Good morning. I bring a whole
lot of well wishes from a whole lot of people in Kingsport that
said for me to tell everyone here, hello. I was listening to Talia's special
and every time I hear someone who can sing really well sing
a special, I think to myself, man, I wish I could sing. And
then it makes me then go to the thought of one day I will be
able to sing. But then just then I just thought
to myself, The moment that I'll have a perfect voice, it will
never enter into my mind how good my voice is because we'll
be with Him. And that's all we'll care about.
What a great thought that is. Open your Bibles back to the
book of Genesis chapter 6. Genesis chapter 6. This morning, I have a simple
message with a simple topic, a message that everyone in here
who listens when it's over will be able to tell what it was about,
which is saying something, because I remember as a young man, I
would like to say kid, but I remember as a young man talking to my
grandmother on the phone when they would travel and she would
always ask me the question. She would say, you know, do you
guys have a good Sunday? And I'd say, yeah, we had a real
good Sunday. And she goes, well, what was the message about? And I
would just be just frozen on the phone like it'd been 15 minutes
ago. I just left church and I couldn't
remember it. But everybody's going to know. So kids, be ready.
Your parents are going to ask you afterward what this message
was about. But my hope is not simply that
everyone will be able to remember or recite the topic or the title,
but instead, I pray that everyone in here will be able to believe
it, to be made to believe it. So here's what the message is
about. OK, here's the first clue. When they ask you what the message
is about, it's about salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ. Everybody in here from
the youngest person to the oldest has heard that phrase plenty
of times. And for the next few minutes,
I want those words to constantly be going through our mind, no
matter what I'm saying. It's as if If you have a pair
of glasses on, I don't know if everybody remembers, I remember
as a kid getting glasses, plastic glasses that had a film on it,
it would be like red or blue, and when you put them on, everything
you saw on the other side was that color. So if you put those
red tinted glasses on, you went outside, the grass looked red,
and the sky looked red, and if it was green, the same thing.
And in meaning that is I want our tent to be salvation is in
the Lord Jesus Christ. So everything we're talking about,
everything we read, have that in the back of your mind, because
everything in this book leads us, guides us or tells us about
salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ. So if we're going to do that,
we first need to make sure that we all understand this phrase,
salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ. The first thing is we
all need to know who the Lord Jesus Christ is. Quickly, just
to say that all the children have been taught this in their
Sunday school classes. Lord Jesus Christ is the son
of God and he is God. He was made a man, came to this
earth. He lived perfectly. Then he bore
the sins of his people and he died on the cross paying for
them. And then he arose into heaven where he is now and is
sitting there on his throne in glory. So if we know who the
Lord Jesus Christ is, the other word we need to know is salvation. What does that word mean? Now,
this is a word we hear a lot, but for most of the young people
especially, we don't hear this word anywhere but in this building.
We hear the word salvation. So what does it mean? It means
to rescue. We also have heard it translated
in the Bible sometimes as to deliver or to save. Salvation
is to save. Now, that definition isn't too
difficult, but to really understand it, let me go a little further
with that word. Salvation always has to have
an object. Salvation is something that is
done for somebody or to somebody. And the key to understanding
that is that this word tells us that there has to be a person
who needs to be saved. So we need to know there has
to be someone who's saved. And we also understand from this
that this person can't save themselves. By definition, to rescue or to
save someone, that person can't save themselves. Nobody ever
calls to be rescued if they could rescue themselves. So we need
to understand that salvation can only apply to someone who
need needs saving and can't save themselves. OK, so here in Genesis
six is the start of the story of Noah and the Ark, a story
that we all know. And we're going to read through
these chapters. Now, remember, we've got our glasses that are
salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ. It affects everything.
