The harvest truly is plenteous,
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
but the laborers are
few. Pray ye therefore to
00:00:02.96\00:00:05.08
the Lord of the
harvest, that he will,
00:00:05.09\00:00:07.15
he will send forth laborers into
00:00:07.16\00:00:09.79
His harvest.
Also I heard the voice
00:00:09.80\00:00:12.12
of the Lord
saying, Whom shall I send?
00:00:12.13\00:00:14.58
And who will go
for us? Then said I,
00:00:15.42\00:00:19.18
Here am I, send me, send me.
00:00:19.40\00:00:22.67
Life On The Edge
will enable you to be an
00:00:23.54\00:00:25.72
effective
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:25.73\00:00:27.24
We now invite you into our
00:00:27.95\00:00:29.52
class room to
come experience life.
00:00:29.53\00:00:33.75
We just like to
praise the Lord that everyone
00:00:43.76\00:00:45.50
of you are able to
tune in today maybe you're
00:00:45.51\00:00:47.84
joining us from
home on a DVD player or
00:00:47.85\00:00:50.60
maybe you are joining
us on the Internet but we
00:00:50.61\00:00:52.85
are very glad that
you are here with us at
00:00:52.86\00:00:54.31
The Lay
Instituted For Evangelism.
00:00:54.32\00:00:56.50
We're here in the
classroom on the campus
00:00:57.23\00:00:59.16
of Pine Lake
Retreat. We've been outside
00:00:59.17\00:01:01.51
and we've seen our pet
alligator and we've had
00:01:01.52\00:01:04.68
our dinner and now
we are ready to study
00:01:04.69\00:01:07.65
the word of God as a
group and we are just
00:01:07.66\00:01:09.13
glad that
you're able to join us.
00:01:09.14\00:01:10.68
I'd like to remind
those of you that are at home
00:01:11.11\00:01:12.69
you will want to
make sure that you
00:01:12.70\00:01:13.81
get your Bible. At some point in
00:01:13.82\00:01:16.39
the future you want
to, as you tune into these
00:01:16.40\00:01:18.54
programs you want to
get yourself a pen that has
00:01:18.55\00:01:21.12
lead in it or a
pencil that has lead in it,
00:01:21.13\00:01:23.18
so that you can mark
these studies in your
00:01:23.19\00:01:24.82
Bible and if you've
missed one of those programs
00:01:24.83\00:01:28.18
where we've
taught you how to mark
00:01:28.19\00:01:30.03
this in your Bible,
then we encourage you
00:01:30.04\00:01:32.00
to make sure that
you get on our website,
00:01:32.01\00:01:33.73
ComeExperienceLife.com,
ComeExperienceLife.com
00:01:34.53\00:01:39.34
and you can
download our handouts there,
00:01:39.35\00:01:41.57
you can preview some
of the programs and we're
00:01:41.58\00:01:44.63
looking forward to in
the future putting these on
00:01:44.64\00:01:46.36
iTunes as well. So you may by
00:01:46.37\00:01:48.08
the time you get this,
go ahead and check out on
00:01:48.09\00:01:49.98
iTunes and see if
you can find some of our
00:01:49.99\00:01:51.76
presentations there. Well this,
00:01:51.77\00:01:53.91
today Eleida Feliciano
who is going to present
00:01:54.28\00:01:56.73
to us a Bible
study on salvation.
00:01:56.74\00:01:59.90
A Bible study on salvation,
00:02:00.41\00:02:01.38
that sounds like very important
00:02:03.33\00:02:04.30
topic doesn't it?
If, if you and I want
00:02:04.31\00:02:06.08
to be in kingdom of the God,
00:02:06.09\00:02:07.17
we must to be what?
Saved and what a better
00:02:07.18\00:02:10.53
way to do that,
well the only way
00:02:10.54\00:02:12.57
we can do that is
through studying the Bible,
00:02:12.58\00:02:15.21
that's what the Bible
says in First Peter 1:23.
00:02:15.22\00:02:17.50
But prior to doing
that we're going to give
00:02:18.21\00:02:19.91
a little bit, some more tidbits
00:02:19.92\00:02:22.34
on how to study the
Bible with other people,
00:02:22.86\00:02:25.23
and we're gonna talk
on our first graphic here
00:02:25.24\00:02:27.78
about some Bible Study aids.
00:02:27.79\00:02:30.20
And the first Bible
Study aid that you can
00:02:30.86\00:02:32.93
use is a chart.
Let's suppose that
00:02:32.94\00:02:35.66
you're giving a
Bible study to someone and
00:02:35.67\00:02:37.73
it's a Bible study
on prophecy much like
00:02:37.74\00:02:39.97
Pastor Sizemore has
presented to us about the
00:02:39.98\00:02:42.44
Anti-Christ and we come to the
00:02:42.45\00:02:44.32
1260 year
prophecy. It's easier to
00:02:44.33\00:02:47.97
understand things, if
they are in a picture.
00:02:47.98\00:02:51.13
Now let's notice
what the scripture says,
00:02:51.92\00:02:53.64
on our next slide
you will note that we're
00:02:53.65\00:02:55.47
going to turn to Habakkuk,
00:02:55.48\00:02:57.24
the second chapter and verse 2.
00:02:57.25\00:02:59.80
So I invite
everybody here in the classroom
00:02:59.81\00:03:01.56
to go ahead and go
there, Habakkuk and today I'm
00:03:01.57\00:03:04.45
using my Bible that
my, my conversion Bible.
00:03:04.46\00:03:08.16
So, you see there my
little marker here is a
00:03:08.50\00:03:09.94
little frayed, but
we love this Bible,
00:03:09.95\00:03:12.24
so we keep the
frayed marker instead of
00:03:12.25\00:03:14.00
cutting it out. So,
we're here in Habakkuk,
00:03:14.01\00:03:16.66
the second
chapter and we're going to
00:03:16.67\00:03:18.90
read verse 2, and I'll go ahead
00:03:18.91\00:03:20.99
and read that for us.
Now, many of you at home
00:03:21.00\00:03:22.87
maybe saying to
yourself, where in the world
00:03:22.88\00:03:24.99
is Habakkuk? So,
what we're going to
00:03:25.00\00:03:27.60
do is we're going
to teach you right now,
00:03:27.61\00:03:29.40
you want to open
your Bible to the
00:03:29.41\00:03:31.12
very front cover,
in the very front cover
00:03:31.13\00:03:34.31
of your Bible you
will notice that there is a
00:03:34.32\00:03:36.49
table of
contents, and that table of
00:03:36.50\00:03:39.20
contents in the front
of your Bible is broken
00:03:39.21\00:03:41.58
up into two
sections. Can anybody in
00:03:41.59\00:03:44.30
here tell me, well I'll just
00:03:44.31\00:03:45.51
ask you Mrs. Gloria,
can you tell me what are
00:03:45.52\00:03:47.66
the two sections
that our Bible is
00:03:47.67\00:03:49.25
broken up into?
The New Testament and
00:03:49.26\00:03:53.32
the Old Testament. That's right,
00:03:53.33\00:03:54.74
the New Testament
and the Old Testament,
00:03:54.75\00:03:56.55
so what we're gonna do is?
00:03:56.56\00:03:57.67
We're gonna look in
the section that's labeled
00:03:57.68\00:03:59.66
Old Testament and
we're going to find Habakkuk
00:03:59.67\00:04:02.98
it's near the end of
the Old Testament list
00:04:03.39\00:04:05.86
and then you're
going to look for that page
00:04:05.87\00:04:07.44
number and the
amazing thing is now some
00:04:07.45\00:04:10.03
of you at home maybe
thinking to yourself.
00:04:10.04\00:04:11.66
I am the only one
that can't find this,
00:04:12.02\00:04:13.68
but here we are and
there are people in this
00:04:14.06\00:04:15.58
classroom that are
actually going to the
00:04:15.59\00:04:17.39
front of their
Bibles and they're looking
00:04:17.40\00:04:19.27
for Habakkuk and now
they're finding the first
00:04:19.28\00:04:21.01
page in the Book of Habakkuk.
00:04:21.02\00:04:22.34
And, so just like
you we're learning to
00:04:22.74\00:04:25.14
study our
Bibles, now when we're in
00:04:25.15\00:04:27.52
Habakkuk we give
you just one more moment
00:04:27.53\00:04:30.03
to get there, I see some of
00:04:30.04\00:04:31.20
us are just there we've
just never been there so
00:04:31.21\00:04:33.95
our pages are struck together.
00:04:33.96\00:04:35.23
Habakkuk isn't a
book that we open
00:04:35.84\00:04:37.41
very often is
it? Now notice what
00:04:37.42\00:04:39.45
God says here,
Habakkuk chapter 2
00:04:39.46\00:04:41.33
and verse 2, he says,
00:04:41.34\00:04:44.25
and the Lord
answered me and said,
00:04:44.26\00:04:46.69
write the vision. So what was he
00:04:47.75\00:04:50.59
supposed to do first? What is he
00:04:50.60\00:04:51.93
supposed to do? He supposed to
00:04:51.94\00:04:53.54
write the vision,
that's right Solita,
00:04:53.55\00:04:55.35
and make it plain upon tables,
00:04:55.82\00:04:59.93
make it plain upon what?
00:04:59.94\00:05:01.37
Upon tables then it
says that he may run
00:05:02.36\00:05:05.42
that readeth it.
Now we're not scared
00:05:05.43\00:05:07.91
when somebody writes something,
00:05:07.92\00:05:09.31
nor when somebody draws
something out on a chart,
00:05:09.32\00:05:11.86
but we can
understand it much easier.
00:05:11.87\00:05:14.88
So the council from
God when we're giving
00:05:15.13\00:05:16.84
Bible studies, if we have the
00:05:16.85\00:05:19.30
opportunity and we
can write things out in a
00:05:19.31\00:05:22.37
chart it will be
easier for those that we are
00:05:22.38\00:05:26.08
studying the Bible
with to understand it.
00:05:26.09\00:05:27.85
Now one of the things
that I like to do when
00:05:28.86\00:05:30.47
I give a Bible study
is, I would like to write
00:05:30.48\00:05:32.33
handwritten
notes, while I'm giving
00:05:32.77\00:05:35.31
that Bible study.
Even, if it's not a chart
00:05:35.32\00:05:38.27
that's got lines and it
looks like it's on graph
00:05:38.28\00:05:41.32
paper or something like that,
00:05:41.33\00:05:42.47
even if it's not
that, if it's just the
00:05:42.48\00:05:44.98
references that I'm
going to in a very small
00:05:44.99\00:05:47.94
little tidbit
of information that
00:05:47.95\00:05:49.73
describes that
verse. So when you're giving
00:05:49.74\00:05:52.04
a Bible study, if you'll,
00:05:52.05\00:05:53.02
if you'll write
things out by hand,
00:05:53.03\00:05:54.95
even if it's not in
a chart you write down
00:05:54.96\00:05:57.09
the reference and
then you also write down
00:05:57.10\00:05:59.59
a little bit of information that
00:05:59.60\00:06:01.61
came from that
verse. That way when you're
00:06:01.62\00:06:03.93
giving that Bible
study all you have to do
00:06:03.94\00:06:05.81
is take your pencil
and refer back up to a
00:06:05.82\00:06:08.38
text that you have
already been to and
00:06:08.39\00:06:10.17
people will remember
that idea a lot easier
00:06:12.64\00:06:13.61
simply because you
have written it down.
