I hope that the message will
be a blessing to you this morning. I don't think there's anyone
here and I would say the same thing if the place was packed. I don't think there's anyone
that hears, if God enables me to preach it, that shouldn't
have an interest in this. How much How much does someone
have to know in order to be saved? There's some necessary knowledge
involved in the salvation of a sinner. And I know there's
been books written on the subject. There's been debates and conferences
on this very subject. How much does someone have to
know? And I don't recall hearing any
of it that I would completely agree with. But what is that
knowledge that's essential, essential, indispensable? What is that knowledge
that's essential to salvation? And can you and I know whether
we possess it or not? Can we know that? And these,
as I said, are not unimportant questions or non-essential issues. The answer is so important that
there's nothing in comparison that is of more importance. Nothing's
more important than this. Nothing else, nothing else has
greater consequences than this. Am I a believer? Do I have genuine
faith? In Matthew chapter 22, there's
a strange incident takes place. The Sadducees and the Pharisees
who were opposing religious factions, got together with the Herodians
to try to trap the Lord Jesus in his words. And they had a
powwow. And the Pharisees come to him
and they ask him, good master, tried to flatter him, good master,
is it lawful for us to pay taxes? Should we pay tribute to Caesar?
And you know how he answered them. My soul, can you imagine? How foolish of them, how blind
it shows that they were because they thought they could entrap
with their wisdom the very embodiment of the wisdom of God. So it is
with blind religion. But our Lord sent them away with
their tails tucked between their legs, so to speak, and the Sadducees,
they sent their mouthpiece. Now the Sadducees didn't even
believe in the resurrection. They didn't even believe it.
And they came to him, they said, Master, and they made up the
story about a woman having so many wives, and they were all
married, or a woman had, that might be the case today, but
a woman having so many husbands, and one died, and she would marry
the brother, and so on and so on. And their question was, now,
now, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? And they thought,
now we'll show how foolish this teaching about the resurrection
is. We've got him now. And he said, you just don't know
what you're talking about. You don't have a clue. He said,
because in the resurrection, they're neither married nor given
in marriage. You don't know the scriptures
or the power of God. So they went back. And they huddled
up with the Herodians and said, well, let's send Dr. So-and-so here. So they sent
this lawyer, this mouthpiece. He went with the question, which
is the greatest commandment? And you know how our Lord answered
that. And we're told in verse 41, while the Pharisees were
gathered together, Jesus asked them. They had asked him questions,
and he answered them. Not as they wanted, but he answered
them. And he said, I've got a question
for you. I want to ask you something. While you're still here, What
think ye of Christ? What do you think of Christ?
Whose son is he? Now, they certainly had their
thoughts of Christ. I mean, all through the Old Testament,
which they were very keen to read and observe, especially
the touch not, the taste not, and so forth, and they knew much
about Christ They knew something about what the Old Testament
said about the Messiah, when he would come, where he would
come to, Bethlehem. But when he did come, imagine
this, imagine it. When he did come, they didn't
have a clue who he was. They didn't have a clue. There
he was, the Messiah, standing right before them. Man, he had
open, blinded eyes. He had unstopped deaf ears. And the Pharisees, other than
the disciples, other than the disciples themselves, kept a
keen observance of those things. Man, they watched him. They watched
him. They saw those miracles. They heard him preach the gospel
of God's grace. They were there when he raised
Lazarus from the dead. What think ye of Christ?" he
asked them. He stands right before them.
The Word made flesh. God in the flesh. The Son of
David, yes, but the Son of God. What do you think of Him? And
everything they thought about the Messiah was dead wrong. Because
when He appeared before them, they didn't even know who He
was. And you know what they did. You know what they did. Finally,
they cried away with Him. Crucify Him. He's not our Messiah. He's not our Messiah. He's a false prophet. He's worthy
to be put to death. We want you to crucify Him. We'll
not have this man rule over us. He is not our idea of the Messiah. He just doesn't fit in with our
religious tradition. That's exactly why they hated
him without a cause. There's just not a place for
him, our Lord told them. Before that, you make void the
word of God by your tradition. Ouch! Ouch! Doesn't that sound
familiar? Doesn't that sound familiar?
