Hebrews 10 17-39: No More Sin

Q: What does the Bible say about forgiveness of sins?

The Bible affirms that through Christ, God will remember our sins no more (Hebrews 10:17). Hebrews 10:17 states, 'And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.' This profound promise assures believers that in Christ, their sins are completely forgiven and that God chooses to forget them. Through the sacrificial death of Jesus, the believer is provided freedom, pardon, and deliverance from sin, highlighting the total sufficiency of Christ's atonement. Thus, there remains no condemnation for those who are in Christ, which transforms the believer's standing before God, liberating them from the burden of guilt and shame.

Q: How do we know that there is no more offering for sin?

Paul explains that once Christ's sacrifice was made, there remains no more offerings needed for sin (Hebrews 10:18). In Hebrews 10:18, it is stated, 'Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.' This indicates that the sacrificial system, which provided temporary atonement for sins through animal sacrifices, was fulfilled and rendered obsolete by the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. His one offering on the cross is sufficient for all time, satisfying the wrath of God and securing eternal redemption for believers. Thus, there is no need for any further sacrifices or offerings, as his blood has perfected the conscience of the believer and made them acceptable before God.

Q: Why is the concept of being without sin important for Christians?

Being without sin is crucial for Christians because it reflects their standing in Christ, granting them bold access to God (Hebrews 10:19). The reality that believers are 'without sin' is fundamental in understanding their relationship with God. As stated in Hebrews 10:19, believers are encouraged to 'draw near' to God with confidence because their sins have been dealt with by Christ's sacrifice. This doctrine underscores their sanctification and righteousness in Christ, who has purified them with his blood. In Christ, they are seen as holy, unblameable, and unreprovable before God, which is essential for their assurance and their ability to approach God without fear of condemnation. This truth enables Christians to live lives marked by joy, confidence, and boldness.

Q: What is the significance of the veil being torn in two?

The tearing of the veil signifies that believers now have direct access to God through Christ (Matthew 27:51). The tearing of the veil in the temple at the moment of Christ's death, as described in Matthew 27:51, symbolizes the removal of barriers between God and humanity. Previously, the veil separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple, indicating that direct access to God's presence was restricted. However, through Christ's sacrifice, this veil was torn, signifying that believers can now enter boldly into the presence of God. This event emphasizes the completed work of Christ, establishing that the way to God is open, and affirming the believer's ability to approach God in worship, prayer, and communion without need of an earthly priest.

Q: How should Christians respond to trials and afflictions?

Christians are called to hold fast to their faith despite trials, trusting in God's promises (Hebrews 10:23). Believers face various trials and afflictions, yet Hebrews 10:23 encourages them to 'hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering.' This steadfastness is rooted in the faithfulness of God to fulfill His promises. The passage instructs Christians to remain anchored in their faith despite obstacles, knowing that their confidence in Christ rewards them. Furthermore, through communal support, they are encouraged to uplift one another in difficult times, exemplifying love and good works together. The perseverance amidst trials is essential for witnessing the transformational power of faith in God's sovereignty and capability to sustain them through life's challenges.

