Resting In His Righeouseness

All right, I'm going to bring
you a message tonight on the subject, Resting in His Righteousness. Resting in His Righteousness. Now, I don't know how much meat
is going to be on this skeleton, but I've got a good skeleton.
I've been studying, the last few weeks, the works of an old,
old writer by the name of Ebenezer Erskine. And I've been tremendously
blessed by some of the things that he has to say in his books. And tonight I have five questions
that I want to ask myself and ask you concerning this thing
of resting in his righteousness. Now, I received a letter just
recently in which a friend wanted to know if I thought people were
converted or saved under what we call Arminian preaching, Arminian
free will preaching. I don't know exactly how I'm
going to answer that question, I don't think there are a whole
lot of folks saved under grace preaching, or Arminian preaching either.
I just don't think there are a whole lot of folks in this
world saved. Now we might debate and argue
all we like about who's saved and who's not saved, who's going
to heaven and who's not going to heaven, and who really knows
God and who doesn't know God. But I'm telling you this. Now
you get this, and let me get a hold of it too. There are three
things, there are three things beyond a shadow of a doubt as
sure as this Bible is the Word of God. There are three things
which the Law of God, the very character of God, and the Kingdom
of Heaven insist upon. insist upon and must have if
any man sees God. There are three things. It doesn't
matter whether he professed under Arminian preaching or Grace preaching,
whether he made a profession when he was young or old, whether
he had a climactic experience or no experience. There are three
things that the law of God demands, the character of God demands,
and the kingdom of heaven demands. Three things. Number one is holiness
of nature. You must be born again. Didn't
our Lord say that? M-U-S-T. You must. Flesh and blood will not inherit
the kingdom of God. I don't care if it's Baptist
flesh or Methodist flesh or Arminian flesh or Grace flesh. We've got
to be born again. That which is born of flesh is
flesh. And our Lord said, except a man
born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. He cannot enter
the kingdom of God if he's not born again. When we were born of our parents,
we received a fleshly, carnal nature. We've got to be born
from above. We've got to be born of God.
It doesn't matter whether you've come down an isle a dozen times,
been in the water half a dozen times, or joined a half a dozen
churches. Memorize doctrine, scripture,
whether you're a preacher, deacon, or what you are. This flesh,
this old nature, this carnality is going to be put in the grave.
And the spirit, the God who gave it, has got to be a new life,
a new nature. We died in Adam. Do we understand
that? We D-I-E-D, that's the way you
spell it. I've done that so many times.
It told me one time, yeah, I said two and two equals five. Well,
when you start spelling, you get in trouble. We died in Adam,
spiritually. We've got to be made alive. Now, you can, whatever you want
to add to that or whatever you want to say about it or think
about it, ye must, must, must, must, must be born again. Except
a man born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God, he cannot
enter the kingdom of God. Is that correct? Lord, here's
the second thing. There are three things that the
very character of God demands. The law of God demands in the
kingdom of heaven excludes all who don't have it. And the second
is a righteousness of life. A righteousness of life. There's
got to be not only a holiness of nature, there's got to be,
must be, has to be a holiness of life. Who shall stand in His holy presence? Who shall ascend into the hill
of the Lord? He who hath clean hands, in other words, clean
hands, pure heart, who hath never sinned, who hath never lifted
up his soul to vanity, who's never sworn deceitfully. Our
Lord said, accept your righteousness, your holiness. Without holiness,
no man is going to see God. To offend in one point of God's
law is to be guilty of the whole thing. You say, I'm not bad as
some people. That's not the issue. You're
not as good as God, and that's the criteria. Well, my life hasn't
been so spotted and so tainted and so marred with sin. I've
stayed out of the dens of iniquity. But you're not as good as God.
