  • Creflo: if you have your bibles, go with me to the book of st.
  • 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.910
  • John chapter 19,
  • 00:01:47.910 --> 00:01:54.416
  • Verse 28 through 30, st. john chapter 19,
  • 00:01:54.416 --> 00:01:59.521
  • In verse 28 through 30.
  • 00:01:59.521 --> 00:02:05.327
  • He says and, "after this, jesus knowing that all things were now
  • 00:02:05.327 --> 00:02:08.964
  • Accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he saith,
  • 00:02:08.964 --> 00:02:15.837
  • 'i thirst.'
  • 00:02:15.837 --> 00:02:18.640
  • Now there was set of vessel full of vinegar; and they filled a
  • 00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:23.712
  • Sponge with vinegar, and put it upon the hyssop, and put it to
  • 00:02:23.712 --> 00:02:29.518
  • His mouth.
  • 00:02:29.518 --> 00:02:32.221
  • When jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
  • 00:02:32.221 --> 00:02:38.493
  • 'it is finished:' and he bowed his head, and he gave up
  • 00:02:38.493 --> 00:02:45.300
  • The ghost."
  • 00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:49.037
  • This morning i wanna share with you from the subject of
  • 00:02:49.037 --> 00:02:55.444
  • "believing the finished works of christ, believing the finished
  • 00:02:55.444 --> 00:03:03.051
  • Works of christ."
  • 00:03:03.051 --> 00:03:06.521
  • My grandson said to me the other day, he says, "what's going on
  • 00:03:06.521 --> 00:03:11.560
  • With the body of christ?
  • 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:12.995
  • What's happening with the church?
  • 00:03:12.995 --> 00:03:14.529
  • Why they're not seeing some of the stuff they say?
  • 00:03:14.529 --> 00:03:18.100
  • And my response to him was, it's because the believers are
  • 00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:23.472
  • Not believing.
  • 00:03:23.472 --> 00:03:27.009
  • This is the one thing god requested of us is that we would
  • 00:03:27.009 --> 00:03:30.846
  • Believe, and we keep trying to add to that when he
  • 00:03:30.846 --> 00:03:37.019
  • Said believe.
  • 00:03:37.019 --> 00:03:40.389
  • And the scripture says, when they were trying to figure out
  • 00:03:40.389 --> 00:03:43.191
  • How to do all the works of miracles after they saw the
  • 00:03:43.191 --> 00:03:46.228
  • Multiplication of the bread and the fish, and they said, "we
  • 00:03:46.228 --> 00:03:50.232
  • Want to do these mighty works as well."
  • 00:03:50.232 --> 00:03:52.734
  • And the response in one translation says, "the only work
  • 00:03:52.734 --> 00:03:57.739
  • I want you to do is to believe in the one that i sent you."
  • 00:03:57.739 --> 00:04:04.980
  • How many believers do i have in the house this morning?
  • 00:04:04.980 --> 00:04:09.618
  • Okay, so we wanna deal with believing the finished works
  • 00:04:09.618 --> 00:04:16.558
  • Of christ.
  • 00:04:16.558 --> 00:04:20.028
  • The finished works of christ refers primarily to his death on
  • 00:04:20.028 --> 00:04:26.301
  • The cross, what was finished on the cross, there was something
  • 00:04:26.301 --> 00:04:29.838
  • Accomplished when we hear those three words, "it is finished."
  • 00:04:29.838 --> 00:04:33.041
  • A lot of believers just really don't know what is it that was
  • 00:04:33.041 --> 00:04:35.477
  • Finished, and then we began to articulate religiously, you
  • 00:04:35.477 --> 00:04:42.284
  • Know, our sins and eternal life, and we say those things, but we
  • 00:04:42.284 --> 00:04:45.854
  • Really don't have a real good revelation of what it is, what
  • 00:04:45.854 --> 00:04:48.924
  • Is it that was finished?
  • 00:04:48.924 --> 00:04:50.859
  • What is it that we need to begin to believe?
