Paul does one of those nice tricks again and shows us where he's going with this whole chapter 10 by bringing us to a conclusion that tells us how he's been arguing and reasoning things before the conclusion so that's what we look at right now Collin Koch and how it happens here this is a broadcast on the good news thank you very much for joining me today you're listening to a broadcast that trains faith in the good news of the gospel as we train our faith we learn how to break through various addictions and struggles we have various difficulties in feeling we have any worth to ourselves because God in Christ has given us our worth now and also the conflicts that come into our lives that make us feel that we're being punished all we're we are not being blessed we break through those kinds of attitudes by a faith that says Christ is my righteousness and all things work together for good it's a wonderful message and it enables you to know how to function more effectively in life because all of us are struggling with functioning aren't we one way or another and it also of course gives us the hope the Gospel does have eternal life in Jesus so listen to the program if you can regularly Monday through Friday at 10 o'clock in the evening or repeated at 10 in the 4 in the morning on Calle t.t.

So here we have Paul saying this. 4 with the hot one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made on to salvation for the scripture says Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek for the same lord over all is rich to all who call upon him for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now this brings us to a very important conclusion it shows us that Paul by this conclusion Paul shows us that he is demonstrating. That God has brought salvation to where ever he wills one group or the other Going to the Gentiles at one time and this group of Gentiles at another time and that group of Jewish people at another time God is not pinned down to a lineage a physical lineage from Abraham that's Paul's point here. Remember want Romans Chapter 10 is all about. Romans Chapter 10 is the link as I've said several times now between Romans 9 and Romans 11. Paul in Romans 9 is explaining to us how God is at work in his salvation process he is electing people from various groups of the world to become exhibits of his wonderful mercy so that they may be exhibits or witnesses to the mercy that God will give to other people people are elected not in the sense that they are elected whereas others are lost and not chosen but rather they are elected to reveal to the rest of the world that they too are elected and that election involves As I said week ago I would say by now that election involves faith watch shall we say then Paul says in verse 30 of chapter 9 the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness attain to righteousness even the righteousness of faith they weren't even looking for righteousness they heard the good news of God because God revealed that good news to them and they received it by faith and the act of receiving by faith is God's act in us of electing that's crucial to understanding the book the trap Chapter 9 of Romans so then Paul goes into more detail of how this faith takes place and he says Do not say in your heart as I mentioned to you the other day who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down or who will go down to the grave to bring him up because the word is right near you in your heart and on your lips if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead you will be saved. A wonderful simple gospel incredibly simple surprisingly to simple as I mentioned the other day to some people because they think of Paul as very rational and complex and difficult to understand but no he is not really he has come with the good simple message of Christ having stood in for the human race taking the guilt and shame of our brokenness upon himself dying for it in judgment and rising again on our behalf to be a new humanity for us we will be resurrected in his humanity we are saved in his humanity not ours so then Paul is explaining to us or our reemphasizing that with the heart we believe and to righteousness not with the mind not with the intellect not with the understanding but with the heart and when Paul is referring to the heart here he's referring to the place where we have faith for with the heart one believes on to righteousness we are believing something very specific Don't forget that it's not general belief it's not belief in yourself it's not belief in God in a very general vague sense it's of a belief in God in a very specific way that God has brought righteousness to us in Jesus and we acknowledge it in a hot and in our mouth for this is the conclusion again the Scripture says Who ever believes on the on him will not be put to shame so you can see now that Paul in this conclusion is spreading the the Grace all over the world who ever it is who calls on him will not be put to shame. For there is no distinction he says between Jew and Greek this is Paul making it clear that God's plan of salvation has not failed for Israel. For God is working with different groups 1st of all and that lineage between Abraham and us is not a limit to him because anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved but then you see we are tempted to think that therefore salvation is within our hands we call upon the name of the Lord but no be careful because salvation is in the hands of God Who elects and that election is putting within our hearts a faith that leads us to call on the name of the Lord. Always remember that your salvation has been brought about by God's act that's what he makes clear in chapter 9 when he says in verse 16 so then it is not