- >> welcome to our friday's
- 00:00:34.491 --> 00:00:35.625
- Broadcast of the gospel truth.
- 00:00:35.625 --> 00:00:37.827
- I've been teaching on
- 00:00:37.827 --> 00:00:39.028
- The word became flesh.
- 00:00:39.028 --> 00:00:40.763
- And last week i spent a lot of
- 00:00:40.763 --> 00:00:44.234
- Time talking about the authority
- 00:00:44.234 --> 00:00:46.269
- That god gave mankind.
- 00:00:46.336 --> 00:00:48.037
- That god gave mankind. i also talked about where
- 00:00:48.104 --> 00:00:49.606
- I also talked about where satan got his authority
- 00:00:49.672 --> 00:00:50.840
- Satan got his authority to...from.
- 00:00:50.907 --> 00:00:51.474
- To...from. it didn't come from god.
- 00:00:51.541 --> 00:00:52.375
- It didn't come from god. it came from us.
- 00:00:52.442 --> 00:00:53.209
- It came from us. he stole it from us
- 00:00:53.276 --> 00:00:54.444
- He stole it from us through deception,
- 00:00:54.511 --> 00:00:55.545
- Through deception, and we gave it to him.
- 00:00:55.612 --> 00:00:56.946
- And we gave it to him. and the reason i was talking
- 00:00:57.013 --> 00:00:57.814
- And the reason i was talking about those things is
- 00:00:57.881 --> 00:00:58.781
- About those things is because it fits into
- 00:00:58.848 --> 00:00:59.849
- Because it fits into the virgin birth of jesus.
- 00:00:59.916 --> 00:01:03.286
- The virgin birth of jesus. and that's what i've been
- 00:01:03.353 --> 00:01:03.953
- And that's what i've been talking about all of this
- 00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:05.188
- Talking about all of this week is how did
- 00:01:05.255 --> 00:01:06.422
- Week is how did the virgin birth happen?
- 00:01:06.489 --> 00:01:07.790
- The virgin birth happen? why did it happen?
- 00:01:07.857 --> 00:01:09.592
- Why did it happen? why was it that god had
- 00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:11.427
- Why was it that god had to become a man?
- 00:01:11.494 --> 00:01:13.329
- To become a man? and i've been talking about
- 00:01:13.396 --> 00:01:14.397
- And i've been talking about all of this this week.
- 00:01:14.464 --> 00:01:15.999
- All of this this week. today, i want to go into why
- 00:01:16.065 --> 00:01:18.968
- Today, i want to go into why jesus had to become a man.
- 00:01:19.035 --> 00:01:20.570
- Jesus had to become a man. first of all, it was
- 00:01:20.637 --> 00:01:21.304
- First of all, it was because a man had authority
- 00:01:21.371 --> 00:01:24.974
- Because a man had authority in this earth.
- 00:01:25.041 --> 00:01:25.742
- In this earth. and i've dealt with this
- 00:01:25.808 --> 00:01:26.442
- And i've dealt with this last week and to a large degree,
- 00:01:26.509 --> 00:01:28.411
- Last week and to a large degree, but god gave authority
- 00:01:28.478 --> 00:01:29.546
- But god gave authority over the earth to
- 00:01:29.612 --> 00:01:30.346
- Over the earth to physical human beings.
- 00:01:30.413 --> 00:01:31.848
- John, chapter 4, verse 24 says,
- 00:01:31.915 --> 00:01:34.150
- John, chapter 4, verse 24 says, god is a spirit...
- 00:01:34.217 --> 00:01:35.952
- God is a spirit... and so as a spirit,
- 00:01:36.019 --> 00:01:37.420
- God didn't have control,
- 00:01:37.487 --> 00:01:38.821
- God didn't have control, authority in the earth.
- 00:01:38.888 --> 00:01:41.191
- Authority in the earth. he had given it to mankind.
- 00:01:41.257 --> 00:01:43.259
- He had given it to mankind. and mankind of course gave it
- 00:01:43.326 --> 00:01:44.561
- And mankind of course gave it to the devil and so jesus had to
- 00:01:44.627 --> 00:01:47.263
- To the devil and so jesus had to become a man to have authority
- 00:01:47.330 --> 00:01:50.934
- Become a man to have authority in this earth.
- 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:51.801
- In this earth. and that's exactly
- 00:01:51.868 --> 00:01:52.669
- What john, chapter 5,
- 00:01:53.203 --> 00:01:54.437
- What john, chapter 5, verse 27 says,
- 00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:55.638
- Verse 27 says, he says, god had given him
- 00:01:55.705 --> 00:01:57.173
- He says, god had given him authority to execute judgment
- 00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:59.375
- Authority to execute judgment also, because he was
- 00:01:59.442 --> 00:02:01.177
- Also, because he was the son of man.
- 00:02:01.244 --> 00:02:02.312
- The son of man. that's referring to his
- 00:02:02.378 --> 00:02:03.046
- That's referring to his humanity side.
- 00:02:03.112 --> 00:02:05.215
- I also used this example,
- 00:02:05.281 --> 00:02:06.516
- I also used this example, and i didn't follow it on
- 00:02:06.583 --> 00:02:07.450
- And i didn't follow it on through to its conclusion,
- 00:02:07.517 --> 00:02:09.419
- Through to its conclusion, but i said earlier last week
- 00:02:09.485 --> 00:02:10.987
- But i said earlier last week that in a sense satan didn't
- 00:02:11.054 --> 00:02:12.522
- That in a sense satan didn't charge god with a frontal attack
- 00:02:12.589 --> 00:02:14.757
- Charge god with a frontal attack trying to overcome him.
- 00:02:14.824 --> 00:02:16.359
- Trying to overcome him. instead, he came to
- 00:02:16.426 --> 00:02:17.894
- Instead, he came to adam and eve,
- 00:02:17.961 --> 00:02:18.861
- Adam and eve, and his transgression against
- 00:02:18.928 --> 00:02:20.163
- And his transgression against god took place in
- 00:02:20.230 --> 00:02:21.664
- God took place in the garden of eden
- 00:02:21.731 --> 00:02:23.132
- The garden of eden and he took man as a hostage.
- 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.169
- And he took man as a hostage. god loved adam and eve so much
- 00:02:26.236 --> 00:02:28.271
- God loved adam and eve so much that even though he would've
- 00:02:28.338 --> 00:02:29.405
- That even though he would've been just to come down here
- 00:02:29.472 --> 00:02:31.007
- Been just to come down here and wipe adam and eve out,
- 00:02:31.074 --> 00:02:33.009
- And wipe adam and eve out, and satan, and fix this
- 00:02:33.076 --> 00:02:34.677
- And satan, and fix this whole mess, he could have
- 00:02:34.744 --> 00:02:36.179
- Whole mess, he could have done that as the owner.
- 00:02:36.246 --> 00:02:38.681
- Done that as the owner. he couldn't intervene
- 00:02:38.748 --> 00:02:40.550
- He couldn't intervene and just change the rules
- 00:02:40.617 --> 00:02:43.086
- And just change the rules because he had already sworn
- 00:02:43.152 --> 00:02:44.220
- Because he had already sworn to man that you have control
- 00:02:44.287 --> 00:02:45.822
- To man that you have control and authority.
- 00:02:45.888 --> 00:02:46.756
- And authority. so in a sense the way that satan
- 00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:48.925
- So in a sense the way that satan was able to exist after
- 00:02:48.992 --> 00:02:52.161
- Was able to exist after he transgressed against god,
- 00:02:52.228 --> 00:02:53.696
- He transgressed against god, is he had a hostage.
- 00:02:53.763 --> 00:02:55.565
- Is he had a hostage. adam and eve were hostages.
- 00:02:55.632 --> 00:02:57.533
- Adam and eve were hostages. they had willingly come under
- 00:02:57.600 --> 00:02:59.168
- They had willingly come under his control.
- 00:02:59.235 --> 00:03:00.270
- His control. and if god would have come
- 00:03:00.336 --> 00:03:01.471
- And if god would have come after satan, he would have
- 00:03:01.537 --> 00:03:02.538
- After satan, he would have had to come after adam and eve
- 00:03:02.605 --> 00:03:04.007
- Had to come after adam and eve too because they were
- 00:03:04.073 --> 00:03:05.108
- Too because they were participants in this rebellion.
- 00:03:05.174 --> 00:03:07.677
- Participants in this rebellion. and so, because of god's great
- 00:03:07.744 --> 00:03:09.279
- And so, because of god's great love for adam and eve,
- 00:03:09.345 --> 00:03:12.048
- Love for adam and eve, for humankind, mankind,
- 00:03:12.115 --> 00:03:14.717
- For humankind, mankind, he didn't wipe satan out
- 00:03:14.784 --> 00:03:17.020
- He didn't wipe satan out immediately and he allowed
- 00:03:17.086 --> 00:03:18.121
- Immediately and he allowed satan to be the god of
- 00:03:18.187 --> 00:03:19.555
- Satan to be the god of this world.
