[3:58] The episode of Paul to the Romans, chapter 8, verses 33 and 34. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? [4:17] It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died. Yea, rather, that is risen again. [4:32] Who is even at the right hand of God. Who also maketh intercession for us. The word of God makes it very clear. [4:48] That the Lord has chosen a people. Who are described as the elect. However much people may try to cover up or explain away this solemn and yet great truth. [5:12] It will still remain clear and clearly defined in God's holy word. Whilst some may read through this chapter. [5:29] And consider that some verses might express a wider field. And a more general tendency. [5:42] Yet we are suddenly pulled up, as it were. By these words, who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect. [5:55] There are many charges. There are many charges. That can be laid against us all. There are many charges. [6:10] That the world will have to meet. But whoever shall lay a charge to God's elect. [6:23] There is hope for them. In that it is God that justifies. For Christ. We dwelt upon this verse this morning. [6:36] And we noted. The justification. Which is acceptable with God. Is through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. [6:51] In his redemption. Through the blood of Christ. And also. We have peace with God. [7:06] By faith. In our Lord Jesus Christ. Peace. Is a great blessing. And. [7:19] Is an indication. That we know something of justification. Therefore being justified by faith. We have peace with God. [7:31] Through our Lord Jesus Christ. We should not suppose however. That. [7:43] Because. Of this great blessing. Which is. Which is granted to the election of grace. That they will live loosely. [7:56] There are some people. That. Will say. Well. If the Lord has died for me. He's died for all my sins. [8:10] Therefore. I. Have no need to. Be careful. Whatever I do. That sin will be atoned for. Now. [8:21] Whoever feels like that. We must say. That there's something wrong. Justification. Demonstrates to us. [8:35] The love of God. First of all. In. The father's love. In providing the means of justification. In the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. [8:48] Christ. Now this. If we see it. As we must. As proceeding from the love of God. [9:00] Will surely. Preserve us. From wantingly. Sinning against God. We know. [9:13] To our cost. And to our sorrow. That there are many. Shortcomings. The apostle speaks of the sin. [9:27] Which doth so easily beset us. The. The apostle. The apostle. But even in this. There will not be a willingness. To concede. [9:40] That this is the exception. We. We. Must remember. What is. Declared. [9:52] In the scriptures. The foundation of God. Standeth sure. Having this seal. The Lord. Knoweth them. That are his. [10:03] Now that speaks to us. About election. But then it goes on. To say this. And let him. That nameth the name of Christ. [10:16] Depart from iniquity. Now we shall be short. In our profession. If. We do not seek. [10:27] Great grace. To depart from iniquity. If we believe. That we are delivered. From condemnation. Because of. [10:41] The justification. Brought. For us. By our Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall lay anything. To the charge of God's elect. [10:54] It is God. That justifies. In the Lord's teaching. He tells us. That not one. [11:07] Jot. Or a tittle of the law. Should pass away. Heaven and earth. Shall pass away. But my word. Shall not pass away. [11:19] So when you look. At the life. Of Jesus Christ. You are seeing. A life. Which is meticulous. To. [11:31] The greatest decree. That. As we may interpret it. Every t is. Is crossed. And every i is dotted. [11:44] So. This is the perfection. That was required. By the father. And was rendered. By our Lord Jesus Christ. [11:56] Christ. Now these things. Are important. Alas. That there should be. Many. In the world today. [12:08] Wearing. The name of religion. Or Christian. Who are not thinking people. People. And because. [12:19] They are not thinking people. Therefore. They