00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.560
 Take your Bibles and turn to Hebrews chapter 10.

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:19.019
 So I'm thankful that we're a part of a church that has chosen to preach through books of the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter.

00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:19.019


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:44.780
 One of the most difficult things about it is you run across certain passages that you think, if we were actually preaching a topical series on how to love your mom very well and how to have a good day, this would be one of the passages you would just want to skip.

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.780
 You wouldn't want to actually read this passage and preach on it.

00:00:47.780 --> 00:01:10.200
 But since we've been working our way through the book of Hebrews, we land on chapter 10, verse 26 through 31, which it would be a really sad day if a pastor came up and started the sermon with a joke, with a passage like this.

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:19.620
 So kind of with a heavy heart, we can read this in Hebrews chapter 10, verse 26 says,

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:38.300
 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.

00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:46.200
 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.

00:01:47.219 --> 00:02:03.959
 How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified and has outraged the spirit of grace?

00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:08.859
 For we know him who said, vengeance is mine, I will repay.

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.280
 And again, the Lord will judge his people.

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.840
 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

00:02:19.859 --> 00:02:21.219
 Just join me in prayer.

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:29.639
 Father, we just, after even just reading this so many times and reading it out loud now to your people,

00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:40.559
 I feel very weak and unprepared, insufficient to preach on such a message.

00:02:40.559 --> 00:02:48.019
 But I know that all those who stand in this pulpit do so by their, by your grace, Lord, and not by their merit.

00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:57.760
 And so, Lord, I just ask that you would apply your word through your spirit to each individual's heart as you see fit.

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:10.439
 And Lord, help us to walk away with a holy fear of you today, but also a deep, deep gratitude for the grace that we have been saved by in Christ.

00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:16.180
 So, Lord, be our teacher and be honored in this time.

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.439
 In Jesus' name, amen.

00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:24.859
 So, with such a text, just so you know, I don't really manuscript a lot up here.

00:03:24.979 --> 00:03:30.360
 I don't really write out every single word I'm going to say because the more papers I have stacked up, the more stressful it feels to me.

00:03:30.860 --> 00:03:36.219
 So, I usually condense things and then I print front and back so I don't have a ton of pages up here.

00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:38.740
 I usually, it's like four pages.

00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:40.020
 This is six pages.

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:49.240
 I'm not saying that to go, oh, gosh, we're going to be late for lunch, but like just mainly because I wanted to make sure I was working through this rightly.

00:03:49.699 --> 00:03:52.400
 And I hope it lands in the right place.

00:03:53.159 --> 00:04:06.819
 But remember, the book of Hebrews is written to an audience that has moved out of Judaism into believing in Jesus as the Messiah and embracing the new covenant, embracing the gospel.

00:04:06.819 --> 00:04:10.859
 Many of them have done that, but many of them are still on defense.

00:04:10.859 --> 00:04:24.039
 Many of them are still trying to decide whether this Messiah thing is real and whether or not Jesus is the bringer of a superior covenant, that he is the true high priest, etc.

00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:31.480
 And then many are maybe hearing this and wanting to remain in Judaism and saying, no, you need to come back.

00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:33.020
 You need to come back to the law of Moses.

00:04:33.140 --> 00:04:36.120
 You need to come back to the Levitical priesthood.

00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.259
 And so all kind of different people could be hearing this letter.

00:04:40.259 --> 00:04:52.000
 But today it's a picture of the very scary sin of apostasy, meaning someone that's taken on some outward form of Christianity.

00:04:52.159 --> 00:04:53.139
 They look like a believer.

00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.339
 They've talked like a believer.

00:04:54.779 --> 00:04:56.079
 They bought the T-shirts.

00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:57.180
 They listened to the music.

00:04:57.180 --> 00:04:58.180
 They went back to the church.

00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:02.280
 And then in the long run, they end up renouncing the faith and walking away.

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.800
 And this is very heavy for me.

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:16.460
 Many of you are aware that a pastor that I've respected for many years and have really benefited a lot from his sermons, his books,

00:05:17.259 --> 00:05:20.220
 Josh Harris was Joshua Harris.

00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:33.040
 One of the most well-known books that he wrote was I Kissed Dating Goodbye, which was like very enlightening to me coming out of a unbelieving lifestyle of just dating around and doing what I wanted to do.

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.400
 So I wept and I was in mourning for like the first two weeks after that actually came out.

00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:46.640
 And I really hope and pray that men are pursuing him to bring him back into the faith.

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:52.959
 But it just reminded me that many people start well, it seems like they start well, and they don't finish well.

00:05:54.019 --> 00:05:59.759
 And the chances are that some people in this room today have started and won't finish with a crowd this big.

00:06:00.599 --> 00:06:05.000
 What you think you believe and confess today, you may not in the future.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:13.240
 As a young believer, the year 2001 or two, I should say.

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.579
 No, it was 2001.

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.160
 It was my senior prom at Duluth High School in Garnett.

00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:25.540
 I had been a believer for maybe five or six months, probably.

00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:30.199
 And I was very zealous to reach all my crazy friends for Jesus.

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:35.800
 Because I would talk about it with them, and a lot of them just didn't want to hang out with me anymore.

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.839
 Other ones were just like, yeah, that's cool, whatever.

00:06:39.039 --> 00:06:39.860
 You're still our friend.

00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:44.620
 Let's just keep talking about fishing and deer hunting and sports and things like that.

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.039
 But let's not talk about Jesus.

00:06:49.099 --> 00:06:52.419
 But I was very zealous for evangelism in a good way.

00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.480
 But I also was kind of a bull in a china closet.

00:06:54.579 --> 00:06:56.279
 I didn't really know what I was doing.

00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:02.759
 I was just trying to model what I thought was effective evangelism tactics.

00:07:03.899 --> 00:07:06.259
 Which was really get them saved quick.

00:07:06.859 --> 00:07:07.939
 Get them to pray a prayer.

00:07:08.159 --> 00:07:09.039
 Get them to come to church.

00:07:09.139 --> 00:07:09.719
 Get them baptized.

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:11.179
 And then like, we're good.

00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:12.719
 That's kind of like what I really thought.

00:07:13.619 --> 00:07:19.179
 So we have to be, one lesson out of this is be very careful how you evangelize.

00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.279
 And be very careful you don't just produce false converts.

00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:27.959
 And today, I would have sat down with this same young man I'm about to mention.

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.779
 After I had shared the gospel with him amply and really made sure he understood it,

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:36.559
 I probably would have spent two weeks trying to talk him out of following Jesus.

00:07:37.719 --> 00:07:40.379
 Meaning, following Jesus is difficult.

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.759
 You have to take up your cross.

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:43.699
 People could hate you.

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:44.799
 You could lose your friends.

00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:47.759
 Take him to Matthew 10 or Luke 14.

00:07:48.219 --> 00:07:51.259
 Get him to weigh the cost of following Christ.

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:55.199
 And if the spirit was at work in him, I wouldn't be able to talk him out of it.

00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.219
 Or else, he would just walk away and be like, you know what?

00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.019
 I prefer my sin and my friends more.

00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:10.360
 But the first guy that I really was intentional with, to share the gospel with, was a guy named John.

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.019
 He was still a senior in high school.

00:08:14.659 --> 00:08:15.399
 He was a junior.

00:08:15.539 --> 00:08:16.180
 I was a senior.

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:21.259
 And he was kind of a football player at Duluth.

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:25.459
 He was kind of a big sob story, kind of a big soft guy.

00:08:26.100 --> 00:08:30.840
 And we went to prom that night.

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.360
 He went with one of my good friends.

00:08:33.060 --> 00:08:35.659
 And that same night, she dumped him, like on prom night.

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:37.200
 So, bad scenario already.

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:44.060
 And so, he is just a mess outside, like 3 a.m., tailgating on the back of my truck.

00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.580
 And I go and sit down with him.

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:52.000
 And I really desire to show this guy that Jesus cares about him.

00:08:52.140 --> 00:08:52.759
 I really do.

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:57.399
 But I began talking to him about God, about the Lord.

00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.480
 And he was like, yeah, yeah, uh-huh.

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:02.639
 Like, I'm all on board.

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:08.439
 And just a process began where I started talking to him more and more over the next few weeks and months.

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.179
 And he prayed the sinner's prayer with me.

00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:14.019
 He came to my church.

00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:18.919
 And he came forward and, you know, got introduced to the church.

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.479
 And then he started coming around our youth ministry because technically we were still in high school.

00:09:25.659 --> 00:09:31.759
 And, you know, all of a sudden I see him start talking to all the girls there.

00:09:32.779 --> 00:09:36.599
 And he was very flirty, hanging out.

00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:38.039
 And I kind of saw what was going on.

00:09:38.099 --> 00:09:43.740
 And I just said, hey, buddy, I just don't think it's a good idea for you to, like, be trying to reengage in another relationship.

00:09:43.959 --> 00:09:45.439
 And he was like, oh, I'm not doing that.

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:51.680
 And then maybe two months later, he was in a serious relationship with one of them.

00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:58.660
 And later on, she broke up with him saying, I don't even know if he's actually a real Christian or not.

00:09:58.700 --> 00:10:01.060
 I just kind of dove into this really quickly with him.

00:10:02.420 --> 00:10:09.060
 And when she broke up with him, he came to me and said, this has all been like a load of bull.

00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:12.260
 And Jesus is not real.

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:17.059
 You told me if I followed Christ, I would be satisfied and I'm not satisfied.

00:10:17.779 --> 00:10:21.580
 And pretty much walked away from the Lord.

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.899
 And ever since then, even today, still not following Jesus.

00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:33.779
 I think all of us, I could tell you a lot more stories, but that was just impactful because that was the first guy I thought I had led to the Lord.

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:37.139
 And I learned so much from that.

00:10:39.779 --> 00:10:44.579
 You know, and if you look around, many people will not finish well.

00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:46.879
 It's just a fact.

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:55.340
 And I want us to be very careful because we definitely believe that as followers of Jesus, we're supposed to use discernment.

00:10:55.419 --> 00:11:01.019
 We're supposed to like help some kind of in a helpful way, be able to see where somebody is.

00:11:02.419 --> 00:11:05.840
 Discern where this person may be spiritually so we can help them.

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:17.940
 But be careful that you don't cast the final judgment on someone, meaning I don't think that person is a believer or she's not a believer or he's not a believer.

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.560
 Be very careful of that language.

00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:24.800
 And if you're going to even make that statement, please be a part of the process of bringing that person to Jesus.

00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.379
 Just don't say it in a condescending way.

00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:36.419
 We need to understand that we're supposed to discern, but only God alone knows at the end of the day.

00:11:37.599 --> 00:11:44.679
 But this is a very heavy subject, and it has to do with the just judgment of God.

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.240
 And we often think that people are only motivated by the love of God.

00:11:49.339 --> 00:11:51.259
 People are only motivated by the grace of God.

00:11:51.319 --> 00:11:52.639
 And those are great motivations.

00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:00.120
 But in this passage, this writer is also saying that the judgment of God is a great motivation to flee toward Jesus.

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:02.659
 A great motivation.

