  Jesus gave all he had for you, himself.
• 1:06
  He gave himself for you so that he could save you from the wickedness of this world.
• 1:12
  He gave his own blood that he might purify you in a way that only he could.
• 1:17
  He cleansed you, making you peculiar, and putting the desire within your heart to do His work.
• 1:24
  Join us in this program, Saved from Sin and Set for Life, as Kim Miller of Woman
• 1:29
  at the Well Ministries takes us through Titus 2.14, which says,
• 1:33
  Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity,
• 1:38
  and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
• 1:44
  Hello and welcome to this broadcast of Woman at the Well Ministries,
• 1:48
  Saved from Sin and Set for Life.
• 1:52
  As Erica read in your hearing, Titus 2.14, He gave Himself for us.
• 2:00
  In 1 Corinthians 6.20, we read these words, For ye are bought with a price.
• 2:08
  Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. What was that price?
• 2:15
  It was the only begotten son of God.
• 2:19
  In John chapter 3 and verse 16, we hear this,
• 2:24
  for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,
• 2:29
  that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
• 2:36
  What does it mean that you're are bought with a price. And what does it mean that he gave himself?
• 2:44
  Jesus, who knew no sin, who was the perfect son of God, became the lamb of God.
• 2:54
  And he left the splendor of heaven. And if you read Revelations where John was
• 2:59
  given the revelation on the Isle of Patmos of what it's like,
• 3:03
  you see that as a place where there's no darkness and the sun never sets for Jesus is the light.
• 3:09
  You see that the pavement there is made of gold.
• 3:13
  You see that the walls are of Jasper. You see there's no tears,
• 3:18
  no sorrow, no pain, no sickness, no death, no party. It is a place of eternal
• 3:24
  bliss where Jesus is the light and we're face to face with Christ.
• 3:28
  We no longer have to live by faith, but we see him as he is and for who he is.
• 3:36
  And Christ allows us that because he was willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice of his life.
• 3:47
  And you say, well, why does that even matter? Because we came into this world sinner.
• 3:52
  Because of Adam and Eve's sin against God.
• 3:56
  They became sinners and it's passed through us.
• 4:02
  And in Romans chapter three and verse 23, it says that we are all sinners and
• 4:08
  have come short of the glory of God.
• 4:11
  And none of us on our own right would ever be fit for the kingdom of heaven.
• 4:16
  We couldn't get there through thinking our way there. We couldn't get there
• 4:20
  through doing our way there. We couldn't get there by some sort of inheritance.
• 4:24
  The only way we can get there is through and by the blood of Jesus Christ,
• 4:29
  which is applied to our hearts through faith, believing in him.
• 4:33
  And he says in Romans 10, 13, that whosoever believes in him should not perish,
• 4:38
  but have everlasting life.
• 4:40
  He tells us plainly that he will forgive us of our sins if we just ask.
• 4:48
  In 1 John 1, 9, he says.
• 5:17
  For the Bible tells us that there is therefore now no more condemnation to them
• 5:21
  that are in Christ Jesus.
• 5:23
  When God looks at a saved individual, he sees the blood of his son.
• 5:28
  And in doing so, he sees his family because we are allowed to be called the
• 5:34
  sons of God because of the work that has been done for us.
• 5:41
  On the cross of Calvary. John 1.12 says that clearly.
• 5:48
  He says. But as many as received him.
• 5:52
  To them gave he power to become the sons of God.
• 5:56
  Even to them that believe on his name.
• 6:01
  In John chapter 10 and verse 10. We understand the entire reason why Jesus left
• 6:08
  the splendor of heaven. He said the thief cometh not but to kill and to steal and to destroy.
• 6:15
  I am come that you might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.
• 6:22
  Christ has come to redeem you because he loves you.
• 6:29
  Because he loves you enough to buy you with the price of his own life.
• 6:35
  And God loved you enough to sacrifice his only begotten son for sins that you
• 6:43
  committed and I committed and for a debt that we owed but could not pay.
• 6:49
  You see, it took the sinless, spotless lamb of God.
• 6:53
  No one else could ever have done it. Nothing else could ever have paid that debt.
• 7:00
  And unfortunately there are those within the
• 7:03
  sound of my voice and no doubt many others
• 7:06
  in this world who will not accept the
• 7:09
  fact that they're in need of christ as a
• 7:12
  savior and somehow or another they have determined that just because they don't
• 7:17
  believe it it doesn't make it so and it's not because i believe it that makes
• 7:22
  it so it's because thus saith the word of god he says there is no other way to get to heaven,
• 7:30
  but through his son, Jesus Christ.
