Heaven is a city,
built by jewels rare
00:00:57.51\00:01:05.00
Its beauty is a
splendor yet untold
00:01:05.65\00:01:13.85
If you neglect
salvation you'll never enter in
00:01:14.29\00:01:22.27
You'll never ever
walk those streets of gold
00:01:22.82\00:01:30.16
So don't overlook
salvation, while living
00:01:30.87\00:01:37.26
here in sin Someday
it maybe too late to pray
00:01:37.29\00:01:48.20
Someday when you need Him,
00:01:49.38\00:01:52.84
He may not let you in
00:01:53.18\00:01:56.82
How awful if He
should turn you away
00:01:57.47\00:02:05.30
How many of you ever being
00:02:05.66\00:02:06.63
discouraged in your life. Amen.
00:02:06.64\00:02:08.58
I know I have. Amen.
00:02:08.70\00:02:11.01
Sometimes we get discouraged,
00:02:14.84\00:02:19.04
while we walk this weary way
00:02:19.07\00:02:22.97
But Jesus said
he'd every burden bear
00:02:23.39\00:02:31.23
So take Him all your troubles,
00:02:31.99\00:02:36.02
when it seems all hope is gone
00:02:36.24\00:02:40.34
Just trust Him when
you go to Him in prayer
00:02:40.66\00:02:47.86
So don't overlook salvation,
00:02:48.70\00:02:53.43
while living here in sin
00:02:53.68\00:02:57.33
Someday it
maybe too late to pray
00:02:58.50\00:03:06.42
Someday when you need Him,
00:03:07.15\00:03:10.49
He may not let you in
00:03:10.99\00:03:14.75
How awful if He
should turn you away
00:03:15.26\00:03:23.27
Now Jesus said be
ready for you know
00:03:24.00\00:03:29.15
not when the hour
For He may come at
00:03:29.18\00:03:35.38
morning, night or
noon So keep your eyes upon
00:03:35.58\00:03:44.17
Him and your soul
filled with His power
00:03:44.20\00:03:49.73
For you know He's
surely coming soon,
00:03:50.41\00:03:55.34
do you believe he's
coming soon tonight?
00:03:55.37\00:03:56.94
So don't overlook salvation,
00:03:57.94\00:04:02.63
while living here in
sin Someday it maybe too
00:04:02.82\00:04:10.57
late to pray
Someday when you need Him,
00:04:10.60\00:04:19.72
He may not let you in
How awful if He should
00:04:20.19\00:04:27.63
turn you away,
how awful if He should
00:04:27.66\00:04:36.33
turn you away.
Oh! Yes. Amen. Amen
00:04:36.36\00:04:48.55
Thank you for that.
Darrell Marshall one of
00:04:50.77\00:04:53.17
the, our very
favorites on 3ABN and we love
00:04:53.20\00:04:57.62
Darrell, we always
enjoy having him here for
00:04:57.66\00:04:59.68
camp meetings and as
he travels across the
00:04:59.85\00:05:02.45
country, people tell
him everywhere he goes.
00:05:02.48\00:05:04.63
We watch you on
3ABN. So, welcome each one
00:05:05.10\00:05:08.21
of you back here to
our Camp Meeting and our
00:05:08.24\00:05:10.92
pillars weekend, where
we're talking about the
00:05:11.03\00:05:13.91
pillars of the faith
and we believe with all of
00:05:14.16\00:05:19.04
our hearts that this
is the sort of a spring
00:05:19.07\00:05:22.53
board for revival throughout the
00:05:22.70\00:05:25.09
United States and
all over the world that
00:05:25.34\00:05:27.35
people are going to
begin upholding the Bible
00:05:27.64\00:05:30.84
trues again stronger
than ever before. That they
00:05:30.99\00:05:34.10
are going to determine
to preach Christ and him
00:05:34.13\00:05:37.02
crucified to a dying
world and to uphold his
00:05:37.22\00:05:41.11
trues. You know,
there is nothing wrong with
00:05:41.14\00:05:44.68
being right remember
that. So, tonight we are
00:05:44.71\00:05:48.78
going to be
enjoying a message but also
00:05:48.89\00:05:52.95
receiving a message
from the Lord brought to us
00:05:53.58\00:05:57.44
through his servants
C.A. Murray. I know Pastor
00:05:57.47\00:06:00.93
Murray very well, I
had met him before we
00:06:01.04\00:06:04.14
came here but we've
become very good friends
00:06:04.34\00:06:07.36
during the time that
I've been here at 3ABN.
00:06:07.53\00:06:10.68
First time we met was
in New York City and it
00:06:11.35\00:06:14.77
was right after 9/11,
we are both involved in
00:06:14.80\00:06:18.24
reaching out to that
city and bringing some love
00:06:18.27\00:06:21.77
and some peace and
some help to the people
00:06:22.33\00:06:25.54
that lived in
Manhattan. And those were
00:06:25.57\00:06:29.35
unbelievable days
folks, I those of you that may
00:06:29.38\00:06:32.38
have been in that part
of the world at that time.
00:06:32.41\00:06:35.00
I met some people
here from New Jersey today,
00:06:35.10\00:06:37.57
right across the river
they know exactly what I
00:06:37.60\00:06:40.61
was talking about
and those that were there
00:06:40.70\00:06:44.65
especially felt the
impact of those days.
00:06:45.19\00:06:49.03
Elder Murray is a
man that knows people,
00:06:49.46\00:06:53.12
he is man that has
ministered to all walks
00:06:53.79\00:06:56.81
of life. He is a man
that's been in just about
00:06:56.84\00:07:00.60
every pastoral
situation that a man can find
00:07:00.69\00:07:04.27
himself in. Before we
hear his message we have
00:07:04.40\00:07:09.29
David Huntsinger is
going to introduce one of
00:07:09.61\00:07:12.80
those pillars songs,
one of my very favorites,
00:07:12.92\00:07:16.15
I'm gonna let him tell
you about it, the song is
00:07:16.63\00:07:19.48
called in the
sanctuary and it's a blessed
00:07:19.53\00:07:22.27
Adventist doctrine
because it, it talks about
00:07:22.32\00:07:25.72
Christ's work in
heaven for us now.
00:07:26.23\00:07:28.90
He seals our bond with
him, he hears the prayers
00:07:29.81\00:07:34.79
of saint and sinners, "there
00:07:34.94\00:07:37.15
is still time in the sanctuary."
