Proverbs 17 tells us very clearly that he who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the just both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord

0:00

today with Joseph Prince you can't

0:02

justify yourself the only way is to say

0:05

I'm a sinner then God says no problem my

0:08

son is a savior of sinners

0:12

let's go right into the word of God I

0:14

want to tell you something about this

0:16

wonderful Bible that I hold in my hand

0:19

remember that this is the book you can

0:22

call it the manufacturer's handbook

0:25

all the answers in life is in this book

0:28

and everything that's preached must be

0:30

in line with this book amen it is God

0:33

briefed

0:35

all scripture is inspired of God in your

0:39

King James literally in the Greek in

0:41

spite of God is one word

0:43

is God brief

0:45

and God breathe into man and Man became

0:47

a living soul and there is a an amazing

0:50

uh effect

0:52

of reading the Bible that is this

0:55

mentioned in proverbs 4 it says that my

0:58

son attend to my words incline your ear

1:01

and to my sayings

1:02

keep them in the midst of your heart for

1:05

they are life to those that find them

1:08

and health stay health

1:10

to all their flesh

1:13

Health to all their flesh

1:16

I remember the first time as a young man

1:18

reading the Bible uh already coming in

1:20

touch with the Bible it was a new

1:22

testament someone gave me a new

1:23

testament and as I read it I look at the

1:25

stories of Jesus and the Very Things

1:27

That No One taught me no one taught me I

1:29

was a young boy of about maybe seven

1:32

years old six seven years old but when I

1:34

read the New Testament and it was the

1:35

gospels I remember telling the gospels

1:37

there were no pictures I used to read

1:40

comics in those days

1:41

there's nothing in the natural to excite

1:43

me but when I read about Jesus somehow I

1:46

saw a person who is not religious and

1:49

yet so attractive someone who uh you

1:52

know he came alive through the pages

1:54

just look at him

1:56

touching the leper

1:58

unstopping deaf years raising the Dead

2:01

the miracles of Jesus I saw Beauty in

2:04

Simplicity because all the the people

2:06

then were simple people peasant folks

2:09

Israel was the backdrop and I guess

2:12

somehow it was the Holy Spirit teaching

2:14

me

2:16

all right to love the Bible

2:18

and I pray that that you will cherish

2:20

this Bible amen I have a Bible that I I

2:24

want to show you just a little bit and

2:26

some of the things I'm going to share

2:27

today is from my personal time with the

2:29

Lord so just excite you okay to uh to to

2:33

do something like this first of all

2:34

there is a preaching Bible that I use

2:36

which is always this one okay and uh

2:38

always find something you can read not

2:40

Strain To Read

2:42

okay I know that many of you your Bible

2:44

is your your iPhone or your Android or

2:48

something like that but I still feel the

2:49

old feel is still good you know

2:52

um just that when I I have my own iPhone

2:56

um Bible app and all that it's just that

2:58

when I read

2:59

chapter here I can sometimes my eyes

3:01

were falling a verse here is a verse

3:03

that I need to see first of all if you

3:05

can your own personal Bible study uh I

3:07

recommend uh White margin Bible a white

3:10

margin Bible is like this Bible this is

3:12

my Bible

3:13

okay I do my studies from you from the

3:16

Old Testament I mean the old King James

3:18

Rather and this is the Old Testament so

