- You know what i love most about these journeys?
- 00:00:06.863 --> 00:00:09.099
- It's not just the destinations,
- 00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:11.301
- It's about the people you experience the destinations with.
- 00:00:11.301 --> 00:00:15.238
- There's something powerful that happens
- 00:00:15.238 --> 00:00:17.140
- When like-minded believers gather together,
- 00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:19.943
- Open god's word,
- 00:00:19.943 --> 00:00:21.077
- And then explore the very world
- 00:00:21.077 --> 00:00:23.346
- Where that word was first proclaimed.
- 00:00:23.346 --> 00:00:25.882
- Nine nights aboard the beautiful celebrity infinity.

- Every meal prepared, every detail taken care of,
- 00:00:28.852 --> 00:00:32.522
- So all you have to do is be present.
- 00:00:32.522 --> 00:00:34.858
- Casual conversations over coffee,
- 00:00:34.858 --> 00:00:37.227
- Fellowship around the table
- 00:00:37.227 --> 00:00:38.795

- With dr. robert jeffress.
- 00:01:11.394 --> 00:01:14.130
- Hi, i am robert jeffress
- 00:01:14.631 --> 00:01:15.965
- And welcome again to "pathway to victory."
- 00:01:15.965 --> 00:01:19.202
- Personal problems can produce two very different outcomes.
- 00:01:19.202 --> 00:01:22.972
- Problems can strengthen our relationship with god
- 00:01:22.972 --> 00:01:25.975
- Or problems can destroy our faith in god.
- 00:01:25.975 --> 00:01:29.946
- The difference comes down to one single word
- 00:01:29.946 --> 00:01:32.982
- And that word is faith.
- 00:01:32.982 --> 00:01:35.151
- Well, today we'll admire several people
- 00:01:35.151 --> 00:01:37.320
- Who courageously face their problems
- 00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:39.789
- By placing their complete faith in god.

- And remember god said to them,
- 00:05:36.893 --> 00:05:38.694
- "i want you to bring a sacrifice to me."
- 00:05:38.694 --> 00:05:41.330
- And he prescribed the kind of sacrifice he wanted,
- 00:05:41.330 --> 00:05:45.134
- And abel brought a sacrifice.
- 00:05:45.134 --> 00:05:48.905
- He was a shepherd and so he brought one of his animals
- 00:05:48.905 --> 00:05:53.009
- And offered a blood sacrifice to god.
- 00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:56.479
- Cain decided that he would try to offer
- 00:05:56.479 --> 00:05:58.981
- His own sacrifice to god
- 00:05:58.981 --> 00:06:00.450
- And he brought some of the produce that he had raised
- 00:06:00.450 --> 00:06:04.487
- And the bible says that god accepted abel's offering,
- 00:06:04.487 --> 00:06:07.723
- But he rejected cain's offering.
- 00:06:07.723 --> 00:06:10.159
- And cain was so despondent over the fact
- 00:06:10.159 --> 00:06:12.495
- That god rejected him,
- 00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:14.464
- That he became enraged at his brother abel
- 00:06:14.464 --> 00:06:17.633
- And killed him, the first murder in the bible.
- 00:06:17.633 --> 00:06:20.970
- Why is it that god accepted abel's sacrifice
- 00:06:20.970 --> 00:06:25.174
- But rejected cain's offering?
- 00:06:25.174 --> 00:06:28.811
- I've heard pastors speculate about that.
- 00:06:28.811 --> 00:06:30.880
- I've read bible commentators who said,
- 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:32.782
- "well, it was in their attitude.
- 00:06:32.782 --> 00:06:35.384
- Abel brought his sacrifice as an act of love,
- 00:06:35.384 --> 00:06:40.122
- But cain brought his to satisfy a religious ritual,
- 00:06:40.122 --> 00:06:45.094
- And it was their attitude that made the difference."
- 00:06:45.094 --> 00:06:48.097
- That sounds so good, but it's so wrong.
- 00:06:48.097 --> 00:06:50.533
- I mean, the fact is the bible tells us exactly
- 00:06:50.533 --> 00:06:53.536
- Why god accepted abel's sacrifice and rejected cain.
- 00:06:53.536 --> 00:06:56.939
- Look at verse four.
- 00:06:56.939 --> 00:06:58.541
- By faith, abel offered to god a better sacrifice than cain.
- 00:06:58.541 --> 00:07:04.413
- Apparently, in words we don't have recorded,
- 00:07:05.314 --> 00:07:07.717
- God told both men exactly what he wanted.
