Lord, I Believe - Help My Unbelief

I'd like to read the text again
for you. Mark the ninth chapter, verse
twenty-two. Now there are three statements
made in this text, two of which I can identify with and one which
I cannot. Verse twenty-two of Mark nine. Now listen, oft times it hath
cast him into the fire. and into the waters to destroy
him. And listen to what the Father says here now, but if thou canst
do anything, have compassion on us and help us. I cannot identify
with that statement. For this reason, I do, and God
knows my heart, and I believe you can say this with me, I do
believe that our God can do all things. The Father is saying
to the Lord Jesus Christ here, if you can do anything, have
compassion, have mercy, help us. And I can't identify with
that truthfully before God. As Paul said, God is my witness.
I believe. I do believe. I sincerely believe
that our God can do all things. With God, nothing is impossible.
Now, you and the liberal preachers of this day may. have trouble
with what they call the miracles of the Bible. I do not. I don't
think many of you do. As far as the sun standing still
at the command of God's servant, I believe that. God created the
world in six days, I believe that. God created man in his
own image, I don't have trouble with that. God preparing a fish
to contain a man, swallowed, I don't have any trouble with
that. God parting the Red Sea, God being God, nothing is impossible
with God. So I can't identify with this
statement at all. I cannot say, Lord, if you can
do anything, help me. Well, God can do all things consistent
with his nature. God can't lie because God is
true. God cannot do wrong because God
is holy. God cannot sin. But all things
consistent with his nature, God can do to fulfill his purpose.
God doeth according to his will. in the armies of heaven and among
the inhabitants of this earth. So I can't identify with that
statement. And later on, don't believe this fellow did, but
here he had some doubts. He cast some doubts upon our
Lord's power, if you can. But now the second statement,
and I can identify with this. Listen to our Lord. He says in
verse 23, if you can believe If you can believe, all things
are possible in him that believeth." Now, I know this is true, and
I can identify with this. This is the message of Scripture.
It's not works, it's faith. It's not reward, it's faith.
It's not what I earn, it's what God does because I believe. This
is the message of God's Word. Our Lord said to his disciples,
you go into all the world and preach this gospel. This is your
message, the gospel. And he that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be
damned. Our Lord said, I am the door, by me if any man enter
in, he shall be saved. Go in and out and find pasture.
I believe that. For God so loved the world, he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth, believeth. That's all. He that believeth
on the Son hath life. I talked to a dying woman one
time. who, as far as I could detect, had no knowledge of the
gospel at all. She had never been exposed to
the true gospel of salvation by grace. She was buried about
four days later. I preached her funeral, but I
talked to her, and she read the Bible to me. I had her read the
Bible, and I had her turn to this scripture, 1 John 5, 11,
and I had her read that scripture. And she said, this is the record. God hath given to us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son of
God hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things are written that you might believe on the name
of the Son of God." That's how salvation comes. I can identify
with that. Christ said, if you can believe
All things are possible to them that believe. All things are
possible to them that believe. When the Philippian jailer came
to Paul and Silas trembling and said, What shall I do to be saved?
What must I do? And Paul said, Believe. Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Now, church
membership and baptism and sacraments and communion and works and all
these things are necessary for the salvation of the soul. Why
didn't Paul say it? He had every opportunity to say
it. Here it is, Paul. Now tell us how to be saved.
Here's a trembling sinner. Here's a helpless sinner. What
must I do to be saved? All right, Paul, tell him. Believe. That's it. Believe. That's all
Christ required of this man. Have compassion on me. Believe. Have mercy on me. Believe. Help
me. Believe. I'm going to work for
God. I'm going to serve God all the days of my life, and when
my life's over, God will reward me. No, he won't. It's not by
works of righteousness which we have done, but according to
his mercy he has saved us. Now, true faith produces works.
True faith will produce the fruit of works, but works do not produce
faith. And God's mercies come through
faith. Thy faith hath made thee whole.
Thy faith hath saved thee. Without faith it's impossible
to please God. He that cometh to God must believe
that he is. Here's the third statement, and
this is really my topic and text. And straightway when the father
heard this, the father and the child, he cried out with tears,
Lord, I believe, I believe. Help thou my underling. Now God can do anything. God
can save my soul. God can save you. I don't care
who you are. Rich or poor, educated or illiterate,
old or young, God is able. You can't do it. I can't do it.