00:07:37.18\00:07:39.96
We have a high
priest up in heaven
00:07:53.86\00:07:59.96
Hallelujah, hallelujah
00:08:00.75\00:08:06.86
He's our
Defender before the Father
00:08:07.44\00:08:13.68
In a temple made by God, not man
00:08:14.85\00:08:20.38
Behind the veil
in a place Most Holy
00:08:21.22\00:08:27.71
Hallelujah, oh hallelujah
00:08:28.32\00:08:34.49
Investigating,
He dears the record
00:08:34.94\00:08:41.62
Of those
redeemed by His own blood
00:08:42.40\00:08:47.76
He's blotting out
my sin in the Sanctuary
00:08:48.49\00:08:59.91
He seals my bond with Him in
00:09:02.11\00:09:08.84
the Sanctuary up in heaven
00:09:08.87\00:09:16.08
He makes provision
for me in the Sanctuary
00:09:17.49\00:09:27.69
Heaven's temple
Hallelujah, oh hallelujah
00:09:33.38\00:09:42.32
In preparation for His returning
00:09:43.45\00:09:50.49
For those who
love and follow him
00:09:50.92\00:09:55.63
He's blotting out
my sin in the Sanctuary
00:09:56.93\00:10:08.36
He seals my bond with Him in
00:10:10.63\00:10:17.47
the Sanctuary up in heaven
00:10:17.50\00:10:24.75
He makes provision
for me in the Sanctuary
00:10:25.98\00:10:34.25
At the mercy seat,
in the Holy of Holies
00:10:34.97\00:10:44.88
In the Holy of Holies we meet
00:10:45.41\00:10:57.56
He's blotting out
my sin in the Sanctuary
00:10:58.72\00:11:10.57
He seals my bond with Him in
00:11:12.35\00:11:19.11
the Sanctuary up in heaven
00:11:19.14\00:11:27.18
He makes provision
for me in the Sanctuary
00:11:27.78\00:11:37.29
In the
Sanctuary, in the Sanctuary
00:11:39.30\00:11:50.88
He's blotting out
my sin in the Sanctuary
00:11:56.91\00:12:08.57
He seals my bond with Him in
00:12:10.61\00:12:17.29
the Sanctuary up in heaven
00:12:17.32\00:12:24.78
He makes provision
for me in the Sanctuary
00:12:26.01\00:12:35.55
In the
Sanctuary, in the Sanctuary
00:12:37.64\00:12:49.15
In the Sanctuary Amen.
00:12:53.51\00:13:07.67
Shall we pray?
Gracious Father, as we turn our
00:13:14.89\00:13:18.93
hearts towards you and
look at this interloper
00:13:19.04\00:13:24.30
that has come into
our lives called sin.
00:13:24.35\00:13:26.90
We ask that we
would see sin for what it
00:13:27.92\00:13:30.06
really is. And that
what no one understand that
00:13:30.38\00:13:34.40
we're inequity
abounds, love and grace abounds
00:13:34.43\00:13:38.29
so much more. So, we
praise you now and ask
00:13:38.47\00:13:41.76
for you power, your presence and
00:13:41.96\00:13:43.02
your spirit in Jesus name. Amen.
00:13:43.16\00:13:45.75
Any attempt to analyze,
to dissect, to digest or
00:13:48.83\00:13:55.10
to understand sin
must begin with what I call
00:13:55.13\00:14:01.74
head scratching incredulity.
00:14:02.36\00:14:04.72
You've got to start
your discussion of sin with a
00:14:06.96\00:14:10.26
settled platform that
what you are seeking to
00:14:10.37\00:14:13.18
examine can indeed
be analyzed, can be
00:14:13.43\00:14:18.34
discussed, can be
mused over, and in a real
00:14:18.45\00:14:24.28
sense understood
experientially and of
00:14:24.47\00:14:28.78
course consequentially,
but it can never ever
00:14:28.92\00:14:34.85
be fully
explained. To explain sin,
00:14:35.37\00:14:40.85
says Ellen White,
would be to excuse it.
00:14:41.32\00:14:44.13
Sin cannot be
explained, certainly not from a
00:14:45.65\00:14:51.73
theological
standpoint, or a causative
00:14:52.02\00:14:55.28
standpoint. It cannot
be explained, how do you
00:14:59.67\00:15:00.64
draw logic from
that which is essentially
00:15:00.65\00:15:03.67
illogical? That's
right. How do you sign an
00:15:04.10\00:15:07.60
assigned reason
to that which is so
00:15:07.64\00:15:11.04
unreasonable? How
does one make sense from
00:15:11.78\00:15:16.59
that which is intrinsically
00:15:16.62\00:15:18.99
non-sensible, non
sequitur, unfathomable,
00:15:19.67\00:15:26.29
indefensible and
inherently insane?
00:15:27.24\00:15:31.76
Sin is the ultimate
expression of a spiritual
00:15:33.33\00:15:39.01
Schizophrenia and
Wikipedia described
00:15:39.79\00:15:43.25
Schizophrenia, I
like this definition,
00:15:43.30\00:15:45.23
as a mental disorder
involving the breakdown
00:15:46.29\00:15:50.24
of the
relationship between thought,
00:15:50.49\00:15:52.82
emotions and
behavior. Leading to faulty
00:15:53.28\00:15:57.18
perceptions,
inappropriate actions
00:15:57.36\00:16:00.24
and feelings and a
withdrawal from reality
00:16:00.56\00:16:03.81
into fantasy and delusion.
00:16:04.10\00:16:06.41
And if ever any
two words capture the
00:16:07.66\00:16:09.72
essence of sin it is
fantasy and delusion.
00:16:10.36\00:16:14.09
Sin is a type of
spiritual mass psychosis,
00:16:16.60\00:16:21.39
that began in the
exalted yet somehow defective
00:16:22.45\00:16:27.43
mind of one
individual and is so violent,
00:16:27.57\00:16:31.80
so virulent, so
highly contagious,
00:16:32.79\00:16:36.10
so irresistibly
communicable that only
00:16:36.74\00:16:40.22
one person in the 7000
years of recorded history
00:16:40.39\00:16:43.72
of this planet
has ever been able to
00:16:43.93\00:16:46.77
escape it uninfected.
00:16:46.91\00:16:49.61
There are some 6.5
billion people on planet
00:16:52.63\00:16:57.99
earth as we speak and
all of us are carriers.
00:16:58.10\00:17:03.49
Sin is a species
wide malignancy that
00:17:05.42\00:17:08.59
Revelation chapter 12
verse 9 indicates God has
00:17:08.69\00:17:12.63
quarantined to this
planet. The extent of
00:17:12.91\00:17:16.61
which is documented
in the medical report
00:17:16.73\00:17:18.99
written by the Apostle
Paul of the diagnosis of
00:17:19.93\00:17:23.36
the pathology and its
spread to spread to it,
00:17:23.39\00:17:26.20
all have sinned and come short
00:17:27.05\00:17:30.03
of the glory of God.