But something else we need to remember is as we read this,
the people or the things in this story apply to us today. All of us can identify with the
people of this day. We're going to read about them
in just a second. So all of us apply to this. This is thousands
of years ago, and it's hard to relate to that. But today is
the same scenario as these people were in. OK, the flood that's
coming is the impending wrath of the Lord Jesus Christ. We're
in the we're in the middle of this story right now. The flood
that came will never happen again, but the wrath of God on sin and
judgment will come at one point. And finally, the arc in this
is the Lord Jesus Christ. OK, so look at chapter six, starting
with verse one. And this is going to be a description
of the people of this time period. And it came to pass when men
began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were
born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men,
that they were fair. And they took them wives of all
which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit
shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh. Yet his days shall be in hundred
and twenty years. There were giants in the earth
in these days. And also after that, when the sons of God came
into the daughters of men and they bear children to them, the
same became mighty men, which were of old men of renown. Now
listen to verse five here. And God saw that the wickedness
of man was great in the earth and that every imagination or
every thought and action of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil continually or every day. Now this is a really rough description
of man. And remember, I said we could
relate ourselves to these people. That's a pretty rough description
of us. Every single thought that goes through our mind is only
evil continuing. So we can ask the question, well,
who's responsible for making such an evil creature? Who would
make someone like that? Turn back to Genesis 1 verse
27. It says there in Genesis 1.27. So God created man in his own
image. In the image of God, created
he him male and female, created he them. So God made man, but
look at us. Now look over at verse 31 of
the same chapter. And God saw everything that he
had made and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day. So wait. So what happened in
between chapter 1 verse 31 that says everything he made was good,
a description of us, and a couple pages over here that says that
the only thing we could ever do is sin and every thought is
evil continually. In the Garden of Eden, man sinned
against God. God told Adam not to eat of one
certain tree. Don't eat the fruit off this
one tree. But Adam ate it and he became a sinner. So by one
man, sin entered the world and after only nine generations from
Adam to Noah, nine generations, it went from perfect perfection
to every imagination of the thought of man's heart was only evil
continually. All of that because one man committed
one sin and If we were trying to name a really kind of tame
sin, it would probably be something along the lines of me walking
down the road and I'm a little hungry and a guy on the side
has a fruit tree and I go over and pull an apple off of it and
start eating. I don't even think I'd consider anything wrong with
that, but that's his apple and I just stole it from him. That
one sin made this whole transition from perfect to absolute sin. So what is God's reaction to
that? Look at chapter 6, verse 6. And it repented the Lord that
he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from
the face of the earth, both man and beast and the creeping thing
and the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made
them. Wow, that's a really strong reaction. The Lord said, I will destroy
man whom I have created from the face of the earth. One sin
and God is going to destroy every man. And it says in here, it
says, and I'll destroy the beasts and the creeping things and the
fowls of the air. What do we learn from these two
verses? First thing we learn is God hates iniquity. God hates sin. In Hebrews, it
says, Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity. And we also
learn that God is just. Then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work
iniquity. We learn that all sin will be
punished. These verses show us that we
need salvation. We need a savior. Has anybody
in here ever heard the phrase that is uttered in religion today
a lot? God loves everybody. Well, let's do something that
I haven't done in a long time, that I learned in school how
to deduce something. What that means is you can take
facts, a couple of facts, and if you put them together, you
can figure something out. So let's think about this. It
says in the scriptures, that God hates iniquity and sin. And then it says in the scripture
that man is only sin and can't do anything but sin. Well, can't
we then just say that God hates man? And if he hates sin and
that's all we are, that's pretty much what that means. So we'll
come back to that thought in a minute. Look at verse eight,
the verse in this story that is so wonderful. But Noah found
grace in the eyes of the Lord. The Lord said that he will destroy
man, all man. He said all man. And then he
gives us a but. Now, this but isn't contradicting
anything that he's already said. Noah still fits into the everybody
that we've read about, OK? This but isn't saying that Noah
deserved something better. Noah was different than everybody.
Noah was included in all these harsh things. But the but tells
us that everybody deserves the wrath of God. Everybody deserves
the punishment of death. But there is somebody in this
example, it says, Noah, there is somebody, OK, that isn't under
the wrath of God instead They're in the grace of God. Everybody
either has salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ or they don't have
salvation. OK, so look at verse 9. These are the generations of
Noah. Noah was a just man and perfect in his generation and
Noah walked with God. So in the first seven verses,
it never says except Noah. Never in there said anything
like that. And it's talking about all men. So how can we call Noah
just and perfect? It says here that all men, every
thought was evil continually. But then we have what appears
to be a contradiction. How can Noah be just and perfect?
