  • 00:00:18.596 --> 00:00:21.933
  • Talk about hell, why?
  • 00:00:21.933 --> 00:00:23.267

  • I ain't planning on going.
  • 00:00:30.908 --> 00:00:32.276
  • You need to know nothing about hell, why?
  • 00:00:32.276 --> 00:00:33.945
  • Because since i've been under grace, we good, ain't nobody
  • 00:00:33.945 --> 00:00:37.582
  • Going there but somebody who wanna go there.

  • 00:01:02.673 --> 00:01:06.144

  • Creflo: let's take it just a little farther here now.
  • 00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:12.009
  • The life and the fact that believing is the condition for
  • 00:02:12.009 --> 00:02:17.148
  • Receiving life, you see that clear, believing is the
  • 00:02:17.148 --> 00:02:20.284
  • Condition for receiving life, again, shows that life is
  • 00:02:20.284 --> 00:02:24.722
  • Of grace.
  • 00:02:24.722 --> 00:02:26.257
  • Life is of grace.
  • 00:02:26.257 --> 00:02:29.227
  • The life that we have is a life that is of grace.
  • 00:02:29.227 --> 00:02:34.865
  • We keep trying to figure out how we can take credit for the life
  • 00:02:34.865 --> 00:02:38.369
  • That we have.
  • 00:02:38.369 --> 00:02:39.737
  • The life that we have is of the grace of god, amen?
  • 00:02:39.737 --> 00:02:44.976
  • Alright, and so it is of faith, romans 4:16, let's go there.
  • 00:02:44.976 --> 00:02:50.181
  • It is of faith that it might be by grace.
  • 00:02:50.181 --> 00:02:53.818
  • I'm gonna show you, and i think you already see it, you can't
  • 00:02:53.818 --> 00:03:00.124
  • Separate faith from grace.
  • 00:03:00.124 --> 00:03:03.828
  • You already see this, and it ain't no such thing as, well,
  • 00:03:03.828 --> 00:03:08.499
  • The grace folks say that and the faith folks say that.
  • 00:03:08.499 --> 00:03:11.636
  • If you got one of them, you got the other one.
  • 00:03:11.636 --> 00:03:15.773
  • You can't separate this.
  • 00:03:15.773 --> 00:03:17.108
  • Look at this, he says, "therefore it is of faith, that
  • 00:03:17.108 --> 00:03:20.778
  • It might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all
  • 00:03:20.778 --> 00:03:25.950
  • The seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also
  • 00:03:25.950 --> 00:03:31.455
  • Which is of the faith of abraham."
  • 00:03:31.455 --> 00:03:36.193
  • You cannot have--he said believe that you have this life, believe
  • 00:03:36.193 --> 00:03:45.836
  • That you have this life through the name of jesus.
  • 00:03:45.836 --> 00:03:49.006
  • The consequences is grace and truth comes, and then that grace
  • 00:03:49.006 --> 00:03:53.878
  • Will reign unto eternal life unto jesus christ.
  • 00:03:53.878 --> 00:03:57.748
  • I don't see how you can separate faith from grace.
  • 00:03:57.748 --> 00:04:05.022
  • In fact, i think what we gotta be careful about is trying to
  • 00:04:05.022 --> 00:04:11.062
  • Separate faith from grace and then start using our faith for
  • 00:04:11.062 --> 00:04:14.065
  • Law based stuff.
  • 00:04:14.065 --> 00:04:17.501
  • Yeah, you see that?
  • 00:04:17.501 --> 00:04:19.904
  • And then you turn faith into, like, this magic wand, and you
  • 00:04:19.904 --> 00:04:24.008
  • Use it to fulfill everything except what grace has
  • 00:04:24.008 --> 00:04:27.445
  • Made available.
  • 00:04:27.445 --> 00:04:28.879
  • See, grace has already made everything available, but we
  • 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.515
  • Separate it from grace and now what's happening?
  • 00:04:31.515 --> 00:04:34.518
  • It's almost like when purpose is not understood, abuse
  • 00:04:34.518 --> 00:04:42.960
  • Is inevitable.
  • 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:46.797
  • So, what about--what about grace?
  • 00:04:46.797 --> 00:04:51.602
  • It cannot function without faith and life can't produce--the life
  • 00:04:51.602 --> 00:04:59.777
  • Of grace can't be seen and produced without this faith.
