[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for listening to The Sousom Word by David Entry. The words you catch will change your world. May your story change from this message.
[0:12] Be blessed. Forensic justification. Forensic justification. Organic salvation.
[0:30] Our salvation is organic. What's the meaning of organic? When we say something is organic, what's the meaning? What's the meaning of organic?
[0:42] Yes, yes. Natural? Natural? Yes. Yes. Sorry?
[0:53] Something which is pure and hasn't been tempered with man-made chemicals. Pure, which hasn't been tempered with man-made chemicals and things like that. That's good.
[1:04] Yes? What did you say? Something which is living, which is alive. Say that again. Something which is alive, which is living. Something which... Where did you get that from? Something which is alive, which is living.
[1:18] She got it right. What most of you said wasn't very far from the truth, but she got exactly... Spot on. Say life.
[1:28] Life. Say living. Living. It's very important. Now, our salvation is organic. It's the salvation that brings us into life.
[1:41] It's very important. Now, anytime you read the New Testament, most of the time I discovered that when the Bible says life in the New Testament, it's not referring to normal, natural life.
[1:53] It's not referring to bios, okay? Vegetative or anything created. It's not... Oh! It's not referring to the created life.
[2:05] So, when you read the Bible, the Bible says that the Word of God is living. It's not talking about created life. Life. When you read the Bible, the Bible says that the Word of God is living. There's a place that says that for...
[2:17] Jesus said that thief comes not to steal... Comes not but to steal, kill it. But I've come that you may have what? Life. Now, that life. Anytime you read the Bible, the New Testament, you come across the word life.
[2:29] You have to pause to find out what kind of life. Most of the time, the New Testament is talking about the uncreated life. Now, when we are born again, we are already alive. You have to be alive to be born again.
[2:41] Because in the grave, you can't be born again when you are dead. In Ephesians chapter 2, it talks about... Verse 4, it talks about... And you, has he made alive? Or has he quickened? In Ephesians chapter 2, verse 1.
[2:52] It says that... And you, has he quickened? Who were once dead in your transgressions? Alright. So, and you, has he made alive? Let's not read it together from the screen.
[3:02] Let's go. And you, he has made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins. So, he made us alive. Alright. He gave...
[3:13] He brought us into life. So, when he justified us... This isn't just justified us and left us there. This whole thing is a package. The salvation package is one that brings us into life.
[3:29] It's very important. But what kind of life is the uncreated life of God? Very important. So, that is what makes it an organic salvation.
[3:42] Now, you understand why I said her answer. It makes it organic. Something that is living. So, our salvation is not like static. Like, okay, you were once...
[3:57] Okay, you travel... Let's not even be in the UK. You travel to UK. When you come to UK, you are not a citizen from somewhere. You come and relocate. Live here. After some time, whatever the problem you... Through marriage or through whatever process, you become a citizen.
[4:10] After you become a citizen, you are. That's all. Flat. Dead. Finished. You are a citizen. But our salvation is not like you are not one saved. Now, you are saved. So, that's finished. Now, when you are saved, it's...
[4:21] It's... It's... It's... Watch this. It's an organic salvation. So, it's living. It has life. Something that must continue to begin to... So, when you get born again, you don't receive the life because...
[4:32] Watch this. Because of your good works. So, God cannot give you his life without you being justified. So, oh, Jesus.
[4:43] Hallelujah. Justification takes place. Just... Or you receive life. But just at the same time, you are being justified. It's simultaneous. All right. So, the whole thing is that we are...
[4:55] We are not just justified for just the sake of justification. I am justified. You are justified to have life. Watch this. And to live the life of God.
[5:06] So, Galatians chapter 2 verse 20 says that... I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. And... But yet, not I. But the life which I now live, I live by faith.
[5:17] He's talking about I'm living this new life. If a man be in Christ, he is a new creation. The old is gone. Behold, all things have become new.
[5:28] 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17. So, once you come into Christ, you are introduced into this uncreated life. Which is that the life of God is in you. Now, that is where I took the Gubnazo from.
