Is It The Word of God?

Introduction

Good morning. You will open your Bibles to 1 Peter chapter 3. First Peter, the third chapter. As you’re turning there, for those of you who are planners, consider that upcoming we have our gospel meeting beginning just a few weeks from now, March 20th. Our gospel meeting, our spring gospel meeting will be had. And we have plenty of these cards to give out as invites, to invite people to come and hear the word of God preached. That will be a Sunday through Wednesday lesson, March 20th through March 23rd. Please check out and grab some of these invitations to share with those you wish to invite. In 1 Peter chapter 3 and verse 15, many of us may know the verse. But in your hearts, honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for reason for the hope that is in you.

Yet do it with gentleness and respect. If we’re going to consider what the will of the Lord is, we need to read the Bible. And when we consider the Word of God, a lot of questions come up nowadays, and a lot of those questions run along the lines of is the Word of God of God? Is the Bible truly the Word of God? And if so, how can I know that so that I can tell others? What is the reason for the hope that is in me? And perhaps even the more important question to Christianity that branches off of the Word of God is who is Jesus? Now, if we can identify that the Bible is the Word of God, that it is the inspired word of our Creator, then what it says about Jesus holds the answer to the second key question.

So this morning, as we examine the Word of God, consider with me the two questions. Is the Bible the Word of God? And secondly, who is Jesus? Now to answer that question, I think you can see basically two ideas that can be answered by the same answer. Is the Bible the Word of God? Who is Jesus? How can we answer that type of question? Well, there’s a lot of different answers. And first and foremost, let me be clear. Matters such as this take faith. I have to know eventually at some point, I will come whether to be an atheist or to be a Christian or to be a Hindu or to be a Muslim or any type of faith, any type of lack of faith. Eventually it comes to faith.

Do I believe that God created the heavens and the earth as the Bible says, or do I reject it for a different theory that I also have faith in? Raise your hand if you were here at the creation of the world. Then you’re gonna have to take the word of someone for it. Now the question is, who am I going to trust? Well, a good place to start would be if the Bible is the word of God, then I can trust it. The Bible is comprised of about 60 of 66 books, and it’s been written by about 40 different authors. Now, many of you may know this information, but it’s vital to undressing the questions that I’ve laid before you. We think about the fact that it was written from about 1500 BC to nearly 100 AD.

You’re talking over 1500 years. Now, what makes that so interesting? Well, if you consider that the Bible is not one book, as it were, but a collection of books, that changes the equation that we’re gonna examine. You see, the Bible really is a collection of books, in a sense, I’ve heard it called a library of about 66 books. But not only is it about 66 different books, but what is it also? It’s written by different authors. Now, what effect would that play in this conversation? Well, if it’s written by different men and those men lived centuries apart, then we would expect it to have a conflicting message. We would expect that it wouldn’t necessarily be coherent, that it wouldn’t go from point A to point B without some sort of diversion or mistake.

1. Is Proving the Bible by the Bible Circular Reasoning?

The only way to make this work is to understand that it is from one mind. But this morning I want to discuss the idea of prophecy and how prophecy answers both our questions of is the Bible the word of God and who is Jesus? Now, let me be clear. This is an answer to those questions. It is not the answer, it is not the only answer to those questions. But if we understand biblical prophecy, and we’re going to look at several examples this morning, I think we can be assured in our faith we can have a reason to be able to defend that hope, that which is within us, as 1 Peter chapter 3 and verse 15 so instructs. So first though, you have this idea that you do have to address, which is is proving the Bible by the Bible circular reasoning?

Now that’s often put out there. Circular reasoning is, okay, well, I told you that what goes into soda is a lot of good tasting vitamins. And you say, well, how do you know that? I say, well, because they make coke with good tasting vitamins. That’s proving one thing by the same thing. That is circular reasoning. But is the Bible that way? Well, first of all, we see that the Bible has a unique unity and cohesion of the books that show the Bible had one mind. Now, how does that address the question, though? Consider the Bible skeptic who says, well, you can’t prove the Bible by the Bible. They are actually granting very important ground and defeating themselves from the start. How is that so? If you take the Bible and you wish to sit down with someone, they say, no, no, no, I don’t want to study the Bible.