  • 00:04:59.777 --> 00:05:05.750
  • So, whatever is of grace is going to have to be by faith,
  • 00:05:05.750 --> 00:05:14.425
  • Because in believing you have life.
  • 00:05:14.425 --> 00:05:20.631
  • Whoo, man, if we'd have heard this thing, you know?
  • 00:05:20.631 --> 00:05:23.901
  • Nobody wants to talk about really the foundational stuff,
  • 00:05:23.901 --> 00:05:26.437
  • We wanna already get to the goody goody.
  • 00:05:26.437 --> 00:05:28.172
  • I'm at the goody goody.
  • 00:05:28.172 --> 00:05:29.540
  • I'm still thinking about that black velvet background.
  • 00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:35.279
  • Yeah, yeah, and so, okay, so you've been through some stuff,
  • 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:41.619
  • And i don't make light of that, and a lot of things you
  • 00:05:41.619 --> 00:05:45.256
  • Didn't understand.
  • 00:05:45.256 --> 00:05:46.824
  • That don't mean we're supposed to be mad at everybody because
  • 00:05:46.824 --> 00:05:49.260
  • We didn't understand it.
  • 00:05:49.260 --> 00:05:51.195
  • We understand it now, but what it means is the beauty of that
  • 00:05:51.195 --> 00:05:55.433
  • Grace diamond should move you to wanna share that with somebody
  • 00:05:55.433 --> 00:05:59.069
  • Else who's stuck in the background, and you can show
  • 00:05:59.069 --> 00:06:03.207
  • Them no, no, no, you're not meant to be stuck on the black,
  • 00:06:03.207 --> 00:06:09.613
  • You meant to stand in front of it so we can see the brilliance
  • 00:06:09.613 --> 00:06:13.684
  • Of your life that is now in grace.
  • 00:06:13.684 --> 00:06:15.553
  • Now, look at your life now that it's in grace.
  • 00:06:15.553 --> 00:06:18.055
  • Compare it to what you came out of.
  • 00:06:18.055 --> 00:06:21.225
  • You can't even understand why you like you are.
  • 00:06:21.225 --> 00:06:23.661
  • I mean, you look at stuff in your life you're like, you know,
  • 00:06:23.661 --> 00:06:26.030
  • You look at certain stupid stuff you used to wanna do, and you're
  • 00:06:26.030 --> 00:06:28.999
  • Like, where did that go?
  • 00:06:28.999 --> 00:06:31.235
  • And then you see the continuous glory and brilliance of this
  • 00:06:31.235 --> 00:06:37.374
  • Grace and you begin to just be grateful and so thankful for
  • 00:06:37.374 --> 00:06:42.980
  • God, and then you try to figure out, somebody say how y'all
  • 00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:46.484
  • Do that?
  • 00:06:46.484 --> 00:06:48.152
  • You don't have but one answer.
  • 00:06:48.152 --> 00:06:51.655
  • I mean, you don't have but--how y'all do that?
  • 00:06:51.655 --> 00:06:55.960
  • I believe in jesus.
  • 00:06:55.960 --> 00:06:58.162
  • I believe he's the christ.
  • 00:06:58.162 --> 00:07:00.197
  • I believe he's the son of god.
  • 00:07:00.197 --> 00:07:02.366
  • And in believing i have life, hallelujah, through his name,
  • 00:07:02.366 --> 00:07:09.440
  • And the name is what you are and what you've done.
  • 00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:11.575
  • Glory be to god, through his name, through his authority i
  • 00:07:11.575 --> 00:07:14.411
  • Have that, and this grace rules unto eternal life.
  • 00:07:14.411 --> 00:07:23.921
  • Yay, yay, wow, this is in the gospel of john, sounds like this
  • 00:07:23.921 --> 00:07:32.096
  • Is gonna be a grace book.
  • 00:07:32.096 --> 00:07:34.932
  • You're gonna learn probably some things about the gospel of grace
  • 00:07:34.932 --> 00:07:37.968
  • In this book that's just gonna absolutely just blow your mind.
  • 00:07:37.968 --> 00:07:43.407
  • So, grace and truth is what we're looking at.
  • 00:07:43.407 --> 00:07:46.911
  • Now, i wanna remind you of something here.
