>> welcome to our tuesday's
00:00:27.016 --> 00:00:28.151
Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:28.151 --> 00:00:30.553
Today i'm continuing to teach on
00:00:30.553 --> 00:00:32.355
A series that i've entitled the
00:00:32.355 --> 00:00:33.823
True nature of god. the very
00:00:33.823 --> 00:00:36.359
Fact that i've entitled it the
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:37.694
True nature of god implies that
00:00:37.694 --> 00:00:41.264
There are false impressions
00:00:41.264 --> 00:00:43.900
About the nature of god,
00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:46.002
And i believe that that's so.
00:00:46.002 --> 00:00:47.270
God has been maligned and
00:00:47.337 --> 00:00:49.205
God has been maligned and misrepresented, and because of
00:00:49.272 --> 00:00:51.541
Misrepresented, and because of it, people don't want to get
00:00:51.608 --> 00:00:53.309
It, people don't want to get close to a god who's liable to
00:00:53.376 --> 00:00:55.245
Close to a god who's liable to make your child be a, you know,
00:00:55.311 --> 00:00:58.181
Make your child be a, you know, some kind of a quadriplegic
00:00:58.248 --> 00:00:59.949
Some kind of a quadriplegic because he loves you so much.
00:01:00.016 --> 00:01:02.285
Because he loves you so much. there's... religion says, those
00:01:02.352 --> 00:01:03.853
There's... religion says, those kind of things, that god is the
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.054
Kind of things, that god is the one who put all of this sickness
00:01:05.121 --> 00:01:06.756
One who put all of this sickness and disease, that god is the one
00:01:06.823 --> 00:01:08.258
And disease, that god is the one who causes all of this stuff.
00:01:08.324 --> 00:01:10.093
Who causes all of this stuff. that's a lie about god. that is
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:11.794
That's a lie about god. that is not the true nature of god. now,
00:01:11.861 --> 00:01:14.397
Not the true nature of god. now, there are some things in the
00:01:14.464 --> 00:01:15.565
There are some things in the bible, specifically, primarily
00:01:15.632 --> 00:01:17.634
Bible, specifically, primarily in the old testament, that
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.702
In the old testament, that reveal a harshness and a
00:01:19.769 --> 00:01:21.938
Reveal a harshness and a punishment of god, but there is
00:01:22.005 --> 00:01:24.440
Punishment of god, but there is a reason for that, and the very
00:01:24.507 --> 00:01:26.543
A reason for that, and the very fact that god waited 2,000 years
00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:30.146
Fact that god waited 2,000 years after adam and eve's sin in the
00:01:30.213 --> 00:01:32.615
After adam and eve's sin in the garden until he gave the law to
00:01:32.682 --> 00:01:35.118
Garden until he gave the law to moses, says volumes. it says
00:01:35.185 --> 00:01:38.121
Moses, says volumes. it says that it never was god's best to
00:01:38.188 --> 00:01:40.757
That it never was god's best to start revealing and punishing
00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:42.859
Start revealing and punishing our sin. but people began to
00:01:42.926 --> 00:01:45.028
Our sin. but people began to take god's lack of punishment
00:01:45.094 --> 00:01:47.130
Upon their sin as approval or at
00:01:48.865 --> 00:01:51.701
Upon their sin as approval or at the very least indifference
00:01:51.768 --> 00:01:53.269
The very least indifference towards sin. and because of it,
00:01:53.336 --> 00:01:55.371
Towards sin. and because of it, sin began to multiply in the
00:01:55.438 --> 00:01:56.973
Sin began to multiply in the earth, and man's lifespan came
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.342
Earth, and man's lifespan came from 969 years old, that was
00:01:59.409 --> 00:02:02.278
From 969 years old, that was methuselah, down to where people
00:02:02.345 --> 00:02:04.814
Methuselah, down to where people were dying at a very young age.
00:02:04.881 --> 00:02:06.583
Were dying at a very young age. and if god hadn't of put a limit
00:02:06.649 --> 00:02:08.484
And if god hadn't of put a limit on it, people would have been
00:02:08.551 --> 00:02:09.485
On it, people would have been dying even below 70 years of
00:02:09.552 --> 00:02:11.387
Dying even below 70 years of age. but moses came along
00:02:11.454 --> 00:02:13.756
And said in psalms, chapter 90,
00:02:13.823 --> 00:02:15.892
And said in psalms, chapter 90, he says, a m... days of a man's
00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:17.160
He says, a m... days of a man's life are threescore years and
00:02:17.227 --> 00:02:18.795
Life are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of
00:02:18.861 --> 00:02:20.630
Ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore
00:02:20.697 --> 00:02:22.232
Strength they be fourscore years, yet is their time...
00:02:22.298 --> 00:02:23.366
Years, yet is their time... their days of labor and travail.
00:02:23.433 --> 00:02:25.835
And so, if god hadn't of put a
00:02:25.902 --> 00:02:28.004
And so, if god hadn't of put a minimum on it, people would have
00:02:28.071 --> 00:02:29.372
Minimum on it, people would have been dying even much younger
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:30.940
Been dying even much younger than that. and so, because
00:02:31.007 --> 00:02:34.210
Than that. and so, because people were not seeing the
00:02:34.277 --> 00:02:37.280
People were not seeing the damage that sin was doing,
00:02:37.347 --> 00:02:38.214
And i... i shared these things
00:02:38.848 --> 00:02:40.250
On previous broadcasts,
00:02:40.250 --> 00:02:41.384
But just real quickly, it
00:02:41.384 --> 00:02:42.418
Wasn't only god, a vertical
00:02:42.418 --> 00:02:44.621
Judgment upon sin, that sin
00:02:44.687 --> 00:02:47.056
Judgment upon sin, that sin was worthy of. now, god
00:02:47.123 --> 00:02:48.992
Was worthy of. now, god basically for the first 2,000
00:02:49.058 --> 00:02:51.461
Basically for the first 2,000 years did not impute man's
00:02:51.527 --> 00:02:54.030
Years did not impute man's sins unto them, romans,
00:02:54.097 --> 00:02:55.365
Sins unto them, romans, chapter 5, verse 13, i've used
00:02:55.431 --> 00:02:57.166
Chapter 5, verse 13, i've used that verse a lot in this
00:02:57.233 --> 00:02:58.701
Series. until the law sin was
00:02:58.768 --> 00:03:01.070
Series. until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not
00:03:01.137 --> 00:03:02.372
In the world: but sin is not imputed where there is
00:03:02.438 --> 00:03:04.173
Imputed where there is no law. and so for the
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:05.808
First 2,000 years, god basically
00:03:05.875 --> 00:03:08.911
First 2,000 years, god basically was not punishing people's sins
00:03:08.978 --> 00:03:12.115
Was not punishing people's sins the way that we see under the
00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:13.816
The way that we see under the old testament law. but when the
00:03:13.883 --> 00:03:15.685
Old testament law. but when the law came, boy, the wrath of god
00:03:15.752 --> 00:03:18.521
Law came, boy, the wrath of god began to start being poured out.
