  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.343
  • Greg laurie: sometimes our heart condemns us.
  • 00:00:05.081 --> 00:00:08.318
  • Sometimes we do something we should not have done and we feel
  • 00:00:08.418 --> 00:00:12.789
  • Bad about it.
  • 00:00:12.922 --> 00:00:14.557
  • So john is saying even if our heart condemns us, god is
  • 00:00:14.691 --> 00:00:15.692
  • Greater than our heart.
  • 00:00:18.795 --> 00:00:21.631
  • And coming back to the blood of jesus, yeah, you know, i did
  • 00:00:21.631 --> 00:00:24.601
  • Cross the line, but jesus died on the cross, and i'm forgiven,
  • 00:00:24.601 --> 00:00:30.907
  • And my sin is canceled, and my sin is forgiven, and my sin
  • 00:00:30.907 --> 00:00:36.179
  • Is forgotten.
  • 00:00:36.179 --> 00:00:37.547
  • ♪ this is the day, ♪
  • 00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:43.219

  • 00:00:50.894 --> 00:00:58.635
  • Greg: so, i was in a market a while ago, and i checked out,
  • 00:01:02.872 --> 00:01:06.709
  • And i walked by this little section that had flowers for
  • 00:01:06.709 --> 00:01:09.379
  • Sale, and i noticed they had the most beautiful tulips, and i
  • 00:01:09.379 --> 00:01:15.251
  • Love tulips.
  • 00:01:15.251 --> 00:01:16.619
  • Aren't tulips amazing? that may be my favorite flower.
  • 00:01:16.619 --> 00:01:19.322
  • They're just--they're so beautiful and perfect they don't
  • 00:01:19.322 --> 00:01:23.359
  • Look real.
  • 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.761
  • And i looked at this tulip, actually a little bouquet of
  • 00:01:24.761 --> 00:01:27.564
  • Tulips, and i thought, "i've got to get these for cathe."
  • 00:01:27.564 --> 00:01:30.333
  • And so, i bought them.
  • 00:01:30.333 --> 00:01:31.701
  • They were a little on the expensive side.
  • 00:01:31.701 --> 00:01:33.436
  • I was a little surprised, but i thought, "oh, she's going to
  • 00:01:33.436 --> 00:01:36.139
  • Love them," and i took them home and i said, "cathe, look at
  • 00:01:36.139 --> 00:01:39.375
  • These amazing tulips i bought you," and so we got out a vase
  • 00:01:39.375 --> 00:01:43.780
  • And we were cutting the stems and trying to figure out why the
  • 00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:48.084
  • Stem wouldn't cut.
  • 00:01:48.084 --> 00:01:49.419
  • We kept cutting, and then we realized the reason it seemed
  • 00:01:49.419 --> 00:01:52.355
  • Like it was fake was because it was fake.
  • 00:01:52.355 --> 00:01:55.892
  • In fact, i have one of them.
  • 00:01:55.892 --> 00:01:57.260
  • Here's one of the fake tulips.
  • 00:01:57.260 --> 00:01:59.295
  • You can't see it very well, but it looks very similar to a real
  • 00:01:59.295 --> 00:02:04.033
  • Tulip, all right?
  • 00:02:04.033 --> 00:02:05.401
  • So, point number one, if you're taking notes, we live in a world
  • 00:02:05.401 --> 00:02:10.073
  • Full of fake things.
  • 00:02:10.073 --> 00:02:11.808
  • We live in a world full of fake things, and i feel like right
  • 00:02:11.808 --> 00:02:15.945
  • Now our culture is flooded with fake things or "instead of"
  • 00:02:15.945 --> 00:02:20.984
  • Versions of jesus, things that people want to turn their
  • 00:02:20.984 --> 00:02:25.555
  • Attention to.
  • 00:02:25.555 --> 00:02:26.890
  • I want you to think for a moment about the ten commandments.
  • 00:02:26.890 --> 00:02:29.692
  • What is the first commandment of ten that god gives us?
  • 00:02:29.692 --> 00:02:33.530
  • Is it, "you shall not commit adultery"?
  • 00:02:33.530 --> 00:02:37.167
  • Is it, "you shall not murder"?
  • 00:02:37.167 --> 00:02:39.035
  • Is it, "you shall not steal" or "you shall not covet"?
  • 00:02:39.035 --> 00:02:41.704
  • No, the first commandment according to god, which would,
  • 00:02:41.704 --> 00:02:45.642
  • To me, tend to focus on the priority of it, is "you shall
  • 00:02:45.642 --> 00:02:50.013
  • Have no other gods before me."
  • 00:02:50.013 --> 00:02:53.016
  • See, if we have that one right, it will affect us in the keeping
  • 00:02:53.016 --> 00:02:55.952
  • Of all the other commandments.
  • 00:02:55.952 --> 00:02:57.921
  • So number one, "have no other gods before me."
  • 00:02:57.921 --> 00:03:01.357
  • Commandment number two, "don't make any graven images."
  • 00:03:01.357 --> 00:03:03.693
  • So god doesn't want to share his glory with anyone.
  • 00:03:03.693 --> 00:03:08.064
  • But yet in our culture today, it seems like we're looking for
  • 00:03:08.064 --> 00:03:12.168
  • Substitutes for jesus.
  • 00:03:12.168 --> 00:03:14.737
  • We live in an abc culture, "anything but christ."
  • 00:03:14.737 --> 00:03:20.410
  • I think what we're trying to do is to fill a void in our life
  • 00:03:20.410 --> 00:03:24.380
  • That can only be filled by god himself.
  • 00:03:24.380 --> 00:03:27.917
  • So, don't settle for antichrist or "instead of christ" thinking.
  • 00:03:27.917 --> 00:03:36.993
  • And then there are the fake things that people believe
  • 00:03:36.993 --> 00:03:39.996
  • About god.
  • 00:03:39.996 --> 00:03:41.364
  • For instance, people will say, "well, you know, i believe that
  • 00:03:41.364 --> 00:03:44.567
  • All roads lead to god."
  • 00:03:44.567 --> 00:03:46.569
  • Well, that's not true.
  • 00:03:46.569 --> 00:03:48.338
  • Of course, there's only one road that leads to heaven.
