Razor-sharp teeth, deadly venom,
slashing claws, fatal stingers,
00:00:24.99\00:00:32.53
stampeding hooves, stabbing
tusks, it's what nightmares
00:00:32.56\00:00:39.37
are made of. The
thought of a dangerous animal
00:00:39.40\00:00:44.61
stalking, sliding,
crawling, swimming, charging,
00:00:44.64\00:00:48.31
or flying nearby is enough
to bring terror and intense
00:00:48.34\00:00:52.38
fear to the heart of
most people and no wonder
00:00:52.41\00:00:56.45
the prospect of being
fatally attacked by a dangerous
00:00:56.48\00:01:00.76
and deadly animal
is a gruesome one.
00:01:00.79\00:01:03.22
But, do you know which species
are most likely to kill you?
00:01:03.26\00:01:08.03
Just recently we've had
another fatal shark attack.
00:01:08.06\00:01:12.37
So, is it the great white
shark or the king of beasts
00:01:12.40\00:01:16.34
a ferocious lion? What
about a charging elephant?
00:01:16.37\00:01:20.21
A poisonous snake,
or a huge crocodile?
00:01:20.24\00:01:23.75
Well today we're going
to look at seven creatures
00:01:23.78\00:01:27.42
that kill the
most humans each year.
00:01:27.45\00:01:29.78
The world's seven most
shocking deadliest animals,
00:01:29.82\00:01:34.36
but the deadliest of all, the
species at the very top of the
00:01:34.39\00:01:38.73
World's Danger list may
surprise you and shock you.
00:01:38.76\00:01:42.60
Join me on a journey into the
wild in search of the world's
00:01:42.63\00:01:47.67
deadliest and the
message they have for us today.
00:01:47.70\00:01:52.07
We live in a wonderful world
that is full of beauty, charm
00:02:04.92\00:02:10.06
and adventure, there is
no end to the stunning wonder
00:02:10.09\00:02:14.53
and diversity. Dense forests,
open grasslands, treeless
00:02:14.56\00:02:20.64
tundra, sandy deserts, freezing
ice sheets, vast oceans,
00:02:20.67\00:02:25.54
and endless skies,
basically everywhere you look,
00:02:25.57\00:02:30.38
our planet is filled with
beauty but what makes our planet
00:02:30.41\00:02:35.02
truly amazing is that all these
wonderful places are literally
00:02:35.05\00:02:40.16
teaming with life. A
vast array of flora and forma
00:02:40.19\00:02:45.23
it's estimated that there are
around nine million different
00:02:45.26\00:02:49.10
species of plants and animals
in existence on our planet
00:02:49.13\00:02:52.87
and we humans are
attracted to them.
00:02:52.90\00:02:56.34
Some of them might look
cute and cuddly but in fact
00:02:56.37\00:03:01.08
could kill you in mere seconds.
00:03:01.11\00:03:03.98
So, what is the
world's most dangerous animal?
00:03:04.01\00:03:07.78
Which one attacks and
kills the most humans each year?
00:03:07.82\00:03:12.12
Well, here are the
seven deadliest remembering
00:03:12.15\00:03:17.63
that the figures can
change from year to year and
00:03:17.66\00:03:20.93
different lists have differing
criteria and definitions.
00:03:20.96\00:03:24.43
So lists from different sources
disagree and be contentious.
00:03:24.47\00:03:31.37
Coming in at number seven is
the king of the jungle the lion
00:03:31.41\00:03:37.35
as the apex predator in Africa
lions are one of the worlds
00:03:39.01\00:03:42.88
top predators, humans
are not their natural prey
00:03:42.92\00:03:46.25
but each year about 250
people are killed by lions.
00:03:46.29\00:03:50.53
Lions are skilled and powerful
hunters that are able to
00:03:50.56\00:03:54.43
bring down large prey
like buffalo zebra and giraffe.
00:03:54.46\00:03:58.30
A lion's vision is about six
times more sensitive to light
00:03:58.33\00:04:03.07
than humans giving them a
distinct advantage when hunting
00:04:03.10\00:04:07.11
at night. Lions can reach
speeds of up to 80 km per hour
00:04:07.14\00:04:12.31
in short bursts, that's about
twice as fast as the fastest
00:04:12.35\00:04:16.42
Olympic runners. Not only are
lions fast, they can also jump
00:04:16.45\00:04:21.52
up to 12 meters.
