• 2:01
  That we have. And uh and I'm thankful
• 2:03
  for I'm thankful for our country. And uh
• 2:06
  thankful that uh that we have a country
• 2:09
  we can worship in freely. And I praise
• 2:11
  the Lord for that. And I thank God for
• 2:13
  If you got a Bible, turn to uh to John
• 2:16
  chapter number eight. I started at Acts
• 2:17
  chapter 8, but John chapter number
• 2:18
  eight. And uh you pray the Lord help us
• 2:21
  this morning and uh pray God to give us
• 2:24
  what we need. And uh
• 2:27
  John chapter number eight. And is it not
• 2:31
  good to be in church? Amen. And I
• 2:33
  remember before I got saved, I had no
• 2:35
  desire to be in church and never had a
• 2:38
  desire to be in church. I we wasn't
• 2:40
  raised in it. I wasn't raised around the
• 2:43
  things of God, around the word of God.
• 2:44
  really had no desire. Grew up and was
• 2:48
  out on my own and had never did care
• 2:51
  about going to church, no concern for
• 2:52
  it. Sunday was just another day. Amen.
• 2:56
  And uh in May of 1999, God done
• 2:59
  something in my heart really that I have
• 3:02
  never been able to explain. And I mean,
• 3:05
  I know what scripture says, but I just
• 3:07
  can't wrap my mind around it. But God
• 3:09
  done a work in my heart and saved me by
• 3:11
  the grace of God. And ever since then, I
• 3:14
  just I'm just glad to get to go to
• 3:15
  church. Aren't you? A Amen. I mean, I
• 3:18
  just wanted to go to church when God
• 3:20
  saved me. And I've always had ever since
• 3:23
  God saved me, I just wanted to be in the
• 3:24
  house of God. And uh don't really um
• 3:28
  didn't have to. Nobody had to tell me I
• 3:30
  supposed to go or I need to go or I
• 3:32
  should go. I just want to go. Amen.
• 3:35
  Y'all quiet, but that'd be all right.
• 3:37
  Amen. I remember I met people ask me all
• 3:39
  the time said, "Preacher, how do you go
• 3:40
  to church so much?" I mean, I'm in
• 3:41
  church nearly every day of my life. And
• 3:43
  I said, "How you go so much?" I I just
• 3:45
  like it. I just like going. Amen. And uh
• 3:49
  because uh this is my father's house.
• 3:52
  >> And when God saved me, he just put a
• 3:54
  hunger in my heart to be around where he
• 3:56
  is. Amen. And I'm grateful for that. And
• 3:59
  I thank God for it this morning.
• 4:01
  Actually, or Acts, I don't know why I
• 4:02
  keep saying that. Y'all pray for me.
• 4:04
  Amen. I'm a little bit nervous. Say,
• 4:06
  "Why?" Well, if you had to look at you.
• 4:07
  No, I'm joking.
• 4:09
  John chapter number eight. You find your
• 4:11
  place. Would you stand as we read the
• 4:12
  word of God uh this morning? John
• 4:16
  chapter number eight. Looks like looks
• 4:17
  like uh everybody made it one piece. I
• 4:20
  don't really worry about fireworks. I
• 4:23
  watched some videos last night when I
• 4:25
  got in late and I'm thinking there's
• 4:27
  some people it's a miracle. They is
• 4:29
  alive this morning. And so I'm glad
• 4:32
  we're here safely. Amen. And John
• 4:35
  chapter number 8. Look at you will verse
• 4:36
  number 31. John chapter number 8 verse
• 4:38
  number 31. We look at some of these
• 4:40
  verses in Sunday school. Verse number
• 4:42
  31. The Bible said, "Then said Jesus to
• 4:45
  those Jews which believed on him, if you
• 4:47
  continue in my word, then are ye my
• 4:50
  disciples indeed. You shall know the
• 4:52
  truth and the truth shall make you
• 4:53
  free." They answered him, "We be
• 4:56
  Abraham's seed and were never in bondage
• 4:59
  to any man. How sayest thou, ye shall be
• 5:01
  made free?" Jesus answered, "Verily,
• 5:03
  verily I say unto you, whosoever
• 5:05
  committh sin is the servant of sin, and
• 5:08
  the servant abideth not in the house
• 5:10
  forever, but the son abideth forever. If
• 5:12
  the son therefore shall make you free,
• 5:14
  you shall be free indeed. And I know
• 5:17
  that you're Abraham's seed, but if you
• 5:19
  seek to kill me, because my word hath no
• 5:21
  place in you. Now speak that which I
• 5:24
  have seen with my father, and ye do that
• 5:27
  which you have seen."
• 5:29
  Let me read that again. speak that which
• 5:31
  I have seen with my father, and ye do
• 5:33
  that which you have seen with your
• 5:35
  father." And they answered and said unto
• 5:37
  him, Abraham is our father. And Jesus
• 5:39
  saith unto them, If ye are Abraham's
• 5:42
  children, you would do the works of
• 5:43
  Abraham. But now you seek to kill me,
• 5:46
  and a man that hath told you the truth,
• 5:48
  which I have heard of God, this did not
• 5:51
  Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father.
• 5:54
  And as far as we'll read for the sake of
• 5:56
  time this morning, let's ask the Lord to
• 5:58
  help us as we look at these verses.
• 5:59
  Father, in Jesus name, thank you for the
• 6:01
  privilege to be in the house of God.
• 6:03
  Thank you, Lord, for your mercy and your
• 6:05
  grace. Thank you, God, for loving us.
• 6:07
  Thank you for caring for us, God. Thank
• 6:08
  you for allowing us to gather around the
• 6:10
  word of God one more time, this side of
• 6:12
  eternity. God, I thank you for the
• 6:14
  freedom to do that today. But God, I
• 6:15
  thank you for the desire to do that. And
• 6:17
  I bless your name for it. And I pray,
• 6:19
  God, you know the need of every heart.
• 6:21
  God, you know what needs to be said. And
• 6:23
  I ask you, Lord, that you would give me
• 6:25
  clarity of speech and thought. Lord, I
• 6:27
  pray God that you would just uh uh speak
• 6:29
  to hearts. I can't do anything, Lord,
• 6:31
  within myself, God. I need your touch. I
• 6:33
  need your help. I need your power. And
• 6:35
  Lord, I'm asking you for that. Lord, I
• 6:37
  pray, God, for those that do not know
• 6:39
  you as their savior today, Lord. I pray
• 6:41
  the spirit of God would reprove them of
• 6:43
  their sin. And Lord, I pray they'd come
• 6:45
  to you in faith and repentance. Lord, I
• 6:47
  pray that they would trust you before
• 6:49
  it's too late. Help help your people do
• 6:51
  what only you can do. We'll thank you
• 6:52
  for it in Jesus' name. Amen. And amen.
