Let's open our Bibles this morning
to Exodus chapter 10. My text will be verse 26. Exodus
10, verse 26. The title of my message, Not
a Hoof Left Behind. Exodus 10, 26, Not a Hoof Left
Behind. Moses, God's servant, said to
Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, our cattle also shall go with us. There shall not an hoof be left
behind, for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God, and
we know not with what we must serve the Lord until we come
thither. Not a hoof. left behind. Back in 1969, Pam Woods' brother,
Ron Rumberg, was pastor of the New Covenant Baptist Church in
Mount Airy, North Carolina. He and I had just gotten to know
one another. I preached for him a good bit.
He had a Sovereign Grace Bible Conference and asked me, and
I was a 19-year-old boy, to come up there and preach on the subject
particular and effectual redemption or limited atonement. And I was
delighted to do so. My doctrine hasn't changed at
all. Not at all. I believe and preach
without apology the blessed soul-cheering gospel doctrine commonly called
limited atonement. That is to say, I believe And
I preach that every sinner for whom Jesus Christ died at Calvary
must and shall be saved by the merit and power of his blood,
that not one for whom he died can possibly perish under the
wrath of God. Concerning this foundation truth
of Holy Scripture, there can be no compromise. We support
no missionaries, no pastors, no churches, no preachers, no
causes, where this gospel doctrine is not only accepted, but plainly
and clearly declared. Not just inquire, well, do you
believe that? Well, yes, I sort of do. No,
if men don't preach it, Bobby, we don't support them. If the
churches don't preach it, we don't assist them. If the missionaries
don't preach it, we don't help them. God's servants, all of
God's servants, proclaim this gospel doctrine of particular
and effectual redemption. Deny limited atonement. Deny this declaration of the
gospel. And you deny the whole gospel
itself. Tell sinners that some for whom
Jesus died will, after all, suffer the wrath of God in hell, and
you deny the gospel of the grace of God. All for whom Christ shed
his blood at Calvary shall be saved by his almighty grace,
or none shall be saved by him. Either he accomplished what he
intended to accomplish when he died, or he's a farce. He's a
joke. He's not God, and he's not our
Savior. Either he's an almighty, omnipotent,
effectual Savior, or he's no Savior at all. There's no in
between ground. I want you to see this glorious
efficacy of Christ's atonement and the glorious efficacy of
that salvation which he performs as it is set before us here in
the 10th chapter of Exodus. The Lord our God said to Pharaoh
in Exodus chapter 9 verse 16, in very deed for this cause have
I raised thee up for to show in thee my power and that my
name might be declared throughout all the earth. God said to Pharaoh,
the only reason I created you, the only reason I set you on
the throne in Egypt was to harden your heart so that I might perform
my wonders in the land of Ham and bring my people out of Egypt
with your carcass laying in the Red Sea. That's what God said
to Pharaoh. Oh, I don't like that. Take it
up with God Take it up with God. That's what God said to Pharaoh
or God said The Lord God told Moses you go to Pharaoh and telling
the Lord Jehovah I am that I am said let my people go and he
said I know Before you go in there. He won't let you go for
I will harden Pharaoh's heart I will harden Pharaoh's heart. And Moses went in and told Pharaoh
what the Lord had told him, and Pharaoh said, who's the Lord?
I don't know him, and I won't obey his voice. And I can imagine Moses might
have been a little bit like your pastor and said to himself, well,
we'll see. We'll see. And before it was
done, God performed all his wonders in the land of Ham. And he had
raised up Pharaoh so that he might perform these wonders by
which he showed himself God in the saving of his people. Oh, my soul, learn this. God Almighty in all things is
performing his wonders in the land of Ham. that all men may
know that he is God and he is God alone and that they will
know it at last in the salvation of his people accomplished by
all the wonders of his providence. The Lord our God told Pharaoh,
I raised you up for this purpose. He was determined in mercy and
in grace to deliver Israel out of Egypt from the bondage of
Egypt and the tyranny of Pharaoh. And both the time of their bondage
and the time of their deliverance were appointed by God in a covenant
made with Abraham before any of these folks were born. Now
you know, I hope you know, all these things were done by divine
arrangement, by God's purpose to be pictures, a type, a representation
to us of God's great work of grace and redemption in Christ
Jesus the Lord. And before I come to my text,
let me call your attention to four things. These are very,
very important. Number one. Number one. Though God ordained Israel's
bondage in the land of Egypt, God did not force Israel to go
down to Egypt. God ordained their bondage. He
stated it plainly back in Genesis chapter 15. But God didn't force
them to go down to Egypt. Jacob and his sons went down
to Egypt willingly. freely, voluntarily, without
any constraint, but this, Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt. That's all. And Jacob said, let's
go down to Egypt. Jacob saw the corn in Egypt.
