1 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,500 Tonight, I want to talk on a theme that I have discussed over 2 00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:17,300 several television stations and has been mailed out actually by 3 00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:23,200 the thousands to viewers in in the viewing world. 4 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:29,700 I guess you could say I always like to have a lesson that has 5 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,300 Points that I can take, hold of if I can see in a lesson where a 6 00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:41,800 person is going, I can assimilate the information much 7 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,500 easier. And so I've always tried to have 8 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:49,400 definite points that a person could grasp whole Tov and take 9 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,600 home with him. And I hope that's the case 10 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,000 tonight. Not like one young man, spoke 11 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,700 one time and a elderly man told him, he said your your Reminded 12 00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:05,800 me of the earth before creation, he said, well how is that he 13 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,800 said, well, it's without form and void and so I hope that that 14 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:15,700 will not be the case in our lesson tonight. 15 00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:19,600 The question was asked after the Apostle Peter had predicted the 16 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,600 end of the material universe, as we know it, he said, but the day 17 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,400 of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the 18 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,100 heavens shall pass away with a great. 19 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,600 Noise than the element shall melt with fervent heat the 20 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,200 Earth, also, and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 21 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,400 And based upon that premise, that is that the Lord will come. 22 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,400 The heavens will pass away the element smell. 23 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,200 The Earth shall be burned up with its Works. 24 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,800 Peter asked this question? What manner of persons ought you 25 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,300 to be? That's a serious question. 26 00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:01,200 If we knew that tomorrow would be The end of the world. 27 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,200 As we know it, what kind of life should you have lived today? 28 00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,199 Of course, I can't say with any degree of assurance that the end 29 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:15,800 of the world will be tomorrow because we don't know that Peter 30 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,600 said it would come as a thief in the night that it would be, 31 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,500 unexpected sudden with no warning. 32 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:27,000 However, I can't say that it will not come tomorrow either. 33 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,100 Therefore, because the day of the Lord could be together, 34 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,000 Today or tomorrow? Or at any time? 35 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,500 Peter's thesis is we ought to be living holy and godly lives. 36 00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:41,500 What manner of persons ought we to be? 37 00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:47,000 Well, we ought to be new creatures in Christ, Jesus 38 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,800 taught it very plainly when he said, except a man be born 39 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,400 again. He cannot see the kingdom of 40 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,600 God. That is, he cannot apprehend it 41 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,500 or grasp it. John 3 and verse 3. 42 00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:02,800 And the fact that one is He born again, suggest a new creature, 43 00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:06,900 it's suggest conversion, it suggests change. 44 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:10,900 And yet many people seem to feel that they're good enough as they 45 00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,900 are. And they expect to be saved 46 00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:16,700 without any change or without any conversion. 47 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,000 But to be ready for the great day that Peter describes, one 48 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,100 must be converted. He must be changed. 49 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:28,700 He must remove his affections from the things of this world 50 00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:33,800 and sin of them upon Christ and his way, now the disciples that 51 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,300 Jesus selected to help him. And his ministry were great men. 52 00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:40,700 They were some of the greatest who ever lived. 53 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,500 But, you know, one time, they quarreled over, who would be the 54 00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:47,700 greatest in the kingdom. And so, Jesus, sat them sat a 55 00:03:47,708 --> 00:03:52,300 little child down in the midst of them and he said, verily, I 56 00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:55,800 say unto you except ye be converted, and become as little 57 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,100 children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 58 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,800 In other words, they had to be changed. 59 00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:07,700 You see one, cannot please God, without conversion without 60 00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:12,500 change a person who is still in love with sin is not fit for the 61 00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:15,800 Society of heaven. And I love always submitted that 62 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,000 a person who is still in love with sin would be miserable if 63 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000 he were suddenly placed in such holy company. 