A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

The Unbeliever

THE UNBELIEVERS CALL THEMSELVES BY MANY NAMES. FOR EXAMPLE SOME CALL THEMSELVES ATHEIST, OTHERS CALL THEMSELVES AGNOSTICS, OTHERS SAY THAT THEY ARE SKEPTICS. BUT ALL SAY THAT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD, THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD, THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THE OLD TESTAMENT, NEITHER DO THEY BELIEVE THE NEW TESTAMENT. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN HEAVEN, NEITHER DO THEY BELIEVE IN HELL. LISTEN CAREFULLY SAINTS OF GOD, THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANYTHING THAT THEY CANNOT SEE. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM, NEITHER DO THEY KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING. THE UNBELIEVERS HAVE A HOPELESS RELIGION. THERE ARE IN THIS PRESENT WORLD BOTH THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THE BELIEVERS, AND THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, THE UNBELIEVERS.

Mt:13:24: Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Mt:13:25: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Mt:13:26: But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Mt:13:27: So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

Mt:13:28: He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Mt:13:29: But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Mt:13:30: Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

HOLY CHILDREN, WHEN WAS WHEAT, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, MADE WHEAT, AND WHEN WERE THE TARES, THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, MADE TARES? IN CREATION; IN CREATION GOD CREATED HIS CHILDREN IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE HAVE THE POWER TO BELIEVE WITHOUT SEEING. GOD THE FATHER IN THE BEGINNING CREATED HIS BLESSED CHILD JESUS, THE CHRIST. JESUS WAS THE BEGINNING OF CREATION.

Col:1:15: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (KJV)

WHAT IS A CREATURE? SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED. GOD THE FATHER CREATED JESUS CHRIST, AND GOD, THE FATHER, CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST, WHETHER VISIBLE, OR INVISIBLE.

Eph:3:9: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (KJV)

GOD CREATED US, HIS CHILDREN, IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BELIEVE WITHOUT SEEING. AND WHEN WE HEAR THE GOSPEL PREACHED FAITH COMES INTO OUR HEARTS.

Rom:10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom:10:10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom:10:11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Rom:10:12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

Rom:10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Rom:10:14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Rom:10:15: And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Rom:10:16: But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

Rom:10:17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

WHAT IS FAITH? THE BIBLE GIVES A DEFINITION OF FAITH.

Heb:11:1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (KJV)

IT WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD TO CLIMB MOUNT SINAI WITH MOSES' TO BELIEVE THAT GOD GAVE HIM THE LAW. FOR WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, BELIEVE HIS REPORT. IT WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD TO GO WITH THE APOSTLE PAUL INTO ARABIA, AND SEE THE APOSTLE PAUL RECEIVE HIS EPISTLES, FOR WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, BELIEVE HIS REPORT. WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, BELIEVE THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ARE THE WORD OF GOD. AND THE HOLY SCRIPTURES GIVE US A STANDARD IN WHICH TO BASE OUR LIVES UPON. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ARE THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ARE RULES OF CONDUCT SAT FORTH BY AUTHORITY. WHAT IS AUTHORITY ? AUTHORITY DEFINED IS, ONE THAT HAS THE POWER TO GIVE COMMANDS, DEMAND OBEDIENCE, AND PUNISH THE TRANSGRESSORS. THE BIBLE, IT'S SELF, CONFIRMS THAT THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ARE THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD.

2Tm:3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Tm:3:17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (KJV)

NOT EVERY ONE THAT SAYS LORD, LORD IS A CHILD OF GOD. MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS, ARE IN REALITY UNBELIEVERS. SOME DO NOT BELIEVE THAT JESUS, THAT IS CALLED THE CHRIST, IS THE SON OF GOD. NEITHER DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY IN UNITY. THEY JUST BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, JESUS, AND DENY THAT HE HAS A FATHER. EXCEPT A PERSON BELIEVES IN BOTH GOD, THE FATHER, AND JESUS THE SON, THEY ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN AT ALL, THEY ARE ANTICHRIST.

