People would think I would speak
in a cliche in saying this, but I mean this wholeheartedly. I'd prefer this man to be preaching
on justification right now than having my own voice heard. We'll
get him next year. I'll keep bullying him. But I
have in my hand here, it's not a, is it Neville Chamberlain? I'm too young for Neville Chamberlain.
Sorry, you're too young for Neville Chamberlain. I have in my hand
here a photograph that Alison dug out of a drawer the other
day. And time flies by. There's a young man there with
hair. He's always looked young, this
man, for his age actually. He's still got all his own hair.
And this was back in the days when I would sit just through
there, just through there. And when this church would have
a fellowship meal, I would come along occasionally when I wasn't
lying in my bed from a night out on the tiles. And every time,
every time we'd have a conversation, I would I would try and solve
all the world's ills with this man, and he would infuriate me. In fact, have a little look at
this later, because he's got a very nice penny on there. But
he would infuriate me. I'd get the same, same answer.
He'd say, H, you're not going to change, man.
You're not going to change, man. You're not going to change, man. Man's hearts are not going to
change. until Christ Jesus comes into
their heart. Oh, not that again, I'd say.
And then one Sunday evening I sat there at the back with the lads,
waiting for the sermon to end, but I couldn't escape. And after
hearing so many times preaching on the blood, it broke me down,
it broke me down. Sent me to my room that night
and I knew then that I believed, that I could not deny that I
believed on Christ. We praise God. We praise God
indeed that, as Peter said, salvation's got nothing to do with us. It's
all of God. And if it was anything to do
with us, no one who believes on Christ would be here this
afternoon. This place would be empty. We cannot presume either
that everyone here knows Christ. Forbid that any preacher should
presume that everyone in the congregation knows the Lord Jesus
Christ. And I believe that there must
be someone here also that does not know the Lord Jesus Christ.
And I pray that there will be a message here for the Lord's
people and those who just may well be the Lord's people that
don't know they are yet. and may God even be gracious
to them. There comes a time when preparing
a message and all of you who prepare messages you know that
you spend so much time preparing a message and then something
happens and you're caused to change your message. To a degree
it's infuriating because you've got to put even more work into
a new message. But I was staying with our dear
friends Mark and Dawn Philpot a couple of months ago and such
an occurrence happened, they knew nothing of it. I was sitting,
chatting at the dinner table and then I knew the message I
had prepared was not for today. But nonetheless, some of you
are going to probably think, well me and Peter, many have
been swapping notes over the last couple of months. but I
was dreading that he was going to say everything I said, I've
got on my notes. But he hasn't, there is something
I can say that he hasn't said. But the Spirit is obviously leading
in that way, that God's people should hear this message. Let's
all hear it today. Our passage is found in John's
Gospel, sorry not John's Gospel, in Romans and chapter 8. You probably realise where we're
going. Romans and chapter 8. And we're in the 28th verse. Someone said to me last night,
where's your accent from? This bloke was actually from
London. I'm thinking, well, I really must have a unique accent. I
do hope that you do understand the mannerisms and the slight
quirky sayings that we have here in London. Romans chapter 8 and
verse 28. One of the most loved verses
that God's people have. And we know, not we hope. not we think, not we imagine
so. We know that all things, not
just some things, not just a few things, a few good things. We
know that all things work together for good to those who love God. Many people say they love God,
aren't they? But they don't love the God of the Bible. They don't love the Son of God. They don't know God. But these are the ones for whom
all these things work together for good. To those and to those
alone. To those alone. The Lord Jesus didn't die for
all man. He died for his elect, as we heard, and they will all
come. The harvest will all be brought in. To those who are,
not who will be, not who might be, those who are the called
according to his purposes. Does it say purposes? No, it
doesn't. According to his purpose. Peter touched on this earlier
on about time, how time goes by so quickly and you look back
and you see the things that have gone on in your life. I was actually
walking with Mark and Dawn earlier on and we went on what I called
the Harry Tour of the area because I've been here all my life apart
from when I was one year old. When you have your midlife crisis,
it's terrible living in your home area because you remember
everything when you were a kid, but you're not a kid. But there are many things that
take place in our lives that we don't understand. And when
I was growing up, things that took place in my family situation,
I didn't understand. You don't understand why at the
age of 12 years, 12 years old, that your whole world should
come crashing down and, and your parents split up. What's the
purpose in all of that? What is the purpose in all that?
