00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,720
Welcome to the GTP show.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,280
I'm your host Dylan with my cohost Jason.

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,280
Hello.

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,760
Okay, Jason.

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:23,920
Well, this week, we are going to be starting an episode with me hosting.

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,080
You guys couldn't tell because you heard my voice.

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:34,600
We're going to be talking about love and what that looks like biblically, the different

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,880
types of love.

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,720
Let's get into that a little bit.

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Being newly married, I think I've been like, oh love and love and love and love.

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,560
But I was thinking we should talk with different types of love because, you know, there's a

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,720
couple of different ones.

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,680
There's Filet-O-Fish, Cafe, stuff like that.

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,640
So I want to get into that, but I wanted to define what healthy love is.

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,840
The definition of that crucial to understanding the message of the Bible because the Bible

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,840
is talking about love.

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,760
Love thy neighbor, all that stuff.

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,720
So like love is not confined to the sexuality.

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,720
It's primarily like isn't just a feeling either.

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,080
What teaches that love is a commitment.

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:34,800
The commitment is not dependent on feelings, but rather the consistency of courageous decisions

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,360
to extend like well-being to one another.

23
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,320
The commitment to producing, you know, produces good feelings, not the other way around.

24
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:48,600
Like it's not action.

25
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:56,160
But Jesus is love, he became the perfect demonstration of that love by laying his life down for us,

26
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,160
for our benefit.

27
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,160
It's selfless.

28
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,160
Selfless, selfless.

29
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,160
Oh yeah, that word.

30
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,160
So yeah, that's what we're going to talk about.

31
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:10,080
I mean, I don't know if you have any comments or anything you'd like to say right off the

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,080
bat.

33
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,080
Oh yeah.

34
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,520
Well, I think we can do an episode on different kinds of love, like each, like multiple episodes.

35
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,400
So like one talks about loving in the way that God calls us to love others and then

36
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,720
loving in a relationship setting and loving in a way that God loves the church and that

37
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,320
how that looks like and what that looks like for his people.

38
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,640
And when I say church, it's, if you go back to our previous episode talking about what

39
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:41,720
is the church, when God loves the church is talking about the body of Christ, everybody

40
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,600
who's accepted Christ in that sense.

41
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,760
So because we are the church.

42
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,720
So that's when it talks about that.

43
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,760
So yeah.

44
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,040
So for this episode, are we talking about all of them?

45
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,520
One of them specific one.

46
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,960
Like God's love.

47
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,960
Okay.

48
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,520
So not, not the big one.

49
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Not loving others, but God's love to us and what that looks like.

50
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Yeah.

51
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,080
I think in the sense of like, I was thinking we go along with a gap, a, um, because God's

52
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,640
love for us is huge.

53
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:23,120
Um, I just remember always being told to, but that's love.

54
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,120
And what does that look like?

55
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,720
You know, and I guess in a way, yeah.

56
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,720
So talking about how do we show God's love as well.

57
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Um, but like, I think we'd rather just talk about God's love and examples of, of his love

58
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:44,280
and his, you know, what he has for us, um, and why, like why we should love God.

59
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,640
God loves us and stuff like that.

60
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,200
I like how, uh, this episode you're literally came in.

61
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,840
It's like, I'm not going to tell you, like you, you basically said what we were going

62
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,320
to talk about, but then did it in the songs.

63
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,760
I didn't know if that was what we were actually doing.

64
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,280
It's so I'm already for this.

65
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,280
This is, this is going to be fun.

66
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,280
Yeah.

67
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,360
I remember that song, um, from parent trap love song was like supposed to out love.

68
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,360
You look at me.

69
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,000
Oh, it's for the way.

70
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Yeah.

71
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,600
So he asked me, I just started singing that song and you could, you can see his face.

72
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,320
He was like, what are you, why are you singing?

73
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,320
I was like, cool.

74
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,800
Shouldn't be singing, but you know, um, and I'm like, no, we're going to talk about love.

75
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,800
He's like, oh, you were serious.

76
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,800
I'm like, yeah.

77
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,400
What's love got to do with it?

78
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Right.

79
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,440
I was like, I don't know.

80
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Um.

81
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,440
Now I know now I'm ready.

82
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,520
I think so we'll see.

83
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,520
No, right.

84
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,520
You know, we never know.

85
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,800
I'm the one leading this episode.

86
00:04:47,800 --> 00:05:04,560
So his, uh, so there's, um, after you 12 29 to 30, um, which is a good one.

87
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,760
Um, he just replies, he's talking to them.

88
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,920
They ask him, what's the most important commandment or can you Lord tell us is the most important

89
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,440
commandment is this.

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,600
You must love the Lord with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all

91
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,600
your strength.

92
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:31,200
I'd want you to love him at his benefit, but for yours, um, when you love him, he makes

93
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,040
you holy in his eyes.

94
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,200
Holy is separate, uh, it's set apart.

95
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,280
So it makes us separate than the worst, the world and everything.

96
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:45,640
Um, experiences, very, uh, and his very presence is power and the spirit lives within you and

97
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,280
enjoys his wisdoms guidance.

98
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,720
And you are assured of living forever in him.

99
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:56,840
God is whoever require your love, um, him to be sincere and consuming with all your

100
00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:58,840
heart, soul, mind and your strength.

101
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:03,160
So it's, it has to be a full commitment.

102
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,560
Um, it's, you know, it came like, ah, man, I really love ice cream sandwiches.

103
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:16,040
Like, um, no, but it has to be commitment.

104
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:23,720
Like marriages, um, it's a commitment to him and it has to be all out for it.

105
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,760
Um, that's what I just, you know, this is when you, you know, Jesus was talking to him

106
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:35,240
and saying, you must love the Lord, your heart, your soul, your mind, your strength, everything,

107
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,120
everything you have, you must love him.

108
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,960
And yeah, it's, it's a crazy thing to think.

109
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Cause it's like, it's like, it's, it's requires love.

110
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,640
And that sounds, it sounds very small.

111
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:54,040
It doesn't sound like it's that much like, oh, you have to love, um, and just love them.

112
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,240
But it's like, you know, love you with everything.

113
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,960
That's a, it's a sacrifice in a way.

114
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,640
Um, right.

115
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,240
I think that's just, yeah, that's, it's crazy.

116
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:15,480
Um, and dude, dude, six, five, he must love the Lord, your God with all your heart and

117
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,120
all your soul and all your mind, your strength.

118
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:25,000
So see it said there, so Jesus right there, he's quoting dude, Deuteronomy six, five.

119
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Right, right.

120
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:37,000
Which makes me say, he does it so many times and no, and then Joshua also says, uh, love

121
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,520
the Lord, your God walk in his ways, obey the commands, hold firmly to him.

122
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,640
There's another thing of fully giving yourself to God.

123
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Now it's a commitment.

124
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,800
It's committing yourself.

125
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,800
Right.

126
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:59,480
So, uh, 15, uh, 10, 3, 11, when they obey my commandments, you remain in my love.

127
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,400
I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy.

128
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Yes, your joy will overflow.

129
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,240
So, yes, your joy will overflow.

130
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:16,360
So it's saying the joy, the Lord, his love will come over you because I don't know what

131
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,640
everybody's been through and what they've heard and what they've been told, how they

132
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,320
feel that joy, the Lord, the joy that comes to the Lord is supernatural.

133
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,320
It is one of the greatest feelings.

134
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Honestly, that Holy Spirit, God love is amazing.

135
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:40,240
We love God because I mean, so we'll bring overflow of joy to our lives.

136
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,240
And that's saying it's not going to be hard.

137
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,880
It's not going to be difficult, but there's going to be joy.

138
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,480
Even if it is in the sad things are in the, you know, the losses.

139
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,320
It says that you sacrifice everything to him, you know, I feel like there's a lot of times

140
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,040
in my life I've had a lot of things going on.

141
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,240
I've been stressed, went through a lot of things.

142
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,640
The joy of the Lord has always kept me.

143
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,640
I'm a happy person because I have God.

144
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,480
That's why I got these giant, you know, I got the smile lines.

145
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,760
I'm always smiling.

146
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,000
I'm like, even when I'm having bad days, I'm like, Oh, you know what?

147
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,560
Let five minutes ruin your whole day to God.

148
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,560
And right.

149
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:23,840
You know, you can try to do it.

150
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,760
It's not always easy, but that's life.

151
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,320
And that's what you got to just you have to give him everything like it says.

