>> this collection is called "jesus saves."
00:00:32.681 --> 00:00:34.083
"jesus saves." can we say that together?
00:00:34.149 --> 00:00:35.184
Can we say that together? jesus saves.
00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:37.052
Jesus saves. we're talking about
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:37.686
We're talking about the doctrine of salvation
00:00:37.753 --> 00:00:41.423
The doctrine of salvation and it's not just about
00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:42.324
And it's not just about theological information,
00:00:42.391 --> 00:00:43.459
Theological information, it's about life transformation.
00:00:43.525 --> 00:00:45.794
It's about life transformation. and if i could just
00:00:45.861 --> 00:00:47.029
And if i could just say it today,
00:00:47.096 --> 00:00:47.863
Say it today, our prayer in this journey
00:00:47.930 --> 00:00:49.832
Our prayer in this journey is that we'll know what
00:00:49.898 --> 00:00:50.866
Is that we'll know what it means to be saved,
00:00:50.933 --> 00:00:51.900
It means to be saved, but more than that,
00:00:51.967 --> 00:00:53.368
But more than that, that we will be saved.
00:00:53.435 --> 00:00:56.038
That we will be saved. to make it more personal,
00:00:56.105 --> 00:00:56.805
To make it more personal, our prayer is that you
00:00:56.872 --> 00:00:58.073
Our prayer is that you would be saved.
00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.675
Would be saved. god's heart today,
00:00:59.741 --> 00:01:01.477
God's heart today, from his word,
00:01:01.543 --> 00:01:03.045
From his word, is that none would perish,
00:01:03.112 --> 00:01:06.081
Is that none would perish, but that all would come
00:01:06.148 --> 00:01:07.683
But that all would come to the knowledge of the truth.
00:01:07.749 --> 00:01:10.652
To the knowledge of the truth. god in heaven today,
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:11.920
God in heaven today, his heart is that
00:01:11.987 --> 00:01:13.155
His heart is that none would perish,
00:01:13.222 --> 00:01:16.291
None would perish, but that all would come
00:01:16.358 --> 00:01:17.960
But that all would come to the knowledge of the truth.
00:01:18.026 --> 00:01:20.295
To the knowledge of the truth. and that's our prayer as well.
00:01:20.362 --> 00:01:22.097
And that's our prayer as well. we talked about a salvation
00:01:22.164 --> 00:01:24.099
We talked about a salvation being by grace alone,
00:01:24.166 --> 00:01:26.535
Being by grace alone, this is where
00:01:26.602 --> 00:01:27.035
This is where we ended last week,
00:01:27.102 --> 00:01:28.837
We ended last week, through faith alone,
00:01:28.904 --> 00:01:31.373
Through faith alone, in christ alone.
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:34.042
In christ alone. and if you've been
00:01:34.109 --> 00:01:34.843
And if you've been around our core class,
00:01:34.910 --> 00:01:37.346
Around our core class, in that same vein we talked
00:01:37.412 --> 00:01:39.014
In that same vein we talked about that the result
00:01:39.081 --> 00:01:40.082
About that the result of salvation is a rescue,
00:01:40.149 --> 00:01:42.985
Of salvation is a rescue, right standing, and renewal.
00:01:43.051 --> 00:01:46.922
Right standing, and renewal. and let me give you three ways
00:01:46.989 --> 00:01:48.290
And let me give you three ways to think about them,
00:01:48.357 --> 00:01:49.458
To think about them, and then a fourth way that
00:01:49.525 --> 00:01:50.592
And then a fourth way that we're going to lean into today.
00:01:50.659 --> 00:01:51.793
We're going to lean into today. the first part is this,
00:01:51.860 --> 00:01:53.428
The first part is this, there's an oh-no moment for
00:01:53.495 --> 00:01:54.830
There's an oh-no moment for everyone who gets saved.
00:01:54.897 --> 00:01:57.366
Everyone who gets saved. the oh-no moment is,
00:01:57.432 --> 00:01:59.134
The oh-no moment is, i'm sinful and god is holy.
00:01:59.201 --> 00:02:03.272
I'm sinful and god is holy. oh no.
00:02:03.338 --> 00:02:04.940
Oh no. this is what isaiah
00:02:05.007 --> 00:02:06.675
This is what isaiah realized in isaiah 6 when
00:02:06.742 --> 00:02:08.810
Realized in isaiah 6 when he had this vision of god,
00:02:08.877 --> 00:02:10.512
He had this vision of god, and he hears these
00:02:10.579 --> 00:02:12.314
Angelic beings, these seraphim,
00:02:12.414 --> 00:02:14.983
Angelic beings, these seraphim, and they're calling out,
00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:16.118
And they're calling out, "holy, holy, holy
00:02:16.185 --> 00:02:17.686
"holy, holy, holy is the lord almighty.
00:02:17.753 --> 00:02:19.321
Is the lord almighty. the whole earth
00:02:19.388 --> 00:02:20.355
The whole earth is full of his glory.
00:02:20.422 --> 00:02:21.857
Is full of his glory. at the sound of the voices,
00:02:21.924 --> 00:02:23.292
At the sound of the voices, the doorposts
00:02:23.358 --> 00:02:24.092
The doorposts and the threshold shook,
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:25.260
And the threshold shook, and the temple
00:02:25.327 --> 00:02:25.961
And the temple was filled with smoke."
00:02:26.028 --> 00:02:27.196
Was filled with smoke." and so, what did isaiah say?
00:02:27.262 --> 00:02:29.298
And so, what did isaiah say? wow, that's amazing!
00:02:29.364 --> 00:02:31.333
Wow, that's amazing! no, isaiah said, "woe to me."
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:37.973
No, isaiah said, "woe to me." oh no, i'm getting a glimpse now
00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:41.310
Of how holy god is,
00:02:41.410 --> 00:02:42.411
Of how holy god is, and my response isn't,
00:02:42.477 --> 00:02:44.012
And my response isn't, wow, that's cool.
00:02:44.079 --> 00:02:44.780
Wow, that's cool. no, my response is, uh-oh.
00:02:44.846 --> 00:02:48.784
No, my response is, uh-oh. uh-oh.
00:02:48.850 --> 00:02:49.952
Oh no, i am ruined.
00:02:50.052 --> 00:02:54.356
Oh no, i am ruined. why?
00:02:54.423 --> 00:02:54.823
Why? for i am
00:02:54.890 --> 00:02:55.290
For i am a man of unclean lips.
00:02:55.357 --> 00:02:56.558
A man of unclean lips. that's very clear to me right
00:02:56.625 --> 00:02:57.826
That's very clear to me right now in the presence of god,
00:02:57.893 --> 00:02:59.294
Now in the presence of god, and not only that,
00:02:59.361 --> 00:03:00.862
And not only that, "i live among
00:03:00.929 --> 00:03:02.030
"i live among a people of unclean lips,
00:03:02.097 --> 00:03:04.066
A people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the king,
00:03:04.132 --> 00:03:06.668
And my eyes have seen the king, the lord almighty."
00:03:06.735 --> 00:03:10.772
The lord almighty." i am aware right now
00:03:10.839 --> 00:03:11.940
I am aware right now that i'm in a really bad spot.
00:03:12.007 --> 00:03:14.810
That i'm in a really bad spot. you do not get saved
00:03:14.876 --> 00:03:16.712
You do not get saved casually, accidentally.
00:03:16.778 --> 00:03:21.149
You get saved when
00:03:21.250 --> 00:03:22.017
You get saved when you realize i am in
00:03:22.084 --> 00:03:24.419
You realize i am in a really difficult place.
00:03:24.486 --> 00:03:32.728
A really difficult place. we all were.
00:03:32.794 --> 00:03:33.795
We all were. we just read it
00:03:33.862 --> 00:03:34.997
We just read it from ephesians 2.
00:03:35.063 --> 00:03:36.765
We all were, by nature,
00:03:36.865 --> 00:03:43.605
We all were, by nature, deserving of wrath.
