- 00:02:03.866 --> 00:02:06.069
- With today's program.
- 00:02:06.069 --> 00:02:07.537
- Joseph prince: a lot of the troubles
- 00:02:07.537 --> 00:02:09.005
- Of our married life
- 00:02:09.005 --> 00:02:11.808
- And our relationship with our loved ones,
- 00:02:11.808 --> 00:02:14.310
- Our children, and all that,
- 00:02:14.310 --> 00:02:15.778
- Is because of all this rising up of the flesh.
- 00:02:15.778 --> 00:02:19.315
- This little irritableness in our life,
- 00:02:19.315 --> 00:02:23.686
- This fault-finding attitude.
- 00:02:23.686 --> 00:02:25.655
- Finding fault is "the small foxes,"
- 00:02:25.655 --> 00:02:28.191
- The bible says, "that spoils the vine."
- 00:02:28.191 --> 00:02:30.360
- You know, when jesus died to sin,
- 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.794
- Once and for all, where did that happen?
- 00:02:31.794 --> 00:02:33.563
- At the cross, we died with him to sin
- 00:02:33.563 --> 00:02:36.799
- Once and for all.
- 00:02:36.799 --> 00:02:38.468
- When he--god raised jesus from the dead,
- 00:02:38.468 --> 00:02:42.038
- Never to die again, you and i were raised in him,
- 00:02:42.038 --> 00:02:46.075
- Amen, in resurrection life,
- 00:02:46.075 --> 00:02:48.678
- The other side of the grave, amen?
- 00:02:48.678 --> 00:02:50.880
- So where are all our sins?
- 00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:52.982
- Gone, forever gone.
- 00:02:52.982 --> 00:02:55.752
- Praise the lord, to god be the glory.
- 00:02:55.752 --> 00:02:58.054
- Where is our old adam,
- 00:02:58.054 --> 00:03:00.023
- The one that likes to sin,
- 00:03:00.023 --> 00:03:01.591
- The one that enjoys sinning,
- 00:03:01.591 --> 00:03:03.259
- The one that's always rebellious,
- 00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:05.028
- The one that gives you all the trouble in your life?
- 00:03:05.028 --> 00:03:07.630
- Gone, completely gone, crucified with christ, gone!
- 00:03:07.630 --> 00:03:12.602
- So the one that rose from the dead
- 00:03:12.602 --> 00:03:14.837
- Is a new man, hallelujah.
- 00:03:14.837 --> 00:03:16.472
- The bible says, "reckon yourself
- 00:03:16.472 --> 00:03:18.141
- On the other side of death."
- 00:03:18.141 --> 00:03:20.009
- You died to sin once and for all in christ,
- 00:03:20.009 --> 00:03:23.212
- When christ died to sin once and for all.
- 00:03:23.212 --> 00:03:25.381
- Then when christ rose from the dead,
- 00:03:25.381 --> 00:03:26.949
- You rose with him, hallelujah!
- 00:03:26.949 --> 00:03:30.153
- Do you know that this is true because you are in christ?
- 00:03:30.153 --> 00:03:35.158
- God identifies you, child of god, in christ.
- 00:03:35.158 --> 00:03:38.261
- Now, the reason i'm sharing all this
- 00:03:38.261 --> 00:03:39.595
- Is because if only we realize god knows that these
- 00:03:39.595 --> 00:03:43.299
- Are the things that are truly holding you back,
- 00:03:43.299 --> 00:03:47.804
- Thwarting you, amen, causing you defeat after defeat.
- 00:03:47.804 --> 00:03:51.974
- But you know what god has done with it?
- 00:03:51.974 --> 00:03:53.810
- God has crucified it, hallelujah!
- 00:03:53.810 --> 00:03:56.245
- That me that i dislike, that me that causes me
- 00:03:56.245 --> 00:04:00.016
- To always be defeated,
- 00:04:00.016 --> 00:04:01.351
- That me has been crucified at the cross,
- 00:04:01.351 --> 00:04:05.254
- And i am to reckon it dead.
- 00:04:05.254 --> 00:04:06.789
- You have died once and for all, this side of the cross.
- 00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:10.460
- Any teaching that tells you you have to die before that
- 00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:13.162
- Is before the cross, amen?
- 00:04:13.162 --> 00:04:15.264
- But at the cross, you died once and for all.
- 00:04:15.264 --> 00:04:18.301
- And your only job right now, your only posture to take
- 00:04:18.301 --> 00:04:21.971
- Is to consider yourself dead to sin.
- 00:04:21.971 --> 00:04:24.507
- So when these risings, these little foxes rise up,
- 00:04:24.507 --> 00:04:26.976
- This pride, this lust, this anger, this irritableness,
- 00:04:26.976 --> 00:04:31.347
- This fault-finding attitude,
- 00:04:31.347 --> 00:04:33.216
- When it rises up, what do you do with it, amen?
- 00:04:33.216 --> 00:04:35.952
- Pray against it?
- 00:04:35.952 --> 00:04:37.286
- No, when you pray against it, listen carefully,
- 00:04:37.286 --> 00:04:39.555
- You are saying it's alive.
- 00:04:39.555 --> 00:04:42.291
- You are negating what god is saying.
- 00:04:42.291 --> 00:04:43.993
- What do you do, amen?
- 00:04:43.993 --> 00:04:45.595
- Just ignore them.
- 00:04:45.595 --> 00:04:47.263
- Just say, "it's dead," amen?
- 00:04:47.263 --> 00:04:49.332
- Don't act on them because they are dead,
- 00:04:49.332 --> 00:04:50.933
- And what are you?
- 00:04:50.933 --> 00:04:52.268
- You are alive with resurrection life.
