[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to this Spirit-filled Word by David Entry. A time to hear God's Word is a time to be visited. May you receive a visitation as you listen to this message.
[0:14] Be blessed. Romans chapter 3 verse 23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
[0:30] Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood.
[0:48] To declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are passed through the forbearance of God.
[0:59] To declare Isaiah at this time His righteousness. That He might be just and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.
[1:18] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. But by what law? Of works? Nay.
[1:29] But by the law of faith. Therefore, we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
[1:40] Is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also.
[1:53] Seeing it is one God who shall justify the circumcision by faith and the uncircumcision through faith. Here ends the reading of God's holy word.
[2:05] Shall we pray? Father, thank you for bringing us together. For the purposes of experiencing you. For the purposes of hearing from you.
[2:17] For the purposes of enjoying you. And for the purposes of growing in you. All to your glory. As your word is taught. Holy Spirit.
[2:27] The teacher of truth. The only source of true. Genuine truth. As I teach your word. All around. Anyone listening. In this building and beyond.
[2:39] Those in the viewing centers. And those in their homes. All around the world. And those who even listen to this message later. Let Christ be revealed. Let the scripture speak.
[2:52] And let revelation come. Thank you. In Jesus name. Amen. Hallelujah.
[3:05] Well. The cross. Is Easter Friday. And. It is. The biggest. Most important celebration.
[3:17] In Christianity. Easter. Easter. Is the most important. Celebration. If Christians. Are to have any celebration.
[3:28] Really. The most important one. Is Easter. Yes. Because. Easter. Is. All. The. The death.
[3:39] Of Christ. Is what. Gives meaning. To his human existence. The main reason. Why Jesus came. On earth. Is for.
[3:49] The purpose. Of dying. That's why he came. He came. On earth. To die. But.
[4:01] Pastor. Everybody who comes on earth. Dies. No. He. His dying. Was different from our dying. Because. According to John. Chapter 10. He said.
[4:12] I lay down my life. All. All. Others. Who die. They don't lay down their lives. Because. If you lay down your life. You should be able to take it up. Even.
[4:23] If you. Anyone who commits suicide. Didn't lay their life down. They were killed. They were. Their lives. Was taken from them. They took. They took their lives. That's why I say.
[4:34] He took his life. Yeah. But. Jesus. Life. Was not taken from him. He laid down his life. In John. Chapter 9. Team. He told.
[4:44] Pontius Pilate. Pontius Pilate. Are you not. I said. Are you not answering me? Do you know who you are talking to? Do you know who you are dealing with? Are you not answering me? Hey. Don't you know.
[4:55] The enormity. And the gravity. Of the reason why you are standing here. And I'm talking to you. You won't talk back to me. He said. Hey. I have the power. To kill you. Release you.
[5:06] Or the power. To crucify you. He made Jesus speak out. Jesus said. You have no power at all over me. Except it be given to you.
[5:18] You have no power. So stop boasting. And go ahead with your job. Go ahead with your job. Because. The death of Christ.
[5:31] Was not accidental. The death of Christ. Was planned. It was a planned thing. Who planned it?
[5:42] Oh. Some wicked men planned it. Yes. They did. Bible says that. In John. Acts chapter 4. From verse. 27. I think. So 27.
[5:52] It says that. They. They took counsel together. So they planned. When you read. In Matthew. In John. In Luke. It says that. They planned. How they might kill him.
[6:04] Yeah. So in. In John. It says that. Against your holy. Your holy servant. Jesus Christ. Who you anointed. Both Therode and Pontius Pilate. With the Gentiles.
[6:14] And the people. Were gathered together. Verse 28. Were gathered. To. To do whatever your. Your hand and purpose. Have determined to be done. Beforehand. One of their verses.
[6:24] Talks about how. They took counsel. All right. And then when you read. In the Gospels. Bible said. Even. When Lazarus. Resurrected from the dead.
[6:35] They say. You see. More people. Are going to that. So. They even plan more. To kill him. Yeah. The King James. Says that. For. To do whatever. Thy hand and thy counsel.
[6:47] Is determined. That's not the one. So. They actually. Planned. To kill him. So. The Bible says that. They. They conspired. It's so strong.
[6:58] In the book of. John. In the book of Matthew. In the book of Luke. They planned. To the extent. That when Lazarus. Resurrected from the dead. They say. You see. More people. Are going to. If we don't get rid of this guy.
[7:08] He's going to. Bring us problem. So. His death. Was not accidental. They. They planned it. Then from the. From that day forth. They took counsel. Together. To put him to death.
[7:20] Talking about. The leaders. Of the people. So. Jesus' dying. On the cross. Was. Was intentional. People sat down. And planned it. But. They were. The secondary planners.
[7:31] There was a primary planner. There was a primary. A primary planner. That is what. Acts chapter 4. Verse 28. Says. They.
[7:41] They. They did. What God. Bible says that. They. Whatever. The hand of God. And his counsel. Determined to be done. In Acts.
[7:53] Chapter. 2. Verse. 23. Acts chapter 2. Verse 23. Bible says that. Jesus Christ. Him. Being delivered. By the determined.
[8:03] Counsel. And the foreknowledge. Of God. So. It was. God. Has already determined. That. At this particular time. Nothing late.
[8:14] And nothing earlier. That's why. There were so many. Assassination attempts. On his life earlier. But it was. All futile. In fact. In John chapter. When. Luke chapter 4. When he started.
[8:25] His ministry. The early. The first preaching. He did. In his hometown. They. They took stones. They took him. To the brow of the hill. To stone him. To kill him. In Luke chapter 4.
[8:35] From verse 28. 29. Bible says. They took him. To go and kill him. To stone him. They took him to the. But he just. Walked. And went away. When he got there. Just okay. He walked away. Because.
[8:46] He said. I laid down my life. You can't kill me. But. His death. Had to be. At a particular time. And. In a particular way. And all that.
[8:57] Was the. Planning of God. So. When. Pointeous. Pilate. Verse 13. Of. I think. John chapter 19. When he was. Determined. In himself. To release him.
[9:09] It didn't work. He had. He said. He said. I have authority. To release you. And now. He was. Determined. To let Jesus go. He attempted. To release his.
[9:19] Verse 12. But from henceforth. Pilate sought. To release him. But it was. Unsuccessful. In. Acts chapter. I think. Chapter 4. Verse 13.
[9:30] Or so. Chapter 4. When. Bible says that. They denied. The Holy One. When. Even when. Pilate. Was determined. To let him go. They denied.
[9:40] The. The. The. The. The. The. The requested. A murder. To be released. Says that. But. You denied. The Holy One. And the just. And. Desired. A murder.
[9:51] To be granted. To you. And he says that. Even when. Pilate. Was determined. To let him go. They said. Give us. Barabbas. And crucify Jesus. Pilate. Determined.
