00:00:47,268 --> 00:00:51,452 the apologetic starting however I just took every this class 6 00:00:51,628 --> 00:00:53,860 need to do is attend that class whatever reason just so we'll 7 00:00:53,892

00:01:03,014 Wednesday and Lord's already changed time sir God didn't change 10 00:01:03,054 --> 00:01:06,838 times still trying to is the Lord I know what you'll see now just 11 00:01:06,886 --> 00:01:16,166 eye head then talked about sections why do we need to God who 12 00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:20,470 can save us only Jesus Jesus Christ God's about the fact the only 13 00:01:20,502 --> 00:01:23,806 way of saying it was man it was who was who cast on to sin by 14 00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:28,120 his law and be a man's law to stand man's behalf and he's the God 15 00:01:28,192 --> 00:01:32,024 and then was page four skip over to 50 why is Jesus because Jesus 16 00:01:32,064 --> 00:01:35,784 the son he died the debt demanded for let's see we talked 17 00:01:35,864 --> 00:01:39,656 because directed grave I didn't hit on that because I emphasize 18 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,296 and emphasize I have I myself in when I was seminary zeal of knowledge 19 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,760 I left direction many tracks will leave no soul winners extremely 20 00:01:50,792 --> 00:01:53,200 important it can't happen if you don't believe rose from the just 21 00:01:53,232 --> 00:01:55,176 cannot but we're on page don't know if I went over said letter E 22 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,542 be resurrected it is the ordinance that we never leave off 23 00:01:57,558 --> 00:02:01,622 the Christ from present belief in his patient without the shedding 24 00:02:01,638 --> 00:02:05,582 of subsequent death all in rise and in first Corinthians if 25 00:02:05,598 --> 00:02:08,382 there be no red then is Christ be not preaching vain Also in verse 26 00:02:08,398 --> 00:02:13,278 17 says your faith and ye are sin and so be absent out of yourselves 27 00:02:13,406 --> 00:02:19,206 it is the gift of God bottom line I mean you have to use that 28 00:02:19,230 --> 00:02:22,262 verse I mean I don't know how you can have a soul winning conversation 29 00:02:22,318 --> 00:02:26,312 and not use Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 for by grace are you saved 30 00:02:26,368 --> 00:02:30,804 through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God 31 00:02:31,744 --> 00:02:36,604 grace and then you have the word saved there which is salvation 32 00:02:37,104 --> 00:02:41,816 faith I believe all three of those are gifts from God all three 33 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:49,592 of them the word grace and I've given you all this information 34 00:02:49,688 --> 00:02:53,840 right here the Greek word is charis it means death benefit or 35 00:02:53,872 --> 00:02:57,164 favor God's riches at Christ expense Some people like to say that 36 00:02:57,284 --> 00:03:00,636 unmerited favor divine influence. 37 00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:03,676 Definition number two is divine influence upon the heart and 38 00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:05,544 its reflection in the life. 39 00:03:05,844 --> 00:03:07,004 Grace is more than just. 40 00:03:07,044 --> 00:03:08,748 There's more to grace than just getting saved. 41 00:03:08,796 --> 00:03:12,604 So once a person does, by the grace of God, receive Jesus as their 42 00:03:12,644 --> 00:03:16,540 Savior, that same grace is what will work inside of them and 43 00:03:16,572 --> 00:03:19,224 work out what God has done on the inside. 44 00:03:20,084 --> 00:03:23,436 Expecting somebody to turn away from all their sin in order 45 00:03:23,460 --> 00:03:26,032 to get saved is completely unbiblical. 46 00:03:26,228 --> 00:03:28,504 There is no repent of all your sin. 47 00:03:28,544 --> 00:03:30,000 You won't find that in the Bible. 48 00:03:30,152 --> 00:03:33,044 You might find that in some of our hymns. 49 00:03:33,344 --> 00:03:37,760 But repent of all your sins in the way that many preachers mean 50 00:03:37,792 --> 00:03:40,304 that or people mean that is turn from all your sins. 51 00:03:40,464 --> 00:03:42,752 You don't even know what all your sins are. 52 00:03:42,928 --> 00:03:45,616 You can't turn from your sins in order to get saved. 53 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,164 Salvation is by grace through faith. 54 00:03:49,624 --> 00:03:54,018 And so Paul said in First Corinthians 15:10, but by the grace 55 00:03:54,066 --> 00:03:55,434 of God, I am what I am. 56 00:03:55,474 --> 00:03:58,738 And his grace, which was bestowed upon me was not in vain, 57 00:03:58,786 --> 00:04:01,034 but I labored more abundantly than they all. 58 00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:04,394 Yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 59 00:04:04,434 --> 00:04:07,026 So the grace that saved him is also the grace that worked in him 60 00:04:07,050 --> 00:04:09,114 to work, to work out. 61 00:04:09,234 --> 00:04:13,346 So we are saved Letter A by God's grace, but then B through faith, 62 00:04:13,490 --> 00:04:18,662 we are saved by grace through Faith Again, Ephesians 2, verse 8 63 00:04:18,773 --> 00:04:25,358 and 9, and then Romans 12:3 at the top of page 55. 64 00:04:25,406 --> 00:04:27,926 For I say through the grace given unto me to every man that is 65 00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:30,630 among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought 66 00:04:30,662 --> 00:04:33,830 to think, but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt 67 00:04:33,862 --> 00:04:36,914 to every man the measure of faith. 68 00:04:37,254 --> 00:04:38,678 God has given us that faith. 69 00:04:38,726 --> 00:04:41,022 I believe that Philippians 1:29. 70 00:04:41,078 --> 00:04:44,892 Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ not only to believe, 71 00:04:45,078 --> 00:04:47,684 but also to suffer for his sake. 72 00:04:48,104 --> 00:04:49,792 I am not a Calvinist. 73 00:04:49,928 --> 00:04:50,432 I'm not. 74 00:04:50,488 --> 00:04:50,984 I'm not even. 75 00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:53,472 I used to say I'm a one point or two or three point. 76 00:04:53,608 --> 00:05:01,936 But once, once I started actually studying Calvinism, I realized 77 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,400 that if you're going to say you're one point, you have to be 78 00:05:05,432 --> 00:05:07,856 all, because they all work together. 79 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,080 They work upon each other. 80 00:05:09,112 --> 00:05:14,514 And so I'm not a Calvinist, but I do believe that we. 81 00:05:15,854 --> 00:05:21,470 God supplies everything that we need to get saved and he gives 82 00:05:21,502 --> 00:05:24,194 us the opportunity to choose. 83 00:05:24,734 --> 00:05:26,726 We are a free moral agent. 84 00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:28,358 We have to make the decision. 85 00:05:28,526 --> 00:05:30,234 God works upon our heart. 86 00:05:31,294 --> 00:05:34,942 I believe that no man comes to God except the Spirit draws him, 87 00:05:35,038 --> 00:05:38,016 except the Spirit of God draws the Holy Spirit's working on somebody's 88 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,224 heart. 89 00:05:38,264 --> 00:05:41,216 That's why when we're out knocking doors or when you're passing 90 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:41,752 out a new. 91 00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:48,392 A new move in bag, you're pretty much going to know pretty 92 00:05:48,448 --> 00:05:51,404 quick if God's not working on their heart. 93 00:05:53,144 --> 00:05:54,604 It's pretty evident. 94 00:05:56,704 --> 00:05:59,128 And to be very candid with you, and you've heard me say this 95 00:05:59,176 --> 00:06:04,626 already, and I don't mean to discourage you by it, but I hope 96 00:06:04,690 --> 00:06:08,962 actually by me saying this encourages you and you won't stop 97 00:06:09,018 --> 00:06:09,418 doing it. 98 00:06:09,466 --> 00:06:13,754 Because the fact of the matter is, most of the time, most of those 99 00:06:13,794 --> 00:06:17,050 people are not feeling any kind of conviction about their sin. 100 00:06:17,202 --> 00:06:20,042 They don't think about where they're going when they die. 101 00:06:20,218 --> 00:06:24,802 And if the younger they are, the less they think about it, they 102 00:06:24,818 --> 00:06:27,654 think they're bulletproof and they got all the time in the world. 