00:06:13.62\00:06:15.24
So, charts
would be the first way
00:06:15.58\00:06:18.17
that you could, or
first aid you could
00:06:18.18\00:06:20.39
use to help someone
understand the Bible
00:06:20.40\00:06:23.44
better while
you're giving them the
00:06:23.45\00:06:25.67
Bible study. Now on our
00:06:25.68\00:06:27.85
slide right
now, you see that the
00:06:27.86\00:06:29.47
next Bible Study
aid is illustrations.
00:06:29.48\00:06:33.01
When I was growing
up my brother Donald,
00:06:33.82\00:06:36.25
John, Mark and I
we're in the backyard,
00:06:36.26\00:06:39.55
I lived in
Montgomery, Alabama and the dirt
00:06:39.56\00:06:41.79
there is not dirt its red clay.
00:06:41.80\00:06:44.32
And my father just
finished building a
00:06:45.26\00:06:47.30
huge addition on
the back of the house,
00:06:47.31\00:06:49.04
so he had lots of
little red bricks left over.
00:06:49.05\00:06:51.26
And so, Donald,
John, Mark and I were just,
00:06:51.85\00:06:54.36
we were bored out of
our minds it's a hot day
00:06:54.70\00:06:57.12
what in the
world are you gonna do
00:06:57.13\00:06:58.42
in the city, on a hot day,
00:06:58.43\00:07:00.66
in the summer, well,
if you have all of these
00:07:00.67\00:07:04.53
left over
building materials you're
00:07:04.54\00:07:05.91
gonna build
something. So we decided we were
00:07:05.92\00:07:08.62
going to build an
igloo. Now none of us had ever
00:07:08.63\00:07:11.24
seen a real igloo
other than in pictures.
00:07:11.25\00:07:13.33
So we, we dug this trench,
00:07:13.55\00:07:16.51
this circular trench in the,
00:07:16.52\00:07:18.65
in the mud, well it wasn't mud,
00:07:18.66\00:07:20.49
it was just hard
clay. So, we chipped it out
00:07:20.50\00:07:23.06
and then we took a
layer of the bricks and
00:07:23.07\00:07:26.42
we lined our
trench. Then we got some of
00:07:26.43\00:07:30.05
that clay and put it
in a bucket put some water
00:07:30.06\00:07:32.26
and we made our
self some red clay mud.
00:07:32.27\00:07:36.08
Now I don't know if
any of you have ever been
00:07:36.99\00:07:38.02
in Alabama when that
mud, that red clay gets wet
00:07:38.03\00:07:41.66
and you get it on
your shoes you have to
00:07:41.67\00:07:43.10
go buy another pair of shoes.
00:07:43.11\00:07:44.42
This stuff is
thick, so we put a layer
00:07:44.43\00:07:47.53
of red mud on the
top of those bricks.
00:07:47.54\00:07:50.05
Now friend, I want you
to notice that right now
00:07:50.06\00:07:53.50
you're wrapped up
in this illustration,
00:07:53.96\00:07:57.59
you're wrapped up in
it. You wanna know what's
00:07:58.34\00:08:00.64
gonna happen, don't you?
00:08:00.65\00:08:01.86
So, when you start a
Bible study or when you end
00:08:02.42\00:08:05.49
a Bible study,
when you're making
00:08:05.50\00:08:07.33
an appeal, if you can use
00:08:07.34\00:08:08.95
an illustration to
grab that attention,
00:08:08.96\00:08:11.72
you're gonna pull
that person with you.
00:08:12.60\00:08:14.44
Do you want me to
finish the story or not,
00:08:14.45\00:08:16.08
I'll finish the
story. So we put a layer of
00:08:16.73\00:08:19.64
that mud on there and
then we put another layer
00:08:19.65\00:08:22.35
of those of red
bricks. And you know,
00:08:22.36\00:08:23.88
we didn't
remember that an igloo had,
00:08:23.89\00:08:26.43
you know an entrance
going out to the side,
00:08:26.44\00:08:28.60
so we, when we
got to the top we,
00:08:28.61\00:08:30.81
we thought to
ourselves well we didn't
00:08:30.82\00:08:32.37
build an igloo,
we built a furnace.
00:08:32.38\00:08:35.34
You know how boys
are, don't you Mrs. Gloria.
00:08:36.74\00:08:38.81
Well we decided that
the only thing we could do
00:08:39.20\00:08:41.64
with this igloo was try
to melt it and of course
00:08:41.65\00:08:44.97
it's made of
bricks, so we decided we
00:08:44.98\00:08:47.04
could melt it, we were gonna put
00:08:47.05\00:08:48.98
a fire in there and
we were gonna make that
00:08:48.99\00:08:51.36
mud back into
that hard Alabama clay.
00:08:51.37\00:08:54.80
And so we put all
of these pieces of 2/4,
00:08:55.58\00:08:59.37
saw dust, little pieces
of wood or particle board,
00:08:59.38\00:09:04.63
all of this
stuff, we put cardboard,
00:09:04.64\00:09:06.40
insulation I don't know
insulation would burn but
00:09:06.41\00:09:09.32
we put it in
there and we lit it.
00:09:09.33\00:09:12.13
This fire just started
going and you could see
00:09:15.00\00:09:17.02
that stream coming
out of that, that mud.
00:09:17.03\00:09:19.01
Well we decided
that we got bored.
00:09:20.14\00:09:23.55
What are we gonna do
now? And we remembered that
00:09:25.64\00:09:28.64
on the porch
that my dad had just
00:09:28.65\00:09:30.75
finished building,
there was an entire
00:09:30.76\00:09:33.79
shelf of spray
paint cans. So we decided,
00:09:33.80\00:09:40.14
we were gonna try to
blow up that igloo now oven,
00:09:40.15\00:09:43.95
now something to
destroy. So we got some of that,
00:09:43.96\00:09:48.53
we got a paint can and
my brother and John Mark
00:09:48.54\00:09:50.70
over there were
shaking these thing up and
00:09:50.71\00:09:51.99
they get the one with
the least amount of paint
00:09:52.00\00:09:54.47
in it and they hand it to me,
00:09:54.48\00:09:55.62
I was the youngest.
And they said you go
00:09:55.63\00:09:57.39
throw it in,
alright, I will go do it,
00:09:57.40\00:10:00.07
so that's exactly what I did,
00:10:00.08\00:10:01.05
I went over there,
I threw that stuff in
00:10:01.06\00:10:02.49
there and I ran
back toward John,
00:10:02.50\00:10:03.93
Mark and Donald
were and I just hid and
00:10:03.94\00:10:05.20
we watched, and we watched,
00:10:05.21\00:10:07.94
nothing happen
and I got out from
00:10:09.46\00:10:12.33
behind that tree,
go, go, go, go check,
00:10:12.34\00:10:14.26
go check, why me?
Well you're the youngest,
00:10:14.27\00:10:16.17
go check. Okay I'll go
00:10:16.18\00:10:17.15
and check and so I got
out from behind that tree
00:10:17.16\00:10:20.07
and as soon as I got
out from behind that tree,
00:10:20.08\00:10:22.18
Bill, one brick
moved, one brick.
00:10:24.39\00:10:29.75
So we decided we're
gonna blow this thing up.
00:10:31.69\00:10:35.42
So my brother and
John, Mark were over there
00:10:37.19\00:10:38.66
shaking these cans
and they get two of the
00:10:38.67\00:10:41.46
heaviest spray
paint cans that they can.
00:10:41.47\00:10:43.69
And guess who they gave them to?
00:10:45.91\00:10:46.88
Me, and so just about
the time I was gonna throw
00:10:46.89\00:10:49.91
those in our kiln
that was once an igloo,
00:10:49.92\00:10:52.59
I was gonna
throw those in there,
00:10:52.60\00:10:54.02
my dad burst out the
back door and he says,
00:10:54.03\00:10:55.89
stop you're gonna kill yourself.
00:10:55.90\00:10:58.63
Now, why did my
dad say that to me?
00:10:59.96\00:11:01.42
Because he loved
me. God gives us a loud
00:11:03.40\00:11:08.21
warning in his
judgment, our message,
00:11:08.22\00:11:11.69
in Revelation 14 in verse 6,
00:11:12.13\00:11:14.29
that's my opening
illustration for one
00:11:14.30\00:11:16.45
of my judgment Bible studies.
00:11:16.46\00:11:18.53
Did it get your attention?
00:11:18.99\00:11:20.01
So one of the good
ways, one of the best
00:11:20.51\00:11:23.04
Bible Study aids
when you're giving a Bible
00:11:23.05\00:11:25.33
study to get someone's
attention is to give an
00:11:25.34\00:11:28.43
illustration
and how much better,
00:11:28.44\00:11:30.35
notice on our next slide here?
00:11:30.36\00:11:31.59
How much better,
if that illustration
00:11:31.60\00:11:34.60
is personal. Our
next slide here says,
00:11:35.80\00:11:39.52
what happens when
a question is asked.
00:11:39.91\00:11:42.87
So you're given a Bible study,
00:11:42.88\00:11:44.37
you're giving a Bible
study and somebody asks
00:11:45.03\00:11:47.12
you a question, what do you do
00:11:47.13\00:11:49.69
when somebody
asks you a question?
00:11:49.70\00:11:51.73
You've got their attention,
00:11:52.23\00:11:53.35
you're giving them the
Bible study and because
00:11:53.36\00:11:55.79
you have their
attention, that person is
00:11:55.80\00:11:58.29
beginning to
think and now they're
00:11:58.30\00:12:00.96
asking
questions. What is it that
00:12:00.97\00:12:03.51
you can do? Well, Danielle this
00:12:03.52\00:12:05.77
is exactly what
you can do when a
00:12:05.78\00:12:06.97
question is
asked. We've got four
00:12:06.98\00:12:09.25
things up here. You can answer
00:12:09.26\00:12:11.47
that question in
a sentence or two.
00:12:11.48\00:12:14.64
So, you simply
answered in one or two sentences
00:12:15.17\00:12:17.63
and then you move on,
or on our next graphic you
00:12:17.64\00:12:20.26
will see that you
could promise to answer that
00:12:20.27\00:12:22.88
question at the
end of the Bible study.