[5:43] You have to exercise it out. You have to begin to exercise. There are things you must do so that the life of God in you will comfortably gain an expression. So, when you get born again, externally, maybe if you have a long nose, it doesn't become short.
[5:59] Or, sorry, whatever. You have short hair. After being born again, it doesn't become long hair. Right? If you are tall, after being born again, you don't become short.
[6:09] Or vice versa. After being born again, nothing physically changes about you. So, they will see the same person. As a matter of fact, watch this.
[6:20] After being born again, your soul still is your soul. Now, your soul is where you have your thinking, your feelings, your desires, your tastes.
[6:32] It's all within your soul. So, have you realized that if, let's say, you used to like fried rice before you became born again. After being born again, they didn't really change. You still like, you still have a taste for fried rice.
[6:44] That is why there are people here who get born again and they are confused. But why am I still being tempted? Because your soul is not saved. Now, your spirit is saved.
[6:56] Your spirit received the life of God. And you begin to, Bible says that, so, there's always a war. Galatians chapter 5. There is always a war. The flesh wants to do this. And the spirit also wants to do this.
[7:08] So, they said, so that I'm not able to do what I want to do. Because there is war. Romans chapter 7, rather. And actually, Galatians 5 says that the flesh wars against the spirit.
[7:19] Alright, so, you either let your, you either go towards the desires of the flesh, which has to do with your soul. Or you have to go towards the desires of the spirit. Now, so, when you get born again, you have the life of God in you.
[7:31] Say, the life of God. The life of God. So, that's what makes it an organic salvation. But, so, how do I work this life in me? This life is not static.
[7:42] It's anything living is dynamic. Alright, so, when you read your Bible, when you listen to the word of God, and when you engage in practices that help your spirit grow, we get into what is called, there is a metabolic process that goes on.
[8:00] What is metabolism? Metabolism. What is metabolism? This is not a science class.
[8:11] What is metabolism? Metabolism. Yes. Sorry? A process of change. What is metabolism?
[8:24] Thank you, sir. What is metabolism? Josh? Take your time. Take your time. Take your time. Wola, wola, wola, wola.
[8:37] Say that again. If a chemical reaction is going to take place in a body where substances are worked at and change. It's a chemical reaction which takes place in the body. Where substances like the food we eat is change into energy.
[8:51] So where substances like the food we eat is change into energy, into all substance nutrients. That's actually metabolism. Where there is life, there needs to be metabolism.
[9:08] It's very important. Where there is life, there needs to be metabolism. So then, there is this whole, watch this, when you become born again, Jesus is in you.
[9:22] The life of God is in you. And he manages to, depending on how much you expose yourself to the word of God, to pray and things like that. It begins to, God begins to work himself in you.
[9:33] It's a metabolic process. So that your soul is rammed. That is filled with you and things that don't glorify God. With time, Christ is working himself into you through a metabolic process.
[9:47] And guess what? After a while, you begin to realize that Christ gains better and greater expression in your life. It's very simple but very important.
[9:59] Now, this is where sanctification comes in. So, we are justified by faith.
[10:09] Now, most of the time, I always was made to understand, actually, what's sanctification? What's sanctification?
[10:21] Sanctification, yes. Make something holy. Somebody say something over there. What? To be set apart. To be set apart. Okay?
[10:32] So, when you become born again, you are justified. But sanctification actually means to be set apart. To be actually sterilized.
[10:44] Cleared. All right? Now, watch this. Salvation. The whole salvation process of God. Do you know how it starts? It starts in the mind or intention of God.
[10:58] So, that's what Bible talks about. That he did it all according to the purpose of his own counsel. Ephesians chapter 2. Oh, sorry. Chapter 1.
[11:08] He did this all according to the purpose of his own counsel to the praise of his glory. Don't forget that. Remember when Pastor I was teaching to the praise of his glory? He did all these things by the purpose of his own counsel.
[11:20] Ephesians chapter 1 from verse 7 somewhere there. By the purpose of his own counsel to the praise of his glory. All right? So, he determines it. He plans everything and executes it to the praise of his glory.
[11:32] So, salvation starts with God's plan. God intended it. So, in Romans... I know you will like this. Let's go to Romans chapter 8. Go into your Bibles. Romans chapter 8 verse 29. The process of salvation.
