16:21.280 --> 16:23.280

16:23.280 --> 16:25.280
Go to page number 297.

16:25.280 --> 16:27.280
Page number 297.

16:27.280 --> 16:29.280
Close to the

16:30.280 --> 16:32.280
Page 297

16:32.280 --> 16:39.280
page number 297, close to thee.

16:51.280 --> 16:56.120
Thou my everlasting portion,

16:56.120 --> 17:01.120
more than friend or life to me,

17:01.120 --> 17:05.120
all along my pilgrim's journey,

17:05.120 --> 17:10.120
Savior let me walk with thee,

17:10.120 --> 17:15.120
close to thee, close to thee,

17:15.120 --> 17:20.120
close to thee, close to thee,

17:20.120 --> 17:25.120
all along my pilgrim's journey,

17:25.120 --> 17:30.120
Savior let me walk with thee,

17:30.120 --> 17:35.120
not for ease nor worldly pleasure,

17:35.120 --> 17:40.120
nor for fame my prayer shall be,

17:40.120 --> 17:45.120
gladly will I toil and suffer,

17:45.120 --> 17:49.120
only let me walk with thee,

17:49.120 --> 17:54.120
close to thee, close to thee,

gladly will I toil and suffer,

18:04.120 --> 18:09.120
only let me walk with thee,

18:09.120 --> 18:14.120
lead me through the veil of sorrow,

18:14.120 --> 18:19.120
bear me your life's pitiful sea,

18:19.120 --> 18:24.120
then the gates of life eternal,

18:24.120 --> 18:28.120
may I enter Lord with thee,

18:28.120 --> 18:33.120
close to thee, close to thee,

18:33.120 --> 18:38.120
close to thee, close to thee,

18:38.120 --> 18:43.120
then the gates of life eternal,

18:43.120 --> 18:48.120
may I enter Lord with thee.

18:58.120 --> 19:03.120
Amen.

19:03.120 --> 19:08.120
All right, if you want to turn your

19:08.120 --> 19:13.120
hymns to page number 261.

19:13.120 --> 19:18.120
Page number 261.

19:18.120 --> 19:23.120
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.

19:23.120 --> 19:28.120
No soul are you weary and troubled,

19:28.120 --> 19:33.120
no light in the darkness you see,

19:33.120 --> 19:38.120
there's a light for a look at the Savior,

19:38.120 --> 19:43.120
and life more abundant and free.

19:43.120 --> 19:48.120
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

19:48.120 --> 19:53.120
look full in his wonderful face,

19:53.120 --> 19:58.120
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

19:58.120 --> 20:03.120
in the light of his glory and grace.

20:03.120 --> 20:08.120
Through death and to life everlasting,

20:08.120 --> 20:13.120
he passed and we follow him there,

20:13.120 --> 20:18.120
over us him no more hath dominion,

20:18.120 --> 20:23.120
for more than conquerors we are.

20:23.120 --> 20:28.120
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

20:28.120 --> 20:33.120
look full in his wonderful face,

20:33.120 --> 20:38.120
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

20:38.120 --> 20:43.120
in the light of his glory and grace.

20:43.120 --> 20:48.120
His work shall not fail you, he promised,

20:48.120 --> 20:53.120
believe him and all will be well.

20:53.120 --> 20:58.120
Then go to a world that is dying,

20:58.120 --> 21:03.120
his perfect salvation,

21:03.120 --> 21:08.120
turn your eyes upon Jesus,

21:08.120 --> 21:13.120
look full in his wonderful face,

21:13.120 --> 21:18.120
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

21:18.120 --> 21:23.120
in the light of his glory and grace.

21:23.120 --> 21:28.120
All the world shall be well,

21:28.120 --> 21:33.120
in the light of his glory and grace.

21:33.120 --> 21:38.120
Alright, excellent singing everybody, this time we will have our announcements.

21:49.120 --> 21:54.120
Welcome back everybody, you can go ahead and take your bulletin if you have one,

21:54.120 --> 21:59.120
if you don't have one raise your hand and we will get you one.

21:59.120 --> 22:04.120
The verse of the week is Luke 16 10,

22:04.120 --> 22:09.120
he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much,

22:09.120 --> 22:14.120
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

22:14.120 --> 22:19.120
That is Luke 16 10, if you open up your bulletin,

22:19.120 --> 22:24.120
the rules are the same, service times are below,

22:24.120 --> 22:29.120
and our salvation report, you can add one for today,

22:29.120 --> 22:34.120
we had, I know Brother Jason's group got one,

22:34.120 --> 22:39.120
which would be 26,

22:39.120 --> 22:44.120
26 for March, praise God,

22:44.120 --> 22:49.120
and the salvation total in 2026 would be 47,

22:49.120 --> 22:54.120
I don't have a pen, I would mark it down,

22:54.120 --> 22:59.120
no baptisms, attendances are below, March 8th

22:59.120 --> 23:04.120
through April 1st we have our Bible memory challenge,

23:04.120 --> 23:09.120
and we are memorizing Psalm 23,

23:09.120 --> 23:14.120
and that's a reward for anybody who can memorize that chapter,

23:14.120 --> 23:19.120
which it's only six verses, so you got this.

23:19.120 --> 23:24.120
March 29th is our church anniversary weekend,

23:24.120 --> 23:29.120
Pastor Thompson is coming and preaching both Sunday services,

23:29.120 --> 23:34.120
and there's more details to come, let's see here,

23:34.120 --> 23:39.120
we're going to be doing the Lord's Supper, that's going to be on a Wednesday,

23:39.120 --> 23:44.120
so anybody who normally doesn't come on Wednesdays,

23:44.120 --> 23:49.120
just remember that the Lord's Supper is on April 1st,

23:49.120 --> 23:54.120
so it's coming up, and it's going to be a Wednesday night,

23:54.120 --> 23:59.120
and then if you have any questions, please see Brother Remy.

24:30.120 --> 24:35.120
April 5th is the Easter Sunday,

24:35.120 --> 24:40.120
there's going to be an Easter message that day,

24:40.120 --> 24:45.120
we're going to have the kids choir and potluck after service,

24:45.120 --> 24:50.120
so it's going to be a pretty fun event, so check into that,

24:50.120 --> 24:55.120

24:55.120 --> 25:00.120
April 12th will be a men's preaching night,

25:00.120 --> 25:05.120
and I'm pretty sure everybody who preached last time for the men's preaching night

25:05.120 --> 25:10.120
will be preaching this time, which is pretty cool,

25:10.120 --> 25:15.120
we've got a pretty full, a lot of people it seems are going to do it,

25:15.120 --> 25:20.120

25:21.120 --> 25:26.120

25:31.120 --> 25:36.120
to the Nez Pierce Indian Reservation,

25:36.120 --> 25:41.120
so just see Brother Remy for details for that, and if you need a ride,

25:41.120 --> 25:46.120
or you have any questions about that, I just don't think anybody should miss that one,

25:46.120 --> 25:51.120
that should be a really cool trip,

25:51.120 --> 25:56.120
April 21st is the homeschool day at 11am here at the building,

25:56.120 --> 26:01.120

26:11.120 --> 26:16.120
your kids will receive a candy, and that verse is,

26:16.120 --> 26:21.120

35:36.120 --> 35:41.120

35:39.120 --> 35:44.120
.

35:40.120 --> 35:45.120
.

35:41.120 --> 35:46.120
.

35:44.120 --> 35:49.120
.

35:45.120 --> 35:50.120
.

35:46.120 --> 35:51.120
.

35:49.120 --> 35:54.120
.

35:50.120 --> 35:55.120
.

35:51.120 --> 35:56.120
.

35:54.120 --> 35:59.120
.

35:56.120 --> 36:01.120
.

36:01.120 --> 36:06.120
.

36:04.120 --> 36:09.120
.

36:08.120 --> 36:13.120
.

36:12.120 --> 36:17.120
.

36:17.120 --> 36:22.120
.

36:22.120 --> 36:27.120
.

36:27.120 --> 36:30.600
or upon the uncircumcision also.

36:30.600 --> 36:35.600
For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham

36:35.800 --> 36:37.200
for righteousness.

36:37.200 --> 36:38.840
How was it then reckoned?

36:38.840 --> 36:42.680
When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision.

36:42.680 --> 36:46.540
Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

36:46.540 --> 36:49.320
And he received the sign of circumcision,

36:49.320 --> 36:52.640
a seal of the righteousness of the faith

36:52.640 --> 36:56.080
which he had yet being uncircumcised,

36:56.080 --> 37:00.040
that he might be the father of all them that believe,

37:00.040 --> 37:02.400
though they be not circumcised,

37:02.400 --> 37:07.320
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also.

37:07.320 --> 37:10.000
And the father of circumcision to them

37:10.000 --> 37:12.960
who are not of the circumcision only,

37:12.960 --> 37:16.440
but who also walk in the steps of that faith

37:16.440 --> 37:18.700
of our father Abraham,

37:18.700 --> 37:23.700
which he had being yet uncircumcised.

37:23.980 --> 37:27.460
For the promise that he should be the heir of the world

37:27.460 --> 37:31.060
was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law,

37:31.060 --> 37:33.740
but through the righteousness of faith.

37:33.740 --> 37:37.020
For if they which were of the law be heirs,

37:37.020 --> 37:41.660
faith is made void and the promise made of none effect.

37:41.660 --> 37:43.800
Because the law worketh wrath,

37:43.800 --> 37:47.500
for where no law is, there is no transgression.

37:47.500 --> 37:51.620
Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace.

37:51.620 --> 37:56.580
To the end, the promise might be sure to all the seed,

37:56.580 --> 37:59.620
not to that only which is of the law,

37:59.620 --> 38:03.340
but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham,

38:03.340 --> 38:05.560
who is the father of us all.

38:05.560 --> 38:10.220
As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations

38:10.220 --> 38:14.620
before him whom he believed, even God,

38:14.620 --> 38:17.540
who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things

38:17.540 --> 38:20.060
which be not as though they were,

38:20.060 --> 38:22.700
who against hope believed in hope

38:22.700 --> 38:26.100
that he might become the father of many nations

38:26.100 --> 38:30.660
according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be.

38:31.980 --> 38:33.540
And being not weak in faith,

38:33.540 --> 38:36.780
he considered not his own body now dead

38:36.780 --> 38:39.540
when he was an about in hundred years old,

38:39.540 --> 38:42.180
neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb.

38:42.180 --> 38:46.380
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief,

38:46.380 --> 38:49.400
but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

38:49.400 --> 38:53.560
and being fully persuaded that what he had promised,

38:53.560 --> 38:56.520
he was able also to perform.

38:56.520 --> 39:00.200
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

39:00.200 --> 39:02.980
Now it was not written for his sake alone

39:02.980 --> 39:06.800
that it was imputed to him, but for us also,

39:06.800 --> 39:10.360
to whom it shall be imputed if we believe on him

39:10.360 --> 39:13.600
that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

39:13.600 --> 39:16.840
who was delivered for our offenses

39:16.840 --> 39:20.240
and was raised again for our justification.

39:20.240 --> 39:24.400
Brother Kyle, could you please pray for the service?

39:32.800 --> 39:37.280
Amen, all right, so we're here in Romans chapter number four,

39:37.280 --> 39:39.920
and the title of my sermon this evening

39:39.920 --> 39:43.240
is Salvation in the Old Testament,

39:43.240 --> 39:45.360
and I just wanted to preach a sermon this evening

39:46.240 --> 39:48.400
about what salvation was in the Old Testament,

39:48.400 --> 39:51.080
because there's a lot of people out there that believe,

39:51.080 --> 39:54.400
sit down Abby, that salvation was different

39:54.400 --> 39:56.120
in the Old Testament.

39:57.000 --> 39:59.760
They believe in basically, the biggest group

39:59.760 --> 40:02.300
that would believe in this would be dispensationalism.

40:02.300 --> 40:04.240
They believe that salvation was different,

40:04.240 --> 40:06.740
meaning it was not salvation by grace or faith,

40:06.740 --> 40:09.400
it was salvation by the law in the Old Testament.

40:09.400 --> 40:11.600
And basically, you could say though

40:11.600 --> 40:13.760
that pretty much everybody that believes

40:13.760 --> 40:17.640
in works-based salvation also has a false version

40:17.640 --> 40:19.440
of salvation in the Old Testament as well.

40:19.440 --> 40:23.540
So it's not just limited to dispensationalists,

40:23.540 --> 40:25.640
but it's actually anybody that believes

40:25.640 --> 40:29.040
in works-based salvation has a false gospel.

40:30.000 --> 40:32.560
So, but the Bible here in Romans chapter number four

40:32.560 --> 40:35.560
tells us what salvation was,

40:35.560 --> 40:37.360
how it worked in the Old Testament.

