And thank you for
being here this morning,
00:00:22.31\00:00:24.78
as the word of God
is once again opened
00:00:24.81\00:00:27.47
and we make an exciting
journey into Romans Chapter 5.
00:00:27.50\00:00:34.24
Is there a more thrilling
chapter in the New Testament
00:00:34.27\00:00:38.51
than a chapter that
focuses on the death
00:00:38.54\00:00:42.21
and the life of Jesus Christ,
00:00:42.24\00:00:45.11
and all the
benefits that brings to us.
00:00:45.14\00:00:48.67
Amen. Thank you.
00:00:48.70\00:00:51.11
We've even heard some amen
this morning, a very good sign.
00:00:51.14\00:00:56.34
Let's bow our heads
together this morning.
00:00:56.37\00:00:59.59
Would you hand
the mike over to Ken,
00:00:59.62\00:01:01.51
we're gonna ask him to pray
for us this morning, thank you.
00:01:01.54\00:01:04.41
Good morning, Father,
00:01:07.88\00:01:08.95
we gather this
morning to meet with You
00:01:08.98\00:01:12.08
and to study Your word.
00:01:12.11\00:01:14.77
We praise Your name
for the glorious day
00:01:14.80\00:01:16.76
that you have given to us,
00:01:16.79\00:01:18.03
and the glorious opportunities
that we have to learn.
00:01:18.06\00:01:21.29
We asked that you have
00:01:21.32\00:01:22.35
Your Holy Spirit
filled this room,
00:01:22.38\00:01:24.80
fill Pastor
Liversidge with the words
00:01:24.83\00:01:27.60
You want him to speak today.
00:01:27.63\00:01:30.04
Let the words off the
page and out of his mouth,
00:01:30.07\00:01:32.74
we love you Lord and we
ask this in Jesus' name, amen.
00:01:32.77\00:01:35.37
Amen. Amen.
00:01:35.40\00:01:36.93
Thank you very
much. Let us review.
00:01:36.96\00:01:41.89
We're in Romans 5: 9-10.
00:01:41.92\00:01:48.11
We have our parallelism
here, and in our last session
00:01:48.14\00:01:52.57
we noticed that verse 9
has an A and B statement
00:01:52.60\00:01:57.45
and verse 10 also
has an A and B statement.
00:01:57.48\00:02:02.62
Don't you love the organized
mind of the Apostle Paul?
00:02:02.65\00:02:07.62
In two verses he can summarize
the entire plan of redemption.
00:02:07.65\00:02:14.44
Preach that all those amens,
00:02:14.47\00:02:16.10
it gives me
courage here this morning.
00:02:16.13\00:02:18.96
In two verses Paul can summarize
00:02:18.99\00:02:23.14
the complete plan of redemption.
00:02:23.17\00:02:26.32
Amen.
00:02:26.35\00:02:27.38
If you hear these two verses,
you will be set for life,
00:02:27.41\00:02:34.05
because the
essential ingredients
00:02:34.08\00:02:37.11
of the plan of
salvation will be in you.
00:02:37.14\00:02:40.98
And through you
and in behalf of you,
00:02:41.01\00:02:44.68
because they're all centered
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:02:44.71\00:02:49.63
Amen.
00:02:49.66\00:02:50.70
The thing I love
about Paul's focus is,
00:02:50.73\00:02:54.69
he's totally Christ
centered, this one thing I know,
00:02:54.72\00:03:02.44
Jesus Christ and him crucified.
00:03:02.47\00:03:05.92
Amen.
00:03:05.95\00:03:07.00
He doesn't wander off,
00:03:07.03\00:03:08.59
he gets to the
point, it's all about Jesus.
00:03:08.62\00:03:13.71
And whether you're
speaking of justification,
00:03:13.74\00:03:16.87
sanctification or glorification,
00:03:16.90\00:03:20.60
it's 100% the
righteousness of Jesus.
00:03:20.63\00:03:25.23
Amen.
00:03:25.26\00:03:26.29
From beginning to
end as we saw last night
00:03:26.32\00:03:29.20
there is not one shred
00:03:29.23\00:03:32.02
of human contribution
in the whole process
00:03:32.05\00:03:36.74
because even the
good deeds that we do
00:03:36.77\00:03:40.14
are actually an
evidence of God in us.
00:03:40.17\00:03:43.53
Amen.
00:03:43.56\00:03:44.87
Both willing and
doing of his good pleasure,
00:03:44.90\00:03:49.87
so I hope that you're alive
audience in the spirit today.