- 00:07:07.717 --> 00:07:11.654
- He prescribed a blood sacrifice, a blood offering
- 00:07:11.654 --> 00:07:15.358
- Of an innocent animal
- 00:07:15.358 --> 00:07:16.759
- That would foretell the coming many years later
- 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.196
- Of the lamb of god, jesus christ,
- 00:07:20.196 --> 00:07:22.131
- Who would take away the sins of the world.
- 00:07:22.131 --> 00:07:24.534
- And abel, although he didn't understand why god said that,
- 00:07:24.534 --> 00:07:28.337
- He couldn't see
- 00:07:28.337 --> 00:07:29.605
- Down the corridor of history to jesus christ,
- 00:07:29.605 --> 00:07:31.741
- It made no sense to him to kill an innocent and good animal.
- 00:07:31.741 --> 00:07:35.745
- He obeyed god.
- 00:07:35.745 --> 00:07:37.713
- He believed what god said and acted accordingly.
- 00:07:37.713 --> 00:07:41.484
- But not cain.
- 00:07:41.484 --> 00:07:43.019
- He thought he could come to god any anyway he wanted to.
- 00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:46.522
- In fact, did you know in the new testament, jude verse 11,
- 00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:50.459
- The writer says, "avoid the way of cain."
- 00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:55.765
- You know what the way of cain is?
- 00:07:56.499 --> 00:07:57.900
- It's trying to come to god on your own terms.
- 00:07:57.900 --> 00:08:00.570
- And the world today is filled with people
- 00:08:00.570 --> 00:08:02.405
- Who say they can come to god anyway they want to.
- 00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:05.241
- Doesn't matter what you believe,
- 00:08:05.241 --> 00:08:07.343
- It's like you can approach god any way you want to
- 00:08:07.343 --> 00:08:09.912
- From any direction
- 00:08:09.912 --> 00:08:11.247
- And still go up the same mountain of truth
- 00:08:11.247 --> 00:08:13.749
- And approach the same god.
- 00:08:13.749 --> 00:08:15.484
- God says, "no, you cannot come to me any way you choose.
- 00:08:15.484 --> 00:08:19.855
- You must come in my way."
- 00:08:19.855 --> 00:08:21.857
- And for us today, it means believing in jesus christ
- 00:08:21.857 --> 00:08:25.061
- To be our savior.
- 00:08:25.061 --> 00:08:26.462
- Jesus said in john 14:6, "i am the way,
- 00:08:26.462 --> 00:08:29.732
- The truth and the life.
- 00:08:29.732 --> 00:08:31.033
- No man comes to the father except by me."
- 00:08:31.033 --> 00:08:34.904
- The way to god is not broad. it is narrow.
- 00:08:34.904 --> 00:08:38.774
- There is one way,
- 00:08:38.774 --> 00:08:40.242
- And that's what abel and cain illustrate to us.
- 00:08:40.242 --> 00:08:42.812
- It was by faith that abel offered a better sacrifice.
- 00:08:42.812 --> 00:08:48.084
- Let me stop here and just say,
- 00:08:48.718 --> 00:08:50.653
- I have people ask me all the time, "well, pastor,
- 00:08:50.653 --> 00:08:52.989
- How could abel be saved?
- 00:08:52.989 --> 00:08:54.890
- How could anybody be saved
- 00:08:54.890 --> 00:08:57.893
- Before jesus christ gave his life on the cross for us?"
- 00:08:57.893 --> 00:09:02.431
- Have you ever wondered that?
- 00:09:02.431 --> 00:09:03.566
- How were the old testament saints saved?
- 00:09:03.566 --> 00:09:05.735
- I've heard people say, "well, in the old testament,
- 00:09:05.735 --> 00:09:08.270
- People were saved by works,
- 00:09:08.270 --> 00:09:09.805
- But in the new testament they're saved by christ."
- 00:09:09.805 --> 00:09:12.241
- Have you heard that before?
- 00:09:12.241 --> 00:09:14.443
- No, god hasn't changed.
- 00:09:14.443 --> 00:09:16.345
- Since the beginning of time,
- 00:09:16.345 --> 00:09:18.080
- We've all been saved in the same way.
- 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.851
- In fact, i was studying this passage yesterday morning,
- 00:09:21.851 --> 00:09:24.387
- Just going over it and trying to think,
- 00:09:24.387 --> 00:09:26.055
- "how can i best illustrate this?"
- 00:09:26.055 --> 00:09:28.658
- And this little phrase came to me,
- 00:09:28.658 --> 00:09:31.193
- And i want you to write it down.
