>> welcome to our thursday's
00:00:30.476 --> 00:00:31.677
Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:31.677 --> 00:00:34.012
This week i've started teaching
00:00:34.012 --> 00:00:35.881
On a subject that i've entitled
00:00:35.881 --> 00:00:37.716
The true nature of god. and
00:00:37.716 --> 00:00:40.285
Really, all of this week, so
00:00:40.285 --> 00:00:42.354
Far, what i've been doing is
00:00:42.354 --> 00:00:43.922
Trying to highlight that many
00:00:43.922 --> 00:00:46.725
People have misunderstood the
00:00:46.725 --> 00:00:49.428
True nature of god because of
00:00:49.495 --> 00:00:52.264
True nature of god because of the wrath, the punishment, the
00:00:52.331 --> 00:00:54.766
The wrath, the punishment, the harshness that is revealed in
00:00:54.833 --> 00:00:57.202
Harshness that is revealed in the old testament. and then
00:00:57.269 --> 00:00:58.437
The old testament. and then jesus comes along, and i mean
00:00:58.504 --> 00:01:01.039
Jesus comes along, and i mean he just shows mercy towards a
00:01:01.106 --> 00:01:02.975
He just shows mercy towards a woman taken in the very act of
00:01:03.041 --> 00:01:04.676
Woman taken in the very act of adultery. he was accused by the
00:01:04.743 --> 00:01:06.778
Adultery. he was accused by the religious people of breaking the
00:01:06.845 --> 00:01:08.447
Religious people of breaking the sabbath and just doing so many
00:01:08.514 --> 00:01:10.516
Sabbath and just doing so many things wrong. and it wasn't that
00:01:10.582 --> 00:01:13.118
Things wrong. and it wasn't that he was wrong at all, it was the
00:01:13.185 --> 00:01:14.653
He was wrong at all, it was the way that they had interpreted
00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:16.755
Way that they had interpreted what god had done. and they had
00:01:16.822 --> 00:01:19.424
What god had done. and they had a total misunderstanding of the
00:01:19.491 --> 00:01:22.861
A total misunderstanding of the true nature of god. you know it
00:01:22.928 --> 00:01:25.230
True nature of god. you know it says in hebrews, chapter 1,
00:01:25.297 --> 00:01:28.000
In verse 1, it says, god, who
00:01:28.066 --> 00:01:29.768
In verse 1, it says, god, who at sundry times, this is just
00:01:29.835 --> 00:01:31.603
At sundry times, this is just talking about at different
00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:33.505
Talking about at different times, and in different manners
00:01:33.572 --> 00:01:35.007
Times, and in different manners spake in times past unto the
00:01:35.073 --> 00:01:36.708
Spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in
00:01:36.775 --> 00:01:40.312
Fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto
00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:42.648
These last days spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath
00:01:42.714 --> 00:01:44.850
Us by his son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
00:01:44.917 --> 00:01:46.385
Appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
00:01:46.451 --> 00:01:47.686
By whom also he made the worlds. and in verse 3, it says,
00:01:47.753 --> 00:01:49.821
Worlds. and in verse 3, it says, who being the brightness of
00:01:49.888 --> 00:01:51.623
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image
00:01:51.690 --> 00:01:55.060
His glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all
00:01:55.127 --> 00:01:57.396
Of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
00:01:57.462 --> 00:01:59.097
Things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged
00:01:59.164 --> 00:02:00.799
When he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
00:02:00.866 --> 00:02:03.135
Our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high. and
00:02:03.202 --> 00:02:05.470
That verse right there, it
00:02:05.537 --> 00:02:06.438
That verse right there, it says he was the express image
00:02:06.505 --> 00:02:08.774
Says he was the express image of god. it means a perfect
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.743
Of god. it means a perfect representation. it wasn't like
00:02:11.810 --> 00:02:13.712
Representation. it wasn't like there was any difference at all.
00:02:13.779 --> 00:02:15.581
There was any difference at all. this... if you have seen jesus,
00:02:15.647 --> 00:02:18.283
This... if you have seen jesus, then you have seen god. matter
00:02:18.350 --> 00:02:19.651
Then you have seen god. matter of fact, jesus even said that
00:02:19.718 --> 00:02:21.253
Of fact, jesus even said that to his disciples in the 14th
00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:22.921
To his disciples in the 14th chapter, he's... you know,
00:02:22.988 --> 00:02:24.122
Chapter, he's... you know, philip said, lord, show us the
00:02:24.189 --> 00:02:25.490
Philip said, lord, show us the father and we'll be satisfied.
00:02:25.557 --> 00:02:27.526
Father and we'll be satisfied. and he said, have you been so
00:02:27.593 --> 00:02:29.261
And he said, have you been so long time with me and you don't
00:02:29.328 --> 00:02:30.529
Long time with me and you don't know me? if you've seen me,
00:02:30.596 --> 00:02:32.864
Know me? if you've seen me, you've seen the father. now
00:02:32.931 --> 00:02:35.067
You've seen the father. now that isn't talking about jesus'
00:02:35.133 --> 00:02:36.535
That isn't talking about jesus' physical body. jesus' physical
00:02:36.602 --> 00:02:38.237
Physical body. jesus' physical body was sinless, but it was
00:02:38.303 --> 00:02:40.239
Body was sinless, but it was physical, it was natural. it
00:02:40.305 --> 00:02:42.007
Physical, it was natural. it was who he was on the inside.
00:02:42.074 --> 00:02:43.976
Was who he was on the inside. he was lord at his birth, even
00:02:44.042 --> 00:02:46.245
He was lord at his birth, even though his physical body was
00:02:46.311 --> 00:02:48.013
Though his physical body was just a baby and it was totally
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.148
Just a baby and it was totally dependent upon his parents to
00:02:50.215 --> 00:02:51.850
Dependent upon his parents to keep him alive and to feed him
00:02:51.917 --> 00:02:53.485
Keep him alive and to feed him and to do all those things. in
00:02:53.552 --> 00:02:55.187
And to do all those things. in his spirit, he was lord at his
00:02:55.254 --> 00:02:58.123
His spirit, he was lord at his birth. the angels told the
00:02:58.190 --> 00:02:59.524
Birth. the angels told the shepherds, go see christ the
00:02:59.591 --> 00:03:01.526
Shepherds, go see christ the lord. that word is the same
00:03:01.593 --> 00:03:03.729
Lord. that word is the same word that is used for lord god
00:03:03.795 --> 00:03:05.697
Word that is used for lord god almighty all of those times.
00:03:05.764 --> 00:03:07.132
Almighty all of those times. jesus in his spirit was lord
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.835
Jesus in his spirit was lord at his birth, but his body
00:03:09.901 --> 00:03:11.536
At his birth, but his body had to grow and develop.
00:03:11.603 --> 00:03:13.205
In luke chapter 2, verse
00:03:13.272 --> 00:03:14.439
In luke chapter 2, verse 52, he increased in wisdom
00:03:14.506 --> 00:03:16.375
52, he increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favour
00:03:16.441 --> 00:03:18.143
And in stature, and in favour with god and man. so anyway,
00:03:18.210 --> 00:03:20.012
It's not his physical body that
00:03:20.078 --> 00:03:21.780
It's not his physical body that was a perfect representation,
00:03:21.847 --> 00:03:23.315
Was a perfect representation, but if you saw his heart, if
00:03:23.382 --> 00:03:25.384
But if you saw his heart, if you saw his actions, he was a
00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:28.620
You saw his actions, he was a perfect representation of god.