Alright, Hebrews chapter 10 verse
17 says, And their sins and iniquities will I remember
no more. No more. I read years ago of a Scottish
preacher. who carried about with him a
three-page tract. There was no writing on this
tract, just three pages. There were no pictures, just
three blank pages. But one page was jet black, cold
black, and one page was bright red, scarlet. And one page was snow white. And he would take this track
out of his pocket when he was around people. And he would look
at the first page, the black page, and then he would flip
it over and there was the red page. He'd flip it over and there
was the white page. He'd close it up. put it back
in his pocket. Invariably, someone would ask,
let me see that. What do you have there? Well,
he'd take it back out of his pocket and hand it to them, and
they'd say, look at it, and they'd say, well, what is this? There's no writing, there's no
pictures. He'd say, that, my friend, is the story of my life. You have in your hand my theology. you have in your hand my hope
for eternity." And the person would hold the little track and
look up strangely at the old man, like he'd lost his mind. Oh, he'd say, that's right. You
see, the black page is what I was, so depraved and so wicked and
so dead and sinned, so sinful before God. That black page is
the picture of my depravity and my corruption. It's so black,
dark, evil. And you see that red page? Turn
that black page over. See that red page? Well, that
red page is what Christ did. That black page is what I am,
and that red page is what Christ did. My Lord Jesus Christ came
to this earth. And he went to Calvary's cross
and shed his blood for my sins. He died for me. And you see that white page?
That white page is what I am now. For though my sins were so corrupt
and black and evil, his blood has made them as white as snow.
He's put all my sins away. And in the sight of God, I have
no more sin because Christ died. That's what Paul, or Paul's the
writer of Hebrews, the apostle says here, and their sins and
iniquities will I remember no more. I have no more sin. Isn't
that amazing? Isn't that good news? No more
sin. Past, present, or future. I don't think there are very
many people who understand what that really means. No sin. In the sight of God, the believer
has no sins. There is therefore now no condemnation
to them who are in Christ. No judgment, no condemnation.
No sins. My sins, O the bliss of that
glorious thought, my sins, not in part, but the whole, are nailed
to the cross, I bear them no more. No more. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord,
O my soul. Do you believe that? I don't see how you can have
any joy if you don't believe that. I don't see how anyone
could have any confidence of life if he didn't believe that.
No more sins. No more. Now, you're going to
remember them. David said, my sins are ever
before me. I remember them with regret.
Don't you? And unfortunately, our friends,
if we forget them, they'll remind us of them. Because they don't forget them.
They'll remind us, I thought you were a Christian. They're good at that. But thank God, my Lord never
reminds me of my sins. He said I'll remember them no
more. That's the truth. I have no sin. I have no sin. I have no sin. No sin. Who can lay anything
to the charge of God's elect? more sin. All right, the second verse,
verse 18 says, now where remission, what does the word remission
mean? It means freedom. It means pardon. It means forgiveness. It means deliverance, total deliverance. Now where remission of these,
these, what's these? My sins. Verse 17 says, there
are sins and iniquities. I remember no more. Now where
freedom from sin, freedom from iniquity, pardon, forgiveness
is, there's no more offering. No more offering. No more price
to be paid. No more payment. No more ransom.
Deliver him. Deliver him from going down into
the pit. I've found a ransom, a suitable
ransom. No more ransom. No more. No more sin, no more offering,
no more judgment. Who is he that condemneth? Christ
has died. There's no more offering. On
your part or God's part, there's no more offering. Don't bring
one now. If you want to bring an offering, if you want to bring
a gift, if you want to bring a deed, if you want to serve
God, if you want to offer a sacrifice of praise or thanksgiving as
a priest unto God from a generous, sincere heart, fine, but not
for sin, not for sin, not for sin. All right, verse 19, there's
no more offering. Now 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, now there's no more veil. There's no more sin. God's people
in Christ have no sin. In Christ there is no sin. In
Christ we are holy, unblameable, unreprovable. That's right, in
Christ there's no sin. And consequently, there's no
more offering, there's no more sacrifice, there's no more offering
to be made, because there's no more judgment. And therefore,
there's no more veil between God and us. What is the... We've been talking for several
weeks now about the veil in the temple. You have the holy of
holies, the holy of holies. And there in the Holy of Holies,
the Ark of the Covenant, and the mercy seat, and the cherubim,
and the glory of God, the Shekinah glory of God, the majesty of
God. And only once a year, the high
priest, not without blood, no one but the high priest, once
a year would come under that thick veil into the Holy of Holies
and bring the the incense and the blood, and he would sprinkle
the mercy seat, covering the broken law with the blood, and
he would slip out under the veil, and no one else was allowed in