40:37.360 --> 40:38.600
It tells us this very clearly.

40:38.600 --> 40:39.920
And of course, you know, Ryan this morning,

40:39.920 --> 40:42.440
he kinda touched on this subject a little bit.

40:42.440 --> 40:44.080
You know, I was getting kinda nervous,

40:44.080 --> 40:45.640
you know, worried he was gonna expand on it

40:45.640 --> 40:48.000
a little too much and, you know, take all my verses

40:48.000 --> 40:49.040
and all my points and everything,

40:49.040 --> 40:51.720
but I think we'll be just fine.

40:51.720 --> 40:53.320
So, but here in Romans chapter number four,

40:53.320 --> 40:54.160
look at verse number one, it says,

40:54.160 --> 40:56.160
what shall we say then that Abraham our father

40:56.160 --> 40:58.280
has pertained to the flesh outbound?

40:58.280 --> 41:00.480
For if Abraham were justified by works,

41:00.480 --> 41:04.760
he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.

41:04.760 --> 41:06.360
For what sayeth the scriptures,

41:06.360 --> 41:10.440
Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him

41:10.440 --> 41:12.760
for righteousness.

41:12.760 --> 41:16.160
So, you know, this guy Abraham,

41:16.160 --> 41:17.080
when was he alive?

41:17.080 --> 41:18.600
Was he alive in the New Testament

41:18.600 --> 41:21.920
or was this an Old Testament guy?

41:21.920 --> 41:24.580
Obviously, this is an Old Testament saint, right?

41:24.580 --> 41:29.580
Abraham was around a while before the New Testament.

41:29.720 --> 41:32.840
And so the Bible is telling us that Abraham,

41:32.840 --> 41:37.840
basically how Abraham was saved is that he believed God

41:38.000 --> 41:40.320
and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

41:41.160 --> 41:42.280
And notice that the New Testament here

41:42.280 --> 41:46.880
is using Abraham's belief as an example

41:46.880 --> 41:48.600
of how it's supposed to be right now,

41:48.600 --> 41:51.040
of how you are supposed to get saved, right?

41:51.040 --> 41:55.560
This is how the Romans, you know, in AD 45

41:55.560 --> 41:58.360
or whenever the book of Romans was written,

41:58.360 --> 42:02.200
this is God telling us, this is how the Romans

42:02.200 --> 42:04.440
in AD 45 were supposed to get saved.

42:04.440 --> 42:06.840
The same way that Abraham was saved, right?

42:06.840 --> 42:10.280
Because he believed God and it was counted unto him

42:11.320 --> 42:12.160
for righteousness.

42:12.160 --> 42:12.980
And verse number four says,

42:12.980 --> 42:13.820
now to him that worketh is a reward

42:13.820 --> 42:15.680
not reckoned of grace but of death,

42:15.680 --> 42:16.880
but to him that worketh not,

42:16.880 --> 42:19.000
but believeth on him that justifies the ungodly,

42:19.000 --> 42:21.200
his faith is counted for righteousness.

42:21.200 --> 42:23.000
Even as David also described it,

42:23.000 --> 42:24.320
the blessedness of the man unto whom

42:24.320 --> 42:28.680
God imputed righteousness without works, right?

42:28.680 --> 42:31.080
And so, you know, a lot of people will say,

42:31.080 --> 42:34.120
well, you know, Abraham, he technically,

42:34.120 --> 42:36.560
he wasn't technically in the Old Testament

42:36.560 --> 42:40.320
because technically the Old Testament starts

42:40.320 --> 42:42.700
basically when the law is given to Moses,

42:42.700 --> 42:46.640
that's when the Old Testament technically starts, right?

42:46.640 --> 42:47.760
But here's the thing, you know,

42:47.760 --> 42:51.000
even if Abraham technically wasn't in the Old Testament,

42:51.000 --> 42:51.960
what about David?

42:52.880 --> 42:55.560
David was obviously definitely in smack dab

42:55.560 --> 42:56.440
in the middle of the Old Testament

42:56.440 --> 42:58.360
because he was way after Moses,

42:58.360 --> 43:01.360
but he's way before Christ, right?

43:01.360 --> 43:04.840
And so David, you know, he's right in the middle

43:05.200 --> 43:06.960
of technically what even was considered to be

43:06.960 --> 43:09.580
the Old Testament, and guess what?

43:09.580 --> 43:11.520
It's basically saying the same thing.

43:11.520 --> 43:14.080
It's comparing David to Abraham, you know.

43:14.080 --> 43:18.120
You know, David or Abraham was received

43:18.120 --> 43:19.880
this righteousness by faith, you know,

43:19.880 --> 43:21.800
even as Abraham described this blessedness

43:21.800 --> 43:24.840
unto whom God imputed the righteousness without works,

43:24.840 --> 43:27.360
saying blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven

43:27.360 --> 43:28.800
and whose sins are covered.

43:28.800 --> 43:31.960
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin,

43:32.000 --> 43:36.280
cometh this blessedness upon the circumcision only

43:36.280 --> 43:38.920
or upon the uncircumcision also,

43:38.920 --> 43:41.680
for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham

43:41.680 --> 43:43.220
for righteousness.

43:43.220 --> 43:47.000
How was it then reckoned when he was in circumcision

43:47.000 --> 43:48.440
or in uncircumcision?

43:48.440 --> 43:50.400
And notice that, you know, circumcision is one

43:50.400 --> 43:53.540
of the major commandments of the law, right?

43:53.540 --> 43:57.760
Like this isn't like some small little minor detail

43:57.760 --> 43:58.580
of the law.

43:58.580 --> 43:59.920
No, this was one of the big things in the law.

43:59.920 --> 44:01.880
It's like, hey, all the guys have to be circumcised

44:02.800 --> 44:03.640
on the eighth day.

44:03.640 --> 44:05.320
And it's, you know, and it's a big deal.

44:06.280 --> 44:08.760
This is how was this then reckoned then

44:08.760 --> 44:11.800
when he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision,

44:11.800 --> 44:15.640
not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

44:15.640 --> 44:19.400
He that received the sign of circumcision,

44:19.400 --> 44:21.600
a seal of righteousness of faith,

44:21.600 --> 44:24.120
which he had yet being uncircumcised,

44:24.120 --> 44:29.120
that he might be the father of all them that believe,

44:29.420 --> 44:30.920
though they be not circumcised,

44:30.920 --> 44:34.320
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also.

44:34.320 --> 44:37.520
And the father of circumcision to them

44:37.520 --> 44:39.840
who are not of the circumcision only,

44:39.840 --> 44:44.720
but who also walk in the steps of that faith

44:44.720 --> 44:48.840
of our father Abraham, which he had yet being uncircumcised,

44:48.840 --> 44:53.760
for the promise that he should be the heir of the world

44:53.760 --> 44:57.780
was not to Abraham or his seed through the law,

44:57.780 --> 45:00.000
but through the righteousness of faith.

45:00.040 --> 45:02.080
And so, you know, these last few verses here,

45:02.080 --> 45:04.200
specifically saying, hey, look, guess what?

45:04.200 --> 45:06.240
There's people that were not circumcised

45:06.240 --> 45:09.460
in the Old Testament that got saved.

45:09.460 --> 45:13.000
So how could you have salvation by the law

45:13.000 --> 45:13.960
in the Old Testament?

45:13.960 --> 45:17.180
Now, let's just, I'm just gonna explain kind of like,

45:18.240 --> 45:21.680
go ahead and turn to Hebrews chapter number 10 real quick.

45:21.680 --> 45:23.640
Basically, where this is coming from,

45:23.640 --> 45:26.680
at least where I think this is coming from,

45:26.680 --> 45:28.980
and you could kind of understand, you know,

45:28.980 --> 45:30.980
where kind of some of this confusion's come from.

45:30.980 --> 45:34.580
If somebody could just kind of read the Bible themselves

45:34.580 --> 45:36.760
and they weren't saved and they were just reading

45:36.760 --> 45:39.820
through the Old Testament, you know,

45:39.820 --> 45:42.220
they're reading through some of these sacrifices.

45:42.220 --> 45:44.540
And there's a lot of sacrifices that are basically,

45:44.540 --> 45:47.980
they're titled, you know, the sin offering, right?

45:47.980 --> 45:50.760
And basically, there's the yearly offering

45:50.760 --> 45:53.780
for the whole nation that's supposed to be sacrificed.

45:53.780 --> 45:56.280
And they look at these and they look at the language

45:56.280 --> 45:59.360
and they say, well, this is a sin offering,

45:59.360 --> 46:02.400
so therefore, you know, this sacrifice

46:02.400 --> 46:04.060
must be paying for sin.

46:04.060 --> 46:08.020
Like, this must be how they were getting spiritually saved

46:08.020 --> 46:09.780
in the Old Testament because, you know,

46:09.780 --> 46:11.680
because this specific sacrifice

46:11.680 --> 46:15.060
and this specific offering is called a sin offering.

46:15.060 --> 46:18.800
So therefore, that's how their sins were being paid for

46:18.800 --> 46:20.600
in the Old Testament.

46:20.600 --> 46:24.240
But, you know, obviously there's a major,

46:24.240 --> 46:27.240
there's a massive problem with that, right?

46:27.240 --> 46:30.060
And it's the fact that in Hebrews, chapter number 10,

46:30.060 --> 46:31.300
and, you know, even if we didn't have

46:31.300 --> 46:33.300
Hebrews, chapter number 10, there's just a huge mountain

46:33.300 --> 46:35.920
of scriptures that would refute that idea.

46:35.920 --> 46:37.320
It says in Hebrews, chapter number 10,

46:37.320 --> 46:38.160
look at verse number four, it says,

46:38.160 --> 46:41.920
for it is not possible that the blood of Boles

46:41.920 --> 46:45.180
and of Goach should take away sin.

46:45.180 --> 46:47.560
So the Bible is telling us, right,

46:47.560 --> 46:52.560
that sin was never taken away by any sin offering.

46:54.680 --> 46:57.840
So, you know, why is it that they called it a sin offering

46:57.840 --> 46:59.880
and what was the purpose, you know,

46:59.880 --> 47:01.200
of all these different offerings,

47:01.200 --> 47:03.040
of keeping the law in the Old Testament?

47:03.040 --> 47:07.520
Well, it's simply to be a picture of Jesus Christ, right?

47:07.520 --> 47:11.920
So because God wants people to know, right,

47:11.920 --> 47:15.160
that he is gonna pay for their sins, right?

47:15.160 --> 47:17.520
That he wants them to know that God is paying for it

47:17.520 --> 47:21.560
so he can offer salvation to them for free

47:21.560 --> 47:23.160
by just believing in him, right?

47:23.160 --> 47:24.640
So what does he do?

47:24.640 --> 47:29.480
So he has, when people sin, right,

47:29.480 --> 47:33.920
he wants them to go and make a sacrifice

47:33.920 --> 47:37.540
that will picture how he is gonna pay for the sin, right?

47:37.540 --> 47:38.880
So that's why he requires it

47:38.880 --> 47:41.360
and that's why he calls it a sin offering

47:41.360 --> 47:46.360
because basically our sin has required a payment

47:46.360 --> 47:51.280
for that sin and so he's had, has a substitutionary sacrifice

47:51.280 --> 47:53.760
in Jesus Christ to pay for our sins

47:53.760 --> 47:55.880
but in the Old Testament before that happened,

47:55.880 --> 47:57.800
God wants to let everyone know,

47:57.800 --> 48:02.380
hey, there's gonna be a substitutionary sacrifice.

48:02.380 --> 48:04.200
So, you know, this is obviously

48:04.200 --> 48:06.680
why he's having people sacrifice.

48:06.680 --> 48:09.440
It's not that the one they sacrificed a heifer

48:09.440 --> 48:11.120
or when they sacrificed a bull or a cow

48:11.120 --> 48:12.400
or whatever in the Old Testament,

48:12.400 --> 48:16.500
it's not that that bull actually paid for anybody's sin

48:16.500 --> 48:18.080
and made it so that they weren't,

48:18.080 --> 48:20.440
but basically God's, you know,

48:20.440 --> 48:24.720
if they did not offer the sacrifice,

48:24.720 --> 48:26.880
what would happen is his wrath would come upon them

48:26.880 --> 48:28.380
on this earth, amen?

48:28.380 --> 48:30.300
But what is that picture?

48:30.300 --> 48:32.900
That pictures God's eternal wrath

48:32.900 --> 48:34.100
and punishing somebody in hell.

48:34.100 --> 48:36.160
It's not actually them getting punished in hell

48:36.160 --> 48:39.540
if they refuse to do the sacrifice, right?