103 00:06:28,614 --> 00:06:32,254 And so I hope that even by saying that, you recognize the fact 104 00:06:32,294 --> 00:06:36,310 that you're going to have to take a lot of those bags before you 105 00:06:36,342 --> 00:06:39,190 run into somebody who's going to give you the opportunity to talk 106 00:06:39,222 --> 00:06:40,034 to them. 107 00:06:40,774 --> 00:06:45,366 And then when you talk to them, according to the parable of 108 00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:51,926 the soils, the seed that's actually sown, only 25% of that is 109 00:06:51,950 --> 00:06:54,964 going to reproduce fruit. 110 00:06:55,664 --> 00:06:59,368 If you read the parable of the soils, you have four different grounds, 111 00:06:59,456 --> 00:07:00,592 four different soils. 112 00:07:00,688 --> 00:07:02,924 Seed is sown on all four of them. 113 00:07:03,304 --> 00:07:05,176 Some of it just kind of falls by the wayside. 114 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,644 But there's seeds sown, and three of them don't yield any fruit. 115 00:07:10,984 --> 00:07:12,312 A couple of them will. 116 00:07:12,448 --> 00:07:15,368 You'll get excited because they'll come to church and you think, 117 00:07:15,416 --> 00:07:17,056 man, I mean, this happens to me. 118 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,706 It's happened to all of us who have been soul winners, who have 119 00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:23,722 led some people to Christ. 120 00:07:23,778 --> 00:07:26,618 They get in and you're very excited about them, and they fizzle 121 00:07:26,666 --> 00:07:27,090 out after. 122 00:07:27,122 --> 00:07:28,214 A couple of months. 123 00:07:28,714 --> 00:07:30,338 And you're like, what happened? 124 00:07:30,466 --> 00:07:30,970 Why? 125 00:07:31,082 --> 00:07:31,794 Why what? 126 00:07:31,874 --> 00:07:32,494 Why? 127 00:07:32,794 --> 00:07:36,730 You take into consideration the soils, and that's exactly. 128 00:07:36,762 --> 00:07:40,258 You'll see it every single time, the soils. 129 00:07:40,346 --> 00:07:42,194 So don't forget that when you're out there. 130 00:07:42,314 --> 00:07:43,666 I hate to say it this way. 131 00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:46,402 I really do hate to say it, but it's just a good analogy. 132 00:07:46,458 --> 00:07:47,760 It is a numbers game. 133 00:07:47,882 --> 00:07:50,236 If you're in sales, you understand this. 134 00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:53,236 You got to talk to a lot of people before you get somebody to 135 00:07:53,260 --> 00:07:53,944 listen. 136 00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:57,828 And so there it is. 137 00:07:57,996 --> 00:07:58,780 It's through faith. 138 00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:00,064 And then letter C. 139 00:08:01,084 --> 00:08:02,184 Letter C. 140 00:08:02,884 --> 00:08:04,764 We call upon the Lord to save us. 141 00:08:04,804 --> 00:08:06,497 That's at the middle of page 55. 142 00:08:06,591 --> 00:08:10,244 We call upon the Lord to save us. 143 00:08:10,338 --> 00:08:11,228 Romans 10:13. 144 00:08:11,276 --> 00:08:14,610 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 145 00:08:14,772 --> 00:08:16,754 Now we call upon the Lord. 146 00:08:17,294 --> 00:08:18,558 Is that a works? 147 00:08:18,686 --> 00:08:20,954 Well, the Bible says call upon the Lord. 148 00:08:23,014 --> 00:08:25,794 I've had preachers argue that. 149 00:08:26,134 --> 00:08:29,814 I've been on deputation trying to raise support to start churches, 150 00:08:29,854 --> 00:08:34,134 and man, I've run into Calvinists and works. 151 00:08:34,174 --> 00:08:36,990 And I've run into them, they're so nitpicky. 152 00:08:37,022 --> 00:08:38,046 They would say, well, do you pray? 153 00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:40,194 Do you think a person should pray when they get saved? 154 00:08:41,084 --> 00:08:42,940 You know, I'm like, well, the Bible says call. 155 00:08:43,012 --> 00:08:43,940 Well, that's works. 156 00:08:44,012 --> 00:08:46,300 You believe in works for salvation and they just write you 157 00:08:46,332 --> 00:08:46,548 off. 158 00:08:46,596 --> 00:08:47,744 No support. 159 00:08:48,724 --> 00:08:49,276 That's crazy. 160 00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:52,948 I mean, the word of God says, call upon the Lord. 161 00:08:52,996 --> 00:08:56,324 Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 162 00:08:56,444 --> 00:08:58,224 I guess you can do it under your breath. 163 00:08:59,444 --> 00:09:04,332 But Romans 10:9 says, if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the 164 00:09:04,348 --> 00:09:07,420 Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised 165 00:09:07,452 --> 00:09:09,100 him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 166 00:09:09,212 --> 00:09:10,684 It's so important, he said it twice. 167 00:09:10,764 --> 00:09:12,952 For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and 168 00:09:12,968 --> 00:09:16,324 with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. 169 00:09:17,144 --> 00:09:21,032 And so when I'm witnessing to somebody and I'm coming down to the 170 00:09:21,088 --> 00:09:23,284 bottom of it, I mean, we're fishers of men. 171 00:09:23,744 --> 00:09:26,928 And you've already, you've already, you've got this fish on 172 00:09:26,936 --> 00:09:29,976 the hook, so to speak, and you've got to reel him in, you've 173 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,724 got to bring the net in, you've got to bring it in. 174 00:09:33,224 --> 00:09:34,872 And this is how you do it. 175 00:09:35,048 --> 00:09:39,278 The Bible says, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord 176 00:09:39,326 --> 00:09:40,394 shall be saved. 177 00:09:41,814 --> 00:09:44,886 Now, what that word call means is. 178 00:09:44,910 --> 00:09:46,074 Just to call out. 179 00:09:46,814 --> 00:09:50,110 It's to call, it's to talk, it's to pray. 180 00:09:50,302 --> 00:09:51,514 It's to pray. 181 00:09:52,694 --> 00:09:56,794 Now because we understand why we need to be saved. 182 00:09:57,214 --> 00:09:59,994 We understand who can save us. 183 00:10:01,494 --> 00:10:03,878 And by faith we call upon him. 184 00:10:03,926 --> 00:10:05,194 To do just that. 185 00:10:07,364 --> 00:10:12,224 There's a lot that I've given you, and when you look at a tract, 186 00:10:12,844 --> 00:10:14,572 and I'm going to show you that in just a minute, when you look at 187 00:10:14,588 --> 00:10:17,824 that tract, all that I gave you is not in there. 188 00:10:19,524 --> 00:10:22,744 But you have already explained to them why they need to be saved, 189 00:10:23,044 --> 00:10:28,604 who can save them and why only Jesus can save them based on that 190 00:10:28,644 --> 00:10:33,074 information, now it's up to them to call upon the Lord. 191 00:10:33,974 --> 00:10:37,166 And at each point you'll stop and ask them, do you understand that? 192 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:38,326 Do you understand you're a sinner? 193 00:10:38,390 --> 00:10:40,214 Do you understand that that sin is Against God. 194 00:10:40,254 --> 00:10:42,606 Do you understand that Without Christ, without, you're going to 195 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:42,814 hell. 196 00:10:42,854 --> 00:10:44,914 Do you understand the penalty for sin? 197 00:10:45,294 --> 00:10:46,646 I mean, ask them. 198 00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:48,198 We've got to make it clear, right? 199 00:10:48,246 --> 00:10:49,674 We want them to know. 200 00:10:51,134 --> 00:10:52,674 Do you understand that? 201 00:10:56,464 --> 00:11:00,404 And then I'll usually close it up by saying something. 202 00:11:01,184 --> 00:11:04,264 Every situation is different, but many times I will just say something 203 00:11:04,304 --> 00:11:07,736 like, all right, so if you understand this now, and you said 204 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,696 you understand, is that right? 205 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,800 You understand, I'll bring them through it. 206 00:11:09,832 --> 00:11:12,204 I want them to tell me they understand. 207 00:11:12,944 --> 00:11:14,800 And then I will say, is there. 208 00:11:14,832 --> 00:11:16,304 Any reason that you can think of. 209 00:11:16,344 --> 00:11:19,928 Right now why you wouldn't be willing to call upon the name of 210 00:11:19,936 --> 00:11:21,284 the Lord to save you? 211 00:11:24,074 --> 00:11:28,934 And some will say, no, I can't think of any reason. 212 00:11:29,874 --> 00:11:32,854 And then they will pray and they'll ask the Lord to save them. 213 00:11:33,994 --> 00:11:38,594 I've had some who said, yes, I want to ask Jesus to save me. 214 00:11:38,754 --> 00:11:42,890 And then I will say something like this, okay, now, again, praying 215 00:11:42,922 --> 00:11:43,394 to the Lord. 216 00:11:43,434 --> 00:11:45,554 There's nothing magical about the words you say. 217 00:11:45,594 --> 00:11:47,174 There's no magical prayer. 