[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another destiny changing word by David Entry from one of our revival seeking youth services. If you want to control your world, catch the word. Be blessed.

[0:17] 2 Peter chapter 3 verse 15 and 16. Let's go. And accounting that the long suffering of the Lord is salvation. Even according to the wisdom given him.

[0:40] Let in unstable rest, do other scriptures. Amen. Now put you on the screen, New King James Version.

[0:53] And let's all read 15 and 16. Let's go. And to say that the long suffering of our Lord is salvation. As also our beloved brother Paul.

[1:03] According to the wisdom given to him. As also on all his epistles. Speaking in them of these things. In which are some hard to understand.

[1:14] Which untaught and unstable people. Trace to their own destruction. As they do their own. Rest of all. Peter liked talking about the scripture. The authenticity and the weight of his preaching and teaching was on scripture.

[1:35] So he was talking about how he made references to the prophets. In his teachings he said he made references to the prophets.

[1:49] And he's not teaching anything new that the Old Testament prophets have not taught. In other words. Or let me put it this way. Everything they taught.

[2:03] Agreed. So whatever Peter taught. Agreed with what the scriptures in the Old Testament have said. On the day of Pentecost.

[2:16] The first preacher of the church. When the church was born. Was Peter. In Acts chapter 2. Bible says that. And Peter stood up amongst them. Think from verse 14.

[2:29] And Peter stood up with the eleven. And raised his voice. And said. To them. They say when you are preaching. Don't raise your voice. And said to them. Men of Judea.

[2:42] And of all who dwell in Jerusalem. Let this be known to you. And heed my ways.

[2:54] Then he tried. Because the people were commenting. That these guys speaking in tongues are drunk. So he said. For these are not drunk as you assume.

[3:05] You know people always have their own version. Of what we are doing in church. What they think. Or all these things like this. Sometimes they are wrong. But they are very confident. Peter said.

[3:17] These guys are not drunk. As you suppose. You're wrong guys. You thought they are drunk. They look like they are drunk. And it makes you think that you are right.

[3:28] In thinking that way. But you're wrong. Then he says that. They are not drunk as you. Because this is. So that this. Is referring to what is happening.

[3:39] Which you interpret as drunk. Is the fulfillment of scripture. That day the scripture was fulfilled. People thought it was ecstasy. It was some excessive behavior.

[3:53] Of some people who are not serious with their lives. They always pass their own comments about us. So Peter said. These guys are not drunk. As you suppose. For this.

[4:04] What is happening. Which you are finding a way to interpret. Because I think the verse 9 or so. Or verse 7. They said. What is the meaning of this? People were saying. This tends to happen.

[4:15] What's the meaning of this? Everybody is speaking in tongues. They are along with verse 12. So they were all amazed. And perplexed. Saying. What could this mean? Verse 13. Others mocking.

[4:26] They are full of. They are drunk. So people. What is this? Others say. Oh no. These guys are drunk. People. It's interesting. That someone can be drunk. And start speaking your language. Which they don't know.

[4:39] And you call that drunk? Oh come on. Please. Let's be a bit real. Intelligent. These people are not drunk. As you suppose.

[4:49] But it says that. This is that which. Was spoken by the prophet Joel. Peter. What did he say? Then he quoted it. For it shall come to pass.

[5:02] And it shall come to pass. He quoted the scripture. It's his first preaching. His first preaching was to say. Guys you are wrong. This is what's happening. Then. What is happening. He starts to give it. Interpret it from the scripture.

[5:13] That what is happening. Is not anything new. It has already been spoken. So Peter was used to. And that. That preaching. He finished the preaching. In verse 37. When people interrupted him. The Bible says that.

[5:26] Now. Now when they heard this. They were cut to the heart. And they stopped it. They said Peter. Peter. I bet. And the guys. What can we do? They interrupted the preaching. But from there. Before that.

[5:36] Check the number of scriptures. He was quoting. He was quoting. As it's written. It is written. It is. Every statement. Back it's written. It's written. What was written. In the Old Testament. Peter was used to making references.

[5:48] To what is written. In the Old Testament. Because our preaching is void. If it's detached. From what the Old Testament have said. So.

[5:59] Peter is used to making references. Or Peter and all good preachers. Make references to scripture. And so in those days.

[6:09] Their scripture was there. Really. Their established scripture. Or the established scripture. Of the Jews. Was what we call.

[6:19] The Old Testament. The. Torah. Now. Coming back to the. Text we just read. An account.

[6:34] That. The long suffering. Of the Lord. Is salvation. Even as our beloved. Brother. Brother. Paul. Also. According to the wisdom. Given unto him. Has written. Unto you.

[6:46] So. He's saying that. Um. The. This is. I'm teaching you. About. The. Everything will be bent.

[6:57] Away. And. All that. That. Whatever. Account that. It doesn't happen. Because God. Is giving people time. To really. Change. Then. The long suffering.

[7:09] Means that he's suffering. For a long time. So. God. Long suffering. That means. Patience. Give us. New. International. Version. Bearing in mind.

[7:19] That our Lord's. Patience. You see. Our Lord's. Patience. Means. Salvation. Wow. Patience. Is meant. To bring you. Salvation.

[7:30] So. Once you change. Some of you. Have changed. If you have not changed. You would have gotten pregnant. Yeah. If you have not changed. You would have been in prison. You are on your way. To prison. But.

[7:42] They didn't arrest. They should have arrested you. Because. Your other friends. Were arrested. How come you escaped? Because. God was patient. Because. His patience. Means.

[7:52] Salvation. Yeah. Some of you. You know. Some trouble. You should have gotten yourself into. Yeah. But you escaped. Why.

[8:02] Why did that happen? The patience of the Lord. Means. Salvation. You. You almost died. And God's.

[8:13] You have come to sit in church. You are saying. The preaching is too long. Prison is longer than preaching. Prison. Wow. I don't know. So.

[8:26] He said. The. The. The patient. That means. Just as. Our beloved. Our dear brother. Paul. Also. Wrote. You. With the wisdom.

[8:37] God. So. Just as. That means. He's not saying anything different. The patience of the Lord. Means salvation. Just as. Paul has been. Read to us. Also written to you.

[8:47] Then he goes on to Paul. Look at what he said. Verse 16. As. Also. In all his epistles. Say all. All. All his epistles. When you read.

[8:57] Read the books. The Bible. You need to. The Pauline epistles. It's called Pauline epistles. Or Pauline. That's the ones written by Paul. How do you know the ones written by Paul? Sometimes.

[9:08] He introduces himself. Paul an apostle. To the church of Corinth. So that you know it's Paul. Most of the time. So. The Pauline epistles.

[9:18] Epistles. Most of them. You will realize that he was explaining what the church is. Most of them.

[9:29] Paul had a responsibility. An assignment. To. According to Ephesians chapter 3. Verse 7. Verse. From verse 6. He said.

[9:39] The mystery which has been hidden in God. Okay. Verse 5 says that. The mystery. Let me. I'm going back. Back. Back. Back. Back. I think it's okay. Verse 5. No. Okay. You've taken me to verse 4.