48:39.540 --> 48:41.600
But it's a picture of that, right?

48:41.600 --> 48:44.940
And so he wants a picture of them sacrificing,

48:44.940 --> 48:47.760
a substitutionary sacrifice and then God having mercy

48:48.320 --> 48:49.960
because isn't that how salvation works?

48:49.960 --> 48:53.920
Isn't it salvation where basically, you know, we've sinned

48:53.920 --> 48:56.560
and so we need to have our sin paid for

48:56.560 --> 48:58.660
and then we have a substitutionary sacrifice

48:58.660 --> 49:01.400
that comes in Jesus Christ

49:01.400 --> 49:04.240
and then we basically, we offer that,

49:04.240 --> 49:06.720
we're like, hey, this is our offering, we believe in this,

49:06.720 --> 49:09.560
we accept the offering that Jesus made for us

49:09.560 --> 49:11.520
and then God has mercy on us?

49:11.520 --> 49:14.520
So in the Old Testament, God had a system set up

49:14.520 --> 49:17.760
where basically people would sin

49:17.760 --> 49:20.980
and then they would get a substitutionary sacrifice

49:20.980 --> 49:24.040
called the sin offering and then after they did that,

49:24.040 --> 49:26.520
God would have physical mercy on them, right?

49:26.520 --> 49:28.600
God is not having spiritual mercy,

49:28.600 --> 49:32.760
he's not like that bull or that goat or whatever it was,

49:32.760 --> 49:35.880
didn't actually wash away their sin from their account,

49:35.880 --> 49:37.880
right, only the blood of Jesus Christ did,

49:37.880 --> 49:41.240
but what is it, it's a picture of that, amen?

49:41.240 --> 49:46.240
So when God has, basically like if an individual

49:47.160 --> 49:49.100
commits a grievous sin,

49:49.100 --> 49:51.740
then they bring a sin offering before the Lord,

49:51.740 --> 49:53.560
God was gonna come down hard on them,

49:53.560 --> 49:55.480
he was gonna destroy their life,

49:55.480 --> 49:57.640
he was gonna make their crops,

49:57.640 --> 50:01.280
de-destroy, whatever curse God was gonna put on them,

50:01.280 --> 50:04.600
they do the sacrifice, God no longer does that,

50:04.600 --> 50:06.800
he has mercy on that individual,

50:06.800 --> 50:09.880
that pictures spiritual salvation.

50:09.880 --> 50:13.900
But here's the thing, it's not actually salvation, why?

50:13.900 --> 50:18.640
Because if the sacrifice of the blood of bulls and of goats

50:18.640 --> 50:20.440
were actually washing away people's sin,

50:20.440 --> 50:22.500
that would be salvation by the law.

50:23.720 --> 50:26.080
Now what does the Bible say?

50:26.080 --> 50:30.720
The Bible says in Galatians two, it says if salvation,

50:30.720 --> 50:32.840
if righteousness came by the law,

50:32.840 --> 50:34.420
then Christ is dead in vain.

50:35.140 --> 50:40.140
And so nobody has ever been saved by a single burnt offering

50:40.820 --> 50:45.820
or by keeping of any of the Old Testament laws at all, why?

50:46.220 --> 50:47.900
Because then that means that Jesus Christ's death,

50:47.900 --> 50:49.340
burial, and resurrection was completely vain,

50:49.340 --> 50:51.440
meaning it was meaningless, right?

50:51.440 --> 50:55.800
And what's so wicked about this dispensationalism

50:55.800 --> 50:57.940
is they're saying that people in the Old Testament

50:57.940 --> 51:00.780
were getting saved without the death,

51:00.780 --> 51:02.700
burial, and resurrection at all,

51:02.700 --> 51:05.660
without the substitutionary death of Christ,

51:05.660 --> 51:07.780
without his resurrection.

51:07.780 --> 51:10.260
By the way, did any of those bulls resurrect?

51:12.780 --> 51:13.980
No?

51:13.980 --> 51:17.340
So basically there's people in the Old Testament

51:17.340 --> 51:20.220
that are getting saved literally without the resurrection

51:20.220 --> 51:23.020
according to their doctrine, which it's like,

51:23.020 --> 51:25.340
how is anybody getting saved without the resurrection?

51:25.340 --> 51:28.340
It's blasphemy is what it is.

51:30.300 --> 51:31.640
So they're saying, well, you know,

51:31.640 --> 51:33.200
there's a certain percentage of people

51:33.200 --> 51:34.760
that are saved in the Old Testament,

51:34.760 --> 51:37.560
they're going to heaven when they die, let's say it's 2%.

51:37.560 --> 51:41.920
So okay, why is it then Jesus, why did Jesus come then?

51:41.920 --> 51:43.440
If people were in the Old Testament,

51:43.440 --> 51:46.080
were getting saved by the law,

51:46.080 --> 51:49.000
by doing the sacrifices and trying not to sin,

51:49.000 --> 51:52.160
or however they think that even works,

51:52.160 --> 51:55.080
I mean, how many sacrifices could they miss

51:55.080 --> 51:57.360
before it's over?

51:57.360 --> 51:59.860
It's kind of like the repent of your sins doctrine

51:59.860 --> 52:01.180
where you never know, like, okay,

52:01.180 --> 52:03.060
which sins I have to repent of,

52:03.060 --> 52:04.900
how often do I have to repent of them?

52:07.500 --> 52:09.900
When do I know I've done enough repenting?

52:09.900 --> 52:12.980
And it's really confusing, like you could just never know.

52:12.980 --> 52:15.180
That'd be this, it's like the same version of that

52:15.180 --> 52:16.820
just in the Old Testament where it's like,

52:16.820 --> 52:20.140
okay, well, how many sacrifices do I have to do?

52:20.140 --> 52:21.620
And what happens if I miss one?

52:21.620 --> 52:23.540
Or what if I miss two in a row?

52:23.540 --> 52:25.540
What if I miss two in a row, then I hit two in a row,

52:25.540 --> 52:26.380
then I miss another?

52:26.380 --> 52:27.500
Well, like, what happens?

52:28.460 --> 52:30.020
It's confusion, my friend.

52:30.020 --> 52:31.980
It doesn't make any sense.

52:31.980 --> 52:33.820
I mean, how could anybody know they were saved

52:33.820 --> 52:34.820
in the Old Testament?

52:36.180 --> 52:38.980
And I was going somewhere with that.

52:38.980 --> 52:39.900
Where was I going with that?

52:39.900 --> 52:41.900
Does anybody know where, where am I?

52:43.060 --> 52:45.100
I'm at Shura Foundation Baptist Church.

52:45.100 --> 52:50.100
It's April the 22nd at 4.07 in the afternoon.

52:51.660 --> 52:55.020
Okay, I don't even know where I was going with that.

52:55.020 --> 52:57.420
But basically, so they're saying that,

52:58.300 --> 52:59.140
I don't even know what month it is.

52:59.140 --> 53:01.420
The Old Testament sacrifice is a trust

53:01.420 --> 53:04.020
that might be refuted.

53:04.020 --> 53:06.180
Yeah, but I had some greater point to that.

53:06.180 --> 53:07.020
I don't even know.

53:07.020 --> 53:09.300
But basically, what they're saying is that

53:09.300 --> 53:10.900
there's like a certain amount of people

53:10.900 --> 53:14.620
in the Old Testament that are actually saved by the law.

53:14.620 --> 53:17.620
Okay, then what is the point of Jesus Christ dying?

53:18.820 --> 53:20.380
Because there's all this righteousness

53:20.380 --> 53:23.260
that's happening by the law, right, in the Old Testament.

53:23.260 --> 53:24.580
The people are getting righteous

53:24.580 --> 53:26.660
and they're receiving righteousness by the law

53:26.660 --> 53:28.100
and they're getting saved and they're going to heaven

53:28.100 --> 53:31.020
when they die because they kept the law or whatever.

53:31.020 --> 53:31.980
Why did Jesus come then?

53:31.980 --> 53:33.020
What was the point?

53:33.940 --> 53:35.260
What was the point of him coming?

53:35.260 --> 53:37.500
Was it just to, well, they might say,

53:37.500 --> 53:39.060
well, you see, in the Old Testament,

53:39.060 --> 53:42.380
it was only a 2% rate of salvation.

53:42.380 --> 53:43.620
But now in the New Testament,

53:43.620 --> 53:46.220
it's about a 5% rate of salvation.

53:46.220 --> 53:50.100
So we have an increase of 3% rate of returns,

53:50.100 --> 53:52.540
which if you compare that to the S&P 500

53:52.540 --> 53:54.460
over a 60 year, you know, all this,

53:54.460 --> 53:56.500
like what are you talking about?

53:57.100 --> 53:58.860
Why is it that Jesus Christ died?

53:58.860 --> 54:00.260
I mean, if people could just get them

54:00.260 --> 54:04.060
that righteous by themselves, just do enough sacrifices,

54:04.060 --> 54:06.380
you know, do enough Hail Marys or whatever,

54:07.220 --> 54:09.740
and they're getting themselves saved by keeping the law,

54:09.740 --> 54:11.900
why did Jesus Christ die?

54:11.900 --> 54:13.540
What was the purpose of it?

54:13.540 --> 54:16.820
Because I mean, Jesus, you do realize,

54:16.820 --> 54:20.140
you know, he went through a lot of pain and suffering.

54:20.140 --> 54:21.620
I mean, according to the Bible,

54:21.620 --> 54:23.660
his soul was not left in hell,

54:23.660 --> 54:26.940
which means that his soul was in hell for three days

54:26.940 --> 54:30.780
and for three nights and for what purpose?

54:30.780 --> 54:32.260
And according to the Bible,

54:32.260 --> 54:35.300
it's because he had to pay for all of our sins

54:35.300 --> 54:37.140
by doing that, right?

54:37.140 --> 54:41.540
And, you know, it's like, you can't get around the fact

54:41.540 --> 54:43.700
that if righteousness came by the law,

54:43.700 --> 54:45.100
then Christ didn't.

54:45.100 --> 54:47.740
I mean, we could just literally pack up our Bibles

54:47.740 --> 54:49.420
and we could all just go home right now

54:49.420 --> 54:51.100
and just realize that, yeah,

54:51.100 --> 54:53.260
salvation has always been the same.

54:54.260 --> 54:56.620
And dispensationalism is completely false.

54:56.620 --> 54:58.380
But go ahead and turn to Galatians chapter number one,

54:58.380 --> 55:00.540
Galatians chapter number one.

55:06.180 --> 55:08.860
But, you know, there's a lot of different reasons

55:08.860 --> 55:11.220
why salvation has always been the same.

55:12.060 --> 55:13.900
You know, it hasn't been different.

55:13.900 --> 55:16.700
You know, there isn't these different dispensations

55:16.700 --> 55:18.860
of salvation or whatever.

55:18.860 --> 55:20.380
You know, there isn't all these different,

55:20.380 --> 55:22.900
you know, seven dispensations.

55:22.900 --> 55:25.380
First of all, you know, if you wanna believe it,

55:25.380 --> 55:27.260
because they're like, oh, well, we live in the dispensation

55:27.260 --> 55:29.900
of grace, you know, right now.

55:29.900 --> 55:31.380
You know, and hey, I agree.

55:31.380 --> 55:34.580
I agree we're living in the dispensation of grace right now.

55:34.580 --> 55:37.820
And you know when the dispensation of grace started?

55:38.760 --> 55:42.380
It started when Jesus Christ gave Adam and Eve

55:42.380 --> 55:44.660
the skin clothes to cover themselves,

55:44.660 --> 55:46.860
representing the grace of Jesus Christ

55:46.860 --> 55:48.740
and the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

55:48.740 --> 55:51.820
So I believe in two different dispensations, right?

55:51.860 --> 55:53.100
What are my dispensations?

55:53.100 --> 55:55.860
What are the dispensations of Jason Graber?

55:55.860 --> 55:58.460
The dispensations, this is the Jason Graber

55:58.460 --> 56:00.780
dispensation doctrine, okay?

56:00.780 --> 56:02.540
There's two dispensations, right?

56:02.540 --> 56:06.540
You got the dispensation of sinless perfection, right?

56:06.540 --> 56:07.360
When was that?

56:07.360 --> 56:11.060
Well, that was before Eve ate the first man

56:11.060 --> 56:12.460
out of house and home, amen?

56:13.820 --> 56:16.260
So it was before Adam and Eve sinned, right?

56:16.260 --> 56:18.100
Because when God created them, you know,

56:18.100 --> 56:20.020
he created them perfect.

56:20.020 --> 56:22.940
And God looked at his creation and said it was good, right?

56:22.940 --> 56:24.660
So everything was good, everything was perfect.

