Hello Friends, welcome
to 3ABN Sabbath School Panel
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
I'm John Lomacang and I
thank you for taking the time
00:00:02.73\00:00:05.03
to join us in
this Quarter's Study:
00:00:05.07\00:00:08.44
Three Cosmic Messages.
00:00:08.47\00:00:10.47
This week, Week Number 3,
00:00:10.51\00:00:12.41
we're talking about:
The Everlasting Gospel...
00:00:12.44\00:00:14.84
a gospel that has no end
00:00:14.88\00:00:17.58
as it relates to the
redemption of humanity.
00:00:17.61\00:00:20.78
We'd like to encourage you
00:00:20.82\00:00:22.15
to join us in our
study that's right here
00:00:22.18\00:00:23.65

Lomacang: Hello and
welcome to 3ABN Sabbath School,
00:01:13.23\00:01:15.24
I am John Lomacang.
00:01:15.27\00:01:16.60
Thank you so much for
taking the time to join us.
00:01:16.64\00:01:18.31
Every week, we
appreciate you tuning in to
00:01:18.34\00:01:21.24
listen to what God
has to say through us
00:01:21.28\00:01:24.08
and we take that humbly
with great responsibility.
00:01:24.11\00:01:26.41
We hope that we're
leading you and guiding you
00:01:26.45\00:01:28.72
to know Christ better
00:01:28.75\00:01:30.09
and to give your life
to Him as your Savior.
00:01:30.12\00:01:32.05
We have a
wonderful Panel today...
00:01:32.09\00:01:33.92
some of them you know
and some of them are new.
00:01:33.96\00:01:36.02
But right to my
immediate left is
00:01:36.06\00:01:37.89
Jill Morikone,
Vice President of 3ABN.
00:01:37.93\00:01:39.89
Good to have you here, Jill.
00:01:39.93\00:01:41.26
Thank you Pastor
John, glad to be here
00:01:41.30\00:01:42.63

The "Everlasting" Gospel.
00:01:46.07\00:01:47.57
Lomacang: Praise God
and the lady from Texas,
00:01:47.60\00:01:49.97
Shelley Quinn. how are you?
00:01:50.01\00:01:51.97

A Story of Grace.
00:01:55.88\00:01:57.25
Lomacang: Okay, and
a face that may be new
00:01:57.28\00:01:59.71
but some of you will
get to know him more,
00:01:59.78\00:02:01.98
Daniel Perrin, he's in
our Pastoral Department
00:02:02.02\00:02:04.19

00:02:04.22\00:02:05.89
good to have you here today.
00:02:05.92\00:02:07.26

giving us the scope
of what we're studying:
00:02:10.33\00:02:12.19
Into All the World.
00:02:12.23\00:02:13.73
Lomacang: And on
my other bookend,
00:02:13.76\00:02:15.80
the other son of thunder,
00:02:15.83\00:02:17.17
Pastor James
Rafferty, good to see you James.
00:02:17.20\00:02:19.23
Rafferty: Good to be here,
John, I have Thursday's Lesson
00:02:19.27\00:02:21.57
and it is
entitled: A Mission Movement.
00:02:21.60\00:02:24.01
Lomacang: Okay, that's
right, praise the Lord for that.
00:02:24.04\00:02:26.24
Well, why don't you
have our opening prayer
00:02:26.27\00:02:27.64
for us today, James.
00:02:27.68\00:02:29.01
Rafferty: All right, let's pray.
00:02:29.04\00:02:30.38
"Father, we want
to thank You so much
00:02:30.41\00:02:31.75
for this
everlasting gospel message:
00:02:31.78\00:02:33.21
The Three Angels' Messages
that's to go to all the world...
00:02:33.25\00:02:35.62
every nation, tongue and people,
00:02:35.65\00:02:36.99
no one being left out.
00:02:37.05\00:02:39.12
We thank You for the promise of
Your Spirit to guide our hearts
00:02:39.15\00:02:42.06
and the hearts of our Viewers.
00:02:42.09\00:02:43.43
We pray that You will be with us
00:02:43.46\00:02:44.79
and that You will
teach us and instruct us.
00:02:44.83\00:02:46.70
Comfort us... guide
us into all truth...
00:02:46.73\00:02:48.80
we ask these things
now in Jesus' name, amen. "
00:02:48.83\00:02:52.37
Panel: Amen.
00:02:52.40\00:02:53.74
Lomacang: Our Memory
Text is Revelation 14 verse 6.
00:02:53.77\00:02:58.04
If you have your
Bibles, turn there with us.
00:02:58.07\00:03:00.88
You know, when we talked
about the Three Cosmic Messages,
00:03:00.91\00:03:04.78
that's just a portion... a slice
of the message of Revelation.
00:03:04.81\00:03:09.28
Revelation is a book
that is not a sealed book,
00:03:09.32\00:03:12.35
it's title even reminds you
that it's not a sealed book...
00:03:12.39\00:03:15.79
the revelation...
00:03:15.82\00:03:17.16
but it's not a
revelation of beasts
00:03:17.19\00:03:18.66
and falling kingdoms
00:03:18.69\00:03:21.50
and plagues...
00:03:21.53\00:03:22.86
although those
components are contained in it,
00:03:22.90\00:03:25.97
it is a
revelation of Jesus Christ.
00:03:26.00\00:03:29.14
That's why this
message is so vitally important
00:03:29.17\00:03:32.14
and that's why this
lesson is important...
00:03:32.17\00:03:34.44
the everlasting gospel.
00:03:34.48\00:03:36.51
You know, Revelation 13:8,
"The Lamb slain... " Shelley...
00:03:36.54\00:03:40.72
Shelley: "from the
foundation of the earth. "
00:03:40.75\00:03:42.52
Lomacang: That's
right, Shelley loves that
00:03:42.55\00:03:44.25
and that's the fact...
long before man fell into sin,
00:03:44.29\00:03:47.99
there was a plan in
place to save humanity.
00:03:48.02\00:03:51.59
In the event that a
wrong decision would be made
00:03:51.63\00:03:54.96
and God is never the kind
00:03:55.00\00:03:57.10
that wants to put a fire
extinguisher in the building
00:03:57.13\00:03:59.13
after the fire starts,
00:03:59.17\00:04:00.50
if we can do
that before the fire,
00:04:00.54\00:04:02.40
do you think that heaven could
not think that ahead of us?
00:04:02.44\00:04:05.67
There was a plan in
place to save humanity
00:04:05.71\00:04:07.88
in the event that a
wrong decision would be made
00:04:07.91\00:04:11.15
and praise the Lord today,
00:04:11.18\00:04:12.51
the everlasting gospel says
that regardless of who you are,
00:04:12.55\00:04:17.05
where you're from
and what you've done,
00:04:17.09\00:04:19.19
nobody's going to be
lost because they sinned,
00:04:19.22\00:04:21.99
but they will be lost
because they did not repent
00:04:22.02\00:04:24.73
and were not converted and
did not accept Jesus Christ.
00:04:24.76\00:04:27.66
So, let's look at that
00:04:27.70\00:04:29.03
in the context of
Revelation 14 verse 6.
00:04:29.06\00:04:31.17
Beautiful...
00:04:31.20\00:04:32.53
"Then I saw another angel
flying in the midst of heaven,
00:04:32.57\00:04:38.27
having the everlasting gospel
00:04:38.31\00:04:40.48
to preach to those who
dwell on the earth... "
00:04:40.51\00:04:45.01
notice the extent...
00:04:45.05\00:04:46.48
"to every nation,
tribe, tongue, and people. "
00:04:46.51\00:04:50.09
Panel: Yes.
00:04:50.12\00:04:51.45
Lomacang: You know, when
I worked on the message...
00:04:51.49\00:04:52.82
the book... The Three
Angels' Messages and Summary,
00:04:52.85\00:04:54.56
one of the things I took on
was to break down the components
00:04:54.59\00:04:58.19
of Revelation 14 verse 6,
00:04:58.23\00:04:59.69
"I saw another angel... "
00:04:59.73\00:05:01.16
Now, for those of you that
have never read Revelation,
00:05:01.20\00:05:03.57
and I want to assume
that somebody in the audience
00:05:03.60\00:05:05.97
probably were told,
"Don't read Revelation,
00:05:06.00\00:05:08.20
it can't be understood. "
00:05:08.24\00:05:09.57
Well, that's not true.
00:05:09.60\00:05:10.94
Revelation is the last
piece of this drama of sin
00:05:10.97\00:05:15.11
against salvation...
00:05:15.14\00:05:16.88
this drama against
truth... against error
00:05:16.91\00:05:20.75
or light against darkness...
00:05:20.82\00:05:22.32
or darkness against
light, I should say,
00:05:22.35\00:05:23.92
or... or Satan against Christ.
00:05:23.95\00:05:26.05
It is the final sentence
00:05:26.09\00:05:28.29
and the book is so
very impertinent...
00:05:28.32\00:05:30.83
it's so pertinent... sorry...
00:05:30.89\00:05:32.59
is that it reminds us how
the story is going to end.
00:05:32.63\00:05:36.63
But the beauty of the gospel
is the Lord does not decide...
00:05:36.67\00:05:39.97
"Well, I just want to
save a select group... "
00:05:40.00\00:05:42.44
No... we are
reminded... "to every nation...
00:05:42.47\00:05:44.87
every kindred...
00:05:44.91\00:05:46.31
every tongue... every people.
00:05:46.37\00:05:48.14
because Romans 3 verse 23 says,
00:05:48.21\00:05:49.94
"For all have sinned
and have fallen short
00:05:49.98\00:05:52.38
of the glory of God... "
00:05:52.41\00:05:53.75
and we know that the
gospel communicated to us
00:05:53.78\00:05:57.09
is not one that's a
unique gospel in that...
00:05:57.12\00:06:00.56
"Well... the Jews are saved
and everybody else is lost. "
00:06:00.59\00:06:02.82
No...
00:06:02.86\00:06:04.19
if you are human, you
are under the same curse.
00:06:04.23\00:06:06.56
"As in Adam, all die...
00:06:06.59\00:06:07.93
even so in Christ all
shall be made alive. "
00:06:07.96\00:06:10.20
1st Corinthians 15 verse 22.
00:06:10.27\00:06:12.23
But the introduction
that Pastor Finley put
00:06:12.27\00:06:15.14
and I appreciate it so much...
00:06:15.17\00:06:16.50
haven't you
enjoyed Pastor Finley?
00:06:16.54\00:06:18.77
Panel: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:06:18.81\00:06:20.14
Lomacang: When you get
to know him as a man of God,
00:06:20.18\00:06:21.51
he and his wife
Teenie... you understand that
00:06:21.54\00:06:23.31
this is the result of many
years of dedicated commitment
00:06:23.35\00:06:27.68
to the Word of God.
00:06:27.72\00:06:29.05
Listen carefully, he says,
00:06:29.08\00:06:30.55
"Throughout the centuries,
00:06:30.59\00:06:32.35
the chanting of the
Shema... name of the prayer,
00:06:32.39\00:06:36.36
based on the
Hebrew word 'to hear'
00:06:36.39\00:06:38.99
reminded the Jews
of the spiritual vision
00:06:39.03\00:06:41.56
that united them as a people
00:06:41.60\00:06:43.87
and that
strengthened their resolve
00:06:43.90\00:06:46.37
to maintain
their unique identity
00:06:46.40\00:06:49.10
as worshipers of
the one true God. "
00:06:49.14\00:06:51.74
Now, there were other nations
surrounding the Jewish nation
00:06:51.77\00:06:54.41
but God had given
them a specific function
00:06:54.44\00:06:56.75
to carry the
gospel to everyone...
00:06:56.78\00:06:58.31
to all the nations...
00:06:58.35\00:06:59.68
as... let's go
to Acts chapter 13,
00:06:59.71\00:07:01.42
let's look at that very quickly.
00:07:01.45\00:07:03.12
Acts chapter 13...
00:07:03.15\00:07:04.75
the Apostle
Paul... Paul and Barnabas
00:07:04.79\00:07:07.46
in the city of Antioch,
00:07:07.49\00:07:08.82
reiterated the purpose
for which the Lord had chosen
00:07:08.86\00:07:12.16
the Jewish nation.
