I'm glad to see all of you here tonight. I want be more. Can't means with 00:05:50.45\00:05:58.22 the need to hold before Jesus comes. You know, I was thinking she was so kind words 00:05:58.22\00:06:05.09 that she said. I don't know if I can ever live up to that. But she's very kind. But, you 00:06:05.09\00:06:12.07 of supervised long It's about time to have the last one. Want to You've got your Bibles 00:06:12.07\00:06:21.44 tonight. unchanging love. Now a kind chapter 3. Now a after 3. You know, there are some 00:06:21.44\00:06:35.22 things that we want to change little more sea of change. 00:06:35.22\00:06:40.23 You've noticed. >> Everything around us is changing. As talking to a the pastors in the 00:06:40.23\00:06:48.57 back and he was sharing with me in praying with me, which I really appreciated. Pray with 00:06:48.57\00:06:51.37 you before you come on. And he was telling me about all this digital money. Strange times 00:06:51.37\00:07:00.22 we're living in. But, you know, for on us to study Bible prophecy, we shouldn't be 00:07:00.22\00:07:07.86 surprised. mean, the mark of the beast is all about control. It's 00:07:07.86\00:07:09.92 what it's all about. And it's going to be a sea of Che were in a sea change. We're seeing that 00:07:09.92\00:07:14.96 change all around us all the time is going to speed up is going to get worse because one 00:07:14.96\00:07:17.97 thing that will never ever change. Unchangeable love. Does not change, And that's 00:07:17.97\00:07:27.44 what Molokai chapter 3. Looking at verses one to 6. Behold, I 00:07:27.44\00:07:36.38 send my messenger. All skipper spawn just for sake of time to hold a send my messenger and you 00:07:36.38\00:07:39.25 will prepare the way before me. And the Lord who musique will suddenly come to his temple. 00:07:39.25\00:07:46.76 Even the messenger of the covenant and whom you delight. Behold. He is coming. Jesus came 00:07:46.76\00:07:58.64 the first time and it sure is. I am standing here. He's coming the second time. He's coming. 00:07:58.64\00:08:04.95 Surely he is coming. Verse 2. Kenin Dewar the day of this coming now that sobering. can 00:08:04.95\00:08:18.19 do it. Who can stand when he He is like a refiners fire like a lot under us. So says 00:08:18.19\00:08:32.37 the Lord of host Namo Stop right here in mines. And Ezra Nehemiah as day and which this 00:08:32.37\00:08:36.34 was written. As I mean, Im. I got so upset with people that he actually pulled out some of 00:08:36.34\00:08:45.05 their beard. I know that's a little bit. Whatever. >> And the reason he was upset 00:08:45.05\00:08:54.56 is because as Sarah and I had had a great reformation, they have been in black and white 00:08:54.56\00:08:58.77 what we're going to do, what we're not going to do. There have been great changes. 00:08:58.77\00:09:02.24 Nehemiah goes back >> to Persia. And then when he comes back finds and doing the 00:09:02.24\00:09:06.68 same thing all over again. I want to say this helps front and loud, but you want to hear 00:09:06.68\00:09:11.15 tonight. The gospel was never given. For us to stay standing. 00:09:11.15\00:09:18.95 Let's listen to that. How come near you in judgment? I'll be a swift witness against the 00:09:18.95\00:09:29.90 sorcerer's adulterers per jurors and those who support wage earners, widows and orphans 00:09:29.90\00:09:33.87 against those who turn away an alien because they do not fear me says the Lord of Post. 00:09:33.87\00:09:41.38 >> 4, then here's the punch on this. The title. This is where we go tonight for I am the 00:09:41.38\00:09:47.12 Lord. I change. Not. Therefore our because I don't change you. Sons of Jacob. You're not 00:09:47.12\00:09:56.96 concerned. Only the mercies of God they deserved it. Kai was the last prophetic voice into 00:09:56.96\00:10:11.24 the Messiah. 400 years later. It looks like that K Ifas in the sand here and then learn 00:10:11.24\00:10:15.54 nothing from them. This a prophecy assures us of one fact God does not change. His 00:10:15.54\00:10:27.56 love does not change his mercy does not change. His justice does not change. His character 00:10:27.56\00:10:31.96 does not change. His law does not change and hallelujah. His gospel does not change. This 00:10:31.96\00:10:41.04 is a critical question. Can stand. When he comes. Now. It's a question that I want to 00:10:41.04\00:10:52.25 be able to say, praise God, I'm going to be able to stand. But the crucial question, it's 00:10:52.25\00:10:58.25 a critical question. What will be like to see Jesus coming? All this going ever let your 00:10:58.25\00:11:04.03 imagination run through that. One of the pictures, you know, that you have, of course, is 00:11:04.03\00:11:10.43 the book of Revelation. Worry comes with. Innumerable companies of Angels. Don't 00:11:10.43\00:11:17.64 like describes that is angelic forms filling the atmosphere every where and heaven and 00:11:17.64\00:11:22.01 earth as Jesus comes again. So amazing thought. And it comes with the eyes of flame and won 00:11:22.01\00:11:29.35 his eyes. Look at you it read your soul like an open book. You might and I might want to 00:11:29.35\00:11:38.03 be ready when that time comes. Pretty serious. His face shines brighter than the sun. 00:11:38.03\00:11:46.67 revelation tells us his royal tired leans like the broad. like you can imagine. What 00:11:46.67\00:11:51.74 would be like to face that glory. Schuller, unadulterated, 00:11:51.74\00:12:00.25 unselfish love. What would be like? The face that it's going to happen. Even if you die 00:12:00.25\00:12:11.19 before Jesus comes or you're alive, when he comes, you're going to face that glory. 00:12:11.19\00:12:18.23 Revelation. 