Down and take our Bibles up and
turn to our Old Testament reading It's Job 19 Job 19 You can't find that table
of contents is always a good place to look You probably know the context
the book of Job. Job is going through horrific
trials and tribulations and difficulties. He says to us in Job 19, beginning
in verse 23, and just a reminder that this is God's Word. Oh,
that my words were written. Oh, that they were inscribed
in a book. Oh, that with an iron pen lead
they were engraved in the rock forever for I know that my Redeemer
lives at the last he will stand upon the earth and after my skin
has been thus destroyed yet in my flesh I shall see God whom
I shall see for myself and my eyes shall behold not another
heart faints within me What an idea. It's got to be the work
of the Holy Spirit. I will see him. So let's turn now to 1 Corinthians
15. It's the same spirit who inspired
Job. It's the spirit who inspired
Paul in 1 Corinthians 15. That reminder that all scripture
is given by inspiration of God is therefore profitable. 1 Corinthians
15, we're looking at the first 11 verses in what we would call the resurrection
chapter of the Bible. 1 Corinthians 15, beginning in
verse 1. Again, this is God's Word. Now
I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you,
which you received and which you stand, and by which you are
being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you,
unless you believed in vain. for I delivered to you as of
first importance what I also received, that Christ died for
our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried,
that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, then He appeared
to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are
still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then He appeared
to James, then to all the apostles, Last of all, as to one untimely
born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles,
unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church
of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace
toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder
than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that
is with me. Whether then it was I or they,
so we preach, and so you believe." Thus ends the reading of God's
word. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you so
much for your word. We do pray that you would bless us and give
us eyes to see, ears to hear, hearts to receive, hands to apply,
feet to walk it out. We pray these things in Christ's
name. Amen. Please be seated. Well, this is kind of a softball
question, kind of a slam dunk question, but I hope we all understand
the answer, I hope we all can get this right on a written test. What's the most important event
in human history? According to scripture, it's
not a war, a revolution, not creation itself, but it's the
resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's not just important, friends,
it's essential. Absolutely essential. And so this is 1 Corinthians
15, the chapter on the resurrection. If you ever want to think about
the resurrection, if you ever want to talk to somebody about
the resurrection, and you're thinking, you know, what section
of the Bible should I take people to? Where should I turn in my
Bible? 1 Corinthians 15 is the chapter. 58 verses long, but it works
all the way through the doctrine of the resurrection. terrific,
it's a wonderful chapter on the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
and then our resurrection because of His resurrection. And so this
is the bedrock of our Christian hope, and we see with Paul, it's
not only this gospel death, burial, resurrection that saves, it also
transforms us. It also transforms our lives. J.B. Phillips has said that this
is the most important chapter in the Bible. Why is it so important? Again, it's because of the doctrine
of the resurrection. Tim Keller said, if Jesus rose
from the dead, then you must accept everything that he said.
He said, if he didn't rise from the dead, then don't worry about
anything he said. You can write it off. Because
He said, I'm the Savior. I'm here to die for your sins
and rise again for your justification. And if He died on the cross,
went through that horrific death, all the beatings, all those different
things, and He didn't rise, bring it in. He'd be a good teacher.
He's certainly not the Savior. In fact, the chapter goes on
to say, if He didn't rise, eat, drink, and be merry. for tomorrow
you die. If he didn't rise, we Christians,
of all people, are the most to be pitied. We're pathetic, because
we live as if he did rise, but he didn't rise. We pretend like
it matters, and it actually doesn't. Another commentator, Yaroslav
Pelikan, said, if Christ is risen, then nothing else matters. And
he said, if Christ is not risen, then nothing else matters. You
get that? If he's risen, then that's the
thing that matters above everything. And if he hasn't risen, then
nothing matters at all. Life is really meaningless. I
don't know if we actually go to those places in our minds
very often, but the argument that Paul makes in this chapter
is really spectacular. It really is helpful, meaningful,
insightful, And so these statements, if Jesus rose, listen to everything
he said, if he didn't rise, forget everything he said, if he rose,
this is what matters, if he didn't rise, nothing matters, like these
kind of statements, they're not exaggeration, they're not hyperbole.