00:17:30.65\00:17:31.71
Including such
notables as Enoch, Moses and
00:17:33.25\00:17:37.24
Elijah, who are
residing in heaven even as we
00:17:37.42\00:17:41.26
speak. Amen. So,
since we are handling
00:17:41.98\00:17:45.51
something so
contagious. So, irresistibly
00:17:45.74\00:17:49.50
communicable, the
only way to deal with sin
00:17:49.68\00:17:53.26
forensically and not
descend into a depression
00:17:53.44\00:17:57.49
is to handle it postmortem,
00:17:57.94\00:18:00.26
in other words
let's start with the
00:18:00.61\00:18:02.21
corpse and work our way back.
00:18:02.47\00:18:04.54
Nahum chapter 1 verse
9 says affliction shall
00:18:06.45\00:18:11.57
not rise a second
time. Amen. For which we are
00:18:11.74\00:18:15.46
to praise the Lord.
Amen. The Lord in this text
00:18:15.59\00:18:18.59
and many others
indicates and affirms that once
00:18:18.64\00:18:22.85
the universe has
been rid of sin it will be
00:18:23.23\00:18:27.19
inoculated and
effectively vaccinated
00:18:27.75\00:18:31.21
against it ever
coming back again.
00:18:31.61\00:18:33.37
In other words we can
rejoice in the knowledge
00:18:33.71\00:18:35.99
and the fact that
once sin is gone it is gone
00:18:36.02\00:18:39.32
for good and gone forever. Amen.
00:18:39.47\00:18:42.70
For two very
pragmatic reasons, number one if
00:18:43.72\00:18:49.20
anyone has ever
suffered from the effects of sin
00:18:49.24\00:18:52.07
and gotten the victory
over sin and been cured
00:18:53.07\00:18:57.96
of its deadly effects
it's like, it's like being
00:18:58.09\00:19:01.44
diagnosed with cancer
and surviving the cancer
00:19:01.55\00:19:05.04
and the chemotherapy.
You know if you live to
00:19:05.31\00:19:08.48
get through all of
that, you don't ever wanna go
00:19:08.55\00:19:12.02
through that
again. Amen. Amen. And the
00:19:12.23\00:19:15.15
second reason most
importantly, God said so.
00:19:15.38\00:19:19.74
Revelation chapter
21, verse 5, the Lord says
00:19:21.03\00:19:22.76
behold I make all
things new, no room,
00:19:22.92\00:19:26.81
no place, no space
for sin, once sin is gone
00:19:27.03\00:19:30.92
praise God it
will be gone for ever,
00:19:31.24\00:19:33.47
that ought to
make you smile. Amen.
00:19:33.65\00:19:35.48
That ought to make you
sit up and take notice in
00:19:35.63\00:19:37.34
fact turn to your
neighbor, smile and say
00:19:37.43\00:19:39.01
never, never again.
00:19:39.27\00:19:40.40
Once sin has gone we
don't have to worry about
00:19:46.00\00:19:48.97
this fungus among
us ever again. Amen.
00:19:49.05\00:19:52.82
So, how do it
begin, where did it begin,
00:19:55.41\00:20:00.14
in the most unlikely of
places, in the soul of an
00:20:01.94\00:20:06.89
entity, arguably the
most wondrous, the most
00:20:07.04\00:20:11.25
luminescent, the
most exalted of anyone or
00:20:11.44\00:20:14.86
anything that
God had ever created.
00:20:15.00\00:20:17.48
A ministering spirit
whose description in the
00:20:19.00\00:20:24.00
word of the God
uses some of the most
00:20:24.03\00:20:25.96
sublimed language
ever employed to talk about
00:20:26.25\00:20:30.46
somebody made by God.
00:20:30.60\00:20:32.22
I am in Ezekiel
chapter 28, verse 12 in New
00:20:33.77\00:20:35.74
King James
version. And the Bible says
00:20:35.88\00:20:39.27
You were the seal of
perfection, filled with
00:20:39.86\00:20:45.98
wisdom and perfect in beauty.
00:20:46.08\00:20:49.91
The workmanship of
your timbrels and pipes
00:20:51.01\00:20:53.78
was prepared for
you on the day you were
00:20:54.04\00:20:56.50
created. Listen to the
language that is employed
00:20:56.70\00:21:00.55
here, perfect,
flawless, complete, incomparably
00:21:00.58\00:21:08.00
beautiful, designed,
manufactured that way.
00:21:08.11\00:21:13.62
A creation so
magnificent that when the
00:21:15.03\00:21:18.15
omnipotent mind of
God searched for a word or
00:21:18.44\00:21:23.20
a name to give to this
new creature God himself
00:21:23.23\00:21:27.66
chose the word son
of the morning, morning
00:21:28.25\00:21:33.95
star. God gave him the best name
00:21:34.23\00:21:38.94
and the best job
in all the universe.
00:21:39.90\00:21:43.28
Ezekiel chapter 28,
verse 14 describes his
00:21:44.59\00:21:47.79
responsibilities and
gives his job description.
00:21:47.82\00:21:50.82
You were the
anointed cherub who covers,
00:21:52.02\00:21:54.32
the Bible says, you
were on the holy mountain
00:21:54.63\00:21:57.20
of God; you walked
back and forth in the midst
00:21:57.24\00:22:00.58
of the fiery stones.
You were perfect in your
00:22:00.61\00:22:05.25
ways from the day
you were created until,
00:22:05.54\00:22:09.80
the Bible says.
Until, think about it,
00:22:12.02\00:22:16.65
continually constantly
in the very presence of
00:22:17.84\00:22:21.20
God, dwelling in light
unapproachable, called in
00:22:21.38\00:22:26.01
the Hebrew, the day
star. Now all stars shine at
00:22:26.05\00:22:30.35
night, it's not a big
deal but there is only one
00:22:30.38\00:22:33.82
star that shines during
the day and when the day
00:22:33.96\00:22:37.30
star shines all other
stars shines disappear.
00:22:37.50\00:22:40.32
Lucifer was the day
star. He was the son of the
00:22:41.57\00:22:47.74
morning and no
luminous body in our galaxy
00:22:47.77\00:22:52.59
outshines the Sun.
His beauty his wisdom,
00:22:52.86\00:22:57.55
his intelligence
exceeded only by God.
00:22:58.34\00:23:02.95
And next to Christ God
the son the most highly
00:23:04.35\00:23:08.65
exalted creature ever
created, but somehow for
00:23:09.28\00:23:18.13
reasons the human
mind may never understand.
00:23:18.23\00:23:21.71
Even this most
honored position, ladies and
00:23:22.85\00:23:26.76
gentlemen was not
enough, being the son
00:23:26.82\00:23:31.11
wisdom not enough,
being perfect in beauty
00:23:31.47\00:23:36.56
not enough, being
first of the covering cherub
00:23:37.64\00:23:41.69
not enough, being as it
were a four star general
00:23:42.88\00:23:47.19
in the army of God
not enough, being the
00:23:47.23\00:23:52.22
preeminent among all
of the angels and created
00:23:52.31\00:23:54.87
beings not enough,
honored, loved and obeyed
00:23:55.17\00:23:59.23
though not
worshiped, not enough.
