Please remain standing as Brother Brent comes and leads us in prayer.

Brent:    Would you guys please bow your heads?  Lord Jesus, we just want to call upon your name, God, for the reading of Your Word, God, and Your Word says that if we are followers of Your Word, then we have a reward.  If we are just hearers, Lord, it does us no good, Lord, and there are many here that have different needs, God.  Some of us just need to be woken up, God, and hear the real truth of Your Word.  We need to put it in the forefront of the mind that if I do not obey Your Word, then I will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.  God, we just need to hear Your voice loud and clear, Lord.  We need to have Your light shine in the dark places of our lives.  We struggle sometimes just to do the right thing, but, Lord, You’re still with us.  Every person in this room is still breathing.  Every one of us has a chance.  We just ask that You open up our hearts, Lord God, that Your Word can perform what it will, Lord, chase away the darkness, Lord, and bring light into our lives, Lord, and bring power, strength, and stability.  Lord, sometimes we struggle, and we look at ourselves in the mirror, and we see two people, God; we want to see one person, God.  We ask that you bless Brother Jesse; he’s here to deliver the word.  Let us just hear it real, God, and let us just not make excuses, and open our hearts and our minds, that we would hear the words that You have put in his mouth this day.  Forgive us, lead us, guide us.  We just ask for Your blessing and Your reward, Jesus.  Amen. 

Please remain standing as we read the Scripture, the theme Scripture for the month.  I’m going to start in verse number five.  If you’d like to read with me, if you can, please read along.

John 3:5-8           Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Amen.  Thank you for the reading of the Word.  And, Jesus, we ask that we would ponder Your Word, and bless Your Word today. 

Born Again, Part Two.  Last week Parrish started our series off, born again, and I’m going to cover some of the points that he talked about.  One of the points he talked about: from the beginning of creation, everyone was waiting for this message to be born again.  Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, found the One who had that message, at night, to receive the message, you must be born again.  He talked about babies have to be taught, even potty-trained.  Babies have to be taught, even potty-trained.  We are commissioned, not just to stay as babes, but to grow, and not to stay the same as a new-born babe.  We are born again.  Born again lets us know the level of change that’s coming.  Our spirit has to agree with God’s Spirit.  How can two walk together, except they be agreed, amen?  Children of the Father, alone, are heirs to the Father.  You can’t just be a friend of the Father, you can’t be someone who comes and works for the Father, but you have to be a child.  You have to be born again to be an heir of the Father.  And, there are those signs that will follow them that believe.  How we doing with that Scripture that God admonished us with in Isaiah 59:1-2?  If these signs aren’t following us, what’s separating us?  The Scripture says your sin has separated you.  So, if we need to get something right with God, then He will hear us.  His ear is not too heavy, his arm is not too short, it says in Isaiah, but your sins and your iniquities have separated between us.  Amen?

So, that brings us to, Galatians three is going to be our main text for today:

Galatians 3:26-29            For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [born again] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Two main subjects I’m going to talk about today—there was going to be 3, but there was just so much in these two, I asked Parrish if I could carry it on maybe to another message in the future—but the two main points we’re going to talk about:

1.            God is our Father.  We all have one Father, and God is our Father.

2.            We are Family.  We are family.  Every single one of us, that are born again, are family.

1.        God Is Our Father.

Romans 8: 14     For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Our Heavenly Father leads us.  He leads us along the way.    When we are born again we are led by God and God is our Father.

So how do I know God is talking to me?  How do I know it’s God’s voice?  Well, we’re going to come across a situation in the Old Testament where there was a young man was called, and he didn’t know it was God that was speaking to him, too.