So it doesn't matter how high you climb, if you can't make
it to His holiness, you've fallen short of His glory. It doesn't
matter whether you're a harlot in the ditch or the finest moral
mother here tonight, you're short of the glory of God. And you're
both on the same plane and going to the same condemnation. We've
got to have holiness of life, righteousness of life. You see
that? Except your righteousness exceed the very best holiness
ever produced by a human being, you shall in no wise enter the
kingdom of God. That's what my Lord said. All right, thirdly, there must be a satisfaction
for all our sins before the justice of God. Somebody's got to die
for what I've done. Isn't that right? Without the
shedding of blood, there is no remission. The soul that sinneth,
it shall surely, surely, surely die. Sin, when it is finished,
bringeth forth death. God must. He cannot clear the
guilty. He said He cannot clear the guilty. I'm guilty. And see, this is where the good
news of the gospel enters. The disciples then said, well,
who can be saved? And you may be asking the same
thing. I'm asking it. Who can be saved? Well, our Lord
said, with me, and it's impossible. I don't care whether he's an
Arminian or Calvinist. It's impossible. It doesn't matter whether he's
heard the truth or hadn't heard the truth. It's still impossible
for him to be saved by his own efforts or deeds. It's impossible.
Salvation is something a man cannot accomplish, he cannot
do. It's impossible with me. He cannot
please God. In the flesh, no man can please
God. In the flesh dwelleth no good
thing. Nothing. But these three things are all
met in Christ, and they're all mine in Christ, and they're all
supplied in Christ, because with God all things are possible.
Is anything too hard for God? God can save a wretch like me. It was John Newton who was sitting
in his study one day and William Jay walked in. That's two names
that are familiar to some of the avid readers here. Reaches way back into the past.
And William Jay said, good news. Good news, Brother Newton. He said, Brother, so-and-so in
Bath County, I believe that's where it was, Bath County, has
been converted to God. Such a wretch, such a rebel,
such a terrible sinner. God saved him, gloriously saved
him, well saved him. Newton said, I'm so glad, I rejoice. And Mr. J stood back and said,
you know, John, he said, now that God saved that
that terrible sinner, I'll never despair of another." Sounds good,
doesn't it? To which Mr. Newton replied,
Brother Jay, since God saved me, I've never despaired of another.
Do you feel that way? Well, you see, that new nature
That divine nature, that holiness of nature, is ours through the
new birth. Let me show you that in Scripture.
Turn to 1 John 3. 1 John 3. What did I say? A man must have
a new nature, a divine nature, a holy nature, the nature of
God. And that's born of God. 1 John 3, 9. Listen. Whosoever
is born of God. Born of God. Now, look up here
just a moment. He came unto his own, and his
own received him not. But as many as received him,
who believed on him, who rested in him, to them gave he the right
to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name,
which were born, not of blood, not of the will of man, not of
the will of the flesh, but born of God. And even that in us which
sees the beauty of Christ and which hears the call of God,
and which understands the grace of God is that new nature born
of God. The old nature does not believe
it. To the old nature, the preaching
of the gospel is foolishness. But whosoever is born of God
does not commit sin. For his seed remaineth in him.
He cannot sin. He is born of God. I have a nature
that cannot do right. But thank God I have a heavenly
divine nature that cannot do wrong. born of God. That's right. The divine nature. I've been born again. I've been
equipped for heaven because I have a nature that will enjoy heaven.
I have a nature that will be at home in heaven because it
came from heaven. It's not of the earth. It's the
gift of God. The wages of sin is death, but
life is the gift of God. Spiritual life. He restored my
soul. I'll be comfortable in glory.
An unregenerate man, if he could get to heaven, wouldn't be happy.
He wouldn't be comfortable, he'd be miserable. He's miserable
even in the company of saints here. What would he be in the
company of angels? What would he do in the presence
of God when he's miserable now, even in the company of those
who talk about God? So we have a divine nature. Secondly,
in Christ we have a righteousness, a righteousness of life. Turn
to Romans 5, verse 19. Romans 5, 19. For as by one man's disobedience
the many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall
many be made, what? Righteous. But now the righteousness
of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and
the prophets, even the righteousness of God, which is by the faithfulness
of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe, for
there is no difference. He was made sin for us that we
might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Yes, I have a
perfect record, but it was performed and it was purchased by the Lord
who loved me and gave Himself for me. We do have a holiness. We do have a righteousness. In
fact, Paul said, who can lay anything to the charge of God's
elect? Who is he that condemneth? Christ died, yea, rather is risen
again, who is even at the right hand of God, and on top of that,
he makes intercession for us. And then satisfaction for sin.