Everything stands or falls with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Everything. And so the whole book of 1 Corinthians,
Paul is writing to a church in Corinth that had a ton of problems.
Corinth was a terrible place. It was a really nasty city. And
unfortunately, a lot of times, the habits of the city get into
the church. And the habits of that city had
kind of come into the church. And so Paul spends a lot of time
in 1 Corinthians correcting them on the various struggles they
were having. They were divided. In chapters
1 to 4, he addressed those things. They had moral and legal issues.
And so in chapters 5 and 6, he addressed those things. issues
related to marriage, Christian liberty, and idolatry, and so
he addressed those in chapters 7-10. He talked about their worship
and their church body in chapters 11-14, and now he comes around
to this key doctrinal issue, the resurrection of the dead,
in chapter 15. Really, the gospel undergirds
everything he says in 1 Corinthians, but now it becomes something
that's above ground, that he's dealing with out in the open. It's not just undergirding our
Christian hope, it's the thing that he's addressing. And it
really comes up because in verse 12, 1 Corinthians 15, 12, we
have insight here because it says, if Christ is proclaimed
as raised from the dead, how can some of you in Corinth say
that there is no resurrection from the dead? Right? And so
he's drawing that out. We know that's why this chapter
comes up. And so in the first 11 verses that we're looking
at here this afternoon, he's really talking about the resurrection
of Jesus Christ that has these radical implications for our
lives. And so I just want us to work
our way through these realities quickly, beginning in verse 1-3a,
it's the gospel received and delivered. And so, set your eyeballs
on this, as one commentator says, the introduction to the introduction.
Now I would remind you in verse one, brothers, of the gospel
I preached to you, which you receive in which you stand. And, he goes on to say in verse
two, by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word
I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. Now there's
a ton here, right? First of all, Paul was the guy
who planted that church. Back in Acts 18, you can read
about when he was first in Corinth, and he was ministering to those
people. He brought the gospel to bear there. The Lord brought
him there, and then the Lord spoke to him when the Lord was
still speaking in that kind of way in that transitional period
of time during the days of Acts. And he said, Paul, I want you
to stay here because I have many people in that city. Now, when
God said that to him, there were very few converted people in
that city. But the point was, God said,
I have people that I've chosen from before the foundations of
the world. I have people that are my elect
that belong to me. And they're going to come to
believe in me, in Jesus Christ, because of what you're going
to say. What is he going to say? He's going to say gospel words.
He's going to give them good news. And so in verse one, he
says, now I would remind you, right? What is remind? This is
what I already said to you when I was there with you. When I
planted the church, the thing that I always led with was the
gospel. I'm gonna remind you, brethren,
brothers, sisters, of the gospel, the good news that I previously
preached to you. I proclaim to you in which you
receive. Now, let's just start there.
The preacher has a job. He has a role to perform. That's
proclaiming the Good News. You ask the question, what is
the Church for? What is the Church to do? What
is the Church to be focused on? And one of the big things, the
main thing, the central thing, Paul would say of first importance,
verse 3, is preaching and proclaiming the Good News. What we need to understand is
as Christians, what we need is the gospel preached into us again
and again and again. We need the gospel preached into
us week by week. There are some that would say,
you know, we need to put away the pulpit. We just need to have
like a, you know, like a coffee shop table. Just have an interaction. Just have a conversation. But
that's not what the Bible lays out. The Bible lays out in a
worship service, the minister is to proclaim, to preach Christ
and Him crucified. Now, you have a responsibility
as well, don't you? Because Paul says, he tells you
what your responsibility is, it's to receive. The gospel is proclaimed, it
is preached and proclaimed, and then it is, by you as Christians,
received. It's received. Now, it's not just received,
and then you move on to something else, you go do something else
with your time, with your life, it is, next thing, stood upon. Maybe you never thought
about that before. I remind you, brothers, of the
gospel I preach to you, which you receive, in which you stand. This is where we place our feet. The gospel, dear friends, is
to be the foundation of our lives. It is the bedrock that we build
our lives upon. The gospel undergirds and informs
everything in your life and in mine. At least that's the design. And I need you to hear me say
that. because unfortunately I think that we've lost that. We've lost that in the church. The gospel sometimes becomes,
you hear the gospel and then you move on to deeper things.