00:12:22.89\00:12:25.45
Promise to answer
that question at the end of
00:12:26.25\00:12:27.90
the Bible study. This will save
00:12:27.91\00:12:29.69
you time during your
Bible study and it will
00:12:29.70\00:12:33.24
also keep you on
track. Believe it or not there
00:12:33.25\00:12:36.78
are some people that
you will study the Bible
00:12:36.79\00:12:39.28
with and they will want
bounce from one topic to
00:12:39.29\00:12:41.66
another topic, to another topic,
00:12:41.67\00:12:43.13
but it is your job as
the Bible presenter to make
00:12:43.14\00:12:47.40
sure that you stay on topic.
00:12:47.41\00:12:48.97
So, just promise to
answer that question at the
00:12:48.98\00:12:51.61
end of the study. Our
next graphic shows us,
00:12:51.62\00:12:54.50
that you could
simply explain that you will
00:12:54.51\00:12:56.63
cover that
question at a later date.
00:12:56.64\00:13:00.32
So, you're giving
Bible studies to someone
00:13:00.33\00:13:01.90
probably on a weekly basis.
00:13:01.91\00:13:03.88
On a weekly basis
you're giving a Bible study
00:13:03.89\00:13:06.27
to someone and you
want to be able to come back
00:13:06.28\00:13:08.79
the next week so
they ask you a question
00:13:08.80\00:13:10.68
that is not on the
topic that you're presenting
00:13:13.20\00:13:14.17
that week. And you say what
00:13:14.18\00:13:15.37
we are going to do is
we are going to cover that
00:13:15.38\00:13:17.88
in a later Bible
study. Now by doing that Tom
00:13:17.89\00:13:22.64
what you have done
by doing that is you've
00:13:22.65\00:13:24.69
just hooked them.
Because they asked
00:13:24.70\00:13:27.40
the question they
wanna know the answer so you
00:13:27.41\00:13:30.40
have just setup
another Bible study
00:13:30.41\00:13:32.64
with that person.
The Bible tells us
00:13:32.65\00:13:34.02
to be as wise as a
serpent and as what?
00:13:34.03\00:13:37.33
Harmless as a
dove, that's right.
00:13:37.81\00:13:39.90
Our fourth thing
that we could do when a
00:13:41.36\00:13:43.32
question is asked,
we could say that's a
00:13:43.33\00:13:45.94
good question,
write that down and
00:13:45.95\00:13:48.72
we will answer that
later. Write that down and
00:13:48.73\00:13:52.92
we will answer that
later. So what we've learned
00:13:52.93\00:13:57.44
so far the first thing
that we could do to help
00:13:57.45\00:13:59.52
people understand
our Bible studies better.
00:13:59.53\00:14:01.90
What was the
first thing that we said
00:14:02.40\00:14:03.66
we could do? We could use
00:14:03.67\00:14:05.71
a chart because it
helps us to understand
00:14:05.72\00:14:08.51
things better. The second thing
00:14:08.52\00:14:10.28
we could do is use
what? Illustrations.
00:14:10.29\00:14:13.90
Now some of you,
when I said make that
00:14:13.91\00:14:16.20
illustration
personal, some of you said
00:14:16.21\00:14:17.69
yourself there is
nothing that is ever
00:14:17.70\00:14:19.92
happened to me in my
life that I could use as
00:14:19.93\00:14:21.74
an illustration
in a Bible study.
00:14:21.75\00:14:23.52
And when I was told
that maybe those of you at
00:14:23.95\00:14:25.91
home are thinking
the exact same thing when
00:14:25.92\00:14:27.48
I was told that.
I said forget it,
00:14:27.49\00:14:30.88
nothing has
happened to me in my life.
00:14:30.89\00:14:32.80
But then you know what I did,
00:14:33.55\00:14:34.70
I begin to think about
it. And I remembered my
00:14:34.71\00:14:37.83
brother and John,
Mark I remembered,
00:14:37.84\00:14:41.53
I remembered riding
a go-cart and flipping
00:14:41.54\00:14:43.82
it over, lack of judgment,
00:14:43.83\00:14:46.12
I remembered
all of those things,
00:14:46.77\00:14:48.08
I remembered riding my
bicycle on top of my dad's
00:14:48.09\00:14:50.33
junkyard cars
and then getting in
00:14:50.34\00:14:52.08
trouble for that.
Illustrations that
00:14:52.09\00:14:55.14
you can use that
are personal from your
00:14:55.15\00:14:56.66
own life will
enable people to relate
00:14:56.67\00:14:59.84
to your Bible
studies so much better.
00:14:59.85\00:15:02.56
And so those of you at home,
00:15:03.15\00:15:04.14
those of us here
in this classroom,
00:15:04.15\00:15:05.82
start to think about
those illustrations that
00:15:05.83\00:15:08.20
you can use from your own life,
00:15:08.21\00:15:10.54
and then what we do
if our Bible study is
00:15:10.55\00:15:13.46
interrupted by
questions. We should certainly
00:15:13.47\00:15:16.79
welcome questions shouldn't we?
00:15:16.80\00:15:18.49
You don't want
to just push off a
00:15:18.87\00:15:20.33
question and say, ah
that's a crazy question,
00:15:20.34\00:15:22.42
you don't need ask that
during this Bible study.
00:15:22.43\00:15:24.07
What you want to do
is one of four things
00:15:24.81\00:15:27.06
and we have that
backup there on our slide,
00:15:27.07\00:15:28.78
answer in a
sentence or two and go on,
00:15:29.33\00:15:31.22
promise to answer at
the end of the study,
00:15:31.77\00:15:34.32
explain that you
will cover that later,
00:15:34.83\00:15:36.96
or say that's a good question,
00:15:36.97\00:15:38.96
write it down and
we will answer that.
00:15:39.49\00:15:41.99
So these are just some
Bible Study aids that you
00:15:42.79\00:15:45.40
can use while you're
giving your Bible Study.
00:15:45.41\00:15:48.30
Well at the beginning
of this program I promised
00:15:48.75\00:15:50.56
those of us here and
those that are watching at
00:15:50.57\00:15:52.41
home that Miss
Feliciano was going to be
00:15:52.42\00:15:54.46
presenting for us
today a Bible Study
00:15:54.47\00:15:56.88
on Salvation. So,
Eleida we look very
00:15:56.89\00:15:59.24
much forward to that
now, we are very glad that
00:15:59.25\00:16:01.97
you are going to
share the word of God
00:16:01.98\00:16:03.97
with us and teach us how it is
00:16:03.98\00:16:05.63
that we can be saved.
00:16:05.64\00:16:07.92
We're going to be
doing our study today like
00:16:22.91\00:16:25.25
we said about the
salvation and this study
00:16:25.26\00:16:28.20
we are going to be coding it S.
00:16:28.21\00:16:30.59
So as we mark this
through your Bible you
00:16:31.02\00:16:32.78
are going to be
writing an S on each
00:16:32.79\00:16:35.36
of the references.
00:16:35.37\00:16:36.77
The purpose of
this study is to show
00:16:40.85\00:16:42.56
that the plan, the plan that God
00:16:42.57\00:16:45.61
designed to rescue man
from the penalty of sin.
00:16:45.62\00:16:48.04
And we're gonna be
looking at how man was
00:16:48.05\00:16:50.56
under the penalty of
sin, and how God rescue
00:16:50.57\00:16:53.75
man from that. Now one thing
00:16:53.76\00:16:55.84
that we have to
remember on every Bible study
00:16:55.85\00:16:57.87
to do what is that?
To center it on Jesus,
00:16:57.88\00:17:01.32
this is very, very important.
00:17:01.33\00:17:03.58
We can be teaching
people the doctrines of the
00:17:03.96\00:17:07.32
Bible and just giving
them knowledge and that
00:17:07.33\00:17:09.32
knowledge is not
going to take them anywhere.
00:17:09.33\00:17:12.08
The purpose that we
want to do when we are going
00:17:12.59\00:17:15.47
to the homes and
studying with people,
00:17:15.48\00:17:17.38
is so that every
single Bible study to lead the
00:17:17.39\00:17:20.99
person to Christ.
That's why we make sure
00:17:21.00\00:17:24.47
that every study's
centered on Christ.
00:17:24.48\00:17:26.03
Now, this study is
about God is a God of love,
00:17:26.04\00:17:30.28
grace and mercy
who longs to save us,
00:17:30.29\00:17:33.31
as we look at the
story of salvation we see a
00:17:33.32\00:17:36.31
God that longs to save us.
00:17:36.32\00:17:39.30
There's a misconception
that God is just a God
00:17:39.90\00:17:42.58
who is looking down
to see who is being good,
00:17:42.59\00:17:46.08
who can make it to
heaven, the ones that are being
00:17:46.09\00:17:47.94
good he is gonna
destroy. But as we see the story
00:17:47.95\00:17:51.11
of salvation in the
Bible we see that this
00:17:51.12\00:17:53.81
is not true. God sees us and
00:17:53.82\00:17:58.48
he loves us so much
that when He sees us doing
00:17:58.49\00:18:00.45
wrong he doesn't
say well what one is
00:18:00.46\00:18:01.76
gonna be
served, He is constantly
00:18:01.77\00:18:03.04
seeking us and we're going to
00:18:03.05\00:18:05.05
see that in this study today.
00:18:05.06\00:18:07.22
These are the texts
that we are going to be
00:18:11.35\00:18:13.28
using in this study
and these are the texts you
00:18:13.29\00:18:15.55
want to make sure
that you have either on the
00:18:15.56\00:18:17.32
front of your Bible on
the back of your Bible,
00:18:17.33\00:18:19.13
so you can reference
to it as you go through
00:18:19.14\00:18:21.25
this study, since this is a
00:18:21.26\00:18:22.35
salvation study it's
gonna have the number of the
00:18:22.36\00:18:24.93
texts and the S by
it, and we're going to
00:18:24.94\00:18:28.97
be going through
these ones today.
00:18:28.98\00:18:31.35
Our first text is
found in Genesis 1:26,
00:18:35.57\00:18:40.43
27 and 31 we're
gonna start at the very
00:18:40.44\00:18:42.62
beginning and
the creation study.
00:18:42.63\00:18:45.04
But before we begin
let's just have a short word
00:18:45.05\00:18:46.90
of prayer you want,
every time you study
00:18:46.91\00:18:49.31
the Bible with
someone you want to begin
00:18:49.32\00:18:51.06
and end with prayer.
Let's do that at this time.
00:18:51.07\00:18:55.30
Dear Lord and heavenly Father,
00:18:56.04\00:18:57.23
we thank you that
you've given us the chance
00:18:57.24\00:18:59.80
to study your word
and we pray that your
00:18:59.81\00:19:01.98
Holy Spirit will be
here with us and that we will
00:19:01.99\00:19:04.95
understand clearly
Lord, the plan that you
00:19:04.96\00:19:07.14
have to save us,
we all decided to
00:19:07.15\00:19:09.50
be saved Lord and
we pray that you help
00:19:09.51\00:19:10.99
us to understand
this, in Jesus name we
00:19:11.00\00:19:12.77
are praying, Amen, Amen.
