A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

Why Did God Create You?

THERE ARE MEN THAT BELIEVE IN THE BIG BANG THEORY. THEY BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD CAME INTO EXISTENCE BY CHANCE. BUT, THEY NEVER MENTION HOW BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED IS THE SOLAR SYSTEM. NEITHER DO THEY MENTION THE DESIGN OF MAN, AND BIRDS, AND ANIMALS. OTHERS BELIEVE IN THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. IF A MAN BELIEVES THAT HE EVOLVED FROM A MONKEY THAT DOES NOT TROUBLE ME. I BELIEVE THAT GOD CREATED ME, AND IT WAS NOT BY CHANCE. I BELIEVE THAT IN THE BEGINNING, BEFORE THE SUN, AND THE MOON, GOD THE FATHER CREATED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS BLESSED CHILD. I BELIEVE THAT GOD THE FATHER CREATED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, FOR HIS PLEASURE, AND FOR HIS PRAISE, HONOUR, AND GLORY. JESUS CHRIST WAS THE BEGINNING OF CREATION. JESUS CHRIST SAID THESE WORDS CONCERNING HIMSELF.

Rv:1:8: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. WHAT IS A CREATURE? A CREATURE IS SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED.

Col:1:12: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Col:1:13: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Col:1:14: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Col:1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

BELOVED OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, AND THE ONLY GOD THAT EVER SHALL BE FORMED.

Is:43:10: Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Is:43:11: I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, JESUS CHRIST IS THE BEGINNING OF CREATION, THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE, THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, HE WAS FORMED FROM THE WORD OF GOD.

Jn:1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (KJV)

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST IS THE BEGINNING OF CREATION, THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE, THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, FORMED FROM THE WORD OF GOD. FORMED IN THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF THE FATHER.

Heb:1:1: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Heb:1:2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Heb:1:3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

HOLY CHILDREN, GOD THE FATHER CREATED ALL THINGS BY HIS POWERFUL SON, JESUS THE CHRIST. ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM, AND ALL THINGS CONSIST BECAUSE OF HIM.

Eph:3:9: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (KJV)

JESUS CHRIST HAS ALL POWER IN HEAVEN, AND IN EARTH. EVERY THING THAT MOVES DRAWS THAT POWER FROM JESUS CHRIST. WHEN THE WIND BLOWS, OR A CHILD GROWS IT IS BECAUSE OF CHRIST JESUS.

Mt:28:18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (KJV)

LISTEN CAREFULLY, CHILDREN OF LIGHT, YOU WILL NOT HEAR MANY MEN PREACH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. FOR EVERY MAN THAT SINCERELY CONFESSES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD, AND BELIEVES WHAT HE CONFESSES, GOD DWELLETH IN THEM, AND THEY IN GOD.

1Jn:4:15: Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. (KJV)

WHY DID GOD CREATE YOU? GOD, BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, CREATED YOU, AND ME, FOR HIS GLORY, HONOUR, AND PRAISE, AND FOR HIS PLEASURE. THE FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD SAID THESE WORDS.

Rv:4:11: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (KJV)

BELOVED OF GOD, BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, GOD KNEW HIS CHILDREN. ELECTED, SELECTED, PREDESTINATED US TO BE ADOPTED INTO HIS FAMILY. BEFORE WE WERE BORN, BEFORE WE HAD DONE ANY GOOD, OR EVIL. WE FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD. GRACE IS AN UNMERITED FAVOR. WE DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS FAVOR. WE WERE SAVED BY GRACE.

Eph:1:1: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Eph:1:2: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Eph:1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Eph:1:4: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Eph:1:5: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Eph:1:6: To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, SAINTS OF GOD, GOD KNEW ELECTED, SELECTED, PREDESTINATED YOU, TO BE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD. GOD LOVED YOU, AND PLANNED IN LOVE FOR YOU SO THAT ALL THE EVENTS OF THE WORLD WORK TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD.

Rom:8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (KJV)

BELOVED OF GOD, ONLY THE ELECT, THE PREDESTINATED SHALL BE SAVED FROM THE WRATH TO COME. GOD CALLS HIS CHILDREN TO REPENTANCE. IT IS REPENTANCE UNTO LIFE. JUSTIFIES US, GLORIFIES US, TRANSLATES US OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. PREDESTINATED US TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF CHRIST JESUS.

Rom:8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Rom:8:29: For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Rom:8:30: Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Rom:8:31: What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Rom:8:32: He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Rom:8:33: Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Rom:8:34: Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

HOLY CHILDREN IN THIS PRESENT WORLD, THERE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THERE ARE CHILDREN OF SATAN. THE CHILDREN OF SATAN WERE CREATED TO BE TAKEN, AND DESTROYED.

2Pt:2:9: The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

2Pt:2:10: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

2Pt:2:11: Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

2Pt:2:12: But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

THERE ARE MEN, FALSE PROPHETS, THAT WOULD HAVE YOU TO BELIEVE, THAT ALL MEN ARE CHILDREN OF GOD. THEY WOULD HAVE YOU TO BELIEVE THAT GOD LOVES ALL MEN. BUT THAT IS HERESY. GOD LOVES HIS CHILDREN, THOSE THAT BRING HAPPINESS TO HIM. BUT HE HATES THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. BEFORE WE WHERE BORN GOD KNEW US ELECTED, SELECTED, PREDESTINATED US TO BE HIS CHILDREN. PREDESTINATED US TO BE ADOPTED INTO HIS FAMILY. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. ISAAC HAD TWO SONS, TWINS, JACOB, AND ESAU. BEFORE THE CHILDREN WERE BORN, BEFORE THEY HAD DONE ANY GOOD, OR EVIL. GOD SAID, "JACOB I LOVE, BUT ESAU I HATE."