[9:51] Verse 5. Okay. Verse 4. All right. All right. All right. If you take it. Verse 4. By which when you read. You understand my knowledge. Wow. Of the mystery of Christ. Paul said.

[10:02] I've got some knowledge into this. This stuff. And I've written a few things. If you read. You understand my knowledge. Yeah. By which which you read. You understand my knowledge.

[10:13] In the mystery of Christ. Huh. Let's go on. Which in other ages. Was not made known. To the sons of men. As it has now been revealed.

[10:23] By the spirit. To the holy apostles. And prophets. Wow. Say apostles and prophets. Apostles and prophets. Say that again. Apostles and prophets. Prophets prophesize. Apostles preach.

[10:36] Which in other ages. Were not made to. Okay. Let's go to the next verse. Verse 6. What's the message? This whole mystery is that. The Gentiles should be fellow heirs. Of the same body.

[10:48] That is a conundrum. The same body. You mean. The same body. Normally Jews and Gentiles.

[10:59] Don't mix. Now this new thing. And this has been going on. For thousands of years. Since Moses. Jews and Gentiles.

[11:10] Are not meant to mix. Suddenly. After Christ died. Paul said that. You see. There's this mystery in Christ. Which when you read. You understand my. Insight about it.

[11:21] And this mystery is about. That the Gentiles. Should be fellow heirs. Of the same body. Not like. The Gentiles. To have now started. A body. So okay. There's the Jewish body.

[11:32] And then. No. He said. Jews and Gentiles. Now are going to be. The same heir. Whatever a Jew is entitled to. A Gentile is also going to be entitled to. And they are all. In one body.

[11:44] And partakers of the promise of. Of Christ. A promise in Christ. Through the gospel. So Gentiles should be part of their God. Promise of God. The promise of Christ. Gentiles too.

[11:56] We. How. Paul said. Yeah. This is a whole new thing. That God is doing. Are you getting something? Yeah. All right. Let's go to the verse 7.

[12:06] Of which I became. Ah. So what did he become a minister of? The thing I was talking about. That the Gentiles should be. The Gentiles should be fellow earth.

[12:21] Of the same body. He has become a preacher of that thing. This is new. That's why even Peter. Who didn't know deep into it. Made a mistake. To the extent that. One day. They went somewhere.

[12:32] There were Gentiles. In Antioch. Antioch is a Gentile territory. And so people have become born again. And then. You remember. Barnabas went to Antioch. Yeah. And so people have become born again.

[12:43] And they have having fellowship. And Christian fellowship. Was also heavy in eating. Those days. You can't have fellowship without food. Wow. That's why they continued. Apostles breaking of bread.

[12:56] So they were eating. But. There's a Jewish law. That Gentiles and. Jews. Are not meant to eat together. So they were eating. And then some. Jewish believers.

[13:07] Came from Jerusalem. Whose. Mindset. Have not changed. About the new thing. God is doing. They were still in Judaism. So when they came to Jerusalem. They don't expect.

[13:18] That now that Peter. You guys are godly. More godly. You have to even keep. The law of God more. You can't be fellowshipping. And eating with Gentiles. But Peter. Knows that.

[13:29] Now. The system has changed. But the other guys. Don't. Didn't know. So instead of. Staying faithful to the system. He wanted to fit.

[13:39] In the old system. He wanted to look. Cool. He wanted to. Go with the flow. Or. Is it. To. With the. To keep. Keep up with the Joneses.

[13:51] So he. He wanted to. Yeah. Look. That. Me. You know. I like everybody. So. According to. Galatians. Chapter 2. Verse 10. And 11.

[14:03] And 12. And 13. So. This is what. It's trying to say. That. The. The letter. From the apostles. Said that.

[14:14] Only. They desired. Only. That we should remember. The poor. The poor. The very thing. We were supposed to do. Now. Look at. Verse 11. That's where really. I'm going. Now. When Peter.

[14:24] Had come to Antioch. I rebuke. I restood. I restood. I restood him. To the face. That's where he rebuke Peter. Peter. Senior apostle. Peter. You can't do this. I restood him to the face.

[14:36] Because. He was to be blamed. Why? What did he do wrong? What did Peter do wrong? Look at the next verse. For before certain men came from James. He would eat with the Gentiles.

[14:48] But when they came. He withdrew. And separated himself. Fearing those who were of the circumcision. He was fearing that the Jews. Will criticize him. So he.

[14:58] He played the hypocrisy. He wasn't intentionally hypocritical. But he didn't want. Social backlash. So he separated himself.

[15:09] To look like. Oh man. No. This guy. I can't eat. So Paul said. Peter. You are wrong. You can't do this. Before all of them. He would stood them to their face. Yeah.

[15:20] He would stood them to their face. He would stood them to their face. He would stood them to their face. He would stood them to their face. He would stood them to their face. And look at the next verse. And the rest of the Jews.

[15:31] Also played. So it was hypocrisy. Played the hypocrisy with him. So that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. You know Barnabas. He went to Antioch.

[15:41] And brought this whole change. He helped them greatly. According to Acts chapter. 11. I think so. 11. 11. 23. Yes.

[15:54] So. 22. The new came to the church of Jerusalem. That the gospel has gone to Antioch. Let's go to 20. 20. This is how I read my Bible. Well. If you don't like it.

[16:05] I think. It's just nice to see it within the context. Right. But some of the men. From. Some of them were from. Men. From Cyprus. And Cyrene. Who.

[16:15] When they had come to where? Antioch. What did they do? Spoke. To the Hellenists. Hellenists means that. Hellenists are. Greek speaking people. Okay. Hellenists.

[16:26] When you have. When you read a new. NIV. To use a different. NIV. To the Greeks. You see. To the. Speak to the Greeks. Also. Telling them a good news. About the Lord Jesus. Let's go to the next verse.

[16:38] And. The hand of the Lord was with them. And a great number of the people believed. Let's go to the next verse. That then. This news came. This news came to Jerusalem. Jerusalem. So when the. Disciples.

[16:48] Or the apostles in Jerusalem. Had that this was. What has happened. They sent to. Barnabas. As far as Antioch. And then Barnabas. Went to Antioch. See. I like verse 23.

[16:59] Oh. When. He had come. And had seen the grace of God. He was glad. And encouraged them. Encouraged them. All that. With purpose. Of heart. They should continue in the Lord. Look at the next verse.

[17:10] Quickly. For he was a good man. Full of the Holy Spirit. And faith. And a great many people were. Added to the. Did you see his impact? More people were added to the church. Because of his impact.

[17:21] Now. When Peter came to Antioch. He played a hypocrisy. He played a hypocrisy. So now. Galatians chapter 2. Verse 11. Look at verse 11 again.

[17:32] He said. Now. Peter. When Peter had come to where? Antioch. There was a good move of God there. Peter. When he came. He was also flowing with it. Until some. Jews. Came from Jerusalem.

[17:43] Or Peter. They were. Those who were with James. James was at Jerusalem. And then he began. He began to separate himself. To the extent that. Even Barnabas. Wow. Wow. Also.