00:03:43.672 --> 00:03:47.109
Deserving of wrath. oh no.
00:03:47.175 --> 00:03:49.044
Oh no. we talked about it last week.
00:03:49.111 --> 00:03:50.879
The wrecking ball
00:03:50.979 --> 00:03:53.482
The wrecking ball and the teacup.
00:03:53.548 --> 00:03:55.083
And the teacup. now, let's just take a vote.
00:03:55.150 --> 00:03:56.885
Now, let's just take a vote. these wrecking balls
00:03:56.952 --> 00:03:58.487
Weigh somewhere between
00:03:58.587 --> 00:03:59.588
Weigh somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds.
00:03:59.655 --> 00:04:02.190
2,000 and 3,000 pounds. as much as your car, more.
00:04:02.257 --> 00:04:05.560
As much as your car, more. now, let's take a quick vote.
00:04:05.627 --> 00:04:07.863
Now, let's take a quick vote. who's voting for the teacup?
00:04:07.929 --> 00:04:14.136
Who's voting for the teacup? show of hands.
00:04:14.202 --> 00:04:18.140
Show of hands. who's voting
00:04:18.206 --> 00:04:18.740
Who's voting for the wrecking ball?
00:04:18.807 --> 00:04:22.044
For the wrecking ball? wow, this was the easiest vote
00:04:22.110 --> 00:04:23.245
Wow, this was the easiest vote we've ever done here.
00:04:23.312 --> 00:04:25.347
I don't know about cumberland,
00:04:25.447 --> 00:04:26.114
I don't know about cumberland, trillith, anybody at home.
00:04:26.181 --> 00:04:28.617
Trillith, anybody at home. zero votes for the teacup.
00:04:28.684 --> 00:04:32.521
Zero votes for the teacup. could be the nicest teacup ever,
00:04:32.587 --> 00:04:34.156
Could be the nicest teacup ever, could be the most
00:04:34.222 --> 00:04:36.391
Well-meaning teacup,
00:04:36.491 --> 00:04:39.795
Well-meaning teacup, but the teacup
00:04:39.861 --> 00:04:40.595
But the teacup doesn't have a chance,
00:04:40.662 --> 00:04:44.433
Doesn't have a chance, and that's the oh-no moment
00:04:44.499 --> 00:04:47.035
And that's the oh-no moment of the gospel.
00:04:47.102 --> 00:04:48.937
Of the gospel. it's not realizing that,
00:04:49.004 --> 00:04:50.138
It's not realizing that, oh, if i just get
00:04:50.205 --> 00:04:51.239
Oh, if i just get a little nudge,
00:04:51.306 --> 00:04:52.541
It'll push me right on
00:04:52.641 --> 00:04:54.009
It'll push me right on into grace.
00:04:54.076 --> 00:04:55.644
Into grace. no.
00:04:55.711 --> 00:04:56.812
No. if i can get one more
00:04:56.878 --> 00:04:58.180
Badge on my jacket,
00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:00.482
Badge on my jacket, then i'll be good with god.
00:05:00.549 --> 00:05:01.883
Then i'll be good with god. no.
00:05:01.950 --> 00:05:02.384
No. it is realizing
00:05:02.451 --> 00:05:03.352
It is realizing i am dead in sin,
00:05:03.418 --> 00:05:06.421
I am dead in sin, and the wrath of god
00:05:06.488 --> 00:05:07.723
And the wrath of god is my due,
00:05:07.789 --> 00:05:12.227
Is my due, and i can't do
00:05:12.294 --> 00:05:12.794
And i can't do a thing about it.
00:05:12.861 --> 00:05:14.896
This teacup, and the saucer,
00:05:14.996 --> 00:05:17.132
This teacup, and the saucer, and the table are gonna
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:18.467
And the table are gonna get smashed to smithereens
00:05:18.533 --> 00:05:20.936
Get smashed to smithereens and there will be
00:05:21.002 --> 00:05:21.937
And there will be no putting them
00:05:22.003 --> 00:05:22.504
No putting them back together again.
00:05:22.571 --> 00:05:26.575
That's the oh-no moment
00:05:26.675 --> 00:05:29.144
That's the oh-no moment of the gospel, but the gospel,
00:05:29.211 --> 00:05:30.479
Of the gospel, but the gospel, these seven words,
00:05:30.545 --> 00:05:31.646
These seven words, also have a but wait moment.
00:05:31.713 --> 00:05:34.249
Also have a but wait moment. ours is right here
00:05:34.316 --> 00:05:35.484
Ours is right here in the very next line,
00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:36.651
"by nature deserving of wrath,
00:05:36.752 --> 00:05:38.954
"by nature deserving of wrath, but because of his
00:05:39.020 --> 00:05:41.456
But because of his great love for us,
00:05:41.523 --> 00:05:44.159
Great love for us, god who is rich
00:05:44.226 --> 00:05:45.227
God who is rich in mercy made us alive,
00:05:45.293 --> 00:05:48.029
In mercy made us alive, even when we were dead in sin."
00:05:48.096 --> 00:05:51.733
Even when we were dead in sin." it is by grace
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.402
It is by grace you have been saved.
00:05:53.468 --> 00:05:55.637
You have been saved. there's a moment in
00:05:55.704 --> 00:05:57.439
There's a moment in the oh-no of the gospel.
00:05:57.506 --> 00:05:58.974
The oh-no of the gospel. we talked about it
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.275
We talked about it at 2 corinthians 5:21.
00:06:00.342 --> 00:06:02.010
At 2 corinthians 5:21. god made him who knew no sin,
00:06:02.077 --> 00:06:04.012
God made him who knew no sin, jesus, to be sin for us,
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.349
Jesus, to be sin for us, so that in him we might become
00:06:07.416 --> 00:06:10.752
The righteousness of god.
00:06:10.852 --> 00:06:13.422
The righteousness of god. there's a but wait moment
00:06:13.488 --> 00:06:14.823
There's a but wait moment in the gospel.
00:06:14.890 --> 00:06:15.624
In the gospel. oh no, the wrecking ball
00:06:15.690 --> 00:06:18.260
Is coming all sin is gonna
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.929
Is coming all sin is gonna be judged, but wait,
00:06:20.996 --> 00:06:23.865
Be judged, but wait, there's good news.
00:06:23.932 --> 00:06:25.400
There's good news. there's a gospel in
00:06:25.467 --> 00:06:26.401
There's a gospel in the middle of the story,
00:06:26.468 --> 00:06:29.271
And the gospel in
00:06:29.371 --> 00:06:30.172
And the gospel in the middle of the story.
00:06:30.238 --> 00:06:31.039
The middle of the story. we looked at it in isaiah 53
00:06:31.106 --> 00:06:33.508
We looked at it in isaiah 53 last week.
00:06:33.575 --> 00:06:34.309
Last week. i love this.
00:06:34.376 --> 00:06:35.010
I love this. i know we can't,
00:06:35.076 --> 00:06:36.845
I know we can't, but i'd like to preach on
00:06:36.912 --> 00:06:38.146
But i'd like to preach on the gospel every single sunday
00:06:38.213 --> 00:06:39.347
The gospel every single sunday for the rest of my life
00:06:39.414 --> 00:06:40.248
For the rest of my life until jesus comes,
00:06:40.315 --> 00:06:43.285
Until jesus comes, because most revivals
00:06:43.351 --> 00:06:44.719
Because most revivals began in history when people
00:06:44.786 --> 00:06:48.857
Began in history when people in church got saved.
00:06:48.924 --> 00:06:53.161
In church got saved. that's how revivals began,
00:06:53.228 --> 00:06:55.263
That's how revivals began, when people who are sitting
00:06:55.330 --> 00:06:56.965
When people who are sitting in the seats actually
00:06:57.032 --> 00:06:59.134
In the seats actually come alive to transforming
00:06:59.201 --> 00:07:01.770
Come alive to transforming new life in christ,
00:07:01.837 --> 00:07:04.439
New life in christ, and the church explodes,
00:07:04.506 --> 00:07:05.807
And the church explodes, and the gospel moves out
00:07:05.874 --> 00:07:06.808
And the gospel moves out into the streets.
