The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 73

And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all. (Mark 14:27-31) 599 You’ll make mistakes. You’ll fall. You’ll wilfully do wrong. You’ll go out sometime and do things. That don’t mean that you’re lost. That means that you’re going to get correction. 600 My little boy, lots of times, my children, will do things. Your does, too. That you…They know that’s against your—your rules. And they know what to expect when they do it. They’re going to get a whipping for it, sometimes a good one. But it’s still your child. Certainly. 601 It’s impossible for that man to ever be gone again, that’s once been born of Eternal Life. God is not an Indian giver. “He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life; and shall never come to the Judgment, but is passed from death unto Life. I’ll raise him up at the last days.” That’s God’s promise. 602 Now if you go on, say, “Oh, well, then I can do just…” I always do what I want to do. But if you’re a Christian, you don’t want to do the thing that’s wrong, ’cause the very Life in you, the very foundation. If you want to do wrong, it shows the wrong thing is in here. “How can bitter and sweet water come from the same fountain?” 603 So you been all mixed up, on some kind of emotion or fabulous something, another sensation. Forget it. Go back to the altar and say, “God, take my old sinful life away, and put me in such a condition that my whole desire…” “He that’s born of God does not commit sin.” That’s right. He has no desire to do so. 604 Certainly, the devil will trap him here and there, but not wilfully. The Bible said so. The devil will trap him, now and then. Sure, he will. He tried to throw a traps for our Lord Jesus. He did to Moses, and caught him. He did to Peter, and caught him. He did to many, but…Peter even denied Him, but then he went and wept bitterly. There was Something in him. 57-0915m - "Hebrews, Chapter Six #3" Rev.
