My series teaching on
00:00:34.424 --> 00:00:35.692
Romans highlights. this is the
00:00:35.692 --> 00:00:37.427
Beginning of my second week and
00:00:37.427 --> 00:00:39.162
This coming friday is going to
00:00:39.162 --> 00:00:41.164
Be the end of this teaching. i'm
00:00:41.164 --> 00:00:43.299
Rushing through the first 8
00:00:43.299 --> 00:00:45.135
Chapters of the book of romans,
00:00:45.135 --> 00:00:47.303
Not because i don't love it.
00:00:47.303 --> 00:00:49.172
Matter of fact, i do love it.
00:00:49.172 --> 00:00:50.573
That's the reason i've got so
00:00:50.573 --> 00:00:51.541
Much material. i've got this
00:00:51.541 --> 00:00:53.243
Little brief summary that i'm
00:00:53.243 --> 00:00:54.611
Doing for just two weeks on my
00:00:54.611 --> 00:00:56.112
Program here entitled romans
00:00:56.112 --> 00:00:58.114
Highlights, but then i have
00:00:58.114 --> 00:00:59.415
Another teaching that i did for
00:00:59.415 --> 00:01:01.117
Six weeks on television entitled
00:01:01.117 --> 00:01:03.887
Grace: the power of the gospel.
00:01:03.887 --> 00:01:06.022
And then i've got another
00:01:06.022 --> 00:01:07.724
Teaching that i did for 11
00:01:07.724 --> 00:01:09.893
Weeks, where i went verse by
00:01:09.893 --> 00:01:12.162
Verse through the book of
00:01:12.162 --> 00:01:13.363
Romans. and this book, this
00:01:13.363 --> 00:01:15.198
Hardback copy is my living
00:01:15.198 --> 00:01:17.033
Commentary, which is on my
00:01:17.033 --> 00:01:18.268
Computer here. i've written
00:01:18.268 --> 00:01:19.903
Footnotes on over 27,000 verses
00:01:19.903 --> 00:01:22.272
In the bible, and it's that
00:01:22.272 --> 00:01:24.407
Portion of the living
00:01:24.407 --> 00:01:25.408
Commentary on the book of
00:01:25.408 --> 00:01:26.543
Romans, printed out, 422 pages.
00:01:26.543 --> 00:01:29.746
So we've got a lot of material,
00:01:29.746 --> 00:01:32.649
And i just am speeding through
00:01:32.649 --> 00:01:36.019
It sharing just highlights.
00:01:36.019 --> 00:01:37.954
That's the reason i entitled it
00:01:37.954 --> 00:01:39.389
This, and we'll give out of all
00:01:39.389 --> 00:01:41.090
That information at the end of
00:01:41.090 --> 00:01:42.358
The program. i'm now into
00:01:42.358 --> 00:01:44.027
Romans, chapter 4, and i've
00:01:44.093 --> 00:01:47.096
Romans, chapter 4, and i've already covered so much, but
00:01:47.163 --> 00:01:48.598
Already covered so much, but this is talking about that god
00:01:48.665 --> 00:01:51.868
This is talking about that god relates to us and allows us to
00:01:51.935 --> 00:01:54.404
Relates to us and allows us to relate to him and based on grace
00:01:54.470 --> 00:01:56.906
Relate to him and based on grace and not on performance. in other
00:01:56.973 --> 00:01:59.909
And not on performance. in other words, grace is unmerited,
00:01:59.976 --> 00:02:01.844
Words, grace is unmerited, unearned, undeserved favor. and
00:02:01.911 --> 00:02:05.248
Unearned, undeserved favor. and god is willing to just relate to
00:02:05.315 --> 00:02:07.450
God is willing to just relate to us with all of our warts, with
00:02:07.517 --> 00:02:09.385
Us with all of our warts, with all of our problems, and the way
00:02:09.452 --> 00:02:11.788
All of our problems, and the way that that happens is jesus came
00:02:11.854 --> 00:02:14.023
That that happens is jesus came and lived perfectly for us. he
00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:17.060
And lived perfectly for us. he was a perfect person. and he
00:02:17.126 --> 00:02:19.529
Was a perfect person. and he took all of our sin upon
00:02:19.596 --> 00:02:22.065
Took all of our sin upon him and gave us all of his
00:02:22.131 --> 00:02:24.767
Him and gave us all of his righteousness. the only thing we
00:02:24.834 --> 00:02:26.936
Righteousness. the only thing we have to do is just receive it by
00:02:27.003 --> 00:02:29.806
Have to do is just receive it by faith. and that's what has been
00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:32.108
Faith. and that's what has been said here in the book of romans,
00:02:32.175 --> 00:02:33.810
Said here in the book of romans, and this is the gospel. that is
00:02:33.876 --> 00:02:36.246
And this is the gospel. that is the power of god. that's what
00:02:36.312 --> 00:02:37.680
The power of god. that's what releases all of god's power in
00:02:37.747 --> 00:02:39.782
Releases all of god's power in your life is when you start
00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:41.417
Your life is when you start relating to him based on what
00:02:41.484 --> 00:02:43.219
Relating to him based on what jesus did for you and not what
00:02:43.286 --> 00:02:45.488
Jesus did for you and not what you do for him. and we've used a
00:02:45.555 --> 00:02:47.924
You do for him. and we've used a lot of things. in romans,
00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:49.425
Lot of things. in romans, chapter 4, it used david and
00:02:49.492 --> 00:02:52.161
Chapter 4, it used david and abraham as examples of people
00:02:52.228 --> 00:02:54.797
Abraham as examples of people who were justified in the sight
00:02:54.864 --> 00:02:56.399
Who were justified in the sight of god. not because of what they
00:02:56.466 --> 00:02:58.101
Of god. not because of what they did, but because they believed
00:02:58.167 --> 00:03:01.504
Did, but because they believed in god. faith is what pleases
00:03:01.571 --> 00:03:04.907
In god. faith is what pleases god is what it says in hebrews,
00:03:04.974 --> 00:03:06.376
God is what it says in hebrews, chapter 11, verse 6. and you
00:03:06.442 --> 00:03:08.278
Chapter 11, verse 6. and you know, once you see this, it's so
00:03:08.344 --> 00:03:10.179
Know, once you see this, it's so obvious in the bible that you
00:03:10.246 --> 00:03:12.148
Obvious in the bible that you wonder how people miss this.
00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:13.516
Wonder how people miss this. because moses is a person that
00:03:13.583 --> 00:03:15.818
Because moses is a person that killed a person thinking he was
00:03:15.885 --> 00:03:17.920
Killed a person thinking he was doing god's will. moses wound up
00:03:17.987 --> 00:03:21.457
Doing god's will. moses wound up striking the rock twice when god
00:03:21.524 --> 00:03:23.559
Striking the rock twice when god told him to talk to it. because
00:03:23.626 --> 00:03:25.528
Told him to talk to it. because of that, moses didn't get to go
00:03:25.595 --> 00:03:26.996
Of that, moses didn't get to go into the promised land. so
00:03:27.063 --> 00:03:28.464
Into the promised land. so here's a man who was a murderer
00:03:28.531 --> 00:03:30.700
Here's a man who was a murderer and he disobeyed god, and yet he
00:03:30.767 --> 00:03:32.568
And he disobeyed god, and yet he believed god and because of it,
00:03:32.635 --> 00:03:34.203
Believed god and because of it, god used him in great ways. he
00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:36.506
God used him in great ways. he wrote the first five books of
00:03:36.572 --> 00:03:38.441
Wrote the first five books of the bible and wrote the 90th
00:03:38.508 --> 00:03:41.244
The bible and wrote the 90th psalm, and god used him
00:03:41.311 --> 00:03:43.446
Psalm, and god used him powerfully. david is another
00:03:43.513 --> 00:03:45.048
Powerfully. david is another person who murdered a man trying
00:03:45.114 --> 00:03:46.916
Person who murdered a man trying to cover up his adultery. david
00:03:46.983 --> 00:03:49.352
To cover up his adultery. david was an adulterer and a murderer,
00:03:49.419 --> 00:03:52.088
Was an adulterer and a murderer, and yet david had a relationship
00:03:52.155 --> 00:03:54.290
And yet david had a relationship with god because of faith. h...
