. . . . Well, good morning, everyone. Welcome to Mountain Baptist Church. Take your song books and turn to song number 11. Song number 11. We'll sing He Died for Me. And if you would stand, we'll sing song number 11. . . . . I saw one hanging on a tree in agony and blood. He fixed his languid eyes on me as near his cross I stood. Oh, can it be upon a tree the Savior died for me. His soul is through my heart to thank He died for me. Sure, never tell my latest breath can I forget that look. It seemed to change me with His death though not a word He spoke. Oh, can it be upon a tree the Savior died for me. My soul is thrilled my heart is filled to thank He died for me. My conscience found and owned the guilt and plunged me in despair. I saw my sins His blood had spilled and helped to nail Him there. Oh, can it be upon a tree the Savior died for me. My soul is thrilled my heart is filled to thank He died for me. Alas, I knew not what I did but now my tears are vain. My trembling soul behead for I the Lord have slain. Oh, can it be upon a tree the Savior died for me. My soul is thrilled my heart is filled to thank He died for me. A second look which I freely all forgive. This blood is for my ransom paid. I die that thou mayth live. Oh, can it be upon a tree the Savior died for me. My soul is thrilled my heart is filled to thank He died for me. Alright, let's pray. Heavenly Father, we just want to thank you God for this beautiful day you've given us to meet in your house and to hear your word preached. I pray, Lord, that you would receive all the honor and all the glory out of everything that's said and done for it's in Jesus' name we ask all that Amen. Alright, you may be seated and turn turn to song number three there we go got it. Song number three we'll sing Jesus Paid It All song number three. I hear the Savior say thy strength indeed is small child of weakness watch and pray find in me thine all in all Jesus paid it all all to Him I own sin had left a crimson stain He washed in white as snow for now indeed I find thy power in thine alone can change the leopard spots and mount the heart of stone Jesus paid it all all to Him I own sin had left a crimson stain He washed in white as snow for nothing good have I whereby thy grace to claim I'll wash my garments wide in the blood of Calvary's lamb Jesus paid it all all to Him I own sin had left a crimson stain He washed in white as snow and when before the throne I stand in Him complete Jesus died my soul to save my lips the lamb shall still repeat Jesus paid it all all to Him I own sin had left a crimson stain He washed in white as snow amen that thing's seen better days welcome to Mount Baptist Church on this Sunday morning and just some announcements here just want to welcome everybody I know we have some that are out that aren't feeling well so just be in prayer for those but upcoming events here we have a soul winning marathon that we're going to be doing down in Charleston so that's going to be June 19th so not this Saturday but the Saturday after we'll be getting all the information as far as where we're going to be meeting up and and all that to you shortly I contacted the churches Providence Baptist Church is down there in Charleston and the pastor it's Jeremy James who's been up here many times that's the church he goes to and basically they're actually going on some trip that weekend but they may have some church members that want to join up with us so we may have some from their church that are going to kind of meet up with us wherever we meet at some Panera so I'm going to try to find a Panera because that's just the way we do things right now actually anywhere that we can get some kind of breakfast food to get started on that but I want to you know if anybody has never been soul winning or you know feels you know basically like they couldn't talk don't worry about it if you come out to this we'll just make you a silent partner you can just come there get some bagels and just kind of walk around with us as we go and preach the gospel and just kind of see what how it's done and all that stuff I think it's going to be really fruitful but be in prayer for the weather because we can't predict that you know so hopefully it's not you know pouring down rain we had that happen to us when we were in Wheeling where we kind of just kind of combined it all in the morning to where we you know went out a little further because then it like was just torrential downpours after that so be in prayer for that because obviously we don't want to be out in a torrential downpour and we had the prayer meeting on there but that's not until the end of the month and then we had the sign up sheet for the retreat so if you haven't yet I put some people on there that told me they were coming so I put it on there but we're coming down to where we're going to be running out of cabins so I think we got everybody but if you haven't yet and you want to come then put your name on there if anything I might be able to get you a room and that seems like every year if we run out of cabins they have a whole resort there at Canane to where there's rooms but also I'm going to be talking to them about you know renting out a conference area so Pastor Burzins is going to come out and be with us for the retreat and so on Thursday and Friday I may try to get a conference area in the resort to where we can meet up there and then I think it'll just be a lot more comfortable to do it that way with bathrooms and all that stuff and that you know as we get bigger it's just going to be harder to meet up at one person's cabin and be like alright and just destroy that person's cabin because everybody's using the bathroom in that cabin or whatever but anyway I'm excited for the trip obviously it's June right now it's September at the end of September that we're having it but trying to get all the ducks in a row there but it should be a good time obviously I've always had a good time going out there and then service times everything's normal on here as far as our service times today and throughout the week soul winning we're going to be meeting up and teaming up before one o'clock to go out soul winning today so be in your places if you want to go out soul winning today but don't forget that Monday and Tuesday I think everything's back to schedule this week so brother Richie leads up the Monday soul winning time and then brother Charles leads up the Tuesday soul winning time but just always be on the whatsapp because that stuff can change depending on work schedules and all that stuff so those are a little more malleable when it comes to that but they're pretty consistent as far as unless they can't make it for some reason but a lot of times in that case you can still go out even if brother Richie or brother Charles have to work or they can't go for some reason or they're sick or whatever but then get on the whatsapp and maybe other people can meet up at that same time and then birthdays so we have some birthdays that we already did but we have so today's the 6th so wow it's your birthday today so that cake is like for you right no I'm just kidding yeah Miss Ruth obviously she makes a cake at the beginning of every month for all the birthdays of that month and I did not eat that right now because I would not be able to preach her cakes are like the densest things in the world they're good but man it is not a light type of cake it's not angel food cake where you just like shove that whole thing in your mouth and eat it but we'll say happy birthday for you and you're like who would do that I don't know who would do that and then we have so Emma's not yet and then we have anniversaries do we have oh so the Russell's but they're not here today so we'll get them later and then pregnancies so I think everybody knows I'm just going to say it that Rachel's pregnant because I'm pretty sure I was holding it back because everybody I was just like well you know it's kind of early and all that stuff but then everybody's just talking about it so I just figured everybody's going to know so we have 6 on the list here and so we have 5 on the list but there's actually 6 so just be in prayer for all these so what our whole church is pregnant is that what's going on no I'm just kidding no but definitely a blessing but be in prayer for all these ladies obviously throughout the pregnancy and obviously we have ladies that are in different portions of that pregnancy some just beginning some are getting further along but be in prayer for them and so all that to say you know the typical announcements the mother baby room in the back there behind the wall the bookshelf there that is for mothers and babies only so no men and we're going to try to keep the bigger children out of there during the service and after the service and then the other two rooms any parent any child you need to take out you can use those rooms offering box in the back there and so yep that's about it so brother Dave is going to come and sing one more song and who's reading this morning brother Joseph is going to be reading 1 Timothy chapter 4 alright take your song

