JOHN 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free.
Pastor Rick

I. WE CAN
KNOW
1. We Can
Know We are Sinners [Romans 3:19, 7:14]
-Now we know
that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law:
that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before
God.
-For we know
that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
2. We Can
Know the Bible Plan for Us [1 Timothy 1:8]
- But we
know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
3. We Can
Know the Fragility of Our Existence [Romans 8:22]
For we know
that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
II. YOU
CAN KNOW
1. You Can
Know the Saviour [John 14:11-14]
I am the
good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is
an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf
coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and
scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and
careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am
known of mine.
2. You Can
Know You are Saved [1 John 5:13]
These things
have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may
know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son
of God.
3. You Can
Know Why You are Saved and Secure [2 Timothy 1:12, 1 John 5:20]
-For the
which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I
know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which
I have committed unto him against that day.
-And we know
that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may
know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus
Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
III. WE
OUGHT TO KNOW
1. We Ought
to Know to Grow [1 Corinthians 2:12, Philippians 3:10]
-Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we
might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
That I may
know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
2. We Ought
to Know How to Behave [2 Th. 3:7, 1 Tm. 3:15, 1 Cor. 8]
- For
yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves
disorderly among you;
-But if I
tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the
house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of
the truth.
3. We Ought
to Know How to Pray [1 Jn. 5:13-15]
These things
have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may
know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son
of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any
thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us,
whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