- 00:04:52.268 --> 00:04:53.903
- You know what you look like to god?
- 00:04:53.903 --> 00:04:56.539
- Like a royal prince, amen!
- 00:04:56.539 --> 00:04:58.574
- Like a royal princess, and that's how i define
- 00:04:58.574 --> 00:05:01.711
- That kind of holiness
- 00:05:01.711 --> 00:05:03.579
- That god wants to produce in our life.
- 00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:05.648
- Holiness is actually the opposite--
- 00:05:05.648 --> 00:05:07.617
- You know what's the opposite of holiness?
- 00:05:07.617 --> 00:05:09.652
- It's not sin, you read carefully the scriptures,
- 00:05:09.652 --> 00:05:13.189
- "everything that is holy is set apart."
- 00:05:13.189 --> 00:05:15.358
- The word "holy" is actually set apart from common use.
- 00:05:15.358 --> 00:05:18.795
- So the opposite of holiness is actually commonness.
- 00:05:18.795 --> 00:05:22.865
- Where the world sees darkness, amen,
- 00:05:22.865 --> 00:05:25.168
- They see us experiencing light.
- 00:05:25.168 --> 00:05:29.205
- That is being set apart from what?
- 00:05:29.205 --> 00:05:31.274
- From darkness, amen, god doesn't just want--
- 00:05:31.274 --> 00:05:34.210
- You know, it's not this idea of "holy" means
- 00:05:34.210 --> 00:05:36.012
- "religious behavior, a religious attitude."
- 00:05:36.012 --> 00:05:38.648
- Why is god saying, "be faithful to your wife?"
- 00:05:38.648 --> 00:05:41.384
- Because you are set apart
- 00:05:41.384 --> 00:05:42.718
- From the behavior of the world, amen?
- 00:05:42.718 --> 00:05:44.620
- It's a princely life, it's the heavenly life.
- 00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:47.390
- And now, if you are risen with christ,
- 00:05:47.390 --> 00:05:49.959
- Seek the things that are above.
- 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.794
- For you are dead and your life is hid
- 00:05:51.794 --> 00:05:53.429
- With christ in god, hallelujah!
- 00:05:53.429 --> 00:05:55.798
- Amen, set your affections on things above,
- 00:05:55.798 --> 00:05:58.334
- Not on things on the earth, amen?
- 00:05:58.334 --> 00:06:00.236
- And the things above are heavenly things,
- 00:06:00.236 --> 00:06:01.938
- Royal things, that belong to the king,
- 00:06:01.938 --> 00:06:03.906
- Amen, that pertains to the kingdom.
- 00:06:03.906 --> 00:06:06.442
- And you are son and daughter of god, hallelujah.
- 00:06:06.442 --> 00:06:08.945
- It is beneath you to get irritated
- 00:06:08.945 --> 00:06:11.080
- Over every small thing.
- 00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:12.415
- In fact, when you stop getting irritated
- 00:06:12.415 --> 00:06:14.083
- Over every small thing, you know how you look like?
- 00:06:14.083 --> 00:06:17.854
- Regal, royal, not this "holier than thou" attitude.
- 00:06:17.854 --> 00:06:22.658
- Jesus was a prince
- 00:06:22.658 --> 00:06:23.993
- That could stoop down and wash his disciples' feet
- 00:06:23.993 --> 00:06:25.995
- And never lose that princeliness.
- 00:06:25.995 --> 00:06:28.764
- People never saw him, even the disciples never saw him
- 00:06:28.764 --> 00:06:31.234
- As doing it with a servile spirit,
- 00:06:31.234 --> 00:06:33.870
- Like a slave.
- 00:06:33.870 --> 00:06:35.204
- No, there was a dignity, there was a glory,
- 00:06:35.204 --> 00:06:38.007
- Yet he was able to stoop down.
- 00:06:38.007 --> 00:06:39.408
- So this holiness that god talks about in the scriptures,
- 00:06:39.408 --> 00:06:42.178
- We better get it right.
- 00:06:42.178 --> 00:06:43.513
- Read carefully, amen?
- 00:06:43.513 --> 00:06:45.047
- We have to be set apart, amen, in our language,
- 00:06:45.047 --> 00:06:48.851
- Our speech, our thoughts, our behavior,
- 00:06:48.851 --> 00:06:51.787
- Our lives, our families, amen,
- 00:06:51.787 --> 00:06:54.624
- We are set apart.
- 00:06:54.624 --> 00:06:56.058
- And it also includes, where the world is depressed,
- 00:06:56.058 --> 00:06:59.328
- We have the peace of god.
- 00:06:59.328 --> 00:07:01.063
- Where the world is asking, "what is going to happen next?
- 00:07:01.063 --> 00:07:04.400
- What's going to happen next?"
- 00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:05.735
- We know it shall be well because we put our hand
- 00:07:05.735 --> 00:07:08.638
- In the hand of the one who knows the future, amen?
- 00:07:08.638 --> 00:07:11.374
- And he will lead us, and we know one thing.
- 00:07:11.374 --> 00:07:13.309
- Where the world is confused, what's going to happen
- 00:07:13.309 --> 00:07:15.111
- The next day, or this coming week,
- 00:07:15.111 --> 00:07:17.046
- Or this coming year, amen, we know surely, not maybe,
- 00:07:17.046 --> 00:07:20.883
- "surely goodness and mercy will hunt us down
- 00:07:20.883 --> 00:07:23.753
- All the days of our lives until we dwell
- 00:07:23.753 --> 00:07:27.023
- In the house of the lord forever," amen, amen.
- 00:07:27.023 --> 00:07:31.227
- Now let's go on.