00:19:12.78\00:19:15.36
And let's find
out, when you get to
00:19:16.06\00:19:17.47
first Genesis 1,
chapter 1 verses 26, 27 and 31.
00:19:17.48\00:19:24.79
At the end of
this reference you're
00:19:25.17\00:19:26.88
going to write
what's on the screen.
00:19:26.89\00:19:28.31
You're gonna have
there 1S and then,
00:19:28.75\00:19:31.35
on above it there is
nothing because we just
00:19:31.36\00:19:33.60
started and that's
where you would put that
00:19:33.61\00:19:35.22
verse that you
came from, we just began
00:19:35.23\00:19:37.49
then below it you're gonna write
00:19:38.02\00:19:39.20
Genesis 2:16, 17; and 3: 1-8.
00:19:39.21\00:19:43.13
This is where we're
going to be going to.
00:19:43.14\00:19:44.86
So this is what
you're going to be writing at
00:19:45.23\00:19:47.57
the end of this reference.
Roberto, can I have you
00:19:47.58\00:19:50.73
you read those verses for us.
00:19:50.74\00:19:52.66
Yeah, Genesis 1:26,
27, and 31, and 31 okay.
00:19:53.46\00:19:58.93
Then God said,
Let us make a man,
00:19:58.94\00:20:02.50
excuse me, Then God said,
00:20:02.51\00:20:07.44
Let us make a man
in our image according
00:20:07.45\00:20:11.68
to our likeness: let them have
00:20:11.69\00:20:14.75
dominion over
the fish of the sea,
00:20:14.76\00:20:16.80
over the birds of the air,
00:20:16.81\00:20:19.12
and over the
cattle over all the earth,
00:20:19.13\00:20:21.95
and over every
creeping thing that
00:20:21.96\00:20:25.99
creepeth on the
earth. So God created man
00:20:26.00\00:20:29.01
in His own image, in the image,
00:20:29.02\00:20:36.16
that's correct, of
God, He created him;
00:20:37.12\00:20:39.97
male and female He created them.
00:20:39.98\00:20:42.31
Then 31st, 31 yeah,
31. Then God saw every
00:20:42.62\00:20:47.63
thing that He had made,
00:20:47.64\00:20:49.06
and indeed, it was very good.
00:20:49.81\00:20:51.98
So the evening
and the morning were
00:20:52.59\00:20:55.91
the sixth day, the sixth day.
00:20:55.92\00:20:58.14
Very good, thank you.
00:20:58.74\00:20:59.71
Now according to this verse,
00:20:59.96\00:21:01.71
how did God created man?
00:21:01.72\00:21:03.86
In His image.
Perfect, Holy and it says
00:21:05.68\00:21:10.15
everything was
good so it was good.
00:21:10.16\00:21:11.73
So man was created
in the image of God,
00:21:12.97\00:21:15.75
in the perfect image of God.
00:21:15.76\00:21:18.05
Now we, when we
consider humanity today,
00:21:18.52\00:21:20.88
is man still reflecting
the perfect image of God?
00:21:23.33\00:21:26.97
No. No. I don't
about you but I am far from
00:21:28.68\00:21:32.09
being perfect. And so we can
00:21:32.10\00:21:33.97
see that something
happened here between
00:21:33.98\00:21:36.77
that creation and what
we are experiencing now,
00:21:36.78\00:21:39.48
we're gonna look at
that in, right here,
00:21:39.49\00:21:42.40
we're in the same
book but we're gonna go to
00:21:42.41\00:21:44.31
chapter 2 verse 16, 17
and then we are going go
00:21:45.52\00:21:50.49
into chapter 3 verses
1-8, at the end of this
00:21:50.50\00:21:54.14
reference you are
going to mark what,
00:21:54.15\00:21:55.66
it's on the screen,
2S, because this is the
00:21:55.67\00:21:58.93
second text of
our Salvation Study.
00:21:58.94\00:22:01.24
We just came from
Genesis 1:26, 27 and 31
00:22:01.25\00:22:05.17
so this is what you
write above the line,
00:22:05.18\00:22:07.17
below the line you are
gonna write Romans 3:23,
00:22:07.18\00:22:10.99
this is where
we are going after.
00:22:11.00\00:22:13.05
Okay Jessica, can you read that,
00:22:14.55\00:22:16.78
if you can read
just 16 and 17 right now.
00:22:18.08\00:22:20.98
But the Lord God
gave him this warning:
00:22:22.29\00:22:24.11
You may freely eat any
fruit in the garden except
00:22:24.12\00:22:27.65
fruit from the
tree of the knowledge of
00:22:27.66\00:22:29.84
good and evil. If
you eat of its fruit,
00:22:29.85\00:22:33.24
you will surely die.
Hey, what did God tell
00:22:33.25\00:22:35.89
Adam and Eve here?
Not to eat of the tree,
00:22:35.90\00:22:41.72
if they eat
what, what will happen?
00:22:41.73\00:22:43.04
They will die, Hey
this is very simple.
00:22:44.18\00:22:46.23
He said if you
eat you shall die.
00:22:46.67\00:22:49.44
Now notice here, He did not say
00:22:49.84\00:22:51.41
you might die, He
said you shall die.
00:22:51.42\00:22:53.52
And not just shall die
but you shall surely die.
00:22:53.53\00:22:57.89
Does that sound
startling enough?
00:22:59.41\00:23:00.56
Clear expectations,
He told them if you
00:23:02.20\00:23:05.15
eat you will die.
Now lets continue in
00:23:05.16\00:23:07.95
chapter 3, and if
you continue reading 1-4,
00:23:07.96\00:23:12.97
now the serpent was
the shrewdest of all the
00:23:15.91\00:23:18.26
creatures the Lord God had made.
00:23:18.27\00:23:20.11
Really? He asked the woman.
00:23:21.19\00:23:22.64
Did God really say you
must not eat any of the
00:23:23.41\00:23:26.17
fruit in the garden?
Of course we may eat it,
00:23:26.18\00:23:30.99
the woman told him.
It's only the fruit from
00:23:31.00\00:23:34.06
the tree at the
center of the garden that we
00:23:34.07\00:23:36.73
are not allowed to
eat. God says we must not
00:23:36.74\00:23:40.15
eat it or even
touch it, or we will die.
00:23:40.16\00:23:42.68
You won't die!
The serpent hissed.
00:23:43.79\00:23:45.54
God knows that
your eyes will be opened
00:23:46.14\00:23:48.64
when you eat it. You will become
00:23:48.65\00:23:50.53
just like God,
knowing everything,
00:23:50.54\00:23:52.64
both good and evil.
Now wait a minute what
00:23:52.65\00:23:55.16
did the serpent
just say? You won't die,
00:23:55.17\00:24:00.51
you won't die. Now we just saw
00:24:00.52\00:24:01.69
in the chapter
before that God said,
00:24:01.70\00:24:04.69
ye shall surely die
and here the serpent
00:24:05.34\00:24:08.51
saying ye shall not
die. This is a direct
00:24:08.52\00:24:13.87
contradiction to what God said.
00:24:13.88\00:24:15.89
What should Eve
have done at this point?
00:24:17.10\00:24:18.93
She should have
run, you're right.
00:24:20.86\00:24:22.20
She should have
run the other way.
00:24:22.21\00:24:23.56
But she didn't, she sinned.
00:24:23.57\00:24:26.24
You know when,
I was reading this
00:24:26.25\00:24:28.27
one time and I
was there thinking Eve
00:24:28.28\00:24:30.07
what in the world,
what are you doing?
00:24:30.08\00:24:31.55
Run, but you know
what then I thought about
00:24:31.56\00:24:36.01
it and I have
found myself in that same
00:24:36.02\00:24:38.63
situation in many
times. We still do it today.
00:24:38.64\00:24:41.60
We see that clear word of God,
00:24:42.47\00:24:44.67
I mean He
couldn't be more clear,
00:24:44.68\00:24:46.31
clear word of God,
but we will lend our ear
00:24:46.95\00:24:50.41
to hear that which
goes against what he
00:24:53.40\00:24:54.37
clearly said. If she had ran
00:24:54.38\00:24:56.70
she would not have
exposed herself to the
00:24:56.71\00:25:00.17
temptation that
now we're gonna see,
00:25:00.18\00:25:01.86
she put herself to.
Darlene, can you continue
00:25:01.87\00:25:04.17
reading, read verse 5 for us.
00:25:04.18\00:25:07.02
For God knows
that in the day ye eat
00:25:08.33\00:25:10.28
of it your eyes will be opened,
00:25:10.29\00:25:12.60
and you will be like
God, knowing good and evil.
00:25:14.01\00:25:17.70
Hey now, the serpent
00:25:17.71\00:25:19.01
saying them that
they are gonna know
00:25:19.02\00:25:20.67
good and evil. Now
there's some truth in
00:25:20.68\00:25:24.16
this and this is
just like saying to do,
00:25:24.17\00:25:25.98
mixing truth and an
error. They will know
00:25:25.99\00:25:29.55
good and evil. So far they have
00:25:29.56\00:25:32.97
known only
good, and it was God's
00:25:32.98\00:25:36.59
intention that, that's all
00:25:36.60\00:25:38.06
they would know,
He did not desire for
00:25:38.07\00:25:40.35
them to know evil. So what they,
00:25:40.36\00:25:43.32
He told them here
is actually truth.
00:25:43.33\00:25:45.86
Solita, can you
continue from 6-8?
00:25:47.47\00:25:50.29
And when the woman
saw that the tree was
00:25:53.56\00:25:55.46
good for food,
and that the tree to
00:25:55.47\00:25:58.71
be desired to make one wise,
00:25:58.72\00:26:00.29
she took the fruit
thereof and did eat,
00:26:00.83\00:26:03.24
and gave also unto
her husband with her;
00:26:03.25\00:26:05.86
and he did eat.
And the eyes of them
00:26:06.47\00:26:08.58
both were opened,
and they knew that they
00:26:08.59\00:26:11.29
were naked; and they sewed
00:26:11.30\00:26:13.66
fig leaves together, and made
00:26:13.67\00:26:16.02
themselves
aprons. And they heard
00:26:16.03\00:26:18.96
the voice of the
Lord God walking in the
00:26:18.97\00:26:21.20
garden in the cool of the day:
00:26:21.21\00:26:22.74
and Adam and his wife
hid themselves from the
00:26:23.37\00:26:25.68
presence of the
Lord, God amongst the trees
00:26:25.69\00:26:28.38
of the garden. Now what has
00:26:28.39\00:26:30.80
happened here? What
did Adam and Eve do?
00:26:30.81\00:26:36.16
They did what?
They ate of the fruit,
00:26:38.81\00:26:40.51
they ate of the fruit,
what was that considered?