- 00:03:19.622 --> 00:03:20.089
- This world. but when jesus became a man,
- 00:03:20.156 --> 00:03:23.693
- But when jesus became a man, now god had a human body.
- 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:26.562
- Now god had a human body. now god was one of the hostages.
- 00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:30.133
- Now god was one of the hostages. and man, god entered in,
- 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.101
- And man, god entered in, and he took it to the devil.
- 00:03:32.168 --> 00:03:34.404
- And he took it to the devil. he defeated satan
- 00:03:34.470 --> 00:03:35.571
- He defeated satan in every way.
- 00:03:35.638 --> 00:03:36.239
- In every way. he cast demons out.
- 00:03:36.306 --> 00:03:37.473
- He cast demons out. he healed sickness, blindness,
- 00:03:37.540 --> 00:03:39.208
- He healed sickness, blindness, raised people from the dead,
- 00:03:39.275 --> 00:03:40.510
- Raised people from the dead, died and rose from the dead
- 00:03:40.576 --> 00:03:42.412
- Died and rose from the dead himself, and he overcame
- 00:03:42.478 --> 00:03:43.780
- Himself, and he overcame the devil.
- 00:03:43.846 --> 00:03:44.647
- The devil. and after he resurrected,
- 00:03:44.714 --> 00:03:46.916
- And after he resurrected, matthew, chapter 28,
- 00:03:46.983 --> 00:03:48.117
- Matthew, chapter 28, he says now all authority
- 00:03:48.184 --> 00:03:49.619
- He says now all authority in heaven and in earth is given
- 00:03:49.686 --> 00:03:51.954
- In heaven and in earth is given unto me.
- 00:03:52.021 --> 00:03:52.922
- Unto me. and then he said,
- 00:03:52.989 --> 00:03:53.456
- And then he said, go ye therefore...
- 00:03:53.523 --> 00:03:54.824
- Go ye therefore... now god always always had
- 00:03:54.891 --> 00:03:56.225
- Now god always always had authority in the heavens.
- 00:03:56.292 --> 00:03:57.727
- Authority in the heavens. he only gave authority
- 00:03:57.794 --> 00:03:58.795
- He only gave authority over the earth to people,
- 00:03:58.861 --> 00:04:00.129
- Over the earth to people, but he didn't give authority
- 00:04:00.196 --> 00:04:01.230
- But he didn't give authority over the heavens to people.
- 00:04:01.297 --> 00:04:02.732
- When jesus wrote and said.
- 00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:03.933
- When jesus wrote and said. all authority is now given
- 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.702
- All authority is now given unto me in heaven and in earth.
- 00:04:05.768 --> 00:04:08.471
- That was a reference to the fact
- 00:04:08.538 --> 00:04:10.006
- That was a reference to the fact that he had conquered satan.
- 00:04:10.073 --> 00:04:11.708
- That he had conquered satan. he had been to hell.
- 00:04:11.774 --> 00:04:12.942
- He had been to hell. he took the keys of hell
- 00:04:13.009 --> 00:04:14.544
- He took the keys of hell and of death, and satan's power
- 00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:16.879
- And of death, and satan's power was stripped.
- 00:04:16.946 --> 00:04:17.647
- Was stripped. and now god is reigning
- 00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:20.450
- And now god is reigning through his people.
- 00:04:20.516 --> 00:04:21.284
- Through his people. once again, people have
- 00:04:21.351 --> 00:04:22.952
- Once again, people have authority but this time
- 00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:24.253
- Authority but this time it's different than what
- 00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:25.321
- It's different than what happened to adam and eve.
- 00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:28.291
- Happened to adam and eve. because god gave adam and eve
- 00:04:28.358 --> 00:04:30.059
- Because god gave adam and eve unconditional authority over
- 00:04:30.126 --> 00:04:32.528
- Unconditional authority over this earth, and they blew it
- 00:04:32.595 --> 00:04:34.464
- This earth, and they blew it and just turned the devil loose.
- 00:04:34.530 --> 00:04:36.766
- And just turned the devil loose. but now the authority
- 00:04:36.833 --> 00:04:37.834
- But now the authority that we have, we are
- 00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:39.268
- Joint heirs with christ, is what
- 00:04:39.335 --> 00:04:41.871
- Joint heirs with christ, is what the scripture says in
- 00:04:41.938 --> 00:04:42.638
- The scripture says in romans, chapter 8.
- 00:04:42.705 --> 00:04:44.407
- You know, when you have
- 00:04:44.474 --> 00:04:45.241
- You know, when you have a joint checking account,
- 00:04:45.308 --> 00:04:46.242
- A joint checking account, that means it takes
- 00:04:46.309 --> 00:04:47.110
- That means it takes two signatures.
- 00:04:47.176 --> 00:04:48.211
- Two signatures. one signature can't
- 00:04:48.277 --> 00:04:49.245
- One signature can't cash a check or make
- 00:04:49.312 --> 00:04:50.413
- Cash a check or make a withdrawal.
- 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.215
- A withdrawal. adam had sole control.
- 00:04:52.281 --> 00:04:54.784
- Adam had sole control. he could just write a check
- 00:04:54.851 --> 00:04:56.018
- He could just write a check and give the authority
- 00:04:56.085 --> 00:04:58.187
- And give the authority that god had given him
- 00:04:58.254 --> 00:04:59.355
- That god had given him over the earth over to the devil
- 00:04:59.422 --> 00:05:01.057
- Over the earth over to the devil and it... and it was working
- 00:05:01.124 --> 00:05:02.425
- And it... and it was working with only his signature.
- 00:05:02.492 --> 00:05:04.427
- With only his signature. but now we are joint heirs
- 00:05:04.494 --> 00:05:06.129
- But now we are joint heirs with christ and even if we were
- 00:05:06.195 --> 00:05:07.797
- With christ and even if we were to sell out and if we were to
- 00:05:07.864 --> 00:05:09.298
- To sell out and if we were to once again blow it and just
- 00:05:09.365 --> 00:05:10.967
- Once again blow it and just yield ourself to the devil,
- 00:05:11.033 --> 00:05:12.969
- Yield ourself to the devil, jesus is never going to
- 00:05:13.035 --> 00:05:14.003
- Jesus is never going to put his name on that.
- 00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:15.538
- Put his name on that. and so our authority is secure.
- 00:05:15.605 --> 00:05:18.274
- And so our authority is secure. we can do ourself damage.
- 00:05:18.341 --> 00:05:19.709
- We can do ourself damage. we can go out and yield to
- 00:05:19.776 --> 00:05:21.110
- We can go out and yield to the devil and satan can take
- 00:05:21.177 --> 00:05:22.712
- The devil and satan can take advantage of us personally,
- 00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:24.547
- Advantage of us personally, but it's not going to
- 00:05:24.614 --> 00:05:25.248
- But it's not going to affect the kingdom.
- 00:05:25.314 --> 00:05:26.215
- Affect the kingdom. god will never lose
- 00:05:26.282 --> 00:05:27.216
- God will never lose control again because it's
- 00:05:27.283 --> 00:05:28.217
- Control again because it's a joint heirship and he is not
- 00:05:28.284 --> 00:05:30.953
- A joint heirship and he is not going to ju...side with you
- 00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:33.022
- Going to ju...side with you and he'll always have enough
- 00:05:33.089 --> 00:05:34.123
- And he'll always have enough of his people to side with him
- 00:05:34.190 --> 00:05:36.259
- Of his people to side with him that praise god, he can take it
- 00:05:36.325 --> 00:05:37.860
- That praise god, he can take it to the devil.
- 00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:38.895
- To the devil. so anyway, those are a lot of
- 00:05:38.961 --> 00:05:39.829
- So anyway, those are a lot of the things that we've already
- 00:05:39.896 --> 00:05:40.730
- The things that we've already talked about.
- 00:05:40.797 --> 00:05:41.898
- It says over here in genesis,
- 00:05:41.964 --> 00:05:43.266
- It says over here in genesis, chapter 2, and in verse 16
- 00:05:43.332 --> 00:05:46.269
- Chapter 2, and in verse 16 it says, and the lord god
- 00:05:46.335 --> 00:05:47.670
- It says, and the lord god commanded the man, saying,
- 00:05:47.737 --> 00:05:48.871
- Commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden
- 00:05:48.938 --> 00:05:50.239
- Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
- 00:05:50.306 --> 00:05:52.208
- Thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge
- 00:05:52.275 --> 00:05:53.443
- But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
- 00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:54.343
- Of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
- 00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:56.412
- Thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest
- 00:05:56.479 --> 00:05:57.880
- For in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
- 00:05:57.947 --> 00:06:01.584
- Did you know this phrase
- 00:06:01.651 --> 00:06:02.385
- Did you know this phrase surely die, if you look it up
- 00:06:02.452 --> 00:06:04.620
- Surely die, if you look it up in the hebrew it literally,
- 00:06:04.687 --> 00:06:06.722
- In the hebrew it literally, it says you shall die, die.