• 6:56
  Thank you for standing. You can be
• 6:58
  seated. You know that this week our
• 7:01
  nation celebrates Independence Day. We
• 7:04
  remember July the 4th, 1776
• 7:07
  that the Declaration of Independence was
• 7:09
  adopted and the colonies declared their
• 7:12
  freedom from the rule of Britain. And
• 7:15
  I'm thankful for that. Aren't you? I'm
• 7:17
  thankful that we could celebrate our
• 7:19
  nation and our country and the freedom
• 7:21
  that we have as Americans. I'm thankful
• 7:24
  for our country. I'm thankful for our
• 7:26
  flag and the sacrifices that have been
• 7:29
  made that we can enjoy the freedoms that
• 7:32
  we have today. And I and by the way, we
• 7:34
  have many freedoms that I am grateful
• 7:36
  for. And one of those is that we have
• 7:38
  the freedom to gather in the house of
• 7:41
  God and worship and hear the word of God
• 7:44
  preach. And I'm glad for that. We have
• 7:46
  that freedom. And how we can trace much
• 7:49
  of that back to that day when
• 7:50
  independence was declared uh from
• 7:53
  Britain. And I'm thankful for that day.
• 7:56
  And I'm thankful for our Declaration of
• 7:59
  Independence. But I want to preach God
• 8:00
  to hit me this morning out of this text
• 8:03
  on the greatest independence day. Amen.
• 8:07
  You see, I'm glad that I'm thankful I'm
• 8:09
  an American. I'm thankful that I was
• 8:10
  born in this country. Said it in Sunday
• 8:12
  school that, you know, we could have
• 8:14
  been born in any country and in any
• 8:17
  nation under any circumstances. But I
• 8:19
  sure am thankful that God allowed me to
• 8:22
  be born in this country that we have
• 8:25
  freedom and not just in this country but
• 8:27
  in the Bible belt of America that we
• 8:30
  could hear the gospel preached. And many
• 8:32
  of us have been have grew up around the
• 8:34
  word of God and hearing the preaching of
• 8:37
  the word of God. And I'm grateful for
• 8:39
  that opportunity. I'm thankful that I am
• 8:42
  not ashamed of my country. I know
• 8:44
  there's some things going on to be
• 8:46
  ashamed of friend. I'm thankful to be an
• 8:49
  American. Amen. And I'm thankful for the
• 8:52
  day we declared our independence. But
• 8:54
  can I tell you the greatest uh day uh uh
• 8:58
  uh the greatest declaration of
• 8:59
  independence was not the day that this
• 9:02
  country was made free from the uh the
• 9:04
  the rule of Great Britain. But the
• 9:06
  greatest day of independence is when
• 9:09
  Jesus came to where I was and set me
• 9:12
  free from the bondage of sin and gave me
• 9:15
  victory over sin. And I that's exactly
• 9:18
  what Jesus deals with in this text. I
• 9:22
  want to talk to you about that. I'm glad
• 9:24
  I've been made free. Amen. I mean, there
• 9:26
  was a I don't want to get ahead of
• 9:27
  myself, but there was a time in my life
• 9:30
  when I could not I had no power to live
• 9:32
  FOR GOD. I COULD NOT do the things that
• 9:35
  were right and really had no desire to
• 9:38
  do the things that were right. But God
• 9:40
  came to where I was and had delivered me
• 9:43
  from the bondage that I was in and set
• 9:46
  me free. AND I'M GLAD UH THAT I'VE been
• 9:49
  free indeed. Not because I'm an
• 9:52
  American, but because thank God I know
• 9:54
  the Lord Jesus and he worked the power
• 9:57
  of freedom in my soul and broke the
• 10:00
  bondage and gave me liberty in him. And
• 10:03
  that's what I want to talk to you about
• 10:05
  this morning. Don't you notice this text
• 10:07
  and we talked a little bit about it in
• 10:09
  Sunday school in chapter number eight.
• 10:11
  Jesus gives these Pharisees a great
• 10:14
  theological lesson. And then in verse
• 10:17
  number 30, he said this or the Bible
• 10:21
  says this and he spake these words and
• 10:23
  many believed on him. I want you to
• 10:26
  notice in these te this text that the
• 10:29
  profession that was examined. So the
• 10:32
  Bible said because of the discourse
• 10:34
  Jesus has just gave them about him being
• 10:37
  the light of the world that many
• 10:40
  believed on him. But one thing is
• 10:42
  interesting if you study the book of J
• 10:44
  or the book of John you'll find that
• 10:47
  John lays out the idea that there is a
• 10:50
  uh there is a there's such a there is a
• 10:53
  uh uh there is possibility of a false
• 10:56
  faith. Amen. or a possibility of a of
• 11:00
  believing things but not really trusting
• 11:03
  things. How you say what do you mean?
• 11:05
  Well, the Bible tells in John chapter
• 11:07
  number two and verse number 23 that many
• 11:10
  believed in his name when they saw the
• 11:12
  miracles which he did. Now listen, I
• 11:15
  tell you what most people would have
• 11:16
  done right there. uh they would have
• 11:18
  brought those people in, put them on a
• 11:20
  church road, baptized them, and made
• 11:22
  them members of a local church because
• 11:24
  they believed uh in the miracles that
• 11:27
  Jesus did. But you know what your Bible
• 11:29
  said? Your Bible said this, "But Jesus
• 11:31
  did not commit himself unto them because
• 11:34
  he knew all men." Amen. They believed
• 11:38
  something about him, but they did not.
• 11:41
  He did not commit himself to them
• 11:43
  because he knew what was in their heart.
• 11:46
  And it's interesting in the very next
• 11:48
  chapter how the Bible says that there
• 11:50
  was a man of the Pharisees named
• 11:52
  Nicodemus that came to Jesus by night.
• 11:55
  And this is what he said. He said that
• 11:57
  we know thou art the teacher come from
• 11:58
  God for no man do these miracles except
• 12:02
  God be with him. So there was a man
• 12:05
  named Nicodemus. He was a religious man.
• 12:07
  He believed that Jesus came from God. He
• 12:10
  believed that God was with him. Now
• 12:12
  listen, the miracles had convinced him
• 12:15
  of that reality. But Jesus looks at
• 12:18
  Nicodemus and says, "Verily, verily, I
• 12:20
  say un thee, except a man be born again,
• 12:23
  he cannot inherit the kingdom of God."
• 12:26
  And so, listen, IT'S POSSIBLE TO BELIEVE
• 12:28
  SOME things about Christ, IT'S POSSIBLE
• 12:31
  TO BELIEVE SOME THINGS about God and not
• 12:34
  really know him as your savior. Amen.
• 12:38
  That's what we find in this text. Jesus
• 12:41
  gives them again a great theological
• 12:44
  truth about his identity as the Jehovah
• 12:47
  God. And the Bible said that many
• 12:50
  believe on him. But look at verse number
• 12:53
  31. Then said Jesus of those Jews which
• 12:56
  believed on him,
• 12:58
  if you continue in my word, then are you
• 13:01
  my disciples indeed. Amen. Now notice
• 13:05
  there was an appearance of faith. There
• 13:07
  were some people here that had heard the
• 13:08
  word of God. that heard the authority of
• 13:10
  his claims, that heard him speak about
• 13:13
  the father, that heard him speak about
• 13:15
  him being the light, that heard him that
• 13:18
  heard the truth that he'd spoken. And
• 13:20
  many believe the Bible, listen, but the
• 13:22
  rest of the passage forces us to ask the
• 13:25
  question, what kind of belief did they
• 13:27
  really have? Because you'll find later
• 13:29
  in this text, uh, that they they they
• 13:32
  seek to stone him. They're really
• 13:34
  rejecting him as the the son of God. And
• 13:38
  so THEY HAVE AN APPEARANCE OF faith but
• 13:41
  there is no reality to their faith.
