This morning, we're gonna be
back in Hebrews chapter 10, if you'd like to turn there. Hebrews
chapter 10. Historically, we see in the Old
Testament that it was a dreadful thing to approach the Lord. And
it is still a dreadful thing to approach the Lord, and all
on our own, on our own. Told Moses, Moses said, Lord,
I want to see your glory. And he said, Moses, no man can
look upon me and live. No man can look upon me and live.
But there is a place nigh unto me. He put him in the cleft of
the rock, didn't he? And he said, whenever my glory
passes by, I'll put you in that rock and you may see my hinder
parts. It's a dreadful thing to approach God. In the Old Testament,
it was described as how when the new tabernacle would be erected
or the new temple was erected and the presence of God would
descend into that tabernacle or temple, smoke would cover
it. Smoke would cover it so that
you couldn't see God's glory. If he didn't put smoke in there
and you could see God's glory, everyone that saw it would die.
They would die. Furthermore, when the priest
went in to the holiest of holies to offer up sacrifice once a
year, They had bells on their robes and they had rope tied
to them because if he hadn't confessed his sin unto God or
he doesn't perform the ritual as God had demanded it to be
done with utmost care, God would strike him dead right there.
And they knew that if the bells were stopped, they would be able
to pull him back out. Uzzah in the Old Testament shows
us a glimpse of God's holiness and why we're why it's a dreadful
thing to approach God. Uzzah was trying to help. Uzzah
wasn't trying to mess something up. Boy, that's us, ain't it?
We ain't trying to mess nothing up. And the Lord shows us, no,
it's my word that's going to be upheld. Children of Israel
had lost the Ark of the Covenant to the Philistines. Philistines
were plagued with curses and different things that the Lord
brought upon them. They sent it back and David heard that
it was in a place. And so they went down there to
retrieve it, but the Levites didn't go. And that was part
of the law. That was part of the ruling. And as it was among
the men that were going, they put it up on a cart. Now that's
talking about propping up the gospel is what that's a picture
of. It wasn't supposed to be propped up. It was supposed to
be carried by staves that went through the openings and it was
supposed to be carried by the Levites only. So they disregarded
the staves, and they disregarded the carrying of it by the Levites,
and they propped it up on a cart. And you know, that's what men
do today in the gospel. They take the truth of the Lord,
and they try to prop it up somehow. Or they say, we gotta do this,
and you gotta, that's just propping up the, that's just propping
up the ark, isn't it? But our Lord don't need to be
propped up. Don't need to be propped up. And what happened? Well, as they were going along,
the cart began to shake, and the, Ark begin to fit to fall
as the mercy seats what that was begin to fall or it would
have fallen And as I said, like all men say well, I'm gonna help
God out and he touched it And what happened to us at the moment?
He touched it. God killed him God said no, I'm holy and you're
not you cannot approach me. You cannot come near me You cannot
drive draw lines mean you cannot touch my holy things He said
don't touch it And that's a picture of us, the Lord's people, now
realizing that salvation is of the Lord, and we don't touch
it. We do not touch it. We don't prop it up, and we don't
put hands to it, do we? But the moment that we put hands
to it, then we are denouncing that we don't believe Christ.
We're putting our hands to it. We believe in ourself. We can
save ourself. We can do it ourself, and that's results of death,
isn't it? That results in death. We have an inability by nature
to approach God on our own. So it should be a most frightening
thing to approach God if you are not welcome. If you are not
welcome. What do I mean by welcome? Well,
in the Old Testament in the book of Esther, Esther was the only
one that was found that would have been able to intercede for
the Jews because of a wicked man had, Haman went to the king and said,
king, there's people that are plotting against. He lied. That's
all he was doing. He wanted glory for himself, wanted to be recognized,
wanted power. And that's really what it usually
comes down to, isn't it? Something, either power, popularity, or
pleasure somebody wants, but he came to the king and the king
said, well, go ahead and write up the law and I'll sign it.
