Speaker 2: Welcome.
Speaker 1: Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon podcast, your daily Dawson, inspiring
Speaker 1: from heartfelt tagalog sermons from different pasters and speakers all
Speaker 1: over the Philippines. We've hopen this podcast finds you in
Speaker 1: good shape and now here's your message.
Speaker 2: Welcome everyone, Welcome to our five PM service. Yes, we
Speaker 2: are live. We are here at the center right now.
Speaker 2: We are actually continuing our Gospel Explain series and we
Speaker 2: are already at our week nine. Imagine that for nine
Speaker 2: weeks we have been studying the Word of God. We've
Speaker 2: been studying Romance, and we have been studying how Paul
Speaker 2: is unpacking what it is to really understand the gospel.
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of us might be saying a
Speaker 2: gospel Alampon. I've heard that it's been shared to me.
Speaker 2: But it's very important for us to slowly unpack it
Speaker 2: why so that we will be a able to live
Speaker 2: out the right gospel. You know, last week I shared
Speaker 2: the Word last week and one of the things, or
Speaker 2: one of the main points that I shared was this
Speaker 2: that God chose you. God chose you, and that's why
Speaker 2: he has forgiven you. God chose you because he loves
Speaker 2: you so much. He has actually forgiven you for the
Speaker 2: things that you have done in the past, and so
Speaker 2: he has given us a clean slate. The Bible says
Speaker 2: He has made your sins as far as the East
Speaker 2: Avenue is from the West avenue, Macabil and Duluja, and
Speaker 2: it's very far from each other. But the question some
Speaker 2: of us are still thinking about today. You may be
Speaker 2: a new believer, or you may be a believer for decades. Now,
Speaker 2: the question that we ask is, Lord Bagnon, I've been
Speaker 2: reading my Bible. I've been faithful. Lord. I actually attend
Speaker 2: all the services, the online services. I make time to
Speaker 2: have my devotion, I attend the victory group. But why
Speaker 2: is it that there's this one sin that I feel
Speaker 2: like I don't have power to overcome. Why is it
Speaker 2: that there's this one sin that I can't break free from?
Speaker 2: Why is it that there's this one sin that always
Speaker 2: pops out when there's a new season in my life?
Speaker 2: Why is it there's just one sin that I can't
Speaker 2: I can't get free off. Lord, You've forgiven me for that,
Speaker 2: but why is it still there? Why is it still
Speaker 2: bothering me? You know, this is a concern of the
Speaker 2: church before, during the time of fall, but it is
Speaker 2: I believe a church. I believe we are still going
Speaker 2: through today. You know, this pandemic actually allowed us to
Speaker 2: see your old sinfulness, not in some of you and
Speaker 2: I myself, No, I realized when I was locked in
Speaker 2: there were hints of the old mean share because I
Speaker 2: might lose what I have. But you know what, this
Speaker 2: pandemic not only has brought out the old sinfulness of
Speaker 2: our past, but it actually birth new ones. Nona, you know,
Speaker 2: I believe God wants to encourage you today as we
Speaker 2: unpack Romance chapter six, and Paul actually starts with this
Speaker 2: Romans chapter six, verse one. He says, well, then should
Speaker 2: we keep on sinning so that God can show us
Speaker 2: more and more of his wonderful grace? And that is
Speaker 2: the question. And so if God is merciful, if God
Speaker 2: is loving, if God has forgiven me of all my sins,
Speaker 2: you know, God shows you even at your worst, the
Speaker 2: Bible says, and so he will just forgive me. You know,
Speaker 2: some of us might think that way, We would rationalize
Speaker 2: it and say, bahaa man, I need to live out
Speaker 2: my life with this one thing. Bahanaman. It's there forever
Speaker 2: that I can no longer overcome. Maybe the Gospel is
Speaker 2: tell me that what is important is really a place
Speaker 2: for me in heaven with Jesus. But you know what,
Speaker 2: the Gospel is more than that. And I believe that
Speaker 2: as we go through the next verses, as we go
Speaker 2: through one to twelve, today, I believe God will set
Speaker 2: captives free. I believe God will allow us to see
Speaker 2: what it really means. Verse two, it says, of course not.
