  • Creflo: if you have your bibles, go with me to the book of saint
  • 00:01:46.853 --> 00:01:50.623
  • John, chapter 1, verse 14 and verse 17.
  • 00:01:50.623 --> 00:01:55.361
  • I'm going to read out of the king james and the nlt.
  • 00:01:55.361 --> 00:01:59.265
  • This morning, i want to lay a structure and a foundation, and
  • 00:01:59.265 --> 00:02:03.169
  • I call this living the grace life.
  • 00:02:03.169 --> 00:02:06.206
  • How do you do that?
  • 00:02:06.206 --> 00:02:07.574
  • How does that work?
  • 00:02:07.574 --> 00:02:09.576
  • Saint john chapter 1, verse 14 says, "and the word was made
  • 00:02:09.576 --> 00:02:14.214
  • Flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory
  • 00:02:14.214 --> 00:02:19.652
  • Of the only begotten of the father,)
  • 00:02:19.652 --> 00:02:23.423
  • Full of grace and truth."
  • 00:02:23.423 --> 00:02:26.192
  • Now, he makes it very clear here that jesus has--is the one
  • 00:02:26.192 --> 00:02:30.830
  • That's full of grace and full of truth.
  • 00:02:30.830 --> 00:02:34.834
  • And then verse 17, he says, "for the law was given by moses," the
  • 00:02:34.834 --> 00:02:41.107
  • Law by moses, "but grace and truth came by jesus christ."
  • 00:02:41.107 --> 00:02:48.514
  • Now, one of the first things that we want to understand in
  • 00:02:48.514 --> 00:02:52.151
  • Living in the grace life is that grace never means license to
  • 00:02:52.151 --> 00:02:56.389
  • Sin, as some people think.
  • 00:02:56.389 --> 00:02:59.025
  • It's on the contrary, it is grace that prevents a believer
  • 00:02:59.025 --> 00:03:04.130
  • From sinning.
  • 00:03:04.130 --> 00:03:05.632
  • The bible talks very clear in romans chapter 6:14 that we are
  • 00:03:05.632 --> 00:03:10.603
  • Not under the law, but we are under the grace of god.
  • 00:03:10.603 --> 00:03:16.175
  • Under the law, that's when people sin.
  • 00:03:16.175 --> 00:03:19.812
  • Under grace, we are free from that.
  • 00:03:19.812 --> 00:03:23.883
  • And so, grace is to be considered, and we need to
  • 00:03:23.883 --> 00:03:32.125
  • Understand what it is and what it is not.
  • 00:03:32.125 --> 00:03:35.995
  • And so, let me give you the definition that we'll be working
  • 00:03:35.995 --> 00:03:39.866
  • With here.
  • 00:03:39.866 --> 00:03:41.968
  • Grace is the unmerited.
  • 00:03:41.968 --> 00:03:44.804
  • It is unmerited.
  • 00:03:44.804 --> 00:03:47.440
  • It is abounding, which means it increases.
  • 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:50.476
  • It's the unmerited abounding provision.
  • 00:03:50.476 --> 00:03:54.981
  • Grace is unmerited abounding provision of the unrestrained
  • 00:03:54.981 --> 00:04:01.921
  • Operation of god's infinite love.
  • 00:04:01.921 --> 00:04:04.857
  • The unrestrained operation of god's infinite love.
  • 00:04:04.857 --> 00:04:08.895
  • And it happens through jesus christ, on behalf of mankind.
  • 00:04:08.895 --> 00:04:17.303
  • Especially for those who depend on him.
  • 00:04:17.303 --> 00:04:21.874
  • Now let's look at that one more time.
  • 00:04:21.874 --> 00:04:23.376
  • Grace is the unmerited, means it's not earned, you can't do
  • 00:04:23.376 --> 00:04:29.349
  • Anything to deserve it.
  • 00:04:29.349 --> 00:04:31.384
  • It is the unmerited abounding provision.
  • 00:04:31.384 --> 00:04:35.855
  • Grace is provision, and it increases.
  • 00:04:35.855 --> 00:04:38.991
  • The unmerited abounding provision of the unrestrained
  • 00:04:38.991 --> 00:04:44.964
  • Operation of god's infinite love.
  • 00:04:44.964 --> 00:04:48.000
  • The unrestrained, in other words, his infinite love cannot
  • 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.873
  • Be stopped by your crazy, all right?
  • 00:04:53.873 --> 00:05:00.413
  • His infinite love, and it happens through jesus
  • 00:05:00.413 --> 00:05:03.416
  • Christ, right?
  • 00:05:03.416 --> 00:05:05.084
  • And it's on behalf of man.