He needed the corn. He wanted the corn. So he willingly,
voluntarily, of his own accord, by his own will, went down to
Egypt and did exactly what God ordained he would do before Jacob
was ever born. Well, if God ordained it, God
forced him to go. Jacob said, let's go to Egypt. Jacob said, let's go to Egypt.
Even so, God ordained the fall of our father Adam. God ordained
the fall of our father Adam. I can't imagine it, but most
people who pretend to believe this book, most people who pretend
to believe it, really think there are things that take God by surprise.
They really think things happen in this world. Oh, God says,
how did that happen? I just can't imagine. Oh, what
a shocking thing. What shock. What shock that is. He who is God orders the end
from the beginning. He orders everything, and if
he doesn't order everything, he doesn't order anything. There's
no in between ground. He ordained the fall of our father
Adam. And yet, God didn't force Adam
to sin. Adam, with full awareness of
what he was doing, willingly, freely, voluntarily took the
fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because his
wife gave it to him. But God tells us plainly, Adam
wasn't deceived. He went into this thing with
his eyes wide open. Eve was deceived. And rather
than be separated from his wife, Eve, rather than have strife
with his wife, Adam shows strife with God and separation from
God. Number two, long before Israel
went down in Egypt, long before Israel went down in Egypt, long before Israel went down
to Egypt, God provided a savior by whom he would bring Israel
out of Egypt. This took place before there
was ever any hunger in the land of Canaan. This took place before
the time of famine came. This took place long before Jacob
said, there's corn in Egypt. Long before there was anyone
of Israel in the land of Egypt, God provided a savior in Egypt
for his people to bring them out of Egypt. When Joseph was
a young man, his brothers hated him. In their jealousy, they
sold him to a caravan of Ishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver. And
Joseph himself tells us in Genesis chapter 50, Genesis chapter 50
verse 19, Joseph himself tells us as he spoke to his brothers,
I am in the place of God. I am in the place of God. Those scoundrels who hated him,
who sold him as a slave, his own flesh and blood, his brother
standing in front of him. If I had been Joseph, those fellows
would have had a reason to be afraid of me. I'm not as gracious
as Joseph. I want to be, but I'm not. But
Joseph understood. And he said, I'm in the place
of God. As for you, Ye thought evil against
me, but God meant it unto good to bring to pass, as it is this
day, to save much people alive. You know who Joseph represents.
He's a beautiful type and picture of our Savior, the Lord Jesus
Christ. who was sold into the hands of Jewish priests by his
own familiar friend for 30 pieces of silver. And just as Joseph
was provided as a savior for Israel long before Israel came
into Egypt and into bondage, the Lord Jesus was provided as
our savior, our redeemer by the triune Jehovah long before we
needed him as our savior and our redeemer. He is the lamb
slain from the foundation of the world. Before we sinned against
God, we were forgiven in Christ. Before we went astray in our
father Adam, we were gathered together in Christ Jesus the
Lord. Before we needed to be justified,
we were justified. Before we needed redemption,
we were redeemed. Christ Jesus is the lamb slain
from the foundation of the world. And the scripture declares that
before ever we were cursed by God's law, we were accepted in
the beloved. This was done before the world
began. All that our souls came to need
in time, God provided for us in Christ before the world was. All that we came to need in time,
God gave to us in Christ before we ever knew we needed it. The
works were finished from the foundation of the world. Number
three, look at Exodus chapter 12. At the time appointed, God graciously
brought all the children of Israel out of Egypt, Exodus 12.40. Now
the sojourning of the children of Israel who dwelt in Egypt
was 430 years. Oh, there's a discrepancy. Oh,
you can throw the Bible away because God said back in Genesis
they'd be down there in affliction in the land of affliction for
400 years. And here the same fellow who wrote Genesis must
have forgot what he wrote and he said 430 years. No. I believe I'd hang on to my Bible
for another day or two. They were in affliction for 400
years. They had 30 years of blessedness
in that land. But at the appointed time, at
exactly the day ordained of God, he brought them out. And it came
to pass at the end of 430 years, even the self-same day, not a