I don’t believe in that. You can’t use the Bible to prove the Bible. They’ve already acknowledged to you, they view the Bible as unified. They view it as one. You see, what’s interesting is if you go back to the top of that slide, what is the Bible comprised of? 66 different books. Matthew isn’t Mark, isn’t Luke, who isn’t John. Yes, their accounts are similar, but not identical. They are different books, even though we would group them as the Gospels. So when someone says you can’t use the Bible to prove the Bible, and I open to the book of Matthew to prove the book of Mark, they’re suggesting that the Bible is unified. Now, why is that a problem? Well, if the Bible’s unified, who unified them?

Did they all sit down in a room? Well, that violates the second idea that it’s about 40 different authors and the third, which was written over a period of about 1600 years, 1500 years. Now, what type of conference do you know where about 40 different authors from about 1,500 years of history can sit in one room and make sure that they plagiarize a document all together at the same time? No such meeting exists, no such meeting could exist. And so when someone says you can’t use the Bible to prove the Bible, they are granting that the Bible is unified. That is a strong point for God’s inspiration of the scripture. Consider, secondly, the idea that fulfilled Bible prophecy demands an explanation. If it can’t be said that someone wrote that this prophecy is to come true, and then they went over here about a year or two later and they wrote the fulfillment of that prophecy to con the world for centuries, then there has to be an explanation for how did the Bible, which was written over this great times time period, how did it have fulfilled prophecy?

How was it that these random men from different points in history were able to correctly identify down to specific details that which would happen centuries later? I think it’s an important question that demands an answer, but first let me address one more problem with proving the Bible by the Bible. Some say, well, you talk about the unified message, but sometimes the messages are different. If you take Matthew and compare it to Mark, you might see some contradictions. First of all, if you consider a contradiction is only when one thing cannot be so. That is not if someone says he was wearing a green shirt and another says he was wearing a green shirt and a blue hat. A contradiction would be if the first author said he was wearing a green shirt and no hat.

That would be a contradiction. But furthermore, can I suggest for just a moment, by looking at Luke chapter 1, we see an important element? Open your Bibles with me to Luke chapter 1. I hope you have your Bibles. As we look at Bible prophecies this morning, we’re going to be going quickly through the Bible. In Luke chapter 1, though, note this first point. Luke tells about his writing in verse 1, and as much as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us. It seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things that you have been taught.

Now we learn a couple key things about Luke here. The first one you find in verse 2. Why did he write this? Well, he’s going from those who were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word as they have delivered the message. But you see, further, what is he doing? Well, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for a time. Do you see that he was giving his account of what he saw, of what he did? Now you consider that perspective and historically, not as a question of inspiration, but as a question of its historical accuracy. What about those contradictions? Well, consider what we talked about, what is and what is not a contradiction. If the Bible reveals that something is true, and another inspired author reveals that something additional is true, is it not possible that it is not contradicting, but working in harmony with one another to give us a full picture?

If you were to be on a jury seeking to prosecute a man for theft of an elderly woman, and one person described the thief as a man in his mid-30s wearing a green shirt. And then the next individual said, Well, I don’t think he was wearing a green shirt, but that man did steal from the elderly woman. And yet the third juror says, I just know a 30 something year old man stole from that woman. I think he was wearing something green. Then the fourth person says, Well, actually, there was two people. One was a man in his mid 30s wearing a green shirt, and there was another accomplice. Does it have to matter that the details all do or do not line up? Or is it sufficient to know that the weightier matter is substantiated by the fact that the man who stole from the elderly woman was seen in each eyewitness account.

2. Only God Can Know the Future

That would work in a court of law. It certainly should work in our consideration of faith. Proven the Bible by the Bible is one of the key ways in which you can establish is this document the word of God? To suggest that we should go to other sources to identify whether or not the Bible is from God, is to say that I trust man to tell me if God is so. Don’t we see how that is stacking the deck against the word of God? Now consider then this idea of biblical prophecy, though. Only God can know the future. I think we understand that, but look with me in Isaiah chapter 41. If you have a marker, you’re going to want to leave it in the book of Isaiah, as several prophecies we’ll examine this morning are from there.

Isaiah chapter 41. For those of you who may have not been thinking up to speed on what I was just setting forth, understand we’re going to look at some prophecies. And what’s important to take away from this lesson is, are there prophecies of Christ? What are they? And were they fulfilled? Moving to that section now. In Isaiah chapter 41, beginning in verse 21. Set forth your case, says the Lord, bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob. Let them bring them and tell us what is to happen. Tell us the former things that they are, that we may consider them, that we may know their outcome, or declare to us the things to come? Tell us what is to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods, do good or do harm, then we may be dismayed and terrified.

