  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:02
  Huddle for May 1st, 2025. Your
• 0:05
  two-minute play of the day for applying
• 0:08
  God's word in your life. So, let's
• 0:09
  huddle up and hear today's play from
• 0:11
  Ezekiel 33 that says, "Son of man, say
• 0:14
  to the Israelites, this is what you are
• 0:16
  saying. Our offenses and sins weigh us
• 0:19
  down, and we are wasting away because of
• 0:22
  them. How then can we live? Say to them,
• 0:25
  as surely as I live, declares the
• 0:27
  sovereign Lord. I take no pleasure in
• 0:30
  the death of the wicked, but rather that
• 0:32
  they turn from their ways and live.
• 0:35
  Turn, turn from your evil ways. Then you
• 0:38
  will die, not die. Why do you want to
• 0:41
  die, people of Israel? Therefore, son of
• 0:43
  man, say to your people, if someone who
• 0:46
  is righteous disobys, that person's
• 0:49
  former righteousness will count for
• 0:51
  nothing. And if someone who is wicked
• 0:53
  repents, that person's former wickedness
• 0:56
  will not bring condemnation. The
• 0:58
  righteous person who sins will not be
• 1:00
  allowed to live even though they were
• 1:03
  formerly
• 1:04
  righteous. You know, the brokenness of
• 1:07
  humanity proves the sinfulness, the
• 1:09
  rebellion against God that humanity now
• 1:12
  lives. It's a weight that can't be
• 1:14
  carried by anyone. We all suffer the
• 1:18
  result of our own sin, the sin of others
• 1:20
  and the sin of inherent in a world that
• 1:23
  causes disasters that destroy the lives
• 1:25
  of so many. This is why God has come
• 1:28
  into the world as one of us in Jesus the
• 1:30
  savior. The wages of sin are death and
• 1:33
  then judgment leading to condemnation
• 1:36
  and to eternal suffering. God who is
• 1:38
  just demands this but loves us so and so
• 1:41
  has come to us to save us from this
• 1:43
  horrible and hopeless end. Jesus came as
• 1:47
  a man through a woman though he was God
• 1:49
  in order to be fully man. Jesus lived a
• 1:52
  perfect life as well all of us are
• 1:54
  supposed to live. Jesus offered himself
• 1:57
  as a sacrifice to God exchanging his
• 2:00
  perfection to be appropriated to us for
• 2:03
  our sins and our rebellion. And so he
• 2:06
  was punished at the cross and Jesus rose
• 2:08
  from the dead proving his offering was
• 2:11
  acceptable. The exchange available and
• 2:13
  the promise of life in peace with God
• 2:16
  attainable. This exchange occurs when we
• 2:19
  repent. When we turn from our wicked
• 2:21
  ways, when we believe that Jesus's
• 2:24
  perfect life and perfect sacrifice are
• 2:27
  the only means for restoring us to peace
• 2:29
  with God. This exchange continues as we
• 2:32
  faithfully obey God all our days, not
• 2:35
  depending upon our religion or our own
• 2:37
  righteousness to save us. Were you
• 2:40
  baptized as a child? Did you go to
• 2:42
  church? Did you pray once for Jesus to
• 2:44
  forgive you? Do you now live your own
• 2:47
  way according to your own will, doing
• 2:49
  whatever is right in your own eyes?
• 2:51
  Repent, return, be restored, and obey
• 2:55
  everything Jesus commands so that you
• 2:57
  may live forever with God and all those
• 3:00
  who have loved him faithfully for what
• 3:02
  he has done to the end of their lives on
• 3:04
  this earth to be raised and live forever
• 3:07
  on the new verse.
