the offering that he gave, that he made on the sacrifice that he performed on Calvary, perfect.

He's talking about that. The satisfaction of God's justice was accomplished perfectly. The redemption of my soul, perfect, completely paid my sin debt. And that's a completed perfect work, but he was also talking about me and you, if you're his. Perfect. They're perfect.

How do you know that, Chris? How do you know what he was thinking? Hebrews 10, 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool, for by one offering he hath, same word, perfected forever them that are sanctified by that one offering. How do I know what was in his mind and heart on that cross?

Because he wrote it down. and told us, he hath perfected. So we're included in that. His work of redemption, perfect. His righteousness as a man, perfect. But those for whom he died, perfected. Same word, perfected forever. So he asked this man, will you be perfect? If you want to be perfect, here's how that happens, one way.

What do we have? Before we move on in this text, let's ask ourselves, what do we have or perceive ourselves to have that would keep us from the Son of God? This man had great possessions. We see this all through the scripture. The Lord said, if any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross. We know what crosses are for. They just have one purpose. They're not for hanging around your neck as jewelry. They have one purpose, to kill, to die the most horrible way that a man has ever imagined to kill somebody. Take up your cross and follow me. That's what he's telling this man. Deny yourself. Deny yourself the pleasure and the prestige of all of your possessions. Deny yourself everything that matters to you, except me, and come follow me. We're going to have to do that. It doesn't mean you've got to go sell your home and live on the street. If we did that, we'd be proud of our box. We'd say, I've got a better box than anybody on Skid Row.

That's not going to do it. That's not the answer. The answer has to do with Him, not the stuff. It has to do with abandoning our soul's grip, our soul's desire, our soul's love for stuff, for money, for what it can do for me. It's about yourself. Deny yourself. Reject yourself. But that is only true in regards to Him. It's not about just denying yourself.

There's the follow me part too. It's not just whipping yourself and making yourself, causing yourself pain and saying, oh, I pleased God today. No, if that's why you're doing it, you're not following him. You're not imitating him. You're not trusting him. You're not looking to him by faith, by God given faith. What would keep us from him?

Whatever it is, is your God. You're going to serve one or the other. You're going to serve God, or you're going to serve yourself in the form of things, stuff, money, possessions, whatever you want to call it. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it. You know, religion is all about, Lord wants to prove your life.

He wants to, what did we just hear? We heard something, a song that was saying, Lord, don't take the stuff you give. Don't take these beautiful things. And I said, all they care about is things. They're praying to God in the song, saying, don't take my stuff.

That's what we're talking about. Whosoever will save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's sake." There's no virtue in being poor. It's not about that. That's why I say don't go home and sell your house and everything you've got and just live hand to mouth. That's not what it's about. It's about loving somebody so much that everything else It's just extra. And it doesn't add anything to the thing of value.

It's part of living in Christ and living for Christ. Stuff is given. You look at all the reasons in the Scripture. Work and obtain that you may be able to give. We just saw that the other night. that you might be able to be a blessing to somebody else.

But whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospels, not just being poor, there's no virtue in that, but if it comes down to what, who matters, you or him, you can't serve both. The same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

If you become the first, what's the next thing after a trillionaire? I don't even know. But you could become the first one of those 1,000 trillions. What good is that if you don't know Christ? of what use is that? Or what shall a man give? Another question regarding the same situation. What shall a man give in exchange for his soul? If you were a thousand trillionaire, whatever that is, would you give it up for Christ? Is it worth more? Would you go away sorrowful and leave? everything for your stuff?

That's the question right there. And the answer is yes, unless God has mercy on your soul and by his grace gives you eyes of faith to see who he is, a heart of faith to fall in love with him. And in every way saves you from your sins. and causing you to see that He is, that's salvation. So let's read the next part in verse 23.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again, I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

I've told you this before, but it's kind of, it's comical and sad at the same time. I heard a preacher say one time that there was a, you know how there's naturally formed archways. sometimes. And there was one that was in the middle of a big thoroughfare in the area of the Middle East there, where the disciples were. And you had, for some reason, some idiot built the road right through that. And it was real hard to get your camels through that. It was real narrow. And I was sitting there thinking, the Son of God just said, it is impossible.

He's not saying it's difficult. He's not saying be careful. He's not saying, you know, you're gonna have to struggle. He's talking about a needle. Whatever passed for a needle and thread then, a needle going, a camel going through the eye of that needle in order to illustrate what he had just said, it is impossible.

You can't make a decision for Jesus. You've already made your decision a long time ago. And another decision is not going to be any better than that one. When God saves you, then you'll make all kinds of good decisions, like coming to worship God. I still think that we think of going to church, or whatever you want to call it. Call it whatever you want to, it doesn't bother me.