[17:54] Take it. Are you seeing what the Bible is saying? Yeah. Even Barnabas. Barnabas was. Carried away. Suddenly. Barnabas was. Come to help the people. He was with them. Because Peter's behavior.

[18:06] And the Jews. They separated. So Barnabas also left the Jews. Paul said. You can't spoil the church. With this. Judaistic loss. So he stood Peter to the face. That's.

[18:18] Because. At that time. The understanding. That. The. The Gentiles. And the Jews. Will become fellow. As in one body. Had not. Penetrated. The Judaism community.

[18:29] So Paul said. In Ephesians chapter 3. The one we are reading. Verse 7. Verse 8. Now let's go back to. Am I making sense to somebody? Yeah. Yeah. Today I just want. Zoom into something.

[18:41] If you are hungry enough. It will be a blessing to you. Of which. Paul said. Of this thing. This mystery that. Teaches that.

[18:52] Gentiles. And Jews. Will become. Gentiles. Will become the. Heirs. Of. Fellow heirs. Of the same body. He said. I became. A preacher.

[19:03] Minister. According to the grace. Gifts of the grace. That was given to me. By the effectual. So. That's my meaning. My ministry is all about. Paul's ministry is all about. This.

[19:13] To help people to get it. That's Paul. Look at the verse. Verse 9. To me. Who am less than the least. Of all the saints. Was this grace given. That I should preach.

[19:24] That I should preach. To preach among the Gentiles. The unsatchable riches of Christ. Look at the next verse. And to. Not only Gentiles. Who are like this. And to make all men see. Guys.

[19:34] You have to understand. He said. I want guys. God has given me the ministry. To make all men see. What is the fellowship. Fellowship. Means. Fellowship. Means. Siamese twins.

[19:47] How they are. They are so. Some of them. You can't separate them. Siamese twins. You can't separate them. The Greek word. For fellowship. Is koinonia. And that's what it means.

[19:58] We are so much. Part together. Siamese twins. And he says that. My assignment. Is to. Is to make all men see. What is this. Kind of. Fellowship.

[20:09] Interaction. Koinonia. Of the ministry. The way this thing works. Paul said. That's what. I'm. Thank you. I'm meant to help people. To all men to see.

[20:21] All men. So that means that. When I begin. Paul. When Paul begins to teach. Suddenly you want. Oh no. This is not normal. I don't understand this. That one. This deep. I've never seen it like this before.

[20:32] Some of the things. It will take you a lifetime to understand. No. Because. It is completely new. Why was it new? Because. What the guy was teaching. I feel like preaching.

[20:44] What the guy is teaching. Was. Look at verse 5. Ephesians. 3. 5. Look at that. Which in other ages.

[20:57] Were not made known. To the sons of men. So what is teaching. Men have never discovered it. In fact. In one of the. It says. It was hid in God. It was actually.

[21:09] God. Something God has hidden. In himself. Now he has given it. To someone to preach it. How many of you agree with me. When the person starts preaching. Some things you say. Will be hard to understand.

[21:23] Romans chapter 16. Verse 25. Yeah. According to the revelation. Of the mystery. Kept secret. Since the world. The sodal. It was kept secret. Since the world began. Alright.

[21:33] This revelation. Is what he's preaching about. My preachers. According to this revelation. Now go to the next verse. Let's see what he says. But now made manifested. By the prophetic scriptures.

[21:44] And all. Now. Ephesians. Back to Ephesians chapter 3. What we are reading. Ephesians chapter 3. Yes. That's the one I'm looking for. So. Which in other ages.

[21:55] Was not made known. Unto the sons of men. Now go to the verse 9. I think we are already. In the verse 9. So it's. Alright. Now. To make all men know. To make all men see. What is the fellowship of the mystery.

[22:06] Which from the beginning of the ages. Actually it was the ages. Has been hidden in God. Now. I am called to make all men see. Things that have been hidden in God.

[22:17] How many of you know that. Many men who have problems. Exactly. Because. Okay. Have you ever seen. A girl. With seven legs.

[22:29] Now. Somebody says that. I'm going to teach you. How a girl can walk with seven legs. Huh. Or how a guy. Can walk. With. Eight legs. Huh.

[22:40] How. You mean. A human being. Oh yes. Do you mean an octopus. Or a spider. You know. People will be. Oh no. How can you be. Yes. Things that have been hidden.

[22:51] God. Not. No man knew. No. God hid it. It's not. God kept it. He hid it. There's a difference between keeping something. And hiding something. It was hid.

[23:03] Inside God. I've been talking about this for a long time. Hid inside God. Now. After Christ died. He called Paul. Go and preach. What has been hidden in me. So.

[23:16] Paul's. Teaching. About the church. Was so deep. It took. It takes a long time. And. A period of time. In working with God.

[23:27] And growing God. To begin to understand. So Peter says that. These things that I'm telling you. Our beloved brother Paul. Wrote about. Oh. Come on.

[23:38] He said. And. As our beloved brother Paul. The guy who rebuked me. For my hypocrisy. He was right. Wow. Peter said. He was right.

[23:49] But. Our beloved brother Paul. According. According to the wisdom. I gave it to him. Has written to you. Watch this. Verse. The next verse. Oh.

[24:00] As also in. His epistles. Speaking in them. Of. These things. In which. Are some things. Hard to understand. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because.

[24:11] If Paul is writing things. There will be something. And the problem is not only. That they are hard to understand. If you attempt. Some people attempt. To try and. Explain it. They end up twisting the scripture.

[24:22] When you are not well taught. Said. Those who are not taught. And they are not stable. They twist. This. What Paul has written. To their own destruction.

[24:33] As they do other scriptures. That means. When you twist the scriptures. You are destroying your future. So now. Let's go back to Peter.

[24:45] So. Now. I want to draw attention. To something very important. In. We. Speaking. Watch this. As also. In all his epistles.

[24:57] Speaking. Of them. Speaking. In them. Of. These things. Say these things. Say these things. These things. So. These things.

[25:08] Are not referring to. What Paul has been speaking about. These things. Are referring to. What Peter is speaking about. Or was speaking about. But he is making reference. That Paul spoke.

[25:19] As well. About these things. I am talking about. So. Paul. Heavily spoke. About the gospel. How God. Has come to be with man. And has formed a church.

[25:29] For himself. That is. So. Peter. Also. He says. These things. That I am speaking. Paul spoke about them. So that means. Peter. Also. Spoke.

[25:40] The gospel. And his teaching. Never. Was divorced. From what the prophets have said. And other apostles have said. So now. That leads me. This is all introduction.

[25:50] Can you imagine? Wow. So now. The gospel. According to Peter. But if you say these things. We. That means that. We.

[26:01] It will be good to consider. Things. What Peter has been speaking about. He wrote. Eight. Chapters. First. Peter has five. Second. Peter has three.

[26:12] How many in all? Eight. Are you sure? Yes. He wrote eight chapters. But in these eight chapters. He captures. The. Core. Essentials.

