Welcome to the Kerwin Baptist Church broadcast today. Our desire is for the word of God spread throughout so that all may know Christ. Join us now for a portion of one of our services here at Kerwin Baptist Church located in Kernersville, North Carolina song And I look if you would. Verse 58 says that he then are sunk down in the pit that they made in the net which they hid is their own foot taken to stop right there let you know that I know the culture of our generation. In this world in general, especially of America and America supposedly is still a Christian nation, but I have great doubts in that I believe there still a whole bunch of Christians in this nation but I don't know if you can look at many of our actions and say that where Christian nation were still the most blessed and I believe the greatest nation in the world but I do. I understand a lot of things that are going on. It might seem that it's gaining momentum in that we that believe God's word are somewhat in the minority, but I want you to understand right now that the heathen are literally building a pit that they will fall in, you understand God's word and were not here to criticize or go after people, but I want understand while you might think sometimes that this world is getting worse and worse. They are literally building the very pit that they will fall in when that time comes. Notice if you would. Verse 16 the Lord is known by the judgment which he executed, wait a minute I thought the Lord is known because of his love.

I thought God is known because of his mercy, and how many of you can. I guess agree with me this morning that with God.

He is plenteous in mercy and thank God for that. And how many can say that you know the greatest love literally the epitome. The example of love is our Savior and the fact he is love. The Bible said, and he displayed a love that you and I just can't even fathom that he loved us enough to die on the cross for our sins so he is love and he is mercy. But this verse says that the Lord is known by the judgment he executed the listen to me when you get this. That's when people will know that Jesus was the Lord and is the Lord.

That's when people will know that God's word was true is when he executes judgment like I Jesus has been showing love and mercy for years and people still doubt, but when he executes judgment. That's when they will know that God's word was right and I was wrong. Notice verse 16. He's known by the judgment which he executed the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands over 17. The wicked shall be turned into hell.

Notice this, please, especially, and all the nations that forget God.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, we would preach a whole sermon on that.

But, dear friend.

The Bible also makes it clear that also all the nations that forget God. As America is continually forgetting God. That is where we are headed.

This verse makes it clear now notice verse 19. Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail. Let the heathen be judged in thy sight, put them in fear, O Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be, but men know what's going on. We have leaders in our nation. Another nation they think they're God, they think they're about God. They think that they know their more powerful they can do it. They want to do and these verses make it clear that the day is going to come there to realize were just men. God is God. Verse 22. If you would well me to stop. The region is verse Psalm 50 verse 22. Listen to this not consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver how many you can agree that America is in the process of forgetting God, your grade that are that's kind of a freebie because this July 4 weekend now want to look at John chapter 8 not go just a little more Scripture than usual to read the Scripture you need to hear it.

You need to see it on the drawn application and will get on to other things today. Notice would John chapter 8 verse 31 just a few verses here in John chapter 8 then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed in that interesting that if an individual gets saved, they might be saying, but unless they continue in God's word.

They're not his disciple. You know that one of the roles of the church is to make disciples for Jesus not just save people. One of the roles of the church is to reach people given the gospel and see them come to Christ, but our job as a church is not just to see them get say our job as a church is to make them into disciples. You see the difference. A lot of times we see people get saved but we don't enable them or help them to continue in God's word and unless you continue in God's word, then you're not his disciple. Now notice if you would. Verse 33 they answered him, we be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage. Know what you talk about bondage bridge. Look at verse 32 that we skip, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Were talking about freedom today when verse 34 Jesus answer the very letter that I sent you, whosoever committed sin is the servant of sin.

Now you might think that you can do some things and let loose in some areas and think, well, it's really not that big of a deal. It is not that bad of the sin this verse teaches us that when you decide to commit sin, you are now the servant of sin. We were 35 and the servant abided not in the house forever, but the son abided ever. If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed is a good verses are think now hold your place there because during the few applications on the make you this morning there to come out of John chapter 8 and Romans chapter 3 Older Pl. in John chapter 8, not trying to make it work too hard this morning but you need to see God's word hold your place there. Look at Romans chapter 3 verse 10 as it is written of me as it is written, there is none righteous, no not one.

There is none that understand if there is none that seek after God.