So you're there in 1 Timothy chapter 4, and I actually forgot to mention what our chapter memory and what our memory verse is, so we're going to Galatians chapter 2 this month for our chapter memory for the month, and then actually in 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 10 is our memory verse. So you can see that there where it says for therefore we both labor and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God and the believer of all men, especially of those that believe. So I'm actually, we're continuing our study through or basically exposing Calvinism. So stabbing that sacred cow of Calvinism, and we're going through all five points of the TULIP. So if you remember, TULIP stands for total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, and then irresistible grace, perseverance of the saints. Now if you don't remember these, that's fine. But the reason that I'm bringing this up is because this is a false doctrine that is in a lot of Baptist churches. This is a false doctrine that's out there when you go out soul winning. So when someone brings this up to you, and they talk about total depravity, and you're like what are you talking about? Now, I say that loosely that you should care because those type of people aren't going to want to hear the gospel in a lot of cases anyway. So if someone brings up some theological term that you don't know, and then they're high and mighty because you don't know it, and you say hey, well can I show you what the gospel is according to the Bible, and they don't want to hear it, then he that is unjust, let him be unjust still. He that is filthy, let him be filthy still. I just view it as that way, that if you don't want to hear the gospel, these terms that are brought up that's in their TULIP are not in the Bible. Total depravity is not a term in the Bible. Unconditional election is not a term in the Bible. Limited Atonement is not a term in the Bible. Irresistible grace is not a term in the Bible. And perseverance of the saints is not a term in the Bible. So these are all made up terms or made up phrases that they made up. So it you know, it's the sovereignty of God's not in the Bible. So you know what, if you don't remember these terms, I'm good with that. But at the same time, there's good doctrine that I want to teach you in each one of these points. So the whole point of this is to show you okay, this is false but here's good doctrine. You know, here's what the Bible teaches on the subject. Now this is the one I hate more than any other. Limited Atonement. Limited Atonement. So let me read to you basically the definition that they would bring forth here for Limited Atonement. It says, Limited Atonement or Definite Atonement or particular redemption. Is the doctrine accepted in some Christian theological traditions. It is particularly associated with the Reformed tradition and is one of the five points of Calvinism. The doctrine states that though the death of Jesus Christ is sufficient to atone for the sins of the whole world, it was an intention, the intention of God the Father that the atonement of Christ's death would work itself out in only the elect. Thereby leading them without fail to salvation. According to Limited Atonement, Christ died for the sins of the elect alone. See the forked tongue in there? They're like, well, it's sufficient for the whole world, but he died for the elect alone. So when you come up to somebody and say, hey, you know, you don't believe Jesus died for the world, they're going to be like, well, no, we believe he died for the world. Or they'll believe it's sufficient for the world, but that he didn't die for the world. And they even say, well, we believe he died for the world, but he only died for the elect alone. We can't have it both ways. He either died for everybody or he died just for those that get saved. Sorry, I'm getting off track already. I haven't even got through their definition, but it just angers me to see how they just forked tongue this thing into what they believe. It says, no atonement was provided for the reprobate. This is in contrast to the belief that God's brilliant grace or enabling grace enables all to respond to the salvation offered by God and Jesus Christ so that it is each person's decision in response to God's grace that determines whether Christ's atonement will be effective to the individual. So, you know, basically it's stating that they believe that only the elect are saved and we already kind of covered this in the unconditional election, that they believe that God is the one that chooses who's going to get saved based off no condition at all or any type of attributes by the person at all. It has nothing to do with that person at all. He just picks that person and picks this person for heaven, picks this person for hell, has nothing to do with whether they believe or not or whether they, you know, whatever the case may be, you know what? He just chooses who's going to get saved based off no condition of the person themselves, okay? And then, so basically they state that well, that means he only died for the people that end up getting saved or the people that he chooses, okay? So that's why it's called limited atonement because it's limited to those that are the elect and it's called, you know, particular redemption because that redemption is only to a particular group of people that God chooses himself to be saved, okay? And so, the heresy of this is the fact that the Bible is very clear that Jesus died for everybody, okay? That he, when he was on the cross, he took the sins of the whole world and I'm going to show you some verses on this, but this is very blasphemous. It's a very blasphemous doctrine that it's only, you know, that he didn't die for everybody or that it's limited, okay? Now, in 1 Timothy chapter 4, this is the first I want to show you here and this is our memory verse and I believe this is one of the best places if you're saying, well, what are you going to do to prove this because they're going to talk around a lot of stuff, okay? When it says all, they're like, well, that's all the elect, you know? And so, when you see the term like, he died for all men or he, you know, all this, you know, when they use the term all, they're like, well, that's all of this group over here and they'll just talk around it, but add that on to his words, and that will be found a liar. So, stop adding to the word of God in these cases. Now, in 1 Timothy chapter 4 and verse 9, it says, this is a faithful saying worthy of all acceptation, for therefore we both labor and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God, who is the savior of all men, especially of those that believe. These things command and teach. Now, what's awesome about this verse, and I'm going to show you other verses, but this verse right here, you know, I really want to know like, what they say about this. Because, notice that it says he's the