WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.339 Good morning, everyone. Open up your copy of God's Word to the Gospel of John. 00:00:04.339 --> 00:00:14.060 I'm going to continue our study in John's Gospel, and today we're going to enter into the infamous John chapter 3, 00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:18.280 and something that we all grow up hearing a lot of. 00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:22.359 So before we dive into it, join me in a word of prayer. 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:34.079 Father, we come to you just needy and helpless today in asking that your Word would work deeply in our souls. 00:00:35.260 --> 00:00:40.940 And if we haven't come here today expecting to hear from you, that you would change that. 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:50.440 That we would have faith to believe the promises that we study today, and you would apply it to our hearts. 00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:54.740 And as at this time it would be pleasing to you, in Christ's name, amen. 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.840 Alright, we are in John chapter 3 today. 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.460 Some of the background, TJ did a wonderful job last week. 00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:06.980 But it's always good to just sort of reconnect to what's going on. 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:13.960 But the Gospel of John gives us a very clear portrait about the identity of who Jesus actually is. 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:20.099 And it also forces us to either receive Him or reject Him. 00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:24.480 This Jesus that is portrayed by John the Evangelist. 00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:28.340 We have to come to Him or flee from Him. 00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:30.859 It doesn't really leave much choice in this Gospel. 00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:37.280 But before we get into John chapter 3, just a little background and reconnection to last week. 00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:40.859 Jesus is now in Jerusalem with His disciples. 00:01:41.260 --> 00:01:47.020 And He has cleansed out the temple in His holy and righteous anger. 00:01:47.019 --> 00:01:50.739 And He goes on staying in Jerusalem with His disciples. 00:01:50.739 --> 00:01:55.039 And people see Him do many signs and many miracles. 00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:02.280 And it says that He actually kind of fled the crowd to avoid the fanfare. 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.739 Seeing that their expressed faith wasn't really real. 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:07.699 It was superficial. 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:09.539 And He knew it. 00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:10.519 He knew that. 00:02:11.019 --> 00:02:13.060 He didn't entrust Himself to them. 00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:19.840 So later on, we see the story here in chapter 3 of Nicodemus, a Pharisee. 00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:22.300 They came to Jesus at nighttime. 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.120 Probably to avoid the dangerous implications of actually being seen with Jesus. 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:33.039 Because many in His own religious order were against Jesus. 00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:37.460 So He sought Jesus out to take a closer look to hear Him out. 00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:42.039 He's genuinely intrigued by Jesus and His claims. 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:53.639 So we learn, though, in this interaction, some very serious things for our spiritual lives that are described in this interaction with Nicodemus. 00:02:54.259 --> 00:03:00.299 And it answers a massive question for us that John addresses. 00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:12.640 That question is, how can a fallen sinner that is dead to God actually enter into the kingdom of God? 00:03:13.219 --> 00:03:19.760 How can those who are dead and sin, how can they have new spiritual life? 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:30.939 How can those who are rebels against the king have peace with him and then enter into his kingdom as his loyal subjects? 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.159 Enter into his presence. 00:03:33.219 --> 00:03:33.919 That's the question. 00:03:34.939 --> 00:03:38.620 And the answer is we must be born again. 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.399 That's where we're going. 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:50.599 But the kingdom of God is God's active reign or His kingly rule, both in the present and in the future, 00:03:51.259 --> 00:03:56.400 that we get to experience in our souls once we come to know Christ. 00:03:57.099 --> 00:04:00.439 It's not just a future reign, but a current reign. 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.939 Right now, the kingdom is here and it is coming. 00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:11.500 Your kingdom come, your will be done, the kingdom is coming, but also the kingdom of heaven is here, it's at hand. 00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:14.800 Both are expressed in the New Testament. 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.240 Christ ushered in the kingdom of God when He came the first time. 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.199 He brought it in. 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.540 The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.699 Repent and believe the gospel, He said. 00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:29.939 It exists with us now in the present and is also spreading. 00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:35.980 His kingdom is spreading throughout the entire world by the preaching of the gospel. 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:43.060 And it will be perfectly realized when Christ comes to consummate at the end with His return. 00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:50.600 And so, again, this is serious, but the coming of God's reign, His kingdom, either forces us, 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.000 it demands us to either repent of our sin or it brings us into judgment. 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:57.319 It's one or the other. 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.540 And so, let's read our passage today. 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:07.659 Today, we're going to look at John 3, 1-10, the first little section of John 3. 