00:04:21.56\00:04:22.89
So, it's easy to see why
the lion is referred to as the
00:04:22.92\00:04:27.40
king of the jungle and it's
easy to see why unsuspecting
00:04:27.43\00:04:31.67
and vulnerable humans are
no match for these powerful
00:04:31.70\00:04:36.20
hunters. Coming in at number
six on our deadliest list is the
00:04:36.24\00:04:40.94
fearsome African Cape Buffalo.
00:04:40.98\00:04:42.74
These huge animals are without
doubt one of the most dangerous
00:04:42.78\00:04:48.02
wild animals in the world.
00:04:48.05\00:04:49.38
These aggressive and
unpredictable beasts can weigh
00:04:49.42\00:04:53.62
up to 1.5 tons and can
grow up to 1.7 meters tall
00:04:53.66\00:04:58.06
and 2.7 meters in length. They
have large razor-sharp horns
00:04:58.09\00:05:03.37
that they use to deadly effect
they are fearless and will mob
00:05:03.40\00:05:08.54
any predator that
dares to attack their young.
00:05:08.60\00:05:11.54
Buffalo usually
travel intimidating herds
00:05:11.57\00:05:16.64
sometimes up to 5,000 strong
but are one of the few animals
00:05:16.68\00:05:21.32
that will actively stalk
and kill humans if alone.
00:05:21.35\00:05:24.92
Buffalo killed an
estimated 300 people each year.
00:05:24.95\00:05:30.59
Number five on our list
of dangerous animals is the
00:05:30.63\00:05:34.56
enormous elephant.
00:05:34.60\00:05:35.96
They are the largest
animals walking on the earth.
00:05:36.00\00:05:39.27
These massive creatures
have impressive power and
00:05:39.30\00:05:43.74
lethal strength. They
can stand 3 meters tall and
00:05:43.77\00:05:48.08
weigh up to around seven tons
giving them fatal skull-crushing
00:05:48.11\00:05:52.61
stomping, and trampling
abilities not to mention
00:05:52.65\00:05:56.79
their dagger-like tusks.
00:05:56.82\00:05:58.35
African elephants particularly
older bulls and young males
00:05:58.39\00:06:03.06
can be aggressive
even when not provoked.
00:06:03.09\00:06:06.43
Elephants kill up to 600
people worldwide each year.
00:06:06.46\00:06:11.20
Most fatalities happen
by victims being trampled
00:06:11.23\00:06:15.10
to death. In areas
where poaching still occurs
00:06:15.14\00:06:19.27
and the elephant's habitat
is in danger, the animals are
00:06:19.31\00:06:23.88
much more aggressive.
00:06:23.91\00:06:25.25
Coming in at number four on
our list of deadliest animals
00:06:25.28\00:06:30.85
is the crocodile.
00:06:30.89\00:06:32.55
They are one of the most
well-known and fearsome animals
00:06:32.59\00:06:37.19
in the world and are
considered an apex predator
00:06:37.23\00:06:41.50
their powerful bodies, strong
jaws and immense speed and
00:06:41.53\00:06:45.90
agility along with their
unparalleled stealth makes them
00:06:45.93\00:06:50.17
one of the world's
most dangerous predators.
00:06:50.21\00:06:53.58
The salt-water crocodile
is the largest living reptile
00:06:53.61\00:06:57.91
on earth and can grow
over six meters long and weigh
00:06:57.95\00:07:01.92
over a ton. They have the
strongest bite force in the
00:07:01.95\00:07:05.69
world and are capable
of crunching down with a
00:07:05.72\00:07:09.56
full-weight of a
small pick-up truck.
00:07:09.59\00:07:12.16
They are known for their
ambush hunting technique and are
00:07:12.19\00:07:16.33
indiscriminate killers and will
attack any animal that comes
00:07:16.36\00:07:20.44
within reach and
that includes humans.
00:07:20.47\00:07:23.57
Every year over 1,000
people are killed by crocodiles.
00:07:23.61\00:07:29.04
They submerge themselves
in water waiting for something
00:07:29.08\00:07:33.21
to come near to
the water's edge.
