  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Clearly explained.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Tuit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hi there, and welcome back at a new episode of One Gospel.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_01: I am your host, Johan Tut, and as always, I am excited to share the Word of God with you.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: I've been sharing on this series Hard Matters, and man, it really has been a blessing already.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_01: I've been covering the genealogy of Christ, how he came to pass, how he came to be in existence in the fullness of time, and how God worked based on his grace, goodness, and mercy through all those people that were broken, and all those people that had sin nature, you know, just like all of us, we all were far off and without God and hope in this world.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: And so how he worked through them, and then Jesus came to pass.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: And then when you look back at where he comes from, which is his genealogy, back to you know, Abraham, you know, if you look there, because it was not born from Adam, but from Abraham's uh seed, you know, that came forth, you know, the redemption plan came to pass through Abraham and the son of the promise, you know, and then it just continued, and then finally Jesus comes to pass, and then he says, you know, I came from this broken lineage, you know, but then I came to restore everything and everyone back unto the Father in the fullness of the time.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: That was what is in heaven and that what is what is on earth.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna bring it all back together in me through my sacrifice, my death, and my resurrection.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_01: By my blood that I spoil for each and every one of you.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: And so, with my blood, I'm I bought you out of every tribe, tongue, and nation, and then I made you a king and a priest because I am the king of kings, and I made you a new creation, and I completed you completely in myself through grace by faith.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and then he just restored everything and made us royalties within him.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, and I've been sharing on that, that is always has been the heart of the gospel that God is a good God, that God is a God of love, and that God is a God of restoration.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: And so he wants to bring us back, you know, into this uh communion, this oneness, this unity, relationship, intimacy with God the Father.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: And he does that through his son Jesus.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: And so I have this book, I mentioned it already a few times, but I just want to remind you that this book is really going well with the teachings that I'm giving.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: It's the God of Restoration.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: You can get your copy and uh, you know, um, in this link here.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but um it really shows the heart of the Father from the beginning of creation until you know the day that he comes to pick us up, amen.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: And so I really want to encourage you to get that.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: Father God, thank you for this teaching and thank you for who you are, and thank you that you bring us the things in remembrance that Jesus has taught us through his word, so that we can bless those who hear.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: I give you all the praise in Jesus' name.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: And so, in the previous episode, I've been sharing on a different aspect of the heart of the gospel, and I've been sharing on how you know God expects from us now that we belong to this gospel, now we belong to the kingdom of God, now that we are heirs of the kingdom of God, that we are, you know, his children, he expects from us that we should walk as he walks and talk as he talks, and you know, do what he did, that we are we could be like, that we would be like him here in this life, and God is a God of love.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: And so I showed through a lot of Bible verses and scripture how Jesus constantly was moved with compassion, how he was weeping, how he felt the need and the hunger and the pain of people, how he didn't want to send them away empty-handed, how he always wanted to meet their needs.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: He saw them, he was involved with them, he was connected with them, and he had compassion on them, he loved them.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, Jesus says something very interesting here in Ephesians 2.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Paul writes it, but he's inspired by the Holy Spirit, amen.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: So, and Jesus is the word, but here it says in Ephesians 5, verse 1, he says, Therefore, be imitators of God as their children, and walk in love as Christ also has loved us and given himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: And I can hang around here also, but listen.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: He says, Therefore, because God has forgiven you, you know, because you have become a child of the living God, because you are saved by grace, because you became a new creation, because he has been so good to you and so gracious to you, he has endured you with grace, he has highly favored you, he has accepted you unto himself through his sacrifice, he has washed you in his blood and made you righteous before God as though you had never sinned.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: Therefore, be imitators of God as their children, and in the Amplified it says, copy your father as beloved children, copy their father, imitate, copy him, be a copy of God as their children and walk in love.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: Because Christ also loved us, and it says, as Christ also has loved us and given himself up for us, so we need to walk in love.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: This this is unlimited love, this is agape, unconditional God's kind of love.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: The same way as Christ loved us and given himself us for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God, a sweet smelling fragrance, aroma.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_01: We should walk in that same kind of love.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: Now, you know, it's interesting.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Holy Spirit.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: But in Matthew, I believe it's in verse 22, but don't shoot me, you know, if I'm wrong.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: I believe it's in Matthew 22.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um, let me just say, um, yeah, it is unrighteous.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: Praise the Lord.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: Here it says in Matthew 22, verse 37, Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: This is the first and the great commandment.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: Now, there is a verse, I believe it's in Deuteronomy 6, verse 5.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: Let me just quickly see if I'm right.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: Deuteronium 6 verse 5.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: This is just the Holy Spirit now talking to me because I didn't prepare to go here and to look this up.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: But Deuteronium 6 verse 5.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: So here in Deuteronomy 6, verse 5 it says, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: Same verse, right?
