24-0415P_WISDOM VERSUS FAITH

Joh 10:1  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 
Joh 10:2  But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 
Joh 10:3  To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 
Joh 10:4  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 
Joh 10:5  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 
Joh 10:6  This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 
Joh 10:7  Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 
Heb 11:1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

Heb 11:2  For by it the elders obtained a good report. 
Heb 11:3  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 
Heb 11:4  By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 
Heb 11:5  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 
Heb 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. 

BUT THERE'S ONLY TWO SOURCES THAT WE CAN DRAW OUR LIFE FROM. AND ONE OF THEM IS WISDOM, AND THE OTHER IS FAITH.

But there's only two sources that we can draw our life from. And one of them is wisdom, and the other is faith. And if we think what wisdom produces and then what faith produces... But those two sources, we're going back this morning, and pick them up for the Sunday school lesson, and bring them up out of the Bible, and show what they are, and what they are going to do, and what they have done, by the help of the Lord.

*WE FIND OUT THAT GOD WAS THE AUTHOR OF FAITH, TO BELIEVE--FOR THE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE AND TO TRUST HIS WORD; AND SATAN IS THE AUTHOR OF WISDOM…

  14-4    Now, faith and wisdom. Now, to begin with, we'll notice that in Genesis the 1st chapter we find that--that faith was introduced, and wisdom was introduced. And today, them two sources is still introduced to the human race. We find out that God was the Author of faith, to believe--for the people to believe and to trust His Word; and Satan is the author of wisdom, trying to get the people to accept his wisdom and pull them away from the faith that's in God's Word--those two sources.

*NOW, GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF FAITH; SATAN IS THE AUTHOR OF WISDOM. 

WISDOM.VERSUS.FAITH_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-17  SUNDAY_  62-0401

  15-2    Now, God is the Author of faith; Satan is the author of wisdom. For God gave His first children His Word, and told them they must believe This, and put a death separation, punishment, if they failed to believe It. And Satan comes around and tries to offer to Eve wisdom: "You will be wise, knowing right from wrong like God."

Now (See?), to start with, you see right quick that wisdom comes from the devil. That's strange isn't it, but it's truth. Wisdom come from the devil; he is the author of wisdom.

Now, of course anything that the devil has is a perversion of the original. Sin is a perversional--perversion of righteousness. Adultery is a perversion of a--of a legal act. A lie is a perversion of the truth.

*THERE IS A WISDOM OF GOD. A WISDOM OF GOD IS STAY WITH HIS WORD,

WISDOM.VERSUS.FAITH_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-17  SUNDAY_  62-0401

  16-1    And so, the--the wisdom that I want you to get straightened out on 'fore we start... There is a wisdom of God. A wisdom of God is stay with His Word, but Satan in his wisdom tried to twist the Word; so that's the wisdom I'm speaking of.

There's a certain amount of faith that goes with Satan. In order to--to accept Satan you've got to believe Satan. So there is a perverted faith to a perverted thing. And anything that would try to twist the Word of God, to make It say something that It doesn't, is the wrong spirit (See?), offering wisdom against God's wisdom. So we're going to refer to it as wisdom and not Satan's faith.

Many of those people, that believe that, are sincere and believe just with all the faith that they got that they're right. See? You have to watch; the blanket stretches two ways now. But he--they are... The only way to be sure is come back to the original Word. There's where everything is based, on the Word.

AND IF THE FAITH OF GOD CAME THROUGH GOD (AND GOD IS WORD), GOD'S CHILDREN LIVES ON FAITH… THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH," NOT WHAT HE CAN LEARN, BUT WHAT HE CAN BELIEVE.

WISDOM.VERSUS.FAITH_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-17  SUNDAY_  62-0401

  16-4    Now, we find that these two factions--or sources is: one, wisdom and the other one faith. And they've versed one another since creation in the garden of Eden.

Now, there's children on both sides. Now, what is the--the wisdom we're talking about? Something that will not agree that all this Word is the Truth. It's something that will take away from the Truth, expressing itself as a higher knowledge, more wisdom. And if wisdom of that sort come from Satan, his children live by that wisdom. And if the faith of God came through God (and God is Word), God's children lives on faith. The Bible said the just live by wisdom? [Congregation answers. "No!"--Ed.] Faith! "The just shall live by faith," not what he can learn, but what he can believe. All right.