- 00:07:31.227 --> 00:07:32.662
- Let's look at romans 6:14,
- 00:07:32.662 --> 00:07:34.697
- "for sin shall not have dominion over you:
- 00:07:34.697 --> 00:07:38.000
- For you are not under law, but under grace."
- 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.804
- You are not under law, but under grace.
- 00:07:41.804 --> 00:07:45.575
- You are not under you working, you performing,
- 00:07:45.575 --> 00:07:48.844
- You doing, but you are under grace.
- 00:07:48.844 --> 00:07:50.780
- God is performing on your behalf.
- 00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:53.382
- God is working, god is doing, amen?
- 00:07:53.382 --> 00:07:56.552
- So, "what then? shall we sin,
- 00:07:56.552 --> 00:07:57.987
- Because we are not under law,
- 00:07:57.987 --> 00:07:59.822
- But under grace?
- 00:07:59.822 --> 00:08:01.157
- God forbid."
- 00:08:01.157 --> 00:08:02.491
- Now, this is the only time in this passage
- 00:08:02.491 --> 00:08:05.928
- That the word "sin" is a verb.
- 00:08:05.928 --> 00:08:07.964
- In verse 15, "what then? shall we sin?"
- 00:08:07.964 --> 00:08:10.833
- "hamartanó."
- 00:08:10.833 --> 00:08:12.168
- Now, the only time that "sin" is a verb.
- 00:08:12.168 --> 00:08:15.771
- What is a verb?
- 00:08:15.771 --> 00:08:17.106
- An action, something that you perform,
- 00:08:17.106 --> 00:08:19.108
- Something you do, right?
- 00:08:19.108 --> 00:08:20.476
- So verb here tells us that this sin is an action.
- 00:08:20.476 --> 00:08:25.681
- But do you know that the entire chapter,
- 00:08:25.681 --> 00:08:28.284
- Chapter 6, when we talk about sin,
- 00:08:28.284 --> 00:08:30.219
- Dead to sin, is a noun.
- 00:08:30.219 --> 00:08:32.855
- "sin," there, is a noun, not a verb.
- 00:08:32.855 --> 00:08:34.490
- This is the only place
- 00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:35.825
- Where it appears in chapter 6 as a verb.
- 00:08:35.825 --> 00:08:37.793
- "what then? shall we sin,
- 00:08:37.793 --> 00:08:39.462
- Because we are not under law, but under grace?
- 00:08:39.462 --> 00:08:42.031
- God forbid."
- 00:08:42.031 --> 00:08:43.366
- Now, watch this, "know ye not,
- 00:08:43.366 --> 00:08:45.067
- That to whom ye present yourselves
- 00:08:45.067 --> 00:08:47.503
- As servants unto obedience."
- 00:08:47.503 --> 00:08:50.706
- Now, notice, there's a, like, person
- 00:08:50.706 --> 00:08:52.341
- That you present yourself.
- 00:08:52.341 --> 00:08:53.676
- "know ye not that to whom you present yourselves
- 00:08:53.676 --> 00:08:56.779
- As servants unto obedience."
- 00:08:56.779 --> 00:08:59.548
- And by the way, this "obedience" is also the noun,
- 00:08:59.548 --> 00:09:02.184
- Not the verb, obedience.
- 00:09:02.184 --> 00:09:04.420
- "his servants you are whom you obey;
- 00:09:04.420 --> 00:09:07.957
- Whether of sin unto death,
- 00:09:07.957 --> 00:09:10.693
- Or of obedience
- 00:09:10.693 --> 00:09:12.061
- Unto righteousness?"
- 00:09:12.061 --> 00:09:14.196
- Now, let me stop here and just say this,
- 00:09:14.196 --> 00:09:16.198
- Just now, we talked about being dead to sin.
- 00:09:16.198 --> 00:09:18.167
- Same chapter, being dead-- i'm going sequentially,
- 00:09:18.167 --> 00:09:20.870
- Being dead to sin and alive unto god.
- 00:09:20.870 --> 00:09:23.606
- Only then when you realize that you are one with christ,
- 00:09:23.606 --> 00:09:27.076
- And that's how god sees you,
- 00:09:27.076 --> 00:09:28.411
- And god never sees you out of christ anymore, amen?
- 00:09:28.411 --> 00:09:31.914
- And it's going to be a forever thing.
- 00:09:31.914 --> 00:09:33.249
- So now that you are in christ, amen,
- 00:09:33.249 --> 00:09:36.652
- Death is behind you, judgment is behind you, amen.
- 00:09:36.652 --> 00:09:40.456
- Your sinful nature that loves to sin is dead and gone
- 00:09:40.456 --> 00:09:43.559
- As far as faith is concerned,
- 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.094
- As far as god is concerned.
- 00:09:45.094 --> 00:09:46.495
- But not to experience, to experience it seems alive!
- 00:09:46.495 --> 00:09:50.066
- And understand that, but we are to walk by faith
- 00:09:50.066 --> 00:09:53.069
- And not by sight, amen?
- 00:09:53.069 --> 00:09:55.004
- Not only then, only then--
- 00:09:55.004 --> 00:09:56.972
- Notice, let's go back to that verse again
- 00:09:56.972 --> 00:09:58.374
- Before we come back to this verse.
- 00:09:58.374 --> 00:10:00.076
- In verse 11, "likewise you also, reckon yourself,"
- 00:10:00.076 --> 00:10:04.413
- Likewise, in the same manner, "dead indeed to sin,
- 00:10:04.413 --> 00:10:07.516
- But alive to god in christ jesus our lord."
- 00:10:07.516 --> 00:10:09.485
- Now look at this verse, next verse that comes,
- 00:10:09.485 --> 00:10:11.554
- After verse 11, it says, "therefore,"
- 00:10:11.554 --> 00:10:14.056
- Because of verse 11.
