Filling Empty Vessels

Q: What does the Bible say about justification by faith?

The Bible teaches that justification is by faith alone, a central theme of the Reformation. Justification by faith is profoundly rooted in Scripture, notably emphasized in Romans 3:28, which states, 'For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.' This doctrine affirms that salvation is a gift from God, unearned and wholly dependent on His grace. The Reformation, led by figures like Martin Luther, highlighted this truth against the backdrop of a works-based religious system. Luther's stand for justification by faith remains foundational in Reformed theology, as it underscores that it is through faith alone that we are declared righteous before God, not by any merit of our own.

Q: Why is grace alone important for Christians?

Grace alone is crucial because it emphasizes that salvation is entirely the work of God, not by our efforts. The doctrine of grace alone is a pillar of historic Reformed theology, asserting that our salvation is solely by God's unmerited favor. Ephesians 2:8-9 encapsulates this truth: 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This highlights that human efforts or adherence to law cannot secure our salvation; it is a sovereign work of God. This frees believers from the burden of trying to earn God's favor and fosters a humble reliance on Christ's finished work, as His grace is sufficient for all our needs.

Q: What does Scripture alone mean in the Reformed faith?

Scripture alone means that the Bible is the ultimate authority for faith and practice in Christianity. In Reformed theology, the principle of Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura) asserts that the Bible is the only infallible rule of faith and practice. This means that no traditions, creeds, or human interpretations supersede the authority of Scripture. Isaiah 8:20 cautions, 'To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.' This emphasizes the necessity of adhering strictly to what the Bible teaches. Historically, this principle was championed during the Reformation as a call back to biblical authority, countering the traditions of the church that had become intertwined with faith practices, thereby ensuring that God's Word governs our understanding of truth and morality.

Q: How do we know God's sovereignty is true?

God's sovereignty is affirmed throughout Scripture, demonstrating His supreme control over all creation. The sovereignty of God is a fundamental truth affirmed in numerous biblical texts. Passages like Romans 8:28 proclaim, 'We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.' This verse reflects God's omnipotent governance over all events in life, guiding them toward His ultimate plan. Furthermore, Ephesians 1:11 states that God works all things according to the counsel of His will, assuring us that nothing occurs outside His perfect sovereignty. This truth encourages believers to trust in God's plan and purpose amidst life's uncertainties, providing comfort and hope that He reigns supreme over all circumstances.

Q: Why is Christ alone central to the Christian faith?

Christ alone is central because He is the sole mediator and source of salvation for believers. In the Reformed understanding, Christ alone (Solus Christus) is foundational to the Christian faith, representing the belief that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and humanity. John 14:6 states, 'Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”' This verse affirms that no one can achieve reconciliation with God through their own merit or works, but only through Christ's redemptive sacrifice. His fulfillment of the law and atoning death on the cross provides the means of salvation and eternal life, making Him the exclusive source of hope for believers. This principle assures Christians that their faith rests on the sufficient work of Christ rather than their own efforts, establishing a relationship based solely on grace.