savior of all men, especially of those that believe. Okay? So, if the all is talking about all the elect, and it's just talking about the elect, then why would there be a qualifier that is especially for those that believe? Right? So, he's the savior of those that don't believe as well. That's what it's stating. So, all those that are in hell, he was their savior, but it's not imputed if they don't believe. Okay? Because they have to have that condition, but he is the savior of the world. He is the savior of anybody that doesn't believe in him, but it's not, you know, it's not counted unto them for righteousness unless they believe. Right? That means salvation's out there for everybody. He died for everybody's sins. The sins can be wiped away from every single person in the world, but there's a condition. If that's I confess with thy mouth, O Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved. There's a condition to get it. Okay? But it doesn't mean it's limited, meaning that it's only to this group of people that God forces to be saved. Now, let me show you some other ones, but do you see how that one is particularly, like, when it says all men, he's the savior of all men, how could you say that that's a subset of people? Right? Now, in 1 John chapter 2, 1 John chapter 2, go to 1 John chapter 2, and the thing is, the unconditional election and limited autonomy, see how these work hand in glove? Because the unconditional election is stating that God chooses a certain small group of people to get saved. The rest he damns to hell. And what they're going to say is that, well, he didn't, his blood didn't cover the sins of those, or basically he didn't apply for those that he didn't choose. That's their warped mentality on this. Whereas the Bible is very clear that he's the savior of all men, especially of those that believe. So that means he's the savior of us, right? We believe, but he's also the savior of everybody else, too. It's just the fact that it's special to us because we're redeemed from hell, right? Because we've taken the gift of salvation, we have eternal life, it's out there still waiting for a lot of people, and I'm going to show you some other ones that are, I don't know how they refute them, but here's a lot of ones that I would bring up. You know, when I go out sowing, I bring this up a lot, the fact that he died for everybody. Notice in 1 John 2 and verse 1, it says, My little children, these things write I unto you that you sin not, and if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. You see that? Now, they'll talk around it, like, well, that whole world is just the elect that's not in this epistle, right? Like, they're like, well, he's talking to the people in the epistle, and it's like, it's not just for us, brethren, the people I'm talking to, it's for all the other elect. Do you see anything like that, though? Do you see how ridiculous, you have to turn the Bible on its head to say something that dumb? To say that, well, when it says that he's the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, you know, it's just basically they have to start inserting what they believe. They have to start inserting words in there that aren't there. Go to 2 Peter, chapter 3. 2 Peter, chapter 3. I used a lot of these already, you know, kind of leading up to this sermon, because here's the thing about Calvinism that I hate the most, is that they believe that God didn't die for everybody. So this middle point of limited atonement is the one that I hate the most, because it's limiting what my Savior did for the world. And notice what it says in 2 Peter, chapter 3, in verse 9. It says, the Lord is not slack concerning His promise that some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. So you're going to see a lot of terms. You're going to see all, you're going to see any, you're going to see every. So the question I'm going to ask you is after I go through this list here, what would he need to say? I kind of asked that question last week when we were going through the unconditional election. What would he need to say to convince you that he died for every single person? Would he need to say I died for every single person, not just those that will believe on me that are the elect. And when I say I died for them, that means that I actually bore their sins on my body, and you know, like does he have to like spell it out like that, or can he just say I die for all men? Can he say that I die for the sins of the whole world? That I'm the propitiation of the sins of the whole world? That he's not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Anybody that's just looking at English grammar and read that verse, they'd be like, he doesn't want anybody to go to hell. He wants everybody to get saved. Wouldn't you say that? Go to 1 Timothy chapter 2. 1 Timothy chapter 2 and verse 3. You know what this doctrine does though? Because there are saved people that get sucked into Calvinism, okay? But you know what this does? It makes you not want to go soul winning. Because if God elects from the beginning who's going to believe on him, then what do we need to do anything for? Why are we trying to convince people? Because we're going to get to the irresistible grace. It's irresistible. What do we need to do anything for? Why are we persuading men? Why do we, you know, as the Bible says, knowing the fear of God, we persuade men. Why would we do that? And I'm getting off to another point, so I'll say that for irresistible grace. But in 1 Timothy chapter 2 and verse 3, notice what it says. It says, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. He wants everybody to be saved. He doesn't want any to perish. Again, it's like salvation. You think about the fact that salvation's eternal life, right? It's never-ending. And how many ways does he have to say, you have eternal life. You'll never die. You'll live forever. I will no wise cast you out. No man's able to pluck you out of my hand, right? And he just keeps going on and on and on, like different ways to say the same thing. And the same thing with when it comes to that he died for everybody, it's saying that he's the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe. He's a propitiation for our sins, but not for ours only, right? Not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. Then he says, he's not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and that he'll have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Are you done? No, not quite. Go to Hebrews chapter 2. Hebrews chapter 2. Hebrews chapter 2. I want to show you how ridiculous this limited atonement doctrine is. It's ridiculous, but it's also blasphemous. Because he died for everybody, and he deserves the glory for dying for everybody. That's what it says. You know, when the Bible says, who's own self bear our sins in his own body on the tree that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, you know, by whose stripes you were healed. You know, the idea of him bearing the sins of the world and then people saying, eh, it wasn't for everybody. It was just for those that would believe. No, he died for everybody. And that's why it is sad that most people go to hell because he died for all those people. And he deserves the glory of them believing on him and trusting on him and, you know, receiving that salvation. Notice what it says in Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 9. Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 9. But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Alright, now we got a different one, right? Well, all, you know, that's a subset. Every man. He died for every man. He doesn't want any of the parish. He's the savior of all men. He's not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world. How many different ways does he need to say it? Well, go to Romans chapter 5. Romans chapter 5, because I'm not done yet on my tour day fours to show you that he died for everybody. And then I'll get to some of their arguments. So Romans chapter 5 verse 18. Now, they actually use this passage, which is funny to me, but what they're going to try to do is twist it to say something we don't believe. Notice what it says in Romans chapter 5 and verse 18. Romans chapter 5 and verse 18. It says, therefore, as by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation. Now, let me ask you a question. Before we keep reading there, is everybody condemned? When Adam sinned, because it's talking about the one, it's talking about Adam, right? Adam sinned, therefore all die, right? And we all have sin nature, but it wasn't, we didn't all just sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression because all have sinned, right? Everybody has sinned. It's not just like we die because Adam sinned. It's because Adam sinned, sin came into the world, and we're all sinners, be based off that, right? But we all choose the sin, okay? But the thing is that when it says all men to condemnation, are we talking about a specific group of people or everybody? Right? Now, notice what it says. Even so, by the righteousness of one, now that's talking about Jesus, so the one where it's under condemnation, that's talking about Adam, but the one under righteousness, it says, by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men under justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one, shall many be made righteous. So, unless all just changed meanings in that verse, okay? It's like, we gotta take it in context. Well, is everybody in the whole world condemned or not? Now, what they're gonna try to twist this to say is, like, well, you're teaching universalism then. Then you're saying that everybody's gonna go to heaven. No. Most people when they read this verse are not taking that out. They're like, everybody's saved now. Okay? How about this in Hebrew chapter 6, but I don't have this in my notes, but it says, when it's talking about, you know, if they shall fall away, it's impossible to renew them again under repentance. It's talking about reprobates, people that, you know, basically are rejected by God. What does it say? There's a list of things they tasted of the gift, right? The gift of God. They tasted of the heavenly gift. That's specifically what it says. So, when it says that the free gift came upon all men's justification of life, you know what it's saying? It's saying that even the person that becomes a reprobate tasted of that heavenly gift. Okay? So, listen, for the gift to come upon all men, that doesn't mean they received it, though. It just means that that gift is available to all men. Just as much as all men are sinners and condemned because of one man's transgression at the very beginning, because of one man's obedience and dying on the cross for us and taking the sins of the world, that one man's righteousness right there means that that gift came upon all men. You know, the Bible says the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. You know, that's what it's talking about. And it says that in Titus chapter 2. The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. That means the gift of God has come upon all unto justification of life. But, there's a condition. That means that that gift's out there for everybody. But, you have to believe. It's who shall believe it. Who shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. But, it's offered to everybody. Now, go to 2 Peter chapter 2. In this one, I've never heard them answer this one. Because, again, 1 Timothy chapter 4 I believe is, you know, you want to answer somebody on this because when they don't like the term all, when you say he's the savior of all men, especially of those that believe, that means that all men there is talking about people that don't believe as well. Okay? It's very clear. I don't see how they can get around that unless they believe that people are saved without believing. Okay? That's the only way that you get around that is that, well, all these people are elect because they didn't believe. Now, I guess you'd have to be a Zionist then because they believe the Jews are God's elect, you know, because of just the way they're born. But, the Bible says that whether Jew or Gentile, that I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believe it, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. So, tell me that the Jews don't need to believe too. No, it's by faith that anybody's going to get to heaven and no one is just granted that without believing. Now, in 2 Peter chapter 2, we're dealing with false prophets, okay? When you're looking at this passage, you're talking about wells without water to whom is reserved the mist of darkness forever. Now, Jude talks about these same people, Cain and Balaam and Korah. It says trees whose fruit wither it, twice dead, plucked up by the roots, raging waves of the sea, foaming at their own shame, wondering stars to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. We're talking about people that are rejected, they're not just dead in trespasses and sins, they're twice dead in trespasses and sins. They are reprobate, they're rejected. Well, 2 Peter's talking about these false teachers. Notice what it says here in verse 1, it says, but there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that, what, bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. Did you know that he even bought the false prophet? Even Balaam bought him. Now, go to 1 Corinthians chapter 6, because I'm going to show you that terminology is used to talk about you know, the fact that we're not our own, we're bought with a price. So, when Jesus rose from the dead, it says that, you know, I am the first and the last, I am he that liveth and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore, amen, behold I have the keys of hell and of death. When he rose from the dead, he bought salvation for everybody. But, it's just like it says in Hebrew chapter 4, that you know, those that I'm going to misquote it, so let me just get to it. It says, let us therefore fear lest the promise being left us of entering in his rest, and if you should seem to come short of it, for unto us was the gospel preached as well as unto them, but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. See, the gospel is not going to profit you unless you believe. You have to have the faith mixed in there, or it's not going to help. So, the same thing with the fact that he bought salvation for everybody, right? The gift of salvation is to everybody. And he purchased salvation for every single person, but, you have to accept it. Now, 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 19, it says, what? Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? Are we talking about saved or lost person here? We have the fact that the Holy Ghost is living inside of them. For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. So, it's basically saying, you know, you're saved, you've been bought with a price, you know, because you've been bought by the blood of Christ. He's purchased you with his own blood, the Bible says, and, but, did you know that he even bought the false prophet? They're denying the Lord that bought them. Put that in your Calvinist pipe and smoke it. Okay, even the false prophet, you know what, he died for him. You know what, we're in pride month right now, and we believe that, that, you know, homos and queers are reprobate, meaning to get to that point where you're sleeping with another man, and you're a man, or child molesters, and all these different things, to get to that point, you have to be past feeling, you have to be giving over to vile affections, but guess what, Jesus died for them too. And the only reason that they're not going to go to heaven is because they won't believe. You know, even the reprobate, you know why they're not, you know why they're going to be cast in hell? Because they're unbelieving. Because they didn't put their trust in Christ. We don't believe that, you know, basically it's just that sin that's, you know, it's like, well he didn't