The 3 With outs, gives us the 3 With!
I. The first ‘WITHOUT’ THE BLOOD! Hebrews 9:22 22 And almost all hings are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
1. The first WITH. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
2. Jesus blood shed for our Salvation. On the cross He shed it all for us. The blood of Christ is forever innocent, infinitely precious, perfectly justifying, always cleansing and fully sanctifying.
II. The Second WITHOUT is FAITH. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
1. The Second With faith you can do all things. Why? Because when you came to Christ H gave you faith. Romans 12:3b …….but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
2. We have faith but use it. Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
III. The Third WITHOUT IS without Him. John 15:55 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for WITH OUT ye can do nothing.
1. The Third WITH IS Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
2. Romans 8:31, 37, (KJV) What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
WE ARE DEPENDENT IN WHAT CHRIST HAS PAID FOR OUR SALVATION. WITHOUT HIM WE CAN DO NOTHING!