00:23:59.35\00:24:01.78
Lucifer had it all
but he wanted more.
00:24:04.36\00:24:09.41
He had everything
but everything was not
00:24:10.86\00:24:15.82
enough. You see
when you have everything,
00:24:15.93\00:24:20.94
when you've got it
all and you're still want
00:24:22.63\00:24:26.96
more, your in
trouble. Where you got it all,
00:24:27.61\00:24:34.08
when you have
everything and you still
00:24:34.19\00:24:36.42
want something
more you are in trouble
00:24:36.68\00:24:38.78
because you've got
everything what more
00:24:38.96\00:24:41.50
could you want.
00:24:41.69\00:24:42.83
Someone defined
jealousy as an inordinate
00:24:47.11\00:24:50.47
desire to possess
what you already have.
00:24:53.17\00:24:54.14
When you have
everything how can you
00:24:56.31\00:24:59.70
want more? And
what do you give someone
00:24:59.90\00:25:04.84
who has everything.
I'll tell you what you
00:25:04.92\00:25:07.91
give them? You
give them nothing.
00:25:08.06\00:25:10.09
Because they're
showing a disrespect for
00:25:12.91\00:25:15.13
everything they
already possess and so,
00:25:15.33\00:25:20.14
into a perfect
ordered society, an idea took
00:25:20.32\00:25:25.82
route, just a
little nascent motivation,
00:25:26.02\00:25:33.20
a little exfoliant insinuation,
00:25:35.15\00:25:38.11
just a little
benign flirtation with
00:25:39.59\00:25:44.66
self-exaltation.
Just a little idea when
00:25:44.85\00:25:53.47
a perfect being looked
at his own magnificence
00:25:53.50\00:25:57.56
and then he looked at
God. And then he looked
00:25:59.41\00:26:02.26
at the son of the
God, as he had done so many
00:26:02.29\00:26:06.28
times before, he saw
the same love, the same
00:26:06.63\00:26:12.93
glory, the same
majesty, the same unity,
00:26:13.22\00:26:15.32
the same worship as
he had seen so many times
00:26:15.70\00:26:17.96
before. It has always
been there, he had been
00:26:18.10\00:26:20.72
in their presences
constantly, he knew what
00:26:20.87\00:26:23.44
looking at God was
like, but this time when he
00:26:23.66\00:26:28.48
looked, when he
looked, he, he dared to
00:26:28.61\00:26:33.19
compare. And in the
secret preaching of his
00:26:33.28\00:26:38.87
inner most heart, the
son of the morning said
00:26:38.90\00:26:42.32
to himself one day in
the very presence of God.
00:26:42.43\00:26:45.69
Why? Oh! better
yet. Why not? Why not me,
00:26:47.79\00:26:58.54
why can't I have what they have?
00:27:02.71\00:27:08.38
Look at me, look at
what I am. Look at what I
00:27:10.79\00:27:17.51
have, Look at what I
can do, I ought to have
00:27:17.54\00:27:19.95
what they have. I
think, I think, I think, I want
00:27:20.27\00:27:31.16
more. Why should they
have such a relationship
00:27:33.05\00:27:42.51
and not me. Why
should they have the power
00:27:44.33\00:27:48.81
and the worship and
not me. Don't they know
00:27:48.90\00:27:53.41
who I am? I am the
son of the morning,
00:27:53.59\00:28:01.21
I am the day star, I
deserve what they have.
00:28:01.46\00:28:05.09
I'm the powering
cherub, I am the first of
00:28:05.85\00:28:08.29
creation and what
I have is not enough,
00:28:08.54\00:28:12.26
been there, done
that, now I want to be God.
00:28:13.44\00:28:17.07
And if they don't
give it to me I'll
00:28:23.68\00:28:27.22
take it. I will take
it. Ezekiel chapter 28,
00:28:27.31\00:28:39.65
verse 15 exposes
the secret thoughts of
00:28:39.78\00:28:43.54
Lucifer's own heart.
Perfect to iniquity was
00:28:43.63\00:28:52.28
found in you. The
story was picked up in Isaiah
00:28:52.46\00:28:58.82
chapter 14, verses 13
and 14 the word of God
00:28:59.00\00:29:02.12
says, I will ascend to
the heaven, I will exalt
00:29:02.24\00:29:07.53
my throne above the
stars of God: I will
00:29:07.66\00:29:09.78
also sit, in the
mount of the congregation.
00:29:09.99\00:29:12.05
I will ascend above
the height of the clouds,
00:29:12.24\00:29:14.48
I will be like the
Most High. I will be God.
00:29:14.96\00:29:21.73
I looked up that word
like in the Hebrew the
00:29:25.81\00:29:29.78
word is 'Damah,' it
means to favorably compare.
00:29:29.91\00:29:33.33
Satan was saying I
wanted so that when they
00:29:35.67\00:29:39.40
think of God they
will think of me. When they
00:29:39.45\00:29:43.02
see God they will see
me, when they talk about
00:29:43.07\00:29:47.15
God they will talk
about me, perfect until
00:29:47.29\00:29:52.89
iniquity was found.
The word for iniquity in
00:29:53.09\00:29:56.83
the Hebrew is 'Avon'
not a great step from evil.
00:29:56.93\00:30:00.79
And it carries the
idea of a moral distortion,
00:30:03.72\00:30:07.74
so the Bible is
saying perfect until a moral
00:30:09.11\00:30:11.91
distortion was found in
him. And I don't know if
00:30:12.13\00:30:16.57
there is more
fitting word for what sin is?
00:30:16.60\00:30:19.13
Or what germinated in
the heart of Satan than
00:30:19.52\00:30:21.57
moral distortion?
Something in Lucifer's
00:30:22.10\00:30:25.34
mind and heart got
distorted and every
00:30:25.67\00:30:29.49
distortion presupposes
an original, you've got
00:30:29.64\00:30:32.67
an original and then
it gets distorted like,
00:30:32.70\00:30:35.88
like lust is a
distortion of love or licensed
00:30:36.29\00:30:40.48
lawlessness is a
distortion of liberty,
00:30:40.61\00:30:42.66
sin somehow distorted
God's image in Lucifer.
