Creflo dollar: what jesus has delivered us from was related to
00:00:12.258 --> 00:00:15.161
What men do, or what man does, but the new condition of
00:00:15.161 --> 00:00:20.767
Condemnation is because of the failure of man to believe and to
00:00:20.767 --> 00:00:26.506
Depend upon the son of god.

Creflo: if you have your bibles, go with me to the book of mark
00:01:40.046 --> 00:01:43.216
Chapter 5, and verse 36.
00:01:43.216 --> 00:01:49.756
Pretty big deal, this teaching this morning, kind of started
00:01:49.756 --> 00:01:54.594
From bible study this wednesday.
00:01:54.594 --> 00:01:55.929
How many of you were at bible study wednesday night?
00:01:55.929 --> 00:02:01.768
It was a life check, right?
00:02:01.768 --> 00:02:09.209
So i wanted to develop this, this morning, and do a series
00:02:09.209 --> 00:02:12.078
On this.
00:02:12.078 --> 00:02:14.047
Mark chapter 5, and verse 36, he says, "as soon as jesus heard
00:02:14.047 --> 00:02:19.619
The word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of
00:02:19.619 --> 00:02:24.657
The synagogue, be not afraid, only believe."
00:02:24.657 --> 00:02:32.365
In every situation in our lives, you're gonna either be in fear
00:02:32.365 --> 00:02:37.837
Or you gonna believe, and when you're not believing, you're
00:02:37.837 --> 00:02:42.542
Being afraid.
00:02:42.542 --> 00:02:44.944
And the number one fear for christian people is the fear
00:02:44.944 --> 00:02:51.017
That what god promised in his word won't work, "i'm afraid
00:02:51.017 --> 00:02:56.222
That this thing that i'm standing on might not work."
00:02:56.222 --> 00:03:02.228
And there is an attack especially on christians where
00:03:02.228 --> 00:03:07.200
You believing is concerned, and we've got to make sure that we
00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:12.739
Are not believers who are no longer believing.
00:03:12.739 --> 00:03:21.447
That was mostly understood for people who were not born again,
00:03:21.447 --> 00:03:25.351
That obviously they don't believe because they hadn't made
00:03:25.351 --> 00:03:28.254
Jesus the lord of their life, and that's true, until i began
00:03:28.254 --> 00:03:34.294
To look at just believers and wondering if we are believing.
00:03:34.294 --> 00:03:41.567
So i wanna start off with this issue of condemnation, because
00:03:41.567 --> 00:03:48.274
It keeps creeping up, we've done a series on condemnation, but it
00:03:48.274 --> 00:03:54.981
Seems like it is going to be the result of you not believing.
00:03:54.981 --> 00:04:00.320
A person that's not born again is already in condemnation
00:04:00.320 --> 00:04:04.324
Because they didn't believe to make jesus the lord of
00:04:04.324 --> 00:04:06.559
Their life.
00:04:06.559 --> 00:04:09.595
And so, let's look at this carefully, let's define it,
00:04:09.595 --> 00:04:12.799
Condemnation, and then i'm gonna show you, you know, some ways to
00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:17.937
Figure out if you are walking in condemnation still.
00:04:17.937 --> 00:04:21.841
Condemnation means to pronounce unfit, it means
00:04:21.841 --> 00:04:28.548
Guilty, unusable.
00:04:28.548 --> 00:04:34.120
Ever felt like you were unusable?
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.256
It involves judgment, condemnation involves
00:04:37.256 --> 00:04:39.959
Punishment, it involves disapproval.
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.196
If i had to take a couple of words to define condemnation, it
00:04:43.196 --> 00:04:47.300
Would be the feeling that you're not enough, feelings that you're
00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:54.040
Not enough.
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:55.375
You know, when you condemn a building, it's no longer usable,
00:04:55.375 --> 00:04:58.544
It's been judged, it's not up to par to be able to do what it's
00:04:58.544 --> 00:05:04.650
Supposed to do.