  • 00:07:46.911 --> 00:07:48.579
  • Go to 2 corinthians 3 and 7, i need you to remember that the
  • 00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:52.249
  • Law given through moses, look at what they call the law that was
  • 00:07:52.249 --> 00:07:59.156
  • Given through moses.
  • 00:07:59.156 --> 00:08:00.791
  • You ready for this now?
  • 00:08:00.791 --> 00:08:02.192
  • Watch this, "but if the ministration of death, written
  • 00:08:02.192 --> 00:08:08.332
  • And engraven in stones, was glorious."
  • 00:08:08.332 --> 00:08:13.003
  • Alright, so let's stop just for a moment now.
  • 00:08:13.003 --> 00:08:16.840
  • What was written and engraven in stone?
  • 00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:24.348
  • Well, you had those ten engraven in stones and then you
  • 00:08:24.348 --> 00:08:27.618
  • Had the rest of them in tablets.
  • 00:08:27.618 --> 00:08:31.255
  • Remember, it was trying to keep the ten commandments through the
  • 00:08:31.255 --> 00:08:38.429
  • Administration of rules, okay?
  • 00:08:38.429 --> 00:08:43.100
  • Nothing wrong with the ten commandments, the problem was
  • 00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:46.136
  • You were trying to perfect it through rule keeping.
  • 00:08:46.136 --> 00:08:51.709
  • So, somebody says throw the ten commandments away.
  • 00:08:51.709 --> 00:08:55.212
  • No, no, no, no, the ten commandments without the holy
  • 00:08:55.212 --> 00:08:59.850
  • Spirit is going to minister death, and that's what happened.
  • 00:08:59.850 --> 00:09:07.257
  • Now go back and read the old testament.
  • 00:09:07.257 --> 00:09:09.059
  • People died for all kinds of reasons.
  • 00:09:09.059 --> 00:09:12.396
  • You better not touch the bottom of the mountain.
  • 00:09:12.396 --> 00:09:14.164
  • Touch the bottom of the mountain, they got dead
  • 00:09:14.164 --> 00:09:15.499
  • Folks everywhere.
  • 00:09:15.499 --> 00:09:16.867
  • Better not complain.
  • 00:09:16.867 --> 00:09:18.202
  • I mean, they were, like, what, what, 40-some-thousand people
  • 00:09:18.202 --> 00:09:22.439
  • That fell dead for complaining.
  • 00:09:22.439 --> 00:09:24.608
  • What if that was today?
  • 00:09:24.608 --> 00:09:29.246
  • I'd be preaching to myself for ten minutes and then i'll
  • 00:09:29.246 --> 00:09:32.549
  • Join you.
  • 00:09:32.549 --> 00:09:37.788
  • Are y'all following what i'm saying?
  • 00:09:37.788 --> 00:09:41.892
  • Let me remind you, he calls it the ministration of death, that
  • 00:09:41.892 --> 00:09:48.699
  • Which was written, alright, what was written and engraven, okay?
  • 00:09:48.699 --> 00:09:54.338
  • So, together they're the law, but then we take the moral side
  • 00:09:54.338 --> 00:09:59.743
  • Out, the ten commandments, it's perfect, it's flawless, it's all
  • 00:09:59.743 --> 00:10:05.649
  • That, but it's too perfect for fallen man to try to keep
  • 00:10:05.649 --> 00:10:10.154
  • Something like that through keeping rules.
  • 00:10:10.154 --> 00:10:12.589
  • So, you say, alright, the way i'm going to keep law number six
  • 00:10:12.589 --> 00:10:18.128
  • Is i can't do this, i can't do that, i can't eat that, i can't
  • 00:10:18.128 --> 00:10:20.764
  • Do that, i can't eat that.
  • 00:10:20.764 --> 00:10:22.099
  • Gotta wear, you know, a long dress, can't wear no pants,
  • 00:10:22.099 --> 00:10:24.034
  • Gotta do that, and then they were hoping by making it
  • 00:10:24.034 --> 00:10:27.504
  • Mandatory that you keep all the rules that somehow it would
  • 00:10:27.504 --> 00:10:31.675
  • Bring to pass the morality of the law or the ten commandments.