The church can't do it. The preacher can't do it. God
can have mercy on you. God can do something for you.
God can take that old stony heart out and give you a heart of flesh.
God can take the hate out and put love in, shed abroad his
love in your heart by the Holy Spirit. God can make you a new
creature in Christ Jesus. God can make you love what you
now hate and hate what you now love. He can make you willing.
He can do all things. Our disciple said, Lord, who
can be saved? He said, with men it's impossible.
Now let that statement be written, with me and it's impossible.
And any time a preacher or a church or a catechism or a creed or
anything else tells you, you do certain things in order to
merit salvation, you tell them, Christ said, with me and it's
impossible. But with God, all things are possible. He can do
it. He can do it. And you know what
he turns and says? He says, now if you can believe,
all things are possible to them that believe. All things come
to them that believe. And that's when the Father cried
out, and this is a statement that I can identify with as much
as any of them, Lord, I do believe. I've had some sort of faith since
my childhood, haven't you? I have no difficulty believing
in God. I never have. I have no difficulty believing
in God. There are too many evidences to convince me of the existence
of God. I believe in God. And I think
most of you do. This didn't just happen. The
perfect order of this universe. David said, how wonderfully I
am made. This human body And just think
what Adam's body was like. If after years of sin and depravity,
we still have this marvelous, marvelous body God has made.
Think what Adam looked like. Think after all of the marks
of sin, and this world still has a great measure of beauty,
think what the garden looked like without sin. I don't have
any trouble believing in God. But the Bible doesn't say Abraham
believed in God. It says Abraham believed God. Now that's where I need help.
I don't need help believing in God. The Father said, Lord, I
believe. And I can say this morning, Lord,
I do believe. That's not where I need help.
Help my unbelief. That's where I need help. I need
help in that area. I need help not only to believe
in God, but to believe God, to believe him, to believe him. Abraham believed God, and it
was counted to him for righteousness. He just believed God. And then I have no trouble believing
that man fell. I have no trouble believing that
sin abounds in the world today. I see it. No trouble at all. with which we're surrounded,
the evil outside and inside, the turmoil, the disease, the
death about us, enough to convince any thinking person that this
world is plunged into a cesspool of iniquity. And it's just not outward drunkenness,
that's not our only problem, that's one of our least problems. The fact of sin that reigns in
the heart, the attitude, evil motives, distrust, dishonesty,
greed. We're going to destroy our freedom
with greed. That's right. We're going to
destroy this nation. And you know what it'll destroy? It won't
be an outside force. You needn't worry about communism.
Communism is not going to destroy this nation. We are. We are the people to whom our
forefathers gave freedom. We're going to destroy this because
of greed. We're a greedy bunch of people. I know sin. I don't have trouble believing
in the fact of sin. I see it. I see it all around.
But here's where I need help. Being convinced of my sin. It's so easy for me to say, boy,
look at all the corruption, look at all the greed, look at all
the evil, look at all the covetousness out there in that world. Whoa,
whoa now, whoa now. Right here, there's one of the
big problems. Actually, my problem's right
here. That's where I need help. I need help. I need to be able
to say with David, who was a man after God's own heart, to whom
God revealed himself, my sins are ever before me. That's my
problem. It's my sin. I need to be able
to say with the Apostle Paul, O wretched man, that I am. Let
me tell you something. Listen to me. This is the real
foundation of all the fruit of grace. Did you know it? Seeing
your sins. Now see if I can make good on
that. This foundation of your treatment of other people depends
on your understanding of yourself. The way you behave toward others,
toward God and toward others, solely depends on your knowledge
of yourself. Listen to this. To whom much
is forgiven, he'll love much. Do you see that? To whom much is forgiven. Here
our Lord was in the home of a religious Pharisee who thought that he
had no sin. He was without fault. Oh, he
looked down on folks that were sinners. And there was a woman
who was a harlot, came in and bathed his feet with tears, and
our Lord forgave her. And this man fell out with him
because he did forgive this woman of her sins. And he said to him,
Simon, let me tell you something. There were two men, one owed
an enormous debt and one owed a small debt to the same man,
and he forgave them both. Now, which one I'm going to love
him most? And Simon said, The one to whom he forgave the most,
that's right, he said, you've spoken well. He said, this woman,
which hath many sins, loves much, you love little. Why? You don't
see your sins. Listen to this, forgive one another
as God, for Christ's sake, has forgiven you. Do you know the
person that is quickest to forgive a wrong is the person who has
been forgiven. That's right. You say, I just
don't have the spirit of forgiveness. You know why? You've never been
forgiven. God's never forgiven you. You
know nothing about mercy. You know nothing about your sins.