00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:20.390
Began to start being poured out. and so some people think, so did
00:03:20.456 --> 00:03:21.758
And so some people think, so did god change? no, he was the same
00:03:21.824 --> 00:03:23.893
God change? no, he was the same all of the time. he wanted to be
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.461
All of the time. he wanted to be merciful to us. that is his true
00:03:25.528 --> 00:03:27.997
Merciful to us. that is his true nature and character. 1 john,
00:03:28.064 --> 00:03:29.932
Nature and character. 1 john, chapter 4, verses 8 and 16 says,
00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:32.268
Chapter 4, verses 8 and 16 says, that god is love. that is who he
00:03:32.335 --> 00:03:35.271
That god is love. that is who he is. love is not just something
00:03:35.338 --> 00:03:37.206
Is. love is not just something that he has. that is his true
00:03:37.273 --> 00:03:39.676
That he has. that is his true nature, and he was merciful and
00:03:39.742 --> 00:03:41.544
Nature, and he was merciful and being kind towards people, even
00:03:41.611 --> 00:03:43.846
Being kind towards people, even though they were terrible
00:03:43.913 --> 00:03:45.348
Though they were terrible towards him. but because they
00:03:45.415 --> 00:03:47.917
Towards him. but because they were taking his lack of
00:03:47.984 --> 00:03:49.886
Were taking his lack of punishment and lack of judgment
00:03:49.952 --> 00:03:53.790
Punishment and lack of judgment upon their sin, and they were
00:03:53.856 --> 00:03:55.558
Upon their sin, and they were just going out and... and
00:03:55.625 --> 00:03:57.160
Just going out and... and throwing caution to the wind and
00:03:57.226 --> 00:03:58.728
Throwing caution to the wind and living in sin, they were
00:03:58.795 --> 00:03:59.829
Living in sin, they were corrupting their own conscience,
00:03:59.896 --> 00:04:02.065
Corrupting their own conscience, that gave them a... a proper
00:04:02.131 --> 00:04:04.267
That gave them a... a proper value of what was right and
00:04:04.334 --> 00:04:05.868
Value of what was right and wrong. and because of it, satan
00:04:05.935 --> 00:04:08.004
Wrong. and because of it, satan was destroying the human race.
00:04:08.071 --> 00:04:09.739
Was destroying the human race. and god had to do something to
00:04:09.806 --> 00:04:12.809
And god had to do something to limit the multiplication of sin,
00:04:12.875 --> 00:04:15.411
Limit the multiplication of sin, or there wouldn't have been a
00:04:15.478 --> 00:04:16.412
Or there wouldn't have been a virgin left for jesus to come
00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:18.414
Virgin left for jesus to come into this earth through. and so
00:04:18.481 --> 00:04:20.249
Into this earth through. and so what he did was give the law.
00:04:20.316 --> 00:04:21.784
What he did was give the law. and the law gave god's proper
00:04:21.851 --> 00:04:23.686
And the law gave god's proper standard. it showed us just how
00:04:23.753 --> 00:04:27.423
Standard. it showed us just how holy and pure he was, and it was
00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:29.926
Holy and pure he was, and it was far beyond our reach. no
00:04:29.992 --> 00:04:32.061
Far beyond our reach. no corrupted person who's ever been
00:04:32.128 --> 00:04:34.497
Corrupted person who's ever been born in sin could ever do enough
00:04:34.564 --> 00:04:37.367
Born in sin could ever do enough to measure up to god's standard.
00:04:37.433 --> 00:04:39.502
To measure up to god's standard. but he showed us this to do a
00:04:39.569 --> 00:04:41.437
But he showed us this to do a number of things. one, it took
00:04:41.504 --> 00:04:42.905
Number of things. one, it took away our self-righteousness and
00:04:42.972 --> 00:04:45.675
Away our self-righteousness and kept us from feeling, that god,
00:04:45.742 --> 00:04:47.443
Kept us from feeling, that god, you owe me something. if we got
00:04:47.510 --> 00:04:49.379
You owe me something. if we got what we were owed, we'd all go
00:04:49.445 --> 00:04:51.381
What we were owed, we'd all go to hell. god... it... it's only
00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:53.950
To hell. god... it... it's only through mercy; it's only through
00:04:54.016 --> 00:04:55.518
Through mercy; it's only through grace that we can ever have any
00:04:55.585 --> 00:04:58.054
Grace that we can ever have any relationship with god. and any
00:04:58.121 --> 00:05:00.289
Relationship with god. and any person that thinks that they are
00:05:00.356 --> 00:05:01.758
Person that thinks that they are so holy that somehow or another
00:05:01.824 --> 00:05:03.359
So holy that somehow or another god owes them something, well,
00:05:03.426 --> 00:05:06.929
God owes them something, well, man, you have totally missed it.
00:05:06.996 --> 00:05:09.499
Man, you have totally missed it. and so one of the things that
00:05:09.565 --> 00:05:10.833
And so one of the things that the law accomplished, it gave
00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:12.268
The law accomplished, it gave god's perfect standard of what
00:05:12.335 --> 00:05:14.704
God's perfect standard of what holiness was, and it condemned
00:05:14.771 --> 00:05:17.173
Holiness was, and it condemned every single one of us. it took
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.075
Every single one of us. it took away our self-righteousness, and
00:05:19.142 --> 00:05:21.711
Away our self-righteousness, and that was necessary because we
00:05:21.778 --> 00:05:24.046
That was necessary because we were thinking that i don't need
00:05:24.113 --> 00:05:25.415
Were thinking that i don't need god, i'm good enough. and we see
00:05:25.481 --> 00:05:27.483
God, i'm good enough. and we see a lot of people today who are
00:05:27.550 --> 00:05:29.685
A lot of people today who are ex... espousing things like
00:05:29.752 --> 00:05:32.155
Ex... espousing things like that, thinking that they are
00:05:32.221 --> 00:05:33.389
That, thinking that they are good enough and that they don't
00:05:33.456 --> 00:05:35.291
Good enough and that they don't need god and they are
00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:36.292
Need god and they are maintaining their own
00:05:36.359 --> 00:05:37.460
Maintaining their own righteousness more than god's.
00:05:37.527 --> 00:05:39.462
Righteousness more than god's. boy, the law is made for people
00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:41.631
Boy, the law is made for people like that. and so it served a
00:05:41.697 --> 00:05:43.900
Like that. and so it served a purpose, but it also had these
00:05:43.966 --> 00:05:45.501
Purpose, but it also had these negative side effects to it.
00:05:45.568 --> 00:05:47.603
Negative side effects to it. it's like on television, if you
00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:48.938
It's like on television, if you see one of these commercials for
00:05:49.005 --> 00:05:50.840
See one of these commercials for some, you know, medicine.
00:05:50.907 --> 00:05:52.742
Some, you know, medicine. they'll say, take this, but then
00:05:52.809 --> 00:05:54.076
They'll say, take this, but then they put all these disclaimers
00:05:54.143 --> 00:05:55.578
They put all these disclaimers on it, that it could cause this
00:05:55.645 --> 00:05:56.913
On it, that it could cause this problem and this problem and
00:05:56.979 --> 00:05:57.980
Problem and this problem and this problem. nearly everything
00:05:58.047 --> 00:05:59.482
This problem. nearly everything that they have to treat
00:05:59.549 --> 00:06:01.150
That they have to treat something has side effects to
00:06:01.217 --> 00:06:02.852
Something has side effects to it. well, the law had a side
00:06:02.919 --> 00:06:04.620
It. well, the law had a side effect to it, and one of them
00:06:04.687 --> 00:06:06.289
Effect to it, and one of them was condemnation. people just
00:06:06.355 --> 00:06:08.491
Was condemnation. people just felt so condemned that they...
00:06:08.558 --> 00:06:10.793
Felt so condemned that they... cer... certainly, if they really
00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:12.695
Cer... certainly, if they really came under the law and embraced
00:06:12.762 --> 00:06:15.498
Came under the law and embraced the things that the law said, it
00:06:15.565 --> 00:06:18.234
The things that the law said, it made them turn away from sin, at
00:06:18.301 --> 00:06:20.803
Made them turn away from sin, at least to some degree, to the
00:06:20.870 --> 00:06:22.538
Least to some degree, to the degree that they really believed
00:06:22.605 --> 00:06:24.073
Degree that they really believed it. and so it did accomplish
00:06:24.140 --> 00:06:26.943
It. and so it did accomplish that, but it also brought such
00:06:27.009 --> 00:06:28.878
That, but it also brought such condemnation that people just
00:06:28.945 --> 00:06:30.746
Condemnation that people just weren't enjoying the goodness of
00:06:30.813 --> 00:06:33.015
Weren't enjoying the goodness of god. again, i go back to the
00:06:33.082 --> 00:06:34.717
God. again, i go back to the verses in 1 john 4:8 and16, that
00:06:34.784 --> 00:06:37.687
Verses in 1 john 4:8 and16, that god is love, and god wanted to
00:06:37.753 --> 00:06:40.156
God is love, and god wanted to love us and treat us just as if
00:06:40.223 --> 00:06:42.792
Love us and treat us just as if we had never sinned. he was
00:06:42.859 --> 00:06:45.561
We had never sinned. he was willing to do that, but he
00:06:45.628 --> 00:06:46.729
Willing to do that, but he couldn't just turn a blind eye
00:06:46.796 --> 00:06:48.264
Couldn't just turn a blind eye and say, well, i'm not going
00:06:48.331 --> 00:06:49.432
And say, well, i'm not going to do this. no, he is just,
00:06:49.499 --> 00:06:51.567
To do this. no, he is just, he's holy. sin had a payment.