56:24.660 --> 56:26.620
So I would say, you know, that's your doctrine

56:26.620 --> 56:28.540
of sinless perfection right there, right?

56:28.540 --> 56:32.420
There's the age or the dispensation of sinless perfection.

56:32.420 --> 56:34.440
And then Adam and Eve sinned,

56:34.440 --> 56:37.540
and the age of sinless perfection is over.

56:37.540 --> 56:39.740
So all these sinless perfection people that claiming

56:39.740 --> 56:41.980
that they've never sinned before after they got saved

56:41.980 --> 56:44.020
are a bunch of liars, right, amen?

56:44.020 --> 56:46.740
And then you have the dispensation of grace

56:46.740 --> 56:48.400
starting right after that,

56:48.480 --> 56:50.160
because that's the only way Adam and Eve

56:50.160 --> 56:51.640
were ever getting saved.

56:51.640 --> 56:52.480
And guess what?

56:52.480 --> 56:54.480
That was the only way that Noah was getting saved.

56:54.480 --> 56:56.600
That was the only way that Abraham was getting saved.

56:56.600 --> 56:57.880
Isaac was getting saved.

56:57.880 --> 56:59.200
Jacob was getting saved.

56:59.200 --> 57:00.720
Any of his descendants getting saved,

57:00.720 --> 57:05.200
including David, Solomon, Samuel, you know, Hezekiah,

57:05.200 --> 57:07.080
anybody in the Old Testament,

57:07.080 --> 57:11.040
that's the only way they were getting saved was by grace.

57:11.040 --> 57:13.640
So I believe in the dispensation of grace.

57:13.640 --> 57:16.160
I just believe in the correct dispensation of grace

57:16.160 --> 57:17.640
where it's really long,

57:17.640 --> 57:20.720
including everything after Adam and Eve

57:20.720 --> 57:22.960
got kicked out of the garden, right?

57:22.960 --> 57:24.240
And so how long has that been?

57:24.240 --> 57:26.000
Over 6,000 years.

57:26.000 --> 57:29.940
We've had a really nice long dispensation of grace.

57:29.940 --> 57:31.680
But in fact, the Bible says in Revelation

57:31.680 --> 57:33.040
that the angels are gonna come

57:33.040 --> 57:36.640
and they're gonna preach in the everlasting gospel, right?

57:36.640 --> 57:40.480
And so the dispensation of grace is actually everlasting.

57:41.560 --> 57:42.400
Right, why?

57:42.400 --> 57:44.480
Because I mean, it's the everlasting gospel,

57:44.480 --> 57:46.600
and that's the only way people are getting saved, right?

57:46.600 --> 57:47.440
Amen.

57:47.440 --> 57:49.080
So let's see here.

57:49.080 --> 57:51.960
I heard you, I had you turn to Galatians chapter number one.

57:51.960 --> 57:52.880
Galatians chapter number one.

57:52.880 --> 57:54.960
So I gave you some reasons as to why

57:56.080 --> 57:58.040
salvation couldn't have been different in the Old Testament.

57:58.040 --> 57:59.600
It was not by works in the Old Testament

57:59.600 --> 58:02.200
or by keeping the law in the Old Testament.

58:02.200 --> 58:06.040
But, you know, by saying that salvation was different

58:06.040 --> 58:07.880
in the Old Testament, what they're really saying

58:07.880 --> 58:10.300
is that there was another gospel in the Old Testament,

58:10.300 --> 58:12.040
meaning a different gospel.

58:12.040 --> 58:13.440
And they're also saying that there's gonna be

58:13.440 --> 58:15.320
a different gospel in the future

58:15.320 --> 58:18.600
because they, pretty much all dispensationalists believe

58:18.600 --> 58:22.240
that basically after the rapture,

58:23.920 --> 58:26.880
basically works-based salvation is re-engaged.

58:26.880 --> 58:31.400
And the dispensation of grace ends

58:31.400 --> 58:34.120
once Jesus Christ returns, right?

58:34.120 --> 58:35.080
And so there's a, you know,

58:35.080 --> 58:38.600
he had a works-based salvation in the Old Testament.

58:38.600 --> 58:41.400
You know, and there's like different variations on that.

58:41.400 --> 58:43.120
You know, I won't get down into the weeds

58:43.840 --> 58:45.440
what they believed about like technically,

58:45.440 --> 58:47.360
before the law, the pre-law,

58:47.360 --> 58:50.320
and then before Noah and all this stuff.

58:50.320 --> 58:53.600
But it's all nonsense is what it is.

58:53.600 --> 58:57.800
But then they believe that as soon as the church age ends

58:57.800 --> 59:00.800
and the dispensation of grace ends after the rapture,

59:00.800 --> 59:03.840
that there'll be basically another dispensation of works

59:03.840 --> 59:05.880
or another dispensation of, you know,

59:05.880 --> 59:07.280
they have some other fancy name for it.

59:07.280 --> 59:09.560
They don't call it the dispensation of the law,

59:09.560 --> 59:12.320
but they have some other form of works-based salvation

59:12.320 --> 59:15.160
where you have to avoid taking the mark of the beast

59:15.160 --> 59:16.440
in order to be saved,

59:16.440 --> 59:19.160
and you also have to not be tricked by the Antichrist

59:19.160 --> 59:22.080
and all this works stuff.

59:22.080 --> 59:24.760
And it just goes to show that they don't understand the Bible

59:24.760 --> 59:27.320
and they don't pay attention to the detail in the Bible,

59:27.320 --> 59:29.160
because the Bible is clear.

59:29.160 --> 59:31.280
And you know, and I've heard this several different times

59:31.280 --> 59:34.240
lately, you know, just on the internet,

59:34.240 --> 59:36.440
of basically people saying that, hey, you know,

59:36.440 --> 59:39.280
Christians are gonna be deceived by the Antichrist.

59:40.520 --> 59:41.720
And it's like, you need to pay attention

59:41.720 --> 59:42.800
to what the Bible actually says,

59:42.800 --> 59:45.000
because it says, if it were possible

59:45.000 --> 59:47.400
to deceive the very elect, right?

59:47.400 --> 59:50.320
Which means it's not possible for the elect

59:50.320 --> 59:52.600
to be deceived by the Antichrist.

59:52.600 --> 59:54.840
So, but here in Galatians chapter number one,

59:54.840 --> 59:57.160
look at verse number six, it says,

59:57.160 --> 59:59.000
I marvel that you're so soon removed

59:59.000 --> 01:00:00.960
from him that called you into the grace of Christ

01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:03.680
unto another gospel, which is not another,

01:00:03.680 --> 01:00:05.760
but there be some that trouble you

01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:07.800
and would pervert the gospel of Christ,

01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:09.240
but though we who are an angel from heaven

01:00:09.240 --> 01:00:10.840
preach any other gospel unto you

01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:12.280
than that which ye have preached unto you,

01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:16.040
let him be accursed as we said before,

01:00:16.040 --> 01:00:19.000
so say I, excuse me, now again,

01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:21.480
if any man preach any other gospel unto you

01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:25.160
than that you have received, let him be accursed.

01:00:25.160 --> 01:00:26.520
So according to the Bible, anybody preaching

01:00:26.520 --> 01:00:29.520
a different gospel is to be accursed.

01:00:29.520 --> 01:00:31.320
So that means that Peter Ruckman,

01:00:33.600 --> 01:00:35.880
you know, I had a bunch of names thought up

01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:36.880
in my head right before the sermon.

01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:40.400
There's Peter Ruckman, Andrew Sluder,

01:00:41.040 --> 01:00:42.920
what's the guy with the beard, Chipmunk Man?

01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:47.480
Robert Breaker, you know, all these different guys,

01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:49.160
Gene Kim with the closing eyes.

01:00:51.600 --> 01:00:53.880
All these guys, they're preaching another gospel,

01:00:53.880 --> 01:00:55.800
they're preaching a different gospel,

01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:59.020
and according to the Bible, they are to be accursed, right?

01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:03.480
Why, because look, they might be preaching

01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:06.520
a correct gospel now, which actually I don't think

01:01:06.520 --> 01:01:09.320
any of those guys in particular ever were,

01:01:09.800 --> 01:01:11.080
I think they mix it up with works,

01:01:11.080 --> 01:01:14.040
even in the New Testament, so much for this

01:01:14.040 --> 01:01:16.720
dispensation of grace, but it didn't really pan out

01:01:16.720 --> 01:01:18.160
because you had to repent of all your sins

01:01:18.160 --> 01:01:19.680
or something like that.

01:01:19.680 --> 01:01:21.520
But you know, all these guys, they are preaching

01:01:21.520 --> 01:01:23.720
another gospel because they're saying that in the future,

01:01:23.720 --> 01:01:26.020
there's a different gospel from the one that we have now,

01:01:26.020 --> 01:01:29.080
and then also, there used to be a different gospel

01:01:29.080 --> 01:01:31.260
than what we have right now.

01:01:31.260 --> 01:01:34.600
And so at the end of the day, they are preaching

01:01:34.600 --> 01:01:35.740
a false gospel.

01:01:36.260 --> 01:01:39.980
So you say, well, okay, well, what was the gospel

01:01:39.980 --> 01:01:40.820
in the Old Testament?

01:01:40.820 --> 01:01:43.860
How was it that people were getting saved

01:01:43.860 --> 01:01:45.260
in the Old Testament?

01:01:45.260 --> 01:01:46.860
And I want you to go ahead and turn to Romans

01:01:46.860 --> 01:01:47.720
Shabbat number 10.

01:01:53.660 --> 01:01:57.280
Because again, you know, people were saved

01:01:57.280 --> 01:02:00.540
in the same basic way that we are in the New Testament.

01:02:00.540 --> 01:02:02.540
It was the same deal, right?

01:02:02.540 --> 01:02:05.400
And you know, how is it that we, you know,

01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:07.720
whenever we're giving people the gospel,

01:02:07.720 --> 01:02:11.520
right at the end, how do we actually get them saved?

01:02:11.520 --> 01:02:12.640
Well, let's look at it right here.

01:02:12.640 --> 01:02:14.320
Romans 10, nine, very famous verses.

01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:15.160
We all know them.

01:02:15.160 --> 01:02:16.560
It says that if thou shalt confess with the mouth

01:02:16.560 --> 01:02:18.480
of the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart

01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:19.680
that God hath raised him from the dead,

01:02:19.680 --> 01:02:20.760
thou shalt be saved.

01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:22.720
For with the heart man believeth in the righteousness

01:02:22.720 --> 01:02:24.840
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:27.320
For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth unto him

01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:28.520
shall not be ashamed.

01:02:28.520 --> 01:02:31.040
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek.

01:02:31.040 --> 01:02:34.280
For the same Lord overall is rich unto all that call upon him.

01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:37.240
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord

01:02:37.240 --> 01:02:40.160
shall be saved.

01:02:40.160 --> 01:02:45.000
So we got Romans 10, nine through 13, very famous passage.

01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:48.580
What is it, how is it that people are actually getting saved?

01:02:48.580 --> 01:02:51.560
It says by calling upon the name of the Lord, right?

01:02:51.560 --> 01:02:53.160
So when somebody calls upon the name of the Lord

01:02:53.160 --> 01:02:55.300
and believe, they're saved, amen?

01:02:56.320 --> 01:03:00.000
So how was, how do people get saved in the Old Testament?

01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:03.000
Well, let's go to Genesis chapter number four.

01:03:03.200 --> 01:03:05.160
Pretty early in the Old Testament, I would say,

01:03:05.160 --> 01:03:08.720
Genesis chapter number four, fourth chapter of the Bible,

01:03:08.720 --> 01:03:13.640
it says, and to Seth, to him also there was born a son

01:03:13.640 --> 01:03:16.040
and he called his name Enos.

01:03:16.040 --> 01:03:19.880
Then, notice this, then began man to call

01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:23.480
upon the name of the Lord.

01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:27.280
So what was happening when people were calling

01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:28.480
upon the name of the Lord?

01:03:29.680 --> 01:03:32.480
They were getting saved, people were being regenerated.

01:03:33.920 --> 01:03:38.920
And so, early on in the Bible, people are getting saved.

01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:44.920
And this is very shortly after Cain killed Abel.

01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:49.960
Obviously, the Bible talks about how Abel considers him

01:03:50.140 --> 01:03:52.440
to be a prophet as well.

01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:54.920
Jesus talked about how the Jews killed Abel.

01:03:56.200 --> 01:03:59.720
And so he was a prophet as well.

01:03:59.720 --> 01:04:02.760
And so obviously, he had called upon the name of the Lord.

01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:05.840
That's why he was offering the correct sacrifice.