00:03:54.357 --> 00:03:56.059
With god because of faith. h... his performance wasn't proper.
00:03:56.125 --> 00:03:57.994
His performance wasn't proper. did you know that paul, the one
00:03:58.061 --> 00:03:59.395
Did you know that paul, the one who wrote this very book of
00:03:59.462 --> 00:04:01.130
Who wrote this very book of romans, and he wrote about half
00:04:01.197 --> 00:04:04.334
Romans, and he wrote about half of the books in the new
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:05.401
Of the books in the new testament, did you know that he
00:04:05.468 --> 00:04:07.470
Testament, did you know that he wound up persecuting christians.
00:04:07.537 --> 00:04:10.206
Wound up persecuting christians. and it doesn't give a specific
00:04:10.273 --> 00:04:12.175
And it doesn't give a specific about him killing christians,
00:04:12.241 --> 00:04:13.643
About him killing christians, but it says he gave his voice
00:04:13.710 --> 00:04:15.445
But it says he gave his voice against them. he arrested them,
00:04:15.511 --> 00:04:17.380
Against them. he arrested them, and as they were persecuted and
00:04:17.447 --> 00:04:18.948
And as they were persecuted and killed, he consented unto their
00:04:19.015 --> 00:04:20.650
Killed, he consented unto their death. he was the one that stood
00:04:20.717 --> 00:04:22.352
Death. he was the one that stood there and took the clothes as
00:04:22.418 --> 00:04:24.220
There and took the clothes as they stoned stephen to death. so
00:04:24.287 --> 00:04:26.556
They stoned stephen to death. so here's paul who wrote half of
00:04:26.622 --> 00:04:28.291
Here's paul who wrote half of the books in the new testament
00:04:28.358 --> 00:04:29.492
The books in the new testament who was a murderer. david is one
00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:31.260
Who was a murderer. david is one who wrote most of the psalms and
00:04:31.327 --> 00:04:33.229
Who wrote most of the psalms and 1 and 2 samuel, and 1 and 2
00:04:33.296 --> 00:04:35.598
1 and 2 samuel, and 1 and 2 kings,... or 1 kings, was
00:04:35.665 --> 00:04:37.300
Kings,... or 1 kings, was written about david, and so he
00:04:37.367 --> 00:04:39.736
Written about david, and so he occupies a lot of scripture.
00:04:39.802 --> 00:04:42.271
Occupies a lot of scripture. moses is the one who wrote the
00:04:42.338 --> 00:04:43.573
Moses is the one who wrote the first five books of the bible.
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.141
First five books of the bible. did you know most of the bible
00:04:45.208 --> 00:04:46.442
Did you know most of the bible was written by murderers? that's
00:04:46.509 --> 00:04:49.479
Was written by murderers? that's amazing. now, that's not god
00:04:49.545 --> 00:04:51.681
Amazing. now, that's not god condoning murders, but it's god
00:04:51.748 --> 00:04:54.250
Condoning murders, but it's god showing that if a person is
00:04:54.317 --> 00:04:55.752
Showing that if a person is willing to repent and to humble
00:04:55.818 --> 00:04:57.787
Willing to repent and to humble themself, he will accept them on
00:04:57.854 --> 00:04:59.322
Themself, he will accept them on the basis of faith and not on
00:04:59.389 --> 00:05:01.424
The basis of faith and not on the basis of what they've done.
00:05:01.491 --> 00:05:03.126
The basis of what they've done. this is so obvious that once you
00:05:03.192 --> 00:05:05.027
This is so obvious that once you see it, you wonder how people
00:05:05.094 --> 00:05:06.262
See it, you wonder how people miss this, and yet they do miss
00:05:06.329 --> 00:05:08.598
Miss this, and yet they do miss it. and the average church today
00:05:08.664 --> 00:05:10.700
It. and the average church today is preaching that if you want
00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:12.068
Is preaching that if you want god to move in your life, you've
00:05:12.135 --> 00:05:13.503
God to move in your life, you've got to be holy. and if you
00:05:13.569 --> 00:05:14.804
Got to be holy. and if you aren't holy, god won't bless
00:05:14.871 --> 00:05:16.439
Aren't holy, god won't bless you, god won't answer your
00:05:16.506 --> 00:05:17.807
You, god won't answer your prayers, and on and on. that is
00:05:17.874 --> 00:05:19.776
Prayers, and on and on. that is not what the word teaches.
00:05:19.842 --> 00:05:21.711
Not what the word teaches. and the book of romans,
00:05:21.778 --> 00:05:23.045
And the book of romans, specifically, is trying to get
00:05:23.112 --> 00:05:25.248
Specifically, is trying to get this point across that we are
00:05:25.314 --> 00:05:27.083
This point across that we are justified in the sight of god,
00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:29.085
Justified in the sight of god, not through our adherence to
00:05:29.152 --> 00:05:31.421
Not through our adherence to some religious standard, but
00:05:31.487 --> 00:05:33.923
Some religious standard, but just through faith in god. now,
00:05:33.990 --> 00:05:36.225
Just through faith in god. now, if you have true faith in god,
00:05:36.292 --> 00:05:38.661
James, chapter 2, says faith
00:05:38.728 --> 00:05:40.329
James, chapter 2, says faith without works is dead. so if you
00:05:40.396 --> 00:05:42.265
Have saving faith, true bible
00:05:42.331 --> 00:05:44.400
Have saving faith, true bible faith, it will produce actions.
00:05:44.467 --> 00:05:47.437
Faith, it will produce actions. but there is not a direct
00:05:47.503 --> 00:05:49.505
But there is not a direct relationship between actions and
00:05:49.572 --> 00:05:51.774
Relationship between actions and what you believe. it certainly
00:05:51.841 --> 00:05:53.743
What you believe. it certainly influences how you act, but you
00:05:53.810 --> 00:05:55.445
Influences how you act, but you know people can act different to
00:05:55.511 --> 00:05:57.613
Know people can act different to what they believe through
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.815
What they believe through weakness. through sometimes fear
00:05:58.881 --> 00:06:01.517
Weakness. through sometimes fear of punishment and things like
00:06:01.584 --> 00:06:02.952
Of punishment and things like that. so, if you truly believe,
00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:05.388
That. so, if you truly believe, it will affect your actions, but
00:06:05.455 --> 00:06:07.623
It will affect your actions, but you can still mess up. you know,
00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:10.326
You can still mess up. you know, peters is a person who wound up
00:06:10.393 --> 00:06:12.528
Peters is a person who wound up renouncing the lord and saying i
00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:14.597
Renouncing the lord and saying i never knew this man. he denied
00:06:14.664 --> 00:06:17.166
Never knew this man. he denied the lord three times the night
00:06:17.233 --> 00:06:18.501
The lord three times the night before his crucifixion, and yet
00:06:18.568 --> 00:06:20.369
Before his crucifixion, and yet peter repented, and god used
00:06:20.436 --> 00:06:22.271
Peter repented, and god used him, and peter was one of the
00:06:22.338 --> 00:06:23.539
Him, and peter was one of the great examples of people that
00:06:23.606 --> 00:06:26.075
Great examples of people that were committed to god in
00:06:26.142 --> 00:06:27.677
Were committed to god in scripture. if you're looking for
00:06:27.743 --> 00:06:29.879
Scripture. if you're looking for it, god's never had anybody who
00:06:29.946 --> 00:06:32.248
It, god's never had anybody who was qualified working for him
00:06:32.315 --> 00:06:33.883
Was qualified working for him yet. and you aren't going to be
00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:36.052
Yet. and you aren't going to be the first one. it's faith that
00:06:36.118 --> 00:06:38.855
The first one. it's faith that allows god to accept us. it's
00:06:38.921 --> 00:06:40.990
Allows god to accept us. it's faith that he flows through us.