00:07:12.19\00:07:13.53
Keep in mind... and I
say this in the context,
00:07:13.56\00:07:15.70
the Ten Commandments
are not just for the Jews
00:07:15.73\00:07:18.13
for all have sinned,
00:07:18.17\00:07:19.50
and so, a lot of people say
00:07:19.53\00:07:21.37
the Sabbath is
just for the Jews...
00:07:21.40\00:07:22.74
no, all of us are
under the condemnation of sin
00:07:22.77\00:07:24.94
therefore, all of us
are called to be redeemed
00:07:24.97\00:07:27.24
and to keep the
commandments of God.
00:07:27.28\00:07:28.61
Acts chapter... what
did I say? Panel: 13.
00:07:28.64\00:07:31.11
Lomacang: Acts chapter 13,
00:07:31.15\00:07:32.48
look at verse 42
00:07:32.51\00:07:34.68
and let's start with verse 46
00:07:34.72\00:07:37.95
because that shortens it.
00:07:37.99\00:07:41.19
It says, "Then Paul and
Barnabas grew bold and said,
00:07:41.22\00:07:43.86
'It was necessary
that the word of God
00:07:43.89\00:07:46.53
should be spoken
to you first... "
00:07:46.56\00:07:48.76
Panel: Hmmm...
Lomacang: That was the purpose.
00:07:48.80\00:07:50.37
"But since you reject it,
00:07:50.40\00:07:52.43
and judge yourselves
unworthy of everlasting life,
00:07:52.47\00:07:55.54
behold, we turn
to the Gentiles. "
00:07:55.57\00:07:58.34
And so, in the context
of the everlasting gospel,
00:07:58.37\00:08:02.04
God made the Jewish
nation FedEx... UPS...
00:08:02.08\00:08:06.92
to get that gospel out to
disseminate it to the world
00:08:06.95\00:08:10.19
but they
thought themselves as...
00:08:10.22\00:08:11.85
we're the only ones
that are worthy of it.
00:08:11.89\00:08:13.49
But that's not the case.
00:08:13.52\00:08:15.56
Listen to the
continued introduction.
00:08:15.59\00:08:16.93
"For Seventh-day Adventists,
00:08:16.96\00:08:18.49
the three angels
messages of Revelation 14
00:08:18.53\00:08:21.03
are our Shema... "
our prayer language.
00:08:21.06\00:08:23.47
"They are our
identifying statement of faith.
00:08:23.50\00:08:26.90
They define who
we are as a people
00:08:26.94\00:08:29.04
and describe our
mission to the world.
00:08:29.07\00:08:31.54
In short, our
unique prophetic identity
00:08:31.57\00:08:33.98
is outlined in Revelation
14 verses 6 to 12... "
00:08:34.01\00:08:36.31
the three angels'
messages... all three of them
00:08:36.34\00:08:38.61
and believe me, they are potent,
00:08:38.65\00:08:40.75
relevant and
necessary to understand
00:08:40.82\00:08:42.68
in the closing
hours of earth's history.
00:08:42.72\00:08:44.52
He says, "And it is
here that we find our passion
00:08:44.55\00:08:48.36
to proclaim the
gospel to the world. "
00:08:48.39\00:08:50.63
And then he
introduces the Lesson,
00:08:50.66\00:08:52.93
"In this week's
lesson, we will begin
00:08:52.96\00:08:55.16
a detailed study of
Revelation 14 verses 6 to 12,
00:08:55.23\00:08:58.83
but will do so
through the eyes of grace
00:08:58.87\00:09:01.57
as we listen to God
speaking to our hearts. "
00:09:01.60\00:09:04.57
And Sunday... this is
the introduction to Sunday,
00:09:04.61\00:09:07.54
"When most people think about
00:09:07.58\00:09:08.91
the Bible's last
book, Revelation,
00:09:08.94\00:09:11.18
they do not think
about God's grace.
00:09:11.21\00:09:13.42
When they consider
God's last-day message,
00:09:13.45\00:09:16.42
their thoughts
often turn immediately
00:09:16.45\00:09:18.65
to frightening
beasts, mystic symbols,
00:09:18.69\00:09:20.86
and strange images.
00:09:20.89\00:09:22.22
The book of Revelation scares
as many people as it reassures,
00:09:22.26\00:09:26.59
which is unfortunate
00:09:26.63\00:09:28.46
because it is
indeed, saturated with grace
00:09:28.53\00:09:32.03
and filled with hope.
00:09:32.07\00:09:33.40
That is, even amid the
scary beasts and warnings
00:09:33.44\00:09:37.57
of persecution and
the hard times ahead,
00:09:37.61\00:09:40.08
God still gives us reasons
to rejoice in His salvation. "
00:09:40.11\00:09:45.31
Amen. Panel: Amen.
00:09:45.35\00:09:46.68
Lomacang: Let's look at the
first blessing of Revelation,
00:09:46.72\00:09:48.42
Revelation 1 verses 1
to 3, let's look at this.
00:09:48.45\00:09:51.09
The focal point is
brought out right away.
00:09:51.12\00:09:53.56
Revelation 1 verses 1 to 3,
00:09:53.59\00:09:55.46
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
00:09:55.49\00:09:57.03
which God gave Him
to show His servants...
00:09:57.09\00:09:59.96
to show to His servants...
00:10:00.00\00:10:01.93
things which must
shortly take place.
00:10:01.96\00:10:04.73
And He sent and signified it by
His angel to His servant John,
00:10:04.77\00:10:08.40
who bore witness
to the word of God,
00:10:08.44\00:10:10.14
and to the
testimony of Jesus Christ,
00:10:10.17\00:10:11.87
to all things that He saw... "
00:10:11.91\00:10:13.64
and look at the blessing...
the first of seven...
00:10:13.68\00:10:16.11
"Blessed is he who reads
00:10:16.14\00:10:17.81
and those who hear the
words of this prophecy,
00:10:17.88\00:10:19.71
and keep those things
which are written in it;
00:10:19.75\00:10:21.58
for the time is at hand. "
00:10:21.62\00:10:23.62
So, when you look at
the beauty of Revelation,
00:10:23.65\00:10:26.42
the blessing... the very
first of seven blessings,
00:10:26.45\00:10:29.16
you know, we talked about seven
churches... seven angels...
00:10:29.19\00:10:31.13
seven plagues...
00:10:31.16\00:10:32.49
seven spirits...
00:10:32.53\00:10:33.86
seven trumpets...
00:10:33.90\00:10:35.23
but there's a hidden
component in Revelation
00:10:35.26\00:10:36.60
called the seven blessings
00:10:36.63\00:10:37.97
and this is the very first one.
00:10:38.00\00:10:39.83
You know, some
of the other ones...
00:10:39.90\00:10:41.54
blessed is he that
keepeth his garment.
00:10:41.57\00:10:43.74
That's another one
of the seven blessings.
00:10:43.77\00:10:45.91
But, what's the question?
00:10:45.94\00:10:48.31
Here is what Pastor Finley
poses to you as our audience:
00:10:48.34\00:10:51.48
How do these verses together
00:10:51.51\00:10:53.78
tell us about not
just the book of Revelation
00:10:53.82\00:10:56.28
but about the
"everlasting gospel," as well?
00:10:56.32\00:10:58.72
Here are my quick takeaways,
00:10:58.75\00:11:00.66
Revelation is all about Jesus.
00:11:00.69\00:11:02.52
Panel: Yes.
00:11:02.56\00:11:03.89
Lomacang: In it His
message to His people
00:11:03.93\00:11:06.76
is especially applicable to
to His church in the last days.
00:11:06.80\00:11:11.80
So, not only is the
gospel to go to the whole world,
00:11:11.83\00:11:14.40
but the church is to proclaim
that gospel to the whole world,
00:11:14.44\00:11:18.61
Matthew 24:14, "And
this gospel of the kingdom"
00:11:18.64\00:11:21.88
what gospel?
00:11:21.91\00:11:23.24
The everlasting gospel.
00:11:23.28\00:11:24.61
What is that?
00:11:24.65\00:11:25.98
Ephesians 2 verses 8 and 9,
00:11:26.01\00:11:27.35
"For by grace are
you saved through faith,
00:11:27.38\00:11:29.35
and that not of yourselves;
00:11:29.38\00:11:30.72
it is the gift of God,
00:11:30.75\00:11:32.09
not of works, lest
anyone should boast. "
00:11:32.12\00:11:34.39
Now, let me make it very clear,
00:11:34.42\00:11:35.92
We're not saved by
grace plus works...
00:11:35.96\00:11:38.56
we're saved by grace
through faith for good works.
00:11:38.59\00:11:42.06
Works don't save us
00:11:42.10\00:11:43.60
but salvation without
works is like James says,
00:11:43.63\00:11:46.23
"Faith without works is dead. "
00:11:46.27\00:11:48.04
The evidence of our salvation
00:11:48.07\00:11:49.80
is that we want
to work for the Lord,
00:11:49.84\00:11:52.17
but don't put
works before salvation...
00:11:52.21\00:11:54.48
the work of salvation is
not carried out by Christ alone,
00:11:54.51\00:11:58.15
that's justification,
00:11:58.18\00:11:59.58
but in the sanctifying
process, we must participate.
00:11:59.61\00:12:03.85
The Lord never forces us
00:12:03.89\00:12:05.22
to become what we do
not desire to become.
00:12:05.25\00:12:08.22
The other part is: Revelation
is a grace-filled message
00:12:08.26\00:12:11.33
of our end-time hope.
00:12:11.36\00:12:12.99
Through the book, Christ
is described as the Lamb slain
00:12:13.03\00:12:16.40
and finally, a blessing is
promised to those who read,
00:12:16.43\00:12:20.04
understand and act on the
truth that is revealed in it.
00:12:20.07\00:12:23.61
Look at
Revelation 1 verses 5 and 6,
00:12:23.64\00:12:25.71
"and from Jesus Christ,
the faithful witness... "
00:12:25.77\00:12:29.98
what kind of witness?
00:12:30.01\00:12:31.35
Panel: Faithful...
Lomacang: Faithful witness,
00:12:31.38\00:12:32.75
"the firstborn
from the dead... "
00:12:32.78\00:12:34.12
that is... the
firstborn who conquered death.
00:12:34.15\00:12:37.29
Panel: Hmmm...
00:12:37.32\00:12:38.65
Lomacang: He's the one
that conquered death...
00:12:38.69\00:12:40.22
"and the ruler over
the kings of the earth.
00:12:40.26\00:12:42.69
To Him who loved us
and washed us from our sins
00:12:42.72\00:12:45.16
in His own blood... "
00:12:45.19\00:12:46.76
and I love this...
00:12:46.80\00:12:48.26
"and has made us
kings and priests
00:12:48.30\00:12:50.60
to His God and Father,
00:12:50.63\00:12:52.43
to Him be glory and
dominion forever and ever. "
00:12:52.47\00:12:55.90
So, let me summarize it again,
00:12:55.97\00:12:57.81
In Christ, we are forgiven.
00:12:57.84\00:12:59.44
That's the everlasting gospel.
00:12:59.47\00:13:01.04
Panel: That's right.
00:13:01.08\00:13:02.41
Lomacang: Grace pardons our past
00:13:02.44\00:13:04.45
and gives us strength for
the process of sanctification.
00:13:04.48\00:13:08.62
Panel: Good.
00:13:08.65\00:13:09.98
Lomacang: Salvation
and powers are present
00:13:10.02\00:13:12.62
and provides
hope for our future.
00:13:12.65\00:13:15.09
That is... in Christ,
00:13:15.12\00:13:16.99
we are delivered
from the penalty of sin.
00:13:17.03\00:13:20.90
That's justification.
00:13:20.93\00:13:22.30
But also, we are empowered for
victory over the power of sin.
00:13:22.33\00:13:27.20
Justification... singular act...
00:13:27.24\00:13:29.50
delivered from the
penalty of sin immediately
00:13:29.54\00:13:33.48
but daily we are being delivered
from the power of sin...
00:13:33.51\00:13:36.04
Sanctification...
00:13:36.08\00:13:37.41
and, we will be in His
image to have eternal victory
00:13:37.45\00:13:41.32
over the presence of sin.
00:13:41.35\00:13:42.68
Remember those three "P's"
00:13:42.72\00:13:44.05
immediate
deliverance from the penalty...
00:13:44.09\00:13:46.05
daily
deliverance from the power...
00:13:46.09\00:13:48.36
and eternal
deliverance from the presence.