there. What is that veil saying? That veil is saying two things.
We are sinful and God is holy. God is infinitely, unchangeably
holy, and we are unchangeably evil. But when Jesus Christ died on
the cross, our great high priest with that one offering, that
supreme offering, his blood, what happened to the veil? Well,
let's see. Let's turn to Matthew 27. Hold
Hebrews 10 there and turn to Matthew 27. What happened to
the veil in the temple separating the holy place, separating the the mercy seat,
the ark, what happened? Well, it says in Matthew 27.50,
And Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up
the ghost. Matthew 27.50, verse 51. And behold, the veil in the temple,
the veil of the temple, that one big veil, was rent in two
from the top to the bottom. And the earth did quake, and
the rocks rent. All right, go back to Hebrews
10. Now, you see what happened? Back
in Old Testament days, there was the Holy of Holies. There's
the ark and the mercy seat covering the broken law. Typically, as
a pattern, the high priest, with the blood, once a year would
come under the veil and sprinkle the mercy seat with the blood.
That's called an atonement. And that was done once a year
for many, many years, picturing Christ there. Now, our Lord died
on the cross. He is the great high priest.
Not with the blood of animals, but with his own blood. With
an everlasting priesthood, he died. And he gave his blood,
not here in this place, but in heaven itself. He entered not
the place made with hands, but heaven itself. and offered his
blood, our great high priest, for our sins. And when that happened,
God tore the veil in two. Tore the veil in two. And he
says here, verse 21, and having a high priest
over the house of God. Do we? Is that settled? Is it? That is for me. Then let
us draw near, not with an earthly priest to go
fire us, but let us, we're kings and priests unto God, every believer,
every one of you who believe, are commanded to draw near, to
draw near to God in prayer, in praise. Come to the Lord with
a true heart, with a true heart, with an open heart, with an honest
heart, with a sincere heart. Flee hypocrisy. Flee insincerity. Flee form. Flee ceremony. But come to God with a true heart
and come with full assurance that you'll be received. Full
assurance. Because your hearts have been
sprinkled from an evil conscience. This is not some priest going
in sprinkling a gold mercy sheet. God is literally cleansed and
purified your heart with the blood of Christ. There's no more
sin. David said, purge me with hyssop. That's what the priest used to
do, dip the hyssop in blood and sprinkle the book and the tabernacle
and the people and the mercy seat and everything. But your
heart's been sprinkled with pure, with the blood of Christ. And
your bodies have been washed Not like that priest who washed
himself in plain water, but you've been washed and sanctified by
the water that flowed from his side. Let thy wounded side, let
the water and the blood from thy wounded side which flowed,
justify and sanctify me. Sprinkle my heart and wash my
body. And I tell you, friends, If we
were not without sin, if we were not without sin, we couldn't
come into God's presence. You can't come into God's presence
if you have sin. It doesn't matter what you do
if you have sin. You've got to be pure, you've
got to be holy to come into God's presence. And so because Christ
gave himself and his blood And I remember their sins no more,
and there's no more sacrifice, and there's no more judgment,
and there's no more veil. So come on! Me? Yeah. You? Come on. Let's
come near unto God. Draw near. Secondly, let's hold
fast the profession of our faith. Whatever the trial, and I'll
tell you this life's full of it. Let's hold fast. the profession of our faith,
this faith. Don't hold our works, hold the
faith. You got to let anything go, let your works go, but hold
faith. Not your experience, you got
to let something go, let that go too, but not faith. Hold on
to faith without wavering. Whatever the trial, whatever
the trial, whatever the fear, whatever the disappointment,
whatever the misunderstanding, hold fast the profession of your
faith. Don't quit. For he's faithful
at promise. Old Abraham walked some rough
roads, but I'll tell you this, he believed that God was able
to do what he promised. God will do what he promised. Blessed is that man that continues
in faith. Continues in faith. God reveals
the gospel to him back here, marriage, and children, and jobs,
and hard times, and recessions, and depressions, and disappointments,
and children disappointed, and wound, and hurt, and friends
disappointed, and churches split, and all these things happen.
This is all, like the golfer said, par for the course. It's
all hazards. All to be expected. All these
things. And then you see him out here.
There's snow on the roof. And there's a halt in his step. And there's a wrinkle on his
brow. But he's still in the faith. God bless him. God bless him. That's old Abraham. That's right. That's where it is, I'm telling
you. Let's hold fast. Without wavering. Without wavering. I tell you, and how can you do
that? We used to anchor our ship when
I was in the Navy. I was on old flat bottom LST. And I tell you, that thing didn't
drop but six feet of water on the bow and twelve feet on the
stern. And you just, the tides would
just take it. Just take it. It'd just float,
get clear off course. But when we anchored that thing,
it'd float around, it'd spin around, it'd face this direction
and try that direction, but it never moved because it was anchored.