[11:48] Romans chapter 8 verse... What did I say? Verse what? Verse 29. It says that for who he foreknew... That's the process. Okay?
[11:59] He foreknew... Who he foreknew... He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son. That he might be...
[12:10] I like this. That he might be what? Firstborn among what? Many brethren. All right? So, he foreknew...
[12:21] Predestined... That will be conformed to his son. That his son will be the firstborn amongst many brethren. Praise God.
[12:31] And then he goes on to say that... Moreover, who he predestined... He also called. Who he called... He also what?
[12:43] Justified. And who he justified... He also glorified. All right? So, he starts with... Foreknowing... The foreknowledge of God.
[12:56] Predestination. So, God... He foreknew us. He predestined us... To be conformed... Into the image of his son. So, that he needed... That's why... Watch this.
[13:06] You don't have to miss this. That's why Christ came down... So that we will be like him. So that we will become... Many brothers of Christ. God's objective...
[13:19] Is to have many sons. For God so loved the world... That he did what? He gave his only begotten son. Now... And when Christ came on earth...
[13:30] He was the only begotten son... Of the father. And so, at his baptism... Bible says that... Heaven opened... Matthew chapter 3... Heaven opened... And a voice came saying that...
[13:41] This is my beloved son... In whom I am well pleased. God gave his only... Beloved son. But... Watch this. After he died... Buried... And was resurrected...
[13:52] He became the first born... Son of God. How I explain it? So that we... Will become the many brothers... Of the first born...
[14:03] Son of God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Those he... Forknew... The... Them... He predestined...
[14:14] To be conformed... Into the image... Of his son... That he might be the first born... Amongst many brethren... Say many brethren... Amen. So Hebrews chapter 3...
[14:24] Calls us that... Holy brothers... Holy brothers... Right? He calls us... Holy brothers... Because we are not just... Followers. Amen.
[14:37] As a matter of fact... when he resurrected from the dead, before he did that, if you study the Bible very carefully, there was no way he called his disciples his brothers. Until he died and resurrected in John chapter 20, verse 19, I think.
[14:52] Is it 17? Verse 19. Put it on the screen. Let me show you something. So he died and resurrected. And when he died and resurrected, then John chapter 20, verse 17. And Jesus said to her, do not cling to me.
[15:04] Don't touch me. Why? For I have not yet ascended to my father. But go and tell who? My brethren. He didn't say my disciples. Go and tell my brethren.
[15:16] It's after his resurrection, he started addressing them as his brothers. For those of you who are not sure, brethren mean brothers. Okay. Brothers. Brothers and sisters.
[15:27] Okay. So go and tell my brothers. Watch this. Go and tell my brethren and say to them, I'm ascending to who? My father and? Your father. All along he kept telling them, my father, my father, my father.
[15:39] But now he says, my father and your father. Okay. So, after resurrection, he became the firstborn son of God.
[15:51] Pastor, what do you mean by all this, firstborn son of God? Now, I'll come back to this matter, but I want to finish on Romans chapter 8, verse 29, to get something.
[16:03] So, the process of salvation is what? For knowledge, predestination, so for new, he predestined, he predestined, he called, that's very important.
[16:13] He called, and those he called, he justified, and those he justified, the end product, the final, the final stage of that salvation process is glorification. Okay.
[16:25] So, you know, we've been dealing with justification. We're talking about, I'm justified, I'm in, I'm justified. For we are justified by grace, by faith, by grace, through faith.
[16:40] All right. That's how we got justified, not based on our works. So, we didn't have to do anything. All we have to do is to believe, and put our faith in Christ, and we are justified. And so, but before you get justified, you always have to understand, that you didn't get justified, don't think you came to believe Jesus, because you are smart.
[16:59] That is why, one day I said on TV, when I was preaching, and I believe it firmly, that people don't get converted, based on good preaching. Good reasoning.
[17:11] I'll prove to you, I'll prove, that's why arguments, don't get people saved. It's, what gets people saved, is conviction of the Holy Spirit, and then they accept it.
