  • Creflo: god's love found a way to satisfy his own justice
  • 00:01:44.918 --> 00:01:52.192
  • And thereby set love free, to operate with no restraints.
  • 00:01:52.192 --> 00:02:02.769
  • Do you understand that?
  • 00:02:06.306 --> 00:02:07.674
  • Nothing can restrain the love that god has for you.
  • 00:02:07.674 --> 00:02:13.213
  • His justice has been satisfied.
  • 00:02:13.213 --> 00:02:15.715
  • All of your sins and all of my sins have been placed on the
  • 00:02:15.715 --> 00:02:19.419
  • Body of the lord jesus christ.
  • 00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:21.888
  • And when you say that sin is greater than god's grace, you're
  • 00:02:21.888 --> 00:02:25.558
  • Saying you don't believe that his justice was satisfied.
  • 00:02:25.558 --> 00:02:28.461
  • You're saying that jesus wasn't enough to satisfy his justice.
  • 00:02:28.461 --> 00:02:31.831
  • And i am saying that jesus is enough to satisfy god's justice.
  • 00:02:31.831 --> 00:02:35.969
  • And his love is free to operate without restraints.
  • 00:02:35.969 --> 00:02:41.107
  • I dare you say that somebody's living so bad that god can't
  • 00:02:41.107 --> 00:02:45.545
  • Love them.
  • 00:02:45.545 --> 00:02:46.913
  • I dare you talk about somebody's lifestyle is so messed up that
  • 00:02:46.913 --> 00:02:50.450
  • God can't love them.
  • 00:02:50.450 --> 00:02:51.784
  • There are no restraints to his love, his justice has
  • 00:02:51.784 --> 00:02:56.289
  • Been satisfied.
  • 00:02:56.289 --> 00:03:04.030
  • 1 john 4:10 nlt, 1 john 4:10 nlt.
  • 00:03:07.734 --> 00:03:15.108
  • "this is real love--not that we loved god,
  • 00:03:15.108 --> 00:03:24.217
  • But that he loved us and sent his son
  • 00:03:24.217 --> 00:03:28.855
  • As a sacrifice," as a propitiation,
  • 00:03:28.855 --> 00:03:36.162
  • "to take away our sins."
  • 00:03:36.162 --> 00:03:41.134
  • "well," somebody said, "well, people are still saying--"
  • 00:03:45.204 --> 00:03:49.442
  • Please listen to me.
  • 00:03:49.442 --> 00:03:50.843
  • What separated you from god was your sinful nature.
  • 00:03:50.843 --> 00:03:56.015
  • That's what separates you, your sinful nature, okay?
  • 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.489
  • And god took care of that.
  • 00:04:03.489 --> 00:04:06.159
  • Now, your sinning actions are going to start lining up with
  • 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.128
  • Your new creation.
  • 00:04:09.128 --> 00:04:11.564
  • It's a journey, and you're human.
  • 00:04:11.564 --> 00:04:16.002
  • And it's a journey, and you're human.
  • 00:04:16.002 --> 00:04:19.572
  • But he started to work.
  • 00:04:19.572 --> 00:04:21.607
  • He'll continue to work.
  • 00:04:21.607 --> 00:04:23.676
  • He gonna finish the work, hallelujah.
  • 00:04:23.676 --> 00:04:31.718
  • 1 john 2:2 in the king james, and he says this, he says, "and
  • 00:04:31.718 --> 00:04:40.793
  • He is the propitiation for our sins."
  • 00:04:40.793 --> 00:04:47.433
  • Propitiation, that which satisfies divine justice.
  • 00:04:47.433 --> 00:04:52.638
  • Jesus was the sin offering, jesus was the ransom that was
  • 00:04:52.638 --> 00:04:57.210
  • Paid for your sins so you can go free.
  • 00:04:57.210 --> 00:05:01.981
  • "and not for ours only," get this, "but also for the sins of
  • 00:05:01.981 --> 00:05:07.854
  • The whole world."
  • 00:05:07.854 --> 00:05:11.491
  • Get it straight, church folks.
  • 00:05:11.491 --> 00:05:13.393
  • Jesus came for the whole world.
