  • Creflo: ephesians chapter 4 and verse 1--i say that this is
  • 00:01:44.374 --> 00:01:50.346
  • The most important sermon i've ever preached before in my life
  • 00:01:50.346 --> 00:01:53.016
  • Because it's all of the pieces that have finally come together.
  • 00:01:53.016 --> 00:01:59.155
  • And the lord said to me, as i saw what paul said,
  • 00:01:59.155 --> 00:02:02.659
  • That he was privileged to preach the mystery of god.
  • 00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:06.629
  • And he said, so likewise, son,
  • 00:02:06.629 --> 00:02:09.799
  • Be privileged to preach the mystery of god.
  • 00:02:09.799 --> 00:02:17.106
  • And i'm about to unfold to you the mystery of god
  • 00:02:18.841 --> 00:02:26.216
  • That in some cases many have lived and died and have never
  • 00:02:26.282 --> 00:02:30.453
  • Been able to see it, and that this morning
  • 00:02:30.453 --> 00:02:37.093
  • We are privileged to be able to see the plan
  • 00:02:37.093 --> 00:02:43.233
  • And the mystery that came by god
  • 00:02:43.233 --> 00:02:49.138
  • For his enjoyment.
  • 00:02:49.138 --> 00:02:52.242
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:02:52.242 --> 00:02:56.646
  • Let's begin.
  • 00:02:56.646 --> 00:02:59.282
  • Ephesians 4:1 and i call this "the worthy walk."
  • 00:02:59.282 --> 00:03:05.788
  • Ephesians 4:1 he says, "i," and paul is speaking.
  • 00:03:05.788 --> 00:03:10.126
  • "i, therefore," underline the word therefore, i never thought
  • 00:03:10.126 --> 00:03:15.732
  • This word would have so much significance.
  • 00:03:15.732 --> 00:03:18.668
  • "i, therefore, the prisoner of the lord, beseech you,"
  • 00:03:18.668 --> 00:03:23.106
  • I beseech you, i exhort you, i encourage you,
  • 00:03:23.106 --> 00:03:30.947
  • "to walk worthy of the calling
  • 00:03:30.947 --> 00:03:37.320
  • With which you were called."
  • 00:03:37.320 --> 00:03:43.559
  • Now for many years i assumed that i knew the
  • 00:03:43.559 --> 00:03:48.898
  • Calling that i have been called and i limited to,
  • 00:03:48.898 --> 00:03:53.369
  • "well, i was called to pastor,"
  • 00:03:53.369 --> 00:03:56.272
  • Or you might limit it to, "well, i was called to sing,"
  • 00:03:56.272 --> 00:03:59.575
  • Or, "to show compassion."
  • 00:03:59.575 --> 00:04:03.913
  • But i can no longer do that, verse 1, i can no longer do that
  • 00:04:03.913 --> 00:04:07.684
  • Because paul said, "i, therefore."
  • 00:04:07.684 --> 00:04:12.789
  • So in this appeal, he says,
  • 00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:14.357
  • "walk worthy of what you've been called."
  • 00:04:14.357 --> 00:04:17.427
  • So this appeal, and when i use the word appeal this morning,
  • 00:04:17.427 --> 00:04:20.730
  • Is an attempt.
  • 00:04:20.730 --> 00:04:23.032
  • The word appeal means to persuade you to do something.
  • 00:04:23.032 --> 00:04:26.636
  • And so here in verse 1 he's trying to persuade us,
  • 00:04:26.636 --> 00:04:29.505
  • "to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,"
  • 00:04:29.505 --> 00:04:32.909
  • He's trying to persuade us to do that.
  • 00:04:32.909 --> 00:04:36.245
  • So he's making an appeal for us to do that.
  • 00:04:36.245 --> 00:04:39.549
  • And then later on you'll see an appeal put away bitterness,
  • 00:04:39.549 --> 00:04:42.552
  • Later on you'll see an appeal, lie not one to another.
  • 00:04:42.552 --> 00:04:45.855
  • Later on you'll see the appeal.