  • 00:05:05.084 --> 00:05:06.886
  • This grace is for mankind.
  • 00:05:06.886 --> 00:05:10.022
  • It's on behalf of mankind, but it is especially, especially for
  • 00:05:10.022 --> 00:05:17.363
  • Those who depend on him.
  • 00:05:17.363 --> 00:05:20.466
  • That's big.
  • 00:05:20.466 --> 00:05:21.834
  • Those who have more confidence in him than they do in
  • 00:05:21.834 --> 00:05:25.838
  • Them--in themselves.
  • 00:05:25.838 --> 00:05:27.640
  • And so, one of the things i want you to recognize is that god is
  • 00:05:27.640 --> 00:05:31.744
  • Committed to the protective care and provision for all of his
  • 00:05:31.744 --> 00:05:39.051
  • Natural creations.
  • 00:05:39.051 --> 00:05:40.853
  • What god created, he is committed to taking care of.
  • 00:05:40.853 --> 00:05:46.426
  • And he created us, amen?
  • 00:05:46.426 --> 00:05:48.327
  • What he created, he's committed to take--to take care of.
  • 00:05:48.327 --> 00:05:51.464
  • Let me give you a few examples.
  • 00:05:51.464 --> 00:05:53.166
  • For example, you have the rain, you have the sunshine, and you
  • 00:05:53.166 --> 00:05:57.703
  • Have the elements in the earth.
  • 00:05:57.703 --> 00:05:59.338
  • They're all a part of his providence for plant life.
  • 00:05:59.338 --> 00:06:03.342
  • He created plant life, and there's rain that will provide.
  • 00:06:03.342 --> 00:06:07.180
  • There's sunshine that will provide.
  • 00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:09.849
  • The elements there that are going to provide.
  • 00:06:09.849 --> 00:06:12.118
  • Whatever he creates, he is committed to taking care of.
  • 00:06:12.118 --> 00:06:16.088
  • And then you have food for animals, and all other things
  • 00:06:16.088 --> 00:06:19.158
  • That are needed to sustain their lives.
  • 00:06:19.158 --> 00:06:22.829
  • These are gifts of his care.
  • 00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:26.132
  • This is a gift of his providence.
  • 00:06:26.132 --> 00:06:30.670
  • And so, we look at us, we have been created by god.
  • 00:06:30.670 --> 00:06:35.541
  • And look what he's given us.
  • 00:06:35.541 --> 00:06:36.909
  • Food, clothing, shelter, everything needed for the
  • 00:06:36.909 --> 00:06:41.047
  • Well-being of man's--now, this is the key--of man's
  • 00:06:41.047 --> 00:06:45.084
  • Natural life.
  • 00:06:45.084 --> 00:06:47.086
  • All of these are provisions by the creator for the benefit of
  • 00:06:47.086 --> 00:06:52.325
  • The created.
  • 00:06:52.325 --> 00:06:54.060
  • God's providence.
  • 00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:56.662
  • God's commitment to take care.
  • 00:06:56.662 --> 00:06:59.232
  • God's commitment to provide.
  • 00:06:59.232 --> 00:07:02.802
  • Now, in light of that, i just want you to understand that
  • 00:07:02.802 --> 00:07:05.872
  • Principle, that god takes care and provides for what he
  • 00:07:05.872 --> 00:07:09.909
  • Created, okay?
  • 00:07:09.909 --> 00:07:11.978
  • So now, in light of that, how does grace fit with this?
  • 00:07:11.978 --> 00:07:15.948
  • Well, grace is a similar great and abounding provision of god.
  • 00:07:15.948 --> 00:07:22.388
  • Grace is a provision of god.
  • 00:07:22.388 --> 00:07:25.291
  • It is something that god has provided, but instead of being
  • 00:07:25.291 --> 00:07:28.961
  • For physical creation, it is essentially for the
  • 00:07:28.961 --> 00:07:33.132
  • Spiritual realm.
  • 00:07:33.132 --> 00:07:34.500
  • Watch this.
  • 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:35.868
  • It is a provision of god to restore all that was lost
  • 00:07:35.868 --> 00:07:39.705
  • Spiritually because man sinned, and makes possible--this grace
  • 00:07:39.705 --> 00:07:43.175
  • Makes possible, and this grace sustains a new creation on a far
  • 00:07:43.175 --> 00:07:49.148
  • Higher plane than any other creation.
  • 00:07:49.148 --> 00:07:53.019
  • The new creation that god provides for a man when he gets
  • 00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:56.889
  • Born again, that's something that's provided by the grace of
  • 00:07:56.889 --> 00:08:01.827
  • God, that what happened in the garden is not the end of it.
