1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,600
My wife and I are real happy to 
be here with you folks today and

2
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:10,000
heard a very edifying lesson 
this morning and I'm thankful to

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,600
have this opportunity to speak 
with you folks this evening. 

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:22,000
We will be studying the subject 
of some things, we know. and 

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,200
this will, Basically be using 
scriptures that have the word no

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,700
in them. 
But just to bring this subject 

7
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:39,100
to our minds with a quotation. 
We all refer to John the 8th 

8
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:49,600
chapter and verse 32. and there 
Jesus said, And ye shall know 

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,700
the truth and the truth shall 
make you free. 

10
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,300
Before we go, further in our 
study, we want to Humble 

11
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:02,500
ourselves together while we pray
together. 

12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,200
We have this great privilege and
incidentally concerning 

13
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,600
concerning the lesson tonight 
folks. 

14
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,000
As we pray, we can know that God
hears us that listens to our 

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,100
prayer. 
Let us party. 

16
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:26,300
What we want to do. 
This evening is simply take some

17
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:31,700
scriptures that have this word. 
No in them. 

18
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:38,700
Now on the subject we just 
preach here, all night about 

19
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:43,500
different scriptures that would 
infer and teach what we are to 

20
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:46,700
know and what we can do with 
what we know and so forth. 

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,300
This is the basic lesson in the 
Bible. 

22
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:57,600
But it has to do with our faith.
Now, I remember when I was just 

23
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:05,400
a young boy, hearing some 
brother and say we we hope that 

24
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:12,100
we have eternal life, but we 
cannot know that were saved or 

25
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:17,100
that were a child of God. 
Because we haven't, we haven't 

26
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:21,100
seen it yet. 
We know things that we have seen

27
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:24,200
but things that we simply have 
faith in them. 

28
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:27,200
In other words, they were 
separating the meaning of the 

29
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,000
word faith from that of 
knowledge or no. 

30
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:37,300
Well folks that go together as 
far as a Christian is concerned.

31
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:40,100
And so will notice this these 
scriptures concerning these 

32
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:44,300
things and show how how that we 
can know. 

33
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:50,300
That were saved. 
And how that we can trusting in 

34
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:54,100
God in this respect, serve him 
and had confidence and peace of 

35
00:02:54,100 --> 00:03:01,500
mind. now in first grade, First 
Corinthians 8 and verses 1 

36
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:07,500
through 2 The Apostle Paul said 
now, as touching things offered 

37
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:14,600
to Idols, we know that we all 
have knowledge knowledge puffeth

38
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,700
up, but charity edifieth. 
Now this would be of course the 

39
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:23,300
the existence of knowledge 
without love and and that that 

40
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,400
too is bad. 
You see when you get pride and 

41
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,700
become exalt yourself because 
you know something that's not 

42
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:33,800
right and so he shows the 
tendency of knowledge Knowledge 

43
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,600
puffeth up. 
But charity has five. 

44
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,500
And if any man think that he 
knows anything. 

45
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:45,100
But notice this, he knoweth 
nothing yet as he ought to know 

46
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:50,300
In other words, if you know 
something there's no need, you 

47
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:54,400
bragging about it? 
Know, if you do know what it's 

48
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,300
something you ought to know and 
so the scripture teaches a 

49
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,300
lesson of humility there in 
having knowledge. 

50
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Well what is one of the things 
that we that we can know that we

51
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,500
do know, all right. 
John 8 and verse 32 and their 

52
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:16,800
the scripture says and he shall 
know the truth and the truth 

53
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:35,300
shall make you free. 
I'm just getting older but I'll 

54
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,500
just write that word up there. 
You can know the truth. 

55
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,800
You see? 
And and and the scripture says, 

56
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,200
and the truth shall make you 
free. 

57
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,400
All right, let's go to some 
other scriptures about this 

58
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,200
subject for this part of our 
lesson, John 17 and 17. 

59
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:53,200
And they're Jesus. 
Praying to his father said 

60
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,400
sanctify them, through thy 
truth. 

61
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:58,600
Thy word is truth. 
All right. 

62
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,100
You shall know the truth. 
Alright. 

63
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:05,300
We're Sanctified by the truth or
through the truth again. 

