Have you thanked Him

says about giving thanks.
00:01:39.56\00:01:44.30
"Enter His gates

00:01:44.33\00:01:46.67
and His courts with praise.
00:01:46.70\00:01:48.60

00:01:48.64\00:01:51.27
Psalm 100:4.
00:01:51.31\00:01:55.28
Enter His gates

Do you have any neighbors
that live close to you?
00:03:08.98\00:03:11.75
Do you have any
neighbors that live far away?
00:03:11.79\00:03:14.09
That sounds kind
of funny, doesn't it?
00:03:14.12\00:03:16.49
We usually think of neighbors
00:03:16.52\00:03:17.86
as those who live
right next door to us,
00:03:17.89\00:03:19.83
don't we?
00:03:19.86\00:03:21.20
But that's not
what Jesus was teaching
00:03:21.23\00:03:22.76
when He was talking
about the Good Samaritan,
00:03:22.80\00:03:24.83
was He?
00:03:24.87\00:03:26.40
He taught that our neighbor
is anyone who needs our help.
00:03:26.43\00:03:31.34
And He said that we should
love our neighbor as ourselves.
00:03:31.37\00:03:38.31
"Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:03:38.35\00:03:40.98
and love your
neighbor as yourself."
00:03:41.02\00:03:43.05
Luke 10:27.
00:03:43.08\00:03:46.62
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:03:46.65\00:03:51.89
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:03:51.93\00:03:57.43
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:03:57.47\00:04:02.70
And love your
neighbor as yourself
00:04:02.74\00:04:08.34
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:04:08.38\00:04:13.82
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:04:13.85\00:04:19.19
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:04:19.22\00:04:24.53
And love your
neighbor as yourself
00:04:24.56\00:04:30.17
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:04:30.20\00:04:35.70
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:04:35.74\00:04:41.04
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart
00:04:41.08\00:04:46.35
And love your
neighbor as yourself
00:04:46.38\00:04:50.85
One day, when Jesus was visiting
00:04:58.06\00:04:59.73
in the home of
Martha, and Mary, and Lazarus,
00:04:59.76\00:05:03.03
Martha was busy
00:05:03.06\00:05:04.40
with all the
necessary preparations
00:05:04.43\00:05:06.60
while Mary sat and
listened to Jesus talk.
00:05:06.63\00:05:10.37
When Martha complained to Jesus
00:05:10.41\00:05:12.17
because Mary wasn't helping her,
00:05:12.21\00:05:14.88
Jesus told her that
00:05:14.91\00:05:16.24
Mary had chosen
what was most important.
00:05:16.28\00:05:19.61
It's easy for us to get
so busy with other things
00:05:19.65\00:05:22.75
that we don't
spend time with Jesus.
00:05:22.78\00:05:25.65
We need to remember
00:05:25.69\00:05:27.02
that the time we spend
with Jesus is very important
00:05:27.06\00:05:30.29
because the
things we learn about Him
00:05:30.33\00:05:32.76
and our friendship with Him
00:05:32.79\00:05:35.26
can never be taken away from us.
00:05:35.30\00:05:39.73
"Only one thing is needed.
00:05:39.77\00:05:41.54
Mary has chosen what is better,
00:05:41.57\00:05:43.61
and it will not be
taken away from her."
00:05:43.64\00:05:45.91
Luke 10:42.
00:05:45.94\00:05:49.88
Only one thing is needed
00:05:49.91\00:05:54.12
Mary has chosen what is better
00:05:54.15\00:05:58.02
And it will not
00:05:58.05\00:06:00.56
It will not be
taken away from her
00:06:00.59\00:06:07.00
Only one thing is needed
00:06:07.03\00:06:11.30
Mary has chosen what is better
00:06:11.33\00:06:15.17
And it will not
00:06:15.20\00:06:17.74
It will not be
taken away from her
00:06:17.77\00:06:24.15
Only one thing is needed
00:06:24.18\00:06:28.45
Mary has chosen what is better
00:06:28.48\00:06:32.35
And it will not
00:06:32.39\00:06:34.79
It will not be
taken away from her
00:06:34.82\00:06:40.43
Have you ever
had a birthday party
00:06:47.14\00:06:49.10
and no one came?
00:06:49.14\00:06:51.47
Jesus told a story about a
man who was having a party.
00:06:51.51\00:06:55.28
When he sent his servants out
to get those who he'd invited,
00:06:55.31\00:06:58.91
they all had excuses
why they couldn't come.