00:03:49.90\00:03:55.96
Amen. Amen.
00:03:55.99\00:03:59.97
I guess, I shall live in hopes
00:04:00.00\00:04:01.92
at the moment of
that manifesting itself
00:04:01.95\00:04:05.64
so in our last
session we noticed
00:04:05.67\00:04:08.86
the A statement of verse 9
00:04:08.89\00:04:11.23
and the A statement of verse 10,
00:04:11.26\00:04:13.84
both focused on the
atoning death of Jesus.
00:04:13.87\00:04:20.73
And Paul reminded us
00:04:20.76\00:04:23.00
that we have been
justified by His blood,
00:04:23.03\00:04:26.45
and we have been
reconciled through His death.
00:04:26.48\00:04:30.19
And the meaning of justification
00:04:30.22\00:04:33.26
came through loud
and clear last evening.
00:04:33.29\00:04:38.06
Amen.
00:04:38.09\00:04:39.12
Let's take a
hand on this morning,
00:04:39.15\00:04:40.85
who recalls the specific
meaning of justification.
00:04:40.88\00:04:45.51
Okay, let's hear up
here. Declared right now.
00:04:49.41\00:04:53.25
Oh, you did it last night too,
00:04:53.28\00:04:54.67
now I think about it, go ahead.
00:04:54.70\00:04:56.67
Declared righteous. Amen.
00:04:56.70\00:04:59.53
You can see that
it's brought forth
00:04:59.56\00:05:00.88
an incredible
response here this morning.
00:05:00.91\00:05:03.56
Let's have it repeat it again
00:05:03.59\00:05:05.07
incase there's
life present here.
00:05:05.10\00:05:07.62
Declared righteous. Amen.
00:05:07.65\00:05:12.15
God has lifted your
filthy garments from you
00:05:12.18\00:05:16.66
and allowed them to fall on one
00:05:16.69\00:05:19.12
who did not
deserve to have them.
00:05:19.15\00:05:23.77
Jesus was willing
to become sin for us.
00:05:23.80\00:05:29.15
Question here, 1
minute for the mike.
00:05:29.18\00:05:34.95
I've always looked
at that word justified
00:05:34.98\00:05:37.41
and turned it to just
as if I had never sinned.
00:05:37.44\00:05:40.12
That's the common
expression of it, and it's okay.
00:05:40.15\00:05:42.83
Okay, well, from
my simple mind I need,
00:05:42.86\00:05:45.75
I just-- that
just fits me so well.
00:05:45.78\00:05:47.69
Okay, you can redo sit to that.
00:05:47.72\00:05:49.01
That God doesn't
see any sin in me.
00:05:49.04\00:05:51.18
Yes. That's huge.
00:05:51.21\00:05:54.31
That is huge.
00:05:54.34\00:05:55.87
It's really a declaration
00:05:55.90\00:05:57.53
that's why we are
using the word, declare,
00:05:57.56\00:06:00.80
because it's
about to be followed
00:06:00.83\00:06:02.81
by the reality now within you.
00:06:02.84\00:06:06.00
That if you're
willing to let God
00:06:06.03\00:06:07.51
declare you to be this,
00:06:07.54\00:06:10.04
He will now bring
it about within you.
00:06:10.07\00:06:12.42
Remember last
night, I quoted somebody
00:06:12.45\00:06:15.37
who'd been in the seminar
00:06:15.40\00:06:16.74
and said
sanctification is the process,
00:06:16.77\00:06:20.38
where by God now makes us
00:06:20.41\00:06:23.20
into what he has
already declared us to be.
00:06:23.23\00:06:26.78
But nothing wrong,
your summary is fine,
00:06:26.81\00:06:29.48
it's quite appropriate,
that God is looking at us
00:06:29.51\00:06:33.21
as though we
had not even sinned.
00:06:33.24\00:06:34.94
That's the
declaration of the righteous.
00:06:34.97\00:06:36.90
Same thing, yes, the same thing,
00:06:36.93\00:06:39.32
and I quite like
the way you said it,
00:06:39.35\00:06:41.07
it makes it me
even clearer, you know.
00:06:41.10\00:06:43.81
God is looking at us as
though we had never sinned.
00:06:43.84\00:06:46.40
That's indeed true.
00:06:46.43\00:06:48.19
But the reasons
behind that are crucial.
00:06:48.22\00:06:50.69
It's because Jesus became sin.
00:06:50.72\00:06:55.47
Whatever sin is done
to you, fell on Jesus.