- 00:10:14.056 --> 00:10:15.391
- "therefore," whenever you find a "therefore,"
- 00:10:15.391 --> 00:10:17.359
- Find out why it's there for, it's because of verse 11.
- 00:10:17.359 --> 00:10:21.130
- In light of verse 11, "do not let sin reign
- 00:10:21.130 --> 00:10:25.134
- In your mortal body,
- 00:10:25.134 --> 00:10:26.802
- That you should obey in its lusts."
- 00:10:26.802 --> 00:10:28.738
- Now, many people want to jump to this verse
- 00:10:28.738 --> 00:10:30.639
- Without looking at the context.
- 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.541
- They are very quick to bring in the imperatives
- 00:10:32.541 --> 00:10:35.444
- Without looking at the indicatives.
- 00:10:35.444 --> 00:10:36.846
- It's the indicatives that gives you the power
- 00:10:36.846 --> 00:10:39.315
- And the right posture to perform the imperative.
- 00:10:39.315 --> 00:10:43.252
- "therefore do not let sin reign--"
- 00:10:43.252 --> 00:10:44.653
- Comes right after you realize, amen, as a revelation,
- 00:10:44.653 --> 00:10:49.592
- Truly this is how god sees me, dead to sin,
- 00:10:49.592 --> 00:10:52.461
- Alive in resurrection life in christ.
- 00:10:52.461 --> 00:10:55.397
- Even death is behind me
- 00:10:55.397 --> 00:10:57.099
- And i'm alive to god forever, amen?
- 00:10:57.099 --> 00:11:00.669
- Praise the lord, once you see that,
- 00:11:00.669 --> 00:11:02.204
- "therefore do not let sin," then you will have the power
- 00:11:02.204 --> 00:11:05.741
- To not let sin reign.
- 00:11:05.741 --> 00:11:07.810
- Mmm.
- 00:11:07.810 --> 00:11:09.779
- You cannot come to this part until you know this first, amen.
- 00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:13.649
- You cannot reckon yourself dead to sin
- 00:11:13.649 --> 00:11:15.117
- Unless you know how christ died to sin
- 00:11:15.117 --> 00:11:16.819
- Once and for all, amen?
- 00:11:16.819 --> 00:11:19.088
- Praise the lord. so this is very exciting.
- 00:11:19.088 --> 00:11:20.956
- Then we come to the verses just now as we drop down.
- 00:11:20.956 --> 00:11:24.527
- "know ye not," verse 16, "that to whom you present
- 00:11:24.527 --> 00:11:27.329
- Yourselves as servants unto obedience,
- 00:11:27.329 --> 00:11:29.598
- His servants you are whom you obey;
- 00:11:29.598 --> 00:11:31.867
- Whether of sin unto death,
- 00:11:31.867 --> 00:11:33.836
- Or of obedience unto righteousness?"
- 00:11:33.836 --> 00:11:35.805
- Now, many a times when we read this verse,
- 00:11:35.805 --> 00:11:38.407
- The idea is this, "all right, people, from now on--"
- 00:11:38.407 --> 00:11:41.677
- Okay, that's how it's taught.
- 00:11:41.677 --> 00:11:43.746
- "from now on, you're going to focus on this:
- 00:11:43.746 --> 00:11:47.216
- Do not sin, okay?
- 00:11:47.216 --> 00:11:48.784
- Try not to sin because sin will cause death to come, okay?
- 00:11:48.784 --> 00:11:54.657
- And obey, obey."
- 00:11:54.657 --> 00:11:56.625
- Now, if that is true, if the whole thing is talking
- 00:11:56.625 --> 00:11:59.094
- About our sin and our obedience, watch this.
- 00:11:59.094 --> 00:12:01.664
- "and do your best to obey, because when you obey,
- 00:12:01.664 --> 00:12:05.334
- You obey unto righteousness."
- 00:12:05.334 --> 00:12:07.203
- Now we got a problem. now we have a problem.
- 00:12:07.203 --> 00:12:09.772
- We are saying that it's our obedience
- 00:12:09.772 --> 00:12:11.373
- That produces righteousness.
- 00:12:11.373 --> 00:12:13.008
- There's no other way to read that.
- 00:12:13.008 --> 00:12:14.443
- Look carefully, all right?
- 00:12:14.443 --> 00:12:15.778
- The word "sin unto death" is "sin," "eis," in greek.
- 00:12:15.778 --> 00:12:18.647
- "unto death, obedience," "eis",
- 00:12:18.647 --> 00:12:21.116
- "unto righteousness."
- 00:12:21.116 --> 00:12:22.751
- So whose sin was it that sin unto death?
- 00:12:22.751 --> 00:12:28.791
- Your sin or my sin, or is it adam's sin?
- 00:12:28.791 --> 00:12:33.395
- By the same token, whose obedience is it?
- 00:12:33.395 --> 00:12:35.965
- "obedience unto righteousness,"
- 00:12:35.965 --> 00:12:37.499
- Is it our obedience that causes us to be righteous?
- 00:12:37.499 --> 00:12:40.669
- "obedience unto righteousness?"
- 00:12:40.669 --> 00:12:42.004
- Or is it jesus's obedience that gave us this righteousness?
- 00:12:42.004 --> 00:12:47.076
- Now, for that, we must look at the chapter before romans 6,
- 00:12:47.076 --> 00:12:51.080
- Because 5 comes before 6.
- 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.549
- So in the previous chapter, chapter 5, it says here,
- 00:12:53.549 --> 00:12:56.418
- "for as by one man's disobedience--"
- 00:12:56.418 --> 00:12:59.555
- Now, who is that one man's disobedience?