pay for that sin. No, he's a propitiation, not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Do you think, and you say, do you think he died for those sins? I believe he died for every sin. Every sin. And, you know what, that's what the Bible teaches. But the reason that certain people that are past feeling, or have fallen away, or even these false teachers, it's not that he didn't buy them, it's not that he didn't purchase their salvation, it's the fact that they deny them, that they're not going to go to heaven. So, I don't know how they answer that, but here's their logic, okay, and here's the thing, if you have to go into philosophy, if you have to lead the Bible and go into philosophy to prove your point, you're wrong. Okay, because if you can't prove your point with Bible verses, and that's it, then you got the wrong doctrine. Okay, and by the way, if you have to go back to another language, and can't prove it through the English King James Bible, you have the wrong doctrine. And by the way, it says the same thing in Greek. And I don't speak Hebrew, but I believe by faith that it says the same thing in Hebrew. But I have read through the New Testament in Greek, and guess what, it says the exact same thing in Greek that it says in English, and you don't need to go back to the Greek to figure out what the true meaning is. It says the same thing. So if I have to go back and be like, well, in the Greek it says this, and then I change the definition to go show you something, then I'm off on and out in left field somewhere. Okay. You know, usually if I'm going to talk about the Greek, I'm usually pointing out the fact that people are dumb that are trying to go back to the Greek, and that actually the King James Bible is right. Because you don't have to do that. And that's what they'll usually do, be like, well, in the Greek, when it says, whosoever, it means just all those that believe. I'm just telling you the arguments they're going to bring up. And when it says every, ah, well, you know, in the Greek, you know, in that tense, and all this other, listen, you know, they're just selling you a bill of goods when they do that. Because it says the exact same thing in English as it says in the Greek, and you know what, if they can't prove it to you through the English, then they're out to lunch. Now what they're going to say is that, well, if if if only a few people are getting saved, and obviously the Bible teaches that, there are few there be that find it. Okay, so I'm not here to say that most people are going to heaven. But the argument is, did he die for everybody though? Did you know, did he take the sins of the whole world upon him, or was it just for those that would believe on him? So, you know, we all agree that few are going to actually get saved, but what they'll say is that, well, if only a few are going to get saved, then that would be like double jeopardy. If, you know, Jesus died for everybody's sins, you know, but then you know, they went to hell and had to pay for their sins. That's double jeopardy. Well, let's look at the definition of double jeopardy, because people don't know what double jeopardy means. Okay, so double jeopardy is a clause in the fifth amendment. Okay, so let me just read you a little excerpt. Okay, and then I'll explain, and I'm not a lawyer here, but they clearly aren't lawyers because I'm going to tell you real quick how this doesn't make sense to be double jeopardy. Okay, it says the double jeopardy clause in the fifth amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits anyone from being prosecuted twice for substantially the same crime. Okay, so the idea is that basically if I were tried for murder, okay, and I was acquitted, they can't just say, alright, we're going to try you again for the same crime after you've been acquitted. That's called double jeopardy, okay. Now, if there's new evidence that's brought forth, that's different, right, if they're like, well, we have different evidence, but they can't try you on the same crime with the same evidence twice. That's the clause, right, essentially. But I want you to, you know, just listen to this, okay. The relevant part of the fifth amendment states no person shall be subject to the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb. No single person can be put twice, okay. Now, last I checked, I'm a different person than Jesus. Just really bottom shelf here, okay. Jesus died for my sins and my crimes, okay. Was I punished for my crimes? Was I put on trial for my crimes? Have I stood before the great white throne judgment and been tried for my crimes and been found innocent and been found, you know, acquitted of my crimes? Then don't give me this double jeopardy garbage, because that's not double jeopardy. Double jeopardy would be if I was acquitted for my crimes and then I lost my salvation and went to hell. That would be double jeopardy because I was acquitted by the blood of Christ, and yet, you know, I can't be twice put into jeopardy because I was acquitted. I was found innocent because I believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. But listen, just because Jesus died for everybody doesn't mean everybody's found innocent. You know, that's called universalism when it comes to the doctrine of grace as far as, you know, he died for everybody, therefore everybody's saved. Everybody's covered. So, do you see how that doesn't pan out? Double jeopardy in the fact that, well, that means that, you know, the payment was paid twice. Well, here's first of all, double jeopardy's not in the Bible, so put that in your pipe and smoke it. You say, well, you know, that means Jesus paid for their sins and then they're going to have to pay for their sins. Yep, that's exactly right. Next question. Where's the problem? Where's the verse to say that that's wrong? Okay, you know what that means? Those people that will be in hell and outer darkness for all eternity will have to say that they could have had their sins paid for and Jesus said, I paid for it, but you didn't accept it. For all eternity, they're without excuse. And they are without excuse. And Romans 1 says they're without excuse because he paid for their sins and they they did not, they were not thankful and they held the truth in their righteousness and their foolish heart was darkened but that does not mean that he didn't pay for their sins and this double jeopardy, you know what, it doesn't pan out. It doesn't pan out. So, and they have all this philosophical, it's like, well, if there's a river full of people that are going to fall off a waterfall and, you know, you had to choose, you can only save so many people, you know, then it's not like he's he's like this horrible person it's like if you were there, right, and there's like people just falling off this waterfall and you just have to pick, you just got to try to snatch people out of there but you're not going to be able to save everybody. Well, if that were the case and it was just about the fact that God, are you telling me God's not powerful enough to save them all? Is that what you're telling me? I thought he was sovereign. I thought he was all powerful to the point where he could just save as many people as he wants. So, you know, yeah, for me, if I'm overhearing that people just falling off this waterfall, yeah, of course, because I'm a man and I'm limited in power, but if God's omnipotent, which means he's all powerful, then he could save them all if he wanted to. But the problem is, is that he gave us free will. And he chose that salvation would be through sanctification of the spirit and belief of the truth. So from the foundation of the world, he chose that salvation would be by faith. So that's the way it is. You say, well, that doesn't make sense. I don't care if you think it makes sense. Oh, I don't think that's right. I don't think that makes, I don't think that that's the way it should be. Yeah, there's a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. So tell me again what you think is right. Because I'll say this, God's ways are above our ways. His thoughts are above our, are higher than our thoughts. And these people that are Calvinists, they want to be intellectual giants. But they're a bunch of fools when it comes down to it. Because they don't even understand that double jeopardy is talking about a single person being tried for their crimes twice. And Jesus and that person are two different people. Okay? So let's go on to some of their arguments. Okay? Go to John 6. John 6. John 6 and verse 41. So John 6. John 6. 