Well, let's deduce something else. If it says that the Lord
is just and perfect, And then it tells us that Noah, in this
verse, walked with God, that Noah is in the Lord Jesus Christ. We can then say Noah is just
and perfect. But the only way we can say that
is if Noah is in the Lord Jesus Christ. I saw a T-shirt one Sunday afternoon
at lunch, and I've lived here long enough that it's the same
as it is in Kingsport. If you go to eat lunch after
church on a Sunday in a public place, you're going to run into
a lot of comments and a lot of bumper stickers and a lot of
T-shirts that just make you want to cringe. And this is one of
the worst ones I've ever seen. And it's not so bad because of
what they're trying to say, but it's just the way it's said.
It's four words that say not perfect, just forgiven. And this is something that I
realize is kind of common, that I've seen it a lot more now that
I've paid attention to it. But there's a couple problems
with it. First off, by saying not perfect, you're actually
implying that you think you're really close. Nobody that's really,
really bad would ever say, well, I'm not perfect. No, a person
who thinks they're really close to perfect is the one who says,
well, I'm not perfect. I'm just really good. But the
other part that comes into this is what we've just seen here.
is someone thinking that them not being perfect, they can still
be forgiven. But that's not how it works here.
We've just seen what every man is and we've seen that God hates
iniquity. The only way a man or a woman
can be forgiven is if they're perfect. And as we've seen here
with Noah, it said Noah's just imperfect because he walked with
God. If a man or woman is in the Lord Jesus Christ, that's
how they're perfect. OK, look at verse 11. The earth
also was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence
and God looked upon the earth and behold, it was corrupt for
all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said
to Noah, the end of all flesh has come before me. But the earth
is filled with violence through them. And behold, I will destroy
them with the earth. God was telling Noah, my wrath
is coming. I've had it. I've had enough.
And if we see he still doesn't exclude Noah from this. He still
keeps saying how evil everyone is. But that's where we are today. We're in a place where the wrath
of God is coming. So what do we do? What can we
do? Look at verse 14. Make thee an arc of gopher wood. Room shalt thou make in the arc,
and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this
is the fashion which thou shalt make of it. The length of the
arc shall be 300 cubits, the breadth of it 50 cubits, and
the height of it 30 cubits. In a window shalt thou make to
the arc, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above. In the
door of the arc shalt thou set, and the side thereof, with lower,
second, and third stories, shalt thou make it. God will provide a salvation
for his people. And this is what he's doing here
in the ark. The ark in the story, as I said earlier, is Christ.
Now, the details in these verses have meanings, and I've heard
messages that are wonderful about it, all the different things
about the size and the window and the door and all that. But
for time's sake, I'm going to simply say this. No part of the
ark, no planning, not any of it was left up to Noah. All of
salvation is given, it is shown, it is told. Everything is a gift
from God. And that's the same way with
the ark. Noah didn't have any input or he couldn't make any
changes. Salvation is in the Lord. But let's keep going in
verse 17. And behold, I, even I, do bring
a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh wherein
is the breath of life from under heaven. And everything that is
in the earth shall die. Every single thing that breathes
in air shall die. Everything. Again, Noah does
not have an exclusion here. If Noah is breathing air, when
this flood comes, he's going to die too. Okay, look at verse
18. But with thee will I establish
my covenant, and thou shalt come into the ark. But, we have another
but. Why does Noah get this promise
where it says, but with thee will I establish my covenant?
What's different about Noah? And the thou shalt come into
the ark, that's the difference. God is going to make Noah go
into the ark. We'll later see in a few verses
where he will command him to go into the ark and no one's
going to go into the ark except those who are commanded. That
is why it says, but with thee will I establish my covenant.
because he's going to be in the ark. He's in the Lord Jesus Christ.