64 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,800 As that of Heaven. How do I know that? 65 00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:29,700 Why Sinners are miserable here in this world in the midst of 66 00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:31,500 those? Who are singing praying 67 00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,400 preaching and praising, God. And they're not going to be 68 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,800 changed simply because they've moved from one country to 69 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,800 another. Peter also said, repent, and be 70 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,500 baptized every one of you. In the name of Jesus Christ for 71 00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:49,900 the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the 72 00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:53,100 Holy Ghost. Notice Peter said repent. 73 00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:57,600 That means to be changed and be baptized so that you can have 74 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,800 your sins forgiven or remitted. Again, in Acts 3:19, he said 75 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,400 repent, ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be 76 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,700 blotted out now, the revision renders that repent, ye 77 00:05:10,707 --> 00:05:15,200 therefore and turn again. Baptism, is the Turning act by 78 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,200 which a person is transferred out of a state of alienation, 79 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,400 with God into a state of reconciliation with God, a 80 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,700 person can't go to heaven with his sins. 81 00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:27,700 They must be blotted out. Peter says they have to be 82 00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:30,200 remitted. That is one must change. 83 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,800 His purpose is our aims and change his state of being. 84 00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:38,100 Now, there are many today who feel like they're good enough. 85 00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:41,400 And that's a very dangerous ground to occupy because a 86 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,900 person who feels like he's good enough is not going to make any 87 00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:48,900 effort to change, but if he could only be made to realize 88 00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:52,800 that he's lost and in danger of Eternal destruction, then he 89 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,100 would cry out for salvation and if so he should realize that 90 00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:00,500 it's Peter said neither is there salvation in any other for There 91 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:04,200 is none other name under Heaven. Given among men whereby we must 92 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,400 be saved, acts 4, and verse 12. The Apostle Peter said, 93 00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:14,900 therefore, If any man be in Christ, he's a new creature, old 94 00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:19,400 things are passed away, behold. All things are become new. 95 00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:24,000 Now, it makes no difference, how morally good a person is if he's 96 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,500 not in Christ he's not a new creature because he said that, 97 00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,700 if any man be in Christ And he's a new creature. 98 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,900 Now the Lord has taught us the importance of being in Christ in 99 00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:38,900 the example of Cornelius and acts the 10th chapter. 100 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,800 Here was a man that the Bible describes as a devout man one 101 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,400 that feared God one that gave much alms a man who prayed all 102 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,600 way. And also this man had seen an 103 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,800 angel and yet with all of this good record, the angel said to 104 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,400 him, send men to Joppa. Call for one Simon, whose 105 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,200 surname is Peter, and he shall tell thee, words whereby thee 106 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,900 and thy house shall be saved. Now, certainly a person who 107 00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:17,000 needs to be saved is lost, isn't he? 108 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,700 And so he needed here. Words whereby, he could be saved 109 00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:22,600 now. Why called for Simon Peter? 110 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,800 Well, he was one of the ones who stood over there on the mountain 111 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,200 and heard Jesus, give the Great Commission when he said all 112 00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:34,200 Power is given unto me in heaven and in Earth go ye therefore, 113 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,900 and preach the gospel to Every Creature. 114 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. 115 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,100 He that believeth not shall be. Damned Mark, 16 15 and 16 and 116 00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:51,500 also Matthew 28 and verse 18. Now, Cornelius was a good moral 117 00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:56,300 man from the standpoint of works, but he was not in Christ. 118 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,100 And the Bible affirms that there is no salvation out of And there 119 00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:05,100 is no other name, given among men whereby we must be saved. 120 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,800 So what happened when Peter arrived? 121 00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:11,200 Well, you remember that Cornelius, met him at the door, 122 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,400 he had his family and his friends all gathered there. 123 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,200 And he said, we've here to here all things that are commanded, 124 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,400 thee of God. And so, Peter began to speak. 125 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,600 And you remember what happened? Have that as he began to speak? 126 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,200 The Bible says the Holy Spirit fell on Cornelius. 127 00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:33,600 And his house they speak in tongues, which gave Peter 128 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,400 evidence of the fact that they had received manifestation of 129 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,000 the Holy Spirit, The Gift of the Holy Spirit. 