3:20

the notes on the side is all my notes I

3:22

didn't copy from a commentary I didn't

3:24

copy anything as I read verse by verse I

3:26

ask the Lord to speak to me okay and

3:28

then when he speaks to me something it's

3:30

very unique I'll write it down on the

3:31

site which many a times later on become

3:33

a sermon

3:35

all right in fact you're going to hear

3:36

this sermon in a while's Time all right

3:38

so I I wrote all this a closer look okay

3:42

all right don't don't show them

3:44

everything now okay uh you get to see

3:46

all this later all right look up here

3:48

you get your own white margin Bible you

3:51

can write your own commentaries your own

3:52

notes because it becomes personal to you

3:54

and many times after that years to come

3:57

or even months to come you forgot what

3:59

you wrote what God gave you and during

4:01

your time of try you go back and you

4:03

read your own notes nothing like your

4:04

own notes that speaks in a special way

4:06

some of the commentaries they are biased

4:08

towards Miracles they are biased towards

4:10

healing they will say healing is past

4:11

these are modernists for example in

4:13

their thinking when it comes to these

4:15

kind of things so they don't put the

4:17

part but because you are you are

4:18

unbiased a man you've been taught well

4:20

you're able to see Revelations where

4:22

some of these people their own

4:23

biasedness will obstruct that okay so it

4:26

becomes your own Bible you understand

4:27

all right become very precious to you

4:29

but becomes yours the emails wrote for

4:32

example many years ago every Revelation

4:33

there was from my white margin Bible in

4:36

my time with the Lord okay I'm not

4:38

saying you cannot spend time getting

4:39

your Revelation from commentaries but

4:42

they had okay this is your opportunity

4:44

and your God will reveal things to you

4:46

amen another thing to remember is this

4:48

that in the Bible we have all the New

4:52

Testament there are a number of

4:53

covenants in the Bible but basically all

4:56

Covenant New Covenant law Grace that's

4:59

basically what we need to know amen of

5:01

course the other covenants David

5:03

Covenant noahi Covenant but what we need

5:05

to know is just all Covenant which is

5:07

law New Covenant which is Grace now when

5:09

I say oh covenants law I don't mean all

5:10

the way from Genesis the law started 450

5:13

years after after the time of Abraham so

5:16

but then it's still generally speaking

5:18

all right the Old Testament uh people

5:21

under the law and New Testament is Grace

5:23

and when I say New Testament his grace

5:25

is not Matthew 1. all right Matthew 1 is

5:28

still appear under the law Christ was

5:30

born but when the church on the day of

5:32

Pentecost came into being that's the

5:33

fullness of Grace spirit

5:35

amen but nonetheless it's important for

5:37

you to know do you feel stuck in a cycle

5:39

of defeat have you tried countless ways

5:42

to overcome stress and fear in your life

5:44

but still feel overwhelmed my friend God

5:47

wants to bring you to a place of Victory

5:49

this month for your gift of any amount

5:52

we're giving you Joseph's two sermon

5:54

series condemnation kills but the spirit

5:57

gives life let's get to the root of

5:59

defeat in your life in breakout of this

6:01

cycle for good your gift goes directly

6:04

to reaching even more people who need to

6:06

hear the gospel of grace offer available

6:08

to US and Canada residents only

6:11

[Music]