[26:22] Of. Ghost. Agenda. Which is called. The true gospel. Wow. Wow. The core. Essentials. That's why he was saying that. Paul also spoke about these things. The core.

[26:34] The core. The core. What are the core essentials of the. Of the gospel. Without which. You don't have the gospel. The full gospel. Number one. Is. From the side of God.

[26:45] Number two. From the side of the believers. Number three. From the side of the. Of Satan. And number four. The side of the universe. God has got something. To say. The gospel. Touches. On God. Who God is.

[26:56] And his agenda. The gospel. Touches. On who. The believer. Is. And what's going on. With the believer. The gospel. Touches. On. Satan. How he has.

[27:06] An appetite. For the believer. And the gospel. Touches. On the universe. How the world. Was formed. And how. Where the world. Is going to end. How God has brought.

[27:17] Judgment. In the past. How he's going to bring. Judgment. How God has dealt. With false prophets. How God has dealt. With demons. How God. It's all part of the gospel. So the gospel. Is not only. Count to Jesus.

[27:27] Here you'll be saved. No. The gospel. Is all encompassing. The actual. Message. Of God. The eternal. Agenda. Of God. From eternity. Past. To eternity.

[27:38] Future. Everything that God. Is doing. And has got to say. Is part of the gospel. Why. Didn't. People ask this question. Where did. Cain. Get. His wife.

[27:49] Where. My father. Got. My mother. My mother. Where did. Cain find. His wife. Those days.

[28:01] They used to live. 700 years. When is. A virgin. Ready. To be a wife. 17 years. So by the time.

[28:12] Your great. Great. Grandmother. By the time. Or your great. Great. Great. Granddaughter. Is born. You have. A lot. Your cars.

[28:22] They are everywhere. There are many people. So why didn't. Bible mention them. That's where I'm going. Why should they mention them. For what. The Bible is not a history book.

[28:33] That way. It's not recording history. That happened. Because it didn't mention Confucius. The Bible didn't mention Aristotle. The Bible never mentioned Plato.

[28:46] Even though these guys were there before Peter. The Bible does not mention every. Alexander the Great. Surprising was not mentioned. Because he actually made a huge impact.

[28:59] Before Jesus was born. He didn't mention Alexander the Great. I just can't believe. Because it's not a history book. Even Jesus Christ.

[29:11] Not everything he did was recorded. Not everything. After Jesus died. How many of the disciples did you hear about? Wow. Does it mean that they cease to exist?

[29:22] They were all there. But we are not. How about Mary? What happened to Joseph? The natural father of Jesus. What happened? We don't know. Why don't we know? Because I don't need to know it. It's not important.

[29:33] How did Mary die? What does it do for me? How did Paul die? What does it do for me? How did Peter die? What does it add to my life?

[29:44] It doesn't do anything for my redemption. Apart from my inquisitivity. So anything that is not recorded in the Bible. Has not got anything to do with your redemption. This.

[29:57] Contains God's redemption program and plan. So when Peter said. Also spoke about these things. He is talking about things.

[30:08] That have to do with God's. Eternal purpose. Program. Redemption. And better still. God's economy. God's eternal program. God has a program.

[30:20] I pray that you prepare yourself to be part of God's program. Because with you. With or without you. God is going to do what he wants to do. God has a program.

[30:34] So Peter. What was the gospel of Peter? I told you. The four aspects of the gospel. God. The believers. Satan. Satan. And the universe.

[30:44] The universe includes all human beings. So we have to know. Next week. Possibly. I probably have to go. A bit more. Into the believer. When you become a believer.

[30:55] This whole Christian journey. What it entails. It's not just being in church. Some of you have decided. Okay. Now I go to church. The first time is funny. You are funny. You. I will not go to church.

[31:10] Because there are some nice people. That place is nice. Oh no. You are getting this wrong. That's not why we come to church. Being in church doesn't mean you are in the plan of God. There is a whole bigger.

[31:22] And so can you imagine. That all of us here. There is a section amongst us. Which. Who. I can know. Who belong. To God. You think. Everybody here is going to heaven.

[31:33] No. In your dreams. Wow. Not everybody here is going to heaven. Yeah. But not everybody here has. Really has Christ in them. There are people who think. They might be thinking they are Christians.

[31:44] But when the rabbi hits the road. Jesus will tell you. I don't know you. God. The way you have been sinning. And living. Like. Anything. You have been in control of your life. I've never been in control.

[31:54] Wow. Jesus will tell you. I've never been in control. But you thought. You are coming to church so. But you are still in control. Wow. So that means that you are here. But you are not part of those Christ.

[32:06] Wow. Lives in. The. The true church will always be. Smaller than. The number in the congregation. That's right.

[32:20] We can have people who are. Outside of the congregation. But they are part of the true church. Forget it. Those people will tell you. You will be surprised. One day in heaven. You will be surprised.

[32:30] People who will see. People who have never been to church. Is that crap. Kind of God philosophy. It will never happen. People who have never been to church. They have never been part of the church. You can't be part of the church.

[32:41] You can't be part of the church. You can't be part of his body. No. Your clothes are not part of your body. But your finger is part of your body.

[32:52] If you are genuinely a Christian. You will be part of the body. And the actual body. Which also has localized expressions. My finger.

[33:03] You know local anesthesia. What does that mean? It's not general. It's just in a particular. Because that's local to this area. That's what local church is about.

[33:14] If you are part of the body. You will be found in some local church somewhere. Local. Local. How come you say you are part of the body. But we don't know your location. You are a balloon.

[33:35] Is somebody learning something? Yes. So. We. Peter. Peter. Said. I need to tell you about the church. Next week. I will go more about the believers.

[33:46] But today. With this short time. I am left with. About God. The gospel. God. In the gospel. What is it? What role does God play?

[33:57] The gospel does not start from man. It starts from God. Christianity doesn't start from man. It starts from God. It doesn't start from angels. It starts from God. So.

[34:07] Paul. In 1st. Romans. Chapter 1. He says that. The gospel of God. Romans chapter 1. Verse 1 and 2. It says. The gospel. Paul. Born seven of Jesus Christ. Called to be apostles. Separated or towards.

[34:18] The gospel of God. Not the gospel of a pastor. Wow. Wow. The gospel has a copyright on it. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's God's gospel. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[34:29] Wow. Wow. It's God's gospel. Don't change it. Wow. Wow. Don't change it because people don't like it. It's not yours. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's not yours. When your manager asks you to send an email, you work in the hospital, someone comes to do a scan and then they said we'll send it to you later.

[34:47] And then later on when the results came, they said send it to the person. The person has got cancer. You can say it's my friend so I can't send him that. Let me send him something else. Please. It's not your message. It's just a, it's, come on.

[34:59] It's, whether he likes, whether it's to make the person cry, it's still send it. It's not your message. Don't change the message. The gospel is not yours.

[35:09] It doesn't belong to the church for politicians to show us what we should preach. Who owns the gospel? God. So if you are faithful to God, you keep his gospel the way it is.

[35:26] I'm teaching you some good stuff. It's the gospel of God. So he said that to understand this whole gospel, you can understand it without knowing the role of God.