And the law was that every Jew was going to die on a particular
day. They were going to kill every one of them. And Esther
was the only one found that had the ability and had the, um, The right, I suppose, to enter
into the throne room of the king. There was also another law that
stated if the king's scepter does not raise whenever you enter
into that room, you'll be put to death. You must be pleasing
unto the king because you've not been summonsed. So she goes
before the king and what happens? The scepter raises, the scepter
raises. That's a picture of the Lord
Jesus Christ interceding for his people. When we were doomed
to die because of the law, when it was gonna come to pass that
we had no hope of eternal life, no hope of any salvation whatsoever
in ourself, the Lord went before the king and the scepter was
raised. And now the scepter is raised
to all the children of the Lord. It'd be a terrible thing to go
before the king and not be welcome. Not be welcome. Remember, I've
used this analogy recently. I haven't even read my text yet,
but I used this analogy recently. Mephibosheth was down in Lodabar,
my car. That's a land of no bread. It
was a desolate place of no bread. That's what it's defined as.
He was in the desert. No bread. That's where we are by nature.
We're down in Lodabar. We're down in my car. We have
no bread, no life, no hope to the claim to be saved or to have
anything good happen to us. Furthermore, our legs are broke
by nature, aren't they? And that's exactly what was wrong with him.
couldn't get to the king. And even if he could have got
to the king, the king would have killed him. He was a son of Jonathan. He was
a heir to the throne of Jonathan. So he was a threat to David,
but a covenant had been taken, had went into effect between
Jonathan and David according to the mercies of the Lord. And
David remembered that covenant and said, is there any left of
the house of Saul that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's
sake? They said, yeah, there's a cripple boy down there named
Mephibosheth, he said, go fetch him. And that's exactly what
the Lord does for his people at the appointed time. He sends
his spirit to the high sheriff of heaven to lay hold of us and
calls us to see God as God, and we are not, and we need a savior.
Mephibosheth entered into the throne room. He was welcome.
He didn't know he was welcome. They didn't give him a pamphlet
and say, here, this is what you need to know before you get there.
No, he entered the room. You got to think, he's scared to death.
He can't fight. He ain't got no legs. You can imagine he's,
I'm afraid I'm going to die. And what does he do? He falls
on his face before David, the king. Oh, is that not what we
do whenever we come before our father? We just fall on our face
before him. We see he's holy and we're not.
Lord, and that's what the gospel does is it causes us to bow.
We bow. We bow. David said these words,
and these are the words you and I hear whenever we come before
the Lord, when we are welcomed because we're in Christ Jesus,
fear not. That's the best word you'll ever
hear if you're a sinner. If you hear him from the Lord, fear
not, for surely I will show you kindness for Jonathan, thy father's
sake, not by works of righteousness that you have done, Mephibosheth,
but by my mercy, by my grace, by a covenant of grace that I
made with your father, with your father. He was made welcome. They put a ring on his finger.
They put a robe on his back and put him at the king's table.
He said, you're going to get this table all the days of your life. Why?
Because of a covenant of grace. Had it not been for that covenant,
would have not been welcomed. He would have never been welcomed.
If the Lord had not knit the hearts together of Jonathan and
David, he would have not been welcomed and he would have been
killed. Now I'm still talking this morning about approaching
God, approaching God. And the title of this message
is what is boldness? Because that's what's found in
our text. That's what's found in our text. And let's read this
two verses, Hebrews 10, 19 and 20 says these words. Having therefore, brethren, boldness
to enter into the holiness by the blood of Jesus, by a new
and living way which he hath consecrated for us through the
veil, that is to say, his flesh. Having therefore, boldness to
enter into the holiness by the blood of Jesus, by a new and
living way which he hath consecrated for us through the veil, that
is to say, his flesh. The only way that we can enter
the presence of God and not be utterly destroyed is to be welcomed. to be given boldness. Boldness
is not something we conjure up. Boldness is not something we
choose to do. Boldness is not something we work up. Boldness
is not a decision we make. Boldness is a gift by faith,
a gift by grace. That's what boldness is. Boldness
is liberty. Boldness is freedom. He says
here, you have the freedom to enter into the holiest of holies,
not by your works, but you've been made welcome because of
another, because of the blood of Christ. You can enter into
the very presence of God and be welcomed. To be given boldness of the Lord
by his grace, we have to have a clear conscience before him.