- 00:12:59.555 --> 00:13:02.558
- Adam, it's not your father, it's not your grandfather,
- 00:13:02.558 --> 00:13:06.028
- It is adam!
- 00:13:06.028 --> 00:13:07.363
- You might say he's
- 00:13:07.363 --> 00:13:08.697
- Your great-great- great-grandfather, all right?
- 00:13:08.697 --> 00:13:10.032
- It's our great-grandfather, adam's sin that brought death
- 00:13:10.032 --> 00:13:13.269
- Into this world, so that's the one man's sin.
- 00:13:13.269 --> 00:13:17.172
- That one man's sin, that one man's disobedience--
- 00:13:17.172 --> 00:13:21.143
- "by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,
- 00:13:21.143 --> 00:13:25.581
- So also by one man's obedience--"
- 00:13:25.581 --> 00:13:29.318
- Now, who is that one man's obedience?
- 00:13:29.318 --> 00:13:31.420
- Hallelujah, our glorious lord!
- 00:13:31.420 --> 00:13:34.757
- Amen, the adorable one, praise the lord.
- 00:13:34.757 --> 00:13:37.226
- Our lord jesus christ, "by one man's obedience,
- 00:13:37.226 --> 00:13:41.230
- Many are made righteous."
- 00:13:41.230 --> 00:13:43.699
- So it was not my sin that made me a sinner,
- 00:13:43.699 --> 00:13:48.037
- I was born a sinner.
- 00:13:48.037 --> 00:13:49.972
- It was adam's sin that made me a sinner, right?
- 00:13:49.972 --> 00:13:53.309
- I sin because i'm a sinner.
- 00:13:53.309 --> 00:13:56.879
- I'm not a sinner because i sin.
- 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.815
- Adam's sin made me a sinner.
- 00:13:59.815 --> 00:14:01.817
- Now, likewise, jesus's obedience made me righteous.
- 00:14:01.817 --> 00:14:06.055
- I'm not righteous because i obey.
- 00:14:06.055 --> 00:14:10.059
- I obey because i am righteous, amen?
- 00:14:10.059 --> 00:14:13.595
- And the consciousness of righteousness, people,
- 00:14:13.595 --> 00:14:15.564
- Will always cause you to obey,
- 00:14:15.564 --> 00:14:17.366
- Even unconsciously, amen?
- 00:14:17.366 --> 00:14:19.268
- And one of the greatest obedience in the new testament
- 00:14:19.268 --> 00:14:21.570
- Is obedience of faith, amen, right believing.
- 00:14:21.570 --> 00:14:25.107
- What i'm sharing here is all about right believing.
- 00:14:25.107 --> 00:14:27.309
- Now, whose obedience made you righteous based on this verse?
- 00:14:27.309 --> 00:14:30.446
- Amen, "by one man's obedience, we are made righteous."
- 00:14:30.446 --> 00:14:33.649
- And that's why the devil does not want you to see this.
- 00:14:33.649 --> 00:14:35.951
- He wants you to see that it is your sin
- 00:14:35.951 --> 00:14:38.654
- That brought death in your life,
- 00:14:38.654 --> 00:14:39.989
- It is your obedience that brings righteousness into your life,
- 00:14:39.989 --> 00:14:43.425
- So you better try to avoid the sin and try to obey.
- 00:14:43.425 --> 00:14:46.462
- Now, friend, all this "trying" business is not revelation.
- 00:14:46.462 --> 00:14:49.665
- You cannot--you see, the way to overcome sin in our lives,
- 00:14:49.665 --> 00:14:53.202
- I've heard it taught in so many ways
- 00:14:53.202 --> 00:14:55.237
- Down through the years.
- 00:14:55.237 --> 00:14:56.572
- As a believer, i tried my best.
- 00:14:56.572 --> 00:14:58.507
- I tried extra surrender,
- 00:14:58.507 --> 00:15:01.377
- I surrendered as much as i can to god.
- 00:15:01.377 --> 00:15:03.412
- I tried to obey god in every area of my life.
- 00:15:03.412 --> 00:15:06.315
- Believe it or not, i confessed my sins almost every day.
- 00:15:06.315 --> 00:15:09.518
- Okay, i find-- why is it so that,
- 00:15:09.518 --> 00:15:11.220
- If i'm doing the will of god,
- 00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:12.554
- I'm confessing as much sins as possible,
- 00:15:12.554 --> 00:15:14.123
- I should be joyful,
- 00:15:14.123 --> 00:15:15.457
- I should be flooded with peace, amen?
- 00:15:15.457 --> 00:15:17.860
- I should have victory in my life, amen.=?
- 00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:20.195
- But instead, i felt depressed,
- 00:15:20.195 --> 00:15:21.697
- I felt like i was in a sinking hole.
- 00:15:21.697 --> 00:15:23.899
- The more sins i confessed, the more sins i saw,
- 00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:27.336
- And i was obsessed with sin.
- 00:15:27.336 --> 00:15:29.538
- And the opposite of what this chapter is teaching us
- 00:15:29.538 --> 00:15:33.142
- That happened at the cross, amen.
- 00:15:33.142 --> 00:15:34.877
- He died to sin once and for all.
- 00:15:34.877 --> 00:15:37.346
- In other words, when sin rises up,
- 00:15:37.346 --> 00:15:39.748
- We have to ignore it because it is dead, amen?
- 00:15:39.748 --> 00:15:42.651
- It appears alive, it's a mirage, it is dead.
- 00:15:42.651 --> 00:15:47.122
- Hallelujah, praise the name of jesus, amen!
- 00:15:47.122 --> 00:15:51.827
- So how do you become holy today?