00:26:40.52\00:26:42.35
A sin, a sin. A
sin, they sinned,
00:26:43.48\00:26:46.95
now why was it a
sin? They disobeyed God.
00:26:46.96\00:26:53.08
Now if you
really think about it,
00:26:53.56\00:26:54.81
when Eve was
told by God if you eat
00:26:55.70\00:26:58.68
it you shall
die. By her eating it,
00:26:58.69\00:27:02.46
what was that saying about her
00:27:03.90\00:27:06.71
relationship
with God? She doubted,
00:27:06.72\00:27:11.06
she doubted. If she had,
00:27:12.35\00:27:16.35
had through faith complete,
00:27:16.36\00:27:18.10
absolute trust in
God she wouldn't even
00:27:18.11\00:27:21.53
have heard
anything other than what God
00:27:21.54\00:27:23.83
had said she
would have believe that.
00:27:23.84\00:27:25.06
Now why would she eat a fruit,
00:27:25.07\00:27:26.23
if she believed
completely what God has said?
00:27:26.24\00:27:28.61
Disobedience is the
result of lack of faith.
00:27:30.27\00:27:33.70
The same way faith is
demonstrated by obe dience.
00:27:36.89\00:27:40.42
So here we see the
sin was demonstrated
00:27:40.43\00:27:43.11
by disobedience
but the sin itself was
00:27:43.12\00:27:44.81
lack of faith,
true faith is absolute
00:27:44.82\00:27:48.84
trust in God. And she doubted,
00:27:48.85\00:27:51.70
she doubted. Now why was that
00:27:53.77\00:27:55.84
when they heard
the voice of God in the
00:27:55.85\00:27:59.29
garden they hid? Exactly, shame,
00:27:59.30\00:28:04.82
they knew they were
wrong, this made them feel
00:28:04.83\00:28:06.79
ashamed and
guilty. Ashamed and guilty.
00:28:06.80\00:28:12.23
This is now when they
are experiencing evil,
00:28:12.24\00:28:16.23
what God never
intended them to experience,
00:28:16.24\00:28:19.80
and they didn't
know what to do with
00:28:20.25\00:28:21.23
it so they hid.
They hid from God.
00:28:21.24\00:28:25.03
Now was this just an
incident that happened
00:28:25.70\00:28:27.46
thousands of years
ago in a garden and
00:28:27.47\00:28:30.03
never happened
again? No. No and the Bible
00:28:30.04\00:28:34.55
confirms that we
are gonna look at
00:28:34.56\00:28:35.85
Romans chapter 3 verse
23 and this is our third
00:28:35.86\00:28:41.84
text of this study
so when you at the end
00:28:41.85\00:28:44.54
of this reference you
are going to be writing
00:28:44.55\00:28:46.22
3S in the
circle. We just came from
00:28:46.23\00:28:49.66
Genesis 2:16, 17 and
3:1-8 and we're gonna
00:28:49.67\00:28:54.84
be going to Romans
6:23 after that so you are
00:28:54.85\00:28:58.29
gonna put that on the bottom.
00:28:58.30\00:28:59.57
And we're right now
going to Romans 3:23. Gloria,
00:29:01.63\00:29:07.48
can you read that
for us? Romans 3:23,
00:29:07.49\00:29:13.78
yes Romans 3:23,
For all have sinned and
00:29:13.79\00:29:18.27
fall short of the glory of God.
00:29:18.28\00:29:20.57
Now here it says
that how many have sinned?
00:29:22.86\00:29:24.67
All. All have sinned.
So this is not something
00:29:24.68\00:29:27.28
that just Adam and Eve did,
00:29:27.29\00:29:28.40
this is something
that all have done.
00:29:28.41\00:29:30.67
We've all sinned. We have all
00:29:30.68\00:29:31.65
experienced
shame, we would have all
00:29:31.66\00:29:35.39
experienced
guilt, and we would have
00:29:35.40\00:29:37.38
all tried to hid from
God. Now the word here
00:29:37.39\00:29:41.74
fall short, the original Greek
00:29:41.75\00:29:49.05
word here it's
continually fall and if you,
00:29:49.06\00:29:52.00
if you consider your
life at least when I look
00:29:52.01\00:29:55.23
at mine I see that
continually falling short
00:29:55.24\00:29:59.17
of the glory of God
and this is something that
00:29:59.18\00:30:00.95
says continued
through, through the history of
00:30:00.96\00:30:05.98
this earth. Now we look at this,
00:30:05.99\00:30:08.35
we know that, it was not
00:30:08.36\00:30:10.54
Adam and Eve only did
sin but we have all sinned.
00:30:10.55\00:30:12.88
We all have sinned.
Let's see what the Bible
00:30:12.89\00:30:15.48
says is the
consequence of this sin in
00:30:15.49\00:30:18.73
Romans 6:23. Romans 6:23,
00:30:18.74\00:30:22.72
and if you look at the screen,
00:30:22.73\00:30:24.73
this is our forth
text, so you are going to be
00:30:24.74\00:30:27.53
writing 4S on the
circle above the line,
00:30:27.54\00:30:30.99
we just came from
Romans 3:23 and below
00:30:31.00\00:30:35.11
the line you are
gonna write John 1:1-4
00:30:35.12\00:30:37.62
and we are gonna
especially be looking
00:30:37.63\00:30:38.84
at verse 4, this is where we
00:30:38.85\00:30:40.90
are going afterwards.
We are on Romans 6:23
00:30:40.91\00:30:45.81
and Duson, can
you read that for us?
00:30:45.82\00:30:49.34
For the wages of sin is death;
00:30:49.85\00:30:51.68
but the gift of God
is eternal life through
00:30:52.52\00:30:55.32
Jesus Christ our Lord. Alright.
00:30:55.33\00:30:57.45
Now according to
this, what is the
00:30:57.61\00:30:59.26
consequences of
sin? Death, death.
00:30:59.27\00:31:02.35
Was not that what God
had told Adam and Eve.
00:31:02.36\00:31:05.05
Yes, if you eat you shall die.
00:31:05.88\00:31:07.29
So here again the
Bible is confirming the same
00:31:07.64\00:31:10.03
statement that if we are sinned,
00:31:10.04\00:31:13.23
the consequence of it is death.
00:31:13.24\00:31:15.99
Now why death?
Why not impressment or
00:31:17.13\00:31:19.88
and corporal
punishment? Why did it have
00:31:19.89\00:31:22.08
to be death? The Bible actually
00:31:22.09\00:31:24.53
answers this
question, we are gonna go to
00:31:24.54\00:31:26.22
John chapter 1,
and we are gonna be
00:31:26.23\00:31:28.96
looking at verses 1-4
to find out why is that the
00:31:28.97\00:31:32.54
penalty of sin is
death? John chapter 1,
00:31:32.55\00:31:40.22
we're looking at
verses 1-4 and this is our
00:31:40.87\00:31:43.80
fifth text so you
are marking your Bible,
00:31:43.81\00:31:46.42
at the end of
this reference you're
00:31:46.43\00:31:48.90
going to write as it
looks on the screen 5S
00:31:48.91\00:31:51.71
in the circle above
that we just came from
00:31:51.72\00:31:54.99
Romans 6:23 and then
below it you are gonna
00:31:55.00\00:31:57.83
write Isaiah 59:1, 2
that's what we are going
00:31:57.84\00:32:00.43
to go after this
text. And Tim, can you read
00:32:00.44\00:32:03.91
that for us? Sure.
00:32:03.92\00:32:05.17
In the beginning was the Word,
00:32:06.75\00:32:08.45
and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
00:32:08.46\00:32:12.44
The same was in
the beginning with God.
00:32:13.31\00:32:15.24
All things were made by Him;
00:32:15.87\00:32:17.40
and without Him was
not any thing made that
00:32:17.41\00:32:20.33
was made. In Him was life;
00:32:20.34\00:32:22.63
and the life was the
light of men. Alright.
00:32:22.64\00:32:27.00
According to these
verses, where do we find the
00:32:27.01\00:32:30.40
source of life? In God,
in God, in Jesus himself.
00:32:30.41\00:32:35.04
So here this is
telling is that the source
00:32:35.48\00:32:37.81
of life is God,
God is the source
00:32:37.82\00:32:41.77
of all life, God is the source
00:32:41.78\00:32:43.95
of all life. Now continuing
00:32:43.96\00:32:45.43
this thought, we are gonna go
00:32:45.44\00:32:46.48
to Isaiah 59 verses 1 and 2,
00:32:46.49\00:32:49.79
we are still
looking to see why is that,
00:32:50.18\00:32:52.52
the penalty of sin is death?
00:32:52.53\00:32:55.79
Isaiah 59 verses 1 and
2. and this is our sixth
00:32:55.80\00:33:02.29
text on this study
so at the end of this
00:33:02.30\00:33:08.90
reference you're going
to be writing as it looks
00:33:08.91\00:33:11.53
on the screen 6S in
a circle draw a line,
00:33:11.54\00:33:16.19
above the line John
1:1-4 that's where we
00:33:16.20\00:33:19.83
come from, and below the
00:33:19.84\00:33:21.23
line John 3:16 and
17, that's where we are
00:33:21.24\00:33:24.90
going to. Isaiah
59 verse 1 and 2,
00:33:24.91\00:33:32.02
Ryan, can you read
that for us please?
00:33:32.45\00:33:34.28
Behold, the Lord's
hand is not shortened,
00:33:34.96\00:33:37.12
that it cannot save;
neither his ear heavy,
00:33:37.13\00:33:39.50
that it cannot hear:
But your iniquities have
00:33:39.51\00:33:42.51
separated
between you and your God,
00:33:42.52\00:33:44.83
and your sins have
hid His face from you,
00:33:44.84\00:33:47.91
that He will
not hear. Very good.
00:33:47.92\00:33:51.74
Now here what does it
say the sin does to us?
00:33:51.75\00:33:57.60
It separates, it
separates us from God.
00:33:57.61\00:34:01.35
It separates us from God.
00:34:01.36\00:34:03.08
Now we looked at the
verse before that the source
00:34:03.48\00:34:08.48
of life is God. God
is source of all life.
00:34:08.49\00:34:13.46
And now here we
see that sin separates
00:34:14.03\00:34:16.09
us from God. Now if God is the
00:34:16.10\00:34:20.66
source of all life
and we're separated
00:34:20.67\00:34:23.16
from them, from Him what is
00:34:23.17\00:34:25.70
the sure result? Death, death.
00:34:25.71\00:34:29.26
Can you see now why
sin, the consequence of
00:34:30.60\00:34:34.19
sin is death?
Yes, it's clear now.
00:34:34.20\00:34:37.89
God is the source of
all life and if we are
00:34:38.47\00:34:42.29
separated from Him
there's nothing else that
00:34:42.30\00:34:46.13
can happen but that
death will come along.
00:34:46.14\00:34:48.52
Now we have seen so
far that God created
00:34:50.12\00:34:53.17
man into His
image, which means that
00:34:53.18\00:34:58.03
man was what?