218 00:11:47,854 --> 00:11:49,534 But it's believing what you pray. 219 00:11:49,614 --> 00:11:50,510 It's believing what you say. 220 00:11:50,542 --> 00:11:52,126 And then I will say, I will do this. 221 00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:56,526 I'll say, however, 40 years ago, I prayed something like this. 222 00:11:56,670 --> 00:11:57,710 And I will say it. 223 00:11:57,742 --> 00:11:59,310 I will say, this is something like, I prayed. 224 00:11:59,342 --> 00:11:59,670 I prayed. 225 00:11:59,702 --> 00:12:02,686 I said, God, I know I'm a sinner, man. 226 00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:03,286 I know it. 227 00:12:03,310 --> 00:12:06,034 And I know that I deserve to go to hell. 228 00:12:06,534 --> 00:12:10,062 But I believe that your Bible says that you loved me enough to 229 00:12:10,078 --> 00:12:10,246 send. 230 00:12:10,270 --> 00:12:11,718 Your son to die in my place. 231 00:12:11,766 --> 00:12:13,470 And I believe that Jesus died for me. 232 00:12:13,502 --> 00:12:15,236 And I believe that he rose again. 233 00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:18,424 And the best I know how, I'm asking you to forgive me and to save 234 00:12:18,464 --> 00:12:18,952 me. 235 00:12:19,088 --> 00:12:20,592 And I'm receiving Jesus Christ. 236 00:12:20,648 --> 00:12:22,320 I accept Jesus as my Savior. 237 00:12:22,432 --> 00:12:23,920 I say it like that. 238 00:12:24,112 --> 00:12:25,368 And then I will say, now you. 239 00:12:25,416 --> 00:12:29,244 Pray in your own words something to that effect. 240 00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:32,360 And I will have people just bow. 241 00:12:32,392 --> 00:12:33,704 Their head and not say anything. 242 00:12:33,744 --> 00:12:34,644 And I'm like. 243 00:12:38,144 --> 00:12:40,324 And sometimes they'll pray in their heart and. 244 00:12:40,634 --> 00:12:42,894 And when they're done, they'll say, okay, I did it. 245 00:12:43,714 --> 00:12:46,214 I'm not going to say, no, you got to do it out loud. 246 00:12:46,754 --> 00:12:48,214 I'm not going to do that. 247 00:12:48,634 --> 00:12:51,618 It's just as real if they do it in their heart. 248 00:12:51,786 --> 00:12:54,250 And bottom line is, time will tell. 249 00:12:54,402 --> 00:12:55,978 But I'm going to trust that they did it. 250 00:12:56,026 --> 00:12:58,306 I'm going to trust if they have that information and they tell 251 00:12:58,330 --> 00:13:00,562 me in just a minute, yes, I did it. 252 00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:01,874 I made that choice. 253 00:13:01,994 --> 00:13:03,414 I'm going to accept that. 254 00:13:03,914 --> 00:13:09,064 I prefer that they pray out loud, but it can be just as phony, 255 00:13:09,564 --> 00:13:12,828 it can be just as unreal out loud as it can be silent. 256 00:13:12,996 --> 00:13:15,664 And so I do try my best. 257 00:13:16,284 --> 00:13:17,564 I ask him to pray. 258 00:13:17,644 --> 00:13:20,332 And many times what I'll say is I want you to act like. 259 00:13:20,388 --> 00:13:23,100 I want you to pretend Jesus Christ is sitting right next to you. 260 00:13:23,172 --> 00:13:25,412 I want you to pretend God is in the chair next to you. 261 00:13:25,468 --> 00:13:27,156 And I want you to pray to him. 262 00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:30,060 Because you're not praying to me, you're praying to him. 263 00:13:30,212 --> 00:13:33,396 And so whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be 264 00:13:33,420 --> 00:13:33,676 saved. 265 00:13:33,740 --> 00:13:37,040 Believing in our heart and confessing with our mouth and then 266 00:13:37,072 --> 00:13:37,608 letter D. 267 00:13:37,656 --> 00:13:41,008 We receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. 268 00:13:41,096 --> 00:13:43,272 We receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. 269 00:13:43,328 --> 00:13:47,552 Folks, I'm going to say this because we're done, we're finished 270 00:13:47,648 --> 00:13:48,144 almost. 271 00:13:48,264 --> 00:13:50,364 But I do want to say this. 272 00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,688 Well, go ahead and turn to page 56. 273 00:13:53,776 --> 00:13:55,524 How are we not saved? 274 00:13:56,264 --> 00:13:57,440 We are not saved. 275 00:13:57,512 --> 00:14:01,244 Number one, by asking Jesus into our hearts. 276 00:14:02,894 --> 00:14:06,714 I understand that's been used forever. 277 00:14:07,694 --> 00:14:16,638 And I know that if you do it right, if you're careful, people 278 00:14:16,686 --> 00:14:19,366 can get saved if you use that phrase. 279 00:14:19,550 --> 00:14:22,354 A lot of times people like to use Revelation chapter 3. 280 00:14:22,694 --> 00:14:24,834 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. 281 00:14:25,734 --> 00:14:28,990 If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto 282 00:14:29,022 --> 00:14:31,114 him and I will sup with him and he with me. 283 00:14:32,134 --> 00:14:34,830 And I've heard a lot of preachers, a lot of people, I've 284 00:14:34,902 --> 00:14:37,158 used that verse as a soul winning verse. 285 00:14:37,206 --> 00:14:40,194 And I said, now Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart 286 00:14:41,454 --> 00:14:43,534 and you obviously hear him right now. 287 00:14:43,574 --> 00:14:46,234 Because you allowed me to share the gospel with you. 288 00:14:46,774 --> 00:14:49,910 If you're willing to open the door of your heart and ask him to. 289 00:14:49,942 --> 00:14:50,990 Come in, he'll do it. 290 00:14:51,062 --> 00:14:52,114 I've done that. 291 00:14:53,014 --> 00:14:55,870 And I think that I was just as sincere and I think they were just 292 00:14:55,902 --> 00:15:00,914 as sincere, but it's not, that's not in the Bible. 293 00:15:01,814 --> 00:15:03,726 He's not talking about salvation there. 294 00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:07,270 He's talking to a church in Revelation. 295 00:15:07,342 --> 00:15:09,434 That's not a soul winning context. 296 00:15:10,454 --> 00:15:12,798 And so it's best to stick with the context. 297 00:15:12,886 --> 00:15:13,198 Okay. 298 00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:16,326 If we can, let's stay with the context and do it the real, the Bible 299 00:15:16,390 --> 00:15:16,854 way. 300 00:15:16,974 --> 00:15:19,794 I don't even like to use ask Jesus into my heart with children. 301 00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:23,510 I just don't like to because then they have this idea, they're 302 00:15:23,542 --> 00:15:24,374 more abstract. 303 00:15:24,454 --> 00:15:27,574 You know, they got this idea of little Jesus running around inside 304 00:15:27,614 --> 00:15:29,184 their heart. 305 00:15:30,684 --> 00:15:33,788 And so how are we not saved by asking Jesus into our heart? 306 00:15:33,836 --> 00:15:36,692 So what I said was at the bottom of page 55. 307 00:15:36,748 --> 00:15:38,980 We receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. 308 00:15:39,092 --> 00:15:41,356 I do like to take him to this verse. 309 00:15:41,460 --> 00:15:43,084 John 1, verse 10 and 12. 310 00:15:43,164 --> 00:15:45,836 He was in the world, the world was made by him, and the world knew 311 00:15:45,860 --> 00:15:46,140 him not. 312 00:15:46,172 --> 00:15:48,404 He came into his own, and his own received him not. 313 00:15:48,484 --> 00:15:52,484 But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become 314 00:15:52,524 --> 00:15:53,668 the sons of God. 315 00:15:53,796 --> 00:15:57,380 Even to them that believe on his name, receive him. 316 00:15:57,412 --> 00:16:00,824 And I'm going to show you that in just a minute, receive Him. 317 00:16:01,284 --> 00:16:02,484 So how are we not saved? 318 00:16:02,524 --> 00:16:05,340 We're not saved by asking Jesus into our hearts. 319 00:16:05,532 --> 00:16:08,452 We're not saved by telling the lost they must repent of all their 320 00:16:08,508 --> 00:16:09,224 sins. 321 00:16:09,564 --> 00:16:11,064 They can't do that. 322 00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:14,784 I was just talking to somebody a little while ago about repentance. 323 00:16:15,244 --> 00:16:18,184 Repentance has been an issue forever. 324 00:16:19,044 --> 00:16:21,340 There is a doctrinal view of repentance. 325 00:16:21,412 --> 00:16:26,878 There is a real, true area to talk about, but this isn't the time 326 00:16:26,926 --> 00:16:27,726 for it. 327 00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:31,342 But I can tell you right now, no one will repent of their. 