00:30:43.30\00:30:48.00
The son of the
morning, got it distorted who in
00:30:48.91\00:30:54.10
turn distorted God's
image before the angelic
00:30:54.24\00:30:57.62
host, then before the
world and now we've got
00:30:57.80\00:31:04.02
preachers who preach
that God will burn people
00:31:04.11\00:31:07.46
in hell forever and
to face the image of the
00:31:07.69\00:31:10.95
loving God or we get
report just this week
00:31:11.11\00:31:15.02
that a certain
preacher married his boyfriend,
00:31:16.07\00:31:20.46
or as we heard
just several weeks ago a
00:31:22.63\00:31:24.99
Christian singer
decided to marry her girlfriend
00:31:25.16\00:31:28.65
and come on national
TV and say, it's alright
00:31:28.95\00:31:33.22
God doesn't mind
he just loves us.
00:31:33.46\00:31:36.30
So we get an image
of an God who is either
00:31:38.36\00:31:40.31
spineless and weak
less or just ashamed or
00:31:40.58\00:31:43.57
doesn't have the
power to change us from sin,
00:31:43.77\00:31:46.35
it is a distortion
of a God that we serve.
00:31:46.61\00:31:51.05
Sin began as a distortion
of the image of God in
00:31:53.16\00:31:55.55
one of his creatures,
sin is a living lie and
00:31:55.67\00:31:58.79
everyone living in
sin is living a lie.
00:31:58.94\00:32:02.71
Whatever sin is at
it's core it bespeaks a
00:32:05.96\00:32:09.57
disaffection, a
dissatisfaction with what
00:32:09.84\00:32:12.89
I am and what I have
to endure and what I have
00:32:13.21\00:32:16.20
to take and what I
want? And what God desires
00:32:16.36\00:32:19.19
for me? God says do it
this way, I determine I
00:32:19.28\00:32:22.87
will do it in another way.
00:32:22.91\00:32:24.41
Lucifer couldn't
have anything more,
00:32:27.05\00:32:31.25
he was the first of
his order, you cannot
00:32:33.06\00:32:37.10
supersede number one,
there is nothing ahead of
00:32:37.23\00:32:41.23
number one, the only
position better than top
00:32:41.54\00:32:46.20
angel is God. And
excuse me that position is
00:32:46.50\00:32:52.14
already taken. Amen.
00:32:52.26\00:32:54.44
For any created being
to be or desire to possess
00:32:58.78\00:33:02.94
any part of God beyond
his character is insane.
00:33:03.26\00:33:07.42
Amen. And frightening
and sin. Can you imaging
00:33:08.44\00:33:15.06
having the
omnipotent power of God without
00:33:15.33\00:33:18.96
the character of the
God? The power to create
00:33:19.02\00:33:23.41
and to destroy, to set
up or pour down without
00:33:23.64\00:33:28.16
the superintending
power of love to guide all of
00:33:28.24\00:33:31.54
your actions and yet
that is precisely what Satan
00:33:31.57\00:33:37.59
wanted. I want the
authority, I want the
00:33:37.74\00:33:41.68
praise, I want the
glory, I is that covetous
00:33:41.98\00:33:47.37
mindset that was at
the heart of the sin.
00:33:47.83\00:33:50.81
So, my brothers and
sisters in the caldron
00:33:52.65\00:33:54.31
that was once day
star, they are simmered and
00:33:54.38\00:33:58.06
admixture of
selfishness, egotism, jealousy,
00:33:58.22\00:34:03.69
envoy,
covetousness. Salted with self
00:34:05.38\00:34:10.04
exaltation and an
unholy desire to posses what
00:34:10.19\00:34:16.77
he could never have.
And quicker than you can
00:34:16.85\00:34:20.57
blink, wink, or
think, sin was born.
00:34:20.93\00:34:27.82
That's right. So
new, so novel, so original
00:34:28.91\00:34:36.84
that even Lucifer
did not know what he was
00:34:38.02\00:34:42.34
dealing with. How could he know?
00:34:42.53\00:34:45.99
How could he
understand? How could he look
00:34:47.32\00:34:49.93
down through the
corners of the time and
00:34:50.15\00:34:52.18
realize that he
had created a disease?
00:34:52.44\00:34:56.90
No angel had
ever seen sin before?
00:34:58.47\00:35:01.80
No one knew what
sin was, there were no
00:35:03.48\00:35:07.92
discordance steps
in the kingdom of God.
00:35:08.35\00:35:10.87
This was a brand
new thing. And at first
00:35:11.19\00:35:15.31
glance, sin back then
like sin today doesn't
00:35:15.43\00:35:21.23
look so bad. That's
why we have to preach so
00:35:21.67\00:35:29.29
hard against it.
Say that. That's why
00:35:29.51\00:35:31.57
it has to be played
out, because it doesn't look
00:35:31.61\00:35:35.84
so bad at first
glance. In the right light and
00:35:36.12\00:35:43.65
with the right spin,
sin looks like freedom.
00:35:43.79\00:35:49.61
Who knows? That's
why God couldn't destroy
00:35:55.14\00:36:00.70
Satan immediately,
because at first nobody
00:36:00.92\00:36:06.45
knew, nobody
understood that what Lucifer was
00:36:06.83\00:36:11.45
considering would
result in his defection from
00:36:11.74\00:36:15.77
his job, his rejection
of God, his ejection from
00:36:15.84\00:36:21.90
heaven and his
infection of this entire planet.
00:36:22.09\00:36:28.27
Sin is not just simply
a rejection of the word of
00:36:31.72\00:36:36.67
God or the law of
God, it is de facto a
00:36:36.94\00:36:41.71
rejection of God himself. Amen.
00:36:41.83\00:36:45.70
It is a rejection of
all that God stands for,
00:36:49.27\00:36:52.51
thus in the truest
sense of the word and the best
00:36:54.04\00:36:58.20
attempt that the Bible
makes to understand and
00:36:58.44\00:37:00.84
define sin, we read
this in First John chapter 3,
00:37:01.05\00:37:04.63
verse 4, whoever
commits sin doth also
00:37:04.92\00:37:11.43
transgress the law
for sin is, it is the
00:37:11.71\00:37:17.94
transgression of the
law. What then is sin?
00:37:18.09\00:37:23.29
It is the transgression
of the law, to have sin
00:37:24.01\00:37:30.27
presupposes that you
have law. If there is no
00:37:31.34\00:37:36.50
law there can be no sin.
00:37:36.94\00:37:40.76
For by definition sin is the
00:37:41.83\00:37:46.04
transgression of the law.
00:37:46.23\00:37:48.57
Paul says in
Romans chapter 7, verse 7,
00:37:49.87\00:37:51.70
I would not have known
sin except for the law.
00:37:52.10\00:37:56.81
So, where you've got
sin you got to have a law
00:37:58.43\00:38:01.78
that was broken.
Amen. So, not only is sin a
00:38:02.22\00:38:06.38
rejection of the law,
it is de facto a rejection
00:38:06.69\00:38:12.21
of the law's
author and then is a
00:38:12.99\00:38:17.31
rejection of God himself.