Perfect. Man was perfect.
00:34:58.04\00:35:02.71
Now we see man is
not perfect now and it's
00:35:03.44\00:35:06.07
because we had Adam
and Eve disobeying God.
00:35:06.08\00:35:11.09
They distrusted His
word, and disobeyed Him.
00:35:12.33\00:35:16.72
Now God made clear
what would happen if
00:35:18.64\00:35:22.42
they disobeyed?
If we look that what
00:35:22.43\00:35:28.89
happened right
now? We have sinned that
00:35:28.90\00:35:32.17
God said if they
eat they will die.
00:35:32.18\00:35:34.38
We have sinned that the
Bible says that all have
00:35:34.39\00:35:37.05
sinned and fall short
of the glory of God and
00:35:37.06\00:35:39.98
we have sinned that
the Bible says that their
00:35:39.99\00:35:42.33
consequence of sin is death.
00:35:42.34\00:35:43.99
If we stop right
here this will be a very,
00:35:44.00\00:35:48.62
very sad story.
Now we think about it
00:35:48.63\00:35:53.03
God told Adam and
Eve if you ate it,
00:35:54.52\00:35:57.26
you will die. So
if he left at here,
00:35:57.27\00:36:00.87
would he still be
a fair and just God?
00:36:00.88\00:36:06.23
Yes, of course. He told them if
00:36:09.43\00:36:13.32
they ate of the
fruit that they will die
00:36:13.33\00:36:16.50
so if he left at
that he was leaving them
00:36:16.51\00:36:19.57
to the consequences
of what they chose to do.
00:36:19.58\00:36:21.80
You know I was a
teacher, an elementary school
00:36:22.85\00:36:25.84
teacher for ten years
and there was something
00:36:25.85\00:36:28.82
that I decided I was
going to do every year
00:36:28.83\00:36:31.50
I was just very,
very careful at this,
00:36:31.51\00:36:34.04
and it was I
wanted to make sure that I
00:36:34.05\00:36:37.56
was fair and
just with my students.
00:36:37.57\00:36:40.39
That was important to
me. And so at the beginning
00:36:40.40\00:36:43.57
of the year I spent quite a few,
00:36:43.58\00:36:46.68
most of my time at
that time just giving clear
00:36:48.69\00:36:52.67
expectations of
what should happen in the
00:36:52.68\00:36:56.96
classroom the
type of behavior that
00:36:56.97\00:36:59.29
should be there,
the type of work I
00:36:59.30\00:37:00.67
was expecting and
I was very clear the
00:37:00.68\00:37:02.97
consequences that
will come if they happened.
00:37:02.98\00:37:05.42
Throughout the year
I make sure those were
00:37:05.85\00:37:08.11
refreshed as well, so
that the students knew.
00:37:08.12\00:37:11.23
Now I had one
student who came in the
00:37:11.24\00:37:14.84
middle of the year
because he was having issues
00:37:14.85\00:37:16.79
behaving in his
previous classrooms,
00:37:16.80\00:37:18.92
so they sent him to my class.
00:37:18.93\00:37:20.18
And I, and I, he,
I noticed right way
00:37:20.88\00:37:23.57
that he was a
very bright student.
00:37:23.58\00:37:25.71
And everything
that we were doing he
00:37:27.24\00:37:29.46
would pick it up right away,
00:37:29.47\00:37:30.68
and he was very
quick at everything.
00:37:30.69\00:37:33.43
So I knew that his
problem was not academic.
00:37:34.42\00:37:38.37
So it's, I saw that he
was finished earlier so
00:37:40.27\00:37:42.89
I began to tell him
you know if you are done
00:37:42.90\00:37:45.37
and you are finished,
there's other few things
00:37:45.38\00:37:48.23
that you can do, now he love to
00:37:48.24\00:37:49.84
go to the computer.
So I told him if you
00:37:49.85\00:37:54.17
are done with your
work, you may go to the
00:37:54.18\00:37:57.39
computer but this
is what you can do when
00:37:57.40\00:37:58.84
you go there.
There's these three
00:37:58.85\00:38:00.89
websites that you can
go to they were educational
00:38:00.90\00:38:03.93
websites where
he can do different
00:38:03.94\00:38:05.67
activities there. And I said,
00:38:05.68\00:38:08.64
but if you go out
side of those websites you
00:38:08.65\00:38:13.34
will lose your privilege
to use the computer for
00:38:13.35\00:38:15.15
the next three
weeks. Now he went in there
00:38:15.16\00:38:18.75
for several days and
everything was fine but
00:38:18.76\00:38:21.83
one day he decided
I'm going to go and do
00:38:21.84\00:38:24.13
what I want. So he went and
00:38:24.14\00:38:26.15
he was in a different website,
00:38:26.16\00:38:27.32
and you know
pretty soon one of the
00:38:28.63\00:38:30.38
students told
me, you know they are
00:38:30.39\00:38:31.36
very good at that,
they to tell anything
00:38:31.37\00:38:32.86
when they're in the
first and second grade,
00:38:32.87\00:38:34.07
that's just their
favorite thing is to do.
00:38:34.08\00:38:35.73
Sometimes you get tired of it.
00:38:35.74\00:38:37.02
Someone right away,
Miss, Miss Eleida Feliciano,
00:38:37.03\00:38:40.14
he is in a
website he shouldn't be in
00:38:40.15\00:38:41.79
so I went over there
and I said you need to
00:38:41.80\00:38:44.31
get off the computer
and you will not have the
00:38:44.32\00:38:46.83
computer again for
the next three weeks.
00:38:46.84\00:38:48.06
Now one of their
favorite phrases is,
00:38:48.47\00:38:50.34
that's not
fair. So he said that.
00:38:50.35\00:38:53.03
And I looked at him and
I said, really, you know.
00:38:53.59\00:38:55.50
It's really
important for me to be fair,
00:38:55.51\00:38:58.42
so if it's not
fair I want to know why
00:38:58.43\00:39:00.78
it's not fair, so
let's look at this.
00:39:00.79\00:39:02.73
Did you know that
you could not go to
00:39:03.31\00:39:05.58
that website,
yes, did I tell you
00:39:05.59\00:39:07.70
what would happen if
you went outside of the
00:39:07.71\00:39:11.01
three websites that
I told you could go to,
00:39:11.02\00:39:13.15
yes, then is that not fair?
00:39:14.10\00:39:17.08
And he stood quite for
a little bit and he said
00:39:18.23\00:39:20.50
yeah it's fair. You can't say
00:39:20.51\00:39:23.92
anything else, there was clear
00:39:23.93\00:39:25.29
expectation and he
had, he knew what the
00:39:25.30\00:39:29.21
consequences would
be. No, I never said if
00:39:29.22\00:39:31.96
you do something you
are gonna lose it for
00:39:31.97\00:39:34.28
the rest of the year, 'cause I,
00:39:34.29\00:39:35.26
you know you wanna
be fair also in the
00:39:35.27\00:39:36.86
consequences you
gave. I gave him a chance
00:39:36.87\00:39:38.92
after the three
weeks, and now he would
00:39:38.93\00:39:43.06
not do that again
'cause he didn't wanna missed
00:39:43.07\00:39:44.48
out on his
computer. So we see that you
00:39:44.49\00:39:47.81
know when we want to be fair,
00:39:47.82\00:39:49.40
this is what we
did. So God would
00:39:51.62\00:39:52.59
have still be fair,
because he gave clear
00:39:52.60\00:39:54.43
expectations and
the told them what the
00:39:54.44\00:39:57.00
consequences would
be. But I am so happy
00:39:57.01\00:40:00.41
that God is not
just fair and just,
00:40:00.42\00:40:03.71
but he is also loving
and merciful. Amen, amen.
00:40:03.72\00:40:09.34
And so even though
it would have been just
00:40:09.61\00:40:12.06
the right thing to
do, they decided to die,
00:40:12.07\00:40:14.11
God told them and
they did it anyway but
00:40:15.21\00:40:17.90
God intervened. And we are gonna
00:40:17.91\00:40:19.46
see in the Bible what
God did to rescue men from
00:40:19.47\00:40:23.40
the consequences
of their own actions.
00:40:23.41\00:40:25.33
And we are going
now to John 3:16 and 17,
00:40:26.01\00:40:30.47
John 3:16 and 17.
00:40:30.48\00:40:32.82
Now at the end
of this reference,
00:40:39.68\00:40:41.96
this is our seventh
text so you're going
00:40:43.57\00:40:45.74
to be writing as it
shows on the screen,
00:40:45.75\00:40:48.08
7S on the circle, draw a line,
00:40:48.09\00:40:51.04
above it Isaiah 59:1
and 2 that's where we
00:40:51.05\00:40:54.42
came from, below it
00:40:54.43\00:40:56.37
Matthew 20 verse 28
that's where we are going
00:40:56.38\00:40:59.30
to after this
verse. And we are in John 3
00:40:59.31\00:41:03.89
and we are looking
at verses 16 and 17,
00:41:03.90\00:41:08.17
Anita can you read that for us?
00:41:08.18\00:41:10.34
For God so loved the world,
00:41:11.41\00:41:13.22
that he gave his
only begotten Son,
00:41:13.75\00:41:15.67
that whosoever believeth in him
00:41:16.44\00:41:18.08
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
00:41:18.09\00:41:21.43
For God sent not his
Son into the world to
00:41:22.10\00:41:24.46
condemn the world;
but that the world through
00:41:24.47\00:41:27.11
him might be saved.
Amen. Thank you sister.
00:41:27.12\00:41:31.38
Now here we see
that God has intervened.
00:41:31.39\00:41:36.36
Now, how, what did
he do to save us from
00:41:36.56\00:41:42.01
the consequences of
sin? He gave his son.
00:41:42.02\00:41:46.19
Not just any guy,
not one of his servants,
00:41:47.72\00:41:49.40
not one of his, we
know think about our
00:41:51.36\00:41:53.45
family and the
people we love and we
00:41:53.46\00:41:54.67
love everybody, you know but
00:41:54.68\00:41:56.32
there is a degree
of love that we have
00:41:56.33\00:41:57.97
for everyone. You know it will
00:41:57.98\00:41:59.23
be easier for me to
give up one of my cousins
00:41:59.24\00:42:01.15
whom I love but you
know they're more distant,
00:42:01.16\00:42:03.60
the closer they get to
you a sister will be a lot
00:42:04.33\00:42:06.15
harder for me. Now
I don't have children,
00:42:06.16\00:42:07.76
but I know that it
has to be a lot harder.
00:42:09.49\00:42:12.64
Now he did not just
give one of the angels
00:42:13.77\00:42:16.16
or one of the, He
gave His only son,
00:42:16.17\00:42:19.32
that one has been
with Him for eternity.
00:42:19.33\00:42:22.62
Now according to these verses,
00:42:23.77\00:42:25.20
what motivated him to do so?