328 00:16:31,398 --> 00:16:33,794 All their sins to get saved. 329 00:16:34,614 --> 00:16:36,470 Repentance is different than that. 330 00:16:36,502 --> 00:16:38,114 It's something different than that. 331 00:16:39,614 --> 00:16:42,430 And then number three, repeat this prayer after me. 332 00:16:42,462 --> 00:16:43,254 How are they not saved? 333 00:16:43,294 --> 00:16:44,414 Repeat this prayer. 334 00:16:44,574 --> 00:16:46,254 I just don't like to do that. 335 00:16:46,374 --> 00:16:50,394 I have had people actually say, will you help me pray? 336 00:16:51,424 --> 00:16:52,768 I've had people say that. 337 00:16:52,816 --> 00:16:54,404 Will you help me to pray? 338 00:16:55,344 --> 00:16:56,496 I'm not going to say no. 339 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,072 You must do this on your own. 340 00:16:58,208 --> 00:17:01,760 I will help them, and I have helped them, but I don't like to 341 00:17:01,792 --> 00:17:02,312 do that. 342 00:17:02,408 --> 00:17:06,720 But if they ask me to help them, I will help them, and that's 343 00:17:06,752 --> 00:17:07,364 fine. 344 00:17:07,784 --> 00:17:11,724 But obviously we want this to be all them, right? 345 00:17:13,664 --> 00:17:14,524 We don't. 346 00:17:14,824 --> 00:17:16,888 How many times have you heard somebody say, well, I went down there 347 00:17:16,896 --> 00:17:18,324 and shook that preacher's hand? 348 00:17:20,114 --> 00:17:21,378 You may have never heard that. 349 00:17:21,426 --> 00:17:22,494 I've heard that. 350 00:17:22,914 --> 00:17:25,330 Or, I went down to this altar and I prayed something with that 351 00:17:25,362 --> 00:17:26,094 preacher. 352 00:17:26,474 --> 00:17:27,426 I prayed something. 353 00:17:27,530 --> 00:17:29,386 I prayed down at the altar with that person. 354 00:17:29,450 --> 00:17:30,654 They prayed with me. 355 00:17:31,114 --> 00:17:34,454 And there's no confidence in that years down the road, you know. 356 00:17:34,874 --> 00:17:37,090 So these are how we are not saved. 357 00:17:37,242 --> 00:17:42,626 So what I've given you, this is more information than you'll ever 358 00:17:42,690 --> 00:17:44,934 need to lead a soul to Jesus Christ. 359 00:17:46,963 --> 00:17:50,715 But now, in these 55 pages that you have in front of you, you 360 00:17:50,739 --> 00:17:55,303 have a greater understanding of the importance of personal evangelism. 361 00:17:55,683 --> 00:17:58,867 You have a greater understanding of the depth of man's 362 00:17:58,915 --> 00:17:59,823 depravity. 363 00:18:01,723 --> 00:18:03,543 And that ought to break our heart. 364 00:18:04,003 --> 00:18:04,723 That ought to. 365 00:18:04,763 --> 00:18:07,343 That ought to create the compassion that we need. 366 00:18:08,203 --> 00:18:11,083 You have a greater understanding of the Nature of Satan 367 00:18:11,123 --> 00:18:12,783 and the scope of his reach. 368 00:18:13,324 --> 00:18:15,932 And now that you have all this information that I gave you, and 369 00:18:15,948 --> 00:18:18,476 I only touched the surface of doctrinally, I didn't. 370 00:18:18,580 --> 00:18:20,704 We didn't go too deep into any of it. 371 00:18:21,404 --> 00:18:25,188 But now that you have this, you are better equipped to take a 372 00:18:25,236 --> 00:18:30,108 gospel tract or a New Testament and lead a soul to Jesus 373 00:18:30,156 --> 00:18:30,744 Christ. 374 00:18:31,924 --> 00:18:35,556 This is way more than you need to lead someone to Jesus, but it 375 00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:39,768 gives you a greater understanding of the process, their 376 00:18:39,816 --> 00:18:44,304 heart, where they're at, why they react, the way they react or 377 00:18:44,344 --> 00:18:46,604 respond, the way they respond or don't respond. 378 00:18:47,064 --> 00:18:48,644 This helps you to get that. 379 00:18:49,184 --> 00:18:52,696 So that concludes this particular lesson, this class on 380 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,044 personal evangelism. 381 00:18:54,624 --> 00:18:57,564 I do appreciate you sticking with me through this whole thing. 382 00:18:58,184 --> 00:18:58,879 It's 7:34. 383 00:18:58,942 --> 00:19:04,444 What I want to do in the next 10 minutes or so, 10 to 15 minutes 384 00:19:05,074 --> 00:19:10,034 the most, I want my wife to come up here and I actually forgot 385 00:19:10,194 --> 00:19:11,370 to bring my New Testament. 386 00:19:11,402 --> 00:19:12,498 It's in my truck. 387 00:19:12,666 --> 00:19:15,722 I have a New Testament that I like to use, by the way. 388 00:19:15,858 --> 00:19:22,018 I ordered and bought and received 10 soul winners new Testaments. 389 00:19:22,106 --> 00:19:26,002 They've got helps in them and I've gone through it. 390 00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:29,314 I don't agree with everything that's in those helps, but it's not 391 00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:30,254 heretical. 392 00:19:31,714 --> 00:19:32,922 And it's kind of. 393 00:19:32,938 --> 00:19:34,858 Some of them are just real old school stuff. 394 00:19:34,906 --> 00:19:36,674 But it's good. 395 00:19:36,834 --> 00:19:40,774 And we'll make those available to you here soon. 396 00:19:41,474 --> 00:19:44,706 I think Savannah said we paid $9 each with shipping, so it's got 397 00:19:44,730 --> 00:19:48,454 to be nine or ten bucks each, which is extremely cheap. 398 00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:50,498 But what I want to do is. 399 00:19:50,546 --> 00:19:52,050 Here's what I'm going to do, guys. 400 00:19:52,242 --> 00:19:55,866 Folks, I've got all four tracks that are in our track rack 401 00:19:55,890 --> 00:19:56,454 there. 402 00:19:57,134 --> 00:19:58,714 This is pastor's favorite. 403 00:20:00,174 --> 00:20:01,486 You've never been so loved. 404 00:20:01,510 --> 00:20:02,874 That's pastor's favorite. 405 00:20:05,094 --> 00:20:05,982 And then we have. 406 00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:07,238 And that's everybody's favorite. 407 00:20:07,286 --> 00:20:07,446 Actually. 408 00:20:07,470 --> 00:20:09,834 When you go out there and knock on doors, everybody loves that. 409 00:20:10,494 --> 00:20:12,794 And then I have this one, what you're looking for. 410 00:20:13,254 --> 00:20:14,846 And then these two are just cards. 411 00:20:14,910 --> 00:20:16,502 These are bi fold and tri fold tracks. 412 00:20:16,518 --> 00:20:17,350 And then these are just. 413 00:20:17,422 --> 00:20:18,434 These are cards. 414 00:20:21,574 --> 00:20:27,716 If you've never done it before, this trifold is going to 415 00:20:27,740 --> 00:20:31,204 take you kind of off track of what we've been doing. 416 00:20:31,284 --> 00:20:36,108 But all the Romans Road is still in here along with a couple 417 00:20:36,156 --> 00:20:36,604 other things. 418 00:20:36,644 --> 00:20:37,628 It kind of gives. 419 00:20:37,756 --> 00:20:39,904 It explains it a little bit differently. 420 00:20:40,324 --> 00:20:41,324 But it's all here. 421 00:20:41,364 --> 00:20:44,004 And you can lead someone to Jesus Christ with what's in this 422 00:20:44,044 --> 00:20:44,268 track. 423 00:20:44,316 --> 00:20:46,784 It kind of helps you to explain it. 424 00:20:47,484 --> 00:20:51,304 And this One gives you a little bit of explanation, but it 425 00:20:51,344 --> 00:20:52,256 stays on track. 426 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,296 It's just Romans road, period. 427 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,424 It stays on track. 428 00:20:55,464 --> 00:20:57,564 It gives you a little bit of explanation. 429 00:20:57,944 --> 00:21:03,272 I like these because this is simply just purely Romans road. 430 00:21:03,448 --> 00:21:05,804 It's got the verse underneath each one. 431 00:21:06,224 --> 00:21:08,320 I like these because I have. 432 00:21:08,432 --> 00:21:10,808 At this point, I have my own explanations. 433 00:21:10,856 --> 00:21:12,216 And I don't like to get sidetracked. 434 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,840 I don't want to get thrown off by reading. 435 00:21:13,872 --> 00:21:16,720 So a lot of times when we were on deputation, I would go to someone 436 00:21:16,752 --> 00:21:20,254 else's church, I would grab their tracks and I wasn't familiar 437 00:21:20,294 --> 00:21:22,358 with it and I would try to use it, and I. 438 00:21:22,446 --> 00:21:25,718 Many times I ended up just putting it away and using my own 439 00:21:25,766 --> 00:21:26,638 New Testament. 440 00:21:26,766 --> 00:21:27,678 I like these. 441 00:21:27,766 --> 00:21:30,874 It's just pure Romans road. 442 00:21:31,894 --> 00:21:34,206 So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to take a couple minutes 443 00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:34,614 with Ms. 444 00:21:34,654 --> 00:21:38,446 Sim and I'm going to act like we're in a perfect world. 