  • 00:04:50.859 --> 00:04:56.031
  • Now the cross, that's where the judgment of god against our sin
  • 00:04:56.031 --> 00:05:02.304
  • Was endured by christ, on that cross.
  • 00:05:02.304 --> 00:05:06.608
  • In fact, in the book of st. john, in the king james, if you
  • 00:05:06.608 --> 00:05:10.445
  • Turn there, st. john chapter 12, and verse 31 through 32, there
  • 00:05:10.445 --> 00:05:16.151
  • Was something that was said here, i don't know if a lot of
  • 00:05:16.151 --> 00:05:18.420
  • People really got it.
  • 00:05:18.420 --> 00:05:20.455
  • But he says, "now is the judgment of this world:" colon,
  • 00:05:20.455 --> 00:05:25.460
  • Which means he's getting ready to follow with a list of stuff.
  • 00:05:25.460 --> 00:05:28.530
  • "now is the judgment of this world," the subject is judgment.
  • 00:05:28.530 --> 00:05:33.769
  • "now is the judgment of this world," the subject is judgment.
  • 00:05:33.835 --> 00:05:40.208
  • "now shall the prince of the world be cast out.
  • 00:05:40.208 --> 00:05:45.013
  • And i, if i be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
  • 00:05:45.013 --> 00:05:52.354
  • Unto me."
  • 00:05:52.354 --> 00:05:54.623
  • Now, the word men in most of your bibles is in italicized.
  • 00:05:54.623 --> 00:05:59.428
  • It's because it didn't appear in the original greek transcript.
  • 00:05:59.428 --> 00:06:05.133
  • The subject is judgment, and when he said, "and i, if i be
  • 00:06:05.133 --> 00:06:10.172
  • Lifted up from the earth, i will draw all judgment unto me," or
  • 00:06:10.172 --> 00:06:16.545
  • The referring to men's judgment, he said, "when they put me on
  • 00:06:16.545 --> 00:06:20.515
  • That cross, every man's judgment i will draw to me, everybody's
  • 00:06:20.515 --> 00:06:26.922
  • Judgment i will draw to me."
  • 00:06:26.922 --> 00:06:29.758
  • You gotta understand that was a gift.
  • 00:06:29.758 --> 00:06:31.893
  • We would all be destined for hell had he not got on that
  • 00:06:31.893 --> 00:06:37.165
  • Cross and took on every sin and every sickness and every
  • 00:06:37.165 --> 00:06:43.872
  • Judgment for every man that would come on the earth.
  • 00:06:43.872 --> 00:06:47.676
  • He says, "i will be the substitute and i will take all
  • 00:06:47.676 --> 00:06:52.614
  • Of their," excuse my english, "i'm gonna take all their mess
  • 00:06:52.614 --> 00:06:57.619
  • And i'm gonna put it on my body."
  • 00:06:57.619 --> 00:07:00.989
  • He became our substitute in order to become our savior.
  • 00:07:00.989 --> 00:07:06.127
  • He would have never been our savior had he not become
  • 00:07:06.127 --> 00:07:09.030
  • Our substitute.
  • 00:07:09.030 --> 00:07:11.099
  • And so jesus was not our savior until he suffered and died for
  • 00:07:11.099 --> 00:07:17.239
  • Our sins on the cross.
  • 00:07:17.239 --> 00:07:20.275
  • He was our savior when he died and suffered on the cross.
  • 00:07:20.275 --> 00:07:26.047
  • How many you believe you have a savior today?
  • 00:07:26.047 --> 00:07:29.784
  • My god...
  • 00:07:29.784 --> 00:07:37.759
  • Three words describe the finished works of christ,
  • 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.863
  • Three words: first word, propitiation;
  • 00:07:41.863 --> 00:07:49.004
  • Second word, redemption; third word, reconciliation.
  • 00:07:49.004 --> 00:07:58.246
  • Those are a lot of nice sounding big words.