  • 00:08:01.827 --> 00:08:06.165
  • God says, "now, i created you, and regardless of what you've
  • 00:08:06.165 --> 00:08:09.835
  • Done, i have provisioned even for what happened in the garden.
  • 00:08:09.835 --> 00:08:14.140
  • I now will supply you with a new creation."
  • 00:08:14.140 --> 00:08:19.679
  • Is everybody following me?
  • 00:08:19.679 --> 00:08:21.514
  • All right, now, this great provision of god is summed up in
  • 00:08:21.514 --> 00:08:26.719
  • Romans 8:32 in the nlt.
  • 00:08:26.719 --> 00:08:28.554
  • Look at that, this great provision for god is summed up
  • 00:08:28.554 --> 00:08:31.757
  • In romans 8:32, and this great provision is something i really
  • 00:08:31.757 --> 00:08:37.330
  • Want you to get a hold of.
  • 00:08:37.330 --> 00:08:38.664
  • He said in verse 32, "since he did not spare even his own son,"
  • 00:08:38.664 --> 00:08:46.472
  • He didn't even spare his own son, "but he gave him up for us
  • 00:08:46.472 --> 00:08:51.377
  • All," he said, now, "won't he also give us everything else?"
  • 00:08:51.377 --> 00:08:58.384
  • So, he says, "i have given you my own son.
  • 00:08:58.384 --> 00:09:02.121
  • Why are you doubting everything else that you're going to need?
  • 00:09:02.121 --> 00:09:07.360
  • I created you, and look what i gave you: i gave you my son.
  • 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:13.165
  • I will give you everything else because i am committed to
  • 00:09:13.165 --> 00:09:17.403
  • Your care."
  • 00:09:17.403 --> 00:09:19.438
  • And so, ultimately, here, what i want you to see is that jesus is
  • 00:09:19.438 --> 00:09:23.809
  • That provision for every need of mankind.
  • 00:09:23.809 --> 00:09:29.915
  • I got to give him a name because grace is more than a curriculum,
  • 00:09:29.915 --> 00:09:34.253
  • Grace is more than a subject matter.
  • 00:09:34.253 --> 00:09:36.889
  • Grace is a person, his name is jesus, and jesus is
  • 00:09:36.889 --> 00:09:40.993
  • God's provision.
  • 00:09:40.993 --> 00:09:43.429
  • I know a lot of people don't want to like--jesus is my
  • 00:09:43.429 --> 00:09:46.298
  • Provision for everything i need.
  • 00:09:46.298 --> 00:09:49.502
  • He is my provision.
  • 00:09:49.502 --> 00:09:51.303
  • God created me and gave me jesus, and jesus is
  • 00:09:51.303 --> 00:09:54.640
  • My provision.
  • 00:09:54.640 --> 00:09:55.975
  • He's my provider.
  • 00:09:55.975 --> 00:09:57.343
  • He's my righteousness.
  • 00:09:57.343 --> 00:09:58.678
  • He's everything i ever need.
  • 00:09:58.678 --> 00:10:01.447
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:10:01.447 --> 00:10:05.518
  • Are you listening to me?
  • 00:10:05.518 --> 00:10:07.486
  • So, let's dig into this.
  • 00:10:07.486 --> 00:10:08.988
  • This is the grace life.
  • 00:10:08.988 --> 00:10:11.123
  • And in living the grace life, you've got to know, jesus is
  • 00:10:11.123 --> 00:10:14.927
  • My provision.
  • 00:10:14.927 --> 00:10:17.096
  • Jesus is my provision, and i don't want you to turn this into
  • 00:10:17.096 --> 00:10:21.200
  • A work so you can continue to give yourself credit for
  • 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:25.438
  • What happens.
  • 00:10:25.438 --> 00:10:27.573
  • I want you to believe, but i don't want you to take your
  • 00:10:27.573 --> 00:10:29.909
  • Belief and turn it into a work.
  • 00:10:29.909 --> 00:10:34.914
  • I want you to see jesus every time a need shows up in
  • 00:10:34.914 --> 00:10:38.684
  • Your life.
  • 00:10:38.684 --> 00:10:41.187
  • And that's why it's so powerful when things happen in your life,
  • 00:10:41.187 --> 00:10:44.190
  • And you forgot the scripture, and you don't know what that is,
  • 00:10:44.190 --> 00:10:46.892
  • And you say, "jesus," and things start happening because he is
  • 00:10:46.892 --> 00:10:51.330
  • My provision.