  • 00:03:48.338 --> 00:03:51.841
  • And jesus made that clear that he is the way, the truth, and
  • 00:03:51.841 --> 00:03:56.212
  • The life, and no man comes to the father but through him.
  • 00:03:56.212 --> 00:03:59.549
  • Or another false view of god is: all religions basically teach
  • 00:03:59.549 --> 00:04:04.053
  • The same thing.
  • 00:04:04.053 --> 00:04:05.388
  • By the way, if someone says that to you, that's another way of
  • 00:04:05.388 --> 00:04:08.191
  • Them saying, i have no idea what i'm talking about, and i haven't
  • 00:04:08.191 --> 00:04:12.762
  • Even looked into this briefly, as a matter of fact.
  • 00:04:12.762 --> 00:04:16.399
  • "all religions teach the same thing."
  • 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.501
  • Nothing could be further from the truth.
  • 00:04:18.501 --> 00:04:21.471
  • If you were to sum up all the religions of the world, apart
  • 00:04:21.471 --> 00:04:25.341
  • From christianity, you could sum them up in one word: do.
  • 00:04:25.341 --> 00:04:30.580
  • Do, do this, and maybe you'll get to heaven.
  • 00:04:30.580 --> 00:04:33.716
  • Do that and you may find inner peace.
  • 00:04:33.716 --> 00:04:36.586
  • Do this other thing and you might find nirvana.
  • 00:04:36.586 --> 00:04:39.756
  • It's all about doing, but christianity can be summed up in
  • 00:04:39.756 --> 00:04:43.993
  • One word: it's done, done.
  • 00:04:43.993 --> 00:04:46.829
  • God has done it for you.
  • 00:04:46.829 --> 00:04:48.331
  • He's purchased it for you.
  • 00:04:48.331 --> 00:04:52.235
  • So let's dig in and see what john has to say to us in chapter
  • 00:04:52.235 --> 00:04:56.239
  • 3, starting in verse 7.
  • 00:04:56.239 --> 00:04:58.841
  • "little children, let no one deceive you.
  • 00:04:58.841 --> 00:05:02.512
  • He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as he
  • 00:05:02.512 --> 00:05:06.649
  • Is righteous.
  • 00:05:06.649 --> 00:05:08.017
  • He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from
  • 00:05:08.017 --> 00:05:12.855
  • The beginning."
  • 00:05:12.855 --> 00:05:14.190
  • Now, remember, we pointed out that in the greek that could be
  • 00:05:14.190 --> 00:05:16.626
  • Translated habitually or continually, so a better way to
  • 00:05:16.626 --> 00:05:21.964
  • Translate that would be, "he who continually habitually practices
  • 00:05:21.964 --> 00:05:27.870
  • Sin is of the devil," not "whoever has ever committed a
  • 00:05:27.870 --> 00:05:31.307
  • Sin is of the devil," because we've all committed sins.
  • 00:05:31.307 --> 00:05:35.211
  • "for this purpose the son of god was manifested, that he might
  • 00:05:35.211 --> 00:05:39.148
  • Destroy the works of the devil."
  • 00:05:39.148 --> 00:05:41.417
  • I would underline that.
  • 00:05:41.417 --> 00:05:42.785
  • We'll come back to it.
  • 00:05:42.785 --> 00:05:44.120
  • "destroy the works of the devil, for whoever has been born of god
  • 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.824
  • Does not sin, for his seed remains in him; and he cannot
  • 00:05:47.824 --> 00:05:51.761
  • Sin, because he's been born of god."
  • 00:05:51.761 --> 00:05:55.431
  • And i left out one very important verse.
  • 00:05:55.431 --> 00:05:58.668
  • "the devil has sinned from the beginning."
  • 00:05:58.668 --> 00:06:01.070
  • All right, so that brings me to point number three: satan is
  • 00:06:01.070 --> 00:06:05.575
  • Real and always has been.
  • 00:06:05.575 --> 00:06:07.944
  • The devil, according to verse 6, has sinned from the beginning.
  • 00:06:07.944 --> 00:06:13.082
  • We've basically been on demon time since day one.
  • 00:06:13.082 --> 00:06:17.453
  • That's literally satan's whole vibe, if you will.
  • 00:06:17.453 --> 00:06:20.690
  • It's lying, twisting truth, and causing chaos.
  • 00:06:20.690 --> 00:06:24.427
  • It's not a phrase.
  • 00:06:24.427 --> 00:06:26.095
  • That's how he rolls.
  • 00:06:26.095 --> 00:06:28.030
  • That's who he is.
  • 00:06:28.030 --> 00:06:29.599
  • That is his nature.
  • 00:06:29.599 --> 00:06:31.200
  • So we wonder why would god create someone as horrible and
  • 00:06:31.200 --> 00:06:36.739
  • As evil as satan?
  • 00:06:36.739 --> 00:06:39.075
  • And the conventional wisdom is satan came from hell, but
  • 00:06:39.075 --> 00:06:42.512
  • Actually satan didn't come from hell at all.
  • 00:06:42.512 --> 00:06:45.915
  • You might be surprised to know that if you want to get
  • 00:06:45.915 --> 00:06:48.885
  • Technical, satan came from heaven.
  • 00:06:48.885 --> 00:06:52.355
  • Now let me explain.
  • 00:06:52.355 --> 00:06:53.756
  • He was not always satan.
  • 00:06:53.756 --> 00:06:55.925
  • First he was lucifer, the son of the morning, a beautiful
  • 00:06:55.925 --> 00:06:59.862
  • High-ranking angel, possibly an archangel, certainly an
  • 00:06:59.862 --> 00:07:04.567
  • Important one, who had access to the throne of god, but he
  • 00:07:04.567 --> 00:07:08.738
  • Rebelled against god.
  • 00:07:08.738 --> 00:07:11.307
  • Why he did that, we don't know, but he rebelled against god and
  • 00:07:11.307 --> 00:07:15.945
  • Took one third of the angels with him.
  • 00:07:15.945 --> 00:07:19.882
  • And that's where we get demons from.
  • 00:07:19.882 --> 00:07:22.151
  • Demons are fallen angels.