00:13:48.39\00:13:51.16
That is the power of
the everlasting gospel
00:13:51.19\00:13:53.90
and such as it is in the
words of the Apostle Paul,
00:13:53.93\00:13:56.80
1st Corinthians 15 verse 57,
00:13:56.83\00:13:58.47
how do we get the victory?
00:13:58.50\00:13:59.97
"But thanks be to God,
00:14:00.00\00:14:01.40
who gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ. "
00:14:01.44\00:14:05.51
And how so?
Revelation 12 verse 11,
00:14:05.54\00:14:08.28
"And they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb
00:14:08.31\00:14:11.91
and by the word
of their testimony,
00:14:11.95\00:14:14.02
and they did not love
their lives to the death. "
00:14:14.05\00:14:16.85
Jill: Amen, thank
you so much Pastor John,
00:14:16.89\00:14:19.49
you were always
looking at my notes
00:14:19.52\00:14:21.52
because I'm picking up
right where you left off...
00:14:21.56\00:14:24.03
I love that.
00:14:24.06\00:14:25.39
On Monday, we look at
the everlasting gospel.
00:14:25.43\00:14:28.23
Thank you Shelley
for this assignment,
00:14:28.26\00:14:29.90
I'm very... I like this one.
00:14:29.93\00:14:31.27
I'm Jill Morikone, I
guess I need to give my name.
00:14:31.30\00:14:34.84
We're looking at
Revelation chapter 14 verse 6,
00:14:34.90\00:14:38.44
Revelation 14:6... you read it,
00:14:38.47\00:14:40.11
we're going to read it again.
00:14:40.14\00:14:41.71
We're focused on two
words in this passage.
00:14:41.74\00:14:45.25
"Then I saw another angel
flying in the midst of heaven,
00:14:45.28\00:14:47.92
having the everlasting gospel
00:14:47.95\00:14:51.12
to preach to those
who dwell on the earth...
00:14:51.15\00:14:53.39
to every nation,
tribe, tongue and people. "
00:14:53.42\00:14:55.62
What is that everlasting gospel?
00:14:55.66\00:14:59.16
Is the everlasting gospel for
those who are cowering in sin?
00:14:59.19\00:15:03.47
Those stained and polluted
with no way to get clean?
00:15:03.50\00:15:07.57
Yes, it is.
00:15:07.60\00:15:08.94
Is the everlasting
gospel for those who struggle
00:15:08.97\00:15:12.11
with addiction...
trapped under the power of sin?
00:15:12.14\00:15:15.74
Yes, it is.
00:15:15.78\00:15:18.01
Is the everlasting gospel
00:15:18.05\00:15:19.38
for those tired of the
world of sin that we live in
00:15:19.41\00:15:22.62
and want to be free
from sin's presence?
00:15:22.65\00:15:27.52
Yes, it is.
00:15:27.56\00:15:28.89
There are many definitions
of the everlasting gospel
00:15:28.92\00:15:30.83
but I'm looking at the
three that you ended with.
00:15:30.86\00:15:33.23
The everlasting gospel is
freedom from the penalty of sin.
00:15:33.26\00:15:38.00
That's justification.
00:15:38.03\00:15:39.53
That's forgiveness of sins.
00:15:39.57\00:15:42.00
It is freedom... it is pow...
00:15:42.04\00:15:44.67
freedom from the power of sin.
00:15:44.74\00:15:47.34
That's sanctification
00:15:47.38\00:15:49.34
and victory over sin
00:15:49.38\00:15:51.28
and it's freedom
from the presence of sin
00:15:51.31\00:15:54.22
as Pastor John just explained.
00:15:54.25\00:15:56.05
That's glorification or
the final eradication of sin.
00:15:56.08\00:16:00.52
You know, there's a
danger of separating the gospel.
00:16:00.56\00:16:04.49
Some people say,
"All the gospel is
00:16:04.56\00:16:07.40
is freedom from
the penalty of sin.
00:16:07.43\00:16:10.37
We don't worry
about anything else,
00:16:10.40\00:16:11.93
the only thing
that we have to focus on
00:16:11.97\00:16:13.87
is freedom from
the penalty of sin. "
00:16:13.90\00:16:15.77
And you know what?
00:16:15.80\00:16:17.14
That saves us...
00:16:17.17\00:16:18.51
the blood of Jesus
cleanses us from all sin.
00:16:18.54\00:16:22.94
So, works... this
freedom from the power of sin...
00:16:22.98\00:16:26.38
that doesn't add
to our salvation.
00:16:26.41\00:16:28.72
We are saved by
the blood of Jesus.
00:16:28.75\00:16:30.72
Think about the
thief on the cross.
00:16:30.79\00:16:32.72
What happened to him?
00:16:32.75\00:16:34.42
And that moment when he
accepted the dying Messiah Jesus
00:16:34.46\00:16:40.36
hanging on the cross
next to him as His Savior,
00:16:40.40\00:16:43.73
he asked for forgiveness from
those sins... he was justified.
00:16:43.77\00:16:47.80
There is nothing salvific
that you can add to that process
00:16:47.84\00:16:51.84
and when he died,
00:16:51.87\00:16:53.21
he had no opportunity to walk
out the sanctification process,
00:16:53.24\00:16:56.58
we know that He
will be in heaven.
00:16:56.61\00:16:59.71
But yet, some denominations
00:16:59.75\00:17:03.42
and some even
within our own church,
00:17:03.45\00:17:05.72
stay in this
process of justification.
00:17:05.75\00:17:07.96
The only thing we focus on is
freedom from the penalty of sin.
00:17:07.99\00:17:12.49
We never experience
freedom from the power of sin.
00:17:12.53\00:17:15.66
We say, "Jesus saved
me by grace through faith.
00:17:15.70\00:17:19.20
All that matters is
that we love other people...
00:17:19.23\00:17:22.70
all that matters is
that we're forgiven... "
00:17:22.74\00:17:25.34
and we lose sight
that God loves us so much
00:17:25.37\00:17:27.91
that He doesn't want us
to stay the way He found us.
00:17:27.94\00:17:30.25
He wants to
change us into His image.
00:17:30.28\00:17:33.31
Some people strive to
live free from the power of sin
00:17:33.35\00:17:39.15
without ever experiencing
freedom from the penalty of sin.
00:17:39.19\00:17:41.49
Panel: Hmmm...
00:17:41.52\00:17:42.86
Jill: I know what that was like.
00:17:42.89\00:17:44.59
I spent years of my experience
00:17:44.63\00:17:46.63
not having freedom
from the power of sin
00:17:46.66\00:17:49.03
but striving for
freedom from the power of sin...
00:17:49.06\00:17:52.90
trying harder...
gritting my teeth...
00:17:52.93\00:17:55.07
seeking perfection
without ever understanding
00:17:55.10\00:17:59.07
that first I had to be
free from the penalty of sin
00:17:59.11\00:18:02.11
and then, when
I discovered that,
00:18:02.14\00:18:03.48
when I discovered the
blood of Jesus covers me
00:18:03.51\00:18:05.08
and His righteousness...
00:18:05.11\00:18:06.82
the pendulum swung
the other way for a bit
00:18:06.85\00:18:09.62
and all I focused on
00:18:09.68\00:18:11.05
was this freedom
from the penalty of sin
00:18:11.12\00:18:13.29
and I forgot that not only
are we free from sin's penalty
00:18:13.32\00:18:17.76
but we also have to
walk in newness of life.
00:18:17.79\00:18:21.00
You see, the gospel
is all three components.
00:18:21.03\00:18:24.20
The everlasting gospel is
freedom from the penalty of sin,
00:18:24.23\00:18:28.00
yes, but it's also
freedom from the power of sin
00:18:28.04\00:18:30.84
and finally freedom
from the presence of sin.
00:18:30.87\00:18:33.64
So, let's talk about it,
00:18:33.68\00:18:35.64
let's talk about the
freedom from the penalty of sin.
00:18:35.71\00:18:39.68
What is the penalty of sin?
00:18:39.71\00:18:41.95
The wages of sin is death.
00:18:41.98\00:18:43.45
The penalty of is death
00:18:43.49\00:18:44.89
but the gift of
God is eternal life
00:18:44.92\00:18:47.32
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
00:18:47.36\00:18:49.69
How was the penalty paid?
00:18:49.72\00:18:52.29
You might be
saying, "My sins are many
00:18:52.33\00:18:55.00
and I don't know
how to get under...
00:18:55.06\00:18:57.70
from the weight of these sins. "
00:18:57.73\00:18:59.07
The penalty was paid
by the blood of Jesus.
00:18:59.10\00:19:01.80
There are so many
verses to this effect
00:19:01.84\00:19:05.07
but I think of
1st Peter 1 verse 19,
00:19:05.11\00:19:08.31
We were redeemed, Shelley,
00:19:08.34\00:19:09.68
with the
precious blood of Christ.
00:19:09.71\00:19:12.21
"As of a lamb without
blemish and without spot. "
00:19:12.25\00:19:16.89
Jesus paid our
penalty on the cross
00:19:16.92\00:19:20.26
so that you and I could go free.
00:19:20.29\00:19:23.59
It's Romans 3...
Romans 3 verses 23 to 26,
00:19:23.63\00:19:27.20
I love this and
Ephesians 2:8 through 10.
00:19:27.23\00:19:30.73
To me, they're some of
the most powerful statements
00:19:30.77\00:19:33.40
of justification and
righteousness by faith.
00:19:33.44\00:19:36.24
If... Romans 3...
00:19:36.27\00:19:37.81
Romans 3 verse 23...
"All have sinned... "
00:19:37.84\00:19:40.61
we're all under
the penalty of sin.
00:19:40.64\00:19:43.21
All have sinned...
00:19:43.24\00:19:46.72
all have fallen
short of the glory of God
00:19:46.75\00:19:48.08
and verse 24... Romans 3:24,
00:19:48.12\00:19:50.32
"Being justified... " there's
that word... justified...
00:19:50.35\00:19:54.22
made right...
00:19:54.26\00:19:56.46
brought back into
right relationship with God.
00:19:56.49\00:19:58.19
How?
00:19:58.23\00:19:59.56
"By His grace
through the redemption
00:19:59.59\00:20:01.03
that is in Christ Jesus. "
00:20:01.06\00:20:03.30
The blood of Jesus
cleanses you and I from all sin.
00:20:03.33\00:20:07.50
"Who God set forth
as a propitiation...
00:20:07.54\00:20:10.94
He stood in my place...
00:20:10.97\00:20:12.97
His substitutionary
death on the cross
00:20:13.01\00:20:15.78
stood in my place.
00:20:15.81\00:20:17.85
"By His blood through faith,
00:20:17.88\00:20:19.98
to demonstrate His righteousness
00:20:20.02\00:20:22.08
because in His forbearance,
00:20:22.12\00:20:23.45
God passed over the sins
that were previously committed
00:20:23.49\00:20:26.65
to demonstrate at the
present time His righteousness
00:20:26.69\00:20:29.86
that He might be just
00:20:29.89\00:20:31.33
and the justifier of the
one who has faith in Jesus.
00:20:31.36\00:20:34.86
Jesus fulfilled
the claims of the law
00:20:34.90\00:20:37.33
because the
wages of sin is death
00:20:37.37\00:20:39.77
while justifying the sinner
00:20:39.80\00:20:41.70
if we have faith in Him.
00:20:41.74\00:20:43.64
So, how can I be justified?
00:20:43.67\00:20:45.51
Two things.
00:20:45.54\00:20:46.88
Number 1: You just ask
for forgiveness for your sins.
00:20:46.91\00:20:50.28
1st John 1:9... if
we confess our sins,
00:20:50.31\00:20:52.48
He's faithful and
just to forgive us
00:20:52.51\00:20:54.62
and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
00:20:54.65\00:20:56.75
Number 2: You
accept that forgiveness
00:20:56.79\00:21:00.06
and the
righteousness of Jesus by faith.
00:21:00.09\00:21:03.29
Romans 5 verse 1,
00:21:03.32\00:21:06.16
"Having been justified by faith,
00:21:06.19\00:21:09.43
we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:21:09.46\00:21:12.33
Now, that's freedom
from the penalty of sin.
00:21:12.37\00:21:15.07
Let's move to freedom
from the power of sin.
00:21:15.10\00:21:17.74
How do I experience
freedom from the power of sin?