of Him who will nor of him who runs but of God who shows mercy When God shows mercy he puts faith in your heart he lets you know that he has elected you why is this so important not simply to get a good theological idea of how God does things but for you and me to be able to stand firm when everything falls apart when our sins mount up to heaven so high that we feel that we have sinned away the day of grace that there is no help left when you are in that kind of situation you remember. That it is God who elect it is not of you who will it is not your will power and the strength of your will the drug determines your salvation yes you called upon the name of the Lord but why and how did you come to call on the name of the Lord when somebody else didn't because God put His Spirit within you and chose you not because he chose you as opposed to somebody else but he chose you to represent him to somebody else. And that is how the wonderful Gospel works God is not going to save people's through angels but through human beings who will experience His grace because he puts that grace within us. Now this is important for us to understand so that we will not be overwhelmed by our own humanity our humanity is a block between God and man. It is a block between us and God until God by His power through Jesus Christ breaks through that block and he is fully able to do that the Scripture then says whoever believes in Him on him will not be put to shame for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek Now when Paul says between Jew and Greek he's between He's talking about between the chosen people the people of Israel and the rest of the world the Greek the word Greek here is used to refer to the rest of the world Paul says God makes no distinction. How good is that because you and I know that some of us feel that we have no goodness in us and we are worse than anyone else in the world. Some of us have felt that we are under enormous disadvantage. That somehow we have an upbringing that has weakened our sense of. Discipline and willpower and ability to function well in this world some people are addicts in a way that is almost impossible to break the habit because of the wounded Innes of their childhood but in God's eyes there is no distinction he is not limited by our weaknesses that's so important and this lines up remember with the Romans Chapter 3 where Paul says there is no difference verse 22 for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and being declared innocent freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus and so if you feel you've gone too far if you feel you are too bad for God If you feel that there is no hope left for you remember that salvation is the instrumentality of God not you and God is Love and God is mercy and he is putting faith in your heart even now as you listen to this broadcast take out and say to God And yes I believe that Jesus is my salvation and that not even my addictions will get in the way of your love.

Glad you could join us today for the concept of faith broadcast this program is dedicated to teach you how to put the word of God to work so that it will make a positive difference in the everyday circumstances of your life and. Charles caps . Is a substance of things ha. Ha. So this is why it's important it's very important to have hope. Now you remember Abraham the Bible says that when there was no hope Abraham believed in hope. Missing there may be something you in that situation the doctors may have told you the no hope for you medically. Well knew what Abraham did go to the Word of God get you some hope. Now see what I mean but no hope nor hope Naturally Speaking see see certain things doctors can't do thank God for doctors they've been able to do a lot of things. But there are certain things they will tell you we limit we just frankly limited and when we've done what we can do that's all we can do. Abraham when there was no natural hope now you've got to realize here's a man that was 75 years old when God talked to him about the promise job and then 24 years went by that he had the problems all this time had the promise all the time 24 years went by and he still does now on the promise job. Now they counted teamed up together and decided hip God out you know this. But not get into that but anyway we come up with an issue and we've been paying for it ever since but 24 years later when a broom is 99 years old God appears to him and says that I am Almighty God. And he says I've made you the father made in Asia. You got to be kidding. I mean the man's 99 years old God said I've already done it. See to believe he is the way Jesus is talking about believing going to all things whatever you ask in prayer believing you shall receive you've got to consider it down. As far as the spirit room is concerned now don't care that over in the natural get yourself in trouble say well if I believe that God is met my needs and I believe it's already done then I'll just go ahead and write this faith chick. Not a faith take it's a hot chick. Where I'll do this and in God I have to put the money in the bank because you see that proves I had faith that may prove you were ignorant. Nessie the Bible does say faith without corresponding action is did but half or can you go with the corresponding action as far as you have manifestation. It's all right to rat chick. Even when the money is not in the bank but put it in the dresser drawer and don't need a lip to get the money in the bank somebody said well God had put the money in the bank before the check gets there though you be in jail before God puts the money anyway so be careful and I don't take what I'm saying is considered as done and go out and do something foolish I'm talking about done in the spirit