  • 00:04:45.855 --> 00:04:51.627
  • So the appeal is for an earthly life in full harmony with the
  • 00:04:51.627 --> 00:04:56.032
  • Exalted position to which the believer has been called.
  • 00:04:56.032 --> 00:05:02.138
  • There's something about understanding what you've been
  • 00:05:02.138 --> 00:05:05.108
  • Called to, that in a sense justifies the appeal.
  • 00:05:05.108 --> 00:05:13.082
  • In other words, i'm appealing to you to do something but it
  • 00:05:13.082 --> 00:05:16.953
  • Doesn't work well until you know the call, until you know the
  • 00:05:16.953 --> 00:05:22.925
  • Background behind it.
  • 00:05:22.925 --> 00:05:27.263
  • And so this word, "therefore," became real big.
  • 00:05:27.263 --> 00:05:31.534
  • The word therefore points back to certain things presented in
  • 00:05:31.534 --> 00:05:36.272
  • The preceding chapters which are the basis for the appeal.
  • 00:05:36.272 --> 00:05:42.945
  • So he'll say something in the preceding chapter.
  • 00:05:42.945 --> 00:05:45.648
  • Chapter 1 says this, chapter 2 says this, chapter 3 says this.
  • 00:05:45.648 --> 00:05:49.152
  • And now as a result of what has been said, therefore.
  • 00:05:49.152 --> 00:05:55.224
  • So you see, i can't preach this until i satisfy this therefore.
  • 00:05:55.224 --> 00:06:01.464
  • "therefore, i beseech you to walk worthy of the calling which
  • 00:06:01.464 --> 00:06:06.302
  • You have been called."
  • 00:06:06.302 --> 00:06:08.337
  • What is it that will say, "therefore do this?"
  • 00:06:08.337 --> 00:06:11.874
  • What did he say in chapter 1?
  • 00:06:11.874 --> 00:06:13.409
  • What did he say in chapter 2?
  • 00:06:13.409 --> 00:06:14.744
  • What did he say in chapter 3?
  • 00:06:14.744 --> 00:06:16.212
  • I got to back up in order to give reference to therefore.
  • 00:06:16.212 --> 00:06:23.352
  • Yeah, y'all, i've been hoping to shout on therefore.
  • 00:06:23.352 --> 00:06:32.361
  • So in these chapters that we're about to go back to look at,
  • 00:06:32.361 --> 00:06:35.498
  • Those chapters you will find the greatest revelation
  • 00:06:35.498 --> 00:06:44.941
  • Of our present position.
  • 00:06:44.941 --> 00:06:47.743
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:06:47.743 --> 00:06:49.078
  • I'm about to show you the greatest
  • 00:06:49.078 --> 00:06:51.013
  • Revelation of the position that we are all in whether you know
  • 00:06:51.013 --> 00:06:57.220
  • It or not right now.
  • 00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:58.955
  • You will before you leave but whether you know it or not i'm
  • 00:06:58.955 --> 00:07:01.023
  • Getting ready to show you the greatest revelation
  • 00:07:01.023 --> 00:07:03.559
  • Of where you are right now,
  • 00:07:03.559 --> 00:07:12.168
  • And i'm gonna show you the eternal destiny
  • 00:07:12.168 --> 00:07:17.106
  • Of all of us who believe.
  • 00:07:17.106 --> 00:07:21.477
  • So we gonna satisfy where you are today, rat, r-a-t right now,
  • 00:07:21.477 --> 00:07:29.519
  • And we're gonna also satisfy the eternal destiny.
  • 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.790
  • No, you're not gonna walk out here no more talking about,
  • 00:07:34.790 --> 00:07:36.993
  • "i wonder if i'm going to heaven to hell."
  • 00:07:36.993 --> 00:07:40.930
  • It's gonna satisfy that destiny.