  • 00:10:51.330 --> 00:10:58.571
  • I love scriptures, so let's look at about six of them right
  • 00:10:58.571 --> 00:11:01.974
  • Now, okay?
  • 00:11:01.974 --> 00:11:03.309
  • All right, here's the first thing i want you to check out.
  • 00:11:03.309 --> 00:11:05.778
  • Let's look at this: grace is the operation of god's love.
  • 00:11:05.778 --> 00:11:12.985
  • Grace is the operation of god's love.
  • 00:11:12.985 --> 00:11:16.889
  • Look at john 3:16 in king james rule.
  • 00:11:16.889 --> 00:11:19.625
  • He's the operation of god's love.
  • 00:11:19.625 --> 00:11:21.994
  • Notice what he says, "for god so loved the world," look at what
  • 00:11:21.994 --> 00:11:24.997
  • He does out of his love, "that he gave his only begotten son,
  • 00:11:24.997 --> 00:11:28.234
  • That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
  • 00:11:28.234 --> 00:11:31.804
  • Everlasting life."
  • 00:11:31.804 --> 00:11:33.139
  • Grace is the operation of god's love.
  • 00:11:33.139 --> 00:11:35.808
  • Hebrews chapter 2:9 in the nlt.
  • 00:11:35.808 --> 00:11:39.812
  • Hebrews 2:9 in the nlt.
  • 00:11:39.812 --> 00:11:42.548
  • He says, "what we do see--what we do see is jesus, who for a
  • 00:11:42.548 --> 00:11:47.753
  • Little while was given 'a position a little lower than the
  • 00:11:47.753 --> 00:11:50.689
  • Angels'; and because he suffered death for us, he is now
  • 00:11:50.689 --> 00:11:55.861
  • 'crowned with glory and honor.'
  • 00:11:55.861 --> 00:11:58.564
  • Yes, by god's grace, jesus tasted death for every man."
  • 00:11:58.564 --> 00:12:03.402
  • All of that came out of his love.
  • 00:12:03.402 --> 00:12:05.704
  • Grace is something that is a result of his love.
  • 00:12:05.704 --> 00:12:08.741
  • Grace is born out of the love of god.
  • 00:12:08.741 --> 00:12:11.243
  • Look at what he's doing here.
  • 00:12:11.243 --> 00:12:13.846
  • This giving of his son of god in death for every man is said to
  • 00:12:13.846 --> 00:12:20.686
  • Be by the grace of god, born out of his love.
  • 00:12:20.686 --> 00:12:23.222
  • John 1:16 in the nlt.
  • 00:12:23.222 --> 00:12:25.925
  • John 1:16 in nlt.
  • 00:12:25.925 --> 00:12:28.494
  • I'm just pretty fanatical about you knowing it's in the bible.
  • 00:12:28.494 --> 00:12:32.131
  • That these speakers are not making none of this stuff up.
  • 00:12:32.131 --> 00:12:37.503
  • We just know how to read.
  • 00:12:37.503 --> 00:12:43.542
  • John 1:16, he says, "from this abundance we have all received
  • 00:12:43.542 --> 00:12:48.647
  • One gracious blessing after another gracious blessing."
  • 00:12:48.647 --> 00:12:53.052
  • One gracious favor after another gracious favor, and it keeps
  • 00:12:53.052 --> 00:12:57.623
  • Going on.
  • 00:12:57.623 --> 00:12:58.991
  • It's grace upon grace upon grace upon grace, and when you think
  • 00:12:58.991 --> 00:13:02.728
  • He's about out of it, it's grace and blessings and blessings and
  • 00:13:02.728 --> 00:13:06.365
  • Grace and blessings and grace, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
  • 00:13:06.365 --> 00:13:12.304
  • Those who receive grace upon grace out of his fullness are
  • 00:13:12.304 --> 00:13:17.009
  • The same whom jesus loved unto the end.
  • 00:13:17.009 --> 00:13:21.614
  • It's born out of his love.
  • 00:13:21.614 --> 00:13:22.948
  • Ephesians 1:4.
  • 00:13:22.948 --> 00:13:24.383
  • Ephesians 1:4 in the nlt.
  • 00:13:24.383 --> 00:13:27.620
  • He says, "even before he made the world," now, this got me
  • 00:13:27.620 --> 00:13:31.523
  • Kind of choked up as i was looking--this--check what he
  • 00:13:31.523 --> 00:13:34.860
  • Said: "even before he made the world," you got to understand
  • 00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:38.163
  • That stuff that happens in life, it doesn't surprise god, it
  • 00:13:38.163 --> 00:13:41.300
  • Doesn't catch god off guard.