Speaker 2: It was a very straight answer of Paul, Hello, why
Speaker 2: would you think that way? You know, I've been married
Speaker 2: for eleven years. We celebrated our anniversary yesterday. And one
Speaker 2: of the things that I came to a conclusion with
Speaker 2: when I was having our date known like date comny
Speaker 2: pansa bahhi like take out lahame. You know, I realized
Speaker 2: my wife has grown to be more patient. My wife
Speaker 2: has grown to be more understanding and loving for the
Speaker 2: past eleven years. But do I actually abuse that? Do
Speaker 2: I say to myself and so I can do wrong things?
Speaker 2: Because why she will forgive me? You know, we do
Speaker 2: not respond that way as people of God. We actually
Speaker 2: want to be better ourselves. We want to actually respond
Speaker 2: in why because we have received so much and that's
Speaker 2: why Paul is saying, of course not. You should not
Speaker 2: continue the life of sin. He says, since we have
Speaker 2: died to sin, and how can we continue to live
Speaker 2: in sin? What Paul is saying is that the issue
Speaker 2: that you went through before, Remember I saved you, Saben
Speaker 2: the Lord say, oh, the issue that almost broke your marriage,
Speaker 2: the issue that almost made you bankrupt because of Casino,
Speaker 2: that issue of being unfaithful to your wife. Remember it
Speaker 2: was not worth it. You remember you went to me.
Speaker 2: And so God is saying, why would you want to
Speaker 2: continue to do live life like that? So very excited
Speaker 2: going on, I'm eating my words, and so allow me
Speaker 2: to unpack this word of God today. You know, Paul
Speaker 2: wants us to know a lot of things today. He
Speaker 2: starts with verse three. It says in the ESV version,
Speaker 2: do you not know?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: Does that mean? It's very important for us to know why,
Speaker 2: because knowing is half the battle. If you remember that
Speaker 2: cartoons type in your chat box what that is, Knowing
Speaker 2: is half the battle. If we don't know what it is,
Speaker 2: we won't be able to respond right. And so for Paul,
Speaker 2: he starts with, we need to know. You know, there
Speaker 2: are three people that are tuned in right now. One
Speaker 2: is they think they know, the other is they really
Speaker 2: don't know, and the other one is they have forgotten.
Speaker 2: We all are part of these three segments. And I
Speaker 2: believe this word is timely for you. Say that with me.
Speaker 2: Wherever you are, You may lie down in your couch,
Speaker 2: you may actually cooking dinner right now, just say that
Speaker 2: this word is for me today. As we continue, it
Speaker 2: says you need to know that all of us have
Speaker 2: been baptized into Christ. Jesus were baptized in his death.
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Paul was actually just saying that
Speaker 2: we are already dead to sin and alive in Christ.
Speaker 2: We're actually going to talk about this for the next
Speaker 2: few minutes. What does it really mean to be dead
Speaker 2: to sin and alive in Christ. We need to know
Speaker 2: this as people of God because it will determine how
Speaker 2: we'll live our lives. So what does it mean? Verse four,
Speaker 2: he says, for we died and we were buried. You know,
Speaker 2: a person who is dead needs to be buried. You
Speaker 2: can't be buried if you are alive. And what do
Speaker 2: we see? And when something is dead, that may be
Speaker 2: a plant, that may be a person, that may be
Speaker 2: whatever that is what do we see. You know, it's lifeless.
Speaker 2: It does not respond when you talk to it. It
Speaker 2: won't respond. Why it's dead already. And that's why Paul
Speaker 2: was saying that we need to bury the dead. It's
Speaker 2: not responding anymore. You know. Going through this, studying, this
Speaker 2: preaching all throughout this week, I actually was praying, Lord,
Speaker 2: how do I actually preach this? And God reminded me
Speaker 2: of my old self that I would say to you
Speaker 2: that my dead self, the dead francis the dead to sin.