My friends, the debt's been paid. Turn to Romans 8. Romans 8. Justice has no claim on God's
people. The law has no claim on God's
people. In Romans 8, verse 1, there is
therefore right now, not later, not in heaven, right now, no
charge, no judgment, no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus.
who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. For the
law of the Spirit of life in Jesus Christ hath freed me from
the law of sin and the law of death. For what the law could
not do, the law couldn't save me. Why? Because it was weak
through the flesh. The law wasn't weak, the flesh
was weak. God sending his own Son in the very likeness of sinful
flesh in the form of a servant flesh of our flesh, bone of our
bones, for sin he condemned, as a sacrifice for sin he condemned
sin in the flesh, that the righteousness, the very holiness of the law
might be fulfilled in us. I ask you tonight, I ask myself,
has the righteousness of the law, the very holiness of God
been fulfilled in you and in me? And then you get beyond this
arguing over who's saved, who's not saved, when I'm saved, when
so-and-so is saved, who's going to heaven, who's not going to
heaven. Here's the thing. If I've been given by the Spirit
of God, life eternal, I'll live eternally. If Jesus Christ has
genuinely and certainly and surely wrought out for me through His
representation and obedience a divine righteousness and a
holiness, nobody can send me to hell. That's what Paul said, who can
lay anything to the charge of God's will? I have a righteousness,
I have nothing for which to go to hell. The law of God cannot
put me in hell, I've obeyed it. It said, do this and live. I've
done it. If Christ is my righteousness, if Christ is my sin offering
and my debt's paid and my sins have been paid for and put away
and covered and He's my propitiation, how can I possibly be damned? The justice of God cannot twice
demand. First from my bleeding shirt,
His hand, then again at mine. It's not possible. So that's
my stand, Brother Payne. It's not what I've done, or what
I've accepted, or what I've felt, or what I've professed, or what
I've given. It's what He has done. One thousand percent. Now the question is, how can
I know that this old sinner here is resting, trusting, believing
in Christ alone? And the righteousness of the
law has been fulfilled in me. I ask you five questions. And
these are good. I tell you, I worked me over
with them. I don't bring anything in here till I've tried it on.
And if it fits, I know it will fit you. We're the same size.
All right, here's the first one. I ask myself and I ask you, has
the law and the holiness of God slain you? Shut your mouth completely. and destroyed your righteousness?
You can't wear both. And that's the question. Has
the law of God, has the holiness of God shut your mouth, slain
you, and destroyed your righteousness that you might rest in His? Has
it? Oh, I hear Isaiah cry as he beholds
the holiness of God. I'm cut off. I'm undone. I hear Job, upon seeing the holiness
of God, cry, I hate myself, I repent in sackcloth and ashes. I hear
Saul of Tarsus, the champion of human works, the champion
of self-righteousness, cry, I died, I died. I hear him say, I count
all that I am and all that I have and all that I've done, done. Dumb, rubbish. And all that I'll ever do to
be lost, that I may be found in Him, not having any righteousness
of my own. I have none. Now try yourself on this. He'll
not share His glory, and His glory is in His redemptive righteousness. Try yourself. I know we read
these scriptures, but are my righteousnesses really filthy
rags? Honestly now, come on. Honestly? Has my fig leaf cover really
and truly been swept away? Is there really nothing, nothing
in which I can boast? Come on. Well, watch it now. Nothing. Nothing in my hands I bring.
Simply to the cross of Christ I cling. Simply, singularly. Could my tears forever flow?
They hadn't flowed forever, but maybe I'm proud of the two or
three I have shed. Could my zeal, no, anger, no,
no respite, well, I can't work around the clock, but maybe I'm
a little bit proud of what I have done. These for sin could never
atone. Christ must save. Christ alone. Is that really true? Well, if
it is, then you're resting in the righteousness of Christ.
If it's not, you're not. Is that not true? I think there's
no debate left there. What is my question again? I
ask, has the law and the holiness of God really slain you? Can
you say with Paul, I'm dead, nevertheless I live, yet not
I. Christ liveth in me, but I'm
dead. And my righteousness is gone. Alright, here's the second question. It's appointed unto me and wants
to die. After that, the judgment. Is that true? It is for a fact. Then I ask myself, and I ask
you, when you stand before God's tribunal,
and it says it is appointed unto me and wants to die, and after
that, judgment, judgment, And we shall be tried. The believer
is not going to slip around the judgment now. Every man shall
give an account of himself to God. You know what it says? We
shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Death and hell
delivered up the dead. The sea gave up the dead. When you stand before God's tribunal,
I ask you and I ask me, where and in what? shall I find my
hope of acceptance and justification in that day. If thou, Lord, shouldest mark
iniquity, who would stand? Old Roland Hill said he dreamed
he died. He's the one who said, No sermon
ought to be preached unless it contains the three R's, ruin
by the fall, redemption by the blood, regeneration by the Spirit. But he said he dreamed he died,
and in his dream there was a great valley, a huge valley. It looked like it went for miles.
