Good evening. If you would, open
your Bibles to Matthew chapter 7. Most of you that know me know
that I have a fair amount of interest in science and kind
of interested in reading things and things of that nature. And
somebody recently shared, kind of texted me a scientific article
that we've been discussing. It was obviously different than
the position that I held. And I said to them, I said, I'll
only accept and read scientific articles that support the position
that I had before I read them, which I was kind of laughing
about it. I don't know what made me think
of that as I was driving in, but that's a lot of people's
position with this book. They hold a position before they
even know what it says, but then when they hear what it says,
they often go back right back to that same position. It kind
of ties into what we're going to be looking at tonight. So
we're going to look at right now three verses in Matthew chapter
seven and in verse 21 it says, Not everyone that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he
that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven. Many will
say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name, and in thy name have cast out devils, and in
thy name have done many wonderful works? And then will I profess
unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, you that work
iniquity. Now, I cannot imagine a more
terrifying thing to hear. To hear this from God himself,
I never knew you. And new here actually is written
loved. The word is actually loved in
our language. Depart from me, I never loved
you. Now you put yourself in these
people's position that are standing here before God himself in that
day, and that's what they hear. And I think we have to ask ourselves
the question, is this the God that's preached today? the God
that says this to people that come to him. I think we can all
conclude that it absolutely is not what is preached today. Who
were these people and what did they do that was so bad that
they would hear these words? Because most people cannot even
understand the concept that God would say this to a person. that
would come before him. I never loved you. Depart from
me, you worker of iniquity. What did they do that was so
bad that God would say that unto them? Well, he shows us right
here in the text in verse 21. They say, Lord, we've preached
in your name. We've cast out demons And we've
done many wonderful works all under the name of the Lord, they
thought. And here we find their testimony,
the thing that they thought would recommend them to God. We've
preached in your name. We've even cast out demons from
people. and by their own admission done
many wonderful works. Their testimony of what they'd
done and why God should allow them into his kingdom is the
very reason that they're condemned. Their testimony became their
condemnation. Now, these people were religious
people. These were pastors, deacons,
choir members. church people, parishioners,
seemingly good people to the world, and yet they hear this? This is not the God that is preached
today. So my question to you is if these people heard this,
where does that leave you and me? And why would I presume that
I wouldn't hear this if these people heard that? Well, let's
look over here at a few verses of what he said before this that
led up to him even saying it. So let's look in verse 13. It
says, enter ye in at the straight gate, which means narrow, for
wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction
and many there be which go in there at because straight is
the gate and narrow is the way which leads to life. and few
there be that find it. Turn with me, if you will, over
to Luke chapter 13. It's the same account that lends
a little bit more detail to what he's saying. Luke 13, and we'll start in verse
23. He says, then said one of them
to him, the Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto
them, strive to enter in at the straight gate. For many, I say
unto you, will seek to enter in and shall not be able. When once the master of the house
has risen up and shut the door and you begin to stand outside
and to knock at the door saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us. And
he shall answer unto you and say, I know you not from where
you are. And then you shall begin to say,
we've eaten and drunk in thy presence and now is taught in
our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I don't know from
where you are. Depart from me all you workers
of iniquity. And there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and
all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust
out. So he says, straight is the gate. So this means narrow. And he
says, strive to enter in at the strait gate. Strive means to
labor fervently. It means to fight to enter in
this gate. And he says that many will try
to go in it, but only few are going to get through. So what
does he mean by all this? Well, I can tell you what he
doesn't mean. is do your best and everything will be okay.
When he says strive to enter, that's not what that means, but
yet that's what most people's religion is. I just have to believe
I'll do my best and in the end, surely he won't hold me accountable.
That's what most people believe and is preached in 99% of churches
in America. You do your best, then God will
have mercy on you. That's not what's in this book.
So my position that I hold had better reflect what this book
says because if this is the means by which I'm seeking salvation
and the God in which I'm going to stand before, I better know
what it says because I don't want to be one of these people
that find out in the end all the things that I thought I did
and the reasons why I could maybe come to Him. He doesn't accept
any of them. Will God really cast me out if
I come before him with my best and it's not good enough? Will
he really do it? The answer is yes. Now if your response to
this is hatred for a God that would do this, that would be
this harsh and this exacting, there are three things this reveals.