  • 00:07:22.151 --> 00:07:24.086
  • So to this day, the devil, formerly lucifer, now has a
  • 00:07:24.086 --> 00:07:29.225
  • Network of demon powers around the planet that do his bidding.
  • 00:07:29.225 --> 00:07:34.764
  • The bible says the whole world is under the sway of the
  • 00:07:34.764 --> 00:07:37.900
  • Wicked one.
  • 00:07:37.900 --> 00:07:39.268
  • He's called the god of this world, the prince of the power
  • 00:07:39.268 --> 00:07:43.439
  • Of the air, and so forth.
  • 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.241
  • And so he wasn't made as satan, but he became satan when he
  • 00:07:45.241 --> 00:07:50.279
  • Rebelled against god, and god's judgment came upon him as
  • 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.151
  • A result.
  • 00:07:55.151 --> 00:07:56.486
  • That brings me to point number four: satan comes to accuse
  • 00:07:56.486 --> 00:08:00.156
  • And deceive.
  • 00:08:00.156 --> 00:08:02.024
  • He comes to accuse and deceive.
  • 00:08:02.024 --> 00:08:04.794
  • So we have a picture of this in the bible, in the book of job,
  • 00:08:04.794 --> 00:08:10.199
  • Where the angels come and present themselves before
  • 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.602
  • The lord.
  • 00:08:12.602 --> 00:08:13.936
  • The bible says satan was among them.
  • 00:08:13.936 --> 00:08:15.538
  • And the lord says, loose paraphrase, "hey guys,
  • 00:08:15.538 --> 00:08:18.074
  • What's up?
  • 00:08:18.074 --> 00:08:19.442
  • What you been doing?"
  • 00:08:19.442 --> 00:08:20.776
  • And then satan speaks up and says, "well, i've been just
  • 00:08:20.776 --> 00:08:25.181
  • Looking around the planet, watching what's going on."
  • 00:08:25.181 --> 00:08:28.317
  • And then god starts bragging on job, of course: "have you
  • 00:08:28.317 --> 00:08:31.587
  • Considered my servant job, a perfect and upright man, one
  • 00:08:31.587 --> 00:08:34.891
  • That fears god and shuns evil."
  • 00:08:34.891 --> 00:08:36.659
  • And the devil pushes back and says, "oh, job just fears you
  • 00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:40.930
  • Because you bless him.
  • 00:08:40.930 --> 00:08:42.598
  • Job fears you because you give him cool stuff.
  • 00:08:42.598 --> 00:08:45.701
  • Give me a little time with job and we'll see what he's
  • 00:08:45.701 --> 00:08:48.571
  • Made of."
  • 00:08:48.571 --> 00:08:49.906
  • And the lord allowed the devil to bring a series of calamities
  • 00:08:49.906 --> 00:08:53.843
  • Upon poor old job, and that's a lot of what the book is about.
  • 00:08:53.843 --> 00:08:58.414
  • But you see the devil approaching god and accusing job
  • 00:08:58.414 --> 00:09:03.286
  • Before god, and that is who satan is.
  • 00:09:03.286 --> 00:09:05.388
  • He is an accuser.
  • 00:09:05.388 --> 00:09:07.023
  • The bible calls him the accuser of the brethren.
  • 00:09:07.023 --> 00:09:11.460
  • And with this demon network, their purpose seems to
  • 00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:14.597
  • Be twofold.
  • 00:09:14.597 --> 00:09:15.932
  • They want to hinder the purposes of god and extend the power
  • 00:09:15.932 --> 00:09:21.137
  • Of satan.
  • 00:09:21.137 --> 00:09:22.505
  • So it's kind of scary when you think about it, and you think,
  • 00:09:22.505 --> 00:09:25.074
  • How can we overcome the devil?
  • 00:09:25.074 --> 00:09:27.410
  • And that brings me to my next point.
  • 00:09:27.410 --> 00:09:29.879
  • Jesus has already defeated satan.
  • 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.982
  • Jesus has already defeated satan.
  • 00:09:33.849 --> 00:09:35.952
  • Look at 1 john 3:8: "for this purpose, the son of god was
  • 00:09:35.952 --> 00:09:39.889
  • Manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.
  • 00:09:39.889 --> 00:09:44.427
  • Whoever has been born of god does not sin.
  • 00:09:44.427 --> 00:09:46.362
  • His seed remains in him, and he cannot sin because he's been
  • 00:09:46.362 --> 00:09:49.699
  • Born of god."
  • 00:09:49.699 --> 00:09:51.734
  • So why was jesus christ manifested?
  • 00:09:51.734 --> 00:09:54.403
  • Why did he come to our planet?
  • 00:09:54.403 --> 00:09:56.639
  • Well, he came to die for the sin of the world, needless to say.
  • 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.610
  • But he also came to destroy the works of the devil.
  • 00:10:00.610 --> 00:10:06.782
  • At the cross, satan was canceled.
  • 00:10:06.782 --> 00:10:10.453
  • We hear about people being canceled today.
  • 00:10:10.453 --> 00:10:13.089
  • Jesus canceled satan.
  • 00:10:13.089 --> 00:10:15.491
  • And it's talked about in colossians 2:14 where it says,
  • 00:10:15.491 --> 00:10:18.961
  • "christ canceled the record of the charges against us and took
  • 00:10:18.961 --> 00:10:23.299
  • It away, nailing it to the cross.
  • 00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:25.401
  • In this way he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities
  • 00:10:25.401 --> 00:10:29.639
  • And shamed them publicly by the victory over them on the cross."
  • 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.609
  • So jesus canceled the record.
  • 00:10:33.609 --> 00:10:36.746
  • The word here used for record is a handwritten certificate
  • 00:10:36.746 --> 00:10:40.883
  • Of debt.
  • 00:10:40.883 --> 00:10:42.218
  • So imagine this for a moment.
  • 00:10:42.218 --> 00:10:43.786
  • Here is a list, and on this list is your name, and there below
  • 00:10:43.786 --> 00:10:49.058
  • Your name is a list of every sin you've ever committed throughout
  • 00:10:49.058 --> 00:10:53.996
  • Your life.
  • 00:10:53.996 --> 00:10:55.331
  • That would be a long list, would it not?
