The Foundation of Unwavering Faith - Part 2

Welcome to the intense podcast with child Stanley Friday, February 25 theme. I got as far away. Maybe that's because your assessing activity by the wrong criteria.

Here's the wrap up of the series on unshakable faith in Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever is a changeless Christ thou the truth is this, that one simple statement is the foundation of everything you probably if you believe that something he said is now changed the way he operated. He does operate that way. And the more and that the things that he acted out in his life is not the way he acts in a bowl that is. He's not the same person.

He doesn't say the same thing.

He doesn't carry on the same kind of work then let me ask a question what sort what assurance do you have about life because if he is not the same yesterday today and forever. We are all be eternal trouble. But the truth is he is he is the same.

In fact, if you turn all the way back to Matt Miller, the last book in the Old Testament look at this third chapter he makes a very simple statement here about many things but he says for the Lord do not change. Now a lot of people have difficulty with that because they look at their circumstances and they think will certainly if God is God and if he will do what he says he will do that. I should be in the mess that I'm in this storm another come into my life.

That's not always true and some also think about this simple truth because when you and I go through difficult and hardship in troubles and trials in life, we need somewhere to go, we need someone to turn to. But he can't just be anyone, and it can be something that's changing all the time because is no security in that you don't have any assurance whatsoever about anything in life. Listen, if Jesus Christ is in the business of changing his person in his personhood all his works are his words is what he said except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God, nor can he enter the kingdom of heaven. Did he say that yes he did. Was it true, then yes it was. Is it true that yes it is. It is negatives what you think it is making is what you believe and do not believe Jesus who is the on changing some of the living God.

He and the father, one who is deity.

He said, except you are born-again you never get to have what he said and so if he said it. Somebody says he said it. I believe it, that settles it know he said it that settles it with you.

Believe it or not is not even the issue. The issue is his words are very true. He said, for example, he's that I'm the way the truth and life no man comes to the father but by me. That's what he said. He said then yes.

Is he saying in today years has God change the means of salvation. You would think, according to some people. He has, he says, not by works of righteousness which we done, but according to his mercy he saved, except a man be born again, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved not working away in the salvation of their people today who proclaim to say what you good enough then you get to heaven you know what they're implying what they're implying is Jesus changes my biggest back younger he said, except a man be born again.

He said you place your faith and trust in him and his work at Calvary. You can't be saved now if somebody's preaching that you can be saved by being good be your good works and you will be say what they're implying is Jesus changes my at think about this it back younger somewhere when he lived. You only could be saved by being born again now today 2000 years later you can be saved by good works and how you get saved in the future you can answer the question. Listen carefully.

All you do is create confusion to yourself and to others because he is absolutely unchanging in his word he said. Believe me, trust me he still saying the same thing today.

Believe me, trust me. And sometimes we struggle.

What does God say to just trust me. Just trust me, trust me, trust me. What was using the Peter James and John. Those disciples does not believe me, trust me that you trusted me as his words change they not change. For example, he said we are to forgive those who wronged us. How many times 70×717 490 know that we just keep on forgetting he's able to forgive those who mystery does. He said who persecutors say all manner of evil against those for Christ sake. He said you to forgive them what is he saying today.

The same thing. Has he changed his mind today and said now you to forgive them up until about after three times forget it didn't say that.

Aren't you glad he didn't say that because suppose it is said, I'm going forgive you three times for the same sin and that it's all over Vanguard even say that to me all to you. You know what he said. He said if we confess our sins faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. How many times once, twice, 494, 91.92 no as children of God. We are the forgiven children of God. The blood of Jesus Christ his forgiveness of our sin and you see what he says he means he hasn't changed. If I'm wrong about someone I forgiven him a time I can answer that question for you Matteo many times say man you don't think I know the answer to Best Buy, etc. I'll tell you how I can to exact them and times you to forgive you and as many times as Jesus will forgive.

That's all. Just that simple. Is he changed his mind about that know is not.