41. So you use this passage to say, well, it's only a certain amount of people that God calls or draws. Now, I may be getting to this point when this should go into you know, irresistible grace. Maybe I'll come back to this. But again, these things are like hand and glove. They need one to prove the other kind of thing. And this is common with false doctrines. False doctrines are like a snowball, right? You have one, which leads to another false doctrine, which leads to another false doctrine, which leads to another false doctrine, right? And it's just like, well, you know, people in the Old Testament didn't go to heaven. Therefore, when it mentions sons of God in the Old Testament, those must be angels. But unto which the angel said to ye at any time, thou art my son, this day have you got me. You got a problem. By the way, that's in the Septuagint, where it says angels. So all these new versions where it says that angels presented themselves before God and Job, instead of the sons of God, guess where they got it from? They got it from the Greek Septuagint, not from the Hebrew Masoretic Text. So what does that have to do with what I'm talking about? Well, it just has to do with the fact that false doctrines are snowball effects, okay? So in John 6, verse 41, it says the Jews then murmured at him because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? So get context, are these people believers? Are they murmurers, okay? So, I mean, it says the Jews then murmured at him, okay? So you're dealing with murmurers. These aren't people that are like believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, and this isn't Peter talking here. The Jews are saying this to him, and notice what it says in verse 43. Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, murmur not among yourselves. So who's he talking to when he says this next verse? He's talking to those that are murmuring among themselves about the fact that he said he's the bread that came down from heaven. Notice what it says in verse 44. No man can come to me except the father which had sent me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day. So he's stating here that no one can come unto him unless the father draw him. Now, what they'll say is that means that the father only draws certain people. Now, does it say that? Okay, I'm gonna explain this, but does it say that he doesn't draw everybody? Does it say that at all in that verse? I'll submit to you that no one gets saved except they hear the word of God. Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the word of God. You're born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorrupt, by the word of God, which liveth in the body forever. Okay, does that mean, do you see how like, yeah, there's components here, like the father draws you for you to get saved, but does it say that he doesn't draw everybody? Does it say that in that verse, because that's what they wanted to say, but it doesn't say that. So he's pointing out a point. Now, I believe he's bringing it up for a certain reason, because I do believe there's a point where he stops drawing people, okay? But does it say that he only drew people, some people, or that, you know, there's some people he doesn't draw? No, he's just pointing out a fact. No man can come to me except the father which has sent me draw him. Okay. Well, no one can get saved unless Jesus died for us. Like, you can make these statements all day long where they're true, okay? But notice John 12, go to John 12. John 12, notice what Jesus says here. John 12, verse 32. So he'll bring this and be like, well, no one can come unto Jesus unless the father draw him. Okay, what's your point? Well, that means he doesn't draw everybody. No, that's not what it says. Notice what it says in John 12, verse 32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die. So when he's talking about being lifted up, he's talking about like being lifted up like the serpent was lifted up in the wilderness, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. He's saying if I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me. So here's what it comes down to. It doesn't say that he doesn't draw everybody. It doesn't say that he stops drawing anybody. Does it say that? Does it say that the father will not draw certain people or that he stops drawing certain people? Now, I do believe that he stops drawing people because there's a point where they're cut off, right? And the reason I believe he's bringing this up is because they're murmuring against him and saying, how can you be the bread come down from heaven? We know your father, we know your mother, right? We know who you are. How can you be the bread that came down from heaven? And he's making a point that, you know, unless the father draw you, no man can come unto me. And I believe he's making a point because there are people that were standing around Jesus when he was speaking that the father was not drawing anymore because they blasted him against the Holy Ghost. And you know what? There can come a point where the Holy Ghost isn't drawing you too when you say that the Holy Ghost is an unclean spirit. When you say that Jesus is casting out devils by the prince of the devils, Beelzebub, and that's why they said that they blast him the Holy Ghost. There can come a point where God isn't drawing you anymore. But that doesn't mean that he wasn't drawing you before. And how do you make sense of the fact that Jesus said he'll draw all men unto him? And by the way, you have the Trinity here. You have the father drawing, you have Jesus drawing, and you have the Holy Ghost drawing. Listen, if God gives up on them and is not drawing them, then I can't do anything about it. It's just facts that he's pointing out that the father has to draw you or you're not gonna come to the son. But like I said, nothing in there saying he didn't draw them before. And you know what? He's talking to them specifically because I don't believe the father was drawing them anymore. And he's pointing out a fact to them. So, but go to Isaiah chapter 53. Isaiah chapter 53. And this is a point that they're gonna state, is they're gonna state that basically, in a lot of cases, it says many, okay? It says many and not all. Now, we saw all these places where it say all. And they'll say, well, see, it says many, therefore it's not all. Okay, so let me show you some verses on that just to show you that they'll bring these up and be like, well, he died for many. He didn't say he died for everyone. Although, you're just gonna just throw out all those verses that I showed you at the beginning of the sermon, right? It's not that he never says every or all or he doesn't want any to perish or uses that language. It's just the fact that in some case, in a lot of cases, he'll use the term that he died for many. Now, look what it says in Isaiah 53. Isaiah 53, therefore, will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the portion with the strong because he hath poured out his soul unto death and he was numbered with the transgressors and he bare the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors. Okay, so you see that he bare the sin of many. Go to Matthew chapter 20, Matthew chapter 20. So I'm just gonna kinda go through these verses real quick and then I'm gonna explain to you how this will fall on its head with their argument, okay? And notice that they're using, they're like logic, they're trying to logic through it and use philosophy. They're