  • 00:07:58.246 --> 00:08:02.684
  • Let's break it down because you need to know what happened on
  • 00:08:02.684 --> 00:08:07.822
  • That cross, you need to know these words that describe the
  • 00:08:07.822 --> 00:08:12.961
  • Finished work of christ.
  • 00:08:12.961 --> 00:08:15.597
  • The first word, propitiation, this word deals with the wrath
  • 00:08:15.597 --> 00:08:23.104
  • Of god, it deals with the wrath that god had with man because
  • 00:08:23.104 --> 00:08:29.911
  • Of sin.
  • 00:08:29.911 --> 00:08:31.880
  • Now, in the old covenant, you see god as a judge, things
  • 00:08:31.880 --> 00:08:38.853
  • Happen to people because of his wrath against sin, and men would
  • 00:08:38.853 --> 00:08:45.694
  • Die if they complained.
  • 00:08:45.694 --> 00:08:48.997
  • At one point, god said, don't even touch the bottom of the
  • 00:08:48.997 --> 00:08:51.566
  • Mountain, you're gonna die.
  • 00:08:51.566 --> 00:08:54.069
  • And then he says, if you can't keep all of these commandments,
  • 00:08:54.069 --> 00:08:57.772
  • You're gonna be cursed and you're gonna die.
  • 00:08:57.772 --> 00:09:01.710
  • That was the father who was a judge.
  • 00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:05.914
  • Aren't you glad today we have a new covenant and we have god who
  • 00:09:05.914 --> 00:09:10.385
  • Is a father and not a judge?
  • 00:09:10.385 --> 00:09:12.520
  • We have god who gives a life and not cursing, i am.
  • 00:09:12.520 --> 00:09:21.129
  • This word propitiation, it means to satisfy wrath by a sacrifice,
  • 00:09:21.129 --> 00:09:28.536
  • Propitiation it's the sin offering.
  • 00:09:28.536 --> 00:09:33.441
  • It means the compensation, it means the payment, propitiation
  • 00:09:33.441 --> 00:09:40.482
  • It means the peace offering, it literally means a ransom that
  • 00:09:40.482 --> 00:09:46.621
  • Was paid to satisfy this wrath, my goodness.
  • 00:09:46.621 --> 00:09:53.294
  • Jesus was the propitiation,
  • 00:09:53.294 --> 00:09:58.199
  • He paid the ransom to satisfy the justice of god.
  • 00:09:58.199 --> 00:10:06.441
  • He paid the ransom so that you and i would no long--i know
  • 00:10:06.441 --> 00:10:13.748
  • That's right, somebody got it.
  • 00:10:13.748 --> 00:10:21.723
  • Look at this in romans chapter 6 and 23, something had to
  • 00:10:21.723 --> 00:10:28.163
  • Happen here.
  • 00:10:28.163 --> 00:10:29.497
  • In 6 and 23, he says, "the wages of sin is death."
  • 00:10:29.497 --> 00:10:32.967
  • That's what it was before jesus died on the cross, the justice
  • 00:10:32.967 --> 00:10:37.205
  • Of god was like this, if you sin, you die.
  • 00:10:37.205 --> 00:10:41.843
  • And i don't think people realize in the old testament, a lot of
  • 00:10:41.843 --> 00:10:44.746
  • People died because god is a god of justice and he couldn't let
  • 00:10:44.746 --> 00:10:51.820
  • You get away with this because it would put his integrity and
  • 00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:55.290
  • Justice on the line.
  • 00:10:55.290 --> 00:10:58.460
  • He said, "the wages of sin is death," but because jesus paid
  • 00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:03.998
  • The ransom, because he paid the compensation, because he was the
  • 00:11:03.998 --> 00:11:09.404
  • Compensation, because he was the sin offering, we now have the
  • 00:11:09.404 --> 00:11:14.142
  • Gift of god which is eternal life and we get that through the
  • 00:11:14.142 --> 00:11:19.013
  • Lord jesus christ, amen, and amen, and amen.