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:15.139
 And it warns of the impending judgment upon those people who come around the church, hang out with believers, hear the gospel message, get kind of immersed in truthful knowledge,

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:21.500
 appear on the surface to be a believer, but then in the day they reject the faith and walk away.

00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:30.179
 But he also uses this to exhort the real believers he's writing to, which he affirms based on their perseverance that comes in the next few verses.

00:12:30.319 --> 00:12:33.539
 The next part of this is about their perseverance under trial.

00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:38.399
 So really just walking through this by asking two different questions.

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:46.079
 But number one, for whom is there no longer any sacrifice for sins?

00:12:47.079 --> 00:12:50.480
 For whom is there no longer any sacrifice for sins?

00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:56.759
 And I'm taking this in different parts of the verses, but verse 26, we see,

00:12:57.680 --> 00:13:01.940
 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth,

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.659
 and go to verse 27, he mentions adversaries.

00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:09.000
 And then verse 29,

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.559
 Who has trampled underfoot the Son of God,

00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.860
 and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified,

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.860
 and has outraged the Spirit of grace.

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:22.799
 So first, in verse 26, we see that

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.159
 the person that had no longer a sacrifice for sins

00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.659
 is someone who goes on sinning deliberately,

00:13:31.459 --> 00:13:34.439
 or willfully continuing in sin.

00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.380
 Which begs the question,

00:13:36.920 --> 00:13:38.480
 you may say,

00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:42.120
 well, I'm pretty darn sure I'm a true believer.

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:44.720
 Like, I really believe that Jesus has saved me,

00:13:44.780 --> 00:13:45.640
 and I'm born again.

00:13:46.560 --> 00:13:50.800
 Is this saying that I can't sin as a believer?

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:54.300
 Because any sin you commit as a believer is a deliberate sin.

00:13:55.060 --> 00:13:58.100
 You know, we sin out of our desires.

00:13:58.740 --> 00:14:02.920
 And so, what is this referring to you?

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:04.699
 The quick answer is,

00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:09.000
 no, I truly believe is not referring to those who truly love Christ.

00:14:09.459 --> 00:14:11.379
 I don't think he has those people in mind.

00:14:12.479 --> 00:14:15.059
 He's not talking about those who are being saved,

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.139
 and being transformed in the image of Christ,

00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:18.620
 for a couple reasons.

00:14:18.699 --> 00:14:22.500
 But one, the grammar talks about the present conscious action,

00:14:22.939 --> 00:14:24.179
 going on sinning,

00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.819
 a deliberate or willful show.

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:30.280
 So, it's not just one particular isolated sin,

00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:31.940
 or moment of sin,

00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:33.300
 that this person has in mind.

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:34.440
 He's talking about

00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.580
 an extensive, habitual lifestyle,

00:14:37.820 --> 00:14:40.620
 where someone lives in this type of attitude

00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:41.860
 all the time.

00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:45.500
 Woefully and gladly sinning against

00:14:45.500 --> 00:14:47.560
 the sacrifice of Jesus.

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.479
 Because they have this ongoing love,

00:14:51.299 --> 00:14:52.319
 growing love,

00:14:52.599 --> 00:14:54.559
 for sinning against the Lord's grace.

00:14:55.359 --> 00:14:57.199
 Until they become like Esau,

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:58.479
 and they cannot repent.

00:14:59.259 --> 00:15:02.139
 That's in chapter 12, verse 16.

00:15:03.199 --> 00:15:05.339
 So, it's not really referring to just

00:15:05.339 --> 00:15:07.379
 one particular isolated moment of sin,

00:15:07.439 --> 00:15:08.379
 but the extent of it,

00:15:08.439 --> 00:15:09.619
 and the willingness of it.

00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:13.019
 I only have three places for you to look

00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:15.700
 outside of Hebrews today,

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:17.240
 but two of them are in 1 John.

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.159
 But hold your hand in Hebrews, please,

00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:21.159
 and look at 1 John.

00:15:21.299 --> 00:15:22.899
 Turn to your right.

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:26.060
 1 John, chapter 1.

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:32.659
 So, even though true believers,

00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.039
 even myself,

00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:35.500
 have gone through seasons

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:38.720
 where we were kind of in rebellion against God,

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.340
 even as a child of God.

00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.560
 But, if you read Hebrews 12,

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.060
 we see that God disciplines those whom He loves.

00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:49.460
 He doesn't allow them to go on long

00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:51.779
 in that season of rebellion.

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:54.019
 He brings them to their senses.

00:15:55.220 --> 00:15:56.399
 But in 1 John,

00:15:56.580 --> 00:15:58.139
 most of you know that it's a book

00:15:58.139 --> 00:16:00.519
 partly written to help people discern

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.500
 whether or not they are a true believer

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:04.160
 or a false convert.

00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:07.420
 And so He's saying, you know,

00:16:07.419 --> 00:16:09.659
 people that are true believers

00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:12.819
 live and act and talk like this.

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.740
 And then those over here

00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:16.839
 look and act and talk like this

00:16:16.839 --> 00:16:17.459
 and they're not.

00:16:18.099 --> 00:16:20.299
 So, He's asking us to examine ourselves

00:16:20.299 --> 00:16:21.579
 to build up our confidence.

00:16:22.459 --> 00:16:24.839
 But in 1 John, chapter 1, verse 5,

00:16:24.979 --> 00:16:26.579
 this is what He says.

00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:29.879
 This is the message we have heard from Him

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:31.180
 and proclaim to you

00:16:31.180 --> 00:16:33.160
 that God is light

00:16:33.160 --> 00:16:35.680
 and in Him there is no darkness at all.

00:16:36.800 --> 00:16:39.160
 If we say we have fellowship with Him

00:16:39.160 --> 00:16:40.860
 while we walk in darkness,

00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:43.540
 we lie and do not practice the truth.

00:16:44.500 --> 00:16:46.120
 But if we walk in the light

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.259
 as He is in the light,

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.560
 we have fellowship with one another

00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:50.600
 and the blood of Jesus

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.400
 cleanses us from all sin.

00:16:53.180 --> 00:16:55.020
 If we say we have no sin,

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:56.399
 we deceive ourselves

00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.240
 and the truth is not in us.

00:16:58.939 --> 00:17:00.620
 If we confess our sins,

00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:02.519
 He is faithful and just

00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.460
 to forgive us our sins

00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:06.759
 and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.180
 If we say we have not sinned,

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:10.220
 we make Him a liar

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:12.220
 and His Word is not in us.

00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.960
 So, it's asking you

00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:17.259
 to kind of step back and look.

00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:18.539
 It's saying God is light

00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:21.619
 and in Him there is no darkness at all.

00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:23.500
 So, if you are living in darkness,

00:17:24.739 --> 00:17:26.000
 walking in darkness,

00:17:26.199 --> 00:17:28.359
 practicing sin and darkness,

00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:31.319
 you cannot say that you have fellowship with God.

00:17:31.479 --> 00:17:32.879
 It's just an impossibility

00:17:32.879 --> 00:17:34.539
 because God is light.

00:17:35.659 --> 00:17:37.039
 And he's not referring to this

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.299
 that Christians never sinned

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:39.619
 because look, look real closely.

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.819
 In the same passage,

00:17:40.979 --> 00:17:42.019
 John reminds us

00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:44.500
 that when we do sin as believers,

00:17:45.259 --> 00:17:47.419
 God has provided a way of forgiveness, right?

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:48.839
 The blood of Jesus' Son

00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:50.339
 cleanses us from all sin.

00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:53.879
 So, we base our confession of sin

00:17:53.879 --> 00:17:57.139
 on the truth that God is faithful and just

00:17:57.139 --> 00:17:58.500
 to forgive us our sins.

00:17:59.099 --> 00:18:00.779
 So, he's not talking about

00:18:00.779 --> 00:18:02.659
 when a believer,

00:18:03.699 --> 00:18:04.679
 through sanctification,

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.559
 goes back to sin temporarily.

00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.879
 Rather, those that go on

00:18:08.879 --> 00:18:10.199
 sinning deliberately

00:18:10.199 --> 00:18:12.339
 after receiving the knowledge of the truth

00:18:12.339 --> 00:18:14.959
 is saying that they are not

00:18:14.959 --> 00:18:16.139
 and probably never were

00:18:16.139 --> 00:18:18.740
 genuine believers to begin with.

00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:21.240
 They never fully, wholly embraced

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.579
 the gospel of Jesus.

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.019
 And their life didn't result

00:18:26.019 --> 00:18:27.799
 in a way that produced faith

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:28.440
 and obedience

00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.519
 and love toward Christ.

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.359
 In other words,

00:18:32.620 --> 00:18:35.420
 the faith they claimed in Christ

00:18:35.420 --> 00:18:36.460
 didn't hold water.

00:18:37.120 --> 00:18:38.180
 It didn't last.

00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:39.440
 It didn't persevere.

00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:40.440
 It wasn't real.

00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.920
 Paul wrote to the Corinthians

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:44.360
 that he believed that there was

00:18:44.360 --> 00:18:45.799
 divisions among them

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:46.920
 and factions among them,

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:49.160
 false teaching coming among them.

00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:50.180
 And this is what he said,

00:18:50.779 --> 00:18:52.500
 For there must be factions among you

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:54.140
 in order that those who are genuine

00:18:54.140 --> 00:18:56.340
 among you may be recognized.

00:18:57.080 --> 00:18:59.160
 So, those who are the true believers

00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.000
 will continue to kind of hold their ground.

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:04.460
 the result of false converts,

00:19:04.660 --> 00:19:06.119
 again, they renounce the faith

00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.059
 and leave the community of believers

00:19:08.059 --> 00:19:10.519
 and return to their idols

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.140
 and their former way of life.

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:14.640
 And since you're in verse John,

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:15.799
 just go to chapter 2

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.700
 and look at verse 19.

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:20.920
 This is a picture of that.

00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.840
 They went out from us,

00:19:24.060 --> 00:19:26.080
 but they were not of us.

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:28.279
 For if they had been of us,

00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:30.120
 they would have continued with us.

00:19:30.820 --> 00:19:31.880
 But they went out,

00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:33.640
 that it might become plain

00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:35.320
 that they were not of us.

00:19:36.300 --> 00:19:38.539
 But you have been anointed by the Holy One

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:41.039
 and you have all knowledge.

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.580
 I write to you,

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:44.279
 not because you do not know the truth,

00:19:44.380 --> 00:19:45.480
 but because you know it

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.620
 and because no lie is of the truth.

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:52.719
 So, he's saying they left us

00:19:52.719 --> 00:19:54.619
 because they were never really a part of us

00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:55.439
 to begin with.

00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:58.500
 And they left so it would be plain to everyone else

00:19:58.500 --> 00:20:00.599
 that they were never a part of us.

00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:04.059
 So, just beware that

00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:07.199
 it's not referring to just a believer

00:20:07.199 --> 00:20:09.139
 who sins.

00:20:09.239 --> 00:20:10.479
 Because when a believer sins,

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:11.799
 we confess it.

00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:13.859
 We don't deny it, we confess it.

00:20:14.419 --> 00:20:15.619
 We walk in the light,

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.679
 confessing our sin to God.

00:20:18.619 --> 00:20:22.179
 We are broken and heartbroken over our sin.

00:20:22.639 --> 00:20:24.359
 We don't rejoice in it at all.