• 13:43
  Amen. And you know what? There's a lot
• 13:45
  of people in this nation that they
• 13:48
  they've memorized A FEW FACTS AND THEY'D
• 13:50
  SAY they know that Jesus uh was bo was
• 13:54
  born and lived and died and was buried
• 13:56
  and rose again the third day. And they
• 13:58
  have a few facts memorized. But friend,
• 14:01
  listen. Just because they have a few
• 14:02
  facts memorized and THEY BELIEVE THOSE
• 14:05
  FACTS DOES NOT mean that they've been
• 14:08
  saved by the grace OF GOD. AMEN. AND
• 14:11
  THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN this text.
• 14:12
  THEY HAD SOME THEY HAD SOME BELIEF ABOUT
• 14:15
  the identity of who Jesus was, BUT THEY
• 14:20
  REALLY DID NOT KNOW HIM AS THEIR SAVIOR.
• 14:23
  AND WHAT JESUS BEGINS TO do in this text
• 14:26
  is HE BEGINS TO PUT their uh their
• 14:29
  profession of their faith under the
• 14:31
  microscope.
• 14:32
  >> Yeah.
• 14:33
  >> And by the way, can I just make this
• 14:35
  statement? Uh friend, if your salvation
• 14:37
  of my salvation does not line up with
• 14:40
  the word of God, then it it is not real.
• 14:43
  Amen. I don't care how much you've been
• 14:45
  in church. Uh I don't care how much
• 14:46
  truth YOU'VE HEARD PREACHED. I don't
• 14:48
  care how MANY FACTS YOU KNOW. I DON'T
• 14:51
  CARE HOW MANY VERSES YOU CAN QUOTE. IF
• 14:52
  YOUR SALVATION DOES NOT LINE UP WITH
• 14:55
  THIS BOOK, THEN YOU ARE NOT SAVED.
• 14:58
  >> That's right.
• 14:59
  >> Amen. And Jesus begins to examine their
• 15:03
  faith. He listen, there's the appearance
• 15:05
  of faith and then there is the abiding
• 15:08
  of true faith. Look what he says in
• 15:10
  verse number 31. He said this. If you
• 15:13
  can, he said uh to those Jews which
• 15:15
  believed on him, if you continue in my
• 15:18
  word, then are you disciples indeed.
• 15:22
  Amen. Jesus clearly, he said, now wait a
• 15:25
  minute. How you say you believe on me?
• 15:28
  Let's examine and see what that what
• 15:31
  does a true disciple look like? What
• 15:34
  does a true convert look like? And he
• 15:37
  says this. He says in verse 31, he he
• 15:40
  said, "If you continue in my word." Now
• 15:44
  the word continue is important. It means
• 15:46
  to abide. It means to remain. It means
• 15:49
  to dwell, to stay. Jesus is not saying
• 15:52
  that continuing in his word earns
• 15:55
  salvation.
• 15:57
  >> He is saying that continuing in his word
• 15:59
  is evidence of salvation. Amen. Listen,
• 16:04
  we're not saved by works. Is that right?
• 16:06
  We're saved by grace through faith. It's
• 16:08
  not of yourself. It is a gift of God,
• 16:10
  not of works, lest any man should boast.
• 16:13
  Nobody is saved by good deeds, by works,
• 16:15
  by being a good person, by any ordinance
• 16:18
  in the church. No one is saved that way.
• 16:21
  Amen. But I tell you WHAT, IF YOU GET
• 16:23
  SAVED, there'll be some works that
• 16:25
  FOLLOW SALVATION.
• 16:27
  >> THERE'LL BE SOME EVIDENCES. AMEN.
• 16:29
  Continuence is not the root of
• 16:31
  disciplehip. It is the fruit of
• 16:33
  disciplehip. A true disciple does not
• 16:36
  merely begin with Christ, but he
• 16:38
  continues with Christ. Amen. He said,
• 16:41
  "You continue, Amen, in my word." I
• 16:45
  mean, think about a true disciple or a
• 16:47
  true believer does not just respond to a
• 16:50
  sermon, uh, but he comes under the
• 16:53
  authority of Christ's word. Amen. YEAH.
• 16:57
  >> AND CAN I TELL YOU THAT'S A GOOD uh
• 16:59
  that's a good marker to see if you're
• 17:01
  really saved or not IS WHAT WHAT YOU
• 17:03
  THINK about the word of God. Amen. BUT
• 17:06
  I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, we live in a day
• 17:07
  that there's people that profess TO BE
• 17:09
  SAVED AND THEY profess to be TO KNOW
• 17:12
  GOD, BUT THEY HAVE NO THEY HAVE NO
• 17:14
  SUBMISSION TO THE WORD OF GOD. I MEAN, A
• 17:17
  MAN OF GOD UP CAN get up AND PREACH
• 17:19
  TRUTH AND PRESENT TRUTH AND PEOPLE CAN'T
• 17:22
  EVEN agree with it, but they will never
• 17:25
  submit to the truth of the word of GOD
• 17:27
  AND CONTINUE TO WALK IN THAT TRUTH.
• 17:31
  >> AMEN. I'M TELLING YOU, FRIEND, PEOPLE
• 17:33
  THAT ARE CONTINUALLY WALKING IN
• 17:35
  REBELLION TO THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF
• 17:37
  GOD, THAT'S A GOOD INDICATION THAT THEY
• 17:40
  ARE NOT SAVED.
• 17:42
  BECAUSE JESUS says in this text, "If you
• 17:45
  continue in my word," LOOK WHAT HE SAID.
• 17:47
  LET ME JUST TELL YOU WHAT THE BIBLE
• 17:48
  SAID. HERE'S WHAT JESUS SAID. YOU SAID,
• 17:50
  "WELL, PREACHER, WHY THAT AIN'T WHAT HE
• 17:51
  REALLY MEANT, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE SAID,
• 17:53
  PREACHER."
• 17:54
  >> HE SAID, "IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY WORD,
• 17:56
  THEN ARE YE MY DISCIPLES INDEED." THAT
• 18:00
  word indeed is an interesting word. It
• 18:02
  just means truly. Amen. Now that in
• 18:05
  other words, if you continue in my word,
• 18:08
  then you are truly or really a disciple.
• 18:12
  Amen. I want to ask you a question this
• 18:14
  morning. Uh listen, uh do you continue
• 18:17
  in the word of God? WHAT IS your
• 18:19
  relationship to the word of God? Amen.