Speaker 2: You know, I went back memory lane and this is
Speaker 2: what I realized. Lord, Wow, I couldn't imagine living that
Speaker 2: life until today. It gives me the goose bumps now,
Speaker 2: and I'm thankful for it because those things that I
Speaker 2: never want to remember, those things that haunted me in
Speaker 2: my lives, are already dead. The Bible says it was buried, buried,
Speaker 2: It says buried with Christ. By baptism. Paul now actually
Speaker 2: talks about baptism. What is baptism. It's actually immersion when
Speaker 2: when on the Baptist baptized Jesus and Binaptaiza are you
Speaker 2: would actually rise? But the baptism that Paul was talking
Speaker 2: about was the life of Jesus and the death of Jesus,
Speaker 2: and that he actually rose again. I remember when I
Speaker 2: was in Macau Cominilla, Tim and our team went to
Speaker 2: Macau for ten days. We were able and privileged to
Speaker 2: witness and actually baptize the new people who were part
Speaker 2: of victory Macau. And one of them I still remember
Speaker 2: his name is names Jiggy big guy. He's a I
Speaker 2: think around six to one. And guess what we were
Speaker 2: actually baptizing him in a baptub in our hotels. And
Speaker 2: so when Jiggy went in and said, pastor Baha in
Speaker 2: the Omalubug and late Alabast would go Baha me my
Speaker 2: e one me my ew and Acelana in Dina who goes,
Speaker 2: you know, bad water. Baptism is an internal reality of
Speaker 2: what crisis is done. It's a public generation. But when
Speaker 2: we receive and accept and know the story of Christ,
Speaker 2: what we're saying is that we identify with him, we
Speaker 2: are part of him. And that's why when he was submerged,
Speaker 2: when he was baptized, he was actually once again raised
Speaker 2: from the dead, it says, and just Christ was raised
Speaker 2: from the dead by the glorious power of the Father
Speaker 2: now we also may live new lives. Very important to
Speaker 2: know today. What does it mean to be dead to
Speaker 2: sin and alive in Christ? It's this that God has
Speaker 2: given us new life. We have new life in Jesus.
Speaker 2: Say that with me wherever you are, new life in Christ.
Speaker 2: Why is that very important? You know a lot of
Speaker 2: people when they go to God, when they accept God,
Speaker 2: the invitation of God, what would they do. They would
Speaker 2: want the forgiveness, Lord, forgive me, I want to free
Speaker 2: me from this, and so they would receive Christ just
Speaker 2: like an altar call. But what happens. They just want
Speaker 2: the forgiveness, but they continue with the old life. They
Speaker 2: just want the forgiveness of God, but they don't embrace
Speaker 2: the new life. One of the stories that I've always
Speaker 2: share is one of our Victory Weekends where there was
Speaker 2: this girl in Green Hills way back who actually was
Speaker 2: excited to get baptized. But at the same time, as
Speaker 2: soon as she was submerged, nonilu blum a too big
Speaker 2: a maya. We would raise her, you know, we would
Speaker 2: tell them, you know, let this is a celebration, so
Speaker 2: you have to actually declare, shout freedom, I'm free. And
Speaker 2: everyone was celebrating but this one particular woman, as soon
Speaker 2: as she was actually raised a picture of being raised
Speaker 2: with Christ, she actually cried, cried, and you would see
Speaker 2: in her face that it was not a crime. It
Speaker 2: was not tears of joy, but there was sadness. There
Speaker 2: was sorrow, and she was going through a hard time.
Speaker 2: We were concerned, and so one of the victory group leaders,
Speaker 2: her victory group leader, actually talked to her, ministered to her,
Speaker 2: and we learned this. She was so sad, she was crying.
Speaker 2: You know why. You want to know why? Thank you
Speaker 2: for the three people that said why. It's because she
Speaker 2: knew that as soon as she was raised from that water,
Speaker 2: it was also a signal to start a new life.
Speaker 2: It was for her to decide to leave the relationship
Speaker 2: that she was in. It was a wrong relationship that
Speaker 2: she had to leave. It was a wrong relationship that
Speaker 2: she had to break free from. You know what, only
Speaker 2: through a new life that comes from Jesus that we
Speaker 2: can live lives away from our pasts. Amen. Not only
Speaker 2: that verse six, it says we now, yeah, and Manipabasa,
Speaker 2: we know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ,
Speaker 2: so that sin get this. Paul says, lose its power
Speaker 2: in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
Speaker 2: Sin might lose its power in our lives. You know,
Speaker 2: to be slaves is to be powerless. To be slaves
Speaker 2: is to be overpowered by the master. And so the
Speaker 2: question is who is the master? In our past it
Speaker 2: was Sin? But you know what, Jesus turned off that switch.