00:05:04.650 --> 00:05:06.018
And there are lots of people that feel like that, they feel
00:05:06.018 --> 00:05:08.054
Like they're just not enough, "i just am not enough to do this
00:05:08.054 --> 00:05:14.660
Or to accomplish this or to walk like this."
00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:18.998
It's almost like you're stuck in inferiority.
00:05:18.998 --> 00:05:23.269
Inferiority and condemnation goes hand in hand, a man who is
00:05:23.269 --> 00:05:28.374
Inferior is the same guy who just, they don't feel like they
00:05:28.374 --> 00:05:32.211
Measure up.
00:05:32.211 --> 00:05:33.679
An inferior person feels like they just can't measure up, and
00:05:33.679 --> 00:05:37.316
So they have to become superior to cover up their
00:05:37.316 --> 00:05:43.689
Inferiority complex.
00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:46.726
To be inferior means to fall short, not enough, it falls
00:05:46.726 --> 00:05:51.697
Short, and let me give you an example.
00:05:51.697 --> 00:05:54.033
In romans chapter 3, verse 23, in the king james and then
00:05:54.033 --> 00:05:57.637
The tpt, let's look at it in the king james first.
00:05:57.637 --> 00:06:00.673
He says, "for all have sinned," and then what's the result of,
00:06:00.673 --> 00:06:06.846
"all have sinned"?
00:06:06.846 --> 00:06:08.181
"and come short," coming short is inferiority.
00:06:08.181 --> 00:06:13.619
"all have sinned, and come short," coming short is
00:06:13.619 --> 00:06:16.522
That condemnation.
00:06:16.522 --> 00:06:18.424
"all have sinned, and come short of the glory of god."
00:06:18.424 --> 00:06:23.563
So, when adam did what he did and caused this curse to go
00:06:23.563 --> 00:06:27.567
Everywhere, it affected everybody in inferiority, and
00:06:27.567 --> 00:06:31.370
The only antidote for inferiority is believing jesus.
00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:36.943
Look at this in the passion translation, he says, "for we
00:06:36.943 --> 00:06:40.947
All have sinned and are in need of the glory of god."
00:06:40.947 --> 00:06:46.385
"we all have sinned and we are in need of the glory of god."
00:06:46.385 --> 00:06:52.859
The reason why this issue of condemnation keeps coming up,
00:06:52.859 --> 00:06:55.995
Ladies and gentlemen, is because it is the root of a lot
00:06:55.995 --> 00:06:58.931
Of things.
00:06:58.931 --> 00:07:00.766
Condemnation will lead to fear, so we we have to examine this,
00:07:00.766 --> 00:07:08.508
Condemnation leads to fear.
00:07:08.508 --> 00:07:11.811
The bible says, "god hasn't given us a spirit of fear," but
00:07:11.811 --> 00:07:14.447
Please understand something, that fear that is tolerated is
00:07:14.447 --> 00:07:21.687
Faith that is contaminated.
00:07:21.687 --> 00:07:26.392
What are you afraid of?
00:07:26.392 --> 00:07:27.760
Sometimes when you go off and you cut somebody out, you start
00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:31.097
Fussing and stuff like that, it may not be, it's not ultimately,
00:07:31.097 --> 00:07:35.167
It's not really an anger problem more than it is a fear problem,
00:07:35.167 --> 00:07:39.205
Your anger is an expression of what you are afraid of.
00:07:39.205 --> 00:07:44.176
I'm afraid of something, so my anger is expressing that fear.
00:07:44.176 --> 00:07:52.018
Job said, "the thing i fear the most has come upon me."
00:07:52.018 --> 00:07:55.621
Fear operates like faith in the negative.
00:07:55.621 --> 00:08:00.760
God needs faith in order to bring his word to pass in your
00:08:00.760 --> 00:08:06.065
Life, satan needs fear in order to bring his words to pass in
00:08:06.065 --> 00:08:11.137
Your life, fear is the faith of the enemy.