  • 00:05:13.393 --> 00:05:15.628
  • He came for that drug addict, he came for that prostitute, he
  • 00:05:15.628 --> 00:05:19.265
  • Came for that adulterer, he came for that liar.
  • 00:05:19.265 --> 00:05:22.568
  • Everything i'm preaching here, he came for all, all of the mess
  • 00:05:22.568 --> 00:05:26.873
  • That an institutional church told you to despise,
  • 00:05:26.873 --> 00:05:30.943
  • Jesus said, "i knew it before the beginning of the world and i
  • 00:05:30.943 --> 00:05:35.448
  • Came for them.
  • 00:05:35.448 --> 00:05:37.116
  • The people you kick out," he said, "i came for them.
  • 00:05:37.116 --> 00:05:40.987
  • Your enemies," he said, "i came for them."
  • 00:05:40.987 --> 00:05:43.356
  • What, what's wrong with us?
  • 00:05:46.993 --> 00:05:48.361
  • Why are we so judgmental against people who are in trauma and
  • 00:05:48.361 --> 00:05:51.664
  • People who are going through stuff?
  • 00:05:51.664 --> 00:05:53.232
  • Jesus came for them.
  • 00:05:53.232 --> 00:05:54.801
  • Church folks want to dog them.
  • 00:05:54.801 --> 00:05:56.569
  • Those friends, they don't--what, what is this?
  • 00:05:56.569 --> 00:06:00.640
  • Grace people got to be gracious people,
  • 00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:06.579
  • Or it's that work.
  • 00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:15.988
  • Apart from the death of christ, god cannot deal with fallen man
  • 00:06:20.226 --> 00:06:27.867
  • On any other basis then the law and justice.
  • 00:06:27.867 --> 00:06:35.141
  • But when jesus died, the restraint, it just blows my
  • 00:06:35.141 --> 00:06:40.613
  • Mind, the restraint upon god's love was removed
  • 00:06:40.613 --> 00:06:48.120
  • And love was set free to act.
  • 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:55.895
  • God's love is free to operate in grace.
  • 00:06:55.895 --> 00:07:02.802
  • "well, what about them democrats?"
  • 00:07:06.105 --> 00:07:07.473
  • What is the matter with us?
  • 00:07:07.473 --> 00:07:11.377
  • "what about them republicans?"
  • 00:07:11.377 --> 00:07:12.745
  • What is the matter with us?
  • 00:07:12.745 --> 00:07:14.947
  • His grace has been set free to love democrats.
  • 00:07:18.885 --> 00:07:22.955
  • His grace has been set free to love republicans.
  • 00:07:22.955 --> 00:07:27.527
  • How come republicans and democrats can't love one another
  • 00:07:27.527 --> 00:07:31.264
  • When god's love has been set free?
  • 00:07:31.264 --> 00:07:34.934
  • And the party affiliation cannot restrain his love.
  • 00:07:34.934 --> 00:07:48.814
  • So grace, then, is more than love.
  • 00:07:52.618 --> 00:07:54.353
  • It is love operating righteously in view of the fact that the
  • 00:07:54.353 --> 00:07:59.091
  • Penalty for sin has been paid.
  • 00:07:59.091 --> 00:08:05.865
  • Something was done, something was done for god on the cross.
  • 00:08:05.865 --> 00:08:12.838
  • We just think something was done for us on the cross.
  • 00:08:12.838 --> 00:08:17.143
  • But something was done for god on the cross.
  • 00:08:17.143 --> 00:08:22.615
  • He removed our sins on the cross, but he removed
  • 00:08:22.615 --> 00:08:25.184
  • The restrictions.
  • 00:08:25.184 --> 00:08:29.021
  • Woo-hoo-hoo.
  • 00:08:29.021 --> 00:08:31.290
  • He became free to fully exercise his love without compromising
  • 00:08:31.290 --> 00:08:35.494
  • His justice.
  • 00:08:35.494 --> 00:08:39.265
  • Because jesus has justified us.
  • 00:08:39.265 --> 00:08:45.838
  • So grace is therefore--it's not a mere expression of pity or
  • 00:08:50.009 --> 00:08:57.116
  • Compassion on the part of god.