- 00:09:31.193 --> 00:09:32.495
- If you ever wonder how it is we are saved,
- 00:09:32.495 --> 00:09:35.364
- I want you to write this down:
- 00:09:35.364 --> 00:09:36.999
- Our forgiveness, because that's what salvation is,
- 00:09:36.999 --> 00:09:39.535
- It's the forgiveness of our sins,
- 00:09:39.535 --> 00:09:41.737
- Our forgiveness is,
- 00:09:41.737 --> 00:09:45.241
- And then underneath it write these three things,
- 00:09:46.208 --> 00:09:47.843
- Number one, based on god's grace.
- 00:09:47.843 --> 00:09:51.580
- It's based on god's grace.
- 00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:54.784
- Secondly, it's paid for by christ's blood.
- 00:09:54.784 --> 00:10:00.122
- And thirdly, it is received through our faith.
- 00:10:01.090 --> 00:10:06.128
- Our forgiveness and anybody's forgiveness in history
- 00:10:07.163 --> 00:10:10.800
- Is based on god's grace.
- 00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:13.736
- It is paid for by christ's blood
- 00:10:13.736 --> 00:10:16.872
- And it is received through our faith.
- 00:10:16.872 --> 00:10:19.975
- Remember ephesians 2:8-9,
- 00:10:20.543 --> 00:10:23.412
- For by grace you have been saved through faith
- 00:10:23.412 --> 00:10:27.783
- And that not of yourselves, it is the gift of god,
- 00:10:27.783 --> 00:10:30.686
- Not as a result of works so that no man,
- 00:10:30.686 --> 00:10:34.590
- No person may boast.
- 00:10:34.590 --> 00:10:37.426
- All of us are saved by god's grace, never by works.
- 00:10:38.461 --> 00:10:41.597
- It's always been by god's grace. that's what he says.
- 00:10:41.597 --> 00:10:44.934
- He doesn't say "for by faith you have been saved."
- 00:10:44.934 --> 00:10:47.670
- He says, "by grace you have been saved."
- 00:10:47.670 --> 00:10:51.607
- We are saved by god's grace.
- 00:10:51.607 --> 00:10:55.745
- We receive that grace through our faith.
- 00:10:55.745 --> 00:10:59.348
- Grace through faith.
- 00:10:59.348 --> 00:11:02.384
- Let me illustrate the difference for you this way.
- 00:11:02.384 --> 00:11:04.320
- Let's imagine you're walking downtown,
- 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.789
- See a crowd gathered together
- 00:11:06.789 --> 00:11:08.557
- Underneath a building by a building,
- 00:11:08.557 --> 00:11:11.193
- Fire trucks are there,
- 00:11:11.193 --> 00:11:12.828
- Everybody's pointing up to the same direction.
- 00:11:12.828 --> 00:11:15.231
- They're pointing up to the sixth floor ledge
- 00:11:15.231 --> 00:11:17.867
- Where somebody is standing out on the ledge
- 00:11:17.867 --> 00:11:19.802
- Of a burning building.
- 00:11:19.802 --> 00:11:21.570
- The firemen are below with a safety net
- 00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:24.240
- And they're urging the person up there
- 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.075
- On that sixth floor ledge to jump
- 00:11:26.075 --> 00:11:28.477
- Before he's destroyed by the fire.
- 00:11:28.477 --> 00:11:30.880
- And so that man is trying to decide,
- 00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:32.681
- "am i going to jump into that net or not?"
- 00:11:32.681 --> 00:11:35.251
- Finally, he, in a leap of faith, takes a leap of faith
- 00:11:35.251 --> 00:11:39.121
- And he jumps from that building.
- 00:11:39.121 --> 00:11:40.823
- He lands safely in the net and he is saved.
- 00:11:40.823 --> 00:11:45.194
- Now, if you witnessed that
- 00:11:45.194 --> 00:11:46.762
- And somebody were to ask you, "how is that man saved?",
- 00:11:46.762 --> 00:11:49.565
- Would you say he was saved because he jumped?
- 00:11:49.565 --> 00:11:51.901
- Was he saved through his jumping?
- 00:11:51.901 --> 00:11:54.537
- No, there've been people
- 00:11:54.537 --> 00:11:55.704
- Who have jumped from buildings before
- 00:11:55.704 --> 00:11:57.106
- And ended up splattering on the concrete below.
- 00:11:57.106 --> 00:12:01.076
- Jumping isn't what saves you.
- 00:12:01.076 --> 00:12:03.946
- That man was saved by the net the fireman had provided.