00:21:17.77\00:21:21.24
Now, we can do many verses here,
00:21:21.28\00:21:22.84
but I want to
give you four chapters
00:21:22.88\00:21:26.28
from the book of Romans.
00:21:26.31\00:21:27.65
Number 1: How do I experience
freedom from the power of sin?
00:21:27.68\00:21:31.29
Number 1: you need
the Romans 6 experience.
00:21:31.32\00:21:35.29
The Romans 6
experience is: Surrender.
00:21:35.32\00:21:38.16
Saying "No" to the
old man or woman of sin.
00:21:38.19\00:21:41.16
Putting to death the old life.
00:21:41.20\00:21:44.07
It's surrender...
00:21:44.10\00:21:47.20
the old man of sin
being crucified with Jesus
00:21:47.24\00:21:49.27
and our body of sin
would be done away with.
00:21:49.30\00:21:51.27
It says, "He who has
died has been free from sin. "
00:21:51.31\00:21:54.81
So, the first step in
freedom from the power of sin
00:21:54.84\00:21:58.31
is the Romans 6 experience.
00:21:58.35\00:22:00.52
We just
surrender of my own will...
00:22:00.55\00:22:02.78
my own way to Jesus Christ.
00:22:02.82\00:22:05.39
The second step in
freedom from the power of sin
00:22:05.45\00:22:08.46
is the Romans 8 experience
which I call: Empowerment.
00:22:08.49\00:22:12.56
It's saying "yes" to Jesus.
00:22:12.59\00:22:14.93
It's the
infilling of the Holy Spirit
00:22:14.96\00:22:18.37
in the life of the believer.
00:22:18.40\00:22:19.93
You see, you can say, "Okay,
I'm going to surrender my will,
00:22:19.97\00:22:24.24
I'm going to surrender my way,
00:22:24.27\00:22:25.74
I'm going to put to death
the old person of sin... "
00:22:25.77\00:22:28.21
but you can't do that
without the empowerment
00:22:28.24\00:22:30.68
of the Holy Spirit.
00:22:30.71\00:22:32.15
There is now no condemnation
to those who are in Christ Jesus
00:22:32.18\00:22:37.19
Romans 8 verse 1.
00:22:37.22\00:22:38.89
"who do not walk
according to the flesh,
00:22:38.92\00:22:41.09
but according to the Spirit. "
00:22:41.12\00:22:42.69
In Romans 8 verse 11,
00:22:42.72\00:22:44.26
"If the Spirit of Him who
raised Jesus from the dead
00:22:44.33\00:22:46.96
dwells in you,
00:22:47.00\00:22:48.33
He who raised
Christ from the dead
00:22:48.36\00:22:50.10
will also give life
to your mortal bodies
00:22:50.13\00:22:52.40
through His Spirit
who dwells in you. "
00:22:52.43\00:22:56.17
What does that mean?
00:22:56.20\00:22:57.54
The presence of the Spirit
in the life of the believer,
00:22:57.57\00:23:02.34
subdues the sinful
desires of our bodies.
00:23:02.38\00:23:04.65
Step Number 3 to experience
freedom from the power of sin
00:23:04.68\00:23:08.78
is the Romans 13 experience
00:23:08.82\00:23:11.82
and I call this intentionality.
00:23:11.85\00:23:14.82
It's making no
room for temptation
00:23:14.86\00:23:17.26
and making choices for Christ.
00:23:17.29\00:23:20.13
It's casting off
the works of darkness
00:23:20.16\00:23:22.26
and putting on
the armor of light.
00:23:22.30\00:23:24.50
It's putting on
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:23:24.53\00:23:26.70
and making no provision for
the flesh to fulfill its lust.
00:23:26.74\00:23:30.07
You see, we can have
the Romans 6 experience
00:23:30.11\00:23:32.54
and put to death the
old woman or man of sin.
00:23:32.57\00:23:34.98
We can have the
Romans 8 experience
00:23:35.04\00:23:36.78
and say, "I want to be
filled with the Holy Spirit. "
00:23:36.81\00:23:38.78
But if, for instance,
your struggle is alcohol
00:23:38.81\00:23:41.55
and say, "Okay, I'm
not going to do that,
00:23:41.58\00:23:44.29
but yet I'm
going to work in a bar
00:23:44.32\00:23:45.65
or I'm going to have
alcohol in my home... "
00:23:45.69\00:23:47.36
That is not being intentional
00:23:47.39\00:23:48.89
in the choices
that we make for Christ.
00:23:48.92\00:23:51.89
It is being intentional
00:23:51.93\00:23:54.20
making no room for
temptation in your life.
00:23:54.23\00:23:56.97
And finally, Number 4:
00:23:57.00\00:23:59.10
I call the
Romans 10:17 experience
00:23:59.13\00:24:02.44
which is study the Word of God.
00:24:02.47\00:24:05.74
Make time...
00:24:05.77\00:24:07.14
not only do we put to
death the old life of sin...
00:24:07.18\00:24:09.81
not only do we ask for the
infilling of the Holy Spirit,
00:24:09.84\00:24:12.75
not only do we
make choices for Christ,
00:24:12.78\00:24:15.18
but you and I need to
daily study the Word of God
00:24:15.22\00:24:19.79
because through that,
00:24:19.85\00:24:21.19
we can truly become
empowered to live...
00:24:21.22\00:24:24.13
get freedom
from the power of sin
00:24:24.16\00:24:26.63
and one day coming soon,
00:24:26.66\00:24:28.76
you and I will have freedom
from the presence of sin...
00:24:28.80\00:24:33.23
the hope of the gospel is
eternal life forever with Jesus.
00:24:33.27\00:24:37.74
Revelation 21... there will
be a new heaven and a new earth,
00:24:37.77\00:24:42.18
there will be no more sin.
00:24:42.24\00:24:44.15
We will spend
eternity with Jesus.
00:24:44.18\00:24:45.51
Lomacang: Amen,
thank you Jill, wow!
00:24:45.55\00:24:47.25
I'm waiting to see
what is going to happen
00:24:47.28\00:24:49.32
when Shelley gets loose...
00:24:49.35\00:24:50.69
this is a topic we all
love... the everlasting gospel.
00:24:50.72\00:24:53.46
Don't go away... we'll be right
back in just a few moments.
00:24:53.49\00:24:56.56
Music...

Lomacang: Welcome back to
3ABN Sabbath School Panel.
00:25:30.79\00:25:33.80
We're going to go
to Shelley Quinn...
00:25:33.83\00:25:35.16
The Story of Grace.
00:25:35.20\00:25:36.83
Shelley: Oh, I'm so excited...
once again, I'm Shelley Quinn
00:25:36.87\00:25:40.40
and I just have to say
to you that the entire Bible
00:25:40.44\00:25:45.41
is the story of God's
love... God's righteousness
00:25:45.44\00:25:50.41
and God's grace.
00:25:50.45\00:25:52.05
And that's
something that a lot of people
00:25:52.08\00:25:55.32
fail to see in the Old
Testament but it's there.
00:25:55.35\00:25:59.89
What is grace?
00:25:59.92\00:26:01.26
Grace is the unearned,
undeserved favor of God
00:26:01.29\00:26:05.79
and you know what Paul
said in 2nd Timothy 1:9,
00:26:05.83\00:26:10.27
grace was given
to us in Christ Jesus
00:26:10.30\00:26:14.34
before time began...
00:26:14.37\00:26:17.31
before the world was formed.
00:26:17.37\00:26:21.14
Salvation has
always been by grace
00:26:21.21\00:26:25.11
both the Old
Testament and the New Testament.
00:26:25.15\00:26:27.92
And the three angel's message
00:26:27.95\00:26:31.12
is the most important message,
00:26:31.15\00:26:34.29
this is the
continuation of God's grace...
00:26:34.32\00:26:36.96
the most important message
00:26:36.99\00:26:39.29
that needs to be
going around the world
00:26:39.33\00:26:42.46
and that
foundation of that message
00:26:42.50\00:26:45.57
is the everlasting
gospel of righteousness by faith
00:26:45.60\00:26:51.14
through the substitutionary
death of Jesus Christ
00:26:51.17\00:26:55.91
and through His
intercession as our High Priest.
00:26:55.94\00:27:00.62
Let's read
Revelation 14:6 again,
00:27:00.65\00:27:03.69
"Then I saw another angel
flying in the midst of heaven,
00:27:03.72\00:27:07.69
having the everlasting gospel
00:27:07.72\00:27:10.49
to preach to those
who dwell on the earth...
00:27:10.53\00:27:14.90
to every nation,
tribe, tongue, and people. "
00:27:14.93\00:27:19.30
You cannot understand or accept
00:27:19.33\00:27:24.84
the rest of the
message of the first angel
00:27:24.87\00:27:28.41
or the warnings of
the second and third angel
00:27:28.44\00:27:32.08
if the everlasting
gospel is not the foundation.
00:27:32.11\00:27:36.32
You've got to know what
is the everlasting gospel.
00:27:36.35\00:27:41.22
It is the good news of
the everlasting covenant
00:27:41.26\00:27:46.09
of God for salvation.
00:27:46.13\00:27:47.63
Here is my favorite Scripture,
00:27:47.66\00:27:49.76
I'm going to read
it in its entirety,
00:27:49.80\00:27:52.23
Revelation 13:8,
00:27:52.27\00:27:54.47
it's talking
about the beast power
00:27:54.50\00:27:58.87
and then the one who gives
00:27:58.91\00:28:01.94
the other earth power
00:28:01.98\00:28:05.05
and it says, "All who dwell on
the earth will worship him... "
00:28:05.08\00:28:09.88
the one who sets up
the image to the beast...
00:28:09.92\00:28:12.25
"whose names have not been
written in the Book of Life
00:28:12.29\00:28:17.36
of the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world. "
00:28:17.39\00:28:22.03
In eternity past...
before God created the world,
00:28:22.06\00:28:26.67
God... the
Father, Son, and Spirit
00:28:26.74\00:28:29.84
made a determination...
00:28:29.87\00:28:31.91
one of them
would come to earth...
00:28:31.94\00:28:35.61
become a human
00:28:35.64\00:28:37.58
and pay our
penalty for our sins.
00:28:37.65\00:28:40.38
You know, when God
created us in His image,
00:28:40.42\00:28:44.39
the greatest gift He
ever gave us was free will.
00:28:44.42\00:28:48.32
Now, some people
say, "Why free will?"
00:28:48.36\00:28:50.89
Why... if... if... if
He could foresee possibly
00:28:50.93\00:28:54.30
that we were going to sin,
00:28:54.33\00:28:55.83
why give us free will?
00:28:55.86\00:28:57.30
Because God is
love... 1st John 4:8,
00:28:57.33\00:29:03.04
God is self-sacrificing love.
00:29:03.07\00:29:07.04
1st John 1:5 says
that God is light.
00:29:07.08\00:29:11.51
That is His
character of righteousness
00:29:11.55\00:29:15.95
and a loving, righteous God
00:29:15.98\00:29:18.92
knew that love
could not be forced.
00:29:18.95\00:29:21.39
He created us
00:29:21.42\00:29:22.86
that we would have a reciprocal
love relationship with Him.
00:29:22.89\00:29:27.96
He created us hoping that
as He demonstrated His love...
00:29:28.00\00:29:33.00
His righteousness and His grace,
00:29:33.03\00:29:35.24
we would choose
00:29:35.27\00:29:37.27
to be in an intimate
relationship with Him.
00:29:37.31\00:29:41.41
He knew free
will was risky, yeah,
00:29:41.44\00:29:44.98
but you know what?
00:29:45.01\00:29:46.61
When Adam and Eve sinned,
00:29:46.65\00:29:49.05
when they disobeyed God...
00:29:49.08\00:29:51.39
their spiritual
virginity was lost.
00:29:51.42\00:29:56.62
There was no way
00:29:56.66\00:29:58.43
that they could become
righteous on their own again.
00:29:58.46\00:30:02.40
Fig-leaf aprons weren't
going to cover their sin.
00:30:02.46\00:30:06.43
So, what did God do?
00:30:06.50\00:30:08.20
It's an amazing thing.
00:30:08.24\00:30:09.87
He comes to them in Genesis 3:15
00:30:09.90\00:30:13.07
and He announces
the everlasting gospel.
00:30:13.11\00:30:16.18
He says that the
seed of the woman...
00:30:16.21\00:30:19.21
He's talking about Jesus Christ
the Messiah... the Christ...
