I want to read this to you this
morning, all 18 verses. This second epistle, beloved,
I now write unto you, in both which I stir up your pure minds
by way of remembrance, that ye may be mindful of the words which
were spoken before by the holy prophets and of the commandments
of us, the apostles of our Lord and Savior. Knowing this first,
that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking after
their own lust, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were
from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant,
that by the word of God the heavens were of old and the earth standing
out of the water and in the water, whereby the world that then was,
being overflowed with water, perished. But the heavens and
the earth which are now, by the same word, are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and the perdition,
the destruction of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant
of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack
concerning His promise, as some men would count slackness, but
is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night. in the which the heavens shall
pass away with great noise, and the elements shall melt with
ferment heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things
shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in
all holy conversation and godliness? Looking far and hastening unto
the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on
fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with
ferment heat. Nevertheless, we, according to
his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that
you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found
of him in peace, without spot and blameless. An account that
the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, even as our beloved
brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him,
hath written unto you. As also in all his epistles,
speaking in them of these very things, in which are some things
hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable
rest. as they do also the other scriptures
into their own destruction. Ye, therefore, beloved, seeing
that ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led
away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace and in the
knowledge of our Lord and our Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him
be glory both now and forever. Amen. It's obvious, it's obvious as
we read the Scripture and it's obvious in our everyday life,
that what you and I believe, what we know of the future, will
affect our present attitude. The Apostle Peter was speaking
here of the coming of the day of God. And in turn, he gives the effects
that this will have upon us. What men believe, what men understand
that will take place in the future always affects them presently.
The Apostle Paul was writing to the Corinthian church concerning
the resurrection, concerning the judgment that was to come.
And he said, there are some fools among you. There are some of
those who don't believe in the resurrection of Christ and the
resurrection of the body. And he said, because you don't
believe that, it's presently affecting your whole conduct,
the way you live, what you think. He said, some of you are saying
there's no resurrection of the dead. Therefore, let us eat and
drink and be married. Tomorrow we die. Tomorrow we're
annihilated. Tomorrow we cease to be. And
that's the way we're going to live. Peter comes here and he
tells us what you and I believe about the coming of the day of
God will affect our present attitude in this world. It always does. John said, now are we the sons
of God. Now we're the sons of God. We know it to be so. He's given
us the spirit of adoption. He's witnessed to our hearts.
He's made us His sons. It don't yet appear what we shall
be, but we know something. We're made to know something
that's going to take place in the future. We know He's coming. We know He's going to appear.
And when He does, we'll be like Him. Well, John, how does this
affect me now? As I live my life in this world,
I know He's coming. I know I'm going to be like Him.
How does such a hope affect me now? John said, every man that
hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as Christ is pure. And Peter comes here to verse
7, and he tells us about the coming of the judgment of God,
when He'll convince the wicked of their sin to their utter destruction. In verse 10, he tells us there
about the heavens passing away with a great noise, and the earth
and all the works that are in shall be burned up. And now he
comes here to verse 11, seeing that we look, seeing then that
all these things shall be dissolved. How does that affect us? How
does it affect us presently? Seeing that we know that we're
living in a world, an earth, that is waiting the utter destruction
of God. Seeing that we know that men
will be raised from their graves and stand before God to give
account of themselves. Seeing then that we know these
things. How does it affect us? What manner
of persons ought ye to be? And of course, he goes on in
verse 13. Nevertheless, we according to His promise, we look for new
heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. We look
for this. This is literal. He's not speaking
in a metaphor. He's not saying it'll be like
the church or it'll be like the new creatures in Christ. Brothers
and sisters, in some miraculous way, and I don't know how, This
earth is going to be cleansed by fire. All that we see now,
the heavens, the stars, the planets, the trees, the rivers, the seas,
all of this is going to be cleansed and there will be a new heaven
and a new earth. It will be a real heaven and
a real earth. God that made it in the beginning
looked at it and said it's good. And the Creator is going to make
it again, and it will be good, and it will be real. And Peter
says, how does this affect us? Wherefore, beloved, seeing that
we look for such things, be diligent, be sober, be careful that you
may be found of Him in peace. Peter writes these things to
us because he knows that believing these things, understanding these
things, living with a knowledge of this in our hearts, will affect
our daily lives. It will affect how we live in
this world. It will have a needful and positive
effect upon our attitude. But then he goes ahead here in
verse 17, and he tells us even though that we know these things,
we must live in the reality of them. Don't come to believe these
things and know these things and then become complacent, become
self-satisfied in this world. See what He tells us? Ye therefore,
beloved, seeing that ye know these things, you know them,
you know them now, you know them before they happen, beware lest
ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall
from your own. steadfastness. Now, you hear
the Armenians, and they stand up, and the first thing they
say, there it is, Brother Bruce, there it is, Pastor, you can
fall. We told you all along, and you
wouldn't believe us, but you can fall. Nobody didn't say that
you couldn't fall. The Scriptures don't say you
cannot fall. But what they mean, you're falling
away. Every time a poor free willer
reads the Bible and he sees a fall, he always wants to add a way,
doesn't he? Falling away. You'd think they'd
rejoice in such a thing as that. No, it's not a falling away.