130 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,300 And so, the Bible says, who can forbid water, that these should 131 00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:47,000 not be baptized who have received the Holy Ghost as well 132 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,400 as. We now, the reason they received 133 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,900 the Holy Spirit was to evidence to Peter, who was a devout Jew 134 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,300 and a pretty hard-headed one at that that they too were 135 00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:00,200 candidates for salvation, even though they were Gentiles. 136 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,200 And so when Peter saw that evidence, he said I couldn't 137 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,400 withstand God, I can't stand up in the face of God, say they're 138 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,900 not worthy because they received the like gift as we did and so 139 00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:16,600 he says he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord 140 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,000 Jesus. Now observe if you will that 141 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,100 Cornelius, Good Deeds were not condemned but he had to enter 142 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:27,600 Christ and do his deeds in order to have the promise of Eternal 143 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,100 reward, that's because of the scripture. 144 00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:34,100 We We quoted last night and Colossians 3 and verse 17, which 145 00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:39,800 says and whatsoever you do in word or deed do all in the name 146 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,200 of the Lord. Jesus giving. 147 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,900 Thanks to God and the father by him, we have to do that and by 148 00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:51,100 the authority of Christ. Now, in order to be very clear 149 00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:55,100 about this, I want to illustrate what we're talking about. 150 00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:59,900 Let's suppose that over here somewhere or some people here in 151 00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,000 New can understand this illustration. 152 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,100 I think that's suppose that there are two Vineyards side by 153 00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:10,600 side for both, say that these belong to mr. 154 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,300 A and mr. Beef. 155 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,100 And there's a band and hires out to work in this Vineyard and the 156 00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,200 mr. A says, if you'll go work in my 157 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,500 Vineyard today, I don't know what the going wage is, but 158 00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:28,300 let's say that he says, I'll pay you $50 if you'll work in my 159 00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:31,800 Vineyard today and so the man goes over there and begins to 160 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,800 work. And as he works, he looks across 161 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,600 the road over here to mr. B's Vineyard and there's some 162 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,500 people over there that he recognizes and they the workers 163 00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,000 called him to come over here, work with us. 164 00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:50,600 So he goes across the road and he works all day and mr. 165 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,700 B's Vineyard then at the end of the day, he comes to mr. 166 00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:59,900 A and he says I want my reward, I want my wages that I've 167 00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:02,800 worked. Mr. Rice as well, you didn't 168 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,800 work in my venue. You go over there to the man 169 00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:08,800 that you work for and he goes over to mr. 170 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,300 B, and asked for his wages. Mr. B says I didn't hire you go 171 00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:16,500 to the man that hired you and so the poor man goes away without 172 00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:20,900 any reward for his labor. That's a pitiful picture is but 173 00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:22,500 that's the picture of the moral man. 174 00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:27,000 He's doing good deeds. It's true but, you know, he's 175 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,600 not enrolled in the Lord's Vineyard, he's not Working for 176 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:36,600 the Lord, and the devil has an offered any reward and so his 177 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:42,200 loss, his Good Deeds, go on rewarded because the Bible says, 178 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,300 what's whatever you do in word or deed. 179 00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:50,500 Do all in the name of the Lord. Now, since it's so important to 180 00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:55,300 enter Christ and work in his kingdom or in his Vineyard, the 181 00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:59,500 question tonight must be, how do we get into Christ? 182 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,200 How do we Her Christ, the Apostle Paul said, If any man be 183 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,900 in Christ, he's a new creature, old things are passed away, 184 00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:11,500 behold. All things are become new. 185 00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:15,200 Well, I want to try to tell you tonight, how to get into Christ 186 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,600 and I want to try to make it so plain that you can't help but 187 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,100 understand how we get into Christ. 