1 Samuel 3:1-10               And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if He call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

And the Lord went on to tell Samuel what it was that He wanted him to do.  I don’t care how old you are, I don’t care how long you’ve been around, God speaks, God calls all of us.  First, when you’re first a Christian, you don’t understand that.  When God first spoke to me, before I was even born again, before I even cared about God, when I was four years old—you know how I know this?  Because my aunt had told me—I was sitting outside on the steps, looking up to the sky one day, and I had this look that was real serious, and I was waiting for something.  And she asked me, “What is it, Jess?  What are you doing?”  I said, “Jesus said He’s coming back for me, and I have to wait.”  So, I was waiting for the Lord to come back.  I forgot about that; many years later, God brought that to my remembrance when I was having coffee with her sometime.  She said, “Yeah, God was calling you when you were four.”  I didn’t listen to that call until twenty-something years later.  He first called me when I was four.  So, God calls all of us.  Many are called, but few are chosen.  Now, Samuel didn’t quite understand who was calling him.  “Samuel, Samuel.”  He’d go wake up the prophet, and say, “You called me.”  “No, I didn’t. Go lay down again.”  Finally the prophet realized that God was calling the child.  The Scripture also says that God calls us in a still, small voice.  When you hear that voice, when you start to recognize that voice, you’ve got to do what it tells you to do.  Answer, and say, “Lord, what is it You want me to do?”  And He’ll call you by name; He knows you.  Jesus said, “My sheep follow Me; I call them by name.  They know My voice.  They don’t know the voice of strangers, they know My voice.”  You ever get that, that tugging on your heart, and you just go, “That was God.  I cannot deny it.  I’d better go do what He just spoke to me, I’d better go share with somebody, I’d better go pray for somebody, or go pick somebody up for church.  Whatever it is that God told me to do, right then, I’ve got to stop what I’m doing, and listen to God.  So, our Heavenly Father calls us.  You can’t be born again unless you’re called.  It’s God who calls us.

Parrish was sharing in the youth service, how, they would love just to hear His voice, the voice of Jesus.  You can hear it.  I’m here to tell you today, you can hear it.  You’ve got to put away all the distractions, and things that kind of weigh you down, whether it’s other people trying to pull at your attention, turn off the computer for a little bit, put the phone aside, and say, Lord, I want to hear Your voice.  You’ll hear Him; you’ll hear Him.

The context of this Scripture: Peter just preached to the Jews, and told them that they just killed the Christ.  He told them that they messed up.  The One that they were waiting for, they put on the cross.  They were pricked in their heart, and they asked, what should we do?

Acts 2:38-39       Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

It’s God who calls.  I don’t care how persuasive you think you are, if you’re trying to get somebody to be born again, unless God is calling them, you’re not going to get them.  So, many years later, I came into the Navy; a young man in the Navy.  I went to the Gulf War.  We had a lot of down time.  Of course, I wasn’t a Christian at the time, and I would say my jokes.  They were bad jokes, I’m not proud of them, and everybody would laugh, except for one person.  I said, “I’m going to get that man to laugh.”  I tried, but he would not laugh.  He was a Christian; he was keeping the testimony of the Lord.  And God was showing me through his life, that’s the example that I was going to need to be when He was ready to call.  He was telling me, “Come up, come up.”  Many years later, I ended up coming to Bible studies, here and there; starting to seek, and God was starting to deal with my heart.  The weight, like your mom was talking about, the weight of the world was on me.  I felt like, “I can’t escape!  I can’t get away!”  So I started crying out to God; I started seeking Him with my whole heart.  The Bible says if you seek Him with your whole heart, you’ll find Him.  Even Paul said, on Mars Hill, when he was talking about the unknown God, he said, “He is not far from every one of us.”  All you’ve got to do is seek after Him.  Feel after Him, he said.  So, here I was, I was working at Oceana, the Navy Base, at the time, and I was doing my thing.  Still kind of partying, still kind of going to Bible studies.  Kind of in and out of the world.  I wasn’t deciding what I wanted to do yet, not really fully committed, but God was patient, longsuffering.  And, there was this gentleman who lived across the hall from me, and there was this Gospel music playing.  I was walking by, and something just kind of pushed me into his room.  There was nobody around me, but it felt like I just kind of got a nudge.  I was drawn into that room.  Remember, now, I was seeking.  I wanted to know God, and I wanted to know God’s people.  I asked him a few questions, and he opened the Bible, and he said, “Here’s your answer.  Here’s your answer.  Here’s your answer.”  I said, “How does this man know, everything on my heart that I need to know, at this moment in time?”  He said, “Why don’t you come out to church with us tonight?”  “It’s Wednesday night.  I’ve got to vacuum my floor.  I’ve got to do this.”  All these excuses—I’ve got to do my laundry.  Ever hear that before?  Laundry’s more important than God’s call.  But, as I was walking out of that room, God played a videotape in my mind of this other gentleman, back on the ship.  I turned right around, and I said, “Do you know Bob Noll?”  He said, “Yeah, I know him.  He goes to my church.”  I said, “Give me five minutes; I’ll be ready to go.”  God took that testimony back from that ship, and this man’s being able to share the Word, and answer the needs, put it right then, and said, “This is your calling.  This is your time. You’d better go.  Now.”  I didn’t get baptized that night.  I wrestled with that, because I’d been baptized several times before.  What got me in the message was the preacher.  I was still drinking, still cursing.  In fact, the next day after church, I went in my friend’s room, lit up a cigarette, and a voice said, “You don’t need that anymore.”  I put out the cigarette, and never picked up another one to smoke the rest of my life.  I still wasn’t saved, but God was dealing with me, starting to prepare me, to say “This is what you have.  You don’t need that any more.  You don’t need this friend that’s here, that’s not going to take you anywhere.  You don’t need any of this.”  God says, “You’re ready.”  Amen?  So God calls us.