00:06:51.634 --> 00:06:54.704
The lord told adam and eve, in
00:06:54.770 --> 00:06:57.173
The lord told adam and eve, in the day you eat of that tree of
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:58.975
The day you eat of that tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
00:06:59.041 --> 00:07:00.209
The knowledge of good and evil, you shall surely die. they
00:07:00.276 --> 00:07:03.012
Didn't die in their physical
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:04.113
Didn't die in their physical bodies until 930 years
00:07:04.180 --> 00:07:06.215
Bodies until 930 years later, but they did die
00:07:06.282 --> 00:07:07.750
Later, but they did die spiritually, emotionally.
00:07:07.817 --> 00:07:10.052
Spiritually, emotionally. they became separated from
00:07:10.119 --> 00:07:11.787
They became separated from god, and they began to
00:07:11.854 --> 00:07:13.489
God, and they began to experience fear. that was the
00:07:13.556 --> 00:07:15.691
Experience fear. that was the very first thing adam said.
00:07:15.758 --> 00:07:17.426
He says, we were afraid
00:07:17.493 --> 00:07:19.128
He says, we were afraid and we hid ourselves.
00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:20.096
And we hid ourselves. they experienced shame.
00:07:20.162 --> 00:07:21.397
They tried to cover their
00:07:21.464 --> 00:07:22.999
They tried to cover their nakedness. and all of these
00:07:23.065 --> 00:07:24.867
Nakedness. and all of these things came as... as a result of
00:07:24.934 --> 00:07:27.036
Things came as... as a result of their sin. god was wanting to
00:07:27.103 --> 00:07:29.238
Their sin. god was wanting to just extend mercy to them. he
00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:31.674
Just extend mercy to them. he actually made coats for them,
00:07:31.741 --> 00:07:34.210
Actually made coats for them, clothes for them. he killed an
00:07:34.277 --> 00:07:35.745
Clothes for them. he killed an animal and clothed them. and i
00:07:35.811 --> 00:07:37.246
Animal and clothed them. and i can guarantee it wasn't some
00:07:37.313 --> 00:07:38.714
Can guarantee it wasn't some primitive thing. i believe that
00:07:38.781 --> 00:07:40.716
Primitive thing. i believe that god was the best tailor that
00:07:40.783 --> 00:07:42.685
God was the best tailor that ever was. these were probably
00:07:42.752 --> 00:07:44.020
Ever was. these were probably some very nice looking clothes,
00:07:44.086 --> 00:07:46.389
Some very nice looking clothes, and god treated them better than
00:07:46.455 --> 00:07:48.624
And god treated them better than they could treat themself. he
00:07:48.691 --> 00:07:50.459
They could treat themself. he was willing to still have
00:07:50.526 --> 00:07:51.961
Was willing to still have relationship with them, but
00:07:52.028 --> 00:07:53.963
Relationship with them, but people began to take god's lack
00:07:54.030 --> 00:07:56.032
People began to take god's lack of punishment as just
00:07:56.098 --> 00:07:57.366
Of punishment as just indifference. they began to let
00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:59.035
Indifference. they began to let sin multiply, and it was
00:07:59.101 --> 00:08:01.203
Sin multiply, and it was destroying the human race, so
00:08:01.270 --> 00:08:02.772
Destroying the human race, so god finally, 2,000 years later,
00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:06.075
God finally, 2,000 years later, started revealing his wrath and
00:08:06.142 --> 00:08:08.477
Started revealing his wrath and his punishment against sin, and
00:08:08.544 --> 00:08:11.447
His punishment against sin, and it was not his first response.
00:08:11.514 --> 00:08:13.583
It was not his first response. his first response was to still
00:08:13.649 --> 00:08:15.484
His first response was to still cover their shame, to still
00:08:15.551 --> 00:08:17.453
Cover their shame, to still minister unto them, to be
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:18.854
Minister unto them, to be merciful unto them, but he
00:08:18.921 --> 00:08:21.223
Merciful unto them, but he eventually revealed his wrath to
00:08:21.290 --> 00:08:23.693
Eventually revealed his wrath to take away our deception about
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.228
Take away our deception about sin, thinking that it really
00:08:26.295 --> 00:08:27.730
Sin, thinking that it really wasn't that bad, and it took
00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:29.899
Wasn't that bad, and it took away that deception. it also
00:08:29.966 --> 00:08:31.367
Away that deception. it also took away any deception that we
00:08:31.434 --> 00:08:33.336
Took away any deception that we could ever please god on our
00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:35.104
Could ever please god on our own, that we... you know, even
00:08:35.171 --> 00:08:37.340
Own, that we... you know, even if we could somehow or another
00:08:37.406 --> 00:08:38.507
If we could somehow or another never sin again, that wouldn't
00:08:38.574 --> 00:08:40.209
Never sin again, that wouldn't do away with the sin that we've
00:08:40.276 --> 00:08:41.644
Do away with the sin that we've already committed. for us to
00:08:41.711 --> 00:08:43.679
Already committed. for us to have relationship with god, we
00:08:43.746 --> 00:08:47.016
Have relationship with god, we would have to be totally free
00:08:47.083 --> 00:08:48.384
Would have to be totally free from sin and god wouldn't just
00:08:48.451 --> 00:08:50.052
From sin and god wouldn't just look the other way, that would
00:08:50.119 --> 00:08:51.087
Look the other way, that would have been unjust. that would
00:08:51.153 --> 00:08:52.722
Have been unjust. that would have made what he told them
00:08:52.788 --> 00:08:53.956
Have made what he told them about, in the day you eat
00:08:54.023 --> 00:08:55.057
About, in the day you eat thereof, you shall surely die,
00:08:55.124 --> 00:08:56.492
Thereof, you shall surely die, that would have made him a liar,
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.127
That would have made him a liar, and god does not lie. and so,
00:08:58.194 --> 00:09:01.397
And god does not lie. and so, the law revealed to us our sin,
00:09:01.464 --> 00:09:05.067
The law revealed to us our sin, turned us from
00:09:05.134 --> 00:09:05.935
Turned us from self-righteousness. it limited
00:09:06.002 --> 00:09:08.337
Self-righteousness. it limited satan's inroad into our life
00:09:08.404 --> 00:09:10.406
Satan's inroad into our life because he's... that's how he
00:09:10.473 --> 00:09:11.807
Because he's... that's how he gained access to us is through
00:09:11.874 --> 00:09:13.409
Gained access to us is through our individual acts of sin. and
00:09:13.476 --> 00:09:16.512
Our individual acts of sin. and so those are positive things,
00:09:16.579 --> 00:09:17.913
So those are positive things, but it also brought some very
00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:19.315
But it also brought some very negative things. so in the new
00:09:19.382 --> 00:09:21.584
Negative things. so in the new testament, there are many, many
00:09:21.651 --> 00:09:23.853
Testament, there are many, many scriptures that talk about, we
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.022
Scriptures that talk about, we are delivered from the law. we
00:09:26.088 --> 00:09:28.791
Are delivered from the law. we are not under this
00:09:28.858 --> 00:09:30.159
Are not under this performance-based relationship
00:09:30.226 --> 00:09:32.728
Performance-based relationship with god anymore. and i'm aware
00:09:32.795 --> 00:09:35.765
With god anymore. and i'm aware that that statement i made right
00:09:35.831 --> 00:09:37.500
That that statement i made right there just offended many, many
00:09:37.566 --> 00:09:40.236
There just offended many, many people all over the world.