like, well, many, that means that it's not every. That's what they're trying to say. Matthew 20, verse 28, it says, even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many. Go to Matthew 26, Matthew 26 and verse 27. Matthew chapter 26 and verse 27. Matthew chapter 26 and verse 27, it says, and he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it them, saying, drink ye all of it, for this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. So, see, again, many. Go to Hebrews chapter nine, Hebrews chapter nine. Hebrews chapter nine and verse 27. Hebrews chapter nine, verse 27. Hebrews chapter nine, verse 27 says this, it says, and as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. So, do you see, over and over again, it kind of uses this terminology that he died for the sins of many, he gave his life a ransom for many, his blood is shed for many. Now, what's funny about that, let me just say Now, what's funny about that, let me just explain this to you, okay, when I say all, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a lot. Okay, you know, when our church first started, I think we were around 20 or so, as far as the amount of people that were in there, and I said, all the people were at Mountain Baptist Church, but would you say that's a lot, or many? Okay, I guess it's in the eye of the beholder, right? Like, to one person, it may be a lot, to the other person, you'd be like, that's not a lot. In our church, most people would say that's not a lot, that's not many when you think of these mega churches that have thousands of people in them, right? So, when you say all, that doesn't necessarily give you a quantity, does it? It doesn't give you the idea that you're dealing with a lot of people. When you say many, you know what that's stating? That he died for a lot of people. It wasn't a small group of people. It was a large group of people. So, when you couple that with the fact that he died for, he tasted death for every man, he died for all, you know, for all, and that he's not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world, right? For the whole world, for all, for every man, then you understand, that's a lot, okay? So, when it says that he died for the sins of many, that doesn't mean that it's not all. If I said, there were many at church today, does that mean that not everybody was there? Right? That doesn't mean that. I can say there were a lot of people at church today. You know what that can mean? Is that everybody that usually comes was there, and there was people above that. Or that it's just, there's a lot of people that come to our church. We have a lot of members. We have many, right? You could use that language, and it's giving you the quantity, it's giving you that it's not a few, it's a lot, okay? So, when it says many, it's not negating that he died for all, it's just telling you that that's a lot of people, okay? And he's making a point that he died for a lot of people. Innumerable, okay? So, many can mean innumerable, okay? It can mean a number that you can't even count. But how about this, I already went through these verses, you know, at the very beginning of the sermon, but it says in Romans five, or even it says in Hebrews two, where I was talking about he tasted death for every man. It says that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man, for it became him for whom are all things, by whom are all things, and bringing many sons unto glory, to make the cabinet of their salvation perfect through suffering. See, there you're saying he tasted death for every man, then he might bring many sons unto glory. So, just because it uses many, it's just saying that's a lot of people. You know, every person, if I said every person was at church today, does that mean it's a lot? Okay, now I personally, as our church is growing, I look at it as a lot, right? But if you were to compare it to churches that are running 300, 400, 1,000 people, and I said everybody was at church today, and they're like, was that a lot or small? To them, they're gonna be like, that's not a lot. That's not many, right? And Hebrews, I'm sorry, in Romans five, eight, 18, it says therefore, as by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men, to condemnation and even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience, many were made sinners. Well, I guess it was just a lot of people were made sinners, but not everybody, right? And then it goes on to say that so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Do you see how it's giving you a quantity with the many and they all are saying it's everybody? Okay, so and it's giving you a point that it's one man that caused many to become sinners and it's one man that caused many to be made righteous and it's just giving you a quantity. It's giving you that it's a lot. It's a lot of people, okay? Because a lot of people have been born into this world since the foundation of the world. Now go to John chapter 10, John chapter 10 and verse 11. John chapter 10 and verse 11, they'll use this argument and they'll use this argument in a lot of passages, okay? It's a foolish argument, but I want to point out this argument they use. John 10, 11, and first of all, I want you to, I'm gonna read this verse and then I want you to try to figure out in your mind what they're trying to say. Like how are they trying to prove limit in atonement, okay? John 10, 11, it says, I am the good shepherd, the sheep, and I'm sorry, the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. You saw it, right? Verse 15, as the father knoweth me, even so know I the father and I lay down my life for the sheep. I know you're seeing limited atonement in there, aren't you? You see it, right? Oh wait, you don't see it. Let me explain to you how they try to make this limited atonement. They're saying that he only died for the sheep, that he only laid down his life for the sheep. Did it say that? Did it say, I only lay down my life for the sheep? Is that what it said? Because I'm gonna say to you that you're a liar. No, here's the truth of the matter. Did he die for the whole world? Yes. Did he die for all the saved? What's your answer? Yes. So if I said, Jesus died for all those that believe, would that be wrong? Would I be out to lunch to say that? No, but you know what I would say? He's the savior of all men, especially of those that believe. Yeah, he's the savior of those that believe, but he's also the savior of all those that don't believe because he died for them too. Do you see the foolish logic that they're using there? And so that's why when you're reading through, you're not gonna see a lot of this stuff. They do the same thing over and over again. They do this in Romans chapter eight. James White tried to do this to me when I was talking to him. Romans chapter eight, verse 31, it says, what shall we then say to these things? If God be for us who can be against us, he that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Now you saw a limited atonement there too, right? You're like, well, where does he get it from? He's saying that because he's saying us, us, us, us, it's only for the elect. That it's only redemption for the elect. Again, of course it applies to all those that are saved. If you're talking to a whole bunch of saved people, do you think I have to put a qualifier in there every single time I say he died for us? When I say us, I mean just us. No, or you know what, I say he died for us. Now when I say us, of course I mean he died for those that aren't saved too, right? He makes, you know, it's just ridiculous to think that, you know, here's a good way of disproving that. You know that Paul says that, you know, he says my gospel a lot of times. Does that mean that Paul has his own personal gospel and that's it? Do you see how ridiculous that is? Because when Paul says my gospel, guess what, that's my gospel too. Okay, you know what, when I say Jesus is my savior, can't be yours then, he's mine. You know, do you see how ridiculous that is? When I say