No? Sometimes it becomes, the gospel
is completely eclipsed, and it's just kind of practical teaching
for practical living. No? Sometimes it's like, you know,
some combination thereof. But the Gospel is to be rightly
proclaimed and received every Lord's Day, and it's to be received
and held onto and becomes the foundation so that everything
we do the rest of the week is related to this foundation. The Gospel should have implications
for every single thing that we think and say and do. Now, we're
not going to do that perfectly, to be sure. But that's the direction we want
to be going. How does what I do at work, how
does what I do in my free time, how does what I do in my family,
how does what I do when I choose a spouse, how does what I do
when I rear my kids and raise them up How are these things
informed by the Gospel? Everything. We stand upon this foundational
Gospel reality. It doesn't mean we stand still,
it means that every part of our lives is increasingly shaped
by the Good News. We don't hear the Gospel and
move on, we hear the Gospel and it goes on to say we hold fast
We hold on to the truth of the message, and if we don't, we
lose everything. Because Paul says here something that's really
intriguing, something that's really interesting, unless you
believed in vain. And I just think it's important
for us to also understand these realities. There's a way to hear
the gospel. We talk about knowledge, assent,
and trust. Knowledge is, you hear what the
gospel is. Ascent is, I believe that, as
opposed to, I don't believe that. But a lot of people think that
that's salvation. Salvation is, I trust in Jesus. It's the next step. What we call,
if you hear the gospel and you say you believe the gospel, but
it doesn't affect your life, that's called historical faith.
It's not saving faith, and I hear that there are millions of people
in our country that are right there, that would say they believe,
but they're not converted, because it doesn't actually transform
the way that they live their life. And we need to examine ourselves
to make sure that we're in the faith. And we'll talk about Paul,
how he shows that he didn't believe in vain at the end of our time
together this afternoon. But think about the parable of
the soils. Jesus himself tells the story of these four kinds
of hearts. The wayside hearers, the hard
path, the seed goes out and it just bounces off, and the birds
come and eat it away. That's the word of God for certain
hearts. We say, yeah, of course, they're not converted. But there's
two kinds of hearts that Jesus talks about in that parable,
the rocky ground and the thorny ground hearers. that actually
there's some kind of evidence at some point of salvation, of
kind of fruit bearing, at least initially. But there's only one
there, right? The good heart, the good soil
that actually produces a crop and perseveres. And it's just
a reminder for us, isn't it, that Jesus is not just an add-on.
He's not just something that we clip onto our lives for fire
insurance. Say, oh yeah, I'm good, I'm going
to heaven, now I can go do whatever I want to do. Jesus is fundamental,
he's foundational for our lives. And we live in a society, don't
we? Whether I preached this sermon in Orange County last week or
here in Hawaii today, that there's a lot going on, it's very busy.
There are a lot of things going on. And it's not ever simply
that we don't have enough time for Jesus, because the things
that matter in our lives, you will always make time for. You
decide how your time is spent. And the things that matter most,
the things that you prioritize in your life, you will make sure
that you have time for. And if we don't have enough time
for Jesus, we need to do some soul searching.
we don't have enough time for worship, if we don't have enough
time to spend thinking about him, spending time with him,
we need to do some soul-searching. So the gospel, Paul says, is
proclaimed, it's preached, it's received, it's stood upon, it's
held fast to, and if we don't do those things, it could be
very well that we have believed in vain, that we haven't genuinely
believed good news. So it's a warning. So he continues
on, he says, I delivered to you as of first importance, and it's
just a reminder that the Gospel is the most important thing.
This isn't just a chronological thing, this is a theological
thing. The thing that's more important than anything else
is the Good News. Elements of the good news and
we talked about in Sunday school that we can preach and proclaim
the whole counsel of God But these are the very basic tenets
and the core truths of the gospel that we can never lose sight
of and it's four things these four clauses that begin with
the word in English that I Delivered to you as a first importance
what I also receive by the way. I heard it. I believe believed
it and And then as an apostle, as a minister, I passed it along.