[10:02] To release him. But. It wasn't. In his. Power. It was. In his. Political. Power. But it wasn't. In his. The plan of God. It says that. The God of Abraham.
[10:14] The God of Abraham. Isaac. And Yaakov. The God of our fathers. Hath glorified his son. Jesus. Whom he delivered up.
[10:25] And denied him. In the presence of Pilate. When he was determined. So Pilate was. He had planned that. These guys. I won't kill this man. I won't kill.
[10:36] What they are doing. Let's just go through the procedure. It's like you are going for an interview. And they know they won't give you the job. They just go through. They know their job is gone. So. The same way. He said. Let's just go through the procedure. Because these guys are not looking.
[10:47] We'll release him. We'll release him. You know that. Like some information. He come up about some politician. He said. Oh. Let him make noise. But it don't go. He's just taking it. So. Pilate. He chooses who dies.
[10:59] So he was determined that. Ah. For once. This guy. He won't die. But it wasn't. It wasn't in his power. Why? Because. God has planned it.
[11:11] When God plans it. Who can cancel it? So. The death of Jesus. Was. According. Two people who planned it. Two groups.
[11:22] First group. Was the secondary planners. That's what we see. When you watch the. Passion of the Christ. You will never see the original planner. The original planner.
[11:33] Is God himself. He. He planned. The death of Jesus Christ. So. Jesus Christ. Came on earth. To die. The primary reason. For his coming on earth.
[11:44] Would have been nullified. Neutralized. Invalidated. If he had not gone to the cross. The main reason. He said. To this end. Came I. To this end.
[11:55] To this end. Was I born. He was born. For a purpose. He came on this earth. To die. On the cross. He came. So he will go. Straight to the cross.
[12:05] To redeem humanity. From sins. So. Jesus Christ. I want you to understand. That. When some people say. But how can God. Be so cruel. And allow Jesus.
[12:16] To die on the cross. That's why I'm teaching. This message. Because. It was the plan of God. God. In fact. In Isaiah. They had.
[12:27] A conference. In heaven. God the father. God the son. God the holy spirit. And. I think some angels. Were also there. God had a conference. End of year conference.
[12:40] That's just a joke. He had a conference. And God said. Whom shall I send. And who will go for me. And the whole. Bible talks about. How the heavens.
[12:50] Was quiet. And. There's a song. And then. The heavens. Became quiet. And the voice said.
[13:00] Send me. I will go. You remember that song. Yeah. I know you will know it. You should have got him born again.
[13:11] A bit earlier. When you read. It says that. There was silence in heaven. That's once. It says that. There was silence in heaven.
[13:23] And the voice said. Send me. Here I am. Send me. And I will go. Yeah. Also I heard a voice saying. Who shall I send.
[13:34] And who will go. And he said. Here I am. There's another version. No version. But in Isaiah. One of the. He said. There was silence in heaven. But. He said. Send me.
[13:44] And I will go. So. Watch this. He said. Send me. So when he came on earth. In Hebrews. He said. Sacrifices and offerings.
[13:56] Hebrews. Is it Hebrews chapter. Five. Verse nine. No. It can't be five. Nine. So. It's. Rather. Hebrews chapter 10. From verse five. Somewhere there. It talks about. Sacrifices. Or chapter one.
[14:06] Right. Yeah. It says that. Above all. Yeah. He said. Sacrifices and offerings. And don't forget this text. Okay. And offerings and bent offerings. For sins. Thou wouldest not.
[14:19] Neither has. Neither. Has pleasure therein. Which are offered. By the law. Give me a new king James please.
[14:32] Previously saying. Sacrifices and offerings. Bent offerings. And offerings for sins. You did not desire. Nor had pleasure in them. You didn't.
[14:43] He wasn't interested in this. Can you imagine. You are sacrificing. God. God is not interested. When you are feeding a child. Sometimes. It depends on what food. The child likes.
[14:53] Some food. Some children don't like. Give you. They would. They would continue playing. But otherwise. They would begin to come. Yeah. There are certain sacrifices. God. You say.
[15:04] Don't worry. Don't worry. Let them go ahead. But this is not. I'm not interested. But he commanded them to do it. Why did he do that? I'm going to tell you why. So they were offering sacrifices.
[15:14] He wasn't interested in. Why is he not interested? He had no pleasure. This thing doesn't. It doesn't do it for me. This thing you offer.
[15:25] It doesn't do it for me. It doesn't do it for me. God said all these things. So. Jesus said. Look at verse 9. Look at verse 9. Then said I. Behold. Kadabashahaya.
[15:37] Behold. I come to do your will. Oh God. He has taken away the first. That he might establish the second. The first way of doing this. He said it wasn't working. So he had to come and take away the.
[15:49] So all the sacrifices that were happening in the Old Testament. Including Isaac. If his father had sacrificed him. He shouldn't have done it. He shouldn't have done it.
[16:00] The sacrifices of bulls. The sacrifices of goats. The heap offerings. The sin offerings. The festivals.
[16:11] All those. Those sacrifices. They never did it for God. They never did it for God. People who walked with God like Moses. After they sacrificed it.
[16:22] They went back home. They knew that. No. The thing. This thing doesn't work. And it always left a question on their hearts. And their minds. It's like.
[16:34] You are given a key. To a room. And that's not a room for the kill. The key for the room. You go and you put it. It doesn't open.
[16:45] You know. You've tried it. And then. You say okay. You take it. You see like that. And then you get there. The key didn't open. But they press something. And the door open. Now when you enter.
[16:55] You know. The key was just like. It's just. Just like a representative. Dummy. It's a dummy key. It's a. I like that. It's a dummy key.
[17:06] So how come. A dummy key got the job done. When you go in. You won't boast about the key. You know. You can't boast about the key. Because you know this key.
[17:17] It really doesn't work. This key doesn't work. Yeah. It's like display mobile phones. Dummies.
[17:30] Dummies. The sacrifices. All the sacrifices were dummies. And Jesus said that. In the. In the. In the volume of the book. It's written of me. A body has not prepared.
[17:41] For me. I've come to do your will. What makes you happy. What. Oh. What. So why did Jesus come. I said something. Why did Jesus come. Why did he come on earth.
[17:55] Or I can't. Why did he come on earth. Philippians chapter 2 verse 5. Let this man be you. Which was in Christ. He says who. Though in a form of God. No count equality. He brought something to grasp on. But made himself a known reputation.
[18:06] And became a servant. And even. Humbled himself to the cross. Even the death on the cross. So he went as low as dying. He humbled himself. The lowest thing that he could have done. Was death.
[18:17] And there are different ways of dying. There are different types of death. This death was the lowest. And. Only criminals died that kind of death. Nobody dies that kind of death.