day early, not a day late, it came to pass that all the host
of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. All who were chosen
by God were brought out by God, brought out by a lamb. All who
were chosen had a lamb. And all who had a lamb were redeemed
from judgment. And all who were redeemed by
the blood of the lamb were brought by the power of God across the
Red Sea on the night when God passed through the land of Egypt
and brought his people out. All this was God's work. God's work. Moses comes to the
Red Sea. The blood's been shed. The Passover
lamb's been eaten. Every one of those who had their
doorpost marked with the blood, everyone who had eaten the Paschal
lamb now has come out of Egypt, staff in his hand. They spoiled
the Egyptians. And Pharaoh and his armies are
breathing down their necks. And the children of Israel murmuring
and crying, oh, what are we going to do? And Moses said, stand
still and watch God work. Stand still and see the salvation
of the Lord. That's exactly what we do. That's exactly what we do. Sinners
are saved not by us doing, but by us watching God do. Salvation is God's work and God's
work alone. In precisely the same manner,
all of God's elect are delivered at the appointed time of mercy
from the bondage of sin and the curse of the law. In due time,
Christ died for the ungodly, at exactly the time God ordained.
When the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son,
made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were
under the law. And because you are sons, not
in order to make you sons, We were the sons of God long time
before we knew it. We were the sons of God from
eternity. He adopted us as his own before the world began. And
because you're sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his
son into your hearts crying, Abba Father. And he does it at
exactly the appointed time of mercy, love, and grace. All right,
here's the fourth thing. God appointed the time of Israel's
bondage and the time of Israel's deliverance, and God accomplished
it. God accomplished Israel's salvation. God brought them out of Egypt. Turn over to Romans chapter 9.
Romans the 9th chapter. Listen to this. David said, nevertheless,
he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his
mighty power known. And this is what it says in Romans
9, verse 15. Romans 9, 15. I'd sure like to
hear some of the preachers in town read and expound Romans
chapter 9, wouldn't you? I'll tell you what, if you find
out any of them are ever going to preach on it, you call me, I promise
you, we'll cancel services and go listen. Find me one anywhere in the county
going to be preaching on it. No, they won't dare. They won't
dare. Romans 9, 15. He saith to Moses,
I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion
on whom I will have compassion. So then, salvation ain't like
you thought it was. My Bible doesn't read that way.
Let's see if it doesn't. It is not of him that willeth. Well,
what about the sinner's will? It's not of him that willeth.
But I always thought it's not like you thought. It's not of
him that willeth, nor of him that runneth. Not by your will,
nor by your excitement, but of God that showeth mercy. For the
scripture saith to Pharaoh, even for this same purpose have I
raised thee up that I might show my power in thee and that my
name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore, hath
he mercy on whom he will have mercy and whom he will he hardness. That means, Rex Bartley, that
you and yours and me and mine are shut up to God. You're shut up to God. Your only
hope is God will have mercy on you. That God will have mercy
on you. If he doesn't, he'll harden you. If he doesn't, he'll harden you. I remember years ago, I was speaking
to Brother Joe Terrell out in Rock Valley, Iowa. Called him
one day, and he had some visitors come. We chatted a little bit.
Said, it's always encouraging, delightful. He said, it is, but
I always wonder, when I see a strange face walk through the door, wonder
if God sent them here to save them or to damn them. God sent you here today to melt
your heart or to heighten your heart. I promise you, you'll
go out of those doors, one of the two happening if God speaks
by this preacher. One of the two. Had there been
no bondage, there would have been no deliverance. Had there
been no wicked Pharaoh, there would have been no throne, Pharaoh
on the throne, there would have been no mighty conquest of Pharaoh
who sat on the throne. Had there been no pursuing army
and no Red Sea, there would have been no song of redemption. God
ordained it all that he might be glorified and the same is
true with regard to all things and the salvation of our souls.
