Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Christianity Is Not A Religion, It's A Relationship | November 6, 2025
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:09.828
  • Joseph prince: christianity is not a religion.
  • 00:00:11.964 --> 00:00:14.900
  • It is god reaching out to man.
  • 00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:17.035
  • The true christian life starts with, is predicated on,
  • 00:00:17.035 --> 00:00:22.508
  • "it is finished."
  • 00:00:22.508 --> 00:00:24.943
  • You are complete in christ, it's finished.
  • 00:00:24.943 --> 00:00:27.579
  • Your sins are forgiven past, present and future.
  • 00:00:27.579 --> 00:00:29.481
  • You are the righteousness of god in christ, amen?
  • 00:00:29.481 --> 00:00:33.152
  • Now you should possess the peace.
  • 00:00:33.152 --> 00:00:35.687
  • He says peace be with you.
  • 00:00:35.687 --> 00:00:37.356
  • Receive it.
  • 00:00:37.356 --> 00:00:38.824
  • Therefore being made righteous with god, we have peace.
  • 00:00:38.824 --> 00:00:44.429
  • Therefore being justified by faith,
  • 00:00:44.429 --> 00:00:46.198
  • We have peace with god, okay?
  • 00:00:46.198 --> 00:00:50.202
  • Possess it.
  • 00:00:50.202 --> 00:00:51.537
  • We still have thinking like, the more i tell people who i am,
  • 00:00:51.537 --> 00:00:54.673
  • What i've done, i'll be great.
  • 00:00:54.673 --> 00:00:57.543
  • Jesus says the more you serve, the greater you'll be.
  • 00:00:57.543 --> 00:01:00.412
  • It's all upside down.
  • 00:01:00.412 --> 00:01:01.880
  • Every disappointment comes when you compare yourself
  • 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:03.448
  • With somebody else.
  • 00:01:03.448 --> 00:01:04.783
  • This is the sequence.
  • 00:01:04.783 --> 00:01:06.118
  • It starts with, "it is finished."
  • 00:01:06.118 --> 00:01:07.686
  • Announcer: are you praying for a second chance,
  • 00:01:07.753 --> 00:01:09.321
  • Maybe a third or even a fourth?
  • 00:01:09.321 --> 00:01:11.390
  • In today's message, joseph prince takes you
  • 00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:13.325
  • Into the scriptures and unveils
  • 00:01:13.325 --> 00:01:15.060
  • A god who didn't come to just fix your past mistakes.
  • 00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:18.230
  • He came to set you free from every mistake:
  • 00:01:18.230 --> 00:01:20.966
  • Past, present, and future.
  • 00:01:20.966 --> 00:01:23.602
  • Grace, it's not about getting a second chance to try harder.
  • 00:01:23.602 --> 00:01:27.272
  • It's a brand new way to live, the new covenant way.
  • 00:01:27.272 --> 00:01:30.943
  • In his book, "glorious grace," joseph reveals how we don't have
  • 00:01:30.943 --> 00:01:34.046
  • To strive to earn god's love or live in fear of his judgment.
  • 00:01:34.046 --> 00:01:37.749
  • Instead, we can live in the freedom
  • 00:01:37.749 --> 00:01:39.451
  • That jesus paid for at the cross.

  • Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:14.386 --> 00:02:16.521
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:16.521 --> 00:02:17.990
  • Joseph prince: without the shedding of blood,
  • 00:02:17.990 --> 00:02:19.458
  • The bible says in hebrews, there is no forgiveness
  • 00:02:19.458 --> 00:02:23.362
  • Or remission of sins.
  • 00:02:23.362 --> 00:02:25.797
  • Without the shedding of blood.
  • 00:02:25.797 --> 00:02:27.666
  • It cannot just be blood.
  • 00:02:27.666 --> 00:02:29.401
  • It's gotta be holy blood, blameless blood, sinless blood.
  • 00:02:29.401 --> 00:02:36.074
  • Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:02:36.074 --> 00:02:39.544
  • And then we see the gospel story of how god sent his son.
  • 00:02:39.544 --> 00:02:43.215
  • God could have sent jesus stepping out of a cave,
  • 00:02:43.215 --> 00:02:45.384
  • A full-grown man.
  • 00:02:45.384 --> 00:02:46.918
  • But then, that would not minister to our comfort
  • 00:02:46.918 --> 00:02:52.791
  • Because we will think of him as a being from heaven,
  • 00:02:52.791 --> 00:02:57.362
  • But he doesn't understand me as a man.
  • 00:02:57.362 --> 00:03:00.132
  • So jesus came to go through all the gamut of human emotions,
  • 00:03:00.132 --> 00:03:04.703
  • To go through all the experiences of a child,
  • 00:03:04.703 --> 00:03:09.141
  • A toddler-- a baby, a toddler,
  • 00:03:09.141 --> 00:03:13.278
  • Childhood, teenager, and in growth, manhood.
  • 00:03:13.278 --> 00:03:19.351
  • The bible tells us he went through it all.
  • 00:03:19.351 --> 00:03:22.754
  • He went through it all as a man.
  • 00:03:22.754 --> 00:03:25.324
  • But he's not just man.
  • 00:03:25.324 --> 00:03:27.092
  • He was born of a virgin
  • 00:03:27.092 --> 00:03:28.660
  • And i've shared during christmas time
  • 00:03:28.660 --> 00:03:30.329
  • How that the necessity for the virgin birth,
  • 00:03:30.329 --> 00:03:32.898
  • The science have discovered that the mother's blood
  • 00:03:32.898 --> 00:03:36.635
  • Does not go into the baby through the placenta.
  • 00:03:36.635 --> 00:03:38.904
  • Once science taught that that was so
  • 00:03:38.904 --> 00:03:41.540
  • But now it's proven beyond the shadow of any doubt
  • 00:03:41.540 --> 00:03:44.376
  • That the mother does not give blood to the baby.
  • 00:03:44.376 --> 00:03:47.379
  • Why is that important?