The only thing that clears the conscience, it's not works that
we do. It's not that we try a little harder to make our conscience
feel better. You know what all the conscience does is it accuses
or excuses. I mean, that's what the conscience
does. But in order to have a clear conscience, only the Lord's people
have a clear conscience because they're looking to Christ. He's
the clearer of the conscience. He's made it right. Everything
that we've done wrong, He's made right. No surprise, therefore,
that so many so-called Christians today, so many false religions
today, they look to the law for righteousness. They go and they
say, okay, I've gotta clear my conscience, I need to do this,
and I need to do that. I need to clear my conscience,
so I need to do this, and I need to do that. And you can do enough
to sear your conscience. You can do enough to sear your
conscience. The scripture talks about it being seared with a
hot iron, severed, severed to where you, Believe with everything
within you that you are now welcome into the throne of God because
the throne room of God the holiest of all because of what you have
done You can do that But it's a lie It's a lie our welcoming
into God's presence, our welcoming before his throne. What makes
his people welcome is the works of Christ, the death of Christ,
the life of Christ, the blood of Christ being applied. Nothing
that we have done, but everything that he has done, everything
that he has done. If you come to God in the state
of believing you've done enough, to have boldness. What you're
really doing is you're just declaring yourself as justified before
God because of you. You're declaring a self-righteousness
before God. You're saying my righteousness
exceeds that of Christ. My justification is because of
what I've done. My sanctification is because
I've gotten better and better and better by doing better and
better. That's a lie. That's a lie. It's not possible,
is it? But you heard the first hour. Everything that we do in
the flesh, and I want to make sure we understand, I've said
this so many times, but it's so clear through the scripture.
Everything we do in the flesh does not affect the spirit. They're not, they don't intertwine. They that are in the flesh cannot
please God. In order for us to worship God, we have to worship
in spirit and in truth. He has to send his spirit. Everything
about God, he must provide if we are to be pleasing before
him. It's not what we do, it's what he has done, what he is
doing. Men excuse themselves, though,
by having a righteousness by the law, but don't be deceived.
God's not mocked. Nothing can profit, done in the
flesh, can profit in the spirit. Matter of fact, he says in Romans, that no flesh shall be justified
by the deeds of the law. Well, that's simple. And it's
right there, plain black and white, and men read that and
say, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that, but we still have to do this,
and we still, no, he said, no flesh shall be justified by the
deeds of the law. It's that simple. God will not
acquit the guilty, justice must be satisfied, and sin must be
punished. There will be no acceptance of you and I if we are not found
in the person, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only justification
for his people. He's the only one that justified
his people. And the evidence of that is his
resurrection. He was raised because of our justification, because
of our justification. Do you know why, do you know why that there is no
acceptance if we are not found in Christ. Because the blood
is accounted as no value anywhere the law is used for the purpose
of righteousness. I want to say that again. If
we are running to the law for righteousness, We are accounting
the blood as no value to us. That's what that means. That's
how serious this is. We're saying, yeah, nothing but the blood,
but, and we go to the law, then we have discredited the very
sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Boldness is not based upon what
we've done. Boldness is not based upon what
we're doing or what to be done. Boldness is based upon what he
has done. Not anything by us, but what
he has done. It's having complete confidence
by faith in what he has already accomplished, not what he's trying
to accomplish, not what he's going to do, but what he's already
accomplished on the cross of Calvary, in the salvation of
his people. Now in preaching, somebody told
me recently, told him I was preaching somewheres and a lot of non-believers
were present. They didn't have any interest
in ever, I'd never been around them before and they, Anyways, long story short, there
was going to be people there that never heard the gospel before.
It was evident. And somebody looked at me, a young guy, and
he said, well, you better have a lot of boldness that day. And
I thought for a second. I'm like, what do you mean? He's
like, you better tell it just like it is. You better let them know
how it is. You better. And what he means
is he's talking about like a pompousness, like an arrogance, like a condescending.
That's not boldness. That's called arrogance. That's
not boldness. No, it's not being cocky. Boldness is resting in
Christ. And to preach boldly, we preach
boldly in love and in tenderness. Our confidence is in the Lord
Jesus Christ, and therefore it comes out in love. It comes out
so you can rest in him. It doesn't draw attention to
me. It doesn't make the, I remember in false religion, men would
say, boy, you better blow the roof off tonight. I don't even
know what that means exactly, but they would be loud and running
around acting fools. That's not boldness, that's drawing
attention to the flesh. Boldness is resting in Christ
Jesus. Boldness is declaring Christ
clearly and plainly in love. Not speaking condescendingly,
but speaking in love. Boldness by definition means
freedom. It means free and fearless confidence. Free and fearless. Confidence aren't you glad the
Lord doesn't promote fear from the pulpit. That's what lawmongering
That's all it can do is promote fear. Oh, no, have I done enough?