lose a lot. Because. We read. In the word of God. [12:30] Of those who thought. Upon his name. Now then. If. You are. Charged. With. [12:41] Some. Something. From which you must. Acknowledge. That. You are guilty. Then the consolation. And the hope. [12:51] Revived in your spirit. Will be as you think. Upon his name. A name. Which brings to your attention. Justification. Acceptance. [13:03] With God. Accepted. In the beloved. Who shall lay anything. To the charge. Of God's elect. It is God. [13:15] The justifier. Now this. Will be. The distinct. The distinguishing. Mark. When. The grand. Separation. Comes. [13:26] In the last. Day. Of the resurrection. There will be. The goats. On the left. Hand. And the sheep. On the right. Hand. The goats. [13:38] Will. Have no justification. And perish. In their sins. Whilst the sheep. Of Christ. Will be justified. And clothed. [13:50] With that righteousness. Which Christ. Himself. Has given them. But to look. At the next verse. Who is he. That condemneth. [14:01] We hinted this morning. At some. That would condemn. Condemnation. [14:15] Is not always. In respect. To those things. That. Bring guilt. Upon us. One. [14:26] Remarkable. Example. Of this. Is to be found. When the Lord. Jesus Christ. Professed the truth. As the son of God. And they condemned him. [14:38] For it. Who is he. That condemneth. He had the witness. In himself. That he was the son of God. Now bring that. [14:50] Bear. On. The followers. Of Jesus Christ. Of whom. The scripture says. He that believeth. Hath the witness. [15:00] On him. In himself. There will be those. Amongst the wicked. Whether they be. The wicked. In the congregation. Of the righteous. [15:11] Or the wicked. In the world. Outside. Who will condemn. A person. Because. They profess. By the grace. [15:23] In them. That. They are born again. And are true believers. In Jesus Christ. And true followers. And it may be. [15:34] That some of you. Have met with. With such. That will condemn you. For no other reason. Than. By. [15:46] The knowledge. That you have. And the love. Which you feel. From. And to. The Lord. Jesus Christ. You are able to bear. [15:56] A humble witness. Who is he. That condemneth. And so. The Jews. Condemn. Jesus Christ. And we shall not. [16:08] Be wanting. To find people. Who will condemn. The true followers. Of Jesus Christ. Christ. And they will consider. That those things. [16:21] That. The followers. Of Jesus Christ. Are bound to do. And the path. That they are bound. To follow. Is. Filled with. [16:33] The sin. Of self-righteousness. This. This. Invariably. Is. An ill-conceived. Charge. But. [16:44] Who is he. That condemneth. Now. How shall we answer. Those. That. Condemn. How. [16:56] Did the Lord. Answer. Those. That. Condemn. Him. Well. He suffered. He suffered. He did not. [17:07] Continue his argument. He stated that. Which he knew. To be true. And even if it meant. False condemnation. He suffered. [17:20] As a result. Of. What he had spoken. Which was true. Now. It may be. That. God's children. Will find. This kind of condemnation. [17:32] Because. You see. Those. That. Have a name. To live. Those. [17:43] Who like. To talk about. Salvation. In Jesus Christ. And yet. Whose life. Betrays them. That they have not. The life of God. In their souls. [17:54] The. This is the quarter. From which. You are most likely. To. Be condemned. This is often. [18:08] Intensified. By. The suggestions. Of Satan. In the hearts. Of your enemies. Who. Will rejoice. To see your downfall. Now. [18:21] What is the answer. How shall we go about. Our defense. Who is he. That condemneth. It is Christ. [18:32] That died. Now. In this same. Epistle. We have. Those. Most. Blessed. Words. He was. [18:45] Who was. Delivered. For our. Offenses. And was. Raised. Again. For