00:08:11.137 --> 00:08:18.311
But please notice, fear doesn't show up without condemnation
00:08:18.311 --> 00:08:23.549
Giving birth to it, condemnation is the root issue here.
00:08:23.549 --> 00:08:30.590
When condemnation gives birth to fear, then fear is gonna give
00:08:30.590 --> 00:08:34.994
Birth to stress, and ladies and gentlemen, the number one killer
00:08:34.994 --> 00:08:41.701
In this world today is stress.
00:08:41.701 --> 00:08:48.240
So condemnation gives birth to fear, fear gives birth to
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.777
Stress, and if you don't know how to overcome the stress,
00:08:51.777 --> 00:08:55.548
The stress now will go ahead and open the door to the
00:08:55.548 --> 00:09:00.319
Ministration or the manifestation of the curse.
00:09:00.319 --> 00:09:07.627
The manifestation of the cursed in your life, on your body, all
00:09:07.627 --> 00:09:14.700
Started with condemnation.
00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:19.472
Do you walk around the house feeling like you don't measure
00:09:19.472 --> 00:09:22.174
Up, do you walk around the house feeling like you're not enough,
00:09:22.174 --> 00:09:26.345
Do you walk around the house feeling inferior?
00:09:26.345 --> 00:09:31.250
Do you go to school or college, and you constantly comparing
00:09:31.250 --> 00:09:35.855
Yourself with somebody else, like you have to compare
00:09:35.855 --> 00:09:38.758
Yourself with somebody else because you have not yet come to
00:09:38.758 --> 00:09:42.428
Understand how awesome you are?
00:09:42.428 --> 00:09:44.864
And it's time for you to realize that you don't need to be like
00:09:44.864 --> 00:09:50.269
Somebody else, you're awesome because you are authentic, and
00:09:50.269 --> 00:09:54.373
God made you authentic and threw away the mold, and you keep
00:09:54.373 --> 00:09:58.778
Trying to give away your authenticity for a cheap copy.
00:09:58.778 --> 00:10:04.950
You're trying to be like somebody else when there's
00:10:09.021 --> 00:10:12.091
Something about you, maybe you've not discovered everything
00:10:12.091 --> 00:10:14.660
About you, but there's something about you that doesn't exist
00:10:14.660 --> 00:10:18.731
With the person you're comparing yourself with, and you gotta
00:10:18.731 --> 00:10:23.969
Stop the self-hate.
00:10:23.969 --> 00:10:27.873
I know i'm talking to somebody here, today.
00:10:27.873 --> 00:10:29.508
You gotta stop the self hate, you are awesome, you are
00:10:29.508 --> 00:10:33.179
Beautiful, you are beloved, you are authentic, you are unique,
00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:40.052
And condemnation kills.
00:10:43.589 --> 00:10:48.694
It's not as simple as people have led us to be,
00:10:48.694 --> 00:10:51.363
"oh, condemnation."
00:10:51.363 --> 00:10:52.698
No, condemnation kills, it robs, condemnation causes the fear,
00:10:52.698 --> 00:10:57.937
The fear shows up and it causes the stress.
00:10:57.937 --> 00:11:01.140
And there are kids in high school, today, they stressed
00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:04.844
Out, it's too much.
00:11:04.844 --> 00:11:08.647
Social media, you see what everybody doing.
00:11:08.647 --> 00:11:11.317
Before they had social media you couldn't see, you could see just
00:11:11.317 --> 00:11:13.953
A few people at school.
00:11:13.953 --> 00:11:15.921
But you stressed out trying to do and be and act, and you've
00:11:15.921 --> 00:11:22.361
Left the authentic you behind in your pursuit of trying to be
00:11:22.361 --> 00:11:28.100
Like somebody else, as you deny the awesome you.
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:35.741
Okay.
00:11:39.011 --> 00:11:40.546
People who don't feel like they can measure up or people who
00:11:42.214 --> 00:11:46.619
Feel like they don't measure up at all will start saying and
00:11:46.619 --> 00:11:51.023
Thinking about what they need to do to measure up.
