 I hope you enjoyed your different classes. Ours was very engaging. And so we are about to start the Divine Hour and we'll start, as usual, we'll start with praises and a word of prayer, let's pray. Dear God, we thank you for this day. Thank you for giving us the opportunity for life and for Godliness. Thank you because you always provide your spirit to stay with us. Thank you, Lord, for being with us until now. And we ask that you do well to just stay with us and give us more of your presence as we praise, may your spirit be with us, impute your purity on us and your righteousness on us. And may you be the vision. In Jesus' name, I pray it, Amen. Again, my name is Joyawich and I'm your soprano for today. And on my right side is... Florence Opeo, alto. And I'm Eric Owiti. George. Bees. All right, we'll start with song number three, four, song number 34, Weak the Song. Weak the Song of Joy. Sorry, I'm told it was not quite audible. Thank you, that's better now. I want to welcome each and every one of you to our worship service this evening. And I hope you've been blessed by the programs that we have had earlier in the day. And this evening, on this last session, I want to introduce those who will be serving us. Sister Lynette Ouma will be serving and will give us our scripture reading. Brother Ouma will offer the pastoral prayer. Our music, as you have seen already, is given by the Miriam ministers. And when the right time comes, Pastor Gerta will be giving us the word of God. Please enjoy the service wherever you are. Whether you are at home and those who are in here, feel very welcome to share the word of God and be blessed as we fellowship together in the house of God. God bless you all. Sorry, I'm not Lynette Ouma, I'm Millicent Ogueri. Our scripture reading will come from the book of Ephesians chapter two, verse eight. Ephesians chapter two, verse eight, and I will read. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. I will repeat, for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. May God bless his word. Rise up for an opening song that is song number 303 in the theme that we have carried on, and that's the cross. So beneath the cross of Jesus, song number 303, and I request the present congregation to rise up for the opening song. I'd like to invite each one of us to join me in offering a prayer this evening. For those who are in church, I would like to request that you remain standing. For those who are watching virtually, I do believe, I do trust that wherever you are, feel comfortable the way you are, and please join us as we pray. Now let's pray. We thank you very much for being good to us. We are grateful because you gave us a chance to come into the house today. And you've also given us a chance to be able to participate in this program since it began. Indeed, we are grateful because you shared with us great messages. And it still continues to do so using your servants that you've sent to come and bless us as we are continuing to be able to come in with you and with one to another. We ask that you give us the grace, give us the desire to be able to know more about you and to be able to serve you in the way you desire. As your man's servant is coming up front to be able to break the bread of life, let pastor get a, be your mouthpiece. Give him the words to be able to share. Let him be a vessel that will be able to share the word of salvation that comes through your son Jesus Christ. Enable us to be able to appreciate the goodness of your word and your service. Enable us to be able to appreciate the gift that you keep giving us each day. Be with us as we learn more from you before we ask all this, believing and trusting in Jesus' name, amen. Reading second Corinthians chapter nine, verse six. Second Corinthians chapter nine, verse six. But this I say, he who so sparingly will also be sparingly. And he who so bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he opposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that you always having all sufficiency in all things may have an abundance for every good work. It is now time for us again to worship our God in tithes and offerings. And I invite each one of you to participate as you propose in your heart, to give as the Lord has blessed you. In this camp meeting, we are still short of some 600,000 shillings for the camp meeting expenses and as much as one million shillings for the offerings. I want to pray that we will make up these deficits but please give as the Lord has blessed you. For those who are not here in church, you are invited to use the M-Pesa or Airtel or the bank accounts, which I hope you will soon see on the screen. The M-Pesa number is 320-100 and Airtel is A-001. God loves a cheerful giver. Let's give our offerings as the God has blessed you. Let's pray before we collect our offerings. Lord, we thank you for the opportunity to serve you in tithes and offerings. We thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed upon us. Lord, we have only a little to give back to you in appreciation and in thanksgiving. How we pray that you'll bless it for the work and help us to give cheerfully and not grudgingly with our full awareness that all silver and gold belong to you. This is our praying in Jesus' name. Shaltar nevatar, shaltar nevatar, shaltar nevatar, shaltar nevatar. There's a great come meeting in the promised land. There's a great come meeting, there's a great come meeting in the promised land, in the promised land. Good evening. And praise the Lord. Are you excited to be in the presence of the Lord this evening? I trust we are excited because in the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy and at the right hand of the Lord is pleasure forevermore. We thank God for yet another opportunity to come in His presence. This evening we are continuing our study of the wonderful Word of God under the Come Meetings theme which is I Will Go. And of course as I mentioned on day one I have packaged the messages under the theme I Go, joining with Jesus and I have series of messages that are presented in the morning and they basically address the question with whom are we to go. We are going with Jesus the giver of the Great Commission who did not give that commission alone. He gave it along with the great promise which is the promise of His presence. Remember He said, Lord I am with you always even to the end of the age. In the evenings we will address the question with what are we to go. So in the morning consider going with the master and in the evenings we consider going with the message and the message of the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. So this evening we are continuing our study of the book of Ephesians. Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 to 10 will be the basis for our study on the message of salvation, the gospel of the grace of God. Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 to 10 is an amazing passage. The Bible says for by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, not of work, less anyone should boast for you are or we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works. So from this passage brothers and sisters we discover as far as our salvation is concerned that we are saved by grace, we are saved through faith, we are saved as a gift, we are saved not of works, we are saved for God and we are saved unto good works. This evening our study is titled I go with the pipeline of saving faith. I go with the pipeline of saving faith. Remember that on day one of our study we looked at Ephesians chapter 2 verses 1 to 10 and we consider chapter 2 verses 1 to 7 where we saw God, the God of grace at work and in chapter 2 verses 8 to 10 we discover the grace of God at work and on yesterday we looked at Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 8 our focus mainly was on for by grace you have been saved for by grace you have been saved and we consider the power and principle of saving you know grace the power and principle of saving grace today we're looking at just two words in Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 8 two words through faith so I ask you to turn your bibles to that passage we're going to read the passage again Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 8 as you flip the pages of your bibles to Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 8 I wish to affirm that I believe in the supremacy of the Bible I believe that the Bible is the ultimate authority if you believe that women say amen to God I also believe the sufficiency of the Bible I believe that this book is sufficient to make one wise on to salvation that in this book God has given us all things that pertain to life and to godliness and finally I affirm the Bible's summation or its totality I believe that all scripture comprising the old and new testaments only and 66 books only is God's inspired word you believe that women say amen to God so that affirmation of what we believe about the Bible I want to read through your hearing Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 the Bible says for by grace you have been saved through faith and that none of yourselves it is the gift of God as I mentioned our focus will be on just two words through faith through faith and the message is titled I go with the pipeline of saving faith let us pray as we ask the Lord to lead us father we ask that the Holy Spirit who inspired your word in his entirety will illuminate Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 giving us insight for living and as it has pleased you oh god to use a phrio a filthy and a feeble vessel as myself I do not ask for mighty words of human wisdom to move the audience or ask for now oh god is that humanity will diminish and divinity will dominate that you will speak to us pointedly powerfully and personally in the name of Jesus and the people of God say amen I go with the pipeline of saving faith today our focus is on Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 8 and two words will be our consideration or two words will be considered in our study on today the first point of our message is the pipeline of salvation and basically that's going to be the point for consideration the pipeline of salvation the means of salvation the channel of salvation in other words how can you how can I access the salvation which is so freely given by the god of heaven from this text Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 8 notice what the bible says it says through faith through faith it is critical that we go through you know this explanation of what it means to be saved what it means to be saved so that we would affirm our experience of salvation or at least rethink what we believe to be salvation so look at the text with being friends through faith the first word we want to consider is that word through the greek is actually dia it occurs over six hundred and sixty times in the new testament and that word according to leo morris he says dia is one of paul's hard worked prepositions one of paul's hard work prepositions he has it that is the apostle paul has a 291 times out of 660 times in the new testament that's about 43% in fact he uses it 91 times in romans alone and 21 times in Ephesians fascinating use of that preposition but what's the meaning of the preposition through what does it mean see that word dia that preposition has two mean clearly defined rows when it is used with the accusative i'm going to become a little a technical we will get to the practical aspect of the message in a moment when it's used with the accusative what basically the sense it carries is a local sense most commonly it actually can be translated as reason meaning you could translate it as because or because of which is