00:20:25.979 --> 00:20:28.259
 I thought about using this illustration.

00:20:28.439 --> 00:20:29.519
 I'm just going to go ahead and use it.

00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:31.119
 It kind of is silly.

00:20:31.239 --> 00:20:31.979
 You laugh at first,

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:33.379
 but then it really makes sense later.

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.159
 Because to be born again

00:20:36.159 --> 00:20:37.959
 is a spiritual miracle.

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:38.979
 It's a miracle.

00:20:39.619 --> 00:20:41.139
 It's not something that's like

00:20:41.139 --> 00:20:42.659
 in the natural process.

00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:47.060
 So, let's say that

00:20:47.060 --> 00:20:49.840
 before you were a true believer,

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.960
 you were like a fish.

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:53.720
 And you lived in the water.

00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:54.960
 That was your natural habitat.

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:55.920
 You had scales,

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:56.759
 and you had gills,

00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.140
 and you breathed in the water.

00:20:58.900 --> 00:21:00.420
 And then a miracle happened,

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:02.700
 and you're turned into a human being

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:04.060
 from a fish.

00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:05.539
 And now,

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:07.460
 your natural habitat is land,

00:21:07.619 --> 00:21:08.619
 and you have nostrils

00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:10.099
 that you breathe air with.

00:21:11.299 --> 00:21:11.879
 And so,

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:13.279
 even though that transformation

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:14.079
 has happened,

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.879
 as a human being,

00:21:15.919 --> 00:21:17.200
 you can still get in the water.

00:21:17.419 --> 00:21:18.720
 You can go get in the water

00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:19.279
 and swim,

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:22.200
 but you cannot live in the water.

00:21:22.339 --> 00:21:22.519
 Like,

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.579
 you have to come out of it

00:21:23.579 --> 00:21:24.259
 or you will die.

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:25.720
 So,

00:21:25.859 --> 00:21:27.139
 it's kind of a picture of

00:21:27.139 --> 00:21:28.619
 a true believer.

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.799
 We can temporarily

00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.000
 rebel against God

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.500
 and go against His design for us,

00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:36.960
 but we cannot remain there.

00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:39.859
 The Spirit drives you crazy.

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:40.859
 He will not allow you

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:43.259
 to enjoy your position longer,

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:45.099
 and the Father will discipline you,

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:48.039
 lovingly discipline you,

00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:49.599
 back to repentance.

00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:50.159
 So,

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:53.980
 that's the first thing we see

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:55.119
 in our question is,

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.619
 for whom is there no longer

00:21:56.619 --> 00:21:57.959
 any sacrifice for sins?

00:21:58.059 --> 00:21:58.519
 First off,

00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:00.139
 they go on sinning deliberately.

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.980
 They live in it.

00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:02.779
 They walk in it.

00:22:02.819 --> 00:22:03.579
 They practice it.

00:22:03.619 --> 00:22:04.240
 They love it.

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:06.599
 The second thing we see

00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:07.399
 in verse 27,

00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:09.980
 God refers to them

00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:11.019
 as adversaries,

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:15.480
 and His fire will consume them.

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:16.699
 So,

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:18.339
 God is just not buddy-buddy

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:19.399
 with people like this.

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:20.560
 He's not some weak

00:22:20.560 --> 00:22:22.700
 old man in the sky

00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:23.500
 beckoning them

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:24.600
 to just come back,

00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.040
 and He can't do anything about it.

00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:28.000
 He looks at sinners

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.220
 as an adversary.

00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:32.600
 We are His enemies

00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:34.120
 until we become His friends

00:22:34.120 --> 00:22:34.860
 through Christ.

00:22:35.780 --> 00:22:36.600
 It's just the teaching

00:22:36.600 --> 00:22:37.400
 of God's Word.

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:40.019
 He's talking about people

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:41.000
 in the long haul

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.160
 that will reject God

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:43.640
 and remain His opponents,

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:45.240
 living against Him

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:46.960
 and called apostate.

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.460
 So,

00:22:49.180 --> 00:22:50.420
 they've rejected

00:22:50.420 --> 00:22:52.200
 God's offering of peace

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.039
 through the gospel

00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:54.579
 and have turned around

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:55.620
 and walked away

00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:57.880
 and spat on those terms

00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:59.700
 so God calls them

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:00.180
 an enemy.

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.840
 And the fact that

00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:02.980
 they're still walking around

00:23:02.980 --> 00:23:03.500
 and breathing

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:04.480
 and haven't perished

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:05.420
 is God's mercy

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:06.920
 toward them.

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:09.299
 Thirdly,

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:11.840
 underneath that same question,

00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.359
 for whom is there

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:14.339
 no longer a sacrifice

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:15.000
 for sins.

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:15.679
 Verse 29,

00:23:16.679 --> 00:23:17.740
 the ones who trample

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:19.480
 underfoot the Son of God.

00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:20.139
 Doesn't that language

00:23:20.139 --> 00:23:21.319
 just like make you

00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:22.579
 nauseous to think about?

00:23:25.379 --> 00:23:26.539
 Those who have trampled

00:23:26.539 --> 00:23:27.379
 the Son of God

00:23:27.379 --> 00:23:28.000
 underfoot,

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:30.039
 the one who laid down

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:31.199
 His life for them

00:23:31.199 --> 00:23:32.959
 to be received

00:23:32.959 --> 00:23:33.799
 as a substitute

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.459
 for them,

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.339
 instead of receiving

00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:37.439
 Jesus with joy

00:23:37.439 --> 00:23:38.199
 and gratitude

00:23:38.199 --> 00:23:39.099
 for salvation,

00:23:39.099 --> 00:23:42.119
 they took a quick pause.

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:43.379
 They got some religion.

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:44.559
 They got some teaching.

00:23:45.179 --> 00:23:46.359
 They kind of cleaned up

00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:47.219
 their outward life

00:23:47.219 --> 00:23:47.859
 a little bit.

00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.799
 They made some buddies

00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:50.439
 in the church.

00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:51.019
 They hung out

00:23:51.019 --> 00:23:51.719
 with the saints

00:23:51.719 --> 00:23:52.019
 and thought,

00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:52.819
 these are nice people.

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:53.939
 I don't have a friend group.

00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:54.799
 These are nice people.

00:23:55.439 --> 00:23:56.500
 I'll hang out with them.

00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:59.000
 And then,

00:23:59.079 --> 00:23:59.519
 eventually,

00:23:59.699 --> 00:24:00.539
 they stepped back

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:02.500
 into their idolatry.

00:24:03.459 --> 00:24:04.599
 The term trampled

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:05.159
 underfoot

00:24:05.159 --> 00:24:05.699
 is an ancient

00:24:05.699 --> 00:24:06.639
 Near Eastern gesture

00:24:06.639 --> 00:24:07.279
 that shows

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:08.199
 pure hatred

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:08.799
 and contempt

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.480
 for someone.

00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:10.740
 And they would literally

00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:12.019
 walk on someone

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.920
 or walk on something

00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:13.940
 that belonged to

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:15.200
 that person

00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:15.880
 to show

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.220
 their utter scorn.

00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:18.759
 And this is what

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.539
 sinners do.

00:24:19.620 --> 00:24:20.480
 Instead of falling

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:21.140
 on their face

00:24:21.140 --> 00:24:23.319
 before the Son of God,

00:24:24.860 --> 00:24:25.620
 in humility

00:24:25.620 --> 00:24:26.460
 and gratitude,

00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:28.100
 instead

00:24:28.100 --> 00:24:30.600
 of weeping

00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:31.860
 at that precious gift,

00:24:31.980 --> 00:24:32.720
 they turn around

00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:34.259
 and just spit on it

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:34.799
 and choose

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:35.580
 to trample

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:36.720
 the blood

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.359
 of Jesus,

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:38.299
 the Son of God.

00:24:39.899 --> 00:24:41.000
 It's dangerous.

00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:43.099
 It's very dangerous.

00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:45.159
 And a helpful

00:24:45.159 --> 00:24:46.419
 thing I've heard

00:24:46.419 --> 00:24:47.839
 is these people

00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:48.679
 were never really

00:24:48.679 --> 00:24:49.259
 a part of,

00:24:49.379 --> 00:24:49.460
 like,

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:49.960
 the vine.

00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:50.799
 They were a parasite

00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:51.659
 on the vine.

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.240
 If you want to think

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:53.839
 of it that way.

00:24:53.879 --> 00:24:54.720
 They were there

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.299
 receiving all the blessings

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:57.039
 that come through

00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:58.259
 the community of faith,

00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:00.339
 through the gospel,

00:25:00.939 --> 00:25:01.619
 all the outward

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:02.740
 blessings of that.

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:04.120
 But at the end of the day,

00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:04.740
 they weren't really

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:05.400
 a part of it.

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:07.680
 Fourthly,

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.140
 under this,

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:09.240
 there's just two more.

00:25:10.120 --> 00:25:10.720
 For whom is there

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:11.700
 no longer a sacrifice

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:12.299
 for sins?

00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:12.799
 Those who have,

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:13.519
 in verse 29,

00:25:14.120 --> 00:25:14.960
 profaned

00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:16.400
 the blood

00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.000
 of the covenant.

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:18.599
 Meaning that

00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:19.319
 they've regarded

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:20.319
 the blood of Jesus

00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:21.559
 as something common

00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:22.460
 and ordinary.

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:24.319
 Nothing special

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:24.980
 about it.

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:26.200
 Nothing precious

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:26.839
 about it.

00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:28.500
 They profaned it

00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:29.759
 instead of loving it.

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.500
 They looked at that

00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:33.119
 of the cup

00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:34.559
 of the new covenant,

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:35.720
 the blood of Jesus,

00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:36.440
 and just said,

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:38.059
 that's nice.

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:38.900
 No thank you.

00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:40.920
 And they go on sinning.

00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:42.460
 So,

00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:43.140
 if you look,

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:43.400
 it says,

00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:44.779
 by which he was sanctified.

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:46.519
 This is a tougher

00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:47.359
 interpretation.

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.980
 But after looking at it,

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:50.839
 I won't say that

00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:51.779
 I'm 100% right.

00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:52.660
 Some say it refers

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:53.259
 to Jesus,

00:25:53.819 --> 00:25:54.579
 how Jesus,

00:25:54.579 --> 00:25:55.539
 his blood

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:56.420
 was sanctified.

00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:58.480
 But I kind of think

00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:59.340
 it actually refers

00:25:59.340 --> 00:26:00.720
 to a different

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:02.100
 meaning of the word.

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.420
 It really just means

00:26:03.420 --> 00:26:04.100
 a set apart.

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:05.140
 That's not really helpful.

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:06.440
 But,

00:26:07.340 --> 00:26:08.779
 so isn't this sanctified

00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:09.580
 a term for those

00:26:09.580 --> 00:26:10.720
 who are truly saved?

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:12.700
 Isn't it a term

00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:13.240
 that we use

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:13.880
 for believers

00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:15.120
 who are being transformed

00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:16.560
 into the image

00:26:16.560 --> 00:26:17.180
 of Christ?

00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:18.720
 Yes,

00:26:18.779 --> 00:26:19.360
 that's typically

00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:19.980
 how we use

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:20.640
 that language.