• 18:23
  Again, I said there a moment ago when I
• 18:25
  got saved, I didn't know anything about
• 18:26
  the scripture. I didn't know anything
• 18:28
  about God. I just knew God had done a
• 18:30
  work in my heart and I fell in love with
• 18:34
  the the word of God. AND IF A MAN OF GOD
• 18:36
  GOT UP AND PREACHED THAT BOOK AND SAID,
• 18:38
  "YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THAT." YOU KNOW
• 18:39
  WHAT I DID? BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I TRIED
• 18:42
  TO STOP DOING IT. IF HE GOT UP AND
• 18:44
  PREACHED OUT THE WORD OF GOD THAT YOU
• 18:46
  NEED TO DO THIS, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I
• 18:49
  TRIED TO DO IT. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE UH
• 18:51
  UH LISTEN, THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL
• 18:54
  ABOUT THAT WORD. UH AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT
• 18:56
  IS? IT'S WHO IT COMES FROM. AND THANK
• 18:59
  GOD WHEN GOD SAVED ME, I FELL IN LOVE
• 19:01
  WITH HIM. AND IN TURN, I FELL IN LOVE
• 19:04
  WITH HIS WORD. AMEN. AND FRIEND, IF YOU
• 19:07
  DON'T CARE ANYTHING ABOUT THE WORD OF
• 19:09
  GOD, IF YOU DON'T CARE ANYTHING ABOUT
• 19:10
  OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD, IF YOU DON'T
• 19:12
  CARE ANYTHING ABOUT, LISTEN, BEING
• 19:14
  OBEDIENT TO THE SCRIPTURE, AND THAT'S A
• 19:17
  GOOD INDICATION THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE
• 19:19
  REAL FAITH.
• 19:22
  >> AMEN.
• 19:23
  >> AMEN, FRIEND. And so listen, uh, and I I
• 19:27
  had I heard a guy say this one time
• 19:29
  years ago. I never have forgot it. He
• 19:31
  said, uh, uh, if you have a salvation
• 19:34
  that doesn't change you, he said, I sure
• 19:36
  wasn't trusted to get me to heaven when
• 19:38
  I die.
• 19:40
  >> BECAUSE IF IT AIN'T POWERFUL ENOUGH TO
• 19:42
  MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE, IF IT
• 19:43
  AIN'T POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CHANGE YOU, IF
• 19:45
  IT AIN'T POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU
• 19:47
  WALK IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, I DOUBT
• 19:49
  IT'S POWERFUL ENOUGH HOW TO GET YOU TO
• 19:51
  HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE. AMEN. AMEN.
• 19:54
  >> He said listen THERE IS UH IN THE TEXT
• 19:56
  THERE IS AN ABIDING OF TRUE FAITH IF YOU
• 19:59
  CONTINUE IN HIS word then THERE IS THE
• 20:03
  UH THERE THE AUTHENT UH THE the
• 20:06
  authenticity of disciplehip in this look
• 20:09
  WHAT HE SAID HE SAID THEN ARE YOU MY
• 20:10
  disciples indeed amen indeed truly truly
• 20:14
  you are my disciples so he begins to
• 20:17
  examine he begins to examine their
• 20:20
  profession amen you know what that
• 20:22
  doesn't bother for me this morning.
• 20:24
  Amen. I remember years ago I was I was
• 20:27
  preaching a message and out of I think
• 20:29
  it's out of Peter and he he talked about
• 20:31
  always be ready TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF
• 20:32
  THE HOPE that is within you. And I'm
• 20:34
  paraphrasing that but LISTEN AND I AND I
• 20:37
  SAID THIS. I SAID YOU YOU YOU SHOULD
• 20:39
  HAVE NO TROUBLE TELLING ABOUT YOUR
• 20:42
  SALVATION. You should have no trouble
• 20:43
  telling about when you got saved.
• 20:46
  >> And I just started calling on people in
• 20:48
  the congregation and say stand us up and
• 20:50
  tell us how you know you're going to
• 20:52
  heaven. YEAH.
• 20:53
  >> STAND UP AND TELL US ABOUT WHEN YOU GOT
• 20:54
  SAVED AND how you know that you're going
• 20:56
  to heaven.
• 20:57
  >> I started calling on people.
• 20:59
  >> Amen.
• 21:00
  >> You know what happened? Some people got
• 21:02
  real nervous.
• 21:03
  >> Yeah.
• 21:04
  >> AND THEN SOME PEOPLE SAID, "I can't
• 21:06
  believe you done that. I can't believe
• 21:08
  you'd call that. YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT.
• 21:10
  YOU SHOULDN'T CALL PEOPLE OUT. THAT'S
• 21:11
  NOT YOUR JOB TO DO. THAT'S NOT YOUR JOB
• 21:13
  TO CALL PEOPLE OUT LIKE THAT."
• 21:15
  >> Got upset about it.
• 21:17
  >> Amen.
• 21:18
  >> CAN I TELL YOU, FRIEND? NOW, DON'T GO
• 21:20
  AHEAD AND ASK THAT. DON'T BOTHER ME.
• 21:22
  MATTER OF FACT, I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND
• 21:23
  TELL YOU BEFORE YOU ASK. I'M IN MAY OF
• 21:26
  1999. I REALIZED I WAS A GUILTY SINNER,
• 21:29
  UNDONE, GUILTY BEFORE GOD. AND I COME TO
• 21:32
  HIM IN FAITH AND REPENTANCE. AND THAT
• 21:34
  NIGHT, HE SAVED MY SOUL AND CHANGED ME.
• 21:37
  AND I'M NOT WHAT I OUGHT TO BE, BUT
• 21:39
  THANK GOD I'M NOT WHAT I USED TO BE. HE
• 21:41
  MADE A DIFFERENCE IN ME THAT NIGHT. AND
• 21:43
  I KNOW IN WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED AND I AM
• 21:45
  PERSUADED THAT HE IS ABLE TO KEEP THAT
• 21:47
  THAT I'VE COMMITTED UNTO HIM THAT
• 21:49
  AGAINST THAT DAY. THANK GOD I KNOW WHAT
• 21:52
  HE DONE FOR ME. AMEN.
• 21:54
  >> I KNOW I'M NOTHING, BUT THANK GOD I KNOW
• 21:56
  WHAT HE DONE FOR ME. AND HE CHANGED MY
• 21:59
  LIFE AND CHANGED MY DESIRES AND PUT A
• 22:02
  NEW LISTEN, PUT A NEW HEART ON THE
• 22:04
  INSIDE. THANK GOD I KNOW THAT I KNOW
• 22:08
  THAT I KNOW THAT I'M SAVED. AMEN.
• 22:11
  >> AMEN. NOT BECAUSE I PRAYED A PRAYER.
• 22:13
  MATTER OF FACT, I DON'T REMEMBER HARDLY
• 22:15
  WHAT I PRAYED.
• 22:16
  >> AMEN. I LISTEN. I DON'T REMEMBER HARDLY
• 22:19
  WHAT I SAID OR HARDLY WHAT I PRAYED, BUT
• 22:21
  THANK GOD I REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW HE
• 22:23
  ANSWERED AND HE DONE A WORK IN ME AND HE

  NEVER TELL ABOUT IT.
• 22:40
  >> AMEN. IF I STARTED DOING THAT THIS
• 22:42
  MORNING, IF I COME ON THIS SIDE AND IT
• 22:43
  SAID, "STAND UP AND TELL US ABOUT WHEN
• 22:45
  YOU GOT SAVED."
• 22:46
  >> YEAH. Tell it, PREACHER.
• 22:48
  >> AMEN.
• 22:49
  >> OH, I COME ON THIS SIDE. SO, I WANT YOU
• 22:51
  TO STAND UP RIGHT NOW AND TELL ME HOW
• 22:54

• 22:55
  >> THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MISS HELL.
• 22:57
  >> Tell it, preacher.