  • 00:07:40.930 --> 00:07:43.366
  • And once you find out your position and your destiny, the
  • 00:07:43.366 --> 00:07:49.138
  • Devil will not be able to touch you no more with all his
  • 00:07:49.138 --> 00:07:53.109
  • Tomfoolery that he's been hitting you with.
  • 00:07:53.109 --> 00:08:00.683
  • The appeal to walk worthy of the call is not to live so as to
  • 00:08:00.683 --> 00:08:09.058
  • Gain the high calling.
  • 00:08:09.058 --> 00:08:12.762
  • So he's not asking you to walk worthy of the thing that you've
  • 00:08:12.762 --> 00:08:16.465
  • Been called so you by walking worthy will gain the call.
  • 00:08:16.465 --> 00:08:23.706
  • Now watch this now.
  • 00:08:23.706 --> 00:08:27.343
  • This position that the believer has been called to is so high
  • 00:08:27.343 --> 00:08:35.618
  • That it cannot possibly be earned not even if you live a
  • 00:08:35.618 --> 00:08:42.391
  • Perfect life if that was possible.
  • 00:08:42.391 --> 00:08:46.195
  • I don't think you understand what i'm saying.
  • 00:08:46.195 --> 00:08:48.397
  • This position cannot be earned not even
  • 00:08:48.397 --> 00:08:51.767
  • If you lived a perfect life.
  • 00:08:51.767 --> 00:08:54.971
  • It's not possible for us to live a perfect life but if it were
  • 00:08:54.971 --> 00:08:58.274
  • Possible for you to live a perfect life, you still would
  • 00:08:58.274 --> 00:09:01.177
  • Not be able to earn this position.
  • 00:09:01.177 --> 00:09:09.685
  • Now that messes up your religion, doesn't it?
  • 00:09:09.685 --> 00:09:12.088
  • Because we've been trained in religion,
  • 00:09:12.088 --> 00:09:13.789
  • "do a lot of stuff so you can earn a lot of stuff."
  • 00:09:13.789 --> 00:09:16.993
  • But this is something you cannot earn, this position cannot be
  • 00:09:16.993 --> 00:09:21.230
  • Earned even if it were possible for you to live
  • 00:09:21.230 --> 00:09:24.567
  • A flawless, perfect life.
  • 00:09:24.567 --> 00:09:32.675
  • The position belongs to the believer and it is his because
  • 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:45.988
  • God's calling and his own purpose, it is his because
  • 00:09:45.988 --> 00:09:53.295
  • It is a gift of his grace.
  • 00:09:53.295 --> 00:09:58.934
  • The position i'm about to show you is a gift of his grace given
  • 00:09:58.934 --> 00:10:04.874
  • To you before you were born.
  • 00:10:04.874 --> 00:10:13.115
  • This calling cannot be altered, it is unalterable.
  • 00:10:17.186 --> 00:10:24.593
  • And then this appeal will never lose its force because
  • 00:10:24.593 --> 00:10:28.397
  • This calling is unalterable, it is irrevocable.
  • 00:10:28.397 --> 00:10:36.105
  • Look at the scripture romans chapter 11, verse 29,
  • 00:10:36.105 --> 00:10:40.976
  • In the new king james version.
  • 00:10:40.976 --> 00:10:42.611
  • Romans 11 verse 29 here's what god says and he was referring to
  • 00:10:42.611 --> 00:10:46.115
  • This, you're gonna see a lot of scriptures that we just kind
  • 00:10:46.115 --> 00:10:48.451
  • Of used through cherry picking, you're gonna see it
  • 00:10:48.451 --> 00:10:50.653
  • All come together now.
  • 00:10:50.653 --> 00:10:53.856
  • "for the gifts
  • 00:10:53.856 --> 00:10:55.191
  • And the calling of god are irrevocable."
  • 00:10:55.191 --> 00:11:05.201
  • The new living translation says, "it can never be withdrawn."
  • 00:11:05.201 --> 00:11:10.372
  • It can't be repented of, it won't change,
  • 00:11:10.372 --> 00:11:16.846
  • It can't be taken away.