00:06:55.50\00:07:00.71
Anyone sitting here this morning
00:07:06.49\00:07:08.07
overwhelmed by that thought,
00:07:08.10\00:07:10.23
whatever sin has done to you,
00:07:10.26\00:07:13.68
Jesus permitted
to fall upon Him.
00:07:13.71\00:07:17.50
He felt your judgment,
He felt your condemnation,
00:07:17.53\00:07:22.58
He took your guilt,
00:07:22.61\00:07:25.55
He was even willing to
die your eternal death.
00:07:25.58\00:07:31.77
This is love, this is
love of the highest order,
00:07:31.80\00:07:35.88
all because he loved you
00:07:35.91\00:07:38.31
and he did not wish to
spend eternity without you.
00:07:38.34\00:07:42.21
Amen.
00:07:42.24\00:07:43.62
He became sin, He
who knew know sin,
00:07:43.65\00:07:48.91
became sin, so
that we might become
00:07:48.94\00:07:53.61
the righteousness of God in him.
00:07:53.64\00:07:55.84
No wonder He
thought He was forsaken.
00:07:55.87\00:07:58.43
Anyone actually
praising God this morning?
00:08:02.87\00:08:06.98
But I want to
hear a word of praise.
00:08:07.01\00:08:08.98
Anyone got a word
of praise this morning?
00:08:09.01\00:08:12.04
Go ahead, Ann.
00:08:12.07\00:08:13.10
Father, this morning
00:08:19.00\00:08:20.38
I just so
overwhelmed knowing the fact
00:08:20.41\00:08:26.26
how much You love me,
00:08:26.29\00:08:29.40
that You're just only
declaring me righteous.
00:08:29.43\00:08:32.61
But You promised that
You will make me righteous,
00:08:32.64\00:08:35.38
and I'm grateful for ever.
00:08:35.41\00:08:37.07
Amen, beautiful clear statement,
00:08:37.10\00:08:39.19
and I love the
fact that she's always
00:08:39.22\00:08:41.53
so willing to
praise God for this gift.
00:08:41.56\00:08:43.80
Thank you very much.
00:08:43.83\00:08:45.19
Well, and we have on
more word of praise over here,
00:08:45.22\00:08:47.88
Grant, thank you very much.
00:08:47.91\00:08:49.36
Father, I praise You Lord,
00:08:55.36\00:08:58.70
because You make my
salvation so personal in Jesus.
00:08:58.73\00:09:02.51
I find myself
reflected in His sacrifice,
00:09:02.54\00:09:07.48
in His death, in
His atonement for me
00:09:07.51\00:09:10.62
and through Him You
declared me righteous.
00:09:10.65\00:09:14.66
And You are
willing to cleanse my sin
00:09:14.69\00:09:19.26
and I'm humbled
by the opportunity
00:09:19.29\00:09:23.23
that You give me,
to bring glory to You
00:09:23.26\00:09:27.67
by revealing Jesus in
our lives, in my life.
00:09:27.70\00:09:30.20
Amen.
00:09:30.23\00:09:31.27
And I pray that you
will make it possible.
00:09:31.30\00:09:33.80
Amen.
00:09:33.83\00:09:34.87
For me to see
Jesus, when He comes.
00:09:34.90\00:09:37.65
Beautiful statement.
00:09:37.68\00:09:38.72
Thank you for such
beautiful praise this morning.
00:09:38.75\00:09:41.02
We have one more hand
back there Grant, thank you.
00:09:41.05\00:09:45.46
We have two more hands.
00:09:45.49\00:09:48.61
Heavenly Father, I praise You,
00:09:48.64\00:09:50.25
because when I
take this thought in,
00:09:50.28\00:09:53.25
it breaks my heart and
it makes me want to weep,
00:09:53.28\00:09:56.48
and I don't want to
hurt You ever, ever again.
00:09:56.51\00:09:59.25
I'm so motivated to
love You and to follow You
00:09:59.28\00:10:03.13
because I don't want
to cause You anymore pain.
00:10:03.16\00:10:05.72
You did enough for me.
00:10:05.75\00:10:07.35
You did enough for all
of us. Praise you, Lord.
00:10:07.38\00:10:10.61
And He is offering
even much more yet.
00:10:10.64\00:10:12.87
Amen.
00:10:12.90\00:10:13.94
Beautiful prayers. Thank you.
00:10:13.97\00:10:15.95
Randy had his hand up.
