Well, it's good to see all y'all
out tonight. Remember those who requested
prayer, seek the Lord's help for them. him number one uh... four ninety six victory in jesus
uh... how he gave his life on Calvary
to save a wretch like me. I heard about his groaning, of
his precious blood's atoning. Then I repented of my sins and
won the victory. Oh, victory in Jesus, my Savior
forever. He showed me and bought me with
His redeeming blood. He loved me ere I knew Him, and
all my love is to Him. He plunged me. To victory beneath
the cleansing flood I heard about His healing Of His cleansing
power revealing How He made the lame to walk again And caused
the blind to see And then I cried, dear Jesus, come and heal my
broken spirit. ? And somehow Jesus came and
brought to me the victory ? ? Oh, victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
? ? He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood ? He
loved me ere I knew him, and all my love is to him. He plunged me to victory beneath
the cleansing flood. I heard about a mansion he's
built for me in glory. And I heard about the streets
of gold beyond the crystal sea. About the angels singing and
the old redemption story. And some sweet day I'll sing
up there the song of victory. Oh, victory in Jesus, my Savior
forever. He sought me and bought me with
His redeeming blood. He loved me ere I knew Him, and
all my love is to Him. cleansing flood. If you have your Bibles turn
me to Exodus chapter 6 last week the message was the
man and the message tonight is the Lord the message Exodus chapter
6 verse 1 then the Lord said unto Moses now shalt thou see
what I will do to Pharaoh For with a strong hand shall he let
them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of this
land. And God spake to Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord.
I appeared unto Moses, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob by the name of
God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them. And I have also established my
covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, and the land
of their pilgrimage, where they are strangers and I have also
heard of the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians
keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. Wherefore say unto
the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you
out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid
you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with stretched
out arm and with great judgments, and I will take you to me for
a people, and I will be to you a God, you shall know that I
am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens
of the Egyptians. And I will bring you into the
land concerning the which I did swear to give to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob, and I will give it to you for an heritage.
I am the Lord. Let us pray. Our Father in Heaven,
we come in the blessed name of Jesus Christ our Lord. the King
of Kings and Lord of Lords, of whom this passage is written,
for he is the one who speaks here as Lord over all, as Lord
Jehovah, Jehovah's Savior. We thank you, Father, that such
words are written that our poor minds can embrace and be thankful
for, for they picture and set forth the glories of our great
Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Father, we pray for those who
are sick and going through trials. Remember especially Fred as he's
been through this thing at the hospital. We pray the doctors
will be with him and they'll have great skill and understanding
in making him better. We pray for the Sweeney family at the loss
of Pat. We pray you'd be with them, comfort them. We pray for
our shut-ins. We pray especially for Wayne
and for Ethel and for Peggy Lambert. pray for Larry Hill. We ask Lord your blessing upon
him. Father we pray also for Dee Parks. He's beginning another
type of chemotherapy. We ask Lord you be with him.
Use those doctors they minister to him and be with Moose and
Sandy and Christina as they are full of sorrow and anguish over
his condition. Pray you'll give peace, Father,
and strength to them. help us tonight as we gather
here that you might cause us in our hearts to worship you
in spirit and in truth. Pray these things in Christ's
name and for his glory. Amen. I already started it back there. Exodus chapter 6 verses 1 through
8. We saw last week the man Moses
proved himself by his own testimony to be resistant and incapable
in himself to doing the task that had been assigned to him.
Now this is true of everyone that is tasked with preaching
the gospel for they know the dynamic power of the gospel,
that power to bring a man to light and life that same power
to also seal him in his doom. And that is too great a thing
for mere mortals to take on. We say with Paul, after he talked
about this very subject, he said, who is sufficient for these things?
And he was an apostle appointed of the Lord Jesus Christ, a man
who began many churches throughout Asia and Asia Minor. And when
he thought about the effects of the gospel because it is the
power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. When
he thought about the effects of the gospel and that he was
the one that was preaching it, he said, I'm not sufficient to
do this because of the power that's within that word. I'm
not sufficient to do this. All I can do is just tell it
and leave it be. Tell it and not try to get people
to do something, not try to get them to make some kind of confession,
not try to persuade them about anything or convince them about
anything, but tell them and back away. Because this is a great
thing. It's the only true power on the
face of the earth that we know, and that's the gospel, the good
news of Jesus Christ. The fact is that we are not sufficient
for these things, but the Bible said God's grace is sufficient.