• 7:33
  In fact, he says in John chapter 14 and verse six, I am the way this is Jesus
• 7:38
  speaking the truth and the life and no man cometh unto the father,
• 7:42
  but by me, you're not going to get into heaven by being a good person.
• 7:47
  Unfortunately, it might be true that you may know somebody that you're actually
• 7:51
  nicer than who has given their heart to the Lord, but they're not giving their life to him.
• 7:56
  And so maybe you are even a better person on your own right,
• 8:00
  but you haven't received the only begotten son of God.
• 8:03
  And therefore, when judgment comes, you have no protection.
• 8:08
  And you say, well, if he's so loving, why would he send me to hell?
• 8:13
  Christ has never sent a person to hell and that will never change.
• 8:17
  If you end up in an eternity of hell, it will be because you ignored the.
• 8:25
  The sacrifice he made. It'll be because you ignored the wooing of the Holy Spirit
• 8:29
  who has spoken to you and tried to get you to understand who Christ is.
• 8:35
  It will be because you were too proud to submit yourself under the mighty hand
• 8:40
  of God that he may exalt you in due time.
• 8:43
  It'll be because you believe the lie of the devil and not the truth of Christ.
• 8:49
  Christ you see what you don't understand is
• 8:52
  is you are either going to serve the devil or you're
• 8:54
  going to serve Christ and unless you have given your
• 8:57
  heart to Christ guess what you're still serving something beside yourself and
• 9:03
  you're still being controlled so to speak by doing the things that are anti-God
• 9:08
  by someone who has no interest in your well-being but Jesus came that you might
• 9:16
  have life and that you might have it more abundantly.
• 9:19
  You see a life in Christ is not one that is just set up for fire insurance.
• 9:26
  This entire lesson that we're talking about is about being saved and set for life.
• 9:31
  And we have fully talked about being set for eternity.
• 9:35
  But this verse in John chapter 10, verse 10 brings something else into the picture.
• 9:41
  It tells us that he came that we might have life, that's that we might be born
• 9:46
  again and we would never see death for the second time, but that we would have
• 9:51
  life and have it more abundantly.
• 9:53
  You see, there's a peace that passes understanding and a joy unspeakable and
• 9:58
  full of glory in walking in the ways of the Lord and having a hope in Jesus Christ.
• 10:04
  When the storm comes around about you, it's not all about you trying to fix it.
• 10:10
  When the finances won't quite match, it's not all about you trying to make it work.
• 10:14
  It's a God that loves you, is all-knowing, and is all-seeing,
• 10:18
  who cared enough to send his son to die for you, and who knew about that issue
• 10:23
  you were going to have for salvation before you were even born, and made a way for it.
• 10:29
  And all you have to do is accept and believe.
• 10:32
  If he cared enough to do that for you,
• 10:35
  something as simple as supplying your needs
• 10:38
  is not going to be a problem for him and his
• 10:41
  love is so deep that he'll make sure that he
• 10:44
  makes it happen but you got to believe in fact
• 10:48
  and we are told in the bible mark chapter 9 and
• 10:50
  verse 23 that all things are possible to him
• 10:54
  that believe it we're not just saved
• 10:57
  from sin he sets us up for
• 11:00
  an abundant life he saves us from
• 11:03
  all iniquity and he redeems us
• 11:06
  and yeah as titus says we're a little
• 11:09
  peculiar because the holy spirit dwells inside
• 11:12
  of us jesus and god and
• 11:15
  the holy spirit are the trinity and part of that trinity resides
• 11:18
  in each and every believer who come to the saving knowledge
• 11:21
  of jesus and he teaches us and he comforts us
• 11:24
  and he instructs us and he leads us in the way that
• 11:27
  we should go and you better believe that'll make us
• 11:30
  a little different than a person beside of us who doesn't
• 11:33
  have the indwelling of the holy spirit in them because they've
• 11:36
  rejected the saving grace of jesus christ
• 11:39
  you see it's not about what i've ever done it's not about
• 11:42
  what you've ever done it's about the finished work on calvary and the bible
• 11:46
  says in ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 and 9 that for by grace are you saved through
• 11:51
  faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of god not of works lest any
• 11:57
  man should boast It is a gift for you to take.
• 12:01
  To receive, and apply to your life.
• 12:04
  Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
• 12:09
  And if you really want to have an abundant life, and you really want to be saved
• 12:16
  and set for life, I ask you to follow these words out of Romans chapter 10, verses 9 and 10.
• 12:25
  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in
• 12:30
  thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
• 12:35
  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
• 12:42
  Romans 10, 13 further says, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
• 12:47
  shall be saved. You too can know this Jesus as your personal Savior if you will
• 12:55
  only believe and accept him.
• 12:56
  You too can be set for life and saved from sin.
