00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,760
I'm thinking today of Luke 17, 1, and it says, and he said to his disciples,

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,240
it is inevitable that stumbling blocks should come, but woe to him through whom

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,880
they come. We'll stop right there for the moment and just think about what this

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,640
verse means. The bottom line is there will be people in this life, even people

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,560
who claim the name of Christ, who offend, who stand in the way of other people

6
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,080
getting saved. There is nothing that any person can do to be saved. You cannot be

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,000
saved because you do good works. You cannot be saved because you turn to

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,840
being honest. When a man turns from one sin, he's likely to turn to another. We

9
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,160
get saved through the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven

10
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:49,860
given among men by which we must be saved. So trust in Jesus Christ and His

11
00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:53,280
atoning sacrifice, that means the price that He paid on the cross for you to be

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,680
saved today. And having been saved, then to begin to live for the Lord to the

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,840
best of your ability and to help others do the same. Let us not, because we have

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,200
become saved, become stumbling blocks to others to help them not be saved. No, it's

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,120
our job to see to it that everybody can find out the truth that they need to

16
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,920
know. And the number one thing is that we're saved through Jesus. Ask them, just

17
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,520
say, if you'll call upon the name of the Lord, you can be saved. They're looking

18
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,640
for a sign. If you call upon the name of the Lord, God will do a great work in

19
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,800
your heart. Oh Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and

20
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,440
being the one and only way to salvation. If it was dependent upon me, I know I

21
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,520
wouldn't make it. But because it's dependent upon you, I know I will make it.

22
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:42,760
Have faith. Jesus loves you and He's going to see you through. Next, settings,

23
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:50,520
the word settings, S-E-T-T-I-N-G-S to 419-419-0095.