  • 00:13:41.300 --> 00:13:43.669
  • He doesn't have to go back and restructure stuff.
  • 00:13:43.669 --> 00:13:45.905
  • "even before he made the world, god loved us," that blows
  • 00:13:49.008 --> 00:13:53.612
  • My mind.
  • 00:13:53.612 --> 00:13:55.547
  • Before he made the world, he loved me, okay?
  • 00:13:55.547 --> 00:14:00.052
  • Before he made the world, he loved me, god loved us, and he
  • 00:14:00.052 --> 00:14:02.821
  • Chose us before he made the world, okay?
  • 00:14:02.821 --> 00:14:06.458
  • He chose us in christ.
  • 00:14:06.458 --> 00:14:08.093
  • He saw us in christ before he made the world, to be holy.
  • 00:14:08.093 --> 00:14:13.265
  • He saw me holy in christ before he made the world.
  • 00:14:13.265 --> 00:14:16.402
  • Hallelujah, and he saw me without fault in his eyes before
  • 00:14:16.402 --> 00:14:20.539
  • He made the world.
  • 00:14:20.539 --> 00:14:22.875
  • So no matter what it looks like right now, i believe what god
  • 00:14:22.875 --> 00:14:27.146
  • Saw before he made the world.
  • 00:14:27.146 --> 00:14:30.816
  • And before he made the world, he saw me holy.
  • 00:14:30.816 --> 00:14:33.552
  • Before he made the world, he saw me righteous.
  • 00:14:33.552 --> 00:14:35.754
  • He gave me a stance, praise god.
  • 00:14:35.754 --> 00:14:37.923
  • He gave me something to stand on while i was going through
  • 00:14:37.923 --> 00:14:40.759
  • My transformation.
  • 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:42.294
  • He gave me--and i'm not coming off that stance.
  • 00:14:42.294 --> 00:14:44.763
  • I am holy, i am righteous.
  • 00:14:44.763 --> 00:14:46.799
  • I am out--without fault.
  • 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.534
  • And then your neighbor might say, "i don't see it like that,"
  • 00:14:48.534 --> 00:14:51.670
  • But that doesn't matter.
  • 00:14:51.670 --> 00:14:53.005
  • God sees it like that.
  • 00:14:53.005 --> 00:14:56.342
  • And now we need to see it like god sees it.
  • 00:14:56.342 --> 00:15:01.714
  • Are you listening to me?
  • 00:15:01.714 --> 00:15:04.083
  • Man, and all of those who chose to be before him in love.
  • 00:15:04.083 --> 00:15:12.091
  • Ephesians 2, verse 7 in the nlt.
  • 00:15:12.091 --> 00:15:16.161
  • This will be the last one.
  • 00:15:16.161 --> 00:15:17.529
  • I'm just--god's amazing, he's awesome.
  • 00:15:17.529 --> 00:15:19.531
  • He's--you cannot live this grace life without a relationship
  • 00:15:19.531 --> 00:15:25.804
  • With jesus.
  • 00:15:25.804 --> 00:15:28.907
  • Christianity will not be fruitful if you think it's
  • 00:15:28.907 --> 00:15:33.379
  • Just rule-keeping.
  • 00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:36.215
  • Christianity requires a relationship because everything
  • 00:15:36.215 --> 00:15:39.418
  • In this new covenant is heart-based.
  • 00:15:39.418 --> 00:15:44.690
  • And we keep trying to do things law-based.
  • 00:15:44.690 --> 00:15:48.927
  • When it's heart-based, you're not looking at whether it's 10%
  • 00:15:48.927 --> 00:15:52.331
  • Or 90%.
  • 00:15:52.331 --> 00:15:55.167
  • What is my heart telling me to do?
  • 00:15:55.167 --> 00:15:57.202
  • When it's heart-based, you're not going to church because "oh,
  • 00:15:57.202 --> 00:16:00.039
  • I want to fulfill my duty and obligation."
  • 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.008
  • When it's heart-based, you're not keeping up with the time
  • 00:16:03.008 --> 00:16:05.477
  • When you're in prayer.
  • 00:16:05.477 --> 00:16:09.815
  • Get rid of the measurements, get to know jesus, and he'll--jesus
  • 00:16:09.815 --> 00:16:14.586
  • Will start showing you stuff that's in the bible that you
  • 00:16:14.586 --> 00:16:17.489
  • Didn't know was in the bible, and one day you start reading it
  • 00:16:17.489 --> 00:16:20.125
  • And realize he told you before you saw it.
  • 00:16:20.125 --> 00:16:24.329
  • That's what relationship does.
  • 00:16:24.329 --> 00:16:29.001
  • I need to seriously calm down.