- 00:15:51.827 --> 00:15:53.362
- Well, friend, number one, you behold christ.
- 00:15:53.362 --> 00:15:56.398
- And looking at jesus, "we are all,
- 00:15:56.398 --> 00:15:59.668
- With unveiled face," without the lord in our lives,
- 00:15:59.668 --> 00:16:03.105
- "beholding the glory of the lord,
- 00:16:03.105 --> 00:16:05.007
- Are being transformed into the same image
- 00:16:05.007 --> 00:16:07.709
- From glory to glory, even by the spirit of the lord."
- 00:16:07.709 --> 00:16:11.313
- And we have to see the risen christ.
- 00:16:11.313 --> 00:16:13.282
- We don't see him when he was in his humility,
- 00:16:13.282 --> 00:16:17.553
- In his holy condescension on earth, all right,
- 00:16:17.553 --> 00:16:20.322
- That's not jesus that is glorified.
- 00:16:20.322 --> 00:16:22.357
- His glory is-- don't misunderstand, amen?
- 00:16:22.357 --> 00:16:24.693
- When he was on earth, he had the moral glory,
- 00:16:24.693 --> 00:16:27.496
- He had the character glory,
- 00:16:27.496 --> 00:16:29.431
- He had the glory of amazing virtues, amen?
- 00:16:29.431 --> 00:16:33.702
- He had the glory of a man, praise the lord.
- 00:16:33.702 --> 00:16:36.905
- He had the glory of the messiah,
- 00:16:36.905 --> 00:16:39.374
- But then, he was not glorified yet
- 00:16:39.374 --> 00:16:41.243
- Until he died and rose again, went back to the father,
- 00:16:41.243 --> 00:16:44.379
- And the father glorified him at his right hand, hallelujah!
- 00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:48.484
- Now, he's crowned with glory and honor,
- 00:16:48.484 --> 00:16:51.286
- Not like when he was on earth, and that's what paul says,
- 00:16:51.286 --> 00:16:53.489
- "from now on, we do not know christ
- 00:16:53.489 --> 00:16:55.657
- From a human perspective.
- 00:16:55.657 --> 00:16:57.126
- We see what--"
- 00:16:57.126 --> 00:16:58.460
- In other words, he's saying what?
- 00:16:58.460 --> 00:16:59.795
- We don't see the jesus in the natural
- 00:16:59.795 --> 00:17:02.131
- When he was in his humility and holy condescension,
- 00:17:02.131 --> 00:17:05.734
- His first coming,
- 00:17:05.734 --> 00:17:07.069
- We see the jesus that is now at the father's right hand.
- 00:17:07.069 --> 00:17:11.173
- You know, the bible says not "as he was,
- 00:17:11.173 --> 00:17:13.675
- So are you in this world."
- 00:17:13.675 --> 00:17:15.010
- It says, "as he is, so are you in this world."
- 00:17:15.010 --> 00:17:18.847
- Very seldom we hear preaching about the risen christ.
- 00:17:18.847 --> 00:17:21.550
- We hear about jesus on earth, amen?
- 00:17:21.550 --> 00:17:23.986
- We hear jesus-- and all that's important,
- 00:17:23.986 --> 00:17:25.888
- It has its place.
- 00:17:25.888 --> 00:17:27.589
- But when paul preached, he preached the risen christ.
- 00:17:27.589 --> 00:17:30.659
- He preached the christ that's resurrected,
- 00:17:30.659 --> 00:17:32.628
- The glorified christ.
- 00:17:32.628 --> 00:17:33.962
- "if you then be risen with christ."
- 00:17:33.962 --> 00:17:35.697
- He didn't just tell them, "come on, guys, obey."
- 00:17:35.697 --> 00:17:38.133
- He told them, "jesus is at the father's right hand.
- 00:17:38.133 --> 00:17:42.371
- That's where you are.
- 00:17:42.371 --> 00:17:43.705
- Your life is hid with christ in god.
- 00:17:43.705 --> 00:17:46.909
- When christ, who is our life, shall appear,
- 00:17:46.909 --> 00:17:49.811
- You will appear with him in glory."
- 00:17:49.811 --> 00:17:51.713
- Paul is always talking about the risen christ.
- 00:17:51.713 --> 00:17:54.349
- Paul preached about the resurrected jesus,
- 00:17:54.349 --> 00:17:56.952
- Hallelujah, hallelujah!
- 00:17:56.952 --> 00:17:59.188
- Now, look at acts 13.
- 00:18:00.255 --> 00:18:02.491
- Paul is preaching,
- 00:18:02.491 --> 00:18:04.059
- At the conclusion of paul's sermon,
- 00:18:04.059 --> 00:18:05.661
- Paul said this, "therefore, let it be known to you,
- 00:18:05.661 --> 00:18:08.630
- Brethren, that through this man
- 00:18:08.630 --> 00:18:10.832
- Is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
- 00:18:10.832 --> 00:18:14.369
- And by him, everyone who believes
- 00:18:14.369 --> 00:18:17.606
- Is justified from all things from which you
- 00:18:17.606 --> 00:18:21.610
- Cannot be justified by the law of moses."
- 00:18:21.610 --> 00:18:25.414
- Verse 39 in the young's translation,
- 00:18:25.414 --> 00:18:27.449
- He brings out the word, "dikaioó" in greek.
- 00:18:27.449 --> 00:18:31.019
- "and from all things from which you were not able
- 00:18:31.019 --> 00:18:33.722
- In the law of moses to be declared righteous--"
- 00:18:33.722 --> 00:18:36.625
- That's the greek word, "dikaioó," all right?