  • 00:10:31.675 --> 00:10:38.482
  • So, what changed was, is we went in the new testament and we
  • 00:10:38.482 --> 00:10:44.655
  • Found out there was a better way to do this because everybody
  • 00:10:44.655 --> 00:10:47.424
  • Was dying.
  • 00:10:47.424 --> 00:10:48.759
  • Everybody was dying.
  • 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.627
  • I mean, nobody could keep it, everybody was dying.
  • 00:10:50.627 --> 00:10:53.130
  • Everybody in the wilderness was dying, and he was just like,
  • 00:10:53.130 --> 00:10:58.135
  • Dude, we gotta do something or we're not gonna have nobody,
  • 00:10:58.135 --> 00:11:01.271
  • Okay, and the only reason they did the law in the first place
  • 00:11:01.271 --> 00:11:03.307
  • Is because they were doing crazy stuff.
  • 00:11:03.307 --> 00:11:04.742
  • There was no standard or nothing, i mean, brothers
  • 00:11:04.742 --> 00:11:06.910
  • Killing brothers and they're like, well, we gotta put some
  • 00:11:06.910 --> 00:11:09.113
  • Kind of standard in place until we can get this thing going.
  • 00:11:09.113 --> 00:11:12.816
  • But it wasn't like that surprised god, god wasn't
  • 00:11:12.816 --> 00:11:15.419
  • Progressively doing things, he already had it all.
  • 00:11:15.419 --> 00:11:21.058
  • It wasn't even figured out, he allowed what happened to happen
  • 00:11:21.058 --> 00:11:26.630
  • Because he knew when man fell in the garden what had to happen to
  • 00:11:26.630 --> 00:11:32.970
  • Get him back right.
  • 00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:37.374
  • He wasn't responding to how you was acting.
  • 00:11:37.374 --> 00:11:40.611
  • You go cut somebody off, well, i guess i gotta do this to him now
  • 00:11:40.611 --> 00:11:43.514
  • Because he did that.
  • 00:11:43.514 --> 00:11:44.848
  • No, no, no, no, he called the end from the beginning.
  • 00:11:44.848 --> 00:11:52.356
  • We still get this idea that whatever god's doing, he's doing
  • 00:11:52.356 --> 00:11:56.660
  • It as a result of what you did.
  • 00:11:56.660 --> 00:11:58.562
  • Ah, i said it, i said it.
  • 00:11:58.562 --> 00:12:00.731
  • You do, you do, because i thought that.
  • 00:12:00.731 --> 00:12:02.166
  • Well, he's doing it as a result of what i did.
  • 00:12:02.166 --> 00:12:05.002
  • No, no, no, he done already did what he done did, what you do
  • 00:12:05.002 --> 00:12:10.808
  • Ain't gonna change what he done already did and has already made
  • 00:12:10.808 --> 00:12:15.212
  • Provision for whatever you do.
  • 00:12:15.212 --> 00:12:20.551
  • But that pearl in front of that black velvet background, boy,
  • 00:12:20.551 --> 00:12:24.721
  • Wow, wow.
  • 00:12:24.721 --> 00:12:28.759
  • So, the law by moses was called
  • 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:37.167
  • The ministration of death, and that's exactly what happened.
  • 00:12:37.167 --> 00:12:40.404
  • Now, isn't it amazing that a lot of the church, they're fighting
  • 00:12:40.404 --> 00:12:44.808
  • The message of grace so they can get to keep the ministration
  • 00:12:44.808 --> 00:12:48.846
  • Of death.
  • 00:12:48.846 --> 00:12:52.649
  • Yeah, because, you know, "creflo done lost his mind, telling them
  • 00:12:52.649 --> 00:12:58.589
  • People they can just go on and sin without consequences."
  • 00:12:58.589 --> 00:13:01.291
  • Well, first of all, i ain't say that.
  • 00:13:01.291 --> 00:13:04.595
  • That went wrong right now, people talking about what
  • 00:13:04.595 --> 00:13:06.330
  • Somebody done said and they don't even know what somebody
  • 00:13:06.330 --> 00:13:08.632
  • Done said.
  • 00:13:08.632 --> 00:13:09.967
  • Hush your mouth.
  • 00:13:09.967 --> 00:13:11.902
  • You're fighting to operate in the administration of death.