Our Father leads us.  Our heavenly Father leads us.

A lot of people like to quote this during funerals and things, but I say, why not live it now while we’re alive?  Every day.  Why wait until you’re dead to live the Scripture?  Anyways, amen.

Psalms 23:1-3    (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

He leads me every day.  He guides me.  He takes me by the still waters, where I can get a refreshing, cool drink of the living waters.  Every day He leads me. 

Isaiah 42:16       And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.  These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

Isn’t that great?  He’s not going to forsake us.  He’s going to bring us through those things.  All those things that we’re confused about in school and in life and at work, He’s going to make those paths straight.  He’s going to give you understanding.  “This is why you’re going through this, and this is the result of this, and this is how I want you to walk, and this what I want you to do.”

Malachi 1: 6       A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?

 God wants to lead us.  He wants to be that Father.  He’s always there, always available.  The trick about being a father—and I’m a young father, I’m learning.  This is my first baby, my first child—is, you’ve got to bring them to the place where they want to learn.  And God wants us to get to the place where we are willing to learn.  He’s always available.  Dad’s always available, yeah, Dad’s always there.  But we’ve got to want to learn.  We’ve got to want to learn from our Heavenly Father.  There are other things out there that are going to teach us, tell us do this, do that, but God is always there.  Where is my heart?  “Invite Me to come.”  And He doesn’t force Himself upon us.  He stands at the door and He knocks, just like He stood and called, “Samuel, Samuel.”  He didn’t shake him up out of his bed, yelling at him in the middle of the night.  Samuel, Samuel,” then he waited for him to answer, “Here am I.”  That’s what he wants from us.  A still, small voice, trying to get us to do right things.  You might grow up in church your whole life, like Aaron was sharing, and even get baptized, but, at some point in your life, you’re going to have to come to God yourself.  You’re going to have to come to the realization that God is real, yourself.  Otherwise, it’s just going to be your parents’ church, or your uncle’s church, or somebody else’s church.  God has to be real to you, today.  You have to cry out to God, yourself.  And, thank God, Aaron, you came to that realization of what you needed to do.  “I need to give my dad a call, and say, ‘I need to get back with God.’”  That’s a powerful testimony.  Very few words, but it’ powerful, because it lets us know that God is always there, and He’s always dealing with us.  Like Greg shared in his prayer, as long as you have breath, you’re alive, God is dealing with us, and we have a chance.

