WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.719 It's all right to cry, so right to fall on 2 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:06.960 your face and to cry out to him for help, 3 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.279 because he's the only one that can help. Then there 4 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.359 will come a place, will peace reign in your heart. 5 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.039 I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven 6 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:21.039 and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, 7 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.839 who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the 8 00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.960 Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, dead and buried. 9 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.200 The third day he rose from the dead. He ascended 10 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.399 into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God, 11 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.359 the Father Almighty. From thence he shall come to judge 12 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.280 the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, 13 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.000 the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness 14 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.600 of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. 15 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:54.200 Amen. We are excited on this Sunday morning, be able 16 00:00:54.240 --> 00:01:01.719 to come back with you all as we explore the 17 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.799 Word of the Lord. For the word of the Lord 18 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:13.200 is powerful, that it's mighty, and we are delighted to 19 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:18.680 be ABU bring you the scriptures before we get into 20 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:24.079 scriptures today, when we get into our study, before we 21 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.719 get into our preachment I want us to take a 22 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.480 few moments to just close our eyes and to think 23 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.879 of a few things that we are grateful for for gratitude, 24 00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.480 and it's for as much as going on in the world, 25 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:47.640 we have so much to be thankful. Take a nice 26 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.079 breath in and just be grateful for the ability to breathe, 27 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:58.760 grateful for the ability to think. Grateful for for another. 28 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.519 There's some families that are probably going through some difficulties. 29 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.879 Let us get our mind's eye on them and just 30 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:16.000 pray that God would send us for comfort. Let them 31 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.280 know that they're not by themselves. Although they might be 32 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.120 alone in their apartments, they might be alone in theirs, 33 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.759 they might be attempting to pull the pieces of life 34 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.240 back together again, but they are not alone. Gratefully, lod 35 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.039 got to thank you for another day and thank you 36 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.879 for your words. We pray that these words would bring 37 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.800 life and healing to those who listen, and that you 38 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.840 would get the glory out of all that we do. 39 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:49.240 In Jesus's name. Bay God and a man Romans. We 40 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:56.080 started and we talked about the five threes one through five, 41 00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.800 and we talked about the progression patience work experience, work 42 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.000 makes no shame. The love of God is spread abroad 43 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.319 in the heart and our hearts by the aid of 44 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.639 the Holy Spirit, which is given to us through Christ. 45 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.719 And he starts with by fame, we are justified by faith. 46 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.360 I want to begin at the sixth verse six, seven 47 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.000 and eight. For when we were yet without strength, in 48 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.919 due time, Christ died for the ungotten, for scarcely a 49 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.360 righteous man. Will one die yet preadventure for a good man. 50 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.599 Someone even did to die. But God commended his love 51 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.080 towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ 52 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:48.759 for us. God yet commends his love towards us, in 53 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:54.199 that while we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us. 54 00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:05.280 As we look at the unfolding of Pole's mindset when 55 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:14.439 it relates to what makes a believer have access to God? 56 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.079 With grants a believer peace with God? What grants a 57 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.879 believer hope with God? With grants a believer oneness with God, 58 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:35.560 he is faced with the obstacle of understanding that humanity 59 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:41.199 in itself is flawed, that humanity in itself is flawed. 60 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:46.279 So now, how do we operate in knowing that all 61 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.600 humans are bored, or humans are sinful or have a 62 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.399 sin nature? How do we operate within the paradigms of 63 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.560 us being one with God, or having peace with God, 64 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.639 or having knowledge of God, or of being just by God, 65 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:07.040 or having access to Him who is transcending and holy. 66 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.800 And I know myself that I am not transcendent, that 67 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.560 I am not holy, that I am none of these things. 