Thank God for that. But brothers and sisters, when
you and I come here and we see it's not a falling away, don't
let us become complacent about it all. and say, well, since
I'll never fall away, then I shouldn't be concerned about it. Oh, it's
enough to fall, isn't it? It's bad enough if we're led
away in some sense with the air of the wicked and fall from our
steadfastness. You know the older I get, the
more careful I have to be with falling. Haven't some of you
got that way? You see our children, they run
around here and they fall, and they bounce back up, and they
take right off again. But when I got about 50 years
old or so, I fell two or three times, and it hurt. And there have been people who
fell because they were old, they never recovered from it. We have
a dear friend in the nursing home that fell and broke her
hip, and she'll never leave the nursing home. It changed her
life forever in this world. No, a believer cannot fall away,
but it hurts to fall. And it can affect your very life
and your existence in this world just to fall. The Apostle Peter
gives us three things here, and I want to confront you with them
this morning, just for a minute. He gives us three things that
will help us. It will keep us from falling.
It will keep us stable. That's what he wants. Brothers
and sisters, not only do we not want to fall, we want to be stable. I don't want to be led away.
with every false doctrine. I don't want to be upset in my
mind, wondering, doubtful, fearful. I want to be established. I want
to be settled. I want to enjoy the Lord. I want
to enjoy His salvation, fellowship with His people. I want to be
stable, don't you? I want a stable mind. I want
to live with the assurance that the Bible tells us we can. So
Peter gives us three things here to help us Keep us stable. First of all, it's here in verses
1 and verse 2. Look what he says. He said, I
write unto you both of these epistles. He said, I've written
unto you for this reason. I'm writing to stir up your pure
minds by way of remembrance. I'm writing to stir up your pure
minds. Now, brothers and sisters, that's
so important, to stir up your pure minds. What gives a person
a pure mind? The blood of Christ gives us
pure minds. It purges our conscience from
dead works to serve the living God. Faith in Christ gives us
pure minds. He's purified our hearts by faith. The Holy Spirit dwelling within
us gives us pure minds. Let this mind be in you that
was also in Christ Jesus. Be renewed in the spirit of your
mind, your right mind. If a man doesn't know the Lord
Jesus Christ, he's not in his right mind. He's crazy. It's only when the Lord saves
a man that he's in his right mind. Peter says, stir up your
right mind. Remember that Gadarene that was
sitting at our Lord's feet? He was clothed and in His right
mind. When the Lord saves us, He puts
us in our right mind. So Peter is saying here, I'm
not writing to stir up your double mind, or your doubtful mind,
or your carnal mind, but your sound mind, your spiritual mind. And how is he going to do that?
