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

GOD HAS SAID THESE WORDS BY THE MOUTH OF HOSEA. HOSEA:4:6 MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. A PERSON CANNOT BE SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES. THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS. LK:16:16 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN: SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, AND EVERY MAN PRESSETH INTO IT. DURING THE DAYS OF NOAH, ONLY NOAH AND HIS FAMILY WERE SAVED . (2PT:2:5 AND SPARED NOT THE OLD WORLD, BUT SAVED NOAH THE EIGHTH PERSON , A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, BRINGING IN THE FLOOD UPON THE WORLD OF THE UNGODLY,) UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WERE SAVED. IS:24:5 THE EARTH ALSO IS DEFILED UNDER THE INHABITANTS THEREOF, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRANSGRESSED THE LAWS, CHANGED THE ORDINANCE, BROKEN THE EVERLASTING COVENANT. 6. THEREFORE THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE BURNED, AND FEW MEN LEFT. TO BE SAVED FROM THE WRATH OF GOD ON JUDGMENT DAY, A PERSON MUST BE OF THE ELECT OF GOD. 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. 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: 5. HAVING PREDESTINATED US UNTO THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN BY JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF, ACCORDING TO THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS WILL. BEFORE WE WERE BORN, BEFORE WE HAD DONE ANY GOOD OR EVIL, GOD LOVED US ELECTED, SELECTED, HAND PICKED US, TO BE HIS VERY OWN. BY GRACE ARE WE SAVED. IT IS ONLY THE ELECT OF GOD ORDAINED TO ETERNAL LIFE THAT SHALL BELIEVE. ACTS:13:48 AND WHEN THE GENTILES HEARD THIS, THEY WERE GLAD, AND GLORIFIED THE WORD OF THE LORD: AND AS MANY AS WERE ORDAINED TO ETERNAL LIFE BELIEVED. JESUS CHRIST HAS THE ONLY NAME UNDER HEAVEN WEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. ACTS:4:12 NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. HOW ARE WE SAVED BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST? BY FAITH IN HIS NAME . ACTS:16:31 AND THEY SAID, BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, AND THY HOUSE. AND BY BEING BAPTIZED IN HIS NAME. ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST WHEN PETER PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO THE MEN OF ISRAEL, AND THEY COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAD CRUCIFIED, THE SON OF GOD. THEY CAME TO THE APOSTLE PETER, AND SAID, "WHAT MUST WE DO?" ACTS:2:38. THEN PETER SAID UNTO THEM, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. 39. FOR THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU, AND TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, EVEN AS MANY AS THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL. TO BE SAVED A PERSON MUST BE OF THE ELECT OF GOD, THEY MUST BELIEVE, AND THEY MUST BE BAPTIZED. THEY MUST REPENT. WHAT IS REPENTANCE? IT IS TURNING FROM DOING YOUR OWN WILL TO DOING THE WILL OF GOD. AND, BEING SORRY FOR THE SINS YOU HAVE COMMITTED. WHY SHOULD A PERSON REPENT? WITHOUT REPENTANCE A PERSON SHALL SURELY PERISH. LK:13:1 THERE WERE PRESENT AT THAT SEASON SOME THAT TOLD HIM OF THE GALILAEANS, WHOSE BLOOD PILATE HAD MINGLED WITH THEIR SACRIFICES. 2. AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO THEM, SUPPOSE YE THAT THESE GALILAEANS WERE SINNERS ABOVE ALL THE GALILAEANS, BECAUSE THEY SUFFERED SUCH THINGS? 3, I TELL YOU, NAY: BUT, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH. WHAT DO CHRISTIANS MEAN WHEN WE SAY THAT WE ARE SAVED? WE MEAN THAT WE ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. ALIVE BOTH PHYSICALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY, FREE FROM SIN, AND FREE FROM THE PUNISHMENT THAT SHALL COME UPON THOSE THAT ARE IN SIN. AND, THAT WE ARE HEIRS OF GOD, AND JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST, IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD; ACCORDING TO THE PROMISES OF GOD. WHEN WE THE ELECT ARE BORN INTO THE WORLD, BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM, WE ARE ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY. 1 COR:15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL IS DEAD, WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN, WE MUST BE BORN OF WATER, AND OF THE SPIRIT. ACCEPT WE, THE ELECT, BE BORN OF WATER, AND OF THE SPIRIT, WE CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. CHRIST SAID THESE WORDS, JN:3:5 JESUS ANSWERED, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 6. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF FLESH US FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. IT IS THE HOLY GHOST THAT BRINGS THE INNER MAN THE SOUL TO LIFE. IT IS THE SOUL OF MAN THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY, FOR THE INWARD MAN. THE SOUL, IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. 