00:06:41.057 --> 00:06:43.226
Faith that he flows through us. you know i'm a great example of
00:06:43.292 --> 00:06:45.094
You know i'm a great example of this because man, i've seen god
00:06:45.161 --> 00:06:47.129
This because man, i've seen god do great things in my life. i've
00:06:47.196 --> 00:06:48.564
Do great things in my life. i've seen people raised from the
00:06:48.631 --> 00:06:49.732
Seen people raised from the dead, even members of my own
00:06:49.799 --> 00:06:51.200
Dead, even members of my own family i've seen raised from the
00:06:51.267 --> 00:06:53.135
Family i've seen raised from the dead who were dead over four
00:06:53.202 --> 00:06:54.537
Dead who were dead over four hours and came back with no
00:06:54.604 --> 00:06:56.005
Hours and came back with no brain damage. i've seen miracles
00:06:56.072 --> 00:06:58.841
Brain damage. i've seen miracles happen and when you say
00:06:58.908 --> 00:06:59.842
Happen and when you say something like that, there's a
00:06:59.909 --> 00:07:00.910
Something like that, there's a lot of people that have attacked
00:07:00.977 --> 00:07:02.144
Lot of people that have attacked me, so who do you think you are?
00:07:02.211 --> 00:07:03.880
Me, so who do you think you are? you're saying you're somebody
00:07:03.946 --> 00:07:05.081
You're saying you're somebody special that god did these
00:07:05.147 --> 00:07:06.549
Special that god did these things. i can guarantee you it's
00:07:06.616 --> 00:07:08.518
Things. i can guarantee you it's not me that's special. but i
00:07:08.584 --> 00:07:11.254
Not me that's special. but i have learned how to put faith in
00:07:11.320 --> 00:07:13.055
Have learned how to put faith in god. and god uses me not because
00:07:13.122 --> 00:07:16.759
God. and god uses me not because of who i am but be... but in
00:07:16.826 --> 00:07:18.461
Of who i am but be... but in spite of who i am and it's
00:07:18.528 --> 00:07:20.296
Spite of who i am and it's because i have learned how that
00:07:20.363 --> 00:07:22.798
Because i have learned how that jesus is the strength of my life
00:07:22.865 --> 00:07:25.268
Jesus is the strength of my life and not myself. so this is what
00:07:25.334 --> 00:07:27.303
And not myself. so this is what it's been talking about. it used
00:07:27.370 --> 00:07:28.571
It's been talking about. it used abraham as an example. and...
00:07:28.638 --> 00:07:30.840
And it says in romans 4:23, now
00:07:30.907 --> 00:07:32.808
And it says in romans 4:23, now it was not written for his sake
00:07:32.875 --> 00:07:35.077
It was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed unto
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:37.246
Alone, that it was imputed unto him. this is talking about
00:07:37.313 --> 00:07:37.980
Him. this is talking about abraham. but for us also, to
00:07:38.047 --> 00:07:41.050
Abraham. but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we
00:07:41.117 --> 00:07:43.686
Whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up
00:07:43.753 --> 00:07:45.388
Believe on him that raised up jesus our lord from the dead. in
00:07:45.454 --> 00:07:47.557
Other words, this is just saying
00:07:47.623 --> 00:07:48.758
Other words, this is just saying in the same way that abraham
00:07:48.824 --> 00:07:50.493
In the same way that abraham certainly wasn't the perfect
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:51.961
Certainly wasn't the perfect example, and yet god used him.
00:07:52.028 --> 00:07:54.363
Example, and yet god used him. it's saying the same thing will
00:07:54.430 --> 00:07:56.132
It's saying the same thing will work for you. that's the reason
00:07:56.198 --> 00:07:57.333
Work for you. that's the reason it was written is because the
00:07:57.400 --> 00:07:58.935
It was written is because the same thing will work for
00:07:59.001 --> 00:08:00.169
Same thing will work for you if you'll just believe on
00:08:00.236 --> 00:08:01.671
You if you'll just believe on him that raised up jesus
00:08:01.737 --> 00:08:03.539
Him that raised up jesus our lord from the dead.
00:08:03.606 --> 00:08:05.174
In verse 25, who was delivered
00:08:05.241 --> 00:08:07.343
In verse 25, who was delivered for our offenses, and
00:08:07.410 --> 00:08:09.145
For our offenses, and was raised again for our
00:08:09.211 --> 00:08:10.813
Was raised again for our justification. jesus died for
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:13.282
Our offenses, not his. he didn't
00:08:13.349 --> 00:08:15.618
Our offenses, not his. he didn't die because of something he had
00:08:15.685 --> 00:08:17.587
Done wrong. he took our sin into
00:08:17.653 --> 00:08:20.089
Done wrong. he took our sin into his own body on the tree, that
00:08:20.156 --> 00:08:22.291
His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sin, should
00:08:22.358 --> 00:08:23.859
We, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness; by
00:08:23.926 --> 00:08:25.795
Live unto righteousness; by whose stripes we were healed, 1
00:08:25.861 --> 00:08:28.064
Whose stripes we were healed, 1 peter 2:24. and so, in verse...
00:08:28.130 --> 00:08:30.766
Peter 2:24. and so, in verse... chapter 5, verse 1, it says,
00:08:30.833 --> 00:08:32.268
Chapter 5, verse 1, it says, therefore. the word therefore
00:08:32.335 --> 00:08:34.103
Therefore. the word therefore means when you see it, you're
00:08:34.170 --> 00:08:35.237
Means when you see it, you're supposed to look and see what
00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:36.305
Supposed to look and see what it's there for. it links what
00:08:36.372 --> 00:08:38.407
It's there for. it links what he's saying right now to what he
00:08:38.474 --> 00:08:40.042
Had just said about these things
00:08:40.109 --> 00:08:41.777
Had just said about these things were written about abraham and
00:08:41.844 --> 00:08:43.846
Were written about abraham and david and how that even though
00:08:43.913 --> 00:08:45.448
David and how that even though they sinned greatly and did
00:08:45.514 --> 00:08:47.249
They sinned greatly and did terrible things, yet because
00:08:47.316 --> 00:08:49.085
Terrible things, yet because of their faith, they had a
00:08:49.151 --> 00:08:50.586
Of their faith, they had a relationship with god and god
00:08:50.653 --> 00:08:52.388
Relationship with god and god used them. so if that worked for
00:08:52.455 --> 00:08:54.657
Them, therefore being justified
00:08:54.724 --> 00:08:56.659
Them, therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with
00:08:56.726 --> 00:08:59.261
By faith, we have peace with god. you know again, i'm going
00:08:59.328 --> 00:09:01.364
Through things really quickly,
00:09:01.430 --> 00:09:03.432
Through things really quickly, but we could spend an hour on
00:09:03.499 --> 00:09:05.501
This. being justified by faith,
00:09:05.568 --> 00:09:09.372
This. being justified by faith, you have peace with god. if you
00:09:09.438 --> 00:09:11.340
Are justified, means in right
00:09:11.407 --> 00:09:13.643
Are justified, means in right standing with god, through your
00:09:13.709 --> 00:09:15.444
Standing with god, through your own works, there is no peace.
00:09:15.511 --> 00:09:17.813
There is no rest. because even
00:09:18.948 --> 00:09:20.983
There is no rest. because even if you did everything perfectly
00:09:21.050 --> 00:09:22.518
If you did everything perfectly today, you're going to get up
00:09:22.585 --> 00:09:24.353
Today, you're going to get up tomorrow and you're going to
00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:25.121
Tomorrow and you're going to have to do it all over again.