- 00:12:03.946 --> 00:12:08.517
- But as long as that man was standing on the ledge,
- 00:12:08.517 --> 00:12:11.153
- That net did him no good.
- 00:12:11.153 --> 00:12:13.455
- The fireman offered him a provision for salvation.
- 00:12:13.455 --> 00:12:16.492
- But the way he took advantage of that provision
- 00:12:16.492 --> 00:12:19.695
- Was by faith,
- 00:12:19.695 --> 00:12:21.163
- Believing that that net would hold him.
- 00:12:21.163 --> 00:12:24.166
- He was saved by the net
- 00:12:24.166 --> 00:12:27.403
- That he accessed through jumping.
- 00:12:27.403 --> 00:12:30.139
- It's the same way for us. it's not faith that saves us.
- 00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:34.210
- We cannot conjure up enough faith to save us.
- 00:12:34.210 --> 00:12:38.080
- Faith demands an object.
- 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.982
- It's believing that jesus christ died for our sins.
- 00:12:39.982 --> 00:12:44.620
- And when we trust in what jesus did,
- 00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:47.823
- We are saved by god's grace,
- 00:12:47.823 --> 00:12:51.393
- Which is paid for by christ's blood
- 00:12:51.393 --> 00:12:54.029
- And received through our faith.
- 00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:57.633
- And that's what abel did. abel believed what god said.
- 00:12:57.633 --> 00:13:02.071
- He was saved by god's grace,
- 00:13:02.071 --> 00:13:05.140
- Which he received through his faith,
- 00:13:05.140 --> 00:13:08.377
- Which was ultimately paid for
- 00:13:08.377 --> 00:13:10.779
- By christ's death on the cross.
- 00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:13.816
- When people say,
- 00:13:13.816 --> 00:13:15.251
- "yeah, but that happened before christ paid the debt."
- 00:13:15.251 --> 00:13:16.685
- I tell people, abel was saved on credit. (chuckles)
- 00:13:16.685 --> 00:13:20.389
- His faith was on credit as was all of the old testament.
- 00:13:20.389 --> 00:13:23.459
- God isn't bound by time like you and i are.
- 00:13:23.459 --> 00:13:26.662
- We see past, present, future.
- 00:13:26.662 --> 00:13:28.564
- In god's mind, it had already happened.
- 00:13:28.564 --> 00:13:30.332
- The death of christ, he was saved on credit,
- 00:13:30.332 --> 00:13:33.836
- But it was all by god's grace.
- 00:13:33.836 --> 00:13:36.071
- That was abel. he demonstrates a faith that saves.
- 00:13:36.071 --> 00:13:40.843
- But you know what?
- 00:13:40.843 --> 00:13:42.211
- Faith is not only necessary for our salvation,
- 00:13:42.211 --> 00:13:43.846
- But also for our sanctification,
- 00:13:43.846 --> 00:13:46.215
- For our becoming more like christ.
- 00:13:46.215 --> 00:13:49.351
- Look at verse five.
- 00:13:49.351 --> 00:13:50.653
- That's demonstrated in the life of enoch.
- 00:13:50.653 --> 00:13:53.188
- By faith, enoch was taken up so that he would not see death
- 00:13:53.188 --> 00:13:58.027
- And he was not found
- 00:13:58.027 --> 00:13:59.361
- Because god took him up for he obtained the witness
- 00:13:59.361 --> 00:14:01.931
- That before his being taken up, he was pleasing to god.
- 00:14:01.931 --> 00:14:06.502
- Underline that word pleasing.
- 00:14:06.502 --> 00:14:08.570
- We find the story of enoch
- 00:14:08.570 --> 00:14:10.606
- In genesis 5:21-24.
- 00:14:10.606 --> 00:14:14.643
- The bible says enoch lived 65 years
- 00:14:14.643 --> 00:14:17.513
- And became the father of methuselah.
- 00:14:17.513 --> 00:14:19.481
- Remember methuselah, the oldest man in the bible,
- 00:14:19.481 --> 00:14:22.151
- Lived to be 969.
- 00:14:22.151 --> 00:14:23.919
- Well, enoch was his father.
- 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.155
- Enoch lived 65 years,
- 00:14:26.155 --> 00:14:28.057
- And then he and his wife gave birth to methuselah.
- 00:14:28.057 --> 00:14:31.794
- And then enoch walked with god 300 more years,
- 00:14:31.794 --> 00:14:35.698
- After he became the father of methuselah.
- 00:14:35.698 --> 00:14:39.301
- Isn't that interesting?
- 00:14:39.301 --> 00:14:40.703
- Enoch is known as a person that walked with god.