152
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,040
And like Jesus said, putting dude around me.

153
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,280
So yeah, it's my first little spiel.

154
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,880
I think it's a little pulpit.

155
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,880
It's cool.

156
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,880
I like it.

157
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,200
I'm not saying that.

158
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:57,680
But I like it because it definitely gives an idea that not only does God love us and

159
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:06,920
what that looks like, but it shows that I think it's a good reference point to this.

160
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,360
In Romans, Romans five, if you haven't read Romans five, read the context I'm talking

161
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,840
about here is verse one through eleven.

162
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,840
That's the passage there that was recorded that way.

163
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,520
But in verse eight, it talks about God shows us his love for us and that while we were

164
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,600
still all sinners, Christ died for us.

165
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,520
The context there.

166
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,920
It's really cool because verse one through eleven actually describes amazing benefits

167
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:36,840
that come with being declared righteous before God by faith in Christ death for a sin.

168
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:42,320
And God has made peace with us and we stand in his grace and we rejoice in the sure hope

169
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,080
that will share in his glory.

170
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,080
Right.

171
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,360
And our suffering brings growth, which leads to even more potent hope.

172
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,360
And God has proven his love for us in that while we were still sinners and Christ died

173
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,360
for us.

174
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,480
So we were saved from God's wrath from from what happened in the Garden Eden and reconciled

175
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,920
to God in Christ.

176
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,760
This verse in five, eight Romans five, eight is is really talked about a lot.

177
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,080
It's one of the very common one in previous verses.

178
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,760
Paul clearly shows that salvation is on the basis of faith and that works.

179
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,520
You can read that in Romans three, twenty one to twenty six.

180
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,520
Very clearly.

181
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:29,080
Justification like a declaration of righteousness brings us peace with God instead of wrath.

182
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:36,380
And this is available only by those who have expressed saving faith as exemplified by men

183
00:11:36,380 --> 00:11:41,960
like Abraham, which you can read in Romans four, given that hope suffering in the life

184
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,960
of a Christian believer can be meaningful.

185
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600
We are safe to hope in God because he loves us.

186
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,000
Paul's point here is that we don't have to take God's word alone that he loves us.

187
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,600
We can look at the evidence while we were still sinners.

188
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Christ died for us.

189
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,920
Now, we didn't have to get clean first.

190
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,880
We didn't have to get right first.

191
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:09,200
Jesus came and and died for us, paid that price.

192
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:15,480
And I was I was listening to another podcast talking about other podcasts, but it's really

193
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,040
cool because they were talking about Galilean wedding.

194
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,580
I don't know if you've ever heard of that term.

195
00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:24,760
So back back in the day with Galileans.

196
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,600
I don't know.

197
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,920
I feel like I have heard that, but I'm like, I don't know.

198
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:38,600
So Galilean wedding back when Galileans were around because they're not anymore.

199
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,280
The wedding ceremony, how it would happen.

200
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,320
And a lot of times when Jesus was referring to wedding, he was referring to Galilean style

201
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,240
wedding when he's like, oh, yeah, my people are my bride kind of thing.

202
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,120
I'll be back from the groom comes back from a Galilean wedding.

203
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:59,640
How it starts is like the first important portion is that the the man in that situation,

204
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:07,760
the groom, had to sacrifice the most valuable possession or sacrifice something to show

205
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,760
that he was willing to put it all down for the bride at that time.

206
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,760
And obviously, the Galileans were very looked down upon because at the time people didn't

207
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:23,020
like the idea of women having some sort of value in a lot of the aspects of that stuff.

208
00:13:23,020 --> 00:13:24,520
But Galileans did that.

209
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,840
And they were like, right.

210
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,520
So when Jesus, right.

211
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,480
So Jesus, make sure I go on the right record.

212
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,360
So yeah.

213
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:44,920
So when Jesus is talking about this, he was talking about sacrificing everything for the

214
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:45,920
bride.

215
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,320
And he was saying, you guys are my bride.

216
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,560
And everyone's like, what are you talking about?

217
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:52,560
We don't like those people.

218
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,560
What are you talking about?

219
00:13:53,560 --> 00:14:00,120
And it's like, you know, it's good.

220
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,360
I'm going to say it because it's in my brain now.

221
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,360
It's like in my notes.

222
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,920
And so I'm like, like, goes right there.

223
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Sorry, Jason.

224
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,920
OK, I got excited.

225
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,480
And Hosea 219.

226
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,400
I will make you my wife forever, showing you righteousness and justice, unfailing love

227
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,320
and compassion.

228
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,720
That's talking to church.

229
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,880
Yep, I think so.

230
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,880
You're wrong.

231
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,880
I don't know.

232
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,240
It was in my notes because I saw it in love.

233
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,240
Yeah.

234
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,240
Hosea.

235
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,240
Hosea.

236
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,240
Homer.

237
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,240
The story of Homer.

238
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,240
What?

239
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,240
Hosea.

240
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:47,440
That's the story with with Homer, right?

241
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,440
I don't remember for sure.

242
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,720
It's been a bit long.

243
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:53,720
PK.

244
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,160
You got one job.

245
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,160
To to back things up and check things.

246
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Keep me accountable.

247
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
I know.

248
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,920
I know that Hosea, like he linked a lot of his messages messages closely with his personal

249
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,160
life.

250
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,000
He married a woman he knew would eventually betray his trust and.

251
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Homer.

252
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Yes, she was.

253
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Yeah, OK.

254
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,640
And he paid 10 times the amount to get her back.

255
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,960
I don't know if he's actually talking about.

256
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,960
He actually did that.

257
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,960
I know.

258
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,280
I don't know if he was talking about her, his wife or he was see, but he was supposed

259
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,480
to represent like God's love for us.

260
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:40,040
And he would go anywhere to go get her because he loved her married or she's like, I'm not

261
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,040
worth it.

262
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,040
I'm no good.

263
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,640
And he's like, you're my wife.

264
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,640
I love you.

265
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,640
God's chosen.

266
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,240
You told me to go after you.

267
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,240
Is that OK?

268
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,240
They have a kid.

269
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,240
They go.

270
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,840
It's like, I'm not good enough for going back to being a prostitute.

271
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:54,840
Yeah, he goes.

272
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,680
You know, does that.

273
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:04,440
And he goes extra down and pays 10 times the amount of money that it would cost her and

274
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,440
happily ever after.

275
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:13,120
I think it's an interesting it's interesting to go read it because a lot of the parallels

276
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,880
he does was to be a bigger picture for people to see how God interacts with his people.

277
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,000
And a lot of people at the time like this man's just crazy because I mean, imagine like someone

278
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:31,040
in nowadays like Lily, their whole life is just a representation of what God does to

279
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,040
us.

280
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,000
And they literally follow through 100 percent just to show a sample of it.

281
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,800
And their whole life was just made as an example.

282
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,840
And that's just like it's kind of insane.

283
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,840
But that was that was.

284
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,320
Oh, my gosh.

285
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,760
It's ridiculous.

286
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,760
Like, you know.

287
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,760
Crazy.

288
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,320
Hey, you know, that's the thing with God.

289
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,840
He'll use anything to make a point and make a lesson.

290
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,840
Now.

291
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,840
Yeah.

292
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,840
Yeah.

293
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,920
Now, I do want to touch up on one thing because we are talking about God's love and I'm going

294
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,920
to bring up the obvious.

295
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,960
Let's talk about John 3 John 3 16.

296
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,360
I knew it.

297
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:12,000
This is how God loved the world.

298
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,880
He gave his only only one son so that everybody who believes will not perish but have eternal

299
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,880
life.

300
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Now, the context between six is 16 is actually 16 through 21.

301
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,640
That's the passage for that.

302
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,640
Please go on.

303
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,640
Tell me more.

304
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,640
Do you have it?

305
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:28,640
Yeah.

306
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,440
Verse 17 is for God to not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but save it

307
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,440
through him.

308
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,200
Eighteen says anyone who believes in him is not condemned by anyone who does not believe

309
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,680
him is already condemned because he has not believed in the name of the one and only son

310
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,680
of God.

311
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,680
Nineteen.

312
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,680
Okay.

313
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,940
This is the judgment.

314
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:50,480
The light has come into the world and people love the darkness rather than the light because

315
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,520
their deeds were evil.

316
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,520
Verse 20.

317
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,520
Get some tan.

318
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,960
Come on now.

319
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:02,640
For everyone who looks like Jason over here lives in Arizona and got a pasty skin.