They are all gone out of the way they are together become unprofitable. There is none that do with good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher with their tongues they have used deceit, the poison of asps is under their lips whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood destruction and misery are in their ways and the way of peace have they not known.

There is no fear of God before their eyes. Does anything describe where America is headed better than verse 10 through 18 verse 19 now we know that, whatsoever things. The law sayeth it say it to them who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 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. Verse 21 but now the righteousness of God without the law is manifest being witnessed by the law and the prophets, which means obviously all way back from the book of Genesis all the way to the end obviously of the Old Testament as were now speaking in the New Testament it's been witnessed by the law and the prophets, even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all not certain, not some unto all and upon all them that believe. For there is no difference, that's great. By the way, that means there's nobody that does not have the freedom to be saved. Notice if you would. Verse 23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory God all sin, all have the chance to be safe. Verse 24 being justified unnoticed. This are keyword this morning being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus limit, go to verse 29 active or 28 therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. That means all the law that you try to keep can't save you. You are justified by faith. Notice verse 29. Is he the God of the Jews only is he not also of the Gentiles. Yes of the Gentiles also thank God for that means it doesn't matter if you're Jewish or not. No matter what color you are that matter what side of the tracks you came from matter how bad you blown it. Salvation is available and free for you now.

Salvation is not free.

It cost Jesus everything but it didn't cost us anything.

Verse 30 seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith and un-circumcision through faith do we then make void the law through faith.

In other words, now the law no good God for bid. Yea, we establish the law. None of that might be a bit confusing, but I want to preach to this morning on the subject of freedom knows a lot of Scripture not just listen to us for little bit. Keep your keeper finger either. John chapter 8 Romans chapter 3, you need to see these verses as I make this application. I love you and the Lord pray for me this morning. Lord we love you and thank you for the opportunity to preach your word. Thank you Lord that this Bible is more up-to-date than next week's newspaper Lord everything were going through. You saw a long time ago and you made provision for the Lord help us this morning as we talk about the subject of freedom in Jesus name, amen.

Verse 32 in verse 36 of John chapter 8 says this, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. I want to talk you this morning about the subject of freedom, but the word freedom and the subject of freedom that I'm talking about a listen to me real closely, America did not give you and America cannot take away the freedom that I'm talking about what is actually I hear people all the time. Say we might not longer have our freedom to worship know you look at me. Nobody can take away your freedom to worship you see will preach what they might take away our freedom to meet in this building, they might take away our freedom to assemble publicly.

But, dear friend, I want you to understand something, there is not one government not one nation, not one person that can ever take away your freedom to worship because they can't control your mind, and they can't control your thoughts. And the worst scenario is they put you in jail. Last time I checked all the word of God is a bunch of people that sat in jail and still worship God as a bunch of people to got stowed and still worship God, and even your preachers stone that I can still worship God. You say will kill you when you get to go to heaven. Worship God. There is no way anybody can take away our freedom to worship in that great they can lock you up. They can do everything they want to, but they can't change you worshiping because you don't have to have a building to worship and you don't have to have an altar to worship and you don't have to have a pulpit to worship and you don't have to take an offering to worship.

Worship in your car you worshiping Walmart you need to. When you get those lines, you know, when a semi with 80 items gets in at 12 item or lesson. You have two items you need to worship God in spirit and in truth they go to target next time or something.

I don't know number one what you understand over talk about were talking about truth. Notice the emphasis on truth, you shall know the truth. Verse 32, says, and the truth shall make you free verse 36 if the son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

So were talking about this. We have freedom folks listen to me when it comes to the truth of God's word. America did not give us the freedom of God's word.

America cannot take away the freedom of God's word.

The governor didn't give us this freedom the president didn't give us this freedom, England, and give us this freedom. Nobody gave us the freedom of the truth of God's word God gave us that freedom and I want you to understand this morning. Number one, we have freedom to receive the truth. We have freedom to receive no notice.

If you would. Verse 21 of Romans chapter 3 but now the righteousness of God without the law was manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets. That's God's word. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ. Notice this on to all and upon all them that believe number one free to believe you and I want to understand something, it doesn't cost you anything to believe God's word. You have the freedom to do so. It didn't matter what happens in our country. It does matter what goes on.

Look at me different.