I haven't, I didn't have a clue what the purpose in all of that.
And I can tell you that I saw some things, I saw some things
that a young child shouldn't see. I can remember them to this day.
They don't haunt me, but I remember them to this day. But now I can
look back and I can see the purpose. The purpose. We went out on the
streets on Wednesday to hand out some leaflets to invite some
people from the local area to come in and hear the gospel.
And this young man, he may well be here, Perry, I don't I don't
wish to embarrass you if you're here, but he came up to us and
he was asking us about, well what do you think about all these
things that are going on? Like what I was saying to John
all those years ago. And I found myself repeating
the same old words. There is no purpose in anything
for the unbeliever. No purpose whatsoever. Life has
no purpose. but to the one who is the called
according to God's purpose to the one who is belonging to Christ
Jesus everything has a purpose now this is why my message changed
and it seems in the intervening two months since more and more
more and more people have been added to this list that I know
who this message is for today These two faithful men here,
at the front here, have preached faithfully last night and today. It hasn't been easy to prepare their
messages, let alone deliver their messages, but faithful they were. You who know the Lord Jesus Christ,
you who know the Savior, Are you being tried? Are you
being tried by many concerns, worries and sufferings? You who have not trusted the
Savior, are you full of concerns and worries? You have no hope
without the Savior. You have absolutely no hope without
the Savior. It doesn't matter whether you
are a stranger to the church or whether or not you have been
brought up and born as part of a family that are members of
a church. You're strangers to Christ unless
God has come and revealed his purpose to you personally. Now I know for sure as I said
that there are people here my brothers and sisters in Christ
who are what I what I would say simply put in simple language
you are going through it and such concerns and worries have
hit our family in this last month or so as well. You have We all have, if we belong
to Christ, but one hope. One hope alone. I think you said
that as well. One hope alone. One hope alone. Not as the world
hopes. The world hopes wishes like the
slot machine. The world hopes wishes things
may be as they want them to. This isn't our hope. If in Christ
your hope, your hope is steadfast, immovable and certain. As certain as anything you can
think of. The love with which God Almighty
loves you, who are God's called. It has no beginning. It shall
know no end. We don't comprehend such a thing.
You who are knowing these particular, these most particular trials
right at this very moment, which would even tempt your faith to
be shaken. What is your hope? What is your
hope? It's simply this. God loves you. How deep the Father's love for
us. vast beyond all measure. God loves me. Can you say that? You can't say I love God until
you know God loves you. Until Christ has come and made
his home in your heart and revealed himself, revealed his love to
you. How long has he loved you? Have
you ever thought about that? How long has God loved me? Now
those who, those who speak of, those who speak of a gospel so
called which is a free offer gospel, a works based gospel,
that which requires you to choose to follow Jesus, that Jesus,
that Jesus apparently only began loving when you called out to
Him. Not the God of the Bible, not
the Son of God, not the true Christ. How long has He loved
you? This is what He says. And this is all we can cling
to. Even if it be, even if our faith be as small as that mustard
seed. God says to you, I have, as well
as I do, I have loved you with an everlasting love. And then
he goes on to say, he goes on to say, he goes on to show the
purpose. The purpose was, is caused by
his love. by His great everlasting love. Therefore, with loving kindness,
have I drawn you." This is one of the most under attack doctrines
of the Gospel of Christ today. Irresistible grace. Yes, when
this faithful man was under attack for preaching these doctrines,
I'm thankful that I came to know the Lord Jesus as he was preaching
those doctrines. And it made perfect sense to
me. Irresistible grace. Because I
knew, as I was saying to you Don the other night, I thought
I could run from God. All the people who spoke, the
many people who spoke to me of Christ. Many people spoke to
me of Christ. And I thought I could run. I thought, yeah, next week,
next time, yeah. Not, I don't want to talk about
that right now. Sooner or later, if God has loved you with an
everlasting love, he's going to draw you. Irresistibly. You cannot but, you cannot but
respond to that love. But just what is that everlasting
love? What does that really mean? Well you cannot fully grasp it.