Well, look what he says. I want you to stir it up by way of remembrance. I want you to remember. Look
back over. This is one of Peter's favorite
words. He's used it in this epistle
before. In chapter 1, look at this in
verse 12. One of the easiest things to
do is to forget truth. One of the easiest things in
the world is to forget. I don't mean we totally forget
something, but when Peter talks about forgetting, he means this,
not living in the present reality of that. You've heard it before. It's been made real to you before,
but you forgot it. And when you stir up your present
mind by way of remembrance, it means the reality comes back
to you again. They tell us, well, they told
us about 9-11. Remember 2001, 9-11? When we were attacked and those
towers come down. Remember the unity we had as
a nation. Remember how patriotic everybody
became. Have we forgotten that time?
Our country, our government basically has forgotten it. So many people
have forgotten it. You say, Bruce, I remember that
day very well. But is it as vivid now as it
was then? Are you still living in that
present reality of what happened and therefore what could happen
again? We forget, don't we? And that's what Peter is reminding
us. Look here in verse 12. Wherefore, I will not be negligent
to put you always in remembrance of these things." That he'd been
talking about. Though you know them, and be
established in the present truth. See that? You bring what's in
the past that you knew back then, and you bring it up to the present.
And you say, man, it's still real. It's still real. Peter said, don't you forget
these things. Don't you forget them. I want to stir you up.
Look what he says in verse 13. Yea, I think it right, I think
it fit me as long as I am in my body, my tabernacle, to stir
you up by putting you in remembrance, knowing that I must shortly put
off this my tabernacle, even as the Lord Jesus Christ has
showed me. Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be able, after my
departure, my death, my decease, to have these things always in
remembrance." See what he's doing? He said, you know the Lord is
coming. The day of God is coming. The
wicked are going to be judged. All that you possess all around
you is going to be burned up. It's going to pass away with
fire. Remember this, he said. Don't let this get out of your
memory. Live every day in the present
thought that this may be the day that this happens. Live this
day as this is going to be the last day you live in this world. That's what Peter said. Every Sunday afternoon, you and
I partake of the Lord's Supper. And there's a reason we do that.
Because we forget Christ. You say, Bruce, I've never forgotten
Him since He saved me. No, in that sense, you never
will forget Him. But I tell you what He did on
that cross. Pouring out His blood, giving
up His dying breath. We don't always hold that in
our memory, do we? Therefore, He give us this bread,
He give us this wine. And He said, when you take that
broken bread in your hand, and when you take that little cup
of wine, and you're ready to drink it, and you look at that,
you're going to remember Me. You're going to see, there's
my body, there's my blood, and you're going to remember. Our
whole body never gets weary when He passes out that communion
of standing before us as He does almost every Sunday and tells
us, here's our Lord's crushed body. Why does He have to do
that? Because we forget. We forget
in the sense that we don't live in the present reality of it
all. And we have to be stirred up. How is our memory stirred up?
Well, he says here in chapter 3, look back at it in verse 2, that you may be mindful of the
words which were spoken before of the holy apostles and of the
commandment of us, the apostles, of the Lord and Savior. What do we call to memory? What's
written in this book? Aren't you glad that God has
left us His Word? Peter said in chapter 2, he recalled
when him and Peter, when him and James and John was upon the
Mount of Transfiguration, and the Lord Jesus was transfigured
before them, His face began to glow, and Peter said, we saw
His Majesty. I saw His majesty. I got just
a glimpse of what He's going to be when He goes and sets down
by His Father's side. He's going to outshine the sun
in His brightness. There's not going to be any need
of the sun to light this universe. The Lamb shall light with His
own glory, with His own self. Peter said, I got a glimpse of
it. And he said, I heard a voice from heaven and I knew it was
the eternal God that said, this is my beloved son. Hear him. I'm pleased in him. Peter said,
I saw that with my eyes and I heard it with my ears. There's no doubt
about it. But you know what he began to
do? Like we all do, he began to forget
it. He began to age. And he said,
you know, I can't recall the reality of that. I know it. I saw it. But you know, time
dulls the eyes and the ears, doesn't it? What we've experienced
in the past, sometimes we can't live in the reality of it in
the present. Aren't you thankful, brothers
and sisters, for this book? Yes, I forget. I forget. But when I do, what do I do?
