Scripture Matters Podcast - Episode 2 (Chapter 1 - "The Problem Of Doubt")

WEBVTT
00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:02.959
Have you ever late at night and wondered?
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:05.440
Am I truly say?
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:13.359
Not because you don't believe in God, but you lay there and think, is it possible that I've missed something?
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.120
It's a question a lot of Christians carry quietly.
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.960
Even while singing songs about assurance every Sunday.
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:29.760
In episode two of Scripture Matters, we dive this day into chapter one of Jack Wilkie's book, You Are Saved.
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:34.399
The Christian Assurance with Chapter 1, The Problem of Doubt.
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.159
Why do faithful Christians struggle with assurance?
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.119
Why do our hand sounds confidence?
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.200
Well, our hearts often don't.
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.399
Folks, let me tell you, this isn't about cheap grace.
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.719
This isn't about legalism.
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:54.479
No, it's all about where real assurance is actually found.
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.119
If you've ever asked, Am I truly right with God?
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:01.840
Well, this episode is for you.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.120
Good folks, this is Scripture Matters, Episode 2.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:13.280
This is Scripture Matters, a podcast of the Waters Road Church of Christ.
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:20.000
Waters Road Church of Christ is located at 3616 Waters Road in Pasadena, Texas.
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.000
We'd love to have you join us sometime.
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:35.840
If you need more information about our congregation, check us out at wrcofc.org on the web or email us at office at WRCOFC.org.
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:39.280
Again, you've tuned in to Scripture Matters.
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:50.799
I'm Jonathan Sacker, the minister here at the Waters Road Church of Christ, and delighted to be joined by my partner in crime, Cliff Thompson, one of the shepherds here at Waters Road.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:55.280
And we're so thankful, uh Cliff, about the response we got from episode one.
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.359
We were brand new in this and trying to kind of feel our way through it.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:04.000
But the response we got from people was very encouraging.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:12.000
We walked away, not feel like maybe we did our best work, but uh the encouragement by the end of it made us feel pretty good about pigs.
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:13.919
It did, at least it got it started.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:14.560
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:15.520
It got to start somewhere.
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:18.879
Did you have any takeaway on that first one?
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.240
Well, just from the standpoint that, you know, really and truly, what a great introduction to this book.
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:34.240
But you and I talked about some things that came on your heart, Cliff, um, about some of the isolation and the thoughts that we've talked about in that introduction.
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.599
What uh do you mind sharing the books out there, kind of what you were thinking about?
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:44.159
You know, we don't think that it's only just the guests that come into Waters Road that may be isolated.
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.560
We may have even our own members that are going through that type of isolation.
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.159
And as such, we need to be more mindful of them.
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.240
Are they going through something going on?
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.599
It is something that we need to maybe uh put our arms around them and have them.
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.280
It's very easy to assume that everybody's just fine.
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:03.840
Yes.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.960
That nobody is struggling with the problems that this book is going to talk about.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:20.479
But not only do guests struggle with that, but our members from time to time find themselves dealing with some of the lack of assurance that this podcast and this book covers.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.159
So we're excited to be able to share this.
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:36.319
Whether you're a uh a member here at Waters Road for 50 years, and there are some, or you're just in your first year as a member here uh of the Lord's Church at Waters Road, we really are encouraged that we can take this journey together with you through this book.
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:41.199
Again, Jack Wilkie's book, uh, You Are Saved, The Christian Assurance.
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.560
And now we turn our attention to chapter one.
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.639
And for all of you out there, I hope you've had an opportunity to read chapter one.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.400
If you've not yet read chapter one, a good idea to pause this video.
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.520
Uh, if you have the book already, uh, break that book open, read chapter one.
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:05.599
If you have not yet purchased the book, uh you can find the link to purchase this book on Amazon.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.919
Whether you prefer the paperback or uh the Kendall version, you can buy that.
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.800
So please make sure you read chapter one.
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:19.680
Again, The Problem of Doubt is the title for this chapter, and we're going to be covering a review of this first chapter today.
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.480
But one of the things that, Cliff, I want to do as we really get into this uh episode.
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:31.839
Um, before we even get into the mechanics of this first chapter, I want to start somewhere with the folks, very real.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:50.480
Um, we want to ask you as listeners, something not from Jonathan the preacher, not from Cliff the Elder, not as teachers, uh, not as leaders of the church, but as your fellow Christians, we uh want to ask you the question that we just talked about in our opening here today.