00:10:15.98\00:10:17.35
Father, we just
want to praise You today
00:10:21.63\00:10:23.89
for giving up Your
Son, to come to this earth
00:10:23.92\00:10:29.13
and die my death to sin,
00:10:29.16\00:10:32.98
and free me from guilt Father
00:10:33.01\00:10:35.04
and take the condemnation
and lift it from us.
00:10:35.07\00:10:38.81
We just praise
you for that Father
00:10:38.84\00:10:40.54
and give glory to You.
00:10:40.57\00:10:42.51
Thank you, Lord.
00:10:42.54\00:10:43.90
Amen. Amen.
00:10:43.93\00:10:46.25
Let's read together
Romans 8 this morning,
00:10:46.28\00:10:51.09
Romans 8:1-3.
00:10:51.12\00:10:53.46
My way of confirmation
is to what we are learning,
00:10:56.50\00:10:59.38
Romans 8:1-3, you
know this verse hopefully.
00:10:59.41\00:11:04.78
"There is
therefore now no condemnation
00:11:04.81\00:11:10.77
to those who
are in Christ Jesus,
00:11:10.80\00:11:15.40
for the law of
the Spirit of life
00:11:15.43\00:11:18.83
and Christ
Jesus has set you free
00:11:18.86\00:11:21.54
from the law of sin and death.
00:11:21.57\00:11:25.20
For what the law could not do
00:11:25.23\00:11:28.24
weak as it was
through the flesh,
00:11:28.27\00:11:30.38
God did sending his own son
in the likeness of sinful flesh
00:11:30.41\00:11:36.24
and as an offering for sin.
00:11:36.27\00:11:38.93
He condemned sin in the flesh."
00:11:38.96\00:11:42.57
Amen.
00:11:42.60\00:11:45.11
By the way and I'm
taking a hand on this
00:11:45.14\00:11:47.02
in whose flesh
did God condemned sin?
00:11:47.05\00:11:50.20
Grant? In the
flesh of Jesus Christ.
00:11:53.30\00:11:55.22
It's the flesh of Jesus Christ.
00:11:55.25\00:11:58.56
You had one learned
just like James the Baptist
00:11:58.59\00:12:01.63
in the
wilderness here, you know.
00:12:01.66\00:12:02.73
Somewhat repeat it.
00:12:02.76\00:12:03.80
Repeat it, you got to say things
00:12:03.83\00:12:05.20
three times to get a response,
Grant, you've proved that.
00:12:05.23\00:12:08.48
The sin was condemned in
the flesh of Jesus Christ.
00:12:08.51\00:12:12.12
Amen.
00:12:12.15\00:12:13.45
There is life
for you, praise God.
00:12:13.48\00:12:16.30
Thank you for
such a clear statement.
00:12:16.33\00:12:18.03
Sin was condemned not
in my flesh, in His flesh.
00:12:18.06\00:12:24.39
He is the one upon
whom the condemnation fell.
00:12:24.42\00:12:30.37
And if you have entered
into belief in regards to him,
00:12:30.40\00:12:33.56
the good news is you
are not under condemnation.
00:12:33.59\00:12:37.72
Amen.
00:12:37.75\00:12:38.80
Now one big statement
came out in our last session,
00:12:38.83\00:12:42.18
who recalls the first of
three really big statements
00:12:42.21\00:12:46.94
coming through this weekend.
00:12:46.97\00:12:49.11
Who recalls it, I
want to see a hand on this
00:12:49.14\00:12:51.52
a really big statement.
00:12:51.55\00:12:54.15
Ken, okay, came out last night.
00:12:54.18\00:12:57.91
If we remain in faith,
00:12:57.94\00:12:59.89
we're saved
through Jesus everyday.
00:12:59.92\00:13:02.25
Oh, you haven't
got it crystal clear.
00:13:02.28\00:13:04.55
It's a great
tragedy to be on third base
00:13:04.58\00:13:07.22
and stuck there, come
on, we need a home run.
00:13:07.25\00:13:09.84
This was the big statement
of the evening last night.
00:13:09.87\00:13:14.42
Hand the mike
over to the guy next,
00:13:14.45\00:13:16.57
this is a turn
around for you too now
00:13:16.60\00:13:18.89
after last night, okay.
00:13:18.92\00:13:20.19
What has happened to Jesus,
00:13:20.22\00:13:21.93
God considers it happened to us.
00:13:21.96\00:13:25.17
Amen.
00:13:25.20\00:13:26.61
Thank you very much, Randy,
if it's happened to Jesus,
00:13:26.64\00:13:31.94
God considers that
it's happened to me.