00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:21.980
 It is the testimony

00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:22.600
 of Scripture

00:26:22.600 --> 00:26:24.240
 and the writer

00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:24.800
 of Hebrews

00:26:24.800 --> 00:26:25.480
 that all those

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:26.640
 who are truly born again,

00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:27.640
 truly saved,

00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:29.360
 are sanctified.

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:31.900
 If you just rewind,

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:32.360
 look at,

00:26:32.620 --> 00:26:33.680
 if you're not back in Hebrews,

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.500
 go back to Hebrews.

00:26:35.120 --> 00:26:35.559
 Sorry,

00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:36.460
 but if you go back

00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:37.680
 to Hebrews chapter 10

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.839
 where we're at

00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:40.039
 and look at verse 14

00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:41.799
 and it says,

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:43.720
 for by a single offering

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:45.839
 he has perfected

00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:46.819
 for all time

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:48.380
 those being sanctified.

00:26:49.299 --> 00:26:50.380
 So that

00:26:50.380 --> 00:26:51.960
 is a picture

00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:53.500
 of eternally saved,

00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:54.640
 eternal security,

00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:56.800
 us who are saved

00:26:56.800 --> 00:26:57.680
 that we're currently

00:26:57.680 --> 00:26:59.740
 being sanctified.

00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:01.640
 But because of the work

00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:02.120
 of Jesus,

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:03.940
 we're already perfect

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:04.920
 in the eyes of God.

00:27:05.060 --> 00:27:06.380
 So we're the already

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:07.100
 but not yet.

00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:08.040
 We're pressing into

00:27:08.040 --> 00:27:09.140
 what we already are.

00:27:09.560 --> 00:27:10.660
 We're cleansing out

00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:11.380
 the old leaven

00:27:11.380 --> 00:27:13.080
 and becoming a new lump,

00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:13.840
 Paul's language.

00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.859
 So that's the same word.

00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:17.319
 But I don't,

00:27:17.399 --> 00:27:18.459
 I think that one of them

00:27:18.459 --> 00:27:20.839
 in verse 14

00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:23.939
 proves for eternal perfection

00:27:23.939 --> 00:27:25.000
 and verse 14

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.119
 proves toward

00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:28.079
 the guilt of apostasy.

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:30.220
 What is mentioned

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:31.519
 in verse 29 then

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:33.079
 is what we might call

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.799
 fruitless

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:35.419
 sanctification.

00:27:36.459 --> 00:27:37.159
 Someone has,

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:37.439
 again,

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.500
 some religious affiliations,

00:27:39.679 --> 00:27:40.159
 some outward

00:27:40.159 --> 00:27:40.859
 purification.

00:27:40.859 --> 00:27:42.099
 Again,

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:45.439
 they quit partying.

00:27:45.659 --> 00:27:46.419
 They kind of clean up

00:27:46.419 --> 00:27:47.299
 their outward life

00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:48.000
 a little bit.

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:49.159
 They become,

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:49.619
 quote,

00:27:49.699 --> 00:27:50.439
 better people.

00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:52.159
 They buy Christian

00:27:52.159 --> 00:27:52.639
 t-shirts

00:27:52.639 --> 00:27:53.699
 and Christian music

00:27:53.699 --> 00:27:56.099
 and they appear

00:27:56.099 --> 00:27:57.459
 to be all in.

00:27:58.479 --> 00:27:59.199
 But eventually,

00:27:59.479 --> 00:27:59.879
 again,

00:27:59.979 --> 00:28:00.859
 something happens

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:03.019
 that pushes them away.

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:05.199
 If you've ever been

00:28:05.199 --> 00:28:05.919
 a part of leading

00:28:05.919 --> 00:28:07.139
 someone to Christ,

00:28:07.140 --> 00:28:08.880
 just pray

00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:09.780
 for that first

00:28:09.780 --> 00:28:11.160
 year

00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:12.100
 for them

00:28:12.100 --> 00:28:12.580
 hardcore

00:28:12.580 --> 00:28:13.380
 because

00:28:13.380 --> 00:28:15.000
 it usually

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:16.240
 is that first trial

00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:17.600
 or that first temptation

00:28:17.600 --> 00:28:18.480
 that breaks them.

00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:20.280
 And if they press

00:28:20.280 --> 00:28:20.820
 through that,

00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:22.280
 like still trusting Christ,

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:23.420
 still praising Christ,

00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:25.520
 that's a good sign.

00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:27.480
 And we have to,

00:28:27.560 --> 00:28:27.720
 again,

00:28:27.800 --> 00:28:28.460
 just be careful

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:29.259
 about how we

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:30.480
 share the gospel

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.980
 with people.

00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:32.840
 But I really believe

00:28:32.840 --> 00:28:34.300
 this term sanctified here

00:28:34.300 --> 00:28:35.500
 means that

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:37.759
 they looked set apart

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.799
 in an outward form

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:40.920
 with God's people.

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.460
 Example,

00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:44.720
 in Old Testament Israel,

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:45.500
 the people,

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:46.900
 the nation of Israel

00:28:46.900 --> 00:28:48.319
 was sanctified.

00:28:48.460 --> 00:28:49.220
 They were set apart

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:50.240
 for God's purposes.

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:51.859
 But we know

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:52.880
 within that nation

00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:53.359
 there were still

00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:53.960
 many of them

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.819
 that didn't belong

00:28:54.819 --> 00:28:55.920
 to the true God.

00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:58.240
 Not all sons of Abraham

00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:00.079
 are true sons, right?

00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:01.680
 So there's this one

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.559
 outward form

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:03.420
 of sanctification.

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:05.000
 They were set apart

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.660
 as a people

00:29:05.660 --> 00:29:07.380
 to look different,

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:08.079
 act different,

00:29:08.539 --> 00:29:09.299
 and be different

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:09.799
 than the rest

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:10.480
 of the nations.

00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:11.799
 But even inside

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:12.359
 that nation

00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:12.880
 there were still

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:13.940
 those who didn't believe.

00:29:14.819 --> 00:29:15.500
 And I really think

00:29:15.500 --> 00:29:16.319
 that that's how

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:17.279
 he's referring to it.

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:18.619
 I'm hoping to debate

00:29:18.619 --> 00:29:19.099
 on that.

00:29:19.500 --> 00:29:21.299
 But I really think

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:21.940
 that's what he's trying

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:22.380
 to say.

00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:23.940
 That it had this

00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:24.660
 outward form

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:25.720
 of being set apart.

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:28.059
 But fifthly,

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:30.019
 verse 29,

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:30.799
 and lastly,

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:32.180
 it says,

00:29:32.180 --> 00:29:33.220
 they outraged

00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:33.820
 the Spirit

00:29:33.820 --> 00:29:34.960
 of grace,

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:37.299
 meaning the Holy Spirit,

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:38.480
 the gracious Spirit

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:39.600
 that came to them

00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:40.720
 when they were

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.519
 around the church,

00:29:41.620 --> 00:29:42.539
 around other believers,

00:29:42.660 --> 00:29:43.259
 and they heard

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:44.420
 the gospel message

00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:45.740
 telling them

00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:46.460
 to repent

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:47.940
 and believe in Jesus

00:29:47.940 --> 00:29:49.660
 and be saved.

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:51.740
 They heard that

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:53.720
 and instead of

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:55.000
 receiving that message,

00:29:55.320 --> 00:29:56.140
 they ultimately

00:29:56.140 --> 00:29:57.200
 rejected it.

00:29:57.840 --> 00:29:59.100
 Instead of falling

00:29:59.100 --> 00:30:00.100
 on their knees

00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:00.719
 and gratitude,

00:30:00.959 --> 00:30:02.240
 they took a lot

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.859
 of saliva

00:30:02.859 --> 00:30:03.719
 and spat

00:30:03.719 --> 00:30:05.599
 on the gospel terms

00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.159
 brought to them

00:30:07.159 --> 00:30:08.419
 by the Holy Spirit.

00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:11.019
 And he's not

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:12.279
 going away like this.

00:30:13.159 --> 00:30:14.359
 He's going away

00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:15.159
 outraged.

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:16.599
 How dare they?

00:30:18.199 --> 00:30:18.879
 Infuriated

00:30:18.879 --> 00:30:20.799
 that they rejected

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.919
 such a gracious

00:30:21.919 --> 00:30:22.559
 message

00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:23.579
 that he brought them.

00:30:25.059 --> 00:30:26.279
 The mercy of God

00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:28.420
 can influence

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:29.940
 unbelievers

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.980
 to a certain degree.

00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:32.599
 That's why I use

00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:32.960
 the term

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:33.960
 totally depraved

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.619
 and not utterly

00:30:34.619 --> 00:30:35.240
 depraved.

00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:36.379
 There's still

00:30:36.379 --> 00:30:37.500
 the common grace

00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:38.000
 of God

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:38.639
 that's at work

00:30:38.639 --> 00:30:39.160
 even among

00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:39.920
 unbelievers.

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.359
 So the Spirit

00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:42.079
 can have that

00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:42.799
 kind of influence

00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:43.420
 on them,

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.899
 but eventually

00:30:44.899 --> 00:30:45.799
 they begin to turn

00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:46.339
 that grace

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:47.000
 into license

00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:47.700
 and using it

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:48.359
 to justify

00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:49.220
 their love

00:30:49.220 --> 00:30:49.899
 of sinning

00:30:49.899 --> 00:30:51.220
 and eventually

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:51.879
 they throw it away

00:30:51.879 --> 00:30:52.460
 altogether.

00:30:53.639 --> 00:30:54.379
 They insulted

00:30:54.379 --> 00:30:55.019
 the Spirit

00:30:55.019 --> 00:30:56.480
 and he is furious.

00:30:58.720 --> 00:30:59.240
 So

00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:01.539
 the Spirit

00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:02.059
 will either do

00:31:02.059 --> 00:31:02.940
 one or two things.

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:06.220
 If by chance

00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:07.099
 God decides

00:31:07.099 --> 00:31:07.740
 to be gracious

00:31:07.740 --> 00:31:08.480
 towards you,

00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:10.119
 the Spirit

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:10.799
 will kick down

00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:11.240
 the door.

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:12.960
 Thankfully.

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:14.180
 For many of us

00:31:14.180 --> 00:31:14.759
 he did that.

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:16.200
 We were once

00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:16.900
 stiff-necked

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:17.500
 and stubborn

00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:18.900
 and God said

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:19.440
 enough

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:20.879
 and he invaded

00:31:20.879 --> 00:31:21.559
 our hearts

00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:23.259
 and saved us.

00:31:23.259 --> 00:31:23.299
 grace.

00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:24.879
 It's a picture

00:31:24.879 --> 00:31:25.500
 of the ultimate

00:31:25.500 --> 00:31:26.039
 grace.

00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:29.740
 The other thing

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.319
 you can do

00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:31.660
 is just leave you

00:31:31.660 --> 00:31:32.440
 to yourself

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.539
 and just go away

00:31:34.539 --> 00:31:36.099
 to which you

00:31:36.099 --> 00:31:36.879
 will be hardened

00:31:36.879 --> 00:31:38.680
 and further hardened

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:39.420
 to where you

00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:40.379
 don't care anymore.