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:58.639
Have there ever been those moments, again, late at night, when everything is quiet, uh, when the distractions finally die down from the day?
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:04.240
And somehow, somehow, this thought slips into your mind.
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:13.199
If I were to die tonight, uh, while I'm sleeping, if I were to die tonight, have I done enough?
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.600
Now, I I trust God.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:27.759
Uh I know that Jesus is saying, well, it's not about those two things, but the question that we're talking about here is this subtle kind of unsettling question that comes into our minds and our heart.
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.680
Have I done enough?
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.519
And you know what, Jonathan?
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:43.040
That makes it so unsettling is that it usually does not happen during the moments that we are busy, the during the moments that our mind is chaotic.
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.160
It kind of shows up whenever things begin to start slowing down.
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.439
Yeah, when you are alone with your own thoughts.
00:05:51.680 --> 00:06:02.639
It tells me when you really think about the situation, you're looking more at a spiritual, at a spiritual one type of a problem, other than an intellectual type of problem.
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.560
Yeah, so exactly right, Cliff.
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:10.959
It's it's again not an intellectual issue because you know that God is real, you know that Jesus died for you.
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:21.439
Uh so the fact that it shows up for faithful Christians, whether you've been a faithful Christian for 10 years, 20 years, one year, 50 years, it does not matter the length of time.
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.519
Um, it it it the fact that it shows up for faithful Christians, that's what really matters.
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.920
Um, this is about rebellion.
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:36.000
Again, this is not a matter of rebellion, it's not about uh being legalist or liberal.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.399
It's all about assurance.
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:44.720
And every Christian out there, listen, every Christian out there should feel assured of their salvation.
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:53.120
And that's actually um the reason why uh Jack Wilkie opens this book with this chapter the way he does.
00:06:53.279 --> 00:07:00.000
You know, he's speaking to people, Jonathan, who care deeply about being right with God, like we all do.
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:06.480
Yeah, well, with that in mind, our our first section that we're gonna talk about here from chapter one here today.
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:21.439
You know, Wilkie begins this chapter by dismantling an idea that is very prevalent uh amongst a lot of Christians, uh, that doubt is something that only older uh Christians deal with.
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.560
As uh you get a little bit older, sometimes you become more personally acquainted with your own mortality.
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:31.759
You begin to sniff the reality that, hey, I'm not gonna live uh for an eternity.
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.160
I am, especially in this body, we say.
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.000
Um I have a limited span of life here on this earth.
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:49.759
So when that begins to happen, um, wow, um, the certainty uh of death, Cliff, um I love the way that that Wilkie points out.
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.600
This is not uh uh a last chapter of life issue.
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.759
It happens for all Christians of all ages.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.240
It cannot be more correct, Jonathan.
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:06.000
He's saying this doubt shows up not only oh, but sometimes early and sometimes often.
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:18.240
And no matter how long that you said your church attendance was, or no matter how long that you said that your Bible knowledge was, you know, it doesn't just automatically disappear.
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:25.439
Yeah, and what I like this he starts out by talking about some of the questions that he's personally been asked.
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:35.840
Uh Jack is a minister in the Lord's church, um, and these questions that he talks about here at the beginning of the chapter, three questions that he's been asked.
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.960
Uh, what if I die suddenly before I have an opportunity to ask for forgiveness?
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:49.600
In other words, I'm driving down the road, somebody cuts me off, I let out a bad word, um, and all of a sudden I crash, I die.
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:54.159
What if I die in that moment before I've ever even had a chance to ask for forgiveness?
00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:00.480
Um, what if there's sin that somehow escaped my mind that I forgot to confess?
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.480
It's a very real question that people have had.
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.480
And the third question was, what if I'm wrong about something important?
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:14.879
What if there's something very important that I think I know exactly the way it should be, and I end up being wrong about it?
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.639
Um, and I don't even know that I'm wrong about it, and I die in that situation.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:19.759
What's gonna happen to me?
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.879
Those are the three questions that he starts out this chapter talking about.
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:28.480
And again, uh these are questions that he has gotten as a minister of the Lord's church.
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:47.519
You know, those questions to me reveal how salvation is kind of framed in people's minds as basically something like if your hands is full of oil and you're holding something very precious and it's fragile, and it's something that can be dropped and be lost accidentally forever.