188 00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:26,300 I'm going to let this circle here represent, how we get into 189 00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:29,000 Christ. Let's say that this circle 190 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,300 represents That Fellowship being in Christ where there is no 191 00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:37,900 condemnation, Romans 8 and 1 say it. 192 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,900 All right, we have to hear the gospel don't lie because the 193 00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:46,000 Bible says faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word 194 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,800 of God. That's in Romans, the 10th 195 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,900 chapter and verse 17. Not only must we here, we have 196 00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:55,800 to believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, if you believe not 197 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,000 that, I am he, you will die in your sins. 198 00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,600 We have to repent or turn away. From all known sin. 199 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,100 Jesus said, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 200 00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:10,200 We have to confess Christ because Matthew 10 and verse 32, 201 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,800 says, whosoever, therefore shall confess me before men him will. 202 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,800 I confess also before my Father, which is in heaven and finally, 203 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:23,400 we must be baptized. But now look here, we find over 204 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,000 enrollments the tenth chapter in verses 9 and 10. 205 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000 The Apostle Paul said that if Thou shalt confess with thy 206 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000 mouth, My mouth, the Lord, Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart 207 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,400 that God has raised from the dead. 208 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,000 Thou shalt be saved for with the heart, man, believeth unto 209 00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:41,900 righteousness. And with the mouth confession is 210 00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:47,300 made unto salvation. Acts 11, I believe it's Verse 18 211 00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:50,800 says, they love God grammed. Also to the Gentiles repentance 212 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,500 unto. Why? 213 00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:55,600 So, look, here we were believe on the righteousness. 214 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,000 We repent unto life. We confess unto salvation. 215 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,100 But there's a Figure over here when we come to baptism because 216 00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:06,100 in Galatians the third chapter and verse 26, we hear the 217 00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:10,800 Apostle Paul saying therefore we're all children of God by 218 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,600 faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been 219 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,600 baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. 220 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,500 Now, how do we get in Christ? We were baptized into Christ, 221 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,900 not into some human denomination. 222 00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:28,300 Not into some club or organization, but he said, we're 223 00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:32,100 baptized into Christ. Just now when we were baptized 224 00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:35,400 into Christ, then we have access to all of the spiritual 225 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,900 blessings. Because the Bible says that all 226 00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:42,500 spiritual blessings in Heavenly places are in Christ Jesus. 227 00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:48,000 In Ephesians, the first chapter and verse 3, well, led by the 228 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,200 spirits voice, then recorded in his word. 229 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,900 Baptized in water, he's born of water and the spirit and he 230 00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,400 enters Christ. I want to illustrate it just a 231 00:14:59,408 --> 00:15:01,500 little more. I don't know. 232 00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:06,000 You folks don't have tornadoes are often over here but we do 233 00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:10,900 Oklahoma where I live and sometimes they get pretty close 234 00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:14,700 to. Let's suppose that I have a 235 00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:19,900 fraidy hole out in my backyard. That's what we call a seller 236 00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:27,400 storm cellar, and it's just four steps from the back door of my 237 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,600 house. In the last cellar. 238 00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:35,100 And so here, only television on the radio, that there's a bad 239 00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,900 storm coming, they've cited the Twister on the ground out, 240 00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:41,900 Southwest of Ardmore, Oklahoma, where I live. 241 00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:44,300 And so I said, we better get in the cellar. 242 00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:47,600 And so, I step outside, and I take that first step. 243 00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:51,400 I'll say why we're safe now. Am I safe new? 244 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,200 So, I take that second step now, say, Farva. 245 00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:58,500 I've taken two steps. No, no, there has to be another 246 00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:00,500 step. So I take that third step. 247 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,800 I'm safe. No, no. 248 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,900 You get blown away by their, there will be a thing left 249 00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:09,300 standing of you if you stay there. 250 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,500 So, I take that fourth, step through that door down. 251 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,000 Now, I'm safe because I'm in the Sabbath. 252 00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:18,500 Well, I saw the way it is with getting into Christ. 253 00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:22,900 We Believe unto righteousness, we repent unto life, we can fast 254 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,100 unto or toward salvation, but then when were baptized for the 255 00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:32,700 remission of sins, in the name of Jesus Christ, Then we get 256 00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:36,400 into Christ where their safety. We read over there then in 257 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,200 Romans 8 and one, where the Apostle Paul says there is 258 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,800 therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. 259 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,800 Who walk not after the flesh. But after the spirit I read also 260 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,300 there and second Peter 2 and 2. Where Peter says, as newborn 261 00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:56,900 babes desire, the sincere milk of the word that you may grow. 262 00:16:56,900 --> 00:17:00,500 Thereby, now I'm a new creature in Christ and Paul. 263 00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:03,500 I said, If any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. 