I like things I can count on,
people I can count on, people that are predictable, people
I can depend on. I hope that I am such a person
that you can just bank on expecting certain things. I suspect that
on almost any given situation, on almost any given issue of
any significance at all, my family and you who know me might well
anticipate what I think of them, how I would respond to them.
I like to be dependable and I like things and people I can depend
on. I don't much like change. and
I despise any lack of dependability. To me, nothing is more comforting,
nothing more assuring, nothing more peaceful than the dependability
of our God and the gospel of his free grace. I rejoice to
know that our God is immutable. He does not change, and he cannot
be changed in any way to any degree. He says, I am the Lord,
I change not. Therefore, you sons of Jacob
are not consumed. The Lord Jesus Christ, God our
Savior, is immutable. He doesn't change. He cannot
be changed in any degree by anything. He changes things, but he doesn't
change. He is Jesus Christ the same yesterday
and today and forever and the grace of God. Oh, blessed be
his name. The grace of God is immutable. It doesn't change and it cannot
be changed. Not by you, not by me, not by
circumstances, not by anything. Whatsoever the Lord doeth, it
shall be done forever. And God doeth it that men should
fear before him. Because we worship the immutable
God. Because we've been redeemed by
an immutable Savior. Because we're saved by immutable
grace. Our faith is a matter of certainty. Our religion is a matter of certainty. And our hope is a matter of certainty. I know that many people simply
cannot tolerate dogmatism about anything. And there's a reason
for that. They don't know anything certain.
There's nothing certain about their God, nothing certain about
their faith, nothing certain about their religion. Not so
with God's people. Faith in Christ is not ambiguity. Faith in Christ is not a supposition. Faith in Christ is not guesswork. Faith in Christ is the well-grounded
confidence of the believing heart that God is true. Now that's
worth remembering. Faith in Christ is the well-grounded
confidence of the believing heart that God is true. Having received
the testimony of God, we have set this seal to our hearts.
God is true. Do you believe that? That God
is true. Absolutely true. Always true. If you do, you'll have no difficulty
receiving the message of Romans chapter eight. Let's open our
Bibles there and look one more time at this eighth chapter of
the Apostle Paul in his epistle of the Romans. Romans chapter
eight. And I want you today to just
hold your Bibles open on your laps. I hope you have a piece
of paper and you can write down 10 things. I'm going to make
10 statements. The title of my message is 10
Blessed Impossibilities. I want you to see from the word
of God right here in Romans chapter eight, 10 blessed impossibilities
revealed by God the Holy Spirit in these 39 verses. 10 things
that are absolutely impossible. 10 things absolutely impossible,
number one. It is impossible, it is impossible
for any sinner believing on the Lord Jesus Christ to be condemned. It is impossible for any sinner
believing on the Lord Jesus Christ to be condemned. Romans 8 verse
one, there is therefore now, This is not something that's
going to happen tomorrow. This is not something put off
till tomorrow. There is, therefore, right now, right now, right now,
no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Why is that? Because we walk not after the
flesh, but after the spirit. That is, we have been born again.