6:12

now in the old Covenant I like to say

6:14

like this in the old the new is hidden

6:18

in the new the all is open

6:23

okay

6:24

I can say in the all the new is

6:26

concealed in the new the all is review

6:30

for example Jesus stole a Nicodemus

6:33

in the old Covenant you'll find types

6:36

Shadows figures amen many of you when

6:40

you are young you love to spot the

6:43

hidden image or hidden items you know

6:46

you like to play that I know Justin

6:48

likes to play that all right look for

6:50

the hidden items now God knows our

6:53

nature the Bible says it's the glory of

6:55

God to conceal a matter it is the Glory

6:57

of Kings

6:59

to search it up amen so that excites us

7:02

because the Bible is like that you find

7:04

the code the key you can unlock the code

7:07

and the key is Jesus

7:09

for example John 3 Jesus was speaking to

7:12

the Pharisee his name was Nicodemus he

7:14

was hungry for the Lord he came to Jesus

7:16

by night he was ashamed to come in the

7:18

daytime last his colleagues see him so

7:20

he come he came to Jesus by night and he

7:22

says uh Lord you know we know that

7:25

you're a teacher come from God no one

7:26

can do these Miracles that you do in

7:27

Jesus you must be born again then he

7:29

started you know uh remonstrating the

7:32

Lord about how can a man be born and

7:33

Jesus says you're a master of Israel

7:36

either not know these things then Jesus

7:38

says even by the way it was the

7:40

conversation that Jesus says for God so

7:41

loved the world that he gave his only

7:43

begotten son that whoever believes in

7:46

him should not perish but have

7:47

everlasting life and that came from the

7:49

lips of Our Lord amen

7:51

and Nicodemus was privileged to hear

7:53

that then he said this even as Moses

7:55

lifted up the serpent in the wilderness

7:59

so must the son of man be lifted up so

8:02

in the Old Testament we have the story

8:03

of uh the people of Israel they were

8:06

murmuring and complaining and then

8:08

serpents came and bit them you see all

8:10

the while the serpents were there in the

8:12

desert in the desert there are many many

8:14

serpents right

8:16

just like in Arizona and all that there

8:18

are rattlesnakes the serpents were

8:20

always there but it never bit them until

8:22

they start complaining okay in other

8:24

words they broke down the H they broke

8:26

down the protection and the snakes bit

8:28

them by the way I found out that the

8:30

Hebrew word for complain is the word

8:32

spend the night

8:35

in Hebrew in other words if you complain

8:38

spend the night another night

8:41

in it in the plane you complain you stay

8:44

in the plane

8:45

you stay playing

8:47

you praise God you praise you got to

8:49

raise amen all right so if you want to

8:52

get out of it don't complain

8:53

singaporeans are famous for complain

8:56

so complaining is a guarantee you'll

8:58

stay the same situation and have plenty

9:01

of it so they were complaining and broke

9:03

down the Hedge and the snakes came in

9:05

bit them and then God told Moses make a

9:08

bronze serpent put it on a pole so the

9:10

pole he lifted up you know to have a

9:11

bronze serpent you got to have a cross

9:13

right

9:14

for it to blend around okay so he lifted

9:16

up the cross and the bronze serpent on

9:18

it and the Bible says that whosoever

9:20

looketh liveth doesn't matter how bad

9:23

they were bit by the serpent doesn't

9:25

matter at what stage they were bit uh

9:28

bitten all right whether it's the first

9:29

day second stage whoever looketh will

9:31

heal whoever live all right straight

9:35

eyes cross eyes blue eyes brown eyes at

9:39

one eye as long as they look those who

9:42

did not look those who look at their

9:44

wounds and say how terrible it is look

9:45

it's getting swollen they died those who

9:49

look at their symptoms die those who

9:51

look away from their symptoms to the

9:54

bronze serpent on the cross lived the

9:57

easiest thing for people to do is to

9:58

look right look

10:01

so you're looking at me right it's the

10:03

easiest thing to do to look so the Lord

10:05

just says look look to the bronze

10:08

serpent on the cross so Jesus told

10:10

Nicodemus that was the Old Testament

10:11

happening so Jesus said to Nicodemus all

10:14

right even if Moses lifted up the

10:15

serpent in the wilderness so the son of

10:18

man must be lifted up so Jesus is that

10:21

bronze serpent now you know some people

10:24

would love to put a bronze Lamb on the

10:27

cross but it wasn't a bronze lamb it was

10:29

a bronze snake why why is Jesus typified

10:32

as a bronze snake because God wants to

10:33