• 22:59
  >> AMEN. WHY DON'T I COME ON THIS SIDE? I
• 23:01
  WANT YOU TO STAND UP AND TELL ME HOW YOU
• 23:03
  TELL ME ABOUT WHEN YOU GOT BORN AGAIN.
• 23:06
  >> NOT WHEN YOU JOINED THE CHURCH. NOT WHEN
• 23:08
  YOU GOT BAPTIZED.
• 23:11
  >> AMEN. TELL ME ABOUT STAND UP AND TELL ME
• 23:14
  HOW YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW
• 23:18
  THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU

  DIE.
• 23:20
  >> YES.
• 23:22
  >> AMEN.
• 23:23
  >> What would you say?
• 23:25
  >> Amen. Now listen he there is the and
• 23:29
  then notice there is a problem that is
• 23:31
  exposed. Look at look at these verses in
• 23:33
  verse number 33 through35. Look what the
• 23:36
  Bible said. And then answered him they
• 23:38
  answered him. We be Abraham's seed and
• 23:41
  were never in bondage to any man. How
• 23:43
  sayest thou ye shall be made free. Now
• 23:45
  think about it. Notice the deception.
• 23:47
  Their deception was exposed. THINK ABOUT
• 23:50
  WHAT they said in verse number 33. They
• 23:52
  said this. They said, "We be Abraham's
• 23:56
  seed and were NEVER IN BONDAGE TO ANY
• 23:58
  MAN." REALLY?
• 24:01
  HOW COULD THEY MAKE THAT STATEMENT? NOW
• 24:03
  THINK ABOUT IT. THESE JEWS. HE SAID, "WE
• 24:06
  BE ABRAHAM'S seed and WE NEVER BEEN IN
• 24:09
  BONDAGE TO ANY MAN." REALLY?
• 24:12
  >> PREACHER.
• 24:13
  >> WHAT ABOUT IN EGYPT FOR 400 YEARS?
• 24:16
  >> YEAH.
• 24:17
  >> AMEN. WHAT ABOUT LISTEN, WHAT ABOUT
• 24:20
  BABYLON? WHAT ABOUT THE CAPTIVITY OF
• 24:22
  SYRIA? WHAT ABOUT LISTEN MEO PERSIA?
• 24:25
  WHAT ABOUT GREECE AND LIVING UNDER THE
• 24:27
  AUTHORITY OF GREECE? AND EVEN IN THIS
• 24:29
  DAY WHEN THEY MAKE THIS STATEMENT, YOU
• 24:31
  KNOW WHAT? THEY WERE LIVING UNDER THE
• 24:33
  AUTHORITY OF ROME.
• 24:35
  >> Y
• 24:36
  >> AND THEY SAID, "WELL, we're not in
• 24:38
  bondage
• 24:39
  >> and we've never been in bondage."
• 24:41
  >> Amen.
• 24:43
  >> They were deceived. I mean, they they
• 24:45
  were ne THEY SAID, "WE BE Abraham's
• 24:47
  seed." You know what they were doing? UH
• 24:50
  THEY WERE TRUSTING IN THEIR LINEAGE,
• 24:52
  THEIR HERITAGE. AMEN.
• 24:53
  >> We be Abraham's seed. There's a lot of
• 24:56
  people doing that in the day and time
• 24:57
  we're living in.
• 24:58
  >> Amen. So and so IS MY PARENT. SO AND SO
• 25:01
  IS MY MOM OR DADDY. AMEN.
• 25:03
  >> AMEN. SO AND SO I AND AND AND THEY MAY
• 25:06
  NOT MAKE THE STATEMENT. I THINK I'M
• 25:08
  GOING TO HEAVEN BECAUSE I'm I'm the I'm
• 25:10
  the child of so and so. But
• 25:12
  subconsciously somehow.
• 25:14
  >> Yeah.
• 25:15
  >> Amen.
• 25:16
  >> OR MAYBE YOU I'M IN CHURCH.
• 25:19
  >> AMEN. OR I'M THIS AND I I'M THAT. AMEN.
• 25:23
  AND THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DOING. LISTEN.
• 25:25
  But they WERE SO DECEIVED. THEY SAID,
• 25:27
  "WE'VE NEVER BEEN IN BONDAGE TO ANY
• 25:30
  MAN." BUT JESUS EXPOSES THEIR DOMINION
• 25:33
  in verse number 34. JESUS ANSWERED,
• 25:35
  "VERILY, VER I SAY TO YOU, WHOSOEVER,
• 25:37
  WATCH THIS, COMMITTH sin is the servant
• 25:41
  of sin."
• 25:42
  >> So he identifies it here in this text.
• 25:45
  Look what he said. WHO WHOSOEVER
• 25:47
  COMMITTH SIN. NOW HE IDENTIFIES their
• 25:50
  real problem.
• 25:52
  >> THEIR GREATEST PROBLEM WAS NOT ROME.
• 25:55
  Their greatest problem was sin. Amen.
• 25:57
  THAT'S RIGHT.
• 25:57
  >> CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING? I'M OLD.
• 26:01
  >> AMEN. HEY, LISTEN. CAN I TELL YOU THE
• 26:03
  WHAT WHAT THE GREATEST PRO THE PROBLEM
• 26:06
  SALVATION THAT AND THAT WHAT that it's
• 26:09
  not to be saved from hell.
• 26:11
  >> Yeah. Tell it, preacher.
• 26:13
  >> Don't die on me now.
• 26:14
  >> Tell it, preacher.
• 26:15
  >> It's to be saved from sin.
• 26:18
  >> Yach.
• 26:20
  >> Amen.
• 26:21
  >> Oh, MAN. YOU SAY, "PREACHER, I DON'T
• 26:23
  KNOW ABOUT THAT." WELL, LISTEN, FRIEND.
• 26:25
  HOW THE BIBLE SAID BY ONE MAN, I SAID IN
• 26:27
  SUNDAY SCHOOL, HOW THE BIBLE SAID BY ONE
• 26:30
  MAN sin entered into the WORLD AND DEATH
• 26:32
  BY SIN. YOU UNDERSTAND HOW GOD MADE MAN,
• 26:35
  PUT HIM IN THE GARDEN, GAVE HIM A
• 26:36
  COMMAND. YOU CAN EAT OF EVERY TREE OF
• 26:38
  THE GARDEN except the tree of the
• 26:39
  knowledge of good and evil. IN THE DAY
• 26:41
  THAT YOU EAT THEREOF, THOU SHALT SURELY
• 26:43
  DIE. AM I RIGHT ON THAT?
• 26:45
  >> AND HOW ADAM DISOBEYED GOD. Eve was
• 26:48
  deceived. She was deceived BY THE
• 26:51
  SERPENT. SHE GAVE TO ADAM AND HE DID EAT
• 26:53
  in disobedience.
• 26:55
  >> Amen. And sin entered this world. Well,
• 26:59
  what is sin? Sin in your Bible, it
• 27:02
  listen, it brings death.
• 27:05
  >> Sin is disobedient. AND AND THAT
• 27:07
  DISOBEDIENCE BRINGS DEATH. AND DEATH IN
• 27:10
  YOUR BIBLE IS SEPARATION from God.
• 27:14
  >> AMEN.
• 27:15
  >> AND AND I SAID IT THERE, SUNDAY SCHOOL.