[35:43] So first, from the side of God, this true gospel of Peter. In, in, where does God come in? Oh, right from chapter one.

[35:56] First Peter chapter one, verse one and two. Is there. Let's all read Allah from the screen. Let's go. Excuse me. So who wrote the letter? See, his name is just there.

[36:08] So you don't get confused about it. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

[36:19] Some people have been elected. I'm not talking about our prime minister. The next one coming, I don't think you'll be elected.

[36:34] But God, one day there was an election. You stood for office. And God said, me, you have my vote.

[36:44] I voted you. Thank you. And you know what is interesting? You were elected based on not your behavior.

[36:58] Based on the foreknowledge of God the Father. God knew that you were coming, so he elected you before you appeared. He knew you were coming, so he elected you before he showed up.

[37:12] It was based on his foreknowledge, not based on your arrival. Now, the reason why you are in church, the reason why you are Christian is because God elected you based on his foreknowledge.

[37:24] Not because your parents are Christians, but elected because of his foreknowledge. This is what makes Christians shout hallelujah. So it's God from eternity past.

[37:37] God elected us. God chose us based on his foreknowledge. So that means that God chose a people in eternity according to his foreknowledge.

[37:55] God said, God said, does that make sense when he said in which there are some hard things, hard to understand?

[38:13] God didn't leave this kind of information in the human intellect. This one is superior knowledge. It's cool. It doesn't matter how much. So sometimes some people, when they are professors or they are highly educated, they think, I should understand.

[38:30] No, no. It's not everything that you can understand. Because it has been hid in God. Except a man is born again. John 3.3.

[38:41] So, chapter 2. Peter, first chapter 2, verse 9. Said, you are a... Ah. Ah.

[38:53] You mean I'm chosen? Not just elected. God said, come. Me. He said, no, no, no. You. Somebody said, no, it can be you. God said, yeah, it is you. They said it's coming by you.

[39:04] They thought you were a fornicator by me. I've chosen you. Wow. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. They ruled you out that you are a gangster. You are a rowdy person.

[39:16] Nothing good can come out of you. They ruled you out. But God said, I've chosen you not based on your gangster shit. But I've chosen you based on my foreknowledge. I knew I was going to do something with your life.

[39:26] That's why Satan couldn't kill you before God chose you. Because his chosen is based on his foreknowledge. Not your behavior. Amen. God chose us.

[39:38] So he said, we are a chosen generation. A royal priesthood. Can you imagine? We are royalty. Wow. Ah. Chosen into royalty.

[39:53] Ah. It would have been interesting if it's only royalty. But royal priesthood. Look at somebody. Do I look like a priest?

[40:05] Tell them. That's exactly what I am. We are a special people of God.

[40:20] We are a holy nation. Come on. Say. Before this happened in time. God has hidden all this. And he was only dealing with the Jews.

[40:31] So the Jews thought. Any other person is not important to God. Suddenly. They found out these people are also. Wow. Serving God. But they still are not that important. And Paul said, you are wrong.

[40:43] No. The Jews said, no. No. They are not that important. Even though they are now. We can keep them on the side. And allow them to also do something. But they are not that important. They are not in the court. Paul said, you are wrong. The economy of God has always been.

[40:55] Not just a change. It has been part of God's plan. That Jews and Gentiles will be one body. They will be one body. But you never knew. And it's not just one body. But they are a royal body.

[41:08] Royalty. And not only royalty. You Jews. It's only the priests. Certain people in the Aaronic priesthood. Or Levites who are priests. But now. It's a brother priesthood of all believers.

[41:19] What? Does that make sense when Peter says that hard things to understand? Am I teaching some Christians that?

[41:34] This is what sometimes a lot of pastors can teach. But this is what a pastor, Christian pastor, to be able to teach. And start the prosperity nonsense. Teach professing prosperity.

[41:46] Prosperity. Once now you are finished. You don't have anything. Then you begin to look for something else. And say okay it's too much. I taught you too much. Now. Because. Because of your hunger and your materialism. If you are stayed with the gospel.

[41:58] You do. There's no way you go wrong with the true gospel. Yes. Yes. So. What is happening is that. As you guys are listening to these kind of things. It prepares you to be a decent.

[42:09] Basic. Those of you who do pastoring work. A basic Christian pastor. These are just. These are the tenets of Christianity. Wow. People can be in church for so long. And these things are strange to them.

[42:21] So who has been teaching you? Who has been teaching you? You are going around saying that. The wealth of the wicked is laid out for the righteous. God has blessed us who will lend to nations.

[42:37] Someone came to ask me that question. That Bible says that God. In Deuteronomy. I will bless you. And you will lend to nations. And he said. Why are Christians poor? There have been some.

[42:47] Today. Someone said. Pastor. I have a question. Why are Christians poor? He says God. I will bless you. And you will lend to nations. I said. Two answers. Number one. Your premise is just.

[42:58] Off and wrong. Christians are not poor. He said. But there are a lot of Christians. Who. People. They don't have. They were like that before they came. Don't talk like Christianity make them poor.

[43:14] Christianity has never made anyone. It doesn't make anyone poor. And doesn't make anyone necessarily rich. You don't have to be a Christian. You don't have to be rich.

[43:26] And being a Christian will not make you poor. It's like. You are trying to say. Why are there so many Christians. Who don't have PhDs. It's not Christianity. That made them not have it.

[43:37] They didn't have it. Before they came. But there are Christians. Who have PhD. Who didn't have it. But when they came. And they heard the word of God. They got sense. To pursue a PhD. Or master's.

[43:48] Or basic degree. Boy. So. What do you mean by Christian. Why are many Christians poor? The reason why. A lot of people.

[43:59] Come to church. When poor. Is. It's easy to be a prisoner. And say. I'm born again. But we can't really check. Whether it's true. Yeah. You didn't understand what I was saying.

[44:13] Because you might not be really born again. But you are just saying. Because you want the freedom. Yeah. When you get your freedom. See that is why. It's good that your libido is so high. Prove that you love God.

[44:23] In spite of that libido. Wow. You need. The opposition. To prove you are authentic.

[44:36] All right. So. When you become a Christian.

[44:50] It is God's idea first. And. It's based on his foreknowledge. We are chosen. Say I'm chosen. I'm chosen.

[45:01] Chosen. Chosen. And elected. Wow. So that's where he starts. This whole thing. Oh. Oh. Pastor. I get what you say.

[45:12] So God planned. That there are some people. I'm going to elect. There are some people. I'm going to choose. There are some people. I'm going to select. When did he plan it?

[45:23] Before. Adam fell. No. This is hard to understand. You are a man. He's God. You are human. He's God. So. Hard to.

[45:34] But that's his plan. How do you know? But. How else shall we know? That's why he's put here. Peter said that's how he started. Started with God. But I know God is three in one.

[45:47] So God the father. Planned it. For knowledge. By his foreknowledge. How about God the son? Based. On the foreknowledge. Of the father.

[45:59] Christ. Came. In time. So what Christ came to do. Was not new. It was a new plan. It has already been. Pre. Planned.