- 00:14:40.703 --> 00:14:43.038
- Even though he spent the first 65 years of his life
- 00:14:43.038 --> 00:14:46.475
- Living apart from god, he made a change in his life,
- 00:14:46.475 --> 00:14:50.179
- Perhaps it was the birth of his son that made him realize,
- 00:14:50.179 --> 00:14:54.416
- "i need to start walking with god.
- 00:14:54.416 --> 00:14:56.685
- I need to be an example to my child."
- 00:14:56.685 --> 00:14:59.688
- I see that all the time.
- 00:14:59.688 --> 00:15:01.323
- Maybe young adults have wandered away from god,
- 00:15:01.323 --> 00:15:04.460
- But when they have that first child,
- 00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:06.795
- They see how important it is to be back in church
- 00:15:06.795 --> 00:15:09.865
- And be rearing their children to know christ.
- 00:15:09.865 --> 00:15:13.335
- That was enoch. he wasted the first 65 years of his life.
- 00:15:13.335 --> 00:15:18.040
- But isn't it good to know,
- 00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:20.309
- It's not how you start in life,
- 00:15:20.309 --> 00:15:22.044
- It's how you finish that counts.
- 00:15:22.044 --> 00:15:24.346
- Maybe you're living in the far country away from god,
- 00:15:25.414 --> 00:15:28.283
- Or maybe you've just recently come back to god.
- 00:15:29.251 --> 00:15:30.986
- God doesn't care about your past.
- 00:15:30.986 --> 00:15:32.388
- He cares about your future.
- 00:15:32.388 --> 00:15:34.156
- Not the direction you've been,
- 00:15:34.156 --> 00:15:35.557
- But the direction you're going in.
- 00:15:35.557 --> 00:15:37.192
- That's what makes a difference to god.
- 00:15:37.192 --> 00:15:39.461
- Enoch spent the rest of his life serving god.
- 00:15:39.461 --> 00:15:42.998
- So all the days of enoch were 365 years.
- 00:15:42.998 --> 00:15:45.968
- Now look at this, verse 24, enoch walked with god
- 00:15:45.968 --> 00:15:50.005
- And he was not for god took him.
- 00:15:50.005 --> 00:15:52.541
- Every other person in genesis 5, it says,
- 00:15:53.442 --> 00:15:55.077
- "and he died," "and he died," "and he died," "and he died."
- 00:15:55.077 --> 00:15:58.414
- Not enoch.
- 00:15:58.414 --> 00:15:59.681
- No, god just took him. he raptured him.
- 00:15:59.681 --> 00:16:02.718
- Enoch is a picture, a type of a group of christians
- 00:16:02.718 --> 00:16:06.121
- In some future age, maybe this one, maybe another one,
- 00:16:06.121 --> 00:16:09.191
- In which they won't experience death.
- 00:16:09.191 --> 00:16:11.026
- God will just rapture them, harpazo them
- 00:16:11.026 --> 00:16:13.762
- To catch them up to meet him in the air.
- 00:16:13.762 --> 00:16:17.332
- Why did god do that with enoch?
- 00:16:17.332 --> 00:16:19.201
- It's because he walked with god.
- 00:16:19.201 --> 00:16:22.671
- That doesn't mean he and god took a stroll
- 00:16:22.671 --> 00:16:24.640
- On sunday afternoons together.
- 00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:26.975
- To walk with god means to please god.
- 00:16:26.975 --> 00:16:29.244
- In fact, that's what the bible says.
- 00:16:29.244 --> 00:16:32.448
- He was pleasing to god. hebrews 11:5.
- 00:16:32.448 --> 00:16:35.784
- He wanted to please god with all of his life
- 00:16:35.784 --> 00:16:40.556
- And what gave him that desire to please god?
- 00:16:40.556 --> 00:16:43.492
- It was faith.
- 00:16:43.492 --> 00:16:45.060
- You see the relationship
- 00:16:45.561 --> 00:16:47.196
- To faith in pleasing god beginning in verses six and seven.
- 00:16:47.196 --> 00:16:51.500
- Look at this verse six.
- 00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:53.035
- And without faith, it is impossible to please god.
- 00:16:53.035 --> 00:16:57.005
- Stay with me on this. this is so important.
- 00:16:57.005 --> 00:17:00.509
- Without faith, you cannot please god.
- 00:17:00.509 --> 00:17:03.078
- You cannot walk with god.
- 00:17:03.078 --> 00:17:04.713
- You cannot obey god without faith.