00:30:19.25\00:30:23.35
would crush the head of Satan
00:30:23.39\00:30:27.12
but then what He
did was so amazing!
00:30:27.16\00:30:31.03
The next thing He did was...
He made articles... skins...
00:30:31.06\00:30:35.16
coverings for them...
00:30:35.20\00:30:36.67
cloaks for them
00:30:36.73\00:30:38.93
from the skins of
the sacrificed lamb
00:30:38.97\00:30:41.90
and you know what?
00:30:41.94\00:30:43.30
Immediately... as
soon as He did that,
00:30:43.34\00:30:46.88
He put the substitutionary
00:30:46.94\00:30:49.98
sacrificial system in place
00:30:50.01\00:30:52.98
that opened the pathway
to righteousness by faith...
00:30:53.01\00:30:57.35
it pointed to
the coming Messiah.
00:30:57.39\00:31:00.82
Adam... Eve... their son, Abel,
00:31:00.86\00:31:04.29
Enoch, Seth, Enosh, Noah,
00:31:04.33\00:31:08.40
Shem, Job were
all made righteous.
00:31:08.46\00:31:13.10
God calls them: Righteous.
00:31:13.13\00:31:15.60
They couldn't restore
their own righteousness...
00:31:15.64\00:31:19.17
it was righteousness by
faith in the coming Messiah.
00:31:19.21\00:31:22.71
Now, I have to
point out something,
00:31:22.74\00:31:24.71
you are probably familiar
00:31:24.75\00:31:27.45
that Paul calls
Abraham the father of us all.
00:31:27.48\00:31:32.85
In Genesis 15:6,
00:31:32.89\00:31:35.79
it says that
Abraham believed God
00:31:35.82\00:31:40.46
and God counted it
to him as righteousness.
00:31:40.50\00:31:44.53
We don't know how
old he was there...
00:31:44.57\00:31:46.94
somewhere between 75
after God had first...
00:31:47.00\00:31:50.37
or called him from Haran.
00:31:50.41\00:31:55.84
But he was before the
age of 84 because he had...
00:31:55.91\00:31:59.78
he hadn't had Ishmael yet
00:31:59.81\00:32:03.02
but guess what?
00:32:03.05\00:32:04.85
Here he's made
righteous by faith
00:32:04.89\00:32:08.62
and then, in Genesis
17, God comes to Abraham
00:32:08.66\00:32:14.00
and you know what He says?
00:32:14.03\00:32:15.86
This is when Abraham is 99...
00:32:15.93\00:32:17.83
so, this is years after this
00:32:17.87\00:32:19.73
"righteousness by
faith" to your point,
00:32:19.77\00:32:22.30
you can't just be
justified by faith.
00:32:22.34\00:32:25.07
God comes to
Abraham and He says,
00:32:25.11\00:32:27.78
"I'm the Lord God Almighty...
" this is Genesis 17:1,
00:32:27.81\00:32:31.98
"walk before Me
and be blameless. "
00:32:32.01\00:32:34.98
What?
00:32:35.02\00:32:36.82
God has always
expected His people
00:32:36.85\00:32:41.06
to walk in obedience
motivated by love and loyalty.
00:32:41.09\00:32:46.86
Let me tell you something,
00:32:46.90\00:32:48.23
you clearly see
all ten commandments
00:32:48.26\00:32:50.13
in the book of Genesis.
00:32:50.17\00:32:51.97
When God renewed
this everlasting covenant
00:32:52.00\00:32:57.21
with Isaac, you know why He did?
00:32:57.24\00:33:02.28
Genesis 26 verse 5 says,
00:33:02.34\00:33:04.51
"because... "
God's telling Isaac,
00:33:04.55\00:33:08.02
"I'm renewing this
because Abraham obeyed My voice,
00:33:08.05\00:33:11.95
kept My charge
00:33:11.99\00:33:13.32
My commandments... My statutes
00:33:13.36\00:33:15.32
and my laws. "
00:33:15.36\00:33:16.99
See, righteousness by faith
00:33:17.03\00:33:21.23
is a relational term.
00:33:21.26\00:33:23.77
God is righteous...
00:33:23.80\00:33:26.27
the way He relates to
us is by righteousness.
00:33:26.30\00:33:31.17
The way we relate to
Him is by righteousness
00:33:31.21\00:33:35.24
and the goal of the
everlasting covenant
00:33:35.28\00:33:39.31
that was
announced in the Garden,
00:33:39.35\00:33:41.62
ratified in vision with Abraham,
00:33:41.65\00:33:43.85
it's all
throughout the Old Testament
00:33:43.89\00:33:46.39
and then Jesus comes to
renew this everlasting covenant
00:33:46.42\00:33:50.89
and ratify it by His own blood.
00:33:50.93\00:33:53.93
The goal is 2nd
Corinthians 5:21,
00:33:53.96\00:33:56.93
where he says, "He
made Him who knew no sin
00:33:56.97\00:34:00.67
to be sin for us,
00:34:00.70\00:34:02.34
that we might become
the righteousness of God
00:34:02.37\00:34:07.34
in Christ Jesus. "
00:34:07.38\00:34:09.24
So, here is the
point I want to make
00:34:09.28\00:34:12.88
in the short time I have left.
00:34:12.91\00:34:14.42
We are made righteous
to practice righteousness.
00:34:14.45\00:34:18.72
Our destiny is to
become like Jesus.
00:34:18.75\00:34:22.02
Psalm 85:13 says,
00:34:22.06\00:34:24.29
"Righteousness goes before Him,
00:34:24.33\00:34:26.70
and makes His
footsteps our pathway. "
00:34:26.73\00:34:30.77
1st John 2:6 says,
"He who abides in Him
00:34:30.80\00:34:34.80
ought also to walk
just as He walked. "
00:34:34.84\00:34:38.74
1st John 2:29 says, "If
you know He is righteous,
00:34:38.77\00:34:42.68
you know that everyone
who practices righteousness
00:34:42.71\00:34:46.58
is born of Him. "
00:34:46.61\00:34:48.58
And 1st John 3:7 says,
00:34:48.62\00:34:51.45
"Little children,
let no one deceive you.
00:34:51.49\00:34:54.99
He who practices
righteousness is righteous,
00:34:55.02\00:34:58.39
just as He is righteous. "
00:34:58.43\00:34:59.76
Panel: That's right.
00:34:59.79\00:35:01.13
Shelley: I want to
tell you something,
00:35:01.16\00:35:03.33
obedience can
only be done by grace.
00:35:03.37\00:35:06.03
It is God who works in us
00:35:06.07\00:35:09.60
to will and to do
His good pleasure.
00:35:09.64\00:35:11.84
It is God who fills
us with the Holy Spirit.
00:35:11.87\00:35:16.75
Yes, He delivered us...
00:35:16.78\00:35:18.51
justified us...
00:35:18.55\00:35:20.18
declared us not
guilty by the blood of Jesus.
00:35:20.22\00:35:23.35
But the Bible says it
is the blood of Jesus...
00:35:23.39\00:35:26.49
the Holy Spirit
00:35:26.52\00:35:28.06
and the Father who sanctifies us
00:35:28.09\00:35:30.19
and only could we be
delivered from the power of sin
00:35:30.23\00:35:35.46
by the grace of our Lord.
00:35:35.50\00:35:37.53
Panel: Amen... amen.
00:35:37.57\00:35:39.17
Perrin: Thank you, Shelley.
00:35:39.20\00:35:40.54
The story of grace...
00:35:40.57\00:35:41.90
we have the everlasting gospel
00:35:41.94\00:35:44.11
but who is it for?
00:35:44.14\00:35:45.97
Who gets to receive it?
00:35:46.01\00:35:47.58
I'm Daniel Perrin
00:35:47.61\00:35:48.94
and you might be watching
this from your own living room,
00:35:48.98\00:35:52.25
but the title of this Lesson
takes us: Into All the World.
00:35:52.28\00:35:55.65
And I... when I was growing up,
00:35:55.68\00:35:57.75
I went to a school... a
Seventh-day Adventist School
00:35:57.79\00:36:00.19
where every Monday,
00:36:00.22\00:36:01.56
we said the Pledge of
Allegiance to the flag
00:36:01.59\00:36:04.29
and the very last line there...
00:36:04.33\00:36:07.70
"with liberty and
justice for all. "
00:36:07.73\00:36:10.83
Now, whether or not
we as a nation have,
00:36:10.87\00:36:13.94
you know, enacted that,
00:36:13.97\00:36:15.44
we recognize that
liberty that is just for a few
00:36:15.47\00:36:18.91
is not really liberty
00:36:18.94\00:36:20.84
and the same is true spiritually
00:36:20.88\00:36:23.55
that the problem
of sin is universal.
00:36:23.58\00:36:26.55
It spread everywhere
00:36:26.58\00:36:28.02
and if there is
going to be a solution,
00:36:28.08\00:36:29.75
it had better be universal too.
00:36:29.78\00:36:31.55
An old Christmas song says that
00:36:31.59\00:36:33.62
He came to make
the blessing flow
00:36:33.66\00:36:35.62
far as the curse is found.
00:36:35.66\00:36:38.19
Not just part way.
00:36:38.23\00:36:39.56
Titus 2:11 says,
"For the grace of God
00:36:39.59\00:36:42.96
that brings salvation
has appeared to all men. "
00:36:43.00\00:36:47.70
Three-letter word there "All"
00:36:47.74\00:36:49.30
may be among one of the most
important words of the Bible
00:36:49.34\00:36:52.47
that everyone is to receive it
00:36:52.51\00:36:54.38
and lest we think that this
is just a New Testament idea,
00:36:54.41\00:36:58.31
the testaments are united
00:36:58.35\00:36:59.85
and they speak together
here back in Isaiah 45 verse 22,
00:36:59.88\00:37:03.65
God is speaking here saying,
"Look to me and be saved,
00:37:03.69\00:37:07.42
all you ends of the earth
00:37:07.46\00:37:09.89
for I am God, and
there is no other. "
00:37:09.92\00:37:13.50
And God is not
going back on this
00:37:13.53\00:37:15.73
not at this critical and crucial
time where we are right now,
00:37:15.76\00:37:19.57
not with all He has
paid for every life...
00:37:19.63\00:37:22.67
for every soul...
00:37:22.70\00:37:24.04
for every person
00:37:24.07\00:37:25.41
and so, we come to
three cosmic messages
00:37:25.44\00:37:28.91
and they are sent
out flying in mid-heaven.
00:37:28.94\00:37:32.45
If we go back the
chapter before Revelation 14,
00:37:32.48\00:37:36.99
there are two
beasts that we see.
00:37:37.02\00:37:39.45
One that covers the earth
00:37:39.49\00:37:41.62
and one arising from the sea.
00:37:41.66\00:37:44.09
A political and
a religious power
00:37:44.13\00:37:46.46
and they seem
to have it covered.
00:37:46.49\00:37:48.76
They got the land and the sea.
00:37:48.83\00:37:51.33
They got
everything taken care of
00:37:51.37\00:37:53.84
and yet, what we discover
is that God sends His message
00:37:53.87\00:37:57.24
flying in the midst of heaven...
00:37:57.27\00:37:59.27
that the Lord is still
the Lord of the heavens
00:37:59.31\00:38:02.64
and He is Lord
over all the earth
00:38:02.68\00:38:04.95
and so, when Jesus
speaks about the time of the end
00:38:04.98\00:38:08.22
and the things that
we can anticipate...
00:38:08.25\00:38:09.78
things that are coming...
00:38:09.82\00:38:11.69
it says there in Luke 21:28,
00:38:11.75\00:38:13.56
"And when you see these
things about to happen... "
00:38:13.59\00:38:16.29
where do you look?
00:38:16.32\00:38:17.66
"you look up... "
Panel: That's right.
00:38:17.69\00:38:19.03
Perrin: "lift up your heads,
00:38:19.06\00:38:20.40
your redemption draws near... "
00:38:20.43\00:38:21.76
because the...
the good news message
00:38:21.80\00:38:23.33
is something that
will be visible to all.
00:38:23.37\00:38:25.97
Now, people can try to
claim a little bit of earth
00:38:26.03\00:38:28.54
and people do all the time,
00:38:28.57\00:38:30.21
but you can't claim the air.
00:38:30.24\00:38:31.84
Panel: That's right.