God wisely and sovereignly ordained the fall of Adam and of all men
in Adam and the redemption of his elect by Christ to the praise
of the glory of his grace. God raised up Pharaoh and hardened
his heart. so that he might drown him in
the Red Sea for the glory of his own name. Even so, God ordained
the fall of Lucifer and made him to be the prince of the power
of the air that he might glorify himself in the overthrow of the
prince of darkness. And in the end, as the overthrow
of Pharaoh and his armies, the final overthrow of Satan and
his armies shall show forth the praise of our God. and we'll
sing his praise forever. You can read about it in Revelation
15, where they sang together the song of Moses and the Lamb. In heaven's glory, singing the
praise of God, they sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Now, let's look here at Exodus
chapter 10. All thy works shall praise thee,
O Lord, and thy saints shall bless thee. Pharaoh tried repeatedly
to conciliate Moses and to conciliate God, to get Moses to compromise. At last he said to Moses, all
right, Moses, you win, I give up. Go serve the Lord. Only leave your flocks and herds
here in Egypt. But he soon found out you don't
bargain with God or God's servants. Preachers are a dime a dozen
and you can buy them cheaper than that. Not God's servants. Not God's servants. He soon found
out you don't bargain with God and God's prophets can't be induced
to compromise. Hear what Moses says in our text.
Our cattle also shall go with us. Here's this prophet. He's the meekest man who'd ever
lived in his day. Meekest man who'd ever lived
in his day. A man alive, if that's meekness,
God give me more of that. The meekest man who ever lived.
This is meekness. This is meekness. He knew whose
he was. He knew God is his God. He knew
God had sent him. And he stands up with a backbone
as wide as an eight-lane superhighway and as stiff as rigid steel to
the king of the mightiest, the mightiest king in the world and
says, we'll do this. God's going to send us out with
all our cattle. There shall not an hoof be left
behind. We'll miss the beauty, the purpose,
and the message of this portion of scripture altogether if we
fail to understand it spiritually. It is a type and an allegory
of our deliverance and salvation by Christ Jesus. We who have
experienced God's deliverance are to tell in the ears of our
children and our children's children the great wonders of God's grace
for us. Look at chapter 10, verse 1.
The Lord said unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, for I have hardened
his heart and the heart of his servants, that I might show these
my signs before him. And that thou mayest tell in
the ears of thy son and thy son's son what things I have wrought
in Egypt and my signs which I've done among them, that they may
know how that I am the Lord. That means Bob Duffy sees every
opportunity God gives you. Tell your sons and your grandsons how you got in the mess you're
in and how God got you out. Tell them! Tell them generation
after generation for the glory of God. Again, we're reminded
of God's distinguishing grace. He sent darkness in Egypt. Felt
darkness. Felt darkness. So that one man
couldn't see another for three days. Felt darkness. But we're told
in verse 23, all the children of Israel had light in their
dwellings. You see, God always makes a difference
between Jacob and Esau. God always makes a difference
between his elect and the rest of the world. God always distinguishes
his chosen from the rest of the world. Everything he does, Allen
Kidby, in this world, he does for you. And he uses everybody
else to do it. Is that what the book says? The
sons of Ham, all the reprobate are servants to Shem and Japheth. God gives light to Israel when
he sends darkness everywhere else. Now, let's focus on this
26th verse for just a few minutes. And I'll tell you two things.
Two things God helped you to hear. Two things. Number one. The Lord Jesus Christ demands
total surrender. Total surrender. In this day of bowing the knees,
say the sinner's prayer, come to the altar and say, I believe
in Jesus' salvation. In this day of decisional regeneration,
in this day of poppycock nonsense, folks call salvation. In this
day of religious tomfoolery, folks have the idea that a man
gets saved when he decides to say, I believe in Jesus, and
he may go ahead and live like hell, but now you're saved. That's
all right. They're called carnal Christians.
Carnal Christians. Well, I know my boy, he's gotten
away from the Lord, but he's saved. I know. I know he is,
because I was there when it happened. He's just carnal. He's just carnal. I remember my dear grandmother,
she told me one time after God saved me, my dad, hey, I don't
need to talk about that. She, well, I know, I know Paul's
saved because I was praying for him one day and I was washing
dishes and I saw a crown of thorns and I know he's saved. Live like
him, he's saved. He'd say, cuss God with every
bit. He'd say, shoot, where do people get such nonsense ideas?