01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:08.480
He was like, hey, we're gonna do the substitutionary

01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:12.200
blood sacrifice with actual animals,

01:04:12.200 --> 01:04:13.780
which showed that he actually understood

01:04:13.780 --> 01:04:15.120
and knew what was going on there,

01:04:15.120 --> 01:04:17.380
where he's like, hey, we're sinners,

01:04:17.380 --> 01:04:21.360
we need a sacrificial substitute.

01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:24.580
We need an offering that has some blood going on in it.

01:04:24.580 --> 01:04:27.440
And so, obviously Abel, he had called upon the name of the

01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:32.160
Lord, and so the statement in Genesis 426,

01:04:32.160 --> 01:04:34.040
when it says, then began man to call upon the name of the

01:04:34.040 --> 01:04:36.280
Lord, that's like a general statement saying,

01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:39.480
hey, a bunch of people are calling upon the name of the Lord.

01:04:41.680 --> 01:04:43.580
Before, there weren't necessarily,

01:04:43.580 --> 01:04:47.020
you'd have isolated events, like maybe Adam and Eve

01:04:47.020 --> 01:04:50.400
getting saved, and then Abel getting saved.

01:04:50.400 --> 01:04:55.400
But then, after Enos is born, then the gospel's getting

01:04:55.900 --> 01:04:58.240
preached, and lots of people are calling upon

01:04:58.240 --> 01:05:00.040
the name of the Lord.

01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:01.640
Right?

01:05:01.640 --> 01:05:03.320
And so, let's see here.

01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:08.320
But, you know, people, they wanna act like the Old Testament

01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:11.880
is just like, you know, it's just salvation,

01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:14.520
it's just so completely different in the Old Testament.

01:05:14.520 --> 01:05:15.840
And if you just read the Old Testament,

01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:18.080
it's just all about doing all these works,

01:05:18.080 --> 01:05:20.000
and you know, it's just all about keeping the law

01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:22.280
in order to be saved, and if you don't keep the law,

01:05:22.280 --> 01:05:23.280
you're going to hell.

01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:25.120
But, you know, I just went through,

01:05:25.120 --> 01:05:28.800
and I looked, I just typed in the word, you know, salvation.

01:05:29.680 --> 01:05:32.760
In Bible Gateway, and I just went through,

01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:35.320
and there's a lot of mentions of salvation

01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:37.880
in the Old Testament, so I didn't have enough time

01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:40.240
to go through all of them, but I went through

01:05:40.240 --> 01:05:43.080
probably half of them, right?

01:05:43.080 --> 01:05:46.340
And you just go through, you're like, you know,

01:05:46.340 --> 01:05:48.600
looking at all these verses that have the word salvation

01:05:48.600 --> 01:05:53.600
in it, and there's, it's shocking, it's not shocking.

01:05:53.720 --> 01:05:55.520
But, you know, from this perspective of saying that,

01:05:55.520 --> 01:05:57.840
hey, in the Old Testament, it was by works,

01:05:57.840 --> 01:06:01.320
there's just no verses that are saying,

01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:04.520
that are attaching salvation with man's works.

01:06:04.520 --> 01:06:06.160
It's just not there.

01:06:06.160 --> 01:06:07.360
You know, you're just looking,

01:06:07.360 --> 01:06:09.600
you're just verse after verse after verse after verse,

01:06:09.600 --> 01:06:12.560
and you know, I covered quite a bit of ground.

01:06:12.560 --> 01:06:15.440
You know, I got most of the way through Psalms, you know,

01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:17.640
and it's like, where I would expect to see

01:06:17.640 --> 01:06:20.480
all these works-based salvation verses, you know,

01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:22.600
would be where the law is given, right?

01:06:22.600 --> 01:06:24.400
It's like, hey, salvation by the law, right?

01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:25.680
You gotta keep the law in order to be saved,

01:06:25.680 --> 01:06:27.620
so where are we gonna find all the salvation,

01:06:28.420 --> 01:06:30.900
all the verses that tell you you have salvation by the law?

01:06:30.900 --> 01:06:32.540
Well, I would expect to find them

01:06:32.540 --> 01:06:34.940
within the first five books of the Bible.

01:06:34.940 --> 01:06:36.100
I mean, that's why I would think I would,

01:06:36.100 --> 01:06:38.100
because that's where the law is, right?

01:06:38.100 --> 01:06:39.860
Salvation by law?

01:06:39.860 --> 01:06:41.540
I mean, that's where you would look.

01:06:41.540 --> 01:06:43.620
But it's not there.

01:06:43.620 --> 01:06:45.540
They don't exist.

01:06:45.540 --> 01:06:47.500
You know, again, where this is coming from

01:06:47.500 --> 01:06:50.820
is that you have sacrifices that are called the sin offering,

01:06:50.820 --> 01:06:53.060
and then God has mercy on people

01:06:53.060 --> 01:06:54.980
when they perform the offering.

01:06:54.980 --> 01:06:58.260
But again, what's the purpose of that?

01:06:58.260 --> 01:07:00.460
That's to picture God's mercy on us

01:07:00.460 --> 01:07:03.940
when we accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

01:07:03.940 --> 01:07:04.780
Amen?

01:07:04.780 --> 01:07:08.340
But let's just look at some of these examples.

01:07:08.340 --> 01:07:10.860
Let's go to Exodus chapter number 14.

01:07:10.860 --> 01:07:15.860
Let's look at what is salvation like in the Old Testament?

01:07:19.860 --> 01:07:22.300
And here's the thing about the word salvation

01:07:22.300 --> 01:07:23.860
in the Old Testament.

01:07:23.860 --> 01:07:26.740
You know, the vast majority of the time,

01:07:26.740 --> 01:07:29.900
it's actually not talking about a spiritual salvation.

01:07:29.900 --> 01:07:32.300
It's talking about a physical salvation.

01:07:32.300 --> 01:07:35.820
However, that still can give us a clue and ideas

01:07:35.820 --> 01:07:38.060
of how God is working salvation in the Old Testament,

01:07:38.060 --> 01:07:40.060
spiritual salvation, okay?

01:07:40.060 --> 01:07:41.660
So go to Exodus chapter number 14.

01:07:41.660 --> 01:07:42.500
Look at verse number 13.

01:07:42.500 --> 01:07:45.100
It says, and Moses said unto the people,

01:07:45.100 --> 01:07:48.140
fear ye not, stand still,

01:07:48.140 --> 01:07:51.060
and see the salvation of the Lord,

01:07:51.060 --> 01:07:53.380
which he will show you, excuse me,

01:07:53.380 --> 01:07:55.660
which he will show to you today,

01:07:55.660 --> 01:07:59.460
for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to this day,

01:07:59.460 --> 01:08:04.260
ye shall see them again no more forever.

01:08:04.260 --> 01:08:05.100
Right?

01:08:05.100 --> 01:08:07.660
So note, you know, this is a very interesting verse to me.

01:08:07.660 --> 01:08:09.100
It says, you know, Moses said unto the people,

01:08:09.100 --> 01:08:11.900
fear ye not, and stand still.

01:08:11.900 --> 01:08:13.420
Now what does stand still mean?

01:08:14.940 --> 01:08:16.500
It's the thing that I wish my kids would do

01:08:16.500 --> 01:08:18.700
every once in a while, okay?

01:08:18.700 --> 01:08:20.340
Means not moving around, right?

01:08:20.340 --> 01:08:22.500
Not, it means you're not working.

01:08:22.540 --> 01:08:23.460
You're not doing anything.

01:08:23.460 --> 01:08:25.980
You're just waiting for God to do something.

01:08:25.980 --> 01:08:27.180
You know, somebody else is doing something.

01:08:27.180 --> 01:08:28.900
You're doing nothing, right?

01:08:28.900 --> 01:08:30.780
You're standing still.

01:08:30.780 --> 01:08:32.500
It says, you know, stand still,

01:08:32.500 --> 01:08:36.980
and see the salvation of the Lord.

01:08:36.980 --> 01:08:38.820
So where does this salvation,

01:08:38.820 --> 01:08:41.100
where's this salvation coming from?

01:08:41.100 --> 01:08:42.700
It's coming from the Lord.

01:08:42.700 --> 01:08:45.140
They're being delivered by the Lord, right?

01:08:45.140 --> 01:08:46.740
They're not delivering themselves.

01:08:46.740 --> 01:08:50.500
They're being delivered by the Lord, right?

01:08:50.500 --> 01:08:51.700
Not by themselves.

01:08:53.500 --> 01:08:55.220
Of course it says, you know, for the Egyptians,

01:08:55.220 --> 01:08:57.740
whom you see today, you shall see them no more.

01:08:57.740 --> 01:09:01.820
So in context, yes, what is this salvation talking about?

01:09:01.820 --> 01:09:04.260
This is not talking about specifically, you know,

01:09:04.260 --> 01:09:07.540
the spiritual salvation taking them to heaven when they die.

01:09:07.540 --> 01:09:11.140
It is talking about delivering them from the Egyptians,

01:09:11.140 --> 01:09:12.300
right?

01:09:12.300 --> 01:09:14.300
But, you know, if you think about it though,

01:09:14.300 --> 01:09:16.260
the Bible is a spiritual book.

01:09:16.260 --> 01:09:18.220
So this verse can apply in multiple ways.

01:09:18.220 --> 01:09:21.300
Now the primary application is a physical salvation

01:09:21.340 --> 01:09:22.500
from the Egyptian army,

01:09:22.500 --> 01:09:25.460
which is trying to come and kill them, right?

01:09:25.460 --> 01:09:26.980
But, you know, Egypt, if you think about it,

01:09:26.980 --> 01:09:30.100
it's interesting that Egypt always represents the world,

01:09:30.980 --> 01:09:32.500
you know, in the Bible.

01:09:32.500 --> 01:09:36.940
And it represents, in a way, it represents sin, right?

01:09:36.940 --> 01:09:39.780
Because, you know, where's everyone that's of the world

01:09:39.780 --> 01:09:41.780
going to go when they die?

01:09:41.780 --> 01:09:43.300
They're gonna go to hell, right?

01:09:43.300 --> 01:09:45.020
And, you know, where did all these Egyptians go

01:09:45.020 --> 01:09:46.860
when they died when God killed them?

01:09:46.860 --> 01:09:48.940
You know, maybe some of them were saved

01:09:48.940 --> 01:09:50.500
and they were just trying to do what they were told,

01:09:50.500 --> 01:09:51.900
you know, who knows, right?

01:09:51.900 --> 01:09:55.740
But largely, they're all going to hell, right?

01:09:55.740 --> 01:09:58.580
And so that's the destruction of hell.

01:09:58.580 --> 01:10:00.700
And, you know, the nation of Israel

01:10:00.700 --> 01:10:02.700
is supposed to represent those who are saved,

01:10:02.700 --> 01:10:05.860
you know, they're baptized when they go through the Red Sea,

01:10:05.860 --> 01:10:07.980
so it's kind of supposed to represent salvation.

01:10:07.980 --> 01:10:09.780
Obviously we know that most of them,

01:10:09.780 --> 01:10:11.700
unfortunately, weren't saved.

01:10:11.700 --> 01:10:14.500
But they're supposed to represent salvation.

01:10:14.500 --> 01:10:16.900
And so, but again though,

01:10:16.900 --> 01:10:20.100
do we see salvation by works here?

01:10:20.100 --> 01:10:23.940
No, we don't, we see salvation through the Lord.

01:10:24.860 --> 01:10:26.980
And, you know, and if you think about it,

01:10:26.980 --> 01:10:30.500
in Genesis, I can't remember exactly which chapter it is,

01:10:30.500 --> 01:10:33.300
but in Genesis, when Abraham is commanded

01:10:33.300 --> 01:10:37.860
to go sacrifice, you know, Isaac on the altar,

01:10:37.860 --> 01:10:40.700
you know, Isaac is going up and, you know,

01:10:40.700 --> 01:10:42.860
they've got the wood, they've got the fire and everything,

01:10:42.860 --> 01:10:44.940
they're ready to go for the offering.

01:10:44.940 --> 01:10:46.500
And Isaac's like, hey, Dad,

01:10:46.620 --> 01:10:51.620
where's the animal that we're gonna sacrifice?

01:10:51.820 --> 01:10:53.740
What's, I don't see it,

01:10:53.740 --> 01:10:55.460
it's kind of conspicuously missing

01:10:55.460 --> 01:10:56.860
from the picture here, Dad.

01:10:56.860 --> 01:11:00.180
I'm kind of, you know, a little bit nervous.

01:11:00.180 --> 01:11:02.500
You know, I love Abraham's response,

01:11:02.500 --> 01:11:03.700
because what his response is,

01:11:03.700 --> 01:11:08.700
is he says God will provide himself as sacrifice.