  • 00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:48.714
  • Because mary's blood has sin.
  • 00:03:48.714 --> 00:03:52.584
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:03:52.584 --> 00:03:54.753
  • All right, so now it's proven that the placenta
  • 00:03:54.753 --> 00:03:57.089
  • Takes away the waste of the baby
  • 00:03:57.089 --> 00:03:59.758
  • And gives food to the baby, amen.
  • 00:03:59.758 --> 00:04:03.161
  • The blood is determined by his father in heaven, amen.
  • 00:04:03.161 --> 00:04:08.834
  • Nonetheless, i'm sure that jesus's bodily characteristics
  • 00:04:08.834 --> 00:04:13.004
  • Looks a lot like his mother mary, amen.
  • 00:04:13.004 --> 00:04:15.674
  • But remember this, the bible says
  • 00:04:15.674 --> 00:04:17.309
  • That mary is favored among-- when the angel appeared to her,
  • 00:04:17.309 --> 00:04:20.212
  • It says you are favored among, not above, women.
  • 00:04:20.212 --> 00:04:24.349
  • And that's one reason why at the cross, jesus called her "woman."
  • 00:04:24.349 --> 00:04:27.386
  • It's a respectful term, it's like "my lady."
  • 00:04:27.386 --> 00:04:29.354
  • He never called her "mother."
  • 00:04:29.354 --> 00:04:31.590
  • In fact, you have no account he called her mother.
  • 00:04:31.590 --> 00:04:34.493
  • He always addressed her kindly though,
  • 00:04:34.493 --> 00:04:37.329
  • With the phrase, like among,
  • 00:04:37.329 --> 00:04:40.265
  • The english, you know, aristocracy,
  • 00:04:40.265 --> 00:04:42.634
  • They would say, m'lady, it's the same term.
  • 00:04:42.634 --> 00:04:45.370
  • He never called her mother, very interesting.
  • 00:04:45.370 --> 00:04:48.106
  • So jesus came through a virgin, a highly favored virgin.
  • 00:04:48.106 --> 00:04:52.878
  • He was born without sin in his blood.
  • 00:04:52.878 --> 00:04:55.814
  • And what's the purpose of having blood?
  • 00:04:55.814 --> 00:04:57.916
  • Without the shedding of blood, come on.
  • 00:04:57.916 --> 00:04:59.718
  • There is no forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:04:59.718 --> 00:05:01.653
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:05:01.653 --> 00:05:02.988
  • So let's follow this right now in romans 5:17,
  • 00:05:02.988 --> 00:05:05.090
  • My favorite verse, all right, besides john 1:17.
  • 00:05:05.090 --> 00:05:08.593
  • Mine has a lot of 17, my favorite verse.
  • 00:05:08.593 --> 00:05:10.962
  • Look at this: "for if by one man's offense,"
  • 00:05:10.962 --> 00:05:13.265
  • We all know that one man is adam.
  • 00:05:13.265 --> 00:05:17.002
  • "by one man's offense death reigned through the one."
  • 00:05:17.002 --> 00:05:20.839
  • So by one man's offense death reigned through the one.
  • 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.911
  • The word "reign" is total, it's empirical,
  • 00:05:25.911 --> 00:05:28.713
  • It is a rule that no one can escape.
  • 00:05:28.713 --> 00:05:31.450
  • You climb the highest mountain, you swim in the deepest ocean,
  • 00:05:31.450 --> 00:05:34.519
  • Death will still find you ultimately.
  • 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.289
  • And all because of adam's sin, amen?
  • 00:05:37.289 --> 00:05:41.059
  • Everything is wrapped up in adam's sin.
  • 00:05:41.059 --> 00:05:43.328
  • Some people are not happy about that.
  • 00:05:43.328 --> 00:05:44.663
  • They say, "why should i suffer for adam's sin?"
  • 00:05:44.663 --> 00:05:46.364
  • It's the same thing.
  • 00:05:46.364 --> 00:05:47.699
  • If your grandfather died when he was three years old,
  • 00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:49.768
  • You wouldn't be here.
  • 00:05:49.768 --> 00:05:52.037
  • Some people have to stop and think about that.
  • 00:05:52.037 --> 00:05:54.806
  • There's no need to think about it.
  • 00:05:54.806 --> 00:05:56.141
  • If your grandfather died,
  • 00:05:56.141 --> 00:05:57.476
  • Your grandfather died when he was three years old.
  • 00:05:57.476 --> 00:05:58.810
  • You wouldn't be here today.
  • 00:05:58.810 --> 00:06:00.145
  • There's no mystery.
  • 00:06:00.145 --> 00:06:01.847
  • Our lives are intricately linked with our forefathers
  • 00:06:01.847 --> 00:06:04.950
  • That have gone on before, all right?
  • 00:06:04.950 --> 00:06:07.419
  • F-o-r-e, forefathers, not your four fathers, okay?
  • 00:06:07.419 --> 00:06:11.056
  • So "through one man's offense death reigned
  • 00:06:11.056 --> 00:06:12.757
  • Through the one, much more!"
  • 00:06:12.757 --> 00:06:14.493
  • Everybody shout, "much more."
  • 00:06:14.493 --> 00:06:16.895
  • "much more those who receive abundance,"
  • 00:06:16.895 --> 00:06:19.931
  • Hey, hey, those who receive, new creation church.
  • 00:06:19.931 --> 00:06:23.768
  • Those who receive, and this word "receive"
  • 00:06:23.768 --> 00:06:25.871
  • Is not just receive one time in the greek.
  • 00:06:25.871 --> 00:06:28.006
  • It is a continuous receiving, a continual consciousness,
  • 00:06:28.006 --> 00:06:32.777
  • A continual preaching, a continual appropriating,
  • 00:06:32.777 --> 00:06:36.681
  • A continual walking in it.
  • 00:06:36.681 --> 00:06:38.817
  • In the greek, it is present continuous.