6, 15, 17 describes the abject terror of those who are not ready. And the kings of 00:12:18.23\00:12:26.88 the Earth, the Great men, the Richmond, the commanders, the mighty man, every slave and 00:12:26.88\00:12:32.18 every free man. >> Hid themselves in the caves in the rocks of the mountains. 00:12:32.18\00:12:37.65 Now, this is a pretty amazing scene. And said to the rocks and mountains fall on us and 00:12:37.65\00:12:45.09 high from the face of him who sits on the throne. >> And from 00:12:45.09\00:12:52.63 the wrath of the Lamb for the great day of his wrath has come and who should be able to stand. 00:12:52.63\00:13:02.11 That's the wicked that our loss. You don't want to be in that 00:13:02.11\00:13:07.78 group. >> The fact I think even the righteous are going Trimble of that. I think every face is 00:13:07.78\00:13:13.12 going to gather Until the righteous here. That my grace is sufficient for you. So 00:13:13.12\00:13:21.46 nothing's going to bring relief to the mom. Marvel's picture of 00:13:21.46\00:13:28.27 this coming. Glorious safe here. Now to understand this crime, you misunderstand the events 00:13:28.27\00:13:34.91 that made it a reality. Before Jesus comes the world will experience the most powerful 00:13:34.91\00:13:42.05 Christian movement in the history of the world. What many people do not understand 00:13:42.05\00:13:47.12 is that battle in the mark of the beast is a Christian religious movement. This is a 00:13:47.12\00:13:54.86 global movement to save the world from ruin. And you can see everything to be put in 00:13:54.86\00:14:00.17 place from discussing behind the scene. Everything putting place for control control 00:14:00.17\00:14:02.87 control. It's why they hate the Constitution of the United States because it. Gives us 00:14:02.87\00:14:11.15 freedom. But they don't like that. Of course. And this global movement is going to 00:14:11.15\00:14:17.22 try to save the world from ruined by ruined. That has been 00:14:17.22\00:14:25.36 brought on by the hedonistic and restrain pursuit of selfish. Pleasure. Pleasure. That has 00:14:25.36\00:14:31.30 glorified every abomination known to man and to God. So global battle on has a solution 00:14:31.30\00:14:41.51 for the real one that is facing the world. That alone in force has the gospel. Her gospel is 00:14:41.51\00:14:50.32 going to be very attracted to the masses. Don't kids yourself? The media will be all and step 00:14:50.32\00:14:59.13 in promoting this saving solution. Masses of people will 00:14:59.13\00:15:04.77 start turning to Christianity based on battle gospel. But there's just one problem that 00:15:04.77\00:15:10.74 blunts gospel is not the biblical gospel. It's a false gospel. At the same time, God 00:15:10.74\00:15:16.88 will also have a force of Christians who take the Bible seriously. They embrace the 00:15:16.88\00:15:23.25 biblical gospel. They don't go about pleasing themselves. Are the world's leadership on the 00:15:23.25\00:15:28.42 masses? They have so much love for Jesus. As my friend was saying. Now it's time to start 00:15:28.42\00:15:32.59 saying Lord Jesus, how much can we love you? And this group is going to have that they have so 00:15:32.59\00:15:37.33 much love for Jesus, so much faith in his gospel. They just want to please him alone. In 00:15:37.33\00:15:45.47 contrast to babble and they're called Saints because they're faithful into things. They 00:15:45.47\00:15:50.71 keep the faith of Jesus and they keep the Commandments of God. And the reason I keep the 00:15:50.71\00:15:55.32 Commandments of God is a call to have the faith of Jesus. What is 00:15:55.32\00:16:02.12 the difference? Between the true gospel? And the false gospel. Both will tell you that Jesus 00:16:02.12\00:16:12.63 loves you. Both will tell you your say by faith in Christ. Both through. Hallelujah. Both 00:16:12.63\00:16:21.64 will use their gospel to establish what they claimed to be the law of gone. But only the 00:16:21.64\00:16:31.99 Saints will keep the uncorrupted faith of Jesus and because of that, they will keep an 00:16:31.99\00:16:39.56 unmodified an unchanged law of God. One of the clear statements on the Gospels found Roman 00:16:39.56\00:16:46.80 chapter 3. And I will take a little quick look at that tonight because I want to look 00:16:46.80\00:16:49.74 at the end of that. Roman chapter 3 verse. 21 says, but now the righteousness of God, 00:16:49.74\00:16:58.05 apart from the law is revealed being witnessed by the long the province. still wonder about 00:16:58.05\00:17:01.98 that little would it Paul really mean apart from that? When my boy was a teenager, he 00:17:01.98\00:17:07.29 had more energy. Then maybe sometimes he needed. We are taking fishing. That's a good 00:17:07.29\00:17:14.76 thing to do with Boyce. He's still a good fisherman today. I never I didn't catch 00:17:14.76\00:17:22.47 anything, but he can't something everyone saw bring up fish only 00:17:22.47\00:17:24.97 thrown back in the course. And some people eat them. And that's that's OK, it's up to them. That 00:17:24.97\00:17:31.61 fish. Would be flopping around on the bottom of that canoe boat or whatever we're imply 00:17:31.61\00:17:40.32 was that thing flopping around? >> Because it was running out 00:17:40.32\00:17:44.56 of oxygen. But isn't there plenty of oxygen in the air? >> He needed oxygen. And the 00:17:44.56\00:17:54.34 only way that fish could get oxygen was for that fish to be back in the water. Here is a 00:17:54.34\00:18:02.28 challenge. God's law as wonderful as it is. It is is a death nail to centers. We 00:18:02.28\00:18:17.13 needed a demonstration of the righteousness of God. Apart from the law. If we pour 00:18:17.13\00:18:24.73 centers, we're going to live. And in the demonstration of Jesus, life and death and 00:18:24.73\00:18:33.27 resurrection. That was the demonstration that we need the calls and that demonstration 00:18:33.27\00:18:38.25 of the righteousness of