- 00:06:06.789 --> 00:06:09.158
- It says you shall die, die. it repeated the word.
- 00:06:09.225 --> 00:06:11.727
- It repeated the word. so when it says you shall surely
- 00:06:11.794 --> 00:06:12.829
- So when it says you shall surely die, it says you shall die, die.
- 00:06:12.895 --> 00:06:14.797
- Die, it says you shall die, die. one of the translations
- 00:06:14.864 --> 00:06:15.865
- One of the translations that i looked at says...
- 00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:17.066
- That i looked at says... dying you shall die.
- 00:06:17.133 --> 00:06:19.469
- Dying you shall die. what happened is when
- 00:06:19.535 --> 00:06:20.670
- What happened is when adam and eve ate of the tree
- 00:06:20.736 --> 00:06:22.538
- Adam and eve ate of the tree and rebelled at god,
- 00:06:22.605 --> 00:06:24.140
- And rebelled at god, they died spiritually.
- 00:06:24.207 --> 00:06:26.709
- They died spiritually. that doesn't mean that their
- 00:06:26.776 --> 00:06:27.610
- That doesn't mean that their spirit quit functioning.
- 00:06:27.677 --> 00:06:29.512
- Spirit quit functioning. it still functioned,
- 00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:30.847
- It still functioned, but it was separated.
- 00:06:30.913 --> 00:06:32.048
- But it was separated. this is what separ...this...
- 00:06:32.114 --> 00:06:33.182
- This is what separ...this... separation is what death means
- 00:06:33.249 --> 00:06:35.985
- Separation is what death means in the bible.
- 00:06:36.052 --> 00:06:37.386
- In the bible. separation to carnal man,
- 00:06:37.453 --> 00:06:40.256
- Separation to carnal man, modern car...carnal man
- 00:06:40.323 --> 00:06:42.792
- Modern car...carnal man has come to mean like the end,
- 00:06:42.859 --> 00:06:45.294
- Has come to mean like the end, final, over, there's nothing
- 00:06:45.361 --> 00:06:46.496
- Final, over, there's nothing that exists.
- 00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:47.864
- That exists. there's a lot of people
- 00:06:47.930 --> 00:06:48.431
- There's a lot of people that don't believe there is
- 00:06:48.498 --> 00:06:49.699
- That don't believe there is anything outside of this
- 00:06:49.765 --> 00:06:51.033
- Anything outside of this physical realm and they think
- 00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.101
- Physical realm and they think that when you just die,
- 00:06:52.168 --> 00:06:53.503
- That when you just die, you're dead and there is
- 00:06:53.569 --> 00:06:54.904
- You're dead and there is nothing else.
- 00:06:54.971 --> 00:06:55.671
- Nothing else. that's not what
- 00:06:55.738 --> 00:06:56.272
- That's not what the bible teaches.
- 00:06:56.339 --> 00:06:57.573
- The bible teaches. there is a spiritual world
- 00:06:57.640 --> 00:06:59.742
- There is a spiritual world and there's a spirit not only
- 00:06:59.809 --> 00:07:01.210
- And there's a spirit not only out there but inside of you.
- 00:07:01.277 --> 00:07:03.312
- It says in james, chapter 2,
- 00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:05.915
- It says in james, chapter 2, and verse 26, i believe it is.
- 00:07:05.982 --> 00:07:07.617
- And verse 26, i believe it is. it says, as the body without
- 00:07:07.683 --> 00:07:09.352
- It says, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith
- 00:07:09.418 --> 00:07:11.787
- The spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
- 00:07:11.854 --> 00:07:13.723
- The spirit part of you is
- 00:07:13.789 --> 00:07:15.491
- The spirit part of you is what gives life to you.
- 00:07:15.558 --> 00:07:17.360
- What gives life to you. the spirit is
- 00:07:17.426 --> 00:07:18.127
- The spirit is the life- giving part.
- 00:07:18.194 --> 00:07:19.896
- The life- giving part. and one of the great problems
- 00:07:19.962 --> 00:07:21.230
- And one of the great problems that we have today is
- 00:07:21.297 --> 00:07:22.131
- That we have today is people don't know this.
- 00:07:22.198 --> 00:07:23.900
- People don't know this. and they're looking for life,
- 00:07:23.966 --> 00:07:25.668
- And they're looking for life, they're looking for their
- 00:07:25.735 --> 00:07:26.636
- They're looking for their existence, their validation,
- 00:07:26.702 --> 00:07:29.405
- Existence, their validation, their sense of worth and value
- 00:07:29.472 --> 00:07:31.440
- Their sense of worth and value in just physical things.
- 00:07:31.507 --> 00:07:33.609
- In just physical things. like the size house
- 00:07:33.676 --> 00:07:34.810
- Like the size house that they have, car or jewelry,
- 00:07:34.877 --> 00:07:36.679
- That they have, car or jewelry, gold, fame, all of these
- 00:07:36.746 --> 00:07:38.915
- Gold, fame, all of these kind of things.
- 00:07:38.981 --> 00:07:40.116
- But a man's life does not
- 00:07:40.182 --> 00:07:41.684
- But a man's life does not consist in the abundance of
- 00:07:41.751 --> 00:07:43.452
- Consist in the abundance of the things that he possesses.
- 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.588
- We are spirit beings,
- 00:07:45.655 --> 00:07:47.023
- We are spirit beings, and we were in one with god.
- 00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:49.225
- And we were in one with god. we were in union with him
- 00:07:49.292 --> 00:07:50.927
- We were in union with him and that's what gave us life.
- 00:07:50.993 --> 00:07:53.062
- And that's what gave us life. when adam and eve ate of this,
- 00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:54.897
- When adam and eve ate of this, they died spiritually first.
- 00:07:54.964 --> 00:07:57.533
- They died spiritually first. they were separated from god.
- 00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.068
- They were separated from god. that spirit was still there.
- 00:07:59.135 --> 00:08:00.403
- That spirit was still there. it's still functional,
- 00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:02.004
- It's still functional, but it was functioning now
- 00:08:02.071 --> 00:08:03.272
- But it was functioning now independent of god.
- 00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:05.708
- Independent of god. and then, as a result of
- 00:08:05.775 --> 00:08:07.910
- And then, as a result of the spiritual death
- 00:08:07.977 --> 00:08:09.045
- The spiritual death that took place,
- 00:08:09.111 --> 00:08:10.379
- That took place, the physical death took place.
- 00:08:10.446 --> 00:08:12.181
- The physical death took place. for adam it was 960 years later.
- 00:08:12.248 --> 00:08:15.117
- For adam it was 960 years later. but this is what
- 00:08:15.184 --> 00:08:15.785
- It's referring to.
- 00:08:15.851 --> 00:08:16.485
- It's referring to. in the day that you eat
- 00:08:16.552 --> 00:08:17.386
- In the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.
- 00:08:17.453 --> 00:08:19.488
- You shall die instantly at
- 00:08:19.555 --> 00:08:21.591
- You shall die instantly at that moment spiritually,
- 00:08:21.657 --> 00:08:23.326
- That moment spiritually, but then eventually that will
- 00:08:23.392 --> 00:08:24.727
- But then eventually that will lead to a physical death
- 00:08:24.794 --> 00:08:26.896
- Lead to a physical death later on in your body.
- 00:08:26.963 --> 00:08:29.699
- And so, the wages of sin
- 00:08:29.765 --> 00:08:31.601
- And so, the wages of sin is death.
- 00:08:31.667 --> 00:08:32.635
- Is death. this is what it says in
- 00:08:32.702 --> 00:08:33.402
- This is what it says in romans, chapter 6, verse 23,
- 00:08:33.469 --> 00:08:35.705
- Romans, chapter 6, verse 23, the wages of sin is death.
- 00:08:35.771 --> 00:08:38.608
- The wages of sin is death. but it goes on to say,
- 00:08:38.674 --> 00:08:39.375
- But it goes on to say, but the gift of god is
- 00:08:39.442 --> 00:08:40.476
- But the gift of god is eternal life.
- 00:08:40.543 --> 00:08:41.611
- But you've got to understand
- 00:08:41.677 --> 00:08:42.812
- But you've got to understand that when man sinned
- 00:08:42.878 --> 00:08:44.880
- That when man sinned that meant they were doomed
- 00:08:44.947 --> 00:08:47.116
- That meant they were doomed to death.
- 00:08:47.183 --> 00:08:48.884
- To death. but because of god's great
- 00:08:48.951 --> 00:08:50.319
- But because of god's great love for us,
- 00:08:50.386 --> 00:08:52.121
- Love for us, god under the old covenant
- 00:08:52.188 --> 00:08:53.789
- God under the old covenant instituted a sacrificial system
- 00:08:53.856 --> 00:08:56.692
- Instituted a sacrificial system where when you sinned,
- 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.394
- Where when you sinned, you could take an animal
- 00:08:58.461 --> 00:08:59.795
- You could take an animal and you could slit its throat
- 00:08:59.862 --> 00:09:01.397
- And you could slit its throat and shed its blood
- 00:09:01.464 --> 00:09:04.133
- And shed its blood and you could offer this
- 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.101
- And you could offer this animal as a sacrifice.