  • 00:10:55.331 --> 00:10:56.699
  • And they just go through page after page after page, and
  • 00:10:56.699 --> 00:11:00.403
  • You're just absolutely horrified by it.
  • 00:11:00.403 --> 00:11:03.606
  • But here's what this verse is teaching.
  • 00:11:03.606 --> 00:11:05.374
  • When christ died on the cross, he canceled that list.
  • 00:11:05.374 --> 00:11:10.079
  • He canceled every sin, canceled every lie, canceled every--
  • 00:11:10.079 --> 00:11:15.084
  • Everything you've done wrong.
  • 00:11:15.084 --> 00:11:16.452
  • He paid for it and he defeated it.
  • 00:11:16.452 --> 00:11:19.722
  • And i know there are times when some sins seem undefeatable.
  • 00:11:19.722 --> 00:11:24.527
  • There's addictions in your life that you don't feel you
  • 00:11:24.527 --> 00:11:27.196
  • Can break.
  • 00:11:27.196 --> 00:11:28.564
  • There are weaknesses you have that you don't feel you can
  • 00:11:28.564 --> 00:11:32.435
  • Overcome, but according to this verse and other verses, this has
  • 00:11:32.435 --> 00:11:36.906
  • Been dealt with at the cross.
  • 00:11:36.906 --> 00:11:39.575
  • So over in revelation 12, and i want you to turn to revelation
  • 00:11:39.575 --> 00:11:42.912
  • 12, we're gonna go there for a few moments, also written by
  • 00:11:42.912 --> 00:11:46.582
  • John under the inspiration of the holy spirit on the island
  • 00:11:46.582 --> 00:11:50.352
  • Of patmos.
  • 00:11:50.352 --> 00:11:52.221
  • In revelation 12, we have an interesting scene.
  • 00:11:52.221 --> 00:11:55.524
  • We have a battle breaking out in heaven.
  • 00:11:55.524 --> 00:11:58.661
  • Satan and his fallen angels pick a fight with michael and his
  • 00:11:58.661 --> 00:12:03.532
  • Angels, which is a bad idea because satanism isn't even
  • 00:12:03.532 --> 00:12:08.938
  • The equal of michael, much less god.
  • 00:12:08.938 --> 00:12:12.374
  • I bring this up because i think sometimes we think that satan is
  • 00:12:12.374 --> 00:12:15.945
  • The equal of god.
  • 00:12:15.945 --> 00:12:17.346
  • He's not even close to that.
  • 00:12:17.346 --> 00:12:19.115
  • God is omnipresent.
  • 00:12:19.115 --> 00:12:20.483
  • Satan can only be in one place at one time.
  • 00:12:20.483 --> 00:12:23.152
  • God is omniscient, means all knowing.
  • 00:12:23.152 --> 00:12:26.021
  • Satan knows a lot, but he has limited knowledge.
  • 00:12:26.021 --> 00:12:29.091
  • God is omnipotent, all powerful.
  • 00:12:29.091 --> 00:12:31.527
  • Satan has limitations to his power.
  • 00:12:31.527 --> 00:12:33.829
  • But even michael the archangel is more powerful than satan, so
  • 00:12:33.829 --> 00:12:37.800
  • You don't pick a fight with someone that can beat you.
  • 00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:41.237
  • That's exactly what the devil does.
  • 00:12:41.237 --> 00:12:43.606
  • He picks a fight with michael, and michael, of
  • 00:12:43.606 --> 00:12:46.342
  • Course, prevails.
  • 00:12:46.342 --> 00:12:47.943
  • Satan is cast out of heaven, and then we pick the story up in
  • 00:12:47.943 --> 00:12:51.647
  • Revelation 12, starting in verse 10: "then i heard a loud voice
  • 00:12:51.647 --> 00:12:55.317
  • In heaven, 'now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
  • 00:12:55.317 --> 00:12:58.921
  • God, and the power of his christ has come, for the accuser of the
  • 00:12:58.921 --> 00:13:03.225
  • Brethren,'" i would underline that.
  • 00:13:03.225 --> 00:13:05.394
  • "'the accuser of the brethren, who accused them before our god
  • 00:13:05.394 --> 00:13:09.765
  • Day and night, has been cast down.'"
  • 00:13:09.765 --> 00:13:11.500
  • Now here's a big verse.
  • 00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:13.235
  • "'they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, by the word of
  • 00:13:13.235 --> 00:13:16.605
  • Their testimony, and they did not love their lives to
  • 00:13:16.605 --> 00:13:20.109
  • The death.'"
  • 00:13:20.109 --> 00:13:21.477
  • So he's overcome.
  • 00:13:21.477 --> 00:13:23.245
  • And how do they do it, these believers?
  • 00:13:23.245 --> 00:13:26.348
  • "by the blood of the lamb, the word of their testimony, and
  • 00:13:26.348 --> 00:13:30.419
  • They did not love their lives unto the death."
  • 00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:35.391
  • But there's a verse that precedes this that's very
  • 00:13:35.391 --> 00:13:37.693
  • Important that explains why the devil does what he does.
  • 00:13:37.693 --> 00:13:41.697
  • And it's revelation 12:12, it says: "woe to the inhabitants of
  • 00:13:41.697 --> 00:13:45.835
  • The earth.
  • 00:13:45.835 --> 00:13:47.203
  • For this devil has come down to you, having great wrath, and he
  • 00:13:47.203 --> 00:13:51.574
  • Knows he has a short time."
  • 00:13:51.574 --> 00:13:54.944
  • See, the devil knows his days are numbered.
  • 00:13:54.944 --> 00:13:57.780
  • He knows he's going to be judged, and you would think he
  • 00:13:57.780 --> 00:14:01.750
  • Would repent and get right with god, but he does the
  • 00:14:01.750 --> 00:14:04.253
  • Very opposite.
  • 00:14:04.253 --> 00:14:05.688
  • He wants to wreak as much havoc as he can among humanity until
  • 00:14:05.688 --> 00:14:10.759
  • The day he faces his final judgment, and then he has his
  • 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:15.531
  • Demon powers working with him.
  • 00:14:15.531 --> 00:14:18.000
  • He picks this fight with satan-- this fight with michael rather,
  • 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.072
  • But then he attacks the believers with accusation.