00:38:31.87\00:38:33.21
Perrin: The
message in mid-heaven
00:38:33.24\00:38:34.58
disperses through the air,
00:38:34.61\00:38:36.11
it's going to be for everybody.
00:38:36.14\00:38:38.08
Geography is not
a hindrance to God.
00:38:38.11\00:38:40.88
The lines we draw on
maps mean nothing to Him
00:38:40.92\00:38:44.05
as far as stopping
the gospel presentation.
00:38:44.09\00:38:47.16
Everybody is going to
hear this message in some way.
00:38:47.19\00:38:50.09
Now, before Jesus returns,
00:38:50.13\00:38:52.69
the world will be divided.
00:38:52.73\00:38:55.20
Everybody will have a
chance to make a choice.
00:38:55.23\00:38:57.77
There's not going to
be a third group of people
00:38:57.80\00:39:00.27
that didn't have
opportunity to hear...
00:39:00.30\00:39:02.77
to receive the
message in some way.
00:39:02.80\00:39:05.24
This is a big task.
00:39:05.27\00:39:07.24
The world is big.
00:39:07.28\00:39:09.18
This is way bigger than me.
00:39:09.21\00:39:11.11
But have you ever wanted
to be a part of something
00:39:11.15\00:39:14.25
that's bigger than yourself?
00:39:14.28\00:39:15.62
You want to do
something that matters...
00:39:15.65\00:39:17.72
something that's
going to make a difference.
00:39:17.75\00:39:19.75
We talk about leaving a legacy
00:39:19.79\00:39:21.66
of something
that's going to be...
00:39:21.69\00:39:23.43
going to be critical and useful.
00:39:23.46\00:39:25.16
Well, the three
angels... these cosmic messages
00:39:25.19\00:39:28.26
are saying to
us... now is that time...
00:39:28.30\00:39:30.37
this is that time that something
that you can be a part of
00:39:30.40\00:39:33.67
be useful in something that's
going to make a big difference.
00:39:33.70\00:39:36.94
This unites
people with angels...
00:39:36.97\00:39:40.11
with the very message
of God spoken through Jesus
00:39:40.14\00:39:44.28
coming through His prophets.
00:39:44.31\00:39:45.65
The greatest
task ever undertaken
00:39:45.68\00:39:48.02
any building project... any
government project out there
00:39:48.05\00:39:51.35
it's nothing
compared to this here.
00:39:51.39\00:39:53.19
And so, before
Jesus leaves this earth,
00:39:53.22\00:39:55.46
among the last things
he says to His disciples,
00:39:55.49\00:39:57.66
Acts chapter 1 verse 8,
00:39:57.69\00:39:59.73
it says, "But you
shall receive power
00:39:59.76\00:40:02.56
when the Holy
Spirit comes upon you;
00:40:02.60\00:40:05.20
and you shall be
witnesses to me in Jerusalem,
00:40:05.23\00:40:08.74
and in Judea and in Samaria,
00:40:08.80\00:40:11.67
and to all the
ends of the earth. "
00:40:11.74\00:40:14.24
Panel: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:40:14.28\00:40:15.61
Perrin: He says to the disciples
00:40:15.64\00:40:16.98
who had never been more than
a hundred miles from their home.
00:40:17.01\00:40:18.45
How could they even
contemplate and comprehend
00:40:18.48\00:40:21.38
the... the... the size of an
earth 24,000 miles around it...
00:40:21.42\00:40:25.29
its equator
00:40:25.32\00:40:26.65
with a population of
eight billion people and growing
00:40:26.69\00:40:29.16
I don't have a very
big sphere of influence.
00:40:29.19\00:40:32.36
I've been to South America once
00:40:32.39\00:40:33.80
but other than
that, I... I don't travel.
00:40:33.83\00:40:36.20
How... how big is this message?
00:40:36.23\00:40:38.73
Can it ever be done?
00:40:38.77\00:40:40.30
I want you to
know that God thinks...
00:40:40.34\00:40:42.20
God knows this
message can be done.
00:40:42.27\00:40:44.11
He tells us in each of the
gospels, listen to this here,
00:40:44.14\00:40:47.08
Matthew 28:19,
"Therefore go and make disciples
00:40:47.11\00:40:51.25
of all nations... "
00:40:51.28\00:40:52.61
Mark 16:15, "He said to
them, 'Go into all the world
00:40:52.65\00:40:56.95
and preach to every creature. "
00:40:56.99\00:40:58.52
Luke 24 verses 47 and 48,
00:40:58.55\00:41:01.39
"that repentance
and remission of sins
00:41:01.42\00:41:03.99
should be preached in
His name to all nations,
00:41:04.03\00:41:06.43
John 20 and verse 21,
00:41:06.49\00:41:08.50
"As the Father has
sent Me, I also send you. "
00:41:08.56\00:41:13.03
All right, Paul
gets the same message
00:41:13.07\00:41:16.07
there in Acts 26
verses 16 and 17,
00:41:16.10\00:41:19.24
it says, "to
whom I now send you,
00:41:19.27\00:41:22.41
to the Gentiles to
open their eyes... "
00:41:22.44\00:41:24.45
Isaiah 49 verse 6,
00:41:24.48\00:41:26.78
"Is it too small a thing
that You should be My Servant
00:41:26.82\00:41:30.72
to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
00:41:30.75\00:41:32.85
and to restore the
preserved ones of Israel;
00:41:32.92\00:41:35.22
I will also give You as
a light to the Gentiles,
00:41:35.26\00:41:38.16
that You should be My salvation
to the ends of the earth... "
00:41:38.19\00:41:41.83
and then hear this
three angels' message
00:41:41.86\00:41:43.90
to be preached to every
nation and kindred and tongue
00:41:43.93\00:41:47.60
and people...
00:41:47.64\00:41:48.97
there's not very many more
categories perhaps you can use
00:41:49.00\00:41:51.34
but it's covering it all.
00:41:51.37\00:41:53.07
Yes, but how?
00:41:53.14\00:41:54.88
I talked to somebody on
the phone last week that said,
00:41:54.91\00:41:58.15
"Is this even possible?
00:41:58.18\00:41:59.51
You think, I mean,
can we even do this?"
00:41:59.55\00:42:01.88
Sure, there are
difficulties out there.
00:42:01.92\00:42:04.29
97 percent of the
unreached people of the world
00:42:04.32\00:42:07.66
live in what's
called the 10/40 Window.
00:42:07.69\00:42:09.96
10 degrees north... the
40 degrees north latitude...
00:42:09.99\00:42:12.93
an area of the world...
00:42:12.99\00:42:14.33
you could look that up
and figure out what that is.
00:42:14.36\00:42:16.40
Mostly poor... the
biggest unreached cities...
00:42:16.46\00:42:19.03
places where the
message has not been preached
00:42:19.07\00:42:21.57
but I want to share with
you the message will go out
00:42:21.60\00:42:24.27
and here is why.
00:42:24.31\00:42:25.64
Number 1: Along with
the message comes the power
00:42:25.67\00:42:28.58
and it's
through the Holy Spirit.
00:42:28.64\00:42:30.05
Jesus says in John 15:16,
00:42:30.08\00:42:32.38
"You didn't
choose Me, I chose you...
00:42:32.41\00:42:35.05
I appointed you... "
00:42:35.08\00:42:36.42
He takes responsibility
for this message and says,
00:42:36.45\00:42:38.69
"I go along with you. "
00:42:38.72\00:42:40.36
All right, Number 2:
00:42:40.39\00:42:41.99
This is not a task
for Institutions only.
00:42:42.02\00:42:45.29
This is a task for individuals
00:42:45.33\00:42:47.33
and everybody has a
sphere of influence.
00:42:47.40\00:42:50.27
and God may be
talking to you right now
00:42:50.30\00:42:53.17
or some time in the near future
00:42:53.20\00:42:54.84
as our ears are opened saying,
00:42:54.90\00:42:56.47
"Take your sphere of influence
and move it somewhere else.
00:42:56.50\00:42:59.91
Too much light
shining in one place,
00:42:59.94\00:43:02.14
got to go out and spread
your sphere of influence. "
00:43:02.18\00:43:05.51
He tells the... the... His
disciples there in Acts 1:8,
00:43:05.55\00:43:08.65
"Start in Jerusalem...
start with those you know. "
00:43:08.68\00:43:11.75
Who do you know?
00:43:11.79\00:43:13.12
Panel: Hmmm...
00:43:13.15\00:43:14.49
Perrin: Sure, you may not
be able to communicate with
00:43:14.52\00:43:15.86
people over there,
00:43:15.89\00:43:17.23
but you've got
people right here.
00:43:17.26\00:43:18.59
Number 3: We've got
literature that needs to go out,
00:43:18.63\00:43:21.23
the silent witness...
you can't sit in their home
00:43:21.26\00:43:24.30
but as you give out
something, they read it
00:43:24.33\00:43:26.63
and maybe it doesn't
produce fruit right away,
00:43:26.67\00:43:29.17
but as the things
that... that take place
00:43:29.20\00:43:31.64
that are predicted and
prophesied begin to happen,
00:43:31.67\00:43:34.44
that silent witness
begins to move on their minds.
00:43:34.48\00:43:37.25
All right, Radio
and TV literally...
00:43:37.28\00:43:40.88
that's cutting through
the air across languages...
00:43:40.92\00:43:43.69
and we may not be aware of it
00:43:43.72\00:43:45.39
but there are stories of
people hearing this message
00:43:45.42\00:43:47.72
saying, "Ah, my
heart is awakened...
00:43:47.76\00:43:49.52
my mind begins to understand
what God is telling me. "
00:43:49.56\00:43:52.79
And God is working
through these things.
00:43:52.83\00:43:55.13
Digital technologies...
00:43:55.16\00:43:57.17
almost everyone has a phone
00:43:57.20\00:43:59.13
and with the way
this world is going,
00:43:59.17\00:44:01.20
everybody is
going to have a phone
00:44:01.24\00:44:03.27
or something like that
00:44:03.30\00:44:04.64
and I'm not limiting God to
say how He can work around...
00:44:04.67\00:44:07.21
what ways
00:44:07.24\00:44:08.58
but there is the
ability for information
00:44:08.61\00:44:11.31
to be transmitted
00:44:11.35\00:44:12.68
in ways that could not have
been possible in the past...
00:44:12.71\00:44:15.18
and not that God is
reliant upon our technologies,
00:44:15.22\00:44:18.19
but there are
possibilities out there.
00:44:18.22\00:44:20.49
There are long-term
missionaries right now
00:44:20.52\00:44:22.72
expanding into
other countries...
00:44:22.76\00:44:24.59
and this is not just a spur...
00:44:24.63\00:44:26.39
a quick spur of
activity going on...
00:44:26.43\00:44:29.06
spending 20 years
getting to know a language
00:44:29.10\00:44:31.83
and a people-group to
understand their customs
00:44:31.87\00:44:34.54
and God may be
calling you to say,
00:44:34.57\00:44:36.81
"Yes, my sphere influences
to move into a location
00:44:36.84\00:44:39.81
and a place where I
can share with people
00:44:39.87\00:44:42.04
who've never heard it... "
00:44:42.08\00:44:43.41
Paul wanted to go off to Spain
00:44:43.45\00:44:44.78
where nobody had
heard the name of Jesus.
00:44:44.81\00:44:47.45
God is speaking to
people in dreams...
00:44:47.48\00:44:50.09
He has in the past
and He will continue.
00:44:50.12\00:44:52.45
We see that in Acts
chapter 2 and Joel chapter 2.
00:44:52.49\00:44:55.82
In Matthew chapter
20 and verses 1 to 16,
00:44:55.86\00:44:58.86
there is a vineyard owner
00:44:58.89\00:45:00.26
and he goes out and gathers
workers throughout the day,
00:45:00.30\00:45:03.33
and even at the 11th hour...
00:45:03.37\00:45:05.13
right before the
close of the day,
00:45:05.17\00:45:07.14
he is inviting
workers into the vineyard...
00:45:07.17\00:45:09.40
God will call... He is calling
00:45:09.44\00:45:10.87
and if you're watching right now
00:45:10.91\00:45:12.27
and you are one of those
saying, "I'm not trained...