a statement of purpose or the statement of reason but when dia is used with the genitive what basically it the row it plays is the row of a path a path in the local sense which can be translated through or you know as a result of or means or manner this is the non-local extended sense or agency sense and in this text the word through is used in the second sense and it signifies the route through which something is accomplished the route through which something is accomplished it answers the question how so we could say how are we saved we are saved through faith in other words you could say the path of success the path of salvation is faith it is a preposition which serves as a marker by which something is accomplished this is called in greek the preposition of means through suggests the means by which we are saved and that is for doing ear friends pa is describing please listen the instrumentality of our faith pa is describing the instrumentality of our faith and the idea is we are saved by means of faith faith then is the channel faith is the pipeline faith is the path faith is the way faith is the means through which salvation flows to the sinner it is the means so we could say whereas grace is the objective cause of our salvation or the objective basis of our salvation or i should say the universal basis of our salvation through faith is the subjective means by which one is saved so grace is available and accessible to our faith is the means by which we access this grace of god and experience this salvation of god in other words grace is the source of salvation faith is the means to salvation and salvation is the result in other words grace is the source faith is the means and the result is our salvation through faith through faith now friends salvation is very important and saving faith is not the same as self-confidence please get me clearly saving faith is not the same as self-confidence as popularized by Norman Vincent Peale in his book entitled the power of positive thinking no faith is not just you know positive thinking it's not positive thinking faith is something else faith as used here okay implies something different it has to do with implicit complete trust in the savior and if the word through suggests means that what means then implies is source which means the origin an object which means the substance organization which means the structure and the outcome which we will see in our study now notice what means please very quickly what is the origin of saving faith what is the origin of saving faith how are we saved where does faith originate from the faith that we experience for salvation or express for salvation where does it originate listening brothers and sisters to what the bible tells us in Hebrews chapter 12 verse number two the bible says looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him and nailed the cross dispensing the sheen and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God so Jesus is considered the author of our faith the originator of our faith Jesus is the author Jesus is the author of our faith in other words Jesus is the source of our faith now notice what the bible says in second peter chapter one verse number one the bible says someone peter a bond seven and a parcel of Jesus christ to those who have taken it of the world obtained the water obtained means received like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our god and savior Jesus christ so we obtain faith we receive faith from the author of faith now let me go on so you notice yet as Martin Luther was saying that no man can give himself faith faith originates with god friends faith originates with god faith originate with god the song says I know now how the spirit works creating faith in man so the holy spirit creates faith in us no one can confess that Jesus is lord unless the holy ghost empowers him no one can embrace and recognize his or her insufficiency and need for god unless the holy spirit who has been sent to the world convicts him of sin of judgment and of righteousness so faith originates with god he is the originator of our faith now the question number two is what then is the object of our faith trying to disabuse some of us you know of thinking that our faith has as its object something else other than god himself notice the object of saving faith the object of saving faith on whom is our faith based on whom should your faith be based in order to experience salvation listening brothers and sisters our faith is not to be based on a man made creed you got to get that clearly our faith is to be anchor on god the bible says in mark chapter 11 verse 22 Jesus answering say it unto them have faith in god have faith in god so our faith is to be anchored on god is to be in god not just that but we have to have faith in the son of god Galatians chapter 2 verse 20 the bible says I have been crucified with christ and it is no longer are that live but christ live that in me and that life which I now live I live in a flesh I live in faith now notice this the faith which is in the son of god the faith which is in the son of god have faith in god have faith in the son of god you need to also have faith in the gospel of the lord Jesus christ in mark chapter 1 verse 15 the bible says and saying the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of god is at hand repent and believe the gospel have faith in the truth of god a packaged in the gospel of the lord Jesus christ the object of our faith is god the father the object of our faith is the lord jesus christ but what about the organization of our faith in other words what are the constituent parts of our faith what is the structure of true faith brothers and sisters the protestants or the reformers actually understood that saving faith has three constituent parts saving faith has three elements saving faith is organized around three