00:09:25.187 --> 00:09:26.455
Have to do it all over again. you could never rest. you
00:09:26.522 --> 00:09:27.790
You could never rest. you could... you're just constantly,
00:09:27.857 --> 00:09:30.126
Could... you're just constantly, you're... you're on the verge of
00:09:30.192 --> 00:09:31.861
You're... you're on the verge of just total failure all of the
00:09:31.927 --> 00:09:33.462
Just total failure all of the time. but if your faith is in
00:09:33.529 --> 00:09:35.231
Time. but if your faith is in jesus and what he did for you,
00:09:35.297 --> 00:09:37.500
He never changes. he's the same
00:09:37.566 --> 00:09:39.802
He never changes. he's the same yesterday, to day and for ever.
00:09:39.869 --> 00:09:41.604
Yesterday, to day and for ever. and if your faith is in him, and
00:09:41.671 --> 00:09:43.205
If you're accepted with god
00:09:43.272 --> 00:09:44.440
If you're accepted with god through what jesus did, then you
00:09:44.507 --> 00:09:46.876
Through what jesus did, then you can rest because he's never
00:09:46.942 --> 00:09:49.445
Can rest because he's never going to change, and your faith
00:09:49.512 --> 00:09:50.813
Going to change, and your faith in him will continue to produce
00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:53.416
In him will continue to produce a victory in your life. not
00:09:53.482 --> 00:09:55.151
A victory in your life. not because you do everything right,
00:09:55.217 --> 00:09:56.619
Because you do everything right, but because he does. you know
00:09:56.686 --> 00:09:58.954
But because he does. you know just a week or so ago, i... the
00:09:59.021 --> 00:10:00.823
Just a week or so ago, i... the lord showed me i was supposed
00:10:00.890 --> 00:10:02.091
Lord showed me i was supposed to do something, and i did it,
00:10:02.158 --> 00:10:03.459
To do something, and i did it, but i didn't do it as bold, as
00:10:03.526 --> 00:10:05.561
But i didn't do it as bold, as strong. i... i backed off
00:10:05.628 --> 00:10:07.697
Strong. i... i backed off because of fear of criticism.
00:10:07.763 --> 00:10:11.233
Because of fear of criticism. and anyway, when i saw that, did
00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:12.835
And anyway, when i saw that, did you know what? i repented. but
00:10:12.902 --> 00:10:14.737
You know what? i repented. but one of the things that just made
00:10:14.804 --> 00:10:16.138
One of the things that just made it... everything so good, i said
00:10:16.205 --> 00:10:17.640
It... everything so good, i said god, i know that you still love
00:10:17.707 --> 00:10:19.208
God, i know that you still love me just the same, and even
00:10:19.275 --> 00:10:20.309
Me just the same, and even though i don't do everything as
00:10:20.376 --> 00:10:22.111
Though i don't do everything as perfectly as i should, you love
00:10:22.178 --> 00:10:24.547
Perfectly as i should, you love me in spite of who i am. so, i
00:10:24.613 --> 00:10:27.016
Me in spite of who i am. so, i recognized that there was
00:10:27.083 --> 00:10:28.384
Recognized that there was something in me that needed to
00:10:28.451 --> 00:10:29.752
Something in me that needed to change, but i didn't come down
00:10:29.819 --> 00:10:31.987
Change, but i didn't come down on myself. i wasn't in
00:10:32.054 --> 00:10:33.189
On myself. i wasn't in condemnation. i know that god
00:10:33.255 --> 00:10:35.558
Condemnation. i know that god loves me independent of my
00:10:35.624 --> 00:10:38.594
Loves me independent of my performance. and if i don't
00:10:38.661 --> 00:10:41.163
Performance. and if i don't perform well, god still loves
00:10:41.230 --> 00:10:42.932
Perform well, god still loves me. boy, i tell you that's
00:10:42.998 --> 00:10:45.000
Me. boy, i tell you that's freeing. and there are some of
00:10:45.067 --> 00:10:47.136
Freeing. and there are some of you watching this program that
00:10:47.203 --> 00:10:48.304
You watching this program that you don't know that. your
00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:50.806
You don't know that. your relationship with god is on pins
00:10:50.873 --> 00:10:53.042
Relationship with god is on pins and needles because you just are
00:10:53.109 --> 00:10:55.644
And needles because you just are trying your hardest to do
00:10:55.711 --> 00:10:57.246
Trying your hardest to do everything right and hoping you
00:10:57.313 --> 00:10:59.181
Everything right and hoping you do enough that god would love
00:10:59.248 --> 00:11:00.683
Do enough that god would love you. i tell you there is so much
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:02.017
You. i tell you there is so much freedom in just running up a
00:11:02.084 --> 00:11:03.419
Freedom in just running up a white flag, surrendering and
00:11:03.486 --> 00:11:05.588
White flag, surrendering and saying god, you love me because
00:11:05.654 --> 00:11:07.790
Saying god, you love me because you're love not because
00:11:07.857 --> 00:11:09.091
You're love not because i'm lovely, and you
00:11:09.158 --> 00:11:10.392
I'm lovely, and you just rest in his love.
00:11:10.459 --> 00:11:11.794
That's what this is
00:11:11.861 --> 00:11:12.995
That's what this is saying. therefore being
00:11:13.062 --> 00:11:13.863
Saying. therefore being justified by faith, we have
00:11:13.929 --> 00:11:16.232
Justified by faith, we have peace with god through our lord
00:11:16.298 --> 00:11:18.134
Peace with god through our lord jesus christ. and in verse 2, it
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.169
Jesus christ. and in verse 2, it says, by whom also we have
00:11:20.236 --> 00:11:22.037
Says, by whom also we have access by faith into this grace.
00:11:22.104 --> 00:11:26.575
Now god's grace has come
00:11:26.642 --> 00:11:28.244
Now god's grace has come to the en... every... every
00:11:28.310 --> 00:11:29.812
To the en... every... every person in the entire world.
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.247
It says in titus, chapter
00:11:31.313 --> 00:11:32.681
It says in titus, chapter 2, verse 11, the grace
00:11:32.748 --> 00:11:34.183
2, verse 11, the grace of god that brings salvation
00:11:34.250 --> 00:11:36.085
Of god that brings salvation hath appeared unto all
00:11:36.152 --> 00:11:37.753
Hath appeared unto all men. that means every single
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:40.790
Person, male or female, mankind
00:11:40.856 --> 00:11:43.893
Person, male or female, mankind has had god's grace come to
00:11:43.959 --> 00:11:46.295
Has had god's grace come to them. and grace is defined as
00:11:46.362 --> 00:11:48.364
Them. and grace is defined as unearned, unmerited, undeserved
00:11:48.430 --> 00:11:50.666
Unearned, unmerited, undeserved favor. if it's unearned,
00:11:50.733 --> 00:11:52.535
Favor. if it's unearned, unmerited, undeserved, then that
00:11:52.601 --> 00:11:55.137
Unmerited, undeserved, then that means it goes to everybody. the
00:11:55.204 --> 00:11:57.373
Means it goes to everybody. the hitlers, the mussolinis, the
00:11:57.439 --> 00:12:00.242
Hitlers, the mussolinis, the genghis khans, everybody. god's
00:12:00.309 --> 00:12:03.379
Genghis khans, everybody. god's grace is the same towards
00:12:03.445 --> 00:12:05.314
Grace is the same towards everybody. well does that mean
00:12:05.381 --> 00:12:06.882
Everybody. well does that mean that all people are saved? no,
00:12:06.949 --> 00:12:08.984
Because it says we have access
00:12:09.051 --> 00:12:11.420
Because it says we have access by faith into this grace. god's
00:12:11.487 --> 00:12:14.790
By faith into this grace. god's grace is the same towards
00:12:14.857 --> 00:12:16.525
Everybody, but not everybody
00:12:16.592 --> 00:12:18.661
Everybody, but not everybody receives god's grace. there are
00:12:18.727 --> 00:12:20.896
Receives god's grace. there are people that just totally don't
00:12:20.963 --> 00:12:22.398
People that just totally don't even believe that there's a god
00:12:22.464 --> 00:12:23.833
Even believe that there's a god and so they put no faith in him.