Can you grasp what that means? Everlasting love? To fully grasp
that, the wonder of God's ways We cannot fully grasp the wonder
of any of God's ways. The scripture tells us in Romans
11, Oh the depth of the riches, both
of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable are his
judgments. and his ways past finding out. Praise God, if you know Christ
Jesus, you know something of his love. Have we even scratched
the surface of that everlasting love? Yes, if Christ has been
revealed to you by the gracious moving of his Holy Spirit in
you, and that must take place, you must be born again. You sure
know what love is. There was a song, wasn't there,
by a group called Foreigner. Interesting, called Foreigner.
Because all outside of Christ are foreigners to God's love.
And it was called, I want to know what love is. I want you
to show me this is love. Behold. Behold what manner of
love that God has bestowed upon us that we should be called,
let alone know that love, should be called the sons of God. That's love. That's love. Yes, you sure know what love
is, having tasted that God is good. He says to you who know
not the Saviour, He says to you who know not the Saviour, O taste,
O taste, O taste and see that the Lord is good. Everything
that you think is good, everything that you aspire to, everything
that you look to, it's nothing. We looked at that last night,
didn't we? There's nothing of any worth in this world. Oh,
but Christ, Christ is everything. You who know the Lord Jesus and
trust Him for salvation with God, you know God's love now. Not in theory. You haven't just
studied it. As Pastor John said quite rightly,
we have something to rejoice over and be excited about. We have tasted God's love. by
experience. Yes, we are allowed to say, we
are allowed to say, we have experienced God's love. Because unless you
have experienced God's love, you know nothing of it. Unless
Christ has come and revealed himself to you, you are a stranger
to this love. It is but theory. The love of
God, we're told, is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
which is given unto us. And so we see in our text, and
we know that all things work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. Yes,
many things will have taken place in your life prior to being called
by God's grace to salvation in Christ. And indeed, for certain,
many things have taken place to trouble you since. In fact,
sorry, I keep embarrassing you, but I was left in no doubt by
my pastor. I promise you, come to Christ. Believe on Christ. In many ways
your troubles will start. The Lord Jesus did not hide such
truths from his people, did he not? He said, count the cost. But yet, we are not without hope,
are we? And here in this text, the original says quite literally,
quite literally, the called according to purpose. to purpose. All things are purposed. And who are they purposed by?
Are they purposed by some president, some prime minister, some monarch,
some despot? Are they purposed even by you? You decided, you think you decided
to come today. You didn't. You didn't. you were
enabled to come today. Some were not enabled to come
today who wanted to come. No, all things are purposed and
brought to pass by the Lord Almighty, the Ruler of Heaven and Earth.
None can stay His hand. None can say, what doest thou?
By God Almighty, the Sovereign Ruler of all things, Now firstly I want you to see
briefly, see that all, all, all that came before, all that came
before in your life if you know Christ, all that came before
was moving to this end, to this end. That you would know the
call of God's grace in the Gospel. That's the purpose you were conceived,
the purpose you were conceived for. That's the purpose you were
born unto. As Paul says, the Lord separated
me from my mother's womb. Separated me from my mother's
womb. I remember seeing, I remember seeing the scan of Fiona's, when
Fiona was growing there in Alison's womb and Part of me was happy and then
part of me was thinking, I've got no business looking at this.
I felt like I was invading the privacy. But she was being knit
together. She was being knit together by
the Omnipotent Hand, the Almighty Hand of God. That takes place with, that's
commonplace to all who are born in this world. We're all created
by the Almighty. But to those who are the called
according to his purpose. Oh, there's a special there's
a special attention paid. There's a special attention paid.