God's grace is sufficient in all of these things. And from
the beginning of the dialogue between the Lord and Moses, Moses
is nothing more than a mouthpiece to tell the people and Pharaoh
that the Lord Almighty, the Great I Am, is who has sent Him and
relate what the Lord has said. That's what we do when we preach
the gospel. No man can do any more than this
and shouldn't try to do any more than this. The message is who
is the Lord and who the Lord is and what He has done and what
He has promised to do. and we know that message according
to paul in first corinthians chapter two is christ and him
crucified that's the manner and the means by which he has saved
his people from their sins christ crucified now in verse one of
our text the lord has promised moses he would manipulate pharaoh
in a manner that when the time had come pharaoh will drive israel
out of egypt with a strong hand being glad to be rid of them
though now he holds them in slavery. Now this may seem as a fantasy,
seeing the children of Israel are now held captive and are
in abject helletry, but God has said that he will do it, and
so it will be done. God shall do all that he pleases.
That's the word about God in the scripture, that he does as
he pleases in heaven, or he has done as he pleased in heaven
and earth and all the deep places. And he does all his pleasure,
and none can stay his hand or say unto him, What doest thou?
Now verse 2 begins with the words, And God spake. And God spake. This is the truth that settles
the matter of whatever follows if God says it, it's so. Thus
saith the Lord is the banner under which every gospel preacher
travels. And it's the singular reason
for the preacher to preach, because thus saith the Lord. The preacher's
not rendering his opinion or setting forth matters of debate
or conjecture. He is saying what God has said.
We are repeaters. We are repeaters. All of faith,
you see, rests not in what men see, but what God says. I often read in people's Facebook
posts that I'd rather see a sermon than hear a sermon. Seeing a
sermon ain't going to do you no good. Faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by the Word of God. God must give you ears to hear.
All of faith, every bit of faith, rests solely in God's Word, in
His written Word, whom the written word speaks of, the LIVING WORD,
the Lord Jesus Christ. The first thing God does is identify
Himself as JEHOVAH here in verse 2. And God spake to Moses and
said, I am the LORD. You notice that is capitalized
all the way across. That is JEHOVAH. Jehovah, what
is Jehovah? Well, it means the Sovereign
Lord, but it also means Savior, Jehovah Savior. That's where
the name Joshua came from, from the word Jehovah, and where the
name Jesus comes from. This is always the manner because
the God we know is Jesus Christ. He's the God we know. God is
Spirit. God the Father is Spirit. We know very little about Him.
By searching you can't find out anything by Him, Scripture says.
T.T. Shiels said that he was a preacher
up in Canada. He said you'd sooner empty the
Atlantic Ocean with a teaspoon than you would finding out God.
God is out there. Remember we preached recently
on God is holy. He's separate. He's out there.
He's the wondrous, mysterious person. How do we know God? We
only know Him in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. that's
how we know, God was manifest in the flesh, the word was manifest
in the flesh and we beheld his glory as the only begotten of
the Father, full of grace and truth. We know Jesus Christ,
you see because Paul said in Christ, in this person who is
both God and man, in this person dwelt the fullness of the Godhead
bodily. He is the Father, for it says
so in Isaiah chapter 9, that shall call his name Wonderful,
the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. This is the name of
the Lord Jesus. He's the Father and He's the Son. He's the Son
of God, the Blessed Son of God, and He is the Spirit. When He
left this world, He says, I will send you the Paraclete, the one
who walks beside you, the Spirit of God. And then in the next
two verses later, He says, and when I come to you, So the Spirit
that comes to us is the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. In
Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily. So when He identifies
Himself as L-O-R-D capital, that's talking about Jesus Christ. Now
in verse 3, it's an interesting verse, it says, And I appeared
to Abraham and Isaac and unto Jacob by the name of God Almighty,
which is ALSO the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you look
at Revelation 1, He's called the Almighty, but by my name
Jehovah was I not known unto them. Now this verse is interesting
and it is to be understood in the context rather than the general
sense. It is comparative language. God
did not appear to Abraham and Jacob and Isaac as He now is
appearing to Moses. The difference being what He
said to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is different than what He is
saying to Moses. Something is going on now that
was prophesied to Abraham, but Abraham never saw it coming.