our. Justification. Whoever. [18:56] Might. Condemn. Us. On. On. Matters. That. That. They. May. Say. They. Have. Good. Ground. And. [19:08] On. Other. Matters. That. They. Have. No. Ground. Upon. To. Lay. A. Charge. Or. To. Bring. Condemnation. Be. [19:18] That. As. It. May. Our. Answer. Lies. In. Just. This. It. Is. Christ. That. Died. Now. [19:28] This. Brings. Us. To. The. Point. As. To. Whether. We. Know. That. Christ. Has. Died. All. Christendom. Of. [19:40] Course. Will. Acknowledge. That. Christ. Died. On. The. Cross. Some. Two. Thousand. Years. Ago. But. [19:51] It. Will. Only. Be. The. Result. Of. What. They. Have. Read. What. What. What. What. Others. Have. Told. Them. That. Surely. [20:01] There. Is. Something. Deeper. To. Be. Known. If. We. Are. Never. To. Be. Shaken. Why. Is. It. That. People. [20:12] Go. Back. After. Having. Apparently. Professed. The. Truth. Of. God. It. Is. Because. They. [20:23] Their. Knowledge. Is. In. Their. Head. And. Not. In. Their. Heart. It. Is. In. Their. Intellect. But. [20:33] Not. In. Their. Emotions. In. Their. Affections. It. [20:44] Is. Christ. That. Died. Now. Do. We. Know. That. Christ. Has. Died. Now. How. Should. We. Know. That. [20:54] He. Has. Died. If. It. Is. To. It. Is. Something. Known. By. Experience. Well. The. Word. Tells. Us. He. Was. Delivered. [21:05] For. Our. Offenses. And. That. Was. Why. Christ. Died. He. Did. Not. Die. As. We. Die. Because. We. Are. Sinners. He. [21:17] Died. Violently. He. Died. As. He. Gave. Up. The. Ghost. But. Not. Until. He. [21:27] Had. Been. Delivered. For. Our. Offenses. And. Had. Dealt. With. Those. Offenses. In. His. His. Own. Soul. Thou. Thou. Hath. [21:38] Made. His. Soul. An. Offering. For. Sin. The. Soul. Is. The. Center. Of. Holiness. [21:48] And. Affection. In. The. People. Of. God. It. Is. Christ. That. Died. So. Then. There. Is. A. Communication. [22:00] From. Heaven. Which. Tells. You. That. Christ. Has. Died. And. When. He. Died. It. Was. Just. [22:11] It. Was. Something. Very. Different. From. An. Ordinary. Death. The. Thieves. That. Were. Crucified. On. Either. Side. Of. The. Lord. [22:21] Jesus. They. Died. But. There. Was. No. Benefit. In. Their. Death. One. Was. Favored. To. Believe. [22:31] That. There. Was. Benefit. In. The. Death. Of. Christ. That. Was. In. The. In. The. Center. What. A. Mercy. It. Is. If. There. [22:42] Has. Been. Given. To. Our. Faith. That. Which. Believes. That. There. Is. Satisfaction. When. [22:52] Christ. Died. Upon. Calvary. We. We. Can. Read. In. The. Genesis. Quite. A. Long. [23:02] List. Of. The. People. Of. God. The. Antediluvians. And. Others. That. Came. After. The. Flood. And. [23:15] We. Read. These. Words. And. He. Died. But. Not. One. Of. Them. Died. In. Such. A. Way. That. They. Could. Redeem. Their. Brother. [23:27] Now. When. The. Lord. Jesus. Died. He. Redeemed. The. Church. Of. God. He. Died. The. Just. [23:37] For. The. Unjust. He. Suffered. In. Their. Lord. Place. Instead. Now. [23:47] It. Is. Christ. That. Died. Do. You. Know. That. Is. That. Is. True. Concerning. You. If. It. Is. So. [23:58] Then. Your. Faith. Will. Fix. Upon. The. Lord. Jesus. Christ. In. His. Death. And. You. Will. Feel. That. [24:09] Through. That. Death. You. Have. Peace. With. God. That. Through. That. Death. Every. Charge. Has. Been. Met. All. [24:20] That. Condemn. You. Can. Give. Me. And. I. Have. Got. To. Be. Silent. God. Because. All. Your. Sins. Have. Been. Washed. Away. All. [24:31] Because. Christ. Has. Died. Now. You know. It. Is. Often. Been. Said. That. No. [24:42] One. Has. Ever. Come. Back. To. Tell. Us. And. You. Can. Find. Many. People. In. The. World. That. Will. Use. That. Kind. Of. Argument. And. [24:53] They. Are. Quite. Content. To. Remain. As. They. Are. But. We. Have. Here. The. Lord. Jesus. Christ. [25:03] That. Died. And. Has. Come. Back. To. Tell. His. People. And. So. We. Read. In. The. Acts. Of. Apostles. [25:14] That. He. Appeared. Unto. Many. To. Whom. Also. He. Showed. Himself. Alive. After. His. Passion. [25:24] By. Many. Infallible. Proofs. Being. Seen. Of. Them. Forty. Days. And. Speaking. Of. The. Things. Pertaining. To. The. Kingdom. Of. God. [25:36] And. These. Blessed. Tidings. Were. Conveyed. To. Those. Whom. He. Had. Chosen. It. [25:47] Is. Christ. That. Died. Yea. Rather. That. Is. Risen. Again. Now. Much. Emphasis. Needs. To. Be. [25:57] Placed. Upon. This. Part. Of. The. Verse. We. Could. Be. Argued. Out