God we could live. And let me tell you something else about this. 00:18:38.25\00:18:43.42 That's wonderful. The righteousness of God expressed 00:18:43.42\00:18:50.03 in the law and the righteousness of God expressed in Christ is the same. Just like the oxygen 00:18:50.03\00:18:55.06 in the air and the auction in the water is the same. Rose 3.20, forces being justified 00:18:55.06\00:19:05.21 freely buys grace. Through the redemption. That is in Christ 00:19:05.21\00:19:11.38 justification. Top Jesus. I love this other not talk a lot about tonight. The justification is 00:19:11.38\00:19:17.72 our sins are forgiven by faith in Christ alone. Our names written in the book of Life and 00:19:17.72\00:19:26.43 We Are Born again. We must understand that once we're justified, we need to live the 00:19:26.43\00:19:31.80 justified life. We must pursue by the grace of God, a crisis like this. Listen, living the 00:19:31.80\00:19:39.31 justified life pursuing Christ likeness and pursuing Sanctification pursuing 00:19:39.31\00:19:43.98 holiness, what's the possible? Tell us to do. We have to understand that that also is 00:19:43.98\00:19:54.49 done by faith. Now, since some awful things to us. And that's why Jesus needs to polish us up 00:19:54.49\00:20:05.47 after he justifies us. Since that some awful things to us. Our intellect has been darkened 00:20:05.47\00:20:08.17 and we need spiritual education. That's why you have an encampment. That's why you read 00:20:08.17\00:20:14.58 your bibles. Hallelujah. And I hope you read the spear processing. I left mine the bat. 00:20:14.58\00:20:19.55 Let's pray do that. That's all right. I love the cross Crime Stoppers lessen the had a thing 00:20:19.55\00:20:26.82 or 2. I read out of that, but I don't have to get to its OK? Okay. And has been dark and our 00:20:26.82\00:20:31.69 emotions have been damaged and they need to be put in harmony with the truth, not our sin 00:20:31.69\00:20:37.13 damage wants and desires. Our will power has been weakened and it must be surrendered to the 00:20:37.13\00:20:43.47 will of God love. That's on all to Jesus. I surrender. It needs to be strengthened. That 00:20:43.47\00:20:48.88 will power needs to be strengthened. We need to be willing to be made willing. At 00:20:48.88\00:20:54.18 the end of Romans chapter 3. We have from 8. We have this affirmation. Almost 3.31. even 00:20:54.18\00:21:00.16 make void the law through faith. Certainly not on the contrary, 00:21:00.16\00:21:10.07 stab lish the So justification to do away with the dog. Log on. Is ours. Many of our evangelical 00:21:10.07\00:21:14.97 friends and others might tell us. Instead it establishes the law. And where does it establish 00:21:14.97\00:21:20.94 it? Listen to me. It establishes sit in our hearts. Which then establish it in our lives. 00:21:20.94\00:21:30.25 Thank you. God bless you. See how good they are around here and wonderful. The biblical 00:21:30.25\00:21:41.60 gospel doesn't do away with the law or modify it. Rather, it establishes The false 00:21:41.60\00:21:47.97 gospel will also establish a law. And that is what the mark of the beast is all about. It 00:21:47.97\00:21:53.07 is God's law which they have tampered with and modified. Which makes it their own lull 00:21:53.07\00:22:00.98 and not God's law. You can't fix perfect. And the long gone is perfect. Battles lull will 00:22:00.98\00:22:08.56 be more pleasing to the selfish heart of man. It's a law that brings glory demands 00:22:08.56\00:22:11.86 was dumb, but not God's wisdom. Which brings us back to the angry cry of the last 00:22:11.86\00:22:18.03 2. We'll be able to stand. This question is not a cry for help, but a cry of accusation 00:22:18.03\00:22:25.21 against Jesus. They're going to say we thought you loved us. We thought we were saved. 00:22:25.21\00:22:32.08 Our religious leaders told us that you're 10 Commandments could not be kept by human 00:22:32.08\00:22:37.35 beings. And there are some advantages that will tell you that. And they change them. 00:22:37.35\00:22:46.03 They go on to crying. It's Jesus and they change them to make them more relevant. So 00:22:46.03\00:22:50.87 told us not to worry about continuing in sin because you 00:22:50.87\00:22:57.31 grace would cover >> But now we can't look at your face >> Cheese. They go on. 00:22:57.31\00:23:05.68 >> You're not Faye, you're not just you're not merciful. So is that true? They write. And 00:23:05.68\00:23:17.16 God's 10 Commandments not be cat. Does God expect? Too much? And now because day 00:23:17.16\00:23:30.14 after the reformation of Ezra Nehemiah gone, accused Israel of being a lawless source, ERs 00:23:30.14\00:23:34.14 wires, adulterers extortioners in Aust still double. You deserve. He said my judgment, 00:23:34.14\00:23:41.78 my judicial anger. Nevertheless, because I do not change my 00:23:41.78\00:23:44.65 mercy. You not concerned the question. So why doesn't Jesus do that is second coming with 00:23:44.65\00:23:49.89 these people that are lost, what is and say to them because of my unchangeable mercy. I will not 00:23:49.89\00:23:55.10 destroy you. And now it caused a the Messiah had not yet appeared. When Jesus came the 00:23:55.10\00:24:03.91 first time, it was the most glorious revelation of the unselfish love of God ever 00:24:03.91\00:24:07.68 given our ever will be given. And we will study of 3 turn a T. When Jesus comes again. 00:24:07.68\00:24:15.62 Unlike in Molokai stay, the whole Earth will have been light and with the glory of 00:24:15.62\00:24:18.25 God, all the appeals from Heaven's Love would have been poured out in a mighty torrent 00:24:18.25\00:24:23.29 over the human race. Those appeals cannot be ignored any more than Kay Ifas could 00:24:23.29\00:24:32.40 ignore Jesus and when mercy finally Foles her wings, there is nothing else. God can do to 00:24:32.40\00:24:38.57 save another soul. How do we know? That would be accepted the true costs? Well, Tony. 00:24:38.57\00:24:49.78 Your heart will have been changed. From selfishness to unselfish love. I'm serious 00:24:49.78\00:24:56.59 tonight. Your heart would have been brought in harmony. Listen, what I said carefully. 