You know nothing about your own evil heart. You know nothing
about the blood of Christ. You know nothing about mourning
a part. You know nothing about seeking the Lord. If you ever
learn it, Forgiveness will come a lot easier. That may wound,
but that's true. The reason you have not the spirit
of forgiveness is because you've never been forgiven. Listen to
this. Be ye merciful as your Father
in heaven is merciful. You know the people that are
not generous are the people to whom God has not been generous.
Anybody who knows that everything he has is a gift of God will
be generous to others. The man who is greedy and not
generous is a person who knows nothing of grace. Grace opens
the heart. Because we, who maketh you to
differ? What have you that you did not
receive? You know, they tell me that these
folks that live on welfare, and food stamps. They just spend
it lavishly and carelessly. You know why it comes that way?
It comes easy, it goes easy. Well, that's the way with grace. The person who has spent everything
he's got, God gave it to him, gave it to him, gave it to him,
he freely gives in return. That's so. Be ye merciful as
your Father in heaven is merciful. Listen to this. If a brother
be overtaken in a fall. You, which are spiritual, restore
him in the spirit of meekness," watch it now, "...considering
thyself, lest thou also be..." What's the basis on which you
restore him? What you think about yourself.
Boy, I tell you, I better pray for him, I could be in the same
boat. But the Pharisee says, Lord, I'm not like other men.
And the publican says, I'm worse than other men. Which one of
them is going to restore the man? The publican. He knows himself. You know the chief gossips? You
know the people who gossip are the pious, self-righteous Pharisees. Those are the people that gossip.
Those are the people that slander. Those are the people that use
the names and characters of other people and drag them through
the mud. They have a high opinion of themselves. That's right. So this is where
I need help. I don't need help tearing down
the walls of Jericho. I need help tearing down the
walls of bigotry and prejudice that are built in my own heart.
Lord, I do believe. I do believe. I believe in the
fact of sin. I believe in the existence of
sin. I believe in the flood tide of sin. But Lord, I need help
to believe and understand my sin. And Lord, if you can show
me what I am, if you can really bring me down, whatever trial
it takes, whatever revelation it takes to bring me to see my
need, then I'll love more and I'll forgive more and I'll be
merciful and I'll be gracious and I will be the one that reaches
out in pity and sympathy. and compassion rather than the
one that presses down in condemnation and self-righteousness. Thirdly,
I don't have any trouble believing Christ died on the cross for
sinners. I don't have any trouble with that. That's a fact that
history has passed on to us. Josephus, who wrote the earliest
history, it's clear Christ died on the cross. Take your calendar. What's today? March 26th. in the year of our Lord, 1978.
In the year of whom? Our Lord. B.C., what's that before
Christ? A.D., Anno Domini, in the year
of our Lord. We measure time by the coming
of Christ, the death of the Son of God. No problem there. I believe He died, and I believe
He died that God might be just and justify the ungodly. That's
why He died. He died because God's holy. And
in order to set me free from my sins, somebody had to pay
for it. You men in business, somebody comes down to your place
of business, runs up a bill, the bill has to be paid. There's
no way you can acquire it without it being paid. There's no way
the person can get off the hook without it being paid. Now, he
might pay it or somebody might pay it for him, but it's got
to be paid. And we have broken God's holy law. And in order
for God to be just and holy and righteous, that law's got to
be satisfied. That justice has got to be satisfied. Righteousness has got to be honored.