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.039
Kind of like mom's fine china.
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:49.679
Yeah, right.
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.039
Don't don't mess with the separate.
00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:08.399
Um, but it it reveals something else that I think is also important is that people often treat their salvation, Cliff, like a system that you've got to manage just perfectly.
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:19.519
And, you know, Wilkie's comments about Christians sounding like their eternity is like a coin flip.
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.440
You know, that that something like that, Jonathan, should deeply trouble us.
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:32.480
Yeah, you know, I watched Joe Montana uh that was watching a YouTube video uh back when he played quarterback, and uh boy, he was a fantastic quarterback.
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:38.000
But uh one of the things they talk about is the coin flip and how that can change a game.
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:43.600
Yes, you know, who gets the ball first, who kicks off first, whether you go on defense first or whether you receive the ball.
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:51.200
But salvation is not like a coin flip, and I think that's important that he stresses that there are some Christians that look at it that way.
00:10:51.279 --> 00:11:01.120
Uh in segment two, what I found interesting is he talks about some of these songs that we sing in worship, like Blessed are the sugar, Jesus'.
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:09.919
I mean, these songs that we sing with such heart that we uh sing out loud, loud and proud, like we truly believe the words.
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:24.240
Uh so this hymn section um that he talks about next, as I've read this book, it may be the most convicting for me personally part of not only this chapter, but maybe even the book.
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:35.919
And we'll he turns to hymns because uh whether people out there know it or not, hymns that we sing are theology that bypass our defenses.
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:43.440
You know, you're you're basically singing a sermon, and when you sing it, you don't argue with it, you just sing it out loud.
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.600
And so the first song that he talks about is one that most of our listeners should know.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.679
It's When We All Get to Heaven, right?
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.879
Uh, and so he talks about when we all get to heaven, and just listen.
00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:01.919
Uh, folks out there, if you haven't done this, listen to how confidently um it speaks.
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:13.039
It says, seeing the wondrous love of Jesus, seeing his mercy and his grace in the mansions bright and blessed, he'll prepare for us the place.
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:17.039
That's what we call Cliff settled language.
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.399
I don't hear any doubt in those.
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.559
I don't hear any doubt whatsoever in those words.
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.440
Even in the refane, it goes even deeper.
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:32.320
And it it says that when we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be.
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.720
That there's no hesitation there in those words.
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.279
And it just goes even further to eradicate any doubt.
00:12:39.759 --> 00:13:02.159
And yet, and yet, Wilkie, his observation uh pierces to the heart that many Christians they sing these words on Sunday morning and Sunday night, and yet when they're at their home or their workplace on Monday, they still live unsure uh whether heaven is actually going to be their eternal destination.
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:07.440
So you sing about it as if you know it, but then on Monday you're not sure that you truly believe it.
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:14.320
Well, Jonathan, that tells me that they're very comfortable to sing about it, but they're very hesitant to claim it as their own.
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:14.879
That's right.
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:21.919
And then comes another song that everybody, I think, out there knows uh Blessed Assurance, we talked about just a moment ago.
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.200
Uh, and the boldness in that song, Cliff.
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:30.080
Both the language, the way we sing it, it is unmistakable.
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.840
Folks, just take a moment, listen to these words.
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.519
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.679
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine.
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:52.480
So if when we all get to heaven is saddled language, like we said, right, then blessed assurance, if I'll tell you for sure, that is ownership language.
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.320
That is definitely ownership language.
00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:04.720
Well, and then air of salvation, purchased of God, born of his spirit, washed in his blood.
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.639
There's nothing tentative better.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.600
Not at all.
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:25.840
And like um, like I said, the author here, Jack Wilkie, he isn't pulling any punches here in this first chapter, because then he follows those first two songs with a song that, man, whenever we sing this on Sunday mornings at Chilbucks, right?
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.559
It is Well With My Soul.
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:32.960
And that hymn confronts fear head on.
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.519
And if you know the story behind the author of that song, it's quite amazing.
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:51.840
But the words, my sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought, my sin, not in part, but the whole is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more.
00:14:52.720 --> 00:15:00.639
That removes the fear of the forgotten sins or or the sins that that we don't um take account of.
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:08.480
That those words are speaking even about those types of sins, well, and nailed to the cross, it reinforces it.