00:31:40.879 --> 00:31:42.099
 And the only message

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:43.079
 that could have saved you

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.559
 you've just

00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:44.460
 totally abandoned.

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.279
 And that's judgment.

00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:48.799
 That's just judgment

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:49.640
 if God decides

00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:50.240
 to do that.

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.579
 And earlier

00:31:53.579 --> 00:31:54.359
 in the letter

00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:56.480
 you're still

00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:56.960
 in Hebrews

00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:57.559
 but look at

00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:58.319
 chapter 6

00:31:58.319 --> 00:31:58.700
 we already

00:31:58.700 --> 00:31:59.380
 went over this

00:31:59.380 --> 00:32:00.460
 but this is

00:32:00.460 --> 00:32:01.620
 another warning

00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:02.220
 about

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:03.880
 using similar

00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:04.359
 language

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:05.120
 chapter 6

00:32:05.120 --> 00:32:05.779
 verse 4

00:32:05.779 --> 00:32:09.920
 and the writer

00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:10.319
 of Hebrews

00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:10.819
 says

00:32:10.819 --> 00:32:12.299
 and I want you

00:32:12.299 --> 00:32:13.000
 to think about

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:13.740
 two things

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:14.359
 think about

00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:14.759
 the story

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.160
 of Judas

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.880
 and think about

00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:16.240
 Peter

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:17.359
 and the difference

00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:18.120
 between the two.

00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:19.859
 both were around

00:32:19.859 --> 00:32:20.239
 Jesus

00:32:20.239 --> 00:32:21.299
 both heard Jesus

00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:22.139
 both claimed

00:32:22.139 --> 00:32:22.779
 to be followers

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.379
 of Jesus

00:32:23.379 --> 00:32:24.719
 one of them

00:32:24.719 --> 00:32:25.419
 persevered

00:32:25.419 --> 00:32:25.799
 and the other

00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:26.379
 one didn't.

00:32:28.179 --> 00:32:28.739
 Alright

00:32:28.739 --> 00:32:29.639
 so Hebrews 6

00:32:29.639 --> 00:32:30.179
 verse 4

00:32:30.179 --> 00:32:31.659
 for it is impossible

00:32:31.659 --> 00:32:32.339
 in the case

00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:32.819
 of those

00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:33.359
 who have once

00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:34.039
 been enlightened

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.699
 who have tasted

00:32:35.699 --> 00:32:36.659
 the heavenly gift

00:32:36.659 --> 00:32:37.359
 and have shared

00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:38.319
 in the Holy Spirit

00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:39.619
 and have tasted

00:32:39.619 --> 00:32:40.179
 the goodness

00:32:40.179 --> 00:32:41.399
 of the Word of God

00:32:41.399 --> 00:32:42.719
 and the powers

00:32:42.719 --> 00:32:43.619
 of the age to come

00:32:43.619 --> 00:32:45.099
 and then have

00:32:45.099 --> 00:32:45.859
 fallen away

00:32:45.859 --> 00:32:46.779
 to restore

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:47.960
 them again

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:48.619
 to repentance

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:50.259
 since they are

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:51.759
 crucifying once again

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.700
 the Son of God

00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:53.339
 they're trampling

00:32:53.339 --> 00:32:54.680
 the Son of God

00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:56.599
 to their own harm

00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:57.539
 and holding him

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:58.660
 up to contempt

00:32:58.660 --> 00:33:00.519
 for the land

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:01.099
 has drunk

00:33:01.099 --> 00:33:01.720
 the rain

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:02.680
 that often falls

00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:03.019
 on it

00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:03.740
 and it produces

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:04.700
 a crop useful

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:05.379
 to those

00:33:05.379 --> 00:33:06.599
 whose sake

00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:07.399
 it was cultivated

00:33:07.399 --> 00:33:08.779
 receives a blessing

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:09.420
 from God

00:33:09.420 --> 00:33:11.220
 but if it bears

00:33:11.220 --> 00:33:11.799
 thorns

00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:12.559
 and thistles

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.420
 it is worthless

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:15.180
 and near to being

00:33:15.180 --> 00:33:15.680
 cursed

00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:16.380
 and his end

00:33:16.380 --> 00:33:17.240
 is to be burned

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:19.560
 alright

00:33:19.560 --> 00:33:20.519
 so look at that

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:22.600
 that language

00:33:22.600 --> 00:33:25.080
 it asks the question

00:33:25.080 --> 00:33:26.019
 like so where are you

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:26.560
 with this

00:33:26.560 --> 00:33:28.340
 have you come around

00:33:28.340 --> 00:33:28.779
 the church

00:33:28.779 --> 00:33:29.460
 and received

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:30.600
 some truthful knowledge

00:33:30.600 --> 00:33:31.060
 you learned some

00:33:31.060 --> 00:33:31.880
 cool theology

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:32.560
 that made you look

00:33:32.560 --> 00:33:33.740
 smarter than other people

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:35.380
 you gotten a scoop

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:35.880
 of Jesus

00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:37.759
 and hoping that

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:38.380
 he would just like

00:33:38.380 --> 00:33:39.080
 make your life

00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:39.700
 a little better

00:33:39.700 --> 00:33:41.880
 have you tasted

00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:43.000
 the goodness of God

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.860
 and his gifts

00:33:43.859 --> 00:33:44.979
 and instead of

00:33:44.979 --> 00:33:45.719
 swallowing them

00:33:45.719 --> 00:33:46.219
 you ultimately

00:33:46.219 --> 00:33:47.059
 spat them out

00:33:47.059 --> 00:33:48.740
 you had your fill

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.079
 of it

00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.000
 and what kind

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:51.500
 of ground

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:52.019
 are you

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:53.059
 the word of God

00:33:53.059 --> 00:33:53.599
 the knowledge

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:53.939
 of God

00:33:53.939 --> 00:33:55.000
 has fallen on you

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.339
 and are you

00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:57.519
 producing a crop

00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:57.859
 or are you

00:33:57.859 --> 00:33:58.899
 producing thorns

00:33:58.899 --> 00:34:00.319
 because one

00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:01.179
 receives a curse

00:34:01.179 --> 00:34:01.979
 and one receives

00:34:01.979 --> 00:34:02.579
 a blessing

00:34:02.579 --> 00:34:04.759
 and again

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.179
 look at the next

00:34:07.179 --> 00:34:07.559
 verse

00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:09.779
 he says

00:34:09.779 --> 00:34:10.960
 right

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:11.579
 though

00:34:11.579 --> 00:34:12.860
 we speak

00:34:12.860 --> 00:34:13.619
 in this way

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:15.059
 yet in your

00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:15.780
 case beloved

00:34:15.780 --> 00:34:17.579
 we feel sure

00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:18.760
 of better things

00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:20.880
 things that belong

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:21.860
 to salvation

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:24.019
 so he's saying

00:34:24.019 --> 00:34:24.519
 right there

00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:25.039
 what I just

00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:25.460
 mentioned

00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:25.980
 those people

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.780
 didn't belong

00:34:26.780 --> 00:34:27.400
 to the things

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:27.860
 that actually

00:34:27.860 --> 00:34:28.679
 had salvation

00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:30.280
 it wasn't real

00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:32.119
 why is there

00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:32.599
 no longer

00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:33.220
 a sacrifice

00:34:33.220 --> 00:34:35.039
 for those sins

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:36.900
 why

00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:37.539
 why is it

00:34:37.539 --> 00:34:38.039
 impossible

00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:38.599
 to bring them

00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:39.320
 back to repentance

00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:41.180
 because guys

00:34:41.180 --> 00:34:41.920
 like they have

00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:43.320
 they have

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:44.180
 heard it all

00:34:44.180 --> 00:34:45.840
 they have hardened

00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:46.260
 their hearts

00:34:46.260 --> 00:34:46.880
 towards it

00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:47.539
 they've rejected

00:34:47.539 --> 00:34:47.660
 it

00:34:47.660 --> 00:34:48.320
 they've rejected

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:49.620
 the only message

00:34:49.620 --> 00:34:50.420
 that can save them

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:51.120
 there's nothing else

00:34:51.120 --> 00:34:51.780
 there's nowhere else

00:34:51.780 --> 00:34:52.160
 to go

00:34:52.160 --> 00:34:53.620
 if they've turned

00:34:53.620 --> 00:34:54.519
 away from Christ

00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:55.340
 and blasphemed

00:34:55.340 --> 00:34:56.140
 the Holy Spirit

00:34:56.140 --> 00:34:57.700
 there's no other

00:34:57.700 --> 00:34:58.519
 shelter for them

00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:59.080
 to flee to

00:34:59.080 --> 00:35:01.000
 we've

00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.539
 it's kind of like

00:35:01.539 --> 00:35:02.180
 they're flirting

00:35:02.180 --> 00:35:03.039
 with the gospel

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:03.920
 they're flirting

00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:05.360
 with Jesus

00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:06.500
 instead of actually

00:35:06.500 --> 00:35:08.180
 coming toward him

00:35:08.179 --> 00:35:10.319
 so when you're

00:35:10.319 --> 00:35:11.099
 sharing with people

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.599
 and those of you

00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:12.000
 who are here

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.679
 they're just kind of

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:13.519
 like been sort of

00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:14.119
 floating around

00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:14.739
 for a while

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:16.059
 hearing some good

00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:16.480
 knowledge

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:17.440
 hearing about the gospel

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:18.179
 just beware

00:35:18.179 --> 00:35:18.899
 like don't harden

00:35:18.899 --> 00:35:19.419
 your heart

00:35:19.419 --> 00:35:20.659
 like come

00:35:20.659 --> 00:35:21.599
 and come to

00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:21.879
 Jesus

00:35:21.879 --> 00:35:22.779
 and come now

00:35:22.779 --> 00:35:24.559
 it's not anything

00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:25.339
 to be played

00:35:25.339 --> 00:35:26.039
 with or trifled

00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:26.359
 with

00:35:26.359 --> 00:35:28.819
 so I believe

00:35:28.819 --> 00:35:30.440
 that again

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.339
 most of you here

00:35:31.339 --> 00:35:31.940
 I could say

00:35:31.940 --> 00:35:32.819
 the same thing

00:35:32.819 --> 00:35:34.619
 that I feel sure

00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:35.539
 are better things

00:35:35.539 --> 00:35:36.239
 for most of you

00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:36.799
 the things that

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:37.720
 actually pertain

00:35:37.720 --> 00:35:39.039
 to real salvation

00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:42.840
 this is number two

00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:44.039
 second question

00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:45.480
 the rest of our

00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:46.100
 passage

00:35:46.100 --> 00:35:48.720
 number two

00:35:48.720 --> 00:35:49.640
 what awaits

00:35:49.640 --> 00:35:50.140
 those

00:35:50.140 --> 00:35:51.500
 who trample

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:52.480
 the son of God

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.400
 what awaits

00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:55.320
 those who trample