  • 00:11:16.846 --> 00:11:19.715
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:11:19.715 --> 00:11:24.720
  • The call can't be lost, the call can't be changed,
  • 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.190
  • You can't do nothing to lose it, you can't do nothing
  • 00:11:28.190 --> 00:11:30.426
  • To mess it up, it can't be--it is what it is.
  • 00:11:30.426 --> 00:11:37.700
  • Now let me give you an example before i nail it down so you can
  • 00:11:41.904 --> 00:11:45.374
  • Gain concept what i'm saying.
  • 00:11:45.374 --> 00:11:48.244
  • Children born into a royal family are taught to conduct
  • 00:11:48.244 --> 00:11:54.483
  • Themselves as become royalty.
  • 00:11:54.483 --> 00:11:59.188
  • Why, because they are that by birth.
  • 00:11:59.188 --> 00:12:09.198
  • Y'all getting with me?
  • 00:12:09.198 --> 00:12:14.036
  • I don't care how perfect you are, you will never be in the
  • 00:12:14.036 --> 00:12:20.142
  • Royal family by all of your perfection.
  • 00:12:20.142 --> 00:12:30.152
  • You are born into it.
  • 00:12:30.152 --> 00:12:33.255
  • You didn't ask for it, you didn't work for it,
  • 00:12:33.255 --> 00:12:38.127
  • You had to be born into it.
  • 00:12:38.127 --> 00:12:42.965
  • So they honored the king and their country only as they
  • 00:12:42.965 --> 00:12:47.670
  • So conducted themselves.
  • 00:12:47.670 --> 00:12:51.073
  • They are forbidden many things which other children do.
  • 00:12:51.073 --> 00:12:56.812
  • They weren't trying to have good conduct so they could be a part
  • 00:12:56.812 --> 00:13:00.149
  • Of the royal family, they were already a part of
  • 00:13:00.149 --> 00:13:04.086
  • The royal family and they said, "i might as well get my conduct
  • 00:13:04.086 --> 00:13:13.429
  • To a place where it matches my birthright."
  • 00:13:13.429 --> 00:13:18.801
  • I'm not having the right kind of conduct so i can earn royalty,
  • 00:13:18.801 --> 00:13:25.374
  • I was born royal so i might as well learn how to conduct
  • 00:13:25.374 --> 00:13:31.013
  • Myself as a royal.
  • 00:13:31.013 --> 00:13:38.020
  • And we are a royal nation,
  • 00:13:38.020 --> 00:13:43.459
  • A holy people.
  • 00:13:43.459 --> 00:13:49.865
  • So the royal position is the basis for the appeal
  • 00:13:49.865 --> 00:13:55.204
  • For royal conduct.
  • 00:13:55.204 --> 00:13:59.141
  • It's because i'm already royal it's the basis to appeal,
  • 00:13:59.141 --> 00:14:03.812
  • Learn now how to walk
  • 00:14:03.812 --> 00:14:06.081
  • Like what you already are.
  • 00:14:06.081 --> 00:14:15.624
  • So when paul wrote, "i, therefore," he pointed
  • 00:14:15.624 --> 00:14:21.297
  • To the believer's high and exalted calling as the reason
  • 00:14:21.297 --> 00:14:28.270
  • For a life that would be in harmony with his calling.
  • 00:14:28.270 --> 00:14:33.042
  • So this calling is the sufficient reason
  • 00:14:33.042 --> 00:14:36.612
  • For the appeal.
  • 00:14:36.612 --> 00:14:39.181
  • So when he says, "lie not one to another, don't be bitter one to
  • 00:14:39.181 --> 00:14:41.784
  • Another, don't steal no more one to another."
  • 00:14:41.784 --> 00:14:44.653
  • He's not saying do all of that so you can be holy, he is
  • 00:14:44.653 --> 00:14:47.990
  • Saying, "holy has already been established, you were already
  • 00:14:47.990 --> 00:14:52.795
  • Born that way, it's already been established for you so match
  • 00:14:52.795 --> 00:14:56.365
  • It with your living."