  • 00:08:57.116 --> 00:09:00.987
  • It is not the setting aside justice and passing over sin,
  • 00:09:00.987 --> 00:09:09.362
  • Which should be punished.
  • 00:09:09.362 --> 00:09:10.763
  • Like some people think, "well, you know, you would just pass
  • 00:09:10.763 --> 00:09:12.832
  • Over sin.
  • 00:09:12.832 --> 00:09:15.234
  • Watch out for them grace people because they just want to pass
  • 00:09:15.234 --> 00:09:17.603
  • Over sin.
  • 00:09:17.603 --> 00:09:18.938
  • Don't talk about grace too much cause if you talk about grace
  • 00:09:18.938 --> 00:09:21.073
  • Too much, you'll start living a loose life."
  • 00:09:21.073 --> 00:09:24.877
  • Honey, grace is for your loose life.
  • 00:09:24.877 --> 00:09:30.616
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:09:34.153 --> 00:09:37.289
  • With your loose self, grace with your loose life.
  • 00:09:37.289 --> 00:09:42.228
  • Sweet lips and sweet lips, increase learning.
  • 00:09:42.228 --> 00:09:47.967
  • Grace is not a forbearance or tolerance of sin.
  • 00:09:47.967 --> 00:09:54.073
  • It's a forgiveness of sin
  • 00:09:54.073 --> 00:09:57.009
  • Because the full penalty has been paid by jesus.
  • 00:09:57.009 --> 00:10:06.485
  • Book of titus 10, 11, 12, he says, "the grace of god has been
  • 00:10:06.485 --> 00:10:12.358
  • Made available to the whole world."
  • 00:10:12.358 --> 00:10:17.596
  • So grace is available and ready for anybody who will sign for
  • 00:10:17.596 --> 00:10:21.634
  • The package.
  • 00:10:21.634 --> 00:10:24.770
  • You might not think they should be forgiven.
  • 00:10:24.770 --> 00:10:26.939
  • It's amazing to me.
  • 00:10:26.939 --> 00:10:28.340
  • I'll take some murderers that have been put in jail and they
  • 00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:30.643
  • Murdered thousands of people and you have the mitigated gall to
  • 00:10:30.643 --> 00:10:33.779
  • Say, "well, i know they-- i know they're in hell."
  • 00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:36.515
  • You know why people in hell?
  • 00:10:40.152 --> 00:10:42.421
  • For rejecting jesus, not doing a bunch of sinful crazy stuff.
  • 00:10:42.421 --> 00:10:45.925
  • Because god can deal with all that.
  • 00:10:49.361 --> 00:10:51.764
  • But what he can't deal with is unbelief and a person that
  • 00:10:51.764 --> 00:10:54.600
  • Refuses to accept jesus.
  • 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.502
  • What he gonna do?
  • 00:10:56.502 --> 00:10:59.405
  • But he says, this grace for us who will receive it, this grace
  • 00:10:59.405 --> 00:11:02.975
  • For us who will accept it, it'll start teaching you.
  • 00:11:02.975 --> 00:11:08.781
  • Grace will teach you.
  • 00:11:08.781 --> 00:11:11.917
  • Think of that, grace teaches you.
  • 00:11:11.917 --> 00:11:15.454
  • Somebody say, "when does grace teach you?"
  • 00:11:15.454 --> 00:11:17.256
  • Honey, let me tell you something, the trials of your
  • 00:11:17.256 --> 00:11:19.191
  • Faith are excellent instructions and courses that god uses to
  • 00:11:19.191 --> 00:11:24.463
  • Mature you.
  • 00:11:24.463 --> 00:11:26.398
  • Listen, one thing we can all relate with, pain
  • 00:11:30.336 --> 00:11:32.671
  • And discomfort.
  • 00:11:32.671 --> 00:11:34.006
  • And let me tell you something about pain and discomfort,
  • 00:11:34.006 --> 00:11:35.374
  • Everybody got some.
  • 00:11:35.374 --> 00:11:38.043
  • And let me tell you, pain and discomfort may be your most
  • 00:11:38.043 --> 00:11:42.715
  • Powerful witnessing tool.