00:24:56.59\00:25:05.87 Your heart will been brought in harmony with the Commandments of 00:25:05.87\00:25:11.14 gone. You will delight to walk in harmony with the spirit. Of Christ. You're selfish, self. 00:25:11.14\00:25:19.51 We'll have been crucified with Christ. Crucified. And the like you now live. You live by 00:25:19.51\00:25:29.42 faith and the son of God loved you and gave his life for you. That's how you know. You've 00:25:29.42\00:25:33.93 actually embraced. The true cost. What is God's unchangeable 00:25:33.93\00:25:42.20 love like let's listen as he talks to Moses and he says all make all my all my goodness pass 00:25:42.20\00:25:48.01 before you ex us 34 5 to 7 in the Lord pass before him and proclaim the Lord the Lord God 00:25:48.01\00:25:54.15 Merciful gracious, Longsuffering and abounding in goodness and 00:25:54.15\00:25:58.25 truth keeping mercy for thousands forgiving iniquity and transgression and Sen. 00:25:58.25\00:26:01.39 >> But by no means clearing the guilty. Visiting the iniquity of 00:26:01.39\00:26:07.73 the fathers of on the children and the children's children are the 3rd and 4th generation. All 00:26:07.73\00:26:11.40 God's goodness means that in these words, God's perfect unselfish moral love is 00:26:11.40\00:26:18.27 defined. His righteousness is holding is his mercy and his justices declared. This is who 00:26:18.27\00:26:24.65 God is. This is his name. This is his character. This is how he 00:26:24.65\00:26:30.45 will act. >> He is predictable because he is unchangeable. But notice. The seeming 00:26:30.45\00:26:39.19 contradiction which is not a contradiction over 7. Forgiving iniquity. But by no 00:26:39.19\00:26:46.67 means clearing the guilty. What is this mysterious paradox? And 00:26:46.67\00:26:54.11 what does it have everything to do with us? And what does it have to do with the gospel from 00:26:54.11\00:27:01.78 God's love? Flows to streams. His justice. And his mercy. The gospel ignores neither. And 00:27:01.78\00:27:12.06 here's the bottom line question. How can God be Justin? Still mercy on centers is the big 00:27:12.06\00:27:16.60 question. Paganism tried to solve it by bringing their own sacrifices even to their own 00:27:16.60\00:27:24.64 children. state Jews and Christians tried to solve it by offering to God religious 00:27:24.64\00:27:34.95 rituals and good works. But God has his own solution. Hallelujah. God, who is both 00:27:34.95\00:27:44.03 just and merciful saw his dilemma this way. And I hope you never forget this. God 00:27:44.03\00:27:52.67 sacrificed himself. In Christ. To his own justice. And in mercy. Set U.S. free. From his 00:27:52.67\00:28:06.51 own perfect judicial anger. By the way, should be glad to God's got anger against Sen. 00:28:06.51\00:28:14.49 Talk. More about that in just a little bit. Here's the reason. God's justice flows 00:28:14.49\00:28:20.80 from his love. Roman 7 tents is God's law brings life. It's not arbitrary. I've said this 00:28:20.80\00:28:28.37 in other places before and say it again. Very briefly. His 10 Commandments, our a bill of 00:28:28.37\00:28:31.44 rights. Is a lot of liberty and a lot of love. Everyone has a right to life, a right 00:28:31.44\00:28:40.68 to family, a right to property, right to the truth. Our right to 00:28:40.68\00:28:43.85 the unselfish love all the rest of God's children. Us Constitution is built on the 00:28:43.85\00:28:50.89 same same principle. Freedom is defined by law which guards everyone else's freedom without 00:28:50.89\00:28:55.56 those laws, freedom cannot exist. There's no freedom in death, chaos and destruction. We 00:28:55.56\00:29:06.57 have judges and sinful world to keep the peace and preserve us from chaos. Are these judges 00:29:06.57\00:29:09.74 good or evil? You may have picked it up. I just read not long ago, but the key, a voice 00:29:09.74\00:29:16.85 so stole 10,000. He is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Because they're easy to steal. One 00:29:16.85\00:29:25.36 person was in interviewing and they have no fear. The police have no fear the judges and 00:29:25.36\00:29:30.27 the fear of anything. And so I was interviewing so what you wanted and they take these 00:29:30.27\00:29:37.17 Carson while dry. That's what they're doing is for thrill And that's what he brought 00:29:37.17\00:29:41.78 over some innocent person. Think about that. Made it a child. Maybe it's just some 00:29:41.78\00:29:47.72 innocent person. And the answer is why she away. That's the world we're living in. No 00:29:47.72\00:29:56.46 thaw person they met. Couldn't get out of the way, course, to try to get out the way to get 00:29:56.46\00:29:59.63 out of the way. God has a responsibility for the peace and 00:29:59.63\00:30:10.74 prosperity of the universe. And I want to say hallelujah, it's big, by the way, these new 00:30:10.74\00:30:16.44 telescopes or something. I mean there show that even the scientists are just pulling 00:30:16.44\00:30:18.21 their minds on what to think. It's messing them up. I say hallelujah, if you if you if you 00:30:18.21\00:30:24.05 get just a little common sense, you figure out that you are so tiny, you don't know too much 00:30:24.05\00:30:26.86 of what you're seeing can only be possible by Monday gone. Mahdi creator. And it might be 00:30:26.86\00:30:33.40 time for you to get down on your knees. He cannot. The Lord cannot and will not let 00:30:33.40\00:30:39.67 selfish lawlessness take over. It is selfishness. Selfishness enters the universe. His 00:30:39.67\00:30:46.91 justice will rightly and justly exterminate. You'll feel good about having to say 00:30:46.91\00:30:55.25 that. They give you an illustration. Newsweek magazine. 