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: The interesting thing is that if you look up this word love, oh yes, and then also, of course, that you shall love your that you shall love your brother.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: Let me see.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um, let me see in uh which one that would be written.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: Um Leviticus 19 verse 18.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: Leviticus 19 verse 18, Leviticus, Leviticus, Leviticus 19, verse 18.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, is it here?
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: Exodus.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, what yes, Leviticus 19, verse 18.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: I am the Lord.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: Now, look it up for yourself.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: In the how you call that in English, it's like in uh I don't know how you say it in English, but you have all the Greek numbers and the strong concordance.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: You go to the concordance and look it up.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: It says here, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: Old covenant, right?
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: If you look up this word love, also the one that I read in Deuteronomy, if you look up this word love, then um I don't know now from my head what the word is in Hebrew, but it means, it literally means Phileo love, that is brothery love, that is uh I love you as a friend, I love you as a brother.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: And and he says that we need to love our neighbors as with the brothery love as we love ourselves.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: I am the Lord.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, Leviticus 19, verse 18.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_01: You just write it down and look it up for yourself, and then it says here in Matthew 22 it says that you should love the neighbor with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um, look what what the very first thing is that we need to love God with.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: This is heart matters.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: Love the Lord with all your heart, and then with all your soul, that's where the heart comes together.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's where your spirit and your soul come together.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: That's your heart, that's your true self, that is who you truly believe, who you are, and who God is, and what you truly think.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: Your mind is just, you know, your part life, but then also love him with all your mind.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: And then the second verse 39, you shall love your neighbor as yourself, as we read in Leviticus 19, verse 18.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_01: Now listen, if you take this word here for love, and you look it up in the Greek, it is agape.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't that mind-blowing if you just think about it?
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: In the old covenant, God commands us to love each other with brotherly love and to love God as the way that we should love a brother or a friend.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_01: And then in the new covenant, he says, No, I want you to love me and love your neighbors with my kind of love, my unconditional love.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: Why was it like this in the old and now it's like this in the new?
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: Because in the old we were not capable to love with God's kind of love because we didn't receive God's kind of love poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, which it says in Romans that God has poured out his love by the Holy Spirit into our hearts.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: And now I am born of him, I have his heart, I have his heartbeat, I have his same heart, exactly the same, and I'm born out of his nature, I now have his nature, I'm born out of his spirit, I have his spirit, I'm a temple of the Holy Spirit, I now have the nature of God, and as he is, so I am I in this world.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: I am a new creation, I'm a new man in Christ, who is the head and I'm the body, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, and so I have his heart, I have his heartbeat, and I am now capable of loving others the same way that God loves them, with the same kind of love that God loves them, because I've got the same heart, I've got the same nature, I got his love in my life.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: And so if people say that they are not capable of loving their enemies, they are not capable of forgiving, they're not capable of seeing them, you know, in Christ or seeing them, you know, in their lost state and have compassion on them, or just love on your brothers and your sisters, no matter where they are standing on the on the faith ladder.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if you man, I'm telling you, you have the love of God within you, and you are capable to love them the same way that God loves them, the same way.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: And if you say you can't, then I'm sorry to tell you, but that's a lie.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_01: Because God says you can.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, love the Lord.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: Let me read it like this you shall agape the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, because you're now born of me, so you're capable to do that.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's the first and the great commandment.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: And the second is like it you shall agape your neighbor as you agape yourself.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: This is the heart of the gospel.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: First of all, you know, love yourself the way that God loves you, with the same way that God loves you, with the same grace that God loves you.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: You need to love yourself.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_01: You need to stand in front of the mirror and say, Man, I'm loved and I love myself.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_01: I love myself the way that God loves me.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: I love that new man that I am now in Christ Jesus.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: I love the very image of myself that God has created within me through His Son.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: I love myself the way that God loves me.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I am able to forgive myself, to have compassion on myself, to be moved with compassion for myself, to have mercy on myself, to be gracious.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then that same way that you need to treat yourself and love yourself and want to be treated by others is how the way that you should treat others and love them and have compassion on them and be moved with compassion for them, no matter who they are.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if you are dead, it doesn't matter how people talk about you, how they treat you, you know, how they handle you.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter whether receive you or not, reject you or not.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, nobody wants to be rejected.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to be rejected, I know what I'm talking about.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I didn't write a book good enough for nothing, you know.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm gonna write a new book that's gonna call good.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: You know, not good enough, just good.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm good, not enough, I'm good, more than good.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe, maybe I'm gonna call it more than good.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: Who knows?