He did appear to Abraham in the prophecy of Israel's deliverance
from Egypt, but Abraham was not here to see the prophecy fulfilled.
Now, when he says, I didn't appear, they didn't know me by this name.
They knew the name Jehovah because that's what he called his name
by. But he's appearing to Moses in the midst of the fulfillment
of the prophecy that he made to to Abraham, the actual deliverance
and salvation of his people. That s going on now, and that
s what he means in verse 3, that he didn t appear or didn t reveal
himself as Jehovah to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. and the way
he's revealing himself to Moses. He's revealing himself fully
as the Savior and the Deliverer of Israel. And this appearance,
we know, sets the template and type for the glory of Christ
appearing once in the end of the world to put away sin by
the sacrifice of himself. And that is pictured in the way
that they are finally delivered from Israel on that night of
their deliverance, the night Pharaoh says, Get out of here.
Leave us. What happened that night? It
was the night that the blood of the Lamb was put on the doorpost
and the lentils. And God said, When I see the
blood, I will pass over you. That is why Christ is called
in the New Testament, Christ our Passover or our Paschal Lamb
slain for us. The Paschal Lamb is pictured
here. Here the Lord Jehovah appears
in the act of salvation because it is the act of salvation that
most glorifies God. He's glorified in His creation.
He did that by Himself by simply speaking things into His ears. He's glorified in His providence
for He determines all incidents and
occurrences to bring all things to the end that He has appointed
them to be. All things to their appointed end. He's glorified
in them. I mean, it's glorious. We see that in this study in
Genesis, how he made that prophecy to Abraham in Genesis 15. And then Abraham has Isaac, and
Isaac has Jacob, and Jacob has 12 sons. And these 12 sons are
the 12 tribes of Israel. and we see that these twelve
tribes are suddenly in famine and they're starving to death.
One of those sons has been sent to Egypt as a slave, but he's
risen to the very highest of payroll. That's the province
of God. All this because of what he said to Abraham back in Genesis
15. This nation is going to be great. It's going to grow up
in Egypt. It's going to serve Egypt for four hundred years.
They're going to be mistreated and I'm going to deliver them.
How's that going to happen? Well, first they've got to get to Egypt.
So then they get to Egypt and they're given the best place,
Goshen, which is near the Nile and all the best place to grow
fruit and have cattle and all those things and sheep. They're
given the best place and then Joseph dies and the king who
follows the king that honored Joseph dies and this new king
doesn't know anything about Joseph and he puts them into slavery.
All this is providential. This is the manipulating of time
and tide and people and nations. King's heart is in the hands
of the Lord. He turneth it with us wherever He will. He brought
all this to be to bring us to this place right here to deliver
His people. This is the salvation. This is
what glorifies God. He's glorified in creation. He's
glorified in promise. But oh the glory of salvation.
His glory is found in His salvation. in the salvation of his people
by the blood sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is what
glorifies Him, honors Him. I will have mercy on whom I will
have mercy, and I will be gracious unto whom I will be gracious.
And whom I will, I will harden, not of him that willeth, nor
of him that runneth, but God that showeth mercy. Now, verse
four, the Lord reveals that He is a covenant God. This is one
of the things that if you ever really learn about God, you'll
learn this about Him. He's a God who is a covenant
god, he makes a covenant, and he has made a covenant with Abraham
to take his descendants to the promised land. This is found
in Genesis chapter 11. And that covenant was a shadow
of the eternal covenant of grace wherein Christ, by his substitution
and sacrifice, would save his people and take them to a city
whose builder and maker is God. But for the time being, they'll
be in this world as strangers and pilgrims, and that's how
it's worded here in verse 4. And I also established my covenant
with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their
pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. They are strangers
and pilgrims. That's how Peter describes them.
the strangers in Galatia uh... uh... Cappadocia there in first
Peter chapter one that's how he introduces the children of
God he says there's strangers scattered about strangers scattered
about there are strangers in that land for the time being
that's what they are but there's something about them there's
a promise God has promised them he made a covenant with them
Now, it's not the covenant of works which he made at Sinai.