00:13:31.97\00:13:37.35
If Jesus felt the
condemnation of sin
00:13:37.38\00:13:43.40
and He fully atoned for it,
00:13:43.43\00:13:47.35
I have also felt
the condemnation of sin
00:13:47.38\00:13:51.60
and fully atoned for it,
00:13:51.63\00:13:54.23
because God has
accepted Jesus in my place.
00:13:54.26\00:13:59.35
Amen.
00:13:59.38\00:14:00.57
Here's the second statement
of the weekend coming out
00:14:00.60\00:14:03.27
now, big
statement coming out now,
00:14:03.30\00:14:06.14
really big statement.
00:14:06.17\00:14:09.75
This is a very
important statement.
00:14:09.78\00:14:12.22
The whole time that you
are growing up into Jesus,
00:14:12.25\00:14:19.91
you're daily
learning to become like Him.
00:14:19.94\00:14:24.35
It's a life long process,
00:14:24.38\00:14:27.49
the whole time
that you're learning
00:14:27.52\00:14:33.41
to become like Jesus
throughout your entire life.
00:14:33.44\00:14:37.69
The good news is
you should go through
00:14:37.72\00:14:40.04
this process of sanctification,
00:14:40.07\00:14:43.84
you're not condemned.
00:14:43.87\00:14:49.29
Amen. Amen.
00:14:49.32\00:14:50.95
And that's about
it, I was gonna say
00:14:54.02\00:14:55.37
that's about as
feeble a responses
00:14:55.40\00:14:57.17
I've heard in years.
00:14:57.20\00:14:58.48
I'm gonna repeat it.
00:14:58.51\00:14:59.63
We have one very
strong amen at the end there.
00:14:59.66\00:15:02.62
Pray, you saved the day.
I'm gonna repeat it again.
00:15:02.65\00:15:06.85
The whole time
that you are learning
00:15:06.88\00:15:10.83
to grow up and
become like Jesus.
00:15:10.86\00:15:13.69
It's a life long process,
it's called sanctification.
00:15:13.72\00:15:19.24
Amen.
00:15:19.27\00:15:20.87
The whole time that we are going
00:15:20.90\00:15:23.92
through that process
we are not condemned.
00:15:23.95\00:15:29.26
Amen
00:15:29.29\00:15:31.41
Because our condemnation
has already fallen on Jesus.
00:15:31.44\00:15:37.72
Amen.
00:15:37.75\00:15:41.64
I hardly know a dozen people
00:15:41.67\00:15:43.44
that are acting in
faith on this matter you know.
00:15:43.47\00:15:47.88
Did actually believe, you know,
00:15:47.91\00:15:49.18
what I'm seeing with
people they make a mistake,
00:15:49.21\00:15:51.22
you know what they do?
00:15:51.25\00:15:53.17
They start whipping themselves.
00:15:53.20\00:15:55.73
Oh, I messed up.
Oh, I let God down.
00:15:55.76\00:15:58.65
I let myself
down. I let you down.
00:15:58.68\00:16:01.85
I'm a disaster. I've
just messed up big time.
00:16:01.88\00:16:04.30
I've even lost
everything and I say hey,
00:16:04.33\00:16:08.26
what did you do to
earn it in the first place?
00:16:08.29\00:16:12.42
What did we learned last
month? What was our condition?
00:16:12.45\00:16:16.05
When the grace
of God came upon us,
00:16:16.08\00:16:18.38
we were helpless, what else?
00:16:18.41\00:16:22.70
Ungodly, sinners
and enemies of God.
00:16:22.73\00:16:29.26
We had nothing to
give, nothing to offer God.
00:16:29.29\00:16:33.81
And He justified us
in our ungodly condition.
00:16:33.84\00:16:38.88
Amen. This is grace.
00:16:38.91\00:16:42.38
Amen.
00:16:42.41\00:16:44.30
So before you start believing
that you've lost everything,
00:16:44.33\00:16:49.14
consider how much
you did to obtain it.
00:16:49.17\00:16:52.39
Amen.
00:16:52.42\00:16:53.66
'Cause you had
nothing within yourself
00:16:53.69\00:16:56.11
to offer God, God knew that.
00:16:56.14\00:16:59.72
So He accepted
Jesus in your place.
00:16:59.75\00:17:03.02
Let's be grateful
for that for ever.
00:17:03.05\00:17:07.22
And he considered the
righteousness of Jesus
00:17:07.25\00:17:09.78
now to be credited to us.
00:17:09.81\00:17:12.29
Wow! Amen.