. Of. This. Point. That. Christ. Has. Died. [26:08] And. That. By. His. Death. He. Brought. About. Everlasting. Salvation. Unless. We. Have. This. [26:19] Witness. Yea. Rather. That. Is. Risen. Again. Now. You. See. The. Apostle. Takes. The. Point. And. [26:29] Relates. It. To. Justification. Who. Was. Delivered. For. Our. Offenses. And. Was. Raised. Again. [26:39] For. Our. Justification. The. Disciples. To. Whom. The. Lord. Joined. Himself. On. [26:50] The. Way. To. Emmaus. Were. Virtually. Told. All. That. Was. Involved. When. Christ. [27:00] Died. Having. Seen. Their. Downcast. Countenances. He. Said. Unto. Them. [27:10] O. Fools. And. Show. Of. Heart. To. Believe. All. That. The. Prophets. Have. Spoken. Ought. Not. Christ. To. Have. Suffered. These. Things. And. Enter. And. [27:21] To. Enter. Into. His. Glory. And. Beginning. At. Moses. And. All. The. Prophets. He. Expounded. Unto. Them. In. All. The. Scriptures. The. Things. Concerning. Himself. [27:33] From. Which. We. Must. Conclude. That. There. Are. Many. Passages. In. The. Old. Testament. Which. Would. Be. The. Scriptures. To. Which. The. Lord. Referred. And. [27:44] That. Bear. On. This. Point. That. Christ. Died. And. That. He. Is. Risen. Again. The. Fact. That. He. Was. [27:54] Risen. Again. Was. Proved. To. Them. Not. By. Any. Careful. Carefully. Planned. Argument. [28:06] But. Because. Of. What. They. Felt. In. Their. Hearts. They. Heard. His. Words. And. Their. Heart. Burn. Within. Them. Now. [28:17] Can. We. Take. That. Point. In. Our. Own. Experience. So. That. We. Know. That. Christ. Has. Not. Only. Died. Being. Being. Delivered. [28:28] For. Our. Offenses. But. Has. Risen. Again. For. Our. Justification. Because. When. We. Heard. Of. This. Blessed. Gospel. Of. Jesus. [28:38] Christ. It. Has. Had. In. Effect. Upon. Us. It. Is. Difficult. To. Believe. That. People. [28:49] Can. Sit. Under. The. Gospel. And. The. Preaching. Of. It. And. Never. Feel. Any. War. In. Their. Hearts. But. [29:01] There. Will. Certainly. Be. Times. When. The. People. Of. God. Particularly. If. They. Should. Come. Up. To. The. House. Of. God. With. A. Burden. God. [29:16] And. To. To. Such. An. Extent. That. They. Are. Almost. At. Their. Wits. End. Because. Of. The. Persecution. [29:28] That. They. Should. Now. Come. And. Hear. The. Voice. Of. God. Speaking. To. Them. And. Giving. Them. A. Clear. Understanding. That. Christ. Had. Died. [29:39] And. Now. That. He. Had. Risen. Again. When. We. Celebrate. The. Lord's. Supper. We. Celebrate. [29:50] What. We. Call. The. Dying. Love. Of. Our. Lord. Jesus. But. How. Wonderful. For. Us. To. Bear. This. [30:00] In. Mind. That. The. One. That. Died. Is. Alive. Again. And. Is. With. Us. In. His. Presence. At. The. Table. As. [30:11] One. With. Us. He's. Present. Now. Under. His. Wonderful. Name. Emmanuel. Now. Maybe. Some. [30:22] Of. You. Would. Be. Able. To. Tell. Of. Some. Occasions. If. Not. Always. Maybe. Few. Occasions. When. You. Have. Felt. That. Your. Dying. [30:32] Lord. Is. Alive. Because. You. Felt. His. Presence. With. You. And. As. A. Few. Thoughts. Might. Be. Expressed. [30:43] Upon. The. Dying. Love. Of. Our. Lord. Jesus. Christ. So. There. Was. A. Warm. Rose. Up. In. Your. Own. Soul. And. [30:54] A. Confession. Of. Your. Sin. And. May. You. Not. Have. Listen. To. Those. Words. Share. Drop. [31:05] A. Tear. For. Him. For. He. Shed. Many. A. Tear. For. You. Now. You. See. There. Are. Many. [31:15] Tears. Sheldest. Dropped. From. Bereaved. Relatives. But. Those. Relatives. Can. Never. Know. Anything. About. Those. Tears. But. [31:30] That is. The ones. That have. Passed. Away. They are. Dead. And. They are. Finished. With. This. World. But. The Lord. Jesus. Christ. [31:42] He. Knows. Your. Tears. He. Knows. Your. Sorrows. Because. He has. Not. Only. Died. But. He. Is. Risen. Again. [31:52] From. The. Dead. Dead. Yea. Rather. Important. Though. It is. That Christ. Died. It