But look at the lines again in the order. But with thee will
I establish my covenant and thou shalt come into the ark. The
covenant was made before even the ark was provided. The only
thing in here that would provide salvation is the ark. Yet the
only thing we had with an ark was that God said there's going
to be an ark. The covenant was made before then. The definition
of this word in here, establish, it says, I will establish a covenant. I often think of that word is
I'm going to start something or I'm going to begin it. But
the definition of that word is to rise. And it could be read
in this phrase here with thee, will I rise my covenant or will
I lift up my covenant? Well, I perform my covenant.
Those are all ways it's translated. I will make my covenant good.
I will make my covenant sure. Now, why does it matter that
what this word means? Well, it matters because God's
covenant with each of his children was made before the foundation
of the world. This line here, but with thee
will I establish my covenant is saying I've always had a covenant
with you from the time when time began. But right now, that's
when he's telling Noah, he's opening his eyes. He's saying,
you have a covenant with me. That's where your salvation is
going to be. And that's why he's going in the ark. He's not going
in the ark because he wants to, because he's decided to, or even
because he's heard about the ark. And that's the only way
he can find salvation, because there's plenty of people who've
heard there's no way to salvation except the Lord Jesus Christ.
But that doesn't mean that's what they believe. So If we continue,
I saw a bumper sticker recently that said, Jesus is still saving
life. I think that was in a parking
lot on a Sunday afternoon, too. The Lord Jesus Christ is done
saving life. The work is already finished.
Just because we don't know who's been saved or we're not aware
of things that are going on doesn't mean that it's not already finished.
If the Lord Jesus Christ didn't die for you, then you have no
chance to be saved. It doesn't matter what happens
in the future. The work is finished. And to imply other than this
is just saying that man has something to do or that God needs something
from man. But we all know what? Salvation
is in the Lord Jesus Christ. OK, look at verse 22. Thus did Noah, according to all
that God commanded him, so did he. God commanded these things. Which things? All things. So
every part of this story? No, every part of this book.
But not everything, everything. He's not in control of everything.
No, everything, everything in this book and everything God
is in control of. Now, if we keep going. We can
also say that God commanded him, so did he. Why did Noah start
building this ark? It wasn't because he thought
in his own rationale, you know, I think this is a good plan.
I mean, apart from God commanding him to do it, he wouldn't do
it. So God commanded it. Now look at verse one of chapter
seven. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house
into the ark. For thee have I seen righteousness
before me in this generation of every clean beast thou shalt
take to thee by sevens and male and his female and of beasts
that are not cleaned by two, the male and his female. The
fowls also of the air by sevens and the male of the female to
keep seed alive upon the face of the earth. For yet seven days
and I will cause it to rain upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights
and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from
off the face of the earth. And Noah did according unto all
that the Lord commanded him. And Noah was 600 years old when
the flood of waters came upon the earth. There was a hundred
years between the time God told Noah to build the ark and when
the ark was built and the flood came. In 1 Peter 3, it describes
this hundred year period as the long suffering of God. God didn't
wait a hundred years for the ark to be built. He waited a
hundred years so that Noah could make sure everyone knew what
was coming. Every single person in the earth
in a hundred years had heard Noah's message that floods coming. God's going to kill everybody.
But there's there is salvation in the ark or salvation in the
Lord Jesus Christ. Everyone had heard it, but no
one else came. This is another example that
the only people who will be saved are the ones that God chose and
the ones that he commands to get into the ark. Turn over to
Romans chapter nine with me. Romans chapter 9, verse 18. This passage is to put a stamp
on the fact that God chose and God saved whom he will. Romans
9, 18, therefore, hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy and
whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt save and unto me, why
doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Nay, but, O man, who art thou that thou replyest against God?
Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast
thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over
the clay of the same lump to make one vessel under honor and
another under dishonor? What if God, willing to show
his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering
the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction? and that he might
make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy
which he hath aforeprepared unto glory, even us whom he hath called,
not the Jews only, but also unto the Gentiles." We see here that
they got into the ark before the rain started. There's a whole
message in that with faith. You have to be in the Lord Jesus
Christ before the wrath comes. There's no second chance on this.