00:17:12.32\00:17:13.83
This is grace. This is grace.
00:17:13.86\00:17:19.10
It took me years to realize this
00:17:19.13\00:17:20.79
that I've absolutely got
nothing in me to offer God.
00:17:20.82\00:17:25.31
Marty, yes?
00:17:25.34\00:17:26.88
It hit me while we were
looking at this characteristic,
00:17:32.42\00:17:40.14
that we are helplessly, ungodly,
00:17:40.17\00:17:42.89
we are helpless sinners,
00:17:42.92\00:17:45.65
and we are
helplessly his enemies.
00:17:45.68\00:17:48.61
Beautiful.
00:17:48.64\00:17:49.68
He's an incredible
God that would pursue us,
00:17:49.71\00:17:53.05
and see beyond
what we could deliver.
00:17:53.08\00:17:56.32
Well.
00:17:56.35\00:17:57.38
Calling us
precious in His sight.
00:17:57.41\00:17:59.73
Wow. Just because He loves us.
00:17:59.76\00:18:03.17
What a beautiful
statement, Marty.
00:18:03.20\00:18:04.50
Incredible God.
Praise God for this.
00:18:04.53\00:18:06.57
Amen.
00:18:06.60\00:18:07.63
This clear
statement this morning.
00:18:07.66\00:18:09.53
Wow! I just get tingles
00:18:09.56\00:18:11.20
when I hear a
statement like that.
00:18:11.23\00:18:13.32
I love the way you interpreted
by putting the word helpless
00:18:13.35\00:18:16.17
before each of those things.
00:18:16.20\00:18:18.46
We are talking about a
really generous God here.
00:18:18.49\00:18:22.45
Amen.
00:18:22.48\00:18:23.54
So why do we keep
whipping ourselves,
00:18:23.57\00:18:26.96
punishing ourselves,
because we made a mistake.
00:18:26.99\00:18:31.15
What should a child of
God do if they mess up?
00:18:31.18\00:18:35.98
They should run
to Him in repentance.
00:18:36.01\00:18:38.19
Amen.
00:18:38.22\00:18:39.25
And confession and
feel his everlasting arms
00:18:39.28\00:18:43.15
around them, forgiving them,
00:18:43.18\00:18:44.83
restoring them
and reminding them
00:18:44.86\00:18:47.53
you are still my child.
00:18:47.56\00:18:49.86
Amen.
00:18:49.89\00:18:51.11
I'm not kicking you out of home,
00:18:51.14\00:18:52.98
because you messed up
00:18:53.01\00:18:54.46
and I'm certainly
not withdrawing from you
00:18:54.49\00:18:57.37
all the benefits
of justification.
00:18:57.40\00:18:59.98
Amen.
00:19:00.01\00:19:01.04
Because you are not perfect,
00:19:01.07\00:19:03.17
trust me and I will
grow you up into my likeness.
00:19:03.20\00:19:07.18
Amen.
00:19:07.21\00:19:08.25
So much so that
when I shall appear,
00:19:08.28\00:19:11.64
you shall be like
me, that's His promise.
00:19:11.67\00:19:15.54
I'm holding God to that promise,
00:19:15.57\00:19:17.34
I don't know about you.
00:19:17.37\00:19:18.93
I'm taking that
promise seriously.
00:19:18.96\00:19:20.92
Ken, go ahead please.
00:19:20.95\00:19:23.14
I was also struck by
the word enemies last night,
00:19:23.17\00:19:26.35
and to think of
enemies, you know time of war
00:19:26.38\00:19:29.88
that means I'm fighting
God, I was in battle with him,
00:19:29.91\00:19:34.88
and He still perceived
me, He still loved me anyway
00:19:34.91\00:19:39.18
and He still grabs me
00:19:39.21\00:19:40.25
and He still says you're my son.
00:19:40.28\00:19:41.66
You know, stop fighting me
00:19:41.69\00:19:44.17
and his condemnation in judgment
00:19:44.20\00:19:49.51
that I should have on me
has been forgiven already
00:19:49.54\00:19:52.53
through the death
of Christ on the cross.
00:19:52.56\00:19:54.36
Amen. Amen.
00:19:54.39\00:19:55.79
Wow.
00:19:55.82\00:19:56.85
So the death of
Christ is central
00:19:56.88\00:19:58.71
to every single
action in our lives,
00:19:58.74\00:20:02.55
because either if we mess up
00:20:02.58\00:20:04.23
and we come to God in repentance
00:20:04.26\00:20:06.29
or we start
questioning ourselves
00:20:06.32\00:20:08.15
and feel quite hopeless,
00:20:08.18\00:20:09.48
and I'm never
gonna be good enough.