00:45:12.31\00:45:15.04
I've been sitting around,
I haven't learned enough... "
00:45:15.08\00:45:17.78
God is calling a
11th-hour workers,
00:45:17.81\00:45:20.38
and I want to read you
this very quickly here,
00:45:20.42\00:45:21.98
6th volume of the
Testimonies, page 202,
00:45:22.02\00:45:24.59
"As the children
sang in the temple courts,
00:45:24.62\00:45:27.12
'Hosanna blessed is he who
comes in the name of the Lord'
00:45:27.16\00:45:30.86
so, in these last days,
children's voices will be raised
00:45:30.89\00:45:34.43
to give the last message of
warning to a perishing world.
00:45:34.46\00:45:37.97
When heavenly intelligences see
00:45:38.00\00:45:40.20
that men are no longer
permitted to present the truth,
00:45:40.24\00:45:43.64
a Spirit of God will
come upon the children
00:45:43.71\00:45:46.41
and they will do a work in
the proclamation of the truth
00:45:46.44\00:45:49.31
which the older
ones could not do
00:45:49.34\00:45:51.08
because their
way is hedged up. "
00:45:51.11\00:45:52.88
God is working
through one and all
00:45:52.91\00:45:54.65
and may it be you.
00:45:54.68\00:45:56.02
Panel: Amen... amen.
00:45:56.05\00:45:57.39
James: Amen...
that was powerful.
00:45:57.42\00:45:58.79
We're just going to
continue with that theme,
00:45:58.82\00:46:00.46
I have Thursday's Lesson,
my name is James Rafferty,
00:46:00.49\00:46:03.46
and it is
entitled: A Mission Movement.
00:46:03.49\00:46:07.03
We are looking at
Revelation chapter 14 verse 6,
00:46:07.10\00:46:10.10
the everlasting gospel
that's to go into every nation,
00:46:10.13\00:46:12.67
kindred, tongue and people...
00:46:12.73\00:46:14.94
every single one of
them... no one is left out.
00:46:14.97\00:46:18.34
This is a mission movement
and God is in earnest with us,
00:46:18.37\00:46:22.18
He's in earnest
with the entire world
00:46:22.21\00:46:24.31
because He wants
every single person
00:46:24.38\00:46:27.02
to hear the everlasting gospel.
00:46:27.05\00:46:29.15
You know, the
world is filled with
00:46:29.18\00:46:31.25
all kinds of religions today.
00:46:31.29\00:46:33.52
There are 1.3 billion Catholics,
00:46:33.56\00:46:36.16
there are about
a billion Muslims,
00:46:36.19\00:46:38.76
there are 260,000 Orthodox,
00:46:38.79\00:46:41.96
there are about
800,000 Protestants.
00:46:42.00\00:46:44.60
We have billions of religions
just within the Christian realm
00:46:44.63\00:46:48.97
never mind other
religious persuasions
00:46:49.00\00:46:52.37
and God has one specific message
00:46:52.41\00:46:55.34
that's to go to
every single nation,
00:46:55.38\00:46:57.98
every single tongue,
00:46:58.01\00:46:59.35
it is a message that brings down
00:46:59.38\00:47:01.48
what the Bible calls
in Revelation 14 verse 8,
00:47:01.52\00:47:04.35
confusion... confusion about God
00:47:04.39\00:47:05.99
and confusion about salvation.
00:47:06.02\00:47:07.36
It is called: the
everlasting gospel
00:47:07.39\00:47:09.99
and it's a very unique phrase,
00:47:10.03\00:47:11.36
you won't find that phrase,
anywhere else in the Bible.
00:47:11.39\00:47:14.03
It is not in the Old Testament,
00:47:14.10\00:47:15.43
it's not in the New Testament,
00:47:15.46\00:47:17.30
the closest you
can get to it is,
00:47:17.33\00:47:19.67
everlasting
salvation in Isaiah 45
00:47:19.70\00:47:21.97
or in Hebrews chapter
13: everlasting covenant
00:47:22.00\00:47:25.67
which are
basically the same thing
00:47:25.71\00:47:27.94
but God used this
specific phrase for a reason
00:47:27.98\00:47:30.91
because He knew that
God's end-time church
00:47:30.95\00:47:34.22
would be challenged
in the end-time scenario
00:47:34.25\00:47:37.45
to bring these
three cosmic messages
00:47:37.49\00:47:39.75
to all the world.
00:47:39.79\00:47:41.12
He knew we would be
challenged by one specific thing
00:47:41.16\00:47:43.73
that all these other religions
seem to either leave out
00:47:43.76\00:47:46.76
or present
00:47:46.80\00:47:48.13
and that is the idea that
the gospel is everlasting.
00:47:48.16\00:47:51.53
If you go and knock on
someone's door in Indonesia,
00:47:51.57\00:47:55.07
or in the nations of Europe,
00:47:55.10\00:47:57.77
or in South America,
00:47:57.81\00:47:59.17
or Central America,
00:47:59.21\00:48:00.54
or... or Asia...
00:48:00.58\00:48:01.91
or Australia,
00:48:01.94\00:48:03.28
or North America,
00:48:03.31\00:48:04.65
if you go and
knock on their door
00:48:04.68\00:48:06.01
and you introduce them
to this beautiful message
00:48:06.05\00:48:08.05
of the everlasting gospel
00:48:08.08\00:48:09.42
and you start to tell them
00:48:09.45\00:48:10.79
all about how this
gospel leads to a people who
00:48:10.82\00:48:14.06
keep the commandments of God
as well as the faith of Jesus,
00:48:14.09\00:48:17.83
if you start to share with them,
00:48:17.86\00:48:19.29
as we've been
talking about here,
00:48:19.33\00:48:20.66
not only the... the deliverance
from the penalty of sin
00:48:20.70\00:48:24.83
but also from the power of sin,
00:48:24.87\00:48:26.63
to live a sanctified
life in Jesus Christ,
00:48:26.67\00:48:29.80
you start sharing that
00:48:29.84\00:48:31.17
and almost immediately,
you're going to find people
00:48:31.21\00:48:33.24
closing that door
00:48:33.27\00:48:34.68
or you're going to find
people closing those ears,
00:48:34.71\00:48:36.68
you're going to find
people basically saying to you,
00:48:36.75\00:48:38.68
"You know what?
That's Old Covenant. "
00:48:38.71\00:48:40.72
I mean, if they're Protestants,
00:48:40.75\00:48:42.08
if they're Evangelicals...
00:48:42.12\00:48:43.45
if they're into "grace"
00:48:43.49\00:48:44.82
that's Old Covenant.
00:48:44.85\00:48:46.19
"You know, we don't
follow the Law of God.
00:48:46.22\00:48:48.66
We are under grace.
00:48:48.72\00:48:50.23
It's a
dispensation... don't you know?
00:48:50.26\00:48:52.03
It's a dispensation
of the New Covenant...
00:48:52.09\00:48:53.83
we're under grace. "
00:48:53.86\00:48:55.20
And a lot of times, we
as Seventh-day Adventists,
00:48:55.23\00:48:56.90
will respond to that and
say, "Well, wait a minute,
00:48:56.93\00:48:58.77
wait a minute... wait a minute,
00:48:58.80\00:49:00.14
let me prove to you...
00:49:00.17\00:49:01.50
I can prove to you
from the Scriptures
00:49:01.54\00:49:02.97
that the Law is still binding.
00:49:03.00\00:49:04.41
I can prove to you
from the New Testament
00:49:04.44\00:49:06.14
that the Law is still binding.
00:49:06.17\00:49:07.51
I can prove to you that the
Law wasn't just for the Jews,
00:49:07.54\00:49:09.41
I can go back
before there was ever a Jew
00:49:09.44\00:49:11.71
and show that God's
people kept the Law... "
00:49:11.75\00:49:14.02
we reason and we
argue from this perspective,
00:49:14.05\00:49:16.22
but there's another way we
could possibly approach this.
00:49:16.25\00:49:19.49
If someone is
actually responding by saying,
00:49:19.52\00:49:22.59
"You know, we
are into grace now...
00:49:22.62\00:49:24.89
that's the Old Covenant...
00:49:24.93\00:49:26.26
law-keeping is Old Covenant,
00:49:26.29\00:49:27.63
we're under the New Covenant,
00:49:27.66\00:49:29.00
we're saved by grace. "
00:49:29.03\00:49:30.37
We could
actually respond and say,
00:49:30.40\00:49:31.73
"Well, are you
suggesting then there was a time
00:49:31.77\00:49:34.10
when we were saved
by obedience to the law?
00:49:34.14\00:49:36.74
Are you
suggesting there was a time
00:49:36.77\00:49:38.44
when people were
actually saved by law obedience
00:49:38.47\00:49:40.78
but now, since
Jesus... we're saved by grace
00:49:40.81\00:49:43.08
and not by the law?"
00:49:43.11\00:49:44.48
And they might respond and say,
00:49:44.51\00:49:46.51
"Yeah... "
00:49:46.55\00:49:47.88
And you might want
to share with them,
00:49:47.92\00:49:50.09
"Well, if Hebrews
chapter 4 verse 2 says,
00:49:50.12\00:49:52.45
that the gospel was preached
unto them as well as unto us.
00:49:52.49\00:49:55.36
And Galatians
chapter 3 verse 8 says,
00:49:55.39\00:49:58.36
that Abraham had the
gospel preached unto him. "
00:49:58.39\00:50:00.30
Shelley: Amen.
00:50:00.33\00:50:01.66
James: You see, this
is the everlasting gospel.
00:50:01.70\00:50:03.70
It's the only way,
anyone ever has been saved
00:50:03.73\00:50:06.10
or ever will be saved.
00:50:06.13\00:50:07.74
It's the way of salvation.
00:50:07.77\00:50:09.30
Jesus Christ was the
Lamb slain from the foundation
00:50:09.34\00:50:12.01
of the world.
00:50:12.07\00:50:13.41
Old-Testament faithful
look forward to Christ...
00:50:13.44\00:50:15.64
the New-Testament
faithful look back to Christ,
00:50:15.68\00:50:18.38
but everyone's
looking to the cross.
00:50:18.41\00:50:20.12
Everyone's looking to Jesus.
00:50:20.15\00:50:21.82
And so, when you see this
phrase "the everlasting gospel,"
00:50:21.85\00:50:24.95
in the book of
Revelation chapter 14,
00:50:24.99\00:50:27.39
we're being reminded by God
00:50:27.42\00:50:29.52
that God has a specific purpose
00:50:29.56\00:50:32.13
for putting that phrase
right here in the center
00:50:32.16\00:50:35.50
of these three cosmic messages.
00:50:35.56\00:50:38.23
He's seeking to
awaken an understanding
00:50:38.30\00:50:41.04
of the way of salvation
from the very beginning...
00:50:41.10\00:50:43.74
from the
foundation of the world.
00:50:43.77\00:50:45.97
You might ask the question,
00:50:46.01\00:50:47.34
"Well, where's the
gospel in the Old Testament?"
00:50:47.38\00:50:49.61
I understand the
gospel in the New Testament,
00:50:49.64\00:50:51.71
because now we have
the cross, we have Calvary,
00:50:51.75\00:50:53.78
where is the gospel
in the Old Testament?
00:50:53.82\00:50:55.15
Well, it is everywhere,
00:50:55.18\00:50:57.05
the whole
sanctuary service was gospel.
00:50:57.09\00:50:59.05
That whole System
was all about the gospel.
00:50:59.09\00:51:00.99
It was pointing to the Lamb
00:51:01.02\00:51:02.42
to Jesus Christ... the Lamb...
00:51:02.46\00:51:03.83
Adam and Eve sinned
00:51:03.86\00:51:05.19
and immediately you
have the sacrificial system
00:51:05.23\00:51:07.36
put into place.
00:51:07.40\00:51:08.73
You have the animal skins
that came from the sacrifice
00:51:08.76\00:51:10.80
for their sins...
again, pointing to the Lamb
00:51:10.83\00:51:12.73
that was slain from the
foundation of the world.
00:51:12.77\00:51:14.67
In fact, the gospel is found
00:51:14.70\00:51:18.94
in the heart of the
Ten-Commandment Law.
00:51:18.97\00:51:22.14
Panel: Amen.
00:51:22.18\00:51:23.51
Rafferty: If you go
to Exodus chapter 20,
00:51:23.55\00:51:24.88
you're going to find
this in Exodus chapter 20
00:51:24.91\00:51:27.02
verses 1 and 2.