[17:23] So, that is why, an illiterate, somebody who doesn't even know anything, about the Bible, and all he knows is, John 3, 16, can go and preach the gospel, to somebody, and the person will be saved. Because, it doesn't take how much you know, in the Bible, to get somebody saved.
[17:37] God just uses, your message, your voice, as his, as his agent, or as his medium, through which, he gets people convicted, for them to be saved. Because, before you were saved, he has already, he already foreknew you, and he has predestined you, and he's now calling you.
[17:52] And when he calls you, you answer, you are justified. And those, also, those who he justified, do I have anybody, who is justified here?
[18:03] Do I have anybody, who is justified here? Shout, I'm justified. Shout, I'm justified. So, in Romans chapter 8, verse 30, it said, and those he justified, he glorified.
[18:18] Now, we have been justified, now we are on our way, to being glorified. It's a process. It's a process.
[18:29] The final stage, the final stage, of our salvation, is glorification. We shall be glorified.
[18:40] So, when are we going to be glorified? We are going to be glorified, the full, oh Lord, the full glorification, is going to take place, when we meet him.
[18:54] And watch this, I said I was going to explain this, that, why, did I say, Jesus was the, only begotten, and now he's the first born, son of God.
[19:07] Look at, Acts chapter 13, verse 33, you can mark this, if the Bible belongs to you. Thank you Jesus.
[19:24] I love to teach these things. Now, and God has fulfilled, this for us, this is, when the apostles, were given the accounts, of what God has done, in Jesus, God has fulfilled this, for us, his children, as their children, he promised, he gave promises, to our fathers, okay, the fathers, and now the promise, has been fulfilled, to us, their children, in that he raised, Jesus Christ, he raised up, Christ, Jesus, as it is also written, in the second psalm, you are my son, today, I have begotten you.
[20:00] Watch this. Now, he connected, the fact that God raised, Jesus Christ from the dead, to the second psalm, okay, so, the second psalm said, you are my son, today, I have begotten you.
[20:13] He was begotten, watch this, I will explain it very clearly, he was begotten, on the day, he was resurrected, from the dead. Now, in other words, he, watch this, he became, a son, I'm going to use, a very interesting, English, phrase, not a phrase, it's a term, which I had somewhere, which I think I would like to use, we, he was sunized, he was sunized, and then when we became born again, we were also, what, sunized, so, we became many sons, of God now, so, he became the first born, how did he become a first born, when he came on earth, okay, he needed to go through, a process, say process, process, process of a human life, living as a human being, watch this, he lived as a human being, that's why he was angry, he did all the miracles, he did not as God, most of you think that, oh, he just did all that, because he was God, no, all the miracles he did, miracles he did, he did it, as man, alright, so,
[21:19] Bible talks about how, there's a song we sing, you laid aside your majesty, gave up everything for me, suffered at the hands, of those you have created, so he laid his majesty aside, in Ephesians chapter 2, it talks about how, Jesus Christ, lowered himself, Bible said, he did not count it, robbery to be equal with God, Ephesians chapter 2, verse 5, but then, he gave up all his, privileges, as God, and became man, now, when he became man, he restricted himself, so when he was alive, that's why he was hungry, do you know Jesus was hungry, check the Bible, Bible says, he went to fast, and, when, Bible says, after 40 days, when he was, I hung it, or, when he was hungry, the devil came to tempt him, so Jesus was hungry, there were times, Jesus wept, John 10, 35, and Jesus wept, no, God, wept, and Jesus slept, Bible says, he that keep us, he does not sleep, nor slumber, so the man, the guy was sleeping, in the boat, even in the middle of the storm, he was sleeping, now, on the pillow, very comfortably, so, so that, if this is the one, who is keeping you, who even in the middle of the storm, was asleep, then it's, contradicting the scripture, which says that, the Lord that keepeth the, 2, 1, 2, 1, sorry, 1, 2, 1, the Lord that keepeth the, he shall not, he will never, the Lord that keepeth, he will not stand, but not sleep, but he was asleep, but no, watch this,
