  SPEAKER_01: Hi there, and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_01: I am your host, Jovan Toot, and as always, I am excited to share the word of God with you.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I've started this series, Hard Matters, and it really has been a blessing already for me and for many other people, and there are some amazing things that I've been covering and teaching on.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: And I really want to encourage you to go back to the first episode and just watch the whole series because we are building up something, amen.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: But basically, um I have um cut the series in little pieces, like three or four pieces, um, and that is because I want to I want to go into different aspects of hard matters, and I started with the heart of the gospel, and in the first uh few episodes I shared on you know how you know God always worked with us through grace.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, even even in the old covenant, you know, he was just walking with us in grace and in this unconditional love that he is, and he always wanted the best for us, and then finally, when Jesus came to pass in the fullness of the time, he restored us in himself unto God, and so we became of royalty, we became of royal uh lineage uh because we are now children of the king of kings, amen.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: And we are kings, and he is the king of kings, and we are heirs of the kingdom of God, and so we are now of royalty, amen.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: And so um I've shared all on that, and then basically I went through another aspect of the heart of the gospel, which is um that God calls us to walk as he walks in this world, that Jesus asks from us that as he is, that we are as he is in this world, and that not only spiritually being his children, but showing the world that we are his children and that we belong to him.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I have shown from the word of God that God is love, and I've shown from the word of God, you know, how Jesus constantly had compassion on people, was moved with compassion, he was uh stirred within with emotions, you know, he wept when he saw Mary and Martha, you know, and he, you know, he felt compassion when people had nothing to eat and they were hungry, you know, and Jesus was always there, constantly, you know, uh being connected with the people and feeling them and then meeting their need, you know, whatever that was.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: And so, and and then he gave us this cool example of how we should walk in this world and how we should love in this world.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: And then I shared on how God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, and how we are now born of God, and we are a new creation, and we shouldn't know people anymore after the flesh, but we should know them after the spirit, and we should see the people with the eyes of God, of Jesus, and we should love the people with the love of God, the same love.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: And I showed from the word of God, based on uh Matthew 22, verse 37 until 39, and then Deuteronomy 6.5 and Leviticus 19, verse 18, where it says those same commandments, but the word therefore love is a different word than is used in the new covenant.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: In the new covenant, it's talking about God's unconditional agape love, and that we now are able to love each other and to love the others with the same unconditional love that God loves us.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I have shared some amazing stuff.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: I really want you to go back to that, uh, you know, to listen to it, and then you know, I have been recommending my book, uh The God of Restoration, which is a love letter of the Lord, you know how we from the beginning of creation until the day that He comes to pick us up, or when we are gonna go and be with Him, you know how He made everything ready for us, you know, who we are in Christ Jesus, all because of the grace, all because of the love, all because of the goodness of God.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: And so God's heart, you know, if you talk about heart matters, God's heart has really been revealed in this book.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: And I really want to encourage you to get your free copy in the link below and uh let me hear what you thought of it.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: And so, Father God, thank you so much for this teaching.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you for who you are, thank you for your unconditional love, thank you for your grace and your favor.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you just for the fact that you are our daddy and we are your children, and you love us so much and you teach us to love others.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: Father, give you all the praise and all the glory in the mighty name of Jesus.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: And so, as I said in the previous episode, you know, I just shared my heart, which is his heart, concerning the heart of the gospel, where he expects from us and commands us that we would love one another the same way as he has loved us, that we should walk in love, act in love, and all those things.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: And so I went through this Bible verse in uh Luke 6.27, you know, uh love your enemies and to do good to those who hate you, and all this kind of stuff, you know, and then in verse 31 he says, uh, just as man wants you to do, uh, just as men, just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise, so that you're gonna treat others the way that you want to be treated, and you have to really, you know, I mean, write it down for yourself.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: How do I want to be treated by others?