- 00:17:04.713 --> 00:17:09.084
- Now, i want to tell you the way i used to hear people
- 00:17:09.084 --> 00:17:10.919
- Preach this passage and teach it.
- 00:17:10.919 --> 00:17:12.855
- I used to hear people say, "now you can read your bible,
- 00:17:12.855 --> 00:17:15.124
- Tithe, and go to church, but if you do it without faith,
- 00:17:15.124 --> 00:17:18.427
- It's not pleasing to god."
- 00:17:18.427 --> 00:17:20.329
- You can stay sexually, morally pure,
- 00:17:20.329 --> 00:17:23.899
- But if you stay sexually, morally pure without faith,
- 00:17:23.899 --> 00:17:28.270
- God doesn't care.
- 00:17:28.270 --> 00:17:29.238
- It doesn't count for anything.
- 00:17:29.238 --> 00:17:31.240
- You can witness to other people.
- 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.075
- You can share your faith with other people,
- 00:17:33.075 --> 00:17:34.776
- But if you do it without faith,
- 00:17:34.776 --> 00:17:37.212
- That's worthless in god's sight.
- 00:17:37.212 --> 00:17:39.481
- And when i heard people say that, i always say,
- 00:17:39.481 --> 00:17:41.950
- "well, how do you read your bible and tithe
- 00:17:41.950 --> 00:17:44.052
- And go to church without faith?
- 00:17:44.052 --> 00:17:45.888
- What does it mean to read your bible without faith?"
- 00:17:45.888 --> 00:17:48.657
- I don't get it. that's not what this passage is saying.
- 00:17:48.657 --> 00:17:52.427
- The word faith
- 00:17:52.427 --> 00:17:54.763
- And please god is a synonym for obey.
- 00:17:54.763 --> 00:17:59.067
- He's saying, without faith, it is impossible to obey god.
- 00:17:59.067 --> 00:18:04.373
- In other words, you'll never consistently read your bible,
- 00:18:05.541 --> 00:18:07.976
- Tithe, and go to church,
- 00:18:07.976 --> 00:18:09.645
- You'll never consistently stay morally, sexually pure.
- 00:18:09.645 --> 00:18:13.415
- You will never consistently share your faith
- 00:18:13.415 --> 00:18:16.051
- With other people without faith.
- 00:18:16.051 --> 00:18:18.921
- Without faith, you just won't do it.
- 00:18:18.921 --> 00:18:21.557
- Dietrich bonhoeffer said one time,
- 00:18:21.557 --> 00:18:23.292
- "only those who believe are obedient
- 00:18:23.292 --> 00:18:27.362
- And only those who are obedient truly believe."
- 00:18:27.362 --> 00:18:30.799
- You'll never be obedient to god without faith.
- 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.435
- That's what he's saying.
- 00:18:33.435 --> 00:18:34.836
- Without faith, you can never continually please god.
- 00:18:34.836 --> 00:18:38.073
- For the person who comes to god, look at this,
- 00:18:38.073 --> 00:18:40.809
- Must believe two things: that he is
- 00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:44.580
- And that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
- 00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:48.217
- You'll never live a life that pleases god until,
- 00:18:48.217 --> 00:18:51.587
- A, you're convinced that god exists.
- 00:18:51.587 --> 00:18:53.989
- That's kind of a no brainer, isn't it?
- 00:18:53.989 --> 00:18:56.258
- But secondly, you also have to be convinced
- 00:18:56.258 --> 00:18:58.827
- That he rewards those who diligently follow after him.
- 00:18:58.827 --> 00:19:04.566
- You know, epicurus was a philosopher, greek philosopher
- 00:19:05.634 --> 00:19:09.238
- Who lived before jesus,
- 00:19:09.238 --> 00:19:10.572
- And he developed this idea
- 00:19:10.572 --> 00:19:12.407
- That our chief goal in life should be pleasure.
- 00:19:12.407 --> 00:19:16.144
- And people today criticize that
- 00:19:16.778 --> 00:19:18.747
- And say, "oh, that's hedonism, eat, drink and be merry
- 00:19:18.747 --> 00:19:21.416
- Because tomorrow we die," and they discount it.
- 00:19:21.416 --> 00:19:23.452
- But that's not really what epicurious was saying.
- 00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:26.188
- I read one commentator this week who pointed out
- 00:19:26.188 --> 00:19:28.390
- What he was saying was, "you ought to decide what you do
- 00:19:28.390 --> 00:19:31.827
- By that which will give you
- 00:19:31.827 --> 00:19:33.595
- The most long-term satisfaction."
- 00:19:33.595 --> 00:19:37.232
- And actually, that's a good test.