00:03:28.687 --> 00:03:32.457
Perfect representation of god. and that's what this is talking
00:03:32.524 --> 00:03:33.825
And that's what this is talking about, that god used angels and
00:03:33.892 --> 00:03:36.528
About, that god used angels and moses, and there were signs and
00:03:36.595 --> 00:03:38.830
Moses, and there were signs and wonders and all of these kind
00:03:38.897 --> 00:03:40.365
Wonders and all of these kind of things, gave us some idea of
00:03:40.432 --> 00:03:42.801
Of things, gave us some idea of what god was like under the
00:03:42.868 --> 00:03:44.369
What god was like under the old covenant. but in the new
00:03:44.436 --> 00:03:45.704
Old covenant. but in the new covenant, jesus is the perfect
00:03:45.771 --> 00:03:48.807
Covenant, jesus is the perfect representation of god. if you've
00:03:48.874 --> 00:03:50.509
Representation of god. if you've seen jesus, then you have seen
00:03:50.575 --> 00:03:52.878
Seen jesus, then you have seen god. and that's what hebrews,
00:03:52.944 --> 00:03:54.813
God. and that's what hebrews, chapter 1, really, through the
00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:57.182
Chapter 1, really, through the entire book, but especially the
00:03:57.249 --> 00:03:58.750
Entire book, but especially the first three chapters of hebrews
00:03:58.817 --> 00:04:00.919
First three chapters of hebrews is trying to establish. he's
00:04:00.986 --> 00:04:02.454
Is trying to establish. he's writing to jews, people who knew
00:04:02.521 --> 00:04:04.589
Writing to jews, people who knew god, but they knew him only
00:04:04.656 --> 00:04:06.091
God, but they knew him only through the old testament, and
00:04:06.158 --> 00:04:07.893
Through the old testament, and he's writing trying to show that
00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:09.594
He's writing trying to show that under the new covenant we now
00:04:09.661 --> 00:04:11.697
Under the new covenant we now have a clearer representation of
00:04:11.763 --> 00:04:14.333
Have a clearer representation of who god is through jesus than
00:04:14.399 --> 00:04:16.501
Who god is through jesus than was ever manifested under the
00:04:16.568 --> 00:04:19.004
Was ever manifested under the old testament. the same thing is
00:04:19.071 --> 00:04:20.872
Old testament. the same thing is said in 2 corinthians, chapter
00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:22.474
Said in 2 corinthians, chapter 3, where it talks about that
00:04:22.541 --> 00:04:25.610
3, where it talks about that what came through moses had no
00:04:25.677 --> 00:04:28.180
What came through moses had no glory compared to the glory that
00:04:28.246 --> 00:04:30.048
Glory compared to the glory that we now have. that the glory that
00:04:30.115 --> 00:04:32.384
We now have. that the glory that we have under the new covenant
00:04:32.451 --> 00:04:33.785
We have under the new covenant excels the old testament glory.
00:04:33.852 --> 00:04:37.122
Excels the old testament glory. so anyway, these are... this
00:04:37.189 --> 00:04:39.591
So anyway, these are... this is what i've been talking about.
00:04:39.658 --> 00:04:40.826
Is what i've been talking about. let me turn over to romans,
00:04:40.892 --> 00:04:42.861
Let me turn over to romans, chapter 5. and this is a passage
00:04:42.928 --> 00:04:46.898
Chapter 5. and this is a passage of scripture that honestly i
00:04:46.965 --> 00:04:48.300
Of scripture that honestly i could spend weeks right here,
00:04:48.367 --> 00:04:50.602
Could spend weeks right here, because this is so contrary
00:04:50.669 --> 00:04:54.072
Because this is so contrary to the way that religion has
00:04:54.139 --> 00:04:56.108
To the way that religion has interpreted god. and yet paul
00:04:56.174 --> 00:04:58.744
Interpreted god. and yet paul is making some statements
00:04:58.810 --> 00:05:00.112
Is making some statements here in the book of romans,
00:05:00.178 --> 00:05:01.380
Here in the book of romans, that are just radical, radical
00:05:01.446 --> 00:05:04.249
That are just radical, radical statements. and it takes
00:05:04.316 --> 00:05:06.585
Statements. and it takes a lot of explanation.
00:05:06.651 --> 00:05:07.219
Again this book will go
00:05:07.753 --> 00:05:08.920
Into more explanation than
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.322
What i'm able to do here on
00:05:10.322 --> 00:05:11.490
Television. but let me just jump
00:05:11.490 --> 00:05:13.525
Into romans, chapter 5, and
00:05:13.592 --> 00:05:16.294
Into romans, chapter 5, and in verse 12, it says, wherefore,
00:05:16.361 --> 00:05:19.097
In verse 12, it says, wherefore, as by one man sin entered
00:05:19.164 --> 00:05:21.933
As by one man sin entered into the world. i could
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.402
Spend a week on that passage
00:05:23.468 --> 00:05:25.670
Spend a week on that passage right there. most people think,
00:05:25.737 --> 00:05:28.140
Right there. most people think, you know, it's what i do that
00:05:28.206 --> 00:05:29.975
You know, it's what i do that makes me a sinner. this is
00:05:30.041 --> 00:05:31.777
Makes me a sinner. this is saying, and it will say it five
00:05:31.843 --> 00:05:33.111
Saying, and it will say it five or six different times before
00:05:33.178 --> 00:05:34.613
Or six different times before the end of this chapter. it's
00:05:34.679 --> 00:05:36.114
The end of this chapter. it's not what you did that made you a
00:05:36.181 --> 00:05:38.450
Not what you did that made you a sinner. it's what adam did that
00:05:38.517 --> 00:05:41.219
Sinner. it's what adam did that made all of us sinners. we were
00:05:41.286 --> 00:05:44.456
Made all of us sinners. we were born with a sin nature. we were
00:05:44.523 --> 00:05:47.259
Born with a sin nature. we were born separated from god. now
00:05:47.325 --> 00:05:50.996
Born separated from god. now that is important on so many
00:05:51.062 --> 00:05:53.064
That is important on so many levels, because sometimes people
00:05:53.131 --> 00:05:55.434
Levels, because sometimes people who have just gone out and lived
00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:57.135
Who have just gone out and lived a terrible, terrible, terrible
00:05:57.202 --> 00:05:59.104
A terrible, terrible, terrible life, i mean they have murdered,
00:05:59.171 --> 00:06:00.539
Life, i mean they have murdered, raped, and stolen, and just
00:06:00.605 --> 00:06:02.507
Raped, and stolen, and just everything. they feel like i've
00:06:02.574 --> 00:06:04.176
Everything. they feel like i've done too much to be forgiven.