I think we still think it's about hearing a sermon. It is about hearing the gospel. It's about hearing about Christ, but it's a matter of, it's a question of honor. We gather together to honor Him. We gather together because He's worthy of it. Is that clear?

And we don't, Second guest people, we stay out of people's business. But all of us know when there's a good reason and when there's not a good reason. And it seems like at times when it's most important to come before God where he's promised to be in his presence. Seems like the easiest time to not do that. It's impossible.

Our Lord plainly states that here. And religion will find every possible way imaginable. They'll talk about archways and camels, that it was difficult to get through the eye of the needle. They called it the eye of the needle, you know, that archway, of course. I've never heard of it any other time except when that preacher said it. They'll stop at nothing. to get the glory, to prove that it's up to them and not God.

It's humiliating to the flesh. It's not only humiliating, but it's killing to the flesh. It's taking up a cross to the flesh to acknowledge that there is nothing that we can do to be saved, nothing. We've got to come to that place. You've got to come to that place. And it seems ridiculous, I understand, to a religious man that God would command a sinner to do something that he can't do. But that's what salvation is. That's how it's illustrated in every type and picture.

Stretch forth thy hand. The one thing that's impossible for that man to do A lot of other things were possible. Even as a man that was deformed, he could have done some amazing things, but he ain't stretching that hand out. So what did the Lord tell him to do? Stretch it out.

Lazarus, come forth. You think it's ridiculous that God would demand, command a sinner to do that, which he can't do? Read the Bible. Let's read the Bible. Let's study it together and find out what salvation is. Find out that it is impossible for us to do anything about our sin condition before God. That's what faith is. It looks away from self. It comes to the end of self and looks to the Savior. It's the men bitten with fiery serpents and there's no cure. They've tried all the... Grandma said put this, you know, poultice on it or something and bound it up. People still were dying. Didn't do any good.

God said look and live. That simple. One thing is needed. Look. Look to the serpent of brass, and the Lord Jesus Christ said, as that serpent of brass was lifted up on a pole, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. Look to Christ and live. Simple. Naming the leper. It was too simple. It wasn't elaborate enough. It didn't involve him enough. It didn't give him any reason to glory. And so he rejected it. and stayed a leper until his servant told him, called him out on it and said, if he'd have given you some great thing to do, you'd have done it.

Come to me. Come to me and live. All you that labor and are heavy laden, I'll give you rest. Are you hungry? Come to me. I'll give you that bread. of which a man shall eat and never hunger again." No man can come except the Father draw him, but the Father does draw sinners to Himself by the preaching of the Gospel.

That's what we just read. For Christ's sake and the Gospel's sake, because of the Gospel preached, He didn't say it's impossible to be saved. He said, with men it's impossible to be saved. Every miracle our Lord did. Lazarus is not coming forth. With Lazarus it's impossible, but God spoke. The one who said, let there be light, and there was light, spoke. And what he commanded, it's done. It was done. Rise, take up your bed and walk. And the one thing characterizing that man is he was lame. He's a lame man. The one thing that characterizes us is our sin before God. Sinner. Sinner.

Who can do anything about that? You think you're going to decide your way out of that? Can the Ethiopian change his skin? The Lord answered his question flat out eventually, didn't it? This man was already gone. He'd already bowed out before he ever heard the simple answer. What good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? With men, it's impossible. Nothing. Nothing. Eternal life is not had that way.

Eternal life is in Christ and in Christ alone. He is the door. He made that so simple, too, didn't he? I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, you have everlasting life. But the Lord did answer the question. He just didn't say those words to him. He showed him, though. He showed him. He called him out for the hypocrite that he was. You want eternal life?

Here's how that happens. Don't want it that bad. Not that bad. He forced this young man to live the fact, to live it, to act out the fact that he could not be saved if left to himself. That's the gospel we've got to preach, not the one religion's talking about. where you just have to decide something or make a move, or bearish yourself, or whatever. As the Lord showed us that, after all these years, I think about that verse often where the Lord said, have I been so long with you and you still don't know me? So long.

Do we understand that if salvation was an exercise of your free will, then it wouldn't be impossible. You could just exercise your will. because you don't have a free will. You can't exercise anything but sin. And that's why we need the Savior. And what a vital matter this is, it's life and death.

When the disciples were asked, will you leave? Will you go away? They knew, they knew. By the grace of God, they understood the issue, to whom? They didn't say, where would we go? They said, to whom would we go? Who else? Who else is our salvation? Who else has the words of eternal life? Salvation was a who, and they weren't leaving that who. They weren't going away, because the Lord had simply revealed to them who he was. God in all of his glory was shown from his face and he shined the light in their hearts to give the light of the knowledge of that glory in his face.