  • 00:06:38.817 --> 00:06:40.719
  • All right, "those who receive, constantly receive,
  • 00:06:40.719 --> 00:06:43.021
  • Abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
  • 00:06:43.021 --> 00:06:49.661
  • Will reign in life through the one, jesus christ,"
  • 00:06:49.661 --> 00:06:54.599
  • Wow, what a deal.
  • 00:06:54.599 --> 00:06:55.934
  • And i still think many of you have memorized this verse,
  • 00:06:55.934 --> 00:06:58.870
  • But i don't think we really have meditated through this verse.
  • 00:06:58.870 --> 00:07:03.475
  • Number one, even if we receive abundance of grace
  • 00:07:03.475 --> 00:07:06.811
  • And the gift of righteousness,
  • 00:07:06.811 --> 00:07:08.580
  • Many of us don't see the reigning in life.
  • 00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:10.582
  • We understand it, but we are not seeing the reigning.
  • 00:07:10.582 --> 00:07:12.651
  • If you are not seeing the reigning,
  • 00:07:12.651 --> 00:07:13.985
  • You're not receiving the abundance of grace.
  • 00:07:13.985 --> 00:07:16.388
  • You're not receiving the gift of righteousness.
  • 00:07:16.388 --> 00:07:18.990
  • And after you reign, just remember this,
  • 00:07:18.990 --> 00:07:21.159
  • It's not just reigning in life, it's much more.
  • 00:07:21.159 --> 00:07:24.296
  • "much more those who receive."
  • 00:07:24.296 --> 00:07:26.598
  • It's a much more reigning.
  • 00:07:26.598 --> 00:07:28.466
  • So we got to keep on pounding this home
  • 00:07:28.466 --> 00:07:30.168
  • Because there are voices out there and many of times
  • 00:07:30.168 --> 00:07:33.371
  • It's behind the pulpit, unfortunately.
  • 00:07:33.371 --> 00:07:35.740
  • Just like during jesus's time,
  • 00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:37.275
  • The people that bind heavy burdens
  • 00:07:37.275 --> 00:07:39.311
  • On the common people were actually
  • 00:07:39.311 --> 00:07:41.046
  • The religious leaders of jesus's day.
  • 00:07:41.046 --> 00:07:44.082
  • They would say things and preach things that cause
  • 00:07:44.082 --> 00:07:46.251
  • And bind heavy burdens and jesus rebuked them.
  • 00:07:46.251 --> 00:07:48.954
  • Jesus says you bind heavy burdens on people
  • 00:07:48.954 --> 00:07:50.989
  • And you refuse to even lift a finger to help them.
  • 00:07:50.989 --> 00:07:55.493
  • Jesus says, "woe to you."
  • 00:07:55.493 --> 00:07:57.395
  • And then jesus look at these people and says,
  • 00:07:57.395 --> 00:07:58.730
  • "come unto me all you that labor and are heavy laden,
  • 00:07:58.730 --> 00:08:02.567
  • And i will give you rest," amen?
  • 00:08:02.567 --> 00:08:07.472
  • Christianity is not a religion.
  • 00:08:07.472 --> 00:08:10.542
  • It is god reaching out to man.
  • 00:08:10.542 --> 00:08:12.944
  • Are you with me?
  • 00:08:12.944 --> 00:08:14.346
  • All right, so we gotta have this understanding.
  • 00:08:14.346 --> 00:08:17.916
  • These twin gifts, i call them, abundance of grace,
  • 00:08:17.916 --> 00:08:21.219
  • Can only come when people hear abundance of preaching of grace.
  • 00:08:21.219 --> 00:08:26.291
  • So the devil will come and tell you,
  • 00:08:26.291 --> 00:08:27.626
  • You cannot be talking about grace all the time.
  • 00:08:27.626 --> 00:08:30.395
  • You cannot be preaching about grace all the time.
  • 00:08:30.395 --> 00:08:32.631
  • There is too much
  • 00:08:32.631 --> 00:08:34.065
  • Or an abundance of grace teaching nowadays.
  • 00:08:34.065 --> 00:08:36.935
  • They're complaining about that.
  • 00:08:36.935 --> 00:08:39.437
  • There are people who complain that i use the phrase
  • 00:08:39.437 --> 00:08:41.606
  • "finished work" too often.
  • 00:08:41.606 --> 00:08:44.643
  • Be careful of voices like that because, you know,
  • 00:08:44.643 --> 00:08:47.245
  • I don't care who that man or woman is,
  • 00:08:47.245 --> 00:08:49.047
  • Behind that is the devil stopping you
  • 00:08:49.047 --> 00:08:51.583
  • From constantly receiving the abundance of grace
  • 00:08:51.583 --> 00:08:54.152
  • And the gift of righteousness.
  • 00:08:54.152 --> 00:08:56.021
  • And what's his purpose?
  • 00:08:56.021 --> 00:08:57.355
  • He doesn't want you to reign.
  • 00:08:57.355 --> 00:08:58.690
  • Because when you reign in life, he doesn't.
  • 00:08:58.690 --> 00:09:01.059
  • When you reign in life, your addictions don't.
  • 00:09:01.059 --> 00:09:04.295
  • When you reign, somebody is not reigning.
  • 00:09:04.295 --> 00:09:08.166
  • That's the devil.
  • 00:09:08.166 --> 00:09:09.501
  • You understand?
  • 00:09:09.501 --> 00:09:10.835
  • So there are christians today who are christians,
  • 00:09:10.835 --> 00:09:13.038
  • They are saved, but they don't understand abundance of grace.
  • 00:09:13.038 --> 00:09:15.206
  • They hear something about grace, they say, be careful.
  • 00:09:15.206 --> 00:09:17.475
  • How to talk about abundance?
  • 00:09:17.475 --> 00:09:20.578
  • And then the idea of right standing with god
  • 00:09:20.578 --> 00:09:23.348
  • Is the reward of righteousness.
  • 00:09:23.348 --> 00:09:26.184
  • By doing some things, you will have righteousness.