  • 00:16:29.001 --> 00:16:32.538
  • This really happens to me.
  • 00:16:32.538 --> 00:16:36.075
  • All right, so here's this--here's the second part i
  • 00:16:36.075 --> 00:16:37.976
  • Want to look at from that definition, that god's love is
  • 00:16:37.976 --> 00:16:41.914
  • Infinite, it's infinite.
  • 00:16:41.914 --> 00:16:46.485
  • Look at 1 john chapter 4:16.
  • 00:16:46.485 --> 00:16:50.556
  • God's love is infinite.
  • 00:16:50.556 --> 00:16:56.061
  • "we know how much god loves us, and we have put our trust in
  • 00:16:56.061 --> 00:17:00.499
  • His love."
  • 00:17:00.499 --> 00:17:01.867
  • Have you put your trust in his love?
  • 00:17:01.867 --> 00:17:05.437
  • "we have put our trust in his love.
  • 00:17:05.437 --> 00:17:07.973
  • God is love, and all who live in love live in god, and god lives
  • 00:17:07.973 --> 00:17:14.580
  • In them."
  • 00:17:14.580 --> 00:17:17.850
  • As god is infinite.
  • 00:17:17.850 --> 00:17:19.651
  • How many of you know god is infinite, right?
  • 00:17:19.651 --> 00:17:22.554
  • Then so are his attributes.
  • 00:17:22.554 --> 00:17:25.524
  • His character is infinite.
  • 00:17:25.524 --> 00:17:29.194
  • Therefore, that love which is must be infinite.
  • 00:17:29.194 --> 00:17:34.633
  • That love doesn't have a date where it's over.
  • 00:17:34.633 --> 00:17:39.371
  • That love doesn't have, well, based on what you did,
  • 00:17:39.371 --> 00:17:42.274
  • It's over.
  • 00:17:42.274 --> 00:17:43.709
  • You saw he said he loved you before he created the world.
  • 00:17:43.709 --> 00:17:46.245
  • Why would you ever ask the question, "well, god, do you
  • 00:17:46.245 --> 00:17:49.047
  • Still love me?"
  • 00:17:49.047 --> 00:17:50.782
  • You're trying your best to try to get him out of love with you.
  • 00:17:50.782 --> 00:17:53.452
  • He ain't going to do it.
  • 00:17:53.452 --> 00:17:55.554
  • Some of you trying to divorce god.
  • 00:17:55.554 --> 00:17:57.189
  • He ain't going to do it.
  • 00:17:57.189 --> 00:17:58.524
  • He gonna be following you everywhere you go.
  • 00:17:58.524 --> 00:18:00.626
  • You go get drunk, he gonna be right there with you.
  • 00:18:00.626 --> 00:18:03.428
  • You go buy a little prostitute at the little--he gonna be right
  • 00:18:03.428 --> 00:18:07.032
  • There with you.
  • 00:18:07.032 --> 00:18:08.367
  • You think you can just divorce god and go somewhere?
  • 00:18:08.367 --> 00:18:11.303
  • He said, "no, i'm tied to you.
  • 00:18:11.303 --> 00:18:13.305
  • I'm invested in you.
  • 00:18:13.305 --> 00:18:14.840
  • I'm not going nowhere.
  • 00:18:14.840 --> 00:18:16.375
  • You--your crazy ain't crazy enough.
  • 00:18:16.375 --> 00:18:19.044
  • Your sin is never going to be bigger than my grace and my love
  • 00:18:19.044 --> 00:18:23.715
  • For you.
  • 00:18:23.715 --> 00:18:25.050
  • I dare you to try me, i ain't going nowhere.
  • 00:18:25.050 --> 00:18:27.486
  • I ain't going nowhere.
  • 00:18:27.486 --> 00:18:28.854
  • You can be high as a kite.
  • 00:18:28.854 --> 00:18:30.189
  • You can go back to everything you said you weren't going to go
  • 00:18:30.189 --> 00:18:32.257
  • Back to.
  • 00:18:32.257 --> 00:18:33.625
  • I'm gonna still be there, right there, and i'm not canceling,
  • 00:18:33.625 --> 00:18:36.728
  • I'm not canceling the assignment on your life.
  • 00:18:36.728 --> 00:18:39.164
  • That assignment is still going to be on your life.
  • 00:18:39.164 --> 00:18:41.567
  • I will not leave you.
  • 00:18:41.567 --> 00:18:43.068
  • I will not forsake you.
  • 00:18:43.068 --> 00:18:44.736
  • I am eternal, infinite love.
  • 00:18:44.736 --> 00:18:47.906
  • You can't get rid of me.