I go back and I pick up this book. And I refresh my memory
by reading it. I wasn't there when Peter saw
and heard, but I can go here and read about it afresh. I didn't see my Savior, and you
didn't either. Lift up His dying voice and say,
It's finished! But don't you love to come here
and read it and say, Yes! Yes, it's finished. I couldn't live without my Bible,
could you? I've got to have it. I've got to open it up. It's
something I can feel. It's something I can see. Memory. Memory. It fills us. So we come here and stir up.
Our pure minds again, by reading it again. Peter said, I'm not
hesitant. I'm not embarrassed at all about
telling you to remember. Remember, remember, remember. Stir up your mind by way of remembering. Brothers and sisters, if you
feel yourself getting too close to this world, being bogged down
and overwhelmed with its cares, then come here again. and read
this Word afresh, these things that you see with your eyes and
hold with your hands, it's going to be taken away from you. It's
going to be burned up. Hold it with a loose hand. God's
going to burn it. He's going to burn it. I have a little place marked
up in our neighborhood. about a two-mile track that I
try to walk almost every day of the week. It's about two miles.
And it takes me right through the cemetery. I made a point
of making sure that I go through the midst of that cemetery every
day. And there's a reason I do that,
brothers and sisters, because I forget there's where I'm going
to be soon. There is no doubt in my mind
that I am walking right by the graves of others who have walked
right where I walk. And there is no doubt in my mind
that soon I am going to be laying there and some other people are
going to be walking by me. I want to walk through the place
of the dead. I want to see those gravestones
with the names and the dates on them. I want to be reminded. I've got to know. I've got to
stir up because I forget I'm going to die. Peter gives us something else
in verse 12. First of all, he tells us, I
don't want you to forget. I don't want you to forget what's
coming. Therefore, I want you to stir
up your pure minds by way of remembrance. Go read this. Every day read it if you need
to. Read it again and re-read it. And secondly, He gives us something
else here in verse 12. And it has to do with our hope
Looking for, looking for, and eagerly awaiting, hastening
unto the coming of the day of God. He goes on to say, looking,
that has to do with our hope. Stir up yourself by looking. Looking for the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Savior. This word, looking, means to
watch, to anticipate, to wait for. Our conversation is in heaven
from whence we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. You come
behind, Paul said, in no gift, waiting for the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Looking and waiting, it has to
do with our hope. The Master said, Watch ye therefore,
for you know not in what hour your Lord doth come. If the good
man of the house had known in what hour the thief would come,
he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be
broken up. Therefore, he said, be ye always
ready, be always looking, be always watching, be always hoping. Look back over to your left with
me in the passage the Apostle Paul was talking about. 1 Thessalonians,
chapter 5. You know, waiting and watching
and looking for somebody is not an easy task to do. Have you
ever had somebody promise you that they were coming to your
house? And even though you knew they were good to their word,
Sometimes you grew weary with watching. You'd get up and you'd
go to the window and you'd look and you'd sit down and you'd
get up and go open the door and look out. It was always on your
mind because somebody had told you, I'm coming to your house.
And even though it was difficult to watch and to wait, you stirred
yourself up to watch and wait and to look. Look here what Paul
is saying. And let me say this about Peter's
coming of the day of God. It's the same coming that Paul
said, the coming of the day of the Lord. We have been faced
with so much confusion about the coming of our Lord. People have got so carried away
with this seven years of tribulation and the mark of the beast. The
rebuilding of the temple, and the priesthood and the sacrifices
being reestablished, and Israel being regathered. People have
got so carried away with this, they have forgot a person is
coming. Our Lord is coming. And Peter
said it's the coming of the day of God. Paul sometimes calls
it the coming of the day of Christ. And there's no difference, brothers
and sisters. It's the last day. The very last
day, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our God incarnate, He's coming. He's coming. And Peter says He's
coming as a thief in the night. Therefore, watch for Him. The
Master says, I'm coming as a thief in the night. Therefore, stay
awake. Watch for Me. I'm coming. I'm
coming. And look how Paul says it here
in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 and verse 1. He just told them there in chapter
4 that the Lord was coming. He was bringing those that were
there with Him, the souls of the saints. He was going to raise
the dead. They were going to be forever
with the Lord. And then he goes on in chapter 5, but he says,
Of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write
unto you. For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord, the day of God, the day of Christ,
comes as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace
and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon
a woman with child, and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren,
ye are not in darkness, that that day should approach you
as a thief. You are the children of light.