- 00:09:05.167 --> 00:09:08.004
- Animal as a sacrifice. and that...that animal
- 00:09:08.070 --> 00:09:09.739
- And that...that animal was just a picture.
- 00:09:09.805 --> 00:09:10.940
- Was just a picture. it was a type, a shadow of
- 00:09:11.007 --> 00:09:12.875
- It was a type, a shadow of what jesus was going to do.
- 00:09:12.942 --> 00:09:14.644
- The bible calls jesus the lamb
- 00:09:14.710 --> 00:09:16.379
- The bible calls jesus the lamb that was slain from
- 00:09:16.445 --> 00:09:17.313
- That was slain from the foundation of the world.
- 00:09:17.380 --> 00:09:19.181
- John the baptist,
- 00:09:19.248 --> 00:09:20.149
- John the baptist, the one who announced jesus
- 00:09:20.216 --> 00:09:21.617
- The one who announced jesus and...and water baptized him
- 00:09:21.684 --> 00:09:23.419
- And...and water baptized him in the jordan river,
- 00:09:23.486 --> 00:09:24.654
- In the jordan river, when he saw jesus, he says,
- 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:25.855
- Behold the lamb of god
- 00:09:25.921 --> 00:09:28.724
- Behold the lamb of god that takes away the sin
- 00:09:28.791 --> 00:09:29.792
- That takes away the sin of the world.
- 00:09:29.859 --> 00:09:31.327
- And so jesus, all of these
- 00:09:31.394 --> 00:09:33.162
- And so jesus, all of these old testament sacrifices were
- 00:09:33.229 --> 00:09:34.797
- Old testament sacrifices were pointing towards jesus.
- 00:09:34.864 --> 00:09:36.232
- Pointing towards jesus. he was going to be ultimately
- 00:09:36.298 --> 00:09:37.800
- He was going to be ultimately the sacrifice for our sins.
- 00:09:37.867 --> 00:09:40.970
- The sacrifice for our sins. but until jesus came,
- 00:09:41.037 --> 00:09:43.939
- But until jesus came, the people needed to be aware
- 00:09:44.006 --> 00:09:45.241
- The people needed to be aware that every time you sinned,
- 00:09:45.307 --> 00:09:47.276
- That every time you sinned, death is the result of that sin.
- 00:09:47.343 --> 00:09:49.278
- Death is the result of that sin. something has to die.
- 00:09:49.345 --> 00:09:51.113
- Something has to die. and rather than god killing us
- 00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:53.015
- And rather than god killing us individually every single
- 00:09:53.082 --> 00:09:54.884
- Individually every single time we sinned,
- 00:09:54.950 --> 00:09:56.419
- Time we sinned, under the old covenant
- 00:09:56.485 --> 00:09:57.953
- Under the old covenant he allowed us to substitute
- 00:09:58.020 --> 00:09:59.889
- He allowed us to substitute an animal and take an innocent
- 00:09:59.955 --> 00:10:01.824
- An animal and take an innocent animal, like a lamb, and slit
- 00:10:01.891 --> 00:10:04.794
- Animal, like a lamb, and slit its throat and cause it to die
- 00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:07.029
- Its throat and cause it to die because of your sin,
- 00:10:07.096 --> 00:10:08.431
- Because of your sin, because of my sin.
- 00:10:08.497 --> 00:10:10.099
- Because of my sin. it was a constant reminder
- 00:10:10.166 --> 00:10:12.068
- It was a constant reminder to the people that your sin
- 00:10:12.134 --> 00:10:13.903
- To the people that your sin has a consequence.
- 00:10:13.969 --> 00:10:14.937
- Has a consequence. there is a payday.
- 00:10:15.004 --> 00:10:15.971
- There is a payday. the wages of sin is death...
- 00:10:16.038 --> 00:10:19.675
- The wages of sin is death... and that's what all of
- 00:10:19.742 --> 00:10:20.276
- And that's what all of these old testament
- 00:10:20.342 --> 00:10:21.143
- These old testament sacrifice pictured.
- 00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:23.412
- Sacrifice pictured. but when jesus came,
- 00:10:23.479 --> 00:10:25.548
- But when jesus came, this is one of the reasons
- 00:10:25.614 --> 00:10:26.716
- This is one of the reasons jesus had to become a man.
- 00:10:26.782 --> 00:10:29.952
- Jesus had to become a man. there had to be somebody
- 00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:30.786
- There had to be somebody die because the wages of sin
- 00:10:30.853 --> 00:10:32.188
- Die because the wages of sin is death...
- 00:10:32.254 --> 00:10:33.289
- Is death... some people think that god,
- 00:10:33.355 --> 00:10:34.523
- Some people think that god, because he's god, he could just
- 00:10:34.590 --> 00:10:35.858
- Because he's god, he could just say alright, i'm going to
- 00:10:35.925 --> 00:10:36.892
- Say alright, i'm going to forgive you all.
- 00:10:36.959 --> 00:10:37.727
- Forgive you all. you all have totally
- 00:10:37.793 --> 00:10:38.594
- You all have totally screwed everything up.
- 00:10:38.661 --> 00:10:39.729
- Screwed everything up. you've messed up, everything,
- 00:10:39.795 --> 00:10:40.996
- You've messed up, everything, but i'm just going to
- 00:10:41.063 --> 00:10:41.731
- But i'm just going to forgive you.
- 00:10:41.797 --> 00:10:42.231
- Forgive you. i'm going to let it go.
- 00:10:42.298 --> 00:10:43.566
- I'm going to let it go. god can't do that
- 00:10:43.632 --> 00:10:44.433
- God can't do that because he's holy.
- 00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:45.801
- Because he's holy. he's just.
- 00:10:45.868 --> 00:10:47.303
- He's just. there is a wage of sin.
- 00:10:47.369 --> 00:10:48.904
- There is a wage of sin. the wages of sin is death...
- 00:10:48.971 --> 00:10:50.773
- The wages of sin is death... he would be unjust to just say,
- 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:52.608
- He would be unjust to just say, alright, i'm going to let you go
- 00:10:52.675 --> 00:10:53.876
- Alright, i'm going to let you go without any payment.
- 00:10:53.943 --> 00:10:55.544
- Without any payment. no, god is just.
- 00:10:55.611 --> 00:10:57.847
- No, god is just. i don't know how to convey this,
- 00:10:57.913 --> 00:10:59.448
- I don't know how to convey this, but when we don't like
- 00:10:59.515 --> 00:11:01.450
- But when we don't like something, we can just change
- 00:11:01.517 --> 00:11:03.085
- Something, we can just change and say well i'll change
- 00:11:03.152 --> 00:11:03.919
- And say well i'll change my word.
- 00:11:03.986 --> 00:11:04.653
- My word. i don't care what
- 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:05.221
- I don't care what i promised you.
- 00:11:05.287 --> 00:11:05.955
- I promised you. this is what i'm going to do.
- 00:11:06.021 --> 00:11:07.156
- This is what i'm going to do. god's not like that.
- 00:11:07.223 --> 00:11:09.058
- God's not like that. god changes not.
- 00:11:09.125 --> 00:11:10.126
- God changes not. it's impossible for god to lie.
- 00:11:10.192 --> 00:11:12.394
- It's impossible for god to lie. if he said that you're going to
- 00:11:12.461 --> 00:11:13.562
- If he said that you're going to die if you eat of this tree,
- 00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:15.264
- Die if you eat of this tree, well then you're going to die.
- 00:11:15.331 --> 00:11:17.800
- Well then you're going to die. that's just the...
- 00:11:17.867 --> 00:11:18.467
- That's just the... the way that god is.
- 00:11:18.534 --> 00:11:19.802
- The way that god is. somebody's got to die.
- 00:11:19.869 --> 00:11:21.904
- Somebody's got to die. and so jesus had to become
- 00:11:21.971 --> 00:11:24.206
- And so jesus had to become a man and jesus had to die
- 00:11:24.273 --> 00:11:26.842
- A man and jesus had to die for our sins.
- 00:11:26.909 --> 00:11:27.843
- For our sins. you know i heard an example once
- 00:11:27.910 --> 00:11:29.345
- You know i heard an example once about a man who was a judge.
- 00:11:29.411 --> 00:11:31.447
- About a man who was a judge. and this guy got
- 00:11:31.514 --> 00:11:32.214
- And this guy got a speeding ticket and he was
- 00:11:32.281 --> 00:11:33.682
- A speeding ticket and he was brought in before the judge,
- 00:11:33.749 --> 00:11:35.117
- Brought in before the judge, and so when he went in before
- 00:11:35.184 --> 00:11:36.152
- And so when he went in before the judge, he recognized
- 00:11:36.218 --> 00:11:37.186
- The judge, he recognized that the judge was
- 00:11:37.253 --> 00:11:38.020
- That the judge was his good friend.