68 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.839 So I have to find a way to reconcile where 69 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:22.920 I am personally and where He has shown me I 70 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:28.160 should be. Positionally, where I am personally and where I 71 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.240 am seen to be or declared to be. Positionally, my 72 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:37.040 personal being is the things that I do, the place 73 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:41.279 that he faces me and is his own decree. He 74 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:47.079 defrees my righteousness, Therefore I'm right. He decrees my peace. 75 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.800 Therefore I have peace. He defrees my access, and yet 76 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.480 therefore I have access because the same one who deprees 77 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.639 my peace, the same one who decrees says, the same 78 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.519 one who decrees my justice, also decreed that the world 79 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.240 would come into existence through his words. His words are good, 80 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.959 His words establishes. So it is now his word that 81 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.519 establishes me and decrees me to be what he declares 82 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:22.360 me to be. He declares me to be right with him. 83 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.759 It doesn't matter if I don't feel right. The declaration 84 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.600 is over my head. Doesn't matter if a seasons I 85 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.000 may not act right. The declarations are over my head. 86 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:37.360 He gives us sistic knowing that we would struggle with 87 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:42.360 the decree that is over our heads and the thing 88 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:48.000 that he declares us to be. The fight is not 89 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.920 his declaration over my life. The fight is what I at, 90 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.480 what I'm doing with my life. The fight is never 91 00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.839 the declaration I'm declared to be right, But the fighter 92 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:05.120 is the fact that I don't feel rights don't align 93 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.199 with the decree that he has over my life. When 94 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.000 you look at certain instances in life and stories where 95 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:20.480 we see people come into major funds, they may hit 96 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:27.040 the lottery and they win millions, sometimes thousands, sometimes millions 97 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:33.000 of dollars after taxes, and the declaration is that they 98 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:38.240 are a millionaire. But their actions may not align with 99 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:48.160 the declaration. In this instance, their actions will reduced their finances. 100 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:52.079 And I believe the number was in the high eighties 101 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:57.079 percent of people that win the lotto actually go back 102 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.680 to where their mindset was. But this is not what 103 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.480 happens in God. Although my mind is not what he 104 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:12.439 declares me to be, he doesn't allow my mind to 105 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.199 retrace his declaration to where I am. He doesn't allow 106 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:23.199 my low grade thinking to change his declaration over my life. 107 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:28.360 I'm so glad that, unlike in finances, or unlike in relationships, 108 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.279 or unlike in health conditions, my mind can control my 109 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.000 subconscious and allow my subconscious to bring me to the 110 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.840 outcome that I desire in the subconscious mind. So if 111 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.279 I'm thinking low grade thinking in the area of finances, 112 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.679 although my bank account declares that I'm a millionaire, my 113 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:53.279 mind will allow my bank account to retrace back to 114 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:57.320 where I am at mentally. But that does not work 115 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.799 in his declarations over our lives. See, what he declares 116 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.879 is stagnant and it is standing on his promises. So 117 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.039 although a conscious mind is telling me I'm not worthy 118 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.159 of peace, I'm not worthy of access, I'm not worthy 119 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.320 to be just by my faith, he does not waver 120 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.120 by what I don't believe. He just continues to bless 121 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.960 me until I do believe. He works with the believer 122 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.919 to get the believer to the place where our belief 123 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:38.480 is in the line with his declaration. Works with us 124 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:45.519 through the fire, He gets in the fire, with us, 125 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:51.440 through the flood. He gets in the flood with us, 126 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:58.000 through the famine, he gets into famine with us, and 127 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:02.000 in the famine he makes a way out of no way. 128 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.480 So we start to make slogans like he make a 129 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:10.000 way out of no way. He's brag the famine when 130 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:17.759 I'm hungry, that health conditions that will sel punctures, will say, 131 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.240 how can I have peace when my body is wrapped 132 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.440 with pain? And He'll get there in the body and 133 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:29.879 in pain and allow us to come away with declarations 134 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:35.600 as if he's a doctor in the sick room. He 135 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.679 moves me now from one level of faith to another 136 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.919 level of faith. He does not allow my low level 137 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:49.320 of faith impact the declaration that he has over my life. 138 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:54.159 So what maybe some of the things that would allow 139 00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:01.200 me to think that he doesn't know about me? What 140 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:07.919 would be some thing that will impact in my mind's 141 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:17.279 how he feels about me. My acts in seasons or 142 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:25.279 at times are now god My words are not god 143 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:30.720 like at times, my thought processes are not godlike. At 144 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:35.440 times I can just get out of prayer and get angry. 