You are the children of the day. You are not of the night nor
of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as
do others, but let us watch. Let us be sober. For he that
sleeps, sleeps in the night, and they that be drunken are
drunken in the night. But let us who are of the day
be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love. And for an
inhalement, the hope of salvation. And look at verse 9. For God
hath not appointed us to wrath, but He has appointed us to salvation. A full and eternal salvation
by our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus is coming to finish
the work that He began. The work that we've been appointed
to. Therefore, brothers and sisters, stay awake. Watch. Be sober. Why, Bruce? Because there's a danger you
can be led away with the error of the wicked. What does that
mean? I don't know, but it doesn't sound good, does it? There's
a chance that we may fall. Let him that thinketh, he standeth.
Take heed. Take heed. Beware lest he fall
and break a bone or crack his skull. or injure his back and
go limping, waiting and watching and looking
for something. It's not always easy to do. I'll admit that. But I tell you, when you know
the good that's coming, And if you're watching and waiting and
longing for someone to come that you admire and you love, it'll
be worth the wait. It'll be worth the wait. You
wait. You watch. You'll see. It'll be worth the wait. You wait. You watch. You'll see. It'll be worth the wait. Look
over here at another portion of Scripture with me before I
go to my last part. Look here in Isaiah chapter 25.
Isaiah chapter 25. This is speaking of the coming
of our Lord, our Incarnate God. Isaiah 25 and look in verse 7. He will destroy in this mountain
The face of the covering cast over all people. Oh, there's
a veil now. This veil that's spread over
all nations. We see it, don't we? The devil
has blinded the minds. The entire nation's deceived
by sin, ready to perish. There's coming a day when this
veil is going to be lifted completely. Every man's going to see them.
Every man's going to bow to the blessed Son of God. and confess
to Him. And these darkened understandings
that so afflict you and I, at best we see through a glass darkly. Brothers and sisters, there's
coming an hour when that will be lifted. And we'll know, oh,
we'll know in that day. In verse 8, He will swallow up
death in victory. And the Lord God will wipe away
tears from all faces. And the rebuke of his people
shall be taken away from off all the earth, for the Lord has
spoken it. And it shall be said in that
day, Lo, this is our God. This is our incarnate God. We have waited for Him, and He
will save us. This is the Lord. We have waited
for Him. We will be glad and rejoice in
His salvation. Brothers and sisters, stay awake.
Stir yourself up. Keep waiting. Keep looking. And you'll see. You'll see. And someday you'll say, Yes,
I waited. And this is my God that I waited
for. And He's come to save me. You'll
see. You'll see. One last thing Peter
gives us to help us, he tells us in verse 18, stir
up your mind, your pure minds, by way of remembrance, read his
Bible, read his Word slowly, read it prayerfully, stir up
your memory by the Word of God. Always be looking. Always be
hoping. Watching. Waiting. And lastly,
he tells us this. And brothers and sisters, if
you and I by His grace will do this, we'll be kept from the
air of the wicked. We won't fall. But grow, in verse
18, but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and
our Savior, Jesus Christ. He tells us two things, grow
in grace and in the knowledge. Grow in the grace of Jesus Christ. Grow in grace. In His Christ's
grace. Grow in that grace. And He is
full of it. We beheld His glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace. How much grace is there if Jesus
Christ is full of it? His heart is bigger than this
universe, and yet His heart is full of grace. Grace. And we are told to come to the
throne of grace. That we may find grace. There
is grace in Christ. Grace to strengthen us. Grace
to help us. Grace to cause us to grow. Grace. Free, sovereign grace. Grow in grace. Be strong in this
grace that's in the Lord Jesus Christ. And he said, grow in knowledge.