[22:54] I, I think I've said this here before, I said, no, a Muslim confronted, a friend of mine, years ago, and he says that, okay, you Christians, you say Jesus Christ was God, when he died on the cross, and he died, that means your God was dead, he didn't die as God, God doesn't die, how can God die, in fact, God cannot be born, and secondly, even if God, that's one thing, God cannot create another God, do you know why, because, if he creates another God, that God is not God, because God is uncreated, and so, so, God did not die, it's, watch this, it's human beings that die, how can God be born, that's why she's not the mother of God, God cannot have mother, Mary, God cannot have, how can Mary be mother of God, pray for us sinners, now for the other, I'm not a sinner, I'm not a sinner, don't pray for me, I'm justified, and you also say, pray for our sinners, that prayer is for sinners, but if you are justified,
[23:56] God, so, so, so, so, so, that Jesus, watches, God laid aside his majesty, restricted himself in humanity, wrapped himself, in the womb of a woman, with humanity, and was born, as a human being, and then, so, this human Jesus, who was born, who was once upon a time, a fetus, in the womb of a woman called Mary, for nine months, after he was born, that fetus was born, he was God in man, okay, watch this, he was born, he lived a natural life, at the food we eat, Bible, there's a song that says that, he walked where I walked, he felt what I felt, Bible says that he was tempted at all points, just like us, all right, watch this, this is very important, I'm leading, we are going to Hebrews, all right, so, he had to come, watch this, he had to come and live this natural life, so that he will be qualified, to be a high priest for us, because he lived where we live, now watch this, so, after he took the human flesh, he lived a human life, 33 and a half years, he was crucified, the human life was crucified, the human life was buried, and on the third day, who rose, that Jesus, the human life that was buried, that Jesus, human, humanity, he was buried, and he rose, now, when he rose from the dead, for the first time in history,
[25:42] God said, I've got a son, wow, so God declared Jesus his son, by the resurrection, does that make sense, now, human, human being became, became the son of God, he was sonized, Romans, let me show you, let me prove it to you, Romans chapter 1 verse 4, Romans 1 verse 4, let's read it from the screen, let's go, let's go to verse 3, so that it can make sense, concerning his son, who, Jesus, our Lord, who was born, of the seed of David, according to what, the flesh, so now he's talking about, this Jesus was born, according to the flesh, right, according to the flesh, he was the seed of David, go to the next verse, verse 4, yeah, and who, who was declared, who was declared, to be what, the son of God, but I thought he was, the son of God already, no, no, no, not in that way, he was declared, to be the son of God, with power, according to the spirit of holiness, how was it done, by the resurrection, from the dead, that is why, after he resurrected, from the dead, he said, go and tell my brothers, go and tell my brothers, because then, we, he became the first born son, from the dead, and we became, the many brothers, of his, hallelujah, say,
[27:15] I'm the brother of Jesus, no, if, whether you're a woman, or a man, just say, I'm the brother of Jesus, say, I'm the brother of Jesus, now, that brother, does not mean, is not gender sensitive, all right, other than that, you should be saying, quindom, united quindom, because we have a queen, say, I'm the brother of Jesus, when you come to, when you read the Bible, and you see these things, these are, these are terminologies, that define our heritage, and our inheritance, okay, it's in the, in that order, it is sons, that inherit the fathers, so then, if you are a son, you don't have to be a daughter, it's not, it's not got anything, to do with gender, because, when we go to heaven, there's no male, no female, gender doesn't count, because it's only on this earth, for the purposes of marriage, and project, procreation, that's why we need, a man, and a woman, but apart from that, what's the difference, when a baby is born, the only thing that defines, whether, the gender, is, is, is, is, is, so, that, watch, it was declared, to be the son of God, look at first Peter,
[28:30] I've got a few scriptures, and I've got, five more minutes, look at, look at, look at, look at, look at first Peter, chapter one, verse three, you like this text, you like this text, first Peter, chapter one, verse three, I feel, the Holy Ghost in here, I'm enjoying this thing, is somebody getting something, now, blessed be God, blessed be God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant message, has begotten us again towards, a living, you see that, that living there, see that living, I told you, when you see the word life, living, this is not talking about, the creator life, this is talking about, uncreated life, so this hope we have, is not from human, the source is not human, the source is God himself, alright, living hope, alright, through their what, now, look at the text again, blessed be God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has, according to his abundant mercy, has done what, has done what, what does it mean to beget, bring forth, my only begotten son, what does it mean to be, to be got, to beget, what does it mean, to bring forth, okay, to beget, watch this, watch this, watch this, so, we are begetting, or we are begotten, by God, how did he do that, through the resurrection, of Jesus Christ, because through the resurrection, he himself, was declared to be, the son of God, and after he was declared, we also, now are begotten, so that is why, when you are born again, you identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, then you,