00:07:06.875 --> 00:07:09.945
Surely, this is a prophecy
00:07:10.045 --> 00:07:11.279
Surely, this is a prophecy of jesus from hundreds
00:07:11.346 --> 00:07:12.447
Of jesus from hundreds of years before in isaiah,
00:07:12.514 --> 00:07:15.050
Of years before in isaiah, "he took up our pain
00:07:15.116 --> 00:07:16.852
"he took up our pain and bore our suffering.
00:07:16.918 --> 00:07:20.121
And bore our suffering. yet we considered him,"
00:07:20.188 --> 00:07:21.223
Yet we considered him," jesus, can you
00:07:21.289 --> 00:07:22.891
Jesus, can you just say this with me?
00:07:22.958 --> 00:07:24.292
Just say this with me? let's just read this together.
00:07:24.359 --> 00:07:25.193
Let's just read this together. "yet we considered him
00:07:25.260 --> 00:07:27.863
"yet we considered him punished by god."
00:07:27.929 --> 00:07:32.434
Punished by god." so, jesus came into the story
00:07:32.501 --> 00:07:35.370
So, jesus came into the story to take on our punishment,
00:07:35.437 --> 00:07:40.742
To take on our punishment, stricken by god and afflicted.
00:07:40.809 --> 00:07:44.246
Stricken by god and afflicted. "but he was pierced," jesus was,
00:07:44.312 --> 00:07:45.580
"but he was pierced," jesus was, for our transgressions,"
00:07:45.647 --> 00:07:48.350
For our transgressions," not his.
00:07:48.416 --> 00:07:49.117
Not his. he was crushed
00:07:49.184 --> 00:07:50.051
He was crushed for our iniquities,
00:07:50.118 --> 00:07:51.453
For our iniquities, not his iniquities,
00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:52.521
Not his iniquities, and the punishment that
00:07:52.587 --> 00:07:53.655
And the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
00:07:53.722 --> 00:07:57.158
Brought us peace was on him, and by jesus' wounds,
00:07:57.225 --> 00:08:00.395
And by jesus' wounds, we are healed.
00:08:00.462 --> 00:08:04.900
We are healed. oh, come on,
00:08:04.966 --> 00:08:05.467
Oh, come on, i'm with you on that.
00:08:05.534 --> 00:08:07.402
I'm with you on that. praise god.
00:08:07.469 --> 00:08:08.003
[applause]
00:08:08.370 --> 00:08:10.338
For we all, like sheep,
00:08:11.172 --> 00:08:12.841
For we all, like sheep, have gone astray.
00:08:12.908 --> 00:08:14.309
Have gone astray. that's the depravity part.
00:08:14.376 --> 00:08:15.911
That's the depravity part. all of us have gone astray.
00:08:15.977 --> 00:08:19.347
All of us have gone astray. each of us, each one of us.
00:08:19.414 --> 00:08:22.884
Each of us, each one of us. nobody in this building today
00:08:22.951 --> 00:08:24.319
Has a story that goes like this.
00:08:24.419 --> 00:08:26.321
Has a story that goes like this. i was actually
00:08:26.388 --> 00:08:27.489
I was actually an amazing person.
00:08:27.556 --> 00:08:28.323
An amazing person. never one time did i ever
00:08:28.390 --> 00:08:30.692
Never one time did i ever turn my back on god.
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.295
Turn my back on god. of course, i'm saved.
00:08:33.361 --> 00:08:34.329
Of course, i'm saved. no one has that story.
00:08:34.396 --> 00:08:35.897
No one has that story. "each of us has
00:08:35.964 --> 00:08:37.198
"each of us has turned to our own way,"
00:08:37.265 --> 00:08:40.635
But here's the but wait moment,
00:08:40.735 --> 00:08:47.208
But here's the but wait moment, "and the lord has laid on jesus
00:08:47.275 --> 00:08:48.443
"and the lord has laid on jesus the iniquity of us all."
00:08:48.510 --> 00:08:55.517
The iniquity of us all." there were two cups on the last
00:08:55.584 --> 00:08:58.620
Night before jesus died.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.324
Night before jesus died. you remember the two cups?
00:09:02.390 --> 00:09:04.593
You remember the two cups? the first cup was at the table
00:09:04.659 --> 00:09:06.895
The first cup was at the table with his followers when he
00:09:06.962 --> 00:09:07.996
With his followers when he lifted up the cup and he said,
00:09:08.063 --> 00:09:11.399
Lifted up the cup and he said, "this cup, this wine and this
00:09:11.466 --> 00:09:12.601
"this cup, this wine and this glass symbolizes my blood,
00:09:12.667 --> 00:09:16.171
Glass symbolizes my blood, a new covenant between
00:09:16.237 --> 00:09:18.340
A new covenant between god and man."
00:09:18.406 --> 00:09:20.075
God and man." in other words,
00:09:20.141 --> 00:09:20.575
In other words, what jesus was saying was,
00:09:20.642 --> 00:09:21.776
What jesus was saying was, i'm pouring out my innocent life
00:09:21.843 --> 00:09:25.614
I'm pouring out my innocent life to make a new deal between
00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:28.116
To make a new deal between you and god.
00:09:28.183 --> 00:09:29.384
You and god. it will not be
00:09:29.451 --> 00:09:29.884
It will not be based on your effort.
00:09:29.951 --> 00:09:31.019
Based on your effort. it will be based
00:09:31.086 --> 00:09:31.553
It will be based on my righteous life.
00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:34.889
On my righteous life. but then there was a second cup
00:09:34.956 --> 00:09:36.091
But then there was a second cup in the garden as he was there
00:09:36.157 --> 00:09:39.728
In the garden as he was there at gethsemane praying alone,
00:09:39.794 --> 00:09:42.697
At gethsemane praying alone, and he said,
00:09:42.764 --> 00:09:43.231
And he said, "god, if it's possible,
00:09:43.298 --> 00:09:44.232
"god, if it's possible, let this cup pass from me.
00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:46.401
Let this cup pass from me. nevertheless, not my will,
00:09:46.468 --> 00:09:47.736
Nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done."
00:09:47.802 --> 00:09:49.337
But your will be done." that cup did not have
00:09:49.404 --> 00:09:50.538
That cup did not have his innocent blood in it
00:09:50.605 --> 00:09:52.574
His innocent blood in it poured out from the table
00:09:52.641 --> 00:09:53.975
Poured out from the table earlier at the last supper.
00:09:54.042 --> 00:09:55.910
Earlier at the last supper. no, that cup had in it our
00:09:55.977 --> 00:09:58.380
No, that cup had in it our sinfulness that he was now going
00:09:58.446 --> 00:10:02.817
To take on his innocent life.
00:10:02.917 --> 00:10:05.220
To take on his innocent life. his life poured out,
00:10:05.286 --> 00:10:06.588
His life poured out, our sins onboarded
00:10:06.655 --> 00:10:08.590
Our sins onboarded to his innocent life.
00:10:08.657 --> 00:10:10.859
To his innocent life. and so, when the prophet said
00:10:10.925 --> 00:10:13.261
And so, when the prophet said that he is going to be pierced
00:10:13.328 --> 00:10:15.597
That he is going to be pierced for our transgressions,
00:10:15.664 --> 00:10:16.865
For our transgressions, and then what else did he say?
00:10:16.931 --> 00:10:18.700
He's going to be crushed
00:10:18.800 --> 00:10:20.635
He's going to be crushed for our iniquities.
