God is available
June 2, 2023
Whoever you are, wherever you are, however you are right now, if you mean business with God, you can get right into His presence if you want to. There are a lot of folks who are stiff-arming God today, and that’s one reason that they go through a ritual in a church—actually, to get away from God. And that’s the best way to get away from Him that I know of. But you can come directly and immediately into His presence right now. One of the great doctrines that the Reformation brought back to us was the priesthood of believers—that is, that you have access to God, Christian friend, today. And if you’re unsaved, He invites you to come to Him for salvation. God is available, and we have access we’re told to Him today.

Galatians Bible Companion
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

What a glorious, wonderful psalm this is here: “I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee." This is not just for the Sabbath Day or for Sunday, but this is for “every day will I bless thee.” What a wonderful thing this is. There are days when we don’t feel like blessing Him. And we sometimes can sing unto Him. We praise Him for all that’s past, trust Him for all that is to come. Well, we can trust Him for all that’s past, and we can praise Him for all that is to come.

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised with our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace is upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” The answer for America today and to you and to me is a return to the Word of God and the hero of this book. The One that it presents—it’s a “Him” book. It’s all about H-I-M Him. Job says, “That I might find Him.” And Philip said, “We have found Him.” Have you found Him? He is the answer to your problems and my problems.

“And the Word was made flesh, and pitched His tent here among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” To know this book is to know Him, the Word of God who came 1900 years ago, not only to reveal God, but to redeem man. And He died on a cross to pay the penalty of your sin and mine. Put in a tomb, but the grave could not hold Him. He burst the bands asunder, and He came up in mighty power. And God today is speaking to the world through that person in this book. It’s God’s Word.

God is faithful, oh, He’s faithful. "By whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." Oh, I want to enjoy. Life and death. Oh, death is ours. But we have One that got the victory over death. And isn't this wonderful? "Things present"—that's things of time. "Things to come"—out yonder in the future. All things are yours. "We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." May I say to you, up yonder in glory today is a living Christ. I hope you have Christ. He’s yours, and He’s mine. And the world's. In eternity. My Father’s a King, my friend.

These are great days to live for God. He’s asked me to live for Him, asked me to get the Word out, and I’m trying to do that. And with your help and by His grace, we're going to do it. And He says, "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things." How are you going to be worthy? I can’t be worthy. The only thing that will make me worthy is Christ. And, therefore, if I trust Him, and I’ve committed my way to Him, and I’m looking for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that’s the way I’m going to go out with the Rapture is by the grace of God.

"Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares." Don’t let down your guard today, friends. Don’t give up. These are great days to live for God. That’s what we’re called to do. I’m not called upon to reform the world or change the world. That’s God’s business. That’s not my business. He’s asked me to live for Him, asked me to get the Word out, and I’m trying to do that. But the thing is this is very comfortable to know that you’re in the will of God. That’s the important thing.

"When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Are these things beginning to come to pass? I’m not in a position to know. I have no inside information. There’s some men today that seem to have all this information, but I don’t have it. And all I can say is that my salvation and my redemption is nearer than when I first believed. And I know He’s coming. That’s the thing that’s all important to me. He’s going to take His church out of the world.

He said, "Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them." It’s been true ever since He was here. There were false Messiahs in His day. There are those that today claim supernatural power. They actually are moving into the place of Christ. They draw attention to themselves rather than to the Lord. Now, they talk a great deal about Jesus today. I know you hear all of that, and it’s saccharine sweet, but actually it does not glorify Him one wit because it’s taking away the glory from Him.

You know, you can become so religious and callous that you can exclude Jesus from your life. You may be an expert in argument and resting on the haunches of your smug complacency, but the question is: Have you ever let Christ into your heart? And there’s no substitute for that. Are you filled with doubts? Puzzles? Trouble? Are you bent double today with the burdens of life? Then come to Jesus. Come with your burdens; come with your sin. Come anytime. It doesn’t make any difference; you can come to Him. What a wonderful lesson there is here.

Because you are a Christian, you have no inoculation that you won’t have trouble. That’s a viewpoint a great many get today, that a Christian is one that’s going to miss all of the trouble down here. My friend, you’ll miss the Great Tribulation, but the way I like to put it, you won’t miss the little tribulation. You're going to have a little of it right down here. And then, there’s something else here. When you see trouble coming to someone else and not to you, don’t get the idea that probably you’re superior to that individual. But the lesson for you is that maybe God has permitted you to see this trouble in order that it might bring you to God.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