00:06:04.242 --> 00:06:06.511
Done too much to be forgiven. and on the other extreme,
00:06:06.578 --> 00:06:08.079
And on the other extreme, there's some people who've
00:06:08.146 --> 00:06:09.114
There's some people who've lived a relatively holy life,
00:06:09.181 --> 00:06:11.516
Lived a relatively holy life, and compared to other people,
00:06:11.583 --> 00:06:12.918
And compared to other people, they're so good, they just think
00:06:12.984 --> 00:06:14.386
They're so good, they just think that they don't need as much
00:06:14.453 --> 00:06:15.687
That they don't need as much help as somebody else. but see,
00:06:15.754 --> 00:06:17.355
Help as somebody else. but see, all you're doing is dealing with
00:06:17.422 --> 00:06:18.957
All you're doing is dealing with the fruit, the things that's
00:06:19.024 --> 00:06:21.193
The fruit, the things that's above the ground. but at the
00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:23.228
Above the ground. but at the root level, every one of us is
00:06:23.295 --> 00:06:26.064
Root level, every one of us is exactly the same. we were all
00:06:26.131 --> 00:06:28.033
Exactly the same. we were all born with a sin nature, and it's
00:06:28.099 --> 00:06:30.969
Born with a sin nature, and it's the sin nature that separated
00:06:31.036 --> 00:06:33.205
The sin nature that separated us from god, not our individual
00:06:33.271 --> 00:06:35.574
Us from god, not our individual sins. radical statement right
00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:38.610
Sins. radical statement right there. some of you, this is the
00:06:38.677 --> 00:06:40.312
There. some of you, this is the first time you've ever heard
00:06:40.378 --> 00:06:41.413
First time you've ever heard this in your life, and you may
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:42.714
This in your life, and you may have to chew on that and digest
00:06:42.781 --> 00:06:45.650
Have to chew on that and digest it a little bit before you can
00:06:45.717 --> 00:06:46.852
It a little bit before you can swallow it. but it is not your
00:06:46.918 --> 00:06:49.488
Swallow it. but it is not your individual sins that separated
00:06:49.554 --> 00:06:51.556
Individual sins that separated you from god. it is that sin
00:06:51.623 --> 00:06:53.959
You from god. it is that sin nature. and so whether you are
00:06:54.025 --> 00:06:56.061
Nature. and so whether you are a relatively good sinner and
00:06:56.127 --> 00:06:57.829
A relatively good sinner and you haven't done as much as i
00:06:57.896 --> 00:06:59.364
You haven't done as much as i have or somebody else, who
00:06:59.431 --> 00:07:00.432
Have or somebody else, who wants to be the best sinner
00:07:00.499 --> 00:07:01.600
Wants to be the best sinner that ever went to hell?
00:07:01.666 --> 00:07:02.901
Because all have sinned and
00:07:02.968 --> 00:07:04.336
Because all have sinned and come short of the glory of god,
00:07:04.402 --> 00:07:05.537
Come short of the glory of god, romans 3:23. or if you're
00:07:05.604 --> 00:07:07.639
Over here, and if you've
00:07:07.706 --> 00:07:08.507
Over here, and if you've lived a terrible life, did you
00:07:08.573 --> 00:07:10.342
Lived a terrible life, did you know that there's really no
00:07:10.408 --> 00:07:11.409
Know that there's really no difference? i one time was
00:07:11.476 --> 00:07:13.411
Difference? i one time was invited to go to a place, it was
00:07:13.478 --> 00:07:16.047
Invited to go to a place, it was called the dunklin memorial
00:07:16.114 --> 00:07:17.716
Called the dunklin memorial camp, and it was in the
00:07:17.782 --> 00:07:19.284
Camp, and it was in the okefenokee swamp in florida. and
00:07:19.351 --> 00:07:22.454
Okefenokee swamp in florida. and it was a place where they would
00:07:22.521 --> 00:07:23.588
It was a place where they would take people out of prison, and
00:07:23.655 --> 00:07:25.657
Take people out of prison, and they would put them in this
00:07:25.724 --> 00:07:26.658
They would put them in this rehabilitation thing. they were
00:07:26.725 --> 00:07:28.159
Rehabilitation thing. they were still on parole and so they
00:07:28.226 --> 00:07:29.594
Still on parole and so they couldn't leave. plus they were
00:07:29.661 --> 00:07:30.662
Couldn't leave. plus they were in the midst of a swamp. if
00:07:30.729 --> 00:07:32.230
In the midst of a swamp. if they tried to get out of there,
00:07:32.297 --> 00:07:33.899
They tried to get out of there, they'd have to deal with all
00:07:33.965 --> 00:07:34.900
They'd have to deal with all the snakes and alligators
00:07:34.966 --> 00:07:36.134
The snakes and alligators and everything. so i went
00:07:36.201 --> 00:07:37.702
And everything. so i went and i spoke there. and...
00:07:37.769 --> 00:07:40.739
And i spoke there. and... my testimony is that i
00:07:40.805 --> 00:07:43.241
My testimony is that i got born again when i was
00:07:43.308 --> 00:07:44.242
Got born again when i was 8 years old, and i have never
00:07:44.309 --> 00:07:46.211
8 years old, and i have never said a word of profanity
00:07:46.278 --> 00:07:47.546
Said a word of profanity in my whole life. i've never
00:07:47.612 --> 00:07:48.880
In my whole life. i've never taken a drink of liquor. i've
00:07:48.947 --> 00:07:50.081
Taken a drink of liquor. i've never smoked a cigarette. and so
00:07:50.148 --> 00:07:52.317
Never smoked a cigarette. and so here i was, this relatively good
00:07:52.384 --> 00:07:55.554
Here i was, this relatively good person, holy person, based
00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:57.656
Person, holy person, based on what religion says,
00:07:57.722 --> 00:07:59.491
On what religion says, and i was speaking to
00:07:59.558 --> 00:08:00.592
And i was speaking to people who were murderers
00:08:00.659 --> 00:08:02.093
People who were murderers and rapists. and i mean these
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.496
And rapists. and i mean these were bad dudes, they were
00:08:04.563 --> 00:08:06.298
Were bad dudes, they were tough looking guys. and so,
00:08:06.364 --> 00:08:08.934
Tough looking guys. and so, you know what? i felt inadequate
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.369
You know what? i felt inadequate to be able to speak to them. so
00:08:11.436 --> 00:08:12.771
To be able to speak to them. so here's how i approached this
00:08:12.837 --> 00:08:13.939
Here's how i approached this thing. i just got up and i told
00:08:14.005 --> 00:08:15.273
Thing. i just got up and i told them, i said, i am, you know at
00:08:15.340 --> 00:08:16.808
Them, i said, i am, you know at that time i forgot how old
00:08:16.875 --> 00:08:18.109
That time i forgot how old i was, 50, 60 years old or
00:08:18.176 --> 00:08:19.844
I was, 50, 60 years old or something. and i said, i've
00:08:19.911 --> 00:08:21.346
Something. and i said, i've never said a word of profanity.
00:08:21.413 --> 00:08:22.781
Never said a word of profanity. i've never taken a drink of
00:08:22.847 --> 00:08:23.982
I've never taken a drink of liquor. i've never smoked a
00:08:24.049 --> 00:08:25.083
Liquor. i've never smoked a cigarette. i've never even
00:08:25.150 --> 00:08:26.284
Cigarette. i've never even tasted coffee. which is true.
00:08:26.351 --> 00:08:29.688
Tasted coffee. which is true. and these guys just... i mean,
00:08:29.754 --> 00:08:32.257
And these guys just... i mean, they were the worst of the
00:08:32.324 --> 00:08:33.191
They were the worst of the worst, and they looked at me,
00:08:33.258 --> 00:08:35.560
Worst, and they looked at me, and i thought... and... and they
00:08:35.627 --> 00:08:37.295
And i thought... and... and they were probably wondering, well
00:08:37.362 --> 00:08:38.396
Were probably wondering, well why are you here? and then i
00:08:38.463 --> 00:08:40.599
Why are you here? and then i began to make this exact point.