  • 00:09:26.184 --> 00:09:29.654
  • But the bible says it's the gift.
  • 00:09:29.654 --> 00:09:31.489
  • This is a wonderful testimony that just came in:
  • 00:09:31.489 --> 00:09:33.024
  • "i was born in a christian family."
  • 00:09:33.024 --> 00:09:35.026
  • This is local, this testimony.
  • 00:09:35.026 --> 00:09:37.595
  • "and i grew up thinking that god is an angry god.
  • 00:09:37.595 --> 00:09:39.731
  • Since young, i was afraid of failing
  • 00:09:39.731 --> 00:09:41.299
  • Because i didn't want to anger god.
  • 00:09:41.299 --> 00:09:43.401
  • So i started confessing every wrong deed i had done.
  • 00:09:43.401 --> 00:09:46.905
  • Finally i told myself that i would do
  • 00:09:46.905 --> 00:09:48.640
  • What i wanted to do first and later come back to god."
  • 00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:52.277
  • Many of us have the same reasoning, isn't it?
  • 00:09:52.277 --> 00:09:54.312
  • "slowly i was led astray.
  • 00:09:54.312 --> 00:09:56.548
  • My life became very bitter.
  • 00:09:56.548 --> 00:09:58.583
  • I indulged in all kinds of sin, smoking, drinking,
  • 00:09:58.583 --> 00:10:01.820
  • And so many other stuff.
  • 00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:03.221
  • Day by day, i knew my life was sinking
  • 00:10:03.221 --> 00:10:04.923
  • And i was a total failure.
  • 00:10:04.923 --> 00:10:06.758
  • I didn't have a proper job and i was like a posh beggar.
  • 00:10:06.758 --> 00:10:10.495
  • Even when i was hungry and had money in my pocket,
  • 00:10:10.495 --> 00:10:12.530
  • I would choose cigarettes over food.
  • 00:10:12.530 --> 00:10:15.800
  • I felt very condemned by my actions
  • 00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:18.136
  • And decided to give my life to the devil,
  • 00:10:18.136 --> 00:10:20.605
  • Thinking that he would give me whatever i wished for
  • 00:10:20.605 --> 00:10:22.574
  • In this world for free.
  • 00:10:22.574 --> 00:10:24.909
  • Soon i came under an attack.
  • 00:10:24.909 --> 00:10:26.878
  • My mind started to go haywire.
  • 00:10:26.878 --> 00:10:28.980
  • One day i got overdosed on drugs and my limbs started twisting
  • 00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:32.751
  • By themselves and my heart started beating very slowly.
  • 00:10:32.751 --> 00:10:36.821
  • I thought i was going to die that day,
  • 00:10:36.821 --> 00:10:38.923
  • But somehow jesus saved me.
  • 00:10:38.923 --> 00:10:41.359
  • A year later i came to the end of myself.
  • 00:10:41.359 --> 00:10:43.728
  • I wanted to come back to jesus but i did not know how.
  • 00:10:43.728 --> 00:10:46.397
  • In june, i came across pastor prince's sermon
  • 00:10:46.397 --> 00:10:49.167
  • And that was the first time i learned
  • 00:10:49.167 --> 00:10:50.702
  • That i am the righteousness of god in christ jesus.
  • 00:10:50.702 --> 00:10:55.273
  • Since then i took hold of that truth."
  • 00:10:55.273 --> 00:10:58.343
  • It's important you take hold.
  • 00:10:58.343 --> 00:10:59.911
  • The bible says those that receive abundance of grace
  • 00:10:59.911 --> 00:11:02.781
  • And the gift, and the word "receive" there
  • 00:11:02.781 --> 00:11:04.716
  • Is active in the greek.
  • 00:11:04.716 --> 00:11:06.050
  • Active, not passive.
  • 00:11:06.050 --> 00:11:07.919
  • "since then i took hold of that truth as my armor
  • 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.655
  • Against my bad habits.
  • 00:11:10.655 --> 00:11:12.657
  • Whenever i smoke," listen to this,
  • 00:11:12.657 --> 00:11:15.794
  • Here's where the rubber meets the road.
  • 00:11:15.794 --> 00:11:17.495
  • "whenever i smoke," he still smoke.
  • 00:11:17.495 --> 00:11:19.430
  • Pastors, leaders, stop thinking,
  • 00:11:19.430 --> 00:11:20.932
  • "well, you're giving people license to sin."
  • 00:11:20.932 --> 00:11:22.433
  • People will still do things behind your back.
  • 00:11:22.433 --> 00:11:25.303
  • We are telling people how to get out.
  • 00:11:25.303 --> 00:11:27.572
  • He says this: "whenever i smoke from then on
  • 00:11:27.572 --> 00:11:30.608
  • I started confessing that i am righteous in christ,
  • 00:11:30.608 --> 00:11:34.412
  • And cigarettes have no power over me."
  • 00:11:34.412 --> 00:11:37.482
  • This what has been taught to all these porn addicts,
  • 00:11:37.482 --> 00:11:40.919
  • To all these drug addicts,
  • 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.587
  • To all these people bound in addictions.
  • 00:11:42.587 --> 00:11:44.088
  • In the book, "the power of right believing,"
  • 00:11:44.088 --> 00:11:45.490
  • We have so many testimonies
  • 00:11:45.490 --> 00:11:46.825
  • And they are still coming in of people set free.
  • 00:11:46.825 --> 00:11:50.562
  • The last thing you wanna do when you're watching porn is to say,
  • 00:11:50.562 --> 00:11:52.931
  • "i am the righteousness of god in christ."
  • 00:11:52.931 --> 00:11:55.633
  • The devil will scream, "hypocrite!"
  • 00:11:55.633 --> 00:11:57.702
  • But you know what?
  • 00:11:57.702 --> 00:11:59.037
  • If you confess that, you'll come out of that.
  • 00:11:59.037 --> 00:12:02.240
  • You will reign over that.