Oh, no, am I living right? Oh, no. What if I do this? Oh,
no, that's fear Lord's not the author of fear is he he's not
the one that He yeah, sure. He'll show us himself and we
feel fear but he gives us repentance of ourself and faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ and Matter of fact, he said, be not afraid of sudden
fear. Look to Christ. Speaking boldly is declaring
it is finished because you believe it. Speaking boldly is declaring
it is finished because you've been made to believe it by God.
He causes you to believe it. If a preacher gets up, you ever
hear a preacher that gets up and preaches and doesn't declare
this gospel, it's because he don't believe in it. It's that
simple. And no one is saved other than by this gospel. According
to the scriptures, this is the gospel where the Lord saves people.
So if they don't preach this gospel, they're not saved. It's
that simple. It's that simple. You say, well,
that was kind of bold of you to say, well, that's the point,
isn't it? Boldness is telling the truth in love. You can't preach a false Jesus
and men come to the knowledge of the truth. You can only preach
the truth and the Lord has to be the one to send his spirit
and bless the word and call that man or woman out of darkness.
You can't use a burnt out flashlight to see in the darkness, it's
not gonna do any good. Only the light can show forth
the truth. And that's what we try to shine,
is the truth. Not a partial truth, because as we heard Rob read,
a little leaven leavened up the whole lump. They were that close
to the truth. Well, they still have the leaven
in it, it ruined it. It ruins it. Speaking boldly as declaring
it is finished because we believe it wholly and completely without
wavering without compromising Somebody said well, you're gonna
be hated if you if you believe this truth if you preach this
gospel. Yes You're not the first person that tells me told me
that the Lord said that to his disciples All men are gonna hate
you for my sake in the world. You shall have tribulation, but
be of good cheer. I've overcome the world They don't hate you.
He said they hate me and I'm in you. That's why they hate
you Boldness is not having to do
with having done anything. It has everything to do with
the revelation of Christ doing everything in salvation and believing
it by faith. Approaching God with confidence
in Christ. At the beginning of this, we
talked about approaching the Lord and now we have boldness to approach.
That's what we're talking about. How can we have boldness to approach? because we're looking to the
Lord Jesus Christ only, only. The question I have for us this
morning is what is our confidence? Well, our confidence that we
preach here is found in this very chapter, verses 12 through
14. Look at it, this is our confidence. But this man, the Lord Jesus
Christ, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever,
sat down on the right hand of God from henceforth expecting
till his enemies be made his footstool, For by one offering
he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. That is
our hope. That is our confidence. That
is why we have boldness. He hath, by himself, by one offering,
he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. By his offering,
by his sacrifice, he did it. He did it. It doesn't say by
His sacrifice and your good deeds, does it? Does it say by His sacrifice
and your best effort? Does it say His sacrifice and
your choice or your prayer or your life? Does it say the sacrifices
that you have made and His sacrifices by one sacrifice? One means one. I'm a country boy and don't know
a whole lot, but I know that one means one. One sacrifice,
His sacrifice, He did this. One offering. One sacrifice he
hath perfected forever, them that are sanctified. That's why
we have boldness. We believe that, and that's how
we approach. We plead the blood alone. I remember
all too well the Jesus of false religion. I never heard these
verses whenever, I mean, I spent, I don't know, 20 years plus in
false religion. Raised the son of a preacher
in false religion, and it was, I never heard these verses. If
you preach these verses in false religion, you have to tell a
lie on it because this is so simple. I mean, that's why they
skirted around it, I suppose. This literally takes everything
that they preach and just washes it, well, just flushes it out,
doesn't it? It's not possible to preach.
falsely and preach this as truth at the same time. You can't do
it. It would contradict their false teachings. This is all
about him. This man did all this. After
he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, he sat down.
