Have you heard?
July 24, 2023
“When the Queen of Sheba heard….” That’s all. She heard. May I say to you that that’s all God asks any person to do—is to hear and then believe. You see, “Faith cometh by hearing; hearing by the Word of God.” The gospel is something that you have to hear. And then you have to make your decision of whether you believe God or not. “When the Queen of Sheba heard.” That’s all. She heard and she acted on what she heard. And, my friend, that’s the place where God will meet you, and that’s the only place He’ll meet you. You have to hear.

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.

As I came today to this study, I’m as helpless as anyone out yonder listening to this broadcast who has just accepted Christ as your Savior. The same Spirit of God that I believe is leading me and teaching me, He can teach you! And He’s brought you, if you are His child, He’s brought you into the position of a full-grown son, into the adoption. And my friend, there’s nothing quite as a wonderful as that. May I say to you, to know today that the Spirit of God will lead you and guide you into all truth, if you just want to know it, if you’re willing for Him to be your teacher.

And I believe that before God, He sees our hearts. He knows whether we’ve trusted Christ or not. And friends, He knows whether you’re genuine or not. And for that reason, I like to say to church members today, “Then why don’t you be genuine?” He knows whether you are or not. You can fool the people in the church. You can fool your neighbors. You can put up a pious front. But why not be real and have a lot of fun in it all? And you don’t have to put on. You can be real and trust Christ as your Savior. And that is the thing that’s so important. And that will produce works—a living, dynamic faith will do that.

The man without God today, without Christ as his Savior, he can’t stand in his own merit before God. If I may make this as simple as I know how to make it: You and I today are sinners. “All have sinned….” And you and I can’t remove our sin. There’s nothing we can do that will remove it. But this morning there are two places for your sin. He bore our sin upon the cross. He was made sin for us. And this morning either your sin is on Christ, and you will never have to come into judgment; or your sin is on you, and you have to be judged.

And I’m going to say something now that’s rather startling, and it will be to some folk, I know. But I want you to think for just a few minutes about something that’s very important at this hour. I think all-important. The primary business of the believer is not soul winning. You know what our business is today, primarily, is to give out the Word of God. And God says if we will get in the business of getting His Word out, He’ll see to it that it will accomplish His purpose.

When we’re talking about commandments, some people will settle for the Ten Commandments. God’s brought the believer way up above those. The Lord Jesus has given certain commandments to those that are His own, and that’s what we’re talking about. He’s talking about loving one another, believers. He’s talking about rejoicing in the Lord. And He’s given us these for our guidance. He’s given them to us for our discipline, if you please. And for the child of God, even under grace today, he doesn’t do as he pleases; he does as Christ pleases. We’re today under Him, not under a law. You know what our business is today, primarily? Is to give out the Word of God.

God’s man, “his delight is in the law of the Lord.” And “his delight” means that he finds joy—this Book today is a real delight to read and study. That actually the Word of God is a thrilling book. It’s not a burden. It’s not boring. May I say to you that “his delight is in the law of the Lord.” And, the tragedy that’s come to man—the tear, the sigh, the groaning, the heartache, the heartbreak, the broken homes, the ruined and wrecked lives today—are all, can be explained on this basis: They’re the result of God’s broken law.
July 14, 2023
“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Now the whole thought, I think, is just simply this: That if there’d been any other way to save sinners, then God would have used that method. He would have adopted that method. If a law could’ve been given, or a religion could’ve been given to save sinners, God would have done that. This was the only way that an infinite God could save you and me. And He was willing to make the supreme sacrifice.

He says, “The Son of God who loved me and He gave Himself for me.” He loved me but He just couldn’t love me into heaven. He had to give Himself for me. And the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. And you can only receive a gift by faith. Any gift, for that matter. You’ve got to believe the giver who holds the gift out to you means business and is telling the truth when he holds it out and says, “It’s yours.” And you have to reach out in faith to take it. You don’t know—he may, you know, take it back in a hurry. But you have to have confidence. Now God offers you the gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Now friends we come back here to the second chapter of Galatians and we left off at verse nineteen. Paul says, “For I through law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.” He says, “When Christ died, He died for me, died in my stead, because the Law had condemned me.” Therefore, the Law could not do for me what Christ has done for me. He not only took my place and died for me, but He also did something else. He was able to give me life. He came back from the dead. Only Christ can give you life. And after all, life is what we need today.

My friend, you got the whole ball of wax when you came to Christ. He’s given you everything that you’ll need in this life. And it’s to Christ that we come. He is the One today that administers all the gifts, if you please. Now the Holy Spirit is the One that gives them, but only He’s working down here under the supervision of the second person of the Godhead. The Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the church. My friend, today, we’ve got everything in Him. He is all in all. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He’s the "amen." And when you say "amen," you’re through, my friend. Amen!

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.