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:09.139 We read, 00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:15.680 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.019 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, 00:05:19.019 --> 00:05:28.099 Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him. 00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:30.199 And Jesus answered him, 00:05:31.099 --> 00:05:38.560 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:40.839 Nicodemus said to Him, 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.139 How can a man be born when he is old? 00:05:44.619 --> 00:05:47.959 Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born? 00:05:49.219 --> 00:05:50.099 And Jesus answered, 00:05:50.259 --> 00:05:52.399 Truly, truly, I say to you, 00:05:52.979 --> 00:05:55.560 unless one is born of water and the Spirit, 00:05:55.699 --> 00:05:58.779 he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:01.599 That which is born of flesh is flesh, 00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:04.559 and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.819 Do not marvel that I say to you, 00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:10.899 you must be born again. 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.699 The wind blows where it wishes, 00:06:14.280 --> 00:06:15.800 and you hear its sound, 00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:19.639 but you do not know where it comes from and where it goes. 00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:24.439 So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.040 So, and we go on to verse 9 and 10. 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:29.699 Nicodemus said to Him, 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:30.939 How can these things be? 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:32.279 And Jesus answered him, 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.819 Are you the teacher of Israel, 00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:38.539 and yet you do not understand these things? 00:06:39.659 --> 00:06:44.159 So we will stop there to begin unpacking this section. 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:52.319 But one of the ways I like to approach passages that I've found helpful to break that up 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:53.839 is do it by questions. 00:06:54.299 --> 00:06:56.199 And the first one is, 00:06:57.419 --> 00:07:00.159 Why do we need to be born again? 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.840 Why do we need to be born again? 00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:08.740 And we see this toward the end, 00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:11.200 some of this at the end of chapter 2, 00:07:11.900 --> 00:07:13.580 just by way of reminder. 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.440 If you look at verse 23 of chapter 2, 00:07:17.320 --> 00:07:20.740 When He, Jesus, was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, 00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:25.300 many believed in His name when they saw the signs and miracles that He was doing. 00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:27.360 But Jesus, on His part, 00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:29.280 did not entrust Himself to them, 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.860 because He knew all people, 00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:34.439 and needed no one to bear witness about man, 00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:36.600 for He Himself knew what was in man. 00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:40.879 And so, we see here a couple of things, 00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:44.000 and from last week's passage and our passage today, 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.340 about what being born again is not. 00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:49.599 Just to clarify, 00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:52.199 it's not merely, 00:07:52.459 --> 00:07:53.299 this is important, 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.239 not merely affirming the supernatural in Jesus. 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.879 Jesus did not entrust Himself or commit Himself to those crowds 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.959 that were witnessing His signs and His miracles. 00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:07.099 He knew what was in their hearts. 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:12.259 He knew that many of them were not expressing genuine saving faith in Him, 00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:14.719 but were merely enthused, 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.480 mesmerized by all the signs and miracles that He was doing. 00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:23.139 So, belief in Jesus' name, 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.579 therefore, isn't just an intellectual assent to a true reality. 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:30.000 It's not just, 00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:31.379 Hey, yeah, there's Jesus. 00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:31.839 You know what? 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.700 There's something really amazing about Him. 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:36.840 There's something different about Him. 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.559 That's not what being born again is. 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.719 One of their own religious leaders that we see here today, 00:08:41.859 --> 00:08:42.519 Nicodemus, 00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:44.579 and others, 00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:46.099 it says in our passage, 00:08:46.619 --> 00:08:49.000 they affirm something special about Jesus too. 00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:50.279 He says, 00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:53.719 Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher that's come from God. 00:08:54.539 --> 00:08:59.139 Because no one could do the signs that you're doing unless God was with him. 00:08:59.859 --> 00:09:01.039 So even Nicodemus, 00:09:01.099 --> 00:09:03.959 notice that it says we in that verse. 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:05.219 And not just Nicodemus, 00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:06.939 he's implying that even other people, 00:09:06.940 --> 00:09:09.400 maybe other Pharisees as well, 00:09:09.900 --> 00:09:12.480 notice that there's something different about Jesus. 00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:15.120 And that God is actually with him. 