  • 00:11:42.715 --> 00:11:44.183
  • Look how god has brought me out of this.
  • 00:11:46.352 --> 00:11:50.790
  • Look at the work of grace in my life.
  • 00:11:54.426 --> 00:11:57.530
  • I thought i was a goner, but look at the work.
  • 00:11:57.530 --> 00:12:00.566
  • And there ain't nothing like going through discomfort with
  • 00:12:00.566 --> 00:12:05.938
  • God on your side, depending on him.
  • 00:12:05.938 --> 00:12:08.407
  • Because when you come out of that rough patch, you're going
  • 00:12:08.407 --> 00:12:10.843
  • To be closer to him like never before.
  • 00:12:10.843 --> 00:12:12.945
  • You're going to have empathy like never before.
  • 00:12:12.945 --> 00:12:15.181
  • You're gonna be more sensitive to what people have
  • 00:12:15.181 --> 00:12:17.016
  • Gone through.
  • 00:12:17.016 --> 00:12:18.384
  • Some of y'all just need to...
  • 00:12:18.384 --> 00:12:21.120
  • Because it's so easy for you to be critical in judgment of
  • 00:12:25.257 --> 00:12:27.893
  • Somebody else's issue, until that issue visits your house.
  • 00:12:27.893 --> 00:12:34.834
  • So easy for you to talk about how, "i don't understand why
  • 00:12:39.038 --> 00:12:42.274
  • They're homeless.
  • 00:12:42.274 --> 00:12:43.642
  • I mean, there are jobs everywhere."
  • 00:12:43.642 --> 00:12:45.344
  • That's because you don't have no empathy and you have no idea
  • 00:12:45.344 --> 00:12:48.814
  • What that person went through that landed them in the place
  • 00:12:48.814 --> 00:12:52.318
  • Where they are right now.
  • 00:12:52.318 --> 00:12:53.686
  • You ought to be grateful and thankful to god.
  • 00:12:53.686 --> 00:12:55.821
  • God, if it wasn't for you, i would be in that same situation.
  • 00:12:55.821 --> 00:12:59.191
  • If it wasn't for you--and then give me, give me the compassion
  • 00:12:59.191 --> 00:13:05.764
  • To move on their behalf.
  • 00:13:05.764 --> 00:13:13.439
  • Grace will teach you.
  • 00:13:16.976 --> 00:13:21.213
  • Grace will teach you, it's just not unmerited favor.
  • 00:13:21.213 --> 00:13:23.415
  • Grace is a teacher.
  • 00:13:23.415 --> 00:13:24.783
  • Remember, we're talking about a person, he'll teach you.
  • 00:13:24.783 --> 00:13:30.856
  • But this is amazing to me, he will teach you--oh lord, i know,
  • 00:13:30.856 --> 00:13:35.394
  • Y'all, but i got to go with this.
  • 00:13:35.394 --> 00:13:37.363
  • He'll teach you how to live godly lives.
  • 00:13:37.363 --> 00:13:47.439
  • Now wait a minute, wait a minute before you shout--'cause what
  • 00:13:47.506 --> 00:13:52.811
  • You shouting about?
  • 00:13:52.811 --> 00:13:55.014
  • You are defining godliness by its results and not by
  • 00:13:55.014 --> 00:14:02.721
  • Its nature.
  • 00:14:02.721 --> 00:14:04.089
  • And we define ungodliness by its results.
  • 00:14:07.793 --> 00:14:11.430
  • "oh, they ungodly.
  • 00:14:11.430 --> 00:14:12.932
  • Look at the sin, look at this, and look at this."
  • 00:14:12.932 --> 00:14:14.934
  • No, no, no, no, no, no.
  • 00:14:14.934 --> 00:14:17.603
  • To be ungodly is to have a--
  • 00:14:17.603 --> 00:14:25.077
  • A disregard for god.
  • 00:14:25.077 --> 00:14:31.183
  • So you might not have the results of ungodliness, but as a
  • 00:14:32.484 --> 00:14:37.089
  • Christian you're still as ungodly because you
  • 00:14:37.089 --> 00:14:41.393
  • Disregard god.
