Full meeting tonight. Let's start by singing #10 #10 There is a Savior on high in the glory, A Savior who suffered on Calvary tree. A Savior as willing to save now as ever. His arm is almighty, His love great and free. Oh come now to Jesus, that dear loving Savior.
Receive him this moment, and peace shall be dying.
#10.
There's a first couple verses in first Peter chapter 2. I'd like to first Peter chapter one and verse 24 if tonight. If you don't have a Bible, just listen.
It says, For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, the flower thereof falleth away, but the Word of the Lord endures forever. This is the word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Tonight it's not important what I have to say. It's important what the word of God has to say. Tonight the authority is the word of God. You know, I could have a lot of crazy ideas and you know, they wouldn't be appropriate for what we're going to talk about tonight.
Tonight your eyes should not be on me, but they should be on the Lord Jesus Christ, Him crucified.
Tonight.
There may not be anything that you have not ever heard.
There's a verse that was quoted there when he prayed, and it's a verse that's in the Old Testament.
Not very long into the Bible in this verse, we have this verse and it says, my spirit shall not always strive with man.
You know the Spirit of God.
Is in this room tonight.
And it can take the Word of God and it can apply it to your heart tonight.
But you have to let it root into your heart. I can't do that for you.
The friend who brought you can't do it for you. The person who invited you can't do that for you. Your parents can't do that for you. I can't do that for you. You have to accept the word of God to be true. It says let God be true and every man a liar. Before we go any further, we have to establish the authority. The authority is the word of God.
I want to read.
In John chapter one.
John chapter one. We're not going to turn to a lot of scriptures tonight in John chapter one.
If you don't know your Bible very well, a good place to start reading your Bible would be John chapter one, John chapter one and verse one. It says in the beginning was the Word. That's a name for the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus came into this world. God's Son became a man and he came to this planet earth.
Says in the beginning was the word. He always was a son, as we heard.
He's the Son of God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.
And the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men, and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
And verse.
Seven. The same came for a witness to bear witness of the light that all men through him might believe.
Verse 10 or verse 9, pardon me, That was the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. That is the savior that we have to proclaim tonight.
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew him not. Do you know him tonight as your personal savior?
Maybe you're a child in this room and you've sat through a lot of gospel meetings and you're not saved yet.
Tonight, we can just stop right now. Do you believe that you're a Sinner? Do you believe you've done bad things? Do you believe that you have told a lie? Have you ever told a lie? One lie it says will keep you out of heaven. That's what Revelation says. One lie. I've told a lot of lies.
00:05:19
There's not anyone in this room that could raise their hand and say they've never told a lie, but one lie it says we'll keep you out of heaven.
Have you ever done?
Anything wrong? Yes, you have. What does the Scripture say? What does the word of God say? It says for all have sinned and come short for the glory of God. God has a standard, and His standard is holiness. God cannot have one sin in His presence.
