• 0:01
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word, clearly explained.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_01: Together with our host, Johann Tuit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_01: Ready to take notes?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_01: Let's open the Bible.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: Hi there and welcome to a new episode of One Gospel.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Johan Tut, and as always, I am excited to share the Word of God with you.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: I started this series called Heart Matters, and man, it already has a huge been a huge blessing for me and for others.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: And we have spoken about the heart of the gospel, one of the topics that I'm gonna use in this series, or that I'm not gonna use, that I'm gonna cover in this series.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: And I've been sharing on you know how the lineage, you know, the genealogy of uh Christ, you know, how that was fit together with you know a lot of broken people and a lot of bad situations, but yet God used them all for the Redeemer to come to pass, and um so uh that was very interesting, but you could see the heart of the Father because he was just looking at the heart of each and every person in whom he would continue the redemption plan, and uh it's so beautiful if you're really gonna study on that, because the heart of the gospel is love, the heart of the gospel is grace, and the heart of the gospel is mercy, and that is what God had, even you know, in the old covenant, where a lot of people think that God is an angry God and He's punishing people and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the law that God gave is an instrument of love, and uh, I will share um in a different series on that, but just to know that you know God did whatever he did so that Jesus could come to pass and we all could be saved, amen.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's in a nutshell, and so um man, we have spoken spoken about how God in Christ Jesus has restored us and into communion with him, oneness with him, how we are being brought back into the garden, back into this community, this oneness with God, and his spirit can be in us, and we can be in him, all because of the gospel of the kingdom of God that Jesus came to preach and came to fulfill the work that God has sent him to do, gave himself as an offering for you and for me as a sacrifice, and you know, and he delivered us from slavery, and then he had set us free and gave us the free will whether we're gonna serve him or not.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: And that was really uh beautiful, and so um, and this is the heart of the Father for you know the whole world.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: The heart of the gospel is the heart of the Father for the whole world, which is in 2 Peter 3:9, it says that God doesn't want anyone to perish, but at all should come to repentance.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this word perish means to be lost, to you know, to disappear into a place where God is not.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't want anyone to perish, that anybody will be lost, but it all should come to repentance, so they may receive life and dead in abundance, they may they may receive this Zoe life, this spiritual and eternal life in Christ Jesus, which they can walk out in this life and in the life to come, amen.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: And so, with that, God gives us a hope and a future.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a life without hope is not life, and he gave us hope.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: We have hope, amen, which is an anchor for our soul.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: And so, today I want to continue in the heart of the gospel, but then from a different angle, a different aspect of the gospel, because of course the gospel is very broad, very wide, and you can share a lot on it.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: You know, how we should preach the gospel of the kingdom, you know, and how the gospel of the kingdom declares the finished work of Christ, you know, how we are saved by grace through faith, you know, and this is the gospel, and that is what we need to preach, that He is the only way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by Him, and so on and so forth.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: But this aspect that I want to cover, you know, in today's episode and maybe in the next, um, is you know, the heart of the gospel in the sense of the calling, the command that God gives us as his children to walk out in this world, his heart to be translated into our hearts, into our actions and the way we walk and talk.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: And so, the heart of the gospel is that we will become to walk as he is in this world.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: So, Father God, thank you so much for this teaching, and I pray that it will really bless people.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: And um, thank you for your Holy Spirit.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: I give you all the praise in Jesus' mighty name.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Before I'm gonna go to this study, I just wanted to remind you about this book, The God of Restoration.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: You can get it physically, you can you can get it as a um, you can download it on your phone or your tablet.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's for free, but it's a it's it is the love letter from God to us mankind, you know, and you can see the whole way that God, from the beginning of creation until you know the day that Jesus comes to pick us up, or we are going to be with the Lord, you know, how He restored everything for us, and we can now be completely free and walk in this newness of life, amen.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's really a beautiful book.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: It goes along with the Heart Matter series, it's not the same content, but it's the same heartbeat, amen.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: And you see, if you really want to see the heart of the Father, you can find it in that book also, The God of Restoration.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: You can really truly see the heart of the Father being revealed to you, and so that's really awesome.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Anyways, um, I just wanted to bless you guys with that.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: Now, uh Jesus says in John 15, verse 14, he says, You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: You know, in John 14, 21 he says, If you if you uh have my commands and keep them, it is he who loves them, who loves me.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: So if you have my commands and we have his commands, and we keep them.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: So not not keep them, having them and not keeping them, but having them and keep them, it is he who loves me.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's what Jesus says here.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: So it's of a huge importance for Jesus, huge importance that we do his will and his works.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: He says in John, uh sorry, in Luke 6.46, he says, Why are you calling me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Is it so hard for you to say that you are calling me your Lord and that you surrendered your life to me, and that you accepted me as your savior and your rabbi, your teacher?
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: And then is it so hard for you to obey me and do what I tell you to do?