Coming to Jesus is not saying I believe in Jesus. It's not
getting baptized. It's not joining the church.
It's not, it's not having a little emotional experience that has
no effect on your life. Faith in Christ is nothing less
than the willing, voluntary surrender and commitment of my heart in
the totality of my life to Jesus Christ the Lord. Nothing else. It's a constant struggle, a constant
warfare, a constant battle, but the believer is continually compelled
by grace to bow to Christ and give himself to Christ. These flocks and herds represented
everything the Israelites had. Everything. Everything. If you would have the pearl of
great price, you would have to sell everything to buy the pearl. Faith, trust Christ alone for
acceptance with God. Give up everything. All your
righteousness, all your goodness, all your feelings, all your thoughts,
all your pedigree, all that your mom and dad said you had and
all that you thought you had because they were your mom and
dad, all your relationships. Give it up! And you trust Christ
the Lord. You trust Christ the Lord. And
faith in Christ. surrenders everything to him
as Lord. Turn to Luke chapter 14. Luke chapter 14. I want you to see
this for yourself. See it for yourself. You test
what I say by the word of God, and I dare you to test what every
other preacher says by the word of God. Test it. Test it and
see if it's what the book says. I'm telling you that faith in
Christ requires the surrender of your life to Him. You bow
to Him as your Lord. You can't trust Him as your Savior
if you don't bow to Him as your Lord. It's impossible. Luke 14,
25. There went great multitudes with
Him, and He turned and said to them, If any man come after me,
any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother and
wife and children and brethren and sisters, yea, in his own
life also. What's it say? He can't be a
good disciple. Is that what it says? He cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his
cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Faith in Christ
is the willing surrender of my life to my Redeemer. Either you and I will be servants
under the dominion of King Jesus, voluntarily giving up everything
to Him, or we'll go to hell. There shall not an hoof be left
behind. Forty-five years ago, I took my place in the watery
grave, confessing my Redeemer, buried with Him when He was buried,
crucified when He was crucified, buried when He was buried, risen
with Him when He arose, and risen with Him to walk in the newness
of life. And I lifted my hand to God,
Mark, and this is what I said, to God and the world, I'm yours. I'm yours. Every time I have
the privilege of baptizing one, God is saved by his grace. I
lift my heart again to God and say, I'm yours. That's what baptism
is. It is our confession of faith
in Christ and our public declaration, I belong to Christ. Lock, stock
and barrel. Every minute of my time, every
breath in my lungs, every relationship I have, every dime in my pocket,
every hour of every day, I'm yours. I'm yours. Oh, but you've got a wife. Yep.
I'm yours. But you've got a child, yes,
but I'm yours. But you've got responsibilities,
I'm yours. You've got a job, I'm yours.
Yours. Do with me as you will. Yours. All true believers willingly
surrender everything to Christ. And Merle, this ain't something
that happened yesterday. It's a war every day with this
flesh. Every day. Every day. From the crown of my head to
the sole of my foot, I belong to the Son of God or I don't
belong to Him at all. And the same is true of you. And one day soon, One day soon, oh bless God, one
day soon, I shall have what I want most. I will be utterly, totally
consumed with Jesus Christ when I see Him as He is and I'm made
like Him. Number two, number two, Christ
demands total surrender. Number two, the Lord Jesus Christ
accomplishes total deliverance. There shall not an hoof be left
behind. What does that mean? Two things. Our Lord Jesus will save all
his people. All of them. Thou shalt call
his name Jesus, for he shall do the best he can if men are
willing to cooperate and let him have his way. And he doesn't
have to beg too much. He shall save his people from
their sins. Maybe. I mock such a God. I'm like Elijah
with the prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel. What kind of joke is that you're
calling God? What kind of fool do you think
I am to call that God? No! Thou shalt call His name
Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins. They were His people long before
He came into the world. His people, before they ever
knew they had a being, His people from eternity, chosen and ordained
by Him from eternity, His people. He saves them, every one of them,
by the power of His blood and the power of His grace. The Lord
Jesus Christ declares in John chapter 6, all that the Father
giveth me shall come to me. And him that cometh unto me,
I will in no wise cast out. That means if you come to him,
you can't be cast out. Oh, there now, Brother Don, you
