Now the Holy Spirit indwells every believer; every real believer. And the Holy Spirit is able to reveal to him all things. Now the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, every real believer. And the Holy Spirit is able to reveal to him all things. “… Eye hath not seen nor ear heard; neither hath it entered into the heart of man the things the Lord has prepared for him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit ….” So that we have someone dwelling in us that can reveal these things that are in the Word of God to us. If you really want to do business with God; you really want to get right down to the nitty-gritty with Him, come to Him and ask for life. Ask for guidance. Ask for His assurance.

The question is, “Have I really faced up to my sins in the light of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ? Have I come to God in repentance, owning my guilt and acknowledging my iniquity? And have I cast myself upon Him and Him only for my salvation? Have I evidence in my life of being a regenerate soul of God? Do I love the Word of God? Do I want the Word of God? Is it bread to me? Is it meat to me? Is it drink to me? Do I love the brethren? And do I love the Lord Jesus Christ?” These are the things, my friends.

You and I are living actually in the last days here on the earth. It’s been the last time for a long time. This is the age in which He’s calling out a people to His name. And you could say at any time during this period, “Now is the acceptable time. Today, if you’ll hear His voice.” Why that? Why the urgency about salvation? Because, friends, you might not be here tomorrow. I might not be on this radio tomorrow. It just might be we won’t be around, so it’s important for me to give out the Word. It’s important for you to hear the Word.

The Lord Jesus says, “I love them. I gave my life for them, and I’ve saved you because I love you. Now you say you love me. If you love me, keep my commandments. And I say, ‘Go.’ I say, ‘Get the gospel out.’ I say, ‘Get the Word of God out.’ Now don’t tell me that you love Me. Don’t wait until you have some great emotional experience as you’re swept off.” The question is, do you love Jesus Christ who saved you? Do you love Him? Then cut out the nonsense. “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

The Lord Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life ….” Multitudes that have been lost in this world have come to Him and have found it to be true. And you can find it to be true—even in days like these. I tell you what a comfort it is, what a hope it is, what a wonderful thing it is to have an assurance in days like these. May God keep us true. And if you have lost your way, may I say come to Christ. He is the Light, He is the way, He is the truth, He’s the life.

What a wonderful hour I think it is to live in and to still be able to be intelligent. And I went to school with some of these fellows, and I know what kind of grades they can make when they sit down and are really put to the test. And I want to say this to you. You can still be an intelligent person and believe the Word of God and believe that Jesus Christ 1900 years ago intruded into history. And He died on a cross. He rose again the third day bodily, He ascended back to heaven, and He’s alive tonight. He has sent the Holy Spirit into the world, and the Holy Spirit has made Him real to multitudes tonight. May I say that’s still the message.

How can you overcome the wicked one? With the Word of God. What is it called? Well, the only weapon of offense that’s ever been given to a believer is the Word of God, which is the sword of the Spirit. And I tell you, if you’re going to be able to defend yourself against the devil, you’re going to need the Word of God. And the reason so many believers are succumbing today to the world is simply because they’re not in the Word of God. I find that a great many people do not mature. And yet a great many others do. Why? Because they stay in the Word of God.

Now how are you going to know the Lord Jesus Christ? Well, friends, the only way you can know Him is in the Word of God. And a great many people, they feel that if they go to a Bible study once a week or they go to a little course that they take, that somehow or another that they’re super-duper saints. My friend, the Word of God is like food. But imagine going in and eating a good meal and then saying, “Well, I’ll be back in a week. And I’ll have another meal with you.” Well, that’s no good. This is the Bread of Life. And if we are to know Christ, we’re to live with Him, and He’s to live with us. And that’s the way you can come to know Him.

“I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.” You see, the young men are strong because they know the Word of God. And that’s the only way in the world you’ll ever be strong. Now, you can go to the gymnasium and do sitting up exercises and watch TV and do them in your living room, and you may be able to develop a few muscles. But you’ll never be strong in the Lord until you get into the Word of God. There’s nothing but the Word of God, friends, that can make you strong.

Believers are to do the will of God, and the will of God, primarily, first of all, is to love Him. Oh, how important that this is here. And this is something that identifies the believer. A believer is one that delights in the will of God, and a believer ought to be able to say, because the true light—“the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.” Day by day, moment by moment, I ought to be able to say I’m getting to know the Lord better. I’m understanding His will more perfectly. And that ought to be the experience of every child of God today. That day after day you ought to be growing.