We are set apart from our mother's womb unto this end that he might
reveal his son in me. I never understood my life my
early childhood until until God came and revealed his son in
me. It all makes sense now. It all
makes perfect sense. God arranged everything, good
and bad. Good and bad to bring you who
believe to hear those words of eternal life. Why? Why should? Why should? Why should this man
knock on our door? when they were seeking to start
up a youth work in this area. Why our door first? Why should my brother come in
first, who's as far away as I could imagine from Christ now? Because the one, the shy boy,
yeah I was shy, the shy boy who wouldn't come until he was round
about 12 years of age when I could have come a bit younger, until
I should come in and hear the gospel. God moves to work His
purposes out. Yes, only since I came to know
the Saviour, knowing what a great love He has and has always had
for me, could then I understand the purpose of all the sad things
I experienced in my family life. They affect me not now. They
have not. There are scars, there are many
scars, there are many things that take place in our family
which are a result, as a result of it. But they do not, they
do not, they do not sadden me now in that way. You see we have a wonderful example
where the Savior comes and brings salvation to a woman, to a woman
who's, she couldn't have gone any further away. from God. She has had four husbands. Four husbands. Turn with me to
John chapter 4. He comes and brings salvation
to a woman who though for her it was just a normal day She was going about normal everyday
business. Going to fetch water from a well. It turned out to be the most
extraordinary day. And do you know what? The Lord Jesus purposed everything. Because we see We see in John's
Gospel chapter 4 and we see in verse 3 these important words. He left Judea and departed again
to Galilee. Now the AV puts it better than
the NKJ here, but he needed to go through Samaria. He must needs. He must needs go through Samaria. Samaria was not the way geographically
to Galilee. It wasn't the short way anyway.
But he must go. He must go. He must go. Even as the Lord Jesus said to
Zacchaeus, I must come to your house. He invited himself to Zacchaeus'
house. Remember that. And we see in verses 28 after
this incident, after this encounter with the Son of God, the woman goes back to her city. The woman then left her water
pot, went her way into the city and said to the men, come and
see a man who told me all things, all things that I ever did. Could
this be the Christ? Could this be the Christ? Yes, all things that she ever
did. Even her immoral life. Good and bad. We don't know what
her start in life was. Everything was moving towards
this point. God had purposed. His Son must
be revealed to her. Aren't you thankful for that?
Aren't you thankful for that? That God came to you, if you
know Christ, aren't you thankful that God came to you and didn't
wait for you to come to Him? Secondly, all since you first
believed Christ, good and bad has and does come to pass for
your good. We don't always understand it.
We rarely understand it. Usually it is looking backwards
to see, to see the blessing. But yet nonetheless, we hold
on to this truth. Yes, all that comes to pass since
Christ was revealed in you. It's for that same purpose. The
purpose that Christ came to you was to reveal His grace in you
and indeed continually, continually as a child of God. All that comes
to pass in your life is that you should know more of this
grace. God in Christ keeping you. Irresistible grace. Perhaps we
shouldn't call it the perseverance of the saints. Perhaps we should
call it the upholding in Christ until the end. Because he's not
letting go of us. We, in our foolishness, try and
revel free in our fleshly nature, don't we? We can't, we cannot,
we cannot, we cannot be lost. None shall pluck them from my
hand. The same purpose is that God's
grace continue, continue to be known, experienced, and appreciated
by us who are loved of God. The scriptures tells us we must,
we must through much tribulation, enter the Kingdom of God. It
is certain that we who are belonging to Christ, we are kept weak. We are kept weak because we are
kept weak, we are caused more to look and trust on our beautiful
Saviour, looking on Him. looking unto Him for all our
hope and all our strength. All is of grace. We read how
Paul was taught this. He was taught this, that he should
continually know this for all his troubles, for all his afflictions. We're told in 2 Corinthians 12
and 9 And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient, sufficient
for thee. That means there isn't anything
else. Sufficiency. I don't need anything
else. Sufficient. For My strength is made perfect
in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will
I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of God may rest
upon me. Lay hold on that, child of God,
to thee. The child of God, just like the
rest of this world, you're not exempt. You're not exempt from
trouble. Don't think for one moment you're exempt from the
things which are troubles in this world which are common to
all men. We go through many things which
are common to all men. John 15 teaches us that. In this world you will have tribulation. You will have tribulation. Yet,
as we go through many troubles, we have, and we alone, if we
are the children of God, we alone have the assuring words that
He tells us, you are mine. Where does God say those words?
Turn with me to Isaiah 43. And notice, and notice the opening
words. Notice the opening words of this
passage. Isaiah 43. But now, thus says the Lord who
created you, O Jacob. Lord Jesus says to you who belong
to him now. And He who formed you, O Israel,
Jacob the supplanter, Israel, Israel the new name,
Israel the new name, the redeemed. Fear not, fear not, for I have redeemed
you. How deep the Father's love. How vast beyond all measure,
that He should give His only Son. Fear not, for I have redeemed
you. I have called you by your name. Have you known the call
of God? You sitting there right now,
has God called you by name? Have you known what it means
for God to call you so much so that you think that the man preaching
is looking right at you? And you cringe and you sink down
in your seat and you think, why is he looking at me? I knew that. I knew that. I knew
what that was. Until you know that, until you
know that piercing of God in your soul, showing you yourself,
your sin, your need of the Savior. These words mean nothing to you.