[18:27] There were. Not just criminals. The worst criminals. Died that kind of death. And he died with the worst criminals. That's why. The book. According to what we read in John. Sorry. Luke chapter. 23.
[18:39] Verse. 36. That was. Particularly in 40. 42. 43. He says that. Hey. Don't you know we deserve what we are going through? They knew.
[18:51] They knew that. They were real. Proper. Certified criminals. They knew it. They knew that their status. They were not permitted. They knew.
[19:02] In fact. If they were made to live. They won't understand it. They knew they were supposed to die. Because of the atrocities. One of them I believe is likely to be a serial killer. Yeah.
[19:13] And the other one. Is an armed robber. A rapist. Serial killer. He's killed many children. And. Anytime you release him. He starts killing people.
[19:24] Exactly. So. They knew each other. And they were now on the cross. And Jesus was in there. I think I preach a message. Jesus. What are you doing there? I mean. What are you doing amongst criminals?
[19:35] And he's too holy to die in the midst of. In between criminals. No. Jesus really does not belong to the cross. Never belong to the cross. That is why he gave the politician a very critical crisis.
[19:50] His conscience couldn't let him. How can I crucify? I mean. How can I do this to a man like this? No. I can't do it. So he was determined to let him go. Because at least he has a level of conscience.
[20:01] He has to let him go. Even if he was a fake and a corrupt leader. He had a certain level of little conscience left. That I can't do this. I can't kill such a man.
[20:12] No. No. I won't. I won't. I can't do this. They say. Hey. You have to kill him. They say. I won't do it. So the wife complicated matter. He said. Please. Don't have anything to do with this man's blood.
[20:25] Because of the dreams I've had in our house. This man. Since you started dealing with this matter. But. It wasn't in his power. Because Jesus said.
[20:37] I've come to do your will. That's why Jesus kind of extended some sympathy for him. He said. Go ahead. Go on. Go on. He said. Him who delivered me to you.
[20:48] Is guilty of greater sin. So you're also sinning. Let me digress and let you know. Let me digress and let you know something. Pontius Pilate.
[20:58] would never die in peace. Unless. He meets Jesus. He becomes one again. Do you know why? Other people might be sinful and die in sins. But him.
[21:10] What he did. What he did. Was one of the highest lawless behavior. He was supposed to enforce law. And he flipped law. Upside down.
[21:22] He knew what he was doing was wrong. He knew that you. You can't kill. I mean. At least. Let him be a bad guy. Who is not even. Guilty.
[21:33] If a bad guy is not guilty. At least. You can say. But the first time. First ever. He has seen a perfect. A pure person. And he's. He authorizes execution.
[21:45] He wouldn't have died. If that guy didn't have. Hadn't authorized it. He underwrote. He authorized the education. Kill him. So in Acts chapter 2. Bible says that.
[21:56] Verse 23. You. Through lawless hands. It said you Jews. Jesus Christ. Delivered by the. Have you. It was God's plan. But you.
[22:07] You have taken by lawless hands. Wow. Jesus' crucifixion. Crucifixion was one of. No. No. One. Is the most lawless expression. Of humanity.
[22:18] Wow. Lawless hands. If you talk about. Decency. Put the law of God aside. You are talking about. Normal. Moral. Human law. Common sense law.
[22:29] What they did. Was very lawless. They used. So. Pontius Pilate. Was not innocent. Even though. He didn't want to be part of it. He wanted to bail himself out of it.
[22:41] But still. He authorized the dead. Lawless hands. Lawless hands. And they crucified him. But that was the plan of God. The big question is.
[22:52] Why would God plan this? Why would God plan this? I know what you are thinking. Isaac. Is likely to be thinking that. Is there no.
[23:02] Another. Way. Another means. God can sort this issue of sin out. Without necessarily dealing. This innocent guy. Another way.
[23:14] Another way. He says that for. First Peter chapter. One verse. Eighteen and nineteen. Knowing that you are not. Redeemed by corruptible. Things from.
[23:25] Your. Tradition of your fathers. And whatever. But. Corruptible things. But. You have. Verse nineteen said. You have been. By the precious blood. Ah. The precious blood of Christ.
[23:36] As of a lamb. Without blemish. And without sport. Verse twenty. Very interesting text. He indeed was foreordained. Ordained before. The foundation of the world.
[23:48] Before the foundation of the world. He was foreordained. In revelations. I think chapter. Eight. Verse thirteen or so. It talks about. The lamb. Who was slain.
[24:00] From the foundation. Revelation. Thirteen. Eight. All who dwell on the earth. Will worship him. Whose names are not written. In the book of. Life. Of the lamb. Slain.
[24:11] When? It was a done deal. Before it was. Physically manifested. It just had to happen. In time.
[24:23] The question is. Why would God do this? I need you to understand this. Very carefully. Why? When you read. Romans chapter five.
[24:34] Verse eight. It talks about. How. God demonstrated. His love. For us. That Christ. Died. For us. Why did he die? Who did he die for?
[24:46] Christ. Let's all say. Christ died. For us. Christ died. For us. Please say it again. Christ died. For us. Who did Christ die for?
[24:57] For us. In first Corinthians. Chapter three. Chapter. Chapter. Fifteen. Verse three. First Corinthians. Chapter 15. Verse three. It talks about. For I deliver to you.
[25:08] First of all. That which I. I also received. That Christ died. For our sins. Why did Christ die? For our sins. Why did Christ die? For our sins.
[25:19] It's clear in the scriptures. That Christ. Died. For. Our sins. Hebrews. Chapter nine. Verse 28. Hebrews. Hebrews. Chapter nine. Verse 28.
[25:31] It talks about. As Christ. So Christ was offered. Once. Once. To bear the sins. Of many. Why was he offered? Bear the sins.
[25:41] So he died. Often there he died. Gave himself as a ransom. For our sins. So he died. To bear. The sins. Of many. Galatians.
[25:51] Chapter one. Verse four. Galatians. Chapter one. Verse four. Who gave himself. For who? Our sins. Who gave himself. For who?
[26:02] Our sins. So you can tell from scripture. That the purpose of him going. Watch this. This is important. Don't miss this. The purpose of Christ going to the cross.
[26:13] Was for our sins. But it seems that there was a bigger agenda. More than just for us. There seemed to be.
[26:27] It seems like Christ. Even though he died for us. When you look at it technically. He did not die for us. Just for us. Christ died for God.
[26:50] Christ died for God. Let's all say that together. Christ died for God. I think that should be the title of my message. Christ died for God.
[27:00] Christ died for God. Can I hear you all say it together? Christ died for God. One more time. Christ died for God. I know you are wondering. What kind of. What kind of philosophy is this?
[27:12] This one is too much. Christ died for God. Christ died for God.