  • 00:14:23.072 --> 00:14:26.909
  • It's important we understand how this works.
  • 00:14:26.909 --> 00:14:29.945
  • He is the accuser of the brethren.
  • 00:14:29.945 --> 00:14:31.814
  • So here's how it rolls.
  • 00:14:31.814 --> 00:14:34.149
  • You're just sitting somewhere, maybe even in church, sitting in
  • 00:14:34.149 --> 00:14:37.319
  • Church, listening to a message, and you're thinking, "greg is
  • 00:14:37.319 --> 00:14:42.191
  • Such a handsome gentleman."
  • 00:14:42.191 --> 00:14:45.160
  • Excuse me, those are my thoughts.
  • 00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:46.662
  • I apologize.
  • 00:14:46.662 --> 00:14:48.097
  • No, you're whatever, you're listening, maybe you're
  • 00:14:48.097 --> 00:14:50.499
  • Worshiping, whatever it is you're doing, it's all good.
  • 00:14:50.499 --> 00:14:54.103
  • You're in church, and suddenly the most wicked twisted thought
  • 00:14:54.103 --> 00:14:59.141
  • Comes into your mind.
  • 00:14:59.141 --> 00:15:00.476
  • I mean, really bad.
  • 00:15:00.476 --> 00:15:02.311
  • You can't even believe this thought is in your mind, and you
  • 00:15:02.311 --> 00:15:06.715
  • Can't believe this thought is in your mind in church of
  • 00:15:06.715 --> 00:15:09.385
  • All places.
  • 00:15:09.385 --> 00:15:10.753
  • And immediately, the accuser of the brethren says, "what kind of
  • 00:15:10.753 --> 00:15:14.056
  • A twisted person are you?
  • 00:15:14.056 --> 00:15:16.759
  • Why would you think such a thought?
  • 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.095
  • You ought to just leave church right now.
  • 00:15:20.095 --> 00:15:21.864
  • You're the ultimate hypocrite for even being in here."
  • 00:15:21.864 --> 00:15:24.466
  • So if you walk out while i'm preaching, i know this is what's
  • 00:15:24.466 --> 00:15:27.036
  • Happening to you.
  • 00:15:27.036 --> 00:15:28.871
  • Or you have to go to the bathroom, one of those
  • 00:15:28.871 --> 00:15:30.606
  • Two things.
  • 00:15:30.606 --> 00:15:32.207
  • But here's the thing, it's not a sin to be tempted.
  • 00:15:32.207 --> 00:15:37.146
  • It's only a sin if you give in to the temptation.
  • 00:15:37.146 --> 00:15:40.683
  • The issue of sin is not in the bait, it's in the bite.
  • 00:15:40.683 --> 00:15:44.954
  • So if the devil comes and dangles something before you,
  • 00:15:44.954 --> 00:15:48.357
  • That doesn't mean you've done a single thing wrong.
  • 00:15:48.357 --> 00:15:51.327
  • Jesus himself was tempted.
  • 00:15:51.327 --> 00:15:54.063
  • It's not a sin to be tempted.
  • 00:15:54.063 --> 00:15:55.998
  • But you have a choice.
  • 00:15:55.998 --> 00:15:57.499
  • I can let that thought into my mind, let it become a part of my
  • 00:15:57.499 --> 00:16:01.270
  • Thought processes, or i can reject that thought at the
  • 00:16:01.270 --> 00:16:05.074
  • Outset and not let it in.
  • 00:16:05.074 --> 00:16:06.942
  • That's why the bible says, "casting down imaginations in
  • 00:16:06.942 --> 00:16:10.713
  • Every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge
  • 00:16:10.713 --> 00:16:14.416
  • Of god."
  • 00:16:14.416 --> 00:16:15.751
  • The bible also says, "you will keep them in perfect peace whose
  • 00:16:15.751 --> 00:16:19.421
  • Mind is stayed on you."
  • 00:16:19.421 --> 00:16:21.523
  • So if you let that thought in, now we have a problem.
  • 00:16:21.523 --> 00:16:25.327
  • And then even worse, if you act on that thought, far worse.
  • 00:16:25.327 --> 00:16:29.298
  • But if you just cut it off right there, you don't open the door,
  • 00:16:29.298 --> 00:16:32.434
  • You don't entertain it, then you don't have to feel bad.
  • 00:16:32.434 --> 00:16:35.971
  • You can just say, "get behind me, satan."
  • 00:16:35.971 --> 00:16:39.575
  • You know, the bible says, "resist the devil and he'll flee
  • 00:16:39.575 --> 00:16:41.944
  • From you."
  • 00:16:41.944 --> 00:16:43.278
  • Get out of here.
  • 00:16:43.278 --> 00:16:44.646
  • Go to hell.
  • 00:16:44.646 --> 00:16:46.181
  • That's the one time you can say, "go to hell," and it's
  • 00:16:46.181 --> 00:16:48.584
  • Not cussing.
  • 00:16:48.584 --> 00:16:50.085
  • "just go to hell," because that's where he's going, right?
  • 00:16:50.085 --> 00:16:55.491
  • But he tempts us and then he accuses us for being
  • 00:16:58.794 --> 00:17:03.832
  • Tempted, right?
  • 00:17:03.832 --> 00:17:05.701
  • How do you overcome him?
  • 00:17:05.701 --> 00:17:07.669
  • We just read about it in verse 11, there in revelation.
  • 00:17:07.669 --> 00:17:10.773
  • "they overcame him by the blood of the lamb."
  • 00:17:10.773 --> 00:17:13.942
  • So, let's say that you gave in to that temptation, at
  • 00:17:13.942 --> 00:17:17.780
  • Least mentally.
  • 00:17:17.780 --> 00:17:19.114
  • You entertained it, you took it for a test drive, and then you
  • 00:17:19.114 --> 00:17:23.052
  • Realize, "this is wrong, this is sinful.
  • 00:17:23.052 --> 00:17:25.254
  • God, i'm sorry.
  • 00:17:25.254 --> 00:17:26.588
  • Forgive me."
  • 00:17:26.588 --> 00:17:27.956
  • The devil will say, "don't go to god and say you're sorry.