00:06:58.95\00:07:02.88
The man then sent his
servants out into the streets
00:07:02.92\00:07:06.35
to invite whoever
would come to the party.
00:07:06.39\00:07:09.62
Jesus has invited us to
live with Him in heaven,
00:07:09.66\00:07:13.36
but He won't force us to.
00:07:13.40\00:07:16.23
Jesus wants us to go out
into the streets where we live
00:07:16.26\00:07:19.93
and tell others about Him
00:07:19.97\00:07:22.04
so that we all may
live with Him forever.
00:07:22.07\00:07:26.47
"Go out to the
roads and country lanes
00:07:26.51\00:07:29.28
and make them come in so
that My house will be full."
00:07:29.31\00:07:32.88
Luke 14:23.
00:07:32.91\00:07:37.19
Go out to the
roads and country lanes
00:07:37.22\00:07:40.79
Go out to the
roads and country lanes
00:07:40.82\00:07:44.39
And make them come in,
00:07:44.43\00:07:46.49

Go out to the
roads and country lanes
00:08:06.11\00:08:09.68
Go out to the
roads and country lanes
00:08:09.72\00:08:13.32
And make them come in,
00:08:13.36\00:08:15.42
make them come in So
that My house will be full
00:08:15.46\00:08:20.50
Go out to the

00:08:20.53\00:08:24.17
Go out to the
roads and country lanes
00:08:24.20\00:08:27.74
And make them come in,
00:08:27.77\00:08:29.80
make them come in So
that My house will be full
00:08:29.84\00:08:35.08
Go out to the
roads and country lanes
00:08:35.11\00:08:38.61
Go out to the
roads and country lanes
00:08:38.65\00:08:42.22
And make them come in,

If you've ever lost a
pet or a favorite toy,
00:09:09.61\00:09:12.91
you should be able to understand
00:09:12.95\00:09:14.55
what this next
verse is talking about.
00:09:14.58\00:09:17.25
When you lose
something really special,
00:09:17.29\00:09:20.19
you look
everywhere you can think of.
00:09:20.22\00:09:23.26
If you lose a pet,
00:09:23.29\00:09:24.69
you may drive
around the neighborhood
00:09:24.73\00:09:26.53
calling the pet's name
00:09:26.56\00:09:28.23
or put up posters
with the pet's picture
00:09:28.26\00:09:31.03
and your phone number
00:09:31.07\00:09:32.40
so that if anyone
sees it, they can call you.
00:09:32.43\00:09:36.91
If you don't find it right away,
00:09:36.94\00:09:39.01
you may look for days or weeks.
00:09:39.04\00:09:42.48
But when you find your
pet, it makes you so happy.
00:09:42.51\00:09:47.78
If you've ever found
something special that was lost,
00:09:47.82\00:09:50.89
you know how God
and the angels feel.
00:09:50.92\00:09:53.49
When we say we're sorry
for something we've done wrong,
00:09:53.52\00:09:56.93
they get excited
and they rejoice.
00:09:56.96\00:10:00.26
Listen.
00:10:00.30\00:10:01.63
"There is rejoicing
00:10:01.66\00:10:03.00
in the presence
of the angels of God
00:10:03.03\00:10:04.77
over one sinner who repents."
00:10:04.80\00:10:06.87
Luke 15:10.
00:10:06.90\00:10:09.84
There is rejoicing
00:10:09.87\00:10:12.21
There is rejoicing
00:10:12.24\00:10:14.08
In the presence
of the angels of God
00:10:14.11\00:10:19.45
Over one sinner who repents
00:10:19.48\00:10:24.25
There is rejoicing
00:10:24.29\00:10:29.09
There is rejoicing
00:10:29.12\00:10:31.39
There is rejoicing
00:10:31.43\00:10:33.29
In the presence
of the angels of God
00:10:33.33\00:10:38.70
Over one sinner who repents
00:10:38.73\00:10:43.47
There is rejoicing
00:10:43.51\00:10:48.28
There is rejoicing
00:10:48.31\00:10:50.61
There is rejoicing
00:10:50.65\00:10:52.31
In the presence
of the angels of God

There is rejoicing
00:11:02.66\00:11:07.36
There is rejoicing
00:11:07.40\00:11:12.23
There is rejoicing
00:11:12.27\00:11:16.27
Have you ever told a
friend or your brother or sister
00:11:21.71\00:11:24.48
that you were
sorry for being unkind
00:11:24.51\00:11:26.72
but they weren't
willing to forgive you?
