[990.02 --> 990.84] except through me.
[992.08 --> 993.02] Same message here.
[993.46 --> 993.98] All things,
[994.10 --> 995.70] Panta is the great Greek word,
[995.70 --> 997.32] all things have been committed
[997.32 --> 998.34] to Him by the Father.
[999.36 --> 1000.74] And this kingdom is revealed
[1000.74 --> 1002.38] to those only to whom
[1002.38 --> 1003.56] the Son reveals it to.
[1004.42 --> 1005.70] He is the only way.
[1006.90 --> 1008.34] And that's our call to faith,
[1008.42 --> 1008.72] isn't it?
[1009.50 --> 1011.06] Even when we get baptized,
[1011.30 --> 1012.64] we become members of the church.
[1013.06 --> 1013.90] That is the question
[1013.90 --> 1015.44] that we're all challenged,
[1015.62 --> 1016.12] wrestle with,
[1016.28 --> 1017.66] and answer in faith.
[1018.40 --> 1020.12] Do you believe that Jesus Christ
[1020.12 --> 1021.14] is your Lord and Savior?
[1021.14 --> 1023.70] Do you believe that He is
[1023.70 --> 1025.80] the only way to be saved?
[1027.66 --> 1029.82] That is Jesus' claim
[1029.82 --> 1031.46] and His invitation
[1031.46 --> 1033.40] to us and for the people
[1033.40 --> 1034.24] that are listening here.
[1038.96 --> 1040.84] To accept and confess
[1040.84 --> 1043.64] that Jesus is Lord of our lives,
[1043.80 --> 1045.30] that He is our only path
[1045.30 --> 1045.92] to salvation,
[1046.42 --> 1047.24] and the path to living
[1047.24 --> 1048.30] a life of blessing,
[1048.94 --> 1050.14] has huge implications,
[1050.14 --> 1051.22] implications, by the way.
[1052.10 --> 1053.30] Again, it's not,
[1053.48 --> 1053.76] you're just,
[1053.86 --> 1055.52] you're not sitting on the edge,
[1056.14 --> 1056.92] keeping your distance
[1056.92 --> 1057.48] and saying,
[1057.64 --> 1058.16] oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
[1058.16 --> 1059.02] I know Jesus.
[1059.18 --> 1060.54] I know, I believe the guy.
[1061.20 --> 1062.22] Yeah, I'm Christian.
[1062.40 --> 1064.16] I go to church twice a year.
[1064.58 --> 1065.04] I'm fine.
[1066.48 --> 1068.00] Jesus is pulling us,
[1068.06 --> 1069.90] inviting us to walk along
[1069.90 --> 1071.20] with Him every step
[1071.20 --> 1072.14] of our lives.
[1073.22 --> 1075.36] Our faith, we confess,
[1075.50 --> 1076.90] is that our whole lives
[1076.90 --> 1077.66] belong to Him.
[1077.82 --> 1078.84] Not just on Sunday,
[1078.84 --> 1080.96] not just when we feel
[1080.96 --> 1081.80] like we want to pray,
[1082.40 --> 1084.54] not just when we need God
[1084.54 --> 1085.42] for something,
[1086.16 --> 1088.30] but for every single step,
[1088.40 --> 1089.68] every moment of our lives,
[1089.86 --> 1091.72] we say it belongs to Him.
[1092.00 --> 1093.76] Just like Paul writes
[1093.76 --> 1094.16] in his letter
[1094.16 --> 1095.22] to the Colossian church.
[1096.18 --> 1097.06] For in Him,
[1097.24 --> 1097.86] in Jesus,
[1098.06 --> 1099.18] all things were created,
[1099.44 --> 1100.10] things in heaven
[1100.10 --> 1100.72] and on earth,
[1101.02 --> 1102.18] visible and invisible,
[1102.62 --> 1103.36] whether thrones
[1103.36 --> 1104.56] or powers or authorities,
[1105.16 --> 1106.10] all things,
[1106.18 --> 1106.86] same Greek word,
[1106.86 --> 1107.34] Panta,
[1107.60 --> 1109.06] all things have been created
[1109.06 --> 1110.58] through Him and for Him.
[1111.82 --> 1113.52] He is before all things
[1113.52 --> 1114.36] and in Him,
[1114.46 --> 1116.28] all things hold together,
[1117.38 --> 1119.66] including our salvation.
[1119.66 --> 1123.28] it is through the death
[1123.28 --> 1124.96] and resurrection of Jesus
[1124.96 --> 1126.86] that we are called His children.
[1127.14 --> 1128.70] Not by our own strength,
[1128.92 --> 1130.32] not by our own works,
[1131.32 --> 1134.78] but only through His loving grace.
[1136.36 --> 1137.76] That's Jesus' claim.
[1138.58 --> 1140.16] That's verse 27 for us.
[1142.20 --> 1143.48] Then one of my favorite verses
[1143.48 --> 1144.16] in the whole Bible,
[1145.00 --> 1145.22] right?
[1145.22 --> 1146.46] Very popular.
[1146.62 --> 1148.96] For it is by grace
[1148.96 --> 1150.10] you have been saved
[1150.10 --> 1151.22] through faith.
[1151.90 --> 1153.90] And this is not from yourselves.
[1154.62 --> 1156.08] It is the gift of God.
[1156.62 --> 1157.70] Not by works
[1157.70 --> 1160.14] so that no one can boast.
[1161.42 --> 1162.28] What's boasting?