insensual inseparable elements first according to tisha which means the knowledge part of faith the content part of faith the next according to a census which basically is the consent part of faith and then fiducia which is basically the commitment part of faith brothers and sisters look at each of them and see what constitute saving faith what constitute true faith that we must have in order to experience salvation so the first asset is content content the first aspect of faith is content which means there should be a body of information about god about the truth about the word of god that one actually knows the content aspect of faith this has to do with facts and we're going to use that word faith as an acronym where the f stands for facts you need to know the facts of the gospel the facts of the gospel what are the facts of the gospel jesus died for our sins jesus was buried jesus resurrected on the third day for our justification jesus is in heaven and interceding for us jesus will come again in other words faith comes by yearning yearning not just anything but yearning the word of god there must be a content there must be a body of information and that must be the truth it must be factual it must be bible base it must be the gospel of the lord jesus christ so there is a content aspect which i said is the fact of the gospel and then there is the consent aspect basically consent means that you agree that the content is correct consent means you consent to the correctness of the content you consent to the correctness of the content in other words the year that oh jesus died for our sins and he rose the third day for our justification he is in heaven interceding for us he has shed his blood for you and you are to embrace this free gift of salvation then you say to yourself okay i think it's true i believe it that is called consent and consent has to do with you actually agree to the facts that have been given to you the truth of the gospel as has been revealed so the a is agreement in faith you agree that the content is correct you agree that what the bible says about jesus is correct you agree that the truth of god's world is correct then you go to the i the i is the eternalization the internalization you eternalize what has been said you make that truth personal in other words you say to yourself i believe that jesus died not just for the sin of the whole world jesus died for minds sins jesus died for minds sins you personally confess jesus as your lord and as your savior you internalize you make personal whatever god's world has said concerning our salvation then you go to the final aspect of faith so talking about the organization of faith the constituent element of biblical saving faith are number one there must be a content a body of truth that you are to believe there must be consent you agree that the body of truth is correct you eternalize that truth as a personal truth for your salvation and then finally you have the aspect of commitment commitment brothers and sisters after you got f for faith a fat brother and then you have a for agreement with the first you have i for eternalization of the fat then you have the t for trust that is the first element under the commitment part commitment means i trust the word of god i trust the saying of the bible i trust the gospel of jesus christ i trust everything that god has revealed in his word so the f is for facts the a is for agreement the r is for internalization the t is for trust and finally you have the h which is for hope your hope is anchored in the lord jesus christ and that aspect of commitment when you look at the bible carefully the word believe okay in the greek is similar to the word commit so to believe in scripture goes to the ultimate aspect or the last aspect the consummative aspect of the experience of saving faith which is what you call a commitment so when the bible says believe in the lord jesus and you will be saved it actually means commit yourself to jesus trust jesus have faith in jesus totally surrender to jesus it actually means the very same thing to believe and to commit it actually means the same thing you commit yourself by believing and by believing you commit yourself so saving faith is not just knowledge which is the content it is not just mental conviction which is the consent saving faith is not just intellectual ascent which is agreeing to what has been said no saving faith is believing in the object of faith who is jesus and who is he what he has done what he is doing what he's going to do in the future saving faith is an absolute surrender of one's full body one's entire being to the lord jesus christ surrender and one's life to jesus is what you call saving faith let me either straight it for a moment and see what was actually one of those people who would walk on wires she was an artist okay walk on long wires that are hard in the scar and then there was this artist who was to perform by the name of philip petite petite was to perform he was to walk on an 80 foot wire 80 foot higher wire he was to walk on it between two very long buildings and everyone was to be present to witness this great performance and what was the point and see what was told to get on the back of philip petite as he walked on the wire now everyone knew that philip petite was a wonderful artist that he was very creative and accurate in his performance they believed the man and so the day came in and see what got on the back of philip petite this man began his joining on the wire far in the scar he moved consistently and creatively he walked from one end of the building to another end of the building and after that great performance people began to ask and see what what is it that made her trust that man in such a way as to get on his back for him to walk on the wire from one building high in the scar to another building high in the scar and then