64
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:14,400
Hebrews 6 and 18. 
Now in Hebrews 6 and 18 is 

65
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,000
talking about God and making his
promises concerning the Seed of 

66
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,600
Abraham to Abraham and and at 
the promises that we have in 

67
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,700
Christ and he says that by two 
immutable things. 

68
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,700
In which it was impossible for 
God to lie. 

69
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,600
We might have a strong 
consolation who have fled for 

70
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,100
Refuge lay hold upon the Hope 
set before us. 

71
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:45,200
Which hope we have as an anchor 
of the soul and so forth. 

72
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,000
We're going to will come back to
this verse of scripture here. 

73
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:57,100
But notice here that this is 
God's war and that by two 

74
00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:01,100
immutable things that's in. 
That's the fact that God did 

75
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:06,800
swear and and the fact also that
it was impossible for God to 

76
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,500
lie. 
Both of those things even though

77
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:14,800
it was impossible for God to 
lie, God's war and gave the 

78
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,300
promise. 
Now then we might have a strong 

79
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:21,300
consolation who have fled for 
Refuge to lay hold upon the Hope

80
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:26,300
set before us. 
So Is he? 

81
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:33,800
God cannot lie. 
If we know something, God said, 

82
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:39,000
we know it to be true. 
Because, God tells don't lives. 

83
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:43,300
Alright, again, Mark 12 and 
verse 24 to 25. 

84
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:50,100
Here was a case whether the 
Sadducees in the came to Jesus 

85
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:54,600
tempting him. 
And they they were putting a 

86
00:06:54,608 --> 00:06:56,100
story before they were. 
Didn't believe in the 

87
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,100
resurrection? 
Jesus have been talking about 

88
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:01,800
the resurrection. 
And they brought up a case where

89
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:04,200
a woman had been married, 27 
men. 

90
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,100
Now, scripturally that each 
died, she married this one, he 

91
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:11,000
died and so forth. 
And she had seven husbands 

92
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,400
during her life and they asked 
Jesus said, now in the 

93
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,700
resurrection whose husbands 
going to be hers, which one's 

94
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:20,200
going to be your husband, you 
see? 

95
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:27,600
alright now notice what Jesus 
said in mark this is Mark 12 and

96
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:35,200
24 and Jesus answering said unto
them, do ye not therefore do ye 

97
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:41,700
not therefore are Because ye 
know not the scriptures. 

98
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Neither the power of God. 
Alright, now we we've already 

99
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,300
read, you should know the truth.
Well, we find out that the word 

100
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:58,300
of God is the truth. 
And they erred in judgment 

101
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:03,100
because they knew not the 
scriptures. 

102
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,300
You see what you can do, you can
you can own your own judgment. 

103
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,100
You can make decisions you can 
make. 

104
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,200
And it's all right, and 
different things in different 

105
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,600
ways. 
But when it comes to serving 

106
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:22,600
God, we must know the truth. 
And these here didn't understand

107
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,700
the truth. 
And and therefore, that's the 

108
00:08:25,707 --> 00:08:29,000
reason why they made that 
argument about whose husband, 

109
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,100
shall they be? 
Well, Jesus went ahead and 

110
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:34,500
explained to them that In 
Heaven. 

111
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,700
There is neither male, nor 
female. 

112
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:45,100
And that all in that sense, our 
he see that the woman will not 

113
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:50,800
have a husband in eternity. 
That's what they were asking. 

114
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:58,200
Okay. 
Now then in the case concerning 

115
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Nicodemus, The same came to 
Jesus by night and said unto 

116
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,600
him. 
Rabbi we know that thou art a 

117
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,500
teacher come from God. 
Now, notice, how Nicodemus was 

118
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:17,000
so convinced, He said Jesus. 
I know that you're a man from 

119
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,100
God. 
A teacher from God for no man, 

120
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:23,900
can do these Miracles, that thou
doest, except God be with him. 

121
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,800
Now, he knew because God, Jesus 
had been performing Miracles 

122
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:34,000
that he was from God. well, you 
know when it came down to it 

123
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
when Jesus began to teach him 
concerning in the in the fifth 

124
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,100
verse except a man be born of 
water and the spirit, you know 

125
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:49,500
he said well how can this be He 
didn't understand and somebody 

126
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:56,700
else, he didn't believe Jesus. 
Well, now, then Jesus told him 

127
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:03,400
in John, the third chapter verse
11 to 13, Verily verily. 