is. [32:02] Of. Greater. Important. Still. That. You. Should. Be. Aware. That. Christ. Is. Risen. Again. Now. The. Apostle. Makes. It. Very. Clear. [32:14] That. Our. Meeting. Together. This. Evening. And. Our. Worship. Would. Be. In. Vain. And. Vagueless. If. Christ. Is. Not. Risen. From. The. Dead. So. [32:26] We. Worship. One. That. Lives. I. Am. He. That. Liveth. And. Was. Dead. And. Behold. I. Am. Alive. Forever. More. Now. [32:37] To. Know. That. Christ. Is. Alive. Is. To. Know. That. Christ. Will. Stand. By. You. As. Your. Defense. When. [32:47] You. Come. Under. Condemnation. From. One. Quarter. And. Another. He. Is. Mine. I. Bought. Him. With. My. Blood. Now. [32:59] The. Lord. Know. It. Them. That. Are. His. He. Know. It. Them. For. Whom. He. Die. And. Let. Us. Be. Quite. Clear. On. This. Point. Lest. [33:10] We. Should. Be. In. The. Errors. Which. Abound. Even. In. The. Present. Day. That. Christ. Had. Died. For. Everybody. His. [33:21] Blood. Was. Shed. For. Everybody. And. It. Was. Just. A. Question. Of. Those. That. Accept. And. Received. Christ. As. Their. Savior. We. [33:33] Are. Persuaded. From. The. Scriptures. Of. Truth. That. The. Lord. Knew. All. For. Whom. He. Died. There. [33:43] Was. No. Nothing. Nebulous. About. It. There. Was. No. Hazy. Rough. Calculations. [33:54] Which. Had. Not. Been. Rounded. Off. As. The. High. Priest. Over. The. House. Of. Israel. So. The. Lord. Jesus. In. [34:05] Aaronic. Style. Had. The. Names. Not. As. Aaron. Of. The. Twelve. Tribes. Of. Israel. On. The. Breast. Blates. But. [34:17] The. Names. Of. All. His. People. Now. It. Will. Be. A. Wonderful. Thought. And. Exercise. To. Your. Faith. When. [34:27] You. Are. Able. To. Believe. That. Your. Name. Was. There. It's. No. Use. It. Being. An. Afterthought. It's. No. Use. For. You. Being. Born. [34:37] In. These. Latter. Days. And. Then. You. Being. Put. To. This. Point. To. Consideration. As. To. Whether. Christ. Died. For. You. [34:48] As. To. Whether. Your. Name. Was. There. We. Are. Dealing. With. The. Grand. Things. Of. God. And. When. Christ. Died. And. When. He. Rose. Again. And. [34:59] Then. It. Was. That. All. The. Names. Of. His. Of. His. Elect. Were. Inscribed. Upon. His. Heart. He. Knew. Everyone. Our. [35:09] Natural. Mind. Of. Course. Cannot. Stretch. To. This. Her. Imagination. Will. Fail. When. We. Try. To. Understand. The. Matter. But. Faith. [35:20] Little. As. It. Is. Will. Be. Strong. Enough. To. Believe. It. To. Be. True. And. When. We. Believe. It. To. Be. True. How. Glorious. Will. That. [35:30] Truth. Be. To. Think. That. My. Name. Insignificant. Not. Worth. Mentioning. Should. [35:41] Be. Inscribed. Upon. The. Heart. Of. Our. Lord. Jesus. Christ. So. That. It. Is. Now. Recognized. That. Our. [35:51] Sin. My. Sin. Your. Sin. Can. You. Say. So. Was. Put. Away. When. Christ. Died. Upon. Calvary. Who. Is. He. That. Condemneth. [36:02] Now. You. See. We. Have. An. Answer. If. We. Have. The. Witness. Of. The. Spirit. In. Our. Own. Hearts. It. Is. Christ. That. Died. Yea. Rather. That. [36:13] Is. Risen. Again. There. Is. The. Fullness. Of. Love. In. This. Work. And. Transaction. Of. [36:24] Our. Lord. Jesus. Christ. Christ. When. The. Spirit. Of. God. Conveys. This. To. You. And. If. You. Have. The. [36:34] Spirit. Of. Christ. Within. You. Then. You. Will. Glow. With. The. Spirit. Of. Love. And. You. Will. Be. Melted. In. Contrition. Before. [36:44] God. That. He. Should. Have. Died. And. That. He. Should. Rise. Again. In. Order. To. Give. You. That. Clear. Understanding. [36:56] That. The. Debt. Has. Been. Paid. And. So. We. Bear. In. Mind. What. Paul. Says. If. Christ. Be. Not. Written. Ye. Are. Yet. In. [37:06] Your. Sins. But. He. Is. Written. You. See. There. Are. Two. Ways. In. Which. People. Die. And. [37:16] We. Shall. Die. One. Of. Either. Die. In. Our. Sins. And. Drop. Into. Hell. Or. [37:26] We. Shall. Die. In. The. Lord. Dropping. Into. The. Hands. Of. The. Hands. Of. Love. And. Mercy. And. Be. Caught. Up. Into. [37:37] The. Heavens. And. So. Shall. We. Ever. Be. With. The. Lord. One. Is. Consigned. To. Eternal. Death. [37:48] The. Other. Is. Is. Taken. To. The. Fullness. Of. Eternal. Life. It. Is. Christ. That. Died. [37:58] Yea. Rather. That. Is. Risen. Again. Now. By. His. Rising. Again. We. Are. Able. To. Read. These. Words