00:08:40.665 --> 00:08:42.667
Began to make this exact point. i said, it is not these outward
00:08:42.734 --> 00:08:45.136
I said, it is not these outward things that you do that's the
00:08:45.203 --> 00:08:46.404
Things that you do that's the problem. it's the fact that all
00:08:46.471 --> 00:08:48.039
Problem. it's the fact that all of us by nature were a sinner,
00:08:48.106 --> 00:08:50.442
Of us by nature were a sinner, and god went to the root of the
00:08:50.508 --> 00:08:52.510
And god went to the root of the problem and dealt with it. and i
00:08:52.577 --> 00:08:54.379
Problem and dealt with it. and i said, who... it doesn't matter
00:08:54.446 --> 00:08:55.513
Said, who... it doesn't matter if you're a good sinner or a bad
00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:57.782
If you're a good sinner or a bad sinner. all of us have sinned,
00:08:57.849 --> 00:09:00.051
Sinner. all of us have sinned, and i needed just as much grace
00:09:00.118 --> 00:09:02.287
And i needed just as much grace of god to get me saved as you
00:09:02.354 --> 00:09:04.689
Of god to get me saved as you do. and it didn't take more
00:09:04.756 --> 00:09:06.625
Do. and it didn't take more grace for you to be saved than
00:09:06.691 --> 00:09:09.294
Grace for you to be saved than it took for me to be saved. and
00:09:09.361 --> 00:09:11.229
It took for me to be saved. and i said, if you understand this,
00:09:11.296 --> 00:09:13.064
I said, if you understand this, then you can just lay aside all
00:09:13.131 --> 00:09:15.266
Then you can just lay aside all of this condemnation and guilt
00:09:15.333 --> 00:09:17.602
Of this condemnation and guilt over what you have done. it is
00:09:17.669 --> 00:09:19.638
Over what you have done. it is not these actions that are the
00:09:19.704 --> 00:09:21.840
Not these actions that are the real problem. it's that root
00:09:21.906 --> 00:09:23.675
Real problem. it's that root cause, the sinful nature that
00:09:23.742 --> 00:09:26.211
Cause, the sinful nature that caused the action, that's
00:09:26.277 --> 00:09:27.846
Caused the action, that's what jesus dealt with.
00:09:27.912 --> 00:09:29.614
What jesus dealt with. and see, that's what
00:09:29.681 --> 00:09:30.615
These verses are saying.
00:09:30.682 --> 00:09:31.983
These verses are saying. it says, wherefore, as by one
00:09:32.050 --> 00:09:34.252
It says, wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,
00:09:34.319 --> 00:09:37.255
Man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death
00:09:37.322 --> 00:09:40.158
And death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for
00:09:40.225 --> 00:09:42.127
Passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
00:09:42.193 --> 00:09:44.029
And then in verse 13,
00:09:44.095 --> 00:09:45.463
And then in verse 13, this is one of the most
00:09:45.530 --> 00:09:46.564
This is one of the most radical statements in the
00:09:46.631 --> 00:09:48.633
Radical statements in the entire bible based on our
00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:50.669
Entire bible based on our religious concepts today. this
00:09:50.735 --> 00:09:52.671
Religious concepts today. this will just... this will really
00:09:52.737 --> 00:09:54.973
Undo your religious teachings if
00:09:56.307 --> 00:09:58.710
Undo your religious teachings if you'll receive it, or it'll make
00:09:58.777 --> 00:10:00.245
You'll receive it, or it'll make you mad at me, one of the
00:10:00.311 --> 00:10:01.279
You mad at me, one of the two, but i'm not the one
00:10:01.346 --> 00:10:02.213
Two, but i'm not the one that wrote this. paul's
00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:03.615
That wrote this. paul's the one that wrote this.
00:10:03.682 --> 00:10:04.649
In verse 13, it says, for
00:10:04.716 --> 00:10:06.418
In verse 13, it says, for until the law sin was in the
00:10:06.484 --> 00:10:08.720
Until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed
00:10:08.787 --> 00:10:11.790
World: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
00:10:11.856 --> 00:10:13.358
Now most people just
00:10:15.260 --> 00:10:16.327
Now most people just look at this and think,
00:10:16.394 --> 00:10:17.362
Look at this and think, well that doesn't seem so
00:10:17.429 --> 00:10:18.263
Well that doesn't seem so radical to me. but if you stop
00:10:18.329 --> 00:10:20.198
Radical to me. but if you stop and think about it, most of us
00:10:20.265 --> 00:10:21.566
And think about it, most of us have been taught that the moment
00:10:21.633 --> 00:10:23.568
Have been taught that the moment adam and eve sinned, that the
00:10:23.635 --> 00:10:26.371
Adam and eve sinned, that the wrath of god came upon them. he
00:10:26.438 --> 00:10:28.606
Wrath of god came upon them. he drove them out of the garden
00:10:28.673 --> 00:10:30.742
Drove them out of the garden because they were such evil
00:10:30.809 --> 00:10:32.377
Because they were such evil people, and here was holy god
00:10:32.444 --> 00:10:34.245
People, and here was holy god and here was unholy people,
00:10:34.312 --> 00:10:35.847
And here was unholy people, and god could not tolerate
00:10:35.914 --> 00:10:37.916
And god could not tolerate unholiness. you... they couldn't
00:10:37.982 --> 00:10:40.051
Unholiness. you... they couldn't dwell in his presence, and so
00:10:40.118 --> 00:10:41.720
Dwell in his presence, and so god drove them out of the garden
00:10:41.786 --> 00:10:44.255
God drove them out of the garden because they were so unholy. and
00:10:44.322 --> 00:10:46.291
Because they were so unholy. and yet this verse is saying that
00:10:46.357 --> 00:10:47.926
Yet this verse is saying that until the law that came nearly
00:10:47.992 --> 00:10:50.695
Until the law that came nearly 2000 years after the fall of
00:10:50.762 --> 00:10:53.465
2000 years after the fall of adam and eve, and until the law
00:10:53.531 --> 00:10:55.567
Adam and eve, and until the law that was given by moses, sin
00:10:55.633 --> 00:10:57.902
That was given by moses, sin was in the world, but sin wasn't
00:10:57.969 --> 00:11:00.505
Was in the world, but sin wasn't imputed where there is no law.
00:11:00.572 --> 00:11:03.374
Imputed where there is no law. you know, the word impute is
00:11:03.441 --> 00:11:04.642
You know, the word impute is a word that we don't use a lot
00:11:04.709 --> 00:11:06.244
A word that we don't use a lot today, and so sometimes people
00:11:06.311 --> 00:11:08.313
Today, and so sometimes people don't really think about this.