264 00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:07,400 Well, after conversion. Of course, you have to be 265 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,800 faithful because in Revelation 2 and 10. 266 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,300 He said be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a 267 00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:16,400 Crown of Life. Peter was told by the Lord, 268 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,400 Jesus Christ. After his denial, when thou art 269 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,500 converted strengthen, the Brethren that ought to be our 270 00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:26,200 goal. When we get converted, were to 271 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,300 strengthen each other. Strengthen the Brethren. 272 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,100 Yes, we ought to be New creatures in Christ but then we 273 00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:36,400 ought to be Saints living. Holy lives. 274 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,300 Incidentally, did you know that members of the body of Christ? 275 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,300 Members of the church are called upon to be Saints. 276 00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:49,300 Peter said, what manner of persons ought you to be in all, 277 00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:53,900 holy conversation and godliness? While we are to be living, holy 278 00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:58,300 lives, we ought to be Godly. The world seems to think of a 279 00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:03,200 person today. Who is a saint as someone who's 280 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,000 been dead, hundreds of years and he's quote canonized. 281 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:15,900 And that means that someone who has been designated as a saint 282 00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,300 by somebody over there in Rome, Italy. 283 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,800 But I submit that's not the Bible concept of the word. 284 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,800 Saint Noah saying is simply one who has been set apart to do, 285 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,300 God's Will, and that's what sanctification means. 286 00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:35,700 To be set apart to do. God's will Pia Paul addressed 287 00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:40,000 his letter in First Corinthians 1 and 2 to the Church of God 288 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,700 which is at Corinth to them that are Sanctified in Christ. 289 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:48,900 Jesus, Listen. Now, call to be Saints. 290 00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:51,700 So we're not just candidates for sainthood. 291 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,400 We are Saints by virtue of the fact that we're in the body of 292 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,800 Christ. What manner of persons ought you 293 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,700 to be well, to be safe? That is people who are set apart 294 00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:07,500 Sanctified using our bodies, our money, our talents, our efforts 295 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,000 for the kingdom of God. Now, the Apostle Paul said in 296 00:19:11,008 --> 00:19:14,800 First Corinthians 6 and verse 9 know, ye not that the 297 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,200 unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 298 00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:23,600 Well, a lot of people don't know that today, that the unrighteous 299 00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:27,300 shall not inherit the kingdom of God and that he goes, further be 300 00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:32,000 not deceived neither. Fornicators nor idolaters nor 301 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,000 adulterers nor effeminate nor abusers of themselves with 302 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,900 mankind, nor thieves nor Covetous nor drunkards, nor 303 00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:43,300 revilers nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. 304 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,800 Well, what happens to people who have committed these sins? 305 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,500 Listen now, carefully such Who were some of you? 306 00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:55,000 Such were some of you, but your Sanctified, your justify, your 307 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,500 washed, your Sanctified justified in the name of the 308 00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:01,100 Lord Jesus. And by the spirit of our God, in 309 00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:04,600 other words, they had been saved through their obedience to the 310 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,200 gospel and they've been changed and now they're no longer these 311 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,100 kinds of people. They're forgiven. 312 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,800 Yes, we ought to be people who shun The Works of the flesh. 313 00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:19,200 Paul get specific about what the works of the flesh are listen. 314 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,800 Now the works of the flesh are manifest made plain. 315 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,400 In other words, which are these adultery fornication, 316 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,800 uncleanness lasciviousness idolatry, witchcraft hatred 317 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,700 variance, emulations wrath Strife, heresies envyings 318 00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:38,300 murders, drunkenness revellings and such like Paul did name all 319 00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:41,800 the sins, but he said anything like that at the, which I tell 320 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,500 you before. As I've told you in time past 321 00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:48,600 that they, which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of 322 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,900 God. That's in Galatians 5:19 through 323 00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:54,500 21. Now if you want to be the kind 324 00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:58,300 of a person who would please God at the coming of our Lord, Jesus 325 00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:03,400 Christ, the Bible calls upon you to come out from the world and 326 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,700 be separate over in 2nd Corinthians 6 and verse 17. 