00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:56.240
 the son of God

00:35:56.240 --> 00:35:57.960
 the beginning

00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:58.920
 of verse 27

00:35:58.920 --> 00:35:59.539
 the second part

00:35:59.539 --> 00:36:00.460
 says but a fearful

00:36:00.460 --> 00:36:01.360
 expectation

00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:02.180
 of judgment

00:36:02.180 --> 00:36:03.860
 and a fury

00:36:03.860 --> 00:36:04.500
 of fire

00:36:04.500 --> 00:36:05.400
 that will consume

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:06.480
 the adversaries

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:08.320
 for we know

00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:09.280
 we know him

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:09.760
 who said

00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:10.920
 vengeance is mine

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:11.840
 I will repay

00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.340
 and again

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:14.079
 the Lord

00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:14.639
 will judge

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:15.139
 his people

00:36:15.139 --> 00:36:16.619
 it is a fearful

00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:17.539
 thing to fall

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:18.260
 into the hands

00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:19.139
 of the living God

00:36:19.139 --> 00:36:22.099
 in verse 28

00:36:22.099 --> 00:36:22.720
 it says

00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:24.200
 anyone who has

00:36:24.200 --> 00:36:24.780
 set aside

00:36:24.780 --> 00:36:25.200
 the law

00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:25.639
 of Moses

00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:26.639
 dies without mercy

00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:27.119
 in the evidence

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:27.660
 of two or three

00:36:27.660 --> 00:36:28.039
 witnesses

00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:29.880
 how much worse

00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:30.619
 punishment

00:36:30.619 --> 00:36:32.019
 do you think

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:32.619
 will be deserved

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:34.159
 by the one

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:36.159
 who does this

00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:37.139
 so in the

00:36:37.139 --> 00:36:37.880
 Mosaic law

00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:38.619
 the death penalty

00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:39.259
 was given

00:36:39.259 --> 00:36:41.279
 on the testimony

00:36:41.279 --> 00:36:42.339
 of two or three

00:36:42.339 --> 00:36:42.779
 witnesses

00:36:42.779 --> 00:36:44.639
 for idolatry

00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:45.339
 for those who

00:36:45.339 --> 00:36:46.339
 had false gods

00:36:46.339 --> 00:36:47.440
 for those who

00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:48.519
 blasphemed God

00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:50.139
 it was the death penalty

00:36:50.139 --> 00:36:50.719
 they were stoned

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:51.159
 to death

00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:52.259
 Deuteronomy 17

00:36:52.259 --> 00:36:53.819
 talks about that

00:36:53.819 --> 00:36:55.460
 and he's saying

00:36:55.460 --> 00:36:56.179
 if that was

00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:56.739
 terrible

00:36:56.739 --> 00:36:57.719
 that sounds terrible

00:36:57.719 --> 00:36:58.920
 for them to reject

00:36:58.920 --> 00:36:59.339
 this

00:36:59.339 --> 00:37:00.839
 you know

00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.160
 good at the time

00:37:02.160 --> 00:37:02.680
 but now

00:37:02.680 --> 00:37:04.380
 inferior covenant

00:37:04.380 --> 00:37:06.620
 how much worse

00:37:06.620 --> 00:37:07.240
 punishment

00:37:07.240 --> 00:37:08.059
 will you face

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:08.620
 for actually

00:37:08.620 --> 00:37:09.380
 trampling the

00:37:09.380 --> 00:37:10.039
 Son of God

00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:10.600
 underfoot

00:37:10.600 --> 00:37:11.880
 it'll be

00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:13.380
 infinitely worse

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:15.200
 much greater

00:37:15.200 --> 00:37:15.660
 judgment

00:37:15.660 --> 00:37:18.140
 we will be judged

00:37:18.140 --> 00:37:18.840
 in proportion

00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:19.559
 to the amount

00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:20.120
 of like

00:37:20.120 --> 00:37:20.640
 and the amount

00:37:20.640 --> 00:37:21.220
 of knowledge

00:37:21.220 --> 00:37:22.100
 that we've received

00:37:22.100 --> 00:37:23.019
 of the truth

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:25.240
 it's a testimony

00:37:25.240 --> 00:37:25.920
 of scripture

00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:27.720
 so

00:37:27.720 --> 00:37:29.079
 beware

00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.000
 God has bore witness

00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:32.279
 of such a sinner

00:37:32.279 --> 00:37:33.360
 treating his son

00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:34.940
 with such contempt

00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:36.679
 he sees it

00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:37.579
 he sees it in public