First, you've never seen God or known him as he's revealed
in this book. That's the first thing that is
revealed. The second thing is that you have no idea the extent
of what sin is. The sins that you've committed
are part of it. Yeah, it's what you do. But even more so, it's
what you are. Sin comes from an evil heart.
The things that proceed out of us come from the heart that's
within us. And so it's much more than just what you do. It's what
you are. The third thing that it reveals
is if something isn't done for you and for me, I will hear these
same words. Now, no one hates the manipulatable
Jesus who is preached, who loves everybody, who died for everybody,
and who's just waiting for you to choose him. This is the same
guy that's standing on the sideline, waiting, just doesn't want to
be picked last in the kickball game. You know that feeling of
when you're standing there and they're dividing up teams and
you're just thinking, oh don't, you know, pick me, I don't want
to be last. That's the way they're representing. He's just waiting
for you to choose him and then he can help you so much if you'll
just help him help you. This is God. Him standing on
the sideline waiting for you to choose him, it's ridiculous
and it's not in this book. This Jesus is not in this book,
but what is depicted here, what I've read earlier, this is reality. It's him, it's a king. Jesus
is a king. King Jesus, and he decides who
gets in and who will be shut out. Who's gonna be outside the
door knocking, and he says, I don't know you, and I don't know where
you're from. Get away from me. Many will go
in at the gate leading to destruction. It says wide and broad is the
way. It's easy to go down this road.
Many can go in, all kinds of different people with different
thoughts and views, but few find the gate leading to life. It's
the narrow way. Why? Well, we need to understand
that the gate has something to do with the message of this book.
The gate is the message. You know what's interesting,
yet a profound statement of the obvious, this book hasn't changed
for thousands of years. There's been no change to the
word. Yet, why do we have all these
different types of Christianity? We have Baptists, Methodists,
New Age, Traditional, Catholic, Reformed, even signs you see
on the side of the roadways in big cities that this is not church.
For people who don't like church, this is church but not church.
So they're appealing even to those people. But yet we all
have the same book. I think we can agree at least
that we're not all saying the same thing. What one says, the
other doesn't agree with. The one constant, though, with
false religion, this is the one easy thing to find, they will
all have a reason why they don't agree or why they don't preach
all the words that are contained in this book. They pick and choose
the parts that support the position that they had before they came
in, and they ignore the parts that completely undermine what
they're trying to say or that contradict them. How does a Methodist
deal with grace? How do you say, well, it's right
in there, you're saved by grace. Yeah, but you still have to do
these things to be saved. Well, where does it say that?
How do you deal, reconcile free will with God choosing a people
who would be saved? But yet it's up to you to choose
to make it work or not, the will of God. Wide and broad is the way. All these world religions put
the focus back on what you do or what you don't do. And it
may be that that's all that they focus on, but they pick the parts
that they want. The focus is on helping addicts,
divorced people, giving you a sense of belonging, community work,
youth groups. None of these things are in this
book. So why is it that that is the focus? What was Paul's
charge to Timothy? Was it to baptize? Was it to
get members, to draw people in? No, Paul said, Timothy, preach
the word. That is our charge for what we're
to do, not all these other things. There's nothing wrong with those
other things, but they don't have anything to do with this
book and worshiping the God of this book or being judged by
the God of this book. We are to worship him with whom
we all have to do. You can love him, you can hate
him, you can not even care whether he exists at all, you're still
gonna have to deal with him. And so this is the reality. The Lord
tells us broad, there's lots of ways, things, and ideas that
go in. We blind our eyes here tonight
if we don't heed the words that we've heard read. Narrow, only
one through at a time, this gate, and it's hard to find it. There's
only one Lord, one message, and one way by which we can be saved. I want to know, and I mean really
know, how is it that I can be saved? Not just believe something
and hope for it in the end, but actually have no substance based
on what's in this book and be judged by the God of this book.