  • 00:18:47.906 --> 00:18:50.275
  • Even if you're on your deathbed and getting ready to die,
  • 00:18:50.275 --> 00:18:53.478
  • Eventually you're going to recognize you're still married
  • 00:18:53.478 --> 00:18:56.114
  • To me.
  • 00:18:56.114 --> 00:18:57.449
  • I'm not going nowhere."
  • 00:18:57.449 --> 00:19:00.219
  • All right, let me slow down.
  • 00:19:00.219 --> 00:19:03.555
  • We keep trying to make sin greater than grace.
  • 00:19:03.555 --> 00:19:10.862
  • And it's not, and it will never be.
  • 00:19:10.862 --> 00:19:14.132
  • Because when sin increases, grace will keep increasing more.
  • 00:19:14.132 --> 00:19:21.873
  • You walk around here, actually thinking that your mess is
  • 00:19:21.873 --> 00:19:26.278
  • Bigger than his grace.
  • 00:19:26.278 --> 00:19:30.649
  • Oh, jesus.
  • 00:19:33.986 --> 00:19:37.122
  • God's love is infinite because the measure of it, his only
  • 00:19:37.122 --> 00:19:41.727
  • Begotten son, is infinite.
  • 00:19:41.727 --> 00:19:45.163
  • The grace of god--i got to slow down because i--i'm a crybaby
  • 00:19:49.368 --> 00:19:53.772
  • Now, and i'm just--i'm thinking about, you know, when you have a
  • 00:19:53.772 --> 00:19:56.808
  • Relationship with him--you know, when you have a--when you have a
  • 00:19:56.808 --> 00:20:00.412
  • Relationship with him, you just--the grace of god flowing
  • 00:20:00.412 --> 00:20:08.220
  • From infinite love is inexhaustible.
  • 00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:12.624
  • It can never fail.
  • 00:20:16.094 --> 00:20:18.697
  • One moment, folks, just a little bit, just 20 seconds.
  • 00:20:22.134 --> 00:20:24.503
  • I thank you, jesus.
  • 00:20:24.503 --> 00:20:26.038
  • Thank you, lord.
  • 00:20:26.038 --> 00:20:27.673
  • Thank you.
  • 00:20:27.673 --> 00:20:29.207
  • I'll never try to exalt anything above every love in you, god.
  • 00:20:29.207 --> 00:20:32.210
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:20:32.210 --> 00:20:35.247
  • All right, all right, let's look at this next one.
  • 00:20:35.247 --> 00:20:39.685
  • Living the grace life, understanding that grace is,
  • 00:20:39.685 --> 00:20:42.921
  • Watch this, unmerited.
  • 00:20:42.921 --> 00:20:47.926
  • Quit trying to bring something to the table.
  • 00:20:47.926 --> 00:20:52.331
  • If it's by grace, it's not by works.
  • 00:20:52.331 --> 00:20:58.337
  • All right, now, listen to me now.
  • 00:20:58.337 --> 00:21:00.105
  • Man can do nothing or contribute nothing to that which god does
  • 00:21:00.105 --> 00:21:04.443
  • In grace, nor do anything to be--to merit it.
  • 00:21:04.443 --> 00:21:08.246
  • He can't do anything to it.
  • 00:21:08.246 --> 00:21:10.182
  • Now, i'm really led to do something right here.
  • 00:21:10.182 --> 00:21:13.585
  • Go to ephesians chapter 2, verses 8 and 9.
  • 00:21:13.585 --> 00:21:18.190
  • I think i need to make it
  • 00:21:18.190 --> 00:21:19.524
  • Very clear, we get kind of messed up on
  • 00:21:19.524 --> 00:21:21.860
  • Works, okay?
  • 00:21:21.860 --> 00:21:23.729
  • And we get upset because we're always saying, "well,
  • 00:21:23.729 --> 00:21:26.531
  • What do you do?
  • 00:21:26.531 --> 00:21:27.866
  • Well, what do you do? well, what do you do?"
  • 00:21:27.866 --> 00:21:29.267
  • And i'm going to go over this again.
  • 00:21:29.267 --> 00:21:30.669
  • But he says, god saved you by his what?
  • 00:21:30.669 --> 00:21:32.404
  • Grace.
  • 00:21:32.404 --> 00:21:33.739
  • When did he save you? when you believed, okay?
  • 00:21:33.739 --> 00:21:37.008
  • And you can't take credit for this.
  • 00:21:37.008 --> 00:21:39.244
  • It is a what? a gift.
  • 00:21:39.244 --> 00:21:41.179
  • You can't earn it, right?