  • 00:11:19.013 --> 00:11:26.154
  • James chapter 1, and verse 15, flip over there real quick,
  • 00:11:26.154 --> 00:11:31.559
  • James 1:15 and i want you to get this, i want you to get this.
  • 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:38.366
  • We didn't come here just to have a little easter bunny shout.
  • 00:11:38.366 --> 00:11:45.673
  • No, he says, "then when lust hath conceived," here's how it
  • 00:11:45.673 --> 00:11:52.647
  • Was before jesus, "it brings forth sin: and then sin, when it
  • 00:11:52.647 --> 00:11:57.218
  • Is finished, it brings forth death."
  • 00:11:57.218 --> 00:12:00.388
  • There it is, there was just no other way, that's how it worked
  • 00:12:00.388 --> 00:12:04.692
  • Until jesus showed up in the picture.
  • 00:12:04.692 --> 00:12:08.163
  • Now, let's look at a couple of scriptures before we go on,
  • 00:12:08.163 --> 00:12:10.298
  • Romans chapter 3, and verse 25, propitiation, the sin offering,
  • 00:12:10.298 --> 00:12:16.671
  • He's the ransom that was paid to satisfy this sin debt.
  • 00:12:16.671 --> 00:12:22.877
  • In romans chapter 3:25 he says, "whom god has set forth to be a
  • 00:12:22.877 --> 00:12:27.448
  • Propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
  • 00:12:27.448 --> 00:12:32.754
  • Righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through
  • 00:12:32.754 --> 00:12:38.059
  • The forbearance of god;" there again, you see that jesus was
  • 00:12:38.059 --> 00:12:42.997
  • Our propitiation.
  • 00:12:42.997 --> 00:12:45.066
  • And then in 1 john chapter 2, and verse 2, understand this,
  • 00:12:45.066 --> 00:12:51.639
  • Now he says, "and he is the propitiation for our sin:" he is
  • 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.743
  • The compensation for our sins, he is the ransom paid for our
  • 00:12:55.743 --> 00:13:01.082
  • Sins, he is the peace offering for our sin, glory to god, and
  • 00:13:01.082 --> 00:13:06.020
  • Not for our sins only but also for the sins of the whole world.
  • 00:13:06.020 --> 00:13:11.626
  • So any man that's born on this planet that decides to accept
  • 00:13:11.626 --> 00:13:16.297
  • And receive jesus as lord and personal savior, his sins have
  • 00:13:16.297 --> 00:13:20.435
  • Already been taken care of.
  • 00:13:20.435 --> 00:13:22.403
  • He is now becoming a beneficiary of the ransom that was paid to
  • 00:13:22.403 --> 00:13:27.675
  • Set him free from sin, my goodness.
  • 00:13:27.675 --> 00:13:33.281
  • 1 john chapter 4, and verse 10, 1 john chapter 4 and verse 10,
  • 00:13:33.281 --> 00:13:41.089
  • "herein is love, not that we loved god, but that he loved
  • 00:13:41.089 --> 00:13:45.860
  • Us," and watch this love, "and he sent his son to be the
  • 00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:51.032
  • Propitiation for our sins."
  • 00:13:51.032 --> 00:13:53.668
  • He sent jesus to be the the sin offering, he sent jesus to be
  • 00:13:53.668 --> 00:13:58.573
  • The peace offering, he sent jesus to be the compensation, he
  • 00:13:58.573 --> 00:14:01.910
  • Sent jesus to be--jesus was the ransom, jesus didn't pay a
  • 00:14:01.910 --> 00:14:06.681
  • Ransom, he was the ransom that was paid,
  • 00:14:06.681 --> 00:14:14.689
  • My gosh.