And you can anchor your ship in Christ. The wind will blow
it and rock it, and you'll think you're facing east, and next
thing you know you're facing west, next thing you know you're
looking at a storm from the north or the sun from the south, but
I shall not be moved. I'm anchored. within the veil. That's right. And that's what
he's saying, that you hold fast your profession. Don't you let
some con artist take it away from you. And verse 24, listen
to this, and let us consider one another. Let's consider one
another. How? Well, let's consider that
we're brethren, we're family. This is my family. Let's consider
one another to provoke unto love and good works, to encourage
one another. We're brethren, we're family, we're needy creatures.
I'm a needy creature. David wrote two or three times,
I'm poor and needy. We're brethren, we're needy creatures.
What do we need? We need love, we need encouragement,
we need comfort, sometimes we need assistance, we need help.
We need, we need these things. So let's consider one another. And we're frail creatures who
need forgiveness and understanding. You know, I get the impression
from some preachers today that God's people are reformed robots. That's what I get that impression
when I listen to some preachers. They're just reformed robots.
They're lost and then they come to the knowledge of the doctrines
of grace and they get saved And they're patterned, programmed,
reformed robots. And they've all these duties
and details and things that they just do. No, you're wrong. They're just people. They're
just frail, fleshly creatures. People. And they have highs and
lows, and they have ups and downs. and they have troubles and sorrows,
and they have trials, and they can't be predicted. That's right. They can't be predicted. There's
one predictability about us, and that's our unpredictability. So what do we need? We need help. We need encouragement. We need
love. We need forgiveness. push along
the road. We need to consider one another. That's what he's saying here.
He's saying there's no more sin, there's no more offering, there's
no more judgment, there's no more veil. Come on into the presence
of God. Let us draw near to God with
a true heart, with a sincere heart, with a heart sprinkled
from an evil conscience with the blood of Christ, with a body
washed and sanctified in the offering of Jesus Christ. Keep
that profession. And the one that's walking beside
you, help him along. Give him a boost. Give him a
little encouragement. Give him a pat on the back. Give
him a hand. Consider him. Encourage him to
good works. Right? That's what he said. And
let's not, verse 15, let's not forsake the assembling of ourselves
together as the manner of some is. Evidently there were folks
that weren't very faithful to worship the Lord and weren't
very faithful to assemble together. And he said, let's don't do that
now. Let's don't forsake the assembling of ourselves together
as the manner of some is. Why? I wrote down this question. Why should we assemble like this?
Why? Here's three reasons. One is
because of the Lord. Because of the Lord. The Lord
appointed worship. He appointed worship. The Lord
approves of worship. The Lord should be worshipped.
The Lord should be glorified in our worship. We ought to come
into the presence of the Lord with thanksgiving and with praise.
He's worthy to be worshipped. That's why we assemble in the
name of our God, to worship Him. And secondly, why should we worship
because of the Lord? And secondly, because of ourselves. I need to worship the Lord. I
need to come apart from the things of this world into the... I need
to come apart for a little while and be refreshed and be taught
and set my mind on the things of God and be comforted. I need that. I desperately need it. So do
you. And then thirdly, why should we assemble because of others?
Because of example. You know, turn to 1 John 3. 1
John chapter 3. Let me show you something here.
1 John chapter 3. A person, I wonder about this,
I don't want to be harsh and hard, but I wonder about this. An individual who does not love
the assembly of believers, who does not assemble with believers
to worship God, he just doesn't do it. who does not look forward
to coming together and reading this Word and singing these hymns
of praise and lifting our voices in prayer and being taught in
the Word, taught what the Word is saying. A person that does
not enjoy that and does not avail himself of that privilege, that's
a privilege, an opportunity. How dwelleth the love of God
in him? Now just honestly, how can such a person say he loves
God? He doesn't love the house of
God, he doesn't love the word of God, he doesn't love the people
of God, he doesn't love the presence of God, he doesn't love the gospel
of God. All in the world he's interested
in is the benefits of God. He wants to go to heaven when
he dies. And he fulfills certain obligations, as little as possible,
to try to guarantee some kind of ride to heaven. It says here in 1 John 3, listen
to this, verse 17, But whoso hath this world's goods, and
seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of
compassion from him, How dwelleth the love of God in him? You see
what John is saying here? He said, here's a man that's
in need. Here's a man that has plenty. And he doesn't help the
brother in need. You say, well, he doesn't love
God. How dwells the love of God in
him? Well, I say also, here's a man who doesn't love the assembly
of the saints and doesn't love the worship of God and doesn't