know that at the cross Jesus became what

10:36

you were

10:37

that you might become what he is amen

10:40

second Corinthians 5 21 tells us God

10:42

made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin for

10:45

us that we might become the

10:47

righteousness of God in him amen so

10:50

we're going to see our disease on his

10:53

body

10:53

definitely your disease loses power amen

10:57

and it will die amen it cannot be in two

10:59

places at one time the judicial justice

11:01

system of God says that the law the law

11:03

of Double Jeopardy says that you cannot

11:05

try the same crime twice if and all

11:08

diseases is a result of sin doesn't mean

11:11

your sin directly but it all comes back

11:13

from Adam's sin okay amen when there was

11:15

no sin there was no disease so once you

11:18

see us your sin judge the disease judge

11:21

whatever this is in your body you're not

11:23

to look at it you're not to be conscious

11:26

of it just lift it across and keep on

11:28

thanking the Lord that's what communion

11:29

does for us remember the Lord's death

11:31

can I have a good amen people amen but

11:34

remember this that that you have been

11:35

made the righteousness of God in him

11:37

now there are those who who oppose what

11:40

I teach and they say that we are giving

11:41

people license to sin we're telling

11:43

people they are righteous you know and

11:45

and it's almost like a call that that

11:48

every church service has got to be

11:50

helping people to become more sin

11:52

conscious that is making them more holy

11:55

now I I cannot understand this reasoning

11:57

because this is not uh a new testament

12:00

reasoning this is not the Primitive

12:02

Christianity that the Apostle Paul

12:04

writes about that the early Believers

12:06

lived in okay they had a revelation that

12:09

once they were Sinners you know what you

12:10

know what Peter did when he stood up to

12:12

preach to the people

12:13

in the book of Acts he says you it's all

12:16

the people of Israel you denied the Holy

12:18

One he told them he told them to their

12:19

faces you denied the Holy One actually

12:22

not too long ago he denied the Holy One

12:25

right but he was so free of sin

12:27

Consciousness he could tell them you

12:29

denied the Holy One amen and they

12:31

repented

12:32

you know and that was Peter the one that

12:35

denied Jesus

12:36

so there was they were so free from sin

12:38

Consciousness that that uh they could

12:42

actually be free to preach the good news

12:44

and the good news that God made Jesus

12:46

who knew no sin so how did how did Jesus

12:48

who didn't commit sin become sin he

12:51

received our sin how did you and I who

12:54

commit no righteousness become righteous

12:56

we receive his righteousness when Jesus

12:59

received our sin God judge him God

13:01

punished him when we receive Jesus

13:04

righteous Jesus is our righteousness

13:06

God blesses us God favors us can I have

13:09

a good amen Jesus didn't deserve to

13:11

become sin I you and I don't deserve to

13:13

be righteous but he became sin and we

13:16

became righteous so Proverbs 17 tells us

13:18

very clearly that he who justifies the

13:20

wicked and he who condemns the just both

13:24

of them alike are an Abomination to the

13:26

Lord so

13:28

remember this that

13:31

anyone that condemns the righteous

13:35

is an Abomination the Bible says

13:37

Abomination is a stronger word than sin

13:41

is the worst type of sin there is it's

13:43

an Abomination now what about when you

13:45

condemn yourself have you been made the

13:47

righteousness of God in Christ

13:49

well when you condemn yourself you're

13:51

condemning the righteous

13:53

it's an Abomination that's why things

13:55

don't work when you are in condemnation

13:57

When you pray things the oppressed are

13:59

not heard it seems like there's a short

14:01

circuit and people don't understand it

14:03

doesn't mean that you are bad you are

14:04

you are you are you are uh you have a

14:07

hidden motive and you you are you are

14:09

indulging in fleshly last or whatever

14:11

right it's just that you are not owning

14:14

up to what Christ has made you

14:16

there has been a change and you are

14:17

saying there's no change you are trying

14:19

you you are you are saying that I'm a

14:21

sinner all right when God says you are

14:23

be made righteous now once upon a time

14:25

you were a sinner so the first one says

14:28

if you justify yourself once upon a time

14:30

you are wicked all of us through and

14:32

true you know we we point our fingers to

14:34

the ones with overt sins like The

14:35

Prostitute you know we look at them we

14:37