Speaker 2: Jesus killed the power that no matter how high the
Speaker 2: voltage of sin, there is that how much how you
Speaker 2: are controlled by sin, the vaccina moga. You know what,
Speaker 2: God killed that power. He turned it off. One of
Speaker 2: the things that I've experienced during this pandemic was actually
Speaker 2: to change the battery of our car. And so what
Speaker 2: happened months before the pandemic, we were able to engine
Speaker 2: wash our car and so it's really clean. Soplin is
Speaker 2: in love. It's just having a men. Know, when Indian
Speaker 2: bug starts a big behin Indian battery. I popped the
Speaker 2: hood and I saw it was very clean. It was
Speaker 2: it actually I felt like it was new. But you know,
Speaker 2: when I called Moto light and when they got there,
Speaker 2: this is what he said, sir, put in battery klana,
Speaker 2: not in balatan. So Indian putting and jumps start Cri Lana.
Speaker 2: It's dead. You know, it has no power. It actually
Speaker 2: won't allow your car to move forward. It actually ough't
Speaker 2: allow your car to turn on. There, it won't allow
Speaker 2: you to do anything. Why because it's dead. The battery
Speaker 2: is dead. Why am I saying this? You know, the
Speaker 2: battery actually looks like it had power, but the reality
Speaker 2: is it didn't have any It's just that baggage that
Speaker 2: it's there. It's useless already. And so what am I saying?
Speaker 2: You know what? Sin has lost it power? And this
Speaker 2: is a very powerful moment. If you're at home, if
Speaker 2: you're with someone, say this with me. Sin has lost
Speaker 2: its power over my life. I want you to declare
Speaker 2: that once again, Sin has lost its power in my life.
Speaker 2: You know, when you compare the two batteries, the new
Speaker 2: one and the old one, it was the same model.
Speaker 2: You know, you would look at it and you feel
Speaker 2: like oho. But you know what, God has turned off
Speaker 2: the power of the enemy. God removed the power from them.
Speaker 2: Why is that very important? I want to show you
Speaker 2: a picture of the cross. Do you see that? You
Speaker 2: know this cross actually has sins that are nailed on
Speaker 2: the cross. And this is what Christ not did. If
Speaker 2: you are able to read those sins, whatever has been
Speaker 2: a struggle in your life, you know, the enemy is
Speaker 2: actually sharing to you that it's not actually crucified. As
Speaker 2: if it is, it still has power, but really it
Speaker 2: does not. There is no power in those sins anymore.
Speaker 2: Why it's been nailed on the cross, it's stuck there,
Speaker 2: it's been buried, it's been wiped out clean. Sin has
Speaker 2: no more power in your life. Again, sin has no
Speaker 2: more power in your life. You know, when it tells
Speaker 2: you to do things and you listen to it, it
Speaker 2: actually doesn't have any power. The question is are you
Speaker 2: still listening to that voice? As you continue verse seven,
Speaker 2: it says, for when we died with Christ, we were
Speaker 2: set free from the power of sin, not only sin, powerless,
Speaker 2: what else? Because power? Paul says, we are set free.
Speaker 2: You know, slaves, when they are free, they can do
Speaker 2: anything they want. But some of you might say, lemon
Speaker 2: bro the most sabini. You know, the devil made me
Speaker 2: do it. Hello, why are you doing it? It has
Speaker 2: no power over you. You know I learned this. No,
Speaker 2: just like what I've been preaching today, we need to
Speaker 2: know this. Why because if we don't know. We don't
Speaker 2: know what to do best example, And I love sharing
Speaker 2: this testimony because this is my personal testimony. You know,
Speaker 2: I've been a believer for quite some time. But there
Speaker 2: was this one sin I was talking about a while ago.
Speaker 2: There's this one sin that actually I kept it from
Speaker 2: everyone Lata. I actually did it while nobody's there, so
Speaker 2: that nobody will get hurt. Alamna man Lord beginning as
Speaker 2: having to okuru diba. That's how I rationalized it. I
Speaker 2: was actually addicted to smoking. I smoked a lot, as
Speaker 2: in soul Brah, I smoke three packs a day of
Speaker 2: the tents no, and I was so consumed by it,
Speaker 2: but that even though I wanted to quit, I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I would always say, yohana sah, you got turned them by.
Speaker 2: But taanato, it's gonna kill me, you know, said this
Speaker 2: afternoon as you have done diriching. You know, I was
Speaker 2: addicted to it. I could not get free from it,
Speaker 2: even though it was not good for me. Imagine that.
Speaker 2: But you know, when I learned that there's freedom in Christ,
Speaker 2: I learned that it is not by my might that
Speaker 2: I can win this battle from this addiction, but only
Speaker 2: through Christ. When I learned that it was Christ's battle
Speaker 2: for me. When I learned that I needed to be still,
Speaker 2: when I learned that I needed to surrender it to God.