We have a new life by grace in Christ Jesus. God, the Holy Spirit,
has caused us to be new creatures in Christ. Christ has taken up
residence in us. And now we don't live after the
flesh, but rather after the Spirit. That is to say, we do not seek
acceptance with God on the basis of what we do. That's what it
is to live after the flesh. Now people have the idea living
after the flesh is living like Mr. Trump talks. And that's certainly
corrupt and vile. That's certainly so. But that's
not what this is talking about. Living after the flesh, Mark,
is trying to find a way to make yourself acceptable to God. Trying to do something. to make
yourself holy, to make yourself righteous, to make yourself good,
so that God in heaven will look down on you and smile. Not so
with the believer. We walk not after the flesh,
but after the spirit. We trust Christ alone for everything. all our righteousness, all our
redemption, all our forgiveness, all our salvation, all our acceptance
with God. I've had folks, as you are aware,
many times over the years, get upset, come sit down here and
listen to your pastor preach and walk out the door all, I
mean, just mad, mad. And he says, I'm not saved. I've
never said somebody's not saved. I wouldn't look at you and say,
you're not saved. I don't know, I don't know. But they have concluded
because of what the scriptures declare. And I've simply said
to them what the scriptures declare. If what he says is so, then I'm
not saved, so they get mad at me. This is what the scriptures
teach. Salvation is not by works, it's
by grace. Grace embraced, received, enjoyed,
lived upon by faith in Jesus Christ. How is it that we cannot
be condemned? Because we're free from the law
of sin and death. Free from the law of sin, which
results in death. free from the law, O happy condition,
Jesus hath bled, and there is remission. There's no possibility
of condemnation, not by the law, not even by our sins, past, present,
or future, because Christ satisfied the law's demands, because we
fulfill the law's demands by faith in Christ. Now what does
it mean when it says we fulfill the law? We come to God helpless,
poor, bankrupt sinners. Can you? Nothing in my hands
I bring, simply to thy cross I cling. Dare you come to God
with nothing but Christ? That's what it is to fulfill
the law. That's what it is. I've told you before, and Brother
Bruce won't mind me telling you, his father was a Church of God
preacher, just Arminian to the core. and he was dying and Bruce
tried to minister to him and he said, he said, Dad, you've
got to give up your righteousness and trust Christ. And his dad
looked at him lying on his deathbed and he said, you mean take nothing of mine to God? You mean God won't receive my
righteousness, my works, my goodness? I can't give that up. You got
to give it up. All your goodness, all your righteousness,
all that you think makes you special to God, all that you
think makes you stand out as one, God will accept and recognize
and receive. Now this is exactly what Paul
tells us in Romans 8 verses 1 through 4. Let's read the next three
verses. There's therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh
but after the spirit. For the law of the spirit of
life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and
death. For what the law could not do, What the law could not
do, the law could not put away sin. The law could not accept
us. The law could not make us righteous.
The law could not make us holy. In that it was weak through the
flesh. God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh
and for sin, because of sin, because he was made sin for us. Condemned sin in the flesh. that
the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who
walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. Number two,
it is impossible for any unbeliever ever to please God. It is impossible for any unbeliever
ever to please God. We tend to bring up our children deceiving them with a lot of
things. And we try to motivate them to do good. And often say
to them, do this because this pleases God. Don't do that because
that doesn't please God. And it's wrong to do that. Behave
this way because it's right. Don't behave this way because
it's wrong. That's simple enough. Do this because daddy said do
it. That's good enough. for any father and any child. Don't do this because I said
don't do it. That's good enough for any father
and any child. That's the way things ought to
be in every household. But never, never, never suggest
to a lost child, one who doesn't know God, now if you do this,
you'll please God. They that live after the flesh
cannot please God. Romans 8 verse five. For they
that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh. But
they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit. For
to be carnally minded, to be governed by your old Adamic fallen
nature is death. But to be spiritually minded,
to be governed by God the Holy Ghost dwelling in you is life
and peace. Because the carnal mind, your
natural self, Your natural thinking, your natural heart, your natural
disposition, the carnal mind, everything about the atom nature
is enmity against God. Not at enmity, not crosses ways
with God, not doesn't like the things of God. Everything about
David Peterson by nature and that beautiful little granddaughter
hates God. That's what he's saying. Everything
about the carnal nature of man is directly opposed to and hates
God. Man would, if he could, shove
God off his throat and set himself there. And that's displayed in
the speech of men, in the actions of men, all the time. Read on.
For it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can
be the carnal mind. The carnal mind, the wicked are
estranged from the womb. They go astray as soon as they
are born, speaking lies. Now watch what it says. So then,
they that are in the flesh cannot God. They, they're in the flesh,
cannot please God. Brother Don, if we, if we can't
do anything to please God, If our Bible reading and church
attendance and missionary work and good works and prayers and
taking the Lord's table and getting baptized, if that doesn't please
God, how on earth can a man please God? Let's see what God says.