I hear people all the time say, Well, what's the Bible say about
this? And you'll tell them what the Bible says, and they'll say,
well, that's not how we do it at our church. Well, that's your opinion. You
do your thing, and I'll do mine. You worship God your way, and
I'll worship Him mine, and we'll all meet around the throne of
grace. So sad. They make void the word
of God in order to keep their tradition. That's what the Pharisees
did, and that's what religious people do today. Whatever these religious folks
had, it wasn't saving knowledge, was it? Whatever they might have
claimed to know about the Messiah, it didn't result in their salvation.
It couldn't. It was impossible for it to.
You know why? Because they didn't believe on
Him whom God did send. I mean, how in the world could
they be saved regardless of how much they might Hey, like that
lawyer, that mouthpiece they sent the last time to Christ
with his question, he may have been able to quote the whole
Old Testament, but he was blind. He may have been able to quote
the written Word, but when the Word made flesh, which this Word
is about, stood before him, he was blind as a bat, didn't know
who he was. So, whatever knowledge they had,
Whatever they may claim to have known, it wasn't saving faith
because they didn't believe in Jesus Christ, that one sent from
God. And again, on another occasion,
I think in John 8, our Lord told the Pharisees, if you believe
not that I am he, you're going to die in your sins. Now, that's
pretty cut and dry, isn't it? That's pretty plain. Say, oh,
my soul, that's kind of tough. That's pretty rough on them old
boys. The Lord was telling them the truth. He was telling them
the truth. And the same thing is true today.
No matter who... If I... I can stand here and
preach and say a lot of things, but if I've never believed on
the Son of God, I'm going to die in my sins. I'm going to
be with that multitude that stands before Him. The Lord talked about
Matthew 7 and He said, I don't know you people. I've never known
you people. Oh, Lord, surely, surely not,
surely not. Can you imagine the terror, the
terror that will grip their hearts? They go right up to the throne
of God Almighty, thinking he's going to throw the doors wide
open and say, enter into the joy prepared for you. And he
says, I don't know you. Lord, we preached in your name.
We've cast out devils in your name. We've built great monuments
in your name. Jesus, we did everything for
you. And he says, no, you didn't.
I don't know you people and they're cast into outer darkness. Ah,
so if you believe not that I am he, that Jesus of Nazareth, which
they didn't believe, oh, he's the carpenter's son. He's nobody. He's an imposter. We know his
brothers and sisters. Son of God, are you kidding me?
If you believe not I'm he, you'll die in your sins. I think this
article This brief article by Brother Henry Mahan I've used
in our bulletin on occasion. It may sound familiar to you,
but it's so good along this point. It's entitled, Today's Religion
Question. Henry wrote, anyone who is serious
about a knowledge of and relationship with the living God ought to
question Today's religion, which makes salvation only a profession
and not an experience, which operates only in a person's mind
and not upon his heart, which obligates God but does not glorify
God, which designates Jesus Christ as Savior but denies his Lordship,
whose hope of eternal life is based mainly on what men think
and not upon what God says. Now what does the Word of God
say about faith? How does God's Word answer this
question, what is saving faith? Verse 17. Verse 17 here in Ephesians
chapter 1. Let's just cut right to the chase
and answer that question. What is saving faith? That the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of Him." That's saving faith. It's the knowledge of Him. Not
to know about Him, everybody does, but to know Him. Everything that the apostle wrote,
beginning at verse 1, being chosen in Him, being predestined in
Him, being adopted as children of God in Him, to the praise
of the glory of His grace, His redemption, His everlasting love,
His acceptance, His purpose, His bringing us all to glory,
every one of those things I can never claim unless I know Him. I can't claim or know that I'm
elected until I know Him. The evidence of my election is
I believe on the Son of God. If I believe, you remember what
Philip said to that eunuch? He said, what hinders me to be
baptized? And Philip said, if you believe.
If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, he said, oh, I believe.
I believe that he is, and he baptized him. We can't claim
any of the promises of God. until we believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ. Our faith doesn't make those
promises effectual, but our faith is evidence, evidence that we're
elect. I can't know that otherwise.
