Okay, this evening we're going
to continue our Bible study from Galatians chapter 6. Let's read
again verse 1 and verse 2 and then we'll come back and give
our introduction. Brethren, if a man be overtaken
in a fault, he's writing to the church, he's writing to believers.
If a believer among the congregation has been taken up in a fault
and has erred from the truth, you which are steadfast, you
who are steadfast in the faith, you who are spiritual, you who
are rooted and grounded in the Lord Jesus Christ. Restore such
a one. Restore such a one back into
the fold and do it with a spirit of humility. Do it with a spirit
of kindness and of love and of meekness and do it considering
what you are, considering yourself. lest you also be tempted in like
manner, and sent this trial. Bear ye one another's burdens,
and so honor the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ." Honor the
gospel of Christ. Now, remember the story in these
first five chapters that we've been over. These false preachers
in Galatia had infected the congregation there of believers and were distracting
them with false doctrine. These legalists, false preachers
were saying, oh, we are saved by grace, but only, only if we
keep the law. In other words, they were saying
that grace is conditional or that salvation is conditional
upon your performance, what you do or what you do not do. You
remember back in chapter 3, turn over there. In chapter 3, they
were saying this, and Paul writes to them about this error. He
says, Oh, foolish Galatians, who hath deceived you, who hath
bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose
eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth and crucified among
you? This only would I learn of you. Did you receive the Spirit
by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? Are you
so foolish, having begun in the Spirit? Are you now made perfect
by the flesh? Well, God forbid!" So they were
saying, oh, you know, well, it's grace, but it's only grace that's
conditioned upon what you do. Well, my friend, merited mercy
and merited grace is not grace at all. Salvation is not conditioned
upon the sinner's performance. Salvation is totally in the hand
of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's upon His doing. It's upon
His dying. It's upon His performance that
we have life in Christ Jesus. Or they came along and these
false preachers said this. Or they were saying this. Oh,
we're saved by grace as far as justification is concerned, but
in order to be sanctified we must live by the law as a rule
of conduct producing a holiness to which Paul replied this turn
over here to Galatians chapter 2 and here's what he writes concerning
that oh we're saved at Calvary they were saying but you know
we're really sanctified or made holy by what we do and by keeping
the law to which Paul writes this in Galatians 2 verse 16
knowing that a sinner is not justified by the works of the
law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. Even we have believed
in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of
Christ, His obedience, His life, His righteousness, not mine.
Now, Lord, watch this now, "...even we have believed in him that
we might be justified by the faith of Christ, not by the works
of the law, for by the works of the law shall no flesh be
justified in his sight." True saving faith looks to the glorified,
successful, victorious Lord Jesus Christ. It's upon the faithfulness
of Christ alone. That's all of our salvation and
true saving faith and our faith in Him. True saving faith looks
to the Lord Jesus Christ alone, alone. You see what they were
doing? They were attempting to mix law
and grace, works and faith, ceremony in Christ instead of grace alone,
faith alone, Christ alone for all salvation. The scripture
is clear on this. in Christ was all the fullness
of the Godhead bodily, and in the Lord Jesus Christ believers
are complete." That is, they're completely justified, they're
completely sanctified. I don't believe in progressive
sanctification. We are sanctified in Christ Jesus. We do grow in grace. But the
flesh, you know in sanctification the flesh is not sanctified?
The flesh, that which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which
is born of the Spirit is spirit. In sanctification, it's the new
man created in Christ Jesus that, wholly, we are partakers of that
divine nature. It's His nature. It's Christ
in you. So believers stand complete in Christ, completely pardoned,
completely justified, completely redeemed, and we are completely
sanctified. Matter of fact, the Lord Jesus
Christ, He is our holiness. Isn't that what the record of
Scripture says? But of him are you in Christ, who of God is
made unto us wisdom, righteousness, he is our sanctification, he
is our holiness, and he is our redemption. Without that holiness,
no man shall see the Lord. And it's His, not mine. I can't
produce a holiness. I can't produce a righteousness.