  • 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.309
  • You'll stop looking at women as objects and see them as persons
  • 00:12:04.309 --> 00:12:10.048
  • And honor them and have a sense of dignity in life.
  • 00:12:10.048 --> 00:12:14.419
  • If you treat people like objects,
  • 00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:15.887
  • You end up feeling like an object.
  • 00:12:15.887 --> 00:12:19.157
  • "i started confessing that i'm righteous in christ
  • 00:12:19.157 --> 00:12:21.259
  • And secrets have no power over me.
  • 00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:22.961
  • Within two weeks, all my bad habits left me."
  • 00:12:22.961 --> 00:12:27.332
  • We are hearing so much, i mean so many testimonies
  • 00:12:27.332 --> 00:12:29.901
  • Now of this reality,
  • 00:12:29.901 --> 00:12:34.572
  • But what do people do when they sin?
  • 00:12:34.572 --> 00:12:38.076
  • They groan, they moan, if they go to god
  • 00:12:38.076 --> 00:12:39.544
  • They keep on confessing, "god, i'm a sinner, god.
  • 00:12:39.544 --> 00:12:41.746
  • I'm not worthy, god, god, forgive me."
  • 00:12:41.746 --> 00:12:44.215
  • Like, asking god to forgive them
  • 00:12:44.215 --> 00:12:45.617
  • Like god is not willing to forgive them,
  • 00:12:45.617 --> 00:12:47.819
  • Instead of confessing.
  • 00:12:47.819 --> 00:12:49.921
  • Because if it's a gift of righteousness,
  • 00:12:49.921 --> 00:12:52.924
  • Nothing you do earn you that gift in the first place.
  • 00:12:52.924 --> 00:12:55.860
  • It's what jesus has done.
  • 00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:57.495
  • Therefore, nothing you do can cause you to forfeit the gift.
  • 00:12:57.495 --> 00:13:00.832
  • It's what jesus has done.
  • 00:13:00.832 --> 00:13:02.867
  • If what you do can forfeit the gift,
  • 00:13:02.867 --> 00:13:05.536
  • Hey, what you do as a sinner
  • 00:13:05.536 --> 00:13:07.171
  • Cannot even forfeit the fact you're a sinner.
  • 00:13:07.171 --> 00:13:09.607
  • What the first adam did is so powerful
  • 00:13:09.607 --> 00:13:11.709
  • That you cannot forfeit it by doing right.
  • 00:13:11.709 --> 00:13:16.214
  • You're still a sinner.
  • 00:13:16.214 --> 00:13:18.283
  • So for us to make jesus like when someone sins,
  • 00:13:18.283 --> 00:13:20.818
  • They're no more righteous, they lose the gift,
  • 00:13:20.818 --> 00:13:22.887
  • It's actually to put the first adam higher
  • 00:13:22.887 --> 00:13:25.256
  • Than the second adam, our lord jesus,
  • 00:13:25.256 --> 00:13:28.159
  • Who is much more.
  • 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.829
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:13:31.829 --> 00:13:33.598
  • Okay, let me finish this.
  • 00:13:33.598 --> 00:13:35.500
  • All right, "today i reign over them--within two weeks,
  • 00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:39.737
  • All my bad habits left me.
  • 00:13:39.737 --> 00:13:41.072
  • Today i reign over them.
  • 00:13:41.072 --> 00:13:42.407
  • It has been almost two years now and the work of god in my life
  • 00:13:42.407 --> 00:13:45.343
  • Continues to amaze everyone around me.
  • 00:13:45.343 --> 00:13:47.545
  • God has also been opening doors for me to preach
  • 00:13:47.545 --> 00:13:49.781
  • The good news in sri lanka.
  • 00:13:49.781 --> 00:13:52.183
  • I thank and praise my lord jesus christ
  • 00:13:52.183 --> 00:13:54.052
  • For delivering me and saving me.
  • 00:13:54.052 --> 00:13:55.520
  • Pastor prince, i also thank god for you
  • 00:13:55.520 --> 00:13:56.921
  • Because you have unveiled the beauty
  • 00:13:56.921 --> 00:13:58.289
  • And the loveliness of jesus christ
  • 00:13:58.289 --> 00:13:59.891
  • Unto men like me."
  • 00:13:59.891 --> 00:14:02.427
  • Now if you look at what's been shared,
  • 00:14:02.427 --> 00:14:06.064
  • The turning point happened when she started confessing,
  • 00:14:06.064 --> 00:14:08.099
  • "i am the righteousness of god in christ."
  • 00:14:08.099 --> 00:14:11.102
  • You see, many of you, when you become a child of god,
  • 00:14:11.102 --> 00:14:13.938
  • You are now a child of god.
  • 00:14:13.938 --> 00:14:15.840
  • God is no more just god.
  • 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.542
  • God is now your father.
  • 00:14:17.542 --> 00:14:19.277
  • And that's why it's important to be obedient to the spirit
  • 00:14:19.277 --> 00:14:22.213
  • Of the new covenant,
  • 00:14:22.213 --> 00:14:23.548
  • Which is now you are a son, you are a child of god,
  • 00:14:23.548 --> 00:14:27.585
  • Never call yourself a sinner anymore.
  • 00:14:27.585 --> 00:14:29.687
  • There are people who say, "i am a sinner saved by grace."
  • 00:14:29.687 --> 00:14:31.723
  • I am is present tense in english, we all know that.
  • 00:14:31.723 --> 00:14:34.459
  • I'm still a sinner saved by grace.
  • 00:14:34.459 --> 00:14:36.327
  • No, you were a sinner saved by grace, but now,
  • 00:14:36.327 --> 00:14:39.297
  • I'm not saying you're free from sin,
  • 00:14:39.297 --> 00:14:40.999
  • But your actions don't dictate your identity
  • 00:14:40.999 --> 00:14:42.967
  • In christ, amen.
  • 00:14:42.967 --> 00:14:45.570
  • Any more than you did something good when you were a sinner
  • 00:14:45.570 --> 00:14:48.139
  • Last time, doesn't make you good.