Debt's got to be paid. Jesus paid it all, the debt I
owe. Sin left a crimson stain, but
he washed it white as snow. I don't have any trouble believing
that. But here's where I need help. I may give my consent to
the most orthodox confession of faith. Because of my upbringing and
my background and my teaching, I may give my consent to the
most orthodox theology, and still myself be in the gall of bitterness,
unless the death of Christ and the person of Christ become a
reality to my heart. That is the difference, unless
Christ. Brethren, I need to know Him. I need to rest in Him. I need a vital living union with
Christ, not with the facts of His death, but actually with
Him who died. You see, facts won't influence
my conduct. Facts won't influence my conversation. Facts won't influence my behavior. Facts won't influence my thinking,
but a person will. If the power of that person's
spirit and the power of that person's indwelling spirit, he
can make me a new Christian. It's not Christ on the cross
who saves. As far as my new nature and heart's
concerned, it's Christ in my heart, in my life. This is what
Paul prayed for the early church in Galatians or Colossians, he
said, I travail, I travail till Christ be formed in you. The problem with our churches
and religion today, it's a It's a doctrine we hold or a
ceremony we go through or a sort of an insurance policy we have
in the safe instead of a living person. Christ said this is eternal
life that they might know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ
whom thou hast sent. Now I know about President Carter. I've read about him. I've heard
things about him. Some may not be true. Some may
be true. But you ask me if you know Jimmy Carter. Well, there's
a sense in which I know him. But I know Don Fitzer. We're
personal friends. We've walked together. We've
eaten together. We've traveled together. I know
him. In that sense, you see, I must
know Christ. Christ is not someone we read
about in a book. He's not a person from somewhere
that we've heard about. He's not someone that we've just
been told about. Whether a myth or a legend or
a reality or whatever, but when a person's saved, Christ comes
in to dwell. He influences me, you see. Jimmy
Carter has no influence over my life. He doesn't touch my
life. He does. He does. I care. You see the
difference? And when Christ redeems us, when
He becomes our Lord, there's a union with Him. There's a vital
living union with Christ. And I care, and He cares, and
He influences me and changes me. I think of Him. We walk together. What He says has a bearing on
my life. What He did. I understand and
I receive and I rejoice in it and I make it mine. Eternal life
is to know God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent, not know about
him, know him. Christ in you, Paul said, that's
the hope of glory, not Christ in a book or Christ on a throne,
Christ in you, that's the hope of glory. That's what it means
to receive Christ. To as many as received him, to
them gave he the right to become the sons of God. To many as many
have been introduced to him by the Holy Spirit. He that seeth
the Son and believeth on him hath life. Embraces Christ. Have you done that? Well, I trust my salvation to
the Church. Well, I don't. I don't. Brethren,
I have a life to live. I have one life to live. And I want it to be lived in
such a way that I can say with the Apostle Paul, I'm crucified
with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I that liveth, but Christ
that liveth in me. Christ. He's my life. He's my life. Brethren, I have
a death to die. I don't have any idea when it's
coming. But I have a death to die. And believe me, with all
my heart, God help my unbelief. I do believe. Help my unbelief. I have a death to die. And I
want to die the death of the righteous. I want my end to be
like His. I want to say with Paul, to me,
to live is Christ and to die is gain. Don't you want to say
that? And then I have a judgment to
face. And my life will not bear the holy searchlight of God's
righteousness and the balance of his scales. It won't do it
by any shape, form, or fashion. And you take the best man who
ever lived on this earth, other than our Lord, the best human
being that ever lived on this earth, son of Adam, and his life
won't stand the searchlight of God's law either, or God's righteousness. So we need a mediator. I need
someone in the court, in the veil. I need someone to intercede
for me. I need a mediator, don't you?
And then I'll have an eternity to spend somewhere, and I'd like
to spend it in God's presence. I'd like him to say, I'm your
God and you're my people, and wipe away every tear. Now, you
can rest in a profession of religion or a system of doctrine or an
experience if that meets your need. Believe me, does that meet
your need? Are you satisfied to go down to church on Sunday
and sit and look at a preacher for 20 or 30 minutes and get
up and go out and not have any more contact with the living
God than that and die on that? I need Christ. I need the living
Lord. And Christ can only be mine by
faith. That's what Scripture says, by faith. God, I believe. Help my unbelief. Now don't believe
me, but preacher, I'm saved! I know, I know, I know all that
sort of thing. I know, we've got us some refuge
and hiding places, but if I were you, with all my heart, I'd say
this to you. Don't depend on an old experience
that stayed old. Don't depend on an agreement
you and a preacher had down at the front of the church when
he said you was all right. Don't depend on that. Can't you be
like this man here? The Lord Jesus Christ said, when
this man said, have compassion, have mercy, help me, our Lord
said, all things are possible to them that believe. Lord, I
do believe. You know that. I believe in God,
I believe in sin, I believe Christ died on the cross. Lord, help
my unbelief. Make it a reality to my heart. Make it a reality to my heart.
