It stresses the critical link between the Old and New Testaments through Messianic prophecies and the law, pointing to the fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The message calls for repentance and the preaching of forgiveness among all nations, emphasizing the need for all men to acknowledge their sinfulness and turn to God. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 verse 16, we read that all scripture, all scripture is given by inspiration of God. I repeat, all scripture is given by inspiration of God. And is profitable, is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. But the point that I want to stress here tonight, the point that I want to stress here tonight, is that all scripture, all scripture is given, given by inspiration of God. No prophecy of the scripture, no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Peter 1 verse 20, for the prophecy came not in the old time by the will of man. The prophecy came not in the old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His word was in my tongue. Samuel wrote in 2 Samuel 23 verse 2, and my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45 verse 1, write thee, write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. Jeremiah 30 verse 2, and this commandment from God is repeated over and over again in the Old Testament. To holy men of God, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Beloved, all scripture, all scripture is given by inspiration of God. And we dare not begin to falter on this point Church of Jesus Christ. We dare not begin to falter on this point Church of Jesus Christ. In this tragic, fearful, and dangerous age of doctrinal chaos worldwide. In which a virtue army, a virtue army of unregenerate liberal theologians worldwide. Have joined the ranks, have openly joined the ranks of the godless, haters of God and especially of God's word. In unprecedented, unprecedented, undermining, refuting, discrediting, perverting, and angrily rejecting. A staggering amount of the vital truths and clear teachings of the sacred book. Beloved, I believe the time has come in church history, in our church history. And we need, we need to shout from the top of every steeple on every church building. Then along for every pulpit in every church building across the world. That we believe, we believe and remain unmovable on this point. That all scripture, all scripture is given by inspiration of God. All scripture is given by inspiration of God. From Genesis 1 verse 1 to Revelation 22 verse 21. Every verse without exception. This is the only divinely inspired word of God this world has been given. This is the only divinely inspired word of God this world has been given. Now, the Old Testament. The Old Testament is a compilation, a compilation of 39 separate, yet essentially linked, essentially linked divinely inspired books. The Old Testament is a compilation of 39 separate, yet essentially linked, divinely inspired books which are titled Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. Now, these 39 separate, yet essentially linked, divinely inspired books of the Old Testament are critically linked, are critically linked to the 27 separate, yet essentially linked, divinely inspired books of the New Testament. The 39 books of the Old Testament are critically linked to the 27 books of the New Testament, primarily through the Messianic prophecies, primarily through the Messianic prophecies which are strewn across the pages of the Old Testament, which were fulfilled in and through the life and death of the Lord Jesus Christ, which was witnessed, which was witnessed by His disciples, and graphically recorded, graphically recorded in the New Testament. But, the over 300 Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament, the over 300 Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament were initially held out to the Jew, initially held out to the Jew to give them hope and anticipation, hope and anticipation of a coming Messiah or Savior of Israel, but also that they would recognize Him, also that they would recognize Him when He came, but far more importantly, far more importantly, they were given for the entire world, they were given for the entire world to be convinced that Jesus was God, manifest in the flesh, that Jesus was God, manifest in the flesh, to die for all of mankind's sins, that they might escape the damnation of eternal hell and receive the gift of eternal life by grace through faith in Him. But, the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament were initially held out to the Jew first, Romans 2 verse 10 says, to the Jew first, Romans 2 verse 10, but although He came unto His own, that is to the Jew, His own received Him not, John 1 verse 11, John 1 verse 11, but as many, as many as received Him, contextually as many Jews as received Him, to them gave He power or the right to become the sons of God or children of God, even to them that believe on His name, and only, only to them that believe on His name. One of the most staggering and incomprehensible events in history, one of the most staggering and incomprehensible events in history, is that the Jew, who were entrusted with the Messianic prophecies, did not recognize Him, did not recognize Him when He came, but rejected Him. They rejected Him as being God's promised Messiah, not only then, at that time, but down through the ages to this present day, en masse, in Matthew 22, in Matthew 22 verse 29, Christ rebuked, Christ rebuked, the revered, but greatly feared religious leaders of Israel at that time, saying, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, you are wrong, not knowing the Scriptures, search the Scriptures, John 5 verse 39, for in them, in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of Me, they are they which testify of Me, Moses wrote of Me, Moses wrote of Me, verse 46, in Luke 24, after His death and resurrection, Christ appeared to two of His distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus, while they communed together, and reasoned, verse 15 says, concerning His unjust, cruel crucifixion, while they, together with multitudes of others across Israel, had hoped that this was the promised Messiah, verse 25, and He said unto them, O fool, and slow of heart to believe all the prophets have spoken, ought not Christ to have suffered these things, ought not Christ to have suffered these things, beginning at Moses, that is the first five books of the Bible which are written by Moses, beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Himself, He then appeared to the rest of the apostles, in Luke 24, verse 44, and He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, these are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning Me, then opened He their understanding, that they, that they might understand the Scriptures, and He said unto them, Thus it is written, thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, thus it is written, and therefore it was essential for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance, and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem, and ye are witnesses, ye are witnesses of these things, and behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you, I send the promise of My Father upon you, referring here to Job 2, verse 28, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, and behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you, that carry ye in the city of Jerusalem, carry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. John 14, verse 