00:11:51.023 --> 00:11:55.394
When you are in condemnation and you feel like you don't measure
00:11:55.394 --> 00:11:57.897
Up, you feel like you're not enough, your focus is you, which
00:11:57.897 --> 00:12:03.469
Is not good, your focus is all about you, you can't see nobody
00:12:03.469 --> 00:12:09.375
Else but you.
00:12:09.375 --> 00:12:11.677
You start saying and thinking things like, "i need to improve,
00:12:11.677 --> 00:12:15.381
So i'm gonna pray more," so now your prayer is now being
00:12:15.381 --> 00:12:21.420
Motivated by your self-need to, eh.
00:12:21.420 --> 00:12:26.926
You start thinking things like, "if i just try harder, then the
00:12:26.926 --> 00:12:33.699
Breakthrough will come."
00:12:33.699 --> 00:12:36.068
It's hard to believe when you're thinking that if you can try
00:12:36.068 --> 00:12:38.537
Harder, the breakthrough will come, because it's all on you.
00:12:38.537 --> 00:12:42.508
"if i can just get more faith, my miracle will come."
00:12:42.508 --> 00:12:48.013
Again, it's all you, you, you.
00:12:48.013 --> 00:12:54.920
"my problem is this, so if i fix it, i'll be all right, if i can
00:12:54.920 --> 00:12:59.091
Only do this, then i'll be all right, what i need to do is
00:12:59.091 --> 00:13:02.528
This," your focus is entirely on yourself.
00:13:02.528 --> 00:13:08.968
You got to see this plan of the enemy, the plan of the enemy
00:13:08.968 --> 00:13:12.705
That he has unleashed, like right now, where we are today,
00:13:12.705 --> 00:13:18.911
The entire human race came under the condemnation of death by one
00:13:18.911 --> 00:13:25.684
Sin, by the one sin of adam.
00:13:25.684 --> 00:13:28.754
Now, follow me very carefully here.
00:13:28.754 --> 00:13:31.023
Go to romans chapter 5, and verse 18, romans chapter 5:18.
00:13:31.023 --> 00:13:38.130
So by one man, condemnation came on all the earth.
00:13:38.130 --> 00:13:42.034
Verse 18 says, "therefore as by the offense of one judgment,"
00:13:42.034 --> 00:13:47.973
"by the offense of one judgment came upon all men
00:13:47.973 --> 00:13:52.978
To condemnation."
00:13:52.978 --> 00:13:55.080
So there was like only one law in the garden, i don't know if
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.184
You realize that, one thing he asked them to do, "don't eat
00:13:59.184 --> 00:14:03.822
From the fruit of this tree," that was it.
00:14:03.822 --> 00:14:07.760
He says, "now all of the trees in the garden, you can have all
00:14:07.760 --> 00:14:12.531
Of them, but don't eat from this."
00:14:12.531 --> 00:14:16.101
Think about it, the real sin wasn't that they ate from the
00:14:16.101 --> 00:14:19.004
Forbidden tree, the real sin is they didn't eat from all of the
00:14:19.004 --> 00:14:23.208
Other trees that were available to them.
00:14:23.208 --> 00:14:26.045
How many things has god made available to us, and we're
00:14:26.045 --> 00:14:29.281
Focused in on that one wrong thing?
00:14:29.281 --> 00:14:34.553
Are you listening to me now?
00:14:34.553 --> 00:14:38.524
This condemnation that started with adam was intensified when
00:14:38.524 --> 00:14:46.665
The law of moses came in.
00:14:46.665 --> 00:14:49.134
Look at romans 5:20, it was intensified, it was made
00:14:49.134 --> 00:14:54.239
Greater, which made condemnation greater.
00:14:54.239 --> 00:14:57.910
He said, "moreover the law entered, that the offense
00:14:57.910 --> 00:15:02.348
Might abound."
00:15:02.348 --> 00:15:03.682
That word "abound" means to increase.