Speaker 2: You know what happened, miraculously when I prayed to God.
Speaker 2: The next day, there's no craving. Otoma practically stopped. I
Speaker 2: was not. I didn't experience being a cold turkey, a
Speaker 2: hot turkey, a lempo whatever. I was free from it.
Speaker 2: And guess what I actually the next day, I actually
Speaker 2: developed an allergy when I smell smoke. Imagine that from
Speaker 2: being in bondage to smoking to being free. You know,
Speaker 2: sin has no more power in our lives. We need
Speaker 2: to know this. Sin has no more power. And you
Speaker 2: have been set free. We have been set free by Christ.
Speaker 2: You know. The problem is some of you have been
Speaker 2: set free, but you feel like you're still in that cage.
Speaker 2: Some of you are set free already, but you feel
Speaker 2: like Indiannam and Telegray. You know what God is reminding
Speaker 2: you today. You need to know this, that you have
Speaker 2: been set free. And so if the enemy is telling you,
Speaker 2: turn off that preaching now. Macgjosi, you know what that's
Speaker 2: a lie. You know whenever you hear these words India.
Speaker 2: But I need to carry this sin, but I just
Speaker 2: need to hide it forever. You know what, that's a
Speaker 2: lie and it's not you talking. It's the enemy deceiving
Speaker 2: you and lying to you. Why And that's why it's
Speaker 2: very important if you can actually save you know. One
Speaker 2: of the powerful verses that I hold on to is
Speaker 2: this found in James Practical Faith. James four, verse seven
Speaker 2: says submit yourselves therefore to God. We go back to
Speaker 2: God and say, Lord dicto. Just like my story and
Speaker 2: how I got I broke free from that addiction. And
Speaker 2: the important part is this, resist the devil, Resist the devil. Devil, Oh,
Speaker 2: my Lord, forgive me, resist the devil life. Oh, thank
Speaker 2: you Lord. Na going back to the spirit. They need
Speaker 2: this STRUCTI on a calaban. His name is devil, indeed devil.
Speaker 2: Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Isn't
Speaker 2: that encouraging that we can actually live our lives away
Speaker 2: from the enemy. Resist him and he will flee. He
Speaker 2: has no Powerada, no less than I am. As we
Speaker 2: continue verse nine, and Paul gives us a proof of
Speaker 2: why we need to know this and what is the
Speaker 2: most important part that we need to know. Verse nine,
Speaker 2: He says, we are sure of this because Christ was
Speaker 2: raised from the dead and he will never die again.
Speaker 2: That's very important. He did it once. Death has no
Speaker 2: longer Death no longer has any power over him. Verse ten.
Speaker 2: When he he died, he died once to break the
Speaker 2: power of sin. You know, Jesus dying on the cross
Speaker 2: was more than enough. He doesn't need to die and
Speaker 2: die again. He just needs to defeat it one time.
Speaker 2: You know what. We are partakers of that victory, it says,
Speaker 2: But now he lives. We live for the glory of God.
Speaker 2: He lives for the glory of God. This is a
Speaker 2: very important part that we need to know. Paul says,
Speaker 2: we need to know this that Jesus has won the victory.
Speaker 2: It's very important that he has not only did it
Speaker 2: to forgive you, but to give you a free new
Speaker 2: life and to free you from sin. And he turned
Speaker 2: off the power of sin. John eight, verse thirty. Success.
Speaker 2: So if the sun sets you free, you are truly free.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this, and I hope you get this.
Speaker 2: You know, the enemy in calabanat In is one of
Speaker 2: the great deceivers. And even though Talon Nasha sore loser Yan,
Speaker 2: so he will do his best to distract you, to
Speaker 2: get you off your game, so that you will also
Speaker 2: lose in life. But you know what, God has already
Speaker 2: won the victory. Flee, resist the devil, and he will
Speaker 2: flee from you. Amen, it's the devil. Okay, it's not devil,
Speaker 2: all right, as you can tinue you. Verse eleven, Paul says,
Speaker 2: not only do we need to know? He starts with this,
Speaker 2: so you should also consider yourselves to be. What does
Speaker 2: that mean? Consider yourselves to be? It's not only knowing,
Speaker 2: but also believing. Why Because to know is to have
Speaker 2: it here in your mind, but to believe is to
Speaker 2: have it here in your heart. The Bible says we
Speaker 2: need to consider ourselves as if we are already victorious.