01:11:09.860 --> 01:11:13.220
So even in the Old Testament, you know,

01:11:13.220 --> 01:11:15.820
we see here salvation is not by the nation of Israel

01:11:15.820 --> 01:11:18.700
fighting for themselves and overcoming their sin

01:11:18.700 --> 01:11:21.100
and overcoming the world and, you know,

01:11:21.100 --> 01:11:23.700
and overcoming the Egyptians and all this stuff.

01:11:23.700 --> 01:11:26.500
No, the salvation is of the Lord

01:11:26.500 --> 01:11:29.740
and God will provide himself a sacrifice.

01:11:29.740 --> 01:11:31.660
And so the Old Testament, you know,

01:11:31.660 --> 01:11:34.020
I'm sure that that was a common saying after Abraham

01:11:34.020 --> 01:11:36.580
was like, hey, God's gonna provide himself a sacrifice.

01:11:36.580 --> 01:11:38.980
That's how we know that we're gonna go to heaven,

01:11:38.980 --> 01:11:41.020
because God's gonna provide a sacrifice for himself.

01:11:41.020 --> 01:11:43.620
You don't have to worry about providing your own sacrifice

01:11:43.620 --> 01:11:45.300
because God's gonna do it.

01:11:45.300 --> 01:11:48.300
Now you need to obey God and keep,

01:11:48.300 --> 01:11:49.380
just like, hey, in the New Testament,

01:11:49.380 --> 01:11:51.780
we're supposed to obey God, right?

01:11:51.780 --> 01:11:54.820
But, you know, it says in Hebrews chapter number 10, though,

01:11:54.820 --> 01:11:56.220
it says we have, you know,

01:11:56.220 --> 01:11:57.740
there's no more sacrifice for sin,

01:11:57.740 --> 01:11:59.180
so we don't get to, you know,

01:11:59.180 --> 01:12:04.180
because the picture, the actual death,

01:12:04.180 --> 01:12:05.900
the resurrection happened already,

01:12:05.900 --> 01:12:07.420
so we don't get to do the picture now

01:12:07.420 --> 01:12:10.580
where we can sacrifice and then receive mercy from God

01:12:10.580 --> 01:12:12.980
and there's no more sacrifice for sin, okay?

01:12:13.380 --> 01:12:15.500
Because it already happened.

01:12:15.500 --> 01:12:18.900
Jesus already came, you know, but anyways,

01:12:18.900 --> 01:12:22.260
go ahead and turn to Exodus chapter number 15.

01:12:22.260 --> 01:12:24.100
Exodus chapter number 15.

01:12:24.100 --> 01:12:26.420
We're just gonna go through a few examples

01:12:26.420 --> 01:12:29.420
that I found, examples that I liked,

01:12:29.420 --> 01:12:32.940
where the word salvation is used in the Old Testament,

01:12:32.940 --> 01:12:36.700
and, you know, we're not gonna find that, you know,

01:12:36.700 --> 01:12:39.020
if thou shalt keep all the sacrifices

01:12:39.020 --> 01:12:40.100
and shalt not break the law,

01:12:40.100 --> 01:12:42.620
thou shalt have salvation, you know.

01:12:42.620 --> 01:12:43.900
It just doesn't happen.

01:12:43.900 --> 01:12:47.300
It says in Psalm 37, verse number 39, it says,

01:12:47.300 --> 01:12:51.940
but the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord.

01:12:51.940 --> 01:12:54.340
He is their strength in time of trouble.

01:12:54.340 --> 01:12:59.340
So again, salvation is of the Lord, not of the law, right?

01:13:00.580 --> 01:13:03.820
Psalm 78, it says, because they believed,

01:13:03.820 --> 01:13:05.540
notice that, I really like this one.

01:13:05.540 --> 01:13:09.420
It says, because they believed not in God

01:13:09.420 --> 01:13:13.820
and trusted not in his salvation.

01:13:13.820 --> 01:13:15.660
So it seems like salvation in the Old Testament

01:13:15.660 --> 01:13:17.420
is by trusting God.

01:13:17.420 --> 01:13:20.380
Now, if you go to Psalm 78 and you read the whole chapter,

01:13:20.380 --> 01:13:24.820
what the context is, is basically talking about how the,

01:13:24.820 --> 01:13:26.900
I believe it's when the nation of Israel, you know,

01:13:26.900 --> 01:13:29.340
when they're going into the promised land, you know,

01:13:29.340 --> 01:13:32.460
they had, you know, they started freaking out

01:13:32.460 --> 01:13:33.940
because of the giants in the land

01:13:33.940 --> 01:13:36.020
and they weren't trusting him, right?

01:13:36.020 --> 01:13:37.940
And so they didn't get to go into the promised land.

01:13:38.500 --> 01:13:42.340
That's what the immediate interpretation is,

01:13:42.340 --> 01:13:45.100
is them not trusting God in order to go into the promised

01:13:45.100 --> 01:13:48.740
land, but however, you know, that is a picture in the New,

01:13:48.740 --> 01:13:50.500
you know, in the New Testament,

01:13:50.500 --> 01:13:55.500
it says that they were not saved because of unbelief, right?

01:13:55.580 --> 01:13:59.340
And so it says that in the Old Testament though, it says,

01:13:59.340 --> 01:14:02.380
you know, because they believe not in God,

01:14:02.380 --> 01:14:03.540
what were they not doing?

01:14:03.540 --> 01:14:05.940
They weren't trusting in God.

01:14:05.940 --> 01:14:07.620
Now you say, well, let's not talk about salvation,

01:14:07.820 --> 01:14:10.100
but that is how salvation works though,

01:14:10.100 --> 01:14:14.020
is by trusting God, even in the Old Testament, right?

01:14:14.020 --> 01:14:18.620
I mean, you just don't find salvation being by the law

01:14:18.620 --> 01:14:20.260
anywhere in the Old Testament.

01:14:20.260 --> 01:14:22.660
It just, it doesn't exist, my friend.

01:14:22.660 --> 01:14:25.420
And it says they trusted not in his salvation.

01:14:25.420 --> 01:14:28.500
And so, you know, how were people spiritually saved

01:14:28.500 --> 01:14:30.060
in the Old Testament?

01:14:30.060 --> 01:14:35.060
By trusting in God's salvation, by believing God.

01:14:35.100 --> 01:14:37.780
I mean, that's how the Bible literally specifically says

01:14:37.780 --> 01:14:38.980
how Abraham was saved.

01:14:38.980 --> 01:14:42.220
He believed God and it was counted on him for righteousness.

01:14:43.180 --> 01:14:46.220
So those are some examples of the word salvation

01:14:46.220 --> 01:14:47.300
in the Old Testament.

01:14:47.300 --> 01:14:50.860
What about, what about saved?

01:14:50.860 --> 01:14:53.220
You know, cause you know, a lot of our favorite verses

01:14:53.220 --> 01:14:54.380
use the word saved, right?

01:14:54.380 --> 01:14:56.220
You know, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

01:14:56.220 --> 01:15:00.060
and thou shalt be saved, amen?

01:15:00.060 --> 01:15:02.660
And so if salvation in the Old Testament is by the law,

01:15:02.660 --> 01:15:04.740
we should just find a whole ton of verses

01:15:05.420 --> 01:15:07.340
that just say like, hey, you know,

01:15:07.340 --> 01:15:11.060
do the animal sacrifices and thou shalt be saved, right?

01:15:11.060 --> 01:15:12.820
But you know, we don't find that.

01:15:12.820 --> 01:15:15.060
But let's look at an example of what it does say.

01:15:15.060 --> 01:15:18.580
And this is one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible.

01:15:18.580 --> 01:15:20.580
It says Isaiah 45, verse number 22.

01:15:20.580 --> 01:15:25.180
It says, look unto me and be ye saved,

01:15:25.180 --> 01:15:27.900
all the ends of the earth, for I am God

01:15:27.900 --> 01:15:29.340
and there is none else.

01:15:30.620 --> 01:15:32.220
So what's the Bible saying here?

01:15:33.380 --> 01:15:34.580
Look unto me and be ye saved.

01:15:35.420 --> 01:15:37.140
You know, kind of like in John chapter number three,

01:15:37.140 --> 01:15:40.100
where it says, you know, as the serpent in the wilderness

01:15:40.100 --> 01:15:44.860
was lifted up, so must the son of man be lifted up, right?

01:15:44.860 --> 01:15:46.260
And what was that talk about?

01:15:46.260 --> 01:15:48.220
Well, it's talking about a story from the Old Testament

01:15:48.220 --> 01:15:51.380
where I believe it was either Moses or Aaron,

01:15:51.380 --> 01:15:53.660
they had to make a brazen serpent, right?

01:15:53.660 --> 01:15:55.540
Because there's all these, they were complaining

01:15:55.540 --> 01:15:57.820
and whining and then God sent these fiery serpents

01:15:57.820 --> 01:15:59.940
among the nation of Israel and they're just biting people

01:15:59.940 --> 01:16:01.660
and people are dying.

01:16:01.660 --> 01:16:03.660
And so they made a brazen serpent

01:16:04.060 --> 01:16:06.300
and it says in the Old Testament that whosoever looked

01:16:06.300 --> 01:16:10.020
upon the brazen serpent was saved.

01:16:10.020 --> 01:16:11.700
You're like, you know, you got bit by the snake,

01:16:11.700 --> 01:16:13.540
you're like, I'm gonna die.

01:16:13.540 --> 01:16:15.140
What do I gotta do to be saved?

01:16:16.180 --> 01:16:18.460
Look, I mean, that's where that song comes from, my friend.

01:16:18.460 --> 01:16:22.060
Look and live, my brother live.

01:16:22.060 --> 01:16:24.220
It says look and live.

01:16:24.220 --> 01:16:27.500
They looked at the fiery serpent or the brazen serpent

01:16:27.500 --> 01:16:30.020
and they were saved.

01:16:30.020 --> 01:16:33.660
And then the New Testament is using that as an example,

01:16:33.660 --> 01:16:37.420
right, of how people are to get saved,

01:16:37.420 --> 01:16:39.060
is to look unto me.

01:16:39.060 --> 01:16:42.300
And again, this is how we get saved in the Old Testament.

01:16:42.300 --> 01:16:46.740
We're looking to Jesus for our salvation, right?

01:16:46.740 --> 01:16:49.580
We're looking to the death, burial, and resurrection

01:16:49.580 --> 01:16:52.220
to pay for our sins, right?

01:16:52.220 --> 01:16:55.700
We just, we look at him and we receive him

01:16:55.700 --> 01:16:58.940
and that's how we're saved.

01:16:58.940 --> 01:17:01.220
And you know, another thing I wanna point out

01:17:01.220 --> 01:17:04.020
is that I didn't have this necessarily in my notes,

01:17:04.020 --> 01:17:06.900
but you know, where do most of our favorite

01:17:06.900 --> 01:17:09.740
salvation verses that we like to show people,

01:17:09.740 --> 01:17:11.380
where do most of those come from?

01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:13.980
Book of John.

01:17:13.980 --> 01:17:16.000
Now, here's the thing.

01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:17.860
When you're in the Book of John,

01:17:17.860 --> 01:17:22.220
let's say you're in John chapter number three

01:17:22.220 --> 01:17:24.060
and you're reading these verses,

01:17:24.060 --> 01:17:25.780
what testament are you reading out?

01:17:26.780 --> 01:17:28.940
Technically, no.

01:17:28.940 --> 01:17:32.740
Now, look, we call the New Testament,

01:17:32.740 --> 01:17:35.700
we start calling it the New Testament at math, amen?

01:17:35.700 --> 01:17:37.180
And there's nothing wrong with that at all.

01:17:37.180 --> 01:17:41.700
However, technically, a testament has not power

01:17:41.700 --> 01:17:44.100
until the death of the testator, amen?

01:17:44.100 --> 01:17:47.060
So when did the New Testament technically actually start?

01:17:47.060 --> 01:17:48.900
It was when Jesus Christ died on the cross.

01:17:48.900 --> 01:17:50.560
That was the beginning of the New Testament,

01:17:50.560 --> 01:17:55.560
which means when Jesus Christ is doing his early ministry,

01:17:56.020 --> 01:17:58.980
he's quoting all these awesome verses for us

01:17:58.980 --> 01:18:03.020
about salvation and how it's free and how it's by faith,

01:18:03.020 --> 01:18:05.540
how it's by believing on Jesus Christ.

01:18:05.540 --> 01:18:10.540
All that is actually occurring in the Old Testament, okay?

01:18:10.580 --> 01:18:13.740
John 3.16, the most famous verse for salvation,

01:18:13.740 --> 01:18:17.580
that occurs in the Old Testament.

01:18:17.580 --> 01:18:20.000
And so how is it that the most famous verse

01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:24.980
for getting saved by faith is in the Old Testament?