And in that valley were Millions and millions of people, just
people. He said when he stood and looked around there were
people, people everywhere. All sorts of people. And he realized
he was at the judgment. And it struck him that he was
before the judgment throne of God. And he said he didn't see God
or see anything because all he could hear was voices and he'd
hear a name called. And someone would answer, and
that person would be sent away from the presence of God. And
he said, I sat there on a rock in my dream, and I thought, am I saved? Well, surely my name will not
be called. I'm a preacher. I preach the gospel. I believe
the gospel. But he said he was doubtful and
uncertain. And he was afraid. And he said he didn't know how
long he sat there, but he heard, Roland Hill! And he said, when I heard that
name, my knees wouldn't even let me stand. They wouldn't support
me. He said, I remained seated. I
couldn't get up. Damned. Eternally damned. Sent away from the presence of
God, Roland Hill. I couldn't get to my feet. I
heard, Roland Hill! And he said, then in my dream
I heard someone say, Here! And he said, then my legs supported
me. Because he said, I jumped up
to see that other Roland Hill. And he said, I looked and there
he was. With the nail prints in his hand and in his feet. and in his side. And he said,
my father, I'm rolling hill. And the books have no charge
against me, because I've met every demand of the Lord. And
justice cannot touch me, because I've fully borne all of its vengeance. And the father said, enter ye
blessed into the kingdom prepared for you. Now brethren, that's
my hope at the judgment. That when my name is called,
if such be the case, I don't know, but that was a dream. But
my stand at the tribunal of glory, I stand in him my surety. I stand
in him my righteousness. I stand in him my sanctification. I stand in him my atonement. The believer shall say, surely
in the Lord have I righteousness. But brother man, did you not
confess Christ? Yea. Did you not faithfully attend
church? Just about every night, somewhere.
Did you not help the weak and the poor? Yes. Did you not give
to the missionaries? Yes, I love them. Did you not
preach and teach? Did you not pray? Did you not
die with your faithful to the gospel? Oh yes, but my cry is
before God, away with it. It is dung and it is filthy rags
in the light of His holiness. It is nothing, all of it together. Nothing, less than nothing. He's
my ransom. Before justice, He's my righteousness. Before the law, He's my refuge
from avenging justice. He's my robe to cover my awful
nakedness, and He is my claim to glory. Are you resting in Christ? Well,
I got by those first two, did you? And I'm happy. But I have
another one. And let me lay this premise.
It is true that in Christ we have been redeemed from the curse
of the law. It is true that the penalty of
the broken commandment is gone. We're not under the law. We're
not under its curse. We're not under it as a covenant.
But we're under the grace of God, and the love of Christ is
our rule of life. But my friends, the Word of God
says His commandments to the believer are not grievous. The Word of God says, Christ
says, take my yoke upon you and learn of me. I am meek and lowly
of heart and you will find rest unto your souls. My yoke is easy
and my burden is light. Did not Paul say, even when he
was declaring his freedom from the curse and condemnation of
the law, did he not say, And when he was declaring his weakness
before the law, did he not say, I love the law of God? I delight,
I delight in the law of God after the inward man. So my question
is this to myself and you. What is my general attitude toward
the commandments of Christ? My general attitude. Now, there
are a lot of commandments of Christ. He said, this is my commandment,
that you love one another. This is my commandment, that
you love one another. Did He not say, be ye merciful
as your Father in heaven is merciful? Is that not His commandment?
Did He not say, as you would, that men should do unto you,
you do unto them? Did he not say, if a man takes
your coat, give him your cloak also? If he demands that you
walk him out, go to with him. Give, and it shall be given to
you. Full measure, pressed down and running over. Did he not
say that? Did he not say, through the apostle Paul, husbands, love
your wives? Wives, be submissive to your
husband. Children, obey your parents.