2:COR:4:16 FOR WHICH CAUSE WE FAINT NOT; BUT THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN PERISH, YET THE INWARD MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. WHY MUST A PERSON BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTIZED? ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, 1JN:5:11 AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. AND THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THAT IS THROUGH THE WATER OF BAPTISM. GAL:3:27 FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. WHEN A PERSON IS BORN INTO THE WORLD, THEY ARE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES' AND BY THAT LAW NO FLESH SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. ROM:3:19 NOW WE KNOW THAT WHAT THINGS SOEVER THE LAW SAITH, IT SAITH TO THEM WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW: THAT EVERY MOUTH MAY BE STOPPED, AND ALL THE WORLD MAY BECOME GUILTY BEFORE GOD. 20. THEREFORE BY THE DEEDS OF THE LAW THERE SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIGHT: FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN. THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES, IS KNOWN AS THE LAW OF SIN, AND DEATH. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THAT I KNOW TO GET OUT FROM UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE LAW OF MOSES' AND THAT IS TO DIE TO SIN. AND WE DIE TO SIN WHEN WE ARE BAPTISED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. ROM:6:1 WHAT SHALL WE SAY THEN? SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND? 2. GOD FORBID. HOW SHALL WE, THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, LIVE ANY LONGER THEREIN? 3. KNOW YE NOT, THAT SO MANY OF US AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST WERE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH? WHEN WE THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE WATER OF OUR BAPTISM WASHES OUR SINS AWAY. AS ANANAIS SAID TO THE APOSTLE PAUL, WHEN SCALES FELL FROM HIS EYES. ANANAIS SAID "WHY TARRIEST THOU, ARISE AND BE BAPTIZED, AND WASH AWAY THY SINS. WHEN WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, ARE BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST WE COME UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF "THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE." WHICH IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND, BY THAT LAW WE SHALL NEVER COME INTO CONDEMNATION, AS LONG AS WE DO NOT THE WORKS OF THE FLESH. ROM:8:1 THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT. HOLY CHILDREN, THE MOST WONDERFUL THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO A CHILD OF GOD, IN THIS WORLD, IS RECEIVING THE HOLY GHOST. WHEN SAINTS RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMES. FOR WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. ROM:14:17 FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK; BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST LOVE COMES, FOR WHAT IS LOVE? GOD IS LOVE. AND, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE. WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST THEY BECOME A NEW CREATURE, A NEW CREATION. OLD THINGS PASS AWAY, AND ALL THINGS BECOME NEW. THE RECEIVING OF THE HOLY GHOST GIVES US A NEW START IN LIFE. 2:COR:5:17 THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST, THE ANOINTING COMES THAT TEACHES US, AND BRINGS US INTO ALL TRUTH. 1JN:2:27 BUT THE ANOINTING WHICH YE HAVE RECEIVED OF HIM ABIDETH IN YOU, AND YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: BUT AS THE SAME ANOINTING TEACHETH YOU OF ALL THINGS, AND IS TRUTH, AND IS NO LIE, AND EVEN AS IT HATH TAUGHT YOU, YE SHALL ABIDE IN HIM. WHEN WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, WE RECEIVE THE ABILITY TO LIVE THE SIN FREE LIFE. 1JN:3:9 WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. 10. IN THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MANIFEST, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT LOVETH NOT HIS BROTHER. WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST, IT IS THE EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE. WE KNOW THAT WE SHALL INHERIT SUCH MARVELOUS GIFTS AS ETERNAL LIFE, THE IMMORTAL BODY, AND BE HEIR, AND JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS CHRIST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. EPH:1:13 IN WHOM YE ALSO TRUSTED, AFTER THAT YE HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION: IN WHOM ALSO AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED, YE WERE SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE, 14. WHICH IS THE EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION, UNTO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY. WE, SAINTS OF GOD, ARE SAVED BY FAITH AND CONFESSION. ROM:10:9 THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. 10. FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION. TO MAKE HEAVEN OUR ETERNAL HOME CHRISTIANS MUST BE OF THE ELECT, MUST BE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH, MUST REPENT, MUST BE BORN OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT AND WE MUST BE FRUITFUL. JN:15:1 I AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER IS THE HUSBANDMAN. 2. EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: AND EVERY BRANCH THAT BEARETH FRUIT, HE PURGETH IT, THAT IT MAY BRING FORTH MORE FRUIT. TO MAKE HEAVEN OUR ETERNAL HOME WE MUST WASH THE FEET OF THE SAINTS, AND ALLOW THEM TO WASH OUR FEET. JN:13:6 THEN COMETH HE TO SIMON PETER: AND PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, DOST THOU WASH MY FEET? 7. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT I DO THOU KNOWEST NOT NOW; BUT THOU SHALT KNOW HEREAFTER. PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, THOU SHALT NEVER WASH MY FEET. JESUS ANSWERED HIM, IF I WASH THEE NOT, THOU HAST NO PART WITH ME. CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, FOR A MAN TO BE SAVED, WHEN HE IS JUDGED, HE MUST BE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH, HE MUST REPENT, HE MUST BE BORN OF WATER, AND THE SPIRIT, HE MUST BE FRUITFUL, HE MUST EAT OF THE FLESH OF JESUS CHRIST AND DRINK HIS BLOOD. JN:6:53 THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU. HOLY CHILDREN, WE EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, WHEN WE PARTAKE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER. WHEN A MAN OF GOD, WITHIN WHOM THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS. COMES WITH THE INTENT TO PERFORM THE RITUAL OF THE LORD'S SUPPER, AND RISES HOLY HANDS. AND, BLESSES THE UNLEAVENED BREAD, AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE. THERE IS A CHANGE COMES OVER THE SUBSTANCE. THE UNLEAVENED BREAD BECOMES THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE BECOMES THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. A PERSON MUST EXAMINE HIMSELF, AND BE SURE THAT HE IS WORTHY TO PARTAKE OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST. HOW DO WE BECOME WORTHY TO EAT OF THE BODY, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST? BY BEING OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, AND FAITH IN THE BLOOD THAT CHRIST SHED ON CALVARY'S CROSS. WHEN A PERSON PLACES HIS FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, AND PLACES HIS FAITH IN THE BLOOD THAT JESUS SHED ON CALVARY'S CROSS FOR OUR REDEMPTION. GOD THE FATHER ALLOWS THAT PERSON TO DECLARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS PAST. ROM:3:25 WHOM GOD HATH SET FORTH TO BE A PROPITIATION THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, TO DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS THAT ARE PAST, THROUGH THE FORBEARANCE OF GOD. EXAMINE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU EAT OF THE LORD'S SUPPER TO SEE IF YOU ARE WORTHY. ICOR:11:27 WHEREFORE WHOSOEVER SHALL EAT THIS BREAD, AND DRINK THIS CUP OF THE LORD, UNWORTHILY, SHALL BE GUILTY OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF THE LORD. 28. BUT LET A MAN EXAMINE HIMSELF, AND SO LET HIM EAT OF THAT BREAD, AND DRINK OF THAT CUP. 29. FOR HE THAT EATETH AND DRINKETH UNWORTHILY, EATETH AND DRINKETH DAMNATION TO HIMSELF, NOT DISCERNING THE LORD'S BODY. 30. FOR THIS CAUSE MANY ARE WEAK AND SICKLY AMONG YOU, AND MANY SLEEP. BELOVED, TO BE SAVED WHEN WE ARE JUDGED, WE MUST BE OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD GOD. 2TM:2:5 AND IF A MAN ALSO STRIVE FOR MASTERIES, YET IS HE NOT CROWNED, EXCEPT HE STRIVE LAWFULLY. WE MUST WORK IN THE HARVEST OF SOULS. OUR FAITH IS MADE PERFECT BY GOOD WORKS. JMS2:20 BUT WILT THOU KNOW, O VAIN MAN, THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD? 21. WAS NOT ABRAHAM OUR FATHER JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, WHEN HE OFFERED ISAAC HIS SON UPON THE ALTAR? 22. SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? IF A BROTHER OR SISTER IS DESTITUTE OF THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE AND THEY COME TO US FOR HELP WE MUST HELP WITH FOOD AND CLOTHES. MT:25:34 THEN SHALL THE KING SAY UNTO THEM ON HIS RIGHT HAND, COME, YE BLESSED OF MY FATHER, INHERIT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD: 35. FOR I WAS AN HUNGRED, AND YE GAVE ME MEAT: I WAS THIRTY, AND YE GAVE ME DRINK: I WAS A STRANGER, AND YE TOOK ME IN: 36. NAKED, AND YE CLOTHED ME: I WAS SICK, AND YE VISITED ME: I WAS IN PRISON, AND YE CAME UNTO ME.
