Tests That Every Christian Pass (part 2) - [1 John]

00:00
Father we thank you for this morning. We thank you for the beauty of all that you've created for this building that we have to meet in for For everything that you've given us
00:13
We know that you are the giver of good gifts and it is a blessing and a joy to be here this morning
00:18
Lord, would you bless our time this morning as we look? To your word as we study various aspects kind of review the things that we've been doing for Many months
00:29
Lord, would you bless this time in Christ's name? Amen Well, this is a midterm quiz
00:37
So I will be collecting these please put your name on them. They'll be graded. No, I'm not grading them, but I Thought it would be good, you know, because it's one thing.
00:46
Here's what here's what I do in the IBS classes that I teach and in case you ever take one of my classes you'll
00:55
Be familiar with my methodology, I think that what helps people is To learn and that's why we come here whether we're sitting in the pews or Whatever the situation is whether we're here in a sermon or a class or whatever is we want to learn we want to Have things impressed upon our minds so that we can use them later
01:16
So if I simply speak and you listen That's one form of learning and people do that quite well
01:24
Some people other people learn by Doing other people learn by hearing over and over again
01:33
So I like to quiz people because you teach the material In fact, I usually like to have people read before they take a quiz, but you read
01:42
You teach you quiz and it's repetition repetition repetition and guess what people remember more that way.
01:50
So This morning we're going to Go over a few things that we've gone over in the last really a couple of years that I've been doing this class
02:00
But first I want to make a clarification I received a really just a very nice Letter in the mail this week.
02:07
Someone asked you a question about something I said a few weeks ago about Zane Hodges and I won't say whom or who but somebody in my
02:17
Household made the comment that maybe I Hadn't been as clear on this as I could be.
02:24
So Let me just say Zane Hodges said something in effect. He had someone at his church who?
02:31
basically or he knew of a man who had been in the ministry and had You know taught the
02:36
Bible and then turned completely against it and spent all of his time or a good portion of his time
02:42
You know belittling the Bible the gospel of Christ and Hodges made a statement, you know, isn't it great that we have a
02:50
God who's so Compassionate that he can kind of overlook that sort of thing or something like that You know once saved always saved you make that profession of faith and you're in the kingdom
03:02
You know the lesson was on obedience and I Don't want to flog a dead horse but the point is you can't just say that you're a
03:13
Christian and then live however you want and You know expect to hear at the end what you know, you're standing in front of Christ of judgment well done good and faithful servants even though you blasphemed me and you taught against Everything that I ever taught good job.
03:29
No, that's not gonna happen It's gonna be depart from me you worker of iniquity. So you cannot do what
03:36
Hodges was suggesting? That is just impossible You know as you were looking through first John the last few weeks
03:44
What does John say, you know if you? Yeah, if you if you love
03:53
Christ you keep his commandments And if you don't love Christ, you're not going to inherit the kingdom of heaven.
03:58
So anyway, let's get on to the quiz What are the four W's Not the
04:08
J W's the four W's. Yes, Eric Okay, that's very close
04:20
Have a little thing on number three and there's a reason why I think number three should be a little bit different Go ahead
04:28
Brian What did Jesus do? I mean we could say what has God done for man?
04:34
That's true But I think it's important that you know in our minds that we we want to bring up the central point of the gospel is
04:42
Jesus and we want to bring him up so but and Why are those critical?
04:49
Why is it critical to know that it's the gospel message
04:55
And you know our pastor often says you should be ready to preach prayer die in a moment's notice And we think of that in terms of you know
05:01
Well, we want the men at BBC to be ready You know if Mike goes if he stands up to walk up to the front he dies of a heart attack
05:08
We want somebody else to be able to stand up in the pulpit That might be a dramatic example, but Point is let's say pastor
05:16
Mike got hung up at the airport until You know eight o 'clock this morning, and he passed out when he got home and nobody can wake him up Somebody needs to preach this morning, but isn't that true of everyone shouldn't you be ready to preach the gospel on a moment's notice?
05:34
And if you have the four W's Memorized then you could do that so on to question number two if you had to could you give the gospel in three minutes?