00:20:09.51\00:20:11.34
I hear people
saying it all the time.
00:20:11.37\00:20:14.47
Everything hinges on a correct
understanding of the cross.
00:20:14.50\00:20:18.75
So I appreciate the statement
00:20:18.78\00:20:20.48
coming through
here this morning.
00:20:20.51\00:20:22.14
Luanne has a reason for
such a new development here.
00:20:22.17\00:20:25.66
Thank you Luanne.
00:20:25.69\00:20:28.00
One of the aspects of our Father
00:20:28.03\00:20:30.57
that's really
impacting me this morning is,
00:20:30.60\00:20:34.55
yes, his
generosity but his capability.
00:20:34.58\00:20:39.04
So many time I intend
00:20:39.07\00:20:40.76
to be generous
and that's my heart,
00:20:40.79\00:20:43.71
but I'm just not
able to follow through.
00:20:43.74\00:20:45.44
Wow.
00:20:45.47\00:20:46.50
He can, and He does and He
will and it's all wrapped up
00:20:46.53\00:20:52.37
like we we're
seeing in the cross
00:20:52.40\00:20:54.50
and I just praise His name.
00:20:54.53\00:20:56.17
Amen.
00:20:56.20\00:20:57.23
What a beautiful
statement Luanne.
00:20:57.26\00:20:58.90
Thank you very
much. Well, Jose, yes.
00:20:58.93\00:21:02.01
Without strength I praise Him
00:21:07.12\00:21:08.83
'cause this morning
I'm-- I had no strength,
00:21:08.86\00:21:13.13
He gave me the
strength this morning.
00:21:13.16\00:21:14.25
Amen.
00:21:14.28\00:21:15.31
Each day He gives us strength.
00:21:15.34\00:21:17.49
Many times we're
tired, we're just,
00:21:17.52\00:21:22.45
it's just
amazing how He gives me
00:21:22.48\00:21:24.32
the strength all of
us and we just ask Him.
00:21:24.35\00:21:26.21
He's gonna give us His strength.
00:21:26.24\00:21:27.78
I feel different, I feel--
00:21:27.81\00:21:29.99
I just feel blessed, I feel--
00:21:30.02\00:21:33.49
it's a-- that
word without strength--
00:21:33.52\00:21:35.52
Powerful statement, Jose.
Yes, He gives us His strength.
00:21:35.55\00:21:38.07
Amen. He is our strength.
00:21:38.10\00:21:39.76
He is our strength.
00:21:39.79\00:21:41.57
He's all knowing,
He's all powerful,
00:21:41.60\00:21:43.14
and He's all seen.
00:21:43.17\00:21:44.20
What praise we're
hearing this morning, huh.
00:21:44.23\00:21:47.01
Thank you very
much for that, wow.
00:21:47.04\00:21:48.49
Thank you.
00:21:48.52\00:21:50.02
The B statements,
it came out last night
00:21:50.05\00:21:55.26
that we have moved
00:21:55.29\00:21:57.14
from the death of
Jesus to His life.
00:21:57.17\00:22:03.08
We've moved beyond
His death to his life.
00:22:03.11\00:22:08.23
Amen.
00:22:08.26\00:22:09.97
And there's
something in the B statements
00:22:10.00\00:22:14.47
that is identified
with the life of Jesus.
00:22:14.50\00:22:18.27
Even though most people believe
00:22:18.30\00:22:21.36
it should be
associated with His death.
00:22:21.39\00:22:25.47
But according to Paul,
00:22:25.50\00:22:27.78
it is more correctly
associated with his life.
00:22:27.81\00:22:33.60
Now who is picking up
on this, this morning.
00:22:33.63\00:22:36.37
There's something
in the B statements
00:22:36.40\00:22:40.55
that Paul identifies
with the life of Jesus
00:22:40.58\00:22:44.76
even though the whole
Christian world believes
00:22:44.79\00:22:48.80
that it should be
associated with His death.
00:22:48.83\00:22:51.18
In fact, I even
hear people saying it,
00:22:51.21\00:22:53.31
Jesus died to something
but Paul is questioning that.
00:22:53.34\00:22:57.98
Let's see the
hands that are up, okay,
00:22:58.01\00:23:00.09
here's a hand here this morning,
00:23:00.12\00:23:01.97
the mike is
miraculously coming to you.