00:09:40.302 --> 00:09:42.405
I mean, this program can be seen
00:09:43.072 --> 00:09:45.174
By 6.5 billion people around the
00:09:45.174 --> 00:09:47.943
World in all of the nations,
00:09:47.943 --> 00:09:50.579
And i can guarantee you
00:09:50.579 --> 00:09:51.714
It is prevalent. people believe
00:09:51.781 --> 00:09:53.516
It is prevalent. people believe that you have to perform
00:09:53.582 --> 00:09:55.484
That you have to perform properly in order to have
00:09:55.551 --> 00:09:57.153
Properly in order to have relationship with god. you might
00:09:57.219 --> 00:09:59.221
Relationship with god. you might get saved by grace, but then
00:09:59.288 --> 00:10:01.691
Get saved by grace, but then you're maintained by your
00:10:01.757 --> 00:10:03.259
You're maintained by your performance. you might come to
00:10:03.325 --> 00:10:05.027
Performance. you might come to the lord and say, just as i am
00:10:05.094 --> 00:10:07.096
The lord and say, just as i am without one plea, and you might
00:10:07.163 --> 00:10:08.764
Without one plea, and you might get born again right in the
00:10:08.831 --> 00:10:10.266
Get born again right in the midst of your sin, but now that
00:10:10.332 --> 00:10:12.268
Midst of your sin, but now that you're a believer, you have to
00:10:12.334 --> 00:10:14.437
You're a believer, you have to live holy, or god won't bless
00:10:14.503 --> 00:10:16.405
Live holy, or god won't bless you, god won't fellowship with
00:10:16.472 --> 00:10:17.940
You, god won't fellowship with you, god won't answer your
00:10:18.007 --> 00:10:19.175
You, god won't answer your prayers. instead, he will punish
00:10:19.241 --> 00:10:21.444
Prayers. instead, he will punish you, he will put sickness on
00:10:21.510 --> 00:10:22.912
You, he will put sickness on you. he's liable to let you just
00:10:22.978 --> 00:10:24.847
You. he's liable to let you just stew in your juice. if you have
00:10:24.914 --> 00:10:26.982
Stew in your juice. if you have something wrong, he's not even
00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:28.517
Something wrong, he's not even going to answer. he's not going
00:10:28.584 --> 00:10:29.819
Going to answer. he's not going to pay any attention because
00:10:29.885 --> 00:10:31.620
To pay any attention because you've got sin in your life.
00:10:31.687 --> 00:10:33.122
You've got sin in your life. that's what religion is
00:10:33.189 --> 00:10:34.290
That's what religion is teaching, and that is not
00:10:34.356 --> 00:10:35.891
Teaching, and that is not what the word of god teaches.
00:10:35.958 --> 00:10:38.127
What the word of god teaches. jesus paid for our sins, and
00:10:38.194 --> 00:10:40.229
Jesus paid for our sins, and i'm going to say some things
00:10:40.296 --> 00:10:41.063
Right here, that again, you need
00:10:41.731 --> 00:10:43.466
To get these materials. you need
00:10:43.466 --> 00:10:45.000
To go listen to all of the
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.402
Programs because this is just
00:10:46.402 --> 00:10:48.604
Off the charts wrong compared to
00:10:48.604 --> 00:10:51.741
Most christian's theology.
00:10:51.741 --> 00:10:53.976
But jesus paid for all of our
00:10:54.043 --> 00:10:55.745
But jesus paid for all of our sins, past, present, and even
00:10:55.811 --> 00:10:57.747
Sins, past, present, and even future sins. when you got born
00:10:57.813 --> 00:11:00.049
Future sins. when you got born again, you weren't just forgiven
00:11:00.116 --> 00:11:01.584
Again, you weren't just forgiven of the sins up until the moment
00:11:01.650 --> 00:11:03.652
Of the sins up until the moment that you got saved, and then
00:11:03.719 --> 00:11:05.054
That you got saved, and then every sin that you commit after
00:11:05.121 --> 00:11:07.389
Every sin that you commit after that has to be individually
00:11:07.456 --> 00:11:09.158
That has to be individually dealt with and atoned for.
00:11:09.225 --> 00:11:12.094
Dealt with and atoned for. that's basically what the
00:11:12.161 --> 00:11:13.229
That's basically what the average christian believes, that
00:11:13.295 --> 00:11:14.764
Average christian believes, that every time you sin, it's a new
00:11:14.830 --> 00:11:16.365
Every time you sin, it's a new offense between you and god. and
00:11:16.432 --> 00:11:19.235
Offense between you and god. and some people will say that you
00:11:19.301 --> 00:11:20.736
Some people will say that you lose your salvation every time
00:11:20.803 --> 00:11:22.404
Lose your salvation every time you sin and you've got to get
00:11:22.471 --> 00:11:23.506
You sin and you've got to get born again again, which the
00:11:23.572 --> 00:11:24.974
Born again again, which the bible doesn't teach that. or
00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:27.409
Bible doesn't teach that. or many evangelicals will say,
00:11:27.476 --> 00:11:28.911
Many evangelicals will say, well, you won't lose your
00:11:28.978 --> 00:11:30.079
Well, you won't lose your salvation, you'll still go to
00:11:30.146 --> 00:11:31.647
Salvation, you'll still go to heaven, but you can't have god
00:11:31.714 --> 00:11:33.282
Heaven, but you can't have god fellowship with you, he won't
00:11:33.349 --> 00:11:35.017
Fellowship with you, he won't bless you, he won't answer your
00:11:35.084 --> 00:11:36.418
Bless you, he won't answer your prayers, and he certainly won't
00:11:36.485 --> 00:11:37.820
Prayers, and he certainly won't use you if you've got any sin in
00:11:37.887 --> 00:11:40.089
Use you if you've got any sin in your life. that is old testament
00:11:40.156 --> 00:11:43.592
Your life. that is old testament way of thinking of things. every
00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:45.361
Way of thinking of things. every time a person sinned, even those
00:11:45.427 --> 00:11:47.296
Time a person sinned, even those who had a relationship with god,
00:11:47.363 --> 00:11:50.099
Who had a relationship with god, they had to offer a new
00:11:50.166 --> 00:11:51.867
They had to offer a new sacrifice for every individual
00:11:51.934 --> 00:11:54.236
Sacrifice for every individual sin. and each sin had to be
00:11:54.303 --> 00:11:56.605
Sin. and each sin had to be atoned for separately. but under
00:11:56.672 --> 00:11:58.941
Atoned for separately. but under the new covenant, i'm going to
00:11:59.008 --> 00:12:00.042
The new covenant, i'm going to be sharing these scriptures with
00:12:00.109 --> 00:12:01.443
Be sharing these scriptures with you, not today, but as i
00:12:01.510 --> 00:12:02.845
You, not today, but as i continue through this series,
00:12:02.912 --> 00:12:04.680
Continue through this series, i'm going to show you that
00:12:04.747 --> 00:12:05.681
I'm going to show you that you've been forgiven of all sin,
00:12:05.748 --> 00:12:07.249
You've been forgiven of all sin, past, present, and even sins
00:12:07.316 --> 00:12:09.185
Past, present, and even sins that you hadn't committed yet.
00:12:09.251 --> 00:12:10.452
That you hadn't committed yet. god forgave you of all sins. and
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.255
God forgave you of all sins. and somebody says, how could god
00:12:13.322 --> 00:12:14.623
Somebody says, how could god forgive us of a sin before we
00:12:14.690 --> 00:12:16.058
Forgive us of a sin before we commit it? well, you better pray
00:12:16.125 --> 00:12:17.860
Commit it? well, you better pray that he can, because he only
00:12:17.927 --> 00:12:19.161
That he can, because he only died for your sins one time
00:12:19.228 --> 00:12:21.197
Died for your sins one time 2,000 years ago, and if he can't
00:12:21.263 --> 00:12:24.867
2,000 years ago, and if he can't forgive a sin before you commit
00:12:24.934 --> 00:12:26.535
Forgive a sin before you commit it, then you and i can't be
00:12:26.602 --> 00:12:27.870
It, then you and i can't be forgiven. all of our sins were
00:12:27.937 --> 00:12:30.172
Forgiven. all of our sins were future sins at that time,
00:12:30.239 --> 00:12:31.974
Future sins at that time, and yet he dealt with
00:12:32.041 --> 00:12:33.175
And yet he dealt with all sins of all people.