feel drawn. on a consistent, regular basis
to that worship, how dwelleth the love of God in him? Look
at the next verse. My little children, let us not
love in word what we claim, neither in tongue, but in deed and truth.
Isn't that right, Bob? I really believe that Religious people, I know, attend
services because they expect it to, because they have to,
because it's a duty, because of this, because of mama or daddy
or something else. But people who love God attend
the worship services because they love to, because they need
to, because they have an appetite, because they want to be fed,
because they'd rather be there than anywhere else. All right, look at verse 26.
Let me read this. Verse 26, For if we sin willfully
after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth
no more sacrifice for sins but a certain fearful looking for
of judgment and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversary.
What's this saying? If we sin willfully after we
receive the knowledge of the truth. Is this saying that if
we sin deliberately and willfully after we're saved, that then
we're lost? Well, that can't be. That can't
be. Abraham sinned willfully when
he denied Sarah and said, she's not my wife. He planned that.
In fact, he planned it with her. He said, he was just using reason. He said, this king's attracted
to you, he's infatuated with you, and you're a beautiful woman.
And if he finds out you're my wife, he's going to kill me,
though he can have you. He's got no scruples. So he's
just telling you you're my sister. Was that willful? What was he
lost? Well, what about David? Don't
you reckon David, when he found out that she was with child,
and her husband wouldn't cooperate, and he sat down, was it Joab?
He sat down with Joab and said, take him out and kill him. You
reckon he recognized willful? What was he lost? Well, when
Peter sat down by the fire, and there was our Lord being taken
to the cross, and he sat there, and he was scared to death. They
had arrested Christ, and they were beating him, and he's sitting
there, and this little girl said, you're one of the disciples.
Now, you reckon he meant to say, no, I'm not? Sure he meant to
say it. It went through his mind. They've got me. And if I don't
deny it, they're going to do the same thing to me they did
to him." And he just said, no, I'm not a disciple. And somebody
else said, well, I know y'all, your speech betrays you. And
then he cussed a little bit. He said, I'll tell them, I'll
show them. You reckon that's willful? I could go on and on
and on and on. I think most of your sins are
willful. You don't know about mine, but I believe yours are. Yes, sir, I believe many of our
sins are willful. All right, what is this saying?
I'll tell you what it's saying. It's saying, verse 26, what's
he talking about? He's talking about no more sin,
no more offering, no more sacrifice, no more veil, no more priesthood,
no more Levitical love. Christ has offered the one sacrifice.
Now, after having learned of Christ, After having received
the truth, after having received the knowledge of the truth, that
Christ is the fulfillment of all the types, the fulfillment
of the priesthood, Christ is the fulfillment of the sacrifice,
Christ is the fulfillment of the atonement, if we turn from
Christ, if we don't follow this way,
this sacrifice, this high praise, this offering, if we turn from
Christ, depart from Him, there's no more sacrifice. This Levitical
sacrifice is gone, and now His sacrifice is gone. You've got
no sacrifice. See what he's saying? You've
got no way to God. You've got no priest, you've
got no atonement. God has put the Levitical sacrifice away.
He took away the first. It is no more. There's no more
offering. He tore the veil in two. You
can't run back in there. There's no veil. There's no veil. You're going to turn from him?
You're going to turn from this gospel? You better be careful,
listen. He that despised, verse 28, Moses'
law, when they were under that Levitical law, he that despised
the Sabbath, and despised the tithe, and despised the firstfruits,
and despised those things, why, he died without mercy, under
two or three witnesses. Now just how much sore, look
at verse 29, punishment do you suppose should a man be thought
worthy who despises the blood of Jesus Christ? Now what do
you think God ought to do to him? Isn't that what he's saying,
Jim? See that, Ron? He's saying these
people back here under the Levitical law who despise the Sabbath day,
who despise the priest and the sacrifice, and God stoned them
without mercy. And that was just a picture.
How much sorer punishment do you believe a fellow is worthy
who hears of the love of God, of the grace of God, of the giving
of his Son, and the suffering of Christ, and the offering of
his blood? And he despises that. I've got
no... I'm... you know. Do the best
I can, God will be... I'll take it. You just do the
best you can. Live and let live. Verse 30 says, We know him that
hath said, Vengeance belongeth to me. I'll pay you all. God
will pay you. God will pay. God will settle
his bills. I read about a farmer one time. All the community folks went
to church, and they worshiped God, and they shut down on Sunday. But every Sunday he'd work in
the field. While they were all going to
church, he'd mock them. And he plowed on Sunday and planted
on Sunday. While the church was having services,
he deliberately did everything on Sunday. And one of the men
asked him one time, said, aren't you fearful to do that? Why,
he said, I plowed my field on Sunday this year. I cultivated