But if you can say that, he says, fear not, I have redeemed you. Christ does not redeem anyone
because they believe. Have you got that? There's charlatans out there
who call themselves doctrines of grace men, who say, if you
will believe, God will atone for your sin. They're no different
from a papist. They may as well be saying the
mass. Christ has redeemed his elect. It is finished. And that, that is why he calls. And he only calls those who are
the redeemed. I have called you by your name. Why? Only one reason. That everlasting love. You are
mine. You are mine. We mentioned marriage
earlier on. Have you noticed, you men, I
think it's... Once you get your wedding ring
on, it gets misshapen. And in those opening years of
marriage, those early years, your fingers haven't grown so
fat, and then you can slip it off and on. fiddle around with
it. I used to fiddle around with it occasionally and just put
it backwards and forwards. And I was doing some study the
other night and I was fiddling with this ring. I can't move
it. I can't move it. It was so stupid
I almost got into a panic. My blood circulation goes. I
can't get this ring off. The more you're in Christ, the
more you're in Christ, His grip's not getting any lighter. You're
in his hand. You're mine. And therefore, therefore
you can now hear these words. When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you. And through the rivers, they
shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned. Nor shall the flame scorch you. Those three men that were put
into that fiery furnace. It's amazing, isn't it? They
were put into a fiery furnace. And one appeared there like unto
the Son of God. I wonder what they talked about.
I believe he talked about redemption, didn't he? He talked about redemption.
But it says he talked with them, he stood there. But it was when
they came out, the amazing thing is, the amazing thought, that
not a single hair on their head, their clothes were not scorched
at all in a fiery furnace. Though if anyone's seen a tandoor
oven where they make naan breads, it's a clay oven. If you put
your hand in there, you actually see when they put the dough in
there, it forms the bread in seconds. If you put your hand
in there, that's your hand. It would melt in seconds. In
that fiery furnace, it had no impact on them. Yes, those fiery
trials will not destroy you. Nor shall the flame scorch you,
for I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. He's not your Saviour, he's my
Saviour. You know what I mean by that, don't you? He's my Saviour. Dear old Ian Cochrane, who used
to stand in this pulpit from time to time, he had a saying,
he used to say, you know it, don't you? Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my Jesus? Praise
God if you know my Jesus. For I am the Lord your God, the
Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in my
sight, you have been honored and I have loved you therefore
I will give men for you and people for your life everything is working
in this world to the end of saving God's elect and everything is
working in this world to the keeping of God's elect everything
else is incidental my family are incidental I love them but
they were incidental that I should that I should come unto the sound
of the gospel that I should be born in that family But do you notice the words here?
You are mine, I have redeemed you. Oh, the glorious words here. When you go through, not when
you stay in. When you go through, there's
an end to it. When you go through, when, but
when, yes indeed, you will go through. You will know the trials,
but you will go through them. They will end. Not if, and not,
and not they will overcome, but oh you will get to the end. Not
consumed by in any way. No matter how distant God seems
in your circumstance, we don't rely upon feelings. We only rely
upon do I believe. This was touched on just now.
I know, I've known that experience continually. You're tempted to
disbelieve constantly. Lord, help me in my unbelief.
But you cannot not believe, can you? You who do believe. You
know if you believe. You know if you believe on the
Son of God. You do not, you cannot, you cannot indeed, you cannot
indeed deny your Saviour. Yes, no matter how distant he
seems, how deep the trouble, his promise remains certain. Sure, I will never leave you
nor forsake you. I will leave and forsake. I will
leave and forsake the reprobate who I do not love. I will never
leave you. He is working your good and that
good is known far greater through these trials as God causes you,
causes you to draw near to Him and call on Him. Draw near now
and hear that promise again. You are chosen by grace, redeemed
through grace, and called by grace to believe, made righteous
in Jesus by grace. Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous
to be moved. Safe you are on the rock who
is Jesus Christ, and Him crucified and risen again. Thirdly, all
of your brethren, all of your brethren, your brothers and sisters
in Christ, are being tried also. You are not alone. Now in a conference
like this, we could just talk about doctrine all the time.