Behold, you are nothing, and your work is less than nothing. An abomination is he who chooses you. Here in this section of Isaiah, he is combating the idea of false gods. These are idols. What separates the one true and living God from the idols? God knows the future. Can any idol that man has ever made tell the future? No. Let me ask you a question. Can even man tell the future? I think it’s interesting that we have an election year next year. And I wonder who could guess who’s going to be the president? Right now, the Republican Party is trying to even decide who its candidate is among a field of over five candidates. The Democratic Party might be a little easier to guess because it’s down to two or three.

But what about in five years or nine years? What about 25 years from now? Do you know who the president is going to be in 25 years? Not a clue. And even if we did, would that not be a guess and not prophecy? If an idea or a person is set forth that says, this is from God, would it not be absolutely true? Would it not absolutely come to pass exactly as it has been foretold? Idols can’t do that, but our God can. Consider in Isaiah chapter 45 and verse 1. What was it that Isaiah prophesied of? Isaiah who prophesied around 739 to 690 BC, what was it that he prophesied of? Well, only of an event that would happen over a hundred years later, that of King Cyrus, freeing God’s people.

In Isaiah chapter 45 and verse 1, by name this ruler is named. Thus says the Lord to his anointed to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings to open doors before him that gates may not be closed. That may not sound impressive to you, but let me build the case. When Isaiah prophesied, do you know what world empire was reigning? The nation of Assyria. If you search Bible and world history, what replaced the nation of Assyria? The nation of Babylon. Cyrus was not a Babylonian king. In fact, Cyrus was of the Medes and Persians, as we might group them. Cyrus came after the Babylonian Empire. But Isaiah prophesied, not in the Babylonian Empire, the one right before Cyrus, but the nation before that.

3. Ten Biblical Prophecies That Answer the Question

How can that be so? What person or idol can possibly tell by name the ruler? Not only that there would be a ruler of that name, but that ruler would free his people. God can. And we can take great solace in that fact. Consider with me ten biblical prophecies that answer the question is the Bible the word of God and who is Jesus? We see in Isaiah chapter 40 and verse 3, we see one prophecy that is not to do directly with Jesus, but rather indirectly. And when Isaiah chapter 40 and verse 3 says, A voice cries in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Now I wrote that that’s John the Baptist, but how would I know this?

Look with me in Matthew chapter 3. And Matthew chapter 3. Let’s see if we can identify that this came to pass. In Matthew chapter 3, beginning in verse 1, in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, for this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet when he said, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Now you could say this is Bible fixing, but the book of Matthew was written over seven, about centuries later than when Isaiah prophesied. This prophecy came to came to pass. Not only did it just vaguely happen, the Bible identifies who it was that fulfilled this Bible prophecy.

That is John the Baptist who prepared the way of the Lord. Consider, secondly, Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. Will you look in your Bibles at Micah, Micah chapter 5 and verse 2? As you consider Micah chapter 5 and verse 2, you see the prophet writes, But you, O Bethlehem Ephraith, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth from me, one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.

Where was it that Jesus was born? Look with me in Matthew chapter 2. Look with me in Matthew chapter 2. If we see this, if you know that, if you can know these prophecies, if they demand an answer of how could it be? If you’re going to study with people who ridicule the idea that God is who he says he is, that the Bible is the word of God, it’s important to be armed, to be ready to give a defense, and knowing these prophecies is a key step therein. In Matthew chapter 2 and verse 1. Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he who has been born, King of the Jews?

For we saw a star when it rose and have come to worship him. Verse 5. They told him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet, and you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people. These are directly fulfilled. The Bible has at least over three hundred different prophecies that are fulfilled. We’re going to look at ten this morning. But do you see that not only does it happen, the Bible identifies where it was said that it would happen? That is powerful testimony to the Bible. You see a third idea that Jesus is the Son of God. I think we understand Psalm chapter 2 and verse 7 makes that claim.

Matthew chapter 3 and verse 17, when God comes from above and he says, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. But consider with me this one that Jesus would be from Abraham and David. Will you look with me at Isaiah chapter 11? In Isaiah chapter 11. Isaiah chapter 11, beginning in verse 1, there shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit, and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord, and his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, but with righteousness he shall judge the poor and decide with equity for the meek of the earth.