1Jn:2:22: Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (KJV)

MANY THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS, DO NOT BELIEVE THAT BAPTISM IS A NECESSITY TO SALVATION. EVEN THOUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST PLAINLY STATES THAT EXCEPT A PERSON BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTIZED, AND THE SPIRIT, RECEIVING, THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, THEY CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Jn:3:4: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jn:3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Jn:3:6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

WHAT HAPPENS TO GOD'S ELECT WHEN THEY ARE BAPTIZED? THEIR SINS ARE REMITTED, AND THEY COME INTO THE PROMISE THAT THEY SHALL RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST.

Acts:2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, I BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND THAT IS THROUGH THE WATER. WHEN THE ELECT OF GOD ARE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THEY ARE BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST.

Gal:3:27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (KJV)

WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, THEY BECOME A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

1Cor:12:27: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

WHY SHOULD A PERSON BE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST JESUS? IT IS IN CHRIST JESUS, IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, THAT WE SHALL RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE.

1Jn:5:11: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (KJV)

WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS RIGHTEOUSNESS PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST.

Rom:14:17: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (KJV)

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS THAT DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE ABOVE SIN. BUT WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, ONCE WE HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST ARE ABLE TO LIVE WITHOUT SIN. THIS IS THE WAY THAT YOU CAN TELL THE CHILDREN OF GOD, FROM THE CHILDREN OF SATAN.

1Jn:3:1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

1Jn:3:2: Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

1Jn:3:3: And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1Jn:3:4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1Jn:3:5: And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

1Jn:3:6: Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1Jn:3:7: Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1Jn:3:8: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1Jn:3:9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1Jn:3:10: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, MANY THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS ARE TRUELY UNBELIEVERS. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANY CHANGE THAT COMES OVER THE TWO SPECIES, THE UNLEAVEN BREAD, AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE, WHEN BLESSED IN THE RITUAL OF THE LORD'S SUPPER. EVEN THOUGH JESUS CHRIST AFTER HE HAD BLESSED THE UNLEAVEN BREAD, AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE, SAID THESE WORDS. CONCERNING THE UNLEAVEN BREAD. TAKE EAT THIS IS MY BODY, AND CONCERNING THE FRUIT OF THE VINE HE SAID, DRINK YE ALL OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD.

Mt:26:26: And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Mt:26:27: And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

Mt:26:28: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

LISTEN CAREFULLY, SAINTS OF GOD, EXCEPT A MAN EAT OF THE FLESH OF THE SON OF GOD, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM. JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S DARLING SON SAID THESE WORDS,

Jn:6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. (KJV)

THERE ARE MEN THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS THAT DO NOT BELIEVE IN PREDESTINATION. EVEN THOUGH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES SAY THAT WE, THE SAINTS OF GOD, WERE PREDESTINATED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.

Eph:1:1: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Eph:1:2: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Eph:1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Eph:1:4: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Eph:1:5: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS, ALL WHOM GOD FOREKNEW HE DID PREDESTINATE TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON.

Rom:8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Rom:8:29: 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.

Rom:8:30: Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Rom:8:31: What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Rom:8:32: He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

THE PRICE FOR UNBELIEF IS VERY HIGH. IT IS THE SECOND IN THE LIST OF BURNING OFFENCES.

Rv:21:8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (KJV)

WE, THE PREDESTINATED, ARE PREDESTINATED FOR A CITY WHOSE STREET IS PURE GOLD, A CITY WERE THERE IS NO HOSPITALS, FOR THERE IS NO SICK THERE. A CITY WERE THERE IS NO JAILS, OR PRISONS FOR THERE IS NO WICKED THERE. A CITY WERE THERE IS NO GRAVEYARDS, FOR THERE IS NO DEATH THERE. BUT IT JUST MAY BE THAT THOSE THAT DO NOT BELIEVE IN PREDESTINATION ARE NOT PREDESTINATED. THERE ARE THOSE UNBELIEVERS THAT DO NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD'S CHILDREN SHOULD PLAY ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE CHURCH, EVEN THOUGH GOD INSPIRED THE PSALMIST TO RECORD THESE WORDS.

Ps:150:1: Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

Ps:150:2: Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Ps:150:3: Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

Ps:150:4: Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

Ps:150:5: Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

Ps:150:6: Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. (KJV)

Rv:14:2: And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

Rv:14:3: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne.