But also there's application for us as Christians. If we have
heard the gospel and believed and received the gospel, it should
be part of who we are to pass it along to other people. We
certainly don't keep the greatest news we've ever heard or the
world could ever hear to ourselves or for ourselves. If you hear
it and it resonates with you, It's it's it doesn't make sense
not to just continue to pass it along So Paul passes it along As a minister as an apostle and
it's these elements and these are the things that we want to
make sure that we understand and believe that we've rested in
Christ for our salvation that we believe these realities
and that we can share them with others. There's four things that
I said, these four clauses that start with the word that. That
Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he
was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance
with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas or Peter
and then to twelve and then to all these others that eventually
leads into Paul talking about him appearing to him as the least
of the apostles. So let's think about these things
for a little bit of time, each of them. That, now this is the Gospel
fulfilled, verses 3b and 4, that Christ died for our sins in accordance
with the scriptures. I think it's interesting that
every culture, everybody has some sense of every religion,
like, what do we do with death? Because it comes for all of us. It happens to every single one. And there's a sense in which
it seems very natural because it comes for all of us. And you'll
hear people say things like, well, you know, if you don't
respect death, then you're not respecting life because death
is a part of life. You hear kind of things like
that. Death seems, on some level, to
be natural because it happens for everybody. But it also seems
extremely, incredibly unnatural. Because when people die around
us, people we love and we know, it breaks us up inside because
we scream out and we say, this is not right. We know on some
fundamental level that there's something horribly wrong with
it. And that's the reality. The Bible
says that death is an intruder. Death is a foe. And it must be defeated, and
it must be overcome. Some people want to live forever,
right? You have these different people that want to find the
magic pill or the secret recipe and live on forever in their
current state. That's not the answer. The answer
is not dying. The answer is resurrection. The
only answer is resurrection. It's that we die and rise again. Because Christ died and rose
again, and we're tied to him, united to him. And so notice,
it doesn't just say that Jesus died. It says Christ died. And he's dying as the Messiah. And we remember that his first
and last name are not Jesus Christ, right? It's not like, Hey, Timmy,
can you come up here and say hi to Mr. Christ? And then Jesus
bends down and goes, oh, he can call me. Is it OK if he calls
me Jesus? No, we want him to call you Mr. Christ. It's not
his first and last name. Jesus' name, Christ, is his title.
And as Christ, as Messiah, he died. It was the role that God
gave to him. Christ died for our sins. That's why he came. It wasn't
a failed project. wasn't something that got out
of hand it wasn't like he came and he was gonna overthrow Rome
you know and then oops they were we miscalculated they were more
powerful and then he ended up dying on the cross that was the
plan all along in fact it says that not only did Christ die
for our sins but it says he died for our sins according to scripture Another great Old Testament reading
would have been Isaiah 53, where it makes that point over and
over again, that we sinned, and Jesus paid. We went astray, and
Jesus paid. Over and over again. Places like Psalm 22, my God,
my God, why have you forsaken me? Goes on to talk about the holiness
of God. He died for his people. All over the Old Testament scripture.
In fact, when Jesus appeared on the road to Emmaus to his
disciples, Luke 24, before they believed in resurrection, he
started unpacking and unfolding all the stories in the scriptures
concerning himself. That would have been a great
Bible study to be a part of, by the way. And then when he disappeared
from them, and went back to his disciples in Jerusalem, he said
the same kinds of things and showed himself all over the Old
Testament Scriptures, and the volume of the book is written
of him. So he died, by the way, the language in the Greek, it
makes it very plain and clear, he died once and for all. You
know, when Lazarus died, Jesus came and raised him up. You know
that story in John's Gospel. Lazarus dies, and his sisters
Mary and Martha are there, and Jesus finally comes, And Jesus
says, hey, he's going to rise again. And they said, we know
he's going to rise again in the resurrection. And Jesus goes,
no, he's going to rise right now. And Jesus calls him out
of the tomb. Lazarus, come forth. And Lazarus
came out. He rose up. They took the grave
clothes off him, right? He's alive again. But Lazarus,
and by the way, I don't know if he was really that happy about
that, actually, coming from heaven back to earth. Probably not so
happy about it. His family was happy. But however
long Lazarus lived, he died again. He rose and then died again. But when Jesus dies, he dies
once. And then when he is buried, he's
buried once. And by the way, why did he die?