05:45
Well if you have the four W's memorized you could how about in one minute the one minute gospel
05:56
Anybody want to take that challenge? Okay, Brian. You're on.
06:17
Okay. You still got 45 seconds. Yeah, no
06:22
I That is the heart of the gospel right and so if he was just if Brian just added something and said you know
06:29
God is holy Never since can't sin There's a part from sin won't allow sin into his presence man is a sinner
06:35
And this is what you need to do then that's exactly right I mean you could you could literally give the gospel if you had to if you could somehow
06:44
You could give the gospel in 30 seconds or less Brian just basically did it in 30 seconds. You know 15 seconds
06:53
Now here's a is a tougher question could you give the gospel in 30 minutes? Why is that a harder question?
07:02
That's right Peggy says because you need to have more information It might be one thing you know okay. I've got the four
07:08
W's down. I can give them in 30 seconds I can give them in a minute two minutes three minutes.
07:13
Okay, now you've got 30 minutes I'm pretty good for the first two and a half minutes after that not so much
07:21
It just allows you to go into more depth Brian okay,
07:38
Brian says that if MacArthur said that if he had an hour with a man on an airplane He'd spend 55 minutes basically doing what
07:45
I mean if we could summarize that preaching the law Yeah expanding the gap you know pointing out the the the infinite gap that exists between Holy God and sinful man why?
08:06
People's view of God today is very small Daniel says that's right I mean what we need to do is we really need to build the biblical case for the need for a
08:15
Savior Could you do it? You know with your
08:22
Bible. I hope you can do it with your Bible now that you know Somebody says well, I have 30 minutes without my
08:28
Bible. What would I say? The point here is the more you know about the gospel the more about you know about the
08:36
Bible the more information you have to give to somebody else and that's Where we need to to live
08:44
Number three if your mind goes blank I hear that you know I had a perfect opportunity on mine went blank
08:53
And out of the blue someone asked you what must I do to inherit eternal life? What can you say without even thinking what's that?
09:04
Repent believe I'm after something more basic though. I mean you know you go. What is that pastor
09:09
Mike talks about the Ford? Is it the four V's? Victory You know is it the four
09:18
B's? Be a good person no, that's not right wait if you if you're if your mind just went absolutely blank
09:26
What could you tell someone? You can't think of a single Bible verse you can't think you can't remember anything you've ever heard in church
09:37
Testimony, I heard who was that Scott Brown give him a gold star. Yes, if you can't tell somebody what
09:44
God did in your life Forget about yeah Let's take that out of the tape
09:51
Putting aside What the Bible says you know your mind just goes blank, and you're just like oh, man I I can't think of anything you know as Romans even a book in the
10:00
Bible I Can't think of anything well, I certainly know what
10:05
God did in my own life. I know who I was Before I got saved.
10:10
I know the changes that God has brought about in me if I can't give my testimony You know just without even really having to think about it, then
10:19
I'm not To put it the way some people have put it here lately. I'm not preaching the gospel of myself
10:26
I'm not focused enough on the grace of God in my own life I'm not waking up in the morning going.
10:32
You know what this hurts that hurts, but God is good because This is where I'd be apart from God this where I'd be apart from Christ This is where I'd be apart from grace
10:43
This is where I I mean if you start thinking in that way if you take inventory of your life And you think these are all the things that God has done for me well when someone asks you
10:53
You know what must I do to be saved you might go I don't know, but I can tell you how God saved me there has to be
11:03
Gospel within you You know at the very least it is what God has done on your behalf
11:10
Should you have the four W's memorized? I think that'd be helpful. You know is there a biblical mandate no Should you be ready to give a reason for the hope that is within you
11:20
I Think you should be ready because if you're not ready, then it says something about the way you're thinking
11:29
Number four any other comments on that before we move on number four which of the following are
11:38
Accurate are our edited portrayals who types this stuff up Which which of the following are accurate portrayals?
11:49
I was gonna say accurately portray then instead I you know put Endings on both of them accurately portrayed
11:57
Jesus is teaching and why or why not a Christians may not serve in the military or as police officers boy this guy's really bad writes this stuff
12:11
What's wrong with that is there anything wrong with that is that accurate why would somebody say that pacifism okay
12:29
Okay, misunderstanding one of the commandments Okay, turn the other cheek applies to nations.