320
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,800
So verse 20 says for everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids it so that his

321
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,040
deed may not be exposed.

322
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,880
Twenty one says but anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light so that his works

323
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,880
may be shown through accomplished and to be accomplished by God.

324
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,040
The one thing that's really important about this whole passage like it's really important

325
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,120
because a lot of people just take 16 like the rest is irrelevant.

326
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:27,360
No, that's really important.

327
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:28,360
That's all we need.

328
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:30,040
Yeah, we need all of it.

329
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,680
We need all of it and because that's the that's the whole passage and I've explained it before

330
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,600
on the podcast and Dylan, you've also explained it before is that when the Bible was written,

331
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:45,480
it wasn't written in books like a sense of like chapter and verse.

332
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,480
It was written as letters, as parables, as story as written history as I.

333
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,480
Yeah.

334
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:58,440
And a lot of the stuff was not labeled by chapter and verse because it wasn't used

335
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,580
that way.

336
00:18:59,580 --> 00:19:04,520
And so when we have chapters and verses, there's a lot of times where there's surrounding verses

337
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,460
that are connected to that verse in a context form.

338
00:19:09,460 --> 00:19:12,860
And it's really easy to take a verse out of context because it's quotable.

339
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:17,280
But when you get to the nitty gritty, you go to verse 20 right there where it says that

340
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,920
anyone who does evil hates the light and avoids it so his deeds may not be exposed.

341
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,000
One thing that Jesus talks about in previous verses is that we are to confess our sins

342
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
to one another.

343
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Right.

344
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,400
And so he wants to know, wants us to confide in each other and to be able to expose those

345
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,400
things.

346
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,400
But most people don't want to talk about those verses because they're like if you're sinning

347
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,760
or you're living in sin or you're dealing with something, struggling with something,

348
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,880
you're supposed to go with each other.

349
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,240
Another brother in Christ or another sister in Christ or two leaders of the church and

350
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,960
you're supposed to talk to them and say, Hey, I'm struggling with this.

351
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:58,240
And that is an important thing that was brought forward, but gets skipped over because that's

352
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,240
not nobody.

353
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,240
The fun part about that.

354
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,360
Yeah, nobody wants to talk about that.

355
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:02,920
It's the nitty gritty.

356
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,760
It's the real part of walking with Christ and you know, rough.

357
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,760
Right.

358
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:09,760
Yeah.

359
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,480
Every time I hear that and I because every time I've been taught on John 16 and it goes

360
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:23,840
to 20, there's a pastor, I must have been like fifth grade, maybe fourth grade.

361
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,520
I just had got, I could go to youth group kinda.

362
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,200
I was welcome to go, but I was, you know, young.

363
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,560
He made the point of comparing those verses to like Lion King.

364
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,560
Mm hmm.

365
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,760
It's like this.

366
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,160
You can choose to walk on the light.

367
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:47,040
Yeah, you can go over there to the wasteland scar bad guy, the villain.

368
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:52,080
And it's like, you know, and if you allow, if you don't allow to walk in the light, that

369
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,080
scar take over.

370
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:58,880
It looks like the end of the movie when everything is poop, no food, there's no nothing.

371
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,000
And like, there's no fruit to see there in a wasteland.

372
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,080
You know, and I just, I don't know why I had to share that, but I just thought of that.

373
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,240
Yeah.

374
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:15,440
I definitely have a pulpit on this verse in general because this verse is the, yeah, this

375
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:21,360
verse is the core of Christianity that God loved the world enough to come as Jesus and

376
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:26,560
to die for all of us so that anyone who trusts in him will be saved from sin.

377
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,400
This is certainly the most well known verse in the Bible.

378
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:34,440
Hands down is probably the best known and most memorized part of any holy text in human

379
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,780
history.

380
00:21:35,780 --> 00:21:40,000
But this verse is a one sentence summary of the gospel and the subject line of the entire

381
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Bible.

382
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,960
John 3, 3, 16 also reflects another important aspect of the gospel.

383
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,120
The essential idea is extremely clear, but there are layers of meanings and knowledge

384
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:51,120
inside of it.

385
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:55,320
So this is my, my pulpit on this.

386
00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:02,200
The opening phrase is traditionally translated as God so loved the world that is typically

387
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:09,000
understood to mean God loved the world so much that, but there's nothing.

388
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,000
There's nothing.

389
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Yes.

390
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,520
There's nothing like incorrect about that idea, but the actual phrasing means God loved

391
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:23,200
the world in this way, which emphasizes on what God did more than why.

392
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:29,520
So Jesus is an expression of God's indescribable love for the world, meaning of all mankind

393
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,800
rather than just the world as a world.

394
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:41,080
The phrase translated as one and only son or only begotten son uses the Greek word monogenes,

395
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,080
which this is a very precise one word.

396
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,080
Yeah.

397
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,560
It's a very precise word.

398
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:55,320
One which John uses at other places in this gospel, John 1, 14, 118 and John 3, 18, where

399
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:01,820
the English term forgotten often makes people think of like biology, but monogenes does

400
00:23:01,820 --> 00:23:08,420
not imply that the word literally means something of the exact same stuff.

401
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:13,400
So in other words, the son is a, it's a full close.

402
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,360
The son is of exactly the same nature as God, the father.

403
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:23,840
And this makes John 3, 16, an important part of proving the biblical concept of the Trinity,

404
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,240
which a lot of people like, Oh no, no, no.

405
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,880
It was like, well, that word itself, monogenes is only used when it's talking about that

406
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,880
specifically.

407
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,880
Trinity.

408
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:32,880
Yeah.

409
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,680
It's really cool.

410
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,480
I really love this verse.

411
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,800
Like I said before, it's the core of Christianity and this is a really important one to touch

412
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,120
because like I said, people read 16 and then stop.

413
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:51,200
And that's the, that's just the beginning of the context that it was actually trying

414
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,680
to preface.

415
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,120
So no, it happens all the time.

416
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:57,120
I agree with that.

417
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:03,480
We always talking about too, like you said in past episodes, we've mentioned, you know,

418
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:10,240
people get one part of the scripture and you know, context, I always use example as, you

419
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:17,520
know, I'm in submit to your husband's it's most overused when I feel, but it's like also,

420
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:23,960
Oh, well, hey husbands, this isn't that, you know, treat your, your wife, like the church.

421
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,320
I think that's huge.

422
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,880
We will be talking about that for sure.

423
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,880
Have a little bit.

424
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:36,280
So we'll do some more always will go deep dive episode, whole episode on it.

425
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,280
Good.

426
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,280
I can learn a little bit.

427
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,000
I remember you've been doing this for a little longer than me, the whole married thing.

428
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
So yeah.

429
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:51,160
So I was thinking of Romans 38 Romans, what?

430
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,160
38.

431
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,160
Sorry.

432
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,160
Cut out a little bit.

433
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,160
Eight, 38, 848, 838.

434
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,160
38, 38.

435
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,160
Okay.

436
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,160
38.

437
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,160
Okay.

438
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,160
Okay.

439
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:10,400
Anyways, I feel like, you know, there's sometimes, you know, kids are like, yeah, it's like,

440
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,200
well, how do I know God loves me?

441
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,000
How do you, you know, explain that?

442
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,680
And this is one of those verses and it's Romans.

443
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,400
I like Romans is a good book.

444
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,640
Nothing separate us from God's love.

445
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,240
Oh, God loves you.

446
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,560
It's a so much, he loves us so much.

447
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,560
It's an agape.

448
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:39,040
Um, so much that he sent Jesus to earth to die for us.

449
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Okay.

450
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,600
Took the punishment for all of our sins, like everything that we've done wrong and it will

451
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,600
do wrong.

452
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,760
His freedom is so complete that even though we have, even if you've never, Oh my gosh,

453
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,760
my notes.

454
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,760
Sorry.

455
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,000
I should have been a doctor handwriting.

456
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,360
Um, what's cool.

457
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:03,760
So took the benefit for our sins.

458
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:10,400
His forgiveness is so complete that it is that though we have never sinned at all, his

459
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,360
love can never be chained or broken.

460
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:14,200
That's what this verse is basically saying.

461
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,640
Nothing can separate us.

462
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,800
There's no separation.

463
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:23,640
With that he threw that gap, we fall short and he makes up that ground.

464
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,160
He pushes us to the extra, you know, two, three feet that we need.

465
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,400
Cause it was sin is a, the absence of God.

466
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,960
So he feels that absence of with not having God.