  • 00:17:27.956 --> 00:17:29.992
  • God's not gonna hear your prayer.
  • 00:17:29.992 --> 00:17:31.760
  • You're a hypocrite."
  • 00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:33.128
  • Okay, listen.
  • 00:17:33.128 --> 00:17:34.463
  • I can go to god any time because christ died for my sin and has
  • 00:17:34.463 --> 00:17:40.169
  • Given me access.
  • 00:17:40.169 --> 00:17:42.371
  • Satan is always gonna use your sins in a hateful and condemning
  • 00:17:42.371 --> 00:17:46.308
  • Way to drive you from the cross.
  • 00:17:46.308 --> 00:17:49.545
  • The holy spirit will convict you of your sins in a loving way to
  • 00:17:49.545 --> 00:17:53.782
  • Bring you to the cross.
  • 00:17:53.782 --> 00:17:55.851
  • Anything that drives you from the cross is from the devil.
  • 00:17:55.851 --> 00:17:59.321
  • Don't listen to it.
  • 00:17:59.321 --> 00:18:00.656
  • I can go to christ right now.
  • 00:18:00.656 --> 00:18:02.391
  • I can be forgiven.
  • 00:18:02.391 --> 00:18:03.725
  • Yes, i sin, but i repent of that sin, and i ask you to
  • 00:18:03.725 --> 00:18:07.296
  • Forgive me.
  • 00:18:07.296 --> 00:18:08.630
  • That's how you overcome satan by the blood of the lamb.
  • 00:18:08.630 --> 00:18:11.266
  • See, you have to apply the blood.
  • 00:18:11.266 --> 00:18:13.435
  • Yes, jesus shed his blood for you, but it's not gonna help you
  • 00:18:13.435 --> 00:18:16.572
  • If you don't apply it.
  • 00:18:16.572 --> 00:18:17.906
  • "god, i don't know what that means."
  • 00:18:17.906 --> 00:18:19.241
  • It means that you say, "lord, i know you shed your blood for me.
  • 00:18:19.241 --> 00:18:22.911
  • I'm sorry for my sin.
  • 00:18:22.911 --> 00:18:24.780
  • Forgive me of my sin, and because you promised if i walk
  • 00:18:24.780 --> 00:18:29.251
  • In the light, as you're in the light, i'll have fellowship with
  • 00:18:29.251 --> 00:18:32.187
  • You and the blood of jesus christ will cleanse me from
  • 00:18:32.187 --> 00:18:36.158
  • All sin."
  • 00:18:36.158 --> 00:18:37.493
  • You say the verse out loud.
  • 00:18:37.493 --> 00:18:39.428
  • And then you say, "and i claim that promise right now.
  • 00:18:39.428 --> 00:18:42.131
  • I am forgiven by god."
  • 00:18:42.131 --> 00:18:44.833
  • That's how you apply the blood, and it's something we need
  • 00:18:44.833 --> 00:18:47.336
  • To do.
  • 00:18:47.336 --> 00:18:48.704
  • Now we shift gears.
  • 00:18:48.704 --> 00:18:50.272
  • And john is dealing with the topic of envy.
  • 00:18:50.272 --> 00:18:53.475
  • 1 john 3:11: "for this message you've heard from the beginning,
  • 00:18:53.475 --> 00:18:57.412
  • That we should love one another, not as cain, who was of the
  • 00:18:57.412 --> 00:19:00.516
  • Wicked one and murdered his brother.
  • 00:19:00.516 --> 00:19:02.951
  • And why did he murder him?
  • 00:19:02.951 --> 00:19:04.720
  • Because his works were evil and his brother's were righteous."
  • 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:09.291
  • So my point is envy kills.
  • 00:19:09.291 --> 00:19:12.094
  • So cain and abel, the sons of adam and eve, they brought their
  • 00:19:12.094 --> 00:19:16.798
  • Offerings to the lord.
  • 00:19:16.798 --> 00:19:18.734
  • God accepted the offering of abel.
  • 00:19:18.734 --> 00:19:21.436
  • He rejected the offering of cain.
  • 00:19:21.436 --> 00:19:24.206
  • So cain was so angry, so filled with envy and jealousy, he
  • 00:19:24.206 --> 00:19:29.111
  • Murdered his brother abel.
  • 00:19:29.111 --> 00:19:32.781
  • So we see how important motive is.
  • 00:19:32.781 --> 00:19:36.051
  • You know, envy is an interesting kind of a sin when you think
  • 00:19:36.051 --> 00:19:39.354
  • About it.
  • 00:19:39.354 --> 00:19:40.789
  • Because we only envy certain people.
  • 00:19:40.789 --> 00:19:44.693
  • In other words, i don't envy someone that's greater than me.
  • 00:19:44.693 --> 00:19:47.696
  • I don't sit around and think, why don't i have the wealth of
  • 00:19:47.696 --> 00:19:51.133
  • Elon musk?
  • 00:19:51.133 --> 00:19:54.069
  • Or why don't i have the ability to play guitar like
  • 00:19:54.069 --> 00:19:57.406
  • Eric clapton?
  • 00:19:57.406 --> 00:19:59.041
  • Or why can't i do something like this famous person?
  • 00:19:59.041 --> 00:20:02.444
  • You don't think that.
  • 00:20:02.444 --> 00:20:04.012
  • You envy people that are closer to you.
  • 00:20:04.012 --> 00:20:06.515
  • Aristotle said, quote, "envy grows naturally in a
  • 00:20:06.515 --> 00:20:10.252
  • Relationship between equals," end quote.
  • 00:20:10.252 --> 00:20:13.488
  • So envy has been described as a small-town sin.
  • 00:20:13.488 --> 00:20:17.559
  • It breeds on proximity.
  • 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:19.928
  • So i'm not going to envy some celebrity for the most part.
  • 00:20:19.928 --> 00:20:23.865
  • I'm going to envy my neighbor.
  • 00:20:23.865 --> 00:20:26.902
  • How come my neighbor has that and i don't have that?
  • 00:20:26.902 --> 00:20:30.138
  • I'm gonna envy a coworker.
