What Is Christianity — Robert B. Thompson

It's up to you tonight, Lord. You do such wondrous things. You have done so many things, Lord, in our families and in our own lives, Lord, and we just marvel. And we so appreciate it. We're so appreciative of the good things that you do, Lord.

I pray you bless each family represented here, Lord, with peace and wisdom and health and safety. Lord, our families need it, and we ask for it in the name of Jesus. We pray, Lord, that as we continue tonight, Lord, that you know the needs that are here, the needs in the hearts, Lord.

And we pray you'll lead us in the way we should go, Lord, that will be most beneficial for each one, Lord. We thank you in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, we start in Ezekiel 41 verse 22. Ezekiel 41, 22.

Okay. There was a wooden altar, three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, its base, and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, this is the table that is before the Lord. And I just want to bring out a little bit about the table a table.

You notice with people that whenever we get together, it's usually around a table. It usually has to do with food. It's usually around a table. It's just the way people live. And it's important to the Lord.

In Song of Solomon chapter 2 verse 4, you probably all know this, Song of Solomon 2 .4. It's fast up there. I delight, let's see, verse 4 begin here. He has taken me to the banquet hall and his banner over me is love.

The banquet hall. I guess there'll be one in the future when we go to be with the Lord and probably in the day of resurrection, there'll be a lot done around a banquet table. That's the way God has made us.

It's where people enjoy. They look forward to that probably more than anything else. It's eating, fellowship, being around. He says his banner over me is love. It's marvelous to be at the table of the Lord and have him in a loving relationship with us.

And then in Revelation 3 verse 20, look at that man go. Here I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with me. Which of course assumes that there's a table within us where the Lord and we are supposed to have fellowship.

Now, what the Lord at that table, what the Lord eats is our obedience, those two things. We do what he says and we worship him inside. And we need to be doing that all the time. Some of the people of the church are picking up on this little prayer that I keep uttering, although they put it in their own words.

Every moment of the day that you think of it, Lord, am I with you right now where you are? See that? Keeping the presence of the Lord. That's not easy. When you've got a lot of stuff going, a lot of responsibilities, a lot of dreads and fears and hopes and plans, to keep your mind on the Lord like that, it's not easy.

Right now ask yourself, Lord, am I with you where you are? See, he said in John 14, that they may be with me where I am. Are you with the Lord where he is right now? Are you resting in him? Are you having communion with him?

If any man opened the door, we have to keep doing that. It isn't something you do once. You have to keep doing it, because we lose it so easily. We get embroiled in things, don't we? How many of you get embroiled in things?

Worries, activities. It's difficult, isn't it, to keep the presence of the Lord. Keep that inner communion. So he keeps on knocking, and you keep on opening, because he wants this to be a continual thing.

Not just once on Sunday, but all the time. Hearing his voice inside. Lord, am I with you where you are? How is it you express it, Larry? You have a little different way. Am I doing this? Am I okay today?

Am I doing what you want right now? It's a wonderful thing, but it's not easy. It takes a real consecration when life is very busy to keep saying, Lord, am I there? Am I with you? Am I doing what you want?

Is it okay? He keeps on knocking, and you keep on opening, and he eats your praise. He feeds and rejoices over your praise and your obedience. The Lord esteems obedience. He esteems obedience. He doesn't always get it on his people.

Now, what do we eat and drink? His body and blood. And that does not sound appetizing, but it is our life. Now, in the future, I'm sure that maybe when we die, maybe in the day of resurrection, I don't know when, but there'll be other food.

I'm sure that in the life to come, there'll be food. Maybe you never thought of that. You know, Jesus, when he was raised, and he appeared on the seashore, and the men were out fishing, what was it, Stan, 153 great fish.

And what happened when they get to the shore? Lord already had the stuff cooked. He had his own fish that he cooked. But he ate in their presence. When he was resurrected, he ate in their presence. He ate fish.

He ate the honeycomb. In those days, they used to eat honeycombs for sweets. Honeycomb was popular. This is the resurrected Christ. You say, well, he wouldn't need food. No, he doesn't need food. He could live without food.

But life is life. And that's how we relate, is around the table, and by eating. But right now, when we're talking about his body and blood, we're talking about the covenant. This is the blood of the covenant, which is shed for many.