12:39
Yep, some people would say that Jesus say blessed are the peacemakers
12:48
Yeah, Karen. You live by the sword. You'll die by the sword and I think the key though is people go to scriptures, and they have
13:03
Misunderstandings and they come away with things like this Be one of the keys to the
13:08
Christian life is giving away all your possessions and refusing to gather anymore I Didn't make these things up you know as poorly edited as they are
13:19
I actually kind of paste them off somebody's Bloggings on the internet these are the things that they actually believe about Christianity Okay, which is which is different though.
13:34
We have to be willing Scott says it's different from One of the keys I mean think about what that says one of the keys the
13:40
Christian life is giving away all your possessions Refusing to gather anymore who does that? Monks yeah, yeah, you go, and you you know lock yourself up, and I was gonna say the
13:55
Himalayas But let's just say you know the mountains in Rome It doesn't really matter where you you know the the idea is
14:01
I'm so holy that I'm not going to own anything and Where would people get an idea like that?
14:09
Matthew 19 which says Okay, okay
14:17
So they said Brian said you know he told the rich young ruler give away all he had
14:23
Pam said He didn't tell other people to do that. Why did he address it to the rich young ruler? Because he thought he was righteous and Carl says because his
14:35
God was his possessions Which are both correct, and you know someone else may say then well look at Matthew 6 and it says
14:44
Matthew 6 19 Do not store for yourselves treasures on earth or moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal see
14:54
Don't do that Jesus said it keep reading, but store for yourselves treasures in heaven well
15:05
Oh keep reading for where your treasure is there your heart will be also, and that's the point isn't it?
15:13
It's not a matter of wealth is not inherently evil It's what you cherish.
15:19
It's what you value point number C kind of Referred to already
15:26
Christians must refuse to defend themselves Physically or legally is that is that true, okay?
15:44
Paul used the Roman law, but we know Paul was a rogue I mean there are
15:51
You know you're so blessed if you don't live in the kind of world where people say things like you know
15:57
Jesus didn't invent Christianity Paul did All sorts of bizarre things out there, but what would it mean that you could not defend yourself legally?
16:10
What's the I'm sorry?
16:17
Against another believer Shouldn't be going to court against other believers why
16:28
Because you should handle it within the house of God, that's right, and what else Brian oh Dave well, and I mean to just kind of take what pastor
16:48
Dave said and sort of put it in a maybe a plainer Context believer a believer be go to court before unbeliever
16:59
What We can't resolve this biblically You know so we need you mr.
17:05
Unbeliever to give us your wisdom to apply the law of the land since we can't seem to Work out the law of God between us
17:14
That that's a like pastor Dave was saying that's a horrible testimony. It's terrible believer against professing believer well,
17:26
I you know That's a good point. I Once received counsel you know along the lines of well
17:37
From the elders of the church, I was at you know basically well based on What this person is doing we would have no reason to think that they're a believer
17:50
So I think in that case you know it would be wise to get counsel, but I think that's a valid point You know if someone says
17:56
I'm a believer, and then they refuse to submit to the Word of God well, then You know there's an issue there now
18:03
They may not that they may not agree, and they may sit down and go you know I don't think you have this right
18:09
And then they but there should be biblical arguments and biblical weight on their side and in most cases
18:15
That's not what happens. They just don't want to do something not wanting to do something doesn't mean it's the right thing to do
18:23
II Or I'm sorry deep Christians can never be attracted to anyone other than his or her spouse really who did write this isn't just terrible yet must have a radio turned up too loud
18:42
What's wrong with that thinking there is there anything wrong with them is that right what did
18:53
Jesus say? You can never find someone attractive so the question isn't whether you
19:06
See someone and I'm not suggesting you wander down the street going. Oh, let's see who I can find attractive today
19:13
Point is if you saw someone or you met someone and you thought that person is attractive, then what's your response to that?
19:22
It's always a matter of the heart. It's not a matter of gee I saw this person. I found this person attractive
19:28
It's a question. What do you do after that which is you know what Jesus says it is wrong to?