00:11:26.75\00:11:28.95
Maybe they didn't
talk to you for a while
00:11:28.98\00:11:31.05
or they said
unkind things about you
00:11:31.09\00:11:32.92
to your other friends.
00:11:32.95\00:11:34.89
You don't have
to worry about that
00:11:34.92\00:11:36.49
when you confess
your sins to God.
00:11:36.52\00:11:38.79
He is anxious
to forgive our sins
00:11:38.83\00:11:41.06
and to give His
power to overcome them.
00:11:41.10\00:11:43.90
He's only waiting for
us to confess our sins
00:11:43.93\00:11:47.10
and to ask for
His help to change.
00:11:47.14\00:11:51.11
"If we confess our
sins, He is faithful and just,
00:11:51.14\00:11:54.91
and will forgive our sins
00:11:54.94\00:11:56.61
and cleanse us from
all unrighteousness."
00:11:56.64\00:11:59.41
1 John 1:9.
00:11:59.45\00:12:04.05
If we confess our sins
He is faithful and just
00:12:04.09\00:12:10.93
And will forgive
our sins and cleanse us
00:12:10.96\00:12:16.33
And cleanse us
from all unrighteousness
00:12:16.36\00:12:22.10
If we confess our sins
He is faithful and just
00:12:22.14\00:12:28.98
And will forgive
our sins and cleanse us
00:12:29.01\00:12:34.52
And cleanse us
from all unrighteousness
00:12:34.55\00:12:40.09
If we confess our sins
He is faithful and just
00:12:40.12\00:12:47.13
And will forgive
our sins and cleanse us
00:12:47.16\00:12:52.60
And cleanse us
from all unrighteousness
00:12:52.63\00:12:58.17
If we confess our sins
He is faithful and just
00:12:58.21\00:13:05.18
And will forgive
our sins and cleanse us
00:13:05.21\00:13:10.59
And cleanse us
from all unrighteousness
00:13:10.62\00:13:16.22
If you were blind
00:13:22.36\00:13:23.70
and someone was
able to make you see,
00:13:23.73\00:13:25.83
do you think that
you would be thankful?
00:13:25.87\00:13:27.94
I'm sure that you would be
00:13:27.97\00:13:29.74
and I'm sure that
you would be anxious
00:13:29.77\00:13:31.47
to tell everyone you met
00:13:31.51\00:13:33.14
that someone
had healed your eyes
00:13:33.17\00:13:34.84
and that you could see.
00:13:34.88\00:13:36.51
Jesus does many things
00:13:36.54\00:13:38.38
that may not seem as exciting
as making the blind to see,
00:13:38.41\00:13:42.08
but we need to be
sure that we thank Him
00:13:42.12\00:13:44.85
and that we tell others
of how good He's been to us.
00:13:44.89\00:13:49.06
"Let them give
thanks to the Lord
00:13:49.09\00:13:51.73
for His unfailing love
00:13:51.76\00:13:53.86
and His
wonderful deeds for men."
00:13:53.90\00:13:56.50
Psalm 107:8.
00:13:56.53\00:13:58.43
Let them give thanks to the Lord
00:14:01.44\00:14:04.74
For His unfailing love
00:14:04.77\00:14:08.64
And His wonderful deeds for men
00:14:08.68\00:14:15.85
Let them give thanks to the Lord
00:14:15.88\00:14:19.12
For His unfailing love
00:14:19.15\00:14:23.09
And His wonderful deeds for men
00:14:23.12\00:14:30.33
Let them give thanks to the Lord
00:14:30.37\00:14:33.64
For His unfailing love
00:14:33.67\00:14:37.54
And His wonderful deeds for men
00:14:37.57\00:14:44.38
Do you remember the
story of Jesus' friend Lazarus?
00:14:51.29\00:14:55.06
He became very sick and died.
00:14:55.09\00:14:58.09
His family and
friends were very sad,
00:14:58.13\00:15:00.60
but Jesus had a
special surprise for them.
00:15:00.63\00:15:04.07
He went to the tomb
where Lazarus was there,
00:15:04.10\00:15:06.77
and after having
the stone rolled away
00:15:06.80\00:15:08.97
from the entrance to the tomb,
00:15:09.00\00:15:11.01
He said, "Lazarus,
come out," and Lazarus did.