I can't know that God loves me before I come to Christ. I can't
know that Christ died for me until I believe on the name of
the Son of God, and when I do, when I have the knowledge of
Him, then I can look back on all those promises. I mean every
one of them. and say, they're for me. Billy,
they're for me. And I can look forward to all
those blessed promises from God's Word of being with Him where
He is, of joining that multitude before the throne of God and
crying, worthy is the Lamb. I expect to be there. Why? Because I believe on the Son
of God. That's what faith is. It's the
knowledge of Him. Salvation, as we often say, is
by grace alone, in Christ alone, through faith alone. How do I
know I have the faith of God's elect? How do I know that I have
the faith that saves and not some counterfeit? Well, let me
ask you this question. What is the object of your faith?
To whom, not what, to whom do you look for salvation? Oh, there's
the answer. My faith may be dim. My faith
may be weak, but all genuine faith still looks to Jesus Christ,
still lands on Him, and that dying thief was as much saved
as Saul of Tarsus was, because the object of their faith was
the same. That poor thief could never say
and write the things Paul did, he was dying. I doubt he knew
anything about election or predestination or any of those things. But he
looked to the Lamb of God, remember me. And you remember what Christ
said, today, today you'll be with me in paradise. And he sailed
in the glory in the same ship that every sinner enters glory,
the Jesus Christ and his mighty grace. What is the object of
faith? The old hymn writer put it this
way. My faith has found a resting place. Genuine faith always does. It always finds a resting place.
I mean, if God grants us faith, it just doesn't float around
out here and never land upon the object of faith. He opens
our eyes for the very purpose so that we can behold His Son. Otherwise, we can't. My faith
has found a resting place, and it's not in device nor creed.
I trust the every living one. His wounds for me shall plead.
It's enough for me that Jesus says, this ends my fear and doubt. A simple soul, I come to him
and he'll never cast me out. And I need no other argument.
I need no other plea. It is enough. Bless his name. It is enough that Jesus died
and that he died for me. What Paul speaks of here in our
text, the revelation of him, the knowledge of him, is a believing
experimentally. Now I know we don't like to use
that word today, the Pentecostals, they base everything, I mean,
sometimes I think because they run so far in that direction,
emotionalism and everything's based on unscriptural emotion
and nonsense and blah blah blah, but that doesn't mean that there's
not such a thing as the experience of God's grace. Peter said, if
so be ye have tasted. My soul, when you taste something,
you know it. You sat down before a meal, like
last Sunday, you ladies prepared and just sat and I just stared
at it. It looks good. It probably tastes
good. But the only way I'm going to
know is to take a fork and dig in and get it, which I did. You've
tasted that the Lord is gracious. You know that he is gracious.
What Paul speaks of is exactly that, believing experimentally. It's not a mere rational or natural
knowledge. Not everybody has that. The Pharisees
and Sadducees had that, but it's that faith that is a result of
a miracle of God's grace. It's God's opening your heart
and dropping the blessed jewel of faith in Christ in it, and
you do what you could never do otherwise. You believe on the
Son of God. How about that? How about that? Before that, I'm blind. Grace
is experience. Salvation by grace is a doctrine
that's true, a doctrine that must be preached, a doctrine
that should be believed, but it's more than that. God's grace
must be experienced and received by faith. Just like the doctrine
of the redemption by our Lord Jesus Christ. That's true. But
it's another thing to know that here. To know that here and then
to say, I know. It's one thing to know the doctrine
of particular redemption. We preached on that last Sunday. Oh, but it's another thing to
say, I know the Redeemer. I know the Redeemer. I know that
my Redeemer liveth. I know. How did you know that,
Job? How did you know that? God gave him faith. And again
with Paul. I know whom I had believed. Job,
Paul, the object of their faith was the very same one, the Lord
Jesus Christ. I like an article, a brief article
that I read in someone's bulletin by Brother Gabe Stoniker. pastors
up there in Kingsport, Tennessee. Of course, you know his daddy,
Marvin, perhaps better than you know Gabe, but Gabe, on this
verse in 2 Corinthians 13, examine yourselves, whether you be in
the faith, prove your own selves, know ye not your own selves,