445 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:40,510 She's not going to try to interrupt me. 446 00:21:40,622 --> 00:21:42,494 She's not going to ask any questions. 447 00:21:42,654 --> 00:21:44,518 She's going to be completely complicit. 448 00:21:44,566 --> 00:21:46,972 She's going to be compliant in every way. 449 00:21:47,108 --> 00:21:48,156 She's going to be agreeable. 450 00:21:48,220 --> 00:21:49,104 Very agreeable. 451 00:21:50,964 --> 00:21:52,324 Listen, I'll tell you this. 452 00:21:52,444 --> 00:21:53,292 If you get into. 453 00:21:53,388 --> 00:21:57,436 If you start with the gospel with someone, if they allow you to 454 00:21:57,460 --> 00:22:00,588 get to the point where you can actually start giving them the gospel, 455 00:22:00,756 --> 00:22:03,184 most of the time they won't interrupt. 456 00:22:03,684 --> 00:22:06,444 Most of the time you'll have the opportunity to go all the way 457 00:22:06,484 --> 00:22:07,116 through. 458 00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:09,868 And so that's what we're going to pretend is happening here. 459 00:22:09,996 --> 00:22:10,668 I don't have. 460 00:22:10,716 --> 00:22:12,524 I don't even have a bag with me today. 461 00:22:12,604 --> 00:22:13,874 So we're just going to. 462 00:22:13,914 --> 00:22:15,858 We're going to pretend that she's already. 463 00:22:15,986 --> 00:22:17,654 Either let me in the house. 464 00:22:18,794 --> 00:22:20,186 Well, she's a woman, and I wouldn't. 465 00:22:20,210 --> 00:22:20,986 Go in with a woman. 466 00:22:21,050 --> 00:22:22,774 So we're out on the front porch. 467 00:22:24,514 --> 00:22:25,282 And. 468 00:22:25,458 --> 00:22:27,610 Huh, Grandma's front porch. 469 00:22:27,642 --> 00:22:27,954 That's right. 470 00:22:27,994 --> 00:22:29,410 She was sitting on grandma's front porch. 471 00:22:29,442 --> 00:22:30,826 When I led her to the Lord. 472 00:22:30,970 --> 00:22:32,334 Yeah, she was 18. 473 00:22:33,114 --> 00:22:34,014 Amen. 474 00:22:35,754 --> 00:22:37,242 All right, so that's what we're going to do. 475 00:22:37,298 --> 00:22:38,838 I'm going to do this in a. 476 00:22:38,986 --> 00:22:41,622 And I don't even have my New Testament with me, so I'm going to 477 00:22:41,678 --> 00:22:45,702 really have to rely on memory. 478 00:22:45,838 --> 00:22:48,078 Okay, can we get this up on the screen, guys? 479 00:22:48,126 --> 00:22:49,294 Because when we sit here, I know. 480 00:22:49,334 --> 00:22:51,034 Not everybody's going to be able to see this. 481 00:22:51,734 --> 00:22:52,874 All right, thank you. 482 00:22:54,094 --> 00:22:58,074 All right, so I've given her one of these. 483 00:23:01,414 --> 00:23:02,198 So you Understand? 484 00:23:02,246 --> 00:23:03,406 We got to the question, if you. 485 00:23:03,430 --> 00:23:05,118 Died today, do you know for sure you go to heaven? 486 00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:06,754 She says, no, I'm not sure. 487 00:23:07,684 --> 00:23:11,476 At that point I usually say, well. 488 00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:14,412 If I could show you from the Bible that you can be sure, would 489 00:23:14,428 --> 00:23:15,584 you like to know? 490 00:23:17,044 --> 00:23:20,260 Okay, well, Sim, and I'll take my Bible out. 491 00:23:20,292 --> 00:23:21,452 I forgot my New Testament. 492 00:23:21,508 --> 00:23:24,812 I would lay it out right here in front of me and I would turn it 493 00:23:24,828 --> 00:23:27,228 around backwards because I want her to see it in the Bible. 494 00:23:27,276 --> 00:23:27,868 And I'll have. 495 00:23:27,916 --> 00:23:29,756 See, I have these verses memorized, so. 496 00:23:29,860 --> 00:23:30,984 That helps a lot. 497 00:23:31,324 --> 00:23:32,276 And I will ask her. 498 00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:35,072 I say, well, now, Simon, can you see this well enough to read 499 00:23:35,088 --> 00:23:37,208 it or do you wear glasses or contacts or something? 500 00:23:37,256 --> 00:23:37,992 I can see it. 501 00:23:38,088 --> 00:23:39,256 Okay, wonderful. 502 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,824 Well, Sim, you know, in order for us to get to heaven, according 503 00:23:43,864 --> 00:23:46,520 to the Bible, there's really just four things that we have to 504 00:23:46,552 --> 00:23:46,960 know. 505 00:23:47,072 --> 00:23:48,640 There are three questions we need to. 506 00:23:48,672 --> 00:23:50,344 Ask, but really it's four to five things. 507 00:23:50,384 --> 00:23:53,364 Within those three questions we need to answer the questions, 508 00:23:54,304 --> 00:23:56,084 why do I need to be saved? 509 00:23:56,704 --> 00:23:58,284 Who can save me? 510 00:23:58,664 --> 00:24:00,300 And how do I get saved? 511 00:24:00,472 --> 00:24:01,884 Okay, those are the three questions. 512 00:24:01,924 --> 00:24:04,404 Now, within those questions, there's four real items. 513 00:24:04,444 --> 00:24:07,308 So under the question, why do I need to be saved? 514 00:24:07,356 --> 00:24:11,724 Is because if you notice in your Bible there, the Bible says 515 00:24:11,764 --> 00:24:14,556 that everybody's a sinner. 516 00:24:14,740 --> 00:24:16,068 Everybody is a sinner. 517 00:24:16,196 --> 00:24:19,980 You see that In Romans, chapter 3, verse 23, for all have 518 00:24:20,012 --> 00:24:22,704 sinned and come short of the glory of God. 519 00:24:23,404 --> 00:24:23,788 Right? 520 00:24:23,836 --> 00:24:24,684 You see that? 521 00:24:24,844 --> 00:24:26,504 Do you believe that you're a sinner? 522 00:24:27,654 --> 00:24:30,590 Now the fact is everybody believes they're a sinner. 523 00:24:30,662 --> 00:24:32,622 Most people don't have a hard time with that. 524 00:24:32,758 --> 00:24:43,194 But what I want you to see is that according to the Ten Commandments, 525 00:24:44,854 --> 00:24:49,238 I left that sitting on my desk too with my New Testament or somewhere. 526 00:24:49,326 --> 00:24:50,318 I thought I brought them. 527 00:24:50,406 --> 00:24:51,492 They're back there. 528 00:24:51,678 --> 00:24:53,484 This is not going like I thought. 529 00:24:55,024 --> 00:25:00,464 So, Sim, do you believe that there's a standard for heaven? 530 00:25:00,504 --> 00:25:03,352 Do you believe that God would just let anybody in, or do you think 531 00:25:03,368 --> 00:25:05,296 that he has a standard for heaven? 532 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,848 He probably has a standard. 533 00:25:06,936 --> 00:25:08,684 What do you think that standard is? 534 00:25:09,784 --> 00:25:10,764 I don't know. 535 00:25:11,144 --> 00:25:12,728 You ever heard of the Ten Commandments? 536 00:25:12,816 --> 00:25:14,384 Yeah, yeah. 537 00:25:14,544 --> 00:25:18,212 You know, the Ten Commandments is basically God's standard for heaven. 538 00:25:18,408 --> 00:25:18,860 You see. 539 00:25:18,892 --> 00:25:20,108 Let me show you this. 540 00:25:20,276 --> 00:25:24,284 I'm going to give her Ten Commandments tract or a Ten Commandments 541 00:25:24,444 --> 00:25:25,188 bookmark. 542 00:25:25,276 --> 00:25:25,716 I'm going to say. 543 00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:27,764 I want you to look at that ninth one there. 544 00:25:27,804 --> 00:25:30,420 That ninth one says, thou shalt not bear false witness. 545 00:25:30,612 --> 00:25:32,732 Let me ask you this, Sim, have You ever told a lie? 546 00:25:32,828 --> 00:25:33,624 I have. 547 00:25:34,204 --> 00:25:37,172 And everybody says they've lied, right? 548 00:25:37,308 --> 00:25:39,384 I don't know of anybody who hasn't lied. 549 00:25:39,964 --> 00:25:42,184 Most everybody will admit to that. 550 00:25:43,124 --> 00:25:44,644 But I want you to notice this other one. 551 00:25:44,684 --> 00:25:45,460 Look what this one says. 552 00:25:45,492 --> 00:25:46,308 Thou shalt not steal. 553 00:25:46,356 --> 00:25:48,992 Have you ever taken anything without that didn't belong to you 554 00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:50,184 when I was a kid? 555 00:25:50,344 --> 00:25:51,764 When you were a kid. 556 00:25:52,344 --> 00:25:53,552 Yeah, that's right. 557 00:25:53,728 --> 00:25:55,104 Well, let me ask you this. 558 00:25:55,224 --> 00:25:56,964 Is it wrong to steal a car? 559 00:25:57,384 --> 00:25:57,880 Yes. 560 00:25:57,952 --> 00:26:00,164 Is it wrong to steal a pencil from school? 561 00:26:00,824 --> 00:26:03,408 Is it wrong to steal a piece of candy from a store? 562 00:26:03,536 --> 00:26:04,024 It is. 563 00:26:04,104 --> 00:26:07,952 So it doesn't really matter the item that we stole. 564 00:26:08,088 --> 00:26:09,856 Stealing is still wrong. 565 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:10,360 Right. 566 00:26:10,472 --> 00:26:11,920 And what does that make you? 567 00:26:12,112 --> 00:26:12,792 A thief. 