That covenant had been set aside by the Lord Jesus Christ according
to Hebrews chapter 10. He'd taken away the first and
established the second. That covenant is the covenant
of salvation. And if it is a covenant that
involves salvation, there must be a need for salvation. Men
talk about salvation today like it's some kind of availability.
You know, it's like on a shelf or it's out there. If you want
it, you can have it. But if you don't need salvation,
you'll never ask for salvation. If you don't need salvation,
there's no reason to have salvation. So if salvation is talked about,
it's because this need is being addressed. And that's what happens
here. The recipients are captives. They are in bondage to Egypt,
and if they're going to be saved, God says, I'm going to save them.
I'm going to deliver them. That's what God said. Why? Because
they need deliverance. They can't escape themselves.
They're in bondage to a king that's greater than they are,
surrounded by an army that's greater than they are. They don't
have any weapons. They don't even have any straw
to make bricks. They are slaves. They are helots. They are pariahs
to the Egyptians. They're in bad shape. You think
Moses is going to stand up and say, well, if you want salvation,
you can have it. If you choose to have it, you'll
have it. If you make a decision, that's not what he says. He says,
God Almighty, Jehovah God, Jehovah Savior is coming in and he's
going to save you because you need to save it. You need to
save it. The captivity you see. The captivity is necessary for
the salvation to be accomplished. It's necessary. The Lord has
heard their groaning because He has ordained their slavery.
That's why He's heard their groaning. This is all part of the plan.
Remember what He said in Genesis 15? I'm going to bring them into
slavery and then I'm going to deliver them. So how come they're
in slavery? God brought them there so He
could save them. You say, Well, that seems like
he just had everything in his hand. Exactly! Absolutely in
control from start to finish. That's exactly how it works. Their captivity and their salvation
from it occurs because God remembered His covenant He made with Abraham. That's why they're saved. and
since the Lord has remembered his covenant, Moses is to tell
the people what shall come to pass, the things involved in
that covenant. In verse five and six it says,
And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom
the Egyptians kept keeping bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.
Wherefore, because I remember my covenant, say unto the children
of Israel, I am the Lord, Jehovah, and I will bring you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their
bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and
I will redeem you with great judgments." Now this is the Lord
saying, I will, and when He says, I will, that's how it's going
to be. He says, What I have spoken shall come to pass in Isaiah
chapter 46 and verse 10. The first thing to tell the people
is who He is. Tell them, I am the Lord. Tell
them, I am Jehovah. This is the one truth that covers
everything, you see. This is one truth that absolutely
applies to ALL humanity. is that Jesus Christ is the LORD!
He is Jehovah! Now, I may tell you that God
loves you, and I may be telling you the truth, but I may not
be telling you the truth. God does love His people. I don't
know whether you're His people or not, but if you're His people,
He loves you. But He hated Jacob, or hated
Esau, and He hates the workers of iniquity. He's angry with
the wicked every day. So, I may tell you God loves
you, but I may not be telling you the truth. And I may tell
you, as religion says today, like they say, God loves everybody,
that Christ died for you. But that may not be true either.
For he only laid down his life for his sheep. He said that in
John chapter 10. And he was talking to folks who
believed that they were children of God. And he says, you don't
believe me because you're not my sheep. So he didn't lay down
his life for them. because they weren't his sheep.
He said, my sheep hear my voice and they follow me. This is the
work of the Father. This is a covenant relationship
that he has with him because he's the Lord, the one true thing. I can say to every person who
walks on this earth, Jesus Christ is your Lord, whether you bow
to Him now or bow to Him at the end of time, you will bow to
Him and you will confess, for every mouth will confess and
every knee will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord,
to the glory of the Father. All things will, things in heaven,
things in earth, and things under the earth. all will declare Him
to be Lord. That's the one true thing. We
preach the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We preach the Sovereign
God, the One who does as He pleases in heaven and earth and all the
deep places. Tell them, I am the Lord. Why? Well, who can
question the success of the Work if the Lord Himself has undertaken
the task? Who can question the result?