00:38:17.45\00:38:20.90
Douglas Cooper in his
book 'living God's love'
00:38:22.48\00:38:26.05
says that all sin is
based on a failure to
00:38:26.92\00:38:31.52
love God enough.
Think about that,
00:38:31.70\00:38:35.17
put that in the
blender, spin it around a bit,
00:38:36.46\00:38:39.57
all sin, he says is
a failure to love God
00:38:40.96\00:38:45.30
enough, if you love
him enough you put him
00:38:45.51\00:38:47.79
first and when you put
him first he cleanses sin
00:38:48.00\00:38:51.49
from your life. Amen.
So, he says if you're not
00:38:51.71\00:38:54.97
being cleansed you are
not loving or you're not
00:38:55.16\00:38:58.86
loving enough. The
current hip parlance is
00:38:59.13\00:39:04.91
ultimate
lifestyle. Everybody wants to
00:39:05.08\00:39:07.41
an ultimate
lifestyle, don't talk about my
00:39:07.52\00:39:09.82
lifestyle, I won't
talk about your lifestyle,
00:39:09.91\00:39:11.93
we just live alternate
lifestyle that's good for
00:39:12.21\00:39:14.34
you, this is good for
me. It is interesting because
00:39:14.47\00:39:19.74
alternate lifestyle is
remarkably close to one
00:39:19.95\00:39:23.22
of the definitions
for sin. You know I
00:39:23.25\00:39:26.57
discovered no less
than 19 word examples for
00:39:26.73\00:39:31.38
sin. Nineteen, six in
the Old and 13 in the New
00:39:31.52\00:39:40.86
Testimony,
nineteen categories for sin.
00:39:42.33\00:39:47.99
There are only five
total categories for
00:39:50.07\00:39:51.95
love, that's right,
19 for sin. You got, ah,
00:39:52.13\00:40:00.21
let's see, you've
got in the Greek for Love
00:40:00.30\00:40:05.21
you've got Eros,
Phileo, Agapao, and one that is
00:40:05.34\00:40:11.30
not spoken of too
much because it's only used
00:40:11.51\00:40:14.27
twice Romans
chapter 10 and 2nd Peter,
00:40:14.47\00:40:18.12
Storge, which is
translated natural
00:40:18.77\00:40:21.92
affection and then
you've got a whopping 13
00:40:22.14\00:40:27.92
words for sin in
the New Testament alone.
00:40:28.30\00:40:32.23
I suspect the fact
that there are so many words
00:40:34.08\00:40:36.54
gives evidence to the
many ways that you can
00:40:37.44\00:40:40.91
fall into sin. It
speaks of the treachery of the
00:40:41.07\00:40:46.16
author of the sin,
of the way the devil
00:40:46.44\00:40:49.72
can pull us into
sin. It shows the hideous
00:40:50.15\00:40:54.07
and insidious nature
of sin. Doing what you
00:40:54.42\00:40:59.13
should not do is
sin. Amen. Ummh! Ummh!
00:40:59.28\00:41:04.30
Not doing what
you should do. Amen.
00:41:08.89\00:41:14.47
He that knoweth to do
good and doeth it not to
00:41:16.90\00:41:18.90
him it is sin.
Thinking about doing it,
00:41:18.99\00:41:28.12
getting others to
think about doing it,
00:41:36.62\00:41:38.57
is sin. Encouraging
others to do wrong is
00:41:40.77\00:41:46.37
sin. That's right,
discouraging others from
00:41:46.55\00:41:53.16
doing right, Amen,
is sin. Saying the wrong
00:41:53.40\00:42:04.22
thing is sin, not
saying the right thing,
00:42:04.34\00:42:12.86
encouraging others
to do wrong is sin.
00:42:21.30\00:42:25.52
Discouraging others
from doing right is sin.
00:42:28.47\00:42:31.88
You see, sometimes we
get the victory through
00:42:33.62\00:42:37.37
senility, that
means, that mean you don't
00:42:37.59\00:42:44.12
want to do it you just
too old to boogie. Amen.
00:42:44.33\00:42:49.51
And God knows you
would if you could.
00:42:50.84\00:42:54.92
That is sin. Well,
the Bible says make no
00:42:58.85\00:43:03.60
provision. That's
right. Don't even prepare,
00:43:03.79\00:43:07.30
don't even think
about, that's right.
00:43:07.53\00:43:10.15
Sins of omission, sins
of commission, stuff you
00:43:10.75\00:43:16.20
should do you don't,
stuff you should not do
00:43:16.23\00:43:19.36
yet do. So, many
ways to fall into sin.
00:43:19.87\00:43:29.53
Thirteen New
Testament, we want to run
00:43:31.52\00:43:33.05
through them
very quickly. Kakus,
00:43:33.08\00:43:36.49
k-a-k-u-s, simply
means bad, bad axe.
00:43:37.13\00:43:41.62
Romans 13 Hamartia,
I will talk about that
00:43:41.99\00:43:45.42
again in a
minute, missing the mark.
00:43:45.60\00:43:47.51
First John 3
Adikia, unrighteousness.
00:43:48.03\00:43:51.59
First Corinthians
6:9 Anomia, lawlessness
00:43:54.40\00:43:57.10
from which we get
anarchy. First Timothy
00:43:57.35\00:43:59.02
1:1, Paraptoma, fault,
we'll do that in just a
00:43:59.23\00:44:03.57
moment. Galatians
6:1 Planao to go astray.
00:44:03.60\00:44:08.35
First Peter 2:25,
Agnoeo, ignorant sin, that sin
00:44:09.27\00:44:15.71
you do, you don't
even know you're doing it,
00:44:15.78\00:44:17.18
it's still sin. That's right.
00:44:17.21\00:44:19.99
Romans 13:3 rather
Romans 10:3 Parabatai,
00:44:25.01\00:44:28.82
transgression,
James 2:9 Poneros, evil,
00:44:29.59\00:44:34.91
meaning evil
people. Matthew 5:45,
00:44:35.06\00:44:40.61
Asebes, Godless,
Romans 1:18 enochos,
00:44:41.65\00:44:47.62
guilty. James 2:10
Hypokrites, two faced.
00:44:48.78\00:44:54.50
It tends to be a Church sin.
00:45:00.73\00:45:01.98
First Timothy 4:2 and
Parapipto, falling away.
00:45:09.08\00:45:13.14
Hebrew 6:6, now we
can't deal with them all.
00:45:14.02\00:45:16.99
So, I want to take
the big three before I am
00:45:17.11\00:45:19.05
done. Hamartia,
Anomia and Paraptoma.