I want to live as moral a life as I possibly can. But my morality
will never cut the mustard. Pardon the slang. It'll never
meet the standard God has set. His standard is perfection. And this flesh cannot produce
it. But the new man in Christ Jesus
finds perfect rest and peace and completeness in Him. Believers are complete in Christ
Jesus. Now, Paul says to these people,
do you want a rule to live by? Do you want a guide to live by?
Live by the principles of the gospel. Live by the principles
of the gospel. That's what he says in verse
2. Bear ye one another's burdens, carry the load, share the load,
and so fulfill and honor the law of the Lord Jesus Christ.
You remember back in chapter 5 verse 13? He says, but by love
serve one another. Not law, not duty. Is this your
duty to love your wife? You love your wife because you
do. You don't need something hanging on the wall when you
get up in the morning, well, both to love my wife. No, it's
been implanted in your heart. You love your wife because you
love her as she is. You love her. By love, serve
one another, for all the law is summed up, fulfilled in one
word, even in this, thou shalt love thy neighbor as Thyself. You want a rule to live by? A
rule to die by? Love one another, forgive one
another, bear you one another's burdens. You see, this love of
God has been shed abroad in our hearts. You see, it's the love
of Christ. It's the love of Christ that
constrains the believers. We are motivated. How are believers
motivated? By the whip of the law? By the
promise of reward? That's a poor motivation. Believers are motivated by love. It's the love of Christ that
constrains us. They're motivated by love, by
love, by love. If I love not, I'm nothing. This
love of God been shed abroad in our hearts. So that's the
principle to live by for a believer. And that's what it is to walk
in the Spirit and to live in the Spirit, is to love Christ,
to love one another, and to forgive one another. And then he gives
this rule. glorying in Christ. In chapter
6 verse 14, but God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross
of the Lord Jesus Christ by whom the world is crucified unto me
and I unto the world. Now watch this, for in Christ
Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision,
but this new creation, this new creature. Now look at verse 16,
as many as walk according to this standard. This rule, this
principle, peace be on them, mercy on them, upon the Israel
of God, glory only in the Lord Jesus Christ and love one another. Let us walk in the Spirit and
live in the Spirit and will not be envious of vain glory, will
not be provoking one another and envying one another. If we're
busy loving one another, it would be pretty hard to provoke one
another, wouldn't it? if we're busy loving one another and forgiving
one another. Now, so let us walk in the Spirit
and live in the Spirit, always looking to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us not be arrogant and full of self-righteous pride and vainglory,
envying one another. Let us love one another and forgive
one another even as God Now, you think how high this standard
is. Let us love one another and forgive one another even as God,
for Christ's sake, has forgiven us. Boy, I tell you, let's shoot
for that. Let's love that way and let's
forgive that way. The gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ, this is the command of the gospel of Christ and this
is the teaching of the gospel that we love one another. Our
Lord said this, He said this is His commandment that we should
believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is His commandment. It's not His invitation. This
is His commandment that we should believe on the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ and love one another as He gave us this commandment,
this rule, this rule. Now, all believers are redeemed
and justified with the precious blood of Christ. God the Holy
Spirit does dwell within the believer. We have that new holy
nature created in regeneration. We are a new creature in Christ
Jesus, but I still have this old sinful nature that drags
me down, that I battle each day. I still have the potential to
fall into serious error and sinful deeds and wrong attitude left
to myself. I need to desperately pray unto
God to restrain me and keep me by His grace. And that's why
he says here in chapter 6, verse 1, Brethren, if someone among
you be overtaken, overrun, in a fault, in an error, you who
are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering
yourself, lest you also be tempted. Therefore, we ought to have great
sympathy and understanding and compassion toward our brother
or sister in Christ when they stumble and fall into serious
error, maybe of attitude, maybe of action. But we ought to be
understanding of one another. What are we to do? What action
should believers undertake to help our family in the Lord Jesus? See, the church is one body.
One family. There's many members, but we're
one body. Look what he says here. He gives
us the instructions. What are we to do? When someone
among us is taken up with serious error, whether it be a doctrinal
error, whether it be a moral issue, what are we to do? Restore
such a one, you who are spiritual. He gives us three things to do.
Restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself
lest you also be tempted. Now let's look at these three
things. Restore such a one. Make every
effort to restore the fellowship and recover and resettle that
person back into the family of Christ. Don't cut him off, write
him off, but restore the offender. Don't destroy him. Welcome him
back into the church family. Restore such a one. Restore such
a one. I think we need to learn these
things to restore such a one and do it. Secondly, don't do
it with a holier-than-thou attitude. Do it in a spirit of humility. Do it in a spirit of meekness. This is to be done with gentleness
and in love. The fruit of the Spirit is what?
Love, joy, peace. It's not this holier-than-thou.
self-righteous attitude. You know what the Lord says about
that? Have you ever heard that statement, holier than thou?
You know where it comes from? It comes from Scripture. It comes
from Isaiah 65. Isaiah 65 verse 5 says this,
which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am
holier than thou. You know what the Lord says about
that? These are smoke in my nose. A fire that burns all the day
long. Self-righteousness and self-righteous
pride stinks in the nostrils of God Almighty. We read in Romans
15, 1, "...you that are strong ought to bear the infirmities
of the weak and not to please ourselves." So, restore such
a one, do it in the spirit of meekness and humility, and then
do it this way. Considering yourself, consider
yourself, you're the same flesh. You have the same potential to
fall. Consider yourself lest you also
be tempted. Now, all of us have the same
potential to transgress against God. We have the same weakness.
Let us remember this gruesome list of the deeds of the flesh
that's mentioned here over in chapter 5. It's only by His grace
that we stand. Now, we need to be on guard here.
Perhaps you're thinking, well, I'd never do that. I'd never
do that. Now, be careful. Be careful what
you say. Because it's best to say this,
I pray God will keep me by His grace because if He lets me go,
there is no wickedness that I'm not capable of doing. I've often
said this, and maybe it's overstating the fact, but if God removed
the restraining grace from off us, we'd all be just like Adolf
Hitler. Unrestrained flesh is wicked
flesh. Thank God He does restrain even
the wicked. Even the wicked. I'm glad He
restrains God's, He restrains His people by His grace. We only
stand by grace, by the grace of God. I am what I am. So let's
not be like that Pharisee who prayed in the temple, ìLord,
I thank you on this, I thank you on that, I've done this,
I've doneÖî And I'm not like that old guy over there! And
I never could be! Well, you know, the Lord turned
that upside down on that man. That Pharisee that prayed and
justified himself, he was condemned. The old publican that condemned
himself and said, God be merciful to me, a sinner." God said, that
man went down to his house justified. You see, it's just the opposite
that the way we naturally think. We would naturally think when
we look at that Pharisee, well, there's a holy man. If anybody
saved us, that man. And God said, that man went home
condemned. And we would naturally think, well, that old rotten
publican, he's a notorious sinner. Surely God's justice will fall
on him. God said, that's the man whom
I'm going to save. You see, God saves sinners, and
He keeps them by His grace. But let us not, let us be on
guard against this attitude of self-righteousness. I'm fearful,
and we still, we need to, we need to work on these things.