00:15:03.682 --> 00:15:05.017
So the law entered, so, that offense, which was condemnation,
00:15:05.017 --> 00:15:10.389
It increased, it increased because the law came in and
00:15:10.389 --> 00:15:16.395
Intensified it more.
00:15:16.395 --> 00:15:20.232
And then, in james chapter 2:10, check this out, he said, "for
00:15:20.232 --> 00:15:25.104
All of you who are going to live by the law," he says, "let me
00:15:25.104 --> 00:15:28.240
Tell you," "for whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.845
Offend in just one point, he's guilty of breaking all of
00:15:32.845 --> 00:15:36.849
The law."
00:15:36.849 --> 00:15:38.183
In other words, if you try to keep all the law and you eat
00:15:38.183 --> 00:15:40.686
Pork ribs, if it's forbidden by the law, on the 4th of july,
00:15:40.686 --> 00:15:45.524
You guilty of breaking all 613 laws.
00:15:45.524 --> 00:15:50.129
Who does that?
00:15:50.129 --> 00:15:51.930
The condemnation, that just says, "i can't do it, it's not
00:15:51.930 --> 00:15:55.134
Enough, i'm not enough," wow.
00:15:55.134 --> 00:16:01.273
Under the law, condemnation is because man does not do all that
00:16:01.273 --> 00:16:07.312
The law demands and does do that which the law forbids, that's
00:16:07.312 --> 00:16:15.821
The condemnation.
00:16:15.821 --> 00:16:17.189
The condemnation is, "i can't do everything that the law demands,
00:16:17.189 --> 00:16:22.027
I'm not enough, i end up doing all the things that the law
00:16:22.027 --> 00:16:25.831
Forbids, i can't keep these 613 laws, and every time you break
00:16:25.831 --> 00:16:34.173
One, i'm condemned," and most of those people were condemned
00:16:34.173 --> 00:16:38.710
To death.
00:16:38.710 --> 00:16:40.179
But look what happened, galatians 3:13, galatians 3:13.
00:16:40.179 --> 00:16:46.819
The condemnation that showed up because men couldn't keep the
00:16:46.819 --> 00:16:52.324
Law, and they broke it, basically, it was based on what
00:16:52.324 --> 00:16:56.528
A man could do and what a man didn't do, this condemnation
00:16:56.528 --> 00:17:03.869
Came on all men because of their actions, their performance.
00:17:03.869 --> 00:17:12.077
But jesus came, galatians 3:13, here's the good news, verse 13
00:17:12.077 --> 00:17:17.683
Says, "christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law."
00:17:17.683 --> 00:17:25.891
Some of y'all got it, thank you, jesus.
00:17:25.891 --> 00:17:29.828
Christ has delivered us from the curse that comes because you
00:17:29.828 --> 00:17:35.000
Can't keep the law.
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.870
There was a curse that came on man because he couldn't keep
00:17:37.870 --> 00:17:40.873
The law.
00:17:40.873 --> 00:17:42.207
You remember, in verse 15, deuteronomy 28?
00:17:42.207 --> 00:17:44.243
He says, "and if you will not do these things, then cursed will
00:17:44.243 --> 00:17:47.212
You be here, cursed will you be there."
00:17:47.212 --> 00:17:49.114
And so christ showed up and he delivered us, redeemed us from
00:17:49.114 --> 00:17:55.387
The curse of the law by being made a curse for us.
00:17:55.387 --> 00:17:59.858
Actually, the only one that could keep all of the law was
00:17:59.858 --> 00:18:04.596
Jesus, so jesus took it upon himself to do what we
00:18:04.596 --> 00:18:10.569
Couldn't do.
00:18:10.569 --> 00:18:11.937
But now, listen, here's what i want you to get, when jesus gave
00:18:11.937 --> 00:18:15.107
His life, we were delivered from the curse of the law, and in
00:18:15.107 --> 00:18:20.846
Essence, we are delivered from condemnation.
00:18:20.846 --> 00:18:24.550
We're delivered from condemnation because of what
00:18:24.550 --> 00:18:28.187
Jesus did.