  • 00:13:11.902 --> 00:13:20.410
  • Now, how did he correct it?
  • 00:13:20.410 --> 00:13:22.446
  • He says, "i got a better covenant with better promises,
  • 00:13:22.446 --> 00:13:25.382
  • So here's what we're gonna do.
  • 00:13:25.382 --> 00:13:27.484
  • I already know you can't keep none of this, okay, so ain't no
  • 00:13:27.484 --> 00:13:32.856
  • Use of me trying.
  • 00:13:32.856 --> 00:13:34.258
  • So, i'm gonna take jesus, who can keep all of it, and you
  • 00:13:34.258 --> 00:13:39.529
  • Gonna go in, all y'all gonna go in on his ticket, but it's gonna
  • 00:13:39.529 --> 00:13:43.400
  • Require you to believe in the son of god, believe that he is
  • 00:13:43.400 --> 00:13:46.837
  • The christ in order for that to happen, because you ain't gonna
  • 00:13:46.837 --> 00:13:49.873
  • Be able to do it by yourself.
  • 00:13:49.873 --> 00:13:51.775
  • You can't do it by yourself, it ain't gonna work."
  • 00:13:51.775 --> 00:13:55.012
  • He the way in, because you got some stains somewhere.
  • 00:13:55.012 --> 00:14:00.150
  • Everybody say, "somewhere."
  • 00:14:00.150 --> 00:14:01.518
  • Somewhere, you got some stains somewhere, they might be hidden
  • 00:14:01.518 --> 00:14:05.956
  • Stains, you know, some of them stains, i ain't gonna go there,
  • 00:14:05.956 --> 00:14:11.862
  • You know.
  • 00:14:11.862 --> 00:14:13.830
  • Some of those things you gotta have the brush and the clorox,
  • 00:14:13.830 --> 00:14:19.503
  • And because i think we missed this foundational teaching, this
  • 00:14:19.503 --> 00:14:23.573
  • Progression here, you see that there's no way your involvement
  • 00:14:23.573 --> 00:14:29.279
  • Can fix something that's perfect.
  • 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.848
  • So, he said, i'm gonna send you my spirit, and the holy spirit
  • 00:14:31.848 --> 00:14:36.653
  • Is now gonna be the new administrator for morality.
  • 00:14:36.653 --> 00:14:41.959
  • And so, paul comes along and he says it is still good, children,
  • 00:14:41.959 --> 00:14:45.095
  • For you to obey your parents, okay?
  • 00:14:45.095 --> 00:14:48.332
  • Somebody says, well, there go the ten commandments
  • 00:14:48.332 --> 00:14:50.000
  • Right there.
  • 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.368
  • No, no, no, what he is saying is it's still good for you to obey
  • 00:14:51.368 --> 00:14:53.804
  • Your parents, but i'm not depending on you to do it in
  • 00:14:53.804 --> 00:14:56.740
  • Your own effort, i am here to help you.
  • 00:14:56.740 --> 00:15:00.744
  • That's why god poured me on the inside of you, and the first
  • 00:15:00.744 --> 00:15:03.947
  • Thing i did is release the love of god on the inside of you, and
  • 00:15:03.947 --> 00:15:07.684
  • Now you're going to know how to do some stuff by intuition.
  • 00:15:07.684 --> 00:15:12.622
  • You just know that's wrong without reading no scripture.
  • 00:15:12.622 --> 00:15:15.892
  • You just know you're not supposed to do that without
  • 00:15:15.892 --> 00:15:17.627
  • Reading no scripture, and that's what happened, i think, was
  • 00:15:17.627 --> 00:15:20.697
  • With joseph.
  • 00:15:20.697 --> 00:15:22.132
  • Now, let me see, yeah, joseph was a servant at his, you know,
  • 00:15:22.132 --> 00:15:27.270
  • Potiphar's wife, and she came on to him, you know, a cougar,
  • 00:15:27.270 --> 00:15:33.577
  • You know, and she came on to the young man, and when she came on
  • 00:15:33.577 --> 00:15:38.281
  • To the young man, here's what he did, watch this, watch this.
  • 00:15:38.281 --> 00:15:43.453
  • Ain't red no nothing, watch this, watch this, he ran, and
  • 00:15:43.453 --> 00:15:49.092
  • Read the scripture, he knew in his heart that that would
  • 00:15:49.092 --> 00:15:54.031
  • Displease god and his master.