realm you have a new ruling inside that I know or that I know that I know that I know that my God has already met my need is just a matter of it being manifest see positive in that area now the only way you can get that way is to study meditate the Word of God. Now do everything else you can do if it's a financial need you know sometimes people say well I'm a believer God numbers go on said I am not even look for a job. Waiting for my ship to come in. Have you said. If you hadn't seen one out I got news for you there's another scripture that says he promised a 100 fold return. But a 100 times nothing is nothing. God most applies our seed sown if we don't so we don't really so be careful in that they don't take something that's been said and just say well obviously going to pull this over into the natural real and I'm just going to act like that it's already done you know like brother to surveil said one time he said God had to act like a good airplane guard go out here and sit on the runway and hold my arms or feet. But has some of the ridiculous things that people do some think it's faith in a lot of this foolishness. But what I'm saying is that it gets in grafted into your spirit like it did Abraham neighbor Ham said the Bible says concerning Abraham when there was no hope. He believed in hope see there was no natural home see your accountant may have told you no hope for you financially. Bankrupt mother will bid the mayor said no natural hope for you will go through to God get you some supernatural hope final have dogs it about your finances. Now is not enough to just find out what God said about it you've got to get it in grafted into it by meditation by speaking the word and in the area of finances but doing what the word said to do so you have to activate a promise. The promise of Luke 638 given it shall be given has to be activated by giving before you can confess that if you're. In flippin for 19 which we all like to quote you must be a giver like the flippin church was or that Scripture is not for you. They gave wants in the game on the false necessity even sacrificial easy. So she there are some things that we need to learn about that Abraham it says of him that he consider not his own body now did know the words he wouldn't consider the thing that disagreed with the Word of God now see when you give in the washing machine breaks down and when something else happened you see Abraham wouldn't consider that . He just let it go where God words it this. Seen as he begun by experience he said I know a lot of folks that were 75 years old never did have a child but he decided to believe in hope when there was no hope natural See believe in God is a decision you make. You found out what he said and you got to make a decision where you go believe it or not now if you do not believe it said Christians the 4th chapter verse 13 says we believe in therefore speak Paul is quoting an Old Testament Scripture Psalm 116 verse 10 where Psalms David said I believe and therefore speak. Now if you realize that you always do speak what you believe. See out of the bunch the heart the mouth speaks now you may pray a beautiful prayer that sound like faith but what you said on Monday morning was no what you believed in what you prayed on Sunday night. Are you listening to him so see he quoted the scripture that David said I believe and therefore speak he says We also believe and therefore speak he says we having the same spirit of faith See that's the way faith does faith when it believes it speaks so what you are really believing is what you're talking daily not necessarily what you prayed that night so check up on when you pray and then you say and see if you get to say and then you pray and again. Because there is power in positive faith the Bible says that Abraham was fully persuaded How did it become fully persuaded he became fully persuaded by saying what god's it now I see a broom was I keep saying neighbor how me was a broom at that time when God appeared to him in 70 chapter of Genesis when he was 99 years old. He said to him I have made you the father minute Nations and he said that your name shall no longer be a broom but Abraham. That mean father of a multitude now he's 9 and years old. And you know what God did it change his name so that Abrams would have to go tell everyone that he met on the father nation did he look like the father nation did he feel like the father nation did it about I think he was a father nations other than God. Didn't matter Dave Brown for the anybody else believed it or not he made a decision to believe in God based not only experience but only the word of the Living God. And see that's why I say that it's always dangerous to go by experience because everybody has experienced things that will prove to you that God's Word won't work. See those people even tell you Well an average redeemed from the curse then nobody would ever be sick or nobody would ever be poor Oh let me ask you something did Jesus redeem us from scene Yes he died for the sinner. Jews this is the cure for the same problem. But can anybody say and certainly they can you sin if you want to this salvation work if you want my experience you can prove that sound mention that work. Is salvation for everyone or yes it's very wrong did everyone get saved No Do you ever know many instances where salvation didn't keep somebody from going to hell. You know a lot of people that didn't receive salvation I even know some that did and went back in the same. Zip through salvation none were no it proves they didn't work. So see if you go by experience you prove his salvation didn't work but thank God it does. Abraham believed God it was imputed to him for Rochester's he became fully persuaded that what God has promised