He says, for example, the juvenile or the light of the world. Well, we say when I did he say he was the light of the world. Yes he did but he also said we are, he said exceeded the father's right hand where what's left in here. So what is he do he lives his life in us and through us. That is, he expresses himself their hands and feet in her eyes and ears. We listen you see we are the light of the world. That is, every single believer is like another candle like a lantern and what he wants was news to keep their life clean so that the light can shine through the covering of the lantern. We are the light of the world what they need most of all is that living walking example and that's what all of us are to be the truth is the reflectors it's Christ living on the inside of us reflecting his life through us. It is our accountants and our conduct and behavior and their attitudes and our faith and our trust in our good works to say this person. So there must be a crucible amassing this if somebody said about you is here Christian that talk about you, what would you want them to say what would you expect them to say in affirming that you are a child of God. What is it about your life that you know is Christlike.

What is it that you would hope they see and hope they hear you want to be like him you see the truth is we are the light of the world and sometimes if our glasses dirty.

We send the wrong message if their life is clean and pure and it is happiness and peace and joy and contentment even in the midst of difficult hardships and troubles and trials.

What are we doing with sending the most awesome message of light and truth that the one we believe in is the real God. Jesus Christ is man's hope in and he's man's helper and we can see it in our life and they can see it in our life they don't see it is something missing somewhere along the way. When I think about the things he said I think about what he said to his disciples, he said, as you go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all the things that I commanded you, I'm going to be with you all the way is he still saying that yes he is and people who do not believe that of those whom he calls who rebels against the call listen.

Churches that do not have a missionary thrust had decided that Jesus has changed his mind. Jesus has not changed his mind.

This is one plan. That plan is that we his believers share the truth of who he is, to the entire world of the last single persons herded the last day that this world exist as he changed his mind about that.

No.

And if he is still in the process and desires to disciple the world, somebody's gotta do it. And so it was he doing is calling upon every single one of us to be a part of that. So he said to go.

Did he mean go years we sit in the church. He said you shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you and then you should be my witnesses the remaining years. He said in the past. Is it true today. Years will be turtle tomorrow will be truthful. Jesus comes back for his church hasn't changed. Because this is what he said this is what he meant. For example, he said given and should be given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together, that's what he said is he still saying that yes he is, is the Lord of the sender. Given a more give anybody anything else change my mind. No, you see, Jesus operates by principal his own principles is one of his principles, you're in need. You give give a little bit. You may not have hardly anything to get give something, what will he do, he will be sure that you give in return. That's why he operates. That's what he said because, listen not only is he a God of love and mercy and goodness, but he's a God who is omnipotent, he knows how to take five loaves and two fishes and feed 5000.

He knows how to take a little bit and turn into a whole lot. He knows how to radically change your circumstances and your situations in life, so that what you a little bit becomes a great deal. He said give it should be given you. He said love your enemies will like them, love your enemies, that's what he said is a regular mind and ears, you have been treated to love yes.

Is it easy and sometimes very difficult to love those administrators. Is it still the same word of God.

Yes, as he changed his mind. No busy hold us accountable for doing just that loving your enemies. Yes, either.

He hasn't changed and assume the one hand we wish he change some things.

On the other hand, who don't touch that part we like to pick and choose what is going change he's not going change in his being is not going to change his works and he's not going to change in his words.

For example, he said you wanted eternal life. Trust me, but your faith in me is a believe on the Lord Jesus Christ now shall be saved is that changed though is just that simple has not changed every single thing he said he said it has not changed. He said, for example, one of these days I'm gonna return Omnicom in judgment with holy angels, and destroy everything on this earth. It is not holy and righteous and good somebody's as well. Is he a that's what he said that's right. We hasn't done it yet. Right you know why.

Thank God he hasn't yet.

Because if he did it be such an awesome awesome devastation. Our responsibility is to get the gospel out there before that happens, somebody's as well, but not all these other things you can prove he is what he said his what he did, but what about this. Let me ask a question if he's God and all the other things he is. He still is, all the other things he said and still say all the things he did and is still doing, why would you want to believe that's not true. It's interesting the people read the Baumeister well I believe it from cover to cover. I believe it.

From Genesis to G revelation I can do.

Just somehow I that I don't believe all that stuff's true on what basis because Jesus changes mark the book of Revelation.

Missing is the Revelation is the message God gave to the beloved apostle John. The show is about future things one not believe it.

Jesus said it to him Mrs. him. He came up with. Jesus said to him, because you don't understand it doesn't mean you should dispense with.