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.759
I mean, there's no condemnation.
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:16.960
I know I am free, for my sins are all nailed to the cross.
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:19.039
Folks, it says I know.
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.720
It doesn't say I hope.
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.879
And then uh please don't let me forget this one.
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:38.480
Amazing grace uh says, 'twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved.
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:47.200
So grace in that verse not only produces fear, but it produces fear only to remove it.
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.720
So that's an amazing thought.
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:54.559
And uh Wilkie's uh question is completely unavoidable.
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:01.840
I mean, if our worship is filled with the assurance of singing these songs, then why isn't our faith, Jonathan?
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:10.639
Almost as if, Cliff, there's a contradiction between the songs that we sing and the faith that we're living in.
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.759
Man, I don't I don't ever want that to be said about any of us.
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.440
Um, moving on now to segment three here.
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.039
It's interesting.
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.799
We talked about these hymns now.
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:33.360
The big question though really comes about why then do so many Christians, regardless of age, why do so many Christians struggle with feeling assured of their salvation?
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:38.399
Uh and Wilkie, he identifies here two extremes.
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:45.759
And we've kind of already referenced them a little bit, but the first is cheap grace, and the other is legalism.
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.559
Again, cheap grace and legality.
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:56.559
Cheap grace minimizes repentance and it minimizes discipleship.
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.639
It says I'm sincere, so sincerity is another all you need.
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.359
Just like this idea, all I have to have is faith.
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.839
I don't have to have any real obedience, all I have to have is faith.
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:18.799
But the problem is, Cliff, uh sincerity eventually will collapse under the weight of guilt.
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:21.599
That has happened to so many people I've known over the years.
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:28.319
So in response to that, people will start swinging towards legalism.
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.319
Yeah, and it's this pendulum principle.
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:31.920
You're on the pendulum, right?
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:37.119
You pull that pendulum back to one side, it swings across, hits in the middle, and then it swings the other side.
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:43.039
Almost like, and I had this professor in college, uh, Brother Anderson, he talked about this cliff principle.
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:49.359
In other words, not Cliff Thomas, but look, you run to one side of the cliff, cliff, and you look over and you see the danger.
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:57.119
And instead of running to the middle of the mountain, you run to the other side of the cliff, and then you look over that side and you see the danger on that side.
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.880
So you're just going back and forth.
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:09.839
Um, as we talked about in our introductory episode, uh, we referred to something called checklist Christianity.
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:10.559
Yes, we did.
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:15.680
Uh, or another way you might refer to it is precision-based faith.
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:16.559
Wow.
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:28.400
And you and you know, Jonathan, Wilkie makes a very important point here because legalism oftentimes starts out with good intentions.
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:29.359
Absolutely.
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:30.400
I I would agree with that.
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.400
I I've seen it many times.
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:48.880
But uh, you know, the problem um is that it ends with impossible expectations, uh, impossible expectations of ourselves, and sadly, uh impossible expectations of other people.
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.559
Um, and then assurance just vanishes.
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:57.359
Whenever that takes place, assurance disappears from these people's lives.
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:14.960
And uh so the answer, I guess, Cliff, the question of this segment, um, the reason why assurance is banishing within our churches is that too many Christians are dealing with that swinging pinlet.
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:20.640
They're bouncing back and forth between cheap grace uh and legalism.
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:26.480
And instead of stopping in true discipleship, uh, it never occurs.
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.400
And repentance, sadly, is never an option in that situation.
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.160
It never is, and unfortunately, you're absolutely right with that.
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:34.480
Yeah.
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:35.039
All right.
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:44.880
Uh, segment four that we want to talk about in our our second episode here has to do with a chapter that I really enjoy.
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:50.079
Um, and we saw a giant take us to Luke chapter 18.
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.119
And there is a rich young ruler there.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.240
We're going to talk about in just a moment.
00:19:54.400 --> 00:20:03.200
Yeah, if you drop down to verse 20, we have the parable of the rich young ruler, and he asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life.
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.759
And Jesus gives him a list of things that he needs to do under the law.
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:08.240
That's right.
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:14.559
Then in verse 21, the rich young ruler says, Well, all of these I've kept from my myths.
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:15.519
That's right.
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:28.640
Um, the Pharisee, you if you remember, the Pharisee uh with the uh prayer, he talks about, he says, God, I thank you, I am not like other men.