almost 500 years ago out of dead
religious works. Religion was prevalent, but it
was a religion of works. Catholicism reigned almost everywhere. In fact, Luther himself was a
Catholic priest and monk. But God used this great man to
lead his people out of dead religious works, and set them against false
religious leaders and teaching, and brought them to rejoice in
justification by faith, to rejoice in Christ Jesus. That was the
theme of Luther's ministry, justification by faith, not by works. He was an extremist, but God
uses extremists. A man's got to believe something
and believe it strongly if God uses him. And God brought Luther
to lead these people to rejoice in justification by faith and
in a good hope of eternal life in Christ Jesus. Now, there were
three major issues that formed the foundation of that Reformation
to which we owe so much. I wish I had the time tonight
to dwell a little bit on how much we owe those faithful men. I'm a debtor, a debtor to so
many people. And I'm a debtor to Martin Luther
and John Calvin and Zwingli and those men who dared, who dared
to face the forces of evil, the forces of religious leaders,
and even the heads of state. Like that time when they brought
Luther to trial, God miraculously delivered that man through so
many impossible situations. And he stood out there in the
midst of of all of the leaders of Germany, religious leaders,
political leaders, and he stood alone. And they just demanded,
demanded that he recant, demanded that he take back the things
that he was preaching, demanded that he cooperate with the church. And he stood there alone, not
alone, God was with him, but he stood there alone as far the
arm of flesh is concerned, and he uttered those powerful words,
here I stand, here I stand, I can do no other. And there were three
major issues that formed the foundation of that Reformation
and every Reformation and every revival of And if God gives us
a reformation in this day, or a revival of truth and the gospel
in this day, and a recovery, as Barnard said, of the gospel,
he'll use, he'll build it on these three things. This is where
it is. First of all, it's grace alone,
salvation by grace alone, by the grace of God alone, not by
works, not by law, not by the deeds of religion and not by
human merit. Salvation is by the grace of
God through faith. That, none of you says, it's
the gift of God. Salvation is a gift of God. It's
not an offer, it's a gift. It's the free gift of God. Our
salvation from eternity past to eternity future, when we are
perfectly conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, is
by the grace of God. It's the free, sovereign grace
of God that saves us. And that's what they preached.
And secondly, the second foundation was this. Christ alone. Christ alone. Christ is all. Christ is the gospel. Christ
is salvation. Christ is our hope. Christ is
the way, the truth, and the life. He's everything. From Alpha to
Omega, beginning to end, Christ is all. Christ in you, that's
the hope of glory. You want to write a thesis on
hope, on life, then write it on Christ. On hope, write on
Christ. He's our hope. He's our life.
Not the church, not the saints, not our own righteousness, but
Christ alone. And the third foundation, and
certainly not the least, and here's where I'm coming, back
to where I was this morning, and that's the Scriptures alone.
The Scriptures alone. These men accepted only the Word
of God as their rule of faith, only the Word of God. Only the
Word of God as their rule of practice, only the Word of God.
Not our thoughts, not our ways, not our church traditions, not
our creeds, not our catechisms, and not our denominational standards.
If to the law and the testimony, if they speak not according to
the Word of God, it's because there's no light in them. God's
Word. Now, I wish to emphasize over
and over again that That is indeed the foundation of this ministry
and the foundation of this church. It's the free and sovereign grace
of God. We believe, we preach without
apology, like Luther of old, here I stand, I can do no other. Salvation by grace. I'll be merciful
to whom I will be merciful, I'll be gracious to whom I will be
gracious, saith the Lord. It's not of him that willeth,
it's not of him that runneth, it's of God that showeth mercy.
I told my Sunday school class this morning, it's not election
men hate, it's who elects. It's not choice that men hate,
it's who chooses. Every one of you practice election
and choice every day. You go to the store and buy a
pair of shoes. You don't buy everybody a pair of shoes. You
buy yourself a pair of shoes, or your wife a pair of shoes,
or your son a pair of shoes. Somebody says, that's not fair.
You ought to buy everybody a pair. No, it is fair. It's a choice.
It's your choice. You're married. You chose your
wife. You weren't unfair to every other woman in the town. You
didn't have to marry all of them. You chose your one. You exercised
choice every day. You live where you choose to
live. You eat what you choose to eat. You fellowship with whomever