00:45:19.08\00:45:24.38
Paraptoma we find in
Galatians chapter 6 verse
00:45:25.35\00:45:27.54
1, the Bible says if a
brother be overtaken in a
00:45:27.57\00:45:31.83
fault, a paraptoma and
usually a paraptoma is a
00:45:32.69\00:45:36.85
deliberate sin. You
know, when you know you
00:45:37.08\00:45:39.57
are doing wrong,
but you're gonna do it
00:45:39.60\00:45:41.12
anyhow. That's a
paraptoma, but even
00:45:41.42\00:45:44.72
then the Bible says,
and we ought to praise God
00:45:44.83\00:45:46.62
for this. The Bible
says even when you sin
00:45:46.65\00:45:49.18
deliberately God says
restore. That's right.
00:45:49.64\00:45:52.64
Amen. Restore in love.
So, even if he bold faced
00:45:52.89\00:45:57.51
sins, one those kind
of hand on your hip type
00:45:57.58\00:46:04.13
sins. God says there
is still restoration for
00:46:04.45\00:46:11.01
that person.
Amen. Amen. Praise God,
00:46:11.15\00:46:13.20
that's a
paraptoma, if a brother falls,
00:46:13.45\00:46:16.48
makes a mistake,
sins restore him in love.
00:46:16.63\00:46:19.86
Amen. Amen. The
next one is Anomia
00:46:20.07\00:46:22.48
from which we get
anarchy or lawlessness.
00:46:23.70\00:46:27.10
It is important because
this is used in the First
00:46:28.30\00:46:32.09
John 3:4 definition
for sin, when you sin you
00:46:32.19\00:46:37.10
trespass the law of
God. For sin is lawlessness,
00:46:37.46\00:46:44.48
you know as bad it is
not to believe in God,
00:46:45.91\00:46:48.33
it is arguably worse
to believe in God and live
00:46:49.70\00:46:55.15
like he doesn't
exist. Amen. That's right.
00:46:55.96\00:46:58.65
There are so many who
reject God because they
00:47:00.82\00:47:04.42
don't want the
rules, they don't want the
00:47:04.50\00:47:07.31
regulations. Yes.
They don't want the laws of
00:47:07.43\00:47:10.43
God. You know, it's
very, very interesting how
00:47:10.68\00:47:12.38
everybody likes Christmas.
00:47:12.41\00:47:13.66
Everybody likes Jesus
as a baby. That's right.
00:47:15.45\00:47:18.20
No problem with the
baby Jesus, because the
00:47:18.86\00:47:21.18
baby Jesus can't hurt
you. Everyone likes the
00:47:21.22\00:47:24.11
baby, it's when
the baby grows up. Yes.
00:47:24.22\00:47:27.79
That's where we
got a problem with him,
00:47:28.03\00:47:29.37
because the grown up
Jesus says lay down your
00:47:29.92\00:47:33.01
life, pick up your
cross, follow me. It's the
00:47:33.18\00:47:36.16
grown up Jesus
that comes with the
00:47:36.19\00:47:37.71
"thou shall not." It's
the grown up Jesus that
00:47:38.02\00:47:41.40
says you got to turn
your back on the world
00:47:41.43\00:47:43.50
and turn your face
toward me, I had no
00:47:43.73\00:47:45.18
problem with the baby
because the baby can't
00:47:45.39\00:47:47.96
hurt you. It's the
grown up Jesus, the walking,
00:47:48.17\00:47:51.04
talking, living, loving
and dying Jesus that we'd
00:47:51.12\00:47:53.44
all want. That right.
That's right. Because we
00:47:53.47\00:47:55.48
don't want the laws and
we don't want the rules.
00:47:55.58\00:47:58.28
So, stay in the crib,
that's right, stay in the
00:47:59.15\00:48:03.34
manger, like the
swaddling clothes,
00:48:03.49\00:48:06.75
but I don't like
those gray clothes that were
00:48:07.57\00:48:09.40
there on Sunday morning.
00:48:09.51\00:48:10.50
Living lawless sinful lives.
00:48:14.30\00:48:17.56
The third of the
big three is Hamartia,
00:48:19.23\00:48:21.59
translated missing the
mark, or the wrong path.
00:48:23.68\00:48:27.89
Hamartia is most
inclusive of all the
00:48:28.87\00:48:31.26
words. Consequently it
is the word that is most
00:48:31.48\00:48:34.38
often translated sin.
It is the word that is
00:48:34.50\00:48:37.84
used in First John
chapter 3, verse 4.
00:48:38.04\00:48:40.45
It is the most inclusive.
It, it deals with moving
00:48:40.73\00:48:45.82
away from the way of
righteousness. In First
00:48:46.16\00:48:50.08
John chapter 3
verses 4 through 6, the word
00:48:50.27\00:48:53.84
Hamartia in those two
verses is used six times.
00:48:54.02\00:48:58.13
Harmatia is combined
in this definition with
00:49:00.27\00:49:04.73
Anomia. Anyone the
Bible says who practices
00:49:05.42\00:49:10.21
sin, Harmatia, who
practices missing the
00:49:10.56\00:49:14.66
mark or going the
wrong way, the Bible says in
00:49:14.86\00:49:18.22
Greek 'Te Kan Anomia
Poieo,' also practices
00:49:18.49\00:49:23.73
lawlessness. Kan
Hamartia for sin going your
00:49:24.33\00:49:30.16
own way is Anomia, lawlessness.
00:49:30.19\00:49:34.71
So, if you practice
sin you are lawless,
00:49:35.75\00:49:39.90
you are moving
against the law of God and God
00:49:40.59\00:49:44.24
himself. How could
one third of the heavenly
00:49:44.38\00:49:50.47
host that was lied
too and deceived have
00:49:50.50\00:49:55.59
possibly known
that their malignant
00:49:55.78\00:49:58.89
experiment would
result in a voluntary death
00:49:59.14\00:50:02.78
of the creator and
commander Jesus Christ
00:50:03.06\00:50:05.60
who they love
instigated by one who had been
00:50:05.89\00:50:10.16
closest to him of
all the creative beings.
00:50:10.59\00:50:13.34
No way they
could have known that.
00:50:14.51\00:50:15.87
And as the light
went out in the heart of
00:50:17.33\00:50:20.93
Lucifer, it was
replaced by a darkness that
00:50:21.05\00:50:27.65
delighted in death.