00:30:55.25\00:31:03.59 2019 written Jason Murdoch. Even Thompson and his 4 year old son. In a place called our Allied 00:31:03.59\00:31:15.67 Beach in Queensland, Australia. We're walking along the Boardwalk. When a 15 foot scrub 00:31:15.67\00:31:21.08 python grabbed his little son. The father and drug him off the the board will the father 00:31:21.08\00:31:30.12 jumped off the boardwalk? >> Grab that hyphen and pull that 00:31:30.12\00:31:36.32 head apart. >> Tell it could release a son. And he said even when he put his son back up on 00:31:36.32\00:31:41.53 the boardwalk, the snake was still trying to get them. The skies should be lifted up as a 00:31:41.53\00:31:49.60 hero. He and his friends goes. He and his friend killed that snake. I'm make no apologies 00:31:49.60\00:31:56.54 to snake lovers. This is my kind of man. That snake. The only safe thing for that 00:31:56.54\00:32:11.96 little boy was that to be a dead snake. And this the only safe thing for the universe is 00:32:11.96\00:32:15.03 a snake of Sen that's going to pull its jaws back. He's done that for all of us already. 00:32:15.03\00:32:22.87 He's released to us and hallelujah. He has no intention of letting the rest 00:32:22.87\00:32:25.87 of the universe get s***** into thing. >> Therefore, just as 00:32:25.87\00:32:39.39 parents protect their children from evil. So God's justice does the same. He's just he's is a 00:32:39.39\00:32:46.90 result of his love. Now, God's love also set appropriate boundaries. Pleasure, by the 00:32:46.90\00:32:55.24 way, is something that God created. He likes it. So do we. 00:32:55.24\00:33:03.01 But unrestrained, unregulated and undisciplined. Pursuit of pleasure, harms others and 00:33:03.01\00:33:09.42 yourself. In a civilized world. Pleasure is to be enjoyed within boundaries, the respect and 00:33:09.42\00:33:13.96 protect other people's rights and your own good. This world is about to self-destruct in 00:33:13.96\00:33:20.23 the madness of unrestrained pursuit up. Pleasure in the name of freedom. Listen, 00:33:20.23\00:33:30.31 because neither God's justice nor does mercy changes hallelujah. The gospel does 00:33:30.31\00:33:33.64 not changed. What is the goal? Are the aim of the result of the gospel and you don't hear 00:33:33.64\00:33:42.32 this burial. Nano. Part of that is to forgive us our sins and I am upper taker of that. 00:33:42.32\00:33:52.23 Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Jesus. All he would say the same. I'm grateful to have my 00:33:52.23\00:33:59.37 name written a book of life. I'm grateful for the Sweet Spirit gone. I'm grateful for 00:33:59.37\00:34:04.37 all those things. That's not the ultimate parts to get today. What is the pain or the 00:34:04.37\00:34:15.32 goal are the result of the gospel? And we'll give you an answer right from the Apostle 00:34:15.32\00:34:20.02 Paul himself. Romans chapter 8 verses 3, 4, For what the law could not do. That was weak 00:34:20.02\00:34:28.00 from through the flash. That meeting was bad. Just couldn't do what it needs to be done. 00:34:28.00\00:34:31.23 He's just call it. Holy Justin, good. God did by sending his own 00:34:31.23\00:34:37.51 son and the likeness of simple flash on a count of Sen he can dance and the flash. And here it 00:34:37.51\00:34:45.85 comes. That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us. In other words, 00:34:45.85\00:34:54.76 the gospel exist so that the righteous law of God can be carried out in my life and 00:34:54.76\00:34:57.86 yours. Walk. Not according to the Flash. But according to the Spirit. You're walking. 00:34:57.86\00:35:07.80 According to the spirit, the law of God is being fulfilled in your life. The longest not 00:35:07.80\00:35:13.64 being fulfilled in your life out of your heart. You're not walking in spirit. The mission 00:35:13.64\00:35:20.38 of the Gospel is to bring centers back into the harmony of the law of God so that we 00:35:20.38\00:35:27.16 can associate with the rest of this endless universe. And this is what sets the true 00:35:27.16\00:35:33.13 gospel apart from the false gospel. How does God bring us back into harmony of Consul? 00:35:33.13\00:35:41.54 First, just 5 0nd, the Gospel brings the living Christ into our minds and hearts by means 00:35:41.54\00:35:48.84 of the Holy Spirit. Christ is in harmony with his law. When he comes into your heart. 00:35:48.84\00:35:59.02 Because he is the living law. If you if you get Christ you heart, you get all of it. The 00:35:59.02\00:36:10.50 resurrection of Jesus was essential to the gospel living Christ is essential to our 00:36:10.50\00:36:17.14 justification. That's exactly what Romans. Chapter 4 verse. 34 says for sake of time and 00:36:17.14\00:36:23.81 won't go there. Only the living Christ can apply to us what he 00:36:23.81\00:36:31.69 did for conference cross. That is why the living Christ is our high priest. God's love, Poor 00:36:31.69\00:36:40.86 Grace out at Calvary. Its vast is an ocean is a wonderful him says. But because of Calvary, 00:36:40.86\00:36:47.44 Grace is still being poured out in on us. >> From the heavenly 00:36:47.44\00:36:53.04 Sanctuary and then they'll scarred hands of our heavenly High priest. This is how we can 00:36:53.04\00:36:59.81 overcome all the forces of hail. This is why our characters could become like Jesus this. What 00:36:59.81\00:37:03.32 makes it possible for us to be born again, this God's grace. Is power. And if you look out 00:37:03.32\00:37:12.36 at that universe and now they're telling us they don't know for 00:37:12.36\00:37:17.23 sure they think there's at least 2 trillion galaxies. I don't know how many sons that makes. I 00:37:17.23\00:37:23.24 don't how many worlds that makes. But I'm telling you, there's an unhappy the universe 00:37:23.24\00:37:28.08 and there's got to be trillions of inhabited universe beings who are an fall on. And I want to 00:37:28.08\00:37:36.45 join him one of these days. God's got power. He put all that makes all that go. That's 00:37:36.45\00:37:49.26 the kind of power we're talking about. That even makes the ocean 00:37:49.26\00:37:58.14 look small. He's he's gracious, powered, forgive. Power to change. Power, to overcome. God 00:37:58.14\00:38:08.42 knows the only way to bring about compliance to his law of law is for a center to be given 00:38:08.42\00:38:12.69 heart of love. And that's what being born again, is all about. 