  • 00:20:30.138 --> 00:20:32.908
  • I'm gonna envy maybe somebody that i have a friendship with,
  • 00:20:32.908 --> 00:20:37.879
  • And you know, and i'm desiring what they have.
  • 00:20:37.879 --> 00:20:41.516
  • I've told you the illustration before of the crab fisherman who
  • 00:20:41.516 --> 00:20:45.554
  • Had his bucket full of crabs with no lid.
  • 00:20:45.554 --> 00:20:48.557
  • And someone said, "wow, those crabs are in your bucket.
  • 00:20:48.557 --> 00:20:51.260
  • Why don't they climb out?"
  • 00:20:51.260 --> 00:20:52.628
  • He goes, "oh, it's no problem, because when one climbs up, the
  • 00:20:52.628 --> 00:20:55.330
  • Others pull them back down."
  • 00:20:55.330 --> 00:20:57.699
  • That's how we are.
  • 00:20:57.699 --> 00:20:59.034
  • I envy, i want that. and this is what motivated cain.
  • 00:20:59.034 --> 00:21:03.205
  • His motives were wrong.
  • 00:21:03.205 --> 00:21:05.207
  • See, when they brought their offering, abel brought his
  • 00:21:05.207 --> 00:21:07.943
  • Offering in faith, and cain did not.
  • 00:21:07.943 --> 00:21:10.812
  • And motives are everything when it comes to approaching god,
  • 00:21:10.812 --> 00:21:15.284
  • Certainly in our prayers, also in our finances.
  • 00:21:15.284 --> 00:21:19.254
  • When you pray, you want to have your heart in the right place.
  • 00:21:19.254 --> 00:21:24.526
  • God says, "these people draw near to me with their lips, but
  • 00:21:24.526 --> 00:21:27.362
  • Their hearts are far from me."
  • 00:21:27.362 --> 00:21:29.731
  • You know, we think in worship, it's all about having a
  • 00:21:29.731 --> 00:21:31.967
  • Beautiful voice, but really, what it really comes down to is
  • 00:21:31.967 --> 00:21:36.038
  • Having a heart that's right with god.
  • 00:21:36.038 --> 00:21:38.340
  • And when we worship, the lord's not saying, "wow, your voice is
  • 00:21:38.340 --> 00:21:40.876
  • Better than anybody else's voice.
  • 00:21:40.876 --> 00:21:43.211
  • And this person, your voice is awful."
  • 00:21:43.211 --> 00:21:45.380
  • No, he doesn't-- god doesn't look at that.
  • 00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:47.316
  • God looks on the heart. look at this person's heart.
  • 00:21:47.316 --> 00:21:50.619
  • Look at how they're turned toward me.
  • 00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:52.888
  • And another person maybe who's not engaged at all, or when we
  • 00:21:52.888 --> 00:21:56.124
  • Pray, we're saying something, but our heart is not really in
  • 00:21:56.124 --> 00:22:00.062
  • It, so motive matters there.
  • 00:22:00.062 --> 00:22:02.230
  • It certainly matters in the giving of our finances because
  • 00:22:02.230 --> 00:22:06.401
  • The bible says god loves a cheerful giver.
  • 00:22:06.401 --> 00:22:10.839
  • It is an absolute privilege to give of our finances to
  • 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:16.611
  • The lord.
  • 00:22:16.611 --> 00:22:18.013
  • You know why?
  • 00:22:18.013 --> 00:22:19.381
  • Because everything that you have has been given to you by god to
  • 00:22:19.381 --> 00:22:23.485
  • Start with.
  • 00:22:23.485 --> 00:22:24.853
  • Max lucado put it this way, quote, "god doesn't need
  • 00:22:24.853 --> 00:22:27.222
  • Your money.
  • 00:22:27.222 --> 00:22:28.557
  • He already owns it all.
  • 00:22:28.557 --> 00:22:29.925
  • What he wants is your heart, and giving is how you loosen your
  • 00:22:29.925 --> 00:22:33.362
  • Grip and align your trust," end quote.
  • 00:22:33.362 --> 00:22:36.832
  • So that brings me to my next point.
  • 00:22:36.832 --> 00:22:39.801
  • If we really know god, we will love our brothers and sisters.
  • 00:22:39.801 --> 00:22:44.606
  • Look at 1 john 3:14: "we know that we pass from death to life
  • 00:22:44.606 --> 00:22:48.543
  • Because we love the brethren.
  • 00:22:48.543 --> 00:22:50.479
  • He who does not love his brother abides in death.
  • 00:22:50.479 --> 00:22:53.482
  • Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no
  • 00:22:53.482 --> 00:22:58.320
  • Murderer has eternal life abiding in him."
  • 00:22:58.320 --> 00:23:01.890
  • The word "hate" means to habitually despise.
  • 00:23:01.890 --> 00:23:06.294
  • This is not just a transient emotion, this is a
  • 00:23:06.294 --> 00:23:09.598
  • Deep-rooted loathing.
  • 00:23:09.598 --> 00:23:11.800
  • Now we all get ticked off with people at times, you know, like
  • 00:23:11.800 --> 00:23:16.805
  • Driving and you honk.
  • 00:23:16.805 --> 00:23:19.841
  • Do you ever honk?
  • 00:23:19.841 --> 00:23:21.510
  • I've never thought of myself as a honker, per se, but i guess
  • 00:23:21.510 --> 00:23:26.515
  • I am.
  • 00:23:26.515 --> 00:23:27.883
  • I was driving with my granddaughter rylie the other
  • 00:23:27.883 --> 00:23:30.118
  • Day, and i said, "rylie, who's the best driver you know?"
  • 00:23:30.118 --> 00:23:35.390
  • Now i wanted her to say me, 'cause i think i'm a pretty
  • 00:23:35.390 --> 00:23:38.560
  • Good driver.
  • 00:23:38.560 --> 00:23:39.928
  • She said, "my dad."
  • 00:23:39.928 --> 00:23:41.696
  • "oh, really, why do you say your dad?"
  • 00:23:41.696 --> 00:23:43.999
  • She said, "because he doesn't honk at people."
  • 00:23:43.999 --> 00:23:47.436
  • I said, "i don't honk at people."
  • 00:23:47.436 --> 00:23:49.337
  • She said, "oh, papa, you honk at people a lot."