00:18:28.187 --> 00:18:29.521
Romans chapter 8:1, we're delivered from condemnation,
00:18:29.521 --> 00:18:33.492
Were delivered from condemnation.
00:18:33.492 --> 00:18:36.962
The woman who was caught in the act of adultery, jesus gave her
00:18:36.962 --> 00:18:41.833
The gift of no condemnation, because he knew he was about to
00:18:41.833 --> 00:18:45.671
Die to deliver all from condemnation.
00:18:45.671 --> 00:18:48.907
Now, listen to me carefully.
00:18:48.907 --> 00:18:50.242
Look at this verse 1, "there is therefore now no condemnation to
00:18:50.242 --> 00:18:53.779
Them which are in christ jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:57.115
But after the spirit."
00:18:57.115 --> 00:18:58.450
That's interesting, because that was added, some of your bibles
00:18:58.450 --> 00:19:02.387
Have that in italicize.
00:19:02.387 --> 00:19:05.123
What he means is there is, "therefore now no condemnation
00:19:05.123 --> 00:19:08.260
To them who are in christ jesus," period.
00:19:08.260 --> 00:19:12.297
If you are in christ jesus, there is no
00:19:12.297 --> 00:19:14.433
Condemnation, period.
00:19:14.433 --> 00:19:17.636
Now, i want you to say this out loud, "i am free
00:19:17.636 --> 00:19:20.138
From condemnation."
00:19:20.138 --> 00:19:23.709
That's not exactly the whole truth;
00:19:23.709 --> 00:19:28.080
You are free from condemnation
00:19:31.817 --> 00:19:36.588
That is caused by what you do or don't do.
00:19:36.588 --> 00:19:43.362
Under the law, you were condemned because of what you do
00:19:43.362 --> 00:19:46.131
Or don't do.
00:19:46.131 --> 00:19:47.699
But is it still possible that condemnation can enter in
00:19:47.699 --> 00:19:53.272
A person's life even after what jesus did?
00:19:53.272 --> 00:19:58.143
So there's the new condition for condemnation, there's a
00:19:58.143 --> 00:20:01.046
Condition for condemnation i knew about, i don't know if i've
00:20:01.046 --> 00:20:04.516
Ever taught you, in relationship with the condemnation that we've
00:20:04.516 --> 00:20:08.353
Been delivered from.
00:20:08.353 --> 00:20:09.688
But the new condition for condemnation is in no way
00:20:09.688 --> 00:20:12.557
Related to what man does.
00:20:12.557 --> 00:20:17.396
What jesus has delivered us from was related to what men do or
00:20:17.396 --> 00:20:22.367
What man does, but the new condition of condemnation is
00:20:22.367 --> 00:20:27.239
Because of the failure of man to believe and to depend upon
00:20:27.239 --> 00:20:32.944
The son of god.
00:20:32.944 --> 00:20:36.248
Let me show you something, john chapter 3, verse 17 through 19.
00:20:36.248 --> 00:20:41.620
I'm headed somewhere.
00:20:41.620 --> 00:20:42.954
John chapter 3:17-19, "for god sent not his son into the world
00:20:42.954 --> 00:20:49.728
To condemn the world; but that the world through him might
00:20:49.728 --> 00:20:56.034
Be," what?
00:20:56.034 --> 00:20:57.369
"saved."
00:20:57.369 --> 00:20:59.771
Watch carefully, "he that believeth on him is
00:20:59.771 --> 00:21:04.109
Not condemned."
00:21:04.109 --> 00:21:07.746
Now, how many of you say, "yes, pastor, i believe and depend
00:21:07.746 --> 00:21:10.415
On him"?
00:21:10.415 --> 00:21:11.917
Listen, i didn't ask you to say you're perfect, just say,
00:21:11.917 --> 00:21:15.187
"i believe and i depend on him," you believe that?
00:21:15.187 --> 00:21:17.155
I believe and i depend on him.