128
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,900
I say unto thee. 
We speak that, we do know. 

129
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:13,700
Now he's already, he's already 
made the exclamation that Jesus 

130
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:17,100
we know you're from God. 
Alright, Jesus tell him. 

131
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,900
Listen, what I say? 
Oh I know what I'm talking 

132
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:21,200
about. 
We speak that we do. 

133
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,200
Go and testify that we have seen
and you receive not our Witness 

134
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:34,100
I have told you of you Earthly 
things and ye believe not how 

135
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:37,100
shall ye believe. 
If I tell you Heavenly things 

136
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,300
and no man hath ascended up to 
heaven but he that came down 

137
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:45,200
from heaven. 
Even the son of man which is in 

138
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:51,000
heaven. 
Well you see there Nicodemus, 

139
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,200
Lee one exclamation that we know
you from God. 

140
00:10:56,700 --> 00:11:00,600
And then when Jesus began to 
teach, he didn't believe it. 

141
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:03,000
He didn't believe that teaching.
You see? 

142
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,800
And and and so it is you see for
our for our faith, or our 

143
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:13,900
beliefs, can contradict And 
instead of saying God Jesus you 

144
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:17,600
know what you're talking about 
and God knows what he's talking 

145
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,500
about. 
And so Nicodemus for the 

146
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:24,100
understood or not should have 
believed because he knew that 

147
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:30,100
Jesus was from God. 
No. 

148
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,800
Jesus said in John 12, And 
versus 48 to 50. 

149
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:44,300
He that rejecteth me and 
receiveth not my words has won 

150
00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:47,400
the judges him, the word that I 
have spoken. 

151
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,600
The same shall judge him in the 
last day. 

152
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:55,900
For I have spoken of myself. 
Pardon me for, I have not spoken

153
00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:58,900
of myself but the Father which 
sent me. 

154
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,400
He gave me a commandment. 
What I should say, and what I 

155
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,700
should speak, and I know that 
his commandment is life 

156
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:11,300
Everlasting. 
Now, this is Jesus speaking. 

157
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,100
God commanded, Jesus? 
What to say? 

158
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:25,400
Well, he ship on this Earth. 
Jesus said nothing on his own. 

159
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,300
And so he and he said it and I 
know that his commandment is 

160
00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:34,800
life Everlasting. 
Now I know that God's 

161
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,900
commandment is Everlasting 
whatsoever. 

162
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:42,900
I speak therefore even of the 
father said unto me so I speak. 

163
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:48,200
and so you see these things 
where we we have the term we 

164
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,600
know Jesus said, I know that his
commandment is life and we know 

165
00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:02,800
that too because Jesus taught us
that it was now concerning Jesus

166
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:08,200
again in John, 21 and 24. 
The Apostle Paul, the Apostle 

167
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:14,800
John, is he ends his epistle. 
He says, in the last chapter 

168
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,300
there, this is the disciple 
which testified of these things 

169
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:23,900
and wrote these things. 
And we know that his testimony 

170
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:29,400
is true. 
We know that You know, there in 

171
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,300
John, I'll turn read that. 
The last verses there concerning

172
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:46,300
Now, this is John 21. 
And we'll read versus 30. 30 and

173
00:13:46,400 --> 00:14:18,700
31. 
Just a moment, please. 

174
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,000
I have my scripture mistaken 
here. 

175
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,600
It's right here in this chapter.
I know, but the Apostle Peter, 

176
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:42,800
the Apostle John said that many 
other signs, truly did Jesus 

177
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:48,800
which are not written in this 
book. but these are written that

178
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,600
you might believe, And so it is 
that these things written in in 

179
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,800
his book are written so that we 
might believe and know that they

180
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:05,600
are the truth. 
Now let us notice that we are to

181
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,400
keep his word first John 2 and 
5. 

182
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,000
But whoso keepeth his word in 
him verily is the love of God, 

183
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,100
perfected here, by hereby know 
we that we are in him. 

184
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,100
All right. 
Now, how do we know we're in 

185
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:26,100
him? 
Because we have kept his word 

186
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
and so we can know that we are 
in Christ. 

187
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,000
All right. 
Again first, John 5 and 13. 