Proverbs 6: 20-23             My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

You got to keep it with you.  You got to keep it with you.  You got to keep it with in the day; you got to keep it with you in the night.  When you wake up, you’ve got to let it talk to you, let God speak to you.  Let the first voice you hear in the morning be God.  And if it’s not, get it out of there.  Take some time with God, first thing.  God will lead us; our Heavenly Father leads us.

Our Father corrects us.  This is not always easy.  Even, as my daughter, sometimes, I’ll say, “No, baby girl, you can’t do that.  You can’t climb on the couch and jump right now; you’re going to fall and hit your head.”  Sometimes I have to be a little more stern.  She’ll go to grab an outlet, “NO!”  Got to get her attention.  Not that I want her to—you know, be mean to her, but, I’ve got to stop her, warn her, before she hurts herself.  Or, if she takes and grabs my wife’s hair, or goes to hit her.  I’ll say, “NO!” very firmly, “You don’t see me lay my hands on your mother, and you should not.”  She’ll cry, and I’ll say, “Now, daddy loves you,” and I’ll comfort her, but, I’ve got to teach her those things, I’ve got to correct her, otherwise she’s going to go thinking it’s okay to hit, it’s okay to touch the fire, it’s okay to touch the oven.  Just like that, God’s go to be like that with us.  He’s got to warn us; He’s got to correct us; He’s got to show us, “No, you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong.”  Sometimes it’s a still, small voice, “No, no, no, don’t go that way.  Sometimes it’s like, “STOP NOW or you will die!”  It’s got to be that way with God, sometimes.  Amen?  Our Father corrects us.

I like a lot of proverbs.  I include them a lot in things that I share.  There’s a lot of wisdom in there.

Proverbs 3:11-12              My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

So, it doesn’t sound like it’s a good thing, but it’s a good thing; because God loves us, He corrects us.

Job 5:17-18         Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:  For He maketh sore, and bindeth up: He woundeth, and His hands make whole.

So, when God corrects you, he doesn’t leave you wounded; He doesn’t leave you there in despair.  He heals, and binds up the wounds.  He says, “It’s okay.  I take my daughter in my arms, and I say, “It’s okay.  You learned something from this.  I love you.  You can move forward from this.”  And that’s how God treats us; He doesn’t just leave us down there.  He’s going to warn us, tell us we’re wrong, when we repent, then He heals us.  Amen?

Hebrews 12: 5-13             And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:  For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the Father chasteneth not?  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence:  shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?  For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.  Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.  Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

What would our homes be like if we never had correction?  If we just said to our kids, “Come and go as you please.  Do what you want.”  What would out schools be like?  What would our workplaces be like?  I’ll take that in the House of God:  What would it be like if we were never corrected, if we were always “right?”  I put myself in this boat, too.  I need to be corrected, too.  Amen?  I’m no better than anybody else, just because I happen to have the mike today.  I have to deal with things when I’m wrong; the key is I don’t stay wrong.  When you stay wrong—a just man falls seven times, but a wicked man falls and stays there; just sits.  But a righteous man gets up after he falls, the Bible says, and he keeps going.  The key is to not stay in the wrong when you’re corrected.  It doesn’t feel good to the flesh.  None of like to be told that we’re wrong.  Any of you like to be told you’re wrong?  Andy?  Parrish?  No?  Ever get told you’re wrong?  All the time, right?  Sometimes we think that leaders don’t get corrected, either.  Probably a lot more than the rest of us, right?  Sometimes we think we are too far above to be corrected by our brothers and sisters.  Let me say that again:  Sometimes we think we’re too far along to be corrected by our brothers and sisters.  God forbid.

We are family.  Let’s go to the next point.  I think I got the point across.  Our Heavenly Father corrects us.

2.        We Are Family

1Corinthians 12: 13-28   For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

We didn’t choose this family, just like the natural family you were born into.  You can’t say, “Well, I was born in Minnesota; well, I’d rather have been born in Baltimore, with Parrish’s family.”  That’s just the family I was born into.  I didn’t choose it, that’s just how I am; that’s where I was born.  Same as when you’re born again.  We don’t pick and choose who comes into the family of God.  That’s God’s side.  God calls them and God deals with them and God brings their talents and their part into the body. 