I am in John chapter 8,
00:50:27.84\00:50:32.01
verse 44, the word
of God affirms he was a
00:50:32.15\00:50:36.76
murderer from the
beginning, and does
00:50:36.91\00:50:41.02
not stand in the truth
because there is no truth
00:50:41.20\00:50:47.14
in him. That's
right. When he speaks a lie,
00:50:47.73\00:50:51.55
he speaks from his
own resources, for he is a
00:50:52.27\00:50:55.66
liar and the father of
it. As it were the ultimate
00:50:55.82\00:51:03.14
spiritual black hole
no life, no love and no
00:51:03.92\00:51:11.76
light, caught in a self
spun web beyond all hope
00:51:11.95\00:51:17.31
of redemption, such
brothers and sisters is
00:51:17.51\00:51:22.85
the legacy and the
nature and the destiny of sin
00:51:22.98\00:51:29.60
and sinners. What
will sin do for you,
00:51:30.39\00:51:34.58
let's take a look at
what it did for it's author
00:51:36.56\00:51:41.08
and I must admit to
you that when I read this
00:51:42.70\00:51:44.56
particular passage
from early writing page 152,
00:51:45.56\00:51:48.82
it gives me the
creeps. I discovered this years
00:51:49.85\00:51:54.18
ago and pulled it
up again two weeks ago
00:51:54.21\00:51:57.39
when I was writing,
I usually after Erma
00:51:57.54\00:51:59.84
goes to bed I step a
little while and I write
00:52:00.03\00:52:02.03
some in the quiet.
But when I wrote this
00:52:02.32\00:52:04.48
passage I made sure
she was up and in the room
00:52:04.62\00:52:06.78
with me. I don't want
to be alone when I read
00:52:06.95\00:52:10.53
this. It's Ellen White's
description of Satan when
00:52:10.62\00:52:16.83
she saw him.

00:52:16.86\00:52:21.66
I was shown Satan as
he once was, a happy,
00:52:22.80\00:52:26.57
exalted angel. Then I
was shown him as he now
00:52:26.87\00:52:31.01
is. He still bears a
kingly form. His features
00:52:31.04\00:52:36.33
are still noble, for
he is an angel though
00:52:36.39\00:52:40.11
fallen. But his expression,
00:52:40.26\00:52:43.10
the expression of his
countenance is full of
00:52:44.62\00:52:46.88
anxiety, care,
unhappiness, malice,
00:52:46.95\00:52:51.28
hate, mischief,
deceit, and every evil.
00:52:52.13\00:52:56.76
That brow which
was once so noble,
00:52:58.05\00:53:01.44
I particularly
noticed his forehead,
00:53:02.14\00:53:05.38
it commenced to
recede from his eyes.
00:53:06.88\00:53:10.15
I saw that he had so
long bent himself to evil
00:53:11.19\00:53:14.56
that every good
quality was debated, and every
00:53:14.97\00:53:18.70
evil trait was developed.
His eyes were cunning,
00:53:18.75\00:53:23.44
sly, and showed great
penetration. His frame
00:53:24.58\00:53:30.28
was large, but the
flesh hung loosely from his
00:53:30.43\00:53:33.97
hands and face. As I
beheld him, his chin was
00:53:34.19\00:53:39.99
resting upon his hand.
It appeared or rather he
00:53:40.19\00:53:44.71
appeared to be deep
in thought. A smile was
00:53:44.93\00:53:49.12
upon his countenance,
which made me tremble,
00:53:49.22\00:53:53.06
it was so full of
evil, and Satanic slyless,
00:53:53.95\00:53:56.76
slyness. This smile
is the one he wears just
00:53:57.25\00:54:01.58
before he makes
sure of his victim,
00:54:01.69\00:54:04.69
and fastens the
victim in his snare,
00:54:06.30\00:54:10.01
when he does so,
this smile grows horrible.
00:54:11.37\00:54:16.87
Revelation chapter 12
verses 7 through 11 and I
00:54:19.25\00:54:23.19
will keep just a
little bit for the sake of the
00:54:23.22\00:54:24.89
time. For the Bible
says war broke out in
00:54:24.92\00:54:27.50
heaven, Michael and
his angels fought with the
00:54:27.71\00:54:30.49
dragon and the dragon
and his angels fought but
00:54:30.63\00:54:33.46
they didn't prevail
nor was a place found for
00:54:33.62\00:54:36.96
them in heaven any
longer, so the great
00:54:37.08\00:54:40.29
dragon was cast out,
that serpent called the
00:54:40.42\00:54:42.86
Devil and Satan, who
deceives the whole world;
00:54:43.17\00:54:45.19
he was cast to the
earth, and his angels
00:54:45.54\00:54:47.41
were cast out
with him. Verse 11,
00:54:47.49\00:54:50.71
but they overcame
him. They overcame him.
00:54:51.56\00:54:56.18
Amen. Yeah. By the
blood of the Lamb and
00:54:57.36\00:54:59.97
the word of their
testimony, let us close
00:55:00.06\00:55:04.81
Revelation chapter 6
beginning at verse 17,
00:55:04.98\00:55:08.87
for the sake of time
I have to jump just a
00:55:09.79\00:55:11.37
little bit, but God
be thanked the Bible says
00:55:11.57\00:55:16.07
that though you are
slaves of sin, yet you
00:55:16.81\00:55:19.63
obeyed from the heart
and from the doctrine to
00:55:19.86\00:55:22.94
which you were
delivered and having been set
00:55:23.07\00:55:26.00
free from sin, you
became slave, praise God,
00:55:26.28\00:55:30.40
of righteousness. What
fruit did you have there
00:55:30.65\00:55:35.72
in the things of
which you are now ashamed,
00:55:35.79\00:55:40.15
for the end of those
things is death. But now,
00:55:40.94\00:55:46.70
having been set
free from sin and having
00:55:48.17\00:55:56.80
become slaves of God,
00:55:57.07\00:56:00.43
you have your fruit
to Holiness and the end
00:56:04.08\00:56:10.34
everlasting life.
Amen. For the wages of sin is
00:56:12.37\00:56:24.77
death. That's right. Amen.
00:56:24.98\00:56:27.07
But aren't you glad it
doesn't stop there. Amen.
00:56:27.37\00:56:29.91
Aren't you glad there
is another line, aren't you
00:56:30.48\00:56:33.24
glad that Paul
doesn't leave you in the sin
00:56:33.47\00:56:35.75
hole. Amen. Because
the wages of sin is death
00:56:36.14\00:56:39.90
and all of us have
sinned. So, why aren't
00:56:40.26\00:56:45.48
we dead? Because
there is one more lie,
00:56:45.87\00:56:52.52
just one more lie.
But the gift of God.
00:56:54.12\00:57:06.12
Hallelujah. Amen.
Amen. The gift of God,
00:57:07.93\00:57:12.74
Amen, is eternal
life, Amen. Amen, through
00:57:13.90\00:57:19.80
Jesus Christ, our
Lord. Amen. Amen. Amen.
00:57:19.94\00:57:26.60
And amen, shall we
pray. Father God, thank you
00:57:26.94\00:57:30.14
for the victory that
we have in Jesus. Amen.
00:57:32.02\00:57:35.63
For sin shall not
have dominion over us,
00:57:35.98\00:57:38.40
oh no. Because
we've been bought,
00:57:38.71\00:57:41.61
we have been washed,
we have been redeemed.
