  OK, this is your sin, this is your sin, and this is your sin.
• 0:06
  Now watch very carefully. So here's my challenge to you.
• 0:16
  Can anyone find their sin? Again, I think it's impossible,
• 0:21
  but this guy is pretty determined, so let's give him
• 0:24
  until the end of the video to see if he can manage this
• 0:27
  impossible task. But right now, let me show you
• 0:30
  something that will leave you absolutely speechless.
• 0:34
  Do you remember this film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate
• 0:37
  Winslow? Well, if you go on Google Earth
• 0:40
  and you put in these precise coordinates, you will find the
• 0:43
  location of this very famous boat.
• 0:46
  And I can promise you this. Although the stern, the boiler,
• 0:49
  and even the shoes are still intact, there is no way this
• 0:53
  boat is ever coming back to the surface.
• 0:57
  So over to you. Have you yet where I'm going
• 1:00
  with this yet? Well, perhaps this will help you
• 1:03
  to solve my puzzle. James Cameron, the director of
• 1:06
  this eleven time Oscar winning film, experienced the
• 1:10
  unimaginable depths of the ocean floor first hand.
• 1:13
  In 2012 he became the first explorer to reach the bottom of
• 1:18
  the Mariana Trench all on his own.
• 1:20
  This journey took him 36,000 feet below sea level and a whole
• 1:25
  4 hours until his submarine touched the seabird.
• 1:29
  So I'll ask you again, have you figured out what I'm trying to
• 1:33
  drive home to you yet? Well, it's this verse from the
• 1:36
  Bible. The Bible says in Micah 7 verse
• 1:39
  19, He will again have compassion on us and will subdue
• 1:43
  our iniquities. You will cast all of our sins
• 1:47
  into the depths of the sea. Some people who can hear my
• 1:51
  voice right now need a little tough love.
• 1:54
  If that's you, let me ask you a question.
• 1:57
  Why do you doubt God love for you?
• 2:00
  Why do you doubt the power of his forgiveness, His mercy, His
• 2:03
  grace? Either he's really cast your
• 2:05
  sins to the bottom of the sea floor or He's not.
• 2:08
  I mean, are you imagining this right now?
• 2:10
  If you have come to the Lord Jesus Christ, if you have
• 2:13
  believed on His name alone to save you, then your sins are now
• 2:16
  buried as deep as the Mariana Trench.
• 2:19
  So please think about it. Do you really think that just
• 2:23
  because you've messed up today, God is going to plunge His
• 2:26
  divine hand right down into the depths of the ocean, all your
• 2:29
  sins out, and shove them into your arms, just because you've
• 2:32
  not been living like a Christian recently?
• 2:35
  No, the God I believe in, the God of the Bible, shows patience
• 2:39
  and grace even to the prodigal. My dear brother, my dear sister,
• 2:44
  you are never too far gone for the Son of God to bring you
• 2:48
  home. And I am sorry to ask this, but
• 2:50
  you do believe the word of God, don't you?
• 2:53
  Because either there's no condemnation for those who are
• 2:56
  in Christ Jesus or there is either nothing can separate us
• 3:00
  from the love of God or our sin can separate us from the love of
• 3:04
  God. Either we are declared righteous
• 3:07
  now because we have trusted in Christ Jesus or we're not
• 3:11
  righteous. I don't care what any man tells
• 3:14
  you, let God be true and every man alive.
• 3:17
  Because I know that I have been washed in the blood of the Lord
• 3:20
  Jesus Christ. And I know if you're listening
• 3:22
  to this right now and you've trusted in Christ, you also have
• 3:25
  been washed in the blood of your Saviour.
• 3:27
  And if that's happened, then my sins, your sins are buried at
• 3:31
  the bottom of the ocean and that's that.
• 3:34
  Are you smiling right now? Well, this will put a smile on
• 3:37
  your face because to quote Corrie 10 Boom, who was talking
• 3:40
  about this verse, she once said the Lord God places a sign where
• 3:44
  he casts these sins, which says no fishing allowed.