And there's a lot I could say about this. The reason I'm pausing is there's so much to say about this, but I want to be concise. And what the Lord put on display here is what he does with every sinner he saves. He completely shut this man up to himself. It was about who's who, who's good and who's not.

And then it was about What can I do? Can I do? Doing, not doing, whatever. Living up to the law, confrontation with the law. But in the end, it was about what? Me. Follow me. Abandon every other desire and joy and everything of value to you and come and have just me. And nothing but me.

That's where the law points you. That's where the gospel points you. That's where Christ points you. That's where other sinners point you. Those who have come, what do they say? Come. Those who are thirsty, come. Those who have drunk, come, say come. Let the spirit and the bride say come. Let him that's thirsty come.

And God will freely and graciously do something for us. When he saves a sinner, he'll do something for us that we can't do for ourselves. It wouldn't be called mercy. Somebody, I was talking to somebody very precious to me recently, and someone I would love to to see the Lord really bless them and have mercy on them. And he said, I don't deserve the mercy of God. I don't deserve it. I need his mercy, but I don't deserve it. I said, if you deserved it, it wouldn't be mercy. He was shocked to hear that. I don't think he's ever heard that before. We need to be shocked. We need to understand what mercy is.

It's God giving himself in your place. It's God doing for you what you can't do for yourselves. It's God not giving you what you deserve in your sinfulness. It's God not pouring out his wrath upon you, but rather having poured his wrath out upon his only begotten son as your substitute on the cross. And If it's true, and it is, that salvation is not you doing anything, not one good thing, not all the good things.

If it's not anything about what you've done, what you are, or what you have, but is, as we've already seen in all the scripture that we've quoted, including our text, God freely and graciously doing something for you, then who gets all the glory? You can judge everything spoken from a pulpit anywhere by that same rule. Who gets the glory? If a preacher tells you God has exhausted his ability and now it's up to you, who gets the glory out of that? God can't do anything more. His hands are tied. He's waiting on you now. Who gets the glory out of that?

This is why Paul said what he did, the way he did in Ephesians 2.8, for by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. The way that God's grace is bestowed upon you is he gives you faith in his Son. That's not of yourselves, you have nothing to do with that, it is the gift of God. not of works, lest any man should boast." And we absolutely would. Even we who know better still boast.

This is why he said in 2 Thessalonians 2.13, but we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord. We're bound to thank God and not congratulate you. were bound to bless God and not brag on you. Why?

Because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the spirit and belief of the truth. Belief of the truth, that's faith in Christ, is the means through which God's electing grace is bestowed upon you. You see that? He, from the beginning, chose you, sanctified you, and in time, through belief of the truth, that was part of the difference that he made in choosing you.

In the context of his electing grace is where faith resides. It's the glory of God. When Moses begged God to show him his glory, he said, I'll have mercy. There it is. There it is. I'll have mercy. You think about that. He said, I can't show you my face. It'd kill you. It'd kill you. But I can tell you this, I'm gonna have mercy on sinners. On whoever I want to have mercy on.

That's why we're able to say in response to that, God's greatest glory that can be seen on this earth is Christ crucified. He has chosen to reveal in no greater way his very glory. You remember in Romans 9 where it says that what if God willing to show the ridges of His glory. Mercy on the vessels of mercy. That's the ridges of His glory. That's why we preach this, because God, our whole purpose in this world is to glorify God.

Not to do stuff for Him. He doesn't need anything from you. We're to glorify Him. We're to acknowledge what He's done, not do stuff. That doesn't mean we don't serve, that we don't, and I'm not gonna stop you from doing that if you know Him. I'm not gonna discourage you from that if you know Him. By saying that God doesn't need you. Yes, do what you can. Yes, be a witness for Him. Yes, work in the ministry. There's a lot to it, isn't there? There's a lot to the ministry.

If God gets glory, it wouldn't be happening. This wouldn't be happening. The man went away sorrowful. He could not follow Christ because he had great possessions. And the Lord Jesus told his disciples that the reason that that young man did that is because it's impossible for a sinner to choose Christ over themselves. You're never going to be able to do it. Peter in verse 27, look, it says, Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all and followed you.

What shall we have therefore? That's me, isn't it? That's just me. What that man did, he went away sorrowful. We've done it. He couldn't do it. What he couldn't do, we have done that. We forsook everything. I couldn't tell you who owns my boat now or my nets or anything that I had. And we followed you.

The Lord just said it's impossible. No, he didn't. He said with men it's impossible. The Lord didn't rebuke Peter for saying that. He didn't say you haven't done that. He had done that. But the Lord acknowledged rather, rather than rebuke him, he acknowledged that that's exactly what they had done, Peter and the others, they had done the impossible. How'd they do that?