Turn to Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews chapter 11. How on earth
can I please God? Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a good report. What? By it the elders obtained a good
report. Not a good report from men. Not
a good report among men. A good report from God. In their
own consciences. In their own hearts. Through
faith we understand, through faith we understand that the
worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which
are seen were not made by things which do appear. You're not one
of those feeble-minded folks who believe
God created everything, are you? Yeah, I am, I am. How on earth can you believe
that? I laugh at folks who don't. I'm
not challenged by them. I laugh at them. I laugh at them. How can you believe you just
evolved out of a pile of mud? And here you are. Well, that's
nonsense. Well, how can you believe God
created that? I believe God. Creation is not a problem with
God. Creation's not a difficulty with God. Creation poses no difficulty
at all with God. The worlds were framed by the
word of God. God said that there'd be light
and there was light. So that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear. By faith Abel offered unto God
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness
that he was righteous. Now watch what it says. Here's
the witness that he was righteous. God testifying of his gifts.
How did God testify of his gifts? He received it. He embraced it. He took it. When you come to
God and you find acceptance with God through faith in his son,
you have this testimony that you please God. God receives
you and God gives you the testimony by his spirit testifying, witnessing
your spirit that you belong to God. He gives you peace. I was speaking to Bobby this
morning, walked in, one of his dear friends dying. I said to him, it's hard for a
man to die without hope. I've got a sister dying with
cancer. Another one just this week, taken to hospital, had
a heart attack and had to have emergency bypass surgery. I want you to die comfortably. I want to make it easy for you
to die, Randall. So you lay on the bed of Christ's
perfect atonement and stretch yourself on it. and wrap yourself
in the coverings, wide, wide coverings of his perfect righteousness
and be at peace. How you gonna get that? Believe
on the Son of God. Give up your works. Give up your
goodness and believe on the Son of God. Read on. Verse five,
Hebrews 11. By faith Enoch was translated
that he should not see death. and was not found because God
translated him. For before his translation, he
had this testimony, same testimony as Abel, very same testimony
God's people had today, that he pleased God. Testimony from
God in his conscience, everything's all right, your sins are gold,
righteousness is yours, everything's all right, read on. He had this
testimony that he pleased God, but without faith. It is impossible
to please him. For he that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of them that
diligently seek him. Romans eight again. Look at verses
nine through 16. Here's the third thing. It is
impossible, it is impossible for a child of God to live under
the dominion of sin. Ooh, now what's that talking
about? Verse nine. Ye are not in the flesh, but
in the spirit. If so be the spirit of God dwell
in you. Verse 10. If Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because
of righteousness. Verse 15, you have not received
the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the
spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The spirit
itself beareth witness with our spirit that we're the children
of God. God the Holy Spirit comes in
sovereign mercy. and gives the sinner life. Some of you sitting here today
have expressed to me many times over the years a desire to trust Christ. Now, understand me well. That's
your responsibility. You must believe on the Son of
God. You must, but you can't. That doesn't even lie within
the realm of possibility. You're dead in trespasses and
insanity. And you struggle with guilt.
Oppressing guilt. Oppressing guilt. You're scared
to death to meet God. Guilt. Horrid, horrid, horrid
guilt. Guilt that terrifies you. Guilt
that makes you afraid to even think about dying. Guilt, guilt,
guilt. But then God comes by his spirit
and drops Christ in your soul. How do you know? How do you know
that now you have life from God? How do you know that now You're
forgiven of all sin. How do you know that now Christ
is made of God unto you righteousness? Because the Spirit causes you
to believe. And you find yourself believing
God and you've been all your life bowed down before God. Terrified to even look up toward
God? Terrified at the thought of death
and judgment now? You lift your heart to God in
heaven and say, my Father. My Father, believing on Christ,
you have the Spirit's testimony in you that you're God's. Saved
sinners cannot live under the dominion of sin. Now let me tell
you what it is to live under the dominion of sin. You live
under the dominion of sin when you live after your lust, by
your will, doing what you want to, thinking that you can not
sin. Thinking that it's possible for
you not to sin, at least sometimes. You live under the dominion of
sin as long as you have any sense of dread and fear and terror
because of the guilt of sin pressing on your conscience. That's what
it is to live under the dominion of sin, not the believer. You
see, we have the Spirit of Christ. We, through the Spirit, mortify
the deeds of the flesh. We're led by the Spirit of God.