- 00:19:37.232 --> 00:19:39.601
- What is it that will provide
- 00:19:39.601 --> 00:19:41.169
- The most long-term satisfaction?
- 00:19:41.169 --> 00:19:45.107
- And its obedience to god.
- 00:19:45.107 --> 00:19:47.976
- You see, you will never consistently walk with god,
- 00:19:47.976 --> 00:19:51.146
- Obey god, until you're convinced
- 00:19:51.146 --> 00:19:53.915
- It's in your best interest to do so,
- 00:19:53.915 --> 00:19:57.119
- Until you're absolutely convinced that god will reward you.
- 00:19:58.320 --> 00:20:02.557
- Maybe not in the short term,
- 00:20:02.557 --> 00:20:04.760
- But in the long term for your obedience to him.
- 00:20:04.760 --> 00:20:08.096
- Now, he gives us one final example of that
- 00:20:08.096 --> 00:20:11.099
- In chapter 11, verse seven, noah,
- 00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:13.902
- By faith, noah being warned by god
- 00:20:13.902 --> 00:20:16.772
- About things not yet seen in reverence,
- 00:20:16.772 --> 00:20:20.509
- He prepared an ark for the salvation of his household
- 00:20:20.509 --> 00:20:23.412
- By which he condemned the world
- 00:20:23.412 --> 00:20:24.913
- And he became an heir of the righteousness,
- 00:20:24.913 --> 00:20:27.349
- Which is according to faith.
- 00:20:27.349 --> 00:20:29.017
- Remember the story of noah, genesis 6?
- 00:20:29.017 --> 00:20:32.287
- The world had become so evil that god decided to destroy it
- 00:20:32.287 --> 00:20:35.557
- With a great flood.
- 00:20:35.557 --> 00:20:37.159
- But verse eight says, noah found favor in god's eyes.
- 00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:40.829
- For no reason other than god's own secret will
- 00:20:40.829 --> 00:20:43.799
- He chose noah.
- 00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:45.400
- And he said to noah, "noah, i'm going to flood the world.
- 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.436
- I'm going to send rain for 40 days and 40 nights,
- 00:20:47.436 --> 00:20:49.905
- Destroy the world.
- 00:20:49.905 --> 00:20:51.106
- I want you to build an ark for you
- 00:20:51.106 --> 00:20:52.407
- And those i'll tell you to put in that ark."
- 00:20:52.407 --> 00:20:55.243
- And noah obeyed what god said.
- 00:20:55.243 --> 00:20:58.413
- But what's interesting about his obedience is this.
- 00:20:58.413 --> 00:21:00.982
- It says: he obeyed god being warned of things not yet seen.
- 00:21:00.982 --> 00:21:07.089
- You know what that means?
- 00:21:07.656 --> 00:21:09.524
- Up to that point, it had never rained on the earth before.
- 00:21:09.524 --> 00:21:13.095
- The earth was watered by subterranean fountains
- 00:21:13.095 --> 00:21:15.897
- That provided this mist.
- 00:21:15.897 --> 00:21:17.466
- It had not yet rained on the earth according to genesis 2:5.
- 00:21:17.466 --> 00:21:21.636
- So when god said to noah, "hey, it's going to rain for 40 days
- 00:21:22.804 --> 00:21:26.842
- And 40 nights," that was like saying to noah,
- 00:21:26.842 --> 00:21:29.044
- "hey, noah, it's going to supercalifragilisticexpialidocis
- 00:21:29.044 --> 00:21:33.882
- For 40 days and 40 nights."
- 00:21:33.882 --> 00:21:36.017
- "lord, would you say that again please?"
- 00:21:36.017 --> 00:21:38.553
- He didn't know what rain was. never heard of rain.
- 00:21:38.553 --> 00:21:41.490
- But he believed what god said.
- 00:21:42.124 --> 00:21:44.960
- He acted accordingly by building that ark.
- 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.764
- And the result was not only the temporary salvation
- 00:21:48.764 --> 00:21:53.435
- Of himself and his family, but notice what it says here:
- 00:21:53.435 --> 00:21:57.172
- He became an heir of the righteousness,
- 00:21:57.172 --> 00:22:01.276
- Which is according to faith.
- 00:22:01.276 --> 00:22:03.311
- Noah is the first person in the bible
- 00:22:04.146 --> 00:22:06.181
- Who was ever declared righteous.
- 00:22:06.181 --> 00:22:09.418
- He is in a right standing with god. why?
- 00:22:10.252 --> 00:22:14.356
- Because he believed what god said.