  • 00:15:54.031 --> 00:15:56.767
  • He knew in his heart, that's what he said.
  • 00:15:56.767 --> 00:15:59.102
  • "in this new covenant, this is gonna be a heart thing.
  • 00:15:59.102 --> 00:16:02.072
  • I'm gonna write my laws on your heart and write them in your
  • 00:16:02.072 --> 00:16:05.175
  • Mind and you ain't got to teach you what is true or not, you
  • 00:16:05.175 --> 00:16:08.912
  • Gonna know it because i'm gonna be in there, and by intuition
  • 00:16:08.912 --> 00:16:12.682
  • You gonna know that you know that you know that you know."
  • 00:16:12.682 --> 00:16:21.291
  • Boy, what a time we gonna have in this thing right here.
  • 00:16:21.291 --> 00:16:26.596
  • Okay, so under the law, works replace grace.
  • 00:16:26.596 --> 00:16:35.572
  • If you back up, romans chapter 11 and 6, works replace grace,
  • 00:16:35.572 --> 00:16:42.279
  • And religion is based in works replacing grace, and that's
  • 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:51.755
  • What's going on in churches right now, works
  • 00:16:51.755 --> 00:16:54.724
  • Replacing grace.
  • 00:16:54.724 --> 00:16:57.594
  • So, if that's a part of the law, then you are frustrating the
  • 00:16:57.594 --> 00:17:04.134
  • Grace of god.
  • 00:17:04.134 --> 00:17:06.970
  • Imagine, let me bring where we are now, you're trying to do
  • 00:17:06.970 --> 00:17:09.739
  • Something for somebody for free and they keep trying to work
  • 00:17:09.739 --> 00:17:13.376
  • For it.
  • 00:17:13.376 --> 00:17:14.711
  • Isn't that frustrating?
  • 00:17:14.711 --> 00:17:16.079
  • "oh, no, no, no, i'm gonna do it, i'm gonna do it, i'm gonna
  • 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.849
  • Give you a lift."
  • 00:17:18.849 --> 00:17:20.383
  • "no, but take this $5, i know you need some gas."
  • 00:17:20.383 --> 00:17:21.852
  • "no, i wanna do it for you."
  • 00:17:21.852 --> 00:17:23.753
  • "no, just go ahead and take it."
  • 00:17:23.753 --> 00:17:25.122
  • "look, i gotta go."
  • 00:17:25.122 --> 00:17:27.524
  • You're frustrated because what you're trying to do for
  • 00:17:27.524 --> 00:17:31.628
  • No cost,
  • 00:17:31.628 --> 00:17:33.363
  • They feel like they need to do it so they can feel better, and
  • 00:17:33.363 --> 00:17:39.002
  • What they're wanting to do is motivated by guilt, so you know
  • 00:17:39.002 --> 00:17:44.941
  • It's not there.
  • 00:17:44.941 --> 00:17:46.276
  • So, we have to have a whole reset when the bible says
  • 00:17:46.276 --> 00:17:50.280
  • Repent, for the kingdom of god is at hand.
  • 00:17:50.280 --> 00:17:54.985
  • Actually what it says is repent and believe the gospel, for the
  • 00:17:54.985 --> 00:18:00.657
  • Kingdom of god is at hand.
  • 00:18:00.657 --> 00:18:01.992
  • Repent means to literally change your mind or change your
  • 00:18:01.992 --> 00:18:04.895
  • Thinking about what you used to think about.
  • 00:18:04.895 --> 00:18:07.297
  • So, what happens when you have, you know, you got one side
  • 00:18:07.297 --> 00:18:11.968
  • Preaching, alright, so here's how we ought to be living, no,
  • 00:18:11.968 --> 00:18:15.438
  • No, no, no, no, you gotta talk about hell.
  • 00:18:15.438 --> 00:18:17.340
  • You gotta talk about hell, why?
  • 00:18:17.340 --> 00:18:18.675
  • We don't plan on going, why we gotta talk about hell?
  • 00:18:18.675 --> 00:18:22.746
  • You plan on going?
  • 00:18:22.746 --> 00:18:24.080
  • Well, you talk about hell.