how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates. And
Gabe wrote this. He said, one man described false
or counterfeit faith in this way. It can never be broken over
its own sin. How about that? It can go through
the motions of religion, but it can never be heartbroken over
sin. It never hungers and thirsts
for the blood and righteousness of Christ. It's satisfied with
the decision. It's satisfied with saying the
sinner's prayer. It's satisfied with somebody
telling them you're saved because they went from the back to the
front. They never truly hunger and thirst
after righteousness. They've never known what it is
to stand in the place of that poor publican, smite upon their
heart, and say, I'm the sinner. There's not another sinner in
the world like me. I don't have to look beyond my
own self to see the sinner. God have mercy on me. I'm the
sinner. They can't do that. They've never
done that. And false faith never sees itself to be nothing at
all. And false faith, it'll never
bow to the sovereignty of the Lord Jesus Christ. It just won't
do it. Won't do it. Can't do it. It'll
say, it's my way. It's my will. I won't bow. I
won't bow. Oh, but true faith gave one on
the right. True faith says, oh, wretched
man that I am. True faith cries, wash me and
I shall be whiter than snow. True faith says, I know nothing
by myself. And true faith again with the
apostle says, I know whom I have believed. God deliver me from
a false faith. And that which makes it false
is it doesn't look to the Lord Jesus Christ. Now a word of caution
here. As we said a few minutes ago, Weak faith is still true faith.
Our acceptance before God is not measured by our faith, but
by that one that true faith looks to, the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh,
there's your comfort, child of God. There's your comfort. We all, I think, have to admit
that with that poor father of the demon-possessed son who cried
to our Lord when our Lord said, if you believe, if you believe,
I can do this. And he said, oh, Lord, I believe.
And he was telling the truth. But he said, help my unbelief.
He was telling the truth there, too. Yes, Lord, help my unbelief. Jesus Christ is the solitary
object of faith. John chapter 1, verse 17. No man had seen God at any time.
The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father,
he hath declared to him. He had declared to him. You can't
know God apart from Christ. It's impossible. People say,
well, I had a vision of God. Well, you need to take a shot
of Pepto-Bismol and maybe settle that stomach that's causing them
bad dreams. No, you can't know God apart from Jesus Christ.
He said, I'm the way, the truth, the life. No man cometh unto
the Father but by me. He declares the Father. You have
an example of this? in John's Gospel chapter 1. Again
the next day, John stood, that is John the Baptist, and two
of his disciples. One of these were Andrew. And
looking upon Jesus as he walked by, John said, Behold, behold
the Lamb of God. There's the one I've been telling
you about. That's the one I said you'll come after me. Behold
him. And the two disciples heard him
speak and they followed Jesus. And Jesus turned and saw them
following, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They said, Rabbi,
where do you live? Where dwellest thou? And he said
to them, Come and see. Erisphaion. Come and see. Come and see. When Christ reveals
himself to a needy sinner, when he enables them to embrace him,
when he by his mighty sovereign reigning grace brings a sinner
to fall down before thee. And they may cry, Lord, help
thou my unbelief. But by God's grace, they yet
believe. Lord, where do you dwell? Come
and see. And they came and saw where he dwelt. True faith always looks to Jesus
Christ. That's how we know it's true
faith. It looks to him. You say, is that scriptural?
Well, let's see. Let's see. John chapter 4. John
chapter 4. You're familiar with this. Our
Lord has to go through Samaria. He just has to. I mean, that's
how the chapter begins. He needs to go through Samaria,
or rather the story begins. Because he's got a sheep down
there. He's got one that he came into the world for. He's got
one that the Father chose in him before the world began. There's one there that he's going
to redeem. So he goes through Samaria to
find that one lost sheep. And she's coming to the well
at noon. What an odd time to go to the well, the hottest part
of the day. Why did she do that? She didn't want to be seen. She
knew nobody else would be there because she was the town I mean,
she didn't want to hear the whisperings. You know what I mean? At times
she's been married. How many marriages she's broken
up? And she's living with somebody else's husband now. She thought she could avoid that.