despise them but many of us you know we

14:39

we may be indulging in pornography in

14:42

our heads you know we might be entering

14:44

last in our heart but no one sees it all

14:45

right to God they are the one in the

14:47

same sin all right just that some people

14:49

know how to cover it some don't so we

14:51

are all Wicked we are all sinners amen

14:53

so when we were Sinners and we justify

14:55

ourselves we always have justification

14:56

but I did this I did this good thing I

14:59

did that good thing well you know what

15:00

you're still justifying the wicked you

15:02

can't justify yourself the only way is

15:04

to say I'm a sinner then God says no

15:07

problem my son is a savior of sinners

15:11

he comes and he saves you right amen if

15:15

you say you're righteous you say I'm not

15:16

for you I came to call sinners right

15:19

remember that so now that you are safe

15:21

okay if you condemn no no you're safe

15:24

you're no more a sinner but if you

15:25

condemn yourself you are doing exactly

15:27

what you did last night all right and

15:30

this is hypocrisy but the devil wants to

15:32

persuade you to to say if you do what

15:34

the word of God tells you that you are

15:36

the righteousness of God in Christ

15:37

you're actually a hypocrite because you

15:40

know in your feelings you don't feel

15:41

righteous right and you experience you

15:43

know you're not righteous in fact last

15:45

night you did this all right this

15:47

morning you had these thoughts in your

15:48

mind you're not righteous you know that

15:50

and that's why this righteousness is by

15:52

faith the Bible says because no one sees

15:55

as accurately as God does and God sees

15:58

you perfectly and if God pronounced you

16:00

righteous who can say otherwise

16:04

so the problem is that we are condemning

16:06

ourselves and things don't work when you

16:08

condemn yourself because it's an

16:09

Abomination amen likewise how about

16:12

others are you condemning other

16:13

Christians but Pastor Prince he did this

16:15

he did this yes I know he did but

16:18

remember this this pronouncement of

16:19

righteousness doesn't mean it's got

16:21

nothing it's got nothing to do your

16:22

actions it's independent of your works

16:25

good or bad it's all based on the work

16:28

of Jesus can I have a good amen so it's

16:30

the same when you condemn another

16:31

brother another sister is an Abomination

16:34

to the Lord amen

16:36

are you with me so far that's been a

16:38

change people and this is true

16:40

Christianity

16:41

um in the book of Hebrews chapter 10 the

16:43

Bible says that for the law having a

16:45

shadow of good things to come and not

16:47

the very image of the things can never

16:49

with the same sacrifices which they

16:51

offer continually year by year which is

16:53

on Yom Kippur all right the Jewish

16:55

people back then and even today they

16:57

celebrate but today they can't celebrate

16:58

properly because they don't have the

17:00

temple they don't have animal sacrifices

17:02

but every year during the time of Moses

17:04

all right uh they would uh offer a

17:07

bullock all right uh on the day of Yom

17:10

Kippur which is a day of atonement every

17:13

year and it covers their sin it covers

17:15

their sin every year annually until the

17:18

day comes that Jesus will come and John

17:20

the Baptist says Behold the Lamb of God

17:22

who takes away not cover takes away the

17:24

sin of the world Amen but until then the

17:27

blood of bulls and goats is an inferior

17:29

blood but it only covers covers covers

17:32

like a Visa card it's not real payment

17:34

but it it is considered as payment for

17:37

the moment until the real payment is

17:38

made so Jesus came and he's the real

17:40

payment can I have a good amen but every

17:42

year now he's telling you this

17:44

now those sacrifices they offer cannot

17:48

make those who approach perfect and

17:50

perfect here has got to be a conscience

17:51

not your behavior not your conduct not

17:54

your actions the previous chapter

17:56

chapter 9 talks about uh perfect

17:58

pertaining to the conscience let me

18:00

explain

18:01

let's say I I have borrowed money all

18:04

right from from Pastor Gabriel who made

18:06

the announcement just now and I borrowed

18:08

from him let's say ten thousand dollars

18:10

and I promised him I'll pay him by first

18:12

of April 1st of April came and went I

18:15

could not pay him so every time I see

18:16

him okay not because I hate him not

18:18

because I whatever but it starts with I

18:20

I want to avoid him why because I have

18:23

debt on my conscience the more I see him

18:25

