- 0:06of the day for applying God's word to
- 0:08your life so let's huddle up and hear
- 0:10today's play from Matthew 3 which says
- 0:13"When he saw many of the Pharisees and
- 0:15Sadducees coming to where he was
- 0:17baptizing he said to them "You brood of
- 0:19vipers who warned you to flee from the
- 0:22coming wrath produce fruit in keeping
- 0:25with repentance and do not say to
- 0:27yourselves "We have Abraham as our
- 0:29father." I tell you that out of these
- 0:31stones God can raise up children for
- 0:33Abraham the axe is already at the root
- 0:35of the trees and every tree that does
- 0:38not produce good fruit will be cut down
- 0:40and thrown into the fire what who does
- 0:43John call a brood of vipers the
- 0:46religious leaders the believers in God
- 0:49those who claim to be in right
- 0:51relationship with God through their
- 0:52relationship with Abraham what were they
- 0:55lacking first they were lacking
- 0:57repentance before God they believed they
- 1:00were already accepted by God because of
- 1:03their obedience and pedigree they have
- 1:05failed to understand that true obedience
- 1:08is humbling ourselves before God in
- 1:11recognition of his perfection and our
- 1:13sinfulness his grace and our need for

- 1:18virtue of their birth or their belief
- 1:21but must become God's children by
- 1:23humility and faith this led to the
- 1:26second problem the lack of work produced
- 1:28by repentance the religious were obeying
- 1:31what they considered the laws of God to
- 1:33keep themselves in the favor of God the
- 1:36work that God requires is faith in him
- 1:39for salvation alone and not by any human
- 1:42performance except the man Jesus who
- 1:45alone is God this work is again a
- 1:47humbling ourselves before God a full
- 1:50surrender to his deity and lordship by
- 1:53living a life of sacrificial love and
- 1:56service to God and men for helping all
- 1:59men become reconciled to God just as
- 2:02Jesus did it's a relationship with Jesus
- 2:05not Abraham religion or law that the
- 2:08religious need for entering eternal life
- 2:11this relationship is marked by being
- 2:13born again of the spirit not by living
- 2:16according to the law for justification
- 2:18before God we who are believers in God
- 2:21are warned in this passage to be humble
- 2:23before God to seek Jesus alone for our
- 2:26right standing before God and to
- 2:28demonstrate that relationship to Jesus
- 2:30by living as Jesus lived in humility
- 2:34sacrifice and service before God to
- 2:37reconcile men to