  • 00:14:41.393 --> 00:14:43.195
  • You no longer see it important to even get god to bless what
  • 00:14:46.565 --> 00:14:52.705
  • You're doing.
  • 00:14:52.705 --> 00:14:56.942
  • And your disregard from god doesn't even see it necessary to
  • 00:14:56.942 --> 00:15:01.613
  • Even get god's attention on this thing.
  • 00:15:01.613 --> 00:15:05.317
  • So while you're walking around keeping the laws and saying,
  • 00:15:05.317 --> 00:15:08.687
  • "this is the way we go to church, and i'm a christian, and
  • 00:15:08.687 --> 00:15:11.056
  • Christian teachers, and all that stuff," you're not regarding god
  • 00:15:11.056 --> 00:15:14.893
  • On anything.
  • 00:15:14.893 --> 00:15:18.497
  • Because i've been a christian for 30 years.
  • 00:15:18.497 --> 00:15:23.002
  • And in those 30 years, i know how to shout: "hey, aiya."
  • 00:15:23.002 --> 00:15:29.441
  • Oh, i don't need to talk to god about this.
  • 00:15:29.441 --> 00:15:32.077
  • But it's ungodly to disregard him.
  • 00:15:32.077 --> 00:15:36.548
  • And it is godly to regard him.
  • 00:15:36.548 --> 00:15:40.519
  • So i'm sure most of you thought when i was talking about
  • 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:43.389
  • Ungodliness, i was going to talk about the sinners.
  • 00:15:43.389 --> 00:15:47.893
  • Now i'm talking about the church folks, the grace folks.
  • 00:15:47.893 --> 00:15:51.130
  • I'm talking about the the faith, grace folks.
  • 00:15:51.130 --> 00:15:53.899
  • I'm saying, stop disregarding god.
  • 00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:59.271
  • And grace will teach you how to regard him.
  • 00:15:59.271 --> 00:16:03.709
  • We just--we just--we get to a point in our christian life
  • 00:16:07.913 --> 00:16:11.183
  • Where we just do whatever we want to, half check with god
  • 00:16:11.183 --> 00:16:15.521
  • On something.
  • 00:16:15.521 --> 00:16:19.591
  • When i prayed about it, it was like a second prayer.
  • 00:16:19.591 --> 00:16:22.661
  • And you say, "i prayed about it," to appear to be spiritual
  • 00:16:22.661 --> 00:16:25.764
  • In front of other people.
  • 00:16:25.764 --> 00:16:28.801
  • But that's all right, grace will teach you how to be godly.
  • 00:16:28.801 --> 00:16:34.573
  • And when grace finish with you, he's going to show you about
  • 00:16:34.573 --> 00:16:38.110
  • Your ungodliness.
  • 00:16:38.110 --> 00:16:41.547
  • And when grace finished with you, you're gonna be making sure
  • 00:16:41.547 --> 00:16:45.584
  • God is regarded on everything.
  • 00:16:45.584 --> 00:16:52.758
  • This is a relationship.
  • 00:16:52.758 --> 00:16:54.359
  • Grace will mature you in your everyday living.
  • 00:16:57.463 --> 00:17:02.601
  • Not in your segregated, set aside time in a closet.
  • 00:17:02.601 --> 00:17:07.973
  • "well, i got up this morning, i spent an hour and a half with
  • 00:17:12.177 --> 00:17:14.046
  • The lord in my closet-- [speaking in tongues]."
  • 00:17:14.046 --> 00:17:17.483
  • Okay, whatever dude, whatever, whatever it is.
  • 00:17:17.483 --> 00:17:19.718
  • But then, what you don't recognize is you spent your hour
  • 00:17:19.718 --> 00:17:21.954
  • With him in the closet and ain't said nothing to him for the rest
  • 00:17:21.954 --> 00:17:24.389
  • Of the day.
  • 00:17:24.389 --> 00:17:25.858
  • Now how does that work in a natural relationship?
  • 00:17:25.858 --> 00:17:28.494
  • You speak to your wife just an hour and ain't got nothing to
  • 00:17:28.494 --> 00:17:31.196
  • Say to her for the rest of the day.
  • 00:17:31.196 --> 00:17:33.165
  • This thing ain't gonna work.