467
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:38,960
I think that's huge.

468
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,000
You know, when the kids were like, well, how do we know?

469
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,560
I'm like, because I'm like, think of the person that you love the most and you give, you have

470
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,320
to give them up.

471
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,320
Everybody else can be saved.

472
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,840
Are you like your worst enemy could be safe.

473
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:52,840
Right.

474
00:26:52,840 --> 00:27:01,280
Like I think especially now my son, I'm like, I would not let anything happen to him.

475
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,320
I'm like, I'd fight a grizzly bear.

476
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,320
No problem.

477
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:13,320
I had to win some cause I, I don't know what where I'd fight a grizzly bear.

478
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,880
I, you know, like, I'm like, I would do anything to protect them.

479
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,360
Like I would, I would die for him.

480
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:20,360
No problem.

481
00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:23,440
But then it's like, I die for somebody.

482
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,840
I don't, you know, maybe I don't really have any enemies.

483
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:33,480
They said I'm aware of, you know, but you know, that's crazy to think.

484
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,040
Oh, would I die for a criminal?

485
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,720
You don't know.

486
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,720
God did.

487
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,720
God did.

488
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:41,720
It's crazy.

489
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,040
You know, yeah.

490
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:51,160
This reminds me of John, uh, first, John three.

491
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,360
Yeah.

492
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:55,680
First John three, the first couple of verses are actually talking on this topic.

493
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:02,080
I remember verse one, I know the context is one to three, but verse one says, uh, John

494
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:07,280
wrote and said, see what kind of love the father has given to us that we should be called

495
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,480
children of God.

496
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:09,880
And so we are.

497
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,920
The reason why the world does not know us is that he did not, they do not know him.

498
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:21,760
And um, it's really important here because in the first three verses of chapter three

499
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,880
of first John, uh, it highlights amazing love God has for us.

500
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,560
And not only that, is he willing to call us his children, we actually are his children.

501
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:37,640
Um, some of the transformation is immediate, but not everyone we will be, um, like, but

502
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,800
not everything we will be has been revealed yet.

503
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Um, only when Christ returns, we will see everything he has in store for us.

504
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:51,400
Um, it's really cool cause John highlights this concept of using the Greek term, I D

505
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:56,920
eight, which means, look at this, like the idea God will love us even to make his children.

506
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,400
It's just one of the amazing aspects of the gospel.

507
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,760
And uh, idiot, I D eight.

508
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:05,760
Yeah.

509
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,280
I hate that idiot.

510
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,280
I think it's idiot.

511
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,280
I don't idiot.

512
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,280
It's not like, look at this idiot.

513
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,920
That's what I thought you said.

514
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,520
At first I was like, I'm like, what?

515
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,520
No idea.

516
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,320
That's not very kind are loving.

517
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,320
Right.

518
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,320
Idiot.

519
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,320
Idiot.

520
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Um, like the number.

521
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,320
Yeah.

522
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,320
Something like, yeah.

523
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,320
Eight.

524
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,320
Like 80.

525
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,320
It's all Greek to me.

526
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:39,680
Ha, but, uh, John here notes why unbelievers do not know believers.

527
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:45,820
Unbelievers do not know Christ as users as used by John, the concept of knowing involves

528
00:29:45,820 --> 00:29:47,720
more than just information.

529
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,320
It refers to a sense of intimacy, fellowship and connection.

530
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,800
Um, the unbelieving world does not have a relationship with Christ.

531
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,120
Therefore they have no relationship with his children.

532
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,080
God's children are to become increasingly like the father, regardless of whether others

533
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,560
recognize us or not.

534
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,960
And that's okay.

535
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:14,700
So I, I just kind of goes to show that, you know, it's not just a, he loves us.

536
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:15,700
That's it.

537
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:23,680
It's like, um, I think it's a John one 12 that says, um, but to all who did receive

538
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:30,960
him who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

539
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,400
And that's the, that's the important part.

540
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,140
And this is why you'll hear it a lot of churches and a lot of Christian circles.

541
00:30:37,140 --> 00:30:39,300
We are adopted into his kingdom.

542
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:43,360
It's because we are, we are granted it to be children of God.

543
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,680
We are given the right to be children of God in that sense.

544
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:53,000
Um, so that's just, uh, when you said that stuff, it reminded me of that verse in that

545
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000
section.

546
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000
So that's, that's good stuff.

547
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:00,600
It was muted and I forgot you were muted.

548
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:07,360
I'm like, I'm like, yeah, that is cool.

549
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,800
It's fine.

550
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,400
Yeah.

551
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:22,400
Um, oh, uh, before it leaves my head, do you remember, uh, uh, first John for 19?

552
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,080
I think it's the end of the passage.

553
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,880
I think it's the end of the section.

554
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,480
First John for 11 through 19, the context before 19, if I remember correctly, it says

555
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,560
we love because he first loved us.

556
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,560
That's that verse, right?

557
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,680
Oh, oh, oh, you got your Bible.

558
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:48,680
Check it first John four 19 first John first John first John John John John John John is

559
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,680
my memory good.

560
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:50,680
John, what was it?

561
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:59,880
First John four 19 only goes the, uh, 21.

562
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,280
Yeah.

563
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,080
First or 19.

564
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,240
Uh huh.

565
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,520
For 19 was that once you love because he first loved us.

566
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,520
Okay.

567
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:18,040
Reclaims to love God yet hates his brother or sister is a liar or whoever does not love

568
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,200
their brother and sister.

569
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,880
They have seen.

570
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,840
They cannot love God whom they have not seen.

571
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:33,520
Again, coming back to the knowing God, it's, it's intimacy with God that we understand

572
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,960
what it is and what that looks like.

573
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,320
And they do not know God because they have not accepted God.

574
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:44,800
And the context for that verse is actually starting at verse 11 and verse 11 through

575
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,320
19 is literally the backbone of John's letter here.

576
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,000
The primary way Christians are to be recognized is by love the way that love Christ loves

577
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,000
us.

578
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,720
And this is not merely what we feel, but what we do for others.

579
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:05,200
True Godly love is the most powerful evidence of being born again as a child of God.

580
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,200
Yes.

581
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:12,800
And what that goes right in with gospel of John, John one, two or three.

582
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,800
Okay.

583
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:19,080
John 13 eight Oh Peter protest, you will never wash my feet.

584
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:24,440
Jesus replied, unless I wash you, you will not belong to me.

585
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:31,520
Hey, this is you cannot receive God's love unless you put aside your pride in yourself.

586
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,520
Selfishness.

587
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,520
Mm hmm.

588
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,560
And I mean, like what you're just sort of talking about now.

589
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,080
I that he goes right hand in hand and what I think you were saying.

590
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Soon as you said that, I was like, boom, that goes with that right there.

591
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,720
Mm hmm.

592
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,040
That's we actually talked about that passage when we're talking about humility and we're

593
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,680
talking about serving others like that's a really important passage.

594
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,240
Talking about you can't.

595
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,880
Hating your brother, loving your brother at the humble yourself.

596
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,240
And that is a great episode.

597
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,240
So go watch it.

598
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,240
Okay.

599
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,240
Hosted that one too.

600
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,240
Yeah.

601
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:16,240
You hosted serving and I hosted humility and then last week we did preaching and teaching.

602
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:21,320
How was it was humble at the finale?

603
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,280
Humble was no humility was episode.

604
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,440
I don't remember.

605
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,240
Can't tell.

606
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:32,880
We're recording late at night and we're a little tired.

607
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,880
It's not a little bit tired.

608
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:35,880
And that's to say that we're tired.

609
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,880
But I mean, it's just fine.

610
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,560
I just have to pull it up.

611
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:47,440
But now I remember that the season finale was twisted scripture and then life of humility

612
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,760
lived to serve preaching humility.

613
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,760
It was right there.

614
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:51,760
Yeah.

615
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,760
Humility was season season one.

616
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,760
Episode one.

617
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:57,760
Yeah.

618
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,600
You have to list right there on your computer.

619
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,600
You should have it down.

620
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,600
No, come on.

621
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:04,600
I had to pull it up.

622
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,600
I had to log in.

623
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,840
I will.

624
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:14,440
I will add into this because back to the letters that John wrote, first, John four seven also

625
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,200
talked about this specifically because it says beloved, let us love one another for

626
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:25,920
love is from God and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God again, coming back

627
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:33,440
to the whole thing of knowing God and no understanding what that love is from him.