you choose to fellowship with. So men do not hate choice. It's
who chooses that's the problem. They don't hate election. They
defend the right to choose. but not God's right to choose.
You see what I'm saying? It's God's choice that they hate.
And this church stands unapologetically, unashamed, unmoving, by the grace
of God. We preach the grace of God, we
preach Christ Jesus the Lord, and we preach the Word of God.
That's been the foundation that we've built upon for all these
years, and by God's grace It'll be the foundation for the future.
And I do believe that that's one of the reasons why God has
blessed this congregation. And one of the greatest blessings
that God, no greater evidence of God's blessings and mercies
upon a congregation than for Him to call their sons to preach
the gospel. I don't know of any greater evidence
of his presence and his blessings than for him to call out of our
midst our sons to preach the gospel. And he has done that. Tonight, up in Iowa, there's
a young man from this congregation, Joe Terrell, preaching the gospel,
pastor of a church. There's a young man tonight over
in Rocky Mount, Virginia, Paul Mahan, preaching the gospel,
pastor of a church. called out of this congregation.
Down in Lexington, Kentucky, a young man, Todd Nyberg, preaching
the gospel of grace, pastoring a church, leading God's people,
called out of this congregation. Brother Bill Parker, down in
Albany, Georgia, preaching the gospel of God's grace, pastoring
God's people, feeding his sheep, called right out of this auditory
market. Brother Charlie Pennington, Right
down the road, preaching the gospel of God's grace, sat with
you, worshipped with you all these years, and God put His
hand on him, called him out, took him down to pastor his people.
Brother Hap Yates, preaching down Dingus tonight, sat right
here with us and heard the gospel, loved the gospel. God called
him out to preach the gospel. And now this morning, the Zebulun
Baptist Church in Pikeville met together and called one of our
young men to come down and pastor them, preach to them, lead them
in the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ. I tell you, there's no
greater honor, there's no greater privilege, there's no greater
evidence of God's presence in a congregation than that God
should reach down and touch these young men. And here they sit,
the others, the elders, you've got five or six In this congregation
here, seven out pasturing here, five or six every Sunday, teaching,
preaching, out somewhere preaching, here preaching. Oh, it's such
an honor, isn't it? Praise God from whom all blessings
flow. Praise Him, all creatures here
below. Praise Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Praise His name. Thank Him. Thank
you. There was a missionary to Burma
by the name of Judson. You remember Judson, who was
a missionary to Burma for many years. He had a son whose name
was Felix. And Felix was a missionary too. He assisted his dad. He helped
his dad in the missionary work. Fine young man, but highly educated,
highly intelligent, well thought of, highly respected. Felix,
highly respected. And the Queen of England appointed
Felix an ambassador to India. Now most fathers If they had
a son of that quality and the Queen appointed him to be an
ambassador, you'd have to get another size hat or sew the buttons
on our vest. We'd be so proud. But when they
came to Mr. Judson and told him that his
son Felix had been appointed by the Queen to be ambassador
to India, the old man wept. and said, poor Felix, he has shriveled from a servant of God to a servant
of the Queen. He has shriveled from a missionary
to an ambassador. That's the way he felt. I know
that's hard for us to comprehend. We're just, we're so carnal minded
we don't think that way, but this man, this man felt that
the highest calling that God could give to any human being
was to entrust him with his gospel, with his Word, with his Word. Entrusted me, Paul said, with
the gospel. And God has entrusted us with
these things, his grace, his Son, and his Word. And oh, that
we might continue this ministry in that fashion, that it might
put us on our faces before God continually. Lord, keep us faithful
to your grace. Let no message ever come from
this pulpit or that one down there, Tom, or any of these others,
except that which magnifies the grace of God. There's no other
food worth eating, but grace, grace, and more grace. and oh
that we might magnify his blessed son and his word. His word. Many of you who have read after
some of the old writers are familiar with Thomas Goodwin. He was one
of the leading preachers of past years and when he was a student
He went to hear a Mr. Rogers speak on this subject,
the Scriptures. And during the message, Mr. Rogers rebuked the people for
their neglect of the Word of God. He rebuked the preachers
of his day and the people of his day for their neglect of
God's Word. And Goodwin wrote later about
that message, and he said, Mr. Rogers spoke as if God was speaking
to us. And he said, I have given you
my word. In it are the words of life.