Make Christ come in to dwell in such a way that I'll have
a new heart and a new nature and a new life and it'll be as
easy to love as it was to hate. And forgiveness will be as spontaneous
as vengeance. And my thoughts of Christ will
be as spontaneous as my thoughts of sin. And my love for His Word
and fellowship with His people will be as keen and as intense
as my desires after the things of the flesh." He says, is that possible? Possible,
that's salvation. That's salvation. You don't love
his word? You don't love his presence?
You don't love the closet of prayer? You don't love the fellowship
of God's people? You don't love the preaching
of the gospel? Then you don't love Christ, because Christ is
the gospel. Christ is in his people. where
two or three are met together in my name, I'm in their midst.
You're adopting some doctrines that doctrines can't save, Christ
saves. And the coming in of theology
and the coming in of doctrines and the coming in of creeds,
that won't give you a new heart, that won't drive out evil spirits,
it's the coming in of Christ to dwell that drives these things
out. But you listen to me now, I'm
alright, I'm a Baptist. All Baptists aren't alright any
more than all Jews are alright. Paul said all Israel is not Israel.
They're not all Jews that are the seed of Abraham. Well, I'm
alright and I've been a Methodist all my life. Well, that's unfortunate. Have you been a believer? Have
you been one who knows the Lord? I wish these names didn't exist.
I wish they'd never been invented. Christian's sufficient. I wish
they'd never been invented. They're an albatross around our
necks. They're dragging us down. They're
causing people to hope and no hope. I am of Paul. I am of Apollos. I am of Cephas.
I am something else. Paul said, you're carnal, you
know not God. It's tragic. Old Martin Luther, bless his
heart, he was a Catholic. He was studying to be a priest.
He was a monk. He was living off yonder in a
monastery. When he'd have temptations of
sin, he'd take bushes with thorns on it and he'd beat his body
till it bled to do penance, you know, to drive out these thoughts
of evil. And then he'd lie on that old
stone floor and he'd fast until they'd find him in there almost
dead and they'd get him up off the floor and put him up on a
bed and feed him soup and bring him back to life almost. He was
trying to make himself holy. Trying to make of the flesh what
the flesh can never be. That which is born of the flesh
is flesh and there'll never be anything else. You can cover
it up and you can paint it up and you can polish it up and
all that, but it's going back to the dust from which it came.
That which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. The Spirit of grace
and mercy and love and faith, that has to come from God. As
we have borne the image of the first Adam, which is of the earth
earther, we'll bear the image of the second Adam, who's the
Lord from heaven." That's what I mean. And old Luther was sitting
one day studying the Bible, and the Bible was chained to a post
there laying on a desk. And he was reading it, and he
came upon this scripture four times in the Bible. The just
shall live by faith. Well, he wasn't living by faith,
he was living by words, by penance, by punishing his body. by counting
beads and saying certain things that you're supposed to say to
bring grace. He was trying to make himself
righteous and holy before God. Now he was trying, trying, trying. He did what they told him to
do. And he saw that verse of Scripture, that just shall live
by faith. And he pushed it out of his mind. And he kept on doing
these things. He kept on reciting all of these
prayers, and singing, and reading, and studying, and shaving his
head, and doing without food, and doing without friends, and
doing without fellowship, and isolating himself from the world
so he wouldn't sin. And he's carrying a whole bucket
of evil in his own heart, all that. He knew it. It was in him. And he went down to Rome. to
St. Peter's. And they have a staircase
there, did have, I guess they still got it, which they said
came out of Pilate's Hall. That's where they got it, brought
it out of Pilate's Hall and put it there in St. Peter's. And
it was a staircase up which Christ walked. That's what the tradition
is. Not so, but that's the tradition. It's the staircase up which Christ
walked in Pilate's Hall. And on that staircase, the treads
are covered with glass, and under the glass are some red spots,
and these are supposed to be drops of blood that fell from
Christ's head with a crown of thorns and from his back. And
Luther was crawling up those stairs. This is a true story.