  • 00:14:56.365 --> 00:14:58.767
  • So now the question is what is this calling that he is
  • 00:14:58.767 --> 00:15:08.177
  • Beseeching us to walk worthy or to conduct ourselves and to
  • 00:15:08.177 --> 00:15:16.719
  • Carry out this appeal because of this calling?
  • 00:15:16.719 --> 00:15:23.092
  • I gotta know what this calling is.
  • 00:15:23.092 --> 00:15:25.961
  • Now let me pause.
  • 00:15:25.961 --> 00:15:27.763
  • Everybody on the bus so far?
  • 00:15:27.763 --> 00:15:33.035
  • Go to ephesians chapter 1 and 3.
  • 00:15:33.035 --> 00:15:36.605
  • Now this calling is a long list that makes up the believers
  • 00:15:36.605 --> 00:15:40.042
  • Calling and it's introduced here in ephesians 1, verse 3.
  • 00:15:40.042 --> 00:15:44.847
  • Now follow very carefully now.
  • 00:15:44.847 --> 00:15:47.883
  • "blessed be the god and father of our lord jesus christ, jesus
  • 00:15:47.883 --> 00:15:53.956
  • Christ, who have blessed and empowered us with,"
  • 00:15:53.956 --> 00:15:58.827
  • This is powerful, "with every spiritual blessing
  • 00:15:58.827 --> 00:16:07.102
  • In the heavenly places in christ."
  • 00:16:07.102 --> 00:16:13.542
  • We've been blessed with every spiritual blessing
  • 00:16:13.542 --> 00:16:18.914
  • In heavenly places in christ.
  • 00:16:18.914 --> 00:16:21.617
  • So now here's what we know so far.
  • 00:16:21.617 --> 00:16:25.487
  • This at once identifies the calling as first
  • 00:16:25.487 --> 00:16:28.057
  • Of all being what?
  • 00:16:28.057 --> 00:16:29.691
  • Spiritual and related to heavenly things.
  • 00:16:29.691 --> 00:16:34.897
  • The calling is spiritual and it's related to heavenly things.
  • 00:16:34.897 --> 00:16:40.969
  • So the walk to be worthy must then be of spiritual order and
  • 00:16:40.969 --> 00:16:47.409
  • That walk must be on a heavenly plane.
  • 00:16:47.409 --> 00:16:51.747
  • So this would be more than
  • 00:16:51.747 --> 00:16:54.783
  • Having a good moral life, much more.
  • 00:16:54.783 --> 00:16:59.888
  • Now look at verse 4 and 5.
  • 00:16:59.888 --> 00:17:04.093
  • "just as he chose us in him," so when did he choose us?
  • 00:17:04.093 --> 00:17:11.166
  • "before the foundations of the world."
  • 00:17:11.166 --> 00:17:17.206
  • He chose you--this is way before--we're not even talking
  • 00:17:17.206 --> 00:17:22.845
  • About before you were born.
  • 00:17:22.845 --> 00:17:26.949
  • Think about it.
  • 00:17:26.949 --> 00:17:28.383
  • God knew you before he made the world.
  • 00:17:28.383 --> 00:17:32.654
  • "he chose you before the foundation of the world."
  • 00:17:32.654 --> 00:17:37.593
  • And what did he choose us to do?
  • 00:17:37.593 --> 00:17:39.595
  • "that we should be holy," stop right there.
  • 00:17:39.595 --> 00:17:42.297
  • God chose you to be holy.
  • 00:17:42.297 --> 00:17:46.135
  • Before the world started he chose you to be holy.
  • 00:17:46.135 --> 00:17:50.005
  • Now he didn't say if you're gonna be holy, he chose you to
  • 00:17:50.005 --> 00:17:53.408
  • Be holy, you were gonna be born that way.
  • 00:17:53.408 --> 00:17:57.479
  • And "he chose you," this blew my mind.
  • 00:17:57.479 --> 00:18:01.950
  • And "he chose you to be without blame."