In it is the gospel of my son, yet you've neglected it. You've
neglected my word. You've ignored my word. You set
your opinions above my word. You have left it to gather dust
in your homes. You care not to gather together
and hear my word preached. Well, you shall have it no longer. Your children shall grow up without
my word. Your generation shall be a generation
of darkness and ignorance when I take my word. away from you." Goodwin said, I left that building
contemplating such judgment, and I went out and stood by my
horse and laid my head upon my arms across the saddle, and I
wept, and I wept, and I prayed, Take not thy word from us. O God, take not thy word from
our pulpit. Send thy word forth in my day
with power. That's the prayer to Ahmed. Without him, we can do nothing.
Yeah, I'll tell you, without him we'll do something. We'll
mess up everybody's life. That's exactly right. We'll give
them a hope that is no hope. We'll cry, Peace when there's
no peace. We'll give them a refuge that's a refuge of life. Oh, I rejoice every service here
to hear these men read the Word of God. Let God speak. Let God be true. Let every one of us be liars.
I'd rejoice to say in each service, now turn to this passage of Scripture
and let's see what God says. Well, let's do that. I want just
for a little bit longer. Let me turn to 2 Kings chapter
4. 2 Kings chapter 4. 2 Kings 4. I'll tell you, anywhere
you turn in this Bible, you turn to His grace and His Son, His
mercy to sinners. Anywhere you turn. 2 Kings 4. It says here, Now there cried
a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto
Elisha. She cried to the prophet of God,
Elisha, saying, Thy servant, my husband, is dead. And thou
knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord. My husband feared
the Lord. He was a godly man. He was a
man who feared God. He was a prophet, a preacher.
And the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be slaves. Now you see the picture here?
A godly man had died and left his wife and sons with no support
and in death. And they were coming, the creditors
were coming to take these boys away to be slaves, to work off
the debt of their father. And this dear woman came to the
prophet of God and cried for help. Now the world judges men
by their material advantage, you know that's so. The world
judges men by their possessions, by their power, by their popularity,
by their wealth. God does not and we shouldn't.
Some of God's people are very poor. What preachers are preaching
today about health and wealth and all these things is just
not true. Some of God's people are very
poor. And over here in James, he gives us a commandment about
our attitude, what our attitude ought to be as far as riches
and poverty are concerned. Now, Paul turned to James chapter
2. Now Paul, the apostle, dealt
with this. He said, I know how to be obese,
and I know how to abound. I know how to handle both these
things. I know to be content in whatever
state God's put me. But here, listen to James 2.
My brethren, don't you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord of glory, with respect to persons, because of material
wealth? because of prosperity, because
of education, because of advantage. Don't you do that. For if they
come into your assembly, into your church, a man with a gold
ring and goodly apparel, now he's somebody, he's rich, you
see, you can tell by the way he dresses, that he's a force,
an influence, a power, a man with possessions. He comes in. And they come in your assembly,
a poor man, in vile arrangement. He's not dressed too well. He's
a poor man. He doesn't have anything. And
you have respect to him that wears the gay clothing? And you
say unto him, now you sit here. We're glad to have you. We're
sure pleased to have you. We need you. Your influence and
power and gifts. You sit here in a good place. And you say to the poor fellow,
you just ignore him or say to him, you just sit over there
or sit here on the footstool, just find your own place. Wherever
you can find a place to hang your hat, hang it. But the attention, and see this
is the way the world judges, this is the way the world thinks.
If a man is prosperous materially and physically and popular and
powerful, he's somebody. And a man that doesn't have anything,
no investments, and no wealth, and no property, and no power,
no influence, he's really not much. I tell you, our Lord Jesus
said there was a rich man that fared sumptuously, and he went
to hell, and there was a poor man that sat at his gate. Moreover,
the dogs licked his sores, and he went to Abraham. So let's
be careful about this now. He said, verse 4, Are you not
then partial in yourselves? You become judges of evil thoughts. Hearken, my beloved brethren,
listen to me. Hath not God chosen the poor
in this world? Rich in faith. That's the riches. That's true riches. Rich in faith.
Rich in grace. Rich in Christ. Heirs of the
kingdom which He's promised to them that love Him. So this man over here, back to
our text, 2 Kings 4, he wasn't much. He didn't have much. Very poor. When he died, he left