[46:11] Christ. Dying on the cross. Was not. Something. And was not. An afterthought. When. Did that come into.

[46:21] Existence. Before the foundation. First Peter chapter one. Verse twenty. He said Christ. Was slain. Before the foundation. The lamb.

[46:32] He. He. Watch this. He indeed was. Foreordained. Who? Christ. He was foreordained. Fore. What does it mean? Foreordained. You know. Ordained.

[46:42] To ordained. Is like. Arranged. Appointed. That. And. Fore. It means before. Give us a. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.

[46:53] He was chosen. Before the creation. Of the world. That's Jesus. But. In time. It must manifest. Somewhere in time. That's why. You can't say. Something has happened.

[47:04] You have to give it time. Anything that happens. Must have. A timeline. In the same way. Anybody. Who is. Who is. A Christian. Who is part of the body of Christ.

[47:14] Must also have. A location. In a local church. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So Jesus Christ. Was.

[47:25] Give us. Amplify please. It is true. That he was chosen. And foreordained. Or destined. And foreknown.

[47:36] For it. Before the foundation. Of the world. So. Before. The foundation. In other words. The world. Was made. Jesus was already foreordained.

[47:48] To come and die. For those God who choose. Or God has also. Is going to choose within time. But he foreknew them. And that's what makes the gospel.

[48:00] Very. Gospolic. I know what you're thinking. But how can God know. You know. God is not like us. To know things.

[48:11] From the beginning. Before they happen. But so. Did God know. Adam and Eve. Was saying. What do you think? Yes. Do you think you're surprised? Ah. What has happened here?

[48:26] God is omniscient. There's nothing he doesn't know. He knows. Before he was creating the earth. He knew that you will be here. That's why he chose you. Before he created you. It's interesting.

[48:39] This is the gospel. See the gospel. You see the gospel. See the gospel. It's hard. That's why a lot of pastors. Don't preach it. Wow. But when you can get it. And you don't have to.

[48:50] Understand. How God does it. But you have to. Understand. What it means. Okay. Because if you don't understand. What it means. It's gibberish. But just understand that.

[49:00] Some people were. Chosen in God. Before the foundation. Christ was crucified. The lamb was slain. Before the foundation. Of the earth. Does that.

[49:13] Make. Any sense. Yes. Yeah. Before. So before we started the service. Some people came to clean the place. Is that what you don't understand? So before. We also got onto this earth.

[49:25] Christ's blood. Was already prepared to speak. That's how come. Watch this. That's how come. The blood of Jesus. Even though he died. 2000 years ago.

[49:36] Can go back. 2000 years before. And still wipe. The sins of the people. Because the blood. Was shed. Before. Now.

[49:47] Ah. It's getting complex. I don't know. So that's why. Just stay with the before. Don't try. So how can that. How will God do it? What.

[49:58] Have you even understood. Why. You eat rice. White. And then it comes out. A different color. Do you understand.

[50:09] How. Simple. One. Seed. Spamatozo. One. Spam. Spam. One. One. Tiny. Your eye cannot see. Spam.

[50:22] Entres. A woman's womb. After nine months. Then why you be thinking about. How does it happen. You want to think about. How.

[50:33] God. Planned this before. What science can. Even explain. You are struck. It's quite complex. Even what human mind. Can explain. It's a bit complex. Yes. I tell you.

[50:43] I want to understand. How. Yeah. Talking. That's crap. Blood was shed. Before everything found. And then later on. In time. He said it. He said. It was for them. Before the foundation. But in due time.

[50:56] It's the only Bible. But was manifested. In the last times. So it can be applicable. To us. It can be. Of effect. To human beings. That's the gospel.

[51:11] So God planned it. Christ. Was foreordained. To come. And die. On the cross. To activate. Those God has elected.

[51:22] That's talking about you and I. Because without. The blood of Christ. You can be saved. So for our salvation. And our redemption. Christ must die.

[51:33] But his dying. Is not an aftertouch. Not something new. We understand from Peter. And from the scriptures. He was foreordained. That's why when Satan came to him.

[51:44] And he says that. If you are the son of God. Come down from the cross. He didn't mind him. That's why he said. Father. This is difficult. If it's possible.

[51:55] Let this cup come past. Nevertheless. Not as I will. We have already planned this. We have planned this. He knew he was coming to die. To activate the redemption.

[52:05] And the salvation plan. To make it a reality among humanity. Including Moses. Including. So how about those who lived before he came. They were all saved in advance.

[52:17] So as soon as he died. It activated their salvation. And we are all. That mystery. Can you imagine. We and Moses. And Elijah. And Jeremiah.

[52:27] And Aaron. We are all part of one. One body. Not two bodies. One. Moses is part of the body of Christ. Do you hear what I say? Moses is part of the body of Christ.

[52:40] Elijah. Jeremiah. Isaiah. They are all part of the body of Christ. But. They were. Didn't Jesus say before Abraham. He said.

[52:52] Abraham. Desire to see my day. He said. You are not yet 50. And you are saying. Abraham. Desire to see. Abraham wanted to see my days. And he saw it. Huh? Desire. And he saw it.

[53:03] Abraham saw the days. That's why Abraham was saved. He saw the days of Jesus. In Galatians chapter 3. Verse 7. It says that. And because.

[53:16] Therefore. Galatians chapter 3. Verse 7. Alright. Verse 8. Let's go to verse 8. See this. It's a very powerful scripture. And the scriptures. Foreseeing that God will justify who?

[53:26] Gentile. Who? The Gentile. Who? See this Gentile thing. Jews. Gentiles. The original. The Jews thought they are the only children of Abraham. So Gentiles are not part of it.

[53:38] But God. Because God's original plan was to add our humanity. Foreseeing that Christ. And foreseeing that God will justify the Gentile by faith. Preach the gospel.

[53:49] Gospel? To Abraham? Gospel? Why? No, no, no. What's the gospel? What's the gospel? I know what you say. Christ died on the tree and the cross. And he was. Yes, that is the gospel.

[54:00] So that was preached to Abraham. How would that be preached to Abraham? That's where the mystery of God comes in. Abraham saw my days. And he was glad. The gospel was preached to Abraham.

[54:13] Back. The gospel was preached to Abraham. And the gospel God preached is that. In you. In you. All nations shall be blessed. There is Christ that is coming through your loins.

[54:26] And through your loins. And all nations. Not only Jews. All nations. So when Abraham received the call. And obeyed God.

[54:37] That was the promise. It was the coming Christ. Was going to come through the loins of Abraham. And Abraham saw it. And he believed it. And it was a counter to him for righteousness. Yes. How can an unbeliever appreciate this?

[54:56] How? How can someone who is out there. And then you go. Oh. You know. The Bible. Somebody wrote it. When you are so crazy. In that sense.

[55:07] We don't bother talking about this. This is so petty. The depths of the things I know about God. And concerning the plan. The economy of God. The full knowledge of God.

[55:18] Excuses me from this pediatric stuff. I know too much. I'm operating. Let's operate in that level. And leave those people. Okay. Who wrote the Bible? My mother.