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: And like be really honest with yourself, and then that way you should treat others, that way you should treat others, and then Jesus says, He says, a new commandment I give you, and that is that you love one another as I have loved you.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: You should love one another.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_01: And man, I went deep on that because that really, you know, blows your socks off if you think about it, you know, that this this the way that Jesus loved us, he gave himself for us.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: He gave himself for the whole world.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: And he died a horrific death, and then went into the grave, into death and the grave, you know, been there for three days preaching the gospel to those who are bound there, you know, and then he did all that, the suffering, the rejection, the humiliation, the pain, and so on and so forth.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: He did all that because he loves us out of love, and the same way that he laid down his deity, laid down his majesty, took off his divinity, became man, took on the form of a bondservant, of a slave, and became equal to man, and then humiliated himself and became obedient to death, even to the death at the cross.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: The same way that he did that out of love for you and me, we should love one another.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: If somebody stripped himself from everything that he was so that he could become like us, so that we could become like him, you know, it was Jesus, right?
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: And he says, Listen, with this same kind of love that I've been loving you all the time, and I've been giving myself for you, and I've done all that for you, and I've brought this sacrifice for you, the same way that God loved you so much that he gave me to go and die in your place, that same way you should love one another.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: And that is mind-blowing, man.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: That's life-changing.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: If you really, really, you know, really understand this, and you can never, you know, go wrong any again.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: If you if you understand this and you're gonna walk with that, you know, I'm telling you, if we do not walk with a heart full of compassion and we are not moved with love for this fallen world, and we only focus on the works itself, you know, that I'm healing the sick and I'm casting out the demons and I'm raising the dead, and I'm doing this, and I'm doing that, but there is no focus and there's no heart motivation, there's no love and compassion that that that that that that that drives you, that you know, that moves you, you know, then you are not really translating the true heart of the gospel.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: You are not really translating the true heart of the Father.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: And then you really miss what it's all about.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: If you are just focusing on the works itself and what you can do for God, and you know, and how you are then amazing, give yourself a tap on the shoulder, you know, and look at me.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if you are only focusing, you know, on all the things that you can do for God, but you forget to love, the real motivation, the reason why you are doing what you're doing, you miss it.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: You miss the whole point, you miss the heart of the gospel.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: God is not interested in all your good works.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_01: Now I know it sounds contradictionary, if that's a word.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's like it looks like it's contradicting, you know, what the word of God says, because God says that we are called to do good works, you know, that he has prepared, you know, for us, and that we are called, you know, to do works of faith and all this kind of stuff.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, that's true.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: But he's not interested in your works, actions, he's not interested in what you can do for him, he is interested in your heart.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: And so, yes, do those works, but then with that heart that he gave you, and not with a heart of pride, self-righteousness, self-centeredness, you know, and all that stuff, you know, or just to gain whatever you can gain, you know, it's all in your own interest.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: God sees your heart, and so whatever you're gonna do, and however you're gonna walk, and however you're gonna talk, you make sure that your heart is right, otherwise that work would be in vain.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: There is no reward for that kind of work because you know it's like giving to God.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: How many people give to God out of obligation?
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: How many people give their offering because they feel they need to?
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody's standing up to go to the altar.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: If I'm gonna remain seated, then they're gonna think that I'm that I'm cheap, you know.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, when you give out of obligation, you throw in a two few coins and all that kind of stuff, your heart is not there.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: Do you think that God is gonna bless one penny of that kind of money that you have been given to God?
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: He is not interested in your money, he's not interested in your wallet, he is interested in your heart.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you giving me money?
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: Is it to honor me, bless me, and worship me, and to show me that you trust me instead of what you have?
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: If it's to show me that you acknowledge me as your source of the 100% that you have, that you give 10% of that back to me and just say thank you for the 90% that you have blessed me with?
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Is it because your heart is to worship the living God who is your provider?
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Or is it because yeah, I need to give, you know, and just let me throw in a few coins.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: You know?
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: That money, forget.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: There's no seed, there is no blessing on it, there's nothing there.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: God didn't even receive that offering.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: He threw it in the back, a bucket, but God didn't receive that offering because it was not giving with the right heart.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: He sees your heart.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: Look what it says in 1 Samuel 16, verse 7.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: The Lord does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: He looks at your heart.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: So people may say, Oh, look what he's doing, man.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man, this guy is so amazing, he's busy non-stop for the kingdom of God.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: Look what a man, oh, look how the works, look at what a great guy! Look how he's giving everything away, and bloody, bloody bloody.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: Look how he's doing all that stuff.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: But if your heart is not right, you the people might not see, but God sees it and he says, He is doing nothing.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: All this outward appearance, but he's doing nothing because his heart is not right.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: Man, this is serious, serious stuff.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you doing what you do, and with what kind of heart are you doing it?