a debt. But he knew God. He's a child
of God. Child of God. And this woman
cried to the prophet for help. Cried for help. You know, I'll give you five
reasons to cry unto the Lord, whatever you need. Whatever you
need. I'll give you five reasons to
cry unto the Lord. There's a person in this auditorium
tonight, back, I guess, twenty-five years ago. Twenty-five years ago. This person's
almost as old as I am. But this person will remember
this. The person came into my study
and said, I'm just so confused. I'm not saved. I don't have any
peace or joy in my heart. I can't say that. My name's in
glory, recorded, can't say that I'm a child of God. I'm just
in doubt and fear. I live that way all the time. But this person continued and
said, and the strange thing is, I believe everything you read
out of that book. I believe everything you preach
in that book. I know you preach the gospel.
that Christ Jesus died for our sins, buried and rose again,
I know He's my only hope. Why am I not saved? I'm not the wisest person in
the world, but once in a while God gives me something to say.
And I looked at this person and I said, have you ever asked God
to save you? They looked at me and said, what?
I said, did you ever ask Him to save you? Have you ever fallen
on your face before the Lord and said, Lord, like the leper,
if you will, you can make me clean? Or like the publican in
the temple, Lord, be merciful to me, the sinner. Or like the
thief on the cross, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Have you ever asked Him? Well, there's a silence and the
person said, well, no. I said, why don't you? Why don't
you? He said, ask and it will be given
you. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened.
Come on now, I'm serious. Have you ever asked Him? Lord,
what did that man say? The Lord said, all things are
possible to them that believe. He said, Lord, help my unbelief. That's a prayer, isn't it? Help
my unbelief. I'll give you five reasons to do that. First of
all, listen, it's the nature of God to show mercy. It's the very nature of God to
show mercy. God is love. God delights to
show mercy. That's His nature. Secondly,
it's the chief glory of God to show mercy. Moses says, show
me your glory. He said, all right, I'll be merciful.
That's his chief glory. That which glorifies God more
than anything else is showing mercy to folks like us. Thirdly,
the Lord Jesus came into this world for that purpose, to show
mercy. I'm calm that they might have
life. That's why I'm calm, to save
sinners. Fourthly, that's his name. Deliverer. Did you know that?
Look up in your Greek and Hebrew concordances the word Joshua
and the word Jesus. Old Testament, Joshua. New Testament,
Jesus. Same word. You know what it means?
It means he will save. It means deliverer. The angel
said, didn't he, call his name Jesus, Joshua, because he's going,
that's his name. There's no reason for anybody
in here being lost tonight if you've heard the gospel. There's
no reason for anybody in here having polio if there's a vaccine. Isn't that right? There's no
reason for anybody in here to have smallpox if there's a vaccine. You say, well, I caught it. Then
you didn't take the vaccine. You didn't believe, did you? That's right. And there's no
reason for anybody in here perishing when the very nature of God is
to forgive, the very glory of God is to forgive, the very purpose
of his sending his Son is to forgive, the very name of his
Son is forgiver, deliverer, and fourthly, fifthly, the command
of God is to come. The command, that's what he said,
come! You say, can I come? He tells
you to. The gospel is not an invitation.
It's a command. God commandeth men to repent. He commands people to believe.
Isn't that right, John? It's a command. And when the
commander-in-chief issues a command, you've got permission to do it.
In fact, you've got a warrant to do it. I've got a warrant
for your arrest. My God sent me to tell you to
come. I tell you, when the servant
went down to Lodebar to get Mephibosheth, he didn't go down there and invite
him to come with him. He went down there and said, I got a
warrant for you. King David wants to see you, boy. And he wants
to see you right now. Now, did he have the right to
come? He was commanded to come. This woman went to the prophet.
and ask for mercy. All right, what did the prophet
say? Verse 2, And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me. What hast thou in thy
house? She said, Thine handmaid hath
not anything in the house, except a pot of oil. And then he said to her, Will
you go buy thee vessels? Will you go buy vessels? abroad,
of all your neighbors, empty vessels, and bar not a few. And
when you come in, shut the door upon thee and thy sons, and shall
pour out into all those vessels. Thou shalt set aside that which
is full." All right, what did the prophet say? What you got? She said, nothing but a little
pot of oil. Well, he said, you go out and
get as many vessels as you can. Don't get a few, get a lot of
them. Our God is able to do all things. Anything too hard for