00:12:33.242 --> 00:12:36.045
It says in 1 john, chapter 2,
00:12:36.111 --> 00:12:38.280
It says in 1 john, chapter 2, verse 2, that he is the
00:12:38.347 --> 00:12:39.615
Verse 2, that he is the propitiation, the word
00:12:39.682 --> 00:12:40.983
Propitiation, the word propitiation means atoning
00:12:41.050 --> 00:12:42.618
Propitiation means atoning sacrifice, for our sins:
00:12:42.685 --> 00:12:44.920
Sacrifice, for our sins: and not for ours only, but
00:12:44.987 --> 00:12:46.488
And not for ours only, but also for the sins of the
00:12:46.555 --> 00:12:48.390
Also for the sins of the whole world. jesus paid
00:12:48.457 --> 00:12:50.459
For everybody's sins. now, not
00:12:50.526 --> 00:12:52.795
For everybody's sins. now, not everybody's saved because
00:12:52.862 --> 00:12:53.963
Everybody's saved because not everybody puts faith
00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:55.831
Not everybody puts faith in what he did by grace.
00:12:55.898 --> 00:12:58.100
It says in romans, chapter 5,
00:12:58.167 --> 00:12:59.869
It says in romans, chapter 5, verse 2, that we have access by
00:12:59.935 --> 00:13:03.172
Verse 2, that we have access by faith into this grace wherein
00:13:03.239 --> 00:13:05.808
Faith into this grace wherein we stand. god's grace
00:13:05.875 --> 00:13:07.877
Paid for the sins of the
00:13:07.943 --> 00:13:10.312
Paid for the sins of the entire world, but we have
00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:12.815
Entire world, but we have to put faith in it.
00:13:12.882 --> 00:13:14.116
It says in ephesians, chapter
00:13:14.183 --> 00:13:15.684
It says in ephesians, chapter 2, verse 8, by grace are you
00:13:15.751 --> 00:13:18.254
2, verse 8, by grace are you saved through faith.
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.056
Grace is what god does, and he
00:13:21.123 --> 00:13:23.125
Grace is what god does, and he did it for everybody and it's
00:13:23.192 --> 00:13:24.793
Did it for everybody and it's not dependent upon their
00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:26.228
Not dependent upon their performance, but faith is how we
00:13:26.295 --> 00:13:29.031
Performance, but faith is how we access that grace. and if we
00:13:29.098 --> 00:13:31.567
Access that grace. and if we don't put faith in what god did,
00:13:31.634 --> 00:13:33.602
Don't put faith in what god did, even though he paid for our
00:13:33.669 --> 00:13:34.837
Even though he paid for our sins, it will benefit us nothing
00:13:34.904 --> 00:13:37.406
Sins, it will benefit us nothing unless we receive it by faith.
00:13:37.473 --> 00:13:40.009
Unless we receive it by faith. we have to make jesus christ our
00:13:40.075 --> 00:13:42.711
We have to make jesus christ our lord. we have to trust in him.
00:13:42.778 --> 00:13:44.480
Lord. we have to trust in him. but when we do that, he forgave
00:13:44.546 --> 00:13:46.482
But when we do that, he forgave us of all sin, past, present,
00:13:46.548 --> 00:13:49.018
Us of all sin, past, present, and even future sins. boy, the
00:13:49.084 --> 00:13:52.922
And even future sins. boy, the things that i've said right
00:13:52.988 --> 00:13:53.989
Things that i've said right here, this is just so radical.
00:13:54.056 --> 00:13:56.525
Here, this is just so radical. it is radical. very, very few
00:13:56.592 --> 00:13:58.627
It is radical. very, very few people understand this, and
00:13:58.694 --> 00:13:59.895
People understand this, and because of it, they live in a
00:13:59.962 --> 00:14:01.797
Because of it, they live in a constant state of condemnation.
00:14:01.864 --> 00:14:04.800
Constant state of condemnation. let me share some scriptures
00:14:04.867 --> 00:14:06.201
Let me share some scriptures with you. i encourage you to
00:14:06.268 --> 00:14:08.070
With you. i encourage you to please look this up in your
00:14:08.137 --> 00:14:09.838
Please look this up in your bible. you need to check this
00:14:09.905 --> 00:14:11.473
Bible. you need to check this out because some people will
00:14:11.540 --> 00:14:12.975
Out because some people will think, i... many of you probably
00:14:13.042 --> 00:14:14.910
Think, i... many of you probably who have listened to what i've
00:14:14.977 --> 00:14:16.378
Who have listened to what i've said today are thinking, boy,
00:14:16.445 --> 00:14:18.047
Said today are thinking, boy, you are way off base, that is
00:14:18.113 --> 00:14:19.782
You are way off base, that is wrong. i'm going to share
00:14:19.848 --> 00:14:20.649
Wrong. i'm going to share scriptures with you. everything
00:14:20.716 --> 00:14:22.017
Scriptures with you. everything i've said is based on scripture.
00:14:22.084 --> 00:14:24.353
And sad to say, most people
00:14:26.822 --> 00:14:29.525
And sad to say, most people don't let the bible get in the
00:14:29.591 --> 00:14:31.126
Don't let the bible get in the way of what they believe. but if
00:14:31.193 --> 00:14:33.329
Way of what they believe. but if you believe in the bible, if you
00:14:33.395 --> 00:14:34.730
You believe in the bible, if you believe this is god's word, and
00:14:34.797 --> 00:14:36.398
Believe this is god's word, and if you believe this is accurate,
00:14:36.465 --> 00:14:38.033
If you believe this is accurate, this is the plumb line, this is
00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:40.035
This is the plumb line, this is the standard of truth, and if
00:14:40.102 --> 00:14:42.871
The standard of truth, and if you are going to take the truth
00:14:42.938 --> 00:14:44.373
You are going to take the truth of god's word and conform your
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.909
Of god's word and conform your life to what the word says
00:14:46.976 --> 00:14:48.344
Life to what the word says instead of cherry picking and
00:14:48.410 --> 00:14:49.712
Instead of cherry picking and trying to make the word of god
00:14:49.778 --> 00:14:51.113
Trying to make the word of god say what you want it to say, if
00:14:51.180 --> 00:14:53.215
Say what you want it to say, if you're going to do that, if
00:14:53.282 --> 00:14:54.316
You're going to do that, if you're going to put god's word
00:14:54.383 --> 00:14:55.517
You're going to put god's word first, these verses are going
00:14:55.584 --> 00:14:58.053
First, these verses are going to really confront a lot
00:14:58.120 --> 00:14:59.955
To really confront a lot of religious thinking.
00:15:00.022 --> 00:15:01.290
Let me start here in 1
00:15:01.357 --> 00:15:02.925
Let me start here in 1 corinthians, chapter 15, verse
00:15:02.992 --> 00:15:04.526
Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 55. it says, o death, where is
00:15:04.593 --> 00:15:06.996
55. it says, o death, where is thy sting? o grave, where is thy
00:15:07.062 --> 00:15:09.298
Thy sting? o grave, where is thy victory? and if you take this
00:15:09.365 --> 00:15:10.766
In its context, the whole 15th
00:15:10.833 --> 00:15:13.235
In its context, the whole 15th chapter of 1 corinthians, is
00:15:13.302 --> 00:15:14.770
Chapter of 1 corinthians, is talking about the resurrection.