I mean, why was he buried? Remember, going back to the Garden
of Eden, in the day that you eat of it, you'll surely die.
And then God made that promise. From the dust you are, from the
dust thou art, to the dust thou shalt return. You came from the
dust, you'll go back to the dust. You came out of the ground, you'll
go back into the ground. He's fulfilling that imagery.
Adam failed and failed. Jesus succeeds. He dies to death.
We deserve to die. And then rose again, overcoming
death. And so when he rises, he rises
once and for all in this abiding state. raised never to die. What a glorious
reality. Death could not hold him down.
He quenched the wrath of God. He exhausted the curse of God. And that means all that's left
for his people is God's blessing. God's blessing. He overcame and
conquered that which was seemingly inconquerable. and then he ascended
back to heaven. One commentator points out, and
I think it's really a helpful reminder, look to Christ now
and see your future. He lived a difficult life, brothers
and sisters. He was a man of sorrows acquainted
with grief. His life was difficult and hard. He faced much opposition, and
after living a perfect life, never sinning in thought, word,
or deed. His reward, in one sense, was
what? Horrible beatings, terrible mockery,
great shame being hung naked upon a cross, and horrific pain
and agony as everyone looked on, and he sucked. He died. He was buried. But He rose again. And He's in
glory. And He's in glory, and you in
some way, shape, or form are connected to Him even now. And
as difficult as this life is, friends, His resurrection should inform. His resurrection should give
hope. through everything we go through.
Because our suffering is temporary. Because our hardship is limited. And even in our suffering, in
our hardship, in our difficulty, God is working all those things
together for our good and his good. Look to him and see your future
sitting exalted at the right hand of God. Sometimes life seems so long,
sometimes it seems really brief, but it will not be that long
until we are there with Him. Life is but a vapor, she would
say. Glory is what comes. It's coming. And she would cry. Christ died. He was buried. He
rose again, according the Scriptures, all these things were pre-calculated
and pre-ordained. And so I think it's also important,
as we move on to the third thing, and this will be brief, I just
want to make a couple quick points here, as the Gospel is confirmed
and verified. Sometimes there's this confusion,
and people will say, you know, you guys are asking me to kind
of believe the unbelievable. Kind of this blind faith, kind
of step out and believe in something that there's no verifiable evidence
that it actually took place. Actually, the resurrection of
Jesus Christ is one of the most verifiable events in human history. Jesus rose from the dead, and
then he just started appearing to people left and right. And
so you see that here, verse 5, that he appeared to Cephas, that's
Peter, then to the Twelve, then he appeared to more than 500
brethren, brothers at one time. Most are still alive, though
some have fallen asleep. Then to James, his brother. Then
to all the apostles, which the idea is a bigger group of those
that were a part of his traveling party. And then last of all,
as to one untimely born, he appeared also to Neapolitans. I just think
it's great, because a couple of thoughts, and for the sake
of time, just to say that Peter Peter told Jesus that he wasn't
gonna die, right? Like, Jesus announces that he's
gonna die, and Peter rebukes him. And Jesus says, what? Get behind
me, Satan. Like, this is the plan of God,
and you're trying to stand in the way of the plan of God. And
then, once he finally gets on board with that, Jesus tells
him more stuff, and Peter says, you know what? I'll die with
you, man. I'll never deny you. They all might. I never will. What did he do? Worst night of
Jesus's life, he's going through trials, this, that, and the other,
these horrible things that he's going through. And a little girl
says, don't you know this guy over here? Peter starts calling
down curses upon himself. I don't know this guy. I don't
know this guy at all. he goes out and weeps bitterly
this guy's broken because he was such a fail but if you turn
to mark 16 when the ladies come to the tomb on resurrection Sunday
morning and Jesus is not in the tomb and one of the angels is
there and the angel says for women hey go tell the disciples
and Peter Christ is risen So go single him out make sure Peter
knows and This guy that had failed Jesus so dismal is restored by
Jesus So wonderful so much so that on the day of Pentecost
who preaches the gospel when three thousand are converted
Peter does So much so that as you go to, that's Acts 2, Acts
3, you go to the temple courts and it says that 5,000 are converted.