01:18:24.980 --> 01:18:28.300
How does that work if salvation was by the law?

01:18:28.300 --> 01:18:30.340
Now, here's what they'll say.

01:18:30.340 --> 01:18:33.820
They'll say, you just don't understand the Bible.

01:18:33.820 --> 01:18:38.180
What you don't understand is that what Jesus was talking

01:18:38.180 --> 01:18:40.380
about when he said, for whosoever shall call upon the name

01:18:40.380 --> 01:18:41.900
of the Lord shall be saved, when he said,

01:18:41.900 --> 01:18:44.820
well, that's Acts 16, right?

01:18:44.820 --> 01:18:47.700
What you don't understand when Jesus said,

01:18:47.700 --> 01:18:49.700
verily, verily, I say to you, he that believeth on me

01:18:49.700 --> 01:18:52.820
hath everlasting life, what you ignoramuses

01:18:52.820 --> 01:18:54.660
and what you don't understand about that

01:18:54.660 --> 01:18:57.640
is that Jesus was talking about how it was going to be

01:18:57.640 --> 01:19:01.180
in the future, not actually present tense,

01:19:01.180 --> 01:19:04.060
kinda like the verse says, it's kinda awkward, you know?

01:19:04.060 --> 01:19:06.800
But what he was talking about was the future.

01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:11.240
And the way we know that is because when he was at one

01:19:11.240 --> 01:19:13.260
of the feasts, he stood up and he preached,

01:19:13.260 --> 01:19:17.860
hey, believe on me and rivers of living water

01:19:17.860 --> 01:19:20.220
are gonna flow out of you.

01:19:20.260 --> 01:19:23.300
And basically, the Bible says that he was speaking

01:19:23.300 --> 01:19:26.260
of the Holy Ghost, right?

01:19:26.260 --> 01:19:30.940
And so Jesus was talking about how in the New Testament,

01:19:30.940 --> 01:19:33.380
in the future, when people get saved,

01:19:33.380 --> 01:19:35.620
they would get the Holy Ghost, right?

01:19:35.620 --> 01:19:38.260
And look, that is what Jesus was talking about

01:19:38.260 --> 01:19:39.300
in that specific passage.

01:19:39.300 --> 01:19:41.920
And I can't remember exactly where it is.

01:19:41.920 --> 01:19:44.260
But basically, Jesus said, hey, you know,

01:19:45.860 --> 01:19:47.860
if you believe on me, then you're gonna have,

01:19:47.860 --> 01:19:50.100
you're gonna be filled with the Holy Ghost.

01:19:50.980 --> 01:19:51.740
But here's the thing, the narrator of the Bible

01:19:51.740 --> 01:19:53.820
specifically tells us that he spake of something

01:19:53.820 --> 01:19:56.140
that was gonna happen in the future, right?

01:19:56.140 --> 01:19:59.420
And you know, it's like the same thing with the Calvinists.

01:19:59.420 --> 01:20:03.780
You know, when they have a verse that says,

01:20:03.780 --> 01:20:05.500
like in the Old Testament, there'll be a verse that says,

01:20:05.500 --> 01:20:08.020
hey, God kept back somebody from sinning.

01:20:08.020 --> 01:20:11.240
And they'll say, you see, that's proof that whenever

01:20:11.240 --> 01:20:15.220
somebody doesn't sin, it's because God kept them from sinning.

01:20:15.220 --> 01:20:19.160
And also it proves conclusively that when somebody does sin,

01:20:19.200 --> 01:20:20.800
it's because God made them.

01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:23.320
It's like, okay, no, no, that's the stupidest logic

01:20:23.320 --> 01:20:24.700
I've ever heard in my life.

01:20:24.700 --> 01:20:29.200
So just because one time Jesus spoke of something

01:20:29.200 --> 01:20:31.000
that was gonna happen in the future,

01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:35.320
meaning, you know, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, right?

01:20:35.320 --> 01:20:38.160
He spoke of that, and then it's something

01:20:38.160 --> 01:20:40.640
that's happening in the future, right?

01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:45.400
Just because one time he preached something like that

01:20:45.400 --> 01:20:48.880
doesn't mean that that's how he preached about everything.

01:20:49.600 --> 01:20:52.840
And also the reason we know that that was a future event

01:20:52.840 --> 01:20:56.240
that he was talking about is because the narrator,

01:20:56.240 --> 01:20:58.360
the Bible, told us it was.

01:20:59.240 --> 01:21:02.360
So where is the narrator coming in and letting us know,

01:21:02.360 --> 01:21:06.680
hey, by the way, John 3.16 doesn't actually apply

01:21:06.680 --> 01:21:08.540
until Jesus dies on the cross.

01:21:08.540 --> 01:21:10.560
Does that ever happen?

01:21:10.560 --> 01:21:11.800
No.

01:21:11.800 --> 01:21:14.520
And so therefore it applies immediately.

01:21:14.520 --> 01:21:16.920
And you know, and it's really awkward when it comes to verses,

01:21:16.920 --> 01:21:19.960
like John 6.47, because he says,

01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:24.400
hath everlasting life, without any clarification

01:21:24.400 --> 01:21:26.200
coming in later to tell you, oh, by the way,

01:21:26.200 --> 01:21:27.960
he was talking about a future event.

01:21:29.240 --> 01:21:30.620
Doesn't exist, my friend.

01:21:31.600 --> 01:21:35.340
And so their logic falls on its face.

01:21:35.340 --> 01:21:38.120
It simply is not true at all.

01:21:38.120 --> 01:21:42.120
When Jesus said, you know, believe on me,

01:21:42.120 --> 01:21:44.080
you know, when he said, verily, verily, I say to you,

01:21:44.080 --> 01:21:46.420
he that believeth on me hath everlasting life,

01:21:46.940 --> 01:21:49.260
again, that is an Old Testament verse.

01:21:50.260 --> 01:21:52.540
You know, and a lot of times people will say like,

01:21:52.540 --> 01:21:54.060
oh, well, if you're gonna witness to Jews,

01:21:54.060 --> 01:21:55.780
you need to use the Old Testament.

01:21:55.780 --> 01:21:56.860
Amen.

01:21:56.860 --> 01:21:58.500
We need to be using John 3.

01:21:58.500 --> 01:22:00.460
We need to be using John chapter number 10.

01:22:00.460 --> 01:22:02.820
We need to be using John chapter number eight, right?

01:22:02.820 --> 01:22:04.860
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

01:22:04.860 --> 01:22:06.940
You're if you're father the devil.

01:22:06.940 --> 01:22:09.860
But you know, maybe you don't need to show them that,

01:22:09.860 --> 01:22:11.340
maybe at the end when they reject you,

01:22:11.340 --> 01:22:12.540
then you can show them that, I don't know.

01:22:12.540 --> 01:22:13.380
But anyways.

01:22:13.540 --> 01:22:14.740
Ha ha ha ha ha.

01:22:14.740 --> 01:22:16.860
But amen, we need to use the Old Testament.

01:22:16.860 --> 01:22:19.740
I used a whole bunch of verses from the Old Testament

01:22:19.740 --> 01:22:21.140
to get somebody saved today.

01:22:22.140 --> 01:22:22.980
Right?

01:22:22.980 --> 01:22:23.800
Why?

01:22:23.800 --> 01:22:26.740
Because look, the Old Testament was still in effect.

01:22:26.740 --> 01:22:29.200
Jesus hadn't died yet, my friend.

01:22:29.200 --> 01:22:31.340
The New Testament had not yet started

01:22:31.340 --> 01:22:34.500
until Jesus Christ died, right?

01:22:34.500 --> 01:22:37.020
And so, you know, again,

01:22:37.020 --> 01:22:38.820
the Old Testament salvation, it's the same.

01:22:38.820 --> 01:22:42.180
Now here, there are technically some differences though.

01:22:43.060 --> 01:22:45.020
Let me give you some differences, okay?

01:22:45.020 --> 01:22:46.420
In the Old Testament,

01:22:47.300 --> 01:22:48.980
they were not saved specifically

01:22:48.980 --> 01:22:51.060
by the name of Jesus Christ.

01:22:51.060 --> 01:22:51.900
Why?

01:22:51.900 --> 01:22:52.780
Because the name of Jesus Christ

01:22:52.780 --> 01:22:54.960
had not yet been revealed to them.

01:22:54.960 --> 01:22:56.000
But here's the thing.

01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:57.580
They're still saved in the Old Testament

01:22:57.580 --> 01:23:01.220
by calling upon the name of the Lord, right?

01:23:01.220 --> 01:23:03.060
And so you have different, you know,

01:23:03.060 --> 01:23:05.040
you could say, oh, you have just different dispensations.

01:23:05.040 --> 01:23:06.620
Okay, well you have like your dispensation

01:23:06.620 --> 01:23:08.500
of calling upon God Almighty.

01:23:08.500 --> 01:23:09.660
Then you have the dispensation

01:23:09.660 --> 01:23:11.460
of calling on the name of Jehovah, right?

01:23:11.700 --> 01:23:13.700
Whatever the names were at the different time periods,

01:23:13.700 --> 01:23:16.000
but it's still the same thing though.

01:23:16.000 --> 01:23:17.340
That's not a different gospel.

01:23:17.340 --> 01:23:19.020
That's not another gospel.

01:23:19.020 --> 01:23:20.500
It's just another name.

01:23:20.500 --> 01:23:21.340
And guess what?

01:23:21.340 --> 01:23:22.420
God has multiple names.

01:23:22.420 --> 01:23:24.140
God has many names.

01:23:24.140 --> 01:23:26.860
I mean, you read through, you know,

01:23:26.860 --> 01:23:28.940
if you just read through like Matthew chapter number one,

01:23:28.940 --> 01:23:31.380
and he's like Emmanuel, Christ, Messiah.

01:23:31.380 --> 01:23:33.300
There's a bunch of different names that Jesus has, right?

01:23:33.300 --> 01:23:35.540
There's a bunch of different names that God has.

01:23:35.540 --> 01:23:40.160
But fundamentally, it's the same thing, right?

01:23:40.400 --> 01:23:44.800
If you took a wall, right?

01:23:44.800 --> 01:23:48.240
And the wall is constructed with two by four,

01:23:48.240 --> 01:23:52.240
16 inch on center, with a three quarter inch dry wall,

01:23:52.240 --> 01:23:56.200
and whatever texture you got going on or whatever.

01:23:56.200 --> 01:23:59.120
Orange peel, whatever it is, right?

01:23:59.120 --> 01:24:01.680
And then you like paint it a different color.

01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:03.880
Are you gonna be like, that's another wall?

01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:09.000
No, it just has a different coat of paint on it.

01:24:09.000 --> 01:24:10.360
Calm down, right?

01:24:10.360 --> 01:24:12.600
It's still the same wall, right?

01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:14.360
So it's the same salvation.

01:24:14.360 --> 01:24:16.440
It's the same gospel.

01:24:16.440 --> 01:24:19.760
It's just, you know, in the Old Testament,

01:24:19.760 --> 01:24:21.560
basically they're calling upon

01:24:21.560 --> 01:24:23.280
the name of the Lord to save them,

01:24:23.280 --> 01:24:25.000
whichever name that they needed to call on,

01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:27.160
whether it be God Almighty, whether it be Jehovah,

01:24:27.160 --> 01:24:29.280
whatever name, right?

01:24:29.280 --> 01:24:32.480
And they're looking forward to the fact

01:24:32.480 --> 01:24:34.840
that God would provide himself an offering.

01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:37.540
They're looking forward to that, trusting in that.

01:24:37.540 --> 01:24:39.700
They have the faith of Isaac, right?

01:24:39.700 --> 01:24:44.260
Where, you know, he's like, hey, dad, where's the sacrifice?

01:24:44.260 --> 01:24:45.180
And what's the answer?

01:24:45.180 --> 01:24:47.820
God is gonna provide himself an offering.

01:24:47.820 --> 01:24:52.820
He will provide himself either goat or, you know, a ram,

01:24:52.960 --> 01:24:54.220
you know, cotton, fizzles.

01:24:54.220 --> 01:24:55.980
He's gonna provide that himself.

01:24:55.980 --> 01:24:56.900
Don't worry.

01:24:56.900 --> 01:24:59.500
Trust in God, he's gonna provide a sacrifice.

01:24:59.500 --> 01:25:01.740
That's what it was in the Old Testament.

01:25:01.740 --> 01:25:03.820
They're trusting in God that he will provide

01:25:03.820 --> 01:25:05.500
himself a sacrifice.