00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:25.401
And so they put no faith in him. they don't believe that jesus
00:12:25.467 --> 00:12:26.635
They don't believe that jesus existed. they put no faith in
00:12:26.702 --> 00:12:28.137
Existed. they put no faith in him. there's other people that
00:12:28.204 --> 00:12:29.738
Him. there's other people that may acknowledge god and believe
00:12:29.805 --> 00:12:32.074
May acknowledge god and believe he exists, but they're trying to
00:12:32.141 --> 00:12:33.776
He exists, but they're trying to earn it on their own goodness,
00:12:33.843 --> 00:12:36.312
Earn it on their own goodness, and they aren't trusting in
00:12:36.378 --> 00:12:37.947
And they aren't trusting in jesus and so they aren't
00:12:38.013 --> 00:12:39.315
Jesus and so they aren't accessing his grace. they are
00:12:39.381 --> 00:12:41.383
Accessing his grace. they are trying to stand before him based
00:12:41.450 --> 00:12:43.118
Trying to stand before him based on their own merit, and that's
00:12:43.185 --> 00:12:44.854
On their own merit, and that's going to lead to utter
00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:45.888
Going to lead to utter destruction. but if... but god's
00:12:45.955 --> 00:12:49.692
Destruction. but if... but god's grace has come to every person.
00:12:49.758 --> 00:12:51.994
Grace has come to every person. but not every person has
00:12:52.061 --> 00:12:53.262
But not every person has accessed it by faith in what
00:12:53.329 --> 00:12:56.165
Accessed it by faith in what jesus did. their faith is in
00:12:56.232 --> 00:12:57.833
Jesus did. their faith is in what they're doing. boy, that is
00:12:57.900 --> 00:13:00.102
What they're doing. boy, that is a powerful, powerful statement.
00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:02.238
A powerful, powerful statement. let me just jump on down to some
00:13:02.304 --> 00:13:03.839
Let me just jump on down to some other verses here. again, i'm
00:13:03.906 --> 00:13:05.741
Other verses here. again, i'm just hitting the highlights. if
00:13:05.808 --> 00:13:06.609
You want to get every single
00:13:07.209 --> 00:13:08.911
Verse, this book right here
00:13:08.911 --> 00:13:10.946
Covers every verse in the book
00:13:10.946 --> 00:13:13.349
Of romans, 422 pages that will
00:13:13.349 --> 00:13:16.652
Go through every bit of that.
00:13:16.652 --> 00:13:18.387
It says in romans, chapter
00:13:18.454 --> 00:13:19.755
It says in romans, chapter 5, verse 8, but god commended
00:13:19.822 --> 00:13:21.957
5, verse 8, but god commended his love toward us, in that,
00:13:22.024 --> 00:13:24.326
His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
00:13:24.393 --> 00:13:26.195
While we were yet sinners, christ died for us. man,
00:13:26.262 --> 00:13:28.297
Christ died for us. man, this is so powerful.
00:13:28.364 --> 00:13:30.399
God didn't wait until we
00:13:30.466 --> 00:13:32.868
God didn't wait until we were somehow or another
00:13:32.935 --> 00:13:34.536
Were somehow or another trying to overcome everything.
00:13:34.603 --> 00:13:36.105
Trying to overcome everything. and we weren't perfect, but
00:13:36.171 --> 00:13:37.473
And we weren't perfect, but we were really trying hard,
00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:39.041
We were really trying hard, and we were living good
00:13:39.108 --> 00:13:40.442
And we were living good and because of that, god
00:13:40.509 --> 00:13:41.877
And because of that, god commended his love toward us.
00:13:41.944 --> 00:13:43.512
No, this said, god commended
00:13:43.579 --> 00:13:45.014
No, this said, god commended his love toward us, in that,
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.382
His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
00:13:46.448 --> 00:13:47.950
While we were yet sinners, christ died for us. the lord
00:13:48.017 --> 00:13:50.853
Didn't just come to people who
00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:52.655
Didn't just come to people who were relatively good and here
00:13:52.721 --> 00:13:54.657
Were relatively good and here you are trying to work your way
00:13:54.723 --> 00:13:56.158
You are trying to work your way to god. here's god, and you're
00:13:56.225 --> 00:13:57.459
To god. here's god, and you're trying, but you're falling
00:13:57.526 --> 00:13:58.594
Trying, but you're falling short, and so god just came and
00:13:58.661 --> 00:14:00.062
Short, and so god just came and boosted you and gave you a
00:14:00.129 --> 00:14:01.397
Boosted you and gave you a little bit of help. no, god came
00:14:01.463 --> 00:14:03.933
Little bit of help. no, god came to us when we were going our
00:14:03.999 --> 00:14:05.401
To us when we were going our other direction. you know there
00:14:05.467 --> 00:14:07.069
Other direction. you know there are people watching this program
00:14:07.136 --> 00:14:08.337
Are people watching this program right now that you have received
00:14:08.404 --> 00:14:10.572
Right now that you have received salvation. you are born again.
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.775
Salvation. you are born again. if you were to die, you would go
00:14:12.841 --> 00:14:14.109
If you were to die, you would go to heaven. and yet, when you got
00:14:14.176 --> 00:14:16.245
To heaven. and yet, when you got born again you weren't going to
00:14:16.312 --> 00:14:17.680
Born again you weren't going to church, you weren't paying your
00:14:17.746 --> 00:14:19.448
Church, you weren't paying your tithes. many of you were living
00:14:19.515 --> 00:14:21.016
Tithes. many of you were living in adultery. you were thieves.
00:14:21.083 --> 00:14:22.952
In adultery. you were thieves. you were liars. you were drunks.
00:14:23.018 --> 00:14:25.120
You were liars. you were drunks. you were addicts. and yet you
00:14:25.187 --> 00:14:27.289
You were addicts. and yet you came to jesus, and you received
00:14:27.356 --> 00:14:29.591
Came to jesus, and you received salvation completely separate
00:14:29.658 --> 00:14:32.761
Salvation completely separate from anything that you deserved.
00:14:32.828 --> 00:14:34.463
Man, that's awesome. but then,
00:14:36.598 --> 00:14:40.035
Man, that's awesome. but then, once you receive that salvation,
00:14:40.102 --> 00:14:42.338
Once you receive that salvation, you go to church. and sad to
00:14:42.404 --> 00:14:44.707
You go to church. and sad to say, most churches are saying
00:14:44.773 --> 00:14:46.108
Say, most churches are saying all right, if you want god to
00:14:46.175 --> 00:14:47.242
All right, if you want god to heal you, if you want him to
00:14:47.309 --> 00:14:48.344
Heal you, if you want him to bless you, you got to start
00:14:48.410 --> 00:14:50.079
Bless you, you got to start going to church, you got to
00:14:50.145 --> 00:14:51.280
Going to church, you got to pay... you got to... and you
00:14:51.347 --> 00:14:52.514
Pay... you got to... and you didn't have to do those things
00:14:52.581 --> 00:14:54.016
Didn't have to do those things to receive the greatest gift of
00:14:54.083 --> 00:14:55.718
To receive the greatest gift of salvation, but now you're taught
00:14:55.784 --> 00:14:57.386
Salvation, but now you're taught that you've got to do those
00:14:57.453 --> 00:14:58.487
That you've got to do those things to receive even the
00:14:58.554 --> 00:15:00.189
Things to receive even the smallest thing that
00:15:00.255 --> 00:15:01.223
Smallest thing that god wants to do in
00:15:01.290 --> 00:15:02.257
God wants to do in your life. that's wrong.