My soul, when you see her carrying her picture there to the well
in the heat of the day, behold, my soul, she's an object of God's
grace. She's a chosen vessel of mercy. And our Lord, you know the story,
he deliberately meets her, intercepts her, engages in conversation,
and the first thing she does is throw out her religion. She
said, well, I'm not as bad. I'm not as bad as some folks,
you know. I worship, I mean, I might not worship at Jerusalem
like you Jews do, but we've got a temple there in Samaria just
as good. And Jesus said unto her, If thou
knewest the gift of God, and who? The knowledge of Him. If you knew the gift of God and
who it is that says to you, give me to drink, you would ask of
Him and He would give you living water. If such a knowledge of
the Son of God is not possible, then what He said to her is without
any meaning whatsoever. Genuine faith cannot be separated
from Jesus Christ. That is what unites us to Christ's
faith. Remember what he prayed in John
17, just before he went to the cross? And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ
whom thou hast sent. If such a thing is not possible,
of knowing that I am his and he is mine, then those words
have no meaning whatsoever. They're very Word itself. Faith means primarily a firm
persuasion. A firm persuasion. Faith is the
substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen. Not seen. Being sure that what
I hope for is certain. Looking not at the things which
are seen, but the things which are not seen. In John chapter
9, another familiar passage. The Pharisees cast out the man,
the man that was born blind, that our Lord restored sight
to. They cast him out. He, too, was one of the Christ's
sheep. We read in John 9, verse 35, Jesus heard that they had
cast him out. That's the best thing that ever
happened to him, Lord. They booted him out. Otherwise, he might
have sat in that tradition satisfied. They excommunicated him. That's
the best thing that ever happened to him. They threw him out. And
when Jesus found him, he said unto him, Do you believe on the
Son of God? And he answered and said, Who is he? Who is he that
I might believe on him? And Jesus said he revealed himself
to him. He had seen him. The Lord had
healed him, but still it was necessary for him to give him
the gift of faith. Jesus said unto him, Thou hast
both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said,
Lord, I believe. I believe. and he worshipped
him. His faith had found the resting
place. So does every sinner that looks
to the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe when Lazarus was raised
from the dead, he felt it. Don't you? I believe when that
man's eyes were opened, he was aware of it. I believe when those
dead ears were unstopped, and all these are pictures of Christ's
salvation. He was aware of it. And I think
if you experience the forgiveness of God, you'll be aware of it. You'll feel that forgiveness
in your heart. The grace of God that gives us
faith to believe in Christ is not a dead, lifeless principle. It's nothing less than this.
God working in you both the will and the do of His good pleasure.
God's grace that produces faith is nothing less than His good
work He performs in you and carries on into the day of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Paul said the just shall live,
not make a decision and that be the end of it. The just shall
live by faith. Every day they believe on the
name of the Son of God. Thank God for His grace that's
not a mere offer of grace but a mighty operation Lazarus, I'm
offering to save you if you'll take the first step. What good
is that? What good is that? Oh no, I need
grace that doesn't offer to save me. I need grace that saves me. I need grace that actually doesn't
offer to raise me to life. It raises me to life and gives
me faith in the Son of God. It was grace that taught my heart
to pray. and grace and made my eyes o'erflow. It is grace that's kept me to
this day and will not let me go." Here's another article,
may have been in your bulletin, another story rather, a preacher
of years ago named William Guthrie. He visited a dying woman who
was ignorant of the gospel and the way of salvation. And Guthrie
preached the gospel to her and God opened her heart, just like
he did Lydia. He opened her heart and she believed.
Before Guthrie left, the woman died. And when he returned home,
he told his wife and family, I've seen a strange thing today.
A woman whom I found in a state of nature, lost and blind, I
saw in a state of grace, and I left in a state of glory. Isn't that something? Isn't that
something? The vilest offender that truly
believes that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Genuine faith
is just not agreeing with certain facts, scriptural facts. It's embracing the Son of God. One example of that, and I think
this will be sufficient. Matthew chapter 16, our Lord's
with his disciples in private, and he asked them, whom do men
say that I, the Son of Man am? And they don't. Some say you're
Elijah, or a great prophet. Some are saying there's a rumor
that you're John the Baptist, risen from the dead. That's the
general opinion of Christ. Oh, he's a good man. He's a good
man. Son of God. No, I can't go that
far, but he was a good teacher. And our Lord said, well, Who
do you say that I am? Who do you say that I am? Forget
what they say. They're always saying something.