- 00:11:38.087 --> 00:11:39.822
- His good friend. and he thought, boy,
- 00:11:39.889 --> 00:11:40.456
- And he thought, boy, this is great.
- 00:11:40.523 --> 00:11:41.223
- This is great. the judge is going to
- 00:11:41.290 --> 00:11:41.824
- The judge is going to give me mercy.
- 00:11:41.891 --> 00:11:43.392
- Give me mercy. and so, he presented his case.
- 00:11:43.459 --> 00:11:44.860
- And so, he presented his case. the police officer presented
- 00:11:44.927 --> 00:11:47.229
- The police officer presented his case.
- 00:11:47.296 --> 00:11:48.230
- His case. and he was guilty, and so
- 00:11:48.297 --> 00:11:49.165
- And he was guilty, and so the judge hits the gavel
- 00:11:49.231 --> 00:11:50.499
- The judge hits the gavel and says, you're guilty.
- 00:11:50.566 --> 00:11:52.067
- And says, you're guilty. you're fined $150,
- 00:11:52.134 --> 00:11:53.836
- You're fined $150, or whatever it was.
- 00:11:53.903 --> 00:11:55.337
- Or whatever it was. and this guy was just crushed
- 00:11:55.404 --> 00:11:56.505
- And this guy was just crushed because, i thought you were
- 00:11:56.572 --> 00:11:57.339
- Because, i thought you were my friend.
- 00:11:57.406 --> 00:11:59.642
- My friend. and so the judge gets up,
- 00:11:59.708 --> 00:12:01.143
- And so the judge gets up, walks around from behind his
- 00:12:01.210 --> 00:12:03.112
- Walks around from behind his desk, takes his robes off,
- 00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:05.347
- Desk, takes his robes off, and he says, i am your friend.
- 00:12:05.414 --> 00:12:07.082
- And he says, i am your friend. but he says, as judge i had to
- 00:12:07.149 --> 00:12:08.984
- But he says, as judge i had to give you what justice demands.
- 00:12:09.051 --> 00:12:10.953
- Give you what justice demands. and so he says, i gave you
- 00:12:11.020 --> 00:12:13.055
- And so he says, i gave you the penalty.
- 00:12:13.122 --> 00:12:13.856
- The penalty. i present...i...i pronounced you
- 00:12:13.923 --> 00:12:16.025
- I present...i...i pronounced you guilty and assessed a fine.
- 00:12:16.091 --> 00:12:18.160
- Guilty and assessed a fine. but then he pulled out
- 00:12:18.227 --> 00:12:19.195
- But then he pulled out his wallet and paid the fine
- 00:12:19.261 --> 00:12:22.231
- His wallet and paid the fine for the man.
- 00:12:22.298 --> 00:12:22.865
- For the man. and he says, because i'm your
- 00:12:22.932 --> 00:12:23.866
- And he says, because i'm your friend i'll take your place.
- 00:12:23.933 --> 00:12:26.368
- Friend i'll take your place. in a sense that's what god did.
- 00:12:26.435 --> 00:12:28.003
- In a sense that's what god did. god couldn't just say,
- 00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:28.904
- God couldn't just say, well i'm going to
- 00:12:28.971 --> 00:12:29.371
- Well i'm going to let you all go.
- 00:12:29.438 --> 00:12:30.272
- Let you all go. man, the human race is...
- 00:12:30.339 --> 00:12:32.274
- Man, the human race is... the millions, billions of people
- 00:12:32.341 --> 00:12:34.210
- The millions, billions of people that have been killed.
- 00:12:34.276 --> 00:12:35.144
- That have been killed. the incest, the rape,
- 00:12:35.211 --> 00:12:36.645
- The incest, the rape, the murder, the hatred,
- 00:12:36.712 --> 00:12:38.414
- The murder, the hatred, i'm just going to forget it.
- 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.915
- I'm just going to forget it. no, god can't do that.
- 00:12:39.982 --> 00:12:41.183
- No, god can't do that. god is just and holy.
- 00:12:41.250 --> 00:12:43.085
- God is just and holy. there had to be a payment
- 00:12:43.152 --> 00:12:44.386
- There had to be a payment for sin.
- 00:12:44.453 --> 00:12:45.454
- For sin. and it couldn't be just
- 00:12:45.521 --> 00:12:46.555
- And it couldn't be just another man.
- 00:12:46.622 --> 00:12:47.456
- Another man. it couldn't be just any
- 00:12:47.523 --> 00:12:48.624
- It couldn't be just any physical man because if it was
- 00:12:48.691 --> 00:12:50.459
- Physical man because if it was just a human man that had
- 00:12:50.526 --> 00:12:52.027
- Just a human man that had a fallen nature himself,
- 00:12:52.094 --> 00:12:54.463
- A fallen nature himself, then his life wouldn't have been
- 00:12:54.530 --> 00:12:55.865
- Then his life wouldn't have been worth more than one other
- 00:12:55.931 --> 00:12:58.534
- Worth more than one other person's life.
- 00:12:58.601 --> 00:12:59.802
- Person's life. he might have been able to
- 00:12:59.869 --> 00:13:00.502
- He might have been able to substitute for one person,
- 00:13:00.569 --> 00:13:01.871
- Substitute for one person, but he couldn't have paid
- 00:13:01.937 --> 00:13:02.638
- But he couldn't have paid for the sins of the whole
- 00:13:02.705 --> 00:13:03.672
- For the sins of the whole human race.
- 00:13:03.739 --> 00:13:05.374
- Human race. but because jesus was
- 00:13:05.441 --> 00:13:06.742
- But because jesus was god manifest in the flesh,
- 00:13:06.809 --> 00:13:09.678
- God manifest in the flesh, and he didn't have a fallen
- 00:13:09.745 --> 00:13:11.180
- And he didn't have a fallen human nature.
- 00:13:11.247 --> 00:13:11.780
- Human nature. he had a human body,
- 00:13:11.847 --> 00:13:13.749
- He had a human body, but not a fallen human nature.
- 00:13:13.816 --> 00:13:15.918
- But not a fallen human nature. there's many scriptures
- 00:13:15.985 --> 00:13:16.619
- There's many scriptures that talk about he did no sin,
- 00:13:16.685 --> 00:13:18.821
- That talk about he did no sin, there was no guile in him.
- 00:13:18.888 --> 00:13:20.289
- There was no guile in him. he was sinless.
- 00:13:20.356 --> 00:13:21.257
- He was sinless. he was pure.
- 00:13:21.323 --> 00:13:23.726
- He was pure. but when he became a man
- 00:13:23.792 --> 00:13:25.728
- But when he became a man and then he offered his life
- 00:13:25.794 --> 00:13:27.663
- And then he offered his life for us, this was different.
- 00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:32.568
- For us, this was different. because the life of him
- 00:13:32.635 --> 00:13:33.969
- Because the life of him as god manifest in the flesh
- 00:13:34.036 --> 00:13:37.339
- As god manifest in the flesh was worth more than
- 00:13:37.406 --> 00:13:38.841
- Was worth more than the lives of all of
- 00:13:38.908 --> 00:13:40.676
- The lives of all of the human race from time past
- 00:13:40.743 --> 00:13:42.478
- The human race from time past to time in eternity
- 00:13:42.544 --> 00:13:44.213
- To time in eternity in the future.
- 00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:45.915
- In the future. because he was god,
- 00:13:45.981 --> 00:13:46.982
- Because he was god, god laid down his life
- 00:13:47.049 --> 00:13:50.052
- God laid down his life and he had his own life taken
- 00:13:50.119 --> 00:13:52.488
- And he had his own life taken from him.
- 00:13:52.554 --> 00:13:53.322
- The scripture says,
- 00:13:53.389 --> 00:13:53.923
- The scripture says, the life of the flesh is
- 00:13:53.989 --> 00:13:55.257
- The life of the flesh is in the blood...
- 00:13:55.324 --> 00:13:57.026
- And he shed his blood,
- 00:13:57.092 --> 00:13:58.327
- And he shed his blood, and his life ran out and he died
- 00:13:58.394 --> 00:14:01.297
- And his life ran out and he died in your place and in my place.
- 00:14:01.363 --> 00:14:05.034
- In your place and in my place. look at this passage in
- 00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:06.335
- Look at this passage in hebrews, chapter 9.
- 00:14:06.402 --> 00:14:09.305
- Hebrews, chapter 9. and it says talking about
- 00:14:09.371 --> 00:14:10.806
- And it says talking about the old testament sacrifices,
- 00:14:10.873 --> 00:14:12.942
- The old testament sacrifices, they were only a figure.