the conclusion was i trusted him i believe his creativity i believe his his his his you know his ability and the truth of the matter is many people who witness that performance believed philip petite but not many of them were able to entrust their lives to him to have faith in god is to say i can get on your back so that you will take me from one end of the building to another end of the building that is what it means to have faith in god to trust him with your life to trust him for your survivor to trust him for the survivability of your children your family to trust him fully to trust him wholly it's so sweet to trust in jesus just to take him at his word just to rest upon his promise just to know says the lord trusting god fully wholly completely is faith brothers and sisters according to matthew luther acquired faith has as the end or use of christ's passion mere speculation true faith on the other end has as the end and use of christ's passion life and salvation true faith he says with arms or stress joyfully embraces the son of god giving for it and says he is mine beloved and i am his true faith is marrying to jesus true faith is committing oneself fully to jesus the brothers and sisters listen to this statement very important point very important there are thousands who believe in the gospel and in jesus christ as the world's redeemer but they are not saved by that faith they are not this is only an ascent of their judgment to that which is a fact ascent of their judgment to that which is a fact a faith that accomplishes his work for the receiver a faith in the attuning sacrifice a faith that works by love and purifies the soul the seven of god says the movement of true faith in the merits of the costly attuning sacrifice is exercise claiming christ as a personal savior not corporate savior personal savior that movement the sinner take note of the expression that movement that movement of claiming christ as a personal savior that sinner is justified before god because he is patterned he is patterned so true faith is claiming christ as your personal savior true faith is personal true faith is practical true faith is complete surrender of oneself to the lord to the king to the king of kings to jesus christ our savior now if you express this faith listen brothers and sisters if you have the content the correct content faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of god not hearing pop psychology not hearing how nicely pastor dress and what people say and no no no no hearing the word of god the content must be correct that's why you be mindful what you listen to the content must be correct content then consent i agree to what has been said consent then commitment i commit myself to this god i commit myself to this savior i believe his costly sacrifice for me is worth embracing that is true faith now yemi brothers and sisters if that kind of faith is expressed if you have faith in god in such a way there is an outcome and that outcome please yemi is first instantaneous let me explain that for them if you have faith in god if you have faith in the savior if you have faith in jesus christ what happens the outcome of saving faith is this number one justification if you have faith in god this moment wherever you are whatever part of the world you find yourself if you have faith in jesus as i have explained from the bible the immediate instantaneous effect is justification Romans chapter five verse one the bible says therefore having been justified by faith we have peace of god through our lord jesus christ the moment you express this faith the moment you listen to the content of god's word you consent that the content is correct and you commit through that correct content something happens which has universal ramifications what is that the bible says you are justified by that faith you are justified by that faith it's a brother what do you mean by justified justification is a legal action please hear me justification is jurisprudential justification is forensic justification is a legal jurisprudential forensic declaration of righteousness upon the sinner it is a legal equator god sits on the throne of the universe and says this person was destined to die because the wages are seen as death this person was destined to die because the soul that's seen as it should die but this person has had faith and confidence in the only substitute for the sinner and his name is jesus therefore iyeba as the king eternal of the universe declare this person righteous god says that your account is credited go have mercy your account is instantaneously credited with righteousness well you said preacher what do you mean you all know abraham to be the father of faith today they say the muslims are celebrating abraham's day well the bible says abraham believed god and it was counted to him as righteousness god have mercy the man believed the word of god and god counted god credited to his account righteousness now hear me if you will confess jesus as lord and savior today if you will have faith in jesus this moment there will be a legal proceeding in the courts of heaven that declares that you are legally acquitted no longer guilty free free and you can say like the son rather i'm free praise the lord i'm free no longer bound no more chains holding me my soul is resting oh what a blessing praise the lord hallelujah i'm free and the words are poured in the book of roman's chapter eight can hold truth for you there is death for now no condemnation to those who are in christ jesus you stand secured in jesus his righteousness becomes your righteousness your sins are laid on him your death has already been taken away you are alive and you now have eternal life hallelujah water savior brothers and sisters if you will have that faith this moment god legally acquits you you are declared listen to me righteous and that righteousness