  271. Three years he preached the gospel of repentance and faith

    John 3:5

  281. Unless one is born of water and spirit he cannot enter the

  292. him, Lord we do not know where you are going.

  293. How can we know the way man and Sabina ate Saranya, I am the

  294. way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father

  295. except through me, and I'll make may we continuously be

  296. established in this truth and to be rooted and grounded in this

  297. foundation of truth and doctrine that we have, that we use.

  298. We continuously proclaim that He, our Lord Jesus Christ, is

  299. the only Saviour in this world. Then no one can be saved and

  300. cleansed from their sins through any name or nor in any other

  301. religion or in any religion, nor in any good bid bids, but only

  302. through Jesus Christ. That is the only source and He's

  303. the only way for us to be saved. Sabia asked 1338.

  304. Through this man, forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

  305. That is why my friends, it is only through him.

  306. He is our only Saviour. He came not just to proclaim or

  307. not just to provide an opportunity.

  308. Again, Hindi pusha dumating dito someone though paramount begala

  309. and opportunity for people to be saved.

  310. But rather, as we continuously hear from the scriptures, He

  311. didn't give an opportunity to be saved, but he indeed came to

  312. save His people to whom the Father gave Him all for His

  313. glory. And as we go back to John 14,

  314. when Jesus told his disciples that He would soon be leaving

  315. shampoo inexcusably Nasrani among these tipples, Ashai

  316. malapit nang bumalik salang, They were for sure they were

  317. saddened and troubled by it at pending my easy Mila or Chino

  318. magiging leader Nila. You know, and but Jesus

  319. comforted them by saying this in verse 16.

  320. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper to

  321. be with you forever. And when he sits at his Father's

  322. right hand in heaven, according to first John 2 verse one, Jesus

  323. Christ, the righteous will be our advocate with the Father

  324. when we sin. And it's not just that.

  325. And Sabinsa, Romans 834 He is also interceding for us while

  326. he's in heaven, for He is still there for us.

  327. He is still here with us. He pleads for our forgiveness of

  328. our sins even up to this point. He pleads for us for our

  329. forgiveness. He brings our needs.

  330. He brings our sufferings, our afflictions as well, or as our

  331. Thanksgiving and praises and songs.

  332. He's the one giving, bringing all of these things from us to

  333. the holy throne of God. That's our King, That's our

  334. saviour, and that's what he continuously do for us today.

  335. That's adding last point, I think.

  336. So I think Sermon are we only with him when he returns?

  337. I think third points at the guy look book summer Blang banat in

  338. Talagang. Ignore Nah kind I think sabhi

  339. nakasama Nathan and Dios Pakshi Tuluyan as a second coming and

  340. bumalik dito sumundo. And this is the topic or the the

  341. truth that we are going to talk about on this last point, Sabi

  342. Sir John chapter 1, the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

    John 1 chapter mention

  343. It is in verse 14 Dito the word the loggers truly become flesh.

  344. The one who is spirit became flesh in form of of infant

  345. infant born to a virgin Tinawag pushing Emmanuel and the reason

  346. why he was called Emmanuel is because an epic Sabina word

  347. Emmanuel is God with us the word Emmanuel or name name Emmanuel.

  348. And in this event, though God the word became flesh, it is

  349. also a fulfillment of God's promise or ancient covenant

  350. promises to Abraham, to Moses, to David and all the prophets

  351. which it says that his promise is this, that I will be your God

  352. and you shall be my people. At another point on those I'm

  353. boom. He spent three years with his

  354. disciples Peter Bagshaw Umalis. He gave his promise to John 14

    John 14:18

  355. verse 18, I will not leave you as orphans again in John 14

    John 14:18