26, The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, Greek Paliklet, meaning the Helper, the Helper, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you, these are the words which I speak unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Prophets and in the Psalms concerning Me, and beginning at Moses, and all the Prophets, He expounded unto them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Himself, beginning at Moses, in Genesis 3, verse 15, we read that the Lord said unto the Serpent, the Lord said unto the Serpent, that old Serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, Revelation 20, verse 2 says, the Lord said unto the Serpent, I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise thy head, he will crush thy head, Satan, 2,000 years later, when the fullness of the time was come, Galatians 4, verse 4 says, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made of a woman, and for this purpose, for this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil, that He might destroy the works of the Devil, 1 John 3, verse 8, that through death, through death, He might destroy him, through death, He might destroy him, that had the power of death, that is the Devil, Hebrews 2, verse 14, Daniel 9, verse 26, the Messiah shall be cut off, that is, to face the death penalty, He was cut off out of the land of the living, Isaiah 53, verse 8, He was cut off out of the land of the living, the Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself, not for Himself, Daniel wrote, He was wounded for our transgression, He was bruised for our iniquity, this assignment of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed, all we, like sheep, have gone astray, we have turned everyone to His own way, and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all, the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all, verse 10, when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, Leviticus 19, verse 5, if ye offer a sacrifice, if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offering unto the Lord, He shall offer it at your own will, He shall offer it at your own will, He shall offer it at your own voluntary will, Leviticus 1, verse 2 says, but, here is the free will of man, but when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, verse 11, He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied, by His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities, by His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many, being now justified by His blood, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him, Romans 5, verse 9 says, to Him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, His faith is counted to Him for righteousness, Romans 4, verse 5 Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5, verse 1, for by grace are ye saved, by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, this any man should boast, Ephesians 2, verse 8 says, to Him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, His faith is counted to Him for righteousness, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Lord, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God, by faith, Philippians 3, verse 9, for He hath made Him to be sinned, for us, He knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him, 2 Corinthians 5, verse 21, and so tonight we have seen that the 39 books of the Old Testament, the 39 books of the Old Testament are critically linked, critically linked to the 27 books of the New Testament, primarily through the Messianic Prophecy, which is strewn across the pages of the Old Testament, which were fulfilled in and through the life and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was witnessed by His disciples and graphically recorded in the New Testament. But, we dare not stop there, we dare not stop there, for the Old Testament and the New Testament are also critically linked by the law, by the law, for by the law is the knowledge of sin, by the law is the knowledge of sin, Romans 7, verse 20 says, and yes, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, Galatians 3, verse 13, but that does not cancel out that by the law is the knowledge of sin. In Romans 7, verse 7, Paul asks, what shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid, nay, I have not known sin but by the law, for I have not known lust, except the law hath said thou shalt not covet. For where no law is, there is no transgression, Romans 4, verse 15, where no law is, there is no transgression, and yes, the Holy Spirit, when He is come, He will reprove, that is, convict and convince the world of sin. He will convict and convince the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment, Romans 16, verse 8 says, but He uses the law to do that, for it is through the law, it is through the law that the scripture hath concluded all under sin. It is through the law that the scripture hath concluded all under sin. Galatians 3, verse 22, if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. Romans 3, verse 10, For God hath said, God hath said, There is none righteous, no, not one, Romans 3, verse 10, He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28, verse 13. When did you make His soul an offering for sin? When did you come to God with the one thing, nothing in my hands I bring, simply to the cross, unclean, until that moment God won't look at anything you do or pray or say. When did you come to God that He could save you? The only way He stipulated and will never bypass any other way to anyone on earth in history or any other religion in history. When did you come God's way? Now at this point of my sermon, at this point of my sermon, I want us to have a brief review, a brief review of all the vital points we have considered here tonight. I want us to have a brief review of all the vital points we have considered here tonight. Firstly, all scripture is given by inspiration of God. All scripture is given by inspiration of God. Secondly, Christ Jesus died for all men, who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2 verse 4. Who gave Himself a ransom for all. Verse 6. Beloved, He is the propitiation for our sins. And not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2 verse 2 says. The whole world. So firstly, all scripture, every verse without exception. All scripture is given by inspiration of God. Secondly, Christ Jesus died for all men. But thirdly, the scripture has concluded all under sin. The scripture has concluded all under sin. All have sinned. Romans 3 verse 23 says. And finally, God now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Acts 17 verse 30. God now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. That repentance and remission of sins in that order. Always forgiveness after repentance. That repentance and remission of sins should be preached among all nations. Now, this is the first message of the first convention. The first day online convention in the place of our normal tour of America. To still have the right to minister and the privilege of ministering to all the dear friends across that lovely land of Canada. Even though we can't go there at the moment because of the coronavirus. My wife speaking to the ladies, my son and I to everyone on this first day convention. This is the first of six conventions. Two a month and the dates are clearly advertised. I want to beg. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/bymXGLPV0tg.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/keith-daniel/the-inspired-word-of-god/ ========================================================================