628
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,480
The context there is verse four, four, seven through 10.

629
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:46,080
And it's really cool because John explains how true godly love in a person's life is

630
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,080
a sign of being born again.

631
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,880
And those who truly love God will act on that love toward other people.

632
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,960
So those who don't demonstrate love have no fellowship with God at minimum.

633
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,480
And love is something God showed us first by sending Christ and our love for him is

634
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,800
the ultimately is ultimately rooted in his original love for us.

635
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:15,280
So we are again reminded that true love involves acting, not just feeling, which you were saying

636
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,400
at the beginning of this episode is that it's not just a feeling.

637
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,720
It's not like, oh, I love this.

638
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:23,640
It's like it's it's it's an actual it's a it's a verb.

639
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,640
Like it's actionable.

640
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:34,680
Like you're doing something and that's important and is repeated multiple times

641
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,200
throughout the Bible and throughout the gospel.

642
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,760
The greatest commandment of all.

643
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:42,760
Now, yeah.

644
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,600
Was that what did he just read?

645
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,320
Was that John?

646
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,320
First John four, seven.

647
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,320
OK.

648
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:57,640
And then John 15, 10, 311, you obey me, you remain in my love.

649
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,160
I've told you this so that you will be filled with my joy.

650
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:02,160
Yes.

651
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:07,880
The joy of overflow.

652
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:08,880
Love that verse.

653
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:09,880
It's so good.

654
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:18,640
That was that John 15, 10, you said 11, 11, the obedience, you know, expressing our love

655
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:19,640
for God.

656
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,400
We should not be confused with earning God's love.

657
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,360
And that's a big thing.

658
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,440
People, you know, like, well, I go to church.

659
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,840
I do this as you know, we obey God because we already love him.

660
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:36,280
It's not in order to be loved and that we obey that we are promised joy.

661
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,600
It's that we.

662
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,840
Need to love him because it's what we do.

663
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:49,560
It's not, oh, I do this so I can get this because we're called love him.

664
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,240
We love him in our hearts.

665
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:52,240
You know what I mean?

666
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:53,240
Right.

667
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:54,240
Yeah.

668
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:59,800
Because Jesus previously tied authentic love for him to obedience, which in John 14, 15

669
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,200
also the statement here echoes remarks that he made while washing the disciples feet,

670
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,120
which we just talked about.

671
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:12,040
That's actually earlier this evening, the same evening that he's doing that saying this.

672
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,040
Yeah.

673
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:18,800
Jesus exemplified what it means to live according to the will of God.

674
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,040
John five, 19, Matthew 26, 39.

675
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:27,560
He does not at all ask us to endure anything which he himself did not take on.

676
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,800
You can read that in Hebrews four, 15.

677
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,480
Jesus obeyed God as should we.

678
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,800
First John five, three.

679
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:41,480
Though we're like fallible and prone to make mistakes, which you can see in first John

680
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,240
one, nine through 10.

681
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:47,560
But to love Christ and to obey are one and the same.

682
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:53,120
So for example, like Dylan as a brother, I love you.

683
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,120
Right.

684
00:38:54,120 --> 00:39:00,000
And let's say I'm hanging out with you and you're like, man, I can't, I can't, I can't

685
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,320
eat ice cream because I'm lactose intolerant or something.

686
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,120
Obviously that's not why you're not to you.

687
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,120
So it's me.

688
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,120
Yes.

689
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,800
But for this example, let's just say you're like, I can't do that.

690
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,280
And I'm like, let's go for ice cream.

691
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,560
And you're like, I can't do that because I'm lactose intolerant.

692
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,840
And I'm like, I would suffer this fine.

693
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,840
We're going to we're going to go ice cream.

694
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:30,520
But if I truly loved you as a brother in that sense, I would I would fix that by saying,

695
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,600
OK, let's go somewhere.

696
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,240
And I would try to find something because I want to respect you and show you that I

697
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:39,240
care.

698
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:43,520
So I will look for alternatives to make it to where we can go do something together.

699
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:49,520
And that's the same kind of concept is like if we love Christ, we know who he is.

700
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,160
And if God's like, don't do that.

701
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,800
Well, I want to do that.

702
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,160
But God's like, don't do that.

703
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,320
Do you keep doing it?

704
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,320
You choose your choice.

705
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,640
I can definitely choose and be like, I'm going to the ice cream place.

706
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:02,640
I'm like, I'm sorry.

707
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,720
Do you want to be in the private land or do you want to be in the wasteland with scar

708
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:07,720
ice cream?

709
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:08,720
Right.

710
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:11,800
So like, no, that's the case.

711
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,840
Jason, just give me one of your lactose intolerant pills.

712
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,760
But like you did when we got ice cream.

713
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,440
Like, I got to go.

714
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,760
I took my pill.

715
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,760
Right.

716
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:29,400
This just gives a good proof of example that.

717
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,740
To love Christ and to pay him are one and the same thing.

718
00:40:33,740 --> 00:40:38,040
One of these episodes, I know I'm going to make a post about it because it's really important

719
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,400
to distinguish.

720
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:47,880
There is a distinguish between mosaic laws that were under Moses and what he did and

721
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:55,380
what was told for the people at the time and actual God's law and rules that he's created

722
00:40:55,380 --> 00:40:59,200
for people as a whole saying that these are my people.

723
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,560
They follow these commands.

724
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,680
So one point or another, we will do more in depth on that because it's really important.

725
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,560
A lot of people get them too mixed up because people are like, well, Bible says no tattoos.

726
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,720
Well, that was that was the mosaic law.

727
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:14,960
There was reasons for it.

728
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,240
And you can see that that was what it was.

729
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:20,680
And so we will have to talk on that.

730
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,080
Yeah, we'll have to talk about that for sure.

731
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,080
Oh, yeah.

732
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,080
That was mosaic.

733
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:31,720
Yeah, because a lot of people get that confused and a lot of people use that to to weaponize

734
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:35,440
the Bible to attack people.

735
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:36,760
It contradicts itself.

736
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,720
It's like, no, it changes.

737
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:42,240
It didn't change.

738
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:43,240
Mm hmm.

739
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:46,400
Just it was for what it was needed during those times.

740
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:54,200
I know mixed, you know, fibers and stuff like that for the shirts and like, you know.

741
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,600
Is not like is back then there is no medical.

742
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:02,920
Now people didn't understand that, you know, only cook pork or cook this at three hundred

743
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:08,800
and fifty five degrees for at least five minutes on each side each to get rid of all the bacteria.

744
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,120
We didn't know they didn't know that.

745
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,280
They're like, hmm, well, this on fire.

746
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,280
Eat.

747
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,720
It's it.

748
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:22,680
I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about it, but the show The Chosen, like if

749
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,360
you if you watch it, it's good.

750
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,480
It's just kind of a nice show to watch.

751
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,480
Don't take it as gospel.

752
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,000
So straight and simple.

753
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,000
It's Hollywood.

754
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,240
It's TV, whatever.

755
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:37,640
But there was one point in there where the actor who was portraying Jesus said that I

756
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:44,280
want my followers to read this and understand it as a whole and not as individuals lines.

757
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:50,200
Like he was that point was that I want my followers to actually study me, get to know

758
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,800
who I am and understand who I am as a whole.

759
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,560
And that was because I think it was Simon that was writing something.

760
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:02,840
He's like, these are really hard to follow, like this is going to be insane for anybody

761
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,080
that wants to follow you.

762
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:09,280
These are hard stuff, which that was just the movie, like the TV show kind of like,

763
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,680
you know, making a conversation.

764
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,120
But it was an interesting point because it's like a lot of the Bible, as we discussed before,

765
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,320
the Bible refers to itself 60,000 plus times.

766
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:26,040
It constantly refers to itself and it constantly connects itself with other verses all the

767
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:31,560
time, and this was written by tons of different people over tons of different countries.

768
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,840
And yeah, we'll go into validity of the Bible at one of these things.

769
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:41,560
But this just shows that, you know, it's not just read the verse, take it as is.

770
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,000
There's context, context, context.

771
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,000
It's really important.

772
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,520
Yeah, it's good stuff.

773
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,440
I have I think I have one more verse about this topic.

774
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,440
I go for it, dude.

775
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,880
But go my head, I think it's Galatians two twenty.

776
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:04,880
Galatians.

777
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,720
Yeah, Galatians two twenty.

778
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:10,240
I'm pretty sure that's on topic.

779
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:11,240
Can you read that one?