00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:11.282
Don't really think about this. but the word impute is an
00:11:11.349 --> 00:11:12.984
But the word impute is an accounting term, and it
00:11:13.051 --> 00:11:14.652
Accounting term, and it literally means to record on
00:11:14.719 --> 00:11:16.955
Literally means to record on the, you know, to put on the
00:11:17.021 --> 00:11:18.022
The, you know, to put on the books, to record against you,
00:11:18.089 --> 00:11:19.791
Books, to record against you, to hold against you. in the days
00:11:19.858 --> 00:11:22.560
To hold against you. in the days when people you know had an
00:11:22.627 --> 00:11:24.129
When people you know had an account at the grocery store or
00:11:24.195 --> 00:11:26.064
Account at the grocery store or something, they would go and get
00:11:26.131 --> 00:11:27.165
Something, they would go and get things, and they said, put that
00:11:27.232 --> 00:11:28.266
Things, and they said, put that on my account, and then at the
00:11:28.333 --> 00:11:30.068
On my account, and then at the end of the month you'd have
00:11:30.135 --> 00:11:31.069
End of the month you'd have to settle up and pay your
00:11:31.136 --> 00:11:32.971
To settle up and pay your bill. this is saying that god
00:11:33.037 --> 00:11:35.039
Bill. this is saying that god didn't even record, he didn't
00:11:35.106 --> 00:11:37.142
Didn't even record, he didn't even write down people's
00:11:37.208 --> 00:11:39.410
Even write down people's transgressions until the time
00:11:39.477 --> 00:11:41.846
Transgressions until the time that the law came. and yet
00:11:41.913 --> 00:11:43.748
That the law came. and yet religion says that, no, the
00:11:43.815 --> 00:11:45.683
Religion says that, no, the moment adam and eve sinned,
00:11:45.750 --> 00:11:47.118
Moment adam and eve sinned, there was this instant break
00:11:47.185 --> 00:11:49.187
There was this instant break between god and man, and that
00:11:49.254 --> 00:11:51.556
Between god and man, and that the wrath of god came upon them,
00:11:51.623 --> 00:11:53.491
The wrath of god came upon them, and he drove adam and eve out of
00:11:53.558 --> 00:11:56.194
And he drove adam and eve out of the garden because a holy god
00:11:56.261 --> 00:11:58.196
The garden because a holy god could not tolerate an unholy
00:11:58.263 --> 00:12:00.031
Could not tolerate an unholy man. that's not what this verse
00:12:00.098 --> 00:12:02.734
Man. that's not what this verse is saying, and that is not
00:12:02.801 --> 00:12:04.569
Is saying, and that is not what really happened.
00:12:04.636 --> 00:12:06.271
What really happened. let me just turn over...
00:12:06.337 --> 00:12:06.805
I probably won't be able
00:12:07.338 --> 00:12:08.406
To share all of this today,
00:12:08.406 --> 00:12:09.941
But again that's another
00:12:09.941 --> 00:12:10.942
Reason that you need to get
00:12:10.942 --> 00:12:12.544
The book, because i... i just
00:12:12.544 --> 00:12:15.113
Can't share all of these
00:12:15.113 --> 00:12:16.247
Things in one broadcast.
00:12:16.247 --> 00:12:19.851
So after adam and eve sinned
00:12:19.918 --> 00:12:21.419
So after adam and eve sinned in the 3rd chapter of the
00:12:21.486 --> 00:12:22.654
In the 3rd chapter of the book of genesis, the lord came
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.889
Book of genesis, the lord came and talked to them. and then
00:12:24.956 --> 00:12:27.325
It says here in genesis, chapter
00:12:27.392 --> 00:12:29.928
It says here in genesis, chapter 3, and in verse 22, it says, and
00:12:29.994 --> 00:12:33.765
3, and in verse 22, it says, and the lord god said, behold, the
00:12:33.832 --> 00:12:36.501
The lord god said, behold, the man is become as one of us, to
00:12:36.568 --> 00:12:38.069
Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now,
00:12:38.136 --> 00:12:39.470
Know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and
00:12:39.537 --> 00:12:41.039
Lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life,
00:12:41.105 --> 00:12:43.107
Take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:
00:12:43.174 --> 00:12:44.843
And eat, and live forever: therefore the lord god sent
00:12:44.909 --> 00:12:47.545
Therefore the lord god sent him forth from the garden of
00:12:47.612 --> 00:12:49.347
Him forth from the garden of eden, to till the ground from
00:12:49.414 --> 00:12:50.815
Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. that
00:12:50.882 --> 00:12:52.383
Whence he was taken. that verse 23, says, therefore.
00:12:52.450 --> 00:12:54.819
This is the reason god
00:12:54.886 --> 00:12:56.487
This is the reason god sent adam and eve out of
00:12:56.554 --> 00:12:58.656
Sent adam and eve out of the garden. it wasn't because
00:12:58.723 --> 00:13:00.024
The garden. it wasn't because he was holy, and they were
00:13:00.091 --> 00:13:01.326
He was holy, and they were unholy, and he wanted them out
00:13:01.392 --> 00:13:03.428
Unholy, and he wanted them out of his sight, and he couldn't
00:13:03.494 --> 00:13:04.629
Of his sight, and he couldn't tolerate them anymore. matter of
00:13:04.696 --> 00:13:06.564
Tolerate them anymore. matter of fact, in the 4th chapter, you
00:13:06.631 --> 00:13:08.399
Fact, in the 4th chapter, you find that god was still walking
00:13:08.466 --> 00:13:10.268
Find that god was still walking and talking with not only
00:13:10.335 --> 00:13:11.703
And talking with not only adam and eve but with their
00:13:11.769 --> 00:13:12.904
Adam and eve but with their descendants, cain and abel.
00:13:12.971 --> 00:13:14.639
Descendants, cain and abel. he was talking to them in an
00:13:14.706 --> 00:13:16.107
He was talking to them in an audible voice. god did not
00:13:16.174 --> 00:13:18.843
Audible voice. god did not drive man away from his
00:13:18.910 --> 00:13:21.212
Drive man away from his presence. matter of fact,
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.747
In genesis, chapter 4, verse 16,
00:13:22.814 --> 00:13:26.084
In genesis, chapter 4, verse 16, it says, and cain went out from
00:13:26.150 --> 00:13:27.886
It says, and cain went out from the presence of the lord, and
00:13:27.952 --> 00:13:29.954
The presence of the lord, and dwelt in the land of nod, on
00:13:30.021 --> 00:13:31.623
Dwelt in the land of nod, on the east of eden. you can't
00:13:31.689 --> 00:13:33.458
The east of eden. you can't leave something that you
00:13:33.524 --> 00:13:34.792
Never had. the presence of god
00:13:34.859 --> 00:13:37.595
Never had. the presence of god was still with adam and eve,
00:13:37.662 --> 00:13:39.697
Was still with adam and eve, cain and abel. and when cain got
00:13:39.764 --> 00:13:42.333
Cain and abel. and when cain got rebuked by god for killing his
00:13:42.400 --> 00:13:44.369
Rebuked by god for killing his brother abel, cain left the
00:13:44.435 --> 00:13:46.738
Brother abel, cain left the presence of god. god didn't walk
00:13:46.804 --> 00:13:48.806
Presence of god. god didn't walk away from him. he walked away
00:13:48.873 --> 00:13:50.775
Away from him. he walked away from god. this is completely
00:13:50.842 --> 00:13:53.511
From god. this is completely different than what most people
00:13:53.578 --> 00:13:55.346
Different than what most people think. why would god drive them
00:13:55.413 --> 00:13:57.649
Think. why would god drive them out of the garden if he wasn't
00:13:57.715 --> 00:13:59.317
Out of the garden if he wasn't mad at them? it was because he
00:13:59.384 --> 00:14:01.052
Mad at them? it was because he loved them so much, he didn't
00:14:01.119 --> 00:14:02.887
Loved them so much, he didn't want them to eat of this tree
00:14:02.954 --> 00:14:04.622
Want them to eat of this tree of life and live forever in this
00:14:04.689 --> 00:14:07.592
Of life and live forever in this fallen state. did you know god
00:14:07.659 --> 00:14:10.662
Fallen state. did you know god did not intend for mankind to
00:14:10.728 --> 00:14:12.830
Did not intend for mankind to die. death is a result of sin.
00:14:12.897 --> 00:14:15.433
Romans, chapter 6, verse 23, the
00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:17.835
Romans, chapter 6, verse 23, the wages of sin is death. death
00:14:17.902 --> 00:14:21.873
Wages of sin is death. death came as a result of sin.