00:15:11.04\00:15:15.58
You may have a close friend
or family member who has died.
00:15:15.61\00:15:19.45
You were probably
very sad when they died.
00:15:19.48\00:15:22.48
But Jesus is coming
soon to take us to heaven.
00:15:22.52\00:15:25.19
And when He does,
00:15:25.22\00:15:26.55
He will call those who are dead,
00:15:26.59\00:15:28.36
and they will be raised to life
00:15:28.39\00:15:30.66
and come forth from their graves
00:15:30.69\00:15:32.23
just like Lazarus did,
00:15:32.26\00:15:34.13
except they
will have new bodies.
00:15:34.16\00:15:36.56
That will be a very happy time.
00:15:36.60\00:15:40.60
"All who are in the grave shall
hear His voice and come out."
00:15:40.64\00:15:44.37
John 5:28-29.
00:15:44.41\00:15:48.91
All who are in the grave
00:15:48.94\00:15:53.45
Shall hear His
voice Shall hear His voice
00:15:53.48\00:15:58.52
All who are in the grave
00:15:58.55\00:16:03.09
Shall hear His
voice and come out
00:16:03.12\00:16:08.06
All who are in the grave
00:16:08.10\00:16:12.60
Shall hear His
voice Shall hear His voice
00:16:12.63\00:16:17.71
All who are in the grave
00:16:17.74\00:16:22.21
Shall hear His
voice and come out
00:16:22.24\00:16:27.25
All who are in the grave
00:16:27.28\00:16:31.79
Shall hear His
voice Shall hear His voice
00:16:31.82\00:16:36.99
All who are in the grave
00:16:37.03\00:16:41.50
Shall hear His
voice and come out
00:16:41.53\00:16:45.97
Have you ever started
to tell someone something
00:16:51.84\00:16:54.41
and they told you to go
away because they were busy?
00:16:54.44\00:16:57.61
That's what the disciples
told some mothers one day
00:16:57.65\00:17:00.05
when they brought
their children to Jesus.
00:17:00.08\00:17:02.38
The disciples thought
00:17:02.42\00:17:03.75
Jesus had more
important things to do.
00:17:03.79\00:17:06.42
But when Jesus saw
what was happening,
00:17:06.45\00:17:08.72
He told the disciples
00:17:08.76\00:17:10.09
to let the little
children come to Him.
00:17:10.13\00:17:12.76
We should never turn away anyone
00:17:12.79\00:17:14.46
who wants to
learn about Jesus either
00:17:14.50\00:17:16.97
because everyone
is important to Him.
00:17:17.00\00:17:21.04
"Jesus said,
00:17:21.07\00:17:22.40
'Let the little
children come to me,
00:17:22.44\00:17:24.77
and do not hinder them,
00:17:24.81\00:17:26.47
for the kingdom of heaven
belongs to such as these.'"
00:17:26.51\00:17:30.15
Matthew 19:14.
00:17:30.18\00:17:34.52
Jesus said
00:17:34.55\00:17:37.59
Let the little
children come to Me
00:17:37.62\00:17:43.12
And do not hinder them
00:17:43.16\00:17:49.60
For the kingdom of heaven
00:17:49.63\00:17:55.20
Belongs to such as these
00:17:55.24\00:18:01.61
Let the little
children come to me
00:18:01.64\00:18:07.18
And do not hinder them
00:18:07.22\00:18:13.66
For the kingdom of heaven
00:18:13.69\00:18:19.26
Belongs to such as these
00:18:19.29\00:18:25.60
Let the little
children come to me
00:18:25.63\00:18:31.21
And do not hinder them
00:18:31.24\00:18:37.75
For the kingdom of heaven
00:18:37.78\00:18:43.28
Belongs to such as these
00:18:43.32\00:18:48.79
One day, a very
rich man asked Jesus
00:18:55.06\00:18:57.77
what he needed
to do to be saved.
00:18:57.80\00:19:00.04
Jesus told him to
keep the Commandments.
00:19:00.07\00:19:02.54
When the rich man said
00:19:02.57\00:19:03.91
that he had done that
ever since he was a child,
00:19:03.94\00:19:06.17
Jesus told him to
sell all that he had
00:19:06.21\00:19:08.64
and give his money to
the poor and follow Him.
00:19:08.68\00:19:11.78
The Bible says that
the man went away sad
00:19:11.81\00:19:14.35
because he had great riches.