• 27:16
  I SAID IT AGAIN. IT'S REALLY TWOFOLD.
• 27:18
  IT'S SEPARATION OF THE SOUL FROM GOD.
• 27:21
  AND IT'S SEPARATION OF THE SOUL FROM THE
• 27:23
  BODY.
• 27:24
  >> WHEN ADAM SINNED, WHEN HE DISOBEYED GOD,
• 27:27
  SIN ENTERED IN THIS WORLD AND HE DIED
• 27:30
  SPIRITUALLY IN THAT MOMENT. HIS SOUL WAS
• 27:33
  SEPARATED FROM GOD AND LEFT HIM unable
• 27:36
  to have A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 27:40
  >> AMEN.
• 27:41
  And listen, THAT'S WHY PEOPLE NEED
• 27:43
  SALVATION IS BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SIN.
• 27:46
  AND THAT SIN BRINGS DEATH AND THEIR SOUL
• 27:49
  WAS SEPARATED FROM GOD. AND THEY'RE
• 27:51
  UNABLE TO COMMUNE WITH GOD, TO HAVE A
• 27:54
  RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, TO WORSHIP GOD,
• 27:57
  AND THAT SOUL MUST BE QUICKENED SO THEY
• 28:00
  CAN BE BROUGHT BACK INTO A RIGHT
• 28:02
  RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. AMEN.
• 28:05
  >> BUT IF AN INDIVIDUAL DIES IN THEIR SIN,
• 28:09
  >> THEIR SOUL'S ALREADY SEPARATED FROM GOD.
• 28:12
  >> THAT'S RIGHT.
• 28:13
  >> AMEN.
• 28:14
  >> THAT'S RIGHT.
• 28:15
  AND SO THEIR SOUL WILL GO TO HELL AND
• 28:18
  SPEND ETERNITY IN A LAKE OF FIRE
• 28:20
  SEPARATED FROM GOD. AMEN. BECAUSE THE
• 28:23
  BIBLE SAID THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDE
• 28:25
  ALREADY ABIDES ON THOSE THAT ARE NOT
• 28:27
  SAVED. How that those WHO ARE NOT SAVED
• 28:29
  ARE CONDEMNED ALREADY. AMEN.
• 28:33
  >> AMEN. NOW, THANK GOD THE RESULT OF BEING
• 28:36
  DELIVERED FROM SIN MEANS WE'RE DELIVERED
• 28:39
  FROM HELL. AND THANK GOD FOR THAT. AMEN.
• 28:41
  YEAH. YEAH.
• 28:42
  >> BUT THE PROBLEM IS SIN THIS MORNING.
• 28:45
  >> THAT'S RIGHT.
• 28:46
  >> AND JESUS SAYS IN THIS TEXT, LOOK WHAT
• 28:49
  HE SAID IN THE TEXT. HE SAID, "VERILY,
• 28:51
  VERY I SAY IN VERSE 34, WHOSOEVER
• 28:53
  COMMITTH SIN IS the servant of sin."
• 28:55
  Now, what's that mean? Hey, LISTEN THAT
• 28:58
  THAT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT AN ISOLATED act
• 29:00
  of sin or but the the the phrase commit
• 29:03
  a sin. He it it h it has the idea of
• 29:06
  living in sin.
• 29:10
  >> LIVING AN OPEN REBELLION TOWARD GOD.
• 29:13
  >> A lifestyle of sin.
• 29:16
  >> THAT'S RIGHT.
• 29:16
  >> NOT NOT NOT MAKING A MISTAKE MESSING UP,
• 29:19
  BUT A CONTINUAL LIFESTYLE OF SIN.
• 29:24
  >> That's right.
• 29:25
  >> Amen.
• 29:25
  >> And he says this. He said, "Whoever that
• 29:28
  committh sin is the servant of sin."
• 29:31
  That word servant CARRIES OUT OF A
• 29:33
  SLAVE. AMEN.
• 29:34
  >> And can I TELL YOU THAT'S WHAT THE IDEA
• 29:36
  OF THIS TEXT IS? THAT SIN BRINGS
• 29:38
  BONDAGE.
• 29:39
  >> YES.
• 29:40
  >> AMEN. You know why people live in sin is
• 29:43
  because they're in bondage to that sin
• 29:46
  >> AND THEY CANNOT ESCAPE THAT BONDAGE.
• 29:48
  >> That's right.
• 29:49
  >> Amen. You know why people are addicted
• 29:51
  to things? It's because they're in
• 29:53
  bondage to sin. And no matter HOW HARD
• 29:57
  THEY TRY, THEY CANNOT BREAK free from
• 30:00
  the CHAINS OF SIN
• 30:01
  >> BECAUSE THAT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE A
• 30:03
  SERVANT OF THAT SIN AND IT HAS THEM
• 30:06
  BOUND AND THEY CANNOT BREAK FREE FROM
• 30:10
  THAT BONDAGE.
• 30:11
  >> AMEN. EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT'S THE ANSWER
• 30:14
  FOR ADDICTION? WHAT'S THE ANSWER FOR
• 30:16
  THIS? I'M TELL YOU WHAT THE ANSWER IS,
• 30:18
  FRIEND. IT'S LISTEN GETTING BORN INTO
• 30:21
  THE FAMILY OF GOD. THE ANSWER IS JESUS
• 30:25
  AND LETTING HIM BREAK THE BONDS OF SIN.
• 30:28
  AMEN.
• 30:28
  >> That's right.
• 30:29
  >> I REMEMBER BEFORE I GOT SAVED, I mean, I
• 30:31
  lived the life of sin. I didn't care
• 30:33
  anything about God. I
• 30:34
  >> I I've done things that my by my

• 32:14
  MEMORIZED. YOU'VE BEEN IN CHURCH LONG
• 32:16
  ENOUGH TO YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, BUT YOU

  STILL IN BONDAGE TO IT.
• 32:23
  >> THAT'S RIGHT.
• 32:24
  >> AMEN, PREACHER.
• 32:25
  >> AMEN.
• 32:26
  >> THAT'S RIGHT.
• 32:26
  >> THAT'S HARD, PREACHER. WELL, LET'S I'm
• 32:28
  Am I out of the Bible?
• 32:30
  >> Amen.
• 32:33
  >> Amen. You see, WHEN YOU GET SAVED OH, I
• 32:35
  GOT TO HURRY. I'M I'm I'm getting ahead
• 32:37
  of myself.
• 32:37
  >> Hey, listen. Notice their destiny was
• 32:40
  exposed. Verse 35. and the servant
• 32:42
  abideth not in the house forever. Jesus
• 32:45
  here gives A PARABLE AND THE idea is of
• 32:47
  a slave that lived in a house and a
• 32:50
  servant or a slave that lived in a house
• 32:52
  and that that servant that slave had no
• 32:55
  right to the inheritance of the family.
• 32:59
  Amen. And you know what the owner of the
• 33:01
  slave or the servant could do? He could
• 33:03
  he could kick them out of the house. He
• 33:05
  could expel them. He could SELL THEM.
• 33:07
  YOU KNOW WHY? BUT AT ANY TIME THEY HAVE
• 33:09
  NO RIGHT TO THE INHERITANCE OF THE
• 33:11
  FATHER'S HOUSE. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE
• 33:14
  THEY WERE A SLAVE.