00:10:20.702 --> 00:10:23.738
He was thinking about the fact
00:10:23.838 --> 00:10:25.006
He was thinking about the fact that jesus was going
00:10:25.073 --> 00:10:25.874
That jesus was going to be willing to take on
00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:27.642
To be willing to take on the sin of the world,
00:10:27.709 --> 00:10:29.511
And the wrath of god was
00:10:29.611 --> 00:10:31.546
And the wrath of god was going to fall on him.
00:10:31.613 --> 00:10:34.315
Going to fall on him. and it did.
00:10:34.382 --> 00:10:37.452
And it did. and it smashed him
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.522
And it smashed him into smithereens.
00:10:40.588 --> 00:10:46.728
Into smithereens. that's what happened
00:10:46.795 --> 00:10:49.264
That's what happened at the cross.
00:10:49.330 --> 00:10:52.267
At the cross. and someone will often say,
00:10:52.333 --> 00:10:54.803
And someone will often say, well, if god can do anything,
00:10:54.869 --> 00:10:56.237
Well, if god can do anything, and he's a loving god,
00:10:56.304 --> 00:10:57.072
And he's a loving god, and a merciful god,
00:10:57.138 --> 00:10:57.906
And a merciful god, and he's all-powerful,
00:10:57.972 --> 00:10:59.207
And he's all-powerful, why didn't he just
00:10:59.274 --> 00:11:00.608
Why didn't he just move the table?
00:11:00.675 --> 00:11:05.847
Move the table? god could do anything,
00:11:05.914 --> 00:11:07.282
God could do anything, and he certainly
00:11:07.348 --> 00:11:08.850
And he certainly could have moved the table,
00:11:08.917 --> 00:11:09.584
Could have moved the table, but if he had moved the table,
00:11:09.651 --> 00:11:10.952
He wouldn't be just.
00:11:11.052 --> 00:11:12.721
He wouldn't be just. and how could we trust
00:11:12.787 --> 00:11:14.756
And how could we trust and follow a god who's not just?
00:11:14.823 --> 00:11:19.627
And so, he put his son under
00:11:19.728 --> 00:11:24.899
The wrath so he could say,
00:11:24.999 --> 00:11:31.206
The wrath so he could say, "you can trust me,
00:11:31.272 --> 00:11:32.874
"you can trust me, i'm just.
00:11:32.941 --> 00:11:34.809
I'm just. and he put his son under
00:11:34.876 --> 00:11:36.544
And he put his son under the wrath so that he could say,
00:11:36.611 --> 00:11:39.280
The wrath so that he could say, "and you can trust me,
00:11:39.347 --> 00:11:41.316
"and you can trust me, i want to justify you.
00:11:41.382 --> 00:11:50.992
I want to justify you. oh, no.
00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:52.794
But wait.
00:11:52.894 --> 00:11:55.263
But wait. the third part of the gospel
00:11:55.330 --> 00:11:57.699
The third part of the gospel is no way.
00:11:57.766 --> 00:12:00.135
Is no way. no way.
00:12:00.201 --> 00:12:00.902
No way. you've got to be kidding me.
00:12:00.969 --> 00:12:03.838
You've got to be kidding me. and that's simply understanding
00:12:03.905 --> 00:12:05.106
And that's simply understanding that yahweh has done something
00:12:05.173 --> 00:12:08.176
That yahweh has done something extraordinary to exchange
00:12:08.243 --> 00:12:09.544
Extraordinary to exchange the guilty for the innocent,
00:12:09.611 --> 00:12:11.579
The guilty for the innocent, that we might become
00:12:11.646 --> 00:12:12.714
That we might become the righteousness of god in him,
00:12:12.781 --> 00:12:14.182
The righteousness of god in him, that we might be justified.
00:12:14.249 --> 00:12:16.718
That we might be justified. christ's righteousness,
00:12:16.785 --> 00:12:18.419
Christ's righteousness, now our identity.
00:12:18.486 --> 00:12:21.122
Now our identity. but there is a fourth part
00:12:21.189 --> 00:12:23.558
But there is a fourth part of the seven words of salvation,
00:12:23.625 --> 00:12:25.393
Of the seven words of salvation, and the fourth part is now what?
00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:27.395
And the fourth part is now what? and that's where we are today.
00:12:27.462 --> 00:12:29.564
And that's where we are today. now, what?
00:12:29.631 --> 00:12:30.999
Now, what? i love how this beautiful text
00:12:31.065 --> 00:12:31.766
I love how this beautiful text that we have been digging in
00:12:31.833 --> 00:12:36.271
In ephesians 2 ends after
00:12:36.371 --> 00:12:38.439
In ephesians 2 ends after it is by grace that you've
00:12:38.506 --> 00:12:40.542
It is by grace that you've been saved through faith.
00:12:40.608 --> 00:12:41.476
Been saved through faith. it's not of yourselves.
00:12:41.543 --> 00:12:42.710
It's not of yourselves. it's a gift of god.
00:12:42.777 --> 00:12:43.912
It's a gift of god. all this wonderful salvation
00:12:43.978 --> 00:12:45.580
All this wonderful salvation and saving work of god,
00:12:45.647 --> 00:12:47.182
And saving work of god, but it ends in verse 10
00:12:47.248 --> 00:12:49.317
But it ends in verse 10 as things shift.
00:12:49.384 --> 00:12:51.186
As things shift. "for we are god's handiwork,
00:12:51.252 --> 00:12:55.089
"for we are god's handiwork, created in christ jesus
00:12:55.156 --> 00:12:57.492
Created in christ jesus to do good work."
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.061
To do good work." so, we didn't get saved
00:13:00.128 --> 00:13:02.430
So, we didn't get saved by works, not of works,
00:13:02.497 --> 00:13:04.432
By works, not of works, but what?
00:13:04.499 --> 00:13:05.133
But what? we got saved for works.
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.838
Amen?
00:13:09.938 --> 00:13:12.640
Amen? which god prepared
00:13:12.707 --> 00:13:14.042
Which god prepared in advance for us to do.
00:13:14.108 --> 00:13:16.211
So, we're understanding now,
00:13:16.311 --> 00:13:19.814
So, we're understanding now, oh no, but wait.
00:13:19.881 --> 00:13:26.621
Oh no, but wait. god is in the story.
00:13:26.688 --> 00:13:30.758
God is in the story. no way.
00:13:30.825 --> 00:13:31.826
No way. righteous in christ?
00:13:31.893 --> 00:13:34.295
Righteous in christ? but now what?
00:13:34.362 --> 00:13:37.498
But now what? and that's why we're calling
00:13:37.565 --> 00:13:38.266
And that's why we're calling this message, i got saved.
00:13:38.333 --> 00:13:40.902
Now what?
00:13:41.002 --> 00:13:44.205
Now what? philippians says it this way
00:13:44.272 --> 00:13:45.673
Philippians says it this way in that amazing passage
00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:47.308
In that amazing passage where it ends with
00:13:47.375 --> 00:13:49.544
Where it ends with every knee shall bow
00:13:49.611 --> 00:13:50.778
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess
00:13:50.845 --> 00:13:53.014
And every tongue confess that jesus christ is lord
00:13:53.081 --> 00:13:54.182
That jesus christ is lord of the glory of god the father.
00:13:54.249 --> 00:13:55.550
Of the glory of god the father. all of this work of christ.
00:13:55.617 --> 00:13:57.285
All of this work of christ. he came in the likeness of man.
00:13:57.352 --> 00:14:00.088
He came in the likeness of man. he gave himself even unto death,
00:14:00.154 --> 00:14:02.757
He gave himself even unto death, even death on a cross.