00:38:12.69\00:38:17.96 This is the only a change Hart can change our behavior. You can educate people all day long and 00:38:17.96\00:38:26.13 I love the truth. We need to trim the tree to at least here. But the truth alone will not do 00:38:26.13\00:38:37.28 this. It's unthinkable. gospel would blot out our transgressions and still leave 00:38:37.28\00:38:41.75 us to wallow in our sins. At the end of time, God's love and mercy has still not changed. He 00:38:41.75\00:38:50.56 still pours out in Torrance. The true gospel guilty world. Any want us all to be able to 00:38:50.56\00:38:56.43 stand when he comes again. So why this heartbreaking cry. Who should be able to stand? 00:38:56.43\00:39:07.01 There's only one conclusion. They believed Babblings faults gospel. A gospel that claims 00:39:07.01\00:39:14.48 to forgive their sins but leaves them without a new heart, a gospel that claims to 00:39:14.48\00:39:20.62 cleanse them from Sen but allows them to keep breaking God's law, 00:39:20.62\00:39:25.79 a gospel that claims to give them internal security but robs them of the fitness to live in 00:39:25.79\00:39:28.96 an unselfish haven't. And in contrast to babble and is gospel God's in time, people 00:39:28.96\00:39:37.64 by Fay embrace the everlasting gospel. A gospel. That honors our faith. I'm I'm sorry that 00:39:37.64\00:39:50.02 yes. Honors our faith and covers arson with God's grace and it 00:39:50.02\00:39:55.69 does a gospel that claims to make us into a new creation and it does a gospel that puts our 00:39:55.69\00:40:00.90 life in union with Christ and it does. And the Gospel empowers us to overcome Sen. Somebody should 00:40:00.90\00:40:08.04 have said Amen. I don't want to be left in the sense stuff. Is a look at And it does a 00:40:08.04\00:40:21.22 gospel that assures that we can go through anything or anything 00:40:21.22\00:40:25.22 be victorious over anything. And it does a gospel that guarantees that we can do all things 00:40:25.22\00:40:32.76 through Christ to strengthen us. And it does a gospel that promises internal life. And a 00:40:32.76\00:40:38.27 sinless environment and it will. And it does. For sure. Hear me out. The grace of God does not 00:40:38.27\00:40:48.58 enable Sen the grace of God is at war with Sen Grace is not the enemy of the law, but the 00:40:48.58\00:40:55.12 enemy of and dear evangelical friends, many of them in some of their other friends. Some 00:40:55.12\00:41:01.79 of our other friends. We love them all. They think that grace is at war with the law. 00:41:01.79\00:41:11.83 It's only a war with those who think that they can Gore fall themselves by. Earning their 00:41:11.83\00:41:15.60 way that way. Grace has never been at war with the law. Got something else to tell you. 00:41:15.60\00:41:24.21 Grace and the law are Mary. They love each other deeply. And they're working together 00:41:24.21\00:41:33.05 for our salvation. This is the goal of grace. Now you're going 00:41:33.05\00:41:39.79 you're going to be quiet. This one. The goal of Grace is for us to be morally carefully. So all 00:41:39.79\00:41:53.11 this now. The grace, the goal of Grace's for us to be more only perfect. What's wrong with 00:41:53.11\00:42:03.49 being morally perfect. God said to Abraham, I am almighty God wall before me and b. 00:42:03.49\00:42:14.46 >> Perfect. >> David said it is God who arms and he was 00:42:14.46\00:42:20.27 strengthened. Makes my way perfect. Paul to the Colossians says are talking about a path 00:42:20.27\00:42:28.61 for us. Always laboring fervently for you in prayer that you may stand perfect and 00:42:28.61\00:42:32.08 complete and the will of God. John whom I like his was going to say next, the best. First 00:42:32.08\00:42:42.69 John 4.16, to 17. He who abides in love. Abides in God. And God in him. Love has been 00:42:42.69\00:42:50.30 perfected among us in this that we may have a boldness in the day of judgment. The next 00:42:50.30\00:42:58.31 part says perfect love cast out fear. Listen, you numbers is morally perfect because the 00:42:58.31\00:43:09.12 universe is imperfect. Love with got. And the Gospel. We'll do the same for us. The 00:43:09.12\00:43:22.46 gospel will establish and every one of our hearts, the perfect love of God. Now what 00:43:22.46\00:43:29.87 is righteousness or moral perfection? This is also not of blessings. And I love this 00:43:29.87\00:43:35.11 quote. Righteousness. Is love. Want. Is lump sum about unselfish love. Not this. 00:43:35.11\00:43:51.09 Infatuation stuff. You talk. And love is the light and the life of God. The righteousness 00:43:51.09\00:44:06.98 of God. Listen. Is embodied in Christ. We receive righteousness. Are we receive 00:44:06.98\00:44:17.02 God's love by receiving him. No, this word perfection gets. You get group of people get 00:44:17.02\00:44:27.40 Baptist Catholics who don't care, you get at Get him in a circle and say, well, anybody 00:44:27.40\00:44:32.97 perfect here. >> Everybody