Well, if you'll turn over to Ephesians 1, I believe Claire
read a little bit of this earlier. This is, to me, one of the simplest
explanations of the gospel in a very concise form that you'll
find in all the Word of God. And in verse 3 he says, Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who have blessed
us. Who's the us? Us is distinct
from them, so we can't say it's to everybody. Not everybody gets
the blessing. So there's an us in them in heavenly
places in Christ. So it tells us the blessing is
in Christ. Now, according as he hath chosen
us in him, who chose who? Well, God chose the people. Well,
he chose us. So didn't you have to choose
him to make something work? None of that's in here. It says
he chose us in him when? Before the foundation of the
world. If he had to look at anything you've done in order to choose
you that you've done in this life, what reason and what cause
would he have to do it? He'd find none. That's why it
had to be done before the foundation of the earth and be done chosen
in his son. Why did he do it? That we should
be holy and without blame before him in love. If he didn't do
it, we would not be chosen as holy. You look at me, you look
at you, you can't find one reason to choose me. I can only speak
for myself, but if I'm chosen in Christ, I know that I'm made
holy. And I know that he can love me
because he loves his son. Having predestinated us unto
the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto himself. How do you
become a child of God? Do you accept Jesus and then
he does all these things for you? No. He says he chose us. He adopted us. Jesus Christ adopted
a people from every tribe, kindred, and nation. And if I'm a child
of God, I am someone that he has chosen and adopted. Why would
he do all that? Why would he choose me? Why would
he make me holy knowing I am the way I am? Why would he give
me the inheritance and distinct high honor of being a child of
God? He tells us what's according
to the good pleasure of his will. That's it? That's the only explanation
we're given. So that's the one it is. To the
praise of the glory of His grace wherein He hath made us accepted
in the Beloved. And now this tells us about the
work of Christ. So up to this point, He's told
us everything that's happened before time ever began. And now
He tells us what happened when Christ came to the earth. In
whom, in Christ, we have redemption through His blood, The forgiveness
of sins according to the riches of his grace wherein he hath
abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence. And then you jump
over to verse 10, this tells us this is the second coming
of Christ. That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might
gather together in one all things in Christ, both for which are
in heaven and which are on earth, even in him. We're told in that
great day, we're all gonna be gathered together. So right here,
and even if you look in verse 13, he says, in whom you also
trusted after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation, in whom after that you believed you were sealed
with that Holy Spirit of promise. So that's your experience in
this life. First 13 verses cover it all. You've got everything
He did before the foundation of the earth, the coming of Christ,
your experience in this life, and what's going to happen later.
What's so hard about this? It's right here. I'm doing nothing
more than really reading it to you. Why is this so complicated? Because it doesn't appeal to
those who have something to earn in their salvation. In this,
we're passive. He's doing all this for us, but
what about my works? What about the good things I've
done for other people? You know, none of those things
were mentioned. No. None of those things needed to
happen for him to be able to choose me, and I'm thankful for
that because I really have nothing to show him. Their salvation
must be done before the salvation of the world. But to most people,
many, the wide and broad gate, they have to do something. So
if you will, roll back to our text in Matthew 7. So why does he tell us all this?
Why does he have to explain all this so plainly to us? Because
in verse 15, after he talks about the straight and narrow gates,
he says, That's why he has to tell us,
because a false prophet tries to look like a real prophet.
There's plenty of people all across America and other countries
that stand in pulpits in places they call churches that use the
word Jesus, blood, salvation, God, faith, all these same words,
but yet they're misleading men and women to their own destruction.
They're making them believe their salvation is some way dependent
on something they do, even something as simple as faith. They twist
the message unknowingly, damning their hearers and themselves.
