  • >> 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