00:42:25.21\00:42:28.15
Love. It says
He loved the world.
00:42:29.37\00:42:32.48
Love motivated God to do this.
00:42:34.26\00:42:36.89
He did not have to do it,
00:42:37.84\00:42:39.02
He did not have to do it,
00:42:41.23\00:42:42.20
He had told Adam
and Eve the consequences
00:42:42.21\00:42:45.18
they did, they deserved the
00:42:45.19\00:42:46.50
consequences. But because
00:42:46.51\00:42:48.85
God loves the
world, He loves you,
00:42:48.86\00:42:52.22
He loves me so much
that he came up and you know
00:42:52.23\00:42:59.30
he decided to give up his son.
00:42:59.31\00:43:01.53
This whole
point, that was not just
00:43:02.56\00:43:03.77
He came and die, He
had to live on this earth,
00:43:03.78\00:43:05.92
well He was
mistreated, rejected,
00:43:05.93\00:43:09.10
spat upon and He did
that because of love.
00:43:09.78\00:43:14.07
Now I know none of
us know that kind of
00:43:16.77\00:43:18.36
love on this earth,
there's not one person
00:43:18.37\00:43:20.17
that loves you that
much. And a lot of times
00:43:20.18\00:43:23.22
we hear people
saying I love you,
00:43:23.23\00:43:24.60
and it's, sometimes
you wonder 'cause their
00:43:24.61\00:43:27.44
actions don't really show it.
00:43:27.45\00:43:28.68
Now you don't have
to wonder with God.
00:43:29.58\00:43:30.72
Sometimes I wonder
why he loves me so much,
00:43:32.56\00:43:34.67
because I, He does so much
00:43:34.68\00:43:35.94
for us and you wonder why.
00:43:35.95\00:43:37.43
It's a love that can
not be understood but
00:43:39.00\00:43:41.28
it's a true love.
Now we learned that
00:43:41.29\00:43:43.34
the result of sin is
death. Now how does God
00:43:43.35\00:43:47.65
gave in his son,
saved us from the
00:43:47.66\00:43:50.91
penalty of sin
we're gonna look at
00:43:52.47\00:43:53.44
Matthew chapter 20 and verse 28,
00:43:53.45\00:43:55.67
Matthew 20 verse 28.
Now as we're going through
00:43:56.50\00:44:02.21
this study remember
always that we are doing
00:44:02.22\00:44:04.93
this study we are
centering in Christ
00:44:04.94\00:44:06.63
and this is why I'm
making sure as you're
00:44:06.64\00:44:08.32
going the study
you're leading people back to
00:44:08.33\00:44:10.70
the fact that God loves them,
00:44:10.71\00:44:12.10
God is a God of
love, you want to make sure
00:44:12.47\00:44:15.10
you are establishing
that because you want
00:44:15.11\00:44:16.94
them to connect with
God. If they came out of
00:44:16.95\00:44:19.93
there and they
just knew about God but
00:44:19.94\00:44:22.49
didn't know Him,
they're still not
00:44:22.50\00:44:24.34
gonna have
salvation. 'Cause salvation
00:44:24.35\00:44:26.96
is in him. So we wanna
00:44:26.97\00:44:28.66
make sure we
leading people to God,
00:44:28.67\00:44:30.12
this is our eight
text so at the end of this
00:44:30.13\00:44:33.73
reference you are
going to be writing
00:44:33.74\00:44:35.20
8S in a circle, draw a line,
00:44:35.21\00:44:37.89
above the line John 3:16,
00:44:37.90\00:44:40.18
17 that's where we came from.
00:44:40.19\00:44:41.82
We are going to be
go into Romans 5:10
00:44:42.74\00:44:45.14
so that will be below the line.
00:44:45.15\00:44:47.78
Matthew chapter 20 verse 28,
00:44:48.43\00:44:51.33
Tom, can you read
that for us please?
00:44:51.34\00:44:52.99
Just as the Son of
man did not to be served,
00:44:54.22\00:44:57.51
but to serve, and to give his
00:44:58.15\00:45:00.34
life a ransom
for many. Very good.
00:45:00.35\00:45:03.28
He gave His life as a ransom,
00:45:03.29\00:45:04.86
what's a ransom? The price.
00:45:04.87\00:45:08.32
It's a payment, it's a price.
00:45:08.33\00:45:09.68
So he paid with
His own life for ours,
00:45:10.07\00:45:12.79
you know what,
He took our place,
00:45:13.53\00:45:15.00
the death that
we should have died,
00:45:15.69\00:45:17.34
He died for us, He died for us.
00:45:19.93\00:45:20.90
We learned also that
sin separates us from God,
00:45:20.91\00:45:23.98
now we know He
paid now the penalty
00:45:25.37\00:45:26.87
of sin but how we
are going to be solved
00:45:26.88\00:45:29.77
that problem of that
separation from God so
00:45:29.78\00:45:32.14
we can continue in
life. Now we are gonna look
00:45:32.15\00:45:34.30
at that in Romans 5 verse 10,
00:45:34.31\00:45:37.42
Romans 5 verse 10.
And this is why here,
00:45:37.43\00:45:42.94
we are looking
now at the ninth text
00:45:42.95\00:45:45.33
in our study. So at the end
00:45:45.34\00:45:47.37
of this reference you
are going to Mark as it
00:45:47.38\00:45:50.08
shows on the screen
9S in the circle above
00:45:50.09\00:45:54.58
the line Matthew
20:28 this is where we
00:45:54.59\00:45:56.88
just came from and
we are gonna be going
00:45:56.89\00:45:58.77
to Ephesians
2:8, we are gonna be
00:45:58.78\00:46:02.05
go into
Ephesians 2:8. Romans 5:10,
00:46:02.06\00:46:05.43
Mike, could you
please read that for us?
00:46:07.80\00:46:09.68
For if, when we were enemies,
00:46:11.87\00:46:13.12
we were reconciled to God by the
00:46:13.13\00:46:14.91
death of his Son, much more,
00:46:14.92\00:46:17.16
being
reconciled, we shall be saved
00:46:17.17\00:46:20.24
by his life. Now here it
00:46:20.25\00:46:23.50
tells us the
solution of the separation,
00:46:23.51\00:46:26.29
Mike what did it say about,
00:46:26.30\00:46:27.53
about that
separation, what does God,
00:46:28.73\00:46:31.08
what does Jesus does for us?
00:46:31.09\00:46:32.77
The death of his
son, we are reconciled.
00:46:35.03\00:46:37.16
He reconciles us back to God.
00:46:37.17\00:46:39.62
So we were separated
but when we receive Christ,
00:46:40.16\00:46:43.05
He reconciles us back to God,
00:46:43.63\00:46:47.88
back to God.
Now when Jesus died,
00:46:47.89\00:46:50.73
who did He die for? All of us.
00:46:50.74\00:46:53.56
All of us, all of us.
00:46:53.57\00:46:55.21
His death paid for
the sins of every person
00:46:55.54\00:47:00.47
on this earth. Now, is everybody
00:47:00.48\00:47:04.86
gonna be saved?
No. No. But His life,
00:47:04.87\00:47:10.80
I mean His death paid
for the penalty of the sin
00:47:10.81\00:47:14.47
of every person on this earth,
00:47:14.48\00:47:16.95
it's available to
everyone and yes it
00:47:16.96\00:47:19.40
is a free gift. But we have
00:47:19.41\00:47:23.19
the choice to receive
it. And how do we receive
00:47:23.20\00:47:27.69
the salvation
that's what we are gonna
00:47:27.70\00:47:28.95
look at now, in
Ephesians 2:8 how we
00:47:28.96\00:47:31.91
receive this precious
gift that God had given us.
00:47:31.92\00:47:36.62
Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8,
00:47:36.63\00:47:39.91
this is the tenth
text on our study and we're
00:47:41.06\00:47:45.89
going to mark 10S in the circle,
00:47:45.90\00:47:48.30
Romans 5:10 above
that's where we came from,
00:47:48.31\00:47:50.96
we are going to
John 8:24 after this.
00:47:50.97\00:47:54.50
We are now in Ephesians 2:8,
00:47:55.05\00:47:58.28
Vanessa can you
read that for us?
00:47:58.29\00:47:59.74
Thank you. For by grace are ye
00:48:05.61\00:48:10.08
saved through
faith; and that not
00:48:10.09\00:48:14.46
of yourselves: it
is the gift of God.
00:48:14.47\00:48:16.98
Very good. Now how
do we receive salvation?
00:48:17.64\00:48:19.66
Through faith, by
grace though faith.
00:48:21.48\00:48:25.07
Now grace here means is a gift,
00:48:25.93\00:48:27.72
God has given it and we
receive it through faith.
00:48:27.73\00:48:30.91
Now faith is not
something that we just profess.
00:48:31.16\00:48:34.49
There's a lot of
people who profess
00:48:35.97\00:48:37.23
things but faith,
true faith is expressed
00:48:37.24\00:48:40.83
by our actions. Now we're going
00:48:40.84\00:48:43.74
to look at a few
verses that shows us the
00:48:43.75\00:48:46.69
expression of true
faith and we are gonna
00:48:46.70\00:48:49.58
look at verses that
Jesus himself was speaking
00:48:49.59\00:48:51.85
and if you have one
of these Bibles that have
00:48:51.86\00:48:54.07
red lettering for
Jesus writings that you will
00:48:54.08\00:48:57.42
see that the next
following verses that
00:48:57.43\00:49:00.24
we are gonna look
at are all in red.
00:49:00.25\00:49:01.91
Jesus himself was
saying that if we have
00:49:02.23\00:49:03.77
faith in Him we
will believe His words.
00:49:03.78\00:49:07.37
Now we are gonna look
at what the expressions
00:49:07.91\00:49:09.99
of faith are and the
first one we are gonna
00:49:10.00\00:49:12.44
look at is in John 8 verse 24,
00:49:12.45\00:49:16.44
this is the
eleventh text on our study
00:49:17.35\00:49:20.86
so we are going
to mark at the end of
00:49:20.87\00:49:22.80
this reference, 11S,
above the line Romans 5:10
00:49:22.81\00:49:27.49
that's where we came
from and we are going
00:49:27.50\00:49:29.17
to Luke 13:2-5 after
that. So we are now on
00:49:29.18\00:49:34.60
John 8:24.
Danielle, can you read that
00:49:34.61\00:49:41.77
for us please? I
said therefore unto you,
00:49:41.78\00:49:45.41
that ye shall die in your sins:
00:49:45.42\00:49:47.46
for if ye
believe not that I am he,
00:49:48.04\00:49:49.66
ye shall die in your
sins. Now what does it say
00:49:49.67\00:49:53.06
here about
salvation? We have to believe,
00:49:53.07\00:49:58.25
believe in what? In Jesus,
00:49:58.26\00:50:00.80
that if ye
believe not that I am he.