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: What is your true motivation?
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: What is your true motivation?
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go quickly to 1 Corinthians 13.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: 1 Corinthians 13.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_01: In 1 Corinthians 14, verse 1, the first thing I see is pursue love.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: Pursue love.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's all about love.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: And so 1 Corinthians 13, verse 1, I will read until verse 3.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: This is the greatest gift.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: Though I speak with the tongue of men and have and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding breasts or a clanging cymbal.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: Let me just read that again.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: Even though I speak in all this beautiful, you know, ki a lamando, re que bo padia la manda, but I have not love.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: You speak all these different languages, you know, like you fala Portuguese, yo hablo español, you speak English, he speak Nederlands, you speak in the climate in Deutsch, and I speak in all those languages, but I have not love.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: Then it's just becoming sounding breast or a clanging symbol.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's awful to listen at for God.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all the faith so that I could remove mountains, but I have not love, I am nothing.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_01: I am nothing, is what Paul says.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: And you can have, I know prophets, man.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: They pool, they are treated like true kings, man.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: Whoa, they come with their, you know, all the escort, you know, protocol, and they go inside and they reach your email and they read your pin code.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: And I think, why should a prophet need to reach your email and your pin code?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: What does that help me?
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: That you know my pin code and my email, amen.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: That's not prophecy.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: But nevertheless, you know, let everybody play his little game.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm not we I don't want to want to be judgmental, just have my own opinion about it.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, but they they're just puffed up, you know, they are puffed up and they're carried on hands, you know, and honored, and they're really puffed up, you know.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: But the way they prophesy over people, there is no love.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: There is, you know, I'm looking down on you, I know it better than you, I'm speaking as the mouth of God.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: That's not, you know, New Testament prophecy, man.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: Please stop it.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: And it says, if I even have the gift of prophecy and if I understand all the mysteries and all the knowledge, I know the Bible from left to right and from right to left, you know, and I am one of these theologians that know everything, every word that it says, and what it means in the Greek and Hebrew, and so on and so forth.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: And though I have all the faith that I can move mountains, that I can do the impossible, that I can do, that I'm that I have that faith that I can really do everything that God says that I can do, but I have not love.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: I am not loving, I'm not moved by love.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: I'm it's and it's not my drive.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not driven by love, I'm not motivated by love.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: I am not on the move, walking because of the love of God that's in my heart, that poured out in my heart, that motivates me to do what I'm doing, to go where I'm going, to be what I am.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if it's not love that pushes me, drives me, you know, I don't know how you say that, but just launches me into what I'm doing.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: If it's not love, then I am nothing.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_01: This is what Paul says.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: I am nothing, I am nothing.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: And though I bestow all my goods to defeat the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but I have not love, it profits me nada, niente zero, capiche, nothing, nothing.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: This is serious stuff, man.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: It's all about the unconditional love of God the Father and the Son within us that we should do what we do, be what we are, act as we act, speak what we speak.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Your motivation always has to be good, man.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: We give away over 50,000 food parcels every year.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: We give thousands and thousands of sandwiches to the homeless.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: We are reaching people that are in true need all over the world.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: And we give away, I mean, everything you can imagine, you know, motorcycles, cars, sewing machines, refrigerators, microwaves, whatever.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: We give everything away.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: But if I would have not love in my heart, the love of the Father, the love of Jesus within my heart, if I wouldn't operate from the heart of God, then it would profit me nothing, and I would be nothing, because God is in the heart matters.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that's some deep serious stuff, man.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: Don't love and work self-centered to score, to be good enough for God.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: Do it because of the love for God and the love of people around you, because you can be the light in the world, because you have received the privilege to make a difference in this world because of who you are as a child of the living God.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_01: Not self-centered, you know, just like selfless, completely selfless.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Just because you can be a blessing, because you are called to be a blessing.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: I will bless you and you shall be a blessing.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, just for you to go out and be a blessing to others, to be generous to others, to share, to give, to just, you know, just be, you know, who he says that you are, and you can do that because he has poured his love into your heart.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: You are now born of God, and so you can walk as God.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: Not as creator of heaven and earth, but you know, as God in the flesh, as Jesus walked on this planet, you know.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: You can walk like him, exactly like this.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_01: You you you can present a living God to a dying world.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: It matters to Jesus that we have compassion, it matters to Jesus that we make a difference in this world.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's why he called us.