Grow in knowledge. And look, grow in knowledge of
who? Our Lord and our Savior. Our Savior, Jesus Christ. There is a sovereign God. He does what He pleases. He's
a sovereign Creator. You see His glory manifest in
creation. You see it manifest in province. But I've got to know Him as my
Savior. When I think and when you think of what's coming very
shortly, that this world and universe as we know it is going
to be cleansed by fire. I can't imagine what a noise
that's going to be. It's going to be cleansed. It's
going to be set on fire. It's going to be burned up by
the presence of God Himself. Because He is a consuming fire.
And when you and I think of such an event that's going to take
place, we would be absolutely filled with dread to think about
such a thing. Who can abide with consuming
fire? Who can abide when this world
is on fire and passes away? What a comforting truth this
is of who's coming. It's our Savior. We must know
that, that it's our Savior, the One who loved us, the One who
gave Himself for us, the One who ever lives to plead our cause
with the Father, the One who keeps us by His power, the One
who has purpose to save us, and the One who is coming to finish
that purpose. Do you know Him? Do you know
that it has been His purpose to save you? You surely don't
think that He saved you by accident. Don't you know Him any better
than that? You surely got to know that He
saved you on purpose. He called you on purpose. Do
you know Him? Do you know who He really is? Do
you know where He's at? Do you know what He's doing there?
Do you know what He is yet going to do? Grow in the knowledge
of the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. And then you won't fall. Do you love Him? Have you come
to Him? Are you coming to Him? Are you
cleaving to Him? Is He everything to you? Is He
your salvation, your life, your hope, your access, your righteousness? Is He everything? You know the
way to keep from being led astray? Stay close to Christ. You know
how to keep from falling? You know how to keep from falling?
Fall into His arms. Fall right on Him and you'll
fall never again. You fall into His arms and you'll
fall no further. Cast yourself upon Him Depend
upon Him, and brothers and sisters, you'll never fall. You believe
that He's able to hold you? Is He able to support your weight?
I mean, all your infirmities, all your weaknesses, all your
sins that you feel and don't feel, can He support you? Do you know Him? I tell you what
will keep you from being led away. Learn of Christ. Learn of Him. And stay in close
to Him and cleave unto Him. You'll never fall. You'll never
fall. One last verse. I'll read it
to you. Come, my people. Come, my people. He has the people. And He says
to them, Enter thou into thy chambers." Enter into me. Enter into my decrees. Enter
into my promises. Enter into my works. Enter into
my offices. Enter into thy chambers and shut
the doors about thee. Hide thyself, as it were, for
just a little moment until the indignation Be overpassed. For the Lord Jehovah is coming
out of His place to punish the inhabitants of this earth for
their iniquity. And then the earth shall discover
her blood and uncover her slain. Get in Christ. Abide there. And cleave to Him. And you're
safe. You're safe. Our Father, O our Father, we come unto You, unto the throne
of grace, our Father in heaven, addressing You as our Father,
our tender, merciful Father, looking for a day, a time that
You've told us of. that we cannot begin to lay hold
upon, but we believe it. And we've got but one place,
Lord Jesus, to hide ourselves. Oh, grant us grace, we ask of
You, to hide in You. Hide us there in Yourself. Oh,
we think of Your awful wrath, and it makes us afraid. We think
of this world passing away with a great noise, And how can we
possibly abide such a day? But Lord Jesus, if you'll let
us see ourselves in you, we'll fear nothing. Let heaven be removed
and let the earth be removed. Let the mountains be removed
and cast into the sea. We'll not fear. God is our refuge
in our present heaven. Oh, blessed Savior, thank You
for this Word. Thank You for encouragement.
Thank You for warnings. Thank You for stirring us up.
Give us no rest until we rest in You. Amen.
