You are done with that 196 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.519 all life. 197 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.320 It's like a field, they said, of ill fitting clothes, 198 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.440 your strength and putting the fire. 199 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.440 Now you are dressed in a new world, roope. 200 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.279 Every item of your new way of life is custom 201 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:02.240 made by the Creator, his label on it. All the 202 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:07.000 old fashions are now of solid Say a big amen. 203 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:12.639 That's a very interesting exhortation from Paul, as translated by 204 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.840 the Message Bible. So as we said, I like the oplay, 205 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.759 I said, are you see us about this bonne again life? 206 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.000 So can you ask somebody for me? You see yours 207 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:29.360 about this again lifestyle? Yeah? 208 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.799 And then maybe maybe let's chriss cross from Paul to 209 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.879 Jesus Christ and ask somebody for me. Are you prepared 210 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.399 to take up your cross deal and follow him? Are 211 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:44.720 you prepared to take up your cross day Harley lou heah. 212 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:47.159 Amen. Amen. 213 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:54.279 So let's pick some points from there and just somebody said, Yah, 214 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.519 can I make the first point here? And maybe I 215 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.240 should still ask you to help me preach that tend 216 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.320 to someone that is giving your life to Jesus is 217 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:06.519 a solemn decision. 218 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:16.759 Amen. It's not something that it should be casual. Halleluyer. Amen. 219 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:21.519 It has to be taken after careful thought and consideration. 220 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:26.360 I believe almost all of us yet who are born again, Amen. 221 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.279 And maybe sometimes it's just like the marriage vowels that 222 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:32.639 we take. And the Bible even goes ahead to tell 223 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:36.120 us that the bonn again experience, which is a covenant 224 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:42.559 relationship within God and the Redeemed Man, it's like a 225 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:47.799 marriage ceremony. We are espoused, the church is espoused to 226 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.679 Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the group, and then the 227 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.440 check that is you and I we are seeing as 228 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.279 the bride of God. 229 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.240 That's how much just for God. I think the scriptst. 230 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.720 Uses these pictures to let us know how much God 231 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:10.519 cherishes us or cherishes the bonn again person, halleluier, because 232 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.919 now we have come into covenant relationship and God has 233 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:19.519 a certain responsibility towards us. By it never wakes one 234 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:23.200 way any relationship which is one way sooner than later, 235 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.320 as much as in as much as we have obligations 236 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:31.360 towards one another, and we also have responsibilities towards one another. 237 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.000 So if it is one way, one way, one way, 238 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.039 sooner than later, he dies, it's the same thing as 239 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.879 for God. He is God, he says, he cannot deny himself. 240 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.200 He's always true to himself. 241 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:46.440 Amen. 242 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:53.000 God never lies, God nevers halleluier. And so the problem 243 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.440 is not with God, but it is always with us. 244 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:01.200 God is committed to the vows of concer creation that 245 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:07.000 betrows us to me, what about us, Helene Luia. That's 246 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.120 what I'm saying. It's a very solemn something relationship. And 247 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.879 it's also for a lifetime, like we're saying the marriage 248 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:21.519 for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness 249 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.159 and in health until death. Do as part, say a 250 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.759 big man. That's the marriage verb, Helen Louia. 251 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:30.759 Amen. 252 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:34.279 And most of these truths, and let me say this 253 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:40.039 one too. The Bible is the mouthpiece of God. It's 254 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:45.000 the mindset of God concerning if you like this world. 255 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:50.519 It's a revelation, a personal revelation of himself to all humankind. 256 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.679 Who is why he went off out of his way 257 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.360 to construct this heaven and earth project that you were 258 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.000 not find ourselves in how he created it, to begin 259 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.480 with what happened and what he has done concerning what 260 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.880 happened or what he's doing for the future. So you 261 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.960 can't maybe I can't say this, bully, You can't be 262 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.680 in this world and not have the opportunity to hear 263 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:20.880 the claims. 264 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.000 Of God has put here or captured here in the Gospel. 265 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:28.279 That's why God, even man days, encourages us to go 266 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.680 out there out there in the world once we have 267 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.519 come to believe and make this gospel news or mess 268 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:39.519 it known to all humankind and anyone who believes it 269 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.000 and comes to salvation, so that they will not perish 270 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.359 but have ever last in life with God. How the 271 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:50.920 louyer Amen. So it's a very very then the Bible 272 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:54.119 is not it's not a playbook for theater and comedy. 