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, also to be his children, but and also to be his copies, be he imitators.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: As well, beloved children, imitate and copy their father.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_01: Man, this is beautiful, this is really beautiful.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go to Matthew 5, verse 1.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: Because if I'm gonna continue too long on this, I'm gonna cry like a little baby, I'm telling you.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: Because, you know, it's just like the the heartbeat, the passion of Jesus is so strong, you know.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: His anointing, you know, it's his love.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_01: Man, the beautitudes.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Matthew 5, verse 1, and seeing the multitudes, he went up on a mountain, and when he was seated, his disciples came to him.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: Then he opened his mouth and he was starting to teach, he taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are the peacemakers, they shall be called sons of God.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of God.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are you when they revile and persecute and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my name's sake.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_01: You are the salt of the earth.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: But if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: It is then good for nothing but then to be thrown and trampled underfoot by man.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: You are the light of the world.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: A city is set on a hill and cannot a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stamp, and it stands, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_01: Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: And Jesus is he says, You are the light.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: You are the light.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_01: He is coined, pointing out constantly the meek, the merciful, the peacemakers.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: All blessed.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_01: Blessed are those who are pure in heart.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: That has this heart that Jesus has given them.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: And walk by that heart, not by their own heart that is seared with an iron that has become fat.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: But with this new heart, he says, I will pull out your stony heart, and I will give you a heart of the flesh.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: A heart that is filled with compassion and love and understanding.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, people who you know who re who renounce themselves, who how you say that?
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: They are persecuted and they can bear this persecution because of his namesake.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: And he says, You are the light.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: Let your light shine, so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: Good works is making the difference in this world because of who you are as a Son of God, because as a disciple of Jesus.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: You know, in Matthew 17, 7.17 it talks about.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: I'm already there, so let's go there anyway.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: Matthew 7, 17, it says that let me see, let me read in verse 16.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: You will know them by their fruits.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_01: A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_01: Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_01: Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name, and done many wonders in your name?
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: And then I will declare to them, I never knew you.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: Man, there is a lot to say, and I don't have the time to cover this in this episode anymore.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_01: But first of all, you know, we can recognize if somebody is with God or somebody is not with God, because those who love know God and walk with God.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: And so by their fruits, we can recognize the tree, the roots.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_01: And it's not about you saying, Lord, Lord, you know, and and and doing all these works for him.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's about your love.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's about, first of all, the will of the Father that you believe in the Son whom we have sent.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_01: That's the will of the Father.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's the first thing that you believe in his Son, not in your own righteousness, but in Him and His sacrifice.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_01: That you acknowledge that you need a Lord and a Savior in your life because you are doomed to be to be perish forever if you know you do not repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's that is, you know, to know him and do the will of the Father.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_01: But then also to do those works, but do them because of love.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: Otherwise, it profits you nothing.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's what Jesus says here, man.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_01: It's the gospel is a hard matter.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's about your heart, it's about your heart, it's about your heart.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_01: Man, my time is up, but Jesus says, you know, I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, you know, I was naked, you have clothed me, I was a stranger and you have received me.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: I was in prison and you visited me and I was sick and you came to me.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_01: And then they say, the righteous say, but when did we do that?
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: And he said, If you do this to one of the least of my brother, then you have done this to me.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus says that if we help people with his love and his compassion, we do it unto him.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_01: What better thing than do it unto him?
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: I want to do good to my Lord, I want to be selfless, I want to have heart for the people, I want to walk as the way that Jesus walks, acts as he acts, do what he does.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: I want to walk, you know, exactly as my Lord and as my Savior.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: And I can walk as my Lord and my Savior because I've received his nature, I've received his heart as he is.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: So am I in this world?
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a born-again creation, newborn creation.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_01: I am a new man in Christ Jesus, and I'm able to love with his unconditional love that God has poured into my heart by the Holy Spirit.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: I am as he is in this world.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that is a hard matter.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_01: The gospel is a hard matter.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_01: I truly pray that you are blessed.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_01: I had a lot more to cover, but I really need to close this episode, and then we will go and see what God will do in the next episode.