00:50:00.81\00:50:04.58
So if you don't
believe that Jesus is
00:50:05.59\00:50:07.59
the Messiah, the one that
00:50:07.60\00:50:08.87
came to die for
you then you are now
00:50:08.88\00:50:11.32
gonna have salvation
so the first thing we
00:50:11.33\00:50:12.66
need to do, to receive this
00:50:12.67\00:50:13.78
salvation that how we
demonstrate the faith is
00:50:13.79\00:50:16.94
believing in
Jesus, believing in Jesus.
00:50:16.95\00:50:19.94
Let's see what else it tells,
00:50:19.95\00:50:21.72
Jesus tells us that we
need to do as we express
00:50:21.73\00:50:25.28
our faith in Luke
chapter 13 verses 2-5,
00:50:25.29\00:50:30.04
Luke 13:2-5 and you
are gonna mark at the end
00:50:30.72\00:50:34.98
of this reference as it
shows on the screen 12S,
00:50:34.99\00:50:39.88
and then above it.
John 8:24 that's where
00:50:40.54\00:50:43.03
we came from and
we will be going to
00:50:43.04\00:50:44.48
Mark 16:16 after
that. Luke 13 verse 2-5,
00:50:44.49\00:50:52.17
Bill, can you read that for us?
00:50:52.79\00:50:54.21
And Jesus
answered and said to them,
00:50:54.84\00:50:56.31
do you suppose that
these Galilaeans were worse
00:50:56.32\00:50:59.87
sinners than all
other Galilaeans,
00:50:59.88\00:51:01.51
because they
suffered such things?
00:51:01.52\00:51:03.66
I tell you, no:
but unless you repent,
00:51:04.48\00:51:06.71
you will all likewise perish.
00:51:07.79\00:51:09.64
Or those
eighteen on whom the tower
00:51:09.65\00:51:12.81
in Siloam fell, and killed them,
00:51:12.82\00:51:15.42
do you think that
they were worse sinners
00:51:15.43\00:51:17.34
than all the other men
who dwelt in Jerusalem?
00:51:20.13\00:51:21.10
I tell you, no:
but, unless you repent,
00:51:21.11\00:51:22.63
you will all likewise
perish. Now here what does
00:51:22.64\00:51:26.16
Jesus tells us we
have to do to make sure we
00:51:26.17\00:51:27.83
don't perish and we are saved,
00:51:27.84\00:51:28.95
to repent, to repent.
00:51:30.05\00:51:32.42
We must believe in
Him and we must repent,
00:51:33.13\00:51:37.27
what are we repenting from?
00:51:37.28\00:51:39.25
Sin, sin. Our wrong
ways Now when you repent,
00:51:40.10\00:51:43.53
do you just say
I am sorry, no, no.
00:51:43.54\00:51:46.61
there's change, yeah because
00:51:46.62\00:51:48.04
when you repent,
it's a change of mind,
00:51:48.05\00:51:49.90
is deciding you know
this is wrong I don't
00:51:49.91\00:51:52.37
wanna do this and
you walk away from it.
00:51:55.00\00:51:55.97
you might fall into
it again because we are,
00:51:55.98\00:51:57.75
you know, human beings are weak,
00:51:57.76\00:51:59.15
but you are not
willingly going back to it.
00:51:59.16\00:52:03.16
So you are
turning from that sin.
00:52:04.22\00:52:06.53
So Jesus told us
we must believe in him
00:52:07.05\00:52:09.27
and we must
repent. We are gonna look
00:52:09.28\00:52:12.17
at Mark 16, verse 16 now to see
00:52:12.18\00:52:15.22
what else shows or expresses our
00:52:15.65\00:52:18.54
faith in God. Mark 16:16,
00:52:18.55\00:52:23.71
He who believes in and
baptized will be saved.
00:52:24.45\00:52:29.24
but he who does not
believe will be condemned.
00:52:29.25\00:52:34.35
Very good, thank you.
00:52:34.36\00:52:36.49
Now here what is
it telling us about
00:52:36.85\00:52:39.01
salvation here? We
have to believe and,
00:52:39.02\00:52:44.00
be baptized, be baptized,
00:52:44.01\00:52:45.96
that's the
demonstration of your faith.
00:52:45.97\00:52:47.68
Now you, Jesus
told us believe in Him,
00:52:47.88\00:52:50.34
we repent and be
baptized. And baptism is just a
00:52:51.06\00:52:55.83
demonstration of
faith, when you are showing
00:52:55.84\00:52:59.97
the world that you've
chosen to follow Christ.
00:52:59.98\00:53:02.67
Now the end of this
reference you are gonna
00:53:02.90\00:53:04.75
make sure that you
mark 13S in the circle
00:53:04.76\00:53:09.61
above it Luke 13
verses 2-5 and below it
00:53:09.88\00:53:13.82
Revelation
2:10, we will be going
00:53:13.83\00:53:16.00
through Revelation
2:10 and we are gonna see
00:53:16.01\00:53:18.25
there the last verse
that we are gonna look
00:53:18.26\00:53:21.00
at the
demonstrations of faith on our
00:53:21.01\00:53:24.73
study today. This is Revelation
00:53:24.74\00:53:27.67
chapter 2 and verse
10, at the end of that
00:53:27.68\00:53:39.38
reference you are
going to be marking as it
00:53:39.39\00:53:41.86
shows on the screen, this is the
00:53:41.87\00:53:43.74
fourteenth
verse, so you are gonna
00:53:43.75\00:53:46.10
write 14S, you are gonna
00:53:46.11\00:53:47.95
write above the line
Mark 16:16 and below it
00:53:47.96\00:53:52.60
Second Peter 3:9
that's where we will be going
00:53:52.61\00:53:56.00
after this one. We are now in
00:53:56.01\00:53:57.81
Revelation 2:10, Jessica can you
00:53:57.82\00:54:01.56
read that for us?
Don't be afraid of
00:54:01.57\00:54:04.99
what you are about to suffer.
00:54:05.00\00:54:06.75
The devil will throw
some of you into prison
00:54:07.64\00:54:10.60
and put you to the
test. You will be persecuted
00:54:10.61\00:54:13.91
for ten days,
remain faithful even
00:54:13.92\00:54:16.93
facing death, and I will give
00:54:16.94\00:54:19.19
you the crown of
life. There you know,
00:54:19.20\00:54:22.76
why does Jesus tells
us here that we must do?
00:54:22.77\00:54:25.71
It says remain faithful,
we must remain faithful.
00:54:27.75\00:54:31.88
It says we have
chosen now that we know
00:54:32.26\00:54:34.48
that the gift, the
salvation is a gift,
00:54:34.49\00:54:36.96
it's given to us and
we must receive it but
00:54:37.78\00:54:40.41
to be able to, to be saved we
00:54:40.42\00:54:42.59
must remain faithful,
I mean we need to keep
00:54:42.60\00:54:46.34
this, His gift. You can and you
00:54:46.35\00:54:48.77
are still free at
any point to let go
00:54:48.78\00:54:52.12
of that gift. So it does not
00:54:52.13\00:54:55.65
mean once you
receive it you are saved and
00:54:55.66\00:54:57.84
that's it you can
walk away from that,
00:54:57.85\00:54:59.67
you are still has
the same freedom that
00:55:00.38\00:55:02.33
you had to receive
it in the first place.
00:55:02.34\00:55:05.04
So we must remain faithful,
00:55:05.82\00:55:08.67
we must remain faithful.
00:55:10.02\00:55:11.50
The Lord has given us the gift,
00:55:12.85\00:55:15.09
He has given us the choice,
00:55:16.40\00:55:19.07
it is our choice.
Let's look at Second Peter
00:55:23.97\00:55:24.94
chapter 3 verse 9, Second Peter
00:55:24.95\00:55:26.56
chapter 3 verse 9,
excuse me for a minute,
00:55:26.57\00:55:33.30
this is the our fifteenth text,
00:55:33.31\00:55:35.14
and you are gonna
mark it just as it shows
00:55:35.15\00:55:36.93
on the screen,
15S, above the line
00:55:36.94\00:55:40.21
Revelation 2:10 and
we're gonna be going into
00:55:40.22\00:55:42.72
First John 5:1 -13 after that,
00:55:42.73\00:55:45.11
Darlene, can you
read that for us.
00:55:45.82\00:55:47.30
The Lord is not slack
concerning his promise,
00:55:48.86\00:55:51.33
as some count slackness;
00:55:51.34\00:55:52.88
but is long suffering toward us,
00:55:54.22\00:55:56.25
not willing that
any should perish,
00:55:56.26\00:55:58.49
but that all
should come to repentance.
00:55:58.50\00:56:00.77
Okay. Now here
again we are seeing God as
00:56:00.78\00:56:05.64
a long suffering
God. How many does He
00:56:05.65\00:56:10.15
want to perish?
None, He is not willing
00:56:10.16\00:56:13.69
that any should
perish, He wants each of us
00:56:13.70\00:56:17.47
to be saved that's
what His heart long,
00:56:17.48\00:56:19.61
He longs to save
us, He longs to save us,
00:56:19.62\00:56:25.66
He longs to save you
my friend but the choice
00:56:25.67\00:56:28.56
continues to be ours.
And every time we walk
00:56:28.57\00:56:31.68
away from it He
still goes after us and He
00:56:31.69\00:56:35.01
continues to seek after us,
00:56:35.02\00:56:37.64
but the choice
continues to be ours.
00:56:38.19\00:56:40.26
We're going to be
going to our last text
00:56:40.62\00:56:42.58
which is found in
First John 5:11-13
00:56:42.59\00:56:47.50
since this is the
last text when you mark it,
00:56:47.51\00:56:50.21
as shown on the screen
you are going to put 16S,
00:56:50.22\00:56:52.82
you are going to put
Second Peter 3:9 and End,
00:56:53.21\00:56:56.87
okay. Second Peter 3:9,
00:56:56.88\00:56:59.38
Solita, can you
read that for us,
00:56:59.39\00:57:00.59
that's First John
5:11-13. And this is the record,
00:57:01.18\00:57:07.61
that God hath
given to us eternal life,
00:57:07.62\00:57:10.24
and this life is in his Son.
00:57:10.25\00:57:12.81
He that hath the Son hath life;
00:57:13.70\00:57:15.54
and he that hath
not the Son of God
00:57:16.35\00:57:18.48
hath not life. These things have
00:57:18.49\00:57:21.16
I written unto you
that believe on the name of
00:57:21.17\00:57:25.78
the Son of God; that ye may know
00:57:25.79\00:57:28.17
that ye have eternal
life, and that ye may
00:57:28.18\00:57:31.38
believe on the
name of the Son of God.
00:57:31.39\00:57:33.42
Okay now here it
tells us that to have
00:57:35.61\00:57:37.75
life we must have
Jesus, Jesus gives us life.
00:57:37.76\00:57:42.51