188
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,400
These things have. 
I written unto you that believe 

189
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,000
on the name of the son of God, 
That you may know that you have 

190
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,500
eternal life and that ye may 
believe on the name of the son 

191
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:45,700
of God. 
All right. 

192
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,300
You know, I meet you at the 
first part of the lesson that I 

193
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:53,700
used to hear Brother years ago 
saying, I think many of them 

194
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,200
know, no better now, but you 
cannot know that you're saved. 

195
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:00,500
You cannot know that you have 
eternal life. 

196
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,800
You can only have faith that you
have eternal life. 

197
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,400
Well, they go together as we 
notice here and But contrary to 

198
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,500
that, you see the scripture does
teach. 

199
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,400
Now notice how we, how we can 
decide on this. 

200
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,800
These things have, I written 
unto you. 

201
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,100
All right, here it is. 
It's been written to us and 

202
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:27,300
John. 
And the scripture says here, 

203
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,000
these things have. 
I written unto you that believe,

204
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,300
on the name of the son of God. 
This is the Apostle John 

205
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:38,200
speaking. 
That ye may know that you have 

206
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,800
eternal life and that ye may 
believe all the name of the son 

207
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,400
of God. 
So he these things are written 

208
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,900
so that we can know if we follow
according to the teaching here 

209
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:57,400
on that, we have eternal life. 
That is no resection. 

210
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,500
Corinthians 5 and 10. 
For, we know that if this 

211
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:05,800
Earthly House of art, a black 
were dissolved. 

212
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,200
We have a building God and 
house, not made with hands 

213
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,500
Eternal in the heavens. 
Now, what is this? 

214
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:17,800
We got to guess at it. 
We think probably it says for we

215
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,200
know that if the Earthly House 
of this Tabernacle were 

216
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,700
dissolved We have a building of 
God and house not made with 

217
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:28,800
hands Eternal in the heavens. 
We know that. 

218
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,300
In other words that this body 
decays and go back to the dirt 

219
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:38,800
of the dust and we know that we 
have an eternal home in heaven. 

220
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:45,900
Now. 
Something else that we know 1st,

221
00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:53,300
Peter 1 and 18 to 19. 
What will be what renamed us. 

222
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,700
The scripture here says 
forasmuch as ye know that ye 

223
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:04,300
were not redeemed with 
corruptible things as silver and

224
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:09,300
gold from your vain conversation
received by tradition of your 

225
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:12,800
father's, but by the precious 
blood of Christ as of a lamb 

226
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:15,200
without blemish, and without 
spot. 

227
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:20,100
All right, now this is something
we know we're not Redeemed by 

228
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:23,300
profitable things. 
But by what, by the by the 

229
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:26,700
precious blood of Christ, Christ
as of a lamb. 

230
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,100
And he was his blood was shed 
for our Redemption and for our 

231
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:37,100
salvation, Thus the Apostle Paul
writing to Timothy says in first

232
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,500
in the first chapter, in second 
Timothy. 

233
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:44,800
And the work 12, 12 verse 4 the 
which cause I also suffer these 

234
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,200
things. 
Lev unless I'm not ashamed. 

235
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:55,200
For I know whom I have believed 
and am persuaded that he is able

236
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,600
to keep that which I've 
committed unto him against that 

237
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,400
day. 
Well, we know we can read in the

238
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,100
book of Acts and in the letters 
to the Corinthians brother and 

239
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:08,900
so forth and 2, Timothy many of 
the trials that that Paul in 

240
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:12,200
yours and even in the end, he 
was put to death for his 

241
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,700
preaching of the Gospel. 
But what? 

242
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:18,400
But the point was in all this, 
he says, I know whom I have 

243
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:26,200
believed And every second and a 
persuaded that he is able to 

244
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,200
keep that which I've committed 
unto him. 

245
00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:34,800
Against that day, meaning 
against the day of judgment, he 

246
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:43,200
knew he trusted in God almighty.
Well, something else we can 

247
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,400
know. 
Let's read, Romans, 8, and verse

248
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,100
28. 
And there the Apostle Paul 

249
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,100
writing to the church at Rome 
said, and we know that all 

250
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,600
things work together for good to
them that love God. 

251
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,300
To them who are the called, 
according to his purpose. 

252
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:05,500
All right, we know this all 
things work together for good. 