  • 00:14:14.689 --> 00:14:16.724
  • Jesus took humanity's sin upon himself and he suffered the
  • 00:14:16.724 --> 00:14:22.463
  • Righteous judgment of god, and jesus not only died to take away
  • 00:14:22.463 --> 00:14:28.569
  • Man's sin debt, but he satisfied god's anger against sin, which
  • 00:14:28.569 --> 00:14:36.144
  • Means that god doesn't have this wrath anymore against us.
  • 00:14:36.144 --> 00:14:42.784
  • Now that the ransom has been paid, glory be to god, then the
  • 00:14:42.784 --> 00:14:49.991
  • Sin offering has been given, you need to understand something.
  • 00:14:49.991 --> 00:14:55.763
  • If this had not taken place, you would die and go to hell,
  • 00:14:55.763 --> 00:15:05.073
  • That's it.
  • 00:15:05.073 --> 00:15:06.474
  • I don't think we understand sometimes, oh yeah, right,
  • 00:15:06.474 --> 00:15:08.343
  • Right, right, yeah, that's fine until you die.
  • 00:15:08.343 --> 00:15:11.946
  • But you know when you're gonna really appreciate this, when you
  • 00:15:11.946 --> 00:15:15.350
  • Die and you don't go to a hell and you don't deal with the
  • 00:15:15.350 --> 00:15:20.421
  • Wrath of god and you thank jesus for being the ransom that's paid
  • 00:15:20.421 --> 00:15:25.960
  • For all of our sins.
  • 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.663
  • I know it's kinda hard to figure out sometimes, but he paid for
  • 00:15:28.663 --> 00:15:32.133
  • Your sin.
  • 00:15:32.133 --> 00:15:33.468
  • The sin meter was shut down when jesus showed up as the
  • 00:15:33.468 --> 00:15:38.206
  • Propitiation, there is no meter keeping up with your sins no
  • 00:15:38.206 --> 00:15:42.210
  • More, glory be to god.
  • 00:15:42.210 --> 00:15:44.479
  • Nobody's reading the meter anymore because jesus says, i'm
  • 00:15:44.479 --> 00:15:48.683
  • Gonna take all of your mess upon myself.
  • 00:15:48.683 --> 00:15:54.689
  • That's the first word and it dealt specifically with the
  • 00:15:58.860 --> 00:16:03.531
  • Wrath of god and jesus satisfied that wrath.
  • 00:16:03.531 --> 00:16:07.135
  • Here's the second word, redemption, not only was he the
  • 00:16:07.135 --> 00:16:13.241
  • Ransom that was paid, but the redemption.
  • 00:16:13.241 --> 00:16:16.344
  • Now redemption deals with our enslavement to sin, we were
  • 00:16:16.344 --> 00:16:23.551
  • Enslaved into sin.
  • 00:16:23.551 --> 00:16:26.821
  • To redeem means, "to buy out of," it means, "to remove from."
  • 00:16:26.821 --> 00:16:35.696
  • It literally means, "to buy out of and remove from the market in
  • 00:16:35.696 --> 00:16:42.904
  • Order to set at liberty."
  • 00:16:42.904 --> 00:16:46.340
  • See, there's no, your sin is no longer in the market, jesus
  • 00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:52.780
  • Showed up and bought the market out.
  • 00:16:52.780 --> 00:16:56.651
  • And anybody shows up and says, well, where is the sin, they
  • 00:16:56.651 --> 00:17:00.121
  • Say, "we apologize but it's sold out."
  • 00:17:00.121 --> 00:17:03.825
  • A man showed up and bought everybody's sin in the market
  • 00:17:03.825 --> 00:17:09.263
  • And we no longer carry it any longer, you don't hear me.
  • 00:17:09.263 --> 00:17:18.206
  • Now in the context of salvation, redemption refers to the work of
  • 00:17:18.206 --> 00:17:23.578
  • Christ in setting us free from the bondage of sin, slavery and
  • 00:17:23.578 --> 00:17:31.419
  • All of its awful consequences.
  • 00:17:31.419 --> 00:17:35.156
  • See as people who were enslaved in sin, there was a consequence
  • 00:17:35.156 --> 00:17:40.895
  • For being in that slavery.