is called listen to me positional righteousness god brings you up to sit with christ Ephesians chapter two verses five six and so on you sit with christ in heavenly places you are seated positionally you are no longer guilty but that is not all that saving faith does the second outcome of saving faith is reconciliation you have peace of god the bible says in roman's five verse one we have peace with god through our lord jesus christ which means brothers and sisters that god is no longer angry with you are you there with me if you said that the bible it says god is always angry with the sinner god is angry with the sinner because sin is repugnant sin is unacceptable but if you embrace jesus as your lord and savior god now has peace with you you are at peace with god you are no longer at variance with god you're no longer at enmity with god you're no longer enemy to god you are now in the child of god and you can say with the apostle john or what man of love the farasunas that we should be called the sons of god you become salvationally the child of the king reconciliation instantly on account of the payment of jesus god is reconciled with the sinner but what else comes as a result of saving faith sanctification the bible says in roman's chapter five verse two through whom also we have listen to this access access by faith into this grace in which we stand and we just in hope of the glory of god now listen to this you have access by faith you have access by faith because you are now reconciled to god my dear brother because you are now reconciled with god my dear sister you now can boldly i i just said boldly as the book of hebrus tells us you can boldly come before the throne of grace to obtain mercy and to find help in time of need you now have access to god you can come into the throne of god because you are the child of god you can come before the king of the universe because now you are the child of god you can get on your knees in the most difficult of times and you are right there in the presence of your maker in the presence of your creator listen to me everyone access is one of the primary reasons for the entire plan of salvation when man seen in the guardian of eden what man missed was access when he was put out of the guardian of eden he was being robbed of the invaluable possibility of accessing the presence of god anytime and listen everyone from that point it had always been god's desire to give man access to him again it had always been god's desire so god said wait a minute let me try to create means of having access and he said in the book of exodus i think that's chapter 25 verse he said let them make me a tabernacle the army doer among them let it be a place that they can be able to access my presence but they will access my presence through a lot of formalities they have to kill some animal god have mercy i hope somebody is getting this point an animal have to be killed before god's presence could be access the priests who go on one day in a year on the day of attunement to have access to the presence of god and intercede for the entire nation that happened year after year after year after year and god says i gotta step up my plan to have access he said listen i'm gonna send someone his name is immanuel god with us when jesus came on this earth men had access to god but this time god was enveloped in humanity god was packaged in humanity jesus walked this earth as god with us but that level of access was not sufficient he said it is expedient that i go away because if i don't go away the holy ghost will not come i've got to get the holy ghost coming to this place because you need proper access to me as a matter of fact as a man jesus was omnipresent as god but yeah me everyone he was not omnimbody the preacher what do you mean jesus christ could not be in golly and at the same time in whatever place except he was expressing his divinity so he said i've got to go so that the comforter will come and in the presence of the comforter the presence of the father and of the son i brought to the believer now yeah me brothers and sisters god is not dwelling among us only god is now with us only god is now in us he lives within us or says it is no longer hard to live but christ lives in us yeah me my dear friend you now have access to god you don't need some priest or pastor to give you some kind of access to god every single person who has received jesus as lord and savior can come into the presence of god freely boldly freely boldly but what is the next benefit of our expression of biblical faith it is called glorification glorification is the hope of the glory of god the bible says in roman's five verse two it says and rejoice in hope of the glory of god which means if you will have faith in god this moment you will be justified freely by faith and by his grace declared righteous but that declaration does not stop there it comes with what you call practical righteousness the holy spirit in enabling and empowering you to live like jesus to think like jesus to walk like jesus to worship like jesus to behave like jesus to love like jesus you are being sanctified it is a continual practical process of conforming to the image of the lord jesus christ but then come the day when our faith shall be site then comes the day when his clouds are rolled back like a screw then comes the day when a son of man steps out of eternity through orion's gate and he descends to this earth and all the redeemed lift up their heads and say this is our god we have waited for him he will save us this is our god we have waited for him we will rejoice and be glad in his salvation then comes the day when a dead in christ will be resurrected then comes the day when like a popcorn popping in a popcorn machine the dead in christ will will resurrect will be caught up into heaven then comes the day when this martyr will put on immortality