[27:25] God has deep things that you will realize that's what God is doing.
[27:47] Who has been his counselor. Who has been his counselor. Who has first given to him. And it shall be recompensed unto him again. For of him. And through him.
[27:59] And to him. Are all things. To whom be the glory forever. So it looks like all things that happen is actually for his glory.
[28:10] Ah. Ah. Ah. For his glory. Romans 16. 27. For his glory.
[28:21] Jude 24. It says. Isaiah 27 says that. To God only wise. Be glory through Jesus Christ. Ah. Ah. Ah.
[28:32] Ah. So through Jesus Christ. Forever. Forever. Ah. Second Timothy chapter 4 verse 18. God delivered me from wicked. The beast.
[28:43] Second Timothy chapter 4 verse 18. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work. And will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom. To whom be glory forever and ever.
[28:58] First Timothy 1 17. Unto the King eternal. Immortal. Invisible. The only wise God. Honor. And glory.
[29:09] Someone say glory. Glory. Isaiah chapter 45 verse 5. Isaiah chapter 45 verse 5. It says. I am the Lord. And there is no other.
[29:20] There is no God beside me. I will get you through. I will get you. Though you have not known me. I am the Lord. There is no God beside me.
[29:32] There is only one God. God. So anything that should go to God. For instance. In Ephesians chapter 3 verse 20. Unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly. Above all that you can think or ask for.
[29:43] To him be the glory. To him be the glory. Verse 21. To him be the glory. In Jude verse 24. In Jude. It said. Him who is able. To him who is able to keep you from falling.
[29:54] I like that so much. To him who is able to keep you from falling. In and to present you fall less. Before the presence of his glory. With exceeding joy. Look at verse 25. It said.
[30:05] To the only wise God. Our savior. Be glory. And majesty. Dominion. Power. Both now. And forevermore.
[30:15] Now. I am bringing you closer to the cross now. In Philippians chapter 2. In Philippians chapter 2. I quoted it earlier on. Verse 7. It talks about. How he became obedient to death on the cross.
[30:26] Bible says that. Wherefore. God has also highly exalted him. And given him a name. That is above all names. That at the name of Jesus. Every knee shall bow.
[30:37] Oh. That's interesting. That at the name. That at the name of Jesus. Every knee shall bow. All of things in heaven. And things on earth. And things under the earth.
[30:48] Look at verse 11. We are getting there. And that every tongue should confess. That Jesus is Lord. How? To the glory of the Father. He's dying on the cross.
[31:03] He's ending up. To the glory of the Father. Thank you Lord. The death of the cross. Was for God.
[31:18] Revelations chapter 5. Revelations chapter 5. You remember. Whether he is the lamb. Seated on the throne. He says that. He says. I wept. Because I found no one worthy. To open a scroll.
[31:29] And to read it. To break the seal. And to read it. And then the angel said to me. Weep not. Weep not. For the lion of the tribe of Judah. Has prevailed. So I turned. To see. I turned.
[31:40] And when I turned. I saw in the midst of the throne. I saw in the midst of the throne. And the midst of the 24 elders. A lamb. As though it has just been slain. And Bible talks about how the elders fell before him.
[31:53] And they sang a song. That's very important. Look at verse 9. Look at verse 9. Verse 9 says that. And they sang a song saying. You are worthy to take the scroll. And to open it.
[32:04] Open its seal. For you were slain. And have redeemed. As to. Oh. So you redeemed.
[32:15] As to. God had a plan for himself. Bible talks about. How he works all things. According to the counsel of his own will. So.
[32:26] That's why. You couldn't stop the death of Christ. Because the death of Christ. Much as he was dying for us. He was dying for God. Ah.
[32:38] But why should that be one? To bring glory to God. All things. To him. Be glory. First Peter. First Peter.
[32:49] Chapter. Four. Verse 11. First Peter. Chapter four. Actually. First Peter. Chapter two. Verse 24. Talks about. How he died for our sins. But when you look at verse 11.
[32:59] First Peter. Chapter. Four. Verse 11. It talks about how. If anyone speaks. Let him speak. As of the oracles. Of God. If anyone ministers. Let him do it.
[33:10] As with the ability. Which God has supplied. That in all things. I love this one. That in all things. God. May be glorified. Through.
[33:21] Ah. It's there. In the scriptures. For thine. Is the kingdom. The power. And the glory. Forever.
[33:32] And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. World without end. Glory. Is supposed to come to God. So Jesus said. I did not seek my own glory.
[33:44] I seek the glory. Of the one who sent me. So he's dying on the cross. What for the glory of God. That is why. When you go back. Into the conversation. And the conference in heaven.
[33:55] He said. Send me oh Lord. For I come to do your will. Oh God. He was coming to do his will. To bring him glory. Not because. I went to preach somewhere. Some time ago. I think last.
[34:05] We had a camp. About a few. Weeks ago. One of the branches. And I was telling them that. Don't be mistaken. To think. I love you so much. That's why I've come here. I love God so much. That's why I've come here.
[34:17] So much as you are so important to me. It is because God sent me to you. So if you have someone to say thank you to. Don't start with me. Get. Let it get to God. Because in fact.
[34:27] Had it not been for him. Please. Don't be deceived. I won't do this thing. This thing is too demanding. And too complicated. Had it not been for him. I won't do this. And so.
[34:37] He says that. Even the things we do. Is meant to bring the glory to God. So Jesus Christ. Died. For the glory of God. He died. So that.
[34:48] He made. He died to bring us to God. He redeemed us. For our God. He redeemed us. For our God. Someone say Jesus died.
[35:00] For the purpose of God. Jesus died. For the purpose of God. Jesus died. For God. Somebody say hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[35:11] Pastor you've said quite a bit. Is that all? No. No. No. No. I want to take a bit further. Why. In what way. Does it belong to God? Does it help God? In a certain sense.
[35:23] That's the scripture I read. Romans chapter 3. That's interesting. Do you know why he died for God? All have sinned. You know.
[35:37] During the days of old Jews. And it's always been like that. Do you know. Do you know. Somebody. I think a pastor friend of mine.
[35:48] One day he passed a comment. And it was funny. Very interesting. Yeah. I remember he said. Pastor friend of mine. He said. Some Christians. They are born again. They are in church. And the way they behave.
[36:00] They won't dare. Behave like that. At the shrine. Yeah. You won't go to a shrine. And argue with a shrine usher.
[36:11] With a whole thing of. The shrine.
[36:23] Many years ago. I had a story. I had a story of. A gentleman. I've told you before. In. You know. In Africa. Voodoo is real. It's actually real here. But. It's just.
[36:34] They put. We put suit. And things on it. And it looks like. Voodoo. Voodoo with iPad. And digital systems. Voodoo it on the app.