And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips, he shall kill the wicked. We serve a great Christ. Amen. Jesus is identified as being from the root of Jesse. Who’s Jesse? The father of David. And Abraham in Genesis chapter 12, we understand that Abraham was given three promises. Yes, he was promised a great nation when we made of him. Yes, that great nation would have a promised land. But going all the way back to Genesis chapter 12, there was a seed. There was a person through him through all nations would be blessed. Is not Jesus the perfect remedy to man’s sinful state? When we consider the words of Matthew chapter 1 and verse 1, see how the first gospel, as we have sorted in our New Testament begins.

Matthew chapter 1 and verse 1. The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. Prophecy demands an explanation, brothers and sisters. This is what the Bible represents. If we cannot know that, though, what good is it to us? What good are we as Christians if we don’t understand what is in the book? If we don’t understand who the Christ is, we often complain and rail against the Jews, and we say, they should have known. If any people should have known, it was them because of prophecy. But we have the very prophecies that they do. We should be able to use them to identify who is the Christ and to teach others that he is the one true and living God, the Son of our Creator.

Consider fifthly that Jesus would be born of a virgin. Turn with me to Isaiah chapter 7. I’m telling you, if you have a marker, it’d be useful. Isaiah chapter 7 and verse 14. Isaiah chapter 7 and verse 14. In the midst of the time of King Ahaz, it said, Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel. Look with me in Luke chapter 1. How would Jesus be born? Of a virgin. In Luke chapter 1 and verse 34 and 35. Here’s Mary, and Mary said to the angel, How will this be? Since I am a virgin. And the angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.

4. Where Jesus Would Speak and His Message

Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. Jesus would be born of a virgin. These aren’t just random occurrences, brothers and sisters. These were told hundreds of years before they were fulfilled. That is a proof. That is a powerful proof that needs to be reckoned with. Consider as we continue on into the life of Christ, it identifies where Jesus would speak in Isaiah chapter 9. No with me in Isaiah chapter 9. Isaiah chapter 9, verse 1 and 2. But there will be no gloom for her who is in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them light has shone. That seems a little upscare, doesn’t it? What does the Bible say about that? Look in Matthew chapter 4. And Matthew chapter 4 and verses 12 through 16. Matthew chapter 4 and verses 12 through 16. Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee, and leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea in the territory of Zebulun and Aftali. So that was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan Galilee of the Gentiles, the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light.

And for those dwelling in the region in shadow of death, on them a light has dawned. Jesus fulfilled prophecy, not only in where he was born, but where he would speak and also his message. What would he speak? Will you look with me in Isaiah chapter 61? Isaiah chapter 61 and verses 1 and 2. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all who mourn. What does the New Testament say about that message?

In Luke chapter 4. And Luke, the fourth chapter, and verses 16 through 21. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the school of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written.

He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Will you read verse 20 and 21 closely with me? And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him, and he began to say to them, Today the scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing. That’s an interesting point, because when we consider who is Jesus, not only does prophecy identify who he is, but many skeptics say he’s not who he claimed to be. He never claimed to be God. He never claimed to be the Son of God.

Brothers and sisters, Jesus identified himself as the fulfillment of that prophecy. Do we not see that this needs to be reckoned with? Absolutely, we can have a discussion on is the Bible from God? Is Jesus the Christ who he claims to be? But let us not make the mistake of turning away from our most powerful proof. That is the word of God that he has revealed to us. And we need to know that we can find it. Numerous specific details of the future, like in Zechariah chapter 9 and verse 9, on how Jesus would enter into Jerusalem, that is, on a donkey, or in Psalm chapter 22 and verse 18, that his garments they would cast lots for when he was being crucified. We see the fulfillment of those in Matthew 21 and Matthew chapter 27.

5. Jesus Is at the Right Hand of God

We also see that Jesus would be crucified for our sins. Perhaps no scripture is stronger than that of Isaiah chapter 53. And we might turn there shortly. But consider not only does Matthew chapter 26 and verse 27 fulfill some of those details, like how he approached his crucifixion silently before those who were accusing him, or the fact that he did suffer the sins of mankind at the behest of God and his will. That’s fulfilled not only in Matthew, but in Mark and Luke and John. It is that which is the core of the Christian faith, and certainly is attested to in the scriptures. But consider where Jesus is. Jesus is at the right hand of God. Look with me at Psalm chapter 110 and verse 1.

This is important. This is important now. We need to know where is Jesus? He is at the right hand of God. In Psalm chapter 110 and verse 1. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. Who is that of? Is that about David? In Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 13, it is identified as to who this is about. And Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 13. And to which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. What is Hebrews chapter 1 about? Building up the superiority of Jesus to angels. This prophecy was not of angels. This was not of men. It was about Jesus the Christ.