it on Sunday, I planted it on Sunday, and I reaped it on Sunday."
And in October, he said, I had the best yield of any farm around
here. And the man looked at him and
said, well, I know this, God doesn't always settle His accounts
in October. God said, I'll repay. Verse 31,
it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.
Do you see that? That's what he's saying. If we
sin willfully, if we sin willfully, after having come, and I've stood
up here and preached it all these years, all these years, not as
effectively as I would like to have, not as affectionately as
I would like to have, but I have preached it consistently, the
gospel, the blood of Christ. Now you turn from there. And
there's no more sacrifice. There remaineth nothing. Just one thing, just waiting
on judgment. You're just waiting for the axe to fall. That's all
now. But look at verse 32, and I'll
wind it up here. Listen, but call to remembrance. Let's do a bit of remembering.
Call to remembrance the former days in which after you... You
remember when you were illuminated? You remember when you first learned
the gospel? Call to that remembrance. When it first came to you, that's
the gospel. That's the gospel. That obedience
of Christ, that death of Christ, that blood, that's the gospel.
You remember that? And you endured a great fight
of affliction. You told your brother about it,
and he railed on you. You learned the gospel, and you
told your neighbor about it, and he said, you're crazy. Your
God's not my God. You remember that? You came home
and told your parents about how the Lord had saved you and how
you believed the gospel of God's sovereign, redeeming grace, and
they said, well, now, you reckon we are not saved?
Are you implying we are not saved because we don't believe this
gospel? You remember that? You remember that? And verse
33, "...partly while you were made a gazing stock, both by
reproaches and afflictions." Remember how they used to reproach
you? He's a Calvinist. Can't talk to him. He thinks
he knows everything, you know. And you became companions of
them that were so used. You remember some of you, these preachers we had around
here preaching the gospel, and folks didn't like them, didn't
like you because you liked them. That's what he's saying, companions.
And you had compassion on me, Paul said, in my bonds, and you
took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves
that you have in heaven a better enduring place. When I verse
35, don't throw that away. Don't throw that away. Don't
cast away your confidence. Don't grow out of Christ. Don't
let the things of this world and the people of this world
and the attractions of this world take you away from your foundation
and your confidence in Him, which hath great recompensive reward.
Verse 36, you have need of patience, that after you have done the
will of God, you might receive the promise. Satan, let me tell
you something, he comes in different ways, different ages, different
stages of life. He's a master at this. He's a
master at this. He knows more about human nature
than you and I do. He's been in the deceiving business
6,000 years. And he'll try different ways
to take you off your foundation, away from your confidence, away
from your complete rest in Christ. And he'll try anything. You see,
he's accuser of the brethren. He goeth to and fro seeking whom
he may devour. And verse 36 says, you have need
of patience, that after you've done the will of God, you might
receive the promise for yet a little while, and He'll come. He that
shall come will come. I thought when I read that about,
for some of our brethren, He's already come, hadn't He? He came this year several times,
didn't He? I'm glad they were faithful.
I'm glad they finished up in the gospel, aren't you? I'm glad. I'm glad that they died in faith. I hope you do and I do. I hope
we do. He'll come. He'll not tarry.
And the just shall live by faith. You know how many times that's
in the Word of God? That's in the Word of God four times. That
one statement. Habakkuk, Galatians, Hebrews.
The just shall live by faith. But if any man draw back, Those two words make me tremble.
They just make me tremble. I've stood up here all these
years, I've looked into a lot of faces, I've seen some stay
and some leave and some continue and some draw back, and it just
makes me tremble. If any man draw back, for whatever
the reason, there's no justifiable reason for leaving the gospel.
I'm not saying you have to hear me. I'm not at all. I'm not saying
that at all. Beg your pardon. You know better
than that. But I'm saying a person who loves
the gospel is identified with the gospel somewhere. Somewhere. Now that's just right. Somewhere
they're identified with the gospel. They're on the line. They're
committed. They're dedicated. They're sold
out, they're separated to the gospel, they're obsessed with
it, they're walking in gospel fellowship somewhere. If it's
not here, it's somewhere. But that person who has laid
her down has drawn back. But I tell you this, verse 39, let's read this together, everybody
in unison, let's read this together. Ready? Here we go. But we are
not of them who draw back into perdition, but of them that believe
to the saving of the soul. Boy, I hope so. Don't you? Man, I hope so. Here's where
I'm going to stay. Tom, you might leave me, but
I'm going to stay right here. I might leave you, but you better
stay here. I'm going to stay right here.
God being my helper and God giving me the grace, I'm going to stay
right here with the gospel.
