Another Sermon for the Starving Bible Believing Christians All Over the World Wide Web
2006 - Touchet Baptist Church, Touchet, Washington - Pastor Mike Paulson - 2006
Expounding the way of God more perfectly - Acts 18:26 - with the Scriptures Rightly Divided - II Timothy 2:15
What If There Was No Birth of Jesus?
Romans 3:3,4 - For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

People don't want to believe anything anymore - but that doesn't change the truth of what God said - today, they don't even KNOW what God has said.  He is totally the unknown God to them!  Acts 17!

They can't believe or trust God anyway - They have no clue about His way more perfectly!

There are a lot of folks who live like there is no truth - no Jesus birth - no Jesus period - they have no life!!

But to you and me - and us here in our little church family?
It's been a "wonderful life" ...  Because of a wonderful Saviour and His wonderful Book!
And ... because of the person and teachings of Paul!
Philippians 4:9
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.


But what if...

Jesus hadn't been born?

What it...
There were no Major and Minor prophets? What if...
There was no Moses? What if...
There was no Abraham? What if...
There was no Tower of Babel! What if...
No Noah's ark? What if...
There was no Fall from Adam and Eve? What if...
There was no Creation?
But without Jesus / The Word - there couldn't have been a beginning
because Jesus Christ is the one who made it all!
Ephesians 3:9
Colossians 1:16,17

So if there was no Word - John 1 - we wouldn't be here!


So why not trust Him today - it is by Him that you are even here!
You might as well listen up!  Believe and trust!

But... what if... after Jesus was born - God manifest Himself on this earth, etc. that there was...

No sinless 'life & walk of Christ?'

What if...
No crucifixion? What if...
Ok, there was Jesus born - there was the crucifixion - there was the resurrection, etc.

But now what if...
There was no resurrection?  There was no cross - nothing beyond the cross! (No Abraham's bosom story in Luke 16, either)
Mary had touched His feet?
Jesus didn't try to offer Himself again through Peter and Stephen?
They hadn't killed Stephen?

We would still be dogs!

Ok - what if...
There was no Paul?

What if...
There was no KJB? What if...
There was no rightly dividing? What if...
No Hebrews to Jude and Revelation? What if... What if...
There was no eternity - Do you have more of your own "What if's" to ask yourself?

What a waste this life could have been!


No, folks! We have truly had a wonderful life - we have learned a lot - been through a lot.  But we DO HAVE AN GREATER FUTURE - and yet, some of it is going to be determined on what we do today!

This wonderful life we life today must be HIS LIFE!
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
 
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,
that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake,
that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
II Corinthians 4:10,11

And because of what He did do for us, we ought to try to return our thanks and our efforts TO PLEASE HIM!
Don't ya think?

How do you know what to do?
Read the Book while you still have one!  KJB rightly divided, of course!

Only by trusting Jesus Christ through this KJB rightly divided...
...can you have a wonderful life today - AND tomorrow!

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Philippians 3:13