00:19:14.38\00:19:17.25
Jesus doesn't expect everyone
to sell their homes and cars
00:19:17.29\00:19:20.86
and furniture so
they can help the poor.
00:19:20.89\00:19:23.63
What He was
trying to teach this man
00:19:23.66\00:19:25.63
was that if he wanted to
be ready to enjoy heaven,
00:19:25.66\00:19:28.73
he needed to
learn to be unselfish.
00:19:28.76\00:19:31.53
Doing what Jesus asks us to do
00:19:31.57\00:19:33.97
is more important
than anything else.
00:19:34.00\00:19:37.37
"Give to the poor,
00:19:37.41\00:19:38.74
and you will have
treasure in heaven.
00:19:38.77\00:19:41.44
Then come and follow Me."
00:19:41.48\00:19:43.28
Matthew 19:21.
00:19:43.31\00:19:47.95
Give to the
poor Give to the poor
00:19:47.98\00:19:51.52
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:19:51.55\00:19:55.76
Give to the poor
00:19:55.79\00:19:57.43
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:19:57.46\00:20:00.30
Then come and follow me
00:20:00.33\00:20:03.63
Give to the
poor Give to the poor
00:20:03.67\00:20:07.20
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:20:07.24\00:20:11.54
Give to the poor
00:20:11.57\00:20:13.21
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:20:13.24\00:20:15.98
Then come and follow me
00:20:16.01\00:20:19.38
Give to the
poor Give to the poor
00:20:19.41\00:20:22.95
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:20:22.98\00:20:27.29
Give to the poor
00:20:27.32\00:20:28.86
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:20:28.89\00:20:31.79
Then come and follow me
00:20:31.83\00:20:35.10
Give to the
poor Give to the poor
00:20:35.13\00:20:38.63
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:20:38.67\00:20:42.90
Give to the poor
00:20:42.94\00:20:44.61
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:20:44.64\00:20:47.51
Then come and follow me
00:20:47.54\00:20:50.85
Give to the
poor Give to the poor
00:20:50.88\00:20:54.32
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:20:54.35\00:20:58.65
Give to the poor
00:20:58.69\00:21:00.26
And you will have
treasure in heaven
00:21:00.29\00:21:03.12
Then come and follow me
00:21:03.16\00:21:06.86
Do you know anyone who cheats?
00:21:10.93\00:21:13.27
Maybe some of your friends
have cheated on test at school
00:21:13.30\00:21:16.20
or cheat when they play games.
00:21:16.24\00:21:18.17
Did you know that
Jesus loves cheaters?
00:21:18.21\00:21:21.08
He hates cheating,
00:21:21.11\00:21:22.51
but He loves people
even when they have cheated.
00:21:22.54\00:21:25.75
The story of Zacharias
shows us that this is true.
00:21:25.78\00:21:29.15
If we were all perfect,
00:21:29.18\00:21:30.92
Jesus would not have
needed to die on the cross.
00:21:30.95\00:21:33.66
The reason Jesus
died was to save sinners.
00:21:33.69\00:21:37.36
And when we
realize that Jesus loves us
00:21:37.39\00:21:39.63
no matter what we've done,
00:21:39.66\00:21:41.50
it makes us want to obey Him.
00:21:41.53\00:21:44.07
If we want to be like Jesus,
00:21:44.10\00:21:46.00
we need to love people
00:21:46.03\00:21:47.54
even when they have
done things that are wrong.
00:21:47.57\00:21:50.21
And when they see
00:21:50.24\00:21:51.57
that we have
Jesus' love in our hearts,
00:21:51.61\00:21:54.54
maybe they will
want to obey Him too.
00:21:54.58\00:21:57.65
"The Son of Man
00:21:57.68\00:21:59.01
has come to seek and
to save what is lost."
00:21:59.05\00:22:01.78
Luke 19:10.
00:22:01.82\00:22:03.15
The Son of Man has come to seek
00:22:06.39\00:22:10.79
Has come to seek and to save
00:22:10.83\00:22:15.93
The Son of Man has come to seek
00:22:15.96\00:22:20.24
And to save what is lost
00:22:20.27\00:22:25.61
The Son of Man has come to seek
00:22:25.64\00:22:30.01
Has come to seek and to save
00:22:30.05\00:22:35.22
The Son of Man has come to seek
00:22:35.25\00:22:39.39
And to save what is lost
00:22:39.42\00:22:44.73
The Son of Man has come to seek
00:22:44.76\00:22:49.43
Has come to seek and to save
00:22:49.46\00:22:54.50
The Son of Man has come to seek
00:22:54.54\00:22:58.67
And to save what is lost
00:22:58.71\00:23:04.11
The Son of Man has come to seek
00:23:04.15\00:23:08.58
Has come to seek and to save
00:23:08.62\00:23:13.76
The Son of Man has come to seek
00:23:13.79\00:23:17.86
And to save what is lost
00:23:17.89\00:23:23.37
Do you like to receive gifts?