he's our savior, he's the savior of Mountain Baptist Church. That means he can't be the savior of any other church. I hope I'm putting that on the bottom shelf and how stupid that argument is, right? And the fact that when it says that he's the savior of us, that doesn't negate the rest of the world, okay? That's the argument that's being used and it's stupid. Now, I'm gonna blow through these. You can run with me on this if you want, but these are very familiar passages. And you know what, Calvinists don't like this word. It's called, it's the word whosoever. And they'll be like, you go back in the Greek, it doesn't say whosoever, it says all. Back in the Greek, it doesn't say whosoever, it says this. And so, here's the thing, it's whosoever. And if you read it in Greek, it's gonna mean that. And that's the meaning that's getting across, that's being said. How about all these verses, okay? When it says whosoever, that means, you know, I use this all the time when I'm out soul winning. When I go to John 3.16, there's two things I'm pointing out. It says, whosoever, who does that include? And everybody says, everyone. I don't know if I've ever had anybody say anything different than that. When I say whosoever, they're like, well, that means everybody. I'm like, yeah, that means you, doesn't it? That means me, that means everybody. John 3.15 says that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. And the two things I'm always pointing out in this verse is it says whosoever and it says believes. Right, it says whosoever believeth. So there's the condition, the only condition for salvation is believing, but it's whosoever. John 4.13 says this, Jesus answered and said unto her, whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him, a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Now I guess that whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again only applies to the elect. I guess all the people that are not elect would drink that water and not thirst again. Do you see this rabbit trail of stupid philosophy that has to come down to say that whosoever doesn't apply? Or that doesn't make any sense. Notice John 11, verse 25. By the way, did I mention that whosoever's mentioned 183 times in the Bible, that term whosoever. So I guess in all those places it should just say something different. John 11.25 says Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ the Son of God which should come into the world. Acts 10.43, to him give all the prophets witness that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Romans 9.33, as it is written, behold I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10.11, for the scripture saith whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him for whosoever shall call upon him name of the Lord shall be saved. And then Revelation 22.17, which goes right back to the point of the fact that we have free will. It says in verse 17, it says in the spirit and the bride say come and let him that hear it say come and let him that is athirst come and whosoever will let him take up the water of life freely. So, you know, this limited atonement is a false doctrine. It's heresy of the worst kind in my opinion because it limits what my Savior did. It puts a wet blanket on soul winning because why should we go out soul winning? He only died for the elect and he's choosing those that are gonna believe, so what's the point of preaching the gospel? If God's sovereign to the point where he's gonna force these people to get saved and he's choosing who's gonna get saved anyway, then what are we doing here? You know what, when it comes to church, the main point of church is to get fed so that we can go out and see people saved, get them baptized and to teach them to observe all things. That's our main point. And obviously, there's other things like, okay, the Bible will help you be a better father, be a better mother, but you know what? If you're saved, the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you and ye do not that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teach you of all things and is truth and is no lie and even as it hath taught you shall abide in him, so technically, you could just, as a saved person, read the Bible and figure that all out. But the reason you come to church because it's a battle out there. We are called to be soldiers for Christ and we are called to go out and win people to Christ and win the world to Christ and you know what? It's whosoever. When we go out soul winning, it's whosoever will believe. I don't care what you did, you believe, you're saved. And it's not this matter of, well, he only died for certain people. No, he died for everybody. He's the savior of all men, especially those that believe. He takes the death for every man. And the Bible says that he even bought the false prophet that's denying him. So limited atonement is a false doctrine. If you have any questions about these type of doctrines, again, you say, why are you bringing up false doctrine? Because sometimes false doctrine is the best way to show good doctrine. Because what you do is you take, okay, this is what they say, but here's what the Bible says, plainly. So what's the first three points that we hit? Total depravity, and yes, they're wrong that everybody's born into this world totally depraved, but there is a good doctrine there that people can become that. That there are people that do become reprobate, that become rejected of God, and that's a good doctrine to know. And then you have unconditional election. And you say, well, what's the benefit of that? Well, you can understand the fact that he predestinates us from the foundation of the world because he foreknew that we'd first trust in him. And you can understand this, that God knew who you were and knew you from before the foundation of the world, loved you, knew you were gonna believe in him, and he's been preparing a place for you since the foundation of the world. That's quite a blessing to understand, right? Then limited atonement, what's the thing that you can get out of that? Jesus died for everybody, okay? Jesus died for everybody, and he wants everyone to get saved, okay? There comes a point where they can come to a line and become totally depraved where he no longer wants them to get saved, right? But he did want them to get saved, and he was trying to get them saved. And people probably gave them the gospel to try to get them saved. And so that is something that I hope, when we go through this, that will show you that it makes my feet like Heinz feet, right? That's not the first time that's happened. But hopefully these will give you good doctrine, and if you run into somebody that's Calvinist, they'll give you some ammunition against it. So let's end with the word of the Father. We thank you for today, and thank you for your word, and just thank you for the fact that you died for every single person, and just the love to do that, knowing that most people wouldn't believe that you died for them anyway. And Lord, we just thank you for that mercy and that grace that you've given to the world. And Lord, we love you, and pray that you be with us as we go out soul-winding, in Jesus Christ's name, amen. We'll be able to come and sing one more song, and then we'll be dismissed. All right, take your song books and turn to song number 13. Song number 13 in your song books. We'll sing, Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone? And if you would stand, we'll sing song number 13. Must Jesus bear the cross alone And all the world go free No, there's a cross for everyone And there's a cross for me The consecrated cross I'll bear Till death shall set me free And then go home, my crown to wear For there's a crown for me Upon the crystal pavement down at Jesus' place The crystal pavement down at Jesus' fierce feet Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown And his dear name repeat O precious cross, O glorious crown O resurrection day Ye angels from the stars Come down and bear my soul away