273 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.160 It's a very very serious one. That's what I say. 274 00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.880 Get serious. You think there's good one again, you have 275 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.880 to get serious about it. Yeah, we are. 276 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.759 We find ourselves sick and ill disorder in our conversation, 277 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.960 and so you came for fixing it. He's giving us 278 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.359 the instructions, and a lot of us are saying, no, 279 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.400 you see all the ills and the ill effects of 280 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.720 the four the old man that colloss less is the 281 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:25.279 same thing that Galatians poll less, the same things. And 282 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.680 if we look at that list carefully, we'll find out 283 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.079 that one way or the other, at the certain point 284 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.839 in our lives, we found a lot of most of 285 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.680 those and these of the flesh showing up, and they 286 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.640 show up spontaneously. We didn't seemingly have to learn it 287 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:46.359 from somewhere. It's there, whether some consciously, as we're going 288 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:47.160 with all learning. 289 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.319 It just comes out just like that. 290 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.559 And God says, then he told us he wonders that 291 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.920 this is the reason why the raft of God is coming, 292 00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.359 but He has made a way of escape. You and 293 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:05.279 are who believe in the Gospel. Hallelujah, Amen. So it 294 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.480 is not like I said, it's not a playbook for 295 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.680 theater or comedy, nor a fictitious book written to entertain 296 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.160 or even frighten maid. 297 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.839 Into force or compulsory obedience to God. Can I take 298 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:22.359 that again the Bible? Amen. We want to get serials 299 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.160 with it with God with what he said. 300 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.839 I said, it's not a fictitious book writing to entertain 301 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:32.599 or even frighten maid into force or compulsory obedience to God. 302 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:40.000 No, hallelujah, Amen. God is just warning us the world. 303 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.279 Thing about the Bible is all about God, the owner 304 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:47.000 of the well warning us to flee is upcoming, wrap 305 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.200 and take refuge through Jesus Christ, because this world that 306 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.960 is owned by him is about to be destroyed. And 307 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.200 then you ask yourself why is he going to And 308 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:03.279 then now begins to tell us history, the genesis of it, 309 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.039 or how it started, what he created, what went wrong, 310 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:07.720 and why. 311 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.920 He says that he is about to destroy it. Is 312 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:11.880 there anyway out? 313 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.920 He says, yes, through my son Jesus Chrib, I'm offering 314 00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:19.200 and only branch to all you my kind can't make 315 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:23.559 peace with your God and your creator, so that when 316 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:29.359 he finally destroys this world and it's not just destroying it. 317 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.799 He says, I'm creating something better where Satan and his 318 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:38.079 course or demons will never have access to. Then you 319 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.799 and I can qualify. And then he says that we 320 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.720 are asking him when is that going to happen? He says, 321 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:49.519 I'm not going to tell him soon. Since we were children, 322 00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:54.079 he said, Jesus is coming again. We said soon, how soon, soon? 323 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.119 And it's not coming May. And sometimes we think we 324 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:04.400 know this thing is the book of fiction, no Hally Louis. 325 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.440 And that's why we're saying, it's not a fictitious book. 326 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.160 It's not written to entertain or even frighten us into 327 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:13.160 force or compostory obedience to God. 328 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:13.359 Know. 329 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.359 Indeed, the apostle writing the Book of Romance, he says 330 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:20.640 that what, just in case you are satan and believing, 331 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.039 it said, look around, look at the creation, Look at 332 00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:27.119 the sun, look at the moon, look at the stars. 333 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.960 Look go to the sea.

At the same time, in the same breath, 377 00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.599 that is wooing us, warning us that don't take me 378 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.279 for granted. 379 00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:16.559 You. 380 00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:18.920 If you and you are real, then God is real. 381 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.440 If we are real and we are not accidents, we 382 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.319 are not freaks, then God is real as well. 383 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:32.680 Hallelujah, Amen. And sometimes we can see the compelling voices 384 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:36.359 of evil all around us, forcing us to do things 385 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:40.720 that we don't want to do. You just think about it. 386 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.359 We all come from booms, or we all have some 387 00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.839 social connection. Just think briefly about it. We are still 388 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.279 talking about order in our conversation. 389 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:57.039 Amen. Just imagine three hundred and sixty five days of 390 00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:58.880 very very street. 391 00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:02.519 Conversations with your mom, with your dad, with your spouse, 392 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.440 with your brother, with your roommates, with your lecturess, with 393 00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:08.599 the taxi drivers. 394 00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:12.960 How many of us will go for that sweet dog? 395 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:16.799 So why ask yourself? So, why can't we have it? 396 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.839 I don't know about you, Harllelujah and your sweet friends. 397 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.000 How many days before something comes in and then boom 398 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.920 oh you said this and I said this. We can't 399 00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.079 have continuous three since the five days round the club, 400 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.160 sweet conversations with all all humankind. 401 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:43.480