00:07:33.25\00:07:35.18
Their attack usually takes
the form of launching themselves
00:07:35.22\00:07:39.85
from the water with a tremendous
burst of speed and grabbing
00:07:39.89\00:07:43.89
its victim in its jaws. It then
drags them back under the water
00:07:43.93\00:07:48.40
to drown them. Attacks on humans
usually when people are walking
00:07:48.43\00:07:54.30
or working or washing close
to river banks and lake shores
00:07:54.34\00:07:58.11
and when fishermen are getting
in and out of their boats
00:07:58.14\00:08:01.44
or canoes.
00:08:01.48\00:08:02.98
So if you are in crocodile
territory beware of the
00:08:03.01\00:08:07.45
silent assassins that
lurk beneath dark waters.
00:08:07.48\00:08:11.62
Now coming at number three
on our list is the third-largest
00:08:11.65\00:08:16.16
land animal, the hippopotamus.
00:08:16.19\00:08:18.16
Now this is surprising because
they are often seen as being
00:08:18.19\00:08:22.43
quiet and peaceful
creatures but nothing could be
00:08:22.46\00:08:25.97
further from the truth, they
are aggressive and dangerous
00:08:26.00\00:08:30.11
Hippos are the world's
deadliest and large land animal
00:08:30.14\00:08:34.34
and are estimated to kill
over 3,000 people every year.
00:08:34.38\00:08:39.28
Male hippo's fiercely defend
their territories which usually
00:08:39.31\00:08:44.19
includes the banks of rivers
and lakes while female hippos
00:08:44.22\00:08:48.12
can get extremely aggressive
if they sense anything
00:08:48.16\00:08:51.89
getting in between
them and their babies
00:08:51.93\00:08:54.20
who stay in the water
while they feed on the shore.
00:08:54.23\00:08:57.50
Hippos weigh up to 11/2 tons
and can run in speeds of up to
00:08:57.53\00:09:02.60
30 KM an hour. Combine this
with their aggressive nature
00:09:02.64\00:09:07.24
agility in and out of the
water and sharp half-meter
00:09:07.28\00:09:11.38
tusks-like teeth and enormous
jaws and you can understand
00:09:11.41\00:09:16.25
why hippos can be such a
deadly creature to encounter.
00:09:16.28\00:09:20.36
Now we usually tend to think
that large and fierce animals
00:09:20.39\00:09:24.93
like lions, tigers, and bears
are the most dangerous animals
00:09:24.96\00:09:29.50
on the planet.
00:09:29.53\00:09:30.87
So, it's surprising to
find that number two on our list
00:09:30.90\00:09:35.10
of killer creatures is
only a few centimeters long
00:09:35.14\00:09:38.87
small but deadly.
00:09:38.91\00:09:41.11
That's certainly true of
scorpions, just the mention
00:09:41.14\00:09:44.75
of their name strikes terror
in the hearts of many people.
00:09:44.78\00:09:48.55
The venomous sting of a scorpion
can be deadly, these creepy
00:09:48.58\00:09:53.19
crawlies kill over
3,300 people every year.
00:09:53.22\00:09:58.93
There are over 1,500
scorpion species worldwide
00:09:58.96\00:10:03.06
and they all
posess a venomous sting.
00:10:03.10\00:10:06.40
However only about 30 of
them have strong enough poison
00:10:06.43\00:10:10.01
to kill a person.
Scorpion venom packs a punch
00:10:10.04\00:10:14.41
and serves to
paralyze and kill prey rapidly.
00:10:14.44\00:10:18.31
They generally prey on insects
and use their claws or pinchers
00:10:18.35\00:10:23.22
to hold on to their prey to both
sting and eat it effectively.
00:10:23.25\00:10:28.42
Scorpions do not
aggressively pursue humans,
00:10:28.46\00:10:32.49
most scorpion stings
occur when people step on them
00:10:32.53\00:10:36.77
or reach into an area
where a scorpion is hiding.
00:10:36.80\00:10:40.20
Now, we come to number
one on our list of the seven
00:10:40.24\00:10:45.01
deadliest creatures in the
world and that infamous honor
00:10:45.04\00:10:49.21
goes to snakes.
00:10:49.24\00:10:50.95
One of the most feared creatures
on the planet and with good
00:10:50.98\00:10:54.82
reason. Globally around
five million people are bitten
00:10:54.85\00:10:59.12
by snakes each year with
more than 140,000 people dying.