  • 00:23:49.337 --> 00:23:54.009
  • Yes, so, i guess i'm a honker.
  • 00:23:54.009 --> 00:24:00.015
  • But that's not what john is talking about, not a honker, but
  • 00:24:00.015 --> 00:24:04.586
  • A hater, where you wanna destroy that person, and you don't wanna
  • 00:24:04.586 --> 00:24:10.292
  • Be that person who has that kind of sin in your life, and that is
  • 00:24:10.292 --> 00:24:14.663
  • Exactly what he's dealing with here.
  • 00:24:14.663 --> 00:24:17.065
  • And now we shift gears and we come to the final movement of
  • 00:24:17.065 --> 00:24:22.370
  • What he's saying to us in 1 john 3 where in verse 19 he says, "we
  • 00:24:22.370 --> 00:24:26.842
  • Know we're of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts
  • 00:24:26.842 --> 00:24:30.512
  • Before him.
  • 00:24:30.512 --> 00:24:31.847
  • For if our heart condemn us, god is greater than our heart, and
  • 00:24:31.847 --> 00:24:34.382
  • He knows all things.
  • 00:24:34.382 --> 00:24:38.053
  • Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence
  • 00:24:38.053 --> 00:24:41.022
  • Toward god that whatever we ask, we receive of him because we
  • 00:24:41.022 --> 00:24:45.193
  • Keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing
  • 00:24:45.193 --> 00:24:48.997
  • In his sight."
  • 00:24:48.997 --> 00:24:50.999
  • Sometimes our heart condemns us.
  • 00:24:50.999 --> 00:24:53.935
  • Sometimes we do something we should not have done, and we
  • 00:24:53.935 --> 00:24:57.906
  • Feel bad about it.
  • 00:24:57.906 --> 00:25:00.141
  • So john is saying, even if our heart condemns us, god is
  • 00:25:00.141 --> 00:25:04.412
  • Greater than our heart.
  • 00:25:04.412 --> 00:25:07.349
  • And coming back to the blood of jesus, yeah, you know, i did
  • 00:25:07.349 --> 00:25:10.252
  • Cross the line, but jesus died on the cross.
  • 00:25:10.252 --> 00:25:14.956
  • And i'm forgiven and my sin is canceled, and my sin is forgiven
  • 00:25:14.956 --> 00:25:20.896
  • And my sin is forgotten.
  • 00:25:20.896 --> 00:25:25.367
  • Greg: hi, i'm greg laurie.
  • 00:25:28.970 --> 00:25:30.305
  • Years ago, i was in the ocean with my son
  • 00:25:30.305 --> 00:25:32.908
  • And we got caught in a rip tide.
  • 00:25:32.908 --> 00:25:35.343
  • Problem is, we were only a few feet from the shore.
  • 00:25:35.343 --> 00:25:38.446
  • The lifeguard comes to rescue me.
  • 00:25:38.446 --> 00:25:40.115
  • I say, "i think i'm okay," and i finally got my feet
  • 00:25:40.115 --> 00:25:43.451
  • On firm ground.
  • 00:25:43.451 --> 00:25:44.786
  • But the problem was i was too proud to say i needed help.
  • 00:25:44.786 --> 00:25:47.956
  • That's like us, drowning in sin, drowning in addiction,
  • 00:25:47.956 --> 00:25:52.561
  • Needing the help of god.
  • 00:25:52.561 --> 00:25:54.229
  • Here's what the bible says.
  • 00:25:54.229 --> 00:25:55.564
  • "whoever will call upon the name of the lord will be saved."
  • 00:25:55.564 --> 00:25:58.633
  • Whatever you're facing right now, jesus is ready to come
  • 00:25:58.633 --> 00:26:03.071
  • And help you, to save you.
  • 00:26:03.071 --> 00:26:04.573
  • You can just pray, "lord jesus, save me, forgive me of my sin.
  • 00:26:04.573 --> 00:26:08.476
  • I need a relationship with you.
  • 00:26:08.476 --> 00:26:10.378
  • I need hope of my life."
  • 00:26:10.378 --> 00:26:12.180
  • Pray that prayer.
  • 00:26:12.180 --> 00:26:13.548
  • He'll hear it and he'll answer it.
  • 00:26:13.548 --> 00:26:16.151
  • I want to send you a bible
  • 00:26:16.151 --> 00:26:17.652
  • At no charge to help you
  • 00:26:17.652 --> 00:26:19.487
  • Get started in a relationship
  • 00:26:19.487 --> 00:26:21.790
  • With jesus christ.
  • 00:26:21.790 --> 00:26:26.928
  • Greg: hey, greg laurie here. maybe you've seen this.
  • 00:26:31.032 --> 00:26:33.201
  • This is called the "new believer's bible," and a number
  • 00:26:33.201 --> 00:26:36.538
  • Of years ago, i wanted to do an edition of scripture with
  • 00:26:36.538 --> 00:26:41.409
  • Commentary that would make the bible more accessible to someone
  • 00:26:41.409 --> 00:26:46.281
  • Who's never read it before, like a new believer.
  • 00:26:46.281 --> 00:26:49.317
  • But today we live, of course, in a digital world,
  • 00:26:49.317 --> 00:26:53.121
  • So we've taken the curriculum from the "new believer's bible"
  • 00:26:53.121 --> 00:26:56.424
  • And we created this online community of people just like
  • 00:26:56.424 --> 00:26:59.894
  • You who are studying the word of god together.
  • 00:26:59.894 --> 00:27:03.331
  • By the way, this is free of charge, you can learn at
  • 00:27:03.331 --> 00:27:06.101
  • Your own pace, but most importantly, you'll experience
  • 00:27:06.101 --> 00:27:09.804
  • The power of god's word to transform your life.
  • 00:27:09.804 --> 00:27:13.441
  • The bible says of itself it's alive and powerful and sharper
  • 00:27:13.441 --> 00:27:18.279
  • Than any two-edged sword, so i hope you'll take your phone
  • 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.183
  • Right now and join us online at harvest discipleship.
  • 00:27:22.183 --> 00:27:26.488
  • Let's learn and grow together.
  • 00:27:26.488 --> 00:27:28.957