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: Why are you calling me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Man, that that verse just struck me like lightning when I read it like years ago.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: It just bam became a revelation on me that he doesn't only expect us to believe in him as the savior, but he also expects us to follow him as his disciples and be obedient to his commands and instructions and his ways.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Man, it doesn't make any sense to acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Savior and don't make him also Lord and Master of your life.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you just receive him as a savior, it doesn't make any sense.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: Why wouldn't you want to know him, obey him, follow him, and trust him, who have saved you from eternity and washed your sins away, made you a complete new creation, blotted out your old sin nature?
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: And why wouldn't you want to know that know him and follow him and obey him?
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: Ephesians 2 verse 10, let's go there.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Ephesians 2 verse 10.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, you that's in the new covenant.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I'm already here, and then I still have to find what I will be saying here.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm already there, and so I mix and scramble things up.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: Ephesians 2, verse 10.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Here it says, for we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Now let me tell that again.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: What kind of workmanship are we?
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: What are we created in Christ Jesus?
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: We are created in Christ Jesus as his workmanship for good works.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: Good works.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I know that a lot of people already start thinking, oh, I don't need to work, it's all grace, you know, I don't get what I deserve, otherwise I turn into the pile of ash.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, 100%.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: You are saved by grace.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: The only thing you have to do is believe.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: But now the Bible also says in Luke 3.8, you know, that you need to uh, you know, have bear fruits according to your repentance.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and then Jesus shows us and teaches us as this perfect school example how we should walk in this planet.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: And then for you to say that, you know, yes, I'm a Christian, but you don't do what he says, you don't, you don't put work into the things that you say that you believe, you don't show that works, good works, not works of the law, works of faith, works of obedience because you love him, you trust him, and you want to follow him and you surrender to him.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you don't do that, then it doesn't it just doesn't make any sense.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't make any sense to be lukewarm and don't do nothing when you become a child of the living God, when you become a disciple of Jesus.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: He says he has created us in Christ Jesus for good works, and that God prepared beforehand those works that we should walk in them.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: So what does he ask from us?
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: That we walk in the works that he has prepared.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: And he shows that through his word, constantly, through the gospels, teach Jesus is teaching us constantly do this, do that, go like this, don't know.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: If you do this, then this, and if you do like that, don't that.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I he already prepared all those works.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: You just have to walk in them in obedience and faith.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and so good works is among other things to love and to serve one another.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's a very, very important aspect of the gospel, and it is the core of the heart of the gospel that we should love one another, because the gospel of the kingdom is a gospel of love, it's a gospel of unconditional love, it is a gospel of unmerited favor, it is a gospel of grace, glorious grace.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's a good news gospel, amen.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: And so, and the gospel is not some selfish message in where you only get the benefits for yourself, and you only do and keep that all for yourself.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: You accept Jesus as your Savior, and then you're gonna look what the benefits are for yourself, and then you just want to receive those benefits, and you just you know keep it all for yourself.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: You don't share it with nobody, you don't tell your neighbor, you don't tell your wife, you don't tell your husband, you don't tell your children, you don't tell your colleagues, you tell you, you tell nobody, you keep this all for yourself.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: That is a selfish attitude.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: That is not the character that God has given you when you accept the Jesus as Lord and Savior.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm telling you, my brother, my sister, whoever you are, if you keep this for yourself, what God has given you in grace, and you don't share that with the world, you don't shout it from the rooftops, you're not a witness, you don't testify.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: Man, you should be ashamed, I'm telling you.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus says, if you are ashamed of me with men, then I'm gonna be ashamed of you before the angels and before God.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's strong language, but you know, it's just like, how can you be ashamed from the love of your life?
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: He is the love of your life.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so you could not you should not be ashamed of that.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: And you should truly show that you are belonging to Jesus in your way you walk, you talk, you act, and the way that you share this with the world and love on people and all that stuff.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the gospel doesn't only teach how we ourselves are redeemed, but it also teaches us, you know, how we are expected to care for the other and to make a difference in this world because there is something completely changed in your nature the moment that you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: 2 Corinthians 5 17 says, therefore, well it's somewhere, therefore, let us go there to 2 Corinthians 5.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: 2 Corinthians 5.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: Look what it says here in verse 16, before we read 17, therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation, but just look go to 16.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: 16 says, therefore, so it's also somewhere for, therefore, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, all things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: Now I can stick around in 2 Corinthians 5 17, but you know it's very interesting what it says in the verse before verse 17.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: Because we use this verse a lot.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, Jesus is a new creation, all things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, we love it.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: We shall shout hallelujah.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: But wait a second.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: In verse 16 it says, Therefore, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: You know, because we are a new creation, because we are a new man, because we have this new nature that is holy, pure, and righteous and blameless before God in love, because we receive the heart of Christ, because we are as he is in this world, we should not know anybody anymore according to the flesh.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm telling you, there are a lot of Christians in this world that only know people according to the flesh.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: This person is not good, that person is not good.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: Did you see this?
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: Did you hear that?
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know that?
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, did you hear?