  • 00:18:01.950 --> 00:18:07.089
  • So in order for you to be without blame, you can't be
  • 00:18:07.089 --> 00:18:10.526
  • Responsible for nothing.
  • 00:18:10.526 --> 00:18:16.064
  • He has to accept all responsibility for you.
  • 00:18:16.064 --> 00:18:22.471
  • So if there's any blame to go around, god says,
  • 00:18:22.471 --> 00:18:25.407
  • "the buck stops with me."
  • 00:18:25.407 --> 00:18:32.781
  • "without blame before him in love," in verse 5,
  • 00:18:32.781 --> 00:18:35.951
  • "having predestined."
  • 00:18:35.951 --> 00:18:40.989
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:18:40.989 --> 00:18:42.424
  • "he predestined us to an adoption
  • 00:18:42.424 --> 00:18:48.530
  • Of sons by jesus christ himself."
  • 00:18:48.530 --> 00:18:50.666
  • In other words, he made his mind up that every believer
  • 00:18:50.666 --> 00:18:54.803
  • Was going to be his son.
  • 00:18:54.803 --> 00:18:58.840
  • He made his mind up that i'm grafting you into the family and
  • 00:18:58.840 --> 00:19:02.911
  • Every privilege jesus has as a son you are now adopted into
  • 00:19:02.911 --> 00:19:08.984
  • This same privilege.
  • 00:19:08.984 --> 00:19:14.556
  • Y'all don't understand what i'm saying.
  • 00:19:14.556 --> 00:19:17.359
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:22.931
  • I need to show you something.
  • 00:19:22.931 --> 00:19:24.266
  • Romans 5:2 in the new living translation.
  • 00:19:24.266 --> 00:19:30.072
  • We'll come back to verse 5 here.
  • 00:19:30.072 --> 00:19:32.874
  • I'm rightly dividing this truth because the devil, i thought
  • 00:19:32.874 --> 00:19:37.346
  • He was gonna start playing with us today like, "they ain't
  • 00:19:37.346 --> 00:19:39.248
  • Gonna hear this message, i'm gonna turn the lights off,"
  • 00:19:39.248 --> 00:19:43.085
  • Like, well, i can preach it in the dark.
  • 00:19:43.085 --> 00:19:49.992
  • Now watch this 'cause everything i'm telling you is gonna require
  • 00:19:49.992 --> 00:19:53.428
  • Your faith that's it.
  • 00:19:53.428 --> 00:19:57.666
  • Will you receive what he has done before the foundation of
  • 00:19:57.666 --> 00:20:00.869
  • The world with your faith?
  • 00:20:00.869 --> 00:20:03.405
  • He said, "because of our faith, christ has brought us into this
  • 00:20:03.405 --> 00:20:07.376
  • Place of undeserved privilege...
  • 00:20:07.376 --> 00:20:14.182
  • Where we now stand."
  • 00:20:14.182 --> 00:20:17.986
  • You are a born again christian and you stand in this place
  • 00:20:17.986 --> 00:20:21.056
  • Of undeserved privilege, that's royalty.
  • 00:20:21.056 --> 00:20:26.795
  • You're privileged with stuff you don't deserve.
  • 00:20:26.795 --> 00:20:29.798
  • The only reason you're privileged, you're privileged
  • 00:20:29.798 --> 00:20:34.002
  • Because you were born into it.
  • 00:20:34.002 --> 00:20:39.308
  • People in the royal family are privileged because they were
  • 00:20:39.308 --> 00:20:42.644
  • Born into it and they wasn't deserving.
  • 00:20:42.644 --> 00:20:44.446
  • They are standing in the natural in an undeserved privilege and
  • 00:20:44.446 --> 00:20:47.916
  • We who are born again are sons of god, not deserved but adopted
  • 00:20:47.916 --> 00:20:54.656
  • And so we now stand in undeserved privilege just like
  • 00:20:54.656 --> 00:20:58.160
  • People born in a royal family stand in undeserved privilege.