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:29.359
Right, right.
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:29.759
Right.
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:35.680
Um and that's such a wow, brazen statement, don't you agree?
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:47.920
Brother, right here in this section of chapter one, you can't help but see that Wilkie shows that legalism produces false confidence.
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:53.519
And in some it does, but I guess in others it produces kind of despair.
00:20:53.759 --> 00:21:05.839
Well, again, when you're talking about the rich young ruler, you're talking about a guy who looked at his his uh his life and to our Lord said, All these I have kept from my youth.
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:11.920
Now, he could have been very sincere in that moment and yet still been sincerely wrong.
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:24.640
And then uh the Pharisee and and the prayer moment, you know, God, I thank you that I'm not like other men, is basing that idea on what I have done and what I have not done.
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:43.119
And in those two cases, as you just said, that false confidence produces a legalistic mindset that places one's feeling of assurance into how much I've done, how much I've not done, and uh I'm not trying to throw stones at anybody, and I know you're not either.
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:49.359
Um, but the reality is neither of those two uh leads to true assurance.
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:50.240
No, it doesn't.
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:58.400
And you know, whenever both of the you look at the uh the rich young ruler, he went away sad.
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:06.240
Yeah, and you look at The tax collector standing off by the side, praising God and asking him, Here I am a sinner.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:07.759
He went away justified.
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:09.359
Yes, he's the idea.
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:12.799
All right, segment number five here today.
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:20.559
We're talking about something that I think is very near and dear to both of us, and that is the cost of doubt.
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:21.119
Yes.
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:27.440
Um Jack uh asks why this matters.
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.759
And the first reason why it matters is maturity.
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:41.039
Yeah, and then he uses marriage as the analogy to you know, think about your wife, and I'll think about my wife for a moment.
00:22:41.440 --> 00:23:03.039
If when we first married to our spouse, if we constantly doubted their uh love, if if we constantly doubted whether or not Edwina truly loved you or Jennifer truly loved me, imagine how little, I mean, really truly growth would have been impossible in our relationships because we've always been kind of looking over our shoulder, right?
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:08.160
Uh so if you constantly doubt your spouse's love, growth is impossible.
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:22.240
And you know, in Hebrews chapter 5, you can drop down to verse 12, it speaks how that now Christians should be on solid food, but they're now stuck on milk because the foundation that they have is unstable.
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:23.839
Yeah, that's that's very, very true.
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:37.119
Um Leaders, um, he says in Hebrews chapter 5, if you want to look at that with us, Hebrews chapter 5, verse 11, he says, about this, we have much to say, and it's hard to explain since you become dull of hearing, right?
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.519
Right.
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:45.519
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need somebody to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God.
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.160
You need milk, not solid food.
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.720
For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness since he is a child.
00:23:52.880 --> 00:24:02.400
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:10.720
So again, that foundation is never going to be stable because they're still stuck on that milk, as you said.
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:18.240
And they should be the ones who are out teaching, they should be the one out proclaiming, but yet they're the ones that need to be taught to.
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.680
No, no doubt about it.
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:28.559
Um, our next segment, segment six, is talking about two principles that wow is so important for the local church.
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.519
Yes, yes.
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:34.319
Uh, the first is unity, and the second is evangelism.
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:44.720
And if I were to point out to you two principles of fellowship within the Lord's church, I'm not sure I put many things above unity and evangelism.
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:46.880
Now, doubt, think about it.
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:51.920
Doubt, as Jack says, doesn't stay private.
00:24:52.400 --> 00:25:01.519
It would be one thing if a brother in our church was dealing with doubt and it was just an isolated insulin incident that never affected anybody.
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:11.519
But what is true is that doubt doesn't stay private, it um it affects our unity within the church and it affects our fellowship.
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:13.839
And you know, Jonathan, that is so true.
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:26.000
Because listen, if I'm unsure of my salvation, it's hard to feel that connection to others to be able to talk to them about salvation.
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:31.359
And then if that's the case, then the one thing that suffers is the evangelism.
00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:42.559
And Jonathan, what happens in all reality is you are instead of sharing the good news, which you're not, you're sharing uncertainty.
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:53.839
Yeah, very little, uh, I would say, Cliff, very few Christians who are unsure of their own salvation are going to be willing to go out and tell others about Jesus Christ.
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:55.039
You call them church.
