Now I've been sharing all
of this through quotations
00:00:01.60\00:00:04.90
from the pen of Ellen
White and that's fine.
00:00:04.93\00:00:08.19
Somebody got to say unto me,
00:00:08.22\00:00:09.37
well, is there no
where in the Bible
00:00:09.40\00:00:11.75
where the same concept
can be seen and can be found.
00:00:11.78\00:00:14.64
Well, we did read of
course from John 3:19,
00:00:14.67\00:00:18.50
"This is the
condemnation." Yeah.
00:00:18.53\00:00:22.44
But how do we deal with people,
00:00:22.47\00:00:24.42
who hurt us, how do we deal
with people we want to save.
00:00:24.45\00:00:27.72
Not by condemnation,
look with me at 2 Corinthians,
00:00:27.75\00:00:31.52
2 Corinthians Chapter 5
and we're looking at verse 19.
00:00:31.55\00:00:35.50
Perhaps we even should
start a little before verse 19.
00:00:35.53\00:00:38.83
Maybe we'll start in verse
18, where in 2 Corinthians 5:18,
00:00:38.86\00:00:46.31
"And all things are of God,
00:00:46.34\00:00:48.54
who hath reconciled us
by Himself by Jesus Christ,
00:00:48.57\00:00:53.22
to Himself by Jesus
Christ and has given to us
00:00:53.25\00:00:55.88
the ministry of reconciliation."
00:00:55.91\00:00:57.85
So God has a method
He knows what is doing.
00:00:57.88\00:01:00.32
He is working for
our reconciliation
00:01:00.35\00:01:02.46
and He gives us the
ministry of reconciliation.
00:01:02.49\00:01:04.97
Look at verse 19 it
tells us how to do it,
00:01:05.00\00:01:08.18
"To wit, that God was in Christ,
00:01:08.21\00:01:10.02
reconciling the
world to Himself,
00:01:10.05\00:01:11.51
now watch not imputing
their trespasses unto them,
00:01:11.54\00:01:15.52
in other words
not by condemning them
00:01:15.55\00:01:18.72
and has committed unto us
the word of reconciliation."
00:01:18.75\00:01:22.53