00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:24.742
So sin is what caused
00:14:24.809 --> 00:14:27.111
So sin is what caused death. that wasn't god's
00:14:27.178 --> 00:14:28.313
Death. that wasn't god's original plan for us. but
00:14:28.379 --> 00:14:30.581
Original plan for us. but once we had sinned, did you
00:14:30.648 --> 00:14:32.850
Once we had sinned, did you know that death is actually
00:14:32.917 --> 00:14:34.185
Know that death is actually a blessing. and i know that
00:14:34.252 --> 00:14:36.354
A blessing. and i know that there's people watching this
00:14:36.421 --> 00:14:37.588
There's people watching this that you've never thought this
00:14:37.655 --> 00:14:38.823
That you've never thought this way. this sounds like blasphemy
00:14:38.890 --> 00:14:41.125
Way. this sounds like blasphemy to you. how could you say that?
00:14:41.192 --> 00:14:43.728
To you. how could you say that? death was not what god intended.
00:14:43.795 --> 00:14:45.430
Death was not what god intended. it wasn't god... what god
00:14:45.496 --> 00:14:46.864
It wasn't god... what god intended for sinless people, but
00:14:46.931 --> 00:14:49.634
Intended for sinless people, but once we've sinned, death is
00:14:49.701 --> 00:14:51.235
Once we've sinned, death is actually better than living
00:14:51.302 --> 00:14:52.637
Actually better than living forever in a sinful world, in a
00:14:52.704 --> 00:14:56.040
Forever in a sinful world, in a sinful body. boy, if you would
00:14:56.107 --> 00:15:00.044
Sinful body. boy, if you would think about that, that's
00:15:00.111 --> 00:15:01.913
Think about that, that's awesome. what if hitler could
00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:05.249
Awesome. what if hitler could not die? what if hitler,
00:15:05.316 --> 00:15:07.352
Not die? what if hitler, mussolini, stalin, genghis khan,
00:15:07.418 --> 00:15:11.756
Mussolini, stalin, genghis khan, and on and on you could go.
00:15:11.823 --> 00:15:12.957
And on and on you could go. pharaoh, and all of the evil
00:15:13.024 --> 00:15:15.326
Pharaoh, and all of the evil people that have become infamous
00:15:15.393 --> 00:15:17.528
People that have become infamous throughout history, what if they
00:15:17.595 --> 00:15:18.896
Throughout history, what if they were still alive? what if all of
00:15:18.963 --> 00:15:21.966
Were still alive? what if all of them were to get together? what
00:15:22.033 --> 00:15:23.968
Them were to get together? what if over the millennia all of
00:15:24.035 --> 00:15:26.237
If over the millennia all of these evil people were to
00:15:26.304 --> 00:15:27.805
These evil people were to just come together and...
00:15:27.872 --> 00:15:29.374
Just come together and... and consolidate all of their
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.376
And consolidate all of their anger and everything? it would
00:15:31.442 --> 00:15:33.511
Anger and everything? it would be terrible to live in that
00:15:33.578 --> 00:15:34.846
Be terrible to live in that situation. even though death was
00:15:34.912 --> 00:15:37.148
Situation. even though death was not god's original purpose for
00:15:37.215 --> 00:15:38.916
Not god's original purpose for mankind, for fallen mankind,
00:15:38.983 --> 00:15:41.019
Mankind, for fallen mankind, death is actually a good thing.
00:15:41.085 --> 00:15:42.754
Death is actually a good thing. it purges the human race of some
00:15:42.820 --> 00:15:45.957
It purges the human race of some of the evil. people don't live
00:15:46.024 --> 00:15:47.558
Of the evil. people don't live forever, and they're... they
00:15:47.625 --> 00:15:49.427
Forever, and they're... they take their evil and they
00:15:49.494 --> 00:15:50.561
Take their evil and they die with them. and even
00:15:50.628 --> 00:15:52.530
Die with them. and even for those who know the lord,
00:15:52.597 --> 00:15:54.465
We still are in a fallen world
00:15:56.167 --> 00:15:58.102
We still are in a fallen world where there are evil people that
00:15:58.169 --> 00:15:59.637
Where there are evil people that are doing terrible things. wars
00:15:59.704 --> 00:16:01.539
Are doing terrible things. wars are happening. people are being
00:16:01.606 --> 00:16:03.274
Are happening. people are being raped and murdered. there's
00:16:03.341 --> 00:16:04.776
Raped and murdered. there's unjust. there's lying. there's
00:16:04.842 --> 00:16:06.611
Unjust. there's lying. there's deceit. there's people angry at
00:16:06.677 --> 00:16:09.447
Deceit. there's people angry at each other. on and on you could
00:16:09.514 --> 00:16:11.649
Each other. on and on you could go just talking about the
00:16:11.716 --> 00:16:12.917
Go just talking about the terrible things that exist. and
00:16:12.984 --> 00:16:15.987
Terrible things that exist. and for those who accept jesus and
00:16:16.054 --> 00:16:19.457
For those who accept jesus and get born again, god provided
00:16:19.524 --> 00:16:21.759
Get born again, god provided something better for us that
00:16:21.826 --> 00:16:23.561
Something better for us that can never come to its full
00:16:23.628 --> 00:16:25.329
Can never come to its full completion in this physical
00:16:25.396 --> 00:16:27.598
Completion in this physical life. we have to lay aside this
00:16:27.665 --> 00:16:29.801
Life. we have to lay aside this body, and we are going to get a
00:16:29.867 --> 00:16:31.135
Body, and we are going to get a glorified body that will never
00:16:31.202 --> 00:16:33.304
Glorified body that will never be susceptible to sickness, to
00:16:33.371 --> 00:16:35.139
Be susceptible to sickness, to sorrow, to pain. it says over in
00:16:35.206 --> 00:16:37.542
Isaiah, chapter 65, i think it
00:16:37.608 --> 00:16:40.178
Isaiah, chapter 65, i think it is, that the former things won't
00:16:40.244 --> 00:16:42.580
Is, that the former things won't even come to mind. there will be
00:16:42.647 --> 00:16:44.348
No more sorrow, no more death.
00:16:44.415 --> 00:16:47.018
No more sorrow, no more death. for those who accept jesus,
00:16:47.085 --> 00:16:49.153
For those who accept jesus, there is something better than
00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:50.955
There is something better than living forever in this physical,
00:16:51.022 --> 00:16:53.424
Living forever in this physical, sinful world in a body that is
00:16:53.491 --> 00:16:56.160
Sinful world in a body that is subject to corruption. just
00:16:56.227 --> 00:16:58.429
Subject to corruption. just think what it'd be like, people
00:16:58.496 --> 00:16:59.864
Think what it'd be like, people that have pain in their body,
00:16:59.931 --> 00:17:02.133
That have pain in their body, and if you could never escape
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.768
And if you could never escape that. now again, for those who
00:17:03.835 --> 00:17:05.303
That. now again, for those who don't know the lord, they may
00:17:05.369 --> 00:17:07.638
Don't know the lord, they may leave this physical body, and
00:17:07.705 --> 00:17:09.173
Leave this physical body, and they may lose that physical
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:10.541
They may lose that physical pain, but then they're going to
00:17:10.608 --> 00:17:11.509
Pain, but then they're going to be tormented forever in a... in
00:17:11.576 --> 00:17:14.045
Be tormented forever in a... in a lake of fire. but for those of
00:17:14.112 --> 00:17:16.647
A lake of fire. but for those of us who know the lord, we're
00:17:16.714 --> 00:17:18.216
Us who know the lord, we're going to receive a glorified
00:17:18.282 --> 00:17:19.417
Going to receive a glorified body that can never be sick.
00:17:19.484 --> 00:17:21.252
Body that can never be sick. pain is going to end for us.