145 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.440 At times I have a hard time of forgiving people. 146 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.559 I have a hard time of judging people. I'm just 147 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.159 not where I want to be. I maybe struggling in 148 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.080 areas in my life that I am ashamed of. So 149 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.120 how can he make the decree over my life when 150 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:59.480 I'm struggling? Get to scriptures like this for when we 151 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:05.039 were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for 152 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:11.480 the ungodly. Know that this is all encompassing with Chapter 153 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:18.120 five one, verses one through six. This is all encompassing 154 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:26.440 with Romans one, two, three, four, and five. This is 155 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.600 not an isolated text, meaning that everything that he wrote 156 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.799 before it was leading to this, and everything that he 157 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.720 writes after the text is a continuation of everything that 158 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.320 he wrote before, and everything that we're looking at right now, 159 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:44.360 and everything that he will write later on. In so 160 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:50.200 much so that every other boat that he writes aligns 161 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.080 with this thought process. That God did not die for 162 00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:00.320 righteous people. He died for ungodly people who were lacking 163 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:05.080 while I was without strength. This word strength is not 164 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:11.080 the physical of the body. This word strength implies the 165 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.320 spiritual lack, the spiritual dehydration that we are born in. 166 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:21.600 Man is born into sin and shapen in iniquity. That's 167 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:26.480 why man understands our short comings and we keep our 168 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.360 shirt comings before us Jesus in fact, when he teaches 169 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.279 about forgiveness and he teaches about humanity, and it gives 170 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:39.200 his achromorphic statement and declaration. He says, you're busy looking 171 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:44.440 at the mote, which means a little speckle of dust 172 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.759 in your someone else's eye, instead of focusing in on 173 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.799 the being, which is a big a piece of wood 174 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:59.519 that becomes the foundation portion of a building. When you're 175 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:05.000 on the floor, you're standing not on wood, not on 176 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:10.159 a rug, you're standing on beans. The beans now goes 177 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:14.440 into the skits of the wall to you'll support for 178 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:21.159 the foundation. And what he's saying is you're looking, you sinner, 179 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:25.279 looking at the struggle of dust in someone else's eye 180 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:30.080 while you ignore the big bean in your eye that 181 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.639 should impede you from looking at someone else. What are 182 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.919 you trying to say? That you're ungodly and every time 183 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.799 you look out, you look through untodly eyes. If it 184 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.039 had not been for his faith that he gives us 185 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.559 and grants us as a gift, if it had not 186 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.759 been for his son that he's sent to die on 187 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:54.399 our behalf, we would only have our beans to look 188 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.480 at and behold in our eyes. But the reason why 189 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:01.519 we look at someone else's note else is specle of us. 190 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.840 The reason why we measure their sins to our sins, 191 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.120 the reason why we measure other people lives to our lives, 192 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.120 is because when we really lay down in our beds 193 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.080 at night, we know that we don't fit the bill. 194 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:22.200 We are spiritually without strength, for when we were yet 195 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:32.360 without strength. What happens in due time? Some writings would 196 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.639 say at the set time or at the appointed time, 197 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:40.799 so that you won't think that Christ just died out 198 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:45.399 of chance. Oh, it was the set time. It was 199 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.480 the due time. It was the right time. Stars had 200 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.879 been predicted to aligne the night that he was born, 201 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:05.159 and the Israelites had been placed in Rome when it 202 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.960 was time for his death. It wasn't by chance that 203 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:15.840 the Israelites were under the rule of the Roman Empire, 204 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:28.320 who would use capital punishment hanging on the tree, because 205 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:33.559 the scriptures would predict that first is the man that 206 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.720 hang on the tree. As you look throughout all of 207 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:43.039 Jewish literature, you will see that they were summons to 208 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:46.960 stone to death. They were summoned to use are the 209 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.519 forms of capital punishment. But the Christ now comes at 210 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:57.240 the set time where they were under someone else's rulership. 211 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.440 They were not their role nation. They were a nation 212 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:09.519 of people abiding by spiritual laws of their ancestors, but 213 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:20.079 they were governed by Roman Empire, goven by Romans laws. 214 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.559 The sat time when they send Christ to there was 215 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:31.839 a discrepancy because the Romans didn't understand the laws by 216 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:38.400 which Christ was guilty of. He was guilty not according 217 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:46.119 to Roman law. That's why he sends them back. They're 218 00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.079 sending them back and forth because they didn't understand that 219 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:55.000 they were governing, they were being governed by a greater decree, 220 00:17:55.319 --> 00:18:02.480 greater law. In fact, they were so confused, the scholars 221 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.960 in their top they were so confused. They couldn't bring 222 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:09.279 him the trial because he was not guilty of any 223 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:17.200 kind of laws against their social laws against their government. 224 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:25.200 He was guilty of laws that they didn't understand. But 225 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.839 they knew that they had a man in custody who 226 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.799 was a murderer. He was seditious, he was a robber. 227 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.480 They could wrap their mind around that it actually the 228 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.799 place of the cross was set for him in their 229 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:43.640 mind because they didn't understand that this was set tone. 230 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.400 His wife wakes up and has a dream and she 231 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.279 says the man that you're holding, the man that they 232 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:58.960 want to crucify, he's holy, nothing's wrong with him. This 233 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:03.079 man king, the man in charge, wipes his hands and says, 234 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:04.880 I don't have anything to do with this. I don't 235 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:12.000 want my hands on this innocent man's blood. But the 236 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:19.319 heart of the people was already set to mend it 237 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:26.680 the head of Christ. They demanded the head of Christ 238 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.279 because it was the due time. It was the secon time, 239 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.079 it was the appointed time for Christ to die. But 240 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:39.039 Christ's death was not in vain. Not only was it 241 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:47.039 for a due time, but it was also for adu people. 242 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.720 Does not orchestrate all of the angelic hosts to be 243 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:54.920 singing in heaven, the sun to refuse to shine, the 244 00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:00.359 dead in Christ to rise, the Shenanikins that was going 245 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.319 on at the moment of Christ's death. He orchestraints this 246 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:08.960 for a set people, and the scripture says that at 247 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.720 the right to help. Christ died for a group of people. 248 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:26.160 What group of people that he died for? Christ dies for? Yeah, 249 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.200 about that for a moment if you would that he 250 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:35.319 does not die. The scriptures is very specific. Romans Chapter five, 251 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:39.160 verse six does not say that while we were yet 252 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.839 with our strengths in due time, Christ died for the rich. 253 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.400 Does not say while we were yet without strength in 254 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:55.240 due time, Christ died for Caucasians. Does not say that 255 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:57.559 in due time, while we were yet with our strengths, 256 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:05.000 Christ died for African Americans or black Christ died for 257 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:10.119 the jew Christ died for the women. Christ dies for 258 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:14.880 the people that are last and forgotten. Doesn't say that 259 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:18.319 Christ died for the homosexual, Christ died for the transgender. 