We've received the Spirit of adoption, and we have the seal
of the Spirit in us, having removed from us that terrible, terrible,
terrible, oppressive, unbearable guilt. Now, I'm not guilty. I'm not guilty. In my old age,
I have slowed down. I started to slow down when I
was a much younger man because I found out that it cost a lot to drive
too fast. Now let me tell you what I mean.
Ten minutes after I got my driver's license when I was 16 years old,
on the way home, I got a ticket. Before I had had my driver's
license a month, I lost them for a month. And I got them back
and had them for a month and lost them for 60 days. And I
got them back and had them for a month and lost them for 90
days. Do you know how I spent my life driving? Looking all the time. Where is
he? Trying to avoid the law all the time. Shelby and I got married
until I was 25 years old. I paid my highest bill for anything
in my life. I paid for a signed risk insurance
to drive. I paid more just to drive one
car from 16 to 25 than I paid for insurance for Shelby and
me and Faith, all three to drive our own cars when Faith turned
16. So I learned it cost a lot. And I quit having to drive, always
wondering where's the speed trap? Where's that policeman? Where
is he? How come? Because as long as you're not
breaking the law, you don't have to be afraid of the law. Did
you get that? That's simple enough, isn't it?
As long as you're not breaking the law, you don't have to be
afraid of the law. No reason to be afraid. No reason to be
afraid. Huh, here come the police. What's
going on? I don't know. We'll open the door and find
out. We're not gonna hide from them. Not breaking the law. Not
breaking the law. Hear me. God testifies in every
believer's heart. Not guilty. Not guilty. Not guilty. Not guilty. So the
believer is freed from the dread and curse of the law. Number
four. Look at verses 17 through 25.
It is impossible for a redeemed sinner not to obtain the full,
complete inheritance of God's free grace. And if children,
then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Verse 18, I reckon, I reckon,
I reckon that the sufferings of this present time, whatever God has in store for
me, whatever God in his providence
brings to me, wherever God takes me, whatever I experience that
may be related to this thing called sufferings, bodily pain,
mental pain, social pain, domestic pain, darkness, confusion, sickness,
whatever it is, the sufferings of this present time are not
worthy to be put in the same balance. not worthy to be compared
with the glory that shall be revealed in us. Nothing here counts for much. Glory is everything. And God's
people, every sinner who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, Can
you believe him? Do you find yourself believing?
Oh, God help you to believe him now. Every sinner who believes
on the Lord Jesus Christ, it is impossible for even one of
them not to obtain the complete full inheritance of all the riches
of God's grace in heavenly glory. Christ earned them for us. Did
you get that? Christ earned them for us. When
he was about to leave this world in the 17th chapter of John,
we read his prayer. He said, Father, the hour has
come. Glorify thy son that thy son also may glorify thee. He
said, give me the glory that I had with you before the world
was, because this was all done from eternity. All done in the
covenant transactions of the triune God. But now our Savior
has come on this earth and he's finished the works God gave him
to do. What works? Walk before me and
be holy. Be thou perfect, for I am perfect. The very things God commanded
Abraham, works of perfect righteousness for 33 years. The God-man, our
mediator, walked on this earth in a body of flesh just like
this. and loved God with all his heart,
all his soul, all his mind, all his being, and loved his neighbor
as he loved himself. Don Ranere, I can't even comprehend
what that includes, let alone do it. Can you? I'll tell you what you
do. You explain to me when you go
out the door this morning. You explain to me what all's
involved in loving your neighbor as you love yourself. You tell
me that. I've been studying it for nearly
50 years. I ain't got it figured out yet. I can't get my hands
around it. I can't get my mind around it.