00:10:59.15\00:11:05.36
And for every fatality there
are another three to four people
00:11:05.39\00:11:09.90
permanently disabled or
dis- figured by their injuries.
00:11:09.93\00:11:13.70
There are more than 3,000
species of snakes on the planet
00:11:13.74\00:11:17.64
and the one that kills the most
people is the saw-scaled viper
00:11:17.67\00:11:22.64
that's found in parts of
the Middle East, Central Asia,
00:11:22.68\00:11:26.15
and especially in India.
These vipers are very dangerous
00:11:26.18\00:11:31.02
and have an extremely potent
Toxic Venom Saw Scale Vipers
00:11:31.05\00:11:36.83
are one of the fastest-striking
snakes in the world and
00:11:36.86\00:11:40.66
kill more people than all
other snake species combined.
00:11:40.70\00:11:44.90
In India alone, it is estimated
that they kill over 5,000 people
00:11:44.93\00:11:50.34
every year. The latest research
shows that saw-scale vipers
00:11:50.37\00:11:55.04
along with cobras, kraits, and
Russel's vipers have killed over
00:11:55.08\00:11:59.71
1.2 million people in
India in the past 20 years
00:11:59.75\00:12:04.45
and deadly venomous
snakes aren't confined to India.
00:12:04.49\00:12:08.96
Every continent with
the exception of Antarctica
00:12:08.99\00:12:12.93
has notorious killer snakes.
00:12:12.96\00:12:15.03
Africa had Puff
Adders and Black Mamba's.
00:12:15.06\00:12:18.47
America has Cottonmouth's,
Rattlesnakes, and Copperheads.
00:12:18.50\00:12:22.40
Europe has the Asp viper.
South America the Bushmaster
00:12:22.44\00:12:27.04
and the Fer-de-Lance.
00:12:27.08\00:12:28.48
Australia has Death Adders,
Tiger snakes, King Brown's,
00:12:28.51\00:12:33.25
and Taipans.
00:12:33.28\00:12:34.62
The Inland Taipan is the
most venomous snake in the world
00:12:34.65\00:12:38.79
a single bite from one
of these impressive reptiles
00:12:38.82\00:12:42.46
has enough deadly venom
to kill 100 full-grown men,
00:12:42.49\00:12:47.06
no wonder most people
have an innate fear of snakes,
00:12:47.10\00:12:51.20
it's one of our
most common phobias.
00:12:51.23\00:12:54.14
So, there you have it the 7
Deadliest animals in the world.
00:12:54.17\00:13:00.18
Although these apex
predators and deadly bugs are
00:13:00.21\00:13:06.01
scary killers, the world's
deadliest creature year after
00:13:06.05\00:13:10.39
year is actually one
closer to home, Humans.
00:13:10.42\00:13:15.49
Every year humans kill
each other in the thousands.
00:13:15.52\00:13:20.73
We devote immense amounts of
time money and energy in finding
00:13:20.76\00:13:26.30
more efficient and effective
ways to kill each other.
00:13:26.33\00:13:29.80
Global military expenditure
increased 75% over the past
00:13:29.84\00:13:35.78
20 years, global spending
on deadly weapons reached
00:13:35.81\00:13:39.81
record levels last year.
00:13:39.85\00:13:41.88
We specialize in devising
better ways to kill people,
00:13:41.92\00:13:46.22
over 1.5 billion people
have been killed in wars
00:13:46.25\00:13:51.06
down through history,
00:13:51.09\00:13:52.86
Not only are humans responsible
for the most human deaths,
00:13:52.89\00:13:57.50
we also have no problem
killing everything from plants
00:13:57.53\00:14:01.57
to animals for our own
benefit on a daily basis.
00:14:01.60\00:14:05.51
Our ingenuity to create
ways to destroy other species
00:14:05.54\00:14:10.25
and each other definitely puts
humans at the top of the list
00:14:10.28\00:14:15.25
of creatures
who are very deadly.
00:14:15.28\00:14:17.59
But why? Why do
we behave this way?
00:14:17.62\00:14:21.86
Why do we do stupid stuff?