he was able to perform. Yes Jesus said are all things whatsoever you ask in prayer believing you shall receive. Do you believe one of the major problems in the body of Christ and I know in my life for years was that I just prayed about everything before I was ready to pray about it somebody said well it just takes much prayer Well that's true we should pray much but we ought to be ready to pray before we pray because Jesus said all things whatsoever you ask in prayer believing you shall receive Now that is the will of God that the things you pray about you receive but you see the determination of what you pray about should be governed by the Word of God You should be praying for something the Word of God said that you shouldn't have we should know the will of God before we pray because if you don't know God's will before you pray it is impossible for you to pray the prayer of faith it's impossible to pray in agreement and believe like Jesus says to believe here if you do not know the will of God concerning the matter your praying about. So I'm convinced that there's been much prayer given to things that we had no knowledge on earth we had no understanding of the Scriptures or the basis for all we were praying for that for it destroyed our faith instead of bringing us the results that we were seeking thank you so much for joining us for the concepts of broadcast a day now this is the last day footsie day off for number 72362 cd's for $15.00 plus $4.00 postage and handling and titled reciprocal truce now it's important to understand that when you began to release faith in words and say what the words said about you you're going to eventually create faith for that promise given it shall be given to do you good measure press down shaken together running over show me and given to your bosom there is abundant in the LACMA God is meant money to according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus because I've given it's given to me the opposite into that truth is that if you don't you bound to flee you won't receive bound to flee it will be taken away from you even that which you have if you hold back more then it is meet in other words there are the reciprocal to ever truth fear is the reverse your of faith fear will cause you to say what the devil says and proclaim we're not going to have enough water are we going to do Jesus said take no thought by citing what show we eat what show would require with shall we be clothed in other words keep it on the positive side say I know what we're going to do gas is a $1.75 a gallon we're going to believe God for the $1.75 the same way we believe for a dollar gas back years ago if you got the good word in your heart and you speak the Word of God out of your mouth you call us good things to come to pass in your life if you're always speak a negative negative things will happen to you.

Welcome to buy the line was Dr Ralph a Yankee Arnold pastor of Calvary Community Church. Clearly. Through the radio and the Internet. Make it possible to continue on the. 805763771. On the. Page that you will enjoy our commitment to the clear. Message will be a blessing to you and your family. It's going to get better and better right. Now if you'll notice. This is where we are right now. Everything has happened just like God said it would take place. Just like he said he would he was taken up into heaven and the Bible says that we are now in this period of time called the Church of the Grace Age But then right after us after we are taken out of this world. The worst period of time upon the earth is right ahead of us so if this is true and the rector's close then the world has got to be said. How in the world. You will have peace in the world. In the Muslim world. And to the Muslim world. They are looking for their 12th man their e-mail on you know they come become on the scene and they're going to conquer the world did you know the Bible talks about somebody coming on the scene in the last days and he'll claim that he is God and demanded everybody worship Him So anyway this is where we're headed I want to take your Bible and turn to the book of 1st Corinthians in chapter 15 1st Corinthians in chapter 15. There's many miracles in the Bible I would love to have been there and seen some of these miracles but if I live long enough to see a great miracle the America the Rapture not rupture rapture I believe everyone who has trusted Christ as Savior will be changed in a moment a twinkling of an eye and caught up to meet the Lord in the year that's those that are believers in Jesus Christ regards to where they are on the face of the year and so there's an interesting statement made here in verse $51.00 behold I show you a mystery this is a truth that's been hidden in times past but now revealed for the 1st time a mystery we shall not all sleep I wonder what that means means that we will not all physically die there is a time coming which I believe it right ahead of us we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed so those that are alive and live in a more told body will put on immortality. Bodies that have already died and placed into the grave and they have been absent from the body present with the Lord then corruptible well put on in corruption and the Bible says when this happens then shall be brought to pass the say in death where is the grave where is die victory because we skate the grave and weeks the sting of death we won't die so those 2 things is something that we ought to be thankful for the Rapture will take place and we will not see death I believe that that time has come in very very soon what it says in verse 52 in a moment in the twinkling of an eye here we are sent here to church minding our own business doing our thing and all of a sudden