19:35
lust after someone else to desire them to Really kind of focus on someone else when
19:46
Paul writes about being a one -woman man his intent isn't that you know
19:55
Isn't that you cannot see anyone else it's that for all intents and purposes
20:01
No one else exists in this sense that your affections your desires are all toward your
20:08
Wife toward your spouse and that's that's the point so the idea Never be attracted.
20:16
I think it's that's kind of a nebulous term in an unbiblical term. We want to be Biblical you know you can never
20:23
Lust after someone other than his or her spouse that would be correct I suppose it depends on how you define attracted, and I don't really want to define it since it's non -biblical term lust is the standard
20:37
II Christians must be servants to all Is that right or wrong thinking?
20:52
Okay, Jesus said that he came not to Be served but to serve and to give his life of a ransom for many
20:59
Brian, okay?
21:10
Yeah, you cannot serve two masters. Oh, yeah, if you include Satan and all then
21:16
I would be wrong It's that all term. I think the idea was all people Christians must be servants to all
21:29
Servants of the church yeah, yeah, what'd you say
21:37
Daniel? Witnesses a service yeah, so I think there's a really there's a sense and again.
21:43
I think it gets down to definitions I think this is probably too broad, but I think there's a sense in which this is true
21:49
You know are you a servant of unbelievers? Well as Daniel says yes in the sense that you want to Provide the truth to them are you a servant to your brother or sister in Christ well?
22:00
Yeah? So I mean, I think they're they're you know Satan, thanks Brian Yeah, that would be that would be wrong, but you know in terms of Humanity I think we do need to view ourselves plus think about it this way if you are if you have a
22:21
Philippians to mindset where you're going to put others the interest of others before yourself regardless of whether They're in the body of Christ or not
22:29
The answer to e is definitely going to be yes, you're gonna view yourself that way
22:35
F Now this is just crazy talk to me
22:42
Christians must speak the truth without regard to consequences Christians must speak the truth without regard to consequences
22:53
Just truth generally That's too broad too. Yeah, I mean, it's silly. I mean think about that did
22:59
How about speak the truth in love? How about you know speak words that edify do it you know those are there's some more biblical terms
23:08
So if we just say for example You know my wife says boy you look horrible this morning to me.
23:16
I mean it might be the truth But is that you know is that the best by the way she didn't say that You Know is that the best thing that to do and the answer is no
23:32
Pastor Steve that was one horrible sermon this morning. Well. Thank you. You know Lord be with you.
23:38
I'll be praying for you this week. I mean, that's just Must speak the truth without regard to the consequences no gee
23:48
Christians must master gluttony staying away from high fructose corn syrup and pride and desire
23:59
Is that yeah, I just thought boy, you know, what is this this is salvation by I mean
24:09
Take the pulpit this morning and say well. I'm just here to announce. I've mastered gluttony Yeah Doesn't really make any sense, and you know when did when did
24:25
Jesus say hey? if the government standard for Weight says that you are obese you're at sin
24:38
Well, Jesus didn't said it may be it may be coming, but Jesus didn't say it all right number five a little bit of a
24:47
Bible trivia here, which was the first Bible book written early by earliest date completed
24:54
Job is correct Many of you are thinking Genesis Wrong Job is correct.
25:02
What's the last one written? But think before you say it could be a trick
25:09
All right What's the last one written? Nobody wants to say now
25:15
Job? I don't know first and last Revelation is correct, but Yeah, you can't use the
25:25
Book of Mormon no Quran none of that stuff Number six who determined which books would be in the
25:33
Bible Council of Nicaea right Roman Catholic Church Joseph Smith Pastor Dave Brian Casey God determined it very good
25:50
God determined it number seven is there any significance in the way the
25:57
New Testament books are ordered Are they random? Alphabetical Greek alphabetical alphabetical according to the
26:04
Aramaic and the groups which are history
26:18
History Which would be Matthew Mark Luke John? acts
26:25
And then what? Doctrine and application no not quite
26:35
Paul okay specific epistles
26:43
And then general epistles, I suppose let me see let me see if that's right Yeah, it probably is
26:51
Although I would argue about Ephesians, but more directly what comes after the historical books
27:02
Pauline letters, right Yeah, the Pauline epistles. How many are there?