Now, I may doubt my salvation, especially if I think I have
aught to do with it, but if the Sovereign Lord had made it His
job to save me, this I'm sure of, I will be saved. And that's
the truth. We know all things work together
for good to them that love God, to them that are called according
to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He
also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that
He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom
He did predestinate, them He also called. And whom He called,
them He also justified. And whom He justified, them He
also glorified. What shall we say to these things?
Well, if God be for us, who can be against us? If God is undertaken
to save us, you think somebody is going to stop Him? You think
you're going to stop Him? If He's got on your trail, He
will have you. He will have you. If He chose
you before the foundation of the world, you may be the vilest
rebel on the face of the earth, but sooner or later, God's going
to twist your heart. He's going to enter your heart.
He's going to give you eyes to see and ears to hear, and He's
going to bring you to the feet of Jesus Christ by teaching you
the gospel. That's how it's going to happen, and it's going to
happen to every one of God's elect. If God's in such a thing,
I'm not worried about it. It's going to come to pass. he
says you tell him I'm the Lord and you tell him I'll bring them
out. I'll bring them out. Moses said to these same folks
in Deuteronomy he brought you out to bring you in. He brought
you out of Egypt to bring you into Canaan. Bring them out,
out from under the burdens they suffer, out from under the bondage. Our Lord said come unto me all
you that labor and heavy laden, I'll give you rest. out from
under those burdens, out from under them, I'll give you rest. Out from under their bondage,
stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made you free, and
enter not into the bondage as you were before. He will do so,
how? By redeeming them. He said, I
will redeem them. I will redeem them, buy them
back. The price for the redemption, we know, is the blood death,
perfectly supplied by Jesus Christ our Passover slain for us. He said, when I see the blood
I'll pass over you. This is the Lord's stretched
out arm as the old song goes, He reached way down for me. I love that old song. I used
to like to hear Wayne Robinson sing it. He sang it awful good.
He reached way down for me. Look at a few verses of scripture.
Turn to the Psalms. in Psalm 40. In verse 2, David said, He brought me up.
He brought me up. I'll bring you out, he said.
He brought me up out of the horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and
has set my feet upon a rock, and has established my goings.
He did that. The Lord did that. Over in Psalm
98, The Lord said, I'm going to do
this with an outstretched arm. That's speaking of His salvation. Psalm 98 verse 1 says, O sing
unto the Lord a new song, for He hath done marvelous things.
His right hand and His holy arm hath gotten Him the victory.
then Isaiah as he introduced Isaiah chapter 53 began in Isaiah
chapter 52 and he said this about salvation in Isaiah chapter 52
in verse 10. The Lord hath made bare his holy
arm in the eyes of all nations and all the ends of the earth
shall see the salvation of our God. It's his holy arm. He reached way down for me He
reached way down. He has reached down. He has also
redeemed us by great judgments. He said, I will redeem them with
great redemption and I will redeem them with judgments. Judgments. That has to be. That has to be. Sin has to be judged. And it's
either judged in a substitute or it's judged in you. as he
has judged our transgression and our substitute, laid stripes
upon our iniquities, he has likewise judged our enemies and put them
down. This is what he's going to show
in this great episode of history, of the history of God's people.
He's going to show that. He's going to save his people.
He's going to walk them through that Red Sea on dry land until
they get to the other side. But here's the enemy still in
Egypt. Pharaoh gets his heart hardened again. He says, I'm
going after them. I'm going to kill them. He said, kill every one
of them, don't let one Israelite live. Well, they already cleaned
through the ocean. It's still standing up, congealed
on its side with a dry path right through the middle of it. And
here they come with their chariots and their horses and their men.