  • 00:17:40.895 --> 00:17:43.831
  • Look at galatians chapter 3, and verse 13, galatians chapter 3,
  • 00:17:43.831 --> 00:17:50.872
  • And verse 13, he says, "christ has redeemed us," he has
  • 00:17:50.872 --> 00:17:56.611
  • Delivered us from the curse that comes from not being able to
  • 00:17:56.611 --> 00:18:05.853
  • Keep the law.
  • 00:18:05.853 --> 00:18:07.188
  • The curse of the law was this, that under the law, if you could
  • 00:18:07.188 --> 00:18:12.093
  • Not perfectly obey the law, there would be a curse.
  • 00:18:12.093 --> 00:18:17.231
  • A blessing if you could obey it, a curse if you could not
  • 00:18:17.231 --> 00:18:21.602
  • Obey it.
  • 00:18:21.602 --> 00:18:24.338
  • Well the blood of jesus did this, he says, "i am here to
  • 00:18:24.338 --> 00:18:31.212
  • Deliver you from the curse of not being able to keep all the
  • 00:18:31.212 --> 00:18:35.416
  • Law," y'all don't hear me.
  • 00:18:35.416 --> 00:18:39.854
  • Yeah, "and you may complain but i bought you out, you're not
  • 00:18:39.854 --> 00:18:43.691
  • Gonna fall dead.
  • 00:18:43.691 --> 00:18:45.993
  • I am here to deliver you from the curse that comes without
  • 00:18:45.993 --> 00:18:51.666
  • Being able to keep the law."
  • 00:18:51.666 --> 00:18:53.000
  • He says, "being made a curse for us," so what did he do?
  • 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.170
  • He said "i'm gonna, instead of you having to be cursed for not
  • 00:18:56.170 --> 00:19:01.275
  • Being able to keep the law, i'm gonna receive your curse and
  • 00:19:01.275 --> 00:19:05.746
  • Then i'm gonna keep every jot and tittle of the law.
  • 00:19:05.746 --> 00:19:10.218
  • You couldn't keep it all but i can."
  • 00:19:10.218 --> 00:19:13.254
  • So he says, "step aside, little brother, little sister, i'm
  • 00:19:13.254 --> 00:19:16.857
  • Getting ready to do what you could not do and i'm getting
  • 00:19:16.857 --> 00:19:19.627
  • Ready to take what was due to you and i'm gonna put it on
  • 00:19:19.627 --> 00:19:22.830
  • Myself, yet i've never broken the law and yet i will keep
  • 00:19:22.830 --> 00:19:27.401
  • Every bit of the law, but i'm showing up for you only.
  • 00:19:27.401 --> 00:19:30.771
  • I want you to know that i love you, i want you to know that
  • 00:19:30.771 --> 00:19:33.741
  • I'll be your savior, i want you to know that i'll set you free,
  • 00:19:33.741 --> 00:19:37.511
  • And today no more curse."
  • 00:19:37.511 --> 00:19:45.620
  • Oh jesus.
  • 00:19:48.956 --> 00:19:55.129
  • Look at verse 4, same book, same chapter, well,
  • 00:19:55.129 --> 00:20:00.401
  • Galatians 4, verse 5, galatians 4, verse 5, i want you
  • 00:20:00.401 --> 00:20:04.905
  • To see these scriptures, but at the end of this, it's all about
  • 00:20:04.905 --> 00:20:08.309
  • Do you believe it?
  • 00:20:08.309 --> 00:20:11.879
  • Verse 5 says, "to redeem them," he came here to redeem them that
  • 00:20:11.879 --> 00:20:16.817
  • Were under the law, "to redeem them that were under the law,
  • 00:20:16.817 --> 00:20:21.322
  • That we might receive the adoption of sons."
  • 00:20:21.322 --> 00:20:25.693
  • We're no longer servants, we're sons.