- 00:18:36.625 --> 00:18:39.561
- That's how you say it, and it is the word,
- 00:18:39.561 --> 00:18:41.964
- "declared righteous,"
- 00:18:41.964 --> 00:18:43.999
- "justified" in some of the verses,
- 00:18:43.999 --> 00:18:45.767
- That's how they put it in the king james as well.
- 00:18:45.767 --> 00:18:48.470
- "and from all things from which you are not able
- 00:18:48.470 --> 00:18:50.539
- In the law of moses to be declared righteous,
- 00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:52.541
- In this one," in this man jesus,
- 00:18:52.541 --> 00:18:55.377
- "everyone who is believing
- 00:18:55.377 --> 00:18:57.779
- Is declared righteous," hallelujah!
- 00:18:57.779 --> 00:19:01.283
- We are declared righteous not because of our obedience,
- 00:19:01.283 --> 00:19:06.054
- But through this one.
- 00:19:06.054 --> 00:19:07.856
- Paul is saying, "through this man is preached
- 00:19:07.856 --> 00:19:09.625
- To the forgiveness of sins," and then he said this,
- 00:19:09.625 --> 00:19:12.294
- "and all things from which you cannot be justified
- 00:19:12.294 --> 00:19:15.731
- Or declared righteous by the law of moses,
- 00:19:15.731 --> 00:19:18.267
- You can be declared righteous through this man
- 00:19:18.267 --> 00:19:22.871
- By believing in him."
- 00:19:22.871 --> 00:19:24.206
- Everyone who believes on him is declared righteous.
- 00:19:24.206 --> 00:19:26.575
- You know, grace is so full and free that if it's proclaimed
- 00:19:26.575 --> 00:19:31.446
- In its fullness, in its unqualifiedness,
- 00:19:31.446 --> 00:19:34.983
- There will be those who won't believe it.
- 00:19:34.983 --> 00:19:36.952
- They say, "it's too good to be true."
- 00:19:36.952 --> 00:19:39.054
- Nope, and some of them
- 00:19:39.054 --> 00:19:40.455
- Won't even say it's too good to be true,
- 00:19:40.455 --> 00:19:42.257
- "this must be the devil," amen?
- 00:19:42.257 --> 00:19:44.059
- "this must be the devil's teaching."
- 00:19:44.059 --> 00:19:46.061
- Friends, we've got to be careful.
- 00:19:46.061 --> 00:19:47.896
- Will the real gospel please stand up?
- 00:19:47.896 --> 00:19:49.965
- We have a word-for-word account of the gospel
- 00:19:49.965 --> 00:19:53.068
- That paul preached in this chapter,
- 00:19:53.068 --> 00:19:55.671
- Acts 13, hallelujah.
- 00:19:55.671 --> 00:19:59.374
- My friend, it's important that we get the right gospel
- 00:19:59.374 --> 00:20:04.079
- If we want to see the right results.
- 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:06.682
- You were the servant of sin.
- 00:20:06.682 --> 00:20:08.483
- You were in a prison called sin.
- 00:20:08.483 --> 00:20:10.385
- No matter how good things that you did,
- 00:20:10.385 --> 00:20:13.188
- No matter how righteous you tried to become,
- 00:20:13.188 --> 00:20:15.724
- You were still stuck in that prison of sin,
- 00:20:15.724 --> 00:20:18.493
- That god sees you nothing but as a sinner.
- 00:20:18.493 --> 00:20:21.396
- Nothing that you do can undo your position as a sinner.
- 00:20:21.396 --> 00:20:25.767
- But now, praise be to god, jesus has come.
- 00:20:25.767 --> 00:20:28.737
- He died on the cross for our sins, and also as us.
- 00:20:28.737 --> 00:20:32.874
- And he rose from the dead as us, amen?
- 00:20:32.874 --> 00:20:35.777
- We are now in a different prison.
- 00:20:35.777 --> 00:20:37.446
- There has been a prison exchange, hallelujah.
- 00:20:37.446 --> 00:20:40.082
- And we are now slaves to this prison,
- 00:20:40.082 --> 00:20:41.950
- That no matter what i do,
- 00:20:41.950 --> 00:20:43.285
- I'm nothing but righteous in god's eyes.
- 00:20:43.285 --> 00:20:45.854
- That's why he used the word "slave to righteousness."
- 00:20:45.854 --> 00:20:47.923
- Nothing that you do can change the fact
- 00:20:47.923 --> 00:20:50.492
- That you are forever bound
- 00:20:50.492 --> 00:20:52.794
- To the fact that you are righteous in christ, hallelujah!
- 00:20:52.794 --> 00:20:57.299
- John bunyan shared this.
- 00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:59.000
- John bunyan is the author of "pilgrim's progress."
- 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.670
- And little did i know,
- 00:21:01.670 --> 00:21:03.238
- When i went through my struggles,
- 00:21:03.238 --> 00:21:04.940
- You know, confessing my sins every day,
- 00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:06.908
- Having a list of sins to confess, and looking
- 00:21:06.908 --> 00:21:09.745
- For that victorious life in christ, and i did my best.
- 00:21:09.745 --> 00:21:13.749
- I did everything i know how,
- 00:21:13.749 --> 00:21:15.384
- But i was still afraid of sinning.
- 00:21:15.384 --> 00:21:16.885
- And when i'm afraid of sinning, the more i'm afraid of sin,
- 00:21:16.885 --> 00:21:19.488
- I end up sinning.
- 00:21:19.488 --> 00:21:20.956
- And before the day is over, you know,
- 00:21:20.956 --> 00:21:22.557
- I'm back again to confess my sins and all that.
- 00:21:22.557 --> 00:21:25.093
- And this is not the life-- deep down in my heart,
- 00:21:25.093 --> 00:21:26.995
- I know this is not the life that i want.