It is the word of the living God. In fact, this whole Bible is the word of the living God that is written over hundreds of years by different people. What all land and government control over the Holy Spirit is not our Lord Jesus Christ is not the father of the Holy Spirit, all are not equipped, are they not powerful enough to keep his word, absolutely pure down through centuries of time. He who controls time the thoughts of man. He who governs every single thing has all things under his hand. Rules and reigns over all things, is it impossible for him to put all this together. No, it's not. He made promises also promises, for example, he said all that last dam to raise up out of the grave the body of every single one of those who place their trust in me not go missing one now does a singer wants, what he said. John chapter 6, verse 38 there not not to lose one that's what he said. Remember what he said those disciples. He said I'm going to be killed, and ongoing arrives the third day was he killed yes it arouse the third day years you have been a reason to doubt that he's going to raise your body. Look what it likely was God and is likely said is for mildew liquid there. That's what he did. You and I have no reason whatsoever to doubt him.

He's the same Jesus yesterday today and forever. Now with that in mind what you think about something without Christ. You have absolutely nothing because you don't have anyone to turn to. You have no anchor in your life you know what's happening without him. You just have to view being carried along with society and its fads and exchange. Everything existed to change our bodies newsletter change the side business that you the world. Instead, change maps of the state of change. Most of the things you brought a day than a mechanical or outdated almost as time you bother. Everything is changing everything supposedly is new everything supposed to be getting better in every aspect of society, every single thing is in a state of change. Without Christ without the son of God living on the inside of you. You Leo. In response to uncontrollable change in your life and you know what happens, you just get tossed to and fro, and thrown off course you know why because you not anchorage anything I think about this every time you not base any circumstance in life difficult. Our good times in life. What is it that anchors us. What is it that keeps us steady and steadfast. What is it gives us security and certainty and assurance and boldness and confidence. One thing that's a person that is because of our personal relationship with Jesus Christ and you see what makes us so sure. Is this he's the same. He was an intern in the past.

He is the same today and he shall be the same to Martina want to have to worry about tomorrow. While have to be concerned about tomorrow and all the things of change in things could happen may happen, you will have to worry about that allegedly brings the way was what he did and what he said and think about what is doing what he is saying and who he is today. You will not have to worry about because I know that whatever the need is one of the situation, circumstance.

He's going to act exactly the way he's been acting all the time doing what loving us providing for us protecting us caring for others upholding as encouraging as healing as owning own an old all we could go of what he's going to do because what he has done what he is doing what he's promised that it was because of who he was who he is and what he will be always the same. What you have is an unbelievable do you have you don't have an anchor, you don't have anything that can keep you steady and steadfast when all hell breaks through in your life. You only have a few weeks a few days to live. You've lost all your finances lost your friends all kinds of calamities hit your life, what you have anything but all of those who know the Lord Jesus Christ we have the son of God. The anchor was to characterize listen to John hand-in-hand with those and walk through the deepest, darkest, most painful values in life and come out on the other side say what a Savior.

For the Lord what a Masters or look back and see what he brought me through what I got. He's always the same.

Believe me, he is able never disappoint you never show up late.

Never end up failing to enable you strengthen your encouraging.

He's every bit the person he says is soon if you don't have it you don't have anything, but you can have. You can acknowledge that in reality your life is empty, full of things but empty of reality and you ask him to forgive you of your sins. The sin of rejecting him our ignoring and rebelling against and tell him that you are willing to believe the testimony of Scripture. He went to the cross of Calvary and data sacrificial substitutionary death in your place to pay for your send that in mind to pay for it in full, and that you are accepting his death his payment for your sin and your accepting him as your personal savior beginning right here and now, the moment you tell him that with sincerity. You know what happens you began this wonderful relationship with Jesus Christ and you don't discover we've discovered he's the same yesterday today and will be forever. You can rest in that because you see that is the anchor of our faith. That's the foundation of everything we believe an unchanging Christ unchanging God who does not waiver not in any single aspect of his. He offers himself as a gift of love to you and me will simply trust and believe what he says and give him our life. That's life and it's very advanced life founded and anchored in the son of God, thank you for listening to part two lab foundation and unwavering faith.