. With. Some. Emphasis. [38:09] There. Is. Therefore. Now. No. Condemnation. To. Them. Which. Are. In. Christ. Jesus. Which. Walk. Not. After. The. Flesh. But. After. The. Spirit. In. [38:20] Christ. Jesus. May. Bear. Various. Conclusions. But. We. Would. Just. Mention. This. If. [38:31] We. Are. In. Christ. Jesus. We. Are. We. Are. In. His. Heart. And. Because. We. Are. In. His. Heart. Therefore. We. [38:41] Are. In. That. Place. Where. Is. The. Center. Of. Love. The. Fulness. Of. Love. Has. He. Loved. You. The. Spouse. [38:53] Is. Ask. A. Question. What. Is. Your. Beloved. More. Than. Another. Beloved. Now. People. Speak. About. Jesus. Christ. [39:03] No. Doubt. We. All. In. One. Way. Or. Another. Speak. About. Jesus. Christ. But. Is. He. Different. From. Anybody. Else. This. [39:14] Question. Was. Put. To. The. Bride. Of. Christ. Why. Are. You. So. Moved. Why. Are. You. So. Troubled. Why. Are. You. So. Anxious. What. Is. There. So. Different. About. [39:25] The. Lord. Jesus. Christ. What. Would. You. Say. And. What. Should. I. Say. Because. This. Christ. Has. He. [39:39] And. Unto. Me. Unto. My. Faith. So. That. I. Verily. Believe. That. My. Sins. Are. Put. Away. I. Verily. Believe. That. He. Has. Risen. [39:50] To. Show. These. Things. For. And. To. Give. Me. That. Clear. Understanding. That. I. Am. Justified. Which. [40:01] Will. Need. Justification. In. The. Day. Of. Our. Death. To. Feel. That. We. Stand. In. Him. Complete. Now. [40:13] If. We. Come. Into. The. Blessed. Knowledge. Of. This. Truth. Let. Me. Refer. Back. To. What. I. Have. Already. Said. It. Will. Require. A. Life. Of. Sanctification. [40:26] Now. When. I. Say. It. Will. Require. A. Life. Of. Sanctification. I. Am. Not. Laying. Upon. You. Some. Hard. Rule. Something. Grievous. [40:36] To. Be. Born. If. The. Lord. Has. Done. So. Much. For. You. It. Will. Not. Be. A. Great. Sacrifice. If. Any. Sacrifice. At. All. [40:48] For. You. To. Follow. Him. And. To. Do. Those. Things. As. He. commands. Oh. It. Will. Not. Be. A. Great. Sacrifice. Many. [40:58] People. Were. Regarded. As. Such. There. Are. Those. That. Look. At. The. People. Of. God. And. I. Consider. Them. To. Be. Living. Living. Miserable. [41:09] Lives. Not. Engaging. In. The. Pleasures. Of. This. Life. Not. Pursuing. The. The. Ambitions. Of. This. Life. But. [41:20] The. Lord. Jesus. Said. I. Have. Meat. To. Eat. That. The. World. Knows. Not. Of. Life. And. It. Is. So. With. The. People. Of. God. They. Are. Fed. With. [41:31] The. Bread. Of. Life. And. Their. Thirst. Is. Satisfied. With. The. Blood. Of. Christ. This. Is. A. Strange. Expression. [41:43] But. It. Just. Means. This. That. We. Are. United. To. Christ. And. Therefore. It. Is. His. Death. And. His. Life. Thinking. [41:55] Upon. His. Broken. Body. Thinking. Upon. The. efficacy. Of. His. Shed. God. That. Is. The. Very. Nourishment. Of. The. Soul. It. [42:07] Is. Christ. That. Died. Yea. Rather. That. Is. Risen. Again. Who. Is. Even. At. The. Right. Hand. Of. God. There. [42:19] Are. Certain. Things. Which. God. Has. Joined. Together. In. The. Scriptures. And. There. Are. Three. Things. Here. His. Death. His. [42:30] Atonement. It. Is. Death. His. Resurrection. Showing. For. The. Satisfaction. That. [42:41] Has. Been. Given. By. His. Atonement. And. Now. The. Ascension. Now. Do. We. Believe. That. [42:51] Christ. Has. Ascended. The. Word. Of. God. Makes. It. Clear. Who. Is. Even. At. The. Right. Hand. Of. God. Who. [43:02] Also. Make. It. Intercession. For. Us. Many. Years. Before. When. In. The. Book. Of. The. Psalms. We. [43:12] Read. He. Hath. Ascended. Up. On. High. Having. Led. Captivity. Captive. And. Received. Gifts. For. Men. Yea. For. The. Rebellious. Also. That. The. Lord. [43:22] God. Might. Dwell. Among. Them. Now. Taking. Such. A. Scripture. Can. You. Dduce. From. It. In. [43:33] Your. Own. Soul. Experience. That. Christ. Ascended. Has. He. Received. A. Gift. To. Give. To. You. Has. [43:47] He. Conquered. For. You. There. Is. One. Gift. That. May. Prove. The. Point. Amongst. Others. If. [43:58] You. Being. Evil. Know. How. To. Give. Good. Gifts. Under. Your. Children