  • 00:17:33.165 --> 00:17:36.602
  • And yet, it's supposed to be adequate and sufficient in a
  • 00:17:36.602 --> 00:17:40.272
  • Relationship with the father.
  • 00:17:40.272 --> 00:17:41.840
  • If we stop playing church--look at the prayers of jesus, they
  • 00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:45.210
  • Weren't that long.
  • 00:17:45.210 --> 00:17:48.380
  • "oh, you should pray an hour today."
  • 00:17:52.217 --> 00:17:53.886
  • Lord, help me.
  • 00:17:53.886 --> 00:17:56.555
  • I wasn't looking forward to that and god wasn't looking forward
  • 00:17:56.555 --> 00:17:58.757
  • To it.
  • 00:17:58.757 --> 00:18:01.927
  • You get up there trying to get that one hour in,
  • 00:18:01.927 --> 00:18:03.395
  • Y'all remember.
  • 00:18:03.395 --> 00:18:05.030
  • "[speaking in tongues]"
  • 00:18:05.030 --> 00:18:12.137
  • That's basically saying the same thing over and over again.
  • 00:18:12.137 --> 00:18:14.373
  • "la, la, la, la, la, la."
  • 00:18:14.373 --> 00:18:19.945
  • Look at the clock, see how much time has gone by.
  • 00:18:19.945 --> 00:18:22.314
  • Two minutes, got dog, god almighty.
  • 00:18:22.314 --> 00:18:25.450
  • Now you're throwing everything in there, "shaka zulu.
  • 00:18:28.921 --> 00:18:32.224
  • Come outside and tie my tie in a honda, [speaking in tongues]."
  • 00:18:32.224 --> 00:18:41.033
  • Remember that story about the neighbor waking up, banging on
  • 00:18:45.270 --> 00:18:49.041
  • The door, trying to get his neighbor to let him borrow some
  • 00:18:49.041 --> 00:18:51.944
  • Bread because he had an unexpected visitor come in?
  • 00:18:51.944 --> 00:18:54.513
  • And you know we took that whole thing, knock, keep on knocking.
  • 00:18:57.716 --> 00:19:05.224
  • Seek, keep on seeking.
  • 00:19:05.224 --> 00:19:07.960
  • The whole moral of that story was jesus was saying, "i'm not
  • 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.964
  • Going to be that kind of friend.
  • 00:19:11.964 --> 00:19:14.866
  • You ain't got to try to knock the door down to get me to come
  • 00:19:14.866 --> 00:19:18.036
  • And do something for you.
  • 00:19:18.036 --> 00:19:20.405
  • Just ask and knock one time and i'm gonna be there."
  • 00:19:20.405 --> 00:19:31.450
  • There's a battle of religion going on in the church.
  • 00:19:35.554 --> 00:19:41.393
  • And we don't have a relationship with god, we can't even see it.
  • 00:19:41.393 --> 00:19:45.063
  • But grace will teach you.
  • 00:19:45.063 --> 00:19:50.402
  • And he said while grace is teaching you how to live a godly
  • 00:19:50.402 --> 00:19:52.971
  • Life, while grace is trying to teach you how to live
  • 00:19:52.971 --> 00:19:55.407
  • Righteous--because when you get born again, you become a part of
  • 00:19:55.407 --> 00:20:01.179
  • The stance that god has provided for you.
  • 00:20:01.179 --> 00:20:05.183
  • The stance is, this is who you are, and this is what we're
  • 00:20:05.183 --> 00:20:09.554
  • Gonna be working on.
  • 00:20:09.554 --> 00:20:11.890
  • Your state is, "i just got saved."
  • 00:20:11.890 --> 00:20:15.527
  • I got up this morning and started cussing.
  • 00:20:15.527 --> 00:20:16.895
  • I had to remind myself, i got saved yesterday.
  • 00:20:16.895 --> 00:20:20.599
  • But when you got saved, you got saved with god's stance.
  • 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.068
  • You are righteous, you are redeemed, you are godly, you are
  • 00:20:23.068 --> 00:20:26.972
  • Perfect, you are all these things in christ.