327 00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,000 He said wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, 328 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,500 saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing, and I will 329 00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:16,500 receive you and I'll be a father to you. 330 00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:19,600 You will be my sons and daughters saith the almighty and 331 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,400 then in the Acts chapter 7 and 1. 332 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,200 He said having therefore these promises dearly beloved let us 333 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,000 cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the Flesh and of 334 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,200 the spirit perfecting Holiness in the fear of God. 335 00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:38,300 Well, it's clear that while we must live in this world where 336 00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:42,600 not to be of the world, see there's a difference in being in 337 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,600 the world and of the world. We ought to live holy lives 338 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,100 which is what a saint is a Christian who lives. 339 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,600 Is a holy life. I visited a congregation in 340 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,400 South Carolina. A few years ago, there was a 341 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,200 brother there in this congregation who had, if I'm not 342 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,900 mistaken, 18 children and all of them were members of the church 343 00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:10,000 and he got up and spoke that night. 344 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,200 And he said, he said, you know, brethren we're all going to see 345 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,100 the Lord when he comes, but he said, unless you live a holy 346 00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:24,700 life, You're not going to see God because over here in Hebrews 347 00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:29,300 the 12th chapter and verse 14, the Bible says follow peace with 348 00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:35,600 all men and Holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. 349 00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:39,300 Revelation 1 says that when Jesus comes every eye shall see 350 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:44,700 him but you won't see God if you don't live a holy life. 351 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,100 But then we also ought to be workers in the vineyard of the 352 00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:52,500 Lord. Jesus told a parable in the 353 00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:56,200 twentieth chapter of Matthew and verse 14, the Kingdom of Heaven 354 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,500 is likened to a man that is an householder which went out early 355 00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:04,200 in the morning to hire labourers into his Vineyard. 356 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,100 Now the steward. Well, evidently the householder 357 00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:12,800 went out. About 6:00 in the morning and 358 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,200 began to hire laborers in his Vineyard. 359 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,900 And in this Vineyard which was a plantation of vines that was 360 00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:25,600 hedged in by walls and ditches and cleared of stones and 361 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:32,700 cultivated they had grapevines and so needing more help. 362 00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:38,400 He went back at 9:00, he went back at 12:00 at noon. 363 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000 He went back at 3:00, still trying to hire labor, into his 364 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,500 Vineyard and finally, at 5:00 in the afternoon, when Son was way 365 00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:52,200 over Yonder in the western Horizon, the eleventh hour. 366 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,000 He was trying to hire labourers into his Vineyard and in this 367 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,400 Parable, all who had worked receive the same reward at the 368 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,200 end of the day. Jesus said that's the way the 369 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,100 Kingdom of Heaven is that's the way the church is. 370 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,900 God wants laborers in his Vineyard. 371 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,400 He has no need for idlers or loafers and if you want God the 372 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,800 householder to reward you. Then you must enter his Vineyard 373 00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:24,500 and then you have to work till set of sun that is until your 374 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:26,500 life is over. And, you know, here's the 375 00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:29,100 beautiful part to me this is beautiful part. 376 00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:35,600 If you hear that call at the 11th Hour, That is the sunset of 377 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,700 life. Even if life for you upon this, 378 00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:41,700 Earth is almost over. God called you to work in his 379 00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:43,800 Vineyard and fuel. Enter and work. 380 00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:48,000 Then you'll receive the same reward as the others, which is 381 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,500 eternal life. Isn't that beautiful? 382 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,300 You know, I'm thankful that I can preach a gospel like that, 383 00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:58,200 some years ago, I was preaching on television and a lady called 384 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,200 me and said, I wish you would visit my mother who is in a 385 00:25:02,208 --> 00:25:06,100 nursing home. She said, she likes to hear you 386 00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:09,300 preach, and I think it would do her so much good if you would go 387 00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:12,600 see her. So I went over to see her. 388 00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:16,300 She was sitting out on the porch, in a rocking chair. 