00:23:29.87\00:23:32.14
I don't think I've ever
known anyone who didn't.
00:23:32.17\00:23:35.34
Sometimes, people give us gifts
00:23:35.38\00:23:37.15
to show us that they appreciate
something we've done for them.
00:23:37.18\00:23:40.45
But most of the time,
00:23:40.48\00:23:42.05
we receive gifts without
doing anything to earn them.
00:23:42.08\00:23:45.95
When your parents give
you a birthday present,
00:23:45.99\00:23:48.49
they don't give it to
you because you deserve it
00:23:48.52\00:23:50.99
but because they love you.
00:23:51.03\00:23:52.66
And this is one way to show you
00:23:52.69\00:23:54.20
they're glad you're their child.
00:23:54.23\00:23:56.56
That's what grace is like.
00:23:56.60\00:23:58.90
The Bible says
we're saved by grace.
00:23:58.93\00:24:01.94
We can't do anything to
earn eternal life in heaven.
00:24:01.97\00:24:06.01
God will give the
gift of eternal life
00:24:06.04\00:24:08.28
to those who accept it.
00:24:08.31\00:24:10.01
Not because of
anything they've done
00:24:10.05\00:24:12.38
but because of
their love for Jesus
00:24:12.41\00:24:14.48
who died to save them.
00:24:14.52\00:24:16.32
That's grace.
00:24:16.35\00:24:18.69
"It is by grace
you have been saved,
00:24:18.72\00:24:21.56
through faith, and
this not from yourselves,
00:24:21.59\00:24:25.39
it is the gift of
God, not by works,
00:24:25.43\00:24:28.56
so that no one can boast."
00:24:28.60\00:24:30.67
Ephesians 2:8-9.
00:24:30.70\00:24:34.30
It is by grace
you have been saved
00:24:34.34\00:24:38.31
Through faith and
this not from yourselves
00:24:38.34\00:24:43.58
It is the gift
of God, not by works
00:24:43.61\00:24:47.55
So that no one can boast
00:24:47.58\00:24:52.79
It is by grace
you have been saved
00:24:52.82\00:24:56.89
Through faith and
this not from yourselves
00:24:56.93\00:25:02.06
It is the gift
of God, not by works
00:25:02.10\00:25:06.10
So that no one can boast
00:25:06.13\00:25:11.31
It is by grace
you have been saved
00:25:11.34\00:25:15.34
Through faith and
this not from yourselves
00:25:15.38\00:25:20.62
It is the gift
of God, not by works
00:25:20.65\00:25:24.59
So that no one can boast
00:25:24.62\00:25:29.79
It is by grace
you have been saved
00:25:29.82\00:25:33.86
Through faith and
this not from yourselves
00:25:33.90\00:25:38.97
It is the gift
of God, not by works
00:25:39.00\00:25:43.07
So that no one can boast
00:25:43.10\00:25:47.54
If someone says
something nice to you
00:25:55.15\00:25:57.59
or if they do
something nice for you,
00:25:57.62\00:25:59.89
it really makes you
like that person, doesn't it?
00:25:59.92\00:26:02.62
That's what this
next verse talks about.
00:26:02.66\00:26:05.86
Jesus loved us so much,
even though we are sinners,
00:26:05.89\00:26:09.83
that He was
willing to die for us
00:26:09.86\00:26:12.07
so that we might
have eternal life,
00:26:12.10\00:26:14.47
and because He loves us so much,
00:26:14.50\00:26:17.04
we can love others even
though they might not like us.
00:26:17.07\00:26:21.98
That's what God's
love is all about,
00:26:22.01\00:26:24.41
and that's what makes
God's love so special.
00:26:24.45\00:26:27.42
"We love because
He first loved us."
00:26:27.45\00:26:30.49
1 John 4:19.
00:26:30.52\00:26:32.29
We love because
He first loved us
00:26:35.32\00:26:40.63
Because He first loved us
00:26:40.66\00:26:44.17