00:15:02.324 --> 00:15:04.293
It says in colossians,
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.095
It says in colossians, chapter 2, verse 6, as you have
00:15:06.161 --> 00:15:08.030
Chapter 2, verse 6, as you have therefore received christ jesus
00:15:08.097 --> 00:15:09.865
Therefore received christ jesus the lord, so walk ye in him. the
00:15:09.932 --> 00:15:12.868
Same way that you received, if
00:15:12.935 --> 00:15:14.069
Same way that you received, if you received salvation and god
00:15:14.136 --> 00:15:16.572
You received salvation and god commended his love towards you,
00:15:16.638 --> 00:15:17.840
Commended his love towards you, in that, while you were yet a
00:15:17.906 --> 00:15:18.941
In that, while you were yet a sinner, and you received
00:15:19.008 --> 00:15:21.210
Sinner, and you received salvation, then how much more
00:15:21.276 --> 00:15:22.745
Salvation, then how much more should you receive everything
00:15:22.811 --> 00:15:24.279
Should you receive everything else on the basis of mercy and
00:15:24.346 --> 00:15:26.548
Else on the basis of mercy and grace, and all you got to do is
00:15:26.615 --> 00:15:27.883
Grace, and all you got to do is just put faith in it to access
00:15:27.950 --> 00:15:29.852
Just put faith in it to access it. so let me read the next
00:15:29.918 --> 00:15:32.087
It. so let me read the next verse. and let me say this that
00:15:32.154 --> 00:15:34.723
Verse. and let me say this that romans, chapter 5, verse 8, has
00:15:34.790 --> 00:15:37.159
Romans, chapter 5, verse 8, has been taken out of context to say
00:15:37.226 --> 00:15:38.894
Been taken out of context to say that god commended his love
00:15:38.961 --> 00:15:40.496
That god commended his love toward us, in that, while we
00:15:40.562 --> 00:15:41.530
Toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, christ died
00:15:41.597 --> 00:15:42.765
Were yet sinners, christ died for us. that's a true statement.
00:15:42.831 --> 00:15:45.601
For us. that's a true statement. i'm not saying that that's not
00:15:45.667 --> 00:15:46.935
I'm not saying that that's not true. but that's not the point
00:15:47.002 --> 00:15:48.971
True. but that's not the point that's being made. what it is,
00:15:49.038 --> 00:15:51.240
That's being made. what it is, it's a comparison. and it's
00:15:51.306 --> 00:15:53.075
It's a comparison. and it's saying, if god loved us enough
00:15:53.142 --> 00:15:55.677
Saying, if god loved us enough to give us his love when we were
00:15:55.744 --> 00:15:58.113
To give us his love when we were still sinners, then the 9th
00:15:58.180 --> 00:16:00.015
Still sinners, then the 9th verse, is the point. it's
00:16:00.082 --> 00:16:01.316
Verse, is the point. it's making a comparison.
00:16:01.383 --> 00:16:02.718
Verse 9, says, much more
00:16:02.785 --> 00:16:04.586
Verse 9, says, much more then, being now justified
00:16:04.653 --> 00:16:06.989
Then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
00:16:07.056 --> 00:16:08.991
By his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
00:16:09.058 --> 00:16:10.959
Most people believe it's much
00:16:11.026 --> 00:16:12.428
Most people believe it's much less. i got saved by grace. i
00:16:12.494 --> 00:16:15.664
Less. i got saved by grace. i didn't have any goodness on my
00:16:15.731 --> 00:16:17.132
Didn't have any goodness on my own. i had to have a savior, so
00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:18.667
Own. i had to have a savior, so i got saved by grace but
00:16:18.734 --> 00:16:20.135
I got saved by grace but now i'm going to maintain my
00:16:20.202 --> 00:16:22.504
Now i'm going to maintain my relationship with god through my
00:16:22.571 --> 00:16:24.440
Relationship with god through my performance. and unless i start
00:16:24.506 --> 00:16:26.275
Performance. and unless i start doing these things, god won't
00:16:26.341 --> 00:16:27.709
Doing these things, god won't move in my life. if you would've
00:16:27.776 --> 00:16:29.311
Move in my life. if you would've had that attitude, you'd have
00:16:29.378 --> 00:16:30.479
Had that attitude, you'd have never gotten saved. because i
00:16:30.546 --> 00:16:32.681
Never gotten saved. because i guarantee you, you didn't have
00:16:32.748 --> 00:16:33.749
Guarantee you, you didn't have all this holiness and this
00:16:33.816 --> 00:16:35.050
All this holiness and this righteousness to ascribe to your
00:16:35.117 --> 00:16:37.486
Righteousness to ascribe to your actions before you got saved,
00:16:37.553 --> 00:16:39.555
Actions before you got saved, and yet you received the
00:16:39.621 --> 00:16:40.456
And yet you received the greatest miracle. so the point
00:16:40.522 --> 00:16:42.558
Greatest miracle. so the point being made is that if god loved
00:16:42.624 --> 00:16:44.393
Being made is that if god loved you enough to give his love
00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:45.594
You enough to give his love towards you in while you were
00:16:45.661 --> 00:16:46.695
Towards you in while you were yet a sinner, how much more does
00:16:46.762 --> 00:16:49.431
Yet a sinner, how much more does he love you now? and the
00:16:49.498 --> 00:16:50.833
He love you now? and the next verse puts those two
00:16:50.899 --> 00:16:52.367
Next verse puts those two things together in one verse.
00:16:52.434 --> 00:16:54.303
It says, for if, when we
00:16:54.369 --> 00:16:55.904
It says, for if, when we were enemies, we were
00:16:55.971 --> 00:16:57.639
Were enemies, we were reconciled to god by the
00:16:57.706 --> 00:16:59.308
Reconciled to god by the death of his son, much more,
00:16:59.374 --> 00:17:02.744
Death of his son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be
00:17:02.811 --> 00:17:04.880
Being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. the average
00:17:04.947 --> 00:17:08.050
Christian, their experience is
00:17:08.117 --> 00:17:10.252
Christian, their experience is that you got saved by grace, but
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.721
That you got saved by grace, but now much less does god love you
00:17:12.788 --> 00:17:15.691
Now much less does god love you now. he might've let you get by
00:17:15.757 --> 00:17:17.826
Now. he might've let you get by with things before you got born
00:17:17.893 --> 00:17:19.294
With things before you got born again, but now that you're his
00:17:19.361 --> 00:17:20.429
Again, but now that you're his child, boy, he's going to be
00:17:20.496 --> 00:17:21.597
Child, boy, he's going to be tough on you. and you, you
00:17:21.663 --> 00:17:23.532
Tough on you. and you, you might... he may levit you... let
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.067
Might... he may levit you... let you die and... and die of some
00:17:25.134 --> 00:17:27.269
You die and... and die of some sickness and go to heaven just
00:17:27.336 --> 00:17:29.471
Sickness and go to heaven just because you didn't read your
00:17:29.538 --> 00:17:30.606
Because you didn't read your bible, just because you had an
00:17:30.672 --> 00:17:32.007
Bible, just because you had an argument on the way to church.
00:17:32.074 --> 00:17:34.409
Argument on the way to church. and yet before you got born
00:17:34.476 --> 00:17:35.811
And yet before you got born again, you may have been a
00:17:35.878 --> 00:17:36.845
Again, you may have been a drunk, you may have been an
00:17:36.912 --> 00:17:38.013
Drunk, you may have been an addict, you may have been going
00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:39.314
Addict, you may have been going sleeping around and doing all
00:17:39.381 --> 00:17:40.716
Sleeping around and doing all things, and yet you received the
00:17:40.782 --> 00:17:41.783
Things, and yet you received the greatest gift of all, salvation,
00:17:41.850 --> 00:17:45.387
Greatest gift of all, salvation, when you hadn't done anything
00:17:45.454 --> 00:17:46.755
When you hadn't done anything good. i tell you this is
00:17:46.822 --> 00:17:49.124
Good. i tell you this is inconsistent. if god loved you
00:17:49.191 --> 00:17:51.527
Inconsistent. if god loved you enough to die for you when
00:17:51.593 --> 00:17:54.062
Enough to die for you when you... before you even knew him,
00:17:54.129 --> 00:17:55.697
You... before you even knew him, before you had ever made any
00:17:55.764 --> 00:17:57.132
Before you had ever made any commitment to him, how much
00:17:57.199 --> 00:17:59.935
Commitment to him, how much more does he love you now? not
00:18:00.002 --> 00:18:02.704
More does he love you now? not how much less, how much
00:18:02.771 --> 00:18:05.874
How much less, how much more. man, that is powerful.