568 00:26:12,888 --> 00:26:13,684 A thief. 569 00:26:14,194 --> 00:26:15,194 Let me ask you this one. 570 00:26:15,234 --> 00:26:15,650 Look here. 571 00:26:15,722 --> 00:26:18,602 The Bible says that thou shalt not bear fault or thou shalt not 572 00:26:18,698 --> 00:26:20,114 take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 573 00:26:20,154 --> 00:26:21,642 Have you ever used God's name in vain? 574 00:26:21,738 --> 00:26:22,574 I have. 575 00:26:22,954 --> 00:26:23,954 How about this one? 576 00:26:24,034 --> 00:26:24,866 Honor your parents. 577 00:26:24,930 --> 00:26:25,914 Have you always done that? 578 00:26:25,954 --> 00:26:26,914 Do you honor your parents? 579 00:26:26,994 --> 00:26:27,774 I try. 580 00:26:28,274 --> 00:26:29,522 Well, let me ask you this, Sam. 581 00:26:29,578 --> 00:26:34,114 You just admitted to being a lying, thieving individual who uses 582 00:26:34,154 --> 00:26:35,458 God's name in vain. 583 00:26:35,586 --> 00:26:37,282 Do you think that honors your parents? 584 00:26:37,418 --> 00:26:39,914 No, it definitely doesn't, does it? 585 00:26:39,954 --> 00:26:41,690 I would have to say no as well. 586 00:26:41,882 --> 00:26:46,934 But the fact of the matter is we've broken God's laws. 587 00:26:47,314 --> 00:26:52,098 We're sinners not because we broke these laws, but because we're 588 00:26:52,146 --> 00:26:53,282 born sinners. 589 00:26:53,458 --> 00:26:54,738 We are born that way. 590 00:26:54,786 --> 00:26:55,434 But these are. 591 00:26:55,514 --> 00:26:57,810 This is how it's all manifested in our life. 592 00:26:57,922 --> 00:27:01,274 We didn't just break a law out here by speeding. 593 00:27:01,434 --> 00:27:02,666 We broke God's laws. 594 00:27:02,690 --> 00:27:04,010 We didn't break a civil law. 595 00:27:04,042 --> 00:27:11,380 We didn't break a run through a school zone running 80 miles an 596 00:27:11,412 --> 00:27:12,036 hour. 597 00:27:12,220 --> 00:27:13,820 You know, that's bad enough. 598 00:27:14,012 --> 00:27:16,980 And in fact, if you did that, what would happen if you got pulled 599 00:27:17,012 --> 00:27:18,252 over, what would happen? 600 00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:19,788 Put in jail or a ticket? 601 00:27:19,876 --> 00:27:20,196 Right. 602 00:27:20,260 --> 00:27:21,308 Probably get put in jail. 603 00:27:21,396 --> 00:27:24,184 That would be an offense worthy of jail. 604 00:27:25,204 --> 00:27:26,252 But that's not a. 605 00:27:26,308 --> 00:27:27,388 But that's not a. 606 00:27:27,516 --> 00:27:29,228 These are not man's laws that we broke. 607 00:27:29,276 --> 00:27:30,624 These are God's laws. 608 00:27:30,934 --> 00:27:34,398 And I want you to notice that just as there's a penalty for man's 609 00:27:34,446 --> 00:27:38,022 laws when we break man's laws, there's also a penalty for breaking 610 00:27:38,078 --> 00:27:39,318 God's laws. 611 00:27:39,486 --> 00:27:43,438 Notice what it says right there, that there's a price for sin 612 00:27:43,486 --> 00:27:43,998 to be paid. 613 00:27:44,046 --> 00:27:46,674 So the first thing we have to understand is we're all sinners. 614 00:27:48,374 --> 00:27:49,794 And that's such a. 615 00:27:51,054 --> 00:27:56,206 It's so a common word we use that so common people don't really 616 00:27:56,230 --> 00:27:57,700 feel the weight of that. 617 00:27:57,862 --> 00:28:02,648 But when I bring in God's laws, if God were to judge you, if 618 00:28:02,656 --> 00:28:05,936 you died today and God judged you by his laws, would you be innocent 619 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:06,616 or guilty? 620 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,792 I would be guilty. 621 00:28:07,928 --> 00:28:08,648 Mm. 622 00:28:08,816 --> 00:28:09,672 You see the weight. 623 00:28:09,728 --> 00:28:12,792 People don't understand the weight of the word sin until we bring 624 00:28:12,848 --> 00:28:13,960 God's law into it. 625 00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:15,560 It's God's laws that we broke. 626 00:28:15,672 --> 00:28:20,164 We're sinners by nature, by birth and by nature, and by choice, 627 00:28:20,584 --> 00:28:23,038 but we choose to break God's laws. 628 00:28:23,136 --> 00:28:27,466 And just like it's just like there's a penalty for man's sin or 629 00:28:27,490 --> 00:28:31,130 for man's laws, there's also a penalty for breaking God's laws. 630 00:28:31,242 --> 00:28:33,202 You see what the Bible says right there? 631 00:28:33,378 --> 00:28:36,122 See what it says in Romans, chapter 6, verse 23. 632 00:28:36,258 --> 00:28:38,774 The wages of sin is death. 633 00:28:39,394 --> 00:28:40,658 The wages of sin is death. 634 00:28:40,706 --> 00:28:42,762 Let's just stop right there at that point, okay? 635 00:28:42,898 --> 00:28:45,534 The wages of sin is death. 636 00:28:46,834 --> 00:28:48,266 You know what that word wage means? 637 00:28:48,290 --> 00:28:48,890 Do you have a job? 638 00:28:48,922 --> 00:28:49,462 Do you work? 639 00:28:49,538 --> 00:28:49,870 Yes. 640 00:28:49,942 --> 00:28:50,606 You get paid? 641 00:28:50,670 --> 00:28:51,394 I do. 642 00:28:51,694 --> 00:28:52,758 That's your wage. 643 00:28:52,846 --> 00:28:56,382 Whatever you do at the end of the week or two weeks or however 644 00:28:56,438 --> 00:28:59,694 often you get paid, that's the wage that you've earned. 645 00:28:59,854 --> 00:29:05,150 Well, the Bible says that the wage for our sin is death, but that's 646 00:29:05,182 --> 00:29:07,502 not just talking about the death of our body. 647 00:29:07,678 --> 00:29:11,526 That's bad enough, but the fact is, this is talking about the 648 00:29:11,550 --> 00:29:12,742 death of our soul. 649 00:29:12,878 --> 00:29:17,146 You see Ezekiel in the Old Testament, which I don't have that 650 00:29:17,170 --> 00:29:19,946 in front of us right now, but in the Old Testament, Ezekiel says, 651 00:29:20,050 --> 00:29:22,162 the soul of the Father and the soul of the Son. 652 00:29:22,218 --> 00:29:24,018 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. 653 00:29:24,066 --> 00:29:27,178 God said that every soul is mine, and the soul that sinneth, 654 00:29:27,226 --> 00:29:28,454 it shall die. 655 00:29:29,034 --> 00:29:30,974 Notice right here in the book of Revelation. 656 00:29:31,874 --> 00:29:32,974 Bear with me. 657 00:29:34,874 --> 00:29:37,018 Revelation is not on these tracks. 658 00:29:37,106 --> 00:29:39,570 That's why I always keep it in my New Testament. 659 00:29:39,682 --> 00:29:46,104 I always use it because I think this portion is very powerful. 660 00:29:47,684 --> 00:29:50,796 So I'll take my New Testament and I'll turn it to Revelation, chapter 661 00:29:50,860 --> 00:29:51,464 20. 662 00:29:52,044 --> 00:29:55,424 And I will show her this. 663 00:29:58,084 --> 00:29:59,584 I will show her this. 664 00:29:59,884 --> 00:30:02,260 Now, in the last day, there's going to be a. 665 00:30:02,452 --> 00:30:06,188 There's going to be a judgment when God judges man. 666 00:30:06,356 --> 00:30:10,950 And we see in Revelation, chapter 20, verse 21, this is called 667 00:30:10,982 --> 00:30:12,134 the Great White Throne Judgment. 668 00:30:12,174 --> 00:30:16,074 He says, I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. 669 00:30:16,374 --> 00:30:19,686 And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is 670 00:30:19,710 --> 00:30:20,838 the Book of Life. 671 00:30:21,006 --> 00:30:25,062 And the dead were judged out of those things which were written 672 00:30:25,118 --> 00:30:27,594 in the books according to their works. 673 00:30:27,894 --> 00:30:31,094 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it. 674 00:30:31,214 --> 00:30:35,744 And death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them. 675 00:30:36,404 --> 00:30:41,740 And they were judged every man according to their works. 676 00:30:41,852 --> 00:30:43,500 Now watch this part, Sim. 677 00:30:43,692 --> 00:30:47,104 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. 678 00:30:47,524 --> 00:30:49,944 This is the second death. 679 00:30:50,444 --> 00:30:53,084 Did you know that the Bible speaks of two deaths? 680 00:30:53,244 --> 00:30:55,024 Did you know there were two deaths? 681 00:30:55,404 --> 00:30:58,380 You see, there's the death of the body and then the death of the 682 00:30:58,412 --> 00:30:59,064 soul. 683 00:30:59,694 --> 00:31:05,894 Now, I also like to use Hebrews where Hebrews 9:27 says, 684 00:31:05,934 --> 00:31:06,830 as it is appointed. 685 00:31:06,862 --> 00:31:10,894 I don't think that's on here either, but I always incorporate 686 00:31:10,934 --> 00:31:11,894 it into my tracks. 