He is now at the right hand of God. What does that mean? That means that Jesus’ kingdom has been established. We can see that in the scriptures. Jesus is reigning now, not in the future to come. Jesus is our Lord and King. He is at the right hand of God, and we serve an awesome God. Amen. We can know that. We cannot just guess it. We cannot just think it’s in the Bible somewhere. We can know, we can turn, we can study, we can look. We can see that the will of God is revealed to us. That prophecy substantiates that it is from God. It is from one mind, despite the fact it was written over a thousand years apart by about 40 different men. We can know that it is the word of God.

6. Who Is Jesus?

And to answer the question of who is Jesus, if the Bible is the word of God, then Jesus is real. Jesus came in the flesh. And Jesus has been and is God. And that is life changing. When we see the claims of Jesus in Isaiah chapter 9, verse 6 and 7, it’s going to be game-changing. Will you look there with me? Isaiah chapter 9 and verses 6 and 7. Isaiah chapter 9 and verse 6. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, of the increase of his government and of peace, there will be no end on the throne of David and over his kingdom to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. Who is Jesus? He’s our wonderful counselor. He’s wonderful. He’s our counselor. He’s our mighty God. He’s our everlasting Father. The increase of his government of peace, there will be no end. He’s on the throne of David. His kingdom will be different. How is he over his kingdom? Well, he’s going to establish it and uphold it with what? Justice and with righteousness. From this time forth and forevermore. We serve an eternal Christ who has loved us. The scriptures are true. Jesus referenced them. How many times did Jesus reference that which occurred in the Old Testament as true events? You think just to name five in Matthew chapter 19, Jesus refers to Adam and Eve. And in Matthew chapter 10 and verse 15, he references Sodom and Gomorrah.

In Matthew chapter 24 and verse 15, he identifies Daniel as a prophet and author. In chapter 24, as it continues on in verses 37 through 39, he identifies Noah in the flood, and in John chapter 8 and verses 56 through 58, Jesus refers to Abraham. These characters are real according to Jesus. That means I can’t compromise. That means as the integrity of the scriptures are continually attempted to be chipped away at. That we not only hold firm that the Bible is the inspired word of God, that but what it says is true, is 100% the way it is. We can’t be compromising the will of God if it is, is by applying some of man’s knowledge with some of God’s. To attempt to apply some of evolution to what God has said in Genesis chapter 1 and verse 1.

Conclusion

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth is going to put us in grave danger when it comes to answering to our God who created the heavens and the earth and who did it with his word just as he revealed to us that he did. The Bible is a powerful ally for us. The Bible is, the Bible contains the word of life. Will we seek them? Will we find them? The fact is, if the scriptures are true, if the prophecies are correct and fulfilled as they are, Jesus died for our sins. And what that means is we can be saved. What greater blessing is there? Brothers and sisters, our God is alive. Amen. We can serve him. We must. We can be forgiven of our sins.

How do I know that? Because it feels good to say? Because it sounds good to think? Because I want to know that I have sinned, I have done wrong, and I can be forgiven? No, because the word of God reveals that is truth. We know that God demonstrated his own love towards us and that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That’s not just a preacher’s oration. That is what Paul wrote in Romans chapter 5 and verse 8. We know Jesus died for us. We can read the accounts of how it happened. And before that, we can read how it was going to happen. And after it, we can reveal how we can take advantage of that. In Romans chapter 6, you can be baptized into his death, and you can be raised in the resurrection of Christ.

You can do that. You can have your sins forgiven. The Bible is the word of God, but the bad news of all of this is if the Bible is the word of God, and I reject it, if I reject Jesus, if I reject some of the teachings, because I’m not ready, or I don’t feel like it, or I don’t agree, the Bible also speaks of a place prepared for the devil and his angels. The Bible speaks of a place of everlasting torment for those who do not obey Him. Sin will lead us to hell for all of eternity. Jesus is the only one with the answer. If you’re here this morning and you have never once had the thrill of understanding the scriptures, of knowing that you can have your sins forgiven, understand Jesus tells us how.

His apostle Peter taught it in Acts chapter 2 when he said, Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins. We can have all of our sins washed away. Maybe we’ve been a Christian for a long time, but we didn’t understand the depth of the scripture, how the Bible points to Jesus towards, talks about, and after, towards him again. Make your life right with Jesus our King. Make your life right with the one who is at the right hand of God. If we can help you in any way, come forward right now as we stand and sing the invitation song.