00:15:14.837 --> 00:15:16.739
Talking about the resurrection. paul said that if jesus didn't
00:15:16.805 --> 00:15:18.407
Paul said that if jesus didn't rise from the dead, then we're
00:15:18.474 --> 00:15:19.708
Rise from the dead, then we're all in our sins and our faith is
00:15:19.775 --> 00:15:21.677
All in our sins and our faith is vain. and this whole chapter is
00:15:21.744 --> 00:15:24.680
Vain. and this whole chapter is talking about the power of
00:15:24.747 --> 00:15:26.348
Talking about the power of the resurrection of jesus,
00:15:26.415 --> 00:15:27.850
The resurrection of jesus, and not only what that did
00:15:27.916 --> 00:15:29.084
And not only what that did for him, but also what it
00:15:29.151 --> 00:15:30.419
For him, but also what it does for us. and he...
00:15:30.486 --> 00:15:32.855
He breaks out here into praise
00:15:32.921 --> 00:15:34.356
He breaks out here into praise saying, o death, where is thy
00:15:34.423 --> 00:15:36.625
Saying, o death, where is thy sting? o grave, where is thy
00:15:36.692 --> 00:15:38.460
Sting? o grave, where is thy victory? jesus conquered death
00:15:38.527 --> 00:15:41.430
Victory? jesus conquered death and the grave. and then the
00:15:41.497 --> 00:15:42.965
And the grave. and then the next verse says, the sting of
00:15:43.032 --> 00:15:45.334
Next verse says, the sting of death is sin; and the strength
00:15:45.401 --> 00:15:48.370
Death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. that is
00:15:48.437 --> 00:15:50.906
One radical statement right
00:15:50.973 --> 00:15:52.741
One radical statement right there. did you know that most
00:15:52.808 --> 00:15:54.343
There. did you know that most people believe that the reason
00:15:54.410 --> 00:15:55.978
People believe that the reason god gave the law was to break
00:15:56.045 --> 00:15:58.847
God gave the law was to break sin's dominion over us. and so,
00:15:58.914 --> 00:16:02.785
Sin's dominion over us. and so, if... if you would just preach
00:16:02.851 --> 00:16:04.520
If... if you would just preach the law, if you would preach
00:16:04.586 --> 00:16:05.654
The law, if you would preach that god says, don't commit
00:16:05.721 --> 00:16:07.189
That god says, don't commit adultery, don't do this, don't
00:16:07.256 --> 00:16:08.791
Adultery, don't do this, don't do that, and if you preach the
00:16:08.857 --> 00:16:10.092
Do that, and if you preach the law, that that would break the
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.860
Law, that that would break the power of sin. this verse says
00:16:11.927 --> 00:16:14.363
Power of sin. this verse says that the strength of sin is
00:16:14.430 --> 00:16:17.299
That the strength of sin is the law. let me turn over
00:16:17.366 --> 00:16:19.068
The law. let me turn over and read another passage
00:16:19.134 --> 00:16:20.202
And read another passage that goes right along
00:16:20.269 --> 00:16:20.969
With this. romans, chapter 6,
00:16:21.036 --> 00:16:23.705
With this. romans, chapter 6, and i believe it's verse 14. it
00:16:23.772 --> 00:16:27.209
And i believe it's verse 14. it says, for sin shall not have
00:16:27.276 --> 00:16:28.977
Says, for sin shall not have dominion over you: for
00:16:29.044 --> 00:16:30.212
Dominion over you: for you are not under the
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.547
You are not under the law, but under grace.
00:16:31.613 --> 00:16:33.916
Did you know you could turn this
00:16:33.982 --> 00:16:34.917
Did you know you could turn this verse around and say it this
00:16:34.983 --> 00:16:35.984
Verse around and say it this way, that if sin is having
00:16:36.051 --> 00:16:37.820
Way, that if sin is having dominion over you, it's because
00:16:37.886 --> 00:16:39.555
Dominion over you, it's because you aren't under grace, but you
00:16:39.621 --> 00:16:41.256
You aren't under grace, but you are under the law. and again, 1
00:16:41.323 --> 00:16:44.059
Are under the law. and again, 1 corinthians 15:56, the law
00:16:44.126 --> 00:16:46.562
Corinthians 15:56, the law strengthened sin. why would god
00:16:46.628 --> 00:16:50.632
Strengthened sin. why would god give something that would
00:16:50.699 --> 00:16:51.834
Give something that would strengthen sin? sin was our
00:16:51.900 --> 00:16:53.502
Strengthen sin? sin was our enemy. sin was what was
00:16:53.569 --> 00:16:55.737
Enemy. sin was what was destroying us. sin is what
00:16:55.804 --> 00:16:57.306
Destroying us. sin is what separated us from god. why would
00:16:57.372 --> 00:17:00.042
Separated us from god. why would god give something that would
00:17:00.109 --> 00:17:01.677
God give something that would strengthen sin instead of
00:17:01.743 --> 00:17:03.679
Strengthen sin instead of strengthening us in our battle
00:17:03.745 --> 00:17:06.248
Strengthening us in our battle against sin? it was because sin
00:17:06.315 --> 00:17:09.051
Against sin? it was because sin had already defeated us. did you
00:17:09.118 --> 00:17:11.420
Had already defeated us. did you know if you live a relatively
00:17:11.487 --> 00:17:13.455
Know if you live a relatively moral life, and this is a
00:17:13.522 --> 00:17:15.290
Moral life, and this is a mistake that a lot of people
00:17:15.357 --> 00:17:16.558
Mistake that a lot of people make. they look around, and then
00:17:16.625 --> 00:17:18.660
Scripture says, that they
00:17:18.727 --> 00:17:20.129
Scripture says, that they comparing themselves
00:17:20.195 --> 00:17:21.296
Comparing themselves among themselves, and
00:17:21.363 --> 00:17:22.364
Among themselves, and measuring themselves by
00:17:22.431 --> 00:17:23.732
Measuring themselves by themselves are not wise.
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.401
And this is what so many people
00:17:26.468 --> 00:17:28.137
And this is what so many people do, and they'll say, if those
00:17:28.203 --> 00:17:29.071
Do, and they'll say, if those old hypocrites down there at
00:17:29.138 --> 00:17:30.239
Old hypocrites down there at church make it, i'm going to
00:17:30.305 --> 00:17:31.140
Church make it, i'm going to make it. the problem with that
00:17:31.206 --> 00:17:32.774
Make it. the problem with that reasoning is the hypocrites at
00:17:32.841 --> 00:17:34.209
Reasoning is the hypocrites at church aren't going to make it.
00:17:34.276 --> 00:17:36.078
Church aren't going to make it. god's not going to compare
00:17:36.145 --> 00:17:37.379
God's not going to compare you to other people. he's
00:17:37.446 --> 00:17:38.580
You to other people. he's going to compare you to his
00:17:38.647 --> 00:17:40.315
Going to compare you to his perfect standard, what he
00:17:40.382 --> 00:17:41.884
Perfect standard, what he created man to be. and
00:17:41.950 --> 00:17:43.986
Created man to be. and jesus is the glory of god.
00:17:44.052 --> 00:17:46.688
And it says in romans 3:23, all
00:17:46.755 --> 00:17:49.291
And it says in romans 3:23, all have sinned, and come short
00:17:49.358 --> 00:17:50.325
Have sinned, and come short of the glory of god.
00:17:50.392 --> 00:17:51.593
You might be a better sinner
00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:53.195
You might be a better sinner than i am, but who wants to be
00:17:53.262 --> 00:17:54.863
Than i am, but who wants to be the best sinner that ever went
00:17:54.930 --> 00:17:56.265
The best sinner that ever went to hell? the truth is sin had
00:17:56.331 --> 00:17:58.834
To hell? the truth is sin had already defeated us and we
00:17:58.901 --> 00:18:01.069
Already defeated us and we didn't know it. we were looking
00:18:01.136 --> 00:18:02.504
Didn't know it. we were looking around and thinking, well, i'm
00:18:02.571 --> 00:18:03.372
Around and thinking, well, i'm not as bad as this person over
00:18:03.438 --> 00:18:04.706
Not as bad as this person over here. i don't rape, i don't
00:18:04.773 --> 00:18:06.475
Here. i don't rape, i don't murder, i don't kill, i hadn't
00:18:06.542 --> 00:18:08.010
Murder, i don't kill, i hadn't done that. so i believe god's
00:18:08.076 --> 00:18:09.711
Done that. so i believe god's going to accept me because i'm
00:18:09.778 --> 00:18:10.812
Going to accept me because i'm relatively good. that's not
00:18:10.879 --> 00:18:12.848
Relatively good. that's not true. all of us have sinned.