00:14:02.824 --> 00:14:04.859
Even death on a cross. so, all this
00:14:04.926 --> 00:14:05.560
So, all this gospel is happening,
00:14:05.627 --> 00:14:07.061
Gospel is happening, but the very next part
00:14:07.128 --> 00:14:07.862
But the very next part of philippians 2 says,
00:14:07.929 --> 00:14:08.830
Of philippians 2 says, "therefore, my dear friends
00:14:08.897 --> 00:14:10.665
"therefore, my dear friends as you have always obeyed,"
00:14:10.732 --> 00:14:12.634
As you have always obeyed," this is paul writing
00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:13.401
This is paul writing to these believers,
00:14:13.468 --> 00:14:14.903
To these believers, "not only in my presence
00:14:14.969 --> 00:14:15.904
"not only in my presence but now much more
00:14:15.970 --> 00:14:16.638
But now much more in my absence,"
00:14:16.704 --> 00:14:17.405
In my absence," look at this line,
00:14:17.472 --> 00:14:18.706
Look at this line, "continue to work out
00:14:18.773 --> 00:14:22.377
"continue to work out your salvation with
00:14:22.443 --> 00:14:24.646
Your salvation with fear and trembling.
00:14:24.712 --> 00:14:25.613
Fear and trembling. for it is god who works in you
00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:28.483
For it is god who works in you to will and to act in order
00:14:28.549 --> 00:14:30.585
To will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."
00:14:30.652 --> 00:14:33.288
To fulfill his good purpose." this is salvation.
00:14:33.354 --> 00:14:35.590
This is salvation. god did it,
00:14:35.657 --> 00:14:36.190
God did it, now you work it out.
00:14:36.257 --> 00:14:37.959
Now you work it out. oh, how am i gonna
00:14:38.026 --> 00:14:38.693
Oh, how am i gonna work it out?
00:14:38.760 --> 00:14:39.093
Work it out? well, god's gonna
00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:39.694
Well, god's gonna help you work it out,
00:14:39.761 --> 00:14:40.662
Help you work it out, because god is at work
00:14:40.728 --> 00:14:41.996
Because god is at work in you to do two things.
00:14:42.063 --> 00:14:43.698
In you to do two things. i love this.
00:14:43.765 --> 00:14:44.432
I love this. when i saw this for
00:14:44.499 --> 00:14:45.366
When i saw this for the very first time
00:14:45.433 --> 00:14:46.301
The very first time as a 20-something year old,
00:14:46.367 --> 00:14:48.336
As a 20-something year old, it absolutely changed everything
00:14:48.403 --> 00:14:50.238
It absolutely changed everything about my walk with god.
00:14:50.305 --> 00:14:51.973
God is working in me
00:14:52.073 --> 00:14:53.541
God is working in me both to will and to act.
00:14:53.608 --> 00:14:57.412
Both to will and to act. some translations say to do.
00:14:57.478 --> 00:14:59.514
Some translations say to do. both to will and to do.
00:14:59.580 --> 00:15:01.683
Both to will and to do. in other words,
00:15:01.749 --> 00:15:02.383
In other words, when i don't want to,
00:15:02.450 --> 00:15:03.484
When i don't want to, i pray that god would
00:15:03.551 --> 00:15:04.285
I pray that god would give me the want to.
00:15:04.352 --> 00:15:08.289
Give me the want to. and if i don't even have
00:15:08.356 --> 00:15:09.023
And if i don't even have the want to to want to,
00:15:09.090 --> 00:15:10.191
The want to to want to, i'll ask god to give me
00:15:10.258 --> 00:15:11.292
The want to to want to.
00:15:11.392 --> 00:15:14.128
The want to to want to. because god works in us
00:15:14.195 --> 00:15:15.563
Because god works in us both to will and to do.
00:15:15.630 --> 00:15:19.600
Both to will and to do. why is he working in us
00:15:19.667 --> 00:15:20.969
Why is he working in us to will and to do?
00:15:21.035 --> 00:15:21.936
To will and to do? so, that we can
00:15:22.003 --> 00:15:22.804
So, that we can work out our salvation.
00:15:22.870 --> 00:15:25.373
Work out our salvation. salvation is a process,
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.041
Salvation is a process, it begins the moment that you
00:15:27.108 --> 00:15:29.610
It begins the moment that you place your faith in jesus,
00:15:29.677 --> 00:15:30.712
Place your faith in jesus, and it ends the moment
00:15:30.778 --> 00:15:32.347
And it ends the moment that he says, "well done,
00:15:32.413 --> 00:15:33.181
That he says, "well done, good and faithful servant."
00:15:33.247 --> 00:15:35.817
Good and faithful servant." in salvation, its focus is life,
00:15:35.883 --> 00:15:42.757
In salvation, its focus is life, not heaven.
00:15:42.824 --> 00:15:48.262
Not heaven. the goal and the aim
00:15:48.329 --> 00:15:50.131
The goal and the aim of salvation is maturity,
00:15:50.198 --> 00:15:56.371
Of salvation is maturity, not just heaven.
00:15:56.437 --> 00:16:00.641
Not just heaven. the thing you don't want
00:16:00.708 --> 00:16:01.709
The thing you don't want to do is make it into heaven
00:16:01.776 --> 00:16:03.478
To do is make it into heaven by the grace of god.
00:16:03.544 --> 00:16:05.413
By the grace of god. paul refers to it in
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:06.481
Paul refers to it in another one of his letters,
00:16:06.547 --> 00:16:08.549
Another one of his letters, basically by the skin
00:16:08.616 --> 00:16:09.384
Basically by the skin of your teeth.
00:16:09.450 --> 00:16:11.519
Of your teeth. and to get into heaven immature,
00:16:11.586 --> 00:16:16.624
And to get into heaven immature, having never grown up
00:16:16.691 --> 00:16:17.825
Having never grown up into the reality that god
00:16:17.892 --> 00:16:19.627
Into the reality that god saved you for.
00:16:19.694 --> 00:16:21.496
Saved you for. that's the last thing
00:16:21.562 --> 00:16:22.130
That's the last thing you want to do,
00:16:22.196 --> 00:16:23.131
You want to do, is know for sure that
00:16:23.197 --> 00:16:24.165
Is know for sure that you're going to heaven,
00:16:24.232 --> 00:16:25.099
You're going to heaven, and then live immature
00:16:25.166 --> 00:16:26.401
And then live immature your entire life until
00:16:26.467 --> 00:16:27.468
Your entire life until you get there.
00:16:27.535 --> 00:16:30.705
You get there. the goal of salvation
00:16:30.772 --> 00:16:31.606
The goal of salvation begins the moment you put
00:16:31.672 --> 00:16:33.007
Begins the moment you put your faith in jesus,
00:16:33.074 --> 00:16:34.008
Your faith in jesus, but it ends the moment
00:16:34.075 --> 00:16:35.443
But it ends the moment that he says, "well done,
00:16:35.510 --> 00:16:37.111
That he says, "well done, good and faithful servant."
00:16:37.178 --> 00:16:40.314
Good and faithful servant." we are in the process,
00:16:40.381 --> 00:16:41.616
We are in the process, the scripture says,
00:16:41.682 --> 00:16:42.383
The scripture says, of being saved.
00:16:42.450 --> 00:16:44.018
Of being saved. now, be very careful here.
00:16:44.085 --> 00:16:46.287
Now, be very careful here. zoom in on this
00:16:46.354 --> 00:16:48.656
Zoom in on this with great focus today.
00:16:48.723 --> 00:16:51.059
With great focus today. we are not saved by works,
00:16:51.125 --> 00:16:55.229
We are not saved by works, but salvation works itself out.
00:16:55.296 --> 00:17:00.768
But salvation works itself out. and so, all of us who placed
00:17:00.835 --> 00:17:02.270
And so, all of us who placed our faith in jesus are
00:17:02.336 --> 00:17:03.571
Our faith in jesus are in the process right now
00:17:03.638 --> 00:17:04.939
In the process right now of being saved.
00:17:05.006 --> 00:17:06.274
Of being saved. he doesn't stop saving you,
00:17:06.340 --> 00:17:07.475
He doesn't stop saving you, by the way, the moment you
00:17:07.542 --> 00:17:09.110
By the way, the moment you put your faith in him.