Now, verse 2, "...bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill,
honor the law of the Lord Jesus." Now, the word here that is used
in this text, Bear one another's burdens. Burdens. Burdens. It means to lift. It means to endure. It means
to sustain and receive and carry and take up that which would
weigh us down. Bear one another's burdens. Carry, consider and understand
the frailties and weaknesses of one another. For we all have
them. Isn't this exactly what the Lord Jesus Christ did for
us? He took all our infirmities unto
Himself. He bare our sin in His own body
on the tree. He carried the load of my sin
to Calvary's tree, and by His bloody death made full satisfaction,
justified us eternally, and completely saved us by His grace. That's what He did for us. We
read in 1 Peter 2.24, "...who His own self bare our sins and
His own body on the tree." He carried our sin. He was made
sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Being dead to sin. "...who His
own self bare our sins and His own body on the tree." That we
being dead to sin should live unto righteousness by whose stripes
we are healed. bear ye one another's burdens,
and so fulfill and honor the law of Christ." Now here's what
we read in 1 Corinthians 13. Love, talks about that whole
chapter talks about love, doesn't it? Love beareth all things,
it says in verse 7. Love believeth all things. Love hopeth all things. Love endures all things. And then it says, This love of
God that shed abroad by the Holy Spirit, that's not talking about
natural affection. This is talking about a spiritual
love. It says that this love never
fails. It never fails. Now I want you
to turn and read this with me. I want you to find Colossians
chapter 3. Colossians chapter 3. It says in verse 11, Christ is all
and in all. Colossians chapter 3 now look
at verse 12 put on therefore Put on therefore as the elect
of God holy and beloved bowels of mercy kindness humbleness
of mind meekness long-suffering Colossians 3 12 look what it
says verse 14 forbearing one another Forgiving one another
if any man have a quarrel against another even as Christ forgave
you so also do you above all these things put on love and
which is the bond, perfectness. And let the peace of God rule
in your heart, to which you are also called in one body, and
be ye thankful. Be thankful. And in doing so,
in doing so, we honor and obey the gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ, for He has given us this royal law. He said, By this shall
all men know that you are my disciples, That you love one
another, not bite and devour, but love one another, forgive
one another. That's His holy law. That's His
holy law. And it's the fruit of the Spirit.
Now look at verse 3 in our text. Galatians 6, verse 3. Now, He gives us some help here. If any man think himself to be
something, and he's writing to believers, When in reality in
himself, he is really nothing but sin. But if he thinks himself
to be, if he got this attitude, you know, I've arrived. Wait
a minute. When in reality is nothing, he
is nothing, he is deceived himself. Now let's be careful, the heart,
that word there, deceive. Be careful, the heart is deceitful
above all things and desperately wicked, Jeremiah 17.9. If in
my religious pride I think myself to be something or someone special
because I think, well, I'd never do such and such, I'd never do
such a thing, I'm totally deluded and deceived. It's only by His
grace. If we say we have no sin, singular
nature, we deceive ourselves in the truth, not in it. When
in reality, in myself, I'm nothing. Man at his best state is altogether
vanity, when in reality in my flesh dwelleth no good thing. All that I know, now listen to
me, all that I know, all that I am by His grace, all that I
have, all that I ever will be is by His sovereign mercy and
sovereign grace alone. Who made you to differ from another?
What do you have that you didn't receive? I've received salvation
totally by His grace." Now, be careful if a man thinks himself
to be something when in reality he is nothing. He's deceived
himself. You remember what the wise man
wrote, Solomon? Six things the Lord doth hate,
yea, seven. At the top of that list is pride,
religious pride. There's pride of face, someone
said, pride of race, pride of place, the worst of all is pride
of grace. God help us to be humbled and
help us to know that everything we have is by his sovereign mercy
and grace alone. Now, he tells us in verse 4,
let us examine ourselves. Let every one of us prove his
own experience. Let everyone prove his own faith. Let every one of us prove his
own work. Let's not consider ourselves
in the light of someone else's downfall. It's pretty easy to
compare yourself with someone who has fallen and think yourself
somewhat better. But let us not do that. He said,
let every man prove his own self. And then he shall have rejoicing
in himself. not in his deeds, but rejoicing
in his Savior, in his Lord, the Lord Jesus, in himself alone,
not in another. Now, here's what he's saying.
Let every one of us examine his own heart, his own conduct. 2 Corinthians 13, 5. You remember this scripture?
Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith, and prove your
own selves. Now, we're not to prove ourselves by the deeds
and sins of others. but we are to prove ourselves
in the light of God's glory and His holiness in the light of
our relationship to Him. How do we stand with Him? So
let us, every one of us, consider ourselves. I think of three men
who did this inward examination of their own heart, of their
own experience. I think of what brother Isaiah
said. Brother Isaiah said, I'm undone, I'm a man of unclean
lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips,
for my eyes have seen the King." How do I look in His sight in
myself? Oh, I tell you, that puts me
down way down in the dust as a worm that I should be. I think
of what Brother Job said. Here's his testimony. And I say
what Brother Job. Job said this, Job 42, 5 and
6, I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my
eye seeth thee, wherefore I hate myself. I repent in dust and
in ashes of what I am. I think what brother Paul said,
Apostle Paul, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from this body of death? Oh, I thank God through Jesus
Christ our Lord. See what he's saying here? Let
everyone prove his own self in the light of God's holiness.