And that is the life of Jesus that is being formed in you from eating his body and blood. And you do that continually. Every time you obey the Lord, he feeds you with his body and blood, because that's our eternal life.

That's where the life is. He gives you of himself. I had an email from an elder of a church, and he said that in this church, they had been having a discussion about whether Christ was created or not, or whether he was, as is commonly taught in evangelical teaching, that there are three gods that are co-equal, co-existent, co-eternal.

They don't like to put it that plainly, but that's actually oneness doctrine. Evangelical doctrine is actually oneness. That God is in three forms. The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. They're one God, but they are three persons, co-equal, co-existent, co-eternal.

The reason they came up with that unscriptural doctrine is because they went after the Trinity with their natural mind. They tried to figure it out. You can't figure out the Trinity. It's best to go by what Jesus said.

Two things that are relevant here. First of all, he said, my Father is greater than I. But the theologians waltz all around that. They don't go by the word. Jesus said, my Father is greater than I. And the second thing, he is called the begotten.

The begotten. So I wrote back to this man, and I said, no, Jesus is, there are not three gods. There is only one God. And Jesus worships him, as we see plainly from the scripture. But Jesus was not created.

All things were created by Jesus. Colossians 1 .10. Even angels, everything. But Jesus was begotten from God. And do you know that that's true of you and me? In our inward nature was not created. Our soul, our body, soul, and spirit were created.

But the new nature that we have is not created. It is begotten by taking of the body and blood of Christ. It is supernatural. It is divine. It is of God. Our new inward nature is not created. It is begotten, born again, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Larry?

Can you explain in simple terms what begotten means?

Born from, as opposed to created. See, a man could create something, but his son is begotten from him. Yes?

One time you said that Jesus is the fullness.

Exactly. In him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. So he who has seen Christ has seen the Father. Because the Father dwells in Christ. But it is very plain in the New Testament that they are not the same person.

For example, and I, somebody, where's Michael Biggs? He always confines these verses. In 1 Corinthians 15, there's a passage that says, and we need to read that right now. There's a passage that says, and when all things shall be brought under subjection to him.

See if you can find that. And I sent this back to this man, and he is very pleased. He said, boy, that did it. As far as that Christ and God are the same person. They're not the same person. Jesus said, my Father is greater than I.

How then could they be the same person? Boy, you'd have to be a real theologian to explain that one way. And another thing you'd have to really work with is, who is Jesus praying to in Gethsemane? Saying, not my will, but yours be done.

And by all token, that means the Father is greater than Christ, because Christ is healing to his will. And the theologians explain, oh, he's away. And they know there's three gods, co-equal, co-existent, co-eternal.

Because they tried to figure it out with their brain, instead of going by the Bible. It's wonderful with the light the Bible sheds on the commentaries. Yes, Larry? The battles I found in prison.

Was with men who took Isaiah, I think it said nine, where it says that the Lord shall be called Father. And they say that spiritually, before he came to the earth, he was the Father. And then he came to the earth in flesh, and so he's the Father and he's the Son.

And the point that I made to them was that in order for Jesus to have full possession of the earth, he had to become as those on the earth. And by becoming as those on the earth and dying for the penalty for sin,.

He became the Father of everyone on the earth. Yes, and actually everyone on the earth was created by Jesus, because John 1 says that by him were all things created, and without him was not anything made that was made.

So we know that. The problem comes when we take a couple of verses and then begin to reason. If you just use the scripture, there's no problem. And this is a good example. He must reign. All right, now, verse 27.

Boy, do we have highlighting and everything. For he has put everything under his feet. Who's the his? Jesus. Now, when it says that everything has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself.

Whoa, is that clear? But see, the theologians, they don't do that. They begin to reason, reason, reason. You don't get it that way. You get it by the scripture and by personal experience. You've come to know the Father.

Okay, this does not include God himself. If that isn't clear, I don't know how it could be more clear. But it goes on and gets more clear yet. Who put everything under Christ? So who put everything under Christ?

God. Yes, God. See, there's God and then God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ. That's what it says in Acts. But God, there's only one God. That's the Shema of Israel. Here, O Israel, the Lord thy God, the Lord is one, not three, one.