- 00:14:13.008 --> 00:14:14.109
- In verse 9, hebrews 9:9,
- 00:14:14.176 --> 00:14:16.145
- In verse 9, hebrews 9:9, which was a figure for the time
- 00:14:16.211 --> 00:14:17.780
- Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were
- 00:14:17.846 --> 00:14:19.515
- Then present, in which were offered both gifts
- 00:14:19.581 --> 00:14:20.950
- Offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could
- 00:14:21.016 --> 00:14:22.151
- And sacrifices, that could not make him that
- 00:14:22.217 --> 00:14:23.485
- Not make him that did the service perfect,
- 00:14:23.552 --> 00:14:25.321
- Did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
- 00:14:25.387 --> 00:14:27.122
- As pertaining to the conscience; which stood only in meats
- 00:14:27.189 --> 00:14:28.624
- Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings,
- 00:14:28.691 --> 00:14:30.526
- And drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances,
- 00:14:30.592 --> 00:14:32.394
- And carnal ordinances, imposed upon them until
- 00:14:32.461 --> 00:14:33.529
- Imposed upon them until the time of reformation.
- 00:14:33.595 --> 00:14:35.464
- The time of reformation. but christ becoming
- 00:14:35.531 --> 00:14:36.398
- But christ becoming a high priest of good things
- 00:14:36.465 --> 00:14:37.933
- A high priest of good things to come, by a greater
- 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:39.401
- To come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle,
- 00:14:39.468 --> 00:14:41.537
- And more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands,
- 00:14:41.603 --> 00:14:42.705
- Not made with hands, that is to say, not of this
- 00:14:42.771 --> 00:14:43.839
- That is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood
- 00:14:43.906 --> 00:14:46.108
- Building; neither by the blood of goats and calves,
- 00:14:46.175 --> 00:14:47.576
- Of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered
- 00:14:47.643 --> 00:14:50.846
- But by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,
- 00:14:50.913 --> 00:14:54.383
- In once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
- 00:14:54.450 --> 00:14:56.285
- Having obtained eternal redemption for us.
- 00:14:56.352 --> 00:14:59.121
- Redemption for us. man, this is awesome.
- 00:14:59.188 --> 00:15:01.023
- All of the old testament
- 00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:02.358
- All of the old testament sacrifices it was impossible
- 00:15:02.424 --> 00:15:05.127
- Sacrifices it was impossible that they could really
- 00:15:05.194 --> 00:15:05.828
- That they could really take away sins.
- 00:15:05.894 --> 00:15:06.729
- Take away sins. they were only symbolic,
- 00:15:06.795 --> 00:15:08.130
- They were only symbolic, and it was important to keep
- 00:15:08.197 --> 00:15:09.331
- And it was important to keep the symbolism going
- 00:15:09.398 --> 00:15:10.532
- The symbolism going because people needed to
- 00:15:10.599 --> 00:15:11.333
- Because people needed to know that the way they were
- 00:15:11.400 --> 00:15:13.302
- Know that the way they were living was wrong
- 00:15:13.369 --> 00:15:15.204
- Living was wrong and that somebody had to die.
- 00:15:15.270 --> 00:15:17.506
- And that somebody had to die. and every time they had to
- 00:15:17.573 --> 00:15:18.440
- And every time they had to kill that ox or that sheep
- 00:15:18.507 --> 00:15:20.976
- Kill that ox or that sheep or whatever, it was a reminder
- 00:15:21.043 --> 00:15:24.013
- Or whatever, it was a reminder to them that my actions caused
- 00:15:24.079 --> 00:15:25.814
- To them that my actions caused the death of this animal.
- 00:15:25.881 --> 00:15:28.384
- The death of this animal. but that was only symbolic.
- 00:15:28.450 --> 00:15:29.818
- But that was only symbolic. it was only a type and shadow.
- 00:15:29.885 --> 00:15:31.720
- It was only a type and shadow. but when jesus died,
- 00:15:31.787 --> 00:15:33.689
- But when jesus died, it wasn't symbolic.
- 00:15:33.756 --> 00:15:35.624
- It wasn't symbolic. this was god himself
- 00:15:35.691 --> 00:15:37.926
- This was god himself stepping out from behind
- 00:15:37.993 --> 00:15:39.194
- Stepping out from behind the desk, taking his robes off
- 00:15:39.261 --> 00:15:41.363
- The desk, taking his robes off and say, because i'm god
- 00:15:41.430 --> 00:15:43.499
- And say, because i'm god i've got to give you justice.
- 00:15:43.565 --> 00:15:45.634
- I've got to give you justice. but because i love you,
- 00:15:45.701 --> 00:15:47.536
- But because i love you, i'm going to take your penalty.
- 00:15:47.603 --> 00:15:50.005
- I'm going to take your penalty. and so jesus took our sin
- 00:15:50.072 --> 00:15:52.174
- And so jesus took our sin into his own body.
- 00:15:52.241 --> 00:15:53.075
- Into his own body. this is what it says in
- 00:15:53.142 --> 00:15:54.076
- 2 corinthians, chapter 5,
- 00:15:54.143 --> 00:15:56.278
- 2 corinthians, chapter 5, verse 21, it says, for he hath
- 00:15:56.345 --> 00:15:58.080
- Verse 21, it says, for he hath made him that's god
- 00:15:58.147 --> 00:16:00.182
- Made him that's god who knew no sin to be made
- 00:16:00.249 --> 00:16:02.384
- Who knew no sin to be made sin for us.
- 00:16:02.451 --> 00:16:03.252
- Sin for us. god made him, jesus...
- 00:16:03.318 --> 00:16:04.586
- God made him, jesus... to be sin for us,
- 00:16:04.653 --> 00:16:06.388
- To be sin for us, that we might be made
- 00:16:06.455 --> 00:16:07.489
- That we might be made the righteousness of god in him.
- 00:16:07.556 --> 00:16:09.925
- The righteousness of god in him. and then in 1 peter chapter 2,
- 00:16:09.992 --> 00:16:11.427
- And then in 1 peter chapter 2, verse 24, it says,
- 00:16:11.493 --> 00:16:12.594
- Verse 24, it says, who his own self bare our sins
- 00:16:12.661 --> 00:16:14.596
- Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
- 00:16:14.663 --> 00:16:17.599
- In his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins,
- 00:16:17.666 --> 00:16:19.401
- That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:
- 00:16:19.468 --> 00:16:20.836
- Should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
- 00:16:20.903 --> 00:16:23.005
- By whose stripes ye were healed. he bore our sins in his own
- 00:16:23.072 --> 00:16:26.075
- He bore our sins in his own body on the tree.
- 00:16:26.141 --> 00:16:28.777
- And if i had time, i could
- 00:16:28.844 --> 00:16:30.245
- And if i had time, i could literally go through a lot of
- 00:16:30.312 --> 00:16:31.413
- Literally go through a lot of things on this, but over in
- 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:32.581
- Things on this, but over in isaiah, chapter 52,
- 00:16:32.648 --> 00:16:34.283
- Isaiah, chapter 52, it's talking about how
- 00:16:34.349 --> 00:16:35.751
- It's talking about how jesus gave himself for us.
- 00:16:35.818 --> 00:16:37.252
- Jesus gave himself for us. isaiah 53 is the famous passage
- 00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:40.089
- Isaiah 53 is the famous passage of scripture about
- 00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:41.657
- That he was wounded
- 00:16:41.723 --> 00:16:42.658
- That he was wounded for our transgressions
- 00:16:42.724 --> 00:16:43.926
- For our transgressions bruised for our iniquities
- 00:16:43.992 --> 00:16:45.327
- But in chapter 52,
- 00:16:45.394 --> 00:16:46.662
- But in chapter 52, you got to remember that men are
- 00:16:46.728 --> 00:16:48.230
- You got to remember that men are the ones that put the chapter
- 00:16:48.297 --> 00:16:49.264
- The ones that put the chapter and verse divisions in there.
- 00:16:49.331 --> 00:16:51.066
- And verse divisions in there. god...this isn't
- 00:16:51.133 --> 00:16:51.867
- God...this isn't a separate thought.
- 00:16:51.934 --> 00:16:52.901
- A separate thought. it's not something else.
- 00:16:52.968 --> 00:16:54.203
- It's not something else. he's still talking about jesus
- 00:16:54.269 --> 00:16:56.038
- Becoming the lamb of god,
- 00:16:56.105 --> 00:16:57.372
- Becoming the lamb of god, that takes away the sins
- 00:16:57.439 --> 00:16:58.474
- That takes away the sins of the world.
- 00:16:58.540 --> 00:16:59.274
- Of the world. and it says that his face was
- 00:16:59.341 --> 00:17:01.710
- And it says that his face was marred more than any man.
- 00:17:01.777 --> 00:17:04.213
- Marred more than any man. in the king james, it says,
- 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:05.414
- In the king james, it says, visage, but that's a word
- 00:17:05.481 --> 00:17:06.715
- Visage, but that's a word that means face.
- 00:17:06.782 --> 00:17:08.117
- That means face. and the second part of
- 00:17:08.183 --> 00:17:09.051
- That verse says that his form
- 00:17:09.118 --> 00:17:11.120
- That verse says that his form so that he didn't even
- 00:17:11.186 --> 00:17:12.054
- So that he didn't even look human.