Is that too harsh? It's not, because that's what
this book says. Now, you can memorize every word
of this book. You can intellectually explain
every doctrine and every theory. every theology to others, you
can even be in a church building every time it's open and you
can still hear these same words, depart from me, you work iniquity,
I never knew you. Salvation is not in these words. Salvation is not understanding
what these words teach. You can understand it and still
hate it. There's plenty of people that understand exactly what
it says and still hate it. Salvation is not associating
yourselves with those who align themselves with this book. Salvation
is a person. This book tells a story. The
words tell a story about a person. And those doctrines and theologies
that are contained in here speak of a person and what he did and
what God the Father did for us in election. Election's not just
a doctrine. Election's the only way I can
be saved. If he didn't pick me, I'll die. I know it if it's left
to me. So these are words of life. Salvation
is a person. You're not saved because of your
faith, you're saved because of the object of your faith. The
object of your faith is the Lord Jesus Christ. He's a king. You're saved because of what
he did for you, living the life that you could never live before
the Father. I can never present anything
I've ever done before God the Father, but I can present his
life and say I claim that is mine. Salvation is what he did for
us. Salvation is him bearing the
awful toll of your sins. He paid the full price, death. The only reason for death is
sin. And he took my sins and all the
people for whom he came to die for, he took those sins upon
himself and he died. And he was punished for it and
he died. He bore the awful burden that we could never bear. Salvation
is being able to present a righteousness that God is exceedingly pleased
with. Righteousness is everything good,
right, and holy that can be done. That's the righteousness that
I want to present before Him. And it's not presented on my
behalf. It's actually mine, because on my behalf wouldn't be good
enough, because I could lose it. But if it's actually mine
and it's free for nothing that I did something for, that gives
me confidence that not only in the person of my Redeemer, His
life is my life. And when He died, I was in Him
because the reason He died was my sins and the sins of all His
people. And the reason He's alive is
because His righteousness was acceptable to the Father. And
that is actually my righteousness too. There's so much more that
could be said, but he did it all. That sums up it all. Now, if you can bow to that,
him doing it all, where you get nothing, you don't have any glory,
you have nothing to claim, nothing to show, nothing to say, but
I did this one thing, even a simple act of believing, you can't claim
that. because that's faith. Faith is
in Christ alone, and we know that the scriptures tell us faith
is the gift of God, first of all, so you can't claim any glory
in that. And faith is not evidence for
salvation. People used to look at this the
wrong way. They think, well, I have faith, therefore I'm saved.
That's a work, because if you didn't do that, therefore you
wouldn't be saved. Faith is evidence of salvation.
You know, we talk about election and people feel, well, how do
I know if I'm choose, you know, one of the chosen, you don't,
you don't. We won't know until we're on
the other side of this life. But what we can look to, what
evidences we can see that we're chosen, do I have faith in his
son? Do I believe the word as it's
represented here? Not what I thought. because the
Lord says your thoughts are not my thoughts, and my ways aren't
your ways. Mine are much higher than yours.
So if my thoughts and my ways and my beliefs are different
than what's in here, I best ask the Lord to change my heart,
to give me an understanding of who he really is in his word. Now, if we know all these things,
then why would someone explain away why they still don't believe,
and they still keep doing the same dead works, the same wicked
traditions, and the same false teachings? Why would somebody
do that, even when presented with this right here, and who
God says that he is, why would they still do that? Because unregenerate
and unsaved men and women hate God. What was the one thing that
we did to him when he was here? You know, we talk about, you
know, in most places they preach of this Jesus that, you know,
loves everybody, died for everybody. He's this, you know, friend that
you just want to have and choose. They ran him out of every town
he was in. They hated him. They tried to kill him for his
message in every town that he was in. They eventually did it
because they said, we will not have this man to reign over us.
They hated God's Son, they hated what He represented, and they
said, we're going to kill Him. And they did. Now, those spoken of here, their
salvation is in what they do and what they don't do. their
religious customs, their community work, their baptism, their increasing
numbers. Not in his son, though. These people here spoken of saying,
we've done many wonderful works. We preached in your name. Not
once did they mention, we have faith in your son. He's the only
reason we can come before you. We're pleading His blood as forgiveness
for our sins. No, they said, but we've done
all these things. None of those things were mentioned. They pled
their works and they were turned away because of it. But I tell
you what is interesting here. He does tell us who does enter
the kingdom. We've talked a lot about who's not, but I want to
know who does. And he does tell us here in verse
21, who enters the kingdom. Not everyone that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. But he
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Well, how
in the world can we know what that is? Well, he tells us over
in John chapter 6 very plainly. So if you'll turn over there,
we'll see what that is. In verse 38 he says, For I came
down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him
that sent me. So Christ says it's not His even
will that He's doing. He's doing the will of His Father.
And in verse 39 it said, And this is the Father's will. You
want to know what the Father's will is? The people that do it?