Okay. When he had done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him. Who's that him? God, who put everything under him so that God may be all in all. Isn't it wonderful, the light that the scripture sheds on the commentaries?

Yes. Well, there is a denomination.

That, as Jesus told me, the one that Larry was talking about, that they believe that Jesus is the Father. I know. And they're blind to all this. I know. See, I've got a lot of guys here.

I know that. I know. And they'll reach you at the drop of a hat. But it's not true. And I don't, it's not my, I don't have one minute to spend arguing theology. I never argue theology. I'm beginning. But I will talk about anything that impacts on your salvation.

And where this impacts on your salvation is in this manner. The heart of the gospel, the very heart of it, is that Christ is being begotten in us. We're being born again, this new inward nature. It's not created.

It's begotten on the body and blood of Christ. Then it goes on and it shows that we are being made one with Christ as Christ is one with the Father. So, Christ is begotten from the Father. And we are begotten from Christ so that the whole becomes one.

See, it's one entity. The Father, the Son, and the Church are one entity. And this is clear in John 17. Do you see that? You are becoming one. You are being made a part of the oneness that is God. Now, people get off on this and they say, well, that means I am God.

In one sense, yes, it is true that we partake of the divine nature. And in that sense, we are God in substance because of the body and blood of Christ. You see how important the body and blood of Christ is?

That's his divine life. That's the covenant. But what comes across to people is that you're saying you're the person of God, which is totally wrong. You will never be the person of God. God is a person in his own right.

Christ is a person in his own right. God the Father is not the Bridegroom of the Church. See, there's a difference. Jesus is the Bridegroom. God the Father did not die for our sins except through his Son.

The Holy Spirit did not die for our sins. The Holy Spirit is not the Bridegroom of the Church. There is a person called the Father. There is a person called the Son. There is a person called the Holy Spirit.

And these three are one in substance, in love, in being, in virtue, however you want to say it. Now, here's the point. You are being made part of that oneness. And if you make the Godhead something that's inscrutable, that you cannot understand, then you cannot relate to it because it's just so many words.

That's why I talk about the Trinity. Not because what it is, it is. And no statement of mine is going to change what it is. But where it's important for you to understand is that when you open the door to the Lord Jesus Christ, you're also opening the door to the Father.

Because the Father is in Christ. And the Father will never dwell anywhere except in Christ. The Father will never dwell in you. He will only dwell in Christ. So when Christ dwells in you, he that has the Son automatically has the Father.

Because the Father always dwells in Christ. And that is not that complicated. That's not nearly as complicated as saying there's one God, three co-existent and co-eternal, and then you read around and Jesus said, my Father's greater than I.

What I'm telling you is, you can take that verse, my Father's greater than I, and it makes perfect sense. Because what does it mean? It means my Father is greater than I. And he is. Because Christ learned obedience to God, and by all laws, the lesser learns obedience to the greater.

And Jesus has no problem with that. He says in the midst of the church, will I, Jesus, sing praise unto you? I don't find that difficult at all. That makes perfect sense to me. But if you have been thoroughly drilled in the evangelical trinity, you may never understand it.

Because it is simply not scriptural.

Chapter and verse. That says, my Father is greater than I.

Mike? My Father is greater than I. I remember another place where he said, why do you call me good? There's none good, save one. That is God.

Because I am the way, the truth, and the life. And no man comes to the Father except by me.

That's right. God will not accept anyone except through Jesus Christ. And God will not dwell in anyone except Jesus Christ. And when you see Jesus Christ, you see the Father, not because Jesus is the Father, but because the Father dwells in him.

And the day will come, if you stay with the program, maybe not in this life, but it certainly will come when he that has seen you will have seen Christ. And because you remember what Paul said, I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I am living, but it is not I who am living, but Christ who is living in me.

So you bring that up to its full maturity. And the same thing, Jesus wants us to stand in relationship to him as he stands in relationship to the Father. And he says this in John 6 .57. He says, he that eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives by me as I live by the Father.

So God wants us, that's a very, very, I tell you, if there's anything that Christ wants the church to understand today, that's it. That's it. That he is making us an integral part of himself. Yes?

The way that Jesus did that, the Father was through submission and giving up his will and exactly what the same God told us to do, to give up our will to him. Exactly.