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: Now, man, we are able to love, man.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: And so Jesus says that you know, we are as he is in this world.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: Now in Matthew 10 24, Matthew 10 24, look what it says here, man.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_01: I love to talk about love because God is love.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna share some verses on love also.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: Matthew 10 24, it says, A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: It is enough for a disciple that he be that he be like his teacher and a servant like his master.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: If they have called the master of the house Bel Zub, then how much more will they call those of his household?
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: But doesn't matter.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher and a servant like his master.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus says that we can be exactly like him.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: Who is my teacher, who is my master, he is my rabbi, he is my master, he is my king, he is my lord.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: I belong to him, and I want to serve him with everything that I have within me, and I can be exactly like him.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: So a disciple is not above his teacher, you're not more than Jesus and never will be, nor a servant above his master, you're not better, you don't know more than Jesus knows, amen.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_01: But it is enough for a disciple that he can be like a teacher and a servant that he can be like his master.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: It is enough for you that you can be like him, you can be like him, that's what he says.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't that mind-blowing that you can walk the same way that Jesus walked, act the same way that Jesus acted, talk the same way that Jesus talked.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: Be the copies of copies of me, imitators of God.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: Be ye imitators of God, imitate me as well beloved children, imitate and copy their father.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that's powerful.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: We can walk exactly like Christ in this world.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: Galatians 2.20 says, I am crucified with Christ, and it's no longer I who live, but Christ who lives within me.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: And as far as I live in the flesh, I no longer I no longer live for myself.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: I have been crucified.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_01: And Jesus says in John 14, 12, he says, Verily I say unto you, or very surely I say unto you, the works that I do you shall do also.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: Whoever believes in me, the works that I do, he shall do also, and greater works he will do than these, because I will go to my Father.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: So we apply these verses very often by saying, you know, that you know, we can heal the sick and cast out demons and we can raise the dead, you know, and even though that is absolutely true, and I walk in it also in the name of Jesus, hallelujah.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's absolutely true that we can do all those things because he was doing all those things as well.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: You know, the most important of what Jesus asks from us is definitely, you know, not uh, you know, the healing of sick and casting out the demons and all that kind of stuff.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: That's not the most important he asks from us.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's amazing that we can do that though that so that they may believe, but not for you to become a super duper with all your healing powers.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I don't want to go there, so please, I'm gonna constrain myself, Holy Spirit, to not go there.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: But there are a lot of people, you know, a lot of people that see themselves as these super troopers, you know, with their healing powers going about this show that it's all about them, you know.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: And God is always faithful to his word, you know, but that's not what Jesus talks about, man.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's not about all the healings and the signs and the wonders.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: We want to see them as much as possible so that God can be glorified, so that people may believe.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's the whole point of the whole thing.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: You know, but these are just things that are on the surface.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: What really is important, what happens down below, in the roots, so that the fruits that will be brought forth within you will be produced by God Himself, by Jesus Himself within you.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: There will be fruits and labors of love.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: It is about love.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: It is about love.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: It's all about love.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I cannot repeat myself more often.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: I will repeat myself in Jesus' name.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: I just read, you know, love your neighbor as yourself in Luke 6 27.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: Look what it says in Luke 27.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: And this is gonna be a wake-up call for a lot of people.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: Luke 6 27.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_01: Here it says, but I say to you who hear, love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_01: Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: And verse 31 just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_01: You treat them the way that you want to be treated.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: How do you want to be treated?