Rom:9:10: And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

Rom:9:11: (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

Rom:9:12: It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

Rom:9:13: As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Rom:9:14: What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

Rom:9:15: For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Rom:9:16: So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

BROTHERS, AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST SPEAKS OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, IN HIS PARABLE OF THE WHEAT, AND THE TARES. WHEN WAS WHEAT MADE WHEAT, AND WHEN WAS TARES, MADE TARES ; IN CREATION. I BELIEVE THAT AT THIS PRESENT DATE THE WHEAT, AND THE TARES ARE BECOMING FULL GROWN. THE WHEAT, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE BECOMING MORE LIKE CHRIST JESUS EVERY DAY. WE DO THOSE THINGS THAT BRING PLEASURE TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. AND THE TARES, THE WEEDS, THE CHILDREN OF THE god OF THIS WORLD, ARE BECOMING MORE LIKE THEIR FATHER, SATAN, DAY BY DAY. IF THE LORD WAS TO SEND HIS ANGELS TO GATHER THE CHILDREN OF SATAN TODAY, SOME OF THE WHEAT, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WOULD BE DAMAGED. THE TARES, THE CHILDREN OF SATAN SHALL BE GATHERED FIRST AT HARVEST TIME, AND BOUND, AND BURNED. THEN WE THE CHILDREN OF GOD SHALL SHINE LIKE THE SUN, IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Mt:13:24: Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Mt:13:25: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Mt:13:26: But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Mt:13:27: So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

Mt:13:28: He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Mt:13:29: But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Mt:13:30: Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

BELOVED OF GOD, WHEN A MAN WILL NOT TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, THE OBEDIENCE OF THAT MAN GIVES GOD GLORY, HONOUR, AND PRAISE. WHEN A MAN WILL NOT BOW A KNEE TO AN IMAGE, ICON, OR IDOL. BUT WILL ONLY WORSHIP GOD. THAT ACT OF OBEDIENCE, GIVES PLEASURE UNTO GOD. I BELIEVE THAT WHEN A CHILD OF GOD WILL NOT DRINK WITH THE DRUNKARDS, WILL NOT CURSE WITH THE BLASPHEMERS, THAT ACT OF OBEDIENCE GIVES GOD PLEASURE. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE PLEASURE TO YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER, GIVE PRAISE, AND HONOUR, AND GLORY, TO HIS CHILD JESUS. JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S DARLING SON, IS WORTHY OF PRAISE FOR IT WAS HE THAT CREATED THE SUN, AND THE MOON, AND THE STARS, AND PLACED THEM IN SPACE IN ONE DAY. IT WAS HE THAT CREATED ADAM, AND PLACED WITHIN ADAM ALL MANKIND IN ONE DAY. ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM, AND ALL THINGS CONSIST BECAUSE OF HIM. YOU HAVE BEEN CREATED CHILD OF GOD, AND YOU SHALL SPEND ETERNITY SOME WHERE.

Ecc 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

SAINTS OF GOD, THERE IS A HEAVEN TO GAIN, BUT THERE IS A HELL TO SHUN. LISTEN CAREFULLY, YOU THAT ARE STILL ON THE PATH TO DESTRUCTION. IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MAN ONCE TO DIE, AND AFTER THAT THE JUDGMENT. BEING YOUNG IS NO ASSURANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT DIE, FOR THE YOUNG DIE, AS DO THE OLD. BEING RICH IS NO ASSURANCE, THAT YOU WILL NOT DIE FOR THE RICH DIE AS DO THE POOR. BEING HIGHLY EDUCATED DOES NOT ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL NOT DIE FOR THE HIGHLY EDUCATED DIE JUST AS THE UNEDUCATED. WE ARE ALL JUST A HEART BEAT FROM ETERNITY. THAT IS WHY I APPEAL TO YOU CHILD OF GOD TO PLACE YOUR FAITH, AND TRUTH IN JESUS CHRIST, AND PLACE YOUR FAITH, AND TRUTH IN THE BLOOD HE SHED ON CALVARIES CROSS FOR YOUR REDEMPTION. CHILDREN OF GOD, IT GIVES GOD PLEASURE FOR HIS CHILDREN TO PROSPER, AND BE IN GOOD HEALTH. GOD INSPIRED APOSTLE ST. JOHN TO RECORD THESE WORDS,

3Jn:1:1: The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

3Jn:1:2: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 2436

BROTHERS, AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, WHEN YOU WERE TRANSLATED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, YOU BECOME A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. NOW, WHEN YOU LAY YOUR HANDS UPON SOMEONE, THE BODY OF CHRIST IS TOUCHING THEM. IF THERE IS SICK AMONG YOU, LAY YOUR HANDS UPON THEM, AND PRAY FOR THEM. THAT THE HEALING VIRTUE MIGHT FLOW FROM THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND HEAL THEM.

1Cor:12:27: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

LET ME CONCLUDE WITH THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE, THE LORD JESUS IS SPEAKING, AND HE SAYS THESE WORDS TO HIS DISCIPLES.

Lk:12:32: Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. (KJV)