It's done. It's finished. The work's finished. Now he's
not looking for me and you to do anything. Not looking for me
and you to do anything. But the Jesus of modern day false
religion, and I thought about this, it's a call for men to
have pity on him. It's a call for men to have pity
on Him. Listen if you ever hear another, if you ever hear a preacher
you want to know if he is preaching the truth. How do they declare
Christ? Do they declare Him as successful? As seated? As sovereign? Or are they saying something
along the lines of He really gave it His best effort. He died
to give you away. All you have to do is this. Think
about all the sacrifice that he's done. See, they're not declaring
that he accomplished salvation. They're saying he was a selfless
martyr. That's what they're saying. And
in order for you to be saved, you have to make his blood and
his work effectual. That's what false religion does. You can't have boldness in that.
Have I done enough? There can't be any boldness in that false
preaching. Have I done enough? I remember Greg used this analogy
first. I've used it once or twice here,
but Mr. Rogers on his deathbed, he was
dedicated to children and he had the show on TV, Mr. Rogers'
Neighborhood. You know what I'm talking about.
You can look it up. You can Google it. It's there.
He talked to his wife on his deathbed. He asked this question
to her, have I done enough? And what he meant by that was,
have I done enough to please God to let me into heaven? had been confident up till that
point, he wasn't confident anymore, he had no boldness. He had no
confidence in what had happened because he's looking to himself.
Our only confidence can come when we're looking to Christ
through the eyes of faith. That's how we approach the Lord.
No, we don't declare Christ as a selfless martyr. No, we declare
Christ as the successful savior of his elected sinners. We declare
Christ as the successful redeemer of his chosen people. We declare
Christ as the seated king, soon coming king, for his people. Isn't it true that they, so-called
Armenians, they'll say something along the lines, Jesus has done
all he can and his hands are now tied. You're gonna have to
do your part. You gotta choose him. You gotta
choose him. No, if he doesn't choose me,
I have no boldness. If he doesn't choose me, I have
no boldness. If his hands are tied, I'm in trouble. I'm in
trouble because I'm God. What men try to do, brethren,
is they try to stir emotions for people. We try to preach
the truth. We try to preach the truth in
love. Now, there is some emotion to this. I know that. There's
joy. There's peace. There's emotion that we feel.
There's tears. I've shed tears hearing gospel message. I've
smiled. I've laughed out loud one time. Some of y'all have
too. You understand there's emotion involved with this, but we're
not here for emotions. We're here to declare the finished
work of Christ so that you may have boldness before his throne.
boldness before his throne, complete confidence in the Lord Jesus
Christ. That is our hope and desires that he would give each
of us complete boldness to approach, knowing that you've been made
welcome by one reason. The scepter was raised to the
Lord Jesus Christ on your behalf, on your behalf. All these false
religions, boldness is one about look what I've done. I chose
God, therefore I let him save me. I can now enter in because
of what I've done. We don't preach that. That's
all the lie, isn't it? So my last question to us is,
what is your confidence? What are you looking to? What
do you have boldness in? You're gonna stand before the
Lord one day. We heard the first hour. I can't remember the title of
that first message now. Well, that's all right. It's
expected, things expected. We're gonna, it's expected, men
will die and stand before God. It is appointed unto men once
they die. After this, the judgment. Talked about bringing us to our
expected end, and that's what I'm gonna talk about just for
a few more minutes. We're having an expected end, so what is your
boldness? What are you holding onto? Same question you'd be
asked about your righteousness. Same question you'd be asked
about your justification, because it's all the same thing. Everything
that it comes down to, it has to be singular. It's what puts
your finger on it. What is it? Find out. Ask yourself.
Be honest with yourself. The Lord gives you the grace
to be honest with yourself. You're a believer, because only believers
are honest. There's not a single honest person that's in hell.
I can tell you on the truth of the Lord's Word, all people are
honest just because the Lord made them honest. What is your
boldness? You're going to stand before
the Lord. What is your confidence? Well, I want to tell you, the word therefore is what I
want you to notice first in verse 19. Having therefore brethren
boldness. What is the therefore therefore? What is the therefore therefore?
Well, let's go back and see, look at verse 12. This is, this
is what we preach. This is how we have boldness.
It's given by the Lord, of course. But look at verse 12. He tells
us, but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins
forever, sat down on the right hand of God. This tells us why
we can approach boldly. He made one sacrifice for sins
forever. And he sat down on the right
hand of God. That means God was satisfied
with him. God was satisfied with him. That means it is finished.