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.321
Pain is going to end for us. poverty will end for us. we are
00:17:23.387 --> 00:17:25.256
Poverty will end for us. we are going to live in a mansion on
00:17:25.323 --> 00:17:26.624
Going to live in a mansion on streets that are paved with
00:17:26.691 --> 00:17:27.992
Streets that are paved with gold. there will be no more
00:17:28.059 --> 00:17:29.794
Gold. there will be no more sorrow. there will be no more
00:17:29.861 --> 00:17:32.263
Sorrow. there will be no more anger and hatred among people.
00:17:32.330 --> 00:17:34.465
Anger and hatred among people. there will be no more hurt. all
00:17:34.532 --> 00:17:37.902
There will be no more hurt. all of these things, god provided
00:17:37.969 --> 00:17:39.237
Of these things, god provided something better for us. so the
00:17:39.303 --> 00:17:40.938
Something better for us. so the reason he drove adam and eve out
00:17:41.005 --> 00:17:42.640
Reason he drove adam and eve out of the garden, he didn't want
00:17:42.707 --> 00:17:44.041
Of the garden, he didn't want them to eat of the tree of life,
00:17:44.108 --> 00:17:46.777
Them to eat of the tree of life, which it's not explained in
00:17:46.844 --> 00:17:48.613
Which it's not explained in scripture, but apparently this
00:17:48.679 --> 00:17:50.081
Scripture, but apparently this would've given them so that this
00:17:50.148 --> 00:17:52.049
Would've given them so that this physical body would've never
00:17:52.116 --> 00:17:53.885
Physical body would've never died. they'd of never gotten
00:17:53.951 --> 00:17:56.787
Died. they'd of never gotten decrepit, but they still would
00:17:56.854 --> 00:17:58.556
Decrepit, but they still would have been subject to all of the
00:17:58.623 --> 00:17:59.790
Have been subject to all of the physical, the emotional pain,
00:17:59.857 --> 00:18:02.260
Physical, the emotional pain, things like this, all of the
00:18:02.326 --> 00:18:03.427
Things like this, all of the ungodliness of other people.
00:18:03.494 --> 00:18:05.196
Ungodliness of other people. they still would have had
00:18:05.263 --> 00:18:06.164
They still would have had sickness racking their body. can
00:18:06.230 --> 00:18:08.166
Sickness racking their body. can you imagine a person who's
00:18:08.232 --> 00:18:09.600
You imagine a person who's quadriplegic just living forever
00:18:09.667 --> 00:18:12.603
Quadriplegic just living forever in this physical body with no
00:18:12.670 --> 00:18:14.372
In this physical body with no escape? if you know the lord,
00:18:14.438 --> 00:18:16.541
Escape? if you know the lord, there is something much better
00:18:16.607 --> 00:18:17.942
There is something much better awaiting us. and i know that
00:18:18.009 --> 00:18:20.511
Awaiting us. and i know that most people don't think this
00:18:20.578 --> 00:18:21.779
Most people don't think this way, and they just hate death so
00:18:21.846 --> 00:18:24.415
Way, and they just hate death so much that they just think that
00:18:24.482 --> 00:18:26.250
Much that they just think that it's terrible. well for a person
00:18:26.317 --> 00:18:28.019
It's terrible. well for a person who doesn't know the lord, it is
00:18:28.085 --> 00:18:30.054
Who doesn't know the lord, it is terrible, because that's the end
00:18:30.121 --> 00:18:31.656
Terrible, because that's the end of your free will and your free
00:18:31.722 --> 00:18:33.658
Of your free will and your free choice, and god will enforce the
00:18:33.724 --> 00:18:36.260
Choice, and god will enforce the choices that you made in this
00:18:36.327 --> 00:18:37.628
Choices that you made in this life, and you will spend an
00:18:37.695 --> 00:18:38.796
Life, and you will spend an eternity separated from god and
00:18:38.863 --> 00:18:41.599
Eternity separated from god and from all that's good. so for a
00:18:41.666 --> 00:18:43.734
From all that's good. so for a person that doesn't know the
00:18:43.801 --> 00:18:44.769
Person that doesn't know the lord, man, you need to repent.
00:18:44.835 --> 00:18:46.804
Lord, man, you need to repent. you need to call us. you need to
00:18:46.871 --> 00:18:48.372
You need to call us. you need to pray with someone. you need to
00:18:48.439 --> 00:18:49.840
Pray with someone. you need to get born again. but for a person
00:18:49.907 --> 00:18:52.143
Get born again. but for a person who's accepted salvation, death
00:18:52.210 --> 00:18:54.612
Who's accepted salvation, death is actually something much
00:18:54.679 --> 00:18:55.746
Is actually something much better. the apostle paul said in
00:18:55.813 --> 00:18:58.115
Better. the apostle paul said in philippians, chapter 1, that he
00:18:58.182 --> 00:18:59.517
Philippians, chapter 1, that he longed to be with the lord. for
00:18:59.584 --> 00:19:01.152
Longed to be with the lord. for him to live was christ and to
00:19:01.219 --> 00:19:02.987
Him to live was christ and to die was even better. and death
00:19:03.054 --> 00:19:05.323
Die was even better. and death was such a great thing. it would
00:19:05.389 --> 00:19:06.691
Was such a great thing. it would usher him into the presence
00:19:06.757 --> 00:19:08.159
Usher him into the presence of the lord, so that he was
00:19:08.226 --> 00:19:09.827
Of the lord, so that he was actually in a strait between
00:19:09.894 --> 00:19:11.495
Actually in a strait between two. he was struggling to decide
00:19:11.562 --> 00:19:13.297
Two. he was struggling to decide whether he should go and depart
00:19:13.364 --> 00:19:15.032
Whether he should go and depart be with the lord, which was
00:19:15.099 --> 00:19:16.367
Be with the lord, which was far better, or it was necessary
00:19:16.434 --> 00:19:18.636
Far better, or it was necessary for him to stay here and
00:19:18.703 --> 00:19:19.704
For him to stay here and minister to people. if you get
00:19:19.770 --> 00:19:21.672
Minister to people. if you get the right attitude, death is not
00:19:21.739 --> 00:19:23.874
The right attitude, death is not a terrible thing for the
00:19:23.941 --> 00:19:25.409
A terrible thing for the believer. for an unbeliever,
00:19:25.476 --> 00:19:27.044
Believer. for an unbeliever, it's terrible. but for the
00:19:27.111 --> 00:19:28.846
It's terrible. but for the believer, you're being ushered
00:19:28.913 --> 00:19:30.514
Believer, you're being ushered into something better. and
00:19:30.581 --> 00:19:32.817
Into something better. and so that's the reason that god
00:19:32.883 --> 00:19:34.452
So that's the reason that god drove adam and eve out of the
00:19:34.518 --> 00:19:36.120
Drove adam and eve out of the garden, not because he couldn't
00:19:36.187 --> 00:19:37.588
Garden, not because he couldn't stand them, because in the 4th
00:19:37.655 --> 00:19:39.657
Stand them, because in the 4th chapter he was still walking and
00:19:39.724 --> 00:19:41.092
Chapter he was still walking and talking with them. he was still
00:19:41.158 --> 00:19:42.326
Talking with them. he was still fellowshipping with them. and
00:19:42.393 --> 00:19:43.995
Fellowshipping with them. and cain left the presence of god.