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:17.780 So, and he calls him Rabbi, 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.700 which is a very respectful term, 00:09:19.860 --> 00:09:20.560 because Jesus, 00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:23.780 especially because Jesus had actually never been to their schools, 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.160 and received their formal training, 00:09:26.260 --> 00:09:28.560 as you can read about in chapter 7, verse 15. 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:29.720 But yet, 00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:31.120 yet, 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.980 Jesus does not respond to Nicodemus 00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:35.399 by saying, 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.200 hey, you know what? 00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:38.680 I wish what you're seeing now 00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:40.019 is what all those other people saw. 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:41.659 He doesn't say that. 00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:44.440 I wish that they could see the truth that you see, 00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:45.180 Nicodemus. 00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:46.920 He doesn't respond to that. 00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:47.220 Instead, 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.220 he catches them completely off guard. 00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:50.800 And Jesus says, 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:51.440 Nicodemus, 00:09:51.560 --> 00:09:51.920 listen 00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:53.480 very carefully 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.279 to me. 00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:58.399 You cannot enter into the kingdom of God 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.159 unless you're born again. 00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:04.220 You'll never even see the kingdom of God. 00:10:05.420 --> 00:10:05.820 And so, 00:10:06.060 --> 00:10:06.480 it's not, 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:07.879 being born again 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.159 is not just 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.399 beholding signs 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:12.720 and miraculous things 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.360 that Jesus may do, 00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:16.580 and being mesmerized by them, 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:17.639 and even giving credit. 00:10:18.740 --> 00:10:19.000 Right? 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:19.700 That's what he says. 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:19.980 Like, 00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:21.320 no one could do it 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:22.740 unless God was with him. 00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:26.580 That doesn't save anyone. 00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:27.659 So, 00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:28.720 one of the great dangers 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.360 of signs and miracles 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.860 is because you don't need 00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.399 a supernatural life 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:35.779 to be amazed by them. 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:37.919 Satan himself 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:38.740 knows that Jesus 00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:40.019 is the Son of God 00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:42.139 and that he works miracles. 00:10:43.180 --> 00:10:44.279 It's Mark 1.24. 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:44.840 So then, 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:46.019 merely acknowledging 00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:48.600 that there's something supernatural 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:49.879 about Jesus 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.139 does not give you the key 00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:53.379 to the kingdom of God. 00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:55.019 So, 00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:56.299 is there someone you know 00:10:56.299 --> 00:10:57.059 that, 00:10:57.620 --> 00:10:58.559 right now even, 00:10:58.759 --> 00:10:59.720 that may know some 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.080 true things about Jesus, 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.480 recognize something special 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.059 or different about Jesus, 00:11:06.620 --> 00:11:07.919 but it hasn't really gone 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.819 beyond that? 00:11:09.819 --> 00:11:10.939 We see here, 00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:12.500 so it's not just 00:11:12.500 --> 00:11:14.820 affirming the supernatural 00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:15.620 in Jesus. 00:11:16.780 --> 00:11:17.480 It's also 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:18.640 not merely getting 00:11:18.640 --> 00:11:19.300 new religion 00:11:19.300 --> 00:11:20.240 as we see here 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:21.500 in this passage. 00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:23.300 Nicodemus was a Pharisee, 00:11:23.380 --> 00:11:23.840 which means 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.160 the separated ones. 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.700 During the rule 00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:28.640 of Herod the Great, 00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:30.420 there were several 00:11:30.420 --> 00:11:31.300 thousand of them. 00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:33.620 He had lots of religious 00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:35.060 zeal for the law of Moses. 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:35.760 He had dedicated 00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:36.640 his life 00:11:36.640 --> 00:11:37.280 to studying 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:38.539 and memorizing 00:11:38.539 --> 00:11:39.439 huge portions 00:11:39.439 --> 00:11:40.839 of the Old Testament Scripture. 