He was crawling up those stairs on his hands and knees, reciting,
Hail Mary, Mother of God, full of grace, have mercy on us sinners,
and all of these different things, you know, kissing these spots
on the stairs. And he said as he crawled up
those stairs, he got about halfway and he was kissing these spots
of blood, supposedly Christ's blood. And the boys seemed to
say to him, it brought the scripture that he'd been reading, Martin
Luther! The just shall live by faith, by faith. And he jumped up off those stairs
and ran down them and out the door. And you know the rest.
Became one of the greatest preachers of the gospel that Europe ever
listened to. He threw the whole barns and
shackles of slavery off a whole nation nearly, Germany. and taught
them justification by faith, by faith. Brethren, why? Why do men want
to return to these shackles of slavery and fetters of bondage
and try to appease a holy God with human works? Even my works
are full of sin, even my works! My righteousness is filthy rags! I come and give my offering to
be used to preach the gospel, but there's no way that I can
give it without the taint of sin. I have no perfect motive,
I have no perfect faith, I have no perfect love, and that's the
only kind of God I'm dissatisfied with. He said this is the commandment
to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all
your mind, with all your strength. Listen, you who would be under
the law, who would work your way to heaven, you can't do it. You can't love God that way.
You wish you could. But you don't. Do you love your
neighbor as yourself? How many suits you got? Oh, three
or four put you. You know a man that doesn't have
any? Take two of them down and give them to him. When you pray this week, you
got a boy or girl that's sick? And your neighbor's got a boy
or girl that's sick? I'll tell you how you pray this way. Lord,
if one of them's got to die, let it be mine. And let Joe's
daughter live. Huh? Come on now. You don't love
him as yourself. You don't love him as yourself.
Lord, down there where I work, there's a man that needs promotion. Give it to him. Don't give it
to me. Give him the raise. Don't give it to me. Lord, bless
that other man's business. Don't bless mine. I need to lose. He needs to be blessed. Huh?
We don't pray that way. You know why? We're full of selfishness.
We don't love people as ourselves. So I'm saying this to you. You're
going to bring your works before God. You're going to earn your
way to heaven. You're going to hell. God will
not be satisfied with anything but perfection. Perfection. And I don't have it. But Christ
did. And you know the only way I can
be accepted of God? He said is to believe on His
Son and be accepted in the Beloved. That's the only way. That's the
only way. I'm lost. I don't have any hope.
I don't have a prayer. I don't even have a thousand
to one shot for heaven. unless God Almighty in mercy
loves me in Christ and considers me in Christ. There's no way.
There's no way. God's got to send me to hell.
God's got to turn me out. God's got to forsake me. God's
got to send me to the pits of the dam. He has to if I come
there asking to be weighed in the balances with my works as
my hope. All have sinned and come short.
But, now wait a minute, I'm coming this way. Lord, in my hands no
price I bring. Simply to the cross of Christ,
Jesus Christ, I cling. Could my tears forever flow?
Could my zeal no longer? No, these for sin could never
atone. Christ must save and Christ alone. If I can come that way,
God will receive me. For he said, now listen, he that
believeth on the Son of God hath everlasting life. And that's
when I say, Lord, I believe. Help my heart to believe. Help
me to believe. I want to, don't you? God says
that's the way. It's to believe on Christ. is
to believe on Christ. That's the only way. Wish we'd
get that through our thick, thick heads and into our human, human
hearts, is to believe. That's what Christ said to that
man. If you can believe, can you believe? All things are possible
to them that believe. He said, I do believe. God help
my People of Israel could not enter
the Promised Land. Why? Why? Come on. Because of
unbelief. That's the only reason. It wasn't
banks around that cave. It was unbelief. Take heed, brethren, lest there
be found in you an evil heart of unbelief. Our Father, for
the promise of the Word, we thank Thee. What a blessed, precious,
certain hope we have in Christ. Oh, to be in Christ. Lord, I
believe, I do believe, that Christ died on the cross for sinners.
Give me faith to believe that He died for me. I do believe
that Thou art an eternal, almighty, sovereign Lord, who reigneth
in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of this earth,
and will be worshiped and praised in spirit and truth by Thy creatures. Lord, give me faith to believe
and to worship and praise Thee, and to crown Thee Lord of Lords
and King of Kings. In the name of Christ, our Redeemer,
we pray for his glory, amen.