  • 00:20:25.693 --> 00:20:28.095
  • Under the old covenant, they were servants, under this new
  • 00:20:28.095 --> 00:20:30.398
  • Covenant, we're sons.
  • 00:20:30.398 --> 00:20:32.433
  • Ephesians chapter 1 and 7, yeah, taking the time to look at
  • 00:20:32.433 --> 00:20:37.638
  • These, you must be convinced that without jesus,
  • 00:20:37.638 --> 00:20:41.108
  • We're nothing.
  • 00:20:41.108 --> 00:20:42.476
  • You must be convinced that your righteousness is not gonna be
  • 00:20:42.476 --> 00:20:46.147
  • Enough, you're gonna have to be righteous with the righteousness
  • 00:20:46.147 --> 00:20:49.650
  • Of jesus christ.
  • 00:20:49.650 --> 00:20:51.018
  • Jesus has got to be your righteousness.
  • 00:20:51.018 --> 00:20:53.554
  • Verse 7 says, "in whom we have," what?
  • 00:20:53.554 --> 00:20:55.890
  • Redemption, how did we get it?
  • 00:20:55.890 --> 00:20:57.992
  • Through his blood, we got the, "forgiveness of sins according
  • 00:20:57.992 --> 00:21:03.631
  • To the riches of his grace.
  • 00:21:03.631 --> 00:21:06.467
  • We have the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of
  • 00:21:06.467 --> 00:21:11.572
  • His grace."
  • 00:21:11.572 --> 00:21:13.074
  • Now, i know that there are a lot of messy things in the lives
  • 00:21:13.074 --> 00:21:17.411
  • That are represented here, but i wanna really encourage you, god
  • 00:21:17.411 --> 00:21:22.416
  • Has forgiven you of your sins.
  • 00:21:22.416 --> 00:21:24.819
  • Watch this, now, this is the part that gets people, he has
  • 00:21:24.819 --> 00:21:28.322
  • Forgiven you of your sins, past, present, and future.
  • 00:21:28.322 --> 00:21:37.665
  • Now you all believe that he forgave you of your sins in the
  • 00:21:37.665 --> 00:21:40.868
  • Past, but your sins in the past, were in his future
  • 00:21:40.868 --> 00:21:45.639
  • When he did it, y'all don't hear me.
  • 00:21:45.639 --> 00:21:50.644
  • He forgave you of your past sins, but it was your future.
  • 00:21:50.644 --> 00:21:55.516
  • So, you know, people say, "well, how he gonna forgive you of your
  • 00:21:55.516 --> 00:21:57.852
  • Future sins?"
  • 00:21:57.852 --> 00:21:59.186
  • He already has, in the past when he was, he died on that cross,
  • 00:21:59.186 --> 00:22:03.424
  • And you were not even thought about, you were not even formed
  • 00:22:03.424 --> 00:22:05.960
  • Into a fetus in the past when he did all of this for you, you
  • 00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:10.197
  • Hadn't even been born, so he took care of your future in the
  • 00:22:10.197 --> 00:22:14.168
  • Past, which means in your present, and you got to believe
  • 00:22:14.168 --> 00:22:19.507
  • That the only person right now that keeps remembering your sin
  • 00:22:19.507 --> 00:22:24.145
  • Is you.
  • 00:22:24.145 --> 00:22:27.014
  • And right now you got to believe that my sins are forgiven.
  • 00:22:27.014 --> 00:22:31.051
  • Somebody says, "but you don't understand what i did on the way
  • 00:22:31.051 --> 00:22:33.454
  • Here," your sins are forgiven.
  • 00:22:33.454 --> 00:22:35.923
  • The blood of jesus is more powerful than your sin, the
  • 00:22:35.923 --> 00:22:39.827
  • Grace of god is more powerful than your sin.
  • 00:22:39.827 --> 00:22:43.597
  • I'm talking church rejoice, because his blood has taken care
  • 00:22:43.597 --> 00:22:47.802
  • Of your sins, past, present, and future.