- 00:21:26.995 --> 00:21:28.830
- But i look around at my other fellow christians
- 00:21:28.830 --> 00:21:30.632
- And they seemed fine, they were okay, you know?
- 00:21:30.632 --> 00:21:33.769
- And i was wondering, "am i abnormal?
- 00:21:33.769 --> 00:21:37.572
- Are saints experiencing this?"
- 00:21:37.572 --> 00:21:39.541
- I remember going to a bookshop-- a christian bookshop one time
- 00:21:39.541 --> 00:21:42.677
- And i saw this book by john bunyan.
- 00:21:42.677 --> 00:21:46.314
- It's not "pilgrim's progress," it's actually another book
- 00:21:46.314 --> 00:21:48.350
- That he wrote called
- 00:21:48.350 --> 00:21:50.152
- "abounding grace to the chief of sinners."
- 00:21:50.152 --> 00:21:54.089
- And i just picked up the book, and i scanned it,
- 00:21:54.089 --> 00:21:57.492
- I just was scanning through it, and my eyes fell on this page.
- 00:21:57.492 --> 00:22:03.298
- He said that he was struggling with sin.
- 00:22:03.298 --> 00:22:05.467
- And even when he read the bible, somehow,
- 00:22:05.467 --> 00:22:07.836
- He will misinterpret the bible and turn a beautiful verse
- 00:22:07.836 --> 00:22:11.173
- Into a verse that condemned him.
- 00:22:11.173 --> 00:22:13.074
- You know, he will read verses like, even hebrews 6,
- 00:22:13.074 --> 00:22:17.112
- You know, the sinning willfully in hebrews 10,
- 00:22:17.112 --> 00:22:21.583
- And all that, and just turn it to condemn himself.
- 00:22:21.583 --> 00:22:24.119
- He's more conscious of all those chapters
- 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:25.887
- Than he is of the other chapters,
- 00:22:25.887 --> 00:22:27.389
- And he says he can't escape from this sin-consciousness.
- 00:22:27.389 --> 00:22:31.359
- And his life was a life
- 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:33.261
- That was filled with anxiety attacks,
- 00:22:33.261 --> 00:22:36.698
- He was always morose, no joy in his life,
- 00:22:36.698 --> 00:22:40.435
- And he was going through all this sin-consciousness,
- 00:22:40.435 --> 00:22:42.604
- And i felt i could identify with that, "wow!
- 00:22:42.604 --> 00:22:45.474
- I didn't know that john bunyan went through this!"
- 00:22:45.474 --> 00:22:48.109
- And then he said this, and this really set me free.
- 00:22:48.109 --> 00:22:51.213
- John bunyan says one day,
- 00:22:51.213 --> 00:22:52.547
- He was walking through the fields,
- 00:22:52.547 --> 00:22:55.083
- And just like, you know, just absentmindedly,
- 00:22:55.083 --> 00:22:58.153
- Just walking around in the fields,
- 00:22:58.153 --> 00:23:00.222
- And all of a sudden, he heard the holy spirit speak to him.
- 00:23:00.222 --> 00:23:03.725
- It came like a clarion call, so clear, and this was
- 00:23:03.725 --> 00:23:07.596
- What the holy spirit said.
- 00:23:07.596 --> 00:23:11.066
- "your righteousness is in heaven."
- 00:23:11.066 --> 00:23:16.071
- Whoa, even when i read that, i understood exactly,
- 00:23:16.071 --> 00:23:20.542
- And everything, all my fears.
- 00:23:20.542 --> 00:23:22.477
- Because everything is self-obsessed,
- 00:23:22.477 --> 00:23:24.679
- Self-occupied, self-focused, "i gotta live holy.
- 00:23:24.679 --> 00:23:28.984
- I gotta be obedient.
- 00:23:28.984 --> 00:23:30.352
- I gotta, i gotta, i gotta, i gotta, i gotta."
- 00:23:30.352 --> 00:23:32.087
- I'm looking at myself all the time,
- 00:23:32.087 --> 00:23:33.421
- Not knowing the devil has twisted the whole thing
- 00:23:33.421 --> 00:23:35.557
- To make me self-obsessed and self-occupied
- 00:23:35.557 --> 00:23:38.159
- That i don't see christ anymore.
- 00:23:38.159 --> 00:23:40.862
- But now, the holy spirit came with one verse
- 00:23:40.862 --> 00:23:43.298
- That set john bunyan free,
- 00:23:43.298 --> 00:23:45.133
- And the very same statement that set me free was this,
- 00:23:45.133 --> 00:23:49.170
- "your righteousness is in heaven."
- 00:23:49.170 --> 00:23:51.806
- Which means what?
- 00:23:51.806 --> 00:23:53.141
- Jesus is there at the father's right hand
- 00:23:53.141 --> 00:23:55.043
- And the devil cannot remove him, hallelujah!
- 00:23:55.043 --> 00:23:58.213
- Your sins cannot undo
- 00:23:58.213 --> 00:23:59.548
- The fact he is still your righteousness.
- 00:23:59.548 --> 00:24:01.983
- Unless someone can go up there,
- 00:24:01.983 --> 00:24:05.153
- Remove him from the throne of god,
- 00:24:05.153 --> 00:24:07.322
- That god himself has set him there.
- 00:24:07.322 --> 00:24:09.558
- Unless that can happen,
- 00:24:09.558 --> 00:24:11.059
- Then your righteousness can be removed.
- 00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:12.594
- But my friend, your righteousness is in heaven.
- 00:24:12.594 --> 00:24:15.564
- You are forever secured in that.
- 00:24:15.564 --> 00:24:17.599
- Announcer: pastor joseph prince will return in a moment