389 00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:19,800 She looked beautiful like a beautiful picture of a Godly 390 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,500 lady. And so I began to talk to her 391 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,800 about the gospel about the church about Old Time, Gospel, 392 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,900 preachers and meetings. Finally this lady spoke up. 393 00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:31,800 She said, brother Elmore, I'm going to be fair with you. 394 00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:35,400 She said, I've never been baptized. 395 00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:40,800 I said, oh my I said, well, you need to do that because she was 396 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:46,100 up in her in her 80s and she said, well I want to, but she 397 00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:51,100 said, I've had a had a heart attack and she said that has 398 00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:53,900 prevented it and I said, oh well we need to take care of that. 399 00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:56,800 She said we'll just as soon as I'm able, I want to do that. 400 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,900 And I said, well now listen as soon as you are able, you give 401 00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:04,000 me a call. And we'll take care of that. 402 00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:07,500 And I figured, you know, probably that would be the end 403 00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:10,400 of it because I thought well probably she will never call me 404 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,600 again. One day, not long, after that, 405 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,900 the telephone rang and her daughter said, could you baptize 406 00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:19,600 my mother? Well, I took that dear old soul 407 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:26,000 into the baptistry and baptized into Christ and she was so happy 408 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,300 that she could obey the gospel. And of course, within a very 409 00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:34,400 short time, she was called upon to test the stern realities of 410 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,600 Eternity, T but I'm thankful that I can preach a gospel that 411 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,200 offers hope and Jesus gospel does offer hope. 412 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,300 Now I want to say one little thing right here. 413 00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:48,200 I don't have any evidence that these people rejected that call 414 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,600 time and time again, and then at the 11th Hour, they came to 415 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,900 Jesus but I would do that. I would obey the gospel. 416 00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:02,800 If I were in the 11th Hour of my life here upon this Earth. 417 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,000 Are you working for the Lord? Are you zealous of good works as 418 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,000 commanded and Titus? 2:14 are you ready unto every 419 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,100 good work? Tightest three in one. 420 00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:17,300 Are you full of good works? Acts 9 + 36? 421 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,600 Are you careful to maintain? Good? 422 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,200 Works Titus. 3 & 8. Are you fruitful in every good 423 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,000 work? Colossians 1 and 10? 424 00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:30,800 Are you a pattern of Good Works? Titus 2 & 7, do men, see your 425 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,400 faith by your Works? James, 218 do men, see your good 426 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,300 works. And glorify your father, which 427 00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:40,800 is in heaven. Matthew 5:14, let's get a little 428 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,700 more specific. Do you? 429 00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:45,800 Visit the fatherless and the widows and They're flexion James 430 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,800 1:27. Sometimes people say, oh I can't 431 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,200 stand nursing homes. I can't stay in the hospitals. 432 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,900 Well, I don't imagine the people who are there, like it either, 433 00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:01,000 but the Bible says we're to visit. 434 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,700 Do you feed the hungry? Give drink to the Thirsty. 435 00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:06,000 Take in strangers. Clothe the naked. 436 00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:09,000 Visit those who are sick and in prison probably for 437 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,000 righteousness sake as Jesus commands, Matthew 25 35 and 36. 438 00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:17,200 Do you give attendance to reading God's word? 439 00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:22,900 I've often felt that if a person will will come to every church 440 00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:27,800 service every gospel meeting, read the Bible every day, and 441 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:33,400 pray every day. You know, there's not much else 442 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,900 that needs to be done for him because he'll learn what it is 443 00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:40,000 to be a Christian. But if you don't do that, I 444 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,600 don't know that there's anything that can be done for you. 445 00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:47,900 Now, do you study to show yourself approved unto God Titus 446 00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:52,300 a second Timothy 2:15? Do you desire the sincere milk 447 00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:54,800 of the word? Second Peter 2 and to do you 448 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,600 attend the services of the church? 449 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,700 Hebrews 10:25. Do you break bread on the first 450 00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:04,500 day of the week Acts, 20 and 7. Do you pray without ceasing 451 00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:08,900 first Thessalonians 5:17 You know, we ought to be workers in 452 00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:11,800 the vineyard of the Lord because the Bible teaches that at the 453 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,900 final day, we're going to be judged out of the books of God 454 00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:20,800 according to our works. That's in Revelation, 20 and 455 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:26,700 verses 12 and 13. Then we ought to be expectantly 456 00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:31,600 looking for Christ's return. In this passage that we read a 457 00:29:31,608 --> 00:29:34,800 few minutes ago, he says, what manner of persons ought you to 458 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,300 be. Peter says we are to be looking 459 00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:41,900 for and Hasting unto the coming of the day of God that's in 460 00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:45,100 second. Peter 3 verses 11 and 12. 