would me. >> That's because they 00:44:32.97\00:44:37.71 misunderstand perfection. A lot evidence misunderstand it. How about Jesus in the the 00:44:37.71\00:44:48.18 best authority? How'd you like to have his definition? Matthew sermon on the Mount, 00:44:48.18\00:44:57.59 the greatest one that was ever preach. Matthew 5.44, to 48, but I say unto you. Love your 00:44:57.59\00:45:03.43 enemies want. Bless those who curse. You. Very to Mike Hirsh your face, you look at them. 00:45:03.43\00:45:16.24 Smile and your heart. So, you know, really love you like to win you. Jesus. I want to 00:45:16.24\00:45:20.68 bless you. Not Kersh. Not natural. Do good to those who hate you and pray for those 00:45:20.68\00:45:31.26 who Spike Lee use you and persecute you. >> Jesus just 00:45:31.26\00:45:36.23 doubled. Triples quadruples down. That you may be sons of your father in heaven. And then 00:45:36.23\00:45:45.07 he gives the example for the father makes his sunrise on the eve of major run on the mark 00:45:45.07\00:45:50.15 says and the Nazis and all of your enemies and all the evil people, all the people that 00:45:50.15\00:45:53.88 are destroying the nation. God. >> Makes his son still rise on 00:45:53.88\00:45:58.59 the evil and the good. Does he send the rain on the just and the unjust? Because God has 00:45:58.59\00:46:08.53 unselfish love. Any wants to win them all. No matter if they curse his name, shake 00:46:08.53\00:46:17.81 their fist in his face. He says still loves them. This is not an indulgent love. It's a 00:46:17.81\00:46:26.78 love that come from the sacrifice that was seen on Calvary's Cross. For. If you 00:46:26.78\00:46:32.35 love those who love you, what rewards that seasonal for us to love each other. What war 00:46:32.35\00:46:40.10 not in the tax collector's do the same. And then here it comes. Here's the punchline. 00:46:40.10\00:46:46.03 B, you therefore perfect even as your father in heaven is perfect. Now say was sweet 00:46:46.03\00:46:54.21 kindness. I've heard a lot of sermons here and there. Well, you know, you just have to be 00:46:54.21\00:47:01.45 perfect points are means by this is you have to be perfect. Your 00:47:01.45\00:47:04.25 sphere as he is. And he's our come on. Come on. Let's not. Let's talk about. This is not a 00:47:04.25\00:47:12.73 checklist. This is a change of your heart. This is more world love. And God's moral love is 00:47:12.73\00:47:26.17 perfect. And if you receive the living Christ into your heart and my heart. Then we can 00:47:26.17\00:47:33.55 possess in Christ, heavens, moral love. And you may be. Flawed as we all are. Let me say 00:47:33.55\00:47:45.19 something. The stakes. Our sin, but not all. His mistakes. A lot of people hung up that 00:47:45.19\00:47:55.97 everything in the world is sent everything in seabrook's for some love to hear him preach. 00:47:55.97\00:48:02.84 Everything is CNN. Since the transgression of the law. And the reason, you know, it's in 00:48:02.84\00:48:12.09 is because he's got a death penalty attached to it. Not everything Sen. If we want to 00:48:12.09\00:48:22.50 be perfect and we months. You heard me. I know some will take that into where it's OK, 00:48:22.50\00:48:28.70 lets you. If we want to be perfect. We must have the living Christ in our heart. 00:48:28.70\00:48:37.81 And if you have him, you have more love. Perfect love because the love of Jesus is 00:48:37.81\00:48:46.22 perfect. A lot of people get messed up here. Because they think it's a checklist. The 00:48:46.22\00:49:02.27 gospel not only wipes out our guilt but brings moral perfection into our heart. Not 00:49:02.27\00:49:05.54 my giving us a checklist, but by giving us the unselfish and I want to say it. Perfect love 00:49:05.54\00:49:13.25 of Christ in our hearts. Now God is going to have to polish that. It was safe occasion is. 00:49:13.25\00:49:21.82 Teaching us to love the way he loves. Let me say this. If we have a love of Christ, we will 00:49:21.82\00:49:28.80 have loved the Lord with all our heart. If we have a love of Christ, we love our 00:49:28.80\00:49:33.64 neighbor as ourselves. If we have a love of Christ, the 10 Commandments. Will naturally 00:49:33.64\00:49:39.81 fall in place. I mean, if you have this perfect moral love in your heart, you're not 00:49:39.81\00:49:46.82 going to steal. You're not going to kill. You're not going to lie 00:49:46.82\00:49:55.66 your because why you're not going to covet neighbor's house or his wife husband or whatever. 00:49:55.66\00:50:04.20 She got the moral love of Jesus in your heart. >> The Ansel say 00:50:04.20\00:50:12.71 it again. The unselfish love of Christ. >> Is moral perfection. And I love all these other 00:50:12.71\00:50:22.02 things. They're good. Before we need to concentrate. On this. >> 00:50:22.02\00:50:33.76 Moral love. >> Of God. That's where Jesus put his finger. This in the world is headed towards 00:50:33.76\00:50:40.84 stupendous moral crisis. Jesus warned his parables like the 10 virgins. To prepare. Get 00:50:40.84\00:50:48.58 ready. Jesus is not keeping the world and all of us a lot to enable sin which he hates. 00:50:48.58\00:50:57.62 He's keeping the entire world a lot because he wants to save and transform as many centers 00:50:57.62\00:51:01.56 as he can. But in justice and his own justice is horrible pit of sin and mystery will 00:51:01.56\00:51:11.80 not be allowed to continue indefinitely. And that's why a close approach human probation 00:51:11.80\00:51:17.41 is looming over us. >> And the planet. Probation close once 00:51:17.41\00:51:27.28 before. And God is getting ready to close it again. The bomb was clear. This will happen just 00:51:27.28\00:51:33.72 before the second coming of Jesus. He's filthy, letting the filthy still he that is wholly 00:51:33.72\00:51:37.16 letting the holy still. Probation closes. So that Jesus 00:51:37.16\00:51:44.80 can re dean, his spotless bride. The church. Not only a bride who sins are forgiven, but a bride 00:51:44.80\00:51:53.34 who is not sending. Because she loves him. So very, very much. She is beautiful. Because she 00:51:53.34\00:52:08.99 has his more world unselfish love in her heart. Listen to the multitudes in heaven. 