00:37:37.579 --> 00:37:38.639
 he sees it in private

00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:41.219
 it says

00:37:41.219 --> 00:37:43.039
 something much worse

00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:44.279
 is to await

00:37:44.279 --> 00:37:44.980
 such people

00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:46.279
 and it says

00:37:46.279 --> 00:37:46.599
 first

00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:47.219
 a fearful

00:37:47.219 --> 00:37:48.539
 a fearful judgment

00:37:48.539 --> 00:37:49.980
 a terrible judgment

00:37:49.980 --> 00:37:51.319
 from a just

00:37:51.319 --> 00:37:51.920
 righteous

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.000
 holy judge

00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:54.679
 a legal picture

00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:55.480
 that those

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:56.119
 who have rebelled

00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:56.679
 against God

00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:57.099
 and broken

00:37:57.099 --> 00:37:57.699
 his law

00:37:57.699 --> 00:37:58.839
 are going

00:37:58.839 --> 00:37:59.460
 to face

00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:00.119
 this judgment

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:01.319
 unless

00:38:01.319 --> 00:38:02.039
 they come

00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:03.059
 to Christ

00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:05.259
 and earlier

00:38:05.259 --> 00:38:05.920
 in Hebrews

00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:06.480
 it says

00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:07.179
 it is a point

00:38:07.179 --> 00:38:07.679
 for man

00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:08.579
 to die once

00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:09.860
 and then

00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:10.500
 to face

00:38:10.500 --> 00:38:11.199
 judgment

00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:12.599
 Hebrews 9

00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:13.019
 27

00:38:13.019 --> 00:38:14.659
 so

00:38:14.659 --> 00:38:15.179
 as much

00:38:15.179 --> 00:38:15.779
 as the love

00:38:15.779 --> 00:38:16.299
 of God

00:38:16.299 --> 00:38:17.099
 has propelled

00:38:17.099 --> 00:38:17.400
 him

00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:17.839
 the grace

00:38:17.839 --> 00:38:18.319
 of God

00:38:18.319 --> 00:38:19.639
 to send

00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:20.219
 Christ

00:38:20.219 --> 00:38:21.679
 as we talked

00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:22.139
 about earlier

00:38:22.139 --> 00:38:22.779
 because of his

00:38:22.779 --> 00:38:23.679
 great mercy

00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:24.219
 right

00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:25.659
 sent Christ

00:38:25.659 --> 00:38:26.159
 to die

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:26.159


00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:26.500
 on our

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:27.000
 behalf

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:28.299
 at the same

00:38:28.299 --> 00:38:28.799
 time

00:38:28.799 --> 00:38:30.699
 God has been

00:38:30.699 --> 00:38:31.420
 devoted to

00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:32.159
 destroying his

00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:32.500
 enemies

00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:34.139
 he's putting out

00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:35.839
 terms of peace

00:38:35.839 --> 00:38:36.599
 for people to come

00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:36.920
 to him

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:37.699
 through Christ

00:38:37.699 --> 00:38:39.480
 but eventually

00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:40.480
 that time

00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:40.980
 will end

00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:43.059
 and he is going

00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:43.699
 to punish

00:38:43.699 --> 00:38:44.539
 and annihilate

00:38:44.539 --> 00:38:45.299
 all sin

00:38:45.299 --> 00:38:46.079
 and wickedness

00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:46.719
 from the earth

00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:47.699
 we know

00:38:47.699 --> 00:38:48.279
 the wages

00:38:48.279 --> 00:38:49.079
 of sin

00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:49.960
 is death

00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:51.079
 we have earned

00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:51.659
 death

00:38:51.659 --> 00:38:52.259
 because of our

00:38:52.259 --> 00:38:52.519
 sin

00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:53.079
 myself

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:54.360
 in you

00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:54.819
 there's a

00:38:54.819 --> 00:38:55.319
 payday

00:38:55.319 --> 00:38:55.799
 coming

00:38:55.799 --> 00:38:57.000
 for sin

00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:57.599
 and no one

00:38:57.599 --> 00:38:58.119
 will escape

00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.400
 it

00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.079
 all those

00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:00.659
 who thought

00:39:00.659 --> 00:39:01.059
 they had

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:01.579
 the last

00:39:01.579 --> 00:39:02.119
 laugh

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:02.940
 on God

00:39:02.940 --> 00:39:05.480
 he says

00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:05.840
 vengeance

00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:06.519
 is mine

00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.039
 and I will

00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:08.539
 repay

00:39:08.539 --> 00:39:10.599
 and his wrath

00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:11.059
 is coming

00:39:11.059 --> 00:39:11.739
 unstoppable

00:39:11.739 --> 00:39:12.519
 think about

00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:13.159
 John the

00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:13.440
 Baptist

00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:15.460
 in Matthew

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:15.900
 3

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:16.679
 where he says

00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:17.440
 flee from

00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:18.039
 the wrath

00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:18.579
 to come

00:39:18.579 --> 00:39:19.940
 like flee

00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:20.360
 from it

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:20.759
 and flee

00:39:20.759 --> 00:39:21.239
 to the

00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:21.539
 Savior

00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:23.559
 there's

00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:23.860
 so many

00:39:23.860 --> 00:39:24.079
 other

00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:24.440
 passages

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:24.699
 I could

00:39:24.699 --> 00:39:24.800
 have

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:25.059
 turned

00:39:25.059 --> 00:39:25.300
 to you

00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:25.500
 but I

00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:25.860
 chose

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:26.519
 just one

00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:26.840
 and then

00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:27.119
 that's

00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:27.340
 the only

00:39:27.340 --> 00:39:27.659
 passage

00:39:27.659 --> 00:39:28.000
 I have

00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:28.219
 left

00:39:28.219 --> 00:39:28.639
 for you

00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:29.440
 but

00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:30.079
 Zephaniah

00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:34.699
 about the

00:39:34.699 --> 00:39:35.340
 judgment day

00:39:35.340 --> 00:39:35.779
 called the

 day of the

00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:36.539
 Lord

00:39:36.539 --> 00:39:39.380
 I just want

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:39.699
 you to hear

00:39:39.699 --> 00:39:40.099

00:39:46.940 --> 00:39:47.440
 the great

00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:47.980
 day of the

00:39:47.980 --> 00:39:48.300
 Lord

00:39:48.300 --> 00:39:48.960
 is near

00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:50.239
 near

00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:51.000
 and hastening

00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:51.559
 fast

00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:52.419
 the

00:39:52.419 --> 00:39:52.799
 sound

00:39:52.799 --> 00:39:53.219
 of the

00:39:53.219 --> 00:39:53.479
 day

00:39:53.479 --> 00:39:53.799
 of the

00:39:53.799 --> 00:39:54.079
 Lord

00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:54.619
 is bitter

00:39:54.619 --> 00:39:55.619
 the

00:39:55.619 --> 00:39:55.899
 mighty

00:39:55.899 --> 00:39:56.259
 man

00:39:56.259 --> 00:39:56.739
 cries

00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:57.199
 aloud

00:39:57.199 --> 00:39:57.519
 there

00:39:57.519 --> 00:39:58.479
 a day

00:39:58.479 --> 00:39:58.739
 of

00:39:58.739 --> 00:39:59.139
 wrath

00:39:59.139 --> 00:39:59.539
 is that

00:39:59.539 --> 00:39:59.799
 day

00:39:59.799 --> 00:40:00.179
 a day

00:40:00.179 --> 00:40:00.339
 of

00:40:00.339 --> 00:40:00.799
 distress

 and

00:40:01.319 --> 00:40:01.879
 anguish

00:40:01.879 --> 00:40:03.039
 a day

00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:03.779
 of ruin

00:40:03.779 --> 00:40:04.879
 and devastation

00:40:04.879 --> 00:40:06.099
 a day

00:40:06.099 --> 00:40:06.699
 of darkness

00:40:06.699 --> 00:40:07.599
 and gloom

00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:08.719
 a day

00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:09.419
 of clouds

00:40:09.419 --> 00:40:09.879
 and thick

00:40:09.879 --> 00:40:10.299
 darkness

00:40:10.299 --> 00:40:10.699
 a day

00:40:10.699 --> 00:40:11.179
 of trumpet

00:40:11.179 --> 00:40:11.759
 blasts

00:40:11.759 --> 00:40:12.179
 and battle

00:40:12.179 --> 00:40:12.539
 cry

00:40:12.539 --> 00:40:13.099
 against the

00:40:13.099 --> 00:40:13.599
 fortified

00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:14.139
 cities

00:40:14.139 --> 00:40:15.219
 against the

00:40:15.219 --> 00:40:15.699
 lofty

00:40:15.699 --> 00:40:16.479
 embattlements

00:40:16.479 --> 00:40:17.719
 and now

00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:18.319
 this is God

00:40:18.319 --> 00:40:18.739
 talking

00:40:18.739 --> 00:40:19.259
 he says

00:40:19.260 --> 00:40:19.960
 I will bring

00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:20.620
 distress

00:40:20.620 --> 00:40:21.600
 on mankind

00:40:21.600 --> 00:40:22.940
 so they

00:40:22.940 --> 00:40:23.600
 shall walk

00:40:23.600 --> 00:40:24.040
 like the

00:40:24.040 --> 00:40:24.500
 blind

00:40:24.500 --> 00:40:25.080
 because they

00:40:25.080 --> 00:40:25.720
 have sinned

00:40:25.720 --> 00:40:26.240
 against the

00:40:26.240 --> 00:40:26.540
 Lord

00:40:26.540 --> 00:40:28.240
 their blood

00:40:28.240 --> 00:40:28.840
 will be poured

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:29.820
 out like dust

00:40:29.820 --> 00:40:30.200
 and their

00:40:30.200 --> 00:40:30.780
 flesh

00:40:30.780 --> 00:40:31.560
 like dung

00:40:31.560 --> 00:40:32.820
 neither

00:40:32.820 --> 00:40:33.540
 their silver

00:40:33.540 --> 00:40:34.060
 nor their

00:40:34.060 --> 00:40:34.460
 gold

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:35.120
 will be able

00:40:35.120 --> 00:40:35.740
 to deliver

00:40:35.740 --> 00:40:36.500
 them on the

00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:37.680
 day of the

00:40:37.680 --> 00:40:38.440
 wrath of the

00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:38.740
 Lord

00:40:38.740 --> 00:40:40.020
 and the

00:40:40.020 --> 00:40:40.860
 fire of his

00:40:40.860 --> 00:40:41.400
 jealousy

00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:42.860
 all the

00:40:42.860 --> 00:40:43.120
 earth

00:40:43.120 --> 00:40:43.580
 shall be

00:40:43.580 --> 00:40:44.200
 consumed

00:40:44.200 --> 00:40:46.040
 for a

00:40:46.040 --> 00:40:46.620
 full and

00:40:46.620 --> 00:40:47.240
 sudden end

00:40:47.240 --> 00:40:47.980
 he will make

00:40:47.980 --> 00:40:48.880
 to all the

00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:49.380
 inhabitants

00:40:49.380 --> 00:40:49.940
 of the

00:40:49.940 --> 00:40:50.260
 earth

00:40:50.260 --> 00:40:53.860
 we can read

00:40:53.860 --> 00:40:54.420
 a lot more

00:40:54.420 --> 00:40:54.760
 of that

00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:55.480
 but that's

00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:55.860
 enough

00:40:55.860 --> 00:40:56.380
 you know

00:40:56.380 --> 00:40:57.440
 if that

00:40:57.440 --> 00:40:57.860
 doesn't

00:40:57.860 --> 00:40:59.719
 break you

00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:00.340
 and give you

00:41:00.340 --> 00:41:00.740
 a holy

00:41:00.740 --> 00:41:01.219
 fear

00:41:01.219 --> 00:41:01.920
 of God

00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:03.619
 jealous

00:41:03.619 --> 00:41:04.159
 in the

00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:04.519
 fire

00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:04.820
 of his

00:41:04.820 --> 00:41:05.280
 jealousy

00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:05.880
 because he

00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:06.380
 deserves

00:41:06.380 --> 00:41:07.420
 your life

00:41:07.420 --> 00:41:08.840
 he deserves

00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:09.420
 your love

00:41:09.420 --> 00:41:10.000
 and affection

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:11.519
 and he is

00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:11.900
 zealous

00:41:11.900 --> 00:41:12.500
 for it

00:41:12.500 --> 00:41:13.880
 it is a

00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:14.639
 fearful thing

00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:15.099
 to fall

00:41:15.099 --> 00:41:15.480
 into the

00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:15.940
 hands

00:41:15.940 --> 00:41:16.940
 of the

00:41:16.940 --> 00:41:17.139
 living

00:41:17.139 --> 00:41:17.579
 God

00:41:17.579 --> 00:41:17.980
 those

00:41:17.980 --> 00:41:18.139
 who

00:41:18.139 --> 00:41:18.599
 trample

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:18.820
 the

00:41:18.820 --> 00:41:18.980
 son

00:41:18.980 --> 00:41:19.119
 of

00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:19.460
 God

00:41:19.460 --> 00:41:20.559
 reckon

00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:20.860
 his

00:41:20.860 --> 00:41:21.280
 blood

00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:21.639
 to be

00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:22.280
 defiled

00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:23.679
 and have

00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:24.240
 rejected

00:41:24.240 --> 00:41:25.019
 and insulted

00:41:25.019 --> 00:41:25.720
 the spirit

00:41:25.720 --> 00:41:26.340
 of grace

00:41:26.340 --> 00:41:27.139
 it's a

00:41:27.139 --> 00:41:27.420
 fearful

00:41:27.420 --> 00:41:27.880
 thing

00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:29.300
 and you

00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:29.720
 see

00:41:29.720 --> 00:41:30.340
 in that

00:41:30.340 --> 00:41:31.079
 same

00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:31.539
 area

00:41:31.539 --> 00:41:32.860
 back in