We lie, we steal, we cheat,
00:14:21.89\00:14:27.26
we cling to bad habits, we
bully, we engage in violence,
00:14:27.30\00:14:31.63
and of course,
we kill others. Why?
00:14:31.67\00:14:35.47
Well, it's all due to one thing,
it's all explained in one small
00:14:35.50\00:14:41.68
three-letter word sin, that's
what's responsible for it all
00:14:41.71\00:14:49.68
that's the root cause.
00:14:49.72\00:14:51.82
So, by far the most dangerous
and deadly thing to human
00:14:51.85\00:14:55.59
are not these seven
deadliest animals but rather
00:14:55.62\00:15:00.03
the seven deadliest sins
which create death, destruction,
00:15:00.06\00:15:04.73
and despair to billions
of people around the world.
00:15:04.77\00:15:08.50
Now, what do we mean when we
talk about seven deadly sins?
00:15:08.54\00:15:13.74
And in particular, what is
sin? Well it has to do with
00:15:13.78\00:15:19.38
contravening the moral
principles that govern a
00:15:19.41\00:15:23.89
person's behavior. Sin is
basically a religious term that
00:15:23.92\00:15:29.39
refers to deliberately
disobeying the rules of God and
00:15:29.42\00:15:33.06
rebelling against Him.
00:15:33.09\00:15:34.43
Here's what the
Bible says in 1 John: 3:4.
00:15:34.46\00:15:38.80
God's law, the Ten Commandments
show us what is right and wrong.
00:15:43.44\00:15:48.48
God's Law provides
principles to live by.
00:15:48.51\00:15:52.38
It provides moral values
that govern human behavior.
00:15:52.41\00:15:56.69
Sin is breaking God's law.
00:15:56.72\00:16:00.29
Sin had its beginning
with Lucifer in Heaven,
00:16:00.32\00:16:04.09
he was the most
beautiful and powerful angel,
00:16:04.13\00:16:06.96
the head angel, but he
wasn't content with his position
00:16:07.00\00:16:11.03
he was proud and envious of God,
00:16:11.07\00:16:14.87
he wanted to be higher than
God and that was his downfall
00:16:14.90\00:16:19.24
the beginning of sin. He
led a rebellion against God,
00:16:19.27\00:16:24.21
there was war in heaven
but Lucifer and the angels that
00:16:24.25\00:16:28.75
followed him lost and
were expelled from heaven.
00:16:28.78\00:16:31.82
Renamed Satan, he
brought sin to the human race
00:16:31.85\00:16:36.96
in the Garden of Eden
where he convinced Adam and Eve
00:16:36.99\00:16:40.43
to join his rebellion against
God and against God's law.
00:16:40.46\00:16:44.57
Since that time sin has
been passed down through all
00:16:44.60\00:16:49.17
the generations of the human
race and we Adam's descendants
00:16:49.20\00:16:53.58
have inherited sin from him.
00:16:53.61\00:16:55.78
So now we're all sinners,
we think we don't make mistakes
00:16:55.81\00:17:00.98
and do things that are wrong...
00:17:01.02\00:17:02.55
Among the sins we commit
are particular sins known as
00:17:02.58\00:17:07.39
the "seven deadly sins"...
00:17:07.42\00:17:09.12
Now the list of the seven
deadly sins aren't the deadliest
00:17:09.16\00:17:14.16
sins or worse crimes
against humanity, they're rather
00:17:14.20\00:17:18.17
the most familiar, the
most common and recurring
00:17:18.20\00:17:21.80
pitfalls or sins we all
deal with sooner or later.
00:17:21.84\00:17:25.31
According to Christian tradition
the seven deadly sins are
00:17:25.34\00:17:30.15
Each one of these things
is mentioned in the Bible
00:17:37.45\00:17:40.89
and virtually every sin can be
placed in one of the categories
00:17:40.92\00:17:45.93
of these seven deadly sins.
00:17:45.96\00:17:47.90
And although this actual list
of these seven deadly sins isn't
00:17:47.93\00:17:52.50
recorded in the Bible, they
are sins we are tempted with
00:17:52.53\00:17:55.90
virtually each and every day.
00:17:55.94\00:17:58.04
These are the sins that we
are struggling with regularly.
00:17:58.07\00:18:01.74
So, the big question
is, how do we deal with them
00:18:01.78\00:18:06.68
these seven deadly sins?