Who preaches that sermon? Peter does. And it just really
speaks to the grace of God, to someone who actually receives
it, stands upon it, and holds fast. And we see also with Paul
here, and we're almost done, I just wanna wrap up and show
you that theme once again. It doesn't matter where you've
been. It doesn't matter what you've done. The grace of God
is greater than all of our sins. But the question is, have you
embraced, have you received, have you stood upon, have you
held fast to gospel grace? And if you have, then it should
look something like what happens with Paul. Look down with me
at verse nine. There's a humility, for I am
the least of the apostles. I'm unworthy to be called an
apostle because I persecuted the Church of God. Remember that
story in the book of Acts? He's on the road to Damascus
to persecute Christians and arrest Christians and Jesus reveals
himself from heaven and arrests Paul and he's blind for those
days and he doesn't eat or drink and Jesus sends a disciple to
him and gets him back on his feet again and he's converted. But he understands, I'm the least,
I'm unworthy. But, verse 10, notice, by the
grace of God, I am what I am. Like, he was holding coats in
Acts 7, Paul was, when Stephen was stoned for his faith. He
was consenting to death, he was consenting to go arrest Christians
to foreign cities, but by the grace of God, Paul was what he
was. And notice verse 10, God's grace
toward Paul was not in vain. How do we know? How do we know
His grace was not in vain? On the contrary, I worked harder
than any of them. Though it was not I, but the
grace of God that did it. You understand that people don't
understand grace. When people say, yeah, I believe
that, and nothing in their life changes. They continue to live
selfish lives for themselves. But you understand and know that
the grace of God has truly affected them when everything begins to
change. And they begin to not only spend
their time differently, but labor in the work of the Lord. Not
his own labor, not in his own flesh, but by the grace of God,
he was transformed. And you can go through the New
Testament and see verse after verse after verse that talk about,
by the grace of God, doing this, that, and the other. Working
hard, laboring, serving, laying down our lives. And we don't
do these different things to be saved, or even to stay saved. But it gives evidence to the
fact that we have been saved. It gives evidence to the resurrection
power of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, I worked harder
than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that
is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach, and
so you believe. By the grace of God,
I am what I am. What are you? By God's grace. And what are you doing for His
kingdom, for His glory? By His grace. It's worth remembering
that you're here for a reason. As a Christian believer, as someone
who's heard the gospel and responded, you're here to further his kingdom
in the way that you spend your life. Your life is not your own,
Paul says to the Corinthians. You've been bought with a price.
Therefore, glorify God in your body, which is his. Now, if the gospel isn't true and
Christ isn't raised, then go do whatever you want to do. Live
however you want to live. It doesn't matter. Eat, drink,
and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Nothing ultimately matters. But if Christ is risen, and he
is, then what you do matters. Then what you do has purpose,
significance, and value, both now and throughout eternity. I love how this chapter ends. Sting of death is sin and the
power of sin is a law but thanks be to God who gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ therefore my beloved brothers
be steadfast immovable and always abounding in the work of the
Lord knowing That in the Lord your labor is not Weary Christian you can know
That late your labor that your work is never in vain Self-righteous
Christian, you need to remember that all you do is a gift of
God's grace. Though the resurrection is not
just a doctrine, it's the linchpin of our hope. It's the heartbeat
of our faith. It is essential to Christianity. We do believe the gospel. Romans
10, 9, if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and
believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we'll
be saved. That's true, we do believe. But
we don't just believe or even believe differently, we live
differently by the grace of God. Jesus rose and one day you will
rise too. So hold fast, stand firm, don't
let go of the gospel because it's not just news, it's good
news. It's the greatest news, and it's true. Father, thank
you so much for the gospel. Thank you so much for the grace
of God, the mercy of God that are ours in Christ. Thank you
that you sent your son to live the perfect life and to die the
sinner's death, that we might live forevermore in your presence.
Oh, Lord, help us to work out our salvation, to labor for your
glory, for the furtherance of your kingdom. We love you and
praise you in Christ's name.