They come after the Israelites. About the middle of the way through
the Red Sea, God closes it up. And they all drown. And they
say in Exodus chapter 15, they sank to the bottom like a stone. He sank to the bottom like a
stone. What did He do? He saved His people through the judgment of the Lamb
and His blood on the doorposts and lintels. And He disjudged
the enemy by destroying him in the Red Sea. This is the theme
throughout Scripture. It is the theme of salvation. For the promise to Eve was that
her seed would bruise the serpent's head and the serpent would bruise
his heel. That's the promise. As he has
judged our transgression, he has likewise judged our enemy
and put them down. God will do these things for
his people and much more. He will establish a relationship
with them. He said, I will take you for
my people. and i will be to you a god and you shall know that
i am the lord your god which bringeth you out from under the
burdens of the egyptians you shall know i will take you for
my people it's not like he's doing the taking he didn't say
i'll ask you to be my people i'll see if you want to be my
people because i'm going to take you for my people now he's taking them
as his people as his family as his bride this is pictured over
at ezekiel chapter fifteen And it's Ezekiel chapter 15.
Or chapter 16, rather. In verse
8, it says, Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee,
behold, thy time was the time of love. I spread my skirt over
thee, and covered thy nakedness. Yea, I swore unto thee, and entered
into a covenant with thee. Thou becamest mine, and I'll
take thee from me. Then I washed thee with water, yea, I thoroughly
washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
I clothed thee with broided work, and shod thee with badger skin,
and I girded thee about with fine linen, and covered thee
with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets
upon thy hands, and a chain upon thy neck. I put a jewel in thy
forehead, and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon
thy head. Thus thou wast decked with gold
and silver, thy raiment was of fine linen and silk and broderwort,
thou didst eat fine flour and honey and oil, and thou wast
exceeding beautiful, thou didst prosper into a kingdom, and thy
renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty, for it was perfect
through my comeliness which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord
God. the Lord, I'll take you for myself.
I'll take you. You're going to be my people.
You're going to be my people and He will be their God and
they will know that He is the Lord, their Savior. He says you'll
know that I am the Lord. That also is part of that great
covenant of grace. Look over to Jeremiah. Jeremiah
chapter 31 is the story of this great new covenant that God establishes
with His people. this passage of scripture quoted
in hebrews twice in hebrews eight and also in hebrews chapter ten
but in jeremiah chapter thirty one in verse thirty one it says
behold the days come saith the lord that i will make a new covenant
with the house of israel that's talking about the covenant of
grace and the house of judah now the result of that is there
will be no sin found in judah or israel it says later on but
not according to the covenant i made with their fathers in
the day that i took them by the hand and brought them out of
egypt which my covenant they break. Now that was a covenant
of works at Sinai. Although I was a husband unto
them, I was good to them, they was bad to me. But this shall
be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After
those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts,
that is his word, and I will write it in their hearts, and
I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they
shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the Lord, they shall all know me what he
said back here in Moses they shall all know me from the least
of them and to the greatest of them saith the Lord for I will
forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sins no more that's
from Hebrews chapter 10 verses 12 through 18 this is quoted
from that when it says the Lord has perfected forever them that
are sanctified and he said after he said before I will make a
new covenant with them and put my laws in their hearts and I
will remember their sins no more Why? Because he made a covenant.
This is a covenant. God does not break His word.
God keeps His word. And the proof that they are indeed
a family is that they have been made an heirs. He said they have
a heritage. In verse 8 it says, I will bring
you into the land concerning that which I did swear to Abraham,
and to Isaac, and to Jacob, I will give it to you for a heritage.
For a heritage. I will give you a heritage in
Romans 8 17 said we are if we are the children of God we are
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ in Galatians Paul
continually calls the children of God heirs of promise in Ephesians
chapter 1 it says he gives us an inheritance the one who gives
us an inheritance is the one who predestinates all things
after the counsel of his own will that's our inheritance. This entire message is enclosed
by two glorious bookends. All the things said come between
two things that are said, one in the beginning and one in the
end. Verse two says this, and God spake to Moses and said,
I am the Lord. Now look at the last part of
verse eight. I am the Lord. Everything that
falls in there between those is because He is the Lord. scripture
says the lord said malachi chapter three verse six i am the lord
i change not therefore you sons of jacob are not consumed and
in hebrew chapter thirteen verse eight it says jesus christ is
the same yesterday today and forever and all i can say to
that is enough said enough said god bless you Thank you.