the more I am conscious of the debt

18:27

that's a story of humanity they want to

18:30

put God out of their minds because

18:31

conscience cannot lie conscience deep

18:33

down in you is independent you try to

18:35

drown it with your your your drink your

18:37

alcohol and and drugs and all that is

18:40

still there wherever you go your

18:42

conscience goes amen your conscience is

18:44

the part when Adam took the three of the

18:46

fruit of the tree of knowledge of good

18:47

and evil men had a conscience amen and

18:50

and and you can't run away from a

18:51

conscience you can try to drown it data

18:54

knit is still there okay it might be

18:56

weight but the voice is still there and

18:58

it tells you what is right it tells you

18:59

what is wrong amen so uh men try to

19:03

avoid God because they know they have

19:04

debt on their conscience but what if I

19:06

tell you that someone came to me all

19:08

right and told me that they have paid my

19:10

debt all right instead of ten thousand

19:12

dollars which I owed Pastor Gabriel

19:14

someone came and paid one million to

19:16

Pastor Gabriel all right for my debt now

19:19

Pastor Gabriel has become a Gainer

19:21

because of me so next time when I see

19:23

him will I have debt on my conscience no

19:25

way I'll say hey come on man give me a

19:28

treat right I'm not afraid to approach

19:30

him anymore so likewise Jesus is an

19:32

overpayment because of the value of that

19:34

one man you know he's an overpayment

19:37

he's like a one million dollar uh a

19:39

payment for a ten thousand dollar debt

19:40

amen that's why the Bible says we have

19:42

much more much more in our our Christian

19:45

life now because of what Jesus did

19:47

praise God so we should by all depends

19:50

on the messenger who came and tell me

19:51

you know how how clearly how how uh uh

19:55

uh uh

19:57

how completely he shares the message

20:00

it's vital he comes and say well

20:03

somebody paid your debt like some money

20:05

like they get some money uh I think you

20:07

owed to pass the table or something

20:08

right uh and and someone paid something

20:10

and unfortunately that's the message

20:12

that a lot of people hear from preachers

20:14

uh we are forgiven yet we're not

20:16

forgiven but we are forgiven you'll make

20:18

it but you gotta be careful

20:20

you know

20:22

you know they kind of it's not clear

20:24

it's not a a loud Clarion call of good

20:27

news preaching the Good News the good

20:28

news is that your sins are forgiven amen

20:32

because of that one man not because

20:33

you're good or bad or ugly amen

20:36

don't look around I'm just happening to

20:39

you know to say that kind of thing

20:40

because it it is a a western Trinity

20:43

last time the Good the Bad and the Ugly

20:45

amen

20:47

Okay so

20:48

in any case

20:50

God wants you to know that he's he's got

20:52

nothing against you come home amen the

20:55

son paid for everything can I have a

20:57

good amen people

20:59

now that you are mid righteous because

21:00

of what Jesus did

21:02

not because of who you are all right

21:04

when you were a sinner nothing good you

21:07

do can make you a good man

21:09

because when you pile up your your

21:12

Badness outweighs your goodness you're

21:14

still because the factory is wrong when

21:16

you're born again you are the

21:18

righteousness of God in Christ you might

21:20

do wrong it doesn't Define you

21:22

but it doesn't Define you you are still

21:25

the righteousness of God in Christ

21:26

amen amen a butterfly once he was a

21:31

caterpillar then he got born again okay

21:33

like a picture born now he's a butterfly

21:36

sometimes a butterfly may fall among

21:38

the rubbish hip he does not become

21:41

it does not transform back into a

21:44

caterpillar because he fell among Rabbi

21:46

ship he's still a butterfly

21:49

that fell among rubbishop

21:51

you understand okay a gold bar the value

21:54

of gold by the go by the gold bar right

21:56

but if it is thrown among the rubbish

21:58

can and all that and it's defiled and

22:01

all that it's still a gold bar the value

22:02

is still there you understand that's how

22:03

God sees you

22:05

and when you sin all right now I'm not

22:07

encouraging sin of course all right but

22:09

I'm telling that you must understand

22:10

it's independent of your actions once

22:12

you know you are the righteousness of

22:13

God in Christ and you declare it you see

22:16

Miracles happening in your life I've got

22:18

testimonies of testimonies that you can

22:19

read all about it in my books as well as

22:21

also on josephprince.com you can go to

22:23

the website and look at all the