253
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,800
To them to love God. 
Now that doesn't mean that 

254
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:17,900
everything that that two 
situations we have been here are

255
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:25,300
Pleasant and they might be 
things that are hindrance in 

256
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:28,900
some respect or another. 
But the point is, if we love 

257
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:34,700
God, you know, love this this 
this word right here to know 

258
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:42,400
Going along with love. 
Trust. 

259
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,800
These things if you know it, 
folks, and, you know what's 

260
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,800
right trust in God, do it. 
And whatever the result might 

261
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,200
be, you might be persecuted for.
He might be persecuted in doing 

262
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,200
the right thing, but listen, all
things work together for good. 

263
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:03,600
To them that love God. 
We know that that's something 

264
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,500
that we know. 
And so we believe it. 

265
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:17,600
Now. 
We know also that we will be 

266
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,900
like him in the in the, in the 
life to come in. 

267
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:25,500
First, John, three. 
And to their the scripture says 

268
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:28,700
beloved. 
Now, are we, the sons of God and

269
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:31,100
it doth not yet appear. 
What we shall be? 

270
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,300
Now, he see as a preacher and we
that each here, we don't get up 

271
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:39,300
here and try to tell you what 
kind of a body you're going to 

272
00:21:39,308 --> 00:21:41,800
have. 
In the Life to Come. 

273
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,700
There's some things we know 
about it but yet we don't know 

274
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:52,300
an absolute sense and so he says
it does not yet appear. 

275
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:58,800
What we shall be but we do know.
That will be like him. 

276
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,400
For we shall see him as he is. 
And we know that. and that's 

277
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,400
something live for it and 
something to trust him and 

278
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:15,700
something to give our lives and 
and service to him, Now 

279
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:21,600
sometimes, you know, labor, you 
get tired, you can talk about 

280
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:26,900
physical job. 
I worked on a job one time down 

281
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:34,600
in Louisiana and I mean, it was 
hot and I just about sunstroke 

282
00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:37,800
because and I just like lost 
every bit of strength by 

283
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,300
hanging. 
Well that can happen. 

284
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:44,200
Only job in situations where 
you're working over doing what 

285
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,200
your physical body will. 
Allow you to do, there is 

286
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,700
sometimes it makes you sick. 
These things happen. 

287
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,900
But the same. 
That is not true. 

288
00:22:54,900 --> 00:23:11,000
Concerning the spiritual man. 
Now. the scripture says, 1st 

289
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,900
Corinthians 15:58. 
Therefore, my beloved Brethren 

290
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:21,000
be ye steadfast unmovable always
abounding in the work of the 

291
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:29,100
Lord forasmuch as ye know that 
your labor is not in vain. 

292
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:34,000
In the Lord. 
You can trust you net, you don't

293
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,500
become weary, you don't drop, we
got come over, come because you 

294
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:40,700
know, if you're serving the lord
you know, that's not in vain. 

295
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,000
But it will be, it will give you
a great reward. 

296
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:52,000
Now, as you bring this lesson to
a close, we've noticed several 

297
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,500
things that we are to know the 
truth and that we are to trust 

298
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:01,800
in the teaching of the 
scriptures and realize that we 

299
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,900
should realize that the word of 
God, the Bible is the word of 

300
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:07,600
God. 
And that it is true. 

301
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,000
And we know it's truth and and 
listen, if God said it is true. 

302
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:15,400
It's right. 
We know that we, we absolute on 

303
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,400
our knowledge of the teaching of
the Bible. 

304
00:24:18,100 --> 00:24:26,200
We know the promises of God are 
true, and the promises are based

305
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,300
Upon God's power upon God who he
is. 

306
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:39,000
And and his word teaching us 
concerning, the hope that we 

307
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,700
have in the life to come. 
I'd like to turn to Hebrews 6 

308
00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:44,400
hours to bring this lesson to a 
close. 

309
00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:52,800
And their will read. 
Concerning the promise that God 

310
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,400
has made us and, and concerning 
these things, which have to do 

311
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,900
with what the things after this 
life will begin reading with 

312
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:08,600
verse 13 here and Hebrews 6. for
when God made promise to 

313
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:14,300
Abraham, Because he could swear 
by no greater, he swear by 

314
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:19,200
himself. 
Saying surely blessing, I Will 

315
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,900
Bless thee and multiplying I 
will multiply thee. 