• 33:17
  >> AND JESUS SAID, HE USES THAT IDEA IN
• 33:19
  VERSE NUMBER 35. AND A SERVANT ABIDETH
• 33:22
  NOT in the house forever, but the son
• 33:25
  abideth forever. You know what he's
• 33:27
  simply saying this? HE HE SAID, YOU HAVE
• 33:29
  NO INHERITANCE TO THE FATHER'S HOUSE.
• 33:32
  And he was tell he tells THEM PREVIOUS
• 33:34
  IN THIS CHAPTER, YOU'LL DIE IN YOUR SIN.
• 33:36
  AMEN. Hear me AND HEAR ME WELL. IF
• 33:39
  YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SET FREE FROM THE
• 33:40
  BONDAGE OF SIN, FOR YOU HAVE NO
• 33:43
  INHERITANCE TO THE FATHER'S HOUSE. AND
• 33:45
  IF YOU DIE WITHOUT GOD, HEY, LISTEN, YOU
• 33:48
  WILL NOT GO TO HEAVEN. YOU WILL NOT HAVE
• 33:51
  ANY INHERITANCE OF THE FATHER'S HOUSEH.
• 33:53
  WHY? BECAUSE LISTEN, YOU ARE A SERVANT
• 33:56
  TO SIN.
• 33:57
  >> THAT'S RIGHT.
• 33:59
  >> AMEN.
• 34:01
  >> Notice in the text, the person that must
• 34:03
  be embraced. Amen. Look what he said.
• 34:05
  The servant abide verse 35. And the
• 34:07
  servant abideth not in the house
• 34:08
  forever, but the son abideth forever. If
• 34:12
  the son therefore, notice the word
• 34:14
  therefore. Amen. And it connects back to
• 34:17
  verse what's said previous. You
• 34:19
  understand that? If the son therefore
• 34:22
  shall make you free. So the son has an
• 34:25
  inheritance to the father's house.
• 34:27
  That's right.
• 34:28
  >> AMEN.
• 34:29
  >> AND THE SON OWNS EVERYTHING THAT THE
• 34:32
  FATHER OWNS. AND AND THE ONLY ONE THAT
• 34:34
  CAN MAKE YOU FREE IS THE SON.
• 34:37
  >> AMEN.
• 34:38
  >> And and IF THAT BE THE CASE, HE SAID
• 34:40
  THERE IF THE SON THEREFORE SHALL MAKE
• 34:42
  YOU FREE, you shall BE FREE INDEED.
• 34:44
  NOTICE THE POSSIBILITY OF FREEDOM in the
• 34:46
  text. He said if. Amen. The word if does
• 34:50
  not suggest any weakness in Christ or
• 34:53
  like he's not able to do it. Amen. He's
• 34:56
  not questioning that that Christ is able
• 34:58
  to set him free. He's just saying it's
• 35:00
  possible for all men to be free. Amen.
• 35:05
  If you are saved, if you have been set
• 35:08
  free by Christ, then you will listen.
• 35:11
  You will have an inheritance with the
• 35:13
  father. You will be set free from the
• 35:15
  bondage of sin. HEY, LISTEN. IT IS A
• 35:17
  POSSIBILITY. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT TELLS
• 35:18
  ME? THAT TELLS ME THAT NOT ALL PEOPLE
• 35:20
  ARE SAVED, BUT ALL PEOPLE CAN be saved.
• 35:24
  >> Right.
• 35:25
  >> That's right.
• 35:26
  >> And I would dare say this morning, not
• 35:27
  all people in here are saved. Yeah, tell
• 35:30
  it, preacher.
• 35:31
  >> Amen.
• 35:33
  >> You say, "Preacher, you don't know
• 35:34
  anything about me." You're right. I
• 35:36
  don't. But I know this. If you're a
• 35:39
  servant of sin, you are yet in your
• 35:41
  sins, and you have never been born again
• 35:44
  by the grace of God.
• 35:47
  >> Amen.
• 35:47
  >> That's right.
• 35:48
  >> And so, listen, in this, there was many
• 35:50
  in this crowd. They they believe some
• 35:52
  things. Amen. You may believe some
• 35:55
  things
• 35:57
  that don't mean you've been saved.
• 36:00
  Are we all right?
• 36:02
  >> ARE WE ALL AROUND TIME? I KNOW WHAT TIME
• 36:03
  Y'ALL. YOU HEY, LISTEN. BUT BUT HEAR ME.
• 36:06
  HEAR ME. BEFORE I GOT SAVED, I KNEW THAT
• 36:08
  JESUS DIED AND WAS BURIED and rose again
• 36:10
  the third day. Heard that my whole life.
• 36:13
  >> I have no problem believing that.
• 36:15
  >> I mean, I'm raising a BIBLE BELT. I I'M
• 36:18
  LISTEN, I And there was not things to
• 36:20
  influence like they are now. There was
• 36:21
  not Facebook and and and and and and all
• 36:24
  these other things. YouTube and all. I
• 36:25
  mean, all I'd ever heard Jesus died and
• 36:27
  buried and rose again. That's all I ever
• 36:28
  heard.
• 36:29
  >> Had no problem believing that.
• 36:33
  >> Amen. Somebody asked me if I believed in
• 36:34
  Jesus. I said, "Absolutely."
• 36:38
  >> Amen.
• 36:39
  >> I mean, I mean, I was not raised in
• 36:40
  church, BUT I'D BEEN I KNEW ENOUGH. I'D
• 36:42
  heard
• 36:44
  >> somebody help me. Amen. Yeah.
• 36:46
  >> But just BECAUSE I UNDERSTOOD THAT, I
• 36:48
  REMEMBER AS A 9-YEAR-OLD BOY, VACATION
• 36:51
  Bible school, I went with some friends
• 36:53
  of mine. THE PREACHER SAID, "EVERYBODY
• 36:54
  WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN, RAISE YOUR HAND."
• 36:56
  >> YEAH.
• 36:58
  >> ABSOLUTELY. Who don't?
• 37:00
  >> Yeah.
• 37:01
  >> Come on, somebody help me. Amen.
• 37:03
  >> And he said, "Everybody wants to go to
• 37:04
  heaven, raise your hand." Raise my hand.
• 37:06
  He said, "ALL RIGHT, COME DOWN TO
• 37:06
  ALTAR." AND I WENT DOWN THE ALTAR. And
• 37:08
  he looked at me and he said, "DO YOU
• 37:09
  BELIEVE JESUS DIED and was buried and
• 37:11
  rose again THE THIRD DAY?" I SAID, "I
• 37:13
  do." He said, "Well, then get up. you're
• 37:15
  saved. Tell everybody.
• 37:19
  >> And I got up and I and and and I went
• 37:22
  around to I I went back home told I got
• 37:24
  saved out of Bible school.
• 37:27
  >> Amen. But here's the problem. I did not
• 37:30
  know why Jesus died.
• 37:37
  >> Amen.
• 37:39
  >> I didn't know. I didn't understand that
• 37:41
  he died for my sin. Right.
• 37:44
  >> I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS MY SIN
• 37:47
  THAT NAILED HIM TO AN OLD RUGGED CROSS.