687 00:31:11,934 --> 00:31:13,246 But I keep it in my New. 688 00:31:13,270 --> 00:31:15,350 Testament and I always go there after this. 689 00:31:15,542 --> 00:31:19,030 The Bible says right here in Hebrews 9:27, as it is appointed 690 00:31:19,062 --> 00:31:22,994 unto man once to die, but after this, the judgment. 691 00:31:23,414 --> 00:31:24,646 So let me ask you this, Sim. 692 00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:25,314 If. 693 00:31:25,684 --> 00:31:31,580 If we die and our body goes to the grave after say 10 years or so, 694 00:31:31,692 --> 00:31:33,304 what happens to that body? 695 00:31:34,204 --> 00:31:35,316 Decomposes. 696 00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:36,580 Decomposes. 697 00:31:36,732 --> 00:31:40,268 So if our body goes into the grave and it decomposes, then what 698 00:31:40,316 --> 00:31:41,504 goes to judgment? 699 00:31:43,684 --> 00:31:45,468 Our spirit or our soul? 700 00:31:45,636 --> 00:31:46,940 See, that's what we just read. 701 00:31:47,012 --> 00:31:51,156 The Bible says that our spirit, our soul will be cast, our 702 00:31:51,180 --> 00:31:52,584 soul die. 703 00:31:53,004 --> 00:31:55,444 And it's not annihilation. 704 00:31:55,604 --> 00:31:58,396 The death that it's talking about is in the lake of fire. 705 00:31:58,580 --> 00:32:00,652 The wages of sin is death. 706 00:32:00,828 --> 00:32:06,184 But that death is hell and the lake of fire, that's the judgment. 707 00:32:06,524 --> 00:32:09,516 Now, everything that I've told you up to this point, do you understand 708 00:32:09,580 --> 00:32:09,924 all that? 709 00:32:09,964 --> 00:32:11,236 Does that all make sense to you? 710 00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:11,572 Yes. 711 00:32:11,628 --> 00:32:13,384 Do you understand that you're a sinner? 712 00:32:13,684 --> 00:32:16,620 Do you see how that you've broken God's laws and not just man's 713 00:32:16,652 --> 00:32:17,334 laws? 714 00:32:17,524 --> 00:32:20,410 Do you see in the Bible how that God said there's a penalty for 715 00:32:20,442 --> 00:32:20,778 that? 716 00:32:20,866 --> 00:32:21,234 Yes. 717 00:32:21,314 --> 00:32:23,010 What is that penalty again? 718 00:32:23,202 --> 00:32:23,922 Death and hell. 719 00:32:23,978 --> 00:32:25,130 It's death and hell. 720 00:32:25,282 --> 00:32:27,778 Now, everything that I've told you up to this point is just bad 721 00:32:27,826 --> 00:32:28,594 news, isn't it? 722 00:32:28,674 --> 00:32:32,970 I mean, I didn't mean to just come bring a rain cloud to your house 723 00:32:33,042 --> 00:32:35,034 today, but that's pretty much what I've done. 724 00:32:35,074 --> 00:32:35,730 Right. 725 00:32:35,922 --> 00:32:38,898 Well, Sim, did you know that the word gospel actually means good 726 00:32:38,946 --> 00:32:39,534 news? 727 00:32:40,914 --> 00:32:41,650 First time? 728 00:32:41,762 --> 00:32:42,400 Yeah. 729 00:32:42,562 --> 00:32:43,116 Yeah. 730 00:32:43,220 --> 00:32:44,308 Well, it means good news. 731 00:32:44,356 --> 00:32:45,828 And all I've done is brought bad news. 732 00:32:45,876 --> 00:32:46,724 But it's bad news. 733 00:32:46,764 --> 00:32:48,268 What makes the good news good news? 734 00:32:48,316 --> 00:32:49,868 It wouldn't be good news if it didn't. 735 00:32:49,956 --> 00:32:52,644 If it wasn't followed by bad news, you'd have nothing to compare 736 00:32:52,684 --> 00:32:53,404 it to. 737 00:32:53,564 --> 00:32:57,700 And the good news is, let's look at the rest of that verse in 738 00:32:57,732 --> 00:32:59,124 Romans 6:23. 739 00:32:59,244 --> 00:33:01,292 Remember, the wages of sin is death. 740 00:33:01,468 --> 00:33:02,956 But look at this next part. 741 00:33:03,060 --> 00:33:04,891 Actually, look at Romans 5. 742 00:33:05,017 --> 00:33:05,584 8. 743 00:33:06,164 --> 00:33:08,558 It says, But God. 744 00:33:08,606 --> 00:33:09,286 Can you read that? 745 00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:09,646 Yes. 746 00:33:09,710 --> 00:33:10,582 Can you read that for me? 747 00:33:10,638 --> 00:33:15,502 But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet 748 00:33:15,558 --> 00:33:17,518 sinners, Christ died for us. 749 00:33:17,606 --> 00:33:18,590 Christ died for us. 750 00:33:18,622 --> 00:33:20,474 For the wages of sin is death. 751 00:33:21,294 --> 00:33:22,994 Christ died for us. 752 00:33:23,654 --> 00:33:27,958 God loved us so much that he demonstrated that love by allowing 753 00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:29,150 his son to die on the cross. 754 00:33:29,182 --> 00:33:30,582 You ever heard of John 3:16? 755 00:33:30,678 --> 00:33:31,354 Yes. 756 00:33:32,094 --> 00:33:34,358 That's a pretty universal verse, isn't it? 757 00:33:34,526 --> 00:33:35,550 Listen to what it says. 758 00:33:35,622 --> 00:33:38,974 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. 759 00:33:39,014 --> 00:33:40,110 You could put your name in there. 760 00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:45,622 For God so loved Sim that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever, 761 00:33:45,678 --> 00:33:51,230 you could put your name there, that if Sim believes in him, you 762 00:33:51,262 --> 00:33:53,790 should not perish but have everlasting life. 763 00:33:53,982 --> 00:33:56,990 That's the good news, is that God loved you enough to send his 764 00:33:57,022 --> 00:34:00,216 son to die in your place and pay that debt, that sin debt that 765 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,124 you owed. 766 00:34:02,064 --> 00:34:04,204 But it doesn't end there. 767 00:34:04,504 --> 00:34:07,888 You see, Jesus Christ, he not only paid. 768 00:34:08,016 --> 00:34:12,464 He paid our sin debt, but because Jesus is the God man. 769 00:34:12,544 --> 00:34:16,056 You've heard this term, God the Father, God the Son, God the 770 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,244 Holy Spirit, right? 771 00:34:17,584 --> 00:34:20,064 Well, God the Son. 772 00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:23,136 Most people don't even take that into consideration when they 773 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,368 think about Jesus Christ. 774 00:34:24,416 --> 00:34:27,310 But he is God and he was man. 775 00:34:27,502 --> 00:34:29,822 And he died on the cross for us. 776 00:34:29,918 --> 00:34:32,670 And he took our penalty as a man. 777 00:34:32,742 --> 00:34:34,834 He paid our debt as a man. 778 00:34:35,334 --> 00:34:37,574 And only as God, he could do that. 779 00:34:37,614 --> 00:34:38,702 He could rise from the dead. 780 00:34:38,758 --> 00:34:45,086 Because as a perfect man, he had no sin of his own to pay. 781 00:34:45,230 --> 00:34:47,262 He didn't have to pay the penalty for his own sin, only for 782 00:34:47,278 --> 00:34:48,310 yours and mine. 783 00:34:48,462 --> 00:34:53,052 So after three days, according to the Bible, he rose from the dead. 784 00:34:53,238 --> 00:34:56,352 And when he rose from the dead, because he did that, he conquered 785 00:34:56,408 --> 00:34:58,528 sin, he conquered death, he conquered hell. 786 00:34:58,616 --> 00:35:01,688 And he's able to offer us eternal life. 787 00:35:01,816 --> 00:35:03,960 I want you to notice with this Bible, look what it says. 788 00:35:03,992 --> 00:35:05,336 The wages of sin is death. 789 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,640 But what is that next part? 790 00:35:06,752 --> 00:35:07,592 The gift. 791 00:35:07,768 --> 00:35:10,240 The gift of what is what? 792 00:35:10,392 --> 00:35:15,040 Eternal life continue through Jesus Christ our Lord. 793 00:35:15,152 --> 00:35:19,650 The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 794 00:35:19,842 --> 00:35:23,450 You see, Jesus Christ, because He died on the cross, he paid our 795 00:35:23,482 --> 00:35:24,226 sin debt. 796 00:35:24,330 --> 00:35:26,018 He rose from the dead. 797 00:35:26,186 --> 00:35:29,642 He now can offer us eternal life as a gift. 798 00:35:29,738 --> 00:35:30,378 It's a gift. 799 00:35:30,426 --> 00:35:32,234 There's nothing you can do to earn it. 800 00:35:32,354 --> 00:35:33,362 I mean, when you. 801 00:35:33,498 --> 00:35:34,426 You know, when. 802 00:35:34,570 --> 00:35:38,538 If I was to say to you, Sim, I'll give you a thousand dollars 803 00:35:38,666 --> 00:35:41,854 if you'll just pick up that piece of trash off the floor. 804 00:35:42,354 --> 00:35:43,694 Would that be a gift? 805 00:35:44,204 --> 00:35:46,584 It would be a good deal, but not a gift, would it? 806 00:35:47,764 --> 00:35:53,836 If I said, sim, I'll give you $1,000 if you'll wash my dog for 807 00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:54,428 me one time. 808 00:35:54,476 --> 00:35:55,624 Would that be a gift? 809 00:35:56,044 --> 00:35:56,748 Why not? 810 00:35:56,836 --> 00:35:58,244 I'm still working for it. 811 00:35:58,324 --> 00:35:58,660 That's right. 