Like how he would enter in. Exactly. Did you find it like, my Father is greater than I? Nobody have a concordance? My Father is greater than I? We got a computer, you have a search engine up there, you can hit.

My Father is greater than I? That's the King James. I don't know how it's expressed in the NIV.

There you go. I am John 14 28, thank you. You would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. Is it the word of God or isn't it?

The Lord himself became a man, and in that sense he was less than. So while he was a man, he was less than. So you can say, he man, my Father is greater than I.

Yes, I know that's what they teach, but it's disallowed by Jesus when he said, he that has seen me has seen the Father, and he was on the earth at that time. He didn't say, he that has seen me has seen a kind of a watered down version of the Father.

He was on the earth then too. The Lord would accept that he was on the earth then too.

Sure. Sure, I know they reasoned it away. But you've got to realize that what we believe here is what the Bible says. What they believe is not what the Bible says. Yes. That's the wheel in the wheel. Absolutely.

And there are many such scriptures, I mean many things we read in 1 Corinthians 15 which is so clear. He will be in subjection to God. You can't get around that. But I guess that arose in the early days of the Christian church because people were trying to figure out the Trinity, and they were saying, well he was half God and half man, and some didn't believe that, and they finally came up with a major creed that is one God, co-existent, co-eternal.

But it does not follow the scripture. Yes?

If you go back a few verses to verse 23, I think it is where it says that, if you love me you will keep my commandments, and if you love me I will love you, and if my father will love you, we will come and make our abode in you.

I mean, if it's not true, then how can they make your abode, and why would Jesus prefer to do so?

And why would it be plural with their? My father will love them, and we, we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. You know, over in Revelation 21, it talks about God and the Lamb. Well, if they were the same person, we would never, lo and behold, what we would be looking at is the Father, and there would be no Lamb.

Or the Lamb, and there would be no Father. He learned obedience to the Father through suffering. You know, Stan, that's a very powerful verse when it comes to the idea that Christ lowered himself. Because if he lowered himself to relate to man, why would he then become subject to the Father?

That makes no sense. No sense. But we can understand it in ourselves, in that Christ is living in us. We know we're not Christ, we know Paul wasn't Christ, yet he said, I am crucified, Christ is living in me.

Well, we know that Paul was not Christ, but yet he was Christ, and that it was Christ who was living in him. So we know, that's how we can understand the Godhead, is by the way we relate to Jesus. Yes, and that's going on now when he's been restored to his full glory, he is making intercession.

How could the Father make intercession unto himself? I mean so, because intercession applies a confrontation, you know, it's like a warring between two worlds. It's implicit in intercession. You know, it's basically an opposing situation, where one is seeking to change the mind of the other.

So how could they be one? That's crazy. Yes? And until you can read for what it is, it doesn't make any sense. You just go over and you can't see it. Yes? Yes? Yes, Mike. That's a good one. That's good.

Exactly. When Jesus said, no man knows the hour, not even the sun, only the Father. And again he said, concerning James and John, to sit at my right hand is not mine to give, it's appointed of the Father.

And again in Revelation in the first chapter it says, the revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to him. And this was when Christ was already restored to the Father. And he said the revelation that God gave to him to show to his servants.

So that tells you there was a time when Jesus didn't know it, but the Father did. So I mean, the current evangelical doctrine of the Trinity is unscriptural. Yes, Dan? The practical application will be when.

The Lord reveals himself to the Jewish people. Because I have a tremendous stumbling block right now to the Jewish people that believe in the three gods. What? I didn't track it, Stan. When the Lord reveals himself once again to the Jewish people, as the scripture says, it will return again once to them, the coming together of the church and the Jewish people, that this understanding will have to come to place in order for that to be accomplished.

Because the Jews can't get over, can't get past step one with Christians and that is three gods when the scripture.

Is in the temple. The evangelical doctrine alienates the Jews. They can't accept it. Because their basic credo is, hear O Israel, the Lord thy God, the Lord is one. And the scripture says that the gospel is to the Jew first.

Right. So an old Jew, I was talking to an old Jew, he's trying to accept Christ and he said I can't understand it. And then he said, could we say that Christ was a piece of God? A piece of God that came down to the earth.