00:18:05.941 --> 00:18:08.577
In the next verses it says,
00:18:08.644 --> 00:18:10.012
In the next verses it says, and not only so, but
00:18:10.078 --> 00:18:11.046
And not only so, but we also joy in god through
00:18:11.113 --> 00:18:12.614
We also joy in god through our lord jesus christ, by whom
00:18:12.681 --> 00:18:14.783
Our lord jesus christ, by whom we have now received the
00:18:14.850 --> 00:18:16.952
We have now received the atonement. this is just saying
00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:18.787
That christianity isn't pie in
00:18:18.854 --> 00:18:21.156
That christianity isn't pie in the sky by and by. it's steak
00:18:21.223 --> 00:18:22.824
The sky by and by. it's steak on the plate while you
00:18:22.891 --> 00:18:24.493
On the plate while you wait. we don't have to wait
00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:25.928
Wait. we don't have to wait until we get to heaven.
00:18:25.994 --> 00:18:27.062
It says in galatians,
00:18:27.129 --> 00:18:28.597
It says in galatians, chapter 1, verse 4 that jesus
00:18:28.664 --> 00:18:30.365
Chapter 1, verse 4 that jesus gave himself for our sins, that
00:18:30.432 --> 00:18:31.900
Gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this
00:18:31.967 --> 00:18:33.535
He might deliver us from this present evil world. not just the
00:18:33.602 --> 00:18:36.338
Present evil world. not just the one to come. but the present
00:18:36.405 --> 00:18:38.040
Evil world. we can have victory
00:18:38.707 --> 00:18:40.776
Right now. as jesus said in
00:18:40.776 --> 00:18:42.377
What's commonly called the
00:18:42.444 --> 00:18:43.512
What's commonly called the lord's prayer, matthew, chapter
00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:45.113
6, thy kingdom come. thy will
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:47.583
6, thy kingdom come. thy will be done on earth, as it is in
00:18:47.649 --> 00:18:50.018
Be done on earth, as it is in heaven. we don't have to wait to
00:18:50.085 --> 00:18:51.653
Get to heaven. we can bring
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.788
Get to heaven. we can bring heaven down here. we can walk in
00:18:52.854 --> 00:18:54.957
Heaven down here. we can walk in victory, joy, peace, health,
00:18:55.023 --> 00:18:57.626
Victory, joy, peace, health, prosperity. we can have these
00:18:57.693 --> 00:18:59.861
Prosperity. we can have these things here if you put faith in
00:18:59.928 --> 00:19:02.130
Things here if you put faith in what jesus did instead of tying
00:19:02.197 --> 00:19:05.267
What jesus did instead of tying all of god's blessing to what
00:19:05.334 --> 00:19:07.636
All of god's blessing to what you do. see, this is just said
00:19:07.703 --> 00:19:10.005
You do. see, this is just said over and over and over and over
00:19:10.072 --> 00:19:13.475
Over and over and over and over again in the book of romans.
00:19:13.542 --> 00:19:15.744
Again in the book of romans. this is the whole point that
00:19:15.811 --> 00:19:17.713
This is the whole point that he's making. and then in romans,
00:19:17.779 --> 00:19:21.149
He's making. and then in romans, chapter 5, verses 13, through
00:19:21.216 --> 00:19:23.919
Chapter 5, verses 13, through the end of this chapter, paul
00:19:23.986 --> 00:19:26.421
The end of this chapter, paul begins to make some of the
00:19:26.488 --> 00:19:28.257
Begins to make some of the most radical statements in
00:19:28.323 --> 00:19:30.859
Most radical statements in the entire word of god.
00:19:30.926 --> 00:19:32.227
And i have an entire
00:19:32.694 --> 00:19:33.996
Series. i got a book on
00:19:33.996 --> 00:19:35.464
This, a study guide, cds, dvds
00:19:35.464 --> 00:19:37.432
Entitled the true nature of
00:19:37.432 --> 00:19:39.735
God. and it's at least six
00:19:39.735 --> 00:19:41.336
Hours, could be nine hours'
00:19:41.336 --> 00:19:43.272
Worth of teaching. and...
00:19:43.272 --> 00:19:45.440
I just hadn't enough time
00:19:45.507 --> 00:19:47.109
I just hadn't enough time to go through that,
00:19:47.175 --> 00:19:47.943
To go through that, and i... i don't really have
00:19:48.010 --> 00:19:49.611
And i... i don't really have time to even mention all of
00:19:49.678 --> 00:19:51.246
Time to even mention all of this, because it is so radical
00:19:51.313 --> 00:19:52.748
This, because it is so radical what he's saying that if i was
00:19:52.814 --> 00:19:54.516
What he's saying that if i was to say some of these things that
00:19:54.583 --> 00:19:56.151
To say some of these things that the lord has shown me from these
00:19:56.218 --> 00:19:57.419
The lord has shown me from these verses, i can guarantee you most
00:19:57.486 --> 00:19:59.454
Verses, i can guarantee you most people would just explode like
00:19:59.521 --> 00:20:01.690
People would just explode like what are you saying, and i don't
00:20:01.757 --> 00:20:03.392
What are you saying, and i don't have time to defend it. so i'm
00:20:03.458 --> 00:20:05.794
Have time to defend it. so i'm not going to spend a lot of time
00:20:05.861 --> 00:20:07.396
Not going to spend a lot of time on it, but this, basically...
00:20:07.462 --> 00:20:10.065
On it, but this, basically... romans, chapter 5, verses 13,
00:20:10.132 --> 00:20:12.768
Romans, chapter 5, verses 13, through the end of the chapter
00:20:12.834 --> 00:20:14.636
Through the end of the chapter is just talking about that all
00:20:14.703 --> 00:20:16.738
Is just talking about that all of us were born in sin. we
00:20:16.805 --> 00:20:20.008
Of us were born in sin. we didn't have to do anything to
00:20:20.075 --> 00:20:21.410
Didn't have to do anything to become a sinner. let me just
00:20:21.476 --> 00:20:24.613
Become a sinner. let me just read one of these verses right
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:26.148
Here. it says in verse 14,
00:20:26.214 --> 00:20:28.216
Here. it says in verse 14, nevertheless death reign from
00:20:28.283 --> 00:20:30.152
Nevertheless death reign from adam to moses, even over them
00:20:30.218 --> 00:20:32.120
Adam to moses, even over them that had not sinned after
00:20:32.187 --> 00:20:33.455
That had not sinned after the similitude of adam's
00:20:33.522 --> 00:20:34.723
The similitude of adam's transgression. this means in the
00:20:34.790 --> 00:20:36.491
Same way there... we were born
00:20:36.558 --> 00:20:39.261
Same way there... we were born in sin, but we didn't sin the
00:20:39.328 --> 00:20:40.796
In sin, but we didn't sin the way that adam did where he was
00:20:40.862 --> 00:20:42.230
Way that adam did where he was an adult, and he knowingly went
00:20:42.297 --> 00:20:44.533
An adult, and he knowingly went against god. we were born in
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.169
Against god. we were born in sin. that was our nature. and
00:20:47.235 --> 00:20:49.104
It goes on and he says this in
00:20:49.171 --> 00:20:52.174
It goes on and he says this in verse 16, and not as it was by
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.710
Verse 16, and not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift:
00:20:54.776 --> 00:20:56.411
One that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to
00:20:56.478 --> 00:20:59.114
For the judgment was by one to condemnation. that's talking
00:20:59.181 --> 00:21:00.382
Condemnation. that's talking about adam. through adam every
00:21:00.449 --> 00:21:02.951
One of us became sinners. it's
00:21:03.018 --> 00:21:05.087
One of us became sinners. it's not your individual actions of
00:21:05.153 --> 00:21:07.055
Not your individual actions of sin that made you a sin...