812 00:35:58,692 --> 00:35:59,700 It's not a gift. 813 00:35:59,852 --> 00:36:02,940 And that's what God is trying to get us to understand, that salvation, 814 00:36:03,012 --> 00:36:04,860 eternal life is a gift. 815 00:36:05,052 --> 00:36:06,828 It's not something you can earn. 816 00:36:06,956 --> 00:36:08,516 Jesus Christ did everything. 817 00:36:08,580 --> 00:36:10,778 It's like when you give gifts to your kids at Christmas. 818 00:36:10,826 --> 00:36:12,042 You paid for that gift. 819 00:36:12,098 --> 00:36:13,130 They didn't do anything. 820 00:36:13,242 --> 00:36:16,134 Probably didn't deserve it, truth be known. 821 00:36:16,434 --> 00:36:20,370 But they still got it because we love them and it's their gift. 822 00:36:20,562 --> 00:36:25,234 And so the Bible says that the wages of sin is death, but the gift 823 00:36:25,274 --> 00:36:26,810 of God is eternal life. 824 00:36:26,922 --> 00:36:28,174 What's that next part? 825 00:36:29,314 --> 00:36:32,314 Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 826 00:36:32,474 --> 00:36:34,530 Sim, if I took this thousand dollars. 827 00:36:34,682 --> 00:36:39,356 Let's just, let's do a, do an illustration here real quick. 828 00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:40,704 What time is it? 829 00:36:41,004 --> 00:36:42,824 Okay, I'm almost done. 830 00:36:44,724 --> 00:36:46,916 Sim, let's pretend that I've got $1,000. 831 00:36:46,980 --> 00:36:47,484 I don't. 832 00:36:47,524 --> 00:36:48,412 Okay, we'll just. 833 00:36:48,508 --> 00:36:52,124 There's no thousand dollars in there, but let's pretend I had $1,000 834 00:36:52,164 --> 00:36:52,436 in here. 835 00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:55,636 And I said, sim, I've got a gift for you and I'd really like 836 00:36:55,660 --> 00:36:56,356 for you to have it. 837 00:36:56,420 --> 00:36:57,836 It's my gift to you. 838 00:36:57,980 --> 00:36:58,596 Okay? 839 00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:01,706 There's no strings attached, but it's $1,000. 840 00:37:01,780 --> 00:37:03,198 I want you to have it. 841 00:37:03,366 --> 00:37:04,154 Okay. 842 00:37:04,574 --> 00:37:06,654 What would you have to do to make that yours? 843 00:37:06,774 --> 00:37:07,502 Take it. 844 00:37:07,638 --> 00:37:09,158 You would have to take it, right? 845 00:37:09,286 --> 00:37:09,994 Okay. 846 00:37:11,254 --> 00:37:12,394 Just take it. 847 00:37:12,694 --> 00:37:13,674 That's right. 848 00:37:14,214 --> 00:37:17,478 Now, did you notice that you had to take the wallet? 849 00:37:17,566 --> 00:37:18,234 Yes. 850 00:37:18,614 --> 00:37:21,902 You see, unless you've got some kind of magical powers that 851 00:37:21,918 --> 00:37:25,534 you're not telling us, you can't just make that thousand dollars 852 00:37:25,614 --> 00:37:27,914 float out of the wallet and become yours. 853 00:37:28,534 --> 00:37:31,262 In order to get the thousand dollars that's inside the wallet, 854 00:37:31,318 --> 00:37:32,834 you have to take the wallet. 855 00:37:33,174 --> 00:37:38,270 You see, a lot of people, Sim, they want the benefits of Christianity, 856 00:37:38,462 --> 00:37:40,034 but they don't want Christ. 857 00:37:40,774 --> 00:37:41,742 They want the benefits. 858 00:37:41,798 --> 00:37:44,794 They want to go to heaven, but they don't want him. 859 00:37:45,094 --> 00:37:48,710 But the Bible tells us, according to that verse, that eternal 860 00:37:48,742 --> 00:37:54,184 life is a free gift, but it's through Jesus Christ they have to 861 00:37:54,224 --> 00:37:54,776 receive. 862 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,120 Jesus Christ. 863 00:37:56,312 --> 00:37:57,448 In John, chapter one. 864 00:37:57,496 --> 00:37:58,160 Let me show you this. 865 00:37:58,192 --> 00:38:02,088 In the New Testament, in John, chapter one, it says, he came unto 866 00:38:02,136 --> 00:38:05,724 his own and his own received him not that was the Jewish people, 867 00:38:06,104 --> 00:38:08,336 but to as many as received him. 868 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,680 To them he gave the power or the authority to become sons of God, 869 00:38:12,752 --> 00:38:13,912 children of God. 870 00:38:14,088 --> 00:38:17,680 See, it's only through receiving Jesus Christ that you can 871 00:38:17,712 --> 00:38:18,288 have that gift. 872 00:38:18,336 --> 00:38:21,622 Just like it's only through taking and receiving the wallet that 873 00:38:21,638 --> 00:38:22,894 you can have the thousand dollars. 874 00:38:22,934 --> 00:38:24,754 You can't have one without the other. 875 00:38:25,134 --> 00:38:27,726 So many people want to get to heaven, but they don't want Jesus 876 00:38:27,790 --> 00:38:28,394 Christ. 877 00:38:28,694 --> 00:38:30,270 Now, that's not the way it works. 878 00:38:30,302 --> 00:38:30,662 Sim. 879 00:38:30,758 --> 00:38:34,518 Okay, Now I want you to notice this last portion here. 880 00:38:34,686 --> 00:38:36,014 Does that make sense to you? 881 00:38:36,094 --> 00:38:37,550 Did you understand everything? 882 00:38:37,742 --> 00:38:38,958 Notice this last portion. 883 00:38:39,006 --> 00:38:40,514 The Bible says pray. 884 00:38:41,454 --> 00:38:41,990 I'm sorry? 885 00:38:42,022 --> 00:38:46,088 It says, for whosoever shall call upon upon the name of the Lord 886 00:38:46,136 --> 00:38:47,164 shall be saved. 887 00:38:47,544 --> 00:38:49,384 We're calling upon the Lord. 888 00:38:49,544 --> 00:38:50,344 What are we doing? 889 00:38:50,384 --> 00:38:53,644 When we call, we're asking or we're praying. 890 00:38:54,384 --> 00:38:56,792 Can't pick up the phone and dial heaven. 891 00:38:56,928 --> 00:38:59,208 But when we want to get hold of God, what do we do? 892 00:38:59,376 --> 00:39:06,000 We pray for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall 893 00:39:06,032 --> 00:39:06,804 be saved. 894 00:39:07,264 --> 00:39:09,360 But we're calling on him. 895 00:39:09,512 --> 00:39:12,330 And with this knowledge. 896 00:39:12,522 --> 00:39:16,694 Okay, we're calling on him with this knowledge, I'm a sinner 897 00:39:19,234 --> 00:39:22,294 and the penalty for my sin is death in hell. 898 00:39:23,674 --> 00:39:27,802 I'm calling on him with the knowledge that God loved me enough 899 00:39:27,978 --> 00:39:31,894 to send Jesus his Son, to die in my place on the cross. 900 00:39:33,034 --> 00:39:33,850 He did. 901 00:39:33,962 --> 00:39:36,784 He paid the debt I owed, but he rose from the grave. 902 00:39:36,874 --> 00:39:39,780 And because he rose from the grave, he can offer me eternal life. 903 00:39:39,932 --> 00:39:44,820 I'm calling on him, asking him to forgive me of my sin. 904 00:39:45,012 --> 00:39:47,212 And I'm asking Him to be my Savior. 905 00:39:47,388 --> 00:39:49,220 Do you see what that says there? 906 00:39:49,412 --> 00:39:49,860 Yes. 907 00:39:49,932 --> 00:39:50,804 Do you believe that? 908 00:39:50,884 --> 00:39:51,268 I do. 909 00:39:51,316 --> 00:39:53,636 Do you believe that if you called on Jesus today, he'd save 910 00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:53,964 you? 911 00:39:54,044 --> 00:39:54,476 I do. 912 00:39:54,540 --> 00:39:56,504 Would you like to call on Christ right now? 913 00:39:57,684 --> 00:39:58,824 God bless you. 914 00:39:59,564 --> 00:40:00,164 All right. 915 00:40:00,244 --> 00:40:01,384 Thank you very much. 916 00:40:02,334 --> 00:40:03,554 I was nervous. 917 00:40:04,374 --> 00:40:05,926 I left some stuff out. 918 00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:08,062 I forgot my New Testament. 919 00:40:08,198 --> 00:40:12,046 I didn't have my 10 commandment track, but I hope that 920 00:40:12,070 --> 00:40:13,078 you get the gist. 921 00:40:13,246 --> 00:40:15,314 Now, I took 10 minutes to do. 922 00:40:15,364 --> 00:40:17,110 That, 15 minutes to do that. 923 00:40:17,262 --> 00:40:19,166 I don't like to go that quickly. 924 00:40:19,310 --> 00:40:19,790 Okay. 925 00:40:19,862 --> 00:40:21,246 I went through it quickly because that's. 926 00:40:21,270 --> 00:40:22,030 All the time I had. 927 00:40:22,062 --> 00:40:27,510 But you see, I didn't need all of this, but a whole lot of it was 928 00:40:27,542 --> 00:40:28,294 incorporated. 929 00:40:28,414 --> 00:40:29,844 Did you see that it. 930 00:40:30,224 --> 00:40:33,552 And so I hope that helps you. 931 00:40:33,648 --> 00:40:34,352 I really do. 932 00:40:34,408 --> 00:40:35,784 I hope that it's a blessing. 933 00:40:35,904 --> 00:40:37,800 Thank you again for hanging out with. 934 00:40:37,832 --> 00:40:39,088 Me these several weeks. 935 00:40:39,136 --> 00:40:41,216 Thank you, Pastor, for allowing me to do this. 936 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,152 And I pray that God will allow us to see many souls saved. 937 00:40:45,208 --> 00:40:45,624 Amen. 938 00:40:45,704 --> 00:40:46,224 All right, Pastor.