260 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.960 It doesn't say that Christ died for those who struggle 261 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:26.480 in cocaine addictional the alcoholic. It doesn't say specifically that 262 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:31.799 Christ died for the rich, and say that Christ died 263 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:35.680 for the poor. I want to paint this picture, y'all. 264 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:44.880 It says that Christ died for the young godly that 265 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:50.279 encompasses all races, that encompasses all sins that accomplass encompasses 266 00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.880 sinners from all over all nations. Every tongue who needs 267 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.720 shall bow at that name which is above every name, 268 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.480 out of that, out of all of the world, there 269 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:05.599 are sinners that Christ calls his own. Aren't you glad 270 00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:08.640 that you're one of those sinners who He does not 271 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.680 allow you to approach his father and his father's gait 272 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:20.839 in your sin, because Christ died for that. The justice 273 00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:24.799 that we have to be justified is not ours again, 274 00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:28.279 it is a justice that belongs to Him, that he 275 00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.519 shares with us freely, and he freely gives it to 276 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:37.400 those who are which causes me to ponder, how do 277 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:42.160 we know, as representatives of Him who know that we 278 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:47.119 have this problem of being ungodly? Look at the mote 279 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:52.559 in someone else's out by patters, the biggings in our 280 00:22:52.599 --> 00:23:04.200 own render judgment because too are struggling in their existence. 281 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.960 They may not know that Christ died for the ungodly, 282 00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:11.880 so it's not my job to tell them what their sins. 283 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:13.880 They deal with it every day. My job is to 284 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:17.519 remind them, or to inform them, or to instruct them. 285 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.319 Christ died for the young godly. I don't know if 286 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.160 he can help me. I don't know if I can 287 00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.119 make it through this storm. I don't know if my 288 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:31.759 past will impede my future, and may be tree that 289 00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:34.319 He has on my life. Let me tell you something, 290 00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:40.920 you ungodly persons that are listening to this message. It's 291 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.759 all right to cry, so right to fall on your 292 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.119 face and to cry out to him for help, because 293 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.759 he's the only one that can help. Then there will 294 00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:57.519 come a place with peace rein in your heart. Tell 295 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:02.000 you to read through these scriptures, and you'll see ungodly 296 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:09.400 men from Adam all the way through the apostles and disciples. 297 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:18.319 But there is one righteous man lays down his life. 298 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:23.039 And if you believe in your heart, confess with your 299 00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:29.200 mouth that your sins have been forgiven by this man. 300 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:36.519 This poor man empties himself fall of his righteousness, and 301 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:43.559 he becomes sin so that we don't have to stand 302 00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:51.400 before his father, alienated from his righteousness, but that we 303 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:58.480 might come as brothers and sisters, participating in partakers in 304 00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:04.880 his holiness. He declares us to be sanctified. He sets 305 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.240 us apart. That's what it means to be sanctified. He 306 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.559 sets us apart, and he calls us his spaccia children 307 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:21.039 sons and his daughters, his royal priestly. In this day 308 00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:29.519 where it seems as if darkness wins, that hope is gone, 309 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.759 wars that happen, and people are afraid of their shadows, 310 00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:37.720 their soul free, and when it seems as if no 311 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:43.880 one cares, we come to the place where we find 312 00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:48.480 out that he who is in control is the one 313 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.079 that really cares, and due at the set time the 314 00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:57.519 appointed to him, Christ dies or the ungodly a few 315 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.519 more moments. I want to up these next verses, and 316 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.160 we'll probably pick up from this book. Watch what he 317 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.960 says as he presses on for scarcely for a righteous man, 318 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.599 will one die yet readventure for a good man. Some 319 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.240 would even dare to die. But God commended his love 320 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.920 towards us, and that while we were yet sinners, Christ 321 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:23.599 died for us. I want you to say that with me. 322 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.720 I know we all know the John three sixteen verse, 323 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:32.319 and I'm going to read that in your ear before 324 00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:37.839 I reread first story. We just read that John brings 325 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:44.279 sixteen verse says, for God so loved the world that 326 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:49.039 he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believe in him. 327 00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:54.880 But they're not pirric But they, y'all have everlasting life. 328 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.279 We know that, and we understand that, and we celebrate 329 00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.279 in that. Even in the next verse where it says, 330 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.279 for God sent not his son into the world to 331 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.599 condemn the world, but that the world through him might 332 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:16.039 be saved. But here Paul puts the same type of 333 00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:20.359 emphasis on the same message. But he wants us to 334 00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:25.279 really rup our minds around