- 00:17:12.121 --> 00:17:13.689
- Look human. when jesus suffered on
- 00:17:13.755 --> 00:17:14.990
- When jesus suffered on the cross, the beating
- 00:17:15.057 --> 00:17:16.191
- The cross, the beating that the romans gave him
- 00:17:16.258 --> 00:17:17.659
- That the romans gave him was brutal, and it was terrible.
- 00:17:17.726 --> 00:17:22.264
- Was brutal, and it was terrible. but the worst part was
- 00:17:22.331 --> 00:17:24.199
- But the worst part was he took your sin and my sin
- 00:17:24.266 --> 00:17:26.869
- He took your sin and my sin into his own body.
- 00:17:26.935 --> 00:17:27.870
- Into his own body. and not only that but he took
- 00:17:27.936 --> 00:17:29.838
- And not only that but he took our sickness and disease
- 00:17:29.905 --> 00:17:32.708
- Our sickness and disease into his own body.
- 00:17:32.774 --> 00:17:34.176
- Into his own body. just think about every
- 00:17:34.243 --> 00:17:34.943
- Just think about every deformity, every birth defect,
- 00:17:35.010 --> 00:17:38.447
- Deformity, every birth defect, every terrible thing that has
- 00:17:38.514 --> 00:17:40.315
- Every terrible thing that has ever happened in the history
- 00:17:40.382 --> 00:17:41.483
- Ever happened in the history of the world.
- 00:17:41.550 --> 00:17:42.050
- Of the world. all of this sickness,
- 00:17:42.117 --> 00:17:43.051
- All of this sickness, all of this disease came into
- 00:17:43.118 --> 00:17:45.454
- All of this disease came into jesus so that it says
- 00:17:45.521 --> 00:17:47.289
- Jesus so that it says he didn't even look human.
- 00:17:47.356 --> 00:17:51.193
- He didn't even look human. it was terrible.
- 00:17:51.260 --> 00:17:53.228
- It was terrible. jesus took your sin, my sin,
- 00:17:53.295 --> 00:17:55.931
- Jesus took your sin, my sin, our sickness, our rejection
- 00:17:55.998 --> 00:17:58.200
- Our sickness, our rejection from god, he took all of this
- 00:17:58.267 --> 00:18:00.602
- From god, he took all of this upon himself.
- 00:18:00.669 --> 00:18:02.504
- Upon himself. and this is why jesus had to
- 00:18:02.571 --> 00:18:04.273
- And this is why jesus had to become a man.
- 00:18:04.339 --> 00:18:05.407
- Become a man. we've suffered physically.
- 00:18:05.474 --> 00:18:07.776
- We've suffered physically. and jesus came and took
- 00:18:07.843 --> 00:18:08.911
- And jesus came and took our place and he suffered
- 00:18:08.977 --> 00:18:10.712
- Our place and he suffered physically for us.
- 00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:14.049
- Physically for us. i tell you when you understand
- 00:18:14.116 --> 00:18:15.117
- I tell you when you understand this, this is...
- 00:18:15.184 --> 00:18:17.119
- This, this is... this will change things.
- 00:18:17.186 --> 00:18:19.121
- This will change things. there's a lot of people today
- 00:18:19.188 --> 00:18:20.722
- There's a lot of people today that are having relationship
- 00:18:20.789 --> 00:18:22.858
- That are having relationship with god presented to them
- 00:18:22.925 --> 00:18:25.727
- With god presented to them in such a way is all you got
- 00:18:25.794 --> 00:18:26.962
- In such a way is all you got to do is just acknowledge
- 00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:28.063
- To do is just acknowledge that god exists, pray this
- 00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:29.464
- That god exists, pray this little prayer after me,
- 00:18:29.531 --> 00:18:30.532
- Little prayer after me, sign this card and you're saved.
- 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.869
- Sign this card and you're saved. it is simple, but that doesn't
- 00:18:33.936 --> 00:18:36.305
- It is simple, but that doesn't mean that it's automatic.
- 00:18:36.371 --> 00:18:37.873
- Mean that it's automatic. you have to do more than
- 00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:38.807
- You have to do more than just believe that god exists.
- 00:18:38.874 --> 00:18:41.143
- In james, chapter 2,
- 00:18:41.210 --> 00:18:42.377
- In james, chapter 2, it says, you believe that there
- 00:18:42.444 --> 00:18:43.478
- It says, you believe that there is one god; you do well:
- 00:18:43.545 --> 00:18:45.380
- Is one god; you do well: the devils also believe,
- 00:18:45.447 --> 00:18:46.715
- The devils also believe, and tremble.
- 00:18:46.782 --> 00:18:47.716
- And tremble. but won't you know, o vain man,
- 00:18:47.783 --> 00:18:49.284
- But won't you know, o vain man, that faith without works
- 00:18:49.351 --> 00:18:50.786
- That faith without works is dead?
- 00:18:50.852 --> 00:18:52.154
- The devil not only believes
- 00:18:52.221 --> 00:18:53.488
- The devil not only believes in god; he trembles at god.
- 00:18:53.555 --> 00:18:55.457
- In god; he trembles at god. many people watching this
- 00:18:55.524 --> 00:18:56.625
- Many people watching this program don't tremble.
- 00:18:56.692 --> 00:18:58.860
- Program don't tremble. you don't respect or honor
- 00:18:58.927 --> 00:19:00.329
- You don't respect or honor god as much as the devil do.
- 00:19:00.395 --> 00:19:01.897
- God as much as the devil do. but the difference is, satan is
- 00:19:01.964 --> 00:19:04.333
- But the difference is, satan is living a life in rebellion
- 00:19:04.399 --> 00:19:06.301
- Living a life in rebellion towards god, against god,
- 00:19:06.368 --> 00:19:08.670
- Towards god, against god, fighting against god.
- 00:19:08.737 --> 00:19:10.706
- Fighting against god. you have to submit yourself
- 00:19:10.772 --> 00:19:12.207
- You have to submit yourself and yield to god.
- 00:19:12.274 --> 00:19:13.909
- And yield to god. so, there's a lot of people
- 00:19:13.976 --> 00:19:15.444
- So, there's a lot of people see that are presenting you just
- 00:19:15.510 --> 00:19:16.845
- See that are presenting you just acknowledge that god exists.
- 00:19:16.912 --> 00:19:18.146
- Acknowledge that god exists. if that's all you do,
- 00:19:18.213 --> 00:19:19.147
- If that's all you do, you hadn't done anything
- 00:19:19.214 --> 00:19:20.082
- You hadn't done anything the devil hasn't done.
- 00:19:20.148 --> 00:19:22.084
- The devil hasn't done. you've got to do more than just
- 00:19:22.150 --> 00:19:23.418
- You've got to do more than just acknowledge that he's exist.
- 00:19:23.485 --> 00:19:25.087
- Acknowledge that he's exist. you got to go beyond just being
- 00:19:25.153 --> 00:19:26.655
- You got to go beyond just being not an atheist or not
- 00:19:26.722 --> 00:19:28.123
- Not an atheist or not an agnostic into believing
- 00:19:28.190 --> 00:19:30.259
- An agnostic into believing that he exists.
- 00:19:30.325 --> 00:19:30.959
- That he exists. you have to yield to him.
- 00:19:31.026 --> 00:19:32.461
- It says in romans, chapter 10,
- 00:19:32.527 --> 00:19:33.895
- It says in romans, chapter 10, verse 9, that if you will
- 00:19:33.962 --> 00:19:35.264
- Verse 9, that if you will confess with your mouth
- 00:19:35.330 --> 00:19:36.732
- Confess with your mouth the lord jesus
- 00:19:36.798 --> 00:19:39.268
- The lord jesus not just confess jesus.
- 00:19:39.334 --> 00:19:41.103
- Not just confess jesus. you confess the lord jesus,
- 00:19:41.169 --> 00:19:43.739
- You confess the lord jesus, and believe in your heart
- 00:19:43.805 --> 00:19:45.040
- And believe in your heart that god raised him from
- 00:19:45.107 --> 00:19:46.074
- That god raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
- 00:19:46.141 --> 00:19:48.610
- You have to confess jesus
- 00:19:48.677 --> 00:19:49.978
- You have to confess jesus as your lord.
- 00:19:50.045 --> 00:19:50.646
- As your lord. that doesn't mean that you're
- 00:19:50.712 --> 00:19:51.713
- That doesn't mean that you're promising you'll never sin,
- 00:19:51.780 --> 00:19:53.682
- Promising you'll never sin, that you'll do everything
- 00:19:53.749 --> 00:19:54.783
- That you'll do everything perfectly, that you're going to
- 00:19:54.850 --> 00:19:55.851
- Perfectly, that you're going to serve god 100%
- 00:19:55.917 --> 00:19:57.252
- Serve god 100% because none of us can do that.
- 00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.054
- Because none of us can do that. we've been contaminated
- 00:19:59.121 --> 00:20:00.289
- We've been contaminated and stained by sin
- 00:20:00.355 --> 00:20:02.057
- And stained by sin and there's none of us that live
- 00:20:02.124 --> 00:20:03.158
- And there's none of us that live a perfectly holy life.