What's my relationship to him in Christ Jesus? And then, then
we'll have rejoicing in ourself alone in Christ Jesus, not by
looking at someone else thinking we're a little bit better than
the other person. Now here's a scripture I want
you to turn and read. Read this, and you need to mark
this in your Bible. I want you to turn to 2 Corinthians
10. 2 Corinthians 10. 2 Corinthians 10, verse 12. For
we dare not, we dare not make ourselves of this number, or
compare ourselves with some that commend themselves. Now watch
what he says here. This is key. But they measuring
themselves by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves,
they're not wise. And they're probably not saved
either. Look what it says in this same
chapter, verse 17, "...but he that glorieth, let him glory
in the Lord." Let him rejoice in the Lord. And look at verse
18, "...for not he that commendeth himself, is approved. It's not the man that recommends
himself is approved, is accepted, but whom the Lord commendeth."
What's your relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ? That's what
it is. What do you think? Isn't that
what the Lord said to those men that day? When they peppered
Him with all those different questions, and He came back with
this question, well, what do you think of the Christ? That's
the issue. What's your relationship to the
Lord Jesus Christ? Are you in love with Him? Are
you found in Him? Are you one with Him? So let's
not compare ourselves among ourselves. That's not wise. It's not good.
Let's look at Him and see how vile and wretched we are in His
sight. And I'll tell you what that does.
It drives us to the Lord Jesus Christ who is our blessed refuge,
who is our hope. Oh, that I might win Christ.
and be found in Him. Then we shall have rejoicing
in the Lord Jesus Christ and not by comparing ourselves with
someone who has fallen or someone who is weaker." Now look at verse
5 in closing. I've got to bring this to an
end. And this will be the last verse
that we'll consider here in Galatians chapter 6 verse 5. Now we're
talking about You remember about those who have been taken, overtaken,
overrun with an error? He tells us to restore such a
one, to forgive such a one, and considering ourselves, lest you
also be tempted to bear one another's burdens. Now look at verse 5.
For every man, that is every one of us, every believer, shall
bear his own burden. This word here, burden, is a
different word that's used in verse 2. In verse 2, it had to
do with heavy loads or carrying or helping someone carry a load
in regards to a brother that's being pressed down by some trial
or burden. Carry is burden. He's not heavy. He's my brother. We help one
another. We carry one another's burden.
But here, the word has a different sense. Here the word is actually
a different word in the original. Here the word simply means something
to be born. Something that we as believers
must go through ourselves. Now the same exact word is used
in Matthew 11 verse 30. Remember what the Lord said there? For my yoke is easy and my burden
is light. Now my burden is light. Now I
can't I can't experience that for someone else. That's something
I've got to go through. I've got to experience that for
myself. And experience is not salvation, but salvation is something
certainly that we do experience in our heart when He does a work
for us. Every man shall bear his own
burden. Now, I want to use this in relationship
to the Day of Judgment. in the Day of Judgment, all judgment,
now listen to me, all judgment is relative to the Son, to the
Lord Jesus Christ. In that day, oh, to be found
in Him, to be found in Him. In the Day of Judgment we'll
answer for ourselves, not another. I'm not going to answer for my
son. My son's not going to answer for me. I'm not going to answer
for my dear wife, and she's not going to have to answer for me.
I'm going to have to bear this experience myself. I'm going
to have to go through this myself. This is something we must bear
before God Almighty in that day. I cannot answer for someone else."
And that's what he's saying here. I want you to turn and read this
with me. Turn to Romans 14. Romans 14. How will it be in that day? Romans 14. Look at verse 7. Romans 14, 7. For none of us
liveth to himself, and no man dies to himself. It's appointed
that a man wants to die, and after that, judgment, judgment. Look at verse 8. For whether
we live, we live unto the Lord. Whether we die, we die unto the
Lord. Whether we live therefore or
die, we are the Lord's. Look at verse 9. For to this
end, this purpose, this goal, this reason, Christ both died
and rose and revived that He might be Lord both of the dead
and of the living. He's every man's Lord. Every
knee is going to bow. Every tongue is going to confess.