I just can't do it. It's far beyond me, but Christ
did it as a man in a body of flesh just like this. And he
didn't do it for himself, he did it for me. He didn't just
do it for me, I did it in him. One with him, in union with him
as my representative. That means, that means I have
fulfilled every righteous demand of God himself in his son. And then he took my sin in his
own body. and suffered all the hail of
God's wrath, took all the fury of the triune
God in his and was made to suffer until justice was satisfied.
And now he has satisfied the justice of God. Wait, wait, wait,
wait. I have satisfied the justice of God. Now let me tell you what I couldn't
say with a sane mind and no sane man could possibly say if it
weren't written in this book. God in heaven has no reason ever
to be angry with me. Not until he's angry with his
son. Because I'm in his son. I believe his son. You understand
what I'm talking about? This is called free salvation in Christ
the Redeemer. That means that I'm going to
inherit by right. everything the God-man Jesus
Christ inherited as the reward of his obedience. Now, I'm not
guessing about that because this is what the Savior also said.
He said, the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them. So that all
that God put under his feet, Oh, the glory of the reward of
his obedience is my reward and my obedience, the reward of my
obedience, obedience in him. I reckon that the sufferings
of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us. Soon, soon, the Lord Jesus is gonna make me completely whole. Completely whole. Look at verse
23. We ourselves grow within ourselves
waiting for the adoption. That is waiting for the redemption
of the body. Verse 25. If we hope for that
we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Oh, God teach me
with confident patience to just wait. Just wait. Soon my day comes and I'll be
gone. And there's no reason to dread
that day, but rather to anticipate it. Number five, verse 26. It is impossible for a believer's
prayers not to be heard and answered by God. Now I could spend a long,
long time dealing with this next verse. Verses 26 and 27. And
there needs be much said about it. People have the idea that
somehow or another, if you just get God in a arm lock, his arm
twisted behind his back, we gang up on him, we can force God to
do stuff. Or if you say a prayer, oh, please don't ever ask me
to say a prayer for you. You're liable to have me preach
to you. Say a prayer for me. I don't
say prayers. I hope you don't. Let's memorize
a little prayer and teach the children to repeat their prayers. A prayer ain't nothing like most
folks think it is. Look what it says. Likewise,
the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities. We're weak, sinful flesh. For we know not what we should
pray for as we ought. We don't ever know what to pray
for. We don't ever know what to pray for. We don't ever know
what to pray for. I don't mean something that we
don't ever know what to pray for. We don't ever know what's
best, what's right until God shows us. We don't ever know.
We don't ever know. But the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. The
Spirit of God pleads inside us with groanings which can't be
uttered. How often do you try to pray
for someone or for some situation and you know while you're praying,
all you're doing is making noise. And I'm not suggesting don't
try to pray for me. I urge you, I plead with you,
do. But how to pray? What to pray for? We don't know
except as God the Spirit directs us. And then we don't, ourselves,
know how to speak to God as we ought. But this, our Savior taught
us to pray. Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done on earth, even as it is in heaven. Forgive us this day.
Forgive us our sins and give us this day our daily bread. Lead us not into temptation. pray for God's glory, for God's
will, for the building of God's kingdom, the saving of God's
people, the forgiveness of God's mercy, the sustaining of God's
grace, and what you need day by day, committing yourself to
God's will. And he that searcheth the heart
The Lord Jesus, he knows the mind of the spirit. He knows
what you really want in your soul because he maketh intercession
for the saints according to the will of God. Number six, it is
impossible for any evil to happen to God's elect. We know that
all things work together, verse 28. We know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to his purpose. The wise man said, there shall
no evil happen to the just. and nothing evil can happen to
the just because God, according to Hosea 2, verse 18, has made
with all creation a covenant for us, so that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to those who are the
called according to his purpose. Therefore, because God has declared
that he made a covenant with all his creation for us, Therefore,
no weapon formed against us shall prosper. I would, God, I could just get
a little bit of that. No weapon formed against thee
shall prosper. I've seen it over and over and
over again. I've seen, I've seen men devise
evil and God turn it to good over and over and over again. Why let anything bother you?
Why let anything upset you? It's impossible for anything
evil to happen to any sinner who believes on the Son of God.