• 3:49
  And I can assure you of one thing, even if we wanted to fish
• 3:53
  for our sins, there's no rot, There's no line that would be
• 3:57
  long enough to reach the place where God.
• 3:59
  God has sent them. For the Scripture, it doesn't
• 4:01
  make any mistakes when it says the depths of the sea.
• 4:05
  For if the good Lord cast our sins into the shallows, but
• 4:08
  what's to stop those sins from not being washed back onto the
• 4:11
  shore? What's to stop those sins from
• 4:13
  not coming back to us? But God doesn't do that.
• 4:17
  He takes our sins as far as the east is from the West.
• 4:21
  So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
• 4:25
  I am going to choose my words very carefully now, but how
• 4:28
  often do you count your sins? Or how often do you count how
• 4:32
  many days it's been since you last sinned?
• 4:34
  Last week I accidentally bumped into a subscriber from my
• 4:38
  YouTube channel in Starbucks of all places, and he quite openly
• 4:42
  admitted to me that unless it's been 4 days that he's gone
• 4:45
  without sinning, he doesn't believe that he can go to God in
• 4:49
  prayer and ask for forgiveness. Now you might chuckle at that,
• 4:52
  but I've met other people who've said similar things and I do
• 4:55
  wonder if there's anyone listening right now who holds
• 4:58
  other rules like this which are totally contrary to what the
• 5:02
  Bible says. Just listen to Isaiah 43 verse
• 5:06
  25, because this is God speaking.
• 5:09
  I even I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own
• 5:14
  sake, and I will not remember your sins.
• 5:18
  So just a minute, if this is the same God who counts the very
• 5:22
  numbers of hairs on our head, if this is the same God who numbers
• 5:27
  the sand on the seashore, why is it that this same God chooses
• 5:31
  not to count, not to remember our sins anymore?
• 5:36
  Well, please, everyone, look at me.
• 5:38
  You did know that Jesus Christ died.
• 5:41
  Even for the worst part of you, you did know that the Lord Jesus
• 5:44
  Christ knew all the mistakes you were going to make, all the sins
• 5:48
  that you were going to do. But even after knowing all of
• 5:51
  this, He still went to the cross in love for you.
• 5:55
  Jesus isn't repelled by your struggles like others are.
• 5:58
  He'll hold on to you when no one else would.
• 6:01
  Jesus doesn't hold on to your past.
• 6:03
  No, He is the God of second chances.
• 6:07
  Jesus will never run away from you, even when everyone else
• 6:10
  can't stand the sight of you. Our Lord and Savior stays when
• 6:14
  things get difficult. Oh my dear friends, some of you
• 6:19
  cannot cope with this abundant, extravagant love, and you will
• 6:23
  run away from God. But listen to me, it doesn't
• 6:26
  matter how fast you run, you'll never outrun His grace.
• 6:30
  But if you are running, can I gently ask you to stop and start
• 6:35
  running towards him? Perhaps you say, Joe, I'm in a
• 6:38
  very dark place in my life right now.
• 6:40
  Well, what I say to you, I'd say stop waiting for this storm to
• 6:44
  pass. Just because everyone else has
• 6:46
  left you in the storm doesn't mean Jesus will also leave you.
• 6:50
  No, it's quite the opposite. He'll hold on to your hand and
• 6:54
  walk you through this storm until you get to the other side.
• 6:58
  So here's the part you've all been waiting for.
• 7:00
  Did our diver find my sins and your sins at the bottom of that
• 7:06
  very deep quarry? No, I did not.
• 7:12
  But I did find this one last thing before you go.
• 7:15
  I hope that everyone who watches this channel regularly knows
• 7:19
  that I I'm in no way someone who encourages that we should be
• 7:23
  ultra relaxed on sin. No, no, quite the opposite.
• 7:26
  I think we should ruthlessly confront our sin daily and try
• 7:30
  to turn from it because we want to be more like the one who's
• 7:33
  redeemed us. We want to be more like our
• 7:35
  Savior Jesus Christ. And if you are someone who does
• 7:38
  need a strong wake up call, we should probably watch this video
• 7:42
  right away. I.