Because his idea was if God came down to the earth, who's running the universe? And so he said, could we say a piece of God? I said absolutely. Absolutely. A piece of God. There's nothing wrong with that.

It helps him. But that is true. The evangelical doctrine is a tremendous stumbling block to the Jews. They say you have three gods, you're polytheists, and that's all there is to it. And they're right.

They're absolutely right. When you say there are three persons co-existent, co-equal, co-eternal, you can talk about one God all you want to. You're saying there are three people, three gods, and they're all equal, co-equal, co-eternal.

And so you're saying there are three gods. But they don't, they get around it, they get around it, but they don't answer the scripture. There's a neat one in Matthew 11. And what is it about? Verse 24 is one that I've really enjoyed.

What we're talking about is the table of the Lord. The Lord, you open up to him, he comes into you, and he feeds you on his divine nature, which begets. See, your inward nature is not created. God doesn't create it with a word, he begets it from his life.

That's why Jesus now is called, he's not called the only begotten anymore, he's called the first begotten. See, Jesus is the first begotten. Yes?

Is that why Adam believed that Eve was begotten?

Exactly. Exactly. Adam didn't create Eve. She was begotten from him when he was in a sleep, and that sleep typifies Calvary. In the sleep of Calvary, the bride is begotten from Jesus. And as Peter says, you're a partaker of the divine nature.

The divine nature. The Jews had a time with this. Remember they said, how can the son of David be Christ, or something like that, because that makes him God? Remember what Jesus said? He quoted a psalm, the Lord, referring to the Father, said to my Lord, referring to the Messiah, and then he said, but the scripture says, ye are all gods, ye are all children for the most high.

That's what Jesus said. But notice this, don't you love verse 27? All things have been committed to me by my Father, no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

And then again, in John 14, about verse 20, this is a favorite of mine, because it shows you that you don't come to know the Father by figuring it out. The Father is a person. And there is such a thing as coming to know the Father.

See, first we know Jesus in salvation, then we know the Holy Spirit in Pentecost, now God wants to take us further until we understand about the Father, and the thing that the Father demands is obedience.

You cannot know God apart from stern obedience. That's why my slogan is, that they are going to put on my gravestone, Iron Righteousness, Fiery Holiness, Stern Obedience to the Father. Iron Righteousness, Fiery Holiness, Stern Obedience to the Father.

Don't you love it? Oh, I love that, right on my gravestone. Alright, now, John 14, around verse 20, on that day, now the key is on that day, you will see me, see verse 19, you will see me because I live, you also live.

Now, when we live by Christ's life, by eating his flesh and drinking his blood, when we learn to live and depend on him as he turns to the Father, then this is what happens, on that day, when the Lord alone is exalted, you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me, he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. That's how you learn about the Father, is by feeding on the body and blood of Christ and keeping his commandments.

And eventually the Father loves you because you did what he said, he said, this is my son, hear him. And when you hear the Son and do what he says, it's not long before the Father makes himself known to you.

You can just, you get, what can I say, you get a deep sense in your spirit of the presence of God, and you can.

Just feel it, the presence of the Father. Yes? The verse that you read in Matthew 11, it informs to me that it's the Lord's decision on whether you're going to ever know the Father or not.

Yep. And the way you do it, the big criterion is that you do what Jesus said. If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And see, this is where evangelical theology has gone nuts. Now, here's a new one.

Here's a new one. Well, it's not so new either. But a good pastor called me, and he said, he just finished a course, I think he said it was a 10-hour course, and this man presented grace in a way that he'd never heard it.

And he said, it sounds so much like your teaching, I'd like you to listen to the tapes. I said, okay, during the millennium I will, because right now I'm busy. I said, could you tell me roughly what the problem is?

He said, it sounds like it isn't quite right. And I said, well, he said, what he's stressing is Christ in you. I said, that's good. That's right. Christ in you. And then I said, but how does it work out?

See, how does this play out? And he said, this is the teaching. The grace is Christ in you, but there's absolutely nothing that you do. Christ in you does it. Now, that's a very confident, powerful delusion.

Because you see, it projects an image in your mind that sounds like it could be right. Okay, grace is Christ in me. I'll go that far. In this final analysis, grace is Jesus Christ. Okay, that's God's grace.