. How. Much. More. Shall. Your. Father. Which. Is. In. Heaven. Give. The. Holy. Spirit. To. Them. And. Ask. [44:09] Him. Now. Then. You. See. If. The. Holy. Spirit. Has. Been. Given. To. You. To. Take. Of. The. Things. Of. Jesus. And. To. Show. Them. Unto. You. To. [44:19] Quicken. You. To. Instruct. You. To. Lead. You. On. Safely. Then. You. Have. A. Proof. From. The. Scriptures. And. In. Your. Own. Soul. That. Christ. [44:29] Is. Ascended. Into. Heaven. And. Not. Only. So. That. He. Is. One. That. Lives. In. The. Revelation. We. Have. This. Remarkable. [44:40] Word. He. Ever. Liveth. To. Make. Intercession. For. Us. Do. We. Need. Intercession. Do. [44:51] We. Need. One. To. Be. At. The. Right. Hand. Of. God. The. Father. In. Order. To. Speak. For. Us. Well. If. We. [45:01] Are. Sinners. And. We. Have. To. Confess. Our. Sins. To. God. And. We. Should. Remember. How. And. Feel. How. Holy. God. [45:12] We. Should. Want. An. Intercessor. We. Should. Want. One. A. Dazed. Man. As. Job. Speaks. About. That. Is. Between. Us. Both. That. Is. Able. [45:22] To. Put. His. Hand. Upon. Both. An. Intercessor. Well. Now. It. Says. In. The. Verse. Here. Who. Is. Even. At. [45:33] The. Right. Hand. Of. God. Who. Also. Make. It. Intercession. John. [45:44] Speaks. Of. A. Wonderful. Experience. In. The. Revelation. Where. In. The. Fourth. Chapter. We. Read. [45:54] After. This. I. Look. And. Behold. A. Door. Was. Opened. In. Heaven. And. The. First. Voice. Which. I. Heard. Was. As. It. Were. Of. A. Trumpet. Talking. With. Me. Which. [46:06] Said. Come. Up. Hither. And. I. Will. Show. And. Immediately. I. Was. [46:16] In. The. Spirit. And. Behold. A. Throne. Was. Set. In. Heaven. And. One. Sat. On. The. Throne. Now. [46:28] What. A. Blessed. Experience. Did. John. Have. There. Is. A. Great. Deal. Of. Instruction. In. Some. Of. These. Passages. That. Tells. Us. What. Christian. [46:38] Experience. Is. And. Immediately. I. Was. In. The. Spirit. We. Can. Never. Have. These. Kind. Of. Views. Whilst. We. In. [46:48] The. Flesh. To. Be. Carnally. Minded. Is. Death. But. To. Be. Spiritually. Minded. Is. Life. And. Peace. And. [46:59] To. Be. Spiritually. Minded. Will. Be. On. Such. Occasions. When. According. To. The. Sovereign. Purpose. Of. God. Immediately. I. [47:10] Was. In. The. Spirit. Now. Have. We. Been. Favored. With. That. Immediately. I. Was. In. The. Spirit. Maybe. Concerned. Disturbed. [47:21] Tried. Troubled. And. Immediately. I. Was. In. The. Spirit. And. I. Saw. Behold. A. Throne. Was. Set. In. Heaven. And. [47:31] One. Sat. On. The. Throne. How. Important. For. Us. To. Bear. This. In. Mine. There. Is. A. Throne. In. Heaven. And. [47:42] There. Is. One. That. Sits. Upon. The. Throne. Now. What. Does. That. Convey. To. Us. The. Throne. Conveys. To. Us. That. [47:52] The. Lord. Is. King. Jesus. The. Lord. Is. King. And. He. Dispenses. All. Things. Both. In. Heaven. And. In. Earth. There. [48:02] Are. Many. Things. Which. We. Might. Find. Disturbing. As. We. Look. Around. The. World. Today. But. Let. Us. Be. Assured. Of. This. The. [48:15] People. Of. God. Will. Ever. Be. In. Safety. They. Will. Come. Under. God's. Protection. They. [48:25] Will. Ever. Be. In. Safety. Whether. It. Is. For. Life. Or. For. Death. Because. They. Will. Be. Preserved. In. Jesus. Christ. And. Caught. Now. [48:38] Does. This. Cheer. Our. Hearts. This. Evening. Especially. If. We. Feel. That. Our. Sins. Are. Heavy. We. Know. Not. What. To. Do. And. How. To. Approach. Under. God. Since. [48:49] God. Is. So. Holy. Well. There. Is. One. That. Is. At. The. Right. Hand. Of. God. Now. The. Right. Hand. In. The. Scriptures. Sometimes. [49:01] Refers. To. The. Hand. Of. Power. Now. It. Is. A. Blessing. To. Look. At. This. Verse. In. [49:11] This. Light. Who. Make. It. Intercession. For. Us. At. The. Right. Hand. Of. Power. Which. Means. That. [49:21] The. Intercession. Will. Never. Fail. Now. What. A. Blessed. Exercise. To. Our. Faith. This. Is. When. We. [49:31] Come. To. God. Filled. With. All. Our. Troubles. And. Cares. And. We. See. The. Reason. For. Many. Of. Them. That. Is. Our. Sinful. Propensities. And. [49:43] That. We. Feel. Able. To. Cast. Our. Burden. Upon. The. Lord. And. For. A. Remarkable. Prophecy. [49:54] Concerning. Experience. To. Be. Worked. Out. As. It. Is. Noted. In. The. Thirty. Seventh. Psalm. Trust. [50:06] In. The. Lord. And. Do. Good. So. Shalt. Thou. Dwell. In. The. Land. And. Verily. Thou. Shalt. Be. Fed. Delight. Thyself. [50:17] Also. In. The. Lord. And. He. Shall. Give. The. Desires. Of. Thine. Heart. Commit. Thy. Way. Unto. The. Lord. In. Respect. To. Our. Own. [50:27] Spiritual. Concerns. Then. Trust. Also. In. Him. This. Will. Mean. That. [50:38] In. Committing. Our. Way. Unto. The. Lord. At. The. Throne. Of. Grace. We. See. That. There. Is. One. That. Sitteth. On. The. Right. Hand. Of. Power. But. [50:50] Is. Able. To. Project. His. Own. Sacrifice. And. His. Own. Righteousness. Which. Immediately. Makes. [51:00] Acceptable. Your. Feeble. Petitions. And. Confessions. Who. Also. Make. It. Intercession. For. Us. We. [51:10] Could. Never. Prevail. Even. With. The. Best. Of. Our. Confessions. Even. With. The. Most. Able. Committing. Of. Our. Way. To. The. Lord. In. [51:21] The. Deepest. Detail. Even. Though. We. Trusted. Also. In. Him. Accepted. Were. That. We. Trusted. In. One. That. Lives. [51:31] Lives. And. Ever. Lives. For. This. Purpose. Of. Dealing. With. The. Concerns. Of. The. Saints. Of. God. Then. [51:44] We. Read. In. Psalm. 37. And. He. Shall. Bring. It. To. Pass. Is. It. Not. True. To. Say. That. Much. Of. Our. Trouble. Very. [51:56] Often. Arises. Because. We. Get. The. Feeling. That. We. Got. To. Bring. It. To. Pass. But. It. Is. God. That. Brings. It. To. Pass. The. [52:08] God. That. Brings. The. Pardon. Of. Your. Sins. To. Pass. The. Pardon. Of. Sin. Is. Granted. To. Those. [52:18] That. Are. The. Most. Undone. But. How. Much. Time. Do. We. Spend. In. Trying. To. Present. Something. [52:29] That. Will. Influence. God. Now. Then. There. Is. Nothing. That. Will. Influence. God. That. You. Can. Do. He. Will. Look. Down. Upon. In. Mercy. Upon. [52:40] His. Home. Who. Also. Make. It. Intercession. For. Us. Now. These. Words. Will. Be. A. Little. Will. [52:50] Make. Little. Impact. Upon. You. Unless. You. Need. That. Intercession. Unless. You. Come. Before. The. Eternal. God. [53:00] With. All. Your. Great. Need. And. Maybe. There. Are. Your. Enemies. Which. Are. Encompassing. You. Trying. To. Lay. Condemnation. Upon. You. [53:11] Bringing. All. Sorts. Of. Charges. And. You. Seem. To. Have. No. Defense. Well. Let. Us. Be. Assured. This. [53:22] Pride. Almighty. Hand. Is. Raised. For. Our. Defense. The. Right. Hand. Of. Power. The. Right. Hand. That. Is. In. Heaven. And. [53:32] The. Right. Hand. Which. When. Put. For. Also. Make. It. Intercession. For. Us. A. Prevailing. Sacrifice. Not. [53:44] All. The. Blood. Of. Beasts. On. Jewish. Altars. Slain. Could. Give. The. Guilty. Conscience. Peace. Or. Wash. Away. The. Stay. But. Here. [53:54] Is. A. Sacrifice. That. Has. Been. Accepted. The. Lord. Jesus. Offered. Himself. Once. And. Then. Sat. Down. At. The. Right. Hand. [54:05] Of. God. Expecting. Footstool. To. Also. Make. It. Into. Session. For. You. The. Days. Man. [54:15] Between. You. And. God. Even. The. Father. When. You. Know. Not. How. To. Speak. How. To. Present. Your. Case. Here. Is. One. That. Will. Stand. In. Between. Here. [54:25] One. That. Will. Present. Your. Case. A. And. At. The. Same. Time. Present. Your. Case. Together. With. His. Own. Excellency. [54:36] And. Fulness. And. The. Satisfaction. That. He. Has. Given. Unto. His. Father. So. That. You. Are. Assured. Of. A. Favourable. Answer. It. [54:50] Is. Christ. That. Died. Gave. Rather. That. Is. Risen. Again. Who. Is. Even. At. The. Right. Hand. Of. God. Who. Also. Make. It. Into. Session. For. Us. Let. [55:01] Us. Notice. The. Way. In. Which. The. Verses. Are. Expressed. It. Is. Certain. It. Is. Clear. And. The. Apostle. [55:12] Speaks. In. Such. A. Way. That. Under. The. Power. Of. The. Holy. Ghost. He. Leaves. Us. In. No. Doubt. That. It. Is. True. Amen. [55:29] Let us conclude by singing hymn 1136. [55:40] Hymn 1136. Tune Gunod number 699.