The work is done. Verse 14 tells us what his sacrifice
accomplished. Look at verse 14. For by one
offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. Not
going to be, we heard that message last Sunday, didn't we? Not going
to be, but are. The perfection of his people,
their sanctification was all by the sacrifice of the Lord
Jesus Christ. This is what he accomplished. Look at verse 16. This tells us why he chose to
save a bunch of dead dog sinners. Look at verse 16. This is the
covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith
the Lord. I will put my laws into their hearts and write their
minds, right in their minds will I write them. And in their minds
will I write them. This was because the eternal
covenant that we heard about at the very beginning with representation
of Mephibosheth and David, that's why he chose to save us. First
of all, his sacrifice saved us, sanctified us, washed us, cleansed
us. That's what it accomplished,
the sacrifice. Now we see why he did it. It was a covenant
of grace. That song we just sung, at the very last part of that
stanza, it says, why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give
an answer. But this I know with all my heart,
his blood had paid my ransom. I can give an answer. Grace.
Why should I gain from his reward? Grace. That's it. There's nothing
in me. There's nothing in me. It's all
of grace. He chose to save us because the eternal covenant
of grace made by God, kept by God, fulfilled by God, He did
it all. He did it all. Aren't you glad
it's completely dependent upon His electing, His redeeming,
His quickening, His keeping, His calling, not ours, not ours,
not dependent upon me and you. not dependent on anyone other
than God. And verse 17 gives us the final result of everything. Of the Lord Jesus Christ's finished
work. Look at verse 17. And their sins and iniquities
will I remember no more. How do you have boldness? Because
you're looking at the sacrifice of the Lord. You're looking at
the offering of the Lord and what it accomplished in redeeming
the Lord's people, sanctifying them, cleansing them. And now
we hear that he will not remember our sin and iniquity no more.
That's what Christ accomplished. That's how we have boldness to
enter into the presence of God. That's how we can have boldness.
That's the only way. That's the only way. Answer this question, how can
God that knows everything all the time forget something? That's
one of those, my daughters, they look at riddles and stuff all
the time and we try to get each other stumped. That's a riddle
that only can be answered by faith, that's it. Our minds cannot
comprehend how a God, how our God, the only God, that knows
everything all the time can forget something. He put them away. He made them go away by the sacrifice
of himself. He washed them in his precious
blood. He cast them into the sea of forgetfulness, never to
be remembered again, never to be remembered again. The cause
of his success, the verse 18 tells us, Now, where the remission
of these is, there is no more offering for sin. There's no
more need for another sacrifice. He doesn't need your sacrifice.
He doesn't need my sacrifice. He doesn't need anybody's sacrifice.
He doesn't need my offering. He doesn't need your offering.
Christ was sufficient in salvation. This is how we can have boldness
before the throne of God. This is what boldness is. Now, in light of all that, let's
read verse 19. Having, therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new
and living way which he hath consecrated for us through the
veil, that is to say, his flesh. Therefore, let us approach boldly. Because of everything else we
just heard, because of everything else we understand about the
Lord's sacrifice, the Lord's offering, what it accomplished,
that he's forgiven our sins and iniquity, you'll remember him
no more. Let us come boldly before his throne. Let us come boldly
before his throne, looking to Christ, pleading nothing but
the precious blood of Christ as all our acceptance before
God. Do you know what he said? If you
come to me this way, he said, I'll in no wise cast you out.
But you have to come without money and without price. That's
what he said. You thirsty, come, buy. Buy without
money and buy without price. Why? Because it's been paid for.
You bring your money, it's not gonna be accepted. The king's
already paid for everything. He's already paid for everything.
That's how we come boldly, without money, without price. Come to
Christ and we'll know wise be cast out because we're coming
seeking the great substitute, the one the father sees and is
satisfied with. We're coming for his righteousness,
aren't we? We're not declaring our righteousness. This is what
boldness is, complete confidence in nothing, nothing but Christ. Complete confidence in nothing
but Christ. No confidence in anything else.
Nothing but the blood. That's how we approach boldly.
Let's pray. Father, thank you. Thank you
that it's. Given unto your people to have
confidence in you and no confidence in ourself. Where we ask that
you would. Take this words. This message
and bless it to our understanding for your glory. In Christ name
we pray. Amen. Remain seated will ask
Mac and.