Did he not say, through Paul, be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted? forgiving one another as God,
for Christ's sake, forgave you. Did He not say, Beloved, avenge
not yourselves? Did He not say, Let this mind
be in you which is also in Christ Jesus? So I ask myself, what
is my attitude toward this life of righteousness? Is it indeed my way? Is his way
my way? Oh, imperfect to say the least. But is it not my way? Is it not
my desire? Is it not my wish to walk in
Christ? As you have therefore received
Christ, walk in Him? I tell you, the believer, the
true believer, never justifies his sins. He justifies God in
condemning them. He justifies God in chastening
him. He justifies and clears God when
he speaks, but he never clears himself. He never blames his
sin on God or anybody else. He takes the full blame. And
he wishes that he could live without it. Believers do sin,
there's no question about that. Every one of us have to say with
the Apostle Paul, I'm the chief of sinners, but I do not like
it. I'm the chief of sinners, but
I don't like my office. Right? The believer's inability
to perfectly obey the will and commandments of God does not
lessen his desire to do so. Is that right, John? You two fellows are two of the
oldest ones in here. Your inability through these
years has never dulled your sensitivity and desire to be just like God.
Isn't that right? That's right. And you'll say
like David, I'll be satisfied one day. I'm going to be fully
victorious one day. I'm going to be like him. That's
my ambition, that's my goal, is to be like Christ. Now that's
so. And they can accuse all they
want to of God's preachers of grace being antinomian, but I'm
like Spurgeon, I don't mind being called one, but I sure don't
want to be one. Because they're not. They delight
in the law of God. They delight in the law of God.
They delight in the commandments of their Lord. That's what I
want. I want to love people, don't you? I want to love God
and love people. I want a life of humility and
a life of faith and a life of patience and a life of generosity. I want to be generous, don't
you? Kind and compassionate. I know you do. And that's a mark
of the redeemed. And I'll tell you, a person who
does not pant after that type of walk in life. Just doesn't
know the Redeemer. All right, verse 4. I mean verse
4, question 4. And that statement, that question
there brings me to this one. Brings me to this one. Do you
and I Do you and I truly have an inward conflict and battle
with ourselves? David said, I'll be satisfied.
Then that means you're not now. You're not, are you? I tell you, Paul had a conflict.
Turn to Romans 7. You're already there if you look
at Romans 8. Romans 7. Paul had, do you, here's the
question, do you and I truly, do we truly, we talk about it,
but do we really have a conflict? Do we really abhor ourselves
and hate our sinful selves and hate our evil words and sinful
thoughts and battle? Do we really have a conflict?
Paul did. He said in Romans 7, 22, I delight
in the law of God after the inward man, but I see another law in
my members, warring. That's a war now against the
law of my mind, bringing me into captivity of the law of sin,
which is in my members. Let me see if these things are
not true. Listen to me here. I jotted down these things. See
if this is true. Number one, in every believer
there is a spirit of holiness which delights in the truth of
God, the law of God, the word of God, and the holiness of God,
and desires to be like Christ. But in every believer there remains
the motions of flesh, the motions of sin, and the passions of the
old nature, the appetites of the old nature remain. They are
present and they are often so strong and they just will not
be finally slain. They just won't go down and stay
down, will they? Isn't that true? All right, thirdly,
but in every believer there's a trust in Christ. There's a
faith in Christ alone, faith in His obedience, and faith in
His blood, and faith in His sacrifice, and faith in His mediatorial
work, and faith in His sin offering. We've ceased from laboring, we've
ceased from trusting anything but Him, and we look to Him,
believe Him, rest in Him. Is that not right? But is this not true too, fourthly,
occasionally, maybe not all the time, maybe more than some, less
than others, but occasionally in every believer, there arises
a thought which reaches back to that old covenant of works. And every once in a while we
have to deal with our pride. Do you ever have to deal with
self-righteousness? Maybe we've had a feeling of
satisfaction. Maybe we've done a good work.
Maybe we've prayed a good prayer. Maybe we've performed a good
deed. Maybe we've given a sizable offering. Maybe we've had a good
devotion. Maybe we've preached a good sermon. Maybe we've given
someone a kind word and an act and does it fleetingly for the
moment think, I've done good. Come on, I've really, I've done
good. So you see, We don't only have
a battle with lust and a battle with sin and a battle with evil
and a battle with appetite. We've got a battle with self-righteousness.