the Rapture takes place and when it takes place we're out of here and change in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. For the trumpet shall sound of the dead shall be raised in corruptible and we shall be changed now we know that you know we talk about the 7 feast in the book of Leviticus Chapter 233 of them happens in the spring so you have Christ came into the world and was a Passover lamb and then he came back from the den. And then the Pentecost 50 days later. So those 3 fifths of are taken place now there are a few more coming they call them the fall feast and in the fall there's some feast that's going to take place and one is going to be when you hear the trumpet because the trumpet Not only will we be taken out of here but it's also like a gathering of the children of Israel it's going to be because there's going to be war or something important going to take place and then the Jews usually have a time of. Them's sorrow looking at those things that they've done and how to correct it and get things better and so God is really going to give him something to think about because it going be a move to a now late the Jews knowledge the nation of Israel so it's going to be a very terrible time upon the earth in this part of time and then you talk about the Feast of Tabernacles where in the Old Testament they would do this but it was to remember that you used to be in the wilderness and God took you in brought you out in you lived in him so that when you get into the land you remember where you were so that you'll appreciate where you are and then there's going to be when Christ comes back and he Tabernacles among them here now he tabernacle here when he came in the flesh and it says and the Word became flesh and dwelt among those among the tabernacle among us here he going to come and he's going to be here doing the 1000 years upon the year so God has broken down various periods of time we call them dispensations and how God deals with a particular person in our group of people regarding responsibility and consequences if we fail well in every dispensation man. And so we've got one more ahead of us now some people say that this year belongs back there under the law but it is a period of time it's a 7 year period of time in. It is in the future but not too far in the future I don't believe I believe that's going to happen very soon now if you're Notice in verse 54 so when this chorus shall have put on in corruption and this mortal shall put on immortality then chappie brought to pass the say and that is written Death is swallowed up and think oh death where is the I stink great whereas I victory cause we're going to escape the bodies that are in the grave of God be made in corruptible right now they are corrupted we did are alive more cold mean subject to death but we won't die we shall not all sleep and will be changed in a moment the twinkling of an eye caught up to meet the Lord in the year so that's why he says thanks be to God which give us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ we often ask the Lord deliver me from this problem this problem this health problem this financial problem you know these people problems and all the problems Well lo and behold one day God is going to be literally give you the total victory you can take out of here when he takes us out of here we win because you have just received a total victory on sin you have to worry about that no more the great you don't have to worry about that no more because you see his victory is put to your account but we're waiting for the day when he comes back and literally takes us out of here a great victory that's why he says in verse $58.00 since this hasn't happened yet but it's going to so 1st Corinthians is a chapter on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and he says because we preached on to you the gospel unless you have be lead in vain and the only way you can be leave in vain or trust Christ in vain is that he didn't come back from the dead. But did he come back from the dead yes because he came back from the dead our preaching is not in vain our faith is not in vain our hope is not in vain therefore because he left he's coming back but before he get back and we're outta here he says in verse 58 Therefore my beloved brethren be steadfast. On movable always a bound in the work of the Lord for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord it is not in vain in this period of time to continue keep serving the Lord because this day the Rapture is fast approaching and if you look at the things that are happening right now in the world you can see that turning your Bible to the book of 1st Peter 1st Peter and Chapter one 1st Peter chapter one. Verse Peter chapter one and notice here something in verse 11. And verse 11 it makes the statement concerning the Old Testament prophets. And start to verse 10 he said of which salvation the prophets Old Testament have inquired and search diligently who prophesied up the grace that should come on to you. Or what manner of time the spirit of Christ which was in them did signify when it testified before hand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow the sufferings of price as the cross Mount Calvary the glory that should follow is over here when Christ comes back in power and great glory this is when every eye will see Him The Rapture is not the same Matthew knew nothing about the rapture people read in the book of Matthew and one was taken and one was left well they never read the rest of it or Jaffer 17 they don't see that the ones that are taken in those scriptures are taken to judgment they're not taken up in a rapture. And they are destroyed and these are not destroyed the rapture your caught up to meet the Lord