[36:50] So. This guy. You know. When you go to. The voodoo. And all those who. Who practice. Secret courts. And other things. Please.
[37:02] Don't dare break. The principle. They give you. Hey. You. You. This guy. You know. I know people. Who have. Wealth.
[37:13] And have. Empires. And they. Did. Some. Whatever. Pacts. With the devil. In fact. There are people. In society now. Who are into.
[37:23] Pacts. With the devil. Some of them. Have sold their souls. So. We are following. I follow this one. They're in a pact. With the devil. Because when you look. At their demeanor. And everything they do. They are reflecting. Something that is so demonic.
[37:35] It's a pact. They are into pacts. Some are into politics. Some are into. Fashion. Some are into. Sports. Some are into. Entertainment. Entertainment. More. Yeah.
[37:46] So. Now. If you have the pact. And they make you. Become global. And you are not supposed to. Marry.
[37:57] Right. Right. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Even if an angel. Temps you. You can marry. Or you can know. Let's say. You are not supposed to have. A sexual relation.
[38:08] With any human being. Right. Right. Oh yeah. You don't know. Some of them are into that. Yeah. Some of. Some of the. Some of the. Some of the terms. And conditions. Of the occult. Is very.
[38:19] Strong. That's why people. Have come to church. And you are just. Taking it for granted. That's what I'm. Bringing your attention to. If God. Had those kind of. Terms and conditions. Like.
[38:32] All that. He said. I don't know. Why I can't stop. On the kitchen. You would have stopped. Long time ago. If God. Had those kind of. Conditions.
[38:42] Ah. You don't even go near it. Yeah. You don't even go near it. Yeah. In the old testament. God.
[38:53] God. Watch it. I'm about to say something. Very theologically important. God. Overlooked a lot. He overlooked a lot. There are only few instances. Where he brought judgment.
[39:04] Yeah. Judgment that God should have brought. He didn't. He overlooked a lot. And he still. I don't know who I'm talking to now.
[39:22] We've asked for forgiveness. So many times. You know where you are going to go. After today. And you are planning by Sunday.
[39:34] You ask for forgiveness. For forgiveness. I heard. So.
[39:46] These Jews were surrounded with people. With all kinds of strange gods. And they know the character. Everybody you know the character. Of these gods. And this religion.
[39:57] Some of them. We can even have in a modern day. Some religions. That they will kill you right now. Yeah. They will kill you straight away. Openly. They don't care. Openly.
[40:08] Let police come. They will kill you. They will kill you for their god. Because God said. Anyone who does that must die. Their god. Their god. Most of these gods.
[40:18] Do not defer judgment. Because they are no weak gods. That's why you don't cross them. They are no weak gods.
[40:30] You cross. I mean. People can sit on television. On radio. And insult Jesus. Jesus. Yeah. They can stand.
[40:41] They can stand. In the eyes of the whole world. At Oscars. And insult Jesus. People think. Oh that's so fashionable. And you should buy their music.
[40:52] And watch their movies. They will come promote and say. I give thanks to the devil. And challenge.
[41:03] If there is any god. Who is power. Let him take my life. Where are you god? God. Look at what Hitler did.
[41:13] Where was god? Where is god? When man is so. Can be so wicked. And commit atrocities like this. Where is god?
[41:25] God. Where are you? There are only few times in the Old Testament. Where god executed judgment. Like when Uzzah tried to hold the temple. Hold the ark. That was falling. Like Sodom and Gomorrah.
[41:36] Like the days of Noah. But much of it. God. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In.
[41:46] In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In.
[42:11] In. In. In. In. In. a shop and you overlook you turn your face like you didn't know what's going on actually that that comes across as criminal yeah you you are aiding and abetting to overlook some things you saw your cousin he's been transferring large amounts into your accounts into your kind of tell you buy this for me and you knew that something was wrong you knew he was not working he was in school and you overlooked it because you are using some to buy your tickets now there seems to be a problem here in exodus chapter 34 verse 6 and 7 there seems to be a problem here in exodus chapter 34 verse 6 and 7 the lord passed before him and proclaimed the lord the lord god merciful say merciful and gracious say gracious long suffering say long suffering and abounding in goodness and truth if you are bonding in fact abraham said to god would the judge of all flesh not do well all the earth not do well and in second timothy chapter 4 paul calls him the righteous judge he's a righteous judge he's a righteous judge he's the judge of all flesh abraham said would the judge of all and the end the genesis chapter 19 will he not do right will he 18 rather verse 19 and have known and other and he says that abraham said to do a righteous um would the judge of all the earth not do right then he started negotiating god he goes in you yeah that's the 25 rather please shall not the judge of the earth do right god is righteous let's all say god is righteous oh i didn't hear you say it god is right i want you to shout it louder god is righteous god is holy god is pure now back to exodus chapter 34 is someone learning something at all exodus chapter 34 it says that the lord god merciful gracious that word long suffering so he knows that you are doing something wrong and he can deal with you by just waiting he's holding on god do something that's why people ask the question if there's god why are people suffering like that is he not aware doesn't he is he not all powerful can't he do something about your simple problem can't he do something god look at the way they are lying on me look at the way they are betraying me look at the way they are treating me god can't you do anything and it's like no wonder jesus on the cross where are you going this is getting too much it's getting a bit much now will the judge of all flesh not be right and so he says that god overlooks but then he says the exodus he says that god is long suffering and abounding in goodness and truth now look at the next verse that's very scary all right keeping mercy for thousands forgiving iniquities and transgressions and sins so god forgives iniquities god forgives transgressions god forgives sins and then the next statement is a very worrying one and by no means clearing the guilty and he will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon the children and the children's
[46:11] children to the third and fourth he hasn't let go but babu says that he is merciful he's long suffering and he's talking about how he'll by no means clear the guilty in other words he won't spare the guilty he won't spare the guilty so in the old days olden days in the old testament things were going on romans chapter 3 verse 23 said for all have sinned say all have sinned so god what are you what you gonna do you have to do something because you can't spare the guilty you get to do something your righteousness is on the line show that you are also righteous we know you are good we know you are merciful we know you are kind we we believe you are just but it looks like you are not demonstrating your righteousness god where are you put your righteousness on display display your demonstrate your righteousness god psalm 78 verse 38 thank you jesus psalm 78 psalm 88 verse 38 what does it say but he be full of worship and he will destroy them yes many a times many a times many a times yes he turned his anger away god why are you thinking I the other gods they will wait they will react they will act immediately they will act why is god no acting why are you turning away your anger why are you telling and he says that in the times of ignorance god overlooked ah that even makes it look like i'm a righteous god
[48:21] It doesn't look like, because nobody who is righteous will overlook evil. You can't turn away, turn your eyes away as though you are aware, but I'm not seeing anything.