Alright, grace is in me. Christ is in me. Salvation is by faith through grace, and that's the grace. Now, how does it work out? You do nothing. Christ does it. Now, isn't that, he's not the only one. I've heard that before.

Isn't that an attractive, I mean, isn't that hard to see anything wrong with that? To see something wrong with that, you've got to know the scripture. You've got to be able to go through the Bible in your mind, particularly the New Testament, and begin to call it verses.

And then you immediately see the error of it. The only problem with that magnificent doctrine is, it's not taught in the New Testament. The New Testament doesn't talk like that. The New Testament repeats over and over, do these things, do these things, do these things.

It doesn't teach that if Christ is in you, Christ will do it. It does not teach that. It teaches that you are to do it. Well, then someone could say, well that means we're being saved by works. No, it doesn't mean that.

It means that as we read the word of God and see what Christ wants, what do we do? Pray. Pray. You make the word live through prayer. As you study the scripture, see the scripture is like a mirror. And when you look into the scripture, you see if there's dirt on your face.

And every day your face gets dirty, physically and spiritually. And as you look in the mirror, as you read the word, the Lord will show you something for that day that needs a little work on it. It won't always be the same thing.

And when you're reading the word, you say, oh, I didn't realize the Lord said that. Then you go to prayer and say, Lord, I need help. I want to do what you're saying. And you see the secret of it is, I like to boil it down by this, it's the sword of the Lord and of Gideon.

It is not just Christ. If you try to make Christ do it all, your life will become static. It will stop because it's not Bible. If you try to do it all, if you try to go through, I remember a fellow, I had a long argument about him.

He said, the Lord says, if a man smites you on one cheek, turn the other. And he had a whole bunch of stuff like that. He wanted to do like Arthur Blessed and just leave his family, make a wooden cross and carry it through town.

He felt this would be his best way of really keeping the things that the Lord said in the Sermon on the Mount. And I went toe to toe with him. And I said, that's not how you do it. When you try to do it all yourself, what happens is you become frustrated and discouraged and it doesn't work.

If you try to make Christ do it all, your experience will stop. It will stagnate because that's not Bible. We're constantly exhorted to do what he said, to pray, to shun fornication, to purify yourself and all kinds of things, present your body a living sacrifice.

So that's not scriptural and it will not work. On the other hand, if you try to do it yourself without Christ, you'll soon find out you can't do it. You can't purify yourself without Jesus. Like Paul said, I try not to covet.

It's like trying to put socks on an octopus. You just get one sock on and out go these other seven legs out like here. And by the time you get over to one of these, the sock is off the first one. And it's an endless thing.

You can't deal with your carnal nature. So it's the sword of the Lord and of Gideon. And I like to say 51 the Lord, 49 Gideon. Yes?

It's an evil relationship with the Lord.

Not a real relationship, because if the Lord says, if you love me, keep my commandments, and you say, I'm going to wait till you keep them in me, you've been disobedient. He didn't say, I will keep the commandments if you let me in.

He said, you keep them. So if there is a secret to the Christian life, it's the keeping the balance between God's part and your part. Because if you overemphasize either one, salvation does not operate.

You have to read the word and do what it says, and you do what it says by praying, having fellowship, giving, serving, coveting the best gifts, doing all the things. You have to do what the Bible says.

And many, many things we can do without the Lord doing it in us. You know, people act like, I don't dare do anything because I can't do anything at all. And I want to give you a good antidote for that attitude, and it is, we're getting into another area here, but that's alright.

There's a real good antidote for that, and it's in 1 Corinthians 15 .34. This is another one of my favorites. You can see I've got a bunch of favorites that I harp on. 1 Corinthians 15 .34. Because this just puts an arrow right through the heart of this thing, wait for Jesus to do it in you.

Puts an arrow right through the heart. Come back to your senses. Sinning. Now what does that do for waiting for Christ to do it in you? It makes you a person without sense. Just quit it. Don't you love it?

That's a wonderful balance for this super mysterious, I can't do anything, I have to wait until Christ does it in me. That's a perfect antidote. What should I do? Stop sinning. Well I can't. Well then pray.

Come boldly to the throne of grace. Then the Lord will make intercession for you. You'll get help. But above all, stop sinning. But nobody's perfect. Stop sinning. But we all have to sin while we're in this world.