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, they were rejoicing if somebody falls on their face, if a pastor falls on his face or whatever, they are just rejoicing.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: Did you see it?
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: Did you hear it?
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: La la, you know, and that guy, man, no, that guy is not of God, man.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: That's impossible.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: Look what he does, and blah blah blah.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: And we are judging and cramming and complaining and you know, and gossiping and all that stuff, you know, and we just you know value people according to where they are standing on their faith ladder, where they're standing in their process with the Lord, and that's among Christians.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not even yet there where the way they look at the world, because they judge the world constantly.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: Well, Jesus says that he didn't come to judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: So if he didn't come to judge the world, who are you then to judge the world?
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: Who are you?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: Who made you the God of this world?
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: Who made you the judge?
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: That you judge others because they're living in sin, because they are broken, because they are lost like sheep, weary and scattered, and all everybody going his own way because they have lost direction, they just don't know where to go.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's their nature that that that that causes them to do whatever they do.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: They're you know, they're completely immersed in their sin life because they have no, there is no idea or no concept of another life.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I never knew about another life until I met Jesus.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: I I thought it was completely normal what I did, because that's the way I was raised, that's the way that I saw that the world was, and that's the way that I did.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and so God loves each and every person on this planet so much that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: And he did not send his son into the world so that he could condemn the world.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: He wasn't hanging on the cross, you bunch of sinners, I hang you because you made such a mess of it.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: No, he was telling and showing us how precious we are for him, how much he loves us, he loves us.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: God is love, God is love, and he expects you to love the same way as that he loves the world.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: He expects you, and you can do that because you now are a new creation.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: You are a new creation, you are now born of God, you have his very nature dwelling inside of you.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: 1 Thessalonians 5.23 says that we have a spirit, soul, and a body, and your spirit has been made identical to the nature of God.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: Identical, same nature, and that nature has been sealed with the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1.13, so that sin cannot penetrate and contaminate that nature, and that nature itself can never sin, can never hate, despise, can never be depressed or sick or whatever.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: That we're talking about your born-again spirit, who you truly are.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: Your true self is in who you are in your born-again spirit, and then from your spirit, you are able to walk exactly the same way that Jesus walked in this planet.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: Love the way he loves, forgive the way he lives, forgives.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: You know, just man, something changed.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: You were lost, but now you are found, you were a slave, but now you are a son, you were carnal, and now you are a spiritual being, and you still can be carnal, it's a choice.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: But we know what the the fruit of carnality is, is death, and the fruit of spiritual spiritual life is peace and life.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's what it says in Ephesians.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: No, sorry, in Romans, Romans 8.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: And so you were darkness, but now you are light, and your heart has become the heart of the Father, it has completely changed.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go to Ephesians 4.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: Ephesians 4.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: Here in Ephesians 4, verse 24, it says that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: If we read this in the Amplified or in another translation, like the NIV, I believe, but I think the Amplified is the best way to say it.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: It says that you put on the new man that is that was created in Christ Jesus according to the image and the likeness of God, is what it says.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: And you are created in true righteousness.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: The only righteousness that we need to come into the presence of the Father is the righteousness of God Himself.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: To be innocent, declared innocent in his sight, decaio.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: And holiness, true righteousness and true holiness.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_00: Not your holiness based on your work and performance and your own good doing, but the holiness that you receive the moment you become a child of the living God, and you are declared holy, pure, and blameless in his sight.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: But you have to put on that new man.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_00: How do you put on?
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_00: How do you put it on?
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: In Ephesians 4.22, that you put off concerning your former conduct, the old man, which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lust, that selfish, egoistic, self-centered old man that only thought about himself, me, myself, and I, and wasn't capable of love people the way that God loves them without wanting anything back for it.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: And then be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: So this is the key.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: The key is that by the renewing of your mind with the word of God, you can put off the old and put on the new.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: The new that you already are in Christ Jesus, you already have the heart of the Father.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: You already have the nature of God, you already are a child of God, born of God.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: You already, your identity is already Son of God, in whom He is well pleased.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's who you already are, you already have that nature.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_00: In John 4 17, Jesus the word says that as he is, as Jesus is, so are we in this world.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: Now, spiritually, that is 100% true.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: But I always ask people when I say this verse, you know, is that true for you, the way that you walk, act, and talk?
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: Is your heart the same as he is when he was in this world?
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: Man, you have to look at Jesus.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: Look, let's go to uh Matthew 9 35.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Matthew 9 35.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: I've got a lot to share on this, but I'm sure it will bless the people.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: Matthew 9 35.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: And so here it says that Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, he was always on the move, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: And when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were wary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: Man, you see, Jesus was constantly moved with compassion, he was constantly involved with the people, he saw the need of men, and it really touched him deeply.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: Look what it says in Luke 7, verse 12.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: Luke 7, verse 12.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just gonna take some verses where we can underline what I'm stating here.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_00: Luke 7 verse 12.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: And when he came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: And she was a widow, and a large crowd from the city was with her.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, Do not weep.
• 22:58