01:25:05.500 --> 01:25:06.860
And then in the New Testament,

01:25:06.860 --> 01:25:09.140
we're looking at the finished sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

01:25:09.140 --> 01:25:11.500
We look back at the finished sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

01:25:11.500 --> 01:25:15.580
So that's the difference between the Old and New Testament.

01:25:15.580 --> 01:25:17.680
And I guess another thing that you could say

01:25:17.680 --> 01:25:19.740
is the fact that in the New Testament,

01:25:19.740 --> 01:25:21.580
we have the indwelling of the Holy Ghost,

01:25:21.580 --> 01:25:22.420
where in the Old Testament,

01:25:22.420 --> 01:25:24.820
they didn't necessarily have that, right?

01:25:24.820 --> 01:25:27.020
In the New Testament, we're sealed.

01:25:27.020 --> 01:25:28.380
But here's the thing.

01:25:29.260 --> 01:25:32.380
You know, Old Testament salvation was just as secure

01:25:32.380 --> 01:25:34.100
as it is in the New Testament.

01:25:34.100 --> 01:25:36.620
Once somebody was saved, you know,

01:25:36.620 --> 01:25:39.220
they're saved forever, just the same in the Old Testament.

01:25:39.220 --> 01:25:40.060
Why?

01:25:40.060 --> 01:25:42.540
Because otherwise, it still wouldn't be everlasting life.

01:25:42.540 --> 01:25:44.340
All the same rules apply.

01:25:44.340 --> 01:25:49.220
Just in the New Testament, we get an additional seal, right?

01:25:49.220 --> 01:25:52.260
We get an additional assurance, right?

01:25:52.260 --> 01:25:54.780
And so in the Old Testament, still, you know,

01:25:54.780 --> 01:25:56.380
once somebody was saved, there wasn't anything

01:25:56.380 --> 01:25:57.620
they could do to lose their salvation,

01:25:57.620 --> 01:25:59.340
just exactly the same way.

01:25:59.340 --> 01:26:01.880
Just in the New Testament, there's just one extra,

01:26:01.880 --> 01:26:04.140
like, one extra seal, right?

01:26:04.140 --> 01:26:05.980
You know, you got 40 locks on your door.

01:26:06.100 --> 01:26:07.500
Unpickable.

01:26:07.500 --> 01:26:09.340
And it's like, well, you know, in the Old Testament,

01:26:09.340 --> 01:26:10.420
they only had 39.

01:26:10.420 --> 01:26:11.260
What are they gonna do?

01:26:11.260 --> 01:26:13.860
It's like, they had 39.

01:26:13.860 --> 01:26:14.700
That's great.

01:26:14.700 --> 01:26:16.260
I mean, one will do.

01:26:16.260 --> 01:26:19.420
If you just had one lock, you're good.

01:26:19.420 --> 01:26:21.380
You have nothing, but there's 39.

01:26:21.380 --> 01:26:23.080
And now there's 40, right?

01:26:23.080 --> 01:26:27.220
And so, you know, again, salvation in the Old Testament,

01:26:27.220 --> 01:26:29.540
you know, we get this idea, like, oh, everything was just

01:26:29.540 --> 01:26:31.740
so different in the Old Testament and all this.

01:26:31.740 --> 01:26:34.200
But according to the Bible, it's the same.

01:26:35.200 --> 01:26:36.640
You know, and I believe, you know,

01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:39.080
when you read through the Psalms,

01:26:39.080 --> 01:26:40.760
there's all kinds of different Psalms that are like,

01:26:40.760 --> 01:26:44.800
hey, you know, speak of his salvation from day to day.

01:26:44.800 --> 01:26:46.100
Right, what is that?

01:26:46.100 --> 01:26:48.660
Well, you know, we just did that just now.

01:26:48.660 --> 01:26:51.200
We're going out and we're speaking of God's salvation.

01:26:51.200 --> 01:26:53.480
Right, and so you see, I mean, once you see it,

01:26:53.480 --> 01:26:56.800
there's like all kinds of references to soul winning

01:26:56.800 --> 01:26:59.880
and preaching the Gospel in the Book of Psalms.

01:26:59.880 --> 01:27:02.800
It's all over the place in the Book of Psalms, right?

01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:04.320
And so it's the same thing.

01:27:04.320 --> 01:27:07.000
They had soul winning back then.

01:27:07.000 --> 01:27:11.240
I mean, where do we even get the word soul winning from?

01:27:11.240 --> 01:27:13.840
It comes from the Old Testament, my friend.

01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:16.280
I can't remember exactly which Psalm it comes from.

01:27:16.280 --> 01:27:17.120
It's...

01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:21.600
No, I think it's like Psalm 126 or something like that.

01:27:21.600 --> 01:27:23.360
It's one of the Psalms that we sing.

01:27:30.400 --> 01:27:32.080
Proverbs 1130?

01:27:32.080 --> 01:27:33.160
You could be right.

01:27:33.160 --> 01:27:36.100
You know, it's possible I'm wrong, right?

01:27:41.120 --> 01:27:42.520
Yeah, you know, the last time I was wrong,

01:27:42.520 --> 01:27:43.920
I almost didn't get over it.

01:27:46.160 --> 01:27:47.320
I'm just kidding.

01:27:47.320 --> 01:27:50.080
Proverbs 1130, it says,

01:27:50.080 --> 01:27:51.960
"'The fruit of the righteous is the tree of life,

01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:53.740
"'and he that wineth souls is wise.'"

01:27:53.740 --> 01:27:55.320
All right, you were right, Ryan.

01:27:55.320 --> 01:27:57.980
You, good on ya.

01:27:57.980 --> 01:28:00.480
But is this the New Testament

01:28:00.480 --> 01:28:02.200
of our Lord, Savior, Jesus Christ?

01:28:02.200 --> 01:28:03.040
No, it's not.

01:28:03.040 --> 01:28:04.020
This is the Old Testament, my friend.

01:28:04.020 --> 01:28:07.200
That's where we get the word, you know, winning soul,

01:28:07.200 --> 01:28:10.040
soul winning, is from the Book of Proverbs,

01:28:10.040 --> 01:28:11.320
which is in the Old Testament.

01:28:11.320 --> 01:28:14.000
So guess what they had in the Old Testament?

01:28:14.000 --> 01:28:15.520
They had soul winning, right?

01:28:15.520 --> 01:28:16.640
They're going out there preaching gospel.

01:28:16.640 --> 01:28:20.000
They're like, hey, you need to trust in the God of the Bible.

01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:21.640
You need to trust in God Almighty.

01:28:21.640 --> 01:28:23.080
You need to trust in Jehovah.

01:28:23.080 --> 01:28:25.160
He's gonna save you.

01:28:25.160 --> 01:28:26.280
How do we know he's gonna save you?

01:28:26.280 --> 01:28:27.840
Because he said so.

01:28:27.840 --> 01:28:29.720
That's how we know.

01:28:29.720 --> 01:28:31.640
I mean, how do we know that Jesus is gonna save us

01:28:31.640 --> 01:28:33.160
in the New Testament?

01:28:33.160 --> 01:28:35.200
Because he said so, right?

01:28:35.200 --> 01:28:38.360
I mean, what are we basing our salvation on?

01:28:38.360 --> 01:28:39.960
Because Jesus said so.

01:28:39.960 --> 01:28:41.280
Because the Bible said so.

01:28:41.280 --> 01:28:42.120
That's what we're basing it on.

01:28:42.120 --> 01:28:43.980
So it's the same thing in the Old Testament.

01:28:43.980 --> 01:28:46.840
You know, it's because God said so, right?

01:28:46.840 --> 01:28:48.760
You know, and go ahead and turn to Acts, chapter number 10.

01:28:48.760 --> 01:28:53.640
Now, you know, Ryan did steal this verse from me,

01:28:53.640 --> 01:28:55.320
and I was very upset.

01:28:55.320 --> 01:28:56.520
I was raging in anger.

01:28:56.520 --> 01:28:58.280
I wasn't, just kidding.

01:28:58.280 --> 01:29:00.640
But he stole this verse from me.

01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:03.560
And you know, this is like my capstone verse

01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:04.720
of the whole sermon.

01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:08.120
My, you know, I don't know what you call it,

01:29:08.120 --> 01:29:12.040
but my greatest proof or whatever

01:29:12.040 --> 01:29:14.400
of salvation being the same in the Old Testament

01:29:14.400 --> 01:29:15.240
is this verse.

01:29:15.240 --> 01:29:17.280
And you know, of course everyone knows what it is

01:29:17.280 --> 01:29:19.560
because Ryan used it already.

01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:21.640
So there's not much climax here.

01:29:21.640 --> 01:29:23.400
I'm building up to the huge climax.

01:29:23.400 --> 01:29:26.360
And Brother Kyle, okay, well, it's Acts,

01:29:26.360 --> 01:29:28.440
chapter number 10, verse number 43.

01:29:28.440 --> 01:29:29.880
This is a great verse.

01:29:29.880 --> 01:29:31.840
So that must be why Brother Ryan used it.

01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:34.200
It says, to him give all the prophets witness,

01:29:34.200 --> 01:29:36.160
this is Acts 10, 43.

01:29:36.160 --> 01:29:37.480
To him give all the prophets witness

01:29:37.480 --> 01:29:41.440
that through his name, whosoever believeth in him

01:29:41.440 --> 01:29:44.400
shall receive remission of sins.

01:29:44.400 --> 01:29:46.060
So what does that mean?

01:29:46.060 --> 01:29:48.720
That means all the prophets in the Old Testament,

01:29:48.720 --> 01:29:50.240
they're running around telling people,

01:29:50.240 --> 01:29:53.300
hey, believe in the Lord

01:29:53.300 --> 01:29:55.980
and you shall receive remission of sins.

01:29:55.980 --> 01:29:58.140
And what are we telling people out so early today?

01:29:58.140 --> 01:29:59.860
Well, there's one difference.

01:29:59.860 --> 01:30:01.700
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

01:30:01.700 --> 01:30:03.700
and you shall receive remission of sins.

01:30:07.060 --> 01:30:08.940
And what do they mean by believe?

01:30:08.940 --> 01:30:12.260
Well, you just trust in God.

01:30:12.260 --> 01:30:14.580
In the Old Testament, they trust, hey, God

01:30:14.580 --> 01:30:17.280
is gonna provide himself a sacrifice for my sin.

01:30:17.280 --> 01:30:18.460
And then in the New Testament, we go,

01:30:18.460 --> 01:30:21.180
oh, I'm trusting in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ

01:30:21.180 --> 01:30:22.180
for my sins.

01:30:22.180 --> 01:30:24.380
And so it's the same thing.

01:30:24.380 --> 01:30:27.180
And so salvation has always been saved.

01:30:27.180 --> 01:30:29.680
From the moment that people needed being saved,

01:30:30.820 --> 01:30:34.580
it's been salvation by grace through faith.

01:30:34.580 --> 01:30:37.180
And until the great white throne judgment,

01:30:37.180 --> 01:30:40.220
it's gonna be salvation by grace through faith.

01:30:40.220 --> 01:30:41.320
Let's go ahead and bow our heads in a word of prayer.

01:30:41.320 --> 01:30:42.700
Do you have any father I thank you for this day, Lord,

01:30:42.700 --> 01:30:44.540
I thank you for everything you've done for us, Lord.

01:30:44.540 --> 01:30:46.320
We thank you that the Bible is clear

01:30:46.320 --> 01:30:49.860
that salvation has always been by grace through faith

01:30:49.860 --> 01:30:52.220
and that your death was not in vain

01:30:52.220 --> 01:30:54.980
and that we can go out and preach the gospel

01:30:54.980 --> 01:30:56.940
and people can be saved forever.

01:30:56.940 --> 01:31:00.220
Even in a different dispensation

01:31:00.220 --> 01:31:03.300
or even in a different time, doesn't matter when, Lord,

01:31:03.300 --> 01:31:05.460
people can always be saved by believing in you, Lord.

01:31:05.460 --> 01:31:07.220
In dear Jesus' name, amen.

01:31:09.700 --> 01:31:12.460
All right, if you wanna take your hymn rolls,

01:31:12.460 --> 01:31:15.500
we're gonna turn to page number 363.

with a wrench, please close us on word of prayer.

01:33:40.740 --> 01:33:43.180
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you God for this church,

01:33:43.180 --> 01:33:45.740
thank you for the gift of salvation.

01:33:45.740 --> 01:33:47.380
It's always been the same throughout history,

01:33:47.380 --> 01:33:49.620
Lord, I pray God that you will help us

01:33:49.620 --> 01:33:51.740
get many people safe this year

01:33:51.740 --> 01:33:55.380
and we want them to be alive in this church.

01:33:55.380 --> 01:33:58.220
I pray you bless us and bless the council

01:33:58.220 --> 01:33:41.500

Amen. Amen.
