Sunday Morning - July 7, 1996

Text: John 6:35-38 "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he [that the Father giveth me] that cometh [pre.mid.ptc] to me shall never hunger; and he [that the Father giveth me] that believeth [pre.act.ptc] on me shall never thirst.

36. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe [pre.act.ind] not.

37. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh [pre.mid.ptc] to me I will in no wise cast out."

MAY HAVE

John 6:39-40 "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth [pre.act.ptc] on him, may have [pre.act.sub] everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

CHOSEN US IN HIM

5. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children [SONS] by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,"

Romans 8:29-30 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL

THINE THEY WERE

7. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE WORD

8. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

10. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

11. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."

NONE DIED

John 18:8-9 "Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9. That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none."

27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30. I and my Father are one."

MAKE YOUR ELECTION SURE

2 Peter 1:10-11 "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

DO THESE THINGS

6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