I don't believe that would be right. We love to hear the doctrines,
but there are times when we need a message a message in season
unto our souls. Yes, we hold these doctrines
dear, but we don't lose sight of the need that we have and
should grasp at such times as now to edify, to build one another
up. For only your fellow believers
can really have feeling of your troubles here on earth. Your
friends, your family, no matter how sincere, know nothing of
them. They know nothing of the trials of a believer. Your fellow
believer goes through like temptations, like tests. Your trial, trouble
and suffering may not be the same identically as your fellow
child of God. Yet in another sense, in another
sense, They are all the same. They are all the same. Even though we do not understand
for a season why God should allow such things, even, not just allow,
because that is the, that is the halfway house of those who
say they believe in a kind of sovereign God. No, God doesn't
just allow. God brings to pass. those things
that God is bringing to pass. As it is so, He is in many cases
bringing others of His elect, others of His chosen ones, to
know the Saviour, even through your witness, even through your
witness. Last but not least, all, all suffering all suffering
we may know is NOTHING. NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING compared
to this. The greatest instance of a man's
suffering under the sovereign rule of the Almighty is seen
in Christ Jesus the Lord. What man suffered like this?
No one suffered like him. Brother Peter read from Hebrews
12. I was relieved he didn't go on any further. I'll finish
off that passage. Considered a saviour. Considered
a saviour. Let us just for one moment. Brother Don said the other night, The Lord has given us the Lord's
Supper, the Communion, because so often we do not consider,
we do not stop and consider the sufferings of our Saviour. I
don't believe I really ever considered those sufferings sufficiently. But let us, as God allow us,
consider those sufferings. Hebrews 12 tells us indeed, tells
us to consider this suffering servant king. What his father
inflicted upon him. For he made him who knew no sin
to be sin. Not just to carry sin, yes he
did bear our sins himself in his own body on the tree. But
he was made it. He was made the very hideous
nature that is sin. Him who knew no sin was made
to be sin for us. That we might be made the righteousness
of God in Him. You who are seeking to be good. Good little boys and girls. Oh I hate those Gospels. I hate
those so called Gospels. Those so called Christian books
that tell people to follow the good example of Noah. The good
example of Noah. They forget. Noah found grace
in the eyes of the Lord. Then he was perfect in his generations.
Perfect in Christ. Perfect in his Redeemer. Good
little boys and girls. Good bigger little girls and
boys. Whatever age you are. You cannot be good. God demands
perfection, perfect holiness, perfect righteousness. He will
in no wise behold iniquity. And that is why the father turned
his face away. that we might be made the righteousness
of God in Him, only if God come and make His rule in your heart
and reveal Christ in you and give you the gift of His grace
to believe on His Son, then you have the righteousness of God
imputed. God looks on you and sees righteousness. Christ Jesus, the mercy seat. Our sin is covered. Our blessed
state we're in. For consider, for consider him,
verse 3 says, for consider him that endured such contradiction
of sinners against himself, lest you should be wearied and faint
in your minds. Are you weary and faint? Of course
you are. Look to Christ again. Look to
Christ again. And see his great love for you. lest you should become weary
in your souls. Are you going for a particular
trial right now? Throw yourself, cast yourself
upon the care of your Redeemer. None of your troubles can separate
you from the love of God. I implore you, go home and read
the rest of that chapter. God challenges you right now. He gives you a whole list of
things and He tells you, will any of these separate you from
the love of God, from the love of Christ? Not one, not one,
not one thing in eternity, not one thing, not one thing in time,
not one thing in all creation can separate you from the love
of God in Christ. None of your troubles can separate
you. You who haven't known this sovereign
loving God drawing you to salvation, you know who you are. Do you
believe now? Do you find yourself believing
on the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ right now? Then God has
worked all things, all things, all things to this very moment,
all things together for your good, that you be found now in
His Son. Knowing that you are in His Son
from eternity past, but knowing now, experiencing His love. Then call upon the name of the
Lord now. right now and be saved.