316
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:27,200
And so after he had patiently, 
endured he obtained the promise.

317
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,500
Now, this had to do with 
Abraham. 

318
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:46,900
And he was promised that it's in
your seed, all the nations of 

319
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:51,500
the world was blessed. 
And so we understand that God 

320
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:54,300
made the promise to Abraham that
through here. 

321
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:58,700
See And that we understand to be
Jesus. 

322
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:05,500
With the promise of salvation, 
for all men come to pass. 

323
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,100
But all the nations of the 
earth, be blessed. 

324
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,200
Now this was the promise made to
him. 

325
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,700
And he said in this promised 
saying surely blessing, I Will 

326
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:27,800
Bless thee and multiplying I 
will multiply thee. 

327
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,900
He made a nation out of the Seed
of Abraham and that of Isaac and

328
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:36,900
Jacob and so after he had 
patiently endured he obtained 

329
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,700
the promise. 
For been very swear by the 

330
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:43,100
greater and a nose for 
confirmation is to them. 

331
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:47,300
And in the ball surprise, we're 
in God willing more abundantly 

332
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,700
to show unto The Heirs of the 
promise, the immutability of his

333
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:53,500
counsel confirmed, it by an 
oath. 

334
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:59,900
You see when God when God made 
this promise to Abraham, he many

335
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:02,600
notes. 
Now in the first place, God 

336
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,400
can't lie. 
You see? 

337
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,200
But God went beyond that. 
And confirmed. 

338
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,100
What a the promise he made to 
Abraham with an oath, he swore. 

339
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,000
By himself. 
That the Messiah would come 

340
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,300
through his seed. 
He see and he confirmed it by an

341
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:28,500
oath. 
Why did he do this? 

342
00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:34,500
Alright notice Verse 18. 
That by two immutable things. 

343
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,300
Immutable means undisputable 
unquestionable. 

344
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,900
By these two, immutable things 
in which it was impossible for 

345
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:51,300
him to lie. 
Now, you see in the first place,

346
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:57,000
God, don't tell lies. 
In the second place, God gave 

347
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,100
the promise to him through an 
oath. 

348
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,300
Even though it's impossible for 
God to lie. 

349
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,300
And this is true this says which
hope we have as an anchor of. 

350
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:14,000
Well that by two immutable 
things Verse 18 in which it was 

351
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,400
impossible for God to lie, we 
might have a strong consolation 

352
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:23,500
Who have fled for Refuge to lay?
Hold upon the Hope set before 

353
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:26,400
us. 
Now, the Hope set before us is 

354
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,100
eternal life. 
To live. 

355
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:38,100
Not in the flesh, but in heaven 
not upon this Earth materially, 

356
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:43,000
but with god, with another body,
in a mortal body to be with God,

357
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,900
and with Christ to live in peace
and happiness, forever and 

358
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:52,000
forever. 
This is, this is what this 

359
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:58,100
promise is all about. 
And the promise was made, God 

360
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:05,200
gave it oath. 
So your faith and my faith can 

361
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,600
be so strong. 
There's no question about it. 

362
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:11,700
God was willing to confirm it by
a nose even though he couldn't 

363
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:15,400
lie. 
Which hope we have as an anchor 

364
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,800
of the Soul, both sure. 
And steadfast and which enters 

365
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,400
into that within the veil was 
the Forerunner is for us 

366
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,600
entered, even Jesus made it high
priest Forever After the order 

367
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:37,500
of Melchizedek. 
Folks, we can now this subject 

368
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:42,700
must be taken with humility. 
Not being proud. 

369
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:48,000
Uh not not thinking well look 
what I can do, that's not that's

370
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,500
not the point. 
But you know, it's our faith 

371
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:57,900
folks. in God, and in serving 
God, and even our faith in 

372
00:29:57,900 --> 00:30:02,500
recognizing when we sing but the
thing is, we recognize that God 

373
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:09,100
loves us and God will forgive If
we repent, we realize this, 

374
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:13,300
there's no question about it. 
And there is that salvation. 

375
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:21,800
Of living forever and forever in
heaven, Eternal, peace and joy. 

376
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:27,000
No pain, no sorrow. 
And the Bible says, God shall 

377
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,300
wipe away all tears from their 
eyes. 