then comes the day when they're corruptible will put on incorruption then comes the day when we shall be changed then comes the day when sin is no longer on this earth it shall be eradicated then comes the day when we look the savior face the face with christ my savior craze the face what would it be when we rapture i behold him jesus christ who died for me face the face with maridima hallelujah what is salvation then comes the day when sin is eradicated there comes the day when death is no more then comes the day when covet is gone then comes the day when we are unmaxxed in the presence of god then comes the day when we are free alas the free alas praise god almighty the about faith we are free alas listen brothers and sisters the man who was in a seminary studying to become a pastor or a priest because he had made a promise to some you know to some scenes his patron seen that he would become a priest if he was saved from some thunder so he went to seminary but he never had inner peace this man began to struggle he practiced penance he beat himself in order to feel right with god he did all kinds of things in dodges and you name them he could not have peace of god he was struggling his heart he had an emptiness he felt like a sinner the one day he was reading his bible and he came across romans chapter one verse 17 that says the just shall live by faith that discovery changes life he said contrary to the catholic belief which was faith plus work equals salvation he said no it is not faith plus work it is faith alone do i have some Adventists in the house i said it is faith alone do i have some bible believers in the house it is faith alone in Christ alone by grace alone to the glory of god alone hallelujah this man expressed faith in god and that revolutionized his life and so on october 31st 1517 he nailed 95 feces to the door of the church denouncing the popular belief of Catholicism and walking with Jesus but as he went on after expressing his faith one day he was asleep and the devil appeared to him and said Martin Luther you were a liar Martin Luther you are a cheat Martin Luther you have had unclean thoughts Martin Luther you have neglected your duties Martin Luther you have wasted time Martin Luther you have cheated in light and you have unclean thoughts brothers and sisters those were the thoughts that the devil brought to Martin Luther making him to feel guilty and Luther looked at the devil in the phase that he said all of what you've said is true i did all of those things and i sometimes have all of those experience but yeah it's the truth the blood of Jesus has washed Martin Luther from all of his sins the blood of Jesus is sufficient the blood of Jesus has cleansed Martin Luther from all of his sins i want you to hear me today brothers and sisters if you have faith in God he would justify you will you have struggles with besetments and difficulties will you have some thoughts that you shouldn't think yes you will but the bible says if we confess our sins he is fit for and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness there is power in the blood of Jesus power in the blood of Jesus this great 16th century reformer Martin Luther he called justification by faith the article upon which the church stands or falls the article upon which the church stands or falls brothers and sisters Ellen White says through all the ages the great truth of justification by faith has stood as a mighty beacon to guide repentance sinners into the way of life you hear that through all the ages the great truth of justification by faith has stood as a mighty beacon to guide repentance sinners into the way of life listen brothers and sisters Ellen White says in reviewing herald satan month three 1889 1889 is important because 1888 was a trouble in the church 1888 general conference the debate was around justification by faith so 1889 Ellen White from 1888 began to talk about justification by faith and listen to what she said in 1888 she said the present message justification by faith take note of it she called it what the present message i will say it another way the present truth are you there with me church the present message justification by faith hear me as some of us may be thinking what kind of preaching this guy is doing here do you mean this do you mean that listen to what Ellen White says you're Ellen White my Ellen White Ellen White says the present message justification by faith is a message from who from God it bears the divine credentials for its fruit is unto what holiness that's what she says so if you say well this message will teach you know uh um uh um uh you know uh uh legalism or if you like it will teach antinomianism it will make me live anyhow she said it's message this truth is unto holiness listen to what Ellen White also says she says the Lord in his great mercy sent a most precious message she called the message of justification by faith a most precious message to his people she said let's see again this message was to bring more prominently before the world the uplifted savior more prominently before the law the uplifted savior she also says justification through faith in the show today or you know in it invited the people to receive the righteousness of christ she says many had lost sight of jesus brothers and sisters what a message what a message after 1888 there were many people who were calling Ellen White and asking a lot of questions so in 1890 she wrote in the review in her at April 1 1890 that is what she wrote listen everyone several have written to me inquiring if the message of justification by faith is the third in just message people wrote that seven of the lord is that is the message of justification by faith the third in just message that she responded to them she said and i answered it is the third in just message in verity so you think oh adventist we have to preach