00:21:07.122 --> 00:21:08.957
Sin that made you a sin... sinner. it was your sin nature
00:21:09.024 --> 00:21:11.927
Sinner. it was your sin nature that made you do those
00:21:11.993 --> 00:21:13.295
That made you do those individual actions of sin. god
00:21:13.362 --> 00:21:16.298
Individual actions of sin. god relates to us based on who we
00:21:16.365 --> 00:21:18.400
Relates to us based on who we are in the spirit. and before
00:21:18.467 --> 00:21:20.702
Are in the spirit. and before you're born again, i don't care
00:21:20.769 --> 00:21:22.304
You're born again, i don't care if you live a relatively holy
00:21:22.371 --> 00:21:24.639
If you live a relatively holy life, you are at your core a
00:21:24.706 --> 00:21:27.642
Life, you are at your core a sinner. you were born in sin.
00:21:27.709 --> 00:21:29.778
David said, in sin did my mother
00:21:29.845 --> 00:21:31.913
David said, in sin did my mother conceive me. that didn't mean
00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:33.715
That it was an adulterous
00:21:33.782 --> 00:21:34.750
That it was an adulterous relationship. it just means we
00:21:34.816 --> 00:21:36.118
Relationship. it just means we were all born sinners because of
00:21:36.184 --> 00:21:38.487
Were all born sinners because of adam's transgressions.
00:21:38.553 --> 00:21:39.888
Adam's transgressions. that's what this is saying.
00:21:39.955 --> 00:21:41.423
In the next verse, verse
00:21:41.490 --> 00:21:42.724
In the next verse, verse 17, it says, for if by one
00:21:42.791 --> 00:21:44.493
17, it says, for if by one man's offence, talking
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:46.528
Man's offence, talking about adam, death reigned by
00:21:46.595 --> 00:21:48.797
About adam, death reigned by one; much more they which
00:21:48.864 --> 00:21:50.198
One; much more they which receive abundance of grace and
00:21:50.265 --> 00:21:52.200
Receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
00:21:52.267 --> 00:21:53.602
Of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,
00:21:53.668 --> 00:21:55.537
Shall reign in life by one, jesus christ. the next verse
00:21:55.604 --> 00:21:57.472
Jesus christ. the next verse verse 18, therefore, as by the
00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:59.674
Verse 18, therefore, as by the offense of one, talking about
00:21:59.741 --> 00:22:01.610
Offense of one, talking about adam, judgment came upon all men
00:22:01.676 --> 00:22:04.780
Adam, judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the
00:22:04.846 --> 00:22:06.848
To condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free
00:22:06.915 --> 00:22:08.784
Righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
00:22:08.850 --> 00:22:10.452
Gift came upon all men unto justification of life. most
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.454
Justification of life. most people don't understand this.
00:22:12.521 --> 00:22:13.655
They think it's what they do
00:22:13.722 --> 00:22:15.056
They think it's what they do that makes them a sinner. but
00:22:15.123 --> 00:22:16.658
That makes them a sinner. but the scripture here is teaching
00:22:16.725 --> 00:22:17.926
The scripture here is teaching that it's your sin nature that
00:22:17.993 --> 00:22:20.195
That it's your sin nature that made you go out and live in sin.
00:22:20.262 --> 00:22:22.464
Made you go out and live in sin. and some people think, well
00:22:22.531 --> 00:22:23.298
And some people think, well that's not fair that i was born
00:22:23.365 --> 00:22:25.534
That's not fair that i was born a sinner even as a little baby.
00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:27.803
A sinner even as a little baby. what... what could i do? well
00:22:27.869 --> 00:22:29.571
What... what could i do? well one of the benefits of this is
00:22:29.638 --> 00:22:31.173
One of the benefits of this is in the same way that we all
00:22:31.239 --> 00:22:32.607
In the same way that we all became sinners through what one
00:22:32.674 --> 00:22:34.943
Became sinners through what one man did, now because of jesus,
00:22:35.010 --> 00:22:37.913
Man did, now because of jesus, we can all be made righteous
00:22:37.979 --> 00:22:40.682
We can all be made righteous through what one man did. in the
00:22:40.749 --> 00:22:43.084
Through what one man did. in the same way that you became a
00:22:43.151 --> 00:22:44.519
Same way that you became a sinner through adam, you became
00:22:44.586 --> 00:22:46.421
Sinner through adam, you became righteous through jesus, not
00:22:46.488 --> 00:22:48.290
Righteous through jesus, not through your actions. you... it
00:22:48.356 --> 00:22:49.558
Through your actions. you... it wasn't your actions that made
00:22:49.624 --> 00:22:50.926
Wasn't your actions that made you a sinner. it was adam's
00:22:50.992 --> 00:22:52.627
You a sinner. it was adam's action that made you a sinner.
00:22:52.694 --> 00:22:54.496
Action that made you a sinner. likewise, it is god's actions
00:22:54.563 --> 00:22:58.033
Likewise, it is god's actions that made you righteous
00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:59.835
That made you righteous if you will believe and
00:22:59.901 --> 00:23:01.470
If you will believe and if you will receive.
00:23:01.536 --> 00:23:04.306
>> when i got diagnosed
00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:05.674
With the ms,
00:23:05.674 --> 00:23:06.508
My whole life
00:23:06.508 --> 00:23:07.542
At that point changed.
00:23:07.542 --> 00:23:09.444
When you suffer,
00:23:09.444 --> 00:23:10.111
Then you suffer some more,
00:23:10.111 --> 00:23:11.580
There's nothing left.
00:23:11.580 --> 00:23:12.347
There's no will to live.
00:23:12.347 --> 00:23:13.248
Death actually looks great.
00:23:13.248 --> 00:23:15.350
That's where i was at.
00:23:15.350 --> 00:23:17.452
>> for years, jeremiah fought
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:19.521
Multiple sclerosis,
00:23:19.521 --> 00:23:21.356
A chronic disease,
00:23:21.356 --> 00:23:22.557
With symptoms that include pain,
00:23:22.557 --> 00:23:24.559
Fatigue, difficulty walking,
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.728
And depression.
00:23:26.728 --> 00:23:29.164
Years after i got diagnosed
00:23:29.231 --> 00:23:30.665
With ms, i ended up in a rehab,
00:23:30.665 --> 00:23:33.935
And i got saved
00:23:33.935 --> 00:23:35.337
And set free from drugs
00:23:35.337 --> 00:23:36.371
And alcohol, but i still had
00:23:36.371 --> 00:23:37.706
This incurable disease,
00:23:37.706 --> 00:23:39.007
Multiple sclerosis.
00:23:39.007 --> 00:23:41.176
I ended up in a nursing home.
00:23:41.176 --> 00:23:42.878
Everything that i used to
00:23:42.878 --> 00:23:44.279
Be able to do,
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:44.980
I couldn't really do anymore.
00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:47.782
They had put me on disability
00:23:47.849 --> 00:23:49.551
Because of the ms,

00:23:51.987 --> 00:23:52.988
Sitting in my bedroom one night
00:23:52.988 --> 00:23:54.422
And i asked god, i said,
00:23:54.422 --> 00:23:55.323
I need a teacher.
00:23:55.323 --> 00:23:56.191