00:17:09.177 --> 00:17:09.877
Put your faith in him. he starts saving you.
00:17:09.944 --> 00:17:12.947
He starts saving you. he'd been working towards
00:17:13.014 --> 00:17:14.215
He'd been working towards bringing you to that moment.
00:17:14.282 --> 00:17:16.384
Bringing you to that moment. that's why in 2 corinthians 2,
00:17:16.451 --> 00:17:18.753
That's why in 2 corinthians 2, you can circle this
00:17:18.820 --> 00:17:19.353
You can circle this and look at it later.
00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.154
And look at it later. verse 15, he says,
00:17:20.221 --> 00:17:21.756
Verse 15, he says, "among those
00:17:21.823 --> 00:17:22.657
"among those who are being saved."
00:17:22.723 --> 00:17:24.058
Who are being saved." it doesn't mean those who are,
00:17:24.125 --> 00:17:25.660
It doesn't mean those who are, you know, earning their
00:17:25.726 --> 00:17:26.294
You know, earning their way to heaven.
00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:27.061
Way to heaven. it just means those
00:17:27.128 --> 00:17:27.895
It just means those who are aware of the fact
00:17:27.962 --> 00:17:29.297
Who are aware of the fact that this is a process.
00:17:29.363 --> 00:17:30.631
That this is a process. i was conceived
00:17:30.698 --> 00:17:31.966
I was conceived in my mother's womb.
00:17:32.033 --> 00:17:32.934
In my mother's womb. i was 100% a human being
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.803
I was 100% a human being and everything i am and will be
00:17:35.870 --> 00:17:38.940
And everything i am and will be was in her womb.
00:17:39.006 --> 00:17:40.074
Was in her womb. amen?
00:17:40.141 --> 00:17:42.643
Amen? but man, i had a lot
00:17:42.710 --> 00:17:43.377
But man, i had a lot of growing to do.
00:17:43.444 --> 00:17:46.414
Of growing to do. and that's what the scripture
00:17:46.481 --> 00:17:48.015
And that's what the scripture talks about in hebrews 10:14.
00:17:48.082 --> 00:17:51.052
Talks about in hebrews 10:14. it says, "for by one sacrifice
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:52.820
It says, "for by one sacrifice he has made perfect."
00:17:52.887 --> 00:17:55.256
He has made perfect." you're like, oh man,
00:17:55.323 --> 00:17:55.823
You're like, oh man, i think i'm far from perfect.
00:17:55.890 --> 00:17:56.791
I think i'm far from perfect. well, that's who
00:17:56.858 --> 00:17:57.725
Well, that's who you are in christ.
00:17:57.792 --> 00:17:58.392
You are in christ. that's your new
00:17:58.459 --> 00:17:59.160
That's your new identity in christ.
00:17:59.227 --> 00:18:00.828
Identity in christ. that's your spiritual birth
00:18:00.895 --> 00:18:01.929
That's your spiritual birth right there.
00:18:01.996 --> 00:18:03.798
Right there. "he's made perfect forever
00:18:03.865 --> 00:18:06.300
"he's made perfect forever those who are being made holy."
00:18:06.367 --> 00:18:10.404
Those who are being made holy." for by one sacrifice,
00:18:10.471 --> 00:18:13.608
For by one sacrifice, right here, he's made us
00:18:13.674 --> 00:18:16.377
Right here, he's made us in him perfect.
00:18:16.444 --> 00:18:17.512
In him perfect. oh, but hang on,
00:18:17.578 --> 00:18:18.646
Oh, but hang on, we're working it out.
00:18:18.713 --> 00:18:19.380
We're working it out. we're being made holy.
00:18:19.447 --> 00:18:21.782
We're being made holy. this word being made holy
00:18:21.849 --> 00:18:23.184
This word being made holy is where we get
00:18:23.251 --> 00:18:24.152
Is where we get the word sanctified.
00:18:24.218 --> 00:18:27.555
The word sanctified. and sanctified means
00:18:27.622 --> 00:18:30.992
And sanctified means the process by which believers
00:18:31.058 --> 00:18:34.595
The process by which believers are made holy through
00:18:34.662 --> 00:18:35.930
Are made holy through the work of the holy spirit,
00:18:35.997 --> 00:18:38.466
The work of the holy spirit, aligning them with
00:18:38.533 --> 00:18:39.767
Aligning them with god's will and character.
00:18:39.834 --> 00:18:43.538
God's will and character. and so, saved, yes.
00:18:43.604 --> 00:18:46.641
And so, saved, yes. but being saved
00:18:46.707 --> 00:18:48.242
But being saved and being sanctified now
00:18:48.309 --> 00:18:50.778
And being sanctified now is what is the goal.
00:18:50.845 --> 00:18:53.681
Is what is the goal. we're perfect, but we're
00:18:53.748 --> 00:18:55.616
We're perfect, but we're also being perfected.
00:18:55.683 --> 00:19:02.423
Also being perfected. that's what it means
00:19:02.490 --> 00:19:03.090
That's what it means to be saved.
00:19:03.157 --> 00:19:04.625
To be saved. so, how are we sanctified?
00:19:04.692 --> 00:19:06.160
So, how are we sanctified? let's talk about that and we
00:19:06.227 --> 00:19:07.895
Let's talk about that and we will land this thing.
00:19:07.962 --> 00:19:11.766
Will land this thing. four ways we're sanctified.
00:19:11.832 --> 00:19:13.267
Four ways we're sanctified. we'll go through them quickly.
00:19:13.334 --> 00:19:15.736
We'll go through them quickly. number one, we're sanctified
00:19:15.803 --> 00:19:17.305
Number one, we're sanctified by being immersed
00:19:17.371 --> 00:19:19.740
By being immersed in the word of god.
00:19:19.807 --> 00:19:22.276
The end goal of the word is not
00:19:22.376 --> 00:19:26.013
The end goal of the word is not just that it encourages me,
00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:29.984
Just that it encourages me, but we do go there for that
00:19:30.051 --> 00:19:31.986
And that's awesome.
00:19:32.086 --> 00:19:34.222
And that's awesome. it's not just that
00:19:34.288 --> 00:19:35.223
It's not just that i go here and it leads me,
00:19:35.289 --> 00:19:36.991
I go here and it leads me, although it doesn't,
00:19:37.058 --> 00:19:37.792
Although it doesn't, that's awesome.
00:19:37.858 --> 00:19:40.394
That's awesome. that i go here
00:19:40.461 --> 00:19:41.028
That i go here and it comforts me,
00:19:41.095 --> 00:19:42.063
And it comforts me, although that's amazing.
00:19:42.129 --> 00:19:44.332
Although that's amazing. the primary thing
00:19:44.398 --> 00:19:46.767
The primary thing we should be thinking
00:19:46.834 --> 00:19:47.501
When we immerse ourselves
00:19:47.602 --> 00:19:48.936
When we immerse ourselves in this word is, shape me.
00:19:49.003 --> 00:19:54.141
In this word is, shape me. don't just give me encouragement
00:19:54.208 --> 00:19:55.309
Don't just give me encouragement for the day.
00:19:55.376 --> 00:19:55.676
For the day. don't just give me
00:19:55.743 --> 00:19:56.210
Don't just give me wisdom for the moment.
00:19:56.277 --> 00:19:57.044
Wisdom for the moment. don't just give me light
00:19:57.111 --> 00:19:58.379
Don't just give me light for my path.
00:19:58.446 --> 00:19:59.413
For my path. shape me.
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.149
I want you, through this word,
00:20:02.250 --> 00:20:04.552
I want you, through this word, god, to shape my life.
00:20:04.619 --> 00:20:09.657
God, to shape my life. ephesians 5, paul's talking
00:20:09.724 --> 00:20:11.792
Ephesians 5, paul's talking about husbands
00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:12.693
About husbands loving their wives,
00:20:12.760 --> 00:20:13.527
Loving their wives, but he makes
00:20:13.594 --> 00:20:14.161
But he makes an interesting correlation.