00:18:06.72\00:18:08.45
Well, the Bible does give
us the answer to this question
00:18:08.48\00:18:12.59
it explains how we can
deal with and combat the
00:18:12.62\00:18:16.26
seven deadly sins in our lives.
00:18:16.29\00:18:18.63
Firstly, we must recognize
that these seven deadly sins
00:18:18.66\00:18:24.40
like all sins
are literally deadly.
00:18:24.43\00:18:27.80
The Bible tells us that
our sins separate us from God
00:18:27.84\00:18:32.17
and bring death.
00:18:32.21\00:18:33.88
Here's what the Bible
says in Romans 6:23...
00:18:33.91\00:18:38.81
Bad news, we're doomed
because we've all sinned.
00:18:42.78\00:18:48.06
but here's the good news,
God loves us and sent His son
00:18:48.09\00:18:53.93
Jesus to pay the penalty for
our sins to die in our place.
00:18:53.96\00:18:58.47
He's our substitute, he's our
Savior, and if we accept Him,
00:18:58.50\00:19:03.54
and believe in Him our
sins are forgiven and we have
00:19:03.57\00:19:07.18
eternal life. Listen to what
the Bible says in John 3:16...
00:19:07.21\00:19:12.65
Because Jesus has paid
the penalty for our sins
00:19:22.99\00:19:26.80
our guilt can be
healed and our sins forgiven.
00:19:26.83\00:19:30.13
All our sins, even
the seven deadly sins,
00:19:30.17\00:19:34.20
isn't that great news?
00:19:34.24\00:19:36.47
Here's what the
Bible says in 1 John 1:9...
00:19:36.50\00:19:41.18
Did you notice that? It
says all unrighteousness
00:19:50.69\00:19:54.99
or sin, including
the seven deadly sins.
00:19:55.02\00:19:58.19
But there's even more
good news, when we accept Jesus
00:19:58.23\00:20:02.53
not only are our sins forgiven
but He comes into our lives
00:20:02.56\00:20:07.40
and changes us and we
literally become a new person.
00:20:07.44\00:20:12.97
God changes us on the inside,
He transforms us by giving us
00:20:13.01\00:20:18.45
a new heart. Our old hearts
may have been filled with the
00:20:18.48\00:20:22.78
seven deadly sins, filled
with pride, envy, anger, greed
00:20:22.82\00:20:27.19
and lust and it may have been
filled with sin and lawlessness.
00:20:27.22\00:20:30.93
But God can replace it
with a new heart, one that's
00:20:30.96\00:20:36.13
filled with
love, peace, and joy.
00:20:36.16\00:20:38.97
Here's what God
says in Ezekiel 26, 27...
00:20:39.00\00:20:44.57
On the cross, Jesus paid the
price for our sins so that we
00:21:04.26\00:21:09.56
could be given this new
heart and He promises that
00:21:09.60\00:21:13.23
if we accept Him, he will
give us a new start in life.
00:21:13.27\00:21:17.27
He will take our slate
and erase all the mistakes
00:21:17.31\00:21:20.88
we've made, all the evil and
sin and replace it with good.
00:21:20.91\00:21:25.91
God wants to see you happy
and fulfilled so He takes an
00:21:25.95\00:21:30.29
active role in creating
your new heart and brings order
00:21:30.32\00:21:34.62
to the chaos and
sadness in our lives.
00:21:34.66\00:21:37.33
And then, everything that
we have, the right thinking
00:21:37.36\00:21:40.93
and right living, a
clean slate and a fresh heart,
00:21:40.96\00:21:44.17
new hope and new energy all come
from God by way of Jesus Christ,
00:21:44.20\00:21:50.24
basically, God gives us a
heart like Christ and that's how
00:21:50.27\00:21:56.85
we deal with the
seven deadly sins.
00:21:56.88\00:21:58.58
That's how we combat the
seven deadly sins in our lives,
00:21:58.61\00:22:03.79
God changes our lives, our
hearts, our lives are filled
00:22:03.82\00:22:08.99
with God's Spirit, God
takes away the influence of the
00:22:09.02\00:22:13.03
seven deadly sins in our
lives and replaces them with the
00:22:13.06\00:22:17.07
fruit of the Spirit.
00:22:17.10\00:22:18.43
Here's what the Bible
says in Galatians 5: 22,23...