God? Oh, I'm such a great sinner.
Get these vessels now. Not a few. John said, I saw a
great multitude. Come on, come on. Well, what
kind of vessels are they? Empty vessels. Not half-filled,
not primed with powder. Not primed with water, not primed
with oil, empty. Oh, I guess this is perhaps the
most difficult lesson for us to learn in coming to the Lord
for mercy, in crying for grace and salvation. We want to bring
something. We want to help. We want to contribute.
We want in some way our works, but don't bring anything. In
my hands, no price I bring. No works, no talent, no morality,
no ties, no religion, no promises, no pledges. Come empty. Empty. The dying thief rejoiced to see
that fountain in his day, and there may I, though vile as he. A man said to Spurgeon one time,
Brother Spurgeon, don't you think maybe that the greatest hindrance
to our salvation is our sinful self? Our sinful self. You know, you
look at that a little bit, that sounds pretty good. That sounds
like a lot of humility. Oh, I'm such a great sinner.
I'm such a great sinner. I've messed up my life. It's
a real hindrance because I'm such a great sinner. Don't you
think that the greatest hindrance to salvation is our sinful self?"
And Spurgeon said, No, sir. No, sir. The greatest hindrance
to our salvation is our righteous self. We just cannot come to
Christ empty. No man's too bad to come to Christ,
but many are too good. Christ fills the empty. Christ
clothes the naked. Christ heals the blind. Christ
raises the dead. Christ finds the lost. Come! Call on Him! Empty. That's what
he said. Empty vessel. All right, watch
this now. So she went from him, verse 5,
and shut the door upon her and her sons, who brought the vessels
to her. They went around and got all
these vessels. Empty vessels. Nothing in them. Clay pots. And she poured out. She just kept pouring. And it
came to pass when the vessels were full. Well, they were what?
Full. Oh, I tell you, from completely
empty to completely full. Bob, I can just see them just
running over. She just kept pouring all the
way to the top. Completely empty, completely
full of the oil, Spirit of God, grace of God. That's what our
Lord Jesus does for people who come to Him empty. His fullness,
of His fullness, that's what we have. from absolute ruin to
absolute restoration, from no righteousness to His righteousness,
from total guilt to total glory, from dead in trespasses and sin
to life forevermore. Full in Him dwelleth all the
fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are full, complete in
Him. You see, my friends, when an
empty sinner receives Christ, he receives everything that God
requires of him, commands of him, demands of him, and has
to give him everything. It's all Christ. The thief on
the cross, well, that's an empty vessel, isn't it? But I tell you, in that hour,
When he came to faith in Christ, he was as full of righteousness
and life and Christ and hope and holiness as the Apostle Paul
was when he died years later, having served Christ for 25 years. Is that right, John? That's right,
isn't it? In that moment, when he received Christ, he was meet,
sufficient, prepared for glory. All right, one more point. Verse 6, It came to pass, when
the vessels were full, she said to her son, Bring me yet another
vessel. And he said, There aren't any
more. And the oil stayed. It didn't run out. It didn't run out. God's grace
will never run dry. Oil didn't run out. It just stopped. Stopped pouring. There wasn't
any other place for it. Now, when did the oil stop? When the question was asked,
do you have another vessel? And the reply was, there aren't
any more. As long as there was an empty
vessel, the oil flowed. And I'll tell you this, when
is Christ coming back? As long as there's a center,
there's grace. As long as there's an empty center,
there's mercy. As long as there's a cry for
help, there's help coming. The well, it's not the well that's
dry, it's the thirst. It's not the cupboard that's
bare, there's no hunger. And when will it stop? Right
here. When will the oil stay? When
will the grace of God stop being manifested? When there's no place
for it. Am I getting through what I'm
saying? As long as there is a thirst, there is water. As long as there
is an empty vessel, there is oil. Just as long. But when the
last elect is found, that's when it'll stay. When the last stone
is laid in the temple, when the last person was in the ark, when
the last animal and person was in the ark, God shut the door. And that's when the rain fell. And that's all mine. She said,
bring me another vessel. He said, there's not any more.
And they all stopped. And that's when Christ will come.
As long as there's a hunger, there's mercy. Our Father, we pray you'd bless
the Word to our hearts. Thank you for your grace and
mercy in Christ Jesus. Oh, that we might hunger and
thirst after righteousness. For when we do, we'll be filled. Now use this Word for your glory
and for our profit and give us much wisdom for the things that
are ahead. For Christ's sake we pray, amen.