can't have it both ways. You just told us this is God's
work. If you come to him, the Father gave you to him. All that
the Father giveth me shall come to me. And him that cometh to
me, I will in no wise cast out. It means that he will save all
his people from their sins. And it means that he, by his
blood atonement, made full satisfaction for sin. And he shall see of
the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied. We do not believe the blasphemous
notion of universal redemption. Our Lord Jesus made an infinite
satisfaction to God's justice for us. His intention in dying
was the eternal salvation of God's elect. And his intention
can never be frustrated. His intention and that which
he actually accomplished is precisely the same. The good shepherd giveth
his life for the sheep. Well, the sheep. Now, I know
people, this whole religious generation,
they've got a bad case of versitis. They interpret the Bible by a
verse. I got a call this week from a young man who'd been listening
to me. He seemed to be sincere, so I took some time to talk to
him. Then he wrote to me. I took time to answer his letter. And
he said, I just heard one of your sermons, and you said God
doesn't love everybody, and Jesus didn't die for everybody. But
what about John 3.16? For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son. Well, what about John 3.16? What
about that? There are multitudes in this
world, a vast multitude that no man can number, scattered
throughout the world who are loved of God. And John 3.16 means
just this, God loved the world of His elect. So loved them that
he gave his son that anybody who believes on his son might
have everlasting life That's the reason he gave his son No,
brother. Donna. That's that's not right
interpreting the word world like that. Let's say you got a Bible
with you Turn to Luke chapter 2 It's just exactly what I told
this young man the other day Luke chapter 2 And it came to pass in those
days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all
the world should be taxed. I asked this young man, did you
pay taxes back then? He said, well, no, I wasn't around. Well, it looks to me like the
word world then doesn't include you there. It's used in a very
limited sense. It's used to refer just to those
people who were under Caesar's dominion at the time. Them and
nobody else. And the word world and word all
are used throughout the scriptures representing a specific people.
The love of God is that which is from everlasting to everlasting.
God's peculiar love for his own in Christ Jesus, the Lord. Let's
try. interpreting it the way folks
would have us to. Well, Mother Dawn, I believe
that God loves everybody, and Jesus died for everybody, and
the Holy Spirit's tried his best to save everybody, but they just
won't let him. Well, that means that God loves
folks now, and then when they die, he changes and sends them
to hell because he hates them. But God says, I change not. What do you want? A changeable
God? And a helpless God? Or a God
who changes not? And needs no help? Jesus died
for everybody. Isn't that wonderful? That means
the blood of Christ ain't worth spit. If he died for Judas, what
good did it do him? If he died for the sons of Korah,
what good did it do him? If he died for Pharaoh, what
good did it do him? His blood's meaningless. Would
you rather have a Savior die for everybody whose blood's meaningless,
who can save nobody, or trust the Christ of God, whose blood
effectually accomplished the eternal redemption of the people
for whom he died? But the Holy Spirit, he tries
to get everybody to come to Jesus. If he did, he'd come. He doesn't
try. Did you understand that? David,
God doesn't try. He doesn't try. He does. God doesn't try. He doesn't try
things out. He doesn't. We're talking about
God. We're talking about God. There
shall not an hoof be left behind. Every sinner for whom Christ
shed his precious blood at Calvary shall be with him in glory. Every
sinner for whom Christ died at Calvary he will in time call
by the grace and power of his spirit and he will preserve them
in grace unto everlasting glory by the omnipotent power of his
own infinite mercy. All whom he died to redeem at
Calvary, he will save in the hands of omnipotent grace and
bring at last to heaven. All shall be with me, lo, I and
the children whom thou hast given me, not one is lost but the son
of perdition that the scriptures might be fulfilled." Ron, we
believe in effectual atonement, limited atonement. Atonement
that gets the job done. An atonement that causes every
saved sinner to gladly give himself up to Christ. Would you tell me why I shouldn't? Anybody here have a reason? Anybody
here can give me a reason? Anybody in the world? Please,
if you can give me a reason why I should withhold my wife, my
daughter, my grandchildren, my son-in-law, my time, my talents,
my energies in any way from the Son of God, call me up, please. Oh, no. He loved me and gave
himself for me. Here, Lord, I give myself away. It is all that I can do. Amen.