00:22:18.47\00:22:24.17
So, let's take a look at
the Seven Deadly Sins again
00:22:41.89\00:22:45.76
and see how God can
change them for good.
00:22:45.79\00:22:49.00
The first of the
seven deadly sins are pride,
00:22:49.03\00:22:52.93
an inflated unrealistic
sense of your self-worth.
00:22:52.97\00:22:56.74
But God's way is humility,
meekness, love for God,
00:22:56.77\00:23:02.08
and love for others.
00:23:02.11\00:23:03.55
The second deadly sin is envy,
the feeling that you deserve
00:23:03.58\00:23:08.55
the position, success, virtues,
or talents of another person.
00:23:08.58\00:23:13.12
But God's way is love,
joy, kindness, thankfulness, and
00:23:13.15\00:23:19.56
compassion. God places
the desire to help others
00:23:19.59\00:23:23.37
above the need
to supersede them.
00:23:23.40\00:23:25.67
The third deadly sin is anger,
an excessive improper desire
00:23:25.70\00:23:32.14
to exact revenge.
00:23:32.17\00:23:33.88
But God's way is peace,
gentleness, self-control.
00:23:33.91\00:23:39.51
The fourth
deadliest sin is Gluttony.
00:23:39.55\00:23:42.88
An excessive desire for the
pleasure of eating and drinking.
00:23:42.92\00:23:47.06
But God's way is self-control,
contentment, and patience.
00:23:47.09\00:23:53.06
The fifth deadly sin is Lust.
00:23:53.09\00:23:56.46
A selfish focus on sex or a
desire to have sexual pleasure
00:23:56.50\00:24:02.24
with someone
other than your spouse.
00:24:02.27\00:24:04.14
but God's way is
love, and unselfishness.
00:24:04.17\00:24:09.01
Self-control counteracts
lust by controlling passion
00:24:09.04\00:24:13.31
and levering that
energy for the good of others.
00:24:13.35\00:24:16.82
The sixth
deadly sin is Laziness.
00:24:16.85\00:24:20.42
Lack of effort in the face
of a necessary task causing it
00:24:20.46\00:24:25.06
to go undone or
to be done badly.
00:24:25.09\00:24:27.76
But God's way is perseverance,
diligence, and servanthood.
00:24:27.80\00:24:33.60
Diligence changes laziness
by placing the best interest
00:24:33.64\00:24:38.07
of others about
the life of ease.
00:24:38.11\00:24:40.84
The seventh deadly sin is Greed.
00:24:40.88\00:24:44.55
A strong desire for possessions
especially for possessions
00:24:44.58\00:24:48.82
belonging to another.
00:24:48.85\00:24:50.45
But God's way in
generosity and kindness.
00:24:50.49\00:24:54.52
Love cures greed by putting
the desire to help others
00:24:54.56\00:24:59.46
above storing up
treasure for one's self.
00:24:59.49\00:25:02.20
When we accept Jesus and
invite Him into our lives
00:25:02.23\00:25:06.40
He shows, tells, and empowers
us to raise our standards.+
00:25:06.43\00:25:11.94
He encourages us to love others
as we love ourselves and to love
00:25:11.97\00:25:16.64
God with all our
heart, mind, body, and soul.
00:25:16.68\00:25:21.12
When we fix our eyes on Jesus
we will make better choices.
00:25:21.15\00:25:26.22
And Paul the apostle reminds
us what the criteria should be
00:25:26.25\00:25:31.26
when making our choices.
00:25:31.29\00:25:33.26
God wants you to be free
and happy, now and forever
00:25:50.01\00:25:54.58
and that involves
making right choices,
00:25:54.62\00:25:57.62
He wants you to experience
the peace and inner-happiness
00:25:57.65\00:26:01.59
that He has
planned for your life.
00:26:01.62\00:26:03.63
He wants to protect you
not just on the seven deadliest
00:26:03.66\00:26:07.36
animals but also from the even
more dangerous seven deadly sins
00:26:07.40\00:26:12.53
Jesus accepts us just
as we are and where we are
00:26:12.57\00:26:17.37
but He doesn't leave us
there, He changes our lives
00:26:17.41\00:26:21.88
and leads us to a better place.
00:26:21.91\00:26:24.78