00:18:12.915 --> 00:18:14.716
It says in james, chapter 2,
00:18:14.783 --> 00:18:16.418
It says in james, chapter 2, verse 10, if you keep the whole
00:18:16.485 --> 00:18:18.053
Verse 10, if you keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:19.888
Law, and yet offend in one point, you become guilty of all.
00:18:19.955 --> 00:18:24.226
Now this is a powerful truth
00:18:24.293 --> 00:18:25.694
Now this is a powerful truth that you need to grab hold of.
00:18:25.761 --> 00:18:27.396
That you need to grab hold of. it's like if i had a huge glass
00:18:27.462 --> 00:18:29.731
It's like if i had a huge glass in front of you and me, and you
00:18:29.798 --> 00:18:31.967
In front of you and me, and you were standing on the other side,
00:18:32.034 --> 00:18:33.235
Were standing on the other side, i could break that glass by
00:18:33.302 --> 00:18:34.870
I could break that glass by shooting a bb through it and
00:18:34.937 --> 00:18:36.405
Shooting a bb through it and just make a little hole, or i
00:18:36.471 --> 00:18:38.340
Just make a little hole, or i could drive a mack truck through
00:18:38.407 --> 00:18:40.042
Could drive a mack truck through that glass. it doesn't matter
00:18:40.108 --> 00:18:41.710
That glass. it doesn't matter the size of the hole or the
00:18:41.777 --> 00:18:43.378
The size of the hole or the damage that you make. if you
00:18:43.445 --> 00:18:44.680
Damage that you make. if you break a solid piece of glass,
00:18:44.746 --> 00:18:47.115
Break a solid piece of glass, the whole thing's got to be
00:18:47.182 --> 00:18:48.617
The whole thing's got to be replaced. god's law had hundreds
00:18:48.684 --> 00:18:51.620
Replaced. god's law had hundreds of different precepts in it, and
00:18:51.687 --> 00:18:53.622
Of different precepts in it, and people think, well, as long as i
00:18:53.689 --> 00:18:55.023
People think, well, as long as i keep the majority of them, if i
00:18:55.090 --> 00:18:56.692
Keep the majority of them, if i make a 90, i'm going to pass.
00:18:56.758 --> 00:18:58.660
Make a 90, i'm going to pass. no, if you... if you break one
00:18:58.727 --> 00:19:01.096
No, if you... if you break one out of a hundred commands, you
00:19:01.163 --> 00:19:03.532
Out of a hundred commands, you get a zero. you don't get a 99,
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.468
Get a zero. you don't get a 99, you get a zero. you have to make
00:19:06.535 --> 00:19:07.269
You get a zero. you have to make 100. you have to be perfect, or
00:19:07.336 --> 00:19:09.504
100. you have to be perfect, or you get nothing. and this is
00:19:09.571 --> 00:19:11.373
You get nothing. and this is what the law did. the law came
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.842
What the law did. the law came and it strengthened sin because
00:19:13.909 --> 00:19:16.111
And it strengthened sin because we were thinking that, you know,
00:19:16.178 --> 00:19:17.913
We were thinking that, you know, i'm pretty good. but the truth
00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:19.581
I'm pretty good. but the truth was sin had already corrupted
00:19:19.648 --> 00:19:21.350
Was sin had already corrupted you. you had to have an
00:19:21.416 --> 00:19:23.352
You. you had to have an atonement, and we just didn't
00:19:23.418 --> 00:19:25.187
Atonement, and we just didn't realize how bad sin was. and so
00:19:25.254 --> 00:19:27.823
Realize how bad sin was. and so when god said, thou shalt not do
00:19:27.889 --> 00:19:31.193
When god said, thou shalt not do this, there's something on the
00:19:31.260 --> 00:19:33.295
This, there's something on the inside of us that rose up that
00:19:33.362 --> 00:19:34.696
Inside of us that rose up that said, bless god, i shall. you
00:19:34.763 --> 00:19:37.499
Said, bless god, i shall. you know, when i was a kid, even as
00:19:37.566 --> 00:19:40.502
Know, when i was a kid, even as a kid, i understood this
00:19:40.569 --> 00:19:41.870
A kid, i understood this principle, not from scripture,
00:19:41.937 --> 00:19:43.805
Principle, not from scripture, but you know, our fr... i
00:19:43.872 --> 00:19:44.973
But you know, our fr... i remember one time out playing
00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:46.942
Remember one time out playing after a rain and we... we put a
00:19:47.009 --> 00:19:48.744
After a rain and we... we put a log across a creek, and we dared
00:19:48.810 --> 00:19:52.080
Log across a creek, and we dared this guy to walk across that
00:19:52.147 --> 00:19:53.882
This guy to walk across that log, and we knew he was going to
00:19:53.949 --> 00:19:55.317
Log, and we knew he was going to fall into the creek if he did
00:19:55.384 --> 00:19:57.019
Fall into the creek if he did it. and he knew it, and so he
00:19:57.085 --> 00:19:58.954
It. and he knew it, and so he said, no, i'm not going to do
00:19:59.021 --> 00:20:00.088
Said, no, i'm not going to do it. and so we said, you can't do
00:20:00.155 --> 00:20:02.057
It. and so we said, you can't do it. you're a sissy. and then in
00:20:02.124 --> 00:20:04.693
It. you're a sissy. and then in texas, you know, we say, we
00:20:04.760 --> 00:20:06.161
Texas, you know, we say, we double dog dare you. some of you
00:20:06.228 --> 00:20:08.330
Double dog dare you. some of you don't have a clue what that
00:20:08.397 --> 00:20:09.531
Don't have a clue what that means, but you couldn't turn
00:20:09.598 --> 00:20:11.300
Means, but you couldn't turn down a double dog dare. and so
00:20:11.366 --> 00:20:13.168
Down a double dog dare. and so anyway, we said, you can't do
00:20:13.235 --> 00:20:14.903
Anyway, we said, you can't do it. in a sense, what we were
00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:16.305
It. in a sense, what we were saying is, thou shalt not do it.
00:20:16.371 --> 00:20:19.041
Saying is, thou shalt not do it. and the moment you tell somebody
00:20:19.107 --> 00:20:20.776
And the moment you tell somebody they cannot do something,
00:20:20.842 --> 00:20:23.078
They cannot do something, there's something on the inside
00:20:23.145 --> 00:20:24.346
There's something on the inside of them that rises up. it's that
00:20:24.413 --> 00:20:25.814
Of them that rises up. it's that old sinful nature that doesn't
00:20:25.881 --> 00:20:28.550
Old sinful nature that doesn't like to be restricted. it
00:20:28.617 --> 00:20:30.385
Like to be restricted. it doesn't want to submit. it wants
00:20:30.452 --> 00:20:32.020
Doesn't want to submit. it wants to be its own god. and that old
00:20:32.087 --> 00:20:34.189
To be its own god. and that old self rises up and says, bless
00:20:34.256 --> 00:20:36.124
Self rises up and says, bless god, i shall. god says, thou
00:20:36.191 --> 00:20:37.826
God, i shall. god says, thou shalt not, and you say, bless
00:20:37.893 --> 00:20:39.261
Shalt not, and you say, bless god, i shall. and sure enough,
00:20:39.328 --> 00:20:41.063
God, i shall. and sure enough, we dared this kid. he walked
00:20:41.129 --> 00:20:42.631
We dared this kid. he walked across that log, fell in the
00:20:42.698 --> 00:20:43.832
Across that log, fell in the creek. and even as a kid we
00:20:43.899 --> 00:20:45.801
Creek. and even as a kid we understood this, that all you
00:20:45.867 --> 00:20:47.536
Understood this, that all you had to do is tell somebody, you
00:20:47.602 --> 00:20:49.004
Had to do is tell somebody, you can't do it. you're a sissy. you
00:20:49.071 --> 00:20:52.407
Can't do it. you're a sissy. you don't have enough power. you
00:20:52.474 --> 00:20:53.575
Don't have enough power. you don't have enough strength to do
00:20:53.642 --> 00:20:54.843
Don't have enough strength to do it. and the moment you start
00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:56.244
It. and the moment you start impugning somebody's character,
00:20:56.311 --> 00:20:58.246
Impugning somebody's character, that old flesh rises up that
00:20:58.313 --> 00:21:00.549
That old flesh rises up that says, bless god, i shall. god
00:21:00.615 --> 00:21:02.384
Says, bless god, i shall. god knew that. and so for those who
00:21:02.451 --> 00:21:05.020
Knew that. and so for those who thought that i'm a really pretty
00:21:05.087 --> 00:21:06.254
Thought that i'm a really pretty good person, i don't dip or cuss
00:21:06.321 --> 00:21:07.723
Good person, i don't dip or cuss or chew or go with those that
00:21:07.789 --> 00:21:08.924
Or chew or go with those that do. i'm not like these other
00:21:08.990 --> 00:21:10.659
Do. i'm not like these other people, and so i think god's got
00:21:10.726 --> 00:21:12.894
People, and so i think god's got to accept me. god says, you
00:21:12.961 --> 00:21:14.329
To accept me. god says, you think you're good? thou shalt
00:21:14.396 --> 00:21:16.832
Think you're good? thou shalt not. and he put down all of
00:21:16.898 --> 00:21:18.433
Not. and he put down all of these rules, and this old flesh
00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:20.135
These rules, and this old flesh rose up on the inside of us, and
00:21:20.202 --> 00:21:22.304
Rose up on the inside of us, and the law actually strengthened
00:21:22.371 --> 00:21:24.639
The law actually strengthened sin. this is counterintuitive.