00:19:44.061 --> 00:19:46.264
Cain left the presence of god. god was still present with
00:19:46.330 --> 00:19:47.732
God was still present with them and talking to them in an
00:19:47.798 --> 00:19:49.000
Them and talking to them in an audible voice. he did not drive
00:19:49.066 --> 00:19:51.569
Audible voice. he did not drive them away from his presence. he
00:19:51.636 --> 00:19:53.671
Them away from his presence. he even made a coat of animal skin
00:19:53.738 --> 00:19:56.507
Even made a coat of animal skin and covered their nakedness much
00:19:56.574 --> 00:19:58.442
And covered their nakedness much better than their little fig
00:19:58.509 --> 00:19:59.844
Better than their little fig leaf aprons that they built
00:19:59.910 --> 00:20:02.313
Leaf aprons that they built were. god did not forsake them.
00:20:02.380 --> 00:20:05.616
Were. god did not forsake them. he didn't drive them out of the
00:20:05.683 --> 00:20:08.052
He didn't drive them out of the garden out of anger. matter
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:10.087
Garden out of anger. matter of fact, you go back to
00:20:10.154 --> 00:20:11.188
This verse we were using
00:20:11.255 --> 00:20:12.323
This verse we were using in romans, chapter 5, until
00:20:12.390 --> 00:20:13.991
In romans, chapter 5, until the law sin was in the world:
00:20:14.058 --> 00:20:15.693
The law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when
00:20:15.760 --> 00:20:18.562
But sin is not imputed when there is no law. god was not
00:20:18.629 --> 00:20:20.865
Imputing their sin unto
00:20:20.931 --> 00:20:23.067
Imputing their sin unto them. now, there were
00:20:23.134 --> 00:20:23.868
Them. now, there were consequences, and god did
00:20:23.934 --> 00:20:26.704
Consequences, and god did some things, but he did it for
00:20:26.771 --> 00:20:27.905
Some things, but he did it for their own protection. he drove
00:20:27.972 --> 00:20:29.707
Their own protection. he drove them out of the garden so that
00:20:29.774 --> 00:20:30.941
Them out of the garden so that they wouldn't eat of this tree
00:20:31.008 --> 00:20:32.143
They wouldn't eat of this tree and live forever in that sinful,
00:20:32.209 --> 00:20:33.878
And live forever in that sinful, fallen state in a fallen world.
00:20:33.944 --> 00:20:36.247
Fallen state in a fallen world. there were consequences, but
00:20:36.314 --> 00:20:37.748
There were consequences, but god was not punishing them and
00:20:37.815 --> 00:20:40.251
God was not punishing them and imputing their sins unto them
00:20:40.318 --> 00:20:42.586
Imputing their sins unto them until the law came. if you've
00:20:42.653 --> 00:20:47.591
Until the law came. if you've followed what i've said today,
00:20:47.658 --> 00:20:49.927
Followed what i've said today, this has probably raised as many
00:20:49.994 --> 00:20:53.097
This has probably raised as many questions as it's answered them.
00:20:53.164 --> 00:20:54.832
And i do have answers for
00:20:55.399 --> 00:20:57.034
Them, and i'm going to continue
00:20:57.034 --> 00:20:58.102
To talk about this, but i just
00:20:58.102 --> 00:20:59.570
Can't tell you everything i know
00:20:59.570 --> 00:21:00.971
In one 30-minute broadcast.
00:21:00.971 --> 00:21:02.940
That's the reason we're
00:21:02.940 --> 00:21:03.741
Encouraging you to please get
00:21:03.741 --> 00:21:05.042
These materials. but if you
00:21:05.042 --> 00:21:06.811
Could understand this, this
00:21:06.877 --> 00:21:07.878
Could understand this, this will change the entire
00:21:07.945 --> 00:21:09.714
Will change the entire way you look at god.
00:21:09.780 --> 00:21:11.682
God is a god of love. 1
00:21:11.749 --> 00:21:13.784
God is a god of love. 1 john 4:8 and 16, says, god is
00:21:13.851 --> 00:21:17.254
John 4:8 and 16, says, god is love. that is his core nature.
00:21:17.321 --> 00:21:20.157
God is a gracious god. and yet
00:21:20.224 --> 00:21:22.460
God is a gracious god. and yet people see something like jesus
00:21:22.526 --> 00:21:24.962
People see something like jesus or god driving adam and eve out
00:21:25.029 --> 00:21:27.598
Or god driving adam and eve out of the garden, and they just
00:21:27.665 --> 00:21:28.899
Of the garden, and they just interpret this as nothing but
00:21:28.966 --> 00:21:32.336
Interpret this as nothing but rejection and punishment and
00:21:32.403 --> 00:21:34.638
Rejection and punishment and anger upon them. it was just the
00:21:34.705 --> 00:21:36.941
Anger upon them. it was just the opposite, it was love. it was
00:21:37.007 --> 00:21:39.777
Opposite, it was love. it was love for them that he drove
00:21:39.844 --> 00:21:41.379
Love for them that he drove them out. and yes, from their
00:21:41.445 --> 00:21:43.447
Them out. and yes, from their perspective, they may have
00:21:43.514 --> 00:21:45.049
Perspective, they may have looked at it as, oh the garden
00:21:45.116 --> 00:21:46.517
Looked at it as, oh the garden was wonderful, and now here i'm
00:21:46.584 --> 00:21:48.052
Was wonderful, and now here i'm out and i'm having to till the
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:49.353
Out and i'm having to till the soil and do all this work. and
00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:51.222
Soil and do all this work. and they may have interpreted it
00:21:51.288 --> 00:21:52.790
They may have interpreted it incorrectly. but the reason god
00:21:52.857 --> 00:21:55.126
Incorrectly. but the reason god did it, based on scripture here,
00:21:55.192 --> 00:21:56.994
Did it, based on scripture here, he was not imputing their sins
00:21:57.061 --> 00:21:58.662
He was not imputing their sins unto them., he was actually
00:21:58.729 --> 00:21:59.964
Unto them., he was actually protecting them. he had
00:22:00.030 --> 00:22:01.665
Protecting them. he had something better planned than
00:22:01.732 --> 00:22:04.435
Something better planned than men just living forever and
00:22:04.502 --> 00:22:06.937
Men just living forever and never able to die and just being
00:22:07.004 --> 00:22:09.206
Never able to die and just being subject to all of the hurt and
00:22:09.273 --> 00:22:10.941
Subject to all of the hurt and the pain and the anger and the
00:22:11.008 --> 00:22:13.043
The pain and the anger and the emotional trauma and stuff like
00:22:13.110 --> 00:22:15.379
Emotional trauma and stuff like that. he had something better.
00:22:15.446 --> 00:22:17.348
That. he had something better. this was motivated out of love.
00:22:17.415 --> 00:22:19.383
This was motivated out of love. this was not god's punishment
00:22:19.450 --> 00:22:21.786
This was not god's punishment upon them. it was actually
00:22:21.852 --> 00:22:23.120
Upon them. it was actually god protecting them. praise
00:22:23.187 --> 00:22:26.690
God protecting them. praise god. man, i tell you, that is
00:22:26.757 --> 00:22:29.593
God. man, i tell you, that is awesome. if you've understood
00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:31.595
Awesome. if you've understood what i've said, this is...
00:22:31.662 --> 00:22:32.963
What i've said, this is... this will just radically,
00:22:33.030 --> 00:22:34.999
This will just radically, radically change the
00:22:35.065 --> 00:22:37.001
Radically change the way that you view god.
00:22:37.067 --> 00:22:37.902
And this is the true nature
00:22:38.502 --> 00:22:40.771
Of god. i'm laying a foundation,
00:22:40.771 --> 00:22:43.407
And i'm going to continue to go
00:22:43.407 --> 00:22:44.708