00:23:02.00\00:23:05.03
I think the Christian
world is always been taught
00:23:05.06\00:23:07.27
that Jesus died to
appease the wrath of His Father.
00:23:07.30\00:23:11.88
Come on, use the word
00:23:11.91\00:23:13.13
that everyone
uses, Jesus died to...
00:23:13.16\00:23:16.46
Don't put words in her
mouth, she is very eloquent.
00:23:16.49\00:23:19.89
Jesus died to pay for our sins.
00:23:19.92\00:23:24.00
She is living in a
highly refined atmosphere, okay.
00:23:24.03\00:23:27.97
Who has the
ordinary word here for me?
00:23:28.00\00:23:30.43
Come on, who's
got the ordinary word?
00:23:30.46\00:23:32.32
The wrath to appease.
00:23:32.35\00:23:33.58
Okay, don't call out please,
00:23:33.61\00:23:35.46
that's the big no, no here, yes.
00:23:35.49\00:23:37.36
Saved.
00:23:37.39\00:23:38.99
So people like,
commonly say Jesus died
00:23:39.02\00:23:42.04
to save me from my
sins, not in my sins.
00:23:42.07\00:23:45.63
Oh, he just wants to
preach the sermon on this,
00:23:45.66\00:23:47.69
now that's excellent man.
00:23:47.72\00:23:49.31
Give her back the mike again.
00:23:49.34\00:23:51.38
So what are you
seeing in the B statements
00:23:51.41\00:23:54.85
what word is popping up,
00:23:54.88\00:23:57.17
I mean this is
such a simple question
00:23:57.20\00:23:59.38
I feel like I'm
offending your intelligence
00:23:59.41\00:24:02.65
by asking you this question.
00:24:02.68\00:24:04.46
What word is popping
up in the B statements
00:24:04.49\00:24:07.27
that Paul associates
with the life of Jesus
00:24:07.30\00:24:10.88
and not His death.
00:24:10.91\00:24:13.01
You've got the mike.
This is a moment in the sun.
00:24:13.04\00:24:16.10
It's His living that saves us.
00:24:21.28\00:24:24.70
What word is popping up
00:24:24.73\00:24:26.44
that Paul
associates with his life.
00:24:26.47\00:24:29.27
I must had not
written it all down here.
00:24:29.30\00:24:31.43
It's on the
board, here in front,
00:24:31.46\00:24:33.15
oh hallelujah.
00:24:33.18\00:24:34.59
Isn't God gracious?
00:24:34.62\00:24:35.93
Instead of saved by His death,
00:24:35.96\00:24:37.39
we're actually
saved by His life, I say.
00:24:37.42\00:24:39.22
Thank you so much.
00:24:39.25\00:24:41.35
Paul says we are saved
not by His death, but...
00:24:41.38\00:24:45.88
By His life. By His life.
00:24:45.91\00:24:48.28
Yes. Amen.
00:24:48.31\00:24:49.36
It's a great shame, we
have to cut off at this minute
00:24:49.39\00:24:51.39
because the
understanding of salvation
00:24:51.42\00:24:54.78
is now about to come
through with crystal clarity.
00:24:54.81\00:25:00.94
Hand the microphone to Jose.
00:25:00.97\00:25:03.32
I'm gonna ask him
to close in prayer
00:25:03.35\00:25:05.35
as we finish this
session, thank you.
00:25:05.38\00:25:08.07
Heavenly Father,
we want to thank You
00:25:08.10\00:25:09.49
for this Sabbath day.
00:25:09.52\00:25:11.25
Thank You for Your
word and be with us
00:25:11.28\00:25:13.49
and open our eyes
and minds and our hearts
00:25:13.52\00:25:16.57
and help us to be
more loving to You
00:25:16.60\00:25:19.78
and to depend and
to rely on You each day
00:25:19.81\00:25:22.41
and thank You so much
00:25:22.44\00:25:23.47
for the
precious gift of Your Son
00:25:23.50\00:25:25.06
and what He has done.
00:25:25.09\00:25:27.00
He died for our sins
and He gave up His life
00:25:27.03\00:25:30.44
and that's all
because He loved us.
00:25:30.47\00:25:33.22
Nothing, nothing
good in any of us,
00:25:33.25\00:25:35.90
it's only because of
You, we are here today.
00:25:35.93\00:25:38.59
In Jesus' name, amen, thank you.
00:25:38.62\00:25:39.94
Amen. Amen.
00:25:39.97\00:25:41.47
Thank you very much.