  • 00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:02.764
  • You are privileged.
  • 00:21:02.764 --> 00:21:06.702
  • You are privileged, privileged to be the righteousness of god,
  • 00:21:06.702 --> 00:21:09.905
  • Privileged to be redeemed, privileged to have healing,
  • 00:21:09.905 --> 00:21:13.141
  • Privileged to have the wisdom of god, privileged.
  • 00:21:13.141 --> 00:21:21.183
  • So start walking in what you're privileged in and quit trying to
  • 00:21:21.183 --> 00:21:25.454
  • Figure out how you can deserve it 'cause i'm telling you, you
  • 00:21:25.454 --> 00:21:28.824
  • Don't deserve none of it, you're privileged.
  • 00:21:28.824 --> 00:21:36.064
  • So when you need to be healed you declare,
  • 00:21:36.064 --> 00:21:38.433
  • "i'm healed, i'm a son of god, i am privileged to have it,"
  • 00:21:38.433 --> 00:21:42.137
  • Don't try to tell me what i did or what i didn't do.
  • 00:21:42.137 --> 00:21:45.273
  • Don't try to talk about how i acted or how i should've acted,
  • 00:21:45.273 --> 00:21:48.410
  • I am privileged, hallelujah, i am holy, i am without blame.
  • 00:21:48.410 --> 00:21:58.420
  • "having predestined us to the adoption as sons
  • 00:21:58.420 --> 00:22:03.091
  • By jesus christ to himself, according."
  • 00:22:03.091 --> 00:22:08.697
  • All right so he, "predestined for us to be his sons,
  • 00:22:08.697 --> 00:22:14.169
  • According to his good pleasure of his will."
  • 00:22:14.169 --> 00:22:18.607
  • Somebody say, "why'd he do it?"
  • 00:22:18.607 --> 00:22:20.475
  • 'cause he wanted to.
  • 00:22:20.475 --> 00:22:23.412
  • It gives him pleasure to adopt all who believe as his sons and
  • 00:22:23.412 --> 00:22:32.587
  • Give you a privilege that you don't deserve.
  • 00:22:32.587 --> 00:22:36.925
  • And now you're privileged to cry abba father.
  • 00:22:36.925 --> 00:22:46.468
  • This is nothing less than eternal enjoyment
  • 00:22:50.405 --> 00:22:53.241
  • Of god's limitless love.
  • 00:22:53.241 --> 00:22:56.812
  • This position in his presence is that of a son.
  • 00:22:56.812 --> 00:23:02.317
  • This position in his presence is that of a son.
  • 00:23:02.384 --> 00:23:11.660
  • God has made himself determined according
  • 00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:14.362
  • To the good pleasure of his will that in the eternal state all
  • 00:23:14.362 --> 00:23:18.433
  • Believers shall be his sons.
  • 00:23:18.433 --> 00:23:23.104
  • So this is a family relationship.
  • 00:23:23.104 --> 00:23:28.510
  • Walk worthy of the family relationship.
  • 00:23:28.510 --> 00:23:35.484
  • This is a family relationship.
  • 00:23:35.484 --> 00:23:37.385
  • It's a position that's higher than any other celestial being.
  • 00:23:37.385 --> 00:23:44.059
  • There are no angels in the angelic class
  • 00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:47.729
  • That have this position.
  • 00:23:47.729 --> 00:23:49.764
  • None of the celestial beings, none of the seraphim's, none of
  • 00:23:49.764 --> 00:23:53.535
  • The--nothing, nothing in heaven carries this position and we
  • 00:23:53.535 --> 00:24:03.545
  • Forget about it on a daily basis as we proceed to conduct
  • 00:24:03.545 --> 00:24:09.184
  • Ourselves as if we're not royalty.
  • 00:24:09.184 --> 00:24:13.421
  • You keep acting like you're not born into this.

  • With what he has done.
  • 00:24:38.213 --> 00:24:40.415

  • Because you are in christ
  • 00:24:43.518 --> 00:24:45.921