Want you to get this nobody gave you the freedom to believe God's word God gave his word. God gave the truth and you have the freedom to believe it downloaded would verse 26 Romans Chapter 3 to declare, I say at this time his righteousness that he might be just and the justifier of him which both believe that in Jesus. Listen to me now look at John chapter 8 verse 24 to preach what he was. The point making her to see. Verse 24 I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins, for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Verse 31 of John chapter 8 then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him like a verse 45 and because I tell you the truth, ye believe not look any different.

You have freedom this morning to believe the truth of God's word to bridge what you trying to say even if you been taught different.

Your whole life. You have the freedom this morning to read the truth and believe it.

Listen to me even if your family does not believe God's word even if your entire family tree doesn't believe the truth of God's word. You are not bound to their believe you are not bound to their rituals. I'm here to tell you this morning. There is a freedom that is been given you by God himself and that is the freedom to access his truth and believe it.

Nice temperature wise is so important because believing is the first step become a different, you don't believe God's word, it stops there. You no longer have freedom like we thought about this a free country and origami freedom starts with the truth of God's word freedom starts when you believe the truth of God's work.

That is when the truth shall make you free. That means this if you don't believe the truth you're not free this morning and you never will be. You are under the bondage of sin.

Your under the bondage of this world and dear friend if you don't believe the truth then you are not free, but if you believe the truth, you can have every bad chain everything on you. You can be strap you could be tied down.

You can be in bondage to every government, every America, but you're free this morning if you believe the truth is that register.

Does that make sense. Listen to me dear friend, believing is the hardest thing to get people to do and I don't understand it because what half of America believes is beyond me. Has anybody ever even looked into much and I have the subject of Scientology.

You would not believe what people are grasping onto and they have trouble believing that Jesus died of the cross for our sins, but they think Bozo the clown showed up from a spaceship and all this what I dear friends and some of the fastest-growing religions have some of the weirdest strangest most illogical belief systems in the world and people are flocking to it. You know why people don't go out witnessed nowadays is a Welsh is hard to convince people the Bible all their being convinced of a lot harder to believe, dear friend. You and I we we don't give credit to the power of God's word because the truth shall make you free at all you know this morning.

You are free to believe the truth, there's nobody holding you back.

There's nobody they can tell you what to do. There's nobody that can brainwash you this morning if you unless you let him I'm here to tell you this is the truth. God wrote the truth, and the Bible says that if you know the truth that the truth shall make you free and I'm telling you right here is the truth not being all not the truth anybody this building in the truth. God's word is the truth and I'm here to tell you are free to believe it this morning, number two, you're free to receive it. You know believing is only half the battle.

Now notice if you would. Verse 24 Romans chapter 3, being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. That means this.

You are free this morning to receive Jesus as your Savior.

You are free this morning to believe the truth and receive the truth. That means you would be justified.

This verse that that word justifies means that that all the sins and your pastor gone. Not only is it the fact that Jesus never remembers our sin as far as as far as God is concerned because of the redemption through Jesus Christ. It's is this, we've never send it all were justify that is free to those that believe the truth and receive Jesus into their life region of the road. Verse 29 Romans chapter 3 is he the God of the Jews only is he not also of the Gentiles. Yes of the Gentiles, also, that means this is no restriction of who can receive Jesus. There is absolutely no little club and only you can receive Jesus.

The last time I checked I don't care what anybody says is not only certain people going to heaven is not a certain amount of people that are going to heaven and just our little club and just Baptist or whatever the case might be different that matter if you're black or why it didn't matter if your agent don't matter if you're Latino that matter if you're Polish did that matter what nationality you are dead matter if you're Jewish matter how bad you blown it that matter how much money you have the bank account for how much money you don't have in the bank account, you're free to receive it is to the Jew to the Gentile notice. This next verse, verse 30, seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith and circumcision through faith that means is a dead matter. If you've done this or done that that matter. If you have followed some religious ritual or whether you have it means this. You could've been in church or whole life.

This might be your first Sunday in church ever in your life.

I'm here to tell you, dead matter, there's no restriction. You are free to receive the truth.

That's freedom. You don't have to sit here and wonder if that freedom is ever to be taken away dear friend I'm here to tell you it doesn't matter whatever happens in this country there will always be the freedom till the Lord comes back for his church. There will always be the freedom to believe and receive the truth. Nobody can take that away from you because only that is freedom look at me different.