  • 00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:50.742
  • Just because you have time that you did good,
  • 00:14:50.742 --> 00:14:53.311
  • Doesn't make you good.
  • 00:14:53.311 --> 00:14:54.779
  • You're still a sinner.
  • 00:14:54.779 --> 00:14:56.214
  • So likewise, now you're a born-again believer,
  • 00:14:56.214 --> 00:14:57.815
  • Church, listen.
  • 00:14:57.815 --> 00:14:59.283
  • Whatever you do, listen.
  • 00:14:59.283 --> 00:15:01.419
  • There are consequences to what you do.
  • 00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:03.755
  • You can hurt people, you can hurt your future,
  • 00:15:03.755 --> 00:15:05.423
  • You can hurt your loved ones, you can hurt your body,
  • 00:15:05.423 --> 00:15:07.859
  • You can hurt your mind.
  • 00:15:07.859 --> 00:15:09.327
  • Sin is dangerous.
  • 00:15:09.327 --> 00:15:11.429
  • But how to overcome sin?
  • 00:15:11.429 --> 00:15:12.764
  • I am for holiness.
  • 00:15:12.764 --> 00:15:14.165
  • But where many people differ from what i'm sharing is this:
  • 00:15:14.165 --> 00:15:18.002
  • Their idea and my idea of how to get there,
  • 00:15:18.002 --> 00:15:20.872
  • How to get their holiness from here,
  • 00:15:20.872 --> 00:15:23.408
  • They are saying you've got to have the law.
  • 00:15:23.408 --> 00:15:24.976
  • I'm saying it's by grace.
  • 00:15:24.976 --> 00:15:27.145
  • It's only by grace, amen, church?
  • 00:15:27.145 --> 00:15:30.815
  • I'm gonna show you something very, very, very powerful, okay?
  • 00:15:30.815 --> 00:15:33.951
  • Look at colossians.
  • 00:15:33.951 --> 00:15:35.286
  • In the book of colossians, it says this: "in christ."
  • 00:15:35.286 --> 00:15:38.423
  • Here, the context refers to christ.
  • 00:15:38.423 --> 00:15:40.258
  • "in christ dwells all the fullness of the godhead bodily."
  • 00:15:40.258 --> 00:15:47.899
  • Bodily, whoa!
  • 00:15:47.899 --> 00:15:53.538
  • "in christ dwells all the fullness
  • 00:15:53.538 --> 00:15:55.973
  • Of the triune god bodily," in human form.
  • 00:15:55.973 --> 00:16:01.145
  • In john 19 is a story of the cross, right?
  • 00:16:01.145 --> 00:16:07.351
  • What did jesus cry at the cross towards the end?
  • 00:16:07.351 --> 00:16:10.855
  • "it is finished," all right?
  • 00:16:10.855 --> 00:16:14.158
  • It is finished.
  • 00:16:14.158 --> 00:16:15.660
  • John 19, verse 30: "he cried, 'it is finished.'"
  • 00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:17.428
  • Am i right?
  • 00:16:17.428 --> 00:16:19.430
  • That's where it all starts.
  • 00:16:19.430 --> 00:16:21.866
  • Where he cried "finish," we start.
  • 00:16:21.866 --> 00:16:25.570
  • We start our christian life with the finished work.
  • 00:16:25.570 --> 00:16:30.475
  • When jesus says it is finished, what is finished?
  • 00:16:30.475 --> 00:16:33.444
  • The cup that he prayed in the garden of gethsemane,
  • 00:16:33.444 --> 00:16:36.814
  • Full of our sin, full of our curse,
  • 00:16:36.814 --> 00:16:39.383
  • Full of our judgment, he drained.
  • 00:16:39.383 --> 00:16:42.120
  • He drank it, he drained it dry, these very last dregs.
  • 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:47.692
  • Finished, the judgment is gone.
  • 00:16:47.692 --> 00:16:49.160
  • There's no more judgment for you and me.
  • 00:16:49.160 --> 00:16:52.063
  • What about god's law?
  • 00:16:52.063 --> 00:16:53.598
  • Satisfied.
  • 00:16:53.598 --> 00:16:58.369
  • What about god's holiness?
  • 00:16:58.369 --> 00:17:02.707
  • Magnified!
  • 00:17:02.707 --> 00:17:05.209
  • Because god's holiness says, if you sin, you die.
  • 00:17:05.209 --> 00:17:08.813
  • Somebody died.
  • 00:17:08.813 --> 00:17:10.348
  • God did not say, "okay, never mind,
  • 00:17:10.348 --> 00:17:11.949
  • I'll compromise my holiness."
  • 00:17:11.949 --> 00:17:13.284
  • No, jesus died in our place.
  • 00:17:13.284 --> 00:17:15.887
  • God's holiness is magnified.
  • 00:17:15.887 --> 00:17:18.289
  • God's love expressed for men, for sinful men.
  • 00:17:18.289 --> 00:17:24.328
  • It's finished.
  • 00:17:24.328 --> 00:17:27.765
  • His first words recorded in the bible when he was 12 years old
  • 00:17:27.765 --> 00:17:30.168
  • Was this: "didn't you know," he told his father and mother.
  • 00:17:30.168 --> 00:17:33.771
  • "didn't you know i must be about my father's business?"
  • 00:17:33.771 --> 00:17:36.874
  • His first recorded words.
  • 00:17:36.874 --> 00:17:39.310
  • His last word was "finished" in the gospel of john.
  • 00:17:39.310 --> 00:17:45.149
  • His earthly life.
  • 00:17:45.149 --> 00:17:46.784
  • What was finished?
  • 00:17:46.784 --> 00:17:48.119
  • The father's business.
  • 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:49.554
  • To have our sins forgiven righteously
  • 00:17:49.554 --> 00:17:51.389
  • On a judicial foundation.
  • 00:17:51.389 --> 00:17:54.892
  • Then, this is john 19, right?