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.620 And most Pharisees 00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.240 at this time 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:44.720 prayed two hours a day, 00:11:45.339 --> 00:11:46.419 they fasted 00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:47.220 two days a week, 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:48.600 and they tithed everything. 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:50.399 He said Nicodemus 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.039 was a ruler 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:51.659 of the Jews, 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:52.279 meaning that he was 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:53.259 one of the head leaders 00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:54.259 in the Sanhedrin, 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.100 the religious council 00:11:56.100 --> 00:11:57.699 of the Jews 00:11:57.699 --> 00:11:58.439 at that time. 00:11:59.199 --> 00:11:59.839 He was the head 00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:01.179 of most of us 00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:01.759 in terms of 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.220 his religious zeal. 00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:04.339 Yet, 00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:06.139 Jesus again says, 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.460 he tells them 00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:08.600 that's not enough 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:09.940 to enter 00:12:09.940 --> 00:12:10.920 into the kingdom 00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:11.700 of God. 00:12:13.019 --> 00:12:13.899 He refers 00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:14.980 to the Pharisees 00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:16.040 in Matthew 23, 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.480 27-28, 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.120 Woe to you, 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:20.379 scribes and Pharisees, 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:21.040 hypocrites! 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:22.720 For you are like 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.300 whitewashed tombs, 00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.899 which are outwardly 00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:26.759 appear beautiful, 00:12:26.920 --> 00:12:27.300 but within 00:12:27.300 --> 00:12:28.259 are full of dead 00:12:28.259 --> 00:12:29.320 people's bones 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:30.460 and uncleanliness. 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:31.980 So, 00:12:32.180 --> 00:12:32.960 you also 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:33.900 outwardly 00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:34.659 appear righteous 00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:35.379 to others, 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:36.480 but within 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.199 you are full 00:12:37.199 --> 00:12:38.039 of hypocrisy 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:38.899 and lawlessness. 00:12:40.459 --> 00:12:40.860 So, 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:41.439 just getting 00:12:41.439 --> 00:12:42.659 religious, 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:43.679 having religious 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:44.299 fervor, 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:45.639 doesn't equal 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.559 being born 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.240 again. 00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:49.240 You think of 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:50.500 someone you may know 00:12:50.500 --> 00:12:51.299 or you yourself 00:12:51.299 --> 00:12:52.919 that becoming 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:53.419 a Christian 00:12:53.419 --> 00:12:54.500 is just adopting 00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:55.759 some new customs, 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:57.840 some new traditions. 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:00.100 It's not, 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:01.480 or do you think 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:02.120 it's just about 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:02.800 outward, 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.320 external behavior 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:06.100 modification, 00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:07.519 where you 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.860 deem certain 00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:09.980 things as good 00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:10.440 and certain 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:11.300 things as bad 00:13:11.300 --> 00:13:11.680 and you 00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:13.159 try not to do 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:13.960 bad things 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:14.779 and try to do 00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:15.560 good things, 00:13:16.420 --> 00:13:16.980 that your 00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:18.019 relationship with 00:13:18.019 --> 00:13:19.019 God just boils 00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:19.879 down to a bunch 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:20.580 of do's 00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:22.100 and don'ts. 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:23.920 That's not it. 00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:25.159 So, 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:25.980 Jesus says 00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:26.399 that either 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:27.060 affirming 00:13:27.059 --> 00:13:27.919 the supernatural 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:28.359 in Him 00:13:28.359 --> 00:13:28.859 or just 00:13:28.859 --> 00:13:29.519 simply having 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.439 religious zeal 00:13:30.439 --> 00:13:32.119 does not equal 00:13:32.119 --> 00:13:33.579 entrance to 00:13:33.579 --> 00:13:34.019 the kingdom 00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:34.819 of God. 00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:36.439 There's a big 00:13:36.439 --> 00:13:37.159 problem. 00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:38.439 So, 00:13:38.579 --> 00:13:39.279 why does 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.059 Jesus say 00:13:40.059 --> 00:13:40.839 that you must 00:13:40.839 --> 00:13:41.679 be born again? 