[48:35] What's happening? Don't worry, I'm not seeing anything. You overlooked? You overlooked? How can you do that, God? In Romans chapter 2 verse 4, or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
[49:04] So he has long-suffering, but I said, don't take it for granted. In 2 Peter chapter 3 verse 9, it talks about how the Lord is not slack concerning his promises as some good countenance, but it's long-suffering towards us.
[49:22] Say God is patient. God is patient. Romans chapter 1 verse 5, Romans chapter 1 verse 5 talks about, through him we have received grace and apostolacy for obedience to the faithfulness of the Lord.
[49:37] Faith amongst all nations. Say all nations. All nations. What does the verse 6 say? Amongst all nations, among whom you also are called by Jesus Christ.
[49:48] So, in fact, when you read it earlier, it talks about how God demonstrates his patience. Through his patience, he had been waiting. Now, we are getting to the cracks of the message.
[50:00] Before we go there, God had to find a way of dealing with Moses. Ex-Medra.
[50:13] God had to find a way of relating to Aaron. The one who built a whole idol for people to worship. A priest to. He built a whole idol.
[50:29] He collected offerings. And used the offering to build idols. He said, now, this is your God. You should have gotten rid of him immediately.
[50:44] Immediately. David. David. A Medra. Finish Medra and still playing place and worship. God, kick him out of the choir.
[51:04] Solomon. His name shouldn't have been mentioned in the Bible. When, if it was our standard. Solomon. Rahab. Where did these guys come from?
[51:17] Because this scripture still stands. All have sinned. So, it doesn't matter how well they behaved. They were still on the side of guilty. Okay.
[51:28] So, God had to put in a system. And he allowed it for them to use it. To look like he's accepting them. What was the system? It's called sacrifices.
[51:38] So, there were sacrifices. According to Hebrew. Hebrews. Chapter 9. Verse 10. 11. They were sacrificing him for that moment.
[51:50] They were doing sacrifices. And what was the sacrifice supposed to do? It was supposed to take care of their sins. I even forgot one scripture. Micah chapter 7. Verse 18. That's a very nice one.
[52:01] Look at Micah 7. 18. Micah 7. 18. Who is God like you? Pardoning iniquity and passing over transgressions of the remnant of the. Why would you pass over transgressions?
[52:16] Righteous God. Why would you pass over transgressions? All right. What kind of God is this? So, in the past.
[52:27] They will mock the Jews. And the Jews themselves knew that. This question about God. We haven't been able to answer. Because. It doesn't look like. He deals with. Unrighteousness.
[52:39] Promptly. And so. There had always been. Kind of a question mark. On the name of God. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. And he has instituted. Sacrifices.
[52:51] Mm. But the problem with sacrifices is. According to. Hebrews chapter 10. Verses 3 and 4. It's quite interesting that.
[53:02] Bible uses the word. Both in those sacrifices. There's. Reminders every year. Sin of sin every year. As for. For it's. That thing is very interesting.
[53:13] For it. Is. It's not possible that the blood of God. Should take away sin. I told you the dummy. The dummy king. Yes. So Moses was using a dummy king.
[53:23] Wow. Moses died. Knowing. The blood never cleansed his sins. Dummy blood. Yeah.
[53:34] Dummy blood. Are you guys saying something? Yes. David. Died. Knowing that he has never fixed the same thing. But he found himself. In the presence of God.
[53:45] When he died. Moses was there. And then Moses will appear. Say. How. How. How did I appear here? Because they knew. When you walk with God. You know.
[53:56] That those blood. Don't work. Wow. Wow. You knew. That the blood. That was being offered. Those sacrifice. Didn't we just read it.
[54:07] Hebrews chapter 10. That. Let's look at it. Hebrews chapter 10. Verse. Um. No. No. Not this one. Verse 8. Verse 8. Hebrews 10. 8. It says that. Previous saying. Sacrifices and offerings.
[54:18] Bents offerings and sins offerings. You did not desire. No heart. But so why were they doing it God? They'll finish. Go through all that. They finish it. God said.
[54:29] Okay. Don't worry. It's like. It's like. You know. Um. Your child. You really need money to. Maybe fix something at home. And it's your birthday. And then your child.
[54:42] Four year old. Six year old. Does. Card. Painting. Say daddy. I have money for you. And gives you. Oh. Thank you so much. That's so nice. You put this aside. You accept it.
[54:52] So you encourage the child. But where your mind is. The money. This is not. This. He has. He has designed paper money. He has designed paper money on the card. And he's bringing it. He's bringing it to you.
[55:03] As a gift. Won't you accept it? You will accept it. But at least. You know. This is not what I'm looking for. Or. Or. You check. Your. Your books.
[55:16] And you write. Like maybe you are. A self-employed guy. They haven't paid you. Some business. You do. They haven't paid you. You check the account. It hasn't come. And you have so. And then you are with them on the phone. You haven't paid it. They say. No.
[55:26] No. We. Say. No. I don't like this. You have to pay me. And then your child. You finish it. Daddy. Don't worry. Leave them alone. I'll give you the money. Because. Because.
[55:37] Auntie came and gave her. Five pounds. One pound. He has brought her. Nine pound savings. To take care of your. Nine hundred thousand pounds. It doesn't work like that. So.
[55:52] That is what was happening. He said. Sacrifices. And sacrifice for sin. Ben. You did not desire. It is. That's not. You don't have pleasure in them. Because. According to. Which were offered.
[56:02] According to the law. So. God has said. Do it. But. It can't do the job. So. Really. Since we're still not forgiven. Or taken away.
[56:14] Since we're still not taken away. And it left. A question mark. On the righteousness of God. Wow. David was in heaven.
[56:25] I'm wondering. God. You haven't done anything about. Bashy batting. I did. But.
[56:36] He's wondering. Why am I here? And you know what? When the criminal. The criminal. The thief on the cross. Luke chapter 24. Verse 43. When he gets to heaven.
[56:47] The angels will ask you. Ask you. What are you doing here? Your name is. What are you doing here? Tell us what you did. And you got here. He said. Am I supposed to do it?
[56:59] I've done anything? Say yeah. Everybody who comes here. Has to do something. Say no. I didn't do anything. I came. Say. Hold on. Then. Angel said. Hold on. I have to call my supervisor. There's a guy here.
[57:11] He said. He didn't do anything. He's coming. But I should let him in. Then. The supervisor comes. And said. Yes. Can you tell me. How you got here? He said. What did you do?
[57:21] He said. I didn't do anything good. I'm just there. Am I supposed to do anything? He said. No. So how come you got here? He said. That man on the cross. Just told me to come. The man on the cross.
[57:35] And he told me to come. And I've come. I just accepted. I'm here. As soon as he enters. David. Who said. Oh. You're here too? I said. Yeah. None of us deserve to be here.