  • 00:17:54.892 --> 00:17:57.461
  • Then he rose from the dead on the third day.
  • 00:17:57.461 --> 00:18:00.965
  • The disciples were afraid. they were in the upper room.
  • 00:18:00.965 --> 00:18:03.501
  • They were hiding behind closed doors.
  • 00:18:03.501 --> 00:18:05.169
  • Jesus appeared.
  • 00:18:05.169 --> 00:18:06.938
  • And by the way, he's not a ghost.
  • 00:18:06.938 --> 00:18:08.339
  • He told one of them to touch him, flesh and bones.
  • 00:18:08.339 --> 00:18:14.912
  • That's the kind of body you and i will have.
  • 00:18:14.912 --> 00:18:17.448
  • And it's flesh and bones, yet it can transcend time and matter.
  • 00:18:17.448 --> 00:18:22.720
  • You can't understand everything now because we are so confined
  • 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:24.522
  • In this world, but in the world to come, and the body
  • 00:18:24.522 --> 00:18:26.657
  • You're going to have, it's a body that's physical.
  • 00:18:26.657 --> 00:18:29.927
  • You and i can shake hands yet, we'll transcend time and matter.
  • 00:18:29.927 --> 00:18:33.698
  • And that's why when the rapture happens, he transforms us first
  • 00:18:33.698 --> 00:18:36.100
  • Before he raptures us.
  • 00:18:36.100 --> 00:18:37.435
  • Because in our new body, two things:
  • 00:18:37.435 --> 00:18:38.836
  • You can transcend matter, even though you're in a cinema,
  • 00:18:38.836 --> 00:18:42.406
  • Even though you're the star.
  • 00:18:42.406 --> 00:18:44.508
  • Many of us can't take the height in our old body.
  • 00:18:44.508 --> 00:18:47.345
  • We are afraid of heights.
  • 00:18:47.345 --> 00:18:48.679
  • So he changes a new body where there is no fear.
  • 00:18:48.679 --> 00:18:51.983
  • I think so at the last part.
  • 00:18:51.983 --> 00:18:53.684
  • Okay, so, when he rose from the dead after it is finished,
  • 00:18:53.684 --> 00:18:59.523
  • He meets them and he shows them his wounds,
  • 00:18:59.523 --> 00:19:02.560
  • Which is the righteous foundation for him to say this:
  • 00:19:02.560 --> 00:19:04.929
  • "peace be unto you."
  • 00:19:04.929 --> 00:19:08.099
  • So peace be with you comes next.
  • 00:19:08.099 --> 00:19:10.134
  • John 20, that's john 19, it is finished.
  • 00:19:10.134 --> 00:19:12.436
  • John 20, in the next chapter, "peace be with you," huh?
  • 00:19:12.436 --> 00:19:18.943
  • Peace is founded on the finished work.
  • 00:19:18.943 --> 00:19:22.680
  • And then the next chapter, we are going to john 21 now.
  • 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.583
  • One week after he rose from the dead,
  • 00:19:25.583 --> 00:19:27.251
  • He was walking by the lake of galilee.
  • 00:19:27.251 --> 00:19:28.786
  • The fishermen, his disciples,
  • 00:19:28.786 --> 00:19:30.254
  • Were fishing in the lake of galilee.
  • 00:19:30.254 --> 00:19:32.723
  • You all know the story.
  • 00:19:32.723 --> 00:19:34.125
  • He made breakfast for them.
  • 00:19:34.125 --> 00:19:36.227
  • After he finished breakfast with them, he asked this question:
  • 00:19:36.227 --> 00:19:39.830
  • Do you love me? do you love me?
  • 00:19:39.830 --> 00:19:42.133
  • Next chapter, john 21.
  • 00:19:42.133 --> 00:19:43.868
  • Look at the sequence.
  • 00:19:43.868 --> 00:19:45.236
  • Do you love me?
  • 00:19:45.236 --> 00:19:46.971
  • Comes after it is finished.
  • 00:19:46.971 --> 00:19:48.973
  • Peace comes based on the finished work.
  • 00:19:48.973 --> 00:19:51.575
  • Then he asks, "do you love me?"
  • 00:19:51.575 --> 00:19:53.277
  • I'm going in order, people.
  • 00:19:55.012 --> 00:19:56.514
  • The order of the holy spirit.
  • 00:19:56.514 --> 00:20:00.017
  • And at the end of that chapter 21,
  • 00:20:00.017 --> 00:20:03.421
  • He looked at peter and say,
  • 00:20:03.421 --> 00:20:05.756
  • "you follow me. you follow me."
  • 00:20:05.756 --> 00:20:11.629
  • You got it?
  • 00:20:11.629 --> 00:20:13.130
  • Now, the true christian life starts with, is predicated on,
  • 00:20:13.130 --> 00:20:19.704
  • "it is finished."
  • 00:20:19.704 --> 00:20:22.106
  • You are complete in christ.
  • 00:20:22.106 --> 00:20:23.607
  • It's finished.
  • 00:20:23.607 --> 00:20:24.975
  • Your sins are forgiven: past, present, and future.
  • 00:20:24.975 --> 00:20:26.711
  • You are the righteousness of god in christ, amen?
  • 00:20:26.711 --> 00:20:30.414
  • Now you should possess the peace.
  • 00:20:30.414 --> 00:20:32.917
  • He says peace be with you.
  • 00:20:32.917 --> 00:20:34.485
  • Receive it.
  • 00:20:34.485 --> 00:20:36.053
  • Therefore being made righteous with god, we have peace.
  • 00:20:36.053 --> 00:20:41.659
  • Therefore being justified by faith,
  • 00:20:41.659 --> 00:20:43.394
  • We have peace with god, okay?
  • 00:20:43.394 --> 00:20:48.632
  • Possess it.
  • 00:20:48.632 --> 00:20:50.067
  • Then after that, he asks you a next question.