00:13:42.699 --> 00:13:43.359 Why does He 00:13:43.359 --> 00:13:43.939 say that? 00:13:44.739 --> 00:13:45.079 Well, 00:13:45.099 --> 00:13:45.959 the answer is, 00:13:45.979 --> 00:13:46.459 make all these 00:13:46.459 --> 00:13:47.199 connections in 00:13:47.199 --> 00:13:47.519 the Scripture, 00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:49.139 the answer is 00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:50.659 that man, 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.559 fallen man, 00:13:52.479 --> 00:13:53.799 we are born 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:55.379 spiritually 00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:56.100 dead. 00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.679 Our sin, 00:13:58.960 --> 00:13:59.659 our falling 00:13:59.659 --> 00:14:00.159 short, 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:00.820 or our missing 00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:01.620 of the mark 00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.759 of God's 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:03.899 intended purpose 00:14:03.899 --> 00:14:04.399 has brought 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:05.220 all men 00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:05.960 and all women 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.299 to spiritual 00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:07.799 death. 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.320 As it says 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:10.679 in Ephesians 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:11.059 2, 00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:12.200 just make the 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:12.639 connections. 00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:13.480 You ever 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:14.299 done it before? 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:15.700 Why do you 00:14:15.700 --> 00:14:16.100 have to be 00:14:16.100 --> 00:14:16.600 born again? 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:17.240 The connection 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:17.759 is because 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.379 you're spiritually 00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:18.820 dead. 00:14:19.299 --> 00:14:19.700 You have to 00:14:19.700 --> 00:14:20.559 have a new 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.259 life. 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:23.019 Ephesians 00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:23.500 2, 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.100 verse 1 00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:25.779 through 3, 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:26.200 you were 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.000 dead in 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.120 your trespasses 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.399 and sins 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:29.860 in which you 00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:30.700 once walked, 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:31.940 following the 00:14:31.940 --> 00:14:32.600 course of 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:33.220 this world, 00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:33.920 following the 00:14:33.920 --> 00:14:34.540 prince of 00:14:34.540 --> 00:14:35.060 the power 00:14:35.060 --> 00:14:35.680 of the air, 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:36.519 which is 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:36.840 Satan, 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:38.379 the spirit 00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:39.000 that is now 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:39.460 at work 00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:40.019 and the sons 00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:40.960 of disobedience 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:41.639 among whom 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:42.540 we all once 00:14:42.540 --> 00:14:43.920 lived in the 00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:44.540 passions of 00:14:44.540 --> 00:14:45.659 our flesh, 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:46.840 carrying out 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:47.500 the desires 00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:48.000 of the body 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:48.519 and the mind 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:48.899 and were by 00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.759 nature children 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.500 of wrath 00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:51.879 like the rest 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:52.779 of man time. 00:14:52.779 --> 00:14:54.980 So the 00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:55.579 Greek word 00:14:55.579 --> 00:14:55.980 for dead 00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:56.519 here means 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:57.100 corpse. 00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.279 It means 00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.120 a lifeless 00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.899 body. 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:01.039 It's what 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:01.399 you see 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:02.039 in a cemetery 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:03.000 or a funeral 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:03.459 home. 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:05.019 It's spiritual 00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:05.799 corpses 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.419 before God 00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:08.159 because sin 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:08.759 has done 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:09.539 that to us. 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:10.980 Sin 00:15:10.980 --> 00:15:11.740 is awful. 00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:13.620 So 00:15:13.620 --> 00:15:14.740 traditionally 00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:16.039 many people 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:16.799 look at this 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:18.159 there's been 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:18.639 debate 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:19.139 obviously 00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:19.419 over