27:10
thirteen point Seven five two
27:17
You know and the reason I say that is because the book of Hebrews is no accident that Hebrews Appears where it does because a lot of the early church
27:26
Fathers believe that Paul wrote it But it's kind of in that nebulous position there and then we have the general epistles and then
27:37
Which are written by? Who wrote the general epistles? What general was it who wrote them?
27:48
After Hebrews we have James half -brother of Jesus after James we have
27:55
Peter first and second Peter then first second and third John Jude half -brother of Jesus and then
28:04
Revelation by the Apostle John okay? Is there any significance well you know and I would also say that the reason we have
28:13
Matthew Mark Luke and John in that order is because The early church fathers considered
28:20
Matthew to be the first gospel written. That's why it's first Okay, is there a potential problem number eight with cross -referencing everybody likes to cross -reference is there a problem with that as?
28:41
Long as you're not taking it out of context, but that's the potential problem isn't it or a potential problem is there another one
28:51
Yes, Pam okay a word can mean different things in different sentences and the significance of that is
29:05
Paul may be writing to the Corinthians about one issue to the Colossians about another issue.
29:11
He may use a similar word We'll do those words Necessarily mean the same thing in different contexts and the answer is not necessarily you have to be really cautious when you're
29:22
Cross -referencing it's become quite Popular to just learn by cross -referencing
29:29
May I suggest to you that the most important thing you can do cross -references can be helpful but You know if you study
29:37
And I would advise you to take Pastor Mike's hermeneutics class coming up here in a few weeks if you haven't
29:42
But if you study hermeneutics you will arrive at the point where you understand the last thing
29:47
I mean there are a series of things you want to do and the last in them is a cross -reference why?
29:54
Why is that the last thing that you want to do I? Mean it's not a bad thing to do, but it's the last on your checklist.
30:02
Why would it be last? Brian okay, you want to study it systematically.
30:20
I'm with you on that Peggy okay, so Peggy's saying that you want to understand who was written to why was written to all the different Questions about it the culture and all that well in other words
30:47
What Peggy is saying is you want to understand that? particular scripture within context within the historical cultural
30:59
Grammatical context before you go to because the most important thing is you want to make sure that you've understood
31:05
The passage correctly as it stands and then you can go and look at cross -references as kind of like a check
31:13
Because if you come up with something, you know you're studying something and in context you think
31:18
Paul is writing that Jesus is a created being and None of the other
31:25
New Testament books agree with you. Well, then the Bible either contradicts itself or your original
31:31
Understanding is wrong, and you need to go back and double -check that So you want to study things in context first and then cross -reference?
31:41
And if you study them in context by the way, you'll never come to some bogus Understanding like Jesus a created being and we're gonna get to that Okay, number nine.
31:51
How would you explain the difference between God's justice and the human concept of fairness? How would you explain
31:59
Oh pastor Dave you have? You have 30 seconds
32:40
Okay yeah, I think if you start with the concept of you know kind of a constitutional understanding that all men are created equal
32:51
And then work your way back to God you're gonna wind up with the wrong idea and Any other thoughts on God's justice and human concept of fairness
33:04
Peggy yeah, if we if we look at it in terms of Peggy was saying in terms of what we deserve
33:33
You know that we have a better concept of God's Grace and mercy if we all you know if we got what we what is fair.
33:41
We all deserve. It's in hell so and God's justice by the way is perfect and Our human concept of fairness is flawed because we're sinful creatures
33:58
Number ten if God is all -powerful. Why doesn't he prevent evil from happening? And if you haven't heard this question in the last year, it's because you haven't been talking to unbelievers go ahead
34:13
Carolyn, okay
34:24
Carolyn says that God has given us free will and because of that He could prevent us from sinning, but he chooses not to Other thoughts on that Karen.
34:41
Okay, it's a means of our sanctification. You know can evil Bring about good results in our lives
34:52
Okay, if there was no evil in the world, we wouldn't understand
35:03
God's loving -kindness. We wouldn't understand his love We also wouldn't understand his
35:11
Wrath why would God have wrath? Why would he be angry with anything if there were no?
