• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Please make us holy today in Jesus' name, I pray,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. By the way, I forgot to
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: ask you to be like keenly aware of our our
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: program at eight am on Sundays. This is for evangelistic purposes.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Please share this with as many people as possible. It
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: is called the New Sunday School of Thought. There was
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: good reason based on the book Evangelism, page two hundred
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and forty four, So please share that with as many
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: people as possible. Now, yesterday I was extremely passionate because
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I remembered the thought that I had after I got baptized, like,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: how could Jesus have been so good to us? Like
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to become sin? What does that mean? Become sin? So
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: we can become holy like Jesus took on everything. And
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go into it like I did yesterday,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I promise, but listen for Him to do all of
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that for you and for me. Now, let's talk about
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it tactically. Siled from wicked works, reconciled from wicked works.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Our lesson number one comes in from the Bible Book
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of Colossians, chapter one and verse twenty one Colossians one
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and verse twenty one, and the Bible reads and you
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that were sometime alienated. So this is our how we
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: were born, by the way, alienated and enemies in your mind,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: by wicked works. I know we didn't have wicked thoughts
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: as babies, but I'm saying we were born as as
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: shapen in sin and iniquity, right, and so when we
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: got old enough to start making our own decisions, then
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: our decisions often went awry, like we went away from God.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: We lived according to our human dna, and they were
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: wicked works. And the Bible continues yet now and so
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: there's a transition point like the moment that you become
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: one of God's children. Yet now hath he reconciled. Let
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: me read it again, and you were at one time
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: strangers and enemies in your minds, as expressed through your
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: evil deeds. And so alienation isn't just a mindset or
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a behavioral thing where you do something wrong and then
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: God goes on his list and says, Okay, well, here
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: are the one hundred and thirty two thousand, six hundred
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and ninety four wrong deeds possible. So I'm going to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: put that under this wrong deed, and that is what
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: determines alienation. No, the alienation is based on our nature.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: But we're also talking about our relationship. So the separation
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: between us and God, based on the decisions that we
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: have made based on our broken and sinful mindsets, is
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a relational thing. So sin distorts how humanity either thinks
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: about God or how we relate to God or both.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: That's a distortion like that is part of the cause
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: of our separation, and so the initiative to restore the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: relationship does not come from us. Jesus went into the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: garden of Eden, and he called out to Adam, saying, Adam,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: where are you? Not because he didn't know where Adam was.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: He went looking for Adam because Adam was lost, not
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: because God was lost. But because Adam was lost, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Adam didn't even know he was lost, the dude was
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: perfect before he jumped into sin. Eve fell into sin.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: She was deceived. Adam jumped into sin. He did it
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: bulface like it was some iniquity stuff. He knew exactly
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: what was going on, was not deceived, and he jumped
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: into sin for his reasons. And now God making the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: first step, because if God left it up to us,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: if he left it up to Adam, we would all
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: be lost. He goes and he calls out to Adam
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and says, where are you? So Adam could see what
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the world is going on? And he says, I'm I'm
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I'm as naked and ashamed and afraid, so I hid myself.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I'm in the bushes. God who told thee that thou
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: wast naked? Adam, did you eat from the tree that
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I commanded that thou shouldest not eat? And then of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: course Adam goes down this goofy trail of blaming it
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: on Eve. And then Eve does something goofy and blames
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: it on the devil. Nobody's taking responsibility except God, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: God is taking on the responsibility of finding human beings
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: who are relationally alienated from Him, and so and so
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it comes from God. From Eden forward, God has always
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: been the one who seeks the loss. Jesus came to
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: seek and to save that which was lost. And so
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the action step is to stop framing salvation as your
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: pursuit of God. I know, like there's a book I
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: like titled I think it's a oh Man Pursuing God.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But listen, that's not it. Like, stop framing salvation as
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: your pursuit of God, except that reconciliation became with God
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: pursuing you less the number two. That's a good one, y'all.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you Colossians, Chapter one and verse twenty two.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: It's right out of the Bible. The Bible reads, in
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the body of his flesh through death to present you holy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: So Jesus did something as a human to make us holy.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: First he became as a human, and also he did
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: everything he needed while he lived on planet Earth in
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: order to save us from our sins. So to present
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you what holy and unblameable and unreprovable in his sight.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: May I say it just a little bit more simply
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: than this passage, Because even Peter was like lo this dude.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Paul taught stuff that was hard to understand. Just look
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: at the time of Jesus in the Garden of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: in the part of me in the wilderness being tempted
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: of the devil. So hint, Jesus being buffeted by the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: devil there and from the point of his birth straight through,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: and the devil's trying to kill him through the king,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and the devil's trying to kill him through people who
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: said that they were God's people before Jesus could die
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: on the cross to save us from our sins, while
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the devil's trying to get him to sell out in
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the in the wilderness, and some more stuff like, yeah,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: all that Jesus went through while these people were beating
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: him and ripping his beard out and stabbing him in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the side and calling out to him in a disrespectful way.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I don't even like repeating what they said. Yeah, He's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: going through all of that so you can be holy,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: so that you can be unblameable, you can be unreprovable
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: in God's sight. And so the word the word I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: mean to present means like so he could present you
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: means to place before God in this case as acceptable,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: so that the one who was born in sin and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: shape and iniquity, that's you, that's me, can be presented
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: or placed before God, our Father as acceptable. We are
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: accepted in the Beloved. The Bible says that he is
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: able to keep us from falling and to present us
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: faultless before the Presence with exceeding joy. And so I'm
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: grateful that the cross changes our standing with God and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: of course our eternal outcome. We are now children of
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the most High God. If we submit our will peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: portion with el David Harris, make it a great day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah,