[55:32] Did you understand what I was saying? When we are talking about the deep things of God. You two don't even have a clue. You are disturbing us with the shallow parts of the natural things.

[55:43] We are deep. Let me finish this. The Holy Ghost also plays a role. So Jesus Christ was slain to save God's chosen people.

[55:58] Look at 1 Peter 1 verse 18 and 19. Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things.

[56:09] Like silver and gold from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers. But with the precious blood of Christ. Watch this. What is the instrumental means for our redemption?

[56:24] With the blood of Christ. You are redeemed with the precious. Say precious. So precious to God. Modern jewelry.

[56:36] Precious blood. And it says with the precious blood of Christ. As of a lamb without blemish or spot.

[56:48] Spotless and sinless blood. That's what it took to redeem us. God has chosen us. But Christ. Based on the foreknowledge of God. Had to come in time.

[57:00] Even though it has been effected. Before the foundation of the earth. To execute by dying. Execute the plan of God. By shedding his blood. Because without the blood you can't be saved.

[57:11] So it took the foreknowledge of God. Of Christ. In bringing us. Into God's plan. So long as his choosing. His election is concerned.

[57:23] By Christ coming number one. To die. Second. First Peter chapter 2 verse 24. Look at it. First Peter chapter 3 verse 18. First Peter chapter 2 verse 24. It said. Let's all read. I think these scriptures are so good.

[57:35] Believers should just read. Let's go. To be himself. O our sins. Is it not only. O to be shamed. That he haventized his sins. And live for righteousness. And he starts to reveal.

[57:47] Oh. So. So. When he was hanging on the tree. Somebody came to ask me. Why is the Bible. Why is the Bible contradicting itself. Because here it says. Three other places. It says cross. Oh. Wow.

[57:57] See. When you are desperate. To find forth. This. This too. If you were even. You. You couldn't pass maths. Or English.

[58:08] Wait. You couldn't pass English. If you are writing the Bible. Would you write three. And another place. Write. Cross. When you know. They are very different. Even if you are stupid.

[58:18] You would do that. Because. It's too obvious. In those days. When they said someone. Was hung on a tree. They knew what it meant. Die on the cross. Was being on a tree.

[58:30] Yes. So. It's like interchangeable. So this shouldn't even be. A subject of worry. Yeah. But when people are so. Desperate to. Accused God. Satan is inside them.

[58:41] Yeah. Then they find. And then some of them. They come to you. And they challenge you. Yeah. And so you also hear. It's oh yeah. The Bible has contracted itself. One place. Jesus died on the cross. Another place. Jesus died on the tree.

[58:52] Oh. Damn me. What a certain place. I haven't seen a metal cross. Yeah. You haven't seen a metal cross before. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those days. They had.

[59:03] Nowadays they have it. Some people have some in their neck. Yeah. Metal cross. Those who have a metal cross. Jesus was not the only one to die on the cross please.

[59:14] Other people died on the tree. So. Anyway. It says. Who bore. Watch this. Who. Who himself bore our sins. In his own body.

[59:26] On the tree. What? So when he was on the tree. It was. He didn't have sin. But he was bearing sins. Who? Our own. Chapter 3 verse 18.

[59:39] I like chapter 3 verse 18. Oh man. Please. Can we read it together? Let's go. For Christ will to suffer and want us for sins. For the just for the undisks.

[59:50] That he may have been renounced to God. All right. Let's. Let's. Let's. Let's. Okay. Sure. Here. What did he suffer for? For sin. He's suffer for what? For sin. For sin.

[60:01] What did he suffer for? For sin. Ah. So Christ. No, no. Please. The first statement. What did he suffer for? Sin. For what?

[60:12] Sin. So he suffered for sins. But what sin has he committed? Pontius Pilate who killed him said. I have found no fault in him.

[60:23] Yeah. He asked the Jews. Which of you convict me of sin? There's no sin in me. Pontius Pilate said. There's no sin in me.

[60:33] In him. I don't find any fault. They also brought him to accuse him. He asked them. What has he done? Do you know what they said? You remember? I think chapter. Oh.

[60:44] Verse. Is it? No. Look of John's account. Where he asked him. Yeah. I think.

[60:55] I believe it's chapter 18. Or chapter 19. The beginning. He said. What has he done wrong? They said. If he haven't done anything. Would he have brought him to you? Can you imagine?

[61:07] No. He's asking them. What crime has he committed? Marty Radha. Okay. 1830. Verse 29.

[61:18] Verse 29. Pilate then went out to them and said. What accusation do you bring against this Jesus man? Listen to the answer.

[61:30] It's actually accusational. The answer is said. If he were not. Give us New King James. No. NIV. They replied. If he were not a criminal.

[61:41] They replied. We would not have handed him over to you. No. I know he is a criminal. Tell me he's a crime. Yeah. Tell me. I said. No. If he is not a criminal. Please.

[61:51] I know he is a criminal. You tell me he's a crime. You call this no crime. Yeah. But guess what. The one who is innocent. Do you remember when he says that you are saved by spotless blood?

[62:03] Blood without spot. Because he's innocent. 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 19. Without blemish. Wow. As of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

[62:13] So his blood was clean and innocent. But guess what. 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 18. While he was on the cross. He died. He suffered for sins. The sinless suffering for sin.

[62:26] That's the greatest miscarriage of justice. Ever in human history. A sinless person. Being executed for sins. That the just for the unjust.

[62:40] That he. Oh. So why did he die on the cross? Ah.

[62:55] So when they said. If you are the son of God. Come on from the cross. The sinner was tricking him to abort the plan of God. But he stayed on the cross. Because being on the cross. Was so he can bring us to God.

[63:09] Shout out hallelujah. Hallelujah. That's what the gospel is about. It's not I've stopped smoking. It's not I've stopped gambling. It's not I've stopped lying.

[63:19] It's not I've stopped cheating on my girlfriend. Get rid of her. It's not I've stopped fornicating. You can stop fornicating. And still go to hell. Yeah. Wow.

[63:30] But you must be brought to God. How can you be brought to God? It must take a sinless. Okay. Price. It's called the vicarious death. Yeah. Vicarious means in the place of another.

[63:42] So. This is his chair. And then I sit on the chair on his behalf. So it's a vicarious occupation. It's not him. But I'm doing it for him. So you did.

[63:53] You are supposed to die. On the cross. Don't you think so? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The soul that sinners shall die. The wages of sin is death. So you. The one who sinned.

[64:05] You were supposed to die. But he died in your place. So he died as if. As though it was. He was you. So that you can live as though. You are him.

[64:20] That's. That's. That's. That's the Christian life. The Christian. Simple. Simple Christian life. You are fighting with everybody. Aguing with everybody. You haven't changed. That's why.

[64:31] If Jesus was living. This is what he would be doing. I'm crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live. Just not I. The life I now live. I live by faith. You are not living your whole life now.

[64:42] That means you are born again. If you are born again. You don't live your own life. Yeah. You don't know me. You don't know me. Who are you? We don't want to know. You want to know Christ. Yeah. For me to live is.