Sometimes we invite people out, and they come and go, and sometimes they come back, but that doesn’t mean they’re part of the body.  They are not born again until they obey the Gospel.  They are not family.  Even if I invited my brothers and sisters out, and I know them as family, in the flesh, they’re not in the family of God until they obey the Gospel.  They’re not part of the body until they obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Some people say, ‘my church family,’ but do you really know and understand what that means that we are family? 

When one of us that are born in this family, washed by the blood of Jesus, baptized, taken on His in His name, departs, we feel it.  Like Lebron James, when he went down to Miami, and he said, “I’m taking my talents down to Miami to play basketball,” Cleveland felt it; they were hurt.  They were missing that guy; he was good.  Just like Miami missed him when he went back up to Cleveland.  People come and go, but they’re always family.  We always feel it, and we always know.  Sometimes we come across people, or people will be put on your heart to pray for them; there’s a reason for that, because they’re family.  And, when one of us suffers we all suffer.  Brother Jesse G., Parrish shared, he’s in the hospital; he’s suffering.  We all suffer.  We feel that.  We should.  We should.  At the very least, we should be praying for him, and go visit him, and calling him.  We should at least be praying for him, because we all suffer.  Or whether one gets honor.  Someone gets a promotion at their job, or someone gets married, that’s honor; we all rejoice.  We share that with the family, amen?  We are tied by the blood of Jesus Christ for eternity.  People come and go, that’s their choice, but I choose to stay because this where God has placed me in the body.  This is my family.  Peter told Jesus, “We’ve left all.  We’ve left our wives, everything, to follow you.”  He said, “You haven’t left all that you’re not going to need.  You’re going to gain that much more.  You’re going to gain family and houses and wives and persecution, but you’re getting a lot more in this family.  I got more family here that loves and cares for me.  Sometimes I don’ even hear from my family.  One of my brothers I haven’t heard from in five years.  He’s just chosen not to talk to the family.  Now, if he calls up today, I’ll greet him as a brother, and say, “I’m glad you called,” because he’s still family.  Amen? 

God decides who does what in the family.  God decides who does what in the family.  You can’t say, “Well, I would like to do that, because it’s more visible; I think I’m more important if I do this.”  But, what if God is giving you the gift of helps, to be able to help and support those who are more visible?  But, if you choose not to do that, the body’s lacking, because you’re not doing what you’re called to do.  What if everybody was a teacher, where would the evangelists be?  Where would the prophets be?  I’m going to ask a few people to stand up:  Kirk, Parrish, Andy, Pete, Mike A., Ed H., Chris Ulrich; these are anointed teachers that have taught me over the years.  These are people that God has placed the gift of teaching in this ministry that have personally taught me.  There are others—all men are apt to teach—but these are specific gifts that God has placed in their lives, and said, “These are teachers.”  Thank you, brothers.

What if everybody was a prophet, and they sat around and prophesied all the time?  What if everybody sat around and spoke in tongues?  What if everybody just felt like they had the gift of healing, but nobody taught the Word?  God chooses these things in the body.  God picks these things in the body.  It’s not about you; it’s not about me; it’s all of us.  God decides what He’s going to do with those gifts and callings.  We are family.

Sometimes we think we’re not spiritual because we don’t have what we think we should have.  You can seek after those things, but if it’s not God’s desire to give that to you, you’re seeking in vain.  Seek to do what God has for you to do and just be faithful.  And God will lift you up. 

Personally, I would rather not be a preacher, I’d rather be sitting down there listening to others preach.  I just so happens to be that this is what God wants me to do right now.  Maybe that’s why God has me doing that right now, because it’s not about me, it’s about Jesus.  Amen?  I don’t get to choose that, God does.

Let’s close with the passage we started with.  I know this wasn’t real shouting message today, and I didn’t jump up and down and whoop and holler, have you all weeping in the altar.  It’s more of a kind of a sit along the still waters and just take a drink today.

Galatians 3:26-29            For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

 

               Amen.  Give the Lord a praise.