[57:46] You know. But the man on the cross. When I was dying. One thing I knew. There's a man coming on the cross. Ah. Abraham would say.
[57:57] When I was dying. There was a man coming on the cross. All those who escaped. And the long sufferings of God. They knew. When you meet God. They were only saved by faith. In the coming cross.
[58:09] Hallelujah. Now. Let's look at the text. Let's look at the text. Let's look at the text. Before you get overexcited. Let's look at the text. Romans chapter 3. Verse 23. It says.
[58:20] For all have sinned. And it comes short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by. Huh. His grace. Through the redemption. That is in Christ Jesus. Being justified.
[58:31] Do you know what it means to be justified? When you are acquitted. That you are clean now. You are in. Being justified. Why? Freely. I didn't have to do anything. Okay.
[58:43] Won't I pay for the things? No. Freely. How? Freely. But the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Is going to get more serious. Look at the next verse. Look at the next verse. Whom God.
[58:54] Christ. Christ. God set him forth. To be a propitiation. Through faith in his blood. Now. Wait. Wait. Wait. I know you'll be talking about propitiation. It's not a type of apple.
[59:06] Propitiation. Just means. Means of satisfaction. Remember. I've come in the volume of the books written on me. For sacrifices and offerings of a sin.
[59:19] You did not have pleasure. So. Those things never did it for God. Until Christ. Came on the cross. Ah. The death of Christ on the cross.
[59:32] That's why Pontius Pilate could not stop it. It was for God's satisfaction. To satisfy the righteousness of God.
[59:43] Ah. To satisfy the justice of God. To satisfy the mercies of God. To justice. To satisfy the goodness of God. That God is.
[59:55] To satisfy. What is this? The holiness of God. God is so holy. His holiness must be satisfied. God's blood can't satisfy him. Animal blood could not do it.
[60:08] Neither could human blood do it. What can ever satisfy him? What can satisfy the justice? So God knows. That sin has been dealt with.
[60:18] Because he will by no means spare the guilty. So for many years. He was holding back. He was overlooking. He was holding. Because God is long suffering.
[60:29] He was holding back. He was holding back. He was holding back. Looking. Waiting for the cross. He was holding back. He was holding back. He was holding back. Then Christ dies for the under cross. To take care of all the sins that were in the past.
[60:41] Now watch this. It's in your Bible. Look at Romans again. Verse 25. Whom God set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood. To declare his righteousness. Ah!
[60:52] To do what? To declare his righteousness. To declare his righteousness. To declare his righteousness.
[61:03] For the remission of sins. Thou passed. Okay. Finally. Ah! Finally. This sin that has happened.
[61:15] Concerning David. Concerning Abraham. Concerning Noah. Concerning Elijah. Concerning all that ever lived. All their sins. God had to make a statement of his righteousness.
[61:28] That have dealt with that sin. Ah! If I were you, I would shout hallelujah. Hallelujah! He has dealt with that sins.
[61:42] He never overlooked it. Or he never let it go. Unpunished. Watch this. No sin ever goes unpunished with a holy God. As long as a holy God is concerned.
[61:58] No sin. No iniquity. No transgression. Ever goes unpunished. With a holy God. With a righteous God.
[62:09] With a just God. Else you have put his justice into disrepute. Amen. You have put his holiness into question.
[62:22] No sin. And so when Christ was going to the cross. For the first time. And the only time. Listen. There's only one God. And there's only one way to him.
[62:32] Hallelujah! I said! Hallelujah! He said, I'm God. And there's no other. There's no other. So.
[62:45] Christ. Let's look at the text again. Who God set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood.
[62:56] To declare his righteousness. For the repetition of sins that are passed. Through the forbearance. Did you see? Through the forbearance of God. So as God was like he was holding on.
[63:08] Holding on. He was waiting for the cross. Yeah. NIV. Let's look at how the NIV puts it. I prefer New American Standard Version. Please. Whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in his blood through faith.
[63:25] This was to demonstrate his righteousness. God's righteousness. Because in the forbearance of God. He passed over the sins previously committed. God's righteousness. God.
[63:36] God. God. God. Let's look at the NIV then. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement. Through the shedding of his blood.
[63:47] To be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness. Because in his forbearance. He had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished. Wow.
[63:57] Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. He said, you want to know I can punish sin?
[64:07] Look at the cross. Look at the cross. The cross was for God. The cross was for God. The cross. Christ died on the cross for God.
[64:19] That's what we can see. To demonstrate. Let me finish the text in verse 6. Whom God set forth to be propitiation through faith in his blood. To declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are passed through the forbearance of God.
[64:33] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness. Did you see the emphasis? Yes. Yes. To declare his righteousness. God needed the cross to make a statement of his justice.
[64:47] Well, you want to serve notice to the devil. You can't go free. Every now and then he executed judgment.
[64:59] But that was just once in a while. In the Old Testament. Look at how this someone. Sometimes I even think. The guy who killed John the Baptist. So, the wife.
[65:10] That Herodias. My body didn't say anything about her. Tell us how he died. At least Judas, we were told he died. That is a very funny way. But tell us about Herodias.
[65:22] John the Baptist was so innocent. Look at the way they chopped his head off. Because of a dance. Yeah.
[65:33] I think it's more than that. Yeah. Jezebel.
[65:45] Jezebel. People who committed atrocities. Wicked people. Herod killed so many children. Because he hated the king.
[65:57] They said some people have come from China. And they said. They said a king has been born in Yuki. And so he decided to kill all children under two years.
[66:10] Because of a Chinese report. Or a spy balloon or something. They. They. They. This man was. Was wicked.
[66:21] He killed his own mother. He was. Human beings can be wicked. Yeah. God bless human beings. That's why. If you want them to have guns.
[66:32] Then please. Allow Christianity. Christianity. To get into the schools. If you take it out of the schools. Remove the guns from their hands quickly.
[66:43] Yeah. Yeah. Civilization. Yeah. Civilization doesn't save man from polluted hearts. No. The more we look civilized. A lot of things that are going on. Yeah. Civilization.
[66:55] Without God. Is animalization. That's it. Rich. We are becoming like animals. And the law cannot stop it. Even the law of God couldn't stop people from misbehaving.
[67:07] How much more? Parliament. Law from parliament. You can put a person in prison. But you can't change his behavior. Some of you.
[67:19] If you had not found yourself in church. By now you would have been in prison. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You found yourself in Christ. And no one told you some things.
[67:29] You just knew. I'm a new creation. The Bible changes lives. Let me digress.
[67:42] Let me go on for one moment. One of the signs that show that the Bible is the word of God. Is the impact. The life changing effect. It has some people who open their heart to the Bible. The life changing.