00:41:32.860 --> 00:41:33.200
 Hebrews

00:41:33.200 --> 00:41:33.639
 that God

00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:33.940
 is a

00:41:33.940 --> 00:41:34.619
 zealous

00:41:34.619 --> 00:41:35.200
 judge

00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:35.559
 so

00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:36.320
 earthly

00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:36.720
 judges

00:41:36.720 --> 00:41:37.119
 can kind

00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:37.500
 of pass

00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:37.700
 out

00:41:37.700 --> 00:41:38.079
 sentences

00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:38.440
 almost

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:39.079
 mechanically

00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:39.940
 the law

00:41:39.940 --> 00:41:40.480
 says this

00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:40.840
 you need

00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:41.059
 to do

00:41:41.059 --> 00:41:41.420
 that

00:41:41.420 --> 00:41:42.780
 God

00:41:42.780 --> 00:41:43.320
 is a

00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:43.579
 language

00:41:43.579 --> 00:41:43.800
 here

00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:44.079
 paints

00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:44.220
 an

00:41:44.220 --> 00:41:44.840
 emotional

00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:45.260
 picture

00:41:45.260 --> 00:41:45.760
 of God's

00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:46.000
 wrath

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:46.400
 he's a

00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:46.820
 fury

00:41:46.820 --> 00:41:47.519
 of fire

00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:48.099
 literally

00:41:48.099 --> 00:41:49.139
 a zeal

00:41:49.139 --> 00:41:49.659
 of fire

00:41:49.659 --> 00:41:50.079
 or a

00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:50.420
 fiery

00:41:50.420 --> 00:41:51.180
 passion

00:41:51.180 --> 00:41:52.400
 so God

00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:52.820
 isn't just

00:41:52.820 --> 00:41:53.240
 slightly

00:41:53.240 --> 00:41:53.860
 irritated

00:41:53.860 --> 00:41:54.420
 or a little

00:41:54.420 --> 00:41:54.880
 upset

00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:55.280
 he is

00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:55.840
 zealous

00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:56.940
 about

00:41:56.940 --> 00:41:57.500
 destroying

00:41:57.500 --> 00:41:58.400
 all those

00:41:58.400 --> 00:41:58.840
 who have

00:41:58.840 --> 00:41:59.260
 rejected

00:41:59.260 --> 00:41:59.619
 him

00:41:59.619 --> 00:42:00.920
 as the

00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:01.240
 king

00:42:01.240 --> 00:42:02.059
 he is

00:42:02.059 --> 00:42:02.280
 called

00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:02.500
 the

00:42:02.500 --> 00:42:02.860
 righteous

00:42:02.860 --> 00:42:03.559
 judge

00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:04.460
 his

00:42:04.460 --> 00:42:04.860
 judgment

00:42:04.860 --> 00:42:05.280
 will be

00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:05.680
 just

00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:10.359
 and it

00:42:10.359 --> 00:42:10.779
 says

00:42:10.779 --> 00:42:11.119
 this

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:11.579
 righteous

00:42:11.579 --> 00:42:12.159
 judge's

00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:12.519
 fire

00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:13.279
 consumes

00:42:13.279 --> 00:42:13.619
 the

00:42:13.619 --> 00:42:14.419
 adversaries

00:42:14.419 --> 00:42:15.559
 swallowing

00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:16.139
 them up

00:42:16.139 --> 00:42:17.159
 in the

 you

00:45:11.639 --> 00:45:12.139
 actually

 that's

 condemnation

00:45:16.539 --> 00:45:16.920
 is

00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:17.399
 just

00:45:17.399 --> 00:45:18.559
 Romans

00:45:21.739 --> 00:45:22.099
 just

00:45:22.099 --> 00:45:23.159
 so

00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:23.299
 if

00:45:23.299 --> 00:45:23.420
 you

 and

00:45:24.739 --> 00:45:24.879
 that

00:45:24.879 --> 00:45:25.139
 really

00:45:25.139 --> 00:45:25.699
 disturbs

00:45:25.699 --> 00:45:26.000
 you

00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:27.199
 come

00:45:27.379 --> 00:45:27.759
 Christ

00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:28.200
 like

00:45:28.200 --> 00:45:28.400
 while

00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:28.580
 you

00:45:28.580 --> 00:45:28.860

00:45:28.860 --> 00:45:29.080
 like

00:45:29.080 --> 00:45:29.380
 repent

00:45:29.380 --> 00:45:29.780
 now

00:45:29.780 --> 00:45:30.760
 and

00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:30.940
 turn

00:45:30.940 --> 00:45:31.100
 to

 there

00:45:31.740 --> 00:45:31.820

00:46:19.220 --> 00:46:20.000
 that's

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:20.140
 not

00:46:20.140 --> 00:46:20.240
 going

00:46:20.240 --> 00:46:20.320
 to

00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:20.520
 happen

00:46:20.520 --> 00:46:20.700
 to

00:46:20.700 --> 00:46:20.960
 me

00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:21.700
 well

00:46:21.700 --> 00:46:23.340
 technically

00:46:23.340 --> 00:46:23.680
 it's

00:46:23.680 --> 00:46:23.880
 still

00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:24.640
 you

00:46:24.640 --> 00:46:24.860
 still

00:46:24.860 --> 00:46:25.260
 deserve

00:46:25.260 --> 00:46:25.520
 it

00:46:25.520 --> 00:46:26.880
 but

00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.200
 and

00:46:30.200 --> 00:46:30.580
 remember

00:46:30.580 --> 00:46:30.920
 that

00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:31.120
 and

00:46:31.120 --> 00:46:31.320
 see

00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:31.500
 the

00:46:31.500 --> 00:46:31.720
 blood

00:46:31.720 --> 00:46:31.880
 of

00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:32.120
 Jesus

00:46:32.120 --> 00:46:32.400
 as

00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:32.880
 precious

00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:33.920
 that

00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:34.040
 you

00:46:34.040 --> 00:46:34.220
 were

00:46:34.220 --> 00:46:34.860
 ransomed

00:46:34.860 --> 00:46:35.100
 from

00:46:35.100 --> 00:46:35.280
 your

00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:35.800
 futile

00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:36.360
 ways

00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:37.840
 not

00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:38.020
 with

00:46:38.020 --> 00:46:38.560
 perishable

00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:38.960
 things

00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:39.180
 like

00:46:39.180 --> 00:46:39.560
 silver

00:46:39.560 --> 00:46:39.780
 and

00:46:39.780 --> 00:46:40.020
 gold

00:46:40.020 --> 00:46:40.220
 but

00:46:40.220 --> 00:46:40.360
 by

00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:40.540
 the

00:46:40.540 --> 00:46:41.180
 precious

00:46:41.180 --> 00:46:41.860
 blood

00:46:41.860 --> 00:46:42.160
 of

00:46:42.160 --> 00:46:42.540
 Jesus

00:46:42.540 --> 00:46:44.040
 like

00:46:44.040 --> 00:46:44.260
 that

00:46:44.260 --> 00:46:44.380
 of

00:46:44.380 --> 00:46:44.520
 a

00:46:44.520 --> 00:46:44.820
 lamb

00:46:44.820 --> 00:46:45.100
 without

00:46:45.100 --> 00:46:45.580
 blemish

00:46:45.580 --> 00:46:45.760
 or

00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:46.180
 spot

00:46:46.180 --> 00:46:48.380
 last

00:46:48.380 --> 00:46:48.620
 minute

00:46:48.620 --> 00:46:48.780
 I

00:46:48.780 --> 00:46:49.140
 decided

00:46:49.140 --> 00:46:49.340
 to

00:46:49.340 --> 00:46:49.560
 use

00:46:49.560 --> 00:46:49.840
 this

00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:49.980
 and

00:46:49.980 --> 00:46:50.180
 I

00:46:50.180 --> 00:46:51.720
 kind

00:46:51.720 --> 00:46:51.820
 of

00:46:51.820 --> 00:46:52.200
 close

00:46:52.200 --> 00:46:52.360
 with

00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:52.740
 this

00:46:52.740 --> 00:46:54.480
 Spurgeon

00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:54.940
 talking

00:46:54.940 --> 00:46:55.160
 to

00:46:55.160 --> 00:46:55.700
 believers

00:46:55.700 --> 00:46:57.140
 he

00:46:57.140 --> 00:46:57.340
 said

00:46:57.340 --> 00:46:57.840
 Christian

00:46:57.840 --> 00:46:58.260
 what

00:46:58.260 --> 00:46:58.420
 do

00:46:58.420 --> 00:46:58.539
 you

00:46:58.539 --> 00:46:58.780
 have

00:46:58.780 --> 00:46:58.920
 to

00:46:58.920 --> 00:46:59.160
 do

00:47:00.600 --> 00:47:00.720
 it

00:47:00.720 --> 00:47:00.960
 not

00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:01.400
 cost

00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:01.579
 you

00:47:01.579 --> 00:47:01.880
 enough

00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:02.420
 already

00:47:02.420 --> 00:47:03.620
 what

 you

00:47:05.340 --> 00:47:05.740
 forgotten

00:47:05.740 --> 00:47:06.000
 the

00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:06.480
 times

00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:06.620
 of

 your

00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:07.280
 conviction

00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:08.820
 if

00:47:08.820 --> 00:47:08.980
 you

00:47:08.980 --> 00:47:09.240
 have

 not

00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:11.200
 burnt

00:47:11.200 --> 00:47:11.200


00:47:11.200 --> 00:47:11.660
 child

00:47:11.660 --> 00:47:11.880
 will

00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:12.019
 you

00:47:12.019 --> 00:47:12.300
 play

00:47:12.300 --> 00:47:12.460
 with

00:47:12.460 --> 00:47:12.600
 the

00:47:12.600 --> 00:47:12.960
 fire

00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:13.480
 again

00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:16.960
 when

00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:17.079
 you

00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:17.240
 have

00:47:17.240 --> 00:47:17.600
 already

00:47:17.600 --> 00:47:17.920
 been

00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:18.200
 ripped

00:47:18.200 --> 00:47:18.380
 to

00:47:18.380 --> 00:47:18.680
 pieces

00:47:18.680 --> 00:47:18.940
 by

00:47:18.940 --> 00:47:19.140
 the

00:47:19.140 --> 00:47:19.519
 lion

00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:19.720
 will

00:47:19.720 --> 00:47:19.880
 you

00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:20.180
 step

00:47:20.180 --> 00:47:20.340
 a

00:47:20.340 --> 00:47:20.579
 second

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:20.940
 time

00:47:20.940 --> 00:47:21.140
 into

00:47:21.140 --> 00:47:21.340
 his

00:47:21.340 --> 00:47:21.579
 den

00:47:21.579 --> 00:47:23.440
 have

00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:23.559
 you

00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:23.740
 not

00:47:23.740 --> 00:47:23.960
 had

00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:24.340
 enough

00:47:24.340 --> 00:47:24.480
 of

00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:24.600
 the

00:47:24.600 --> 00:47:24.900
 old

00:47:24.900 --> 00:47:25.380
 serpent

00:47:25.380 --> 00:47:25.940
 did he

00:47:25.940 --> 00:47:26.160
 not

00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:26.659
 poison

00:47:26.659 --> 00:47:26.980
 all

00:47:26.980 --> 00:47:27.199
 your

00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:27.559
 veins

00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:28.039
 once

00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:29.639
 we

00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:29.819
 should

00:47:29.819 --> 00:47:29.980
 be

00:47:29.980 --> 00:47:30.239
 sick

00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:30.379
 of

00:47:30.379 --> 00:47:30.539
 this

00:47:30.539 --> 00:47:30.899
 stuff

00:47:30.899 --> 00:47:32.119
 it's

00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:32.699
 foolishness

00:47:32.699 --> 00:47:33.019
 for us

00:47:33.019 --> 00:47:33.299
 to go

00:47:33.299 --> 00:47:33.599
 back

00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:33.920
 to our

00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:34.219
 former

00:47:34.219 --> 00:47:34.579
 way

00:47:34.579 --> 00:47:35.259
 and even

00:47:35.259 --> 00:47:35.899
 try to

00:47:35.899 --> 00:47:36.239
 dabble

00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:36.699
 around

00:47:36.699 --> 00:47:37.559
 with

00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:38.019
 habitual

00:47:38.019 --> 00:47:38.500
 sin

00:47:38.500 --> 00:47:39.799
 so it's

00:47:39.799 --> 00:47:40.099
 a time

00:47:40.099 --> 00:47:40.420
 for us

00:47:40.420 --> 00:47:40.920
 to confess

00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:41.319
 that there's

00:47:41.319 --> 00:47:41.559
 something

00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:42.839
 that has

00:47:42.839 --> 00:47:43.019
 been

00:47:43.019 --> 00:47:43.239
 just

00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:43.519
 eating

00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:43.920
 at you

00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:44.139
 and

00:47:44.139 --> 00:47:44.839
 calling

00:47:44.839 --> 00:47:45.000
 you

00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:45.299
 to come

00:47:45.299 --> 00:47:45.579
 back

00:47:45.579 --> 00:47:45.819
 to your

00:47:45.819 --> 00:47:46.079
 former

00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:46.319
 way

00:47:46.319 --> 00:47:46.480
 of

00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:46.739
 life

00:47:46.739 --> 00:47:46.920
 like

00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:47.079
 get

00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:47.199
 it

00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:47.480
 out

00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:47.719
 in

00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:47.819
 the

00:47:47.819 --> 00:47:48.139
 open

00:47:48.139 --> 00:47:49.379
 confess

00:47:49.379 --> 00:47:49.619
 it

00:47:49.619 --> 00:47:49.879
 to a

00:47:49.879 --> 00:47:50.119
 brother

00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:50.659
 or sister

00:47:50.659 --> 00:47:51.079
 and then

00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:51.539
 go before

00:47:51.539 --> 00:47:51.779
 the

00:47:51.779 --> 00:47:52.000
 Lord

00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:52.319
 and ask

00:47:52.319 --> 00:47:52.440
 him

00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:56.699
 in

00:47:56.699 --> 00:47:56.980
 Christ

00:47:56.980 --> 00:47:57.199
 you've

00:47:57.199 --> 00:47:57.319
 been

00:47:57.319 --> 00:47:57.519
 given

00:47:57.519 --> 00:47:57.739
 the

00:47:57.739 --> 00:47:58.059
 spirit

00:47:58.059 --> 00:47:58.279
 of

00:48:04.659 --> 00:48:04.839
 that

00:48:04.839 --> 00:48:05.059
 sin

00:48:05.059 --> 00:48:05.179
 out

00:48:05.179 --> 00:48:05.279
 of

 your

00:48:05.379 --> 00:48:05.719
 life

00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:08.359
 so

00:48:08.359 --> 00:48:08.899
 beware

00:48:08.899 --> 00:48:09.960
 let's

00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:10.179
 not

00:48:10.179 --> 00:48:10.639
 trample

00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:10.879
 the

00:48:10.879 --> 00:48:11.059
 son

00:48:11.059 --> 00:48:11.199
 of

00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:11.359
 God

00:48:11.359 --> 00:48:11.579
 under

00:48:11.579 --> 00:48:11.920
 foot

00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:12.539
 let's

00:48:12.539 --> 00:48:13.079
 worship

00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:13.379
 him

00:48:13.379 --> 00:48:13.739
 instead

00:48:13.739 --> 00:48:16.179
 so

00:48:16.179 --> 00:48:18.719
 let's

00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:18.879
 pray

00:48:18.879 --> 00:48:19.219
 together