  • 00:18:24.080 --> 00:18:25.448
  • I ain't planning on going.
  • 00:18:25.448 --> 00:18:27.751
  • You need to know nothing about hell, why?
  • 00:18:27.751 --> 00:18:29.686
  • Because since i've been under grace, we good, ain't nobody
  • 00:18:29.686 --> 00:18:33.323
  • Going there but somebody who wanna go there.
  • 00:18:33.323 --> 00:18:36.259
  • You trying to say ain't nobody going to hell?
  • 00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:37.794
  • You might be going to hell, but we're not going because we
  • 00:18:37.794 --> 00:18:40.463
  • Believe in jesus, and now we have eternal life through his
  • 00:18:40.463 --> 00:18:44.568
  • Name, praise god, and we got grace and truth, hallelujah, and
  • 00:18:44.568 --> 00:18:48.805
  • This grace rules unto eternal life.
  • 00:18:48.805 --> 00:18:54.377
  • So, why do we need to be talking about hell?
  • 00:18:54.377 --> 00:18:57.214
  • Well, so the people who are going to hell.
  • 00:18:57.214 --> 00:19:00.517
  • Well, i mean, you know, i'll tell them.
  • 00:19:00.517 --> 00:19:02.652
  • Alright, you need to get saved or you're going to hell, and
  • 00:19:02.652 --> 00:19:04.254
  • Then i don't.
  • 00:19:04.254 --> 00:19:05.589
  • Once they get saved, i don't want to talk to them about hell.
  • 00:19:05.589 --> 00:19:08.058
  • I'm not denying the existence of hell, i'm not denying that
  • 00:19:08.058 --> 00:19:11.528
  • People are gonna go to hell, i'm just denying that you who
  • 00:19:11.528 --> 00:19:15.298
  • Believe in jesus gonna go to hell.
  • 00:19:15.298 --> 00:19:17.734
  • You who believe in jesus, y'all ain't going to hell.
  • 00:19:17.734 --> 00:19:21.938
  • Y'all ain't going to hell.
  • 00:19:21.938 --> 00:19:23.473
  • I don't care what you read, i don't care what people say.
  • 00:19:23.473 --> 00:19:26.209
  • You know, some folks, if you cough wrong they wanna put you
  • 00:19:26.209 --> 00:19:28.478
  • In hell right quick.
  • 00:19:28.478 --> 00:19:29.846
  • You're going to hell for that cough.
  • 00:19:29.846 --> 00:19:31.181
  • You're going to hell because you didn't cover your mouth.
  • 00:19:31.181 --> 00:19:32.549
  • You should have covered your mouth when you coughed.
  • 00:19:32.549 --> 00:19:33.883
  • See there, you're going to hell.
  • 00:19:33.883 --> 00:19:35.252
  • You be there by 3 o'clock, i guarantee you.
  • 00:19:35.252 --> 00:19:38.955
  • No, man, that's not us, that's not us.
  • 00:19:38.955 --> 00:19:43.827
  • Aren't you glad that's not us?
  • 00:19:43.827 --> 00:19:46.763
  • Use your imagination to see grace like a diamond fixed in
  • 00:19:46.763 --> 00:19:52.202
  • Front of a black velvet background.
  • 00:19:52.202 --> 00:19:55.605
  • Oh my goodness, amen?
  • 00:19:55.605 --> 00:19:59.442
  • So, the law was given through moses, now think about this,
  • 00:19:59.442 --> 00:20:03.980
  • This is cool, this is a good one.
  • 00:20:03.980 --> 00:20:06.082
  • The law was given by moses, moses, a mere human
  • 00:20:06.082 --> 00:20:13.189
  • Instrumentality, a member of the sinful human race.
  • 00:20:13.189 --> 00:20:21.965
  • The law was given by that dude
  • 00:20:21.965 --> 00:20:29.673
  • Who was a member of a sinful,
  • 00:20:29.673 --> 00:20:33.109
  • Fleshy, human race, but not so with grace and truth, that came
  • 00:20:33.109 --> 00:20:39.649
  • By jesus christ.
  • 00:20:39.649 --> 00:20:43.586
  • It could not have come by moses.