[67:53] Not mind changing. Life changing. Impact. The Bible said. The word of God is living. It is. Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12.
[68:04] It is powerful. It's living. It has life. It's quick. It has life. The word of God is living. It's living. It's alive. Get it inside you. And you will see what you do to your marriage.
[68:15] Get it inside. You will see what you do to your career. Get it inside you. And you will see what you do to your ministry. Pastor. Open the Bible. It will work in the ministry. Open the Bible. Let the Bible speak.
[68:26] Let the Bible speak. Let the Bible speak. I feel like preaching. Let the Bible speak. Yeah. The word of God.
[68:39] What the heart of man is, is Jesus. Yes. Oh yeah. Satan will do everything to block it. Oh yeah. Especially those who are into pacts with the devil. Yes.
[68:50] Wherever they find themselves. Whether in politics. Whether in academia. Yeah. Whether in music. Whether in whatever industry. Yeah. Once entertainment. Once they have had a pact.
[69:02] They will fight anything Christ. They will use every means. Intellectual means. Social means. They will even want to shut down churches. Yeah. Yeah.
[69:13] Yeah. They will shut down churches. And it's not because they are atheists. Because they are opening up for other religions. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So if you are atheist. You won't be celebrating other religion.
[69:25] Making room. Making their way somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's a religion. Why are you bringing religious matters here? So if it is not a religion. What is about.
[69:36] What about Christianity are you so much afraid of? What about Christianity? Let anyone trying to stand for public office in the West.
[69:46] And make a mistake and say I'm a Christian. They will pull you down fast. You can't be in any high position and say I am a Christian.
[69:56] You are making a mistake. If you go and hold the Bible you are just gathering enemies for yourself. Let alone for you to be a president and hold the Bible. In front of a vandalized church.
[70:08] It is the bishops in the church who rise against you. Leave the world. The church. The agents of the devil in the church. They will be debating whether we should change the word of God and add some things or not.
[70:24] Meanwhile the word of God is pure. The word of God is holy. The word of God is settled. Don't change anything. Write your own Bible and use it in your own church.
[70:36] The church of God needs the word of God. Don't change anything. Don't change anything. Don't change anything. You think we don't know who you are.
[70:47] You are no one of us. You are no one of us. And you can't represent us. Write your own Bible. You are no one of us. You are just a politician. Pontius Pilate is even better than you.
[71:04] Because at least he has a resistance to do what was a bit right in the sight of a holy person. Unless they don't find anything little wrong about church.
[71:27] Blow it out of proportion. Add what doesn't exist. Church leaders are not perfect. What I'm trying to say. The attack is not about a person who is not so holy.
[71:44] Because why don't we hear these things from other religions? Why? Why do you cover other religions up? Why must it only be bishops? Why must it only be a pastor in a black church?
[71:59] In London. And it can be so twisted and presented in the section. When you hear you feel like thrown out. How can I? How can I? How can I do this? How? How?
[72:10] How? How? How? Yeah. You are preaching. Yeah. Right. But the message is. God is righteous. God is righteous.
[72:22] God is holy. Oh yeah. For what? David entered not qualified. Because Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 says.
[72:34] For by grace are you saved. Through faith. That not of yourself. It is the gift of God.
[72:45] Not of works. Let any man. See. In Romans chapter 3 verse 19 and 20. See. Whatever was said in the law.
[72:58] Now we know that whatever the law says. It says. To those who are under the law. Why? That every mouth. Including Moses. Shut up. You can't boast.
[73:10] Moses got to heaven. Knowing he wasn't qualified. David got to heaven. Knowing he wasn't. Mary. Got to heaven. Knowing he wasn't qualified. Wow.
[73:21] I will get to heaven. Knowing I'm not qualified. Knowing I'm not. You will get to heaven. Knowing I'm not. On what grounds can you go to heaven? Because the eternal sacrifice.
[73:33] We put our faith. So Bible says. So that God will be the just. And the justifier of those who put their faith. Now. He has met the demands of justice.
[73:45] And at the same time. He has carried out his redemptive purpose. So what the scripture. No, no, no. Yeah. Romans 3 verse 26. He said. To declare. I say. At this time. His righteousness.
[73:56] That God might be. Might be just. And the same time. The justifier. Of the one who put his faith in Jesus. So. He's justified.
[74:06] For not punishing you. On what grounds? Because his righteousness. Has been demonstrated. On what he did to Christ. That's why I told you. God is. The primary planner.
[74:17] Of the death of Christ. Because he did that. To demonstrate. His righteousness. Christ has redeemed us. From the curse of the law. Having been made a curse for us.
[74:28] For it's written. Cursed is he who hangs on the tree. In 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 verse 21. It says that. For he made him. Christ. Who knew no sin. To be sin for.
[74:39] Oh. Oh. This is what is. Even. The conundrum about God. That. The pure God. The just one. The holy one. Comes on earth. And he puts our sin on him.
[74:51] On the cross. Why would God do that? He wants to show. How he won't tolerate sin. So he says.
[75:02] Two reasons. I'm giving you. Why. The death of Christ. Was for God. Number one. To demonstrate God's righteousness. Number two. To satisfy God's justice.
[75:15] Propitiation. That he will satisfy. God will look at the cross. And he says. That's it.
[75:26] That's it. That's it. My justice has been satisfied. So one. To demonstrate his righteousness. Two. To satisfy his justice.
[75:37] To satisfy his holiness. To satisfy his righteousness. To demonstrate. So nothing could satisfy. That's why the sacrifices could not work. But why did you give them?
[75:49] It's just something to keep them going. God. It wasn't working. That's why I said. Lord. I come. To do your will. Oh God. Jesus died on the cross.
[76:02] For God. To the glory of God. God. And he says. In Jude 24. Now. Unto him. Who is able to keep you.
[76:13] From falling. And to present you. Faultless. Now. Human beings can be presented. I don't even know why you are not shouting hallelujah.
[76:31] What? To present you fogless. Before the presence of his glory. With exceeding joy. With exceeding joy.
[76:42] Oh. I feel like dancing. This is good enough for my praise and worship. Hallelujah. I thank God for the cross. Hallelujah.
[76:54] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. To present you fogless. To present you fogless.
[77:05] Before the presence of his glory. That's why we sing some of the songs we sing in church. Light of the world.
[77:17] You step down into darkness. Open my eyes. Let me see. Beauty that made this heart adore you. Oh for a last one. Here I am to worship. Here I am to bow down.
[77:29] Here I am to say that you are my God. Altogether lovely. Altogether worthy. Altogether wonderful. To me. I'll never know.
[77:41] How much it costs. To see my sins on the cross. I'll never know. I'll never know. I'll never know. I'll never know.
[77:53] I'll never know. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry. The best thing that can happen to you is being exposed to the word of God.