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want to be treated as garbage?
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want to be treated like people looking down on you reject you and judge you?
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want to be treated like inferior to others?
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want to be treated like that?
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: Completely rejected, neglected, oppressed?
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: You want to be treated like that?
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want people to walk by if you lay in the gutter?
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_01: You know, when you have nothing to eat, when somebody kicks you out of the house and you're all by yourself and feeling only the lonely?
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want people just to pass you by and not help you, not reaching out to you, don't give you a sandwich, a hug, a blanket, or whatever?
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: How you want people to treat you?
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: The same way you want to be treated, you need to treat others.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: God isn't fooled what a man sows, that he also will reap.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we need to walk in compassion and unconditional love.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_01: I am telling you, it is this is this is this is what it's all about.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: Look in John 13.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_01: Here it says in verse 34.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: In 34 it says, A new commandment I give to you that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I can just I can just melt, you know.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: Because man, I have been wanted to be loved so badly in my life, and I know that my mom, you know, God bless her, you know.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_01: My mom, she loved me with all the love that she could love me with, you know, but then the rest of the world not, you know.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: So but I was desperate, desperate to have this real love.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: Love, love, love, you know, that you cannot express this love that makes you constantly over and over and over fall in love again.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: Over and over, there's nobody in the world that can touch me like Jesus.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody in the world, I'm telling you.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: And he says, Man, I love you, and I want you to love each other the same way as I love you.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine to fall over and over and over again in love with your brothers and your sisters?
• 22:21

  SPEAKER_01: You love them.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's a commandment that He gives us.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you calling me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_01: Why are we judging people, rejecting people, and gossiping about people and you know, think all these things of all those people that are in somewhere inferior to ourselves, and we adjusting, we become like the, you know, like the Pharisee when the tax collector was standing in the door, and we say, Oh God, thank you that I'm not like all those people, and the tax collector is standing there because I do this good and I do that good, and I do that good.
• 24:26

  SPEAKER_01: Love the people, don't judge them, don't lift yourself up above them.

  SPEAKER_01: That's what he says, and not in words or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_01: Look what it says in verse 23.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: And this is his commandment that we should believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ and love one another as he gave us a commandment.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's the commandment that I'm just that I just read.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_01: This is the new commandment that I give you, that you love one another as I have loved you.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_01: And then in 1 John 4, verse 7, it says, Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm telling you, the Bible is full about love.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_01: Let me, I'm just I'm just my eye is just here falling on what I already see, you know.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_01: Look in in 1 John 4 verse 11.

  SPEAKER_01: Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

  SPEAKER_01: That's what he says.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: Verse 12 no one has seen God at any time.

  SPEAKER_01: If we love one another, God abides in us and his love has been perfected in us.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: And the Bible is full about the love and the commandment that we should love one another the way that he has loved us, and that we should love God with all our hearts and all our soul and all our minds, you know.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: Love or love God with all your heart, love your neighbor with all your heart, love yourself with all your heart, love the world with all your heart, not the things of the world.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'm talking about the people in the world, no matter where they're standing in their lives.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_01: Love them the same way that God loved the world so that He gave His only begotten Son, you will give yourself to reach them so they can be one for eternity and come home to the Father and can be restored.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_01: That is the heart of the gospel.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_01: That is a hard matter.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm telling you, man, if you're gonna get a hold of that and you're gonna be real, you're gonna be real, man, you will be changed and you will be a light in the world and the soul of the earth and a blessing to others.