  • 00:20:43.586 --> 00:20:46.856
  • There's only one entity, one person that was able to bring it
  • 00:20:46.856 --> 00:20:51.261
  • To you, and it was jesus christ, who by the way was both the son
  • 00:20:51.261 --> 00:20:57.901
  • Of man and the son of god.
  • 00:20:57.901 --> 00:21:01.604
  • So, glory to god, so the son of god became the son of man so
  • 00:21:01.604 --> 00:21:09.746
  • That the sons of men could become the sons of god.
  • 00:21:09.746 --> 00:21:15.518
  • You follow what i'm saying?
  • 00:21:15.518 --> 00:21:16.886
  • That couldn't happen with no moses.
  • 00:21:16.886 --> 00:21:19.956
  • Whoo.
  • 00:21:19.956 --> 00:21:26.096
  • Mm-mm-mm.
  • 00:21:26.096 --> 00:21:29.299
  • So these two persons are else--were contrasted,
  • 00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:32.869
  • Moses and jesus.
  • 00:21:32.869 --> 00:21:35.805
  • All through john you'll see the contrast.
  • 00:21:35.805 --> 00:21:39.809
  • You know, that's all jewish people talk about, boy, the law
  • 00:21:39.809 --> 00:21:41.945
  • Of moses said, and jesus even had to say, but yeah, but i say
  • 00:21:41.945 --> 00:21:45.582
  • Unto you, okay?
  • 00:21:45.582 --> 00:21:47.016
  • So, you're gonna see the contrast there.
  • 00:21:47.016 --> 00:21:50.453
  • You remember what is this, hebrews 3 and 3?
  • 00:21:50.453 --> 00:21:53.723
  • Go to hebrews 3 and 3, let's read verses 3, 4, 5, and 6
  • 00:21:53.723 --> 00:22:00.296
  • So we can see something here, i'm almost done.
  • 00:22:00.296 --> 00:22:02.465
  • He says, "for this man was counted worthy of more glory
  • 00:22:02.465 --> 00:22:06.136
  • Than moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more
  • 00:22:06.136 --> 00:22:11.441
  • Honor than the house."
  • 00:22:11.441 --> 00:22:13.743
  • Verse 4, "for every house is builded by some man, but he that
  • 00:22:13.743 --> 00:22:17.113
  • Buildeth all things is god."
  • 00:22:17.113 --> 00:22:19.149
  • Come on, 5, "and moses verily was faithful in all his house,
  • 00:22:19.149 --> 00:22:23.286
  • As a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be
  • 00:22:23.286 --> 00:22:27.490
  • Spoken after."
  • 00:22:27.490 --> 00:22:28.858
  • Number 6, "but christ," christ, "as a son over his own house,
  • 00:22:28.858 --> 00:22:35.498
  • Whose house are we?"
  • 00:22:35.498 --> 00:22:37.500
  • He says we are of the house that christ is over, "if we
  • 00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:41.838
  • Hold fast."
  • 00:22:41.838 --> 00:22:43.540
  • Look at what he's talking about holding fast to, "the confidence
  • 00:22:43.540 --> 00:22:47.110
  • And the rejoicing of the whole firm unto the end."
  • 00:22:47.110 --> 00:22:51.581
  • You know what he's asking us to do?
  • 00:22:51.581 --> 00:22:53.049
  • Don't let go of your believing.
  • 00:22:53.049 --> 00:22:54.417
  • Hold fast, have confidence.
  • 00:22:54.417 --> 00:22:56.786
  • I'm the righteousness of god.
  • 00:22:56.786 --> 00:22:58.188
  • Have confidence, i have grace and i have peace from jesus
  • 00:22:58.188 --> 00:23:01.758
  • Christ, glory to god, and truth from jesus christ.
  • 00:23:01.758 --> 00:23:06.596
  • So, there's a level, in this study, you're gonna see the
  • 00:23:06.596 --> 00:23:10.800
  • Preeminence of jesus over moses.
  • 00:23:10.800 --> 00:23:15.672
  • You're gonna see it, and the preeminence of jesus over moses
  • 00:23:15.672 --> 00:23:19.042
  • Is gonna be indicative of the preeminence
  • 00:23:19.042 --> 00:23:22.111
  • Of grace over the law.
  • 00:23:22.111 --> 00:23:24.747

  • Shame and guilt and condemnation and death.
  • 00:23:55.478 --> 00:23:58.381