780
00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:14,240
Because I'm not going to verbatim.

781
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:17,000
Galatians, Galatians two.

782
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Two twenty.

783
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,000
And no first back.

784
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Yeah.

785
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,640
It has twenty one verses.

786
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,640
So you're good.

787
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:24,640
OK.

788
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,600
Real almost didn't make it there.

789
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,120
Oh, I read 19.

790
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:34,960
The context should be it should be 15 to 21 is the full context.

791
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,760
You read more.

792
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,760
OK, cool.

793
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,720
No, no, you can read what I'm just joking.

794
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:45,240
Who are Jews by birth, not sinful Gentiles.

795
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:46,240
So that's already right there.

796
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:49,240
Oh, I mean, that's you want to repeat that.

797
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:54,640
Who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles?

798
00:44:54,640 --> 00:45:03,080
A person not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith by Jesus Christ.

799
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:08,100
We too have put our faith in Jesus Christ so that we be justified by the faith in Christ

800
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:14,960
and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law, no one will be justified.

801
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:15,960
No one.

802
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,960
It works nobody.

803
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:27,440
In seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners.

804
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:33,760
Doesn't that mean that Christ promised promote sin?

805
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:34,760
Absolutely not.

806
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,880
I rebuild and I destroy.

807
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,400
I really would be a law breaker.

808
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:49,200
The law.

809
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,440
Through the law, I died to the law so that I might give.

810
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:54,640
I live for God.

811
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,400
I have been crucified with Christ and no longer live.

812
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,680
Christ lives in me.

813
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,800
Life I know.

814
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,880
Now I live in the body.

815
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:10,960
I live my faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave me life for me.

816
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:18,240
Do not set aside the grace of God for I if righteousness could be grained, the law gains

817
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:21,320
to the law for nothing.

818
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:26,400
It was a rough last paragraph, but I got through it.

819
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,200
Well, verse 20, there is that I have been crucified with Christ.

820
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,920
It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.

821
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,160
Yes, the life I now live in the flesh.

822
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:39,800
I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me and gave himself for me.

823
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:45,680
This is Paul's grandest declaration yet about what exactly happens when someone is saved

824
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:50,400
or justified by placing their faith in Christ in a very real sense.

825
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:57,240
Paul's argument is that we are that we become so closely attached to him that we die with

826
00:46:57,240 --> 00:47:01,160
him and he begins to live with us.

827
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:08,280
Paul has been emphasizing that faith and faith alone is what saves us.

828
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:13,400
Adding any requirement of good deeds or rituals is contrary to the gospel.

829
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,760
Galatians 1, 8 through 9, Galatians 2, 16.

830
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,560
If you even think about it, if there's anything extra needed, then that means that Jesus's

831
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,480
death was not enough.

832
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,760
That the love sacrifice that he did for us was not enough.

833
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,360
And that's not true.

834
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:33,880
Christ was crucified for a sin.

835
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,220
By faith, we trust that his death paid for our own personal sin.

836
00:47:37,220 --> 00:47:41,760
And that way we are crucified with him, our sin with him on that cross.

837
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:47,480
That sinful us dies, replaced by the resurrected Christ in us, which is the Holy Spirit to

838
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:48,480
guide us.

839
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:53,720
We continue to live in the flesh, of course, but our lives are now directed not by our

840
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:57,120
sinful selves, but by our faith in Christ.

841
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:04,880
Paul expands on this great true powerfully in Romans 6, 1 through 6, which you always

842
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,600
say Romans is awesome, and I agree.

843
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,920
And Romans 6, 1 through 6 is a great read because Paul really expands on that truth.

844
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:12,920
Yeah.

845
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,760
Yeah, this is a good verse.

846
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:15,760
I like it.

847
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:16,760
Yeah, I thought that was the one.

848
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:17,760
The two found to be sinners.

849
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:26,400
Paul, he says he's discussing among the Jews and the Jews as sinners, you know, knowing

850
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,560
them as sinners because they're Gentiles.

851
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,600
Yeah, the Jewish Christians associate with them.

852
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,360
They're able to be changed for tradition.

853
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,880
Maybe them now as sinners.

854
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:40,320
And then Paul firmly just misses any such charge.

855
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:41,320
He's like, no.

856
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,720
I mean, he's just like, no, not the case.

857
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,240
I think it's great.

858
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:48,240
Yeah.

859
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:52,040
It's like, nah, I don't think so.

860
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,040
Right.

861
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,040
Get it.

862
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,040
Yeah.

863
00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:07,680
You know, I just seen the promises, the promise from God and love, you know what I mean?

864
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:17,880
I thought Psalm 236, surely your goodness and unfaithful love will pursue me all the

865
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:18,880
days of my life.

866
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,080
I will live in your house of the Lord forever.

867
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:28,760
Do you think we're to end on Psalms?

868
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:33,640
You can pretty much go to every single chapter of Psalms, Psalms 13626.

869
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,480
Good thanks to the God of heaven for a steadfast love and doors forever.

870
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:38,760
Psalms 8615.

871
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,320
But you, O Lord, are God, God, a merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding

872
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,520
and steadfast love and faithfulness.

873
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:53,960
Psalms is a consistent like David just screaming at God like you are absolutely wonderful,

874
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:54,960
fantastic.

875
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,560
What Psalms 36 seven?

876
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,320
How precious is your steadfast love?

877
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:03,760
O God, the children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

878
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,240
Psalms like a love struck teenage boy, right?

879
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:09,320
But he even, you know, I love it.

880
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,880
I like the angry side where he was like, why did this happen?

881
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,880
It was so angsty teen.

882
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:20,360
God, like, oh, oh, it was funny back and forth.

883
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,360
Right.

884
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:22,360
Yeah.

885
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,520
He was always going back and forth where he was like, thank you, God, for everything that's

886
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:25,520
happening.

887
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,360
And then the next next chapter suffer from bipolar.

888
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,400
I'm dying in my room.

889
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:36,360
I never like me a river.

890
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:40,960
It was just he was just going like he was definitely dealing with all the stresses of

891
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:41,960
the world.

892
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,800
Obviously, he did some bad things and he was just like, I am so thankful for God's mercy

893
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,320
on my life and everything I've done.

894
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,200
He still has mercy.

895
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,520
And you know, he would praise God for all the time.

896
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,280
And then he'd go back and be like, the world sucks.

897
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,280
Life sucks.

898
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,280
Where are you?

899
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,280
Everything.

900
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:00,280
I hate everything.

901
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:01,280
Gosh.

902
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,280
Yeah.

903
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:03,280
Yeah, that was that was Psalms.

904
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:08,280
I just had to say that because it's like, it's great.

905
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:14,000
Honestly, honestly, do a whole thing on that.

906
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,000
You're hot and you're cold.

907
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,000
You're guessing you're now.

908
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Oh, yeah.

909
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Yeah.

910
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,000
We had so many.

911
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,000
We had so many ideas.

912
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Ideas.

913
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,000
And I love it.

914
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,000
It's fantastic.

915
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Yeah.

916
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,000
So then I start for this last one.

917
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,640
Romans eight thirty nine.

918
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,440
Romans eight thirty nine.

919
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:34,440
Yeah.

920
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:35,440
So.

921
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,840
You can go for it.

922
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,760
I was going to cut you off, but I'm good.

923
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:51,160
You don't get to know power in the sky above or in the earth below.

924
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:57,760
Indeed, I think in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God

925
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:02,800
as revealed in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

926
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:03,800
Good verse.

927
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,520
There's thirty one to thirty nine.

928
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:13,680
I do know this passage, that verse list, everything, every realm and every category anyone might

929
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,680
imagine could loosen God's commitment or ability to love those of us in Christ.

930
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,000
And Romans three twenty three to twenty six.

931
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,920
But nothing can.

932
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,600
Hardness might test us.

933
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,240
Persecution may fall on us and will sometimes fail to obey.

934
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:36,640
But Paul's explanation thus far has included everything from our experience to powerful

935
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,200
forces and to even the natural and the supernatural worlds.

936
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:46,280
And he's listed the present, the future, he's listed powers, meaning perhaps hostile governments,

937
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:47,280
whatever.

938
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:52,320
But now he lists height, depth, meaning anything that might come down from above or up from

939
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:53,320
below.

940
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:58,560
And finally, he throws in all the clues of mention of anything else in all creation.

941
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,520
And Paul has been an absolutist about this and I love it.