Once you get this.

The freedom we have, to assemble and go to church and all these things that freedom can be taken away. So that means is that freedom is temporary, so it's really not freedom if it can be taken away is not freedom. Dear friend I'm here to tell you what I'm talking about this morning. This type of freedom can never be taken away. You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Never can be taken away.

Notice number three.

Not only is it free to believe number two. It is free to receive a case by the way you you question look at John chapter 8.

I did reach of those verses about receiving I just want to understand both chapters. Look at verse 32 and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free verse 36 if the son therefore shall make you free. That's receiving the sun. That means this ye shall be free indeed know the Bible says, but as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. He's free to receive number three. Truth is free to achieve separate what Yorty talk about here. What is interesting dear friend, you have the freedom to believe the truth you have the freedom to receive the truth but I do want you to understand something about God to after you have seen the truth believe the truth receive the truth. It is now. Still your freedom.

Whether you're going to continue in his word are not you know it is possible for you to get saved and do nothing else.

A lot of people do you have the freedom to achieve or not. See achieve what preacher notice. If you would.

Verse 27 of Romans chapter 3 where is boasting then it is excluded. By what law of works, nay, but by the law of faith. Therefore, we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

That means is you can be saved without doing one thing, without accomplishing anything without changing anything. It doesn't mean that you had to go and serve for a year and do a whole bunch of things for God and now you can be saved you are saved without the deeds of the law. But notice if you would.

Verse 31 do we then make void the law through faith, so that means now we can just put away having to do anything or change anything or that that means we can just put away having to live a certain kind of life and having to represent Christ which the law said to do it doesn't mean we just get rid of that notice what he says God for bid EA, we establish the law. Look at me, it means is that you don't need the law to be say, but just because when you get saved doesn't mean that you just discard the law and have nothing to do with it. It means, now that I'm saying now that I now that I believe the truth and I received the truth. Now it is time for me to live for the save your preacher what was the point you're trying to make notice of you would John chapter 8. Look at verse 31 then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. That means this. You don't have to become his disciple. You can simply be a saved child of God. But if you want to be his disciple. If you want to achieve something for God. If you want to serve him if you want to further his kingdom. If you want to reach out and reach others, then you must continue in his word and nobody is going to make you do that again so much want to say I hope you get is listening. God will never make us serve he will never make us stand.

He will never make us work for him.

We have the freedom to choose now illicitly coming to get this your future mind.

If the if you should know the truth and the truth shall make you free, and if the son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. If you believe the truth and receive the truth, and then he made you serve. That would be free would not know Sunday morning. I know your time know you're hungry but you got it.

You gotta hang with this this morning. You got understand the truth of God's word that means this if God gave you the choice to receive the truth but then he did not give you the choice to serve him. It wouldn't be freedom, so that means this if you're going to serve God. You gotta choose that lesson to begin this for God to give us the freedom of our will to choose yes he must also give us the freedom of our will to choose no. That means this, you're free to believe the truth and you're free to receive the truth but also you're free to choose whether or not you're going to do some for God or you're not. Nobody can make God himself, knocking to make that your choice, listen to me. That is how free you and I are. We have a Savior that died for us and purchased our redemption and he is not going to make you do anything for him because you're free what I thought.

And the only one understand this is morning is a tough one for Sunday morning and it number four. You're free to be deceived, but if you would verse 10, 11 and 12 of Romans chapter 3 as it is written, there is none righteous, no not one. There is none that under stand that deception there is none that seek if after God, they are all gone out of the way they are together become unprofitable. There is none that do with good, no not one look at John chapter 8 termite Overlook, verse 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins deceived. Notice verse 43 of John chapter 8.

Why do ye not understand my speech even because ye cannot hear my words deception like a verse 44, ye are of your father the devil, and the lust of your father. He will do.

He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of labor 45 and because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not section different look at me.

I want you to understand this morning there's nobody holding a gun to your head. You have freedom to be deceived if you decide you're knocking to seek after God and you decide on knocking to get into the truth and find out for myself different. I want to understand something you got freedom to be deceived and I will tell you were being deceived will take you. It'll take you right in the pits of hell, but you have freedom this morning to be missing. Thank you for listening to me whom you received a blessing from our broadcast.