Can't happen. But Brother Don, you've buried
folks you love. and watched them go to hell,
I have, with broken heart. You've had sickness and pain,
I have, I have. You've held the hand of someone
you love going through great difficulty, I have, I have. And I'm gonna tell you what I've
never experienced. Nothing evil, only good. Nothing evil, only good. Brother Scott Richardson rightly
observed not long before God took him out of this world. Had
we the power of God, we would change everything. Had we the wisdom of God, we
would change nothing. Our God does all things right
and he does all things well. Number seven, it is impossible
for the purpose of our great God, the God of all grace, to
fail. It is impossible for the purpose
of God to fail. The first time I ever heard anyone
preach from Romans 8, 29, 30, Shelby and I had been married
very long and there was a tall, skinny fellow who walked into
the services where Brother Dan Park's father was pastor. Hillcrest
Baptist Church where we were members in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. I'd never seen him before. And Brother Parks asked
him if he'd preach that night. And he did, they got him introduced
to him. His name was Harry Graham, lived right there in Winston-Salem.
Harry and I became dear, dear friends. He said, he said, let's
open our Bibles, Romans 8, 29. And I wanna talk to you about
the golden chain of grace. Here is a chain, pure gold. with just five links, but its
links are links that reach from eternity to eternity. And no
link in the chain can be broken. It's called the chain of God's
purpose. Now look at the five links of
this chain. Whom he did foreknow. Those whom God loved with an
everlasting love. That's what the word foreknow
refers to. Then he also did predestinate. He predestinated every chosen
center, everyone he loved from eternity to be conformed to the
image of his son that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Number three, moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he
also called. He called them as his sons and
daughters. He called them by his grace.
And number four, whom he called, then he also justified. Made just before God. And number
five, whom he justified, then he also glorified. God's purpose
is the everlasting salvation of all his people, and God's
purpose will never fail. Number eight, verse 33. It is
impossible for any sin ever to be charged to God's elect. Who shall lay anything to the
charge of God's elect? Bring them all, bring them all.
It is God that justifies. I love the fact that that word
justifies used here in what's called the linear tense, the
present continual tense. That is that God, having justified
his people in Christ from eternity, having justified us by his obedience
unto death as our representative and substitute, continually justifies
his own in the experience of grace. So that if any man say
it, if any man say it, Well, you gotta start all over again.
If any man sin, you gotta bring another sacrifice. If any man
sin, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, oh no! If any man sin,
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous,
and he's the propitiation for our sins, and through his precious
blood, God constantly says, justified, justified, justified. Blessed
is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. It is impossible. Now listen
to me. It is impossible for any blood-bought,
justly ransomed, divinely redeemed sinner. It is impossible for
anyone for whom Christ has made atonement to suffer the wrath
of God. Impossible. In the last few weeks,
I have, with deliberate purpose, put articles in our bulletin
with regard Our Lord's particular redemption, his definite effectual
atonement, because this is the crucial issue of the gospel. Either Christ redeemed his people,
or they're yet under their sins. And if he redeemed everybody,
then we can close up and go home, everybody's going to heaven no
matter what. It's impossible for any sinner for whom Christ
died to ever suffer the wrath of God, verse 34. Who is he that
condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea,
rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand
of God, who also maketh intercession for us. The Lord Jesus Christ
has fully accomplished our salvation. He has, with his own blood, entered
in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption
for us. Number 10. impossible for a saved
sinner. It is impossible for a sinner
who believes on the Son of God to be separated from the love
of God. Who shall separate us, verse
35, from the love of Christ? I'm persuaded, Paul says, nothing
in heaven, nothing in earth, nothing in hell can possibly
do so. It's impossible. Having loved
his old, which were in the world, he loved them to the end. Now, I didn't miss verses 31
and 32 accidentally. I held them till now. What shall we then say to these
things? If God be for us, who can be
against us? He that spared not his own son,
but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also
freely give us all things? Oh, would to God you could go
home with this confident faith in our dependable God and Savior