in the year in Matthew they're taken to be destroyed and it uses several illustrations like the flood they were destroyed and like lot they were destroyed and so Christ is coming back in power and great glory always repeat these 2 things separate one is revelation when he's revealed in power and great great every eye shall see Him This is when he comes back here at the end of the tribulation period where he comes for us is in a moment the twinkling of an eye and were content to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord so will always be with the Lord after this so here makes a statement in verse 11. They had problems time to distinguish between the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow because they saw all these 2 things mentioned in the Old Testament they could not see all of this that took place in between and so they did not see the Rapture is found in the Old Testament but their pipes in the Old Testament and a lot of types in the Old Testament look there in the book of Hebrews in Chapter 11 Hebrews chapter 11 and you peruse Chapter 11 and you'll notice there is a verse here that talks about a man by the name of in c. There in verse 5 by faith. Was translated that he should not see death now that is some people say a type. The rapture before the judgment upon the year it is a good possibility that it is a good guy because in the Old Testament there were a lot of heights of things that you know our stories about in the New Testament we have the doctrine as we said before he says in the testimonies of the Lord are sure making wise the simple the testimony it means all those stories in the Old Testament is to make us wise gives us illustration the New Testament gives us doctrine they both say the same thing but one is told in stories in the other one is told in the doctrinal truth so when you want to understand some kind of a doctrine there is a story in the Old Testament that is a type of that doctrine so you take nation of Israel Israel with a real person Israel and Jacob had some sons and they became the 12 tribes in the o.b.o. You got the nation and God dealt with Israel as though is right was a person. Talks about Israel as an individual even though it was a whole nation and the promises that God made to the miracle child that was born Abraham and Sarah that is like a picture of the man in the New Testament who cross crisis savior he is born of God and He is always the child of God He cannot be annihilated Israel cannot be an hour later though where they can chase and whip him but there's always a rim nent So you have a story in the Old Testament that teaches the eternal security of every b. Lever you also have a lot of thing to go to Daniel you can go to so many things and it talks about stories in the illustrations that will teach you some good Bible truth and your own test in the new 10 in the Old Testament you have the teaching of a guy named and Aleck invited her to Emma lek. Is a type of the flesh. As a type of the flesh the Bible says that God One of them wiped out this is how come Saul got into trouble because he wouldn't do it and Samuel comes along takes a sword and heat away yeah going to pieces that's how you supposed to deal with the flesh and the new test we have the flesh is that all sinful nature that you have it's supposed to be crucified but there's an Old Testament story the Bible tells us that even Moses when he built the tabernacle in the wilderness he says that after the pattern of what he saw in heaven and so in the book of Hebrews in chapter 9 it says that there is a real temple a real mercy seat in heaven of which Moses built the one upon the earth as a pattern after there's a real one up there and so there's a shadow and as I said before if the light was over there shining real bright and it was dark if you could see my shadow What in the Old Testament there's the shadow but they couldn't really distinguish everything because you see all they had was the shadow and the shadow puffed about the sufferings of Christ the shadow of the pot the guru that should follow but you see when Christ pain you don't need the shadow. You've got the real person so we have Christ which is better then the law all of the Old Testament God given to something better so you find that in the book of Hebrews in chapter 7 so there's a lot of good things that God gives to was but there are stories in the Old Testament and some of these things help us to see this look in verse 5 by faith in it was translated that he should not see death and was not found because God had translated him for before his translation he had this testimony that he please God would be neat if everybody would please God so he just take us home. Well then there would be nobody left except the worst of the crop and then who's going to win all the other people to the Lord God is picking flowers here and there and he's taken people out of here but one day he's going to come and get a harvest and so he says he had this test where he pleased God but without faith it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him or seek to please him so he Chapter 11 is to teach us how to live by faith so in the book of 1st Corinthians Chapter $1558.00 therefore be steadfast unmovable always a bound in the work of the Lord afford much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord your labors not in vain but your labor is according to your faith and your faith is because you believe what God's word says and your faith means you must be lead that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek to please him so you study the Word of God so that you can learn how to please the Lord so in Hebrews Chapter 10 verse 35 when you make this statement casting not away therefore your competence which hath great recompense of reward so you labor and God going to reward you but your labor is because of your work and your work is because of your competence your confidence is because of your faith if you believe what God says so until this day happens we should be found serving the Lord with all our heart because we're running out of time and because we believe that that's what we do now and 2nd Peter chapter 2 we're going to a quick 2nd Peter chapter 2. 