"Look here, all there is to this thing is the past, the present, and the future. You can’t get outside of that. The past: Jesus completely covers with His blood. Accepts us just as if we’d never sinned the moment we surrender to Him. Is that right? Ok, that takes care of the past. The future: He guarantees to get us ready and take us into Heaven. He guarantees that. That takes care of all the future; all that’s left is the present. What’s that? That’s right now. And what does He do about that? With the past all covered by His precious life, and the future all covered with His promise, He says, “Now you make the effort to do what I tell you, and I’ll help you, and together we’ll walk the road. And so I keep seeking to do it. But suppose I fall? Ok, what’d you do when you were a baby and fell? Get up and go on. Daddy and mother, they didn’t kick you out. They didn’t say, “Well, we wouldn’t have a child around this house that couldn’t walk.” Did they? No, no, no. Why they were right there, and the more we fell, the more interested they were, right? Jesus is where I am. He’s right where my problem is, and I don’t have to worry. My tension isn’t going to keep me from falling; His grace is going to keep me from falling. And if I fall, I’ll arise and go on. So the past is taken care of, the present, the future. What other dimension can you get, friends? That’s the whole thing." W. D. Frazee, Sermon #1025