Here it is. All which He will have sent me,
that of all which He hath given me, I should lose nothing, but
should raise it up again at the last day." Now this was the charge
of the will from the Father to the Son. These were His instructions
to His Son. Of all I'm going to give you,
you're not going to lose one of them. And this was His charge
before He ever came into this world. That's why He had to come
into this world. to redeem those the Father gave
Him. That's the whole reason all this
is going on. That's why we're sitting here.
The things in your life that have led you up to this point,
how many of us have come from different places, different backgrounds?
We'd never be together. I'm different. I may not get
along with you out in this world. We may not have anything in common
at all, but something Something brought us all here. That's the
will of God. Those for whom He's revealed
Himself, those for whom the Father gave to the Son, He brought them
from all these different places and brought them here, even tonight.
Imagine that. All that's going on right now
is working according to the Father's will, that if He gave them to
the Son, they won't be lost. And in verse 40, this is the
Father's will and charge to all mankind. And this is the will
of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son and believeth
on him may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the
last day. Now you look at that very plainly.
This is the Father's charge to all of mankind. No one is excluded
here, because first he says everyone. There's nobody in here that it's
excluded. No one outside of this room in this world in all of
history, and that will be, that is excluded. Everyone means everyone. That what? Seeth the sun. And
that, well, he's been dead for however many years and off this
earth. And now he's in heaven. How can I see him? Well, obviously
it doesn't mean physically with your eyes. What it means is seeing
who he is, that he's not this pitiful Jesus that is preached
in most places and is waiting for you to choose him. He's the
Lord. He's the King of kings in whom
all power and all authority is given unto him. That's who he
is. You better see him for who he
is because that's who this book says he is. and believeth on him." Not believing
that he's existed. The devils believe that. They
know full well, much better than you and I, that he full exists.
And it's so many examples in the scripture that as soon as
they saw him, what did they do? They ran to him. They confessed
his name and they said, are you here to torment us? We know who
you are. The holy one of Israel, the son
of the living God. They knew exactly who he was
so much better than we do. So it's not just believing that
he existed because he did. The devils believe that. It's
believing that if he doesn't save me, I won't be saved. It's believing that he holds
the power to do that. It's believing that if he didn't
shed his blood for me, and blot out all my sins, everything that
I've done in this life, God would have every reason to punish me.
If He didn't do that, I'd have no reason to stand before Him.
It's believing that if He did shed His blood for me, that on
the authority of the Word of God before us right now, I must
be saved. There is no choice. If he died
for my sins, that's taken away all the penalty and reason for
death. If that's been put away, I can't
die because I don't have anything that can kill me because that's
the only reason for death. So if he died for all the people
that he died for, they will be saved. His blood was effectual. It saved everyone for whom he
died for. It tells us and it makes us to
believe that if I make it to heaven, it's only because he
kept me. I wonder from him every single
day. And if he didn't come after me,
I'd stay gone. I'd forget about him, I'd lose
interest in him, and I wouldn't care. But thank God, because
I'm his child, you think about your own children. They're on
your heart at all the time, and that you're never gonna let them
get away from you. They're always your children, no matter what
they do, and you love them, and you would always seek them out
if you had the ability to do so. Even much more so, with a
pure love of the Father and the Son, they seek out those who
are called the children of God. They don't allow us to go away.
I wonder daily, he seeks me out, he brings me back, This is the
will of the Father, that of all which He's giving Him, He said,
I'm gonna lose none of them. Well, we've declared the gospel
here tonight. The simplicity of it, Christ
is everything, all the fullness of God is in Him, all of forgiveness,
righteousness, everything that God's pleased with, it's in Him. This is not the Jesus that's
preached today. And if what I've concluded is,
What if I don't know if I've really seen him then? Because
that's not what I've heard all my life. I've heard something
else and you're telling me something different here. I'm pointing
to the book where it says it. And that has to mean that I really
don't believe. Maybe I've never believed before.