00:21:17.155 --> 00:21:19.891
So, according to this scripture, you are not condemned, but
00:21:19.891 --> 00:21:25.364
Uh-oh, "he that believeth not is condemned already."
00:21:25.364 --> 00:21:31.737
Mainly referring to people who haven't believed enough to get
00:21:31.737 --> 00:21:36.108
Born again, he says they're already condemned.
00:21:36.108 --> 00:21:38.276
People who are not born again, people who don't believe in
00:21:38.276 --> 00:21:41.480
Jesus christ, they are already in condemnation, they already
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.050
Feel like they're not enough, they already feel guilty.
00:21:45.050 --> 00:21:48.086
Let me tell you something, when people are not born again,
00:21:48.086 --> 00:21:50.922
They feel guilty, they feel guilty, they feel, you know,
00:21:50.922 --> 00:21:57.996
Like condemned, they feel like they're not enough, they got
00:21:57.996 --> 00:22:00.766
Issues, they go see a therapist, he tries to talk them out of it,
00:22:00.766 --> 00:22:04.469
It does pretty good for a minute.
00:22:04.469 --> 00:22:06.204
But then, the only way you're gonna be able to get out of this
00:22:06.204 --> 00:22:08.707
Condemnation is jesus is the only way to deal with it,
00:22:08.707 --> 00:22:12.010
And you feel inferior.
00:22:12.010 --> 00:22:13.345
And you go and you take some medication to try to help you
00:22:13.345 --> 00:22:16.148
Not feel inferior, but you do.
00:22:16.148 --> 00:22:18.116
There is only one, there's only one antidote for inferiority and
00:22:18.116 --> 00:22:25.690
Condemnation, and that's jesus.
00:22:25.690 --> 00:22:31.096
So, he's talking about those who believe not, they're condemned
00:22:31.096 --> 00:22:35.267
Already, but could it also mean the believer, who for some
00:22:35.267 --> 00:22:41.072
Reason no longer believes?
00:22:41.072 --> 00:22:45.744
Because i'm telling you, when you say, "i'm a christian," you
00:22:45.744 --> 00:22:50.115
Say, "i believe," and then something comes up, something
00:22:50.115 --> 00:22:53.385
Happens, and for some reason you don't believe, you know what's
00:22:53.385 --> 00:22:56.521
Gonna come your way?
00:22:56.521 --> 00:22:57.856
Condemnation, i'm not enough, i'm not enough for god to bless,
00:22:57.856 --> 00:23:01.159
I don't have enough faith, i'm not praying enough, because
00:23:01.159 --> 00:23:04.229
You're not believing, just simply believing in jesus.
00:23:04.229 --> 00:23:08.033
Are you focused on you, focused on what you got to do, focused
00:23:08.033 --> 00:23:12.370
On your performance?
00:23:12.370 --> 00:23:14.272
Is all the attention, all the attention given to you?
00:23:14.272 --> 00:23:19.778
And in fact, in a moment, we're gonna find out, if you have been
00:23:19.778 --> 00:23:24.049
Walking in condemnation, even as a christian, jesus has delivered
00:23:24.049 --> 00:23:30.889
You from being condemned because of what you do.
00:23:30.889 --> 00:23:34.125
So, even when you do something crazy, because you believe
00:23:34.125 --> 00:23:37.329
Jesus, you say "father, i believe that you have set me
00:23:37.329 --> 00:23:40.365
Free from my sins, and i believe that i have the free gift
00:23:40.365 --> 00:23:44.102
Of no condemnation," and you keep walking.
00:23:44.102 --> 00:23:46.605
Male announcer: avoid the danger of non-belief.
00:23:50.442 --> 00:23:53.144

00:25:21.333 --> 00:25:23.802
Do you lose your righteousness?
00:25:23.802 --> 00:25:25.604
God's gift of righteousness gives us peace with him,
00:25:25.604 --> 00:25:29.040
Not through our works,
00:25:29.040 --> 00:25:30.609
But through faith in jesus's finished work on the cross.