35:17
Evil in the world we wouldn't really understand his justice or his holiness If everything is white
35:25
Perfectly white then what's the contrast? There is no contrast
35:38
Let's see number 11. What is a biblical reference that would disprove the idea that Jesus is a created being?
35:46
Biblical reference, what's that? First John what John 1?
35:54
Okay, we're getting somewhere John 1 and if we start in verse 1, what are we going to read?
36:06
In fact Carl, why don't you read that for us John 1? John 1 1
36:16
I have it right there. I mean we could later on discover by further reading that Jesus was the word and He was
36:27
God Okay through him yeah
36:35
Colossians 1 All things are created John 8 58.
36:43
Yes, very good before Abraham was Jesus said that before Abraham was
36:50
I am claiming self -existence Good Number 12, what is wrong with this statement?
37:01
after his crucifixion Jesus descended to hell in order to satisfy the payment Satan was due.
37:32
Okay. Excellent. Excellent points I mean it this whole idea that somehow You know
37:39
If the grand accounting scheme that sins are payable, you know accounts payable to Satan, you know
37:48
That somehow he's going to be collecting all the payment for that. That's wrong. And what else Paul? Okay good.
38:00
It is finished the work of Reconciliation the work of payment was finished because the payment is due
38:07
God as you said it's his holiness that is Offended that needs to be
38:16
Propitiated his wrath that needs to be propitiated not Satan's Well, he descended
38:26
I think it says that in Ephesians 4 Where it says what does it mean that he?
38:33
Ascended other than he descended Well, I mean they've ascribed all manner of things to it including the idea that That Yeah Ephesians 4
38:56
Verse 8 Therefore it says when he ascended on high he led captive a host of captives and he gave gifts to men now this expression
39:07
He ascended what does it mean? Except that he also had descended into the lower parts of the earth
39:14
He who descended is himself also he who ascended far above all had all the heavens so that he might fill all things
39:23
Also in first Peter, you know, he went and made proclamation to the spirits in prison so there there are some indications that Something something
39:36
I mean definitely something happened between the crucifixion and the ascension where he went to regions
39:47
Okay, number 13, what is the classic proof text for the Bible describing seekers
39:58
Seek and it shall be added to you. Someone said no. No one said that. What do you say? Hey? No one seeks after God and what passage is that Romans 3, you know,
40:11
I just I have to say Whenever I hear this read this I mean,
40:16
I just the first thing that pops in my head is Romans 3.
40:21
No one seeks after God no one Seeks after God.
40:28
Well, you have seekers. No one seeks after God Well, you know at our church.
40:33
We have a lot of seekers. No one seeks. I mean, what does no one mean? Except for the people who show up at our church that you know, they're pre
40:43
Christians. They're seekers No one I mean, maybe
40:50
Paul could be a little bit more clear by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit But no one to me.
40:55
It seems pretty clear. No one is no one There there is one seeker in the entire
41:01
Bible one Jesus said
41:07
I have come for what purpose To seek and save that which is lost one seeker.
41:13
So if you have a seeker at your church, that's great If you have more than one seeker you've got problems
41:20
We want to be seeker sensitive because we want Jesus to come and seek people here number 14
41:30
True or false the only prerequisite for salvation is faith
41:36
In other words, if you'll just believe you'll be saved true or false
41:45
Who's willing to step out on that ledge and be pushed Brian? It's true
42:08
Demons believe in tremble I'm gonna go reform
42:16
Baptist here Peggy says what about God giving you the faith about regeneration?
42:28
Let's read that question again, and then let's decide the only prerequisite for salvation is faith
42:36
What do we think about that part? The only prerequisite for salvation is faith if it's
42:45
God -given faith, okay In other words, let's go to the second part.
42:52
In other words, if you'll just believe you'll be saved I'd say
42:58
I don't like the second part of that question If you'll just believe you'll be saved.
43:03
Why don't I like that part? Yeah, it sounds like the act of the person is the maybe
43:15
I could have been more explicit to make sure that everybody knew that But I wanted to be kind of a thought -provoking trick question
43:21
Do you have to believe to be saved? Is it a prerequisite for salvation?