us, if you would, as 335 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:31.079 we go so the day for scarcely a righteous for 336 00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:35.559 a righteous man, will one die yet preadventure for a 337 00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:39.480 great man. Some would even dare to die. But God 338 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.319 commended his love towards us in that while we were 339 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:50.400 yet sinners, Christ died for us. He commends his love. 340 00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:54.359 He sends his love there is There are narratives and 341 00:27:54.519 --> 00:28:00.960 doctrines that will teach us that God was the Father 342 00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:10.759 was sitting on his throne, falling apart because humanity fell. 343 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:14.000 He doesn't know what he's gonna do, and he's holding 344 00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:17.920 his head and he's saying, oh, Adam and Eve fell, 345 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.799 and I don't have a plan, and I don't know 346 00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:23.079 what I'm gonna do. I don't know how I'm gonna 347 00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:27.480 redeem man. And his son now hugs at his throat 348 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:32.640 and he says, Father, don't ruin him. Father, don't kill them. 349 00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:34.960 They are good people. There's some people down there that 350 00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:39.599 are worth redeeming. Don't kill them. Send me, I'll go 351 00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:47.359 redeem him. That's not the scriptures. The scriptures declare that 352 00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.279 in his infinite wisdom before man fell. He already knew 353 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.839 that he would send the lamb that will be slain 354 00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:58.519 on our behalf. The son did not volunteer to come. 355 00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:03.440 The father who you us declared, and he commends his 356 00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.359 son to come. He sends his son to come so 357 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:09.720 much so that when his son was in the garden 358 00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:15.240 about to face death, the son goes down to the garden, 359 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.720 brings his friends along, and he prays, Father, what you 360 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:21.920 remains this bitter cup? I know there has to be 361 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.519 another way that I can redeem it without laying doll 362 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:33.160 my life. But the father sends injurls to minister to 363 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.720 the son, and the son gets the strength and he declares, 364 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.480 not my will, but fine will be done. I don't 365 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.519 know who I'm talking to, but somebody or to get 366 00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:48.519 excited at the fact that the son continues to push 367 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.759 past the thing that he feared, or pushed past the 368 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.240 thing that was bitter to him, or pushed past the 369 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.359 cup that was before him, and he calls all way 370 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.079 to death, to the place where he takes the steam 371 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.279 out of death. He goes down into the grave, to 372 00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:09.359 the place where he robs the grave of his victory. 373 00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:15.440 One day, this physicality, we'll go to dust where it 374 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:20.480 was created. But death cannot hold my soul, because my 375 00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:24.680 soul makes this boast in the Lord when he leaves 376 00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:30.079 this earth. The ciples were standing there looking up in amazement, 377 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.799 and he looks down at them and says, why are 378 00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:36.039 you standing there gazing? Go tell it on the mountain. 379 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.400 Go tell everybody that I did not just die, but 380 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:43.759 I rose with all power in my hands. Go tell 381 00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:47.440 the handmaiden and the hor manger. Go tell those struggling 382 00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:51.160 in sexuality, and those who are too promiscuous. Go tell 383 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.160 the halic and the pen Go tell the crack hand 384 00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.920 and the alcoholic, the cigarette smoking, the fornicator. Go and 385 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:01.599 tell the world that I died for the ungodly, so 386 00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:05.559 they don't have to face their father and their sins. 387 00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:07.920 And I not only died for them, but I covered them, 388 00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:14.079 covered them in righteousness. I covered them in my blood, 389 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:22.039 covered them. They don't have to face the true judging, 390 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:30.799 righteous judge that will say to some depart from me, 391 00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:37.400 I don't know you. You fed your family, but I was hungry, 392 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:42.480 and you fed me not. You fed your church members, 393 00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.559 but I knocked thrown the dark, and you said, I 394 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:52.640 don't have access because I'm not a member. You visited 395 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:54.960 the sick, you visited your mom, you visited your dad, 396 00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.680 you called your cousin. But I was sick and you 397 00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:02.079 didn't come see about me. I was widowed, and you 398 00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:07.000 left me and my family to fend for myself because 399 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.359 I wasn't a part of your organization. I wasn't a 400 00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.920 part of your views. You walk over me because you 401 00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:18.440