[30:00] Bible says, if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation, all right, and God did this for us, not imputing the sins, of the world to them, by reconciling, the world to himself, through Christ, through the work of Christ, so Christ has to go, through the process, until death, and then resurrected, so that we, shall, we, shall also be, the many sons of God, I'm leading this student, to get you to understand, remember, the process of, our salvation, is what, he foreknew, predestined, called, justified, and glorified, now, let me show you, the scripture, then we can really run up, I probably have to come, Hebrews chapter two, Hebrews chapter two, you know, when you study the text of Hebrew, the Hebrew letters, the Hebrew letter was actually, trying in the early stages, trying, because Hebrews, all right, if you read Hebrews, you can't tell, it talks a lot about the customs, and the rituals, in the Old Testament, times, now, he compared Christ, to the angels, he compared Christ, to the greatest figure, in the Old Testament, who is that, who is that,
[31:23] Moses, Moses was the greatest figure, in the Old Testament, so, the Hebrew, the book of Hebrew, compares Christ, to angels, compared Christ, to Moses, compared Christ, to the priesthood, the high priest, that is where, he says that, Jesus' high priesthood, is not from, the normal, Aaronic priesthood, Levitical priesthood, but from, according to, the Melchizedek priesthood, which is, which is higher, than the Aaronic priesthood, all right, so, he began to compare Jesus, so that he, talking about, the high priestly, work of Christ, for us, so that the blood of Jesus, atones for our sins, not the sacrifices, in the Old Testament, so, Hebrews was mainly, talking about the body, Hebrews chapter 2, he focused, Hebrews chapter 2, he focused much more, on the, the, the angelic, beings, and he says that, Jesus and the angels, is far better, okay, Jesus is far better, so from verse 9, talks about how, Jesus was made, a little lower, than angels, now, if you are, if you have to understand this, he, in his glory, but we see Jesus, who, was made, a little lower, than what, angels, now what does that mean, angels are, um, celestial beings, they have power, they have some levels, of power, and levels of privileges, that we as human beings, ordinary human beings, don't have, okay, because you can't go, through the world, can anybody go, through the world, then you give me, your bus pass, then you can go home, you can vanish, but angels, can appear anywhere, can move through stuff, right, so as a human being, there are a lot of limitations, that you have, as a human being, now Jesus Christ, by becoming a human being, he lowered himself, to restrict himself, in such a way, that even, in such a way, that angels, were not even, that restricted, so Bible said, he made himself,
[33:13] Jesus Christ, we see Jesus, who was made, a little lower, than angels, for the suffering, of death, crowned with glory, and honor, that he, by the grace of God, might taste death, for everyone, he had to die, angels don't die, so then when you go to those, even demons don't die, let alone angels, when you go to those meetings, all the demons, we are killing them, we are killing them, it's a crazy kind of prayer, why can't he kill demons, if they are killing demons, Paul said, they're killing them, long ago, they would have all been gone, now you say, no, no, they've given birth, more, like the way, they give birth, no, no, demons don't die, there is a designated time, when God is going to judge, all demons, so angels don't die, but Jesus had to die, for us, so we can be justified, you remember justification, it takes his death, for us to be justified, it takes his death, for our sins, to be paid for, okay, so Jesus had to, become little lower, than angels, for the purposes of death, all right, go to the next verse, you like this,