942
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,200
And nothing will ever be able to separate those of us who are in Christ and the love

943
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,840
of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord, and those who are saved through faith in Christ are

944
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,960
saved eternally and forever.

945
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:13,960
Period.

946
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:14,960
You men.

947
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:15,960
Yes.

948
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:16,960
That's good.

949
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:23,160
I don't know if you're feeling I'm feeling a little bit good.

950
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:24,160
Oh yeah.

951
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:25,160
Yeah, it's always good.

952
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,240
It's always good.

953
00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:32,120
I definitely recommend reading all Romans eight because it is a declaration of the Christian's

954
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:33,840
absolute security before God.

955
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:40,320
And a lot of people who struggle with that ideology of like, how do I know God loves

956
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,320
me?

957
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,320
Like I suck.

958
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,440
It's the whole point.

959
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:46,440
We do things.

960
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,920
Yeah, we all suck.

961
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:49,920
We are all human.

962
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,700
We all fall short.

963
00:53:52,700 --> 00:53:56,800
But that is nothing like I just read.

964
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,280
That's love is greater than all that stuff.

965
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,600
Highs and lows, ups and downs.

966
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,360
And that's the whole point of it all is love.

967
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,920
Yeah, there's always something we can do to fall out.

968
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:10,920
Right.

969
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,760
And as we explained, like when you are saved, you're gifted the Holy Spirit.

970
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,680
That's the part that's there to help us through.

971
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:18,880
And I highly recommend it.

972
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,600
We've already talked about it before.

973
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:29,960
Many times, Galatians five going through that reading it and because it puts it in plain

974
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:37,840
words that if you are loving Christ and you and like we said before, it shows that loving,

975
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,360
obeying Christ are one of the same.

976
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:45,560
You can see that if you are saved, you you have the fruits of the spirit at work in your

977
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:50,040
life and for those around you and who are near you.

978
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,800
And the Galatians five does tell you like this is what you should look for.

979
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:54,800
These things are happening.

980
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:59,600
That means you have the Holy Spirit with you and you're on the right track.

981
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,900
And that doesn't happen unless you have that.

982
00:55:03,900 --> 00:55:08,720
And that's really important because I remember when I was younger, I would be like, Jesus

983
00:55:08,720 --> 00:55:09,720
loves me.

984
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:13,600
But there's people in Africa, you know, dying and being shot and murdered and maimed.

985
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,680
Like my my issues are way smaller.

986
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,720
Like he doesn't he doesn't really truly care about me because I'm over here crying and

987
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:23,520
complaining about shoes for the next week or for the next month or something.

988
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,520
Or I drop my burrito.

989
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,520
Hey, that's serious.

990
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,920
It was like and I struggled with this for a while.

991
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:38,880
Like how I understand like he loves his creation, but there's so many more people that are way

992
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:44,480
more hurt and have way worse off lives than I do.

993
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,560
I'm insignificant.

994
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:55,160
And I think what I had to realize was that I was thinking of God being limited and he's

995
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:56,840
not limited.

996
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,040
He he was he's everywhere at once.

997
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,200
He's all knowing he's all seeing he's all everywhere.

998
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,840
He's all loving.

999
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:12,160
And that really opened up eyes for me to understand that I love God because he loved me first.

1000
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:17,720
I love others because he loved me first as well, and that I understand that accepting

1001
00:56:17,720 --> 00:56:23,200
him, I learn who he is so I can share the love of God had for me to others.

1002
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:28,100
And no matter the situation that I may in may be in like it's better off than a lot

1003
00:56:28,100 --> 00:56:29,400
of other people.

1004
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:34,800
That doesn't mean that I give up or slow down that consistently show the love of Christ

1005
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:40,200
to those around me so that they can experience the beauty of the Holy Spirit in their lives

1006
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:46,400
and their daily walk and who God is to them, no matter what they're dealing with, if they

1007
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:50,480
are or aren't dealing with something, it's important to know that God's there.

1008
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:56,200
So yeah, definitely stuff I've dealt with for sure.

1009
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:57,200
In the past.

1010
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,280
Hey, I think at some point.

1011
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:07,760
I think most people have probably gone through something similar with that, you know, like,

1012
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:15,840
you think like China or it's like you get caught, you're in jail for three years or

1013
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:16,840
whatever you are.

1014
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,880
Why they haven't memorized over there.

1015
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,000
It's like, it's crazy.

1016
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:26,480
God's love is, you know, for everyone.

1017
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,760
It's crazy how much he loves us.

1018
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:35,360
You think about it like how much you love your wife.

1019
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,960
He loves her more than you.

1020
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:38,960
Yep.

1021
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:43,120
Which is like that puts a little jealous, a little jealous.

1022
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:47,880
No, yeah, like I'm going like, well, well, that's weird because like I'm like.

1023
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:53,360
I'm like, there's nobody on this earth.

1024
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:57,640
On this earth or, you know, and I'm the human realm.

1025
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:02,720
I should say, you know, you know, there's nobody else on this planet that loves physical.

1026
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:03,720
Yeah.

1027
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,760
That loves my wife and my son more than me.

1028
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:16,400
And I realized that God loves like, like I'm blown out of the water.

1029
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:20,120
That's it in perspective.

1030
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,400
Every time.

1031
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:30,360
What's really crazy is that every time, every time you start thinking, I had a pastor that

1032
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:35,360
I used to talk to a lot church, I didn't go to, but I went there a couple of times to

1033
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:41,360
get to know the pastor and they told me if you really want to get into it and get some

1034
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,960
practice in about the idea behind how much God loves us.

1035
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:52,120
Every time you see someone that may cut you off or maybe you're like just rude or they

1036
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:56,800
shut the door in front of you or anything, look at them and say God died for them.

1037
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,320
He loved them so much.

1038
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:05,720
And the perspective there is to change your mentality towards other people because we

1039
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,320
tend to think, oh, we're special.

1040
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:14,640
And you know, God died for everyone to have that freedom to accept him or to not accept

1041
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:15,640
him.

1042
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,840
And he's going to respect their decision, whether they do or don't.

1043
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:24,520
And starting to think that mentality, someone's just angry and cusses at you and walks away.

1044
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,340
You're like God died for him.

1045
00:59:27,340 --> 00:59:29,480
He loves him so much.

1046
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:34,440
And that you just remind yourself every time because that's going to change how you interact

1047
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,940
with everybody in your life beyond anything else you can tell yourself.

1048
00:59:38,940 --> 00:59:40,280
God died for that person.

1049
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,520
The same that he died for me.

1050
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,440
I need to show that person compassion.

1051
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:45,680
I need to show that person love.

1052
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,400
I need to show that person patience.

1053
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:55,880
And that's consistent with what God is and who he is.

1054
00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:00,760
So yeah, I think that's a really important distinguishment.

1055
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:05,640
And I think that's a good practice for everybody listening is that when you are going through

1056
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:10,760
life and someone flips you off, someone, you know, someone cuts you off, somebody shuts

1057
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:16,240
the door in your face, someone's just angry or whatever they are, just always remind yourself

1058
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:17,800
God died for them.

1059
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,360
The same he died for me because he loves them that much.

1060
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,800
Yeah, that's very true.

1061
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:30,080
I was at a conference once and they were talking about that.

1062
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:36,080
It's interesting because, you know, our first, it seems to be like, oh, you know, you get

1063
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,080
angry with them.

1064
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,560
Like, oh, that's a brother or sister in Christ.

1065
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,040
You need to love them.

1066
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:47,280
And we're so quick to judge a lot.

1067
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:48,280
I'm guilty of it.

1068
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:52,920
You see somebody instantly have preconception about them.

1069
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:58,480
So they look like they do blah, blah, blah.

1070
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,520
They look like they're have a list or that.

1071
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:08,960
It's supposed to be like, it seems, you know, crazy with like, oh, look it.

1072
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,520
I love that person.

1073
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:16,320
Or, you know, let me love, let me show them love.

1074
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,760
And it's not easy to do.

1075
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:25,040
I assume you've been wronged by somebody and you're like, oh, think of Elmer Fudd.

1076
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,640
Like, oh, that wabbit.

1077
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:34,120
Didn't you mention it once on the podcast before that it's not our place to convict,

1078
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:35,120
but it's the Holy Spirit.

1079
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,560
So I think we both talked about that.

1080
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,880
Yeah, because I like my lip.

1081
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:41,880
Right.

1082
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,120
Because it's not our place to convict people.