00:20:14.228 --> 00:20:16.497
An interesting correlation. he says, "husbands, love your
00:20:16.564 --> 00:20:17.331
He says, "husbands, love your wives just as christ loved
00:20:17.398 --> 00:20:18.933
Wives just as christ loved the church and gave himself up
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.601
The church and gave himself up for her to make her holy."
00:20:20.668 --> 00:20:24.305
For her to make her holy." not to get her to heaven,
00:20:24.372 --> 00:20:25.072
Not to get her to heaven, but to make her holy.
00:20:25.139 --> 00:20:27.141
But to make her holy. "cleansing her by the washing
00:20:27.208 --> 00:20:29.677
"cleansing her by the washing with water through the word
00:20:29.744 --> 00:20:35.016
With water through the word and to present her to himself
00:20:35.082 --> 00:20:36.784
And to present her to himself as a radiant church."
00:20:36.851 --> 00:20:38.753
Here comes sanctification,
00:20:38.853 --> 00:20:40.054
Here comes sanctification, "without stain or wrinkle
00:20:40.121 --> 00:20:41.389
"without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish,
00:20:41.455 --> 00:20:42.857
Or any other blemish, but holy and blameless."
00:20:42.923 --> 00:20:48.029
But holy and blameless." how?
00:20:48.095 --> 00:20:48.996
How? by the washing with water
00:20:49.063 --> 00:20:51.499
By the washing with water through the word.
00:20:51.565 --> 00:20:53.567
Through the word. jesus said this.
00:20:53.634 --> 00:20:55.936
Jesus said this. he said, "i'm coming,'
00:20:56.003 --> 00:20:56.904
He said, "i'm coming,' he's talking to his father,
00:20:56.971 --> 00:20:58.572
He's talking to his father, "to you now, but i say these
00:20:58.639 --> 00:20:59.473
"to you now, but i say these things while i'm still
00:20:59.540 --> 00:21:00.508
Things while i'm still in the world so that they,
00:21:00.574 --> 00:21:02.443
In the world so that they, us, may have the full measure
00:21:02.510 --> 00:21:04.178
Us, may have the full measure of my joy within them."
00:21:04.245 --> 00:21:07.148
Of my joy within them." and then, look down to verse 15.
00:21:07.214 --> 00:21:09.317
And then, look down to verse 15. "my prayer is not that you
00:21:09.383 --> 00:21:10.584
"my prayer is not that you take them out of the world,
00:21:10.651 --> 00:21:12.019
Take them out of the world, but that you protect them
00:21:12.086 --> 00:21:13.421
But that you protect them from the evil one.
00:21:13.487 --> 00:21:15.623
From the evil one. they are not of the world,
00:21:15.690 --> 00:21:16.724
They are not of the world, even as i am not of it.
00:21:16.791 --> 00:21:18.326
Even as i am not of it. sanctify," there's our word,
00:21:18.392 --> 00:21:20.628
Sanctify," there's our word, "them by the truth.
00:21:20.695 --> 00:21:24.298
"them by the truth. your word is truth."
00:21:24.365 --> 00:21:27.268
Your word is truth." sanctify them
00:21:27.335 --> 00:21:28.869
Sanctify them by your word, father.
00:21:28.936 --> 00:21:34.041
By your word, father. "as you sent me into the world,
00:21:34.108 --> 00:21:35.042
"as you sent me into the world, i have sent them into the world.
00:21:35.109 --> 00:21:37.912
I have sent them into the world. and for them i sanctify myself."
00:21:37.978 --> 00:21:40.414
And for them i sanctify myself." so, jesus is doing what
00:21:40.481 --> 00:21:42.583
So, jesus is doing what he's asking us to do,
00:21:42.650 --> 00:21:43.918
He's asking us to do, "that they too may be truly
00:21:43.984 --> 00:21:46.787
"that they too may be truly sanctified by the word."
00:21:46.854 --> 00:21:50.324
Sanctified by the word." the second way we're
00:21:50.391 --> 00:21:51.258
The second way we're sanctified is to be woven
00:21:51.325 --> 00:21:52.727
Sanctified is to be woven into godly community.
00:21:52.793 --> 00:21:55.262
Into godly community. you will never
00:21:55.329 --> 00:21:56.063
Be sanctified alone.
00:21:56.163 --> 00:22:00.601
Be sanctified alone. sanctification is not
00:22:00.668 --> 00:22:02.470
Sanctification is not a solo endeavor.
00:22:02.536 --> 00:22:05.940
The proverb writer said it
00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:07.842
The proverb writer said it this way in proverbs 27,
00:22:07.908 --> 00:22:09.477
This way in proverbs 27, "as iron sharpens iron,
00:22:09.543 --> 00:22:11.779
"as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
00:22:11.846 --> 00:22:17.651
So one person sharpens another." that's why there is a body,
00:22:17.718 --> 00:22:18.886
That's why there is a body, and that's why there is
00:22:18.953 --> 00:22:20.121
And that's why there is a family of faith.
00:22:20.187 --> 00:22:22.156
A family of faith. and to be sanctified,
00:22:22.223 --> 00:22:23.691
And to be sanctified, you've got to be woven into,
00:22:23.758 --> 00:22:25.025
You've got to be woven into, not popping in and out of,
00:22:25.092 --> 00:22:26.327
Not popping in and out of, but woven into godly community.
00:22:26.394 --> 00:22:29.463
But woven into godly community. you've got to have people around
00:22:29.530 --> 00:22:30.498
You've got to have people around you who as iron sharpens iron,
00:22:30.564 --> 00:22:33.134
You who as iron sharpens iron, they are sharpening you.
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:34.301
They are sharpening you. and that sword, by the way,
00:22:34.368 --> 00:22:35.703
And that sword, by the way, beautifully has two edges.
00:22:35.770 --> 00:22:38.239
Beautifully has two edges. one of them is the one that
00:22:38.305 --> 00:22:39.173
One of them is the one that slices and goes, hey man,
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:40.007
Slices and goes, hey man, that's not it.
00:22:40.074 --> 00:22:41.442
That's not it. right?
00:22:41.509 --> 00:22:42.710
Right? you got that person?
00:22:42.777 --> 00:22:45.479
You got that person? yes?
00:22:45.546 --> 00:22:47.615
Yes? i'm sorry sister,
00:22:47.681 --> 00:22:48.215
I'm sorry sister, but that ain't it.
00:22:48.282 --> 00:22:51.585
But that ain't it. but there's another edge
00:22:51.652 --> 00:22:52.486
But there's another edge on that sword that cuts open
00:22:52.553 --> 00:22:54.889
On that sword that cuts open and says, hey, wow,
00:22:54.955 --> 00:22:56.690
And says, hey, wow, this is it.
00:22:56.757 --> 00:22:59.226
This is it. i'm thinking about
00:22:59.293 --> 00:23:00.027
I'm thinking about that passage where paul
00:23:00.094 --> 00:23:00.895
That passage where paul is writing about the height
00:23:00.961 --> 00:23:01.829
Is writing about the height and the depth and the breadth
00:23:01.896 --> 00:23:03.030
And the depth and the breadth and the length
00:23:03.097 --> 00:23:03.531
And the length of the love of god,
00:23:03.597 --> 00:23:04.498
Of the love of god, and he says that you
00:23:04.565 --> 00:23:05.332
And he says that you might be able,
00:23:05.399 --> 00:23:06.300
Might be able, talking in plural,
00:23:06.367 --> 00:23:07.935
Talking in plural, to comprehend with all
00:23:08.002 --> 00:23:09.403
To comprehend with all the saints the height
00:23:09.470 --> 00:23:11.839
The saints the height and the depth and the breadth
00:23:11.906 --> 00:23:13.174
And the depth and the breadth and the length
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:14.108
And the length of the love of god.