[64:53] Christ. Are you learning something at all? Yeah. Well. Let me add one more. So I can close. So.

[65:07] Jesus Christ came in time. And has redeemed. And saved God's chosen people. How did he do that? By his. Vicarious death.

[65:19] Through the resurrection. First Peter 1.3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[65:34] Who according to his abundant mercy has begotten. Oh good God. He has begotten us. We are born again. So you have already been born by your mother. But God said no. I want to born you again. Amen. And so it's not your choice that you go born again.

[65:48] It's his choice. Your mother begot you. But God said me to have begot you. Because of his message. According to his abundant message has begotten us again.

[66:02] Unto a life. A living hope. How did he do it? How did he do it? Through the resurrection. So you see. It was. The resurrection was. An instrumental means.

[66:14] For us to be born. Into a living hope. His dying paid for our sins. By his resurrection brought us into God. Into a new hope. Because how can you get into God with your sins?

[66:28] So someone must pay for your sins. Then when your sins are paid for. Now you can come into God. So he had to die to pay for sins. But he had to resurrect. To bring us into God.

[66:39] If he had not resurrected. There's no way you'd be a Christian. So. This thing God chose. Before the foundation of the earth. It was so necessary. That Christ must come to die.

[66:51] For it to be effected. In 1 Peter chapter 3. Verse 21. And 22. Are you learning something?

[67:01] Are you very sure you are learning something? Some of you are learning something. That no one in your family has ever learned. 1 Peter chapter 3. Verse 21 and 22.

[67:12] There is also. There's also an antityp. Which now saves. As baptism. Not the removal. Right.

[67:23] Through the resurrection. Okay. Not the removal of the filth of the flesh. But the answer. Of a good conscience. Towards God. How? Through the resurrection. The resurrection of Christ.

[67:33] Is so important. It makes baptism effective. We baptize. Because of the resurrection. Verse 22.

[67:45] Who has gone into heaven. And is at the right hand of God. Angels and authorities. And powers. Having been made. Subject to him. So the resurrection of Christ.

[67:55] brings us. Into the purpose. Into the purpose. Of God. So now. God planned it. Christ. Based on the foreknowledge of God. Came to execute.

[68:06] The plan of God. So we. Can now be chosen. In real time. And then finally. The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit. Sanctifies. And purifies. Those Christ has redeemed.

[68:18] So when Christ. Redeems us. The Holy Spirit's job. Is now. Is sanctified. You know. Some of. You know. Oh. So I don't think.

[68:29] Any of you have. Seen. Fresh chicken. Oh. It's not chicken. Hen. Fowl.

[68:39] Being killed. For food. Think that. Nando's. Warrior. Being eaten. It. It was more like that. No. It was. Living. And then. The killing. I don't want to see.

[68:50] Something being. Killed. But you've been eating. The killed thing. Where do you think. The feathers go. Into your jacket. The feathers.

[69:04] We don't eat them. But. Once you finish. Killing. The hen. Or the cock. Or the fowl. You have to clean. The feathers. Open the guts.

[69:15] Take all the shaki out. And. And make it. Ready. For eating. Now.

[69:26] When you become born again. Now. The work is. You have to be clean. The feathers. You must be clean. You have to open your guts. The feelings. And all kinds of things. That have entered you. And gone into you.

[69:36] By Jesus. Through his word. Must start. By the Holy Spirit. To clean. All those things. Out of you. Getting you ready. For the glory of God. God. God. God. God. God.

[69:50] So he has to gut you. Clean you. There's too much shaki in your system. God. Amen. First. First. I gave us a scripture.

[70:01] And then. So we got close. All right. I hear you. I hear you. First. Peter. Chapter 1. Verse 2. Verse 12. Verse 22. Chapter 4. Verse 1. Chapter 4.

[70:12] Verse 14. First. Peter. Chapter 1. Verse 2. Verse 12. Verse 22. Chapter 4. Verse 14. Let's see. Let according to the foreknowledge of God.

[70:25] The Father. In sanct. Ah. In what? Sanctification. For obedience of faith and speaking of the blood. So you see. There are all the three there. So sanctification of the spirit.

[70:36] What does it mean to be sanctified then? Verse 12. What's the Holy Spirit doing sanctifying? To whom it was revealed that. Not to themselves. But to us.

[70:48] To us. They were ministering. These things. Which now have been reported to you. Through those. Watch this. Through those. Who have preached the gospel to you.

[70:58] By the whole. Oh. By the Holy Spirit sent from. So as we are preaching the gospel. The Holy Spirit is the one behind it. The power of the gospel. It's not thing that you can convince people to be born again.

[71:11] It's the Holy Spirit that convicts them to be born again. So as you go out and you are preaching. The Holy Spirit just says speak. And then I will do. Because he works with the preaching. So speak.

[71:22] And he will do it. Some of you. Up to now. It's still a mystery. How you ended up in church. You are surprised. How now this church thing is in you. And you are in it. How? Because no human being can convince you.

[71:35] It's the Holy Spirit. It's the Holy Spirit. Look at verse 22. Since you are. Since you are. Since you are purified your souls in obeying the truth.

[71:46] Ah. Through the Spirit. So the Spirit's job is to clean you. To purify you. To purify you. To purify you. It's the Spirit.

[71:57] It's the Spirit. So now that you are born again. The Holy Spirit has a lot of work to do. The rest of your life. The Holy Spirit is working on you. Yeah. It's cleaning you.

[72:08] It's cleaning you. Pastor, I'm born again. But I don't still feel the last ten months. I used to feel when I. It's every day. It comes sometimes. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm not born again.

[72:18] No, no, no. You are. You are. You are. But still. You are being gutted. Yeah. You are being clean. It's time. Time. Allow the Holy Spirit. Open up yourself.

[72:28] Through the Word of God. Chapter 4 verse 14. And then I end. If you are approached. If you are reproached.

[72:39] For the name of Christ. Blessed are you. For the Spirit of glory. And of God. Rest upon you. Because the Spirit is actually rested on you.

[72:50] Don't worry. If you are reproached. Say the Spirit is upon me. The Spirit is upon me. Say it again. The Spirit is upon me. The Spirit is upon me. Yeah. That's what it is.

[73:03] The Spirit is upon us. To help us. So. Anything you can achieve. Or accomplish. I don't like using the word. Using the word achieve. We receive.

[73:14] We don't achieve. Anything. So long as God is concerned. And Christianity is concerned. You can't have an achievement. That's right. It's God.

[73:25] Christ has attained. Resurrection for us. The purification for us. By anything you can attain. Get to. In God. Is the Holy Spirit.

[73:36] Who is the working. Strength. Remember Paul. Says that. By the effectual working of his power. Is the Holy Spirit. So. Now. This whole program. Of salvation.

[73:48] This whole program of God. The plan of God. The full gospel of God. It starts with God. And when we say it starts with God. God planned it. Christ executed it. And the Holy Spirit applied it.

[73:58] Next week. We will go to. The part of the believer. From the side of the believer. The gospel. According to. PR.