And there'll be a lot of people who will be frustrated and think
that they can simply stand before God and apologize or beg or make
excuses all they can. But if you're not in the Lord
Jesus Christ, when the wrath comes, it's too late. Like Noah,
they hear, believe and willingly come to Christ, the ark of safety. By faith, they do enter into
Christ. But that faith is not of themselves.
It's a gift of God. So let's keep going. Verse 10
here in chapter seven. And it came to pass after seven
days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. The wrath that God said was coming
came. The wrath that is predicted in
this book, one day judgment's coming, it will come. We have
no idea when, but it is coming. Look at verse 16. And they that
went in, went in male and female of all flesh as God had commanded
him, and the Lord shut him in. First part of this verse tells
us that Noah didn't make the animals go in, that God commanded
the animals to go in and they went in. Everyone in this boat,
just like everyone in Christ, is who the Lord ordained to be
in salvation, to be in the Lord Jesus Christ. And then the last
part of this verse says, and the Lord shut him in. When someone
is put in Christ, they're shut in Him. For the foundation of
the world, those who were chosen are in Him and they'll always
be in Him. There's no way out. And then
with the ark, this shows us they were in the ark. When the rains
came, there were plenty who thought, if I could just grab onto that
ark, they can hold on, they can get saved. There were others
who might have thought, if I'm just near the ark, I might be
able to get saved. I might be able to do it. Then
some probably thought, you know, if I'm beside the ark, if I can
touch the ark, that's good enough. Maybe if I can just look at the
ark. I've seen the ark before. That's good enough for me to
be saved from the flood. What about knowing about the ark?
Somebody told me about it. Does that count? What about I've
made my own ship and I'm going to sail right next to the ark?
No matter what anyone else did, if they weren't in the ark, they
all perished. Look at verse 17, chapter 7,
17. And the flood was 40 days upon
the earth and the waters increased and bear up the ark and it was
lift up above the earth and the waters prevailed and were increased
greatly upon the earth. And the ark went upon the face
of the water and the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth and
all the high hills that were under the whole heaven were covered
15 cubits upward to the waters prevail and the mountains were
covered. The wrath of God prevailed and
the wrath of God will prevail. It covered the mountains. It
covered the highest hills. It covered everything. There
was nothing left. There was no retreat. There was
no place to go, no place to hide. Salvation is completely in the
Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 21, And all flesh died
that moved upon the earth. both of fowl and of cattle and
a beast and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
and every man. All in whose nostrils was the
breath of life of all that was in dry land died and every living
substance which destroyed was destroyed, which was upon the
face of the ground, both man, cattle and the creeping things
and the fowl of the heaven. And they were destroyed from
the earth. God's justice is absolute. This flood did not have degrees
of punishment or death for everyone. There's not any level that's
different for anyone who's outside the Lord Jesus Christ. If you're
not in the Lord Jesus Christ, it is eternal damnation. So let's
finish verse 23. And Noah only remained alive
and they that were with him. So Noah and all those people
that were with him, his family, the eight of them, They were
the only ones to survive. Now, why did they all survive?
Because they were in the ark. Only those who were in the ark
were the ones who were saved. Back to the phrase I said earlier,
when I said Jesus loves everybody, I think the reason that man really
likes this phrase is because man loves a God that loves man. We love ourselves more than anything
else in the world. So we really find it convenient
to love a God who loves us. That's that's the number one
characteristic most people in the world want. They want a God
that loves them and not in the way that we're talking about,
not in the way of making a covenant with us and showing us who we
are and putting us in the ark. But they want to be who they
are. And they're as good as God. They want to be equal. And that's
what they like. God doesn't love people. God loves his son. Noah wasn't saved because he
was better. He was saved because he was in
Christ. That's the only reason. I look
over a couple more verses here. Look at chapter eight, verse
one. And God remembered Noah and every living thing and all
the cattle that was with him in the ark, and God made a wind
to pass over the earth and the waters assuaged or went away.