43:32
Yes, is it the only prerequisite for salvation? Yeah, I don't think so.
43:37
I don't think you can say that because what has to precede faith regeneration
43:46
Jesus said what in John chapter 3 you must believe Right, isn't that what he told
43:53
Nicodemus you must believe Okay, you must be born again. That's what that whole thing
43:59
Regeneration, you know, does it precede faith? I don't know. I don't know, you know, could they be simultaneous?
44:06
But can it here's the question? Can you believe apart from the regenerating work of the
44:11
Holy Spirit and the answer is no So when you say the only prerequisite,
44:17
I think that's probably false number 15 What would you say to someone who tells you
44:24
I would believe in God if he would reveal himself to me. I Love that answer
44:31
Pat said no you wouldn't Pam says another good one.
44:38
Your master won't let you he already has
44:44
He already has revealed himself. Listen, this is the biggest fraud out there
44:50
There are lots of unbelievers out there saying, you know, if only God would make himself evident
44:55
I would believe and what does the Bible say Brian? seeks a sign right
45:05
But even more than that we know it's not true because Romans 1 tells us creation
45:13
Makes God's existent evident to everyone and they'll say well, you know, it's it's not random.
45:23
I Was just interacting with an atheist yesterday. He said it's not random that Very smart guy.
45:28
I like this guy a lot he says it's not random that the universe exists in the way it is and the earth has life it's not random, but God didn't do it.
45:41
They are without excuse and We also have the fact that you know while Jesus was on the earth showing himself to many
45:49
How many believed? Not many Many who even experienced miracles did not believe
45:57
Pam. I think that's true that a lot of them who
46:06
Experienced the the miracles the wonders did not endure was there a hand over there Yes, our brother
46:14
Scott they have
46:54
Moses and the prophets meaning they have scripture, you know Implying what more could they need and they wouldn't believe even if someone came back from the dead.
47:04
So Signs are of no value why because you know what you can you can put on whatever kind of dazzling display you want in front of a dead man and their response is
47:15
Nothing They can't even feign boredom. They're just nothing number 16
47:23
What is wrong if anything with the statement if God commands something? It means we have the ability to obey
47:30
He commands you to repent and believe that means that every single man woman and child has the ability to repent and believe
47:40
He wouldn't have had to send Christ. I mean imagine that You can repent and believe
47:52
Apart from the work of Christ. No Yeah, it is the foundational
48:03
Argument between Pelagius and Augustine and it's still alive today
48:11
Well, you know, let's put it another way Jesus says be perfect Well, that means you have the opportunity to you have the ability to be perfect right as exactly right
48:26
Ten Commandments disproven Yeah, John Excellent Point we're all held responsible.
48:42
So responsibility does not equal ability Not the same thing responsible, but Not necessarily able to obey
49:09
He Daniel says we choose not to obey and then he says, you know the mind chooses what it wants and if it's sinful to choose that and and I think
49:17
You're really on the right track because what what in essence you're saying is we choose according to what?
49:24
our nature our nature So if we have a nature that is
49:31
Dead in our sins and trespasses. Well, we choose God and if we have a nature that is
49:37
Made alive to the things of Christ and we are presented with You know the opportunity to follow him or to sin
49:47
We may stumble but are we going to have the same senses that we did before we were saved and the answer
49:53
I think is No, there's going to be a guilt that goes with our sin
50:00
We need to close in prayer We may have the expanded midterm quiz next week or we may
50:07
I'm going to be doing a series on Heaven hell and everything in between so And you go, well, what's it between Oh Purgatory annihilation ism all you know all sorts of things so fun times
50:27
All right. Let's close in prayer father.
50:33
It is good for us to be provoked to think To be reminded of what we know and to be encouraged
50:42
Lord to Focus on those things that are so central
50:48
Not only to our own lives but to the lives of those that we come in contact on a daily basis so many people in need of salvation in need of Understanding the truth that yields eternal life
51:07
Lord, would you make us those who are ready? Even if we have not studied even if we have not memorized any methodology with regard to the gospel, would you make us those who who just if given any opportunity will immediately
51:29
Preach the gospel even if it is only what you have done on our behalf, which is great enough