[34:14] I'm going to be ending very soon, you like this, verse 10, verse 10, for, this is too good, scripture, can't you see, when you read the bible, this I love this, for it is fitting for him, that him is, for fitting for him, for God, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing, in bringing, to where, to the Lord, you remember, the process of salvation, those he foreknew, he called, sorry, predestined, and those he predestined, he called, those he called, he justified, like you and I, we are justified, and those he justified, glorified, no, he said, he pleased God, by whom, and for whom are all things, in bringing, how many sons, not only one, many, all right, that's why, when he predestined, and called us, he predestined us, to be conformed, into the, image of his son, so that he, Jesus, will become the firstborn, amongst, many, many, all right, so, for those, bringing many sons, to glory, to make the captain, of their salvation, perfect, through suffering, captain, of their salvation, now, what does he mean, by captain, of our salvation, captain, means, captain, means, the author, author, when you read some translation, he uses the word, author,
[35:33] I think, King James, or something, he uses the word, author of our salvation, he is the, he is the originator, he is the originator, he, I wrote some words here, he is not, captain means, he is the inaugurator, he is the pioneer, he is the leader, he is the forerunner, say forerunner, forerunner, Hebrews 6, 20, talks about, Jesus Christ is our forerunner, he has gone ahead of us, okay, so when he became the son, when he resurrected, he went into glory, so that, so where our for, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, he is our forerunner, right, so going back to, Hebrews chapter 9, chapter 2, verse 11, or verse 10, was it verse 10, we're reading here, verse 10, it says that, for it's fitting for him, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect, now, what does it mean, for him to be made perfect, the captain of our salvation, means that, he is the one, who, who engineered, who inaugurated our salvation, which God has planned, so he came to, in Ephesians chapter 1, it talks about, he came to,
[36:37] God, God determines the salvation, Christ, Christ, executes the salvation, and the Holy Spirit, applies it to us, right, so Jesus Christ, is the inaugurator, he is the pioneer, he is the leader, of our salvation, what does he mean, to make him perfect, what does he mean, to make him perfect, to make him perfect, doesn't mean, Jesus Christ, didn't have perfection, or, by, so long as virtue was concerned, watch this very carefully, because somebody said, Jesus was not perfect, because the Bible says, he was made perfect, through death, no, the perfect there, is to make him, like he is, he, when you talk about, the matters regarding our salvation, he is most qualified, and properly suited, so, that's, through here to suffer, go through death, so that he will become, a perfect, pioneer, a perfect, the proper, somebody who, they have to go through, their process, say process, process of being born, angels can't do that, angels can't, don't get, don't give birth, they were created beings, they are not born, okay, so, angels don't, don't go through birth, they don't suffer, they don't go through death, but Jesus Christ, came to live, our human life, was born like you and I, had the mother, had the father, had friends, was, he played with his friends,
[37:55] I believe he was playing football, or ping pong, he lived a normal life, ate the normal food, ate bread, okay, to understand that, the Pharisees were accusing him, that he likes food, every time there's parties there, but, Jesus Christ lived that life, and went through death, punishment, so that he would become, the, the author of our salvation, he was made perfect, through death, through suffering, now I'll go to the next verse, and I'll end on that, did you see that, let's all read it together, when you, and I got, and those who have been sanctified are all in one.
[38:38] For which reason he will save you. Oh, no. Man! Man! For both, for both he who sanctifies and those of us who have been sanctified are all of the same source.
[39:02] Wow. Many brothers, many sons of the same source. God is our source. So we are all of the same source. Now, this is where my message of sanctification was going to pick up from.
[39:17] So we are being sanctified. And who is the sanctifier? He. Now, next week I'm going to take you to Ephesians chapter 5 where it talks about he gave himself, husband, love your wife, just as Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it that he might sanctify the church through the washing of water by the word.
[39:36] And then verse 27 says that that he might present him a glorious church. Our destination is glory. So after we are justified, the next step is glorification.
[39:50] But the glorification, we need to go through the process of sanctification. Say, I'm sanctified. Say, I'm justified. I'm justified. I'm justified. I'm the brother of Christ.
[40:01] I'm the brother of God. We are the many sons of God. Christ is the firstborn son. And we are the many sons. We are his many brothers. In the name of Jesus.