Speaker 2: Why because that is the reality. To consider yourselves that
Speaker 2: we are no longer in the power of sin. We
Speaker 2: have changed power. Who is the master of your life? Now?
Speaker 2: It's not sin anymore, it's Jesus. You know. I remember
Speaker 2: the story of a Christian no and he actually went
Speaker 2: in a one way street pandemic man the money quite
Speaker 2: one way milium Basna traffic enforcer answer w w j D.
Speaker 2: What would Jesus. Do it's just Christian Sabina brother, yeah,
Speaker 2: brother with Saba beatitudes. The boss as a beatitude. Blessed
Speaker 2: are the merciful, so that you will also receive mercy.
Speaker 2: So sab traffic enforces to mataua tapos mini antik it.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know what the traffic enforcers said
Speaker 2: to this Christian? You guys want to know. If you
Speaker 2: want to know, just type it. I want to know.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you this is what he said. The
Speaker 2: Bible also says sin no more. You know, the Bible
Speaker 2: will tell us that we can live our lives free
Speaker 2: from sin. Yes, sin is there in front of us. Yes,
Speaker 2: we are not perfect. Yes we will sometimes fall down,
Speaker 2: Yes we will. We're not perfect until we meet Christ.
Speaker 2: Not But you know what, we can actually live our
Speaker 2: lives stop sinning. We can actually have that choice not
Speaker 2: to continue to sin. Why because it has no power
Speaker 2: over us anymore. We are already free from sin verse twelve.
Speaker 2: And before I read this verse and this is our
Speaker 2: last text. You know. Not only is Paul saying that
Speaker 2: we need to know that we are already dead to
Speaker 2: sin and alive in Christ. He says we need to
Speaker 2: believe that we are dead to sin and alive in Christ.
Speaker 2: And that's why, just like my story a while ago,
Speaker 2: Verse twelve actually summarizes this, we need to live it out.
Speaker 2: Do not let sin control the way you live. The
Speaker 2: Bible says, do not give in to sinful desires. So
Speaker 2: the question is what are we doing with our lives.
Speaker 2: Are we accepting defeat or are we believing in declarin
Speaker 2: that we have won the battle over sin? The Bible
Speaker 2: says we are already a new creation. The question is
Speaker 2: how do we respond? How do we live it out?
Speaker 2: I like this verse and I always share this to
Speaker 2: the guys. And I'm talking to the guys, the single
Speaker 2: or married guys. You know, I know you may not
Speaker 2: say it, you may not share it, but there is
Speaker 2: always that temptation in the battle of purity. And I
Speaker 2: want you to keep this verse in heart. I want
Speaker 2: you to keep this Bible verse near you so that
Speaker 2: you can declare it when you are in that situation
Speaker 2: where you and there is temptation coming near you. It
Speaker 2: tells Psalms one one nine, verse nine, how can a
Speaker 2: young person keep his life pure? He can do it
Speaker 2: by holding on to your word. We can actually live
Speaker 2: our lives pure when we hold on to the word
Speaker 2: of God. When we continue to meditate on the word
Speaker 2: of God. You know, I just need to get my
Speaker 2: Bible to just make a point. I'll be back in
Speaker 2: your screen, okay, and I'm back. You know D. L.
Speaker 2: Moody said this. You know this Bible will actually stop
Speaker 2: you from sinning. I'm going to say that again. You
Speaker 2: know this Bible will stop you from sinning. But you
Speaker 2: know what the reality is, sin will also stop you
Speaker 2: to read this Bible. We need to live our lives
Speaker 2: in meditating in the world because this word of God
Speaker 2: is a lamp to our feet that guides us, It
Speaker 2: directs us, It allows us to be free from temptations.
Speaker 2: The Bible says, God will give us an escape from
Speaker 2: the trials that we will go through. You have to
Speaker 2: remember this, and I'm going to end with this where
Speaker 2: we started. We are already what dead to sin and
Speaker 2: alive in Christ. Not only do we need to remind
Speaker 2: ourselves to know, we also need to remind ourselves to believe,
Speaker 2: and we need to live it out. I'm gonna say
Speaker 2: that again. We need to know that we are already
Speaker 2: dead to sin in alive in Christ. We need to