With God, by the power of God, by the drawing power of Christ, by the grace and faith given by the Lord Jesus Christ. What was the difference between this rich young ruler and Simon Peter? If Simon was able to do exactly what that man could not do, what was the difference? Matthew chapter 16, turn there with me.

Verse 13, When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? And they said, Some say thou art John the Baptist, some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, but whom say ye that I am? The Lord deliberately makes a distinction. Who do they say and who do you say? What's the difference between their wrong answers and the answer you're about to give?

John the Baptist, Elias, it was because of the miracles, don't you imagine? They all knew the stories of Elijah and how that he was able to turn the meal and the oil into just a never-ending supply, a bountiful supply, and how that the Lord enabled him to raise the dead and things like that.

John the Baptist, he did no miracle. But he was a powerful speaker and he made an impression. The Lord said, there ain't been a greater man than John the Baptist. And so I suspect that was that. It was men that were renowned for speaking the word of God or doing miracles. Jeremiah, one of the prophets. But he said, whom do you say that I am? Here's the difference. Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Why did they leave everything and follow him? Why were they able to do what that man couldn't? Because they knew who he was. They knew who he was. By his grace, they knew who he was.

And Jesus told him why, right here. Jesus, verse 17, answered and said, and said unto him, blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, not smarter, not more spiritual, blessed of God are you. For flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father, which is in heaven. For this rich young ruler to have obeyed the Lord, and sold everything that he had and followed Christ, he would have had to know who he was.

If he knew who he was, if he knew that this is the God-man who had given him everything he had, and in him dwelled all the fullness of the Godhead, and that the boundless, bottomless riches of God were embodied in the Son of God, every blessing that God can give to a sinner was standing there before him.

If he had any idea about that, he would have given up everything just like Simon had. That was the difference. But how did Simon do that? Because he was more perceptive? Oh boy, I figured it out. He couldn't do that except, There were people that never bowed to the Savior that said nobody could do that but God. They didn't figure it out. The Father appealed to Him, His Son. That's what the Lord Jesus said. We've left all and followed you. How could He do that? He knew who He was. How could they say, we're not going, to whom shall we go? There's nobody else. It's about a who, and you're him.

For that rich young ruler to have obeyed the Lord and left all he had and come and follow Christ, the Lord Jesus would have had to be worth more to him than all of his possessions. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls, who when he had found one pearl of great price, when it sold all, what did the Lord tell him to do? Go sell everything you have. Come follow me. The kingdom of heaven is populated with people who found him, who is altogether lovely, and have sold all they had.

Bought it, bought it, committed to it. Paid whatever was necessary. Abandoned whatever was necessary. How did Simon find that pearl? With men it's impossible, but with God, by faith. Moses gave up all the treasures of Egypt for the reproach of Christ, how did he do that? By faith, knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. Now we don't go around telling sinners you can't be saved. You know that, that's not our message, you can't be saved. Our message is what the Lord said, with men it's impossible. There's nothing you can do.

Abandon your doing and look to Christ. Look to Christ. And don't ever think your faith distinguishes you from other people. God, by faith, distinguishes you from other people. The gospel command is repent and believe, just like Christ's command was Lazarus come forth. Rise and take up your bed and walk. When we issue that command through the preaching of the gospel, we know that sinners are not able to obey it. But that doesn't mean we despair of it because we know that God is able to cause them to obey it and come to Christ by faith given by the Lord Jesus.

God gives grace and power to do the impossible. And he's illustrated that in all of the miracles and types and pictures in his book. When the disciples asked the question, who then can be saved? He didn't just say it's impossible, remember that. He said, with men it's impossible.

We're shut up to Christ. We're shut up to Him. The one that we crucified, remember the salmon and the disciples, what they said to the Jews in the synagogue, you killed the Prince of Life. And that's the one, the one you murdered. You're gonna have to go and bow at his feet.

There's none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. And I've only got about nine more pages, but I think we've gone long enough. This is a rich passage of scripture. This is the Lord teaching us the gospel. With men, it's impossible. We need to understand that. We need to be confronted with the law. We need to understand that what God commands, we are unable to perform. and see the one way to be perfect, the one thing that we lack faith in, love for, a lot of ways you could say it, but it's one thing, Christ, Christ.

And so that's what we do. We point sinners to Christ by His grace. And I pray that every time we do so, more and more with His power, and more and more dependent upon him and not the arm of the flesh, more and more desiring his glory in it. And with a deeper and richer love for the Savior and for sinners, that they might come to know the Lord Jesus.