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.039
I mean, that's just a fact, right?
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:57.680
That's right.
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.079
Our next segment here in chapter number one, the problem of doubt.
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.559
Um, we're going to talk about Jesus' glory.
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.920
This is a great segment.
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:11.680
It I think this chapter uh as a whole, Cliff, is just as brilliant.
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:22.480
And the reason why is because Jack Milkie ends this chapter in the one place where it must end, um, and that is with Jesus Christ.
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.519
Jonathan, you are absolutely correct about that.
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.440
Jack is spot on.
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:34.079
It is with Jesus, and not performance and not consistency.
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:38.960
No, it's so true that that Jesus has to be uh the end.
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:51.519
I I don't know how many of you out there that are watching this, listening this, have ever thought about this, folks, but simply saying, I am saved, Cliff, it it's a form of worship.
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:56.319
Well, the reason why is because it declares Christ's blood was enough.
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:56.880
That's right.
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:04.799
So what you find uh assurance in most is what you end up worshiping the most.
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:07.759
Let's say it again for folks out there, make sure you is.
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:14.000
What you find assurance in most is going to be that thing you end up worshiping the most.
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:31.920
So if you are convinced that you are the reason why you are seven, that's your performance, that you're keeping of these regulations, these rules, these rights and wrongs, if you're convinced that you doing that is going to be what assures you reach heaven, then guess who you're going to worship with?
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:33.839
You're going to worship yourself.
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:46.799
But if you um are going to trust in Jesus, if you're going to trust in the blood of Jesus Christ, then it's obvious who's going to be the object of your worship.
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:54.880
So you think about legalism, think about cheap grace, either one of those things, or the blood of Jesus, who saved you.
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.960
You know, let's talk truth for just a minute, folks.
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:16.559
If you sing those songs of worship that we've talked about here to today, Jonathan, and yet you find assurance in anything else, then dear folks, you're really and truthfully living a life of contradiction.
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:20.079
You sing blessed assurance, Jesus' mind.
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:23.039
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine.
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:23.920
That's right.
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:25.039
Thank you for that, Cliff.
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:26.480
A great reminder to all of us.
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:37.279
Now, as we close out uh episode two here of Scripture Matters, uh, we want to leave all of you with this kind of question.
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.480
If someone asks you today, are you saved?
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.559
Could you answer that without hesitation?
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.359
Wow.
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:58.319
And obviously, if you uh answer that you can't, or if you answer not, then why?
00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:58.799
Yeah.
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:00.559
Folks, listen to us.
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:05.680
Uh, that's what this study, that's what this look is all about.
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:14.799
And as we move on next week into episode three, we are going to begin to learn the history of assurance.
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:21.200
That assurance didn't just start with the New Testament, it didn't just start with the book of Acts.
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:32.240
Um, and we're going to see how assurance became a very understandable concept even under God's dealings with his children in the old covenant, under the old covenant.
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:35.759
Well, under the old covenant, what did assurance mean to them?
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:52.799
If a child of the old covenant of the old covenant could feel assured of their standing before God, then how much more should we feel under the new covenant on this side of the cross?
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:59.839
Yeah, I was thinking about uh in preparation for this episode, Cliff, I was thinking about the Psalms that David wrote.
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:11.440
And he sounded like a man that from time to time struggled with various things, but the one thing that I see most is that he found assurance that God was going to deliver him.
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:16.480
No matter what the situation was, he believed ultimately that God was gonna deliver him.
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:23.359
And I hope that we can have as much or way more assurance in our life than David had.
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:24.880
We're on this side of the cross.
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.079
So, uh, folks, I hope you've enjoyed our second episode here today.
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:30.960
We've enjoyed it.
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:41.839
I've enjoyed spending this time with you, and we're gonna see all this we've talked about in episode three and so much more uh in our next episode, episode three of Scripture Matters.
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.000
You got any other thoughts here before we send them home?
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:45.279
No, I just cannot wait.
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:46.880
Let's get this thing started more.
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:47.440
That's right.
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:48.240
I've enjoyed it.
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.519
Thank you so much for joining us.
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.839
Again, I'm Jonathan Sandford, the pulpit minister, here at the Waters Road Church of Crimes.
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.680
And this is Cliff Thompson, one of the shepherds here at the Waters Road Church of Crimes.
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:01.920
And you have been watching and listening to Scripture Matters.