00:23:14.175 --> 00:23:14.775
Of the love of god. in other words, you're not
00:23:14.842 --> 00:23:15.476
In other words, you're not gonna get it unless
00:23:15.543 --> 00:23:16.343
Gonna get it unless you get it in community.
00:23:16.410 --> 00:23:19.146
You get it in community. you're not gonna
00:23:19.213 --> 00:23:19.613
You're not gonna get the fullness
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:20.080
Get the fullness of this in your closet.
00:23:20.147 --> 00:23:23.150
Of this in your closet. go in the closet,
00:23:23.217 --> 00:23:24.018
Go in the closet, but come out of there
00:23:24.084 --> 00:23:25.352
But come out of there and get woven into some
00:23:25.419 --> 00:23:26.053
And get woven into some other people.
00:23:26.120 --> 00:23:28.556
Other people. the third way we find
00:23:28.622 --> 00:23:30.724
The third way we find sanctification in our life
00:23:30.791 --> 00:23:32.026
Sanctification in our life is persevering through
00:23:32.092 --> 00:23:33.594
Is persevering through trial and training.
00:23:33.661 --> 00:23:39.433
Trial and training. james said,
00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:40.034
James said, "consider it pure joy,
00:23:40.100 --> 00:23:41.001
"consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,
00:23:41.068 --> 00:23:42.303
My brothers and sisters, whenever you face
00:23:42.369 --> 00:23:43.204
Whenever you face trials of many kinds."
00:23:43.270 --> 00:23:46.540
Trials of many kinds." how are you doing on that one?
00:23:46.607 --> 00:23:47.441
How are you doing on that one? i'm not doing so great
00:23:47.508 --> 00:23:48.776
I'm not doing so great on that one.
00:23:48.843 --> 00:23:50.444
On that one. yay!
00:23:50.511 --> 00:23:51.879
Another trial!
00:23:51.979 --> 00:23:54.949
Another trial! you're not gonna believe this,
00:23:55.015 --> 00:23:56.217
You're not gonna believe this, man, this is so amazing!
00:23:56.283 --> 00:23:57.585
Man, this is so amazing! i'm in it again!
00:23:57.651 --> 00:24:05.359
I'm in it again! why would we be joyous when
00:24:05.426 --> 00:24:08.195
Why would we be joyous when we face many kinds of trials?
00:24:08.262 --> 00:24:09.463
We face many kinds of trials? because you know,
00:24:09.530 --> 00:24:12.399
Because you know, and i do know this,
00:24:12.466 --> 00:24:14.902
And i do know this, i don't like it
00:24:14.969 --> 00:24:15.703
I don't like it and i often forget it,
00:24:15.769 --> 00:24:16.871
And i often forget it, but i do know this,
00:24:16.937 --> 00:24:19.106
But i do know this, that the testing of your faith
00:24:19.173 --> 00:24:21.609
Produces perseverance.
00:24:21.709 --> 00:24:23.844
Produces perseverance. in romans 8,
00:24:23.911 --> 00:24:25.179
In romans 8, that amazing promise,
00:24:25.246 --> 00:24:26.180
That amazing promise, "god works all things together
00:24:26.247 --> 00:24:27.681
"god works all things together for good to those who love
00:24:27.748 --> 00:24:29.250
For good to those who love the lord and are called
00:24:29.316 --> 00:24:30.184
The lord and are called according to his purpose,"
00:24:30.251 --> 00:24:32.520
According to his purpose," says in the very next phrase
00:24:32.586 --> 00:24:34.288
Says in the very next phrase that all of those he knew
00:24:34.355 --> 00:24:35.589
That all of those he knew were coming to salvation,
00:24:35.656 --> 00:24:36.690
Were coming to salvation, that his plan for them was
00:24:36.757 --> 00:24:38.225
That his plan for them was to be conformed to the image
00:24:38.292 --> 00:24:40.461
To be conformed to the image of his son, jesus christ.
00:24:40.528 --> 00:24:44.365
Of his son, jesus christ. and conforming is most often
00:24:44.431 --> 00:24:46.934
And conforming is most often not a gentle process.
00:24:47.001 --> 00:24:50.271
Not a gentle process. michelangelo, when they ask him
00:24:50.337 --> 00:24:52.573
Michelangelo, when they ask him about his amazing ability
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.108
About his amazing ability to sculpt, he said,
00:24:54.174 --> 00:24:55.709
To sculpt, he said, "i saw the angel in the marble
00:24:55.776 --> 00:24:57.711
"i saw the angel in the marble and i carved until
00:24:57.778 --> 00:24:59.813
And i carved until i set him free."
00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:06.153
I set him free." the last way we're sanctified
00:25:06.220 --> 00:25:07.321
The last way we're sanctified is surrendered in worship,
00:25:07.388 --> 00:25:10.658
And by worship i don't mean
00:25:10.758 --> 00:25:11.659
And by worship i don't mean singing songs before
00:25:11.725 --> 00:25:12.826
Singing songs before somebody comes up
00:25:12.893 --> 00:25:13.594
Somebody comes up and opens the word of god
00:25:13.661 --> 00:25:14.628
And opens the word of god and does a talk.
00:25:14.695 --> 00:25:16.463
And does a talk. i mean a life
00:25:16.530 --> 00:25:18.232
I mean a life that is surrendered.
00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:18.799
That is surrendered. in serving, you want
00:25:18.866 --> 00:25:20.501
In serving, you want to be sanctified,
00:25:20.568 --> 00:25:21.402
To be sanctified, you got to be serving somebody.
00:25:21.468 --> 00:25:24.338
You got to be serving somebody. there is no way around serving.
00:25:24.405 --> 00:25:30.744
And if you want
00:25:30.844 --> 00:25:31.278
And if you want to be more like jesus,
00:25:31.345 --> 00:25:32.413
To be more like jesus, then you've got to tell us
00:25:32.479 --> 00:25:33.981
Then you've got to tell us today where you're serving.
00:25:34.048 --> 00:25:36.884
Today where you're serving. where are you showing up
00:25:36.951 --> 00:25:37.685
Where are you showing up for free?
00:25:37.751 --> 00:25:39.887
For free? in serving somebody,
00:25:39.954 --> 00:25:42.256
In serving somebody, caring about people.
00:25:42.323 --> 00:25:43.557
Caring about people. it's in giving.
00:25:43.624 --> 00:25:45.192
It's in giving. it's not just the way that
00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:45.960
It's not just the way that we're able to do what we do,
00:25:46.026 --> 00:25:47.861
We're able to do what we do, it's an act of worship to god.
00:25:47.928 --> 00:25:51.498
It's an act of worship to god. it's in beholding.
00:25:51.565 --> 00:25:53.500
It's in beholding. it's in moments where
00:25:53.567 --> 00:25:55.402
It's in moments where you're taking on
00:25:55.469 --> 00:25:56.170
You're taking on glimpses of god almighty
00:25:56.236 --> 00:25:57.838
Glimpses of god almighty in the face of christ.
00:25:57.905 --> 00:26:00.441
In the face of christ. so that, as we've read
00:26:00.507 --> 00:26:01.909
So that, as we've read so many times in the psalms,
00:26:01.976 --> 00:26:03.811
So many times in the psalms, he said about those who
00:26:03.877 --> 00:26:04.979
He said about those who made those idols,
00:26:05.045 --> 00:26:05.713
Made those idols, he said, and all who make
00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:07.314
He said, and all who make them will become like them.
00:26:07.381 --> 00:26:09.049
Them will become like them. all who trust in them
00:26:09.116 --> 00:26:10.851
All who trust in them will be like them.
00:26:10.918 --> 00:26:12.219
Will be like them. so, ultimately,
00:26:12.286 --> 00:26:12.953
So, ultimately, that idol that has
00:26:13.020 --> 00:26:13.887
That idol that has eyes but can't see,
00:26:13.954 --> 00:26:14.922