- 00:20:03.225 --> 00:20:04.893
- A perfectly holy life. god knows that.
- 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:06.194
- God knows that. but you have to be willing
- 00:20:06.261 --> 00:20:07.863
- But you have to be willing to turn your life over.
- 00:20:07.929 --> 00:20:09.097
- To turn your life over. and when you blow it,
- 00:20:09.164 --> 00:20:10.265
- And when you blow it, there's plenty of forgiveness.
- 00:20:10.332 --> 00:20:11.466
- There's plenty of forgiveness. god will forgive you.
- 00:20:11.533 --> 00:20:13.235
- God will forgive you. but a person who is not willing
- 00:20:13.302 --> 00:20:14.970
- But a person who is not willing to seek god and not willing to
- 00:20:15.037 --> 00:20:17.005
- To seek god and not willing to put god first place,
- 00:20:17.072 --> 00:20:18.473
- Put god first place, i doubt seriously that you've
- 00:20:18.540 --> 00:20:19.441
- I doubt seriously that you've ever truly had god come into
- 00:20:19.508 --> 00:20:22.044
- Ever truly had god come into your life and change you.
- 00:20:22.110 --> 00:20:23.679
- Your life and change you. and if you go all the way back
- 00:20:23.745 --> 00:20:25.947
- And if you go all the way back to the things i said
- 00:20:26.014 --> 00:20:26.715
- To the things i said at the first of this program,
- 00:20:26.782 --> 00:20:29.451
- At the first of this program, when adam and eve sinned,
- 00:20:29.518 --> 00:20:30.952
- When adam and eve sinned, they died spiritually
- 00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:33.055
- They died spiritually and then they died physically.
- 00:20:33.121 --> 00:20:35.324
- Jesus said you must be
- 00:20:35.390 --> 00:20:36.358
- Jesus said you must be born again.
- 00:20:36.425 --> 00:20:37.926
- Because when we were born
- 00:20:37.993 --> 00:20:39.094
- Because when we were born physically, when we were born
- 00:20:39.161 --> 00:20:40.629
- Physically, when we were born as a child, we had that sin
- 00:20:40.696 --> 00:20:42.497
- As a child, we had that sin nature in us that was
- 00:20:42.564 --> 00:20:44.299
- Nature in us that was separated from god.
- 00:20:44.366 --> 00:20:45.901
- Separated from god. even an innocent little child
- 00:20:45.967 --> 00:20:47.803
- Even an innocent little child we may talk about how innocent
- 00:20:47.869 --> 00:20:49.371
- We may talk about how innocent they are, and they are sweet,
- 00:20:49.438 --> 00:20:51.673
- They are, and they are sweet, and they are cute.
- 00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:52.274
- And they are cute. but i guarantee you
- 00:20:52.341 --> 00:20:52.974
- But i guarantee you that child will cry.
- 00:20:53.041 --> 00:20:54.109
- That child will cry. that child will hit you.
- 00:20:54.176 --> 00:20:55.243
- That child will hit you. that child will take a toy
- 00:20:55.310 --> 00:20:56.578
- That child will take a toy from its sibling.
- 00:20:56.645 --> 00:20:58.146
- From its sibling. that child is the center
- 00:20:58.213 --> 00:20:59.181
- That child is the center of the universe.
- 00:20:59.247 --> 00:21:00.449
- Of the universe. you can see that fallen nature
- 00:21:00.515 --> 00:21:02.984
- You can see that fallen nature even in a child.
- 00:21:03.051 --> 00:21:05.153
- Even in a child. and as they grow and develop,
- 00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:06.788
- And as they grow and develop, it may manifest itself to
- 00:21:06.855 --> 00:21:08.223
- It may manifest itself to a lesser or...or greater degree,
- 00:21:08.290 --> 00:21:10.859
- A lesser or...or greater degree, but they have a fallen nature.
- 00:21:10.926 --> 00:21:13.028
- But they have a fallen nature. and this is why
- 00:21:13.095 --> 00:21:14.029
- You must be born again.
- 00:21:14.096 --> 00:21:16.998
- You must be born from above.
- 00:21:17.065 --> 00:21:18.600
- You must be born from above. you were born
- 00:21:18.667 --> 00:21:19.334
- You were born with a sinful nature,
- 00:21:19.401 --> 00:21:21.169
- With a sinful nature, but when you do confess jesus
- 00:21:21.236 --> 00:21:22.738
- But when you do confess jesus as your lord, then your spirit
- 00:21:22.804 --> 00:21:25.407
- As your lord, then your spirit gets reborn.
- 00:21:25.474 --> 00:21:26.508
- Gets reborn. and now that old dead spirit
- 00:21:26.575 --> 00:21:28.844
- And now that old dead spirit that was corrupt and the bible
- 00:21:28.910 --> 00:21:30.412
- That was corrupt and the bible says was the nature of the devil
- 00:21:30.479 --> 00:21:33.281
- Says was the nature of the devil ephesians, chapter 2,
- 00:21:33.348 --> 00:21:34.483
- Ephesians, chapter 2, verses 2 and 3,
- 00:21:34.549 --> 00:21:35.817
- You were by nature the children
- 00:21:35.884 --> 00:21:37.219
- You were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
- 00:21:37.285 --> 00:21:39.087
- When you get born again,
- 00:21:39.154 --> 00:21:40.322
- When you get born again, god takes out of you
- 00:21:40.389 --> 00:21:41.456
- God takes out of you that sinful nature, and puts
- 00:21:41.523 --> 00:21:44.059
- That sinful nature, and puts his nature on the inside of you.
- 00:21:44.126 --> 00:21:46.862
- His nature on the inside of you. now you still have a body
- 00:21:46.928 --> 00:21:48.363
- Now you still have a body that's the same and you still
- 00:21:48.430 --> 00:21:49.564
- That's the same and you still have a mind that's the same,
- 00:21:49.631 --> 00:21:51.032
- Have a mind that's the same, but you can renew your mind
- 00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:52.634
- But you can renew your mind and as quickly as you can change
- 00:21:52.701 --> 00:21:54.169
- And as quickly as you can change your thinking, you can begin to
- 00:21:54.236 --> 00:21:55.937
- Your thinking, you can begin to let this new nature that was
- 00:21:56.004 --> 00:21:58.373
- Let this new nature that was given you at salvation begin to
- 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:00.609
- Given you at salvation begin to dominate and control you so
- 00:22:00.675 --> 00:22:01.977
- Dominate and control you so that you can turn around
- 00:22:02.043 --> 00:22:02.978
- That you can turn around and love the very people
- 00:22:03.044 --> 00:22:04.146
- And love the very people that you hated before.
- 00:22:04.212 --> 00:22:05.914
- That you hated before. you can turn around
- 00:22:05.981 --> 00:22:06.648
- You can turn around and rejoice in the midst of
- 00:22:06.715 --> 00:22:08.150
- And rejoice in the midst of sorrow when you used to
- 00:22:08.216 --> 00:22:09.518
- Sorrow when you used to just be destroyed by it.
- 00:22:09.584 --> 00:22:11.720
- Just be destroyed by it. you have all of these benefits,
- 00:22:11.787 --> 00:22:13.054
- You have all of these benefits, but you are changed
- 00:22:13.121 --> 00:22:14.556
- But you are changed in the spirit.
- 00:22:14.623 --> 00:22:15.791
- In the spirit. you only experience that change
- 00:22:15.857 --> 00:22:17.592
- You only experience that change that took place in the spirit
- 00:22:17.659 --> 00:22:19.194
- That took place in the spirit to the degree that
- 00:22:19.261 --> 00:22:19.961
- To the degree that you renew your mind and then
- 00:22:20.028 --> 00:22:21.830
- You renew your mind and then begin to act in agreement.
- 00:22:21.897 --> 00:22:24.232
- >> you know, there's a lot of
- 00:22:26.535 --> 00:22:27.436
- People that just assume
- 00:22:27.436 --> 00:22:28.937
- Because they believe that
- 00:22:28.937 --> 00:22:30.305
- There's a god that they're
- 00:22:30.305 --> 00:22:32.307
- Saved. and the scripture says in
- 00:22:32.307 --> 00:22:34.943
- James chapter 2 verse 19, it
- 00:22:34.943 --> 00:22:37.212
- Says, you believe that there's
- 00:22:37.212 --> 00:22:38.480
- One god you do well, but won't
- 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.883
- You know oh vain man that faith
- 00:22:41.883 --> 00:22:43.518
- Without works is dead. that's a
- 00:22:43.518 --> 00:22:45.086
- Very sarcastic statement saying,
- 00:22:45.086 --> 00:22:46.955
- Believing that there's a god is
- 00:22:46.955 --> 00:22:48.790
- Not anything that the devil
- 00:22:48.790 --> 00:22:50.091
- Hasn't done. it's more than just
- 00:22:50.091 --> 00:22:52.360
- Acknowledging that god exists,
- 00:22:52.360 --> 00:22:55.030