22:25

testimony of the letters of people who

22:27

are in bondage the other day I was

22:29

reading about a guy who was hooked on

22:31

drugs in America and uh and all kinds of

22:34

vices they share the two or three vices

22:36

they was in and he says that there's no

22:38

way he tried his best to stop it he

22:40

cannot and then he got hold of my

22:41

teachings and he started declaring after

22:43

he's safe I am the righteousness of God

22:45

in Christ notice that all right the

22:47

confession is in line with what God has

22:49

made him amen he's going to confess

22:50

things at first it became worse but then

22:52

all of a sudden one day he said his drug

22:54

Supply stop

22:55

and only that he woke up one day and

22:57

realized hey there's no withdrawal God

23:01

had delivered him he didn't even know

23:02

about it amen and he says that right now

23:05

he's sharing the good news with as many

23:06

people as possible so we are seeing a

23:09

manner writing in saying that while they

23:11

are watching pornography they're

23:12

confessing I am the righteousness of God

23:13

in Christ and guess what many of them

23:16

had got delivered from pornography and

23:18

and pastors and leaders are trying to

23:20

find a way to help people out of this

23:23

addiction out of this bondage and many

23:25

men are in this bondage and it is a

23:27

bondage don't don't say I can stop any

23:29

time okay people smoke for example you

23:31

can say I can stop anytime but they

23:32

can't and the best way out of it the

23:35

only way out of it is to acknowledge you

23:36

can but God can

23:39

amen and you confess I'm the

23:41

righteousness of God in Christ where the

23:42

devil wants you convinced that you are

23:43

dirty you are filthy all right and the

23:46

fact that you're doing this now you are

23:47

filthy you are dirty and the more you

23:49

confess that the more you see yourself

23:50

as that the more you're in this

23:51

abomination of condemning yourself and

23:53

all that you'll never get out of

23:55

pornography I'm showing you the way out

23:58

and there are those who accuse me of

23:59

saying I'm giving people license to sin

24:01

have you noticed that people are sinning

24:02

without license

24:04

sin

24:08

all right we need license to buy a car

24:10

we need license okay to do many things

24:13

Even in our our country but there's one

24:15

thing we don't need licensed for

24:17

to sin people do it all the time okay

24:20

I'll tell you something that comes to

24:21

close the license of sin First

24:23

Corinthians 15 56 the strength the

24:26

strength of sin

24:28

is the law

24:30

well you bring people under the law the

24:32

strength of sin is going to work

24:34

all right this whole thing tells us that

24:36

the gospel of grace is amazing amen and

24:39

there's been a change people

24:41

I said there's been a change

24:44

the Bible tells us look at this all

24:47

right let's finish this but then will

24:48

they not have ceased to be offered Those

24:50

Old Testament sacrifices for the

24:51

worshipers once purified the word once

24:54

in the great is hapaks which is once and

24:57

for all the Believers the worshipers

25:00

once and for all purified would have had

25:04

no more consciousness of sins this is

25:08

true Christianity this is the organic

25:11

extra virgin primitive Christianity in

25:14

the book of Acts amen this is what they

25:17

believe they you don't find them always

25:19

seem conscious amen praise God like I

25:22

said just now even Peter

25:24

accused the people of Israel denying the

25:27

Lord amen and he was so free of sin

25:29

consciousness

25:31

because when you are still conscious you

25:33

are negating what Jesus did you are

25:35

saying you didn't do a good job I don't

25:36

believe you did it I need to do it

25:38

myself amen because I'm still conscious

25:40

like for example someone paid the

25:42

million dollars to uh uh Pastor Gabriel

25:44

but somehow you know the news didn't

25:47

travel to me it is still paid

25:49

but the news has not been communicated

25:51

to me when I see him I'll still have

25:53

debt on my conscience

25:55

let me understand that and unfortunately

25:57

that's where Christendom is a lot of

26:00

them think that they still have this

26:02

payment and they pay as you go kind of

26:04

thing you pay as you go all right your

26:06

past tense are forgiven but from now on

26:07

you pay as you go no my friend Jesus

26:10

paid for all our sins

26:11

amen and that doesn't give you license

26:13

to sin in fact whoever knows they are

26:15

forgiven much will love him much and all

26:17

the people said

26:20