We've got a battle with the big head. We've got a battle with
pride. You just name it and we're engaged
in it. And this is a battle. Paul said
it's a war. It's a field of battle. My heart
is a field of battle. My soul is a field of battle
where two armies are engaged, where the spirit and the flesh
are contrary one to another, and they never let up. Never
let up. Do you have that problem? Well,
the natural man doesn't because the world is his life. The more
evil he can enjoy, the happier he is. He has no battle, he has
no conflict. The legalist has no conflict,
he has no sin. The hypocrite has no conflict
because he's laboring to please men, and when men see his good
works and honor him, he's got what he's looking for. But the
redeemed has a conflict, for the motions of sin to him are
a matter of humiliation. And the feelings of self-righteousness
strike fear in his heart. I mean real fear. And he's jealous for the cause
of Christ and jealous for the gospel. And that conflict never lets
up. Now then, I believe men and women
who, for the cause of Christ, and for the glory of God do have
a conflict within. I believe they know something
about the grace of God. And I believe those who are strangers
to this conflict and this battle of spirit and flesh are strangers
to the righteousness of Christ. I really do. Well, I've moved through those four.
I believe most of you have because I know you. I know you well enough.
But here's the fifth one. And I believe if we can come
through this one, we are possessors of a good hope. I really do. Finally, my brethren, when my
conscience is bleeding and when my soul is bowed down through
some wound, whatever it is, the guilt of sinful thoughts, The
shame of words or deeds, the terrors of the law, the coldness of heart, neglect
of prayer, fear of death, murmuring at God's providence. A lot of
these things. Too much concern for the world,
too little concern for God. You ever have a problem with
that? Well, when that comes, when that
bleeding, that conscience is bleeding, wounded, wounded, when that fear and doubt and
question clouds your mind, I ask you, where do you run for relief? To whom do you go for peace when
you're in trouble? spiritual trouble, where do you
go? Well, some people run back to
their profession of faith and say, well, I believed on Jesus.
I'm saved. I'm all right. Now, don't fear
worrisome hearts. You'll be all right, because
you did believe. And the preacher said you're
saved. And some people run to their deeds. Well, I mean, that
wasn't right, but I've done some right things. Some people run to the duties
of religion. Some people run to a doctrinal refuge. Well,
I believe in the sovereignty of God. And I believe God's on
the throne. I believe He has a people. And
I believe Christ died only for the elect. Some people, when
their hearts are bleeding and consciences are wounded, they'll
run to a preacher and say, I need to talk to you. You need some
counsel. What's the problem? I don't think I'm saved. Well,
he can't save you. He doesn't know whether you saved
him. Maybe he thinks you're not saved. Some people run to a counselor,
run to a marriage counselor, run somewhere. Some people run
to the revival meeting and rededicate. Where do you run? I'll go to Jesus. Though my sin
hath like a mountain rose raised, and I'll say to him, I'm a wretch
undone without your sovereign grace. I can but perish if I
go, I am resolved to try. For if I stay away from him,
I must forever die. He is my surety." That is what
David said when he lay a dying. Although it be not so with my
house, God has made with me a covenant. He is my righteousness. He is
my high priest. Having a high priest over the
house of God, let us draw near. Not draw near to a profession
or to a doctrine or to a law or to a preacher. Run to Christ. Run to Christ. Is that where
you go when you get in trouble? Run to Christ. He's my sin offering. He that just for the unjust has
suffered, he might bring me to God. That's a good question,
isn't it? When you're in trouble, where
do you go? Well, those who know, you know the disciple said, to whom
shall we go? Thou hast the words of life,
and I believe and am sure you're the Son of God. When I look toward
the majesty of God, when I look into another world and at the
judgment throne, When I look at the depravity of my nature
and innumerable evils that are my own, there's no one to whom
I can go. For the words of peace and life
are in Christ alone. Blessed Lord, I find in thee
all I need, righteousness and blood to atone." Well, that's
not a hard message, is it? I think it's a very comforting
message. I just knew when I got that message. I told Doris last
night, I said, I've got something for tomorrow. I've got something
for tomorrow. I've got something good. Those
are the goodies of the gospel, you know. When we look not within,
but without, to find all our help and strength. And I'll tell
you, if you can do it, you'll find help and strength. With
no combination. Therefore it is of grace that
it might be sure to all the believers. All right, Mr. Mike, come lead
us in a psalm, please. Well worth it.