461 00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:51,700 Now, the dictionary defines look for as to search for, to expect. 462 00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:57,700 So are you expecting Christ? We may know about him, but are 463 00:29:57,700 --> 00:30:02,000 you expecting him? The Will says in Hebrews 9:28. 464 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000 So Christ was once offered to Bear the sins of many and unto 465 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,100 them that look for him. Shall he appear the second time 466 00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:13,500 without sin unto salvation? Are we looking for Jesus? 467 00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:17,500 That is expecting him. We may know all about the second 468 00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:20,600 coming of Christ. We may be familiar with the 469 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,500 prophecies about he's coming. But are we looking for him? 470 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,400 Are we expecting Jesus with? Eager anticipation? 471 00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:33,100 Could we say with Possible poll that we love his appearing. 472 00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:37,500 Second, Timothy 4, and 8 and over there in the last chapter. 473 00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:41,300 The last book, almost the last verse of the Bible. 474 00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:46,300 We hear the Apostle, John's say, even so come Lord Jesus. 475 00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:50,600 What manner of persons ought? We to be, we ought to be 476 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,700 expectant. We ought to be living as, 477 00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:55,600 though, Jesus could come at any moment for truly. 478 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,100 He could. Lastly tonight, I want to say, 479 00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:02,000 we are I ought to be prepared for death. 480 00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:05,700 We ought to be living as though this were the last day of life 481 00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:10,300 because it truly maybe the Bible constantly reminds us of the 482 00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:15,600 brevity of Life. Psalm 103 and 15 says as for man 483 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,300 his days are as grass as the flower of the field so he 484 00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:24,700 flourish it for the wind passeth over it and it is gone and the 485 00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:27,200 place thereof shall know. It no more. 486 00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:32,000 Then Job 14 and one man. That is born of woman is of few 487 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,900 days and full of trouble. He cometh forth as a flower in 488 00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:39,300 his cut down. He fleeth also as a shadow and 489 00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:44,400 continue with not then there's Peter who said all flesh is as 490 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:49,700 grass in the flower of man, and the glory of, man, as the flower 491 00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:52,800 of the grass, and the grass withereth, and the flower 492 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,400 thereof falleth away, but the word of the Lord, endureth 493 00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:01,400 forever, James said, what is your life? 494 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,200 It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time and 495 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,900 then vanisheth away, have you ever gotten up early in the 496 00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:10,500 morning? You see a little fog out on the 497 00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:16,400 Over the Horizon and then soon as the sun comes up that fog 498 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,800 just vanishes James said that's the way you lie for use in 499 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,000 Daily. Observation teaches us that this 500 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,500 is true because death and Decay are written all around us. 501 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,500 Someone said the old will die and the young must die soon very 502 00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:36,000 soon for some who are here this this evening in this service, 503 00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:40,800 this old showed coil mortal coil, must be shuffled off and 504 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,700 the door of death must be entered in five seconds. 505 00:32:44,700 --> 00:32:47,300 After death. My friends it won't matter what 506 00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:50,500 kind of a house you've lived in. What kind of clothes you've 507 00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:52,600 worn? What kind of a car you drove? 508 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,400 What your bank account was what your educational attainments 509 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,000 were? All of that's going to fade into 510 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,600 utter insignificance, and there's going to be only one 511 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,500 thought preeminent in your mind. And that is have I lived in such 512 00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:10,700 a way as to perpetuate myself in the memory of God. 513 00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:13,700 It's appointed unto man once to Die. 514 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,700 The Bible says and after this the Judgment Hebrews 9:27 and oh 515 00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:22,200 you know, we're not going to be judged by what manner of persons 516 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,400 we had planned to be or what kind of persons we would like to 517 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,300 have been. Or what kind of persons, others 518 00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:34,800 thought we were, but what kind of persons we really were? 519 00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:38,900 We thank you for listening to our podcast, put on by the 520 00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:44,600 Church of Christ at 22:15 plans.