Does that mean that I have no hope and that I will be someone
here that's gonna hear these awful words? Well, if you look,
everything that was said here was predicated on what he said
before. Look in verse, sorry, go back to our text in Matthew
7. Everything that he said to these people, depart from me,
I don't know you. Enter at the straight gate. He's
telling them there's only one way of salvation, one way to
God, but everything that he said here is predicated on what he
said before. And God always, has left the door open. And if
we look here in Matthew 7, verse 7, he says, ask, and it shall
be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock,
and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh, receiveth. And he that seeketh, findeth. And to him that knocketh, it
shall be opened. What is it that I'm supposed
to even ask for? You're to ask for the Lord to save you. You're
to ask to be given a new heart. These hearts that we're born
with in our flesh, they hate God. They can only sin, they
can only do evil. Because I know in my experience,
I believe God, I love him, and I know he's given me a new heart.
But when I look at my experience and my walk in this life, if
I start looking to that, I find every reason for God to cast
me off. So we have these fleshly bodies,
that's why they die. All men and women, we're all
gonna die eventually. That part dies, that's the old
man, the old flesh, the old heart. But if he births his spirit in
you, gives you a new spirit, that new creation, that new heart,
one that can see God, one that can believe God, one can love
him and see his person in the scriptures. That's what we're
to ask for. See, these religious people here
that brought all their works before him, things that they've
done, we've done many wonderful works, they thought they knew
him. See, the problem is he didn't know them. He said, I don't know
you. But if he knows you, if he knows
my name, I mean, even if I get old one day and I forget his
name, if he knows my name, that's my ability to get into the kingdom
of heaven. He knows my name. He knows every
one of the children of God's names personally. What Aaron
was saying this morning, you know, as we're called on to pray
to him, he knows your name. He can hear your prayer for his
son's sake. He knows my name. It's so much
more important that he knows me, because if he knows me, he's
ordered all things for my good. We're called on to seek. I'm
seek to have a heart to desire to see the sun. Give me a heart
that would seek him in his word. I want to know who he is in this
book, not who I think he was before I came to it and then
have the same position after I don't like what I read. Show
me who you really are, Lord. Show me in your word. I'm to
seek him where the preaching of the gospel is. This is where
the Lord said he'd meet with us. Two or three are gathered
in my name. I'll be in your midst. I'm to seek him where the truth
is preached. and I'm to seek him in prayer.
I pray in my closet. You know, you ask the Lord, that's
where you pour your heart out. That's a lot of what the Psalms
are, David pouring his heart out to the Lord in them. So we're
to seek him to be given a heart to truly see the Son as who he
is. And he says also to knock. You knock when you know you're
shut out. That's the only reason you knock. If you know the door's
open, you just walk right in. But you knock when you know you
can't just walk in. You know that the door is shut
to you, that you have no right to walk in. I can't just walk
to somebody's house and walk in the door. I knock because
I don't have a right to come in. I knock because I'm shut
out, like those people we read about. He said, I don't know
you. So you knock when you can't come in. And we knock, pleading
to be accepted by the merit and the favor of his son. And he's
told us here in the word, you ask. you're gonna receive. You are gonna get exactly what
you asked for. There is no one that has prayed
in a pure heart of faith to ask to be given a new heart, to see
the son, and to have this person of Christ revealed to them in
this book, truly as he is, that's not been given that. No one.
He says, if you seek me, you'll find me. And he says, and if
you knock, the door is wide open. You're not shut out anymore.
Because we're coming through the person of the Lord Jesus
Christ. I'm not coming on my own. I can't
come on my own. I'll never be let in. But if
I come through the person of his son, I can come through him. In hearing and looking at all
this, truly, we are without excuse. The gospel is right here in front
of us. Salvation and life is right here in this book that
we have in our possession. And if you or I hear these words,
we deserve to hear every one of them. Because his word is
right here. And he's made the door wide open. Ask, you'll receive. Seek, and you'll find. Knock,
and it will be open to you. Not if anything. There's no condition. Do those things. He said, I'll
give you these things. We deserve everything we get
if we don't ask. He has provided everything to
anyone who will come. May the Lord make us willing
to come. He said, all the Father gives
me shall come to me. And him that cometh unto me You
don't know whether he's gonna accept you or not. He said, him
that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. We are without
excuse. May the Lord enable each of us
to do the Father's will in believing on him who he has sent. Okay,
I'll leave it there.