2nd Peter chapter 2 there's an interesting little tidbit here for you. And he talks here about a problem that somebody had in the Old Testament you see there in the 1st 7 and delivered just a lot doesn't mean he was the only one delivered it means that Lott was justified it means he was a believer in Jova and he had trusted in job. Just like Abraham believed God and it was counted on him for righteousness I don't believe Abraham was the only one. But the Bible talks about how that God got him out of the city of Sodom and Gomorrah and then God rained down fire and brimstone and destroyed those places burnt them up ignited the fire big explosion and people died but that didn't happen until God got his man out of there and your notice here in verse 7 and delivered just lot vexed with the filthy behavior of the wickets for that right just man dwelling among them who was a good while in among the people and saw them in good morrow and by being there and seeing and hearing it vexed his soul not like put a curse upon you you're not a blessed man and therefore because of what he saw and because of what he heard he was not the testimony that he should have been I don't believe he probably should have been there but remember he made his decision because of the watered plains and he gave the leftovers day brought him you see is not always best to try to choose the best in this world it's part of the world go but what God wants you to have he would been better off going the other way but he didn't do it but look what he says . It says and from day to day with their lawful deeds the Lord know of how to day live or the godly out of temptation and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished the Lord know of how to deal live ver the godly out before the day of punishment upon the earth not take your Bible and turn to the book of 1st us alone aeons and chapter 4 1st us alone Ian and chapter 4 1st us alone in chapter 4. And you know from verse 13 down the verse 18 about. The rapture and why we should not go as those who have no hope now we have sorrow but we know we will see those people again and remember whenever it talks about in the Old Testament that so and so died and he was gathered unto his father's gathered into his father's Well that means that when they left he and they gathered unto their father than their fathers must be somebody they know because the not the same one then what's the value of saying that in it's another place and so therefore they're not just dead men the grave and there's no more to it no it means that they're still alive. God is not the God of the dead he is the God of the living and you mentioned this to the Pharisees in the Sadducees But in verse the Thessalonians he talks about here in verse 16 the Lord himself shot be sent from heaven with a shout voice of the archangel with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise 1st then we which are alive shall remain and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord and some people think that you know doing the kingdom God's people may not be in there if they're not faithful Well then if Christ is going to be here so shall we ever be with the Lord wherever he is where I'm going to be well all be together when he comes back in the rapture it doesn't say he coming back just to get the faithful he's coming back to get his church his body his bride and he says in heaven the whole church is named both in heaven and earth so we have Christ who is the head and the body which is the believers and what he's going to do is join the body with the head and I don't think that body is ever going to be severed from the head ever again. But he makes this statement here in Chapter 5 like in chapter 5 and verse $34.00 when they shall say peace and safety then sudden destruction come upon them and prevail upon and upon a woman which they shall not escape but you brother and are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief your all the children of light and the children of the day and we are not of the night nor of Darn you know you can get a little confused with all this but let me just kind of simplify. This is a day this is a day. So what separates 2 days is a night. This is a night and so we are of the day we and us they and them are of the night so whenever this period of time comes they are the one that will be here when the thief in the night comes this is not so much the thief in the night a thief in the night is over here but regardless there is 2 days separated by and night this will be the worst period of time upon the face of the earth and its coming but look what it says in verse 9 for God hath not appointed unto wrath but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ that word salvation there is means in reference to the liberals because God has not appoint us to this period of time the wrath upon the year but we are going to beat the livered she's already talking to believers for we're not on the how to be saved from hell this is talking about a period of time that's come in the wrath that coming upon this earth and you and I earlier than at a very very interesting exciting period of time because there is going to be such darkness upon this earth the anti-Christ is coming and body are we ready for an anti-Christ right now.