- 00:22:14.356 --> 00:22:16.858
- He believed in a god of grace.
- 00:22:16.858 --> 00:22:20.762
- He received that grace through faith
- 00:22:20.762 --> 00:22:23.932
- And one day that faith would be paid for by the blood
- 00:22:23.932 --> 00:22:28.570
- Of jesus christ.
- 00:22:28.570 --> 00:22:30.505
- You know what thing you notice
- 00:22:31.139 --> 00:22:32.574
- As you read through hebrews 11 is this,
- 00:22:32.574 --> 00:22:35.577
- All of the men and women
- 00:22:35.577 --> 00:22:36.845
- We're going to look at in the days ahead
- 00:22:36.845 --> 00:22:38.680
- Had one thing in common.
- 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:40.482
- They obeyed god and they died without fully seeing
- 00:22:40.482 --> 00:22:45.387
- And realizing the promises of god.
- 00:22:45.387 --> 00:22:48.690
- Nevertheless, they kept on obeying god
- 00:22:48.690 --> 00:22:51.993
- And they found that as they did,
- 00:22:51.993 --> 00:22:54.095
- As they exercised their faith,
- 00:22:54.095 --> 00:22:57.532
- Their faith became stronger.
- 00:22:58.133 --> 00:23:00.101
- As they practiced obedience, it became easier to obey god.
- 00:23:00.101 --> 00:23:05.340
- What is it that gave them the ability
- 00:23:06.107 --> 00:23:08.610
- To keep on following god,
- 00:23:08.610 --> 00:23:11.179
- Even when they weren't immediately rewarded for doing so?
- 00:23:11.179 --> 00:23:15.450
- It was their faith.
- 00:23:15.450 --> 00:23:17.385
- They believed that god exists
- 00:23:17.385 --> 00:23:20.856
- And that he is a rewarder of those
- 00:23:20.856 --> 00:23:23.391
- Who diligently follow after him.
- 00:23:23.391 --> 00:23:26.428
- Do you believe that?
- 00:23:26.895 --> 00:23:28.597
- Do you really believe that?

- Who was in a tough spiritual battle.
- 00:24:02.664 --> 00:24:05.166
- She wrote, "pastor jeffress satan dangled his temptations
- 00:24:05.166 --> 00:24:09.104
- In front of me and i took them hook, line and sinker.
- 00:24:09.104 --> 00:24:12.707
- And just like a fish on a hook, i felt helpless,
- 00:24:12.707 --> 00:24:16.378
- Like i couldn't get free.
- 00:24:16.378 --> 00:24:18.280
- But your teaching changed my way of thinking.

- Thank you for helping me get free."
- 00:24:21.283 --> 00:24:24.553
- Isn't that great?
- 00:24:24.553 --> 00:24:25.887
- Mary chose to place her faith and trust in god,
- 00:24:25.887 --> 00:24:29.291

- And pointing a lost world toward hope in jesus christ.
- 00:26:12.193 --> 00:26:18.633
- The same grace that saved noah
- 00:26:19.267 --> 00:26:21.436
- So many thousands of years ago
- 00:26:21.436 --> 00:26:23.672
- Is the same grace that saves you and me today.
- 00:26:23.672 --> 00:26:27.108
- And we both received that grace through faith.
- 00:26:27.108 --> 00:26:31.079
- Before jesus came, after jesus came,
- 00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:33.581
- It's all the same.
- 00:26:33.581 --> 00:26:35.250
- Well, faith, not only saves and sanctifies,
- 00:26:35.250 --> 00:26:38.086
- Faith also submits.
- 00:26:38.086 --> 00:26:40.522
- And next time we're going to look at two people
- 00:26:40.522 --> 00:26:42.590

- 00:26:42.590 --> 00:26:45.527
- Submitting to a future they couldn't yet see.

- We want a priest that we can touch.

- We want a temple that we can go into.
- 00:26:58.373 --> 00:27:00.909
- We want to sacrifice that we can smell.
- 00:27:00.909 --> 00:27:03.978
- We're tired of this invisible priest
- 00:27:03.978 --> 00:27:06.147
- Who's in an invisible temple in heaven,
- 00:27:06.147 --> 00:27:08.383
- Who's in offered this invisible sacrifice.
- 00:27:08.383 --> 00:27:11.986
- Do you ever feel that way? sometimes,
- 00:27:11.986 --> 00:27:13.755
- But real faith requires believing
- 00:27:13.755 --> 00:27:16.424
- In that which is invisible.
- 00:27:16.424 --> 00:27:19.260