But who am I to you? And Simon Peter said, thou art
the Christ. You're the Son of the living
God. Oh, my son. Man, that's worth more and all
this world's gold. Isn't it? That's more precious
than everything this world can bestow. Faith in the Son of God. And you remember what our Lord
said to Peter. He said, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, because
for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. You didn't come
to this intellectually. You didn't just arrive at this
on your own. It's not that you just figured
this out. No, no, no, no. My Father has revealed this to
you, My Father which is in heaven." Now you think about that. Here
Peter had been with the Lord, lived with the Lord, was a member
of that inner circle, the elect of the elect, along with James
and John. He saw the miracles. He heard
things the others didn't. And yet, Jesus said, that's not
why you believe on that. My Father's done something for
you, Peter. He's revealed to you who I am. He's given you that precious
gift of faith. You talk about higher learning,
Lester, huh? Higher learning? It doesn't get
any higher than that, does it? Oh, this knowledge that comes
from God Himself, revealing to a sinner His Son and creating
faith in them. Oh yes, that's the learning that
I want, don't you? I've been asked from time to
time, where did you go to college? Did you ever go to college, preacher?
And I said, yeah, I went for 20 years. I made a career out
of it. Every day I went to work, went
to college. I'll tell you what, most seminaries,
cemeteries just produce dead preachers. The natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God, because they're spiritually
discerned. God must reveal them to them. I would rather be identified
as John and Peter were. They said concerning them, the
religious powers looked down on them and said, well, they're
just unlearned and ignorant. We don't need to pay any attention
to them. They don't know any better. But
they took note of them, that they had been with Jesus. I'll
tell you what. Take your doctorates and your
DDs and your whatever. but let me be identified as being
with Jesus. One preacher put it this way,
and I'm bringing this to a close. A grain of saving faith is better
than a ton of gold, for it secures an inheritance in the unsearchable
riches of Christ, of grace and of glory. It justifies and sanctifies
and eternally saves. Paul and Silas were thrown into
prison at Villapay. And at midnight, they weren't
calling for a lawyer and wanting their rights. They were singing
praises to God. They must have thought, well,
God's in control of this too. And the prisoners heard them.
Imagine that. What a testimony. There's a great earthquake. And
that jailer, you know the story, Act 16. He woke up out of his
sleep and saw that the prison doors were all open. And he was
responsible for those prisoners. And he figured, well, rather
than be executed the next morning, he said, I'll just end my life
now. And Paul cries out, don't do that. Do yourself no harm.
And he falls down before Paul and Silas and says, what must
I do to be saved? What must I do to be saved? Well,
you need to learn theology. You need to feel this and that.
You need to be catechized and homogenized. No, no, and sanitized. No, no. What must I do to be
saved? Here's the answer. Here's the answer. Paul said,
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. And he did. And he did. And he
was saved. Brothers and sisters in Christ, I know, I know, that every sinner
that believes on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved. Because
I did. I did. God enabled me to see
His Son. And when I did, man, I'd been,
I'd been trying to act religious before that. I got me a Bible.
Because I saw other people who claimed to know God all carry
the Bible, so I got me a Bible. One got me a haircut. I was a
hippie, and I thought, well, I can't be a hippie anymore.
Did all that, and people said, you're saved, you're saved. Oh,
boy, patting me on the back, congratulations, you're saved.
And I lay down at night, and God said, lost, lost, lost. And I thought, well, I guess
I'm going to hell. Guess I'm going to go to hell,
Billy. Because if this is salvation,
it's not enough for me. If this is all it amounts to,
it's just not going to get it done. And God enabled me to work my
way through all that rubbish, all that religious tradition,
and fall down before the Son of God and beg Him If you will,
you can save me. You don't have to do it. I know
you don't. But would you please save me? And Jesus Christ said, oh, I
will. Thy sins are all forgiven thee. Glory, glory to his name. And this is the record. that
God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son
of God hath not life. These things have I written unto
you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may
know, that you may know that you have eternal life, that you
may believe on the name of the Son of God. Amen. Amen. God bless you.