  • 00:20:26.972 --> 00:20:29.508
  • Your stance is that's what you get when you get saved.
  • 00:20:29.508 --> 00:20:32.244
  • But god says, "i'm gonna start working on you."
  • 00:20:36.181 --> 00:20:40.852
  • And grace will teach you.
  • 00:20:40.852 --> 00:20:42.187
  • And while grace is teaching you--did you realize what he
  • 00:20:42.187 --> 00:20:45.824
  • Said in the next verse?
  • 00:20:45.824 --> 00:20:48.493
  • He said, while grace is teaching you, get your eyes on
  • 00:20:48.493 --> 00:20:52.698
  • The return.
  • 00:20:52.698 --> 00:20:54.066
  • Start looking for jesus.
  • 00:20:57.202 --> 00:21:00.739
  • Because there's something about eternal expectation.
  • 00:21:00.739 --> 00:21:07.979
  • That when you're going through something and you're trying to
  • 00:21:07.979 --> 00:21:10.449
  • Figure out how i'm going to get out of this,
  • 00:21:10.449 --> 00:21:12.284
  • Eternal expectation.
  • 00:21:12.284 --> 00:21:13.985
  • So while grace is working on you, and while you're in
  • 00:21:13.985 --> 00:21:16.321
  • Discomfort, and while you're maturing, and while you're
  • 00:21:16.321 --> 00:21:19.091
  • Growing, get your affection set.
  • 00:21:19.091 --> 00:21:23.128
  • Jesus is coming back, hallelujah.
  • 00:21:23.128 --> 00:21:27.399
  • Get yourself focused on the stance, "i am the righteousness
  • 00:21:27.399 --> 00:21:31.136
  • Of god."
  • 00:21:31.136 --> 00:21:32.504
  • Focus on your eternal expectations.
  • 00:21:32.504 --> 00:21:36.608
  • Right there, grace has been made available to everybody.
  • 00:21:36.608 --> 00:21:39.311
  • Grace will teach you, if you receive it.
  • 00:21:39.311 --> 00:21:41.012
  • Grace will show you how to be all of these things.
  • 00:21:41.012 --> 00:21:43.648
  • And while you're doing that, keep your hope and your
  • 00:21:43.648 --> 00:21:47.185
  • Expectation that jesus is on his way back.
  • 00:21:47.185 --> 00:21:56.762
  • Grace, therefore, is not the mere expression, like i said,
  • 00:22:00.966 --> 00:22:05.237
  • Of pity.
  • 00:22:05.237 --> 00:22:07.606
  • It's a forgiveness of sin because the full penalty has
  • 00:22:07.606 --> 00:22:11.643
  • Been paid by jesus.
  • 00:22:11.643 --> 00:22:14.446
  • Living the grace life, it's a journey.
  • 00:22:18.316 --> 00:22:23.789
  • But all of the things that god will do with us, he wants us to
  • 00:22:23.789 --> 00:22:29.728
  • Do with somebody else.
  • 00:22:29.728 --> 00:22:32.697
  • 1 corinthians says, "i will comfort you in all of your
  • 00:22:32.697 --> 00:22:40.038
  • Trouble, so you can comfort somebody else."
  • 00:22:40.038 --> 00:22:46.945
  • Announcer: you can't do what you don't understand.
  • 00:22:51.016 --> 00:22:53.552
  • This is common knowledge.
  • 00:22:53.552 --> 00:22:54.953
  • Yet, people continuously try to walk in the grace of god without
  • 00:22:54.953 --> 00:22:59.391
  • Understanding it.
  • 00:22:59.391 --> 00:23:00.725

  • Creflo: grace is the operation of god's love.
  • 00:23:08.300 --> 00:23:11.336
  • What god created he is committed to taking care of.
  • 00:23:11.336 --> 00:23:15.607
  • Jesus is that provision for every need of mankind.
  • 00:23:15.607 --> 00:23:20.612
  • Jesus is my provision, he's my provider, he's my righteousness.
  • 00:23:20.612 --> 00:23:25.250
  • He's everything i ever need.
  • 00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:27.819
  • He started the work, he'll continue the work.
  • 00:23:27.819 --> 00:23:31.223