00:52:08.99\00:52:20.87 Rejoicing over the broad, they say let us be glad rejoin us and give him glory for the 00:52:20.87\00:52:25.87 marriage of the land is coming. His wife has made her self ready. How did make 00:52:25.87\00:52:32.55 yourself ready? She watches a road in the blood of the lamb. And she's filled with the love 00:52:32.55\00:52:36.79 of Jesus. Do her was granted to be a raid in fine linen, clean and white for the fine 00:52:36.79\00:52:44.73 linen is the righteous acts of the Saints. Jesus is coming to get a bride who is not 00:52:44.73\00:52:51.73 spoiling her wedding dress while she walks down the aisle. The scripture is clear. 00:52:51.73\00:52:58.01 Jesus coming to get a spotless pride. And that can only mean 2 things. Her sins have been 00:52:58.01\00:53:02.68 forgiven by her faith in the blood of the lamb and by faith and her powerful lord. And 00:53:02.68\00:53:10.12 because of her faith and her love, she sends no more because love is perfect. And I 00:53:10.12\00:53:17.03 could read Fusion is a morning roundup. Time here. So why are these voices not only in the 00:53:17.03\00:53:22.76 evangelical world, but some in the ads and to swirl declaring that we will be sending right 00:53:22.76\00:53:27.00 up until Jesus comes. Have these theological forces make peace with Sen when God makes 00:53:27.00\00:53:34.28 war was season have a drug Satan's koolaid. >> But believing that Jesus 00:53:34.28\00:53:37.91 is, we can say to strong how strong is Jesus. I'm here to say he's stronger than the 00:53:37.91\00:53:44.69 culture. He's stronger than our greatest temptations and diction. See stronger than 00:53:44.69\00:53:49.12 artificial intelligence. The new God of the world. Is the stronger than Hollywood are 00:53:49.12\00:53:55.40 the media is a strong and Satan and all the evil Angels put together. I'm telling you 00:53:55.40\00:54:00.34 he's stronger than all of our sins. All of them. Jesus is my guy. He's the almighty God. 00:54:00.34\00:54:09.41 He's in partnership with God, the father and God, the Holy Spirit who themselves our 00:54:09.41\00:54:14.45 almighty God. How does the gospel empower our overcoming son? Jesus asked the crucial 00:54:14.45\00:54:20.96 question. Why do you transgress the commandment of God? And then 00:54:20.96\00:54:26.03 the answers quoting from Matthew 15, 8 to 9. These people draw near to me with their mouth and 00:54:26.03\00:54:30.20 honor me with their lips. That's what Babylon does. >> But their 00:54:30.20\00:54:36.07 heart. It's far from me. Truth is not enough. The heart must be change, but I plead with you 00:54:36.07\00:54:46.72 tonight. If you're not been born again, you get down your needs. You plead with God. A change of 00:54:46.72\00:54:48.82 heart. If you don't have a transformation, you've got to have that transformation. 00:54:48.82\00:54:56.83 Jesus said to nicotine you'll never see the Kingdom of heaven. 00:54:56.83\00:55:01.43 I want that transformation every day in my life. I want to die to sell for the grace of God. The 00:55:01.43\00:55:08.34 Holy Spirit like the divine execution. If you ask him, he'll come in and put it to 00:55:08.34\00:55:10.11 death. Bob worker, friend of mine have been given some Bible study someone for 2 year 00:55:10.11\00:55:22.68 2 years. Person agreed with everything that they were taught. From the Bible. But 00:55:22.68\00:55:29.39 there was no change in life. So the bottle worker asked important question. Why hasn't 00:55:29.39\00:55:38.13 these trews change their behaviors? And the answer was. Because I want to do. What I 00:55:38.13\00:55:46.41 want to do. Doing what I want to do because I want to do it. Get 00:55:46.41\00:55:57.79 you in a very lost condition. This info. I don't have time to get all this tonight. But the 00:55:57.79\00:56:05.03 close of human probation is coming. And I had some young people I was teaching in down 00:56:05.03\00:56:11.07 Columbia, South Carolina a few years ago and they were scared. They were saying, we're afraid 00:56:11.07\00:56:15.60 we're not going to make it. So I want to say this. When you when we die in Christ were 00:56:15.60\00:56:22.38 sealed, all temptations call forever. The Holy Spirit promises to seal U.S.. To see 00:56:22.38\00:56:32.79 less at the close of probation. And I look at that word seal. 00:56:32.79\00:56:38.36 And it means that you protect something that's very precious that you build a fence around 00:56:38.36\00:56:47.37 it. So at the close of probation, you have to love across your heart. You let into 00:56:47.37\00:56:51.31 the polishing. Don't be afraid. God is still on his throne. The Holy Spirit is still might need 00:56:51.31\00:56:56.75 to help you and the Lord Jesus is going cover you with his righteousness through all the 00:56:56.75\00:57:00.15 seasons, Sages of eternity. >> Don't be afraid. Be serious, but 00:57:00.15\00:57:08.19 don't be afraid. The calls God never changes. And if he can help the Saints and all of them 00:57:08.19\00:57:15.06 down to the ages, he's ready and able and planning to help all of God's people as they face to 00:57:15.06\00:57:19.47 face the stupendous crisis of the close of human probation and the coming of the Lord he's 00:57:19.47\00:57:25.27 able to seal you. And when he feels you, you have nothing to be afraid of because his love 00:57:25.27\00:57:33.28 never changes. ¤ ¤ 00:57:33.28\00:57:45.89 ¤ ¤ ¤ 00:57:45.89\00:58:11.09