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were
stopped and the rain from heaven was restrained and the waters
returned from off the earth continually. And after the end of the hundred
and fifty days, the waters were abated. The wrath of God only
went away when the punishment had been satisfied, when the
punishment was complete, when all sin has been punished, the
wrath of God will go away. And everyone who's not in the
Lord Jesus Christ will face that punishment. Now look at verse
4. And the ark rested in the seventh month on the seventeenth
day of the month upon the mountains of Ararat. The Lord Jesus Christ
didn't rest until the full wrath of God was satisfied when he
was on the cross. He couldn't die until the whole
wrath had been punished. And that's why he died. He bore
the sins of all of his people. And because he satisfied the
whole wrath of God, that's why he arose and ascended into heaven,
into glory. These people in the ark, they
had no idea where they were. As far as orientation on the
earth, the people in the ark had no idea where they were.
They had no knowledge of anything outside the ark. because nothing
outside the ark mattered. If we could only realize when
we're going through this journey that everything that happens
outside the Lord Jesus Christ is irrelevant. It just doesn't
matter. And our only thought should be
about the salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And how can
we act in a manner, behave in a manner and do so that those
around us would understand how wonderful things the Lord has
done for his people. Now look at verse 15 in chapter
8. In verse 15, and God spake unto
Noah saying, Go forth of the ark, thou and thy wife and thy
sons and the son's wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every
living thing that is with thee of all flesh. both of fowl and
of cattle and of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth,
that they may breed abundantly in the earth and be fruitful
and multiply upon the earth. And Noah went forth and his sons
and his wife and his sons' wives with him. Every beast, every
creeping thing, every fowl and whatsoever creepeth upon the
earth after their kinds went forth out of the ark." Everyone and everything that
went into the ark came out of the ark perfectly fine when they
came out. There was nothing in the ark,
whether it be a bird, an animal, a bug, anything that was damaged,
was harmed, anything. Salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ
is 100% complete. It's finished. It's done. And
once you're in the Lord Jesus Christ, everything is perfect.
Now, many people would say that right at this moment when Noah
came off that ship, that Noah's salvation was now complete. But
someone might say, wait a minute, wait a minute. Once the flood
was over, once it stopped raining, that actually was when it was.
Then someone else might say, no, no, no. Actually, it was
just when the water was gone. When the water was all gone,
that's when he was safe. And he had his foot on dry ground,
that would be different. Then others might say, well, when
the boat rested on the mountain, once the boat stopped moving,
that's when he was safe. Then someone else might say,
actually, when the door was shut, that's when he was safe. Or maybe
it was actually when God told him to build the ark. That's
when it was. He found out about salvation. Salvation was complete
when God, before time began, made a covenant with Noah. That's
when he was safe. And though all these moments
might have, in his experience, made him feel like he was more
safe. I'm sure the minute that boat
hit that mountain and stopped moving, he felt a lot better
about it. But our feelings have no relevance on our salvation. I'm sure there were times when
that boat was tossing to and from that everybody in there
was trying to find something to grab on to. Everybody wanted
a railing. Everybody wanted someone bigger
to hold them so they didn't fall down. They didn't twist and all
that stuff. Thankfully, salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's not in our grip of him. It's in his grip on us. As long
as we're in his hand, it doesn't matter what's going on. We may
feel like we're upside down, we're sideways, we're tossing
to and fro, but actually it's just everything else moving.
We're in his hand and we're complete and safe. So in summary of this,
the ark, as the Lord Jesus Christ, was the only way of deliverance. Salvation is in the Lord Jesus
Christ. The ark, was the perfect size, the perfect material, the
perfect being to carry all those that were saved as the Lord Jesus
Christ was the perfect man living perfectly to save his children.
The ark was a safe refuge, able to survive the flood. The Lord
Jesus Christ was the perfect vessel to take on the wrath of
God, to bear it, to completely fulfill it. And the ark, just
like the Lord Jesus Christ, brought all of the people that are inside
safely through the wrath of God, exiting into glory perfect on
the other side. So remember, the Lord Jesus Christ
is all in salvation. Salvation is in the Lord Jesus
Christ. All right.