He is Lord to the glory of God the Father. We're all going to
answer to Him, both the living and the dead. Now look at verse
10. But why dost thou judge thy brother? Why do you judge your
brother? Or why dost thou set it not thy
brother? For we all shall stand before
the judgment seat of Christ. As it is written, as I live,
saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall
confess to God. So then, every one of us shall
give an account of himself unto God. Let us not therefore judge
one another." Let's not do that anymore. Anymore. Now listen to me. Let me close
with this. In that day of judgment for the
believer, Although I'm going to answer for myself, and I'm
going to experience that myself, and I'm going to go through that
myself, but thank God I don't stand alone. Thank God I stand
upon the merit, and I stand in the Lord Jesus Christ, and He
really, He answers for me! Where's Tom Harding? And the
Lord Jesus Christ will stand up in that day. Here I am! Any
charge against that old boy? No. The record is clean. You see, I'm going to go through
that, I'm going to experience that, but I'm going to hear in
that day, come ye, blessed are my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Oh, I tell you,
that's something we're going to experience. And I'm going
to, oh, I tell you, that'll be a blessed day. I don't stand
alone. I stand in my substitute. Woe
unto those who have no substitute. Oh, what a terrible day that
will be. But it's a blessed, happy day. Thank God in the Lord
Jesus Christ I stand in my substitute who paid all the debt of my sin,
who has imputed to me and all of His people a perfect, justifying
righteousness, and upon His merit we are accepted in the Beloved. The Apostle wrote this in Romans
4, 6. Even as David also, Romans 4, verse 6 through 8, Even as
David also described it, the blessedness of the man unto whom
the Lord, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and
whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the
Lord will not charge sin, who can lay anything to the charge
of God. It is God who is justified. Who can condemn me? It is Christ
who hath died, yea, rather, is risen. He's ascended, and He's
seated, and He ever lives to make intercession for us. Romans 8 says, "...there is therefore
now no condemnation to those who are in the Lord Jesus Christ,
who walk not after the flesh..." It gets right back to that same
principle, doesn't it? "...who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit, seeking salvation in Christ. For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free
from the law of sin and death, Now, two more references and
I'll quit. I want you to find Colossians
again. Colossians chapter 1. We'll all be present in that
judgment and the Lord Jesus Christ will present us this way. Look
what it says here. Colossians chapter 1. Having made peace, verse 20,
let's read verse 19, Colossians 119. For it pleased the Father
that in Him should all fullness dwell, having made peace through
the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto
Himself. By Him, I say, whether they be
things in earth or things in heaven, and you that were sometimes
aliens, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers, it says
in Ephesians 2. Verse 12, "...enemies in your
mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body
of His flesh through death." Now watch this, "...to present
you holy in my substitute, in my Redeemer, I am holy in Him,
unblameable, unreprovable in God's sight." Now I might look
pretty sorry to you. But in God's sight, He sees me
as I am in my substitute, and He sees me complete in Christ,
in this day and in that day. And that's something I experience
now, all grace now, and all glory hereafter. One more Scripture. Jude, chapter 1, Jude. Right before the revelation.
Jude, we say chapter 1, there's just one chapter, but verse 24. Now unto Him, He's able. He's able to keep you from falling.
This is that keeping grace, fetching grace, saving grace, preserving
grace. Now unto Him that is able to
keep you from falling and to present you holy, unblameable,
unreprovable, to present you faultless, faultless. before the presence of His glory
with exceeding joy." You remember that scripture over there in
Hebrews where it says, He's not ashamed to call them brethren.
He won't be ashamed. He's not ashamed in this day
and He's not ashamed in that day to own me, to love me, and
to present me faultless before the presence of His glory with
exceeding joy. To the only wise God, our Savior,
be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. And the last word says, Amen. Amen. So be it. So be it.