• 37:49
  I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS GUILTY
• 37:52
  BEFORE A HOLY GOD. AND IT WAS MY SIN
• 37:54
  THAT CRUCIFIED HIM. AND IT WAS MY SIN
• 37:57
  THAT SEPARATED ME FROM GOD. AND IT WAS
• 37:59
  MY SIN THAT BROKE CONDEMNATION. AND IT
• 38:02
  WAS MY SIN WAS A REASON I WAS GOING TO
• 38:04
  HELL. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THAT.
• 38:08
  >> AMEN. I BUT THANK GOD FOR THE DAY WHEN I
• 38:11
  REALIZED WHEN IT WAS MY SIN THAT HUNG
• 38:13
  HIM THERE. WHEN I WAS CONDEMNED, WHEN I
• 38:16
  WAS GUILTY, WHEN IT WAS MY SIN, I
• 38:19
  CRUCIFIED THE SON OF GOD AND I CAME DOWN
• 38:22
  TO ALTER. YOU KNOW WHAT I DID? I
• 38:23
  REPENTED OF MY SIN. AMEN.
• 38:28
  >> AMEN.
• 38:29
  >> That's right. Everybody repent. You know
• 38:31
  what? Listen, if you really want to get
• 38:33
  saved and God showed you, you're you'll
• 38:36
  naturally turn from sin. Yeah, right.
• 38:39
  >> Because you understand it was sin that
• 38:41
  crucified him.

  I was working construction. I was in
• 42:32
  South Carolina.
• 42:33
  And God had delivered me. I was I was a
• 42:35
  drunk. I was a drug addict. I mean, all

  said, "Let's order a beer. Want to order
• 42:56
  an alcoholic beverage." And I said, "No,

  no, no. God saved me. I have no desire
• 43:01
  for that. Don't want him.
• 43:02
  >> Please don't look down on me."
• 43:05
  >> He kept on. He kept on and kept on.
• 43:07
  young people, you better be careful who

  you run with.
• 43:10
  >> Are you hearing me?

  >> Yeah.

  >> He kept on and kept on and I I ordered

  yesterday.
• 43:20
  The pizza joint in Greenwood, South

• 45:07
  I'VE BEEN SET FREE.
• 45:09
  >> And that is the greatest
• 45:12
  >> day of independence.
• 45:14
  my life. Here's the question this
• 45:17
  morning. Have you ever had a day like
• 45:19
  that?
• 45:22
  Have you ever been set free from a
• 45:23
  bondage of sin?
• 45:25
  Or if you died, would you die in your
• 45:29
  sin?
• 45:32
  And if you do, friend, you will be
• 45:34
  separated
• 45:35
  from God. Have I preached the Bible this
• 45:38
  morning?
• 45:40
  >> Amen. Yes.
• 45:42
  >> And I tell I tell you what concerns me.
• 45:44
  There's there's not a doubt in my mind.
• 45:45
  There's people here that are not saved.
• 45:49
  >> They doubt my mind. Say, "Preacher, you
• 45:51
  shouldn't say that." Well, I don't think
• 45:53
  God would have me to preach a message
• 45:56
  like this to the pews.
• 46:00
  And it doubt my mind there's people here
• 46:02
  not saved.
• 46:04
  Amen.
• 46:06
  Two things.
• 46:08
  If you know for sure that you are saved,
• 46:11
  you should be broken.
• 46:17
  Because there's people here not. Amen.
• 46:20
  And if you're here and you're not saved,
• 46:23
  you don't have to lead that way.
• 46:25
  You can get saved today. You can get
• 46:28
  born again today. Get freed from
• 46:31
  bondage. Amen. Let's bow our head for a
• 46:32
  word of prayer. I'm gonna pray. I try to
• 46:34
  preach everything. I try to preach every
• 46:36
  I try to preach so many other things,
• 46:38
  but God the Holy Ghost kept bringing me
• 46:40
  back this text, this message this
• 46:42
  morning.
• 46:45
  And I want I wonder if you're here and
• 46:46
  you're not saved. I wonder if you died
• 46:48
  right now. Are you satisfied? Are you
• 46:51
  satisfied you'll be in heaven? Are you
• 46:54
  satisfied, friend, that you're saved
• 46:55
  today? And ain't nobody looking around
• 46:57
  but me and the Lord. I wonder I wonder
• 46:59
  who'd be the first one to say,
• 47:01
  "Preacher, I'm not saved. If I died
• 47:03
  right now, I'd go to hell. I realize
• 47:06
  that I've I've never been set free from
• 47:08
  my sin. I am not saved. Pray for me.
• 47:10
  Would you just slip your hand up? Say,
• 47:11
  "Preacher, pray for me. I won't
• 47:12
  embarrass you when I come to you." I
• 47:14
  will pray for you, preacher. I am not
• 47:16
  saved. Let me pray for you this morning.
• 47:18
  Would there be one somewhere in the
• 47:20
  building?
• 47:22
  Would there be one?
• 47:28
  How about this? I'm done. I'm I'm I'm
• 47:30
  going to pray. We're going to give an
• 47:32
  invitation.
• 47:34
  How many with the uplift in a hand say,
• 47:36
  "Preacher, I know beyond a shadow of a
• 47:38
  doubt that my name's written in heaven."
• 47:42
  And you can raise your hand real high
• 47:43
  and say, "Preacher, I know that I know
• 47:46
  that I know that I know." Raise them
• 47:48
  real high if you know beyond a shadow of
• 47:49
  a doubt that you're saved today. Ain't
• 47:52
  no doubt in your mind that you know God.
• 47:54
  AIN'T NO DOUBT IN YOUR mind that you're
• 47:56
  going to heaven. RAISE THEM REAL HIGH,
• 47:57
  FRIEND. IF YOU KNOW THAT, YOU WAVE THEM
• 48:00
  TO THE LORD. IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW
• 48:03
  THAT YOU KNOW, WAVE THEM LIKE YOU MEAN
• 48:05
  IT. WAVE THEM LIKE YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR
• 48:07
  IT. THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU
• 48:09
  KNOW THAT YOU'RE SAVED.
• 48:12
  Thank God. You can put them down.
• 48:16
  Here's what I noticed.
• 48:18
  Some of you can't do that today.
• 48:22
  And what I beg of you
• 48:27
  is that you would come get in this
• 48:29
  altar.
• 48:30
  Let somebody take a Bible. Show you how
• 48:33
  you can get saved today.
• 48:35
  Get transformed.
• 48:38
  Father, thank you for the privilege to
• 48:39
  be in the house of God. Thank you for
• 48:40
  the word of God. And I pray dear God in
• 48:43
  heaven that you'll touch hearts. Lord, I
• 48:44
  beg you please for those that are not
• 48:47
  saved. God, I'm begging you. Please God,
• 48:51
  I pray the spirit of God, Lord, no doubt
• 48:54
  you already have arrested their soul
• 48:58
  and revealed to them that they are not
• 49:02
  they are not saved.
• 49:04
  God, I pray
• 49:07
  that the power of God
• 49:10
  would draw them and I pray God in heaven
• 49:13
  that they would not resist you today.
• 49:14
  Lord, I pray they'd run to you and get
• 49:17
  saved. moving the invitation. Bind the
• 49:19
  forces of hell. Remove every obstacle.
• 49:21