378
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:40,300
I believe that God is a person. 
Now he is not limited to a 

379
00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:44,700
certain place, as such he can be
anywhere anytime and some of 

380
00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:46,900
these things, we might not be 
able to comprehend. 

381
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,600
And also Moses is told that he 
couldn't see his face. 

382
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:00,200
His face was there. 
But Moses were not allowed to 

383
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,700
look at it. 
He was look, he is able to look 

384
00:31:03,700 --> 00:31:07,300
at God's hinder parts. 
Well, thing is folks, when we go

385
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:10,000
to heaven, we're going to be 
able to come before the Throne 

386
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,900
of God. 
We will see his face by the 

387
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:22,000
sixth. 
And he will wipe away all tears 

388
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:27,200
from our eyes. 
We know this. 

389
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:33,600
We know this is true. 
We know this promise is true. 

390
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,800
It is, if we humble ourselves 
search the scriptures and folks,

391
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,100
anybody can know the truth that 
brought that thought were 

392
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:43,300
brought out this morning. 
It's not hard to understand 

393
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:46,300
Faith, repentance confession and
baptized were baptized into 

394
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:51,100
Christ, and of all the work 
people go through, trying to 

395
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:52,300
say. 
Don't mean that? 

396
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:57,100
Well, we baptized for the 
remission of our sins, and on 

397
00:31:57,100 --> 00:32:00,000
the day of Pentecost, they were 
told to repent and be baptized 

398
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000
every one of you for the Mets. 
Sins and you shall receive the 

399
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,900
gift of the Holy Ghost. 
All right. 

400
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,500
Now then we can do that. 
And then we can obey the gospel 

401
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:11,700
become a child of God. 
Now boy, when you do that, you 

402
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:15,400
don't have to wonder. 
Well, the God forgives you. 

403
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,300
You can know the done. 
But then you must realize, 

404
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,500
folks, listen. 
Now listen, we don't know what 

405
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:31,100
we will do tomorrow. 
That's one reason why we have to

406
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:34,500
fear God. 
I don't have to as a Christian. 

407
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:36,500
I don't have to be afraid to die
now. 

408
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:42,600
But if a creek, but as a 
Christian, I've got to be afraid

409
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:49,000
about what I might do tomorrow. 
See if I leave, let's say this 

410
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,300
platform right here is 
salvation. 

411
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:55,100
And as long as I stand up here, 
I'm up on the front. 

412
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:59,400
I'm saying. 
Why - your wife? 

413
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,500
Why are we supposed to fear God,
if you're saying Because I can 

414
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:08,900
step off of this platform. 
And that's what I got to be 

415
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:12,700
afraid of. 
That's reason why the Bible 

416
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:17,800
teaches his people to fear Him. 
Even though we're saying it 

417
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,100
doesn't mean we can't leave him,
that doesn't mean we can't force

418
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:23,600
a chemo, quit living the 
Christian Life and go to hell, 

419
00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:31,900
you see. 
But we know that he will keep 

420
00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:35,000
his promises. 
So you see what we've got to do 

421
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,700
is be afraid of what we might 
do. 

422
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,800
Yes. 
Fear. 

423
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,900
God, keep his Commandments. 
Let's be afraid of ourselves in 

424
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:49,200
our strength and our 
determination and place that we 

425
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,800
can, we can arrange our 
thinking. 

426
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:54,900
So that we understand God's 
will. 

427
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,700
We know what he demands of us 
and we can serve him and trust 

428
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:03,600
him and know we're saying. 
But Let's be careful. 

429
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:10,800
Lest we fall as the Bible warns 
us and so it is that you can oh 

430
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:17,300
Today that your child have gone.
Now, if you're not you need to 

431
00:34:17,308 --> 00:34:21,000
become, you need to come back. 
If you're if a child of God, 

432
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,500
will you left the church? 
And you left doing what's right?

433
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,400
And you have sins that are not 
forgiven. 

434
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:29,600
We may give you to make things 
right with God. 

435
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:36,699
Now the question is the thing is
if you repent You can know that.

436
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:39,900
God loves you and God will 
forgive you. 

437
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,000
If we confess our sins, he is 
faithful and just to forgive us 

438
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,400
our sins and to cleanse us from 
all unrighteousness.