  • 00:21:41.179 --> 00:21:43.448
  • Verse 9, watch this: "salvation is not a reward for good things
  • 00:21:43.448 --> 00:21:47.185
  • We have done, so none of us can boast about it," right?
  • 00:21:47.185 --> 00:21:52.824
  • Verse 10, and i'll look at it a little bit more, "for we are
  • 00:21:52.824 --> 00:21:57.396
  • God's masterpiece.
  • 00:21:57.396 --> 00:21:58.730
  • He has created--," a--anew in--"created us anew in christ."
  • 00:21:58.730 --> 00:22:02.868
  • Now look at verse 10 in the king james for a moment.
  • 00:22:02.868 --> 00:22:04.803
  • I want you to see what's happening here.
  • 00:22:04.803 --> 00:22:06.938
  • Did you hear what he just said?
  • 00:22:06.938 --> 00:22:08.273
  • You're god's workmanship.
  • 00:22:08.273 --> 00:22:10.542
  • So there's some work that god can do on you that you can't do
  • 00:22:10.542 --> 00:22:13.145
  • On yourself.
  • 00:22:13.145 --> 00:22:17.149
  • "we are his workmanship, created in christ jesus," so god
  • 00:22:17.149 --> 00:22:20.352
  • Has work.
  • 00:22:20.352 --> 00:22:22.754
  • Works, three types of works.
  • 00:22:22.754 --> 00:22:24.489
  • God has work.
  • 00:22:24.489 --> 00:22:26.158
  • His work is you, all right?
  • 00:22:26.158 --> 00:22:28.894
  • God ain't gonna never--see, he started to work in you.
  • 00:22:28.894 --> 00:22:31.997
  • He's not going to turn it over to you to finish it.
  • 00:22:31.997 --> 00:22:36.835
  • If he started to work in you.
  • 00:22:36.835 --> 00:22:40.639
  • He's going to continue to work in you.
  • 00:22:40.639 --> 00:22:43.275
  • And he's going to finish the work in you.
  • 00:22:43.275 --> 00:22:46.311
  • So i ain't worrying about his work.
  • 00:22:46.311 --> 00:22:48.780
  • Somebody said, "well, what if he--what i--what if i--what if
  • 00:22:48.780 --> 00:22:50.782
  • I'm not finished when he come back?"
  • 00:22:50.782 --> 00:22:52.117
  • That's on him.
  • 00:22:52.117 --> 00:22:53.819
  • But i'm gonna be finished.
  • 00:22:53.819 --> 00:22:55.854
  • See, he working on you right now.
  • 00:22:55.854 --> 00:22:58.256
  • He working on me right now.
  • 00:22:58.256 --> 00:23:00.659
  • I am his workmanship, unto, watch this, good works.
  • 00:23:00.659 --> 00:23:04.763
  • So now we've got god's works, and we've got good works.
  • 00:23:04.763 --> 00:23:08.967
  • Good works are born out of your heart.
  • 00:23:08.967 --> 00:23:11.903
  • Good works are not good works because of the action of
  • 00:23:11.903 --> 00:23:14.439
  • The work.
  • 00:23:14.439 --> 00:23:15.774
  • Good works are good works because of the motivation behind
  • 00:23:15.774 --> 00:23:18.009
  • The works.
  • 00:23:18.009 --> 00:23:19.945
  • Male announcer: you can't do what you don't understand.
  • 00:23:24.082 --> 00:23:26.618
  • This is common knowledge.
  • 00:23:26.618 --> 00:23:28.019
  • Yet, people continuously try to walk in the grace of god without
  • 00:23:28.019 --> 00:23:32.457
  • Understanding it.
  • 00:23:32.457 --> 00:23:33.825
  • Creflo dollar takes a deep dive into the life-sustaining grace
  • 00:23:33.825 --> 00:23:36.728
  • Of god in his three-message series,
  • 00:23:36.728 --> 00:23:38.563
  • "the transparency of grace."
  • 00:23:38.563 --> 00:23:40.665
  • Creflo: grace is the operation of god's love.
  • 00:23:40.665 --> 00:23:44.402
  • What god created, he is committed to taking care of.
  • 00:23:44.402 --> 00:23:48.707
  • Jesus is that provision for every need of mankind.
  • 00:23:48.707 --> 00:23:53.712
  • Jesus is my provision, he's my provider, he's my righteousness.
  • 00:23:53.712 --> 00:23:58.350
  • He's everything i ever need.
  • 00:23:58.350 --> 00:24:00.919
  • He started the work, he'll continue to work.
  • 00:24:00.919 --> 00:24:04.322