00:21:24.706 --> 00:21:27.242
Most people think that if a
00:21:29.344 --> 00:21:30.612
Most people think that if a preacher wants to c... you know,
00:21:30.679 --> 00:21:32.948
Preacher wants to c... you know, get the people in the church to
00:21:33.014 --> 00:21:34.316
Get the people in the church to quit committing adultery, what
00:21:34.383 --> 00:21:35.884
Quit committing adultery, what you need to do is start
00:21:35.951 --> 00:21:36.818
You need to do is start preaching the law and start
00:21:36.885 --> 00:21:38.019
Preaching the law and start preaching the wrath and the
00:21:38.086 --> 00:21:39.087
Preaching the wrath and the judgment and the punishment of
00:21:39.154 --> 00:21:42.023
Judgment and the punishment of god against adultery. but you
00:21:42.090 --> 00:21:44.593
God against adultery. but you know what will happen if you
00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:45.527
Know what will happen if you start preaching on adultery and
00:21:45.594 --> 00:21:46.928
Start preaching on adultery and start saying, thou shalt not,
00:21:46.995 --> 00:21:48.363
Start saying, thou shalt not, and i mean attacking it. now
00:21:48.430 --> 00:21:49.631
And i mean attacking it. now there's a right way to do this.
00:21:49.698 --> 00:21:51.666
There's a right way to do this. there's... there's a way to
00:21:51.733 --> 00:21:52.667
There's... there's a way to speak the truth and give a
00:21:52.734 --> 00:21:53.902
Speak the truth and give a person information, but if
00:21:53.969 --> 00:21:55.337
Person information, but if you're preaching the law and
00:21:55.404 --> 00:21:56.471
You're preaching the law and punishment and rejection, you
00:21:56.538 --> 00:21:58.306
Punishment and rejection, you will have a rash of adultery in
00:21:58.373 --> 00:22:00.876
Will have a rash of adultery in that church. some of you may
00:22:00.942 --> 00:22:03.011
That church. some of you may doubt that, but i've been around
00:22:03.078 --> 00:22:04.312
Doubt that, but i've been around a long time and i have seen
00:22:04.379 --> 00:22:05.881
A long time and i have seen people. i remember this one tv
00:22:05.947 --> 00:22:07.916
People. i remember this one tv minister used to preach against
00:22:07.983 --> 00:22:09.751
Minister used to preach against sin so much that his jugular
00:22:09.818 --> 00:22:11.720
Sin so much that his jugular veins would stand out and his
00:22:11.787 --> 00:22:13.321
Veins would stand out and his face would turn red. and then he
00:22:13.388 --> 00:22:15.724
Face would turn red. and then he was... it was found out that he
00:22:15.791 --> 00:22:17.926
Was... it was found out that he was watching prostitutes
00:22:17.993 --> 00:22:19.995
Was watching prostitutes undress, and he said he didn't
00:22:20.061 --> 00:22:21.496
Undress, and he said he didn't have sex with them, he was just
00:22:21.563 --> 00:22:22.898
Have sex with them, he was just watching them. sure, amen.
00:22:22.964 --> 00:22:25.867
Watching them. sure, amen. anyway, he fell, and his
00:22:25.934 --> 00:22:27.636
Anyway, he fell, and his ministry is just a sham of what
00:22:27.702 --> 00:22:29.438
Ministry is just a sham of what it used to be and stuff. and the
00:22:29.504 --> 00:22:31.940
It used to be and stuff. and the reason he was preaching so hard
00:22:32.007 --> 00:22:34.543
Reason he was preaching so hard against all that stuff is
00:22:34.609 --> 00:22:35.510
Against all that stuff is because that was what was going
00:22:35.577 --> 00:22:37.379
Because that was what was going on on the inside of him. i'm
00:22:37.446 --> 00:22:39.915
On on the inside of him. i'm telling you, if you preach the
00:22:39.981 --> 00:22:41.149
Telling you, if you preach the law, that law is going to make
00:22:41.216 --> 00:22:43.285
Law, that law is going to make sin come alive. now that's not
00:22:43.351 --> 00:22:45.821
Sin come alive. now that's not saying that there isn't a proper
00:22:45.887 --> 00:22:47.422
Saying that there isn't a proper place to expose sin and say this
00:22:47.489 --> 00:22:49.825
Place to expose sin and say this is what the bible preaches is
00:22:49.891 --> 00:22:51.460
Is what the bible preaches is the way to live, but when you
00:22:51.526 --> 00:22:53.028
The way to live, but when you are executing the law, which is
00:22:53.094 --> 00:22:54.663
Are executing the law, which is wrath and punishment, judgment,
00:22:54.729 --> 00:22:56.565
Wrath and punishment, judgment, separation, it'll actually make
00:22:56.631 --> 00:22:58.733
Separation, it'll actually make sin come alive on the inside.
00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:01.369
Sin come alive on the inside. i'm going to get to that in
00:23:01.436 --> 00:23:02.704
I'm going to get to that in romans, chapter 7, paul said
00:23:02.771 --> 00:23:04.606
Romans, chapter 7, paul said that. but right here it says,
00:23:04.673 --> 00:23:06.308
That. but right here it says, that the strength of sin is the
00:23:06.374 --> 00:23:08.844
That the strength of sin is the law, and that's why god
00:23:08.910 --> 00:23:11.480
Law, and that's why god delivered us from the law. if
00:23:11.546 --> 00:23:13.348
Delivered us from the law. if you are trying to serve god
00:23:13.415 --> 00:23:14.616
You are trying to serve god under the law, it actually will
00:23:14.683 --> 00:23:16.117
Under the law, it actually will strengthen sin in your life.
00:23:16.184 --> 00:23:18.253

Been blessed to invest in a

We are lovely. it is because of

God, not our performance.

>> god loves you. god
00:27:01.042 --> 00:27:02.777

You while you were a sinner.

That she walks in is unearned
00:27:16.524 --> 00:27:18.359
And undeserved, it's only
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:20.128
Through the acceptance of
00:27:20.128 --> 00:27:21.262
The gift of what christ has
00:27:21.262 --> 00:27:23.331
Done, i really believe that's
00:27:23.331 --> 00:27:26.034
The beginning of when her
00:27:26.034 --> 00:27:27.635
Complete healing took place.