  • 00:20:50.067 --> 00:20:52.436
  • After you are resting in the finished work,
  • 00:20:52.436 --> 00:20:54.605
  • After you are enjoying the peace with god,
  • 00:20:54.605 --> 00:20:57.174
  • You know that there's no more war
  • 00:20:57.174 --> 00:20:58.509
  • Between you and-- there's nothing, you know,
  • 00:20:58.509 --> 00:21:00.311
  • Between you and god anymore.
  • 00:21:00.311 --> 00:21:01.679
  • God is your father, you are so close to him.
  • 00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:03.481
  • He asks, "after all that i've done for you,
  • 00:21:03.481 --> 00:21:05.583
  • Is there anything in me that you see
  • 00:21:05.583 --> 00:21:07.485
  • That will cause you to love me?"
  • 00:21:07.485 --> 00:21:09.587
  • It's a question.
  • 00:21:09.587 --> 00:21:12.056
  • We say yes.
  • 00:21:12.056 --> 00:21:13.791
  • Then he asks, "do you love me?"
  • 00:21:13.791 --> 00:21:18.529
  • And then when you say, "yes, lord, i love you,"
  • 00:21:18.529 --> 00:21:21.065
  • Then he says, "follow me."
  • 00:21:21.065 --> 00:21:24.568
  • Get it?
  • 00:21:24.568 --> 00:21:25.936
  • I'll tell you what traditional christianity teaches.
  • 00:21:25.936 --> 00:21:29.807
  • Start from here.
  • 00:21:29.807 --> 00:21:31.976
  • Begin by following christ.
  • 00:21:31.976 --> 00:21:34.211
  • You people, you are too lazy to follow christ.
  • 00:21:34.211 --> 00:21:39.183
  • All right, lazy to wake up early in the morning,
  • 00:21:39.183 --> 00:21:41.185
  • Lazy to do this, lazy to do that.
  • 00:21:41.185 --> 00:21:42.753
  • You must begin to follow christ.
  • 00:21:42.753 --> 00:21:44.088
  • Only those who follow christ will be raptured.
  • 00:21:44.088 --> 00:21:46.490
  • Depending on your doctrine, your background.
  • 00:21:46.490 --> 00:21:47.925
  • Only those who follow christ will make it.
  • 00:21:47.925 --> 00:21:50.027
  • Don't think easy christianity, sloppy agape, greasy grace
  • 00:21:50.027 --> 00:21:53.097
  • Can get you into heaven, okay?
  • 00:21:53.097 --> 00:21:55.433
  • It sounds so amazing, it sounds so,
  • 00:21:55.433 --> 00:21:57.067
  • "wow, man, this guy is preaching with fire."
  • 00:21:57.067 --> 00:21:58.936
  • Yeah, what fire is it?
  • 00:21:58.936 --> 00:22:00.604
  • It's strange fire.
  • 00:22:00.604 --> 00:22:02.606
  • He's starting on the wrong foundation.
  • 00:22:02.606 --> 00:22:04.642
  • Begin, he'll teach you begin to follow christ, all right,
  • 00:22:04.642 --> 00:22:10.481
  • And do your best to love him.
  • 00:22:10.481 --> 00:22:16.454
  • Do your best to love him and then you will have peace
  • 00:22:16.454 --> 00:22:22.927
  • When the work is finished.
  • 00:22:22.927 --> 00:22:26.664
  • Don't laugh.
  • 00:22:26.664 --> 00:22:28.299
  • How many of us still believe this?
  • 00:22:28.299 --> 00:22:32.736
  • And i've showed you the sequence of the appearance
  • 00:22:32.736 --> 00:22:36.207
  • Of these words.
  • 00:22:36.207 --> 00:22:37.808
  • It is not natural.
  • 00:22:37.808 --> 00:22:39.777
  • I tell you this, if i take the brain of a christian by surgery,
  • 00:22:39.777 --> 00:22:43.247
  • Take their brain out, wash with the detergent of jesus's blood,
  • 00:22:43.247 --> 00:22:47.618
  • All right, then i put their brain like this, the other way.
  • 00:22:47.618 --> 00:22:51.822
  • Every christian will become a victorious christian
  • 00:22:51.822 --> 00:22:53.824
  • From this week on.
  • 00:22:53.824 --> 00:22:55.426
  • We'll think like god.
  • 00:22:55.426 --> 00:23:01.298
  • We still have thinking like, "the more i tell people
  • 00:23:01.298 --> 00:23:04.401
  • Who i am, what i've done, i'll be great."
  • 00:23:04.401 --> 00:23:07.671
  • Jesus says, "the more you know--
  • 00:23:07.671 --> 00:23:09.540
  • The more you serve, the greater you'll be."
  • 00:23:09.540 --> 00:23:12.276
  • It's all upside down, you know?
  • 00:23:12.276 --> 00:23:15.713
  • Like we have, you know the barber chair?
  • 00:23:15.713 --> 00:23:18.349
  • Like, someone beside you, you want to play oneupmanship
  • 00:23:18.349 --> 00:23:20.784
  • You just make it higher.
  • 00:23:20.784 --> 00:23:22.586
  • Then this guy realize, he was gonna make it higher.
  • 00:23:22.586 --> 00:23:25.322
  • And at the end, you make it higher, he make it higher.
  • 00:23:25.322 --> 00:23:28.259
  • Don't even play the game, amen?
  • 00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:30.895
  • Why look at each other?
  • 00:23:30.895 --> 00:23:32.730
  • We're to look at jesus.
  • 00:23:32.730 --> 00:23:34.131
  • Every disappointment comes when you compare yourself
  • 00:23:34.131 --> 00:23:35.966
  • With somebody else.
  • 00:23:35.966 --> 00:23:38.636
  • Do you understand this?
  • 00:23:38.636 --> 00:23:40.304
  • This is the sequence.
  • 00:23:40.304 --> 00:23:41.639
  • It starts with, "it is finished," amen, church?
  • 00:23:41.639 --> 00:23:43.641