00:51:27.05\00:51:28.58
If you go there and you
read the Ten Commandments,
00:51:28.62\00:51:30.49
you're going to find
that the Ten Commandments
00:51:30.52\00:51:32.32
actually teach
the very same thing
00:51:32.35\00:51:34.66
that we see taught
in the New Testament
00:51:34.69\00:51:37.29
that we keep God's
commandments because we love Him
00:51:37.33\00:51:42.20
and we love Him
because He first loved us.
00:51:42.23\00:51:45.30
Panel: Yes.
00:51:45.33\00:51:46.67
Rafferty: In other
words, it is love that motivates
00:51:46.70\00:51:49.00
obedience to God's commandments.
00:51:49.04\00:51:51.27
God loves us... we love Him
00:51:51.34\00:51:53.51
and if we love Him,
we keep His commandments.
00:51:53.54\00:51:57.45
That's 1st John 4
verse 19 and John 14 verse 15
00:51:57.48\00:52:01.35
and Revelation
chapter 14 verse 12,
00:52:01.38\00:52:04.02
we're not there yet
00:52:04.05\00:52:05.39
but we'll get into
Revelation 14 verse 12
00:52:05.42\00:52:06.76
a little bit later in our study,
00:52:06.79\00:52:08.29
so, you go to the law
of God in Exodus chapter 20
00:52:08.32\00:52:11.36
and you read...
you begin reading
00:52:11.39\00:52:13.26
"I'm the Lord thy God
00:52:13.29\00:52:14.96
which brought thee out
of the land of Egypt...
00:52:15.00\00:52:17.30
out of the house of bondage. "
00:52:17.33\00:52:18.90
And you have to
think to yourself,
00:52:18.93\00:52:20.57
"Well, how did God do that?"
00:52:20.60\00:52:22.24
How did God bring them
out of the house of bondage?
00:52:22.27\00:52:25.47
How does God bring
us out of our bondage?
00:52:25.51\00:52:27.74
How does God
bring us out of our sin?
00:52:27.78\00:52:29.94
How does God bring us
out of the chains of vice?
00:52:29.98\00:52:32.85
How does He deliver us
from the bondage of sin?
00:52:32.88\00:52:35.88
Well, He delivers us
by the blood of the Lamb.
00:52:35.95\00:52:38.92
We overcome by
the blood of the Lamb.
00:52:38.95\00:52:40.29
How did He deliver His
people out of Egyptian bondage?
00:52:40.32\00:52:43.93
Well, He had these plagues
that He sent on the Egyptians
00:52:43.96\00:52:47.60
and when the tenth plague came,
00:52:47.63\00:52:50.00
it was the
death of the firstborn
00:52:50.03\00:52:52.33
and the only way you
could be preserved... delivered
00:52:52.37\00:52:55.80
from the death of the
firstborn was through the...
00:52:55.84\00:52:59.27
blood of the lamb...
00:52:59.31\00:53:02.01
the Passover blood of the lamb.
00:53:02.04\00:53:04.01
The children of Israel
and even believing Egyptians
00:53:04.05\00:53:06.45
had to take a lamb and slay it
00:53:06.48\00:53:08.65
and put the blood on
the doorpost and lintels...
00:53:08.68\00:53:10.59
in other words,
00:53:10.62\00:53:11.95
God's people were delivered
by the blood of the lamb
00:53:11.99\00:53:14.79
in the Old Testament
00:53:14.82\00:53:16.16
just like we're delivered
by the blood of the Lamb
00:53:16.19\00:53:18.93
in the New Testament.
00:53:18.96\00:53:20.30
There's nothing new here
00:53:20.33\00:53:21.66
according to
Revelation 14 verse 6,
00:53:21.70\00:53:23.43
this is the everlasting gospel.
00:53:23.47\00:53:26.37
It's the only way
we've ever been saved
00:53:26.40\00:53:29.80
and as they were delivered
by the blood of the Lamb,
00:53:29.87\00:53:31.94
God delivers them
through the Red Sea...
00:53:31.97\00:53:34.11
takes them out of the wilderness
00:53:34.14\00:53:35.48
that they are at Mount Sinai...
00:53:35.51\00:53:36.85
He thunders with
a... a mighty voice,
00:53:36.88\00:53:38.28
they tremble and fear before Him
and He speaks these ten words
00:53:38.31\00:53:42.02
but before He
speaks these ten words,
00:53:42.05\00:53:44.25
He reminds them of something.
00:53:44.29\00:53:45.65
What does He remind them of?
00:53:45.69\00:53:47.06
His love... His
grace... His deliverance...
00:53:47.09\00:53:50.13
the blood of the Lamb...
00:53:50.16\00:53:51.49
the everlasting covenant...
00:53:51.53\00:53:52.86
the everlasting gospel...
00:53:52.89\00:53:54.23
the everlasting salvation,
00:53:54.26\00:53:55.60
he says, "I'm the Lord your God
00:53:55.63\00:53:57.07
and I brought
you... I delivered you
00:53:57.10\00:53:59.70
by the blood of the Lamb,
00:53:59.73\00:54:01.07
I delivered you out of bondage.
00:54:01.10\00:54:02.44
Therefore, don't have
any other gods before Me
00:54:02.47\00:54:05.61
because the natural
consequence of the gospel
00:54:05.64\00:54:08.81
is obedience to the Law.
00:54:08.84\00:54:10.35
The natural
consequence of the gospel
00:54:10.38\00:54:12.88
is the fruit of obedience.
00:54:12.91\00:54:14.68
That's what comes out of
being saved in Jesus Christ
00:54:14.72\00:54:17.82
and if we're not
saved in Jesus Christ...
00:54:17.85\00:54:20.29
if we're not
keeping the Law of God,
00:54:20.36\00:54:22.76
we're not saved in Jesus Christ
00:54:22.79\00:54:24.43
because in the Old Testament
and in the New Testament,
00:54:24.49\00:54:27.36
in both places,
00:54:27.40\00:54:28.73
Exodus chapter 20
beginning with verse 1,
00:54:28.76\00:54:31.00
and Revelation 14,
beginning with verse 6,
00:54:31.03\00:54:33.47
in both of those places,
00:54:33.50\00:54:34.97
we see a people end up
keeping the commandments of God
00:54:35.00\00:54:38.21
and that... in both places,
that comes out a reminder
00:54:38.24\00:54:41.34
of the everlasting
gospel that God brings to them
00:54:41.41\00:54:44.48
to their notice
00:54:44.51\00:54:45.85
in relationship to
the blood of the Lamb.
00:54:45.88\00:54:48.38
And so, we see
this cosmic message
00:54:48.42\00:54:50.55
that's going to go to all
the world in these last days
00:54:50.59\00:54:53.02
to every nation,
kindred, tongue and people.
00:54:53.05\00:54:54.89
It's going to break
down all of the barriers
00:54:54.92\00:54:56.76
as Mark says...
Mark Finley says here
00:54:56.79\00:54:59.29
in this Lesson,
00:54:59.33\00:55:00.73
he says the preaching
of the everlasting gospel
00:55:00.76\00:55:02.63
leaps across
geographical boundaries.
00:55:02.66\00:55:04.80
It penetrates
earth's remotest areas.
00:55:04.83\00:55:06.87
It reaches people of
every language and every culture
00:55:06.90\00:55:09.47
and eventually, it will
impact the entire world.
00:55:09.50\00:55:12.94
That is the power of
the everlasting gospel.
00:55:12.97\00:55:16.34
The power to deliver God's
people from Egyptian bondage
00:55:16.38\00:55:19.38
is the same power
that God has today
00:55:19.41\00:55:21.35
to deliver us from
whatever bondage we are in.
00:55:21.38\00:55:25.29
Panel: Amen... amen.
00:55:25.35\00:55:27.49
Lomacang: Amen, thank you James.
00:55:27.56\00:55:29.19
Wow! I guess there's a
little extra time, Jill,
00:55:29.22\00:55:32.29
the closing thought
that's on your mind.
00:55:32.33\00:55:34.70
Jill: It's a powerful
study, I just want to remind you
00:55:34.73\00:55:37.60
that the same God who
can forgive us of our sins...
00:55:37.63\00:55:41.00
who can justify us...
that same God can free us
00:55:41.04\00:55:44.37
from the power of sin.
00:55:44.41\00:55:46.07
He works in us and through
us to do His good pleasure
00:55:46.11\00:55:49.71
and He can
sanctify us by His grace.
00:55:49.74\00:55:51.91
Shelley: Amen, you know
the Bible's really clear
00:55:51.95\00:55:55.42
that God keeps covenant
00:55:55.48\00:55:56.95
with those who
keep covenant with Him.
00:55:56.99\00:55:59.92
His covenant is a
covenant of grace.
00:55:59.95\00:56:02.99
We talk about free grace
00:56:03.02\00:56:06.83
but let me... I want you
to consider the cost of grace,
00:56:06.86\00:56:11.63
1st Peter 1:18 through 20,
00:56:11.67\00:56:14.14
"knowing that you were redeemed
not with corruptible things,
00:56:14.17\00:56:18.27
like silver and gold,
00:56:18.31\00:56:19.64
from your aimless
conduct received by tradition
00:56:19.67\00:56:23.61
from your fathers,
00:56:23.65\00:56:25.21
but with the
precious blood of Christ,
00:56:25.25\00:56:27.92
as a lamb without blemish
00:56:27.95\00:56:32.75
and without spot. "
00:56:32.79\00:56:34.86
The spotless Lamb of God
00:56:34.89\00:56:37.76
who takes away
the sins of the world.
00:56:37.79\00:56:41.70
Let me tell you
grace is undeserved
00:56:41.73\00:56:45.57
but don't ever think
of yourself as unworthy
00:56:45.60\00:56:48.94
because you are
worth nothing less
00:56:48.97\00:56:51.87
than the price
that He paid for you
00:56:51.94\00:56:54.84
with His own blood.
00:56:54.88\00:56:56.51
Perrin: You know, when you think
about the scope of the mission
00:56:56.54\00:57:02.08
that stands before us,
00:57:02.12\00:57:03.55
you might say to yourself,
"I... I can't do much. "
00:57:03.59\00:57:06.82
And God is not
calling you to do everything,
00:57:06.86\00:57:09.82
but He's calling you to
say, "I'm available... "
00:57:09.86\00:57:12.79
before the
disciples were told to go,
00:57:12.83\00:57:15.80
they were told to come
00:57:15.86\00:57:17.20
and the coming is to
sit at the feet of Jesus...
00:57:17.23\00:57:20.30
to learn from His Word
00:57:20.34\00:57:21.77
and you could use
this time to make yourself
00:57:21.80\00:57:24.74
available to other
mission organizations.
00:57:24.77\00:57:27.14
I think about
Adventist Frontier Missions...
00:57:27.18\00:57:29.48
Adventist World Radio...
00:57:29.51\00:57:30.85
Gospel Outreach...
00:57:30.88\00:57:32.21
Adventist World
Aviation and others
00:57:32.25\00:57:33.68
and put yourself
on their mailing list
00:57:33.72\00:57:35.42
and say, "I want to
know what's going on
00:57:35.45\00:57:37.12
so that I can pray for it too. "
00:57:37.15\00:57:38.65
Panel: Amen... amen.
00:57:38.69\00:57:40.02
Rafferty: The everlasting gospel
will break down every barrier.
00:57:40.06\00:57:42.89
Our job is to be
lifting up Christ...
00:57:42.92\00:57:45.99
lift Him up before the world...
00:57:46.03\00:57:47.50
allow Him to draw
all people unto Him.
00:57:47.53\00:57:49.66
Lomacang: Thank
you so much everyone
00:57:49.73\00:57:51.80
for disseminating
the everlasting gospel
00:57:51.83\00:57:54.30
that we'll continue to proclaim
00:57:54.34\00:57:55.70
but Paul says it's the mystery
that has been hidden from ages
00:57:55.74\00:57:59.11
and from generations,
00:57:59.14\00:58:00.48
but now has been
revealed to His saints. "
00:58:00.51\00:58:02.84
Colossians 1 verse 26.
00:58:02.91\00:58:05.01
Join us next
time for the Lesson:
00:58:05.05\00:58:07.22
Fear God and give glory to Him
00:58:07.25\00:58:09.38
as we continue in
these three cosmic messages.
00:58:09.42\00:58:12.15
We look forward
to seeing you then.
00:58:12.19\00:58:13.89