1083
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:48,560
We're here to show them love of Christ, what that looks like and what's available to them

1084
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,800
to accept or not to accept.

1085
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,920
It doesn't matter if they do or don't for us, because what we're doing is sharing the

1086
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:57,040
gospel of Christ, sharing God's love.

1087
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,940
If they walk away from that, that's their choice.

1088
01:01:59,940 --> 01:02:03,960
But let the Holy Spirit do his work and convict people.

1089
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,360
See that hurts my heart.

1090
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,640
I'm like, no, you don't understand.

1091
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:09,640
You don't understand.

1092
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,120
It's like, you know, just.

1093
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,800
It's hard to believe you confess, please.

1094
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:15,800
Real quick.

1095
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:16,800
So you're good.

1096
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,080
But then you can't just do that real quick.

1097
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:24,520
Just say this little prayer with me now, because it's not about they go off and they're like,

1098
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:25,520
OK, that was cool.

1099
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:26,520
Whatever.

1100
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,240
Maybe God speaks into the life.

1101
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:29,240
Maybe he doesn't.

1102
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:30,240
Right.

1103
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,760
Because you can't force me to have a relationship.

1104
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:34,760
Right.

1105
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:35,760
Exactly.

1106
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:36,760
You can't force him.

1107
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,320
Somebody go to somebody like you are now my wife.

1108
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,760
It's like think about any celebrity, any celebrity.

1109
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,360
Do you walk up to someone say, do you love this celebrity?

1110
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:46,800
And they're like, yeah, I love that person.

1111
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,640
Do you think they really know that person?

1112
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:54,280
Like, no, they're not going to sit there and be like, oh, they go to breakfast at a.m.

1113
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,120
They like their avocado toast.

1114
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,240
Like I know that they like going to this one restaurant.

1115
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:00,320
Like, no, no, no.

1116
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:06,280
Like the idea and concept here is that you can't just have someone say, do you love Jesus

1117
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:07,280
Christ?

1118
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:08,280
Sure.

1119
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:09,280
OK, now you're going to heaven.

1120
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,560
No, it's a relationship.

1121
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,360
Yeah, there's no other conditions.

1122
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:14,480
Yes, that's correct.

1123
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:19,600
But it says to repent and follow him.

1124
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,920
To believe in him that he is the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

1125
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:24,920
Do you believe?

1126
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,720
Do you have faith that he did die and come back to life?

1127
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:29,720
Great.

1128
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:30,720
You confess that.

1129
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:31,720
That's it.

1130
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:32,720
Great.

1131
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:33,720
Now you're on the right path.

1132
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,840
Do you believe in life after love?

1133
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,760
Life after love.

1134
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,360
I can feel something inside of me.

1135
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:43,360
Is this a song?

1136
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,440
I don't know if I'm strong enough.

1137
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:46,440
Yeah.

1138
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:47,440
OK, I share.

1139
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:48,440
I was confused.

1140
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:49,440
I know you were.

1141
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:50,440
I don't know.

1142
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,440
I was confused.

1143
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:52,440
I know you were.

1144
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:53,440
I don't know.

1145
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:54,440
For homeschooled boy.

1146
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:59,000
He's like, I don't listen to mainstream music.

1147
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,400
I listen to our awesome playlist on Spotify.

1148
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,000
Oh, the Gospel Truth Project playlist on Spotify.

1149
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:07,000
That's my music.

1150
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,000
I literally listen to all four.

1151
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,720
You listen to all four of them?

1152
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,240
We listen to we're in a Z in Arizona.

1153
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:15,240
I was like, oh, my.

1154
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:16,240
Oh, oh, no.

1155
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,360
Our wives are looking at us like these nerds.

1156
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,720
We're listening to dumb dumb by the Cranchi.

1157
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,800
She like, we don't even listen to it.

1158
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,240
We just figuring out the words sitting there talking.

1159
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,240
Yeah.

1160
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,240
We got to play it.

1161
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:32,240
We got to play it.

1162
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:33,840
And we got to play it.

1163
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,840
Do on the way home to this.

1164
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:41,320
I listen to one 16 L anthem like the man up.

1165
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:42,320
Oh, man.

1166
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:43,320
I do.

1167
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,320
I was like, this is good.

1168
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:47,320
Yeah.

1169
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,440
As the kids say, that slaps.

1170
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:50,440
Yeah.

1171
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:55,240
If you haven't listened to it already, we have GTP playlist on Spotify.

1172
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,000
They're free as long as you have Spotify, I guess.

1173
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,920
But they're just playlists.

1174
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:04,880
They have positive and Christian music on there, depending on genre that you like listening

1175
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:05,880
to.

1176
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,320
And we'll keep expanding.

1177
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:08,320
I don't know.

1178
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,320
You're going to have to.

1179
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,920
You're going to have to do the country one, dude.

1180
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:11,920
I can't.

1181
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:12,920
He's just.

1182
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:17,440
What country is like Jesus music?

1183
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:18,440
Not really.

1184
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:23,000
If you just say like, I like my pick up truck, my dog and my whiskey.

1185
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,640
I don't know if I consider it Christian, though.

1186
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:27,640
OK.

1187
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:32,000
Thank God for my pickup truck and my dog and some whiskey.

1188
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,000
It's just like saying the word.

1189
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,600
The word is probably your words.

1190
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,120
I get what it means.

1191
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:38,760
I know you search.

1192
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:39,760
You search up.

1193
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:40,760
God.

1194
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:41,760
Yeah.

1195
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:48,800
Truck, dog and whiskey for in a country song, you'll get at least one or two.

1196
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,840
It's like it's like saying it's like saying what?

1197
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:53,920
Like bless his heart.

1198
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,240
It doesn't mean bless his heart.

1199
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:56,240
It means a lot.

1200
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:57,240
Something else.

1201
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,440
People just say it down there is like because it's the thing to say.

1202
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:01,440
That's your little heart.

1203
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:02,440
But little heart.

1204
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:03,440
That's your little heart.

1205
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:08,120
Yeah, that's a pastor I used to work for.

1206
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,000
It's just like all this all say is a Christian.

1207
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,000
Bless their little heart.

1208
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,680
It's like, wait a minute.

1209
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:20,280
Yeah, it's it's yeah.

1210
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:21,760
Playlists are pretty dope.

1211
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:22,960
They're fun.

1212
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:24,960
You don't have Spotify.

1213
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:29,200
I'm if you don't use Apple.

1214
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:30,880
Let's grab one.

1215
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,400
Have a podcast.

1216
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:34,400
That's a good one.

1217
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:35,400
So yeah.

1218
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:39,840
You might be already a week early.

1219
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:40,840
Could be.

1220
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:41,840
Don't know.

1221
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:42,840
Don't know.

1222
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:43,840
We will.

1223
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:45,280
We'll see.

1224
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:46,280
But not right now.

1225
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:52,640
We don't know because we're recording this episode before we get too sidetracked.

1226
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:53,640
Cool.

1227
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,640
I'll go ahead and pray for us.

1228
01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:03,240
Just want to be praying right now, especially I.

1229
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:09,920
I just say as somebody who is a pastor and been leadership in a Hawaiian church and Samoan

1230
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:16,680
church and some of that, I don't know if everybody's aware or they've heard about the Maui fires.

1231
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:22,960
But if we could, there's like this, there's I think this record like 100, 100 deaths and

1232
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,140
there's still about like 900 and something people missing.

1233
01:07:26,140 --> 01:07:28,760
So basically a thousand.

1234
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:35,160
You guys could take separate time, just not during this podcast, but you know, during

1235
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:44,120
your daily, you know, your commute to work, your before you go to bed or whatever it is,

1236
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:51,320
just pray for them and just pray that it helped and that they would just for the families,

1237
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:56,400
Lord, and be with them.

1238
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,880
So I'm going to start in prayer.

1239
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:02,520
I'm going to go with that as well.

1240
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:11,240
Your Lord, I just lift up brother Jason and I and everything that you allow us to get

1241
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:19,440
to do allowed us to do this podcast Lord and to run a gospel truth project.

1242
01:08:19,440 --> 01:08:22,360
I pray a blessing on it, Lord.

1243
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:26,360
We'd show people your love through this Lord.

1244
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:33,720
It would not be our own and that we're doing, but it'd be something that you are wanting

1245
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:34,720
to do through us.

1246
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:46,200
The Lord, I just pray for the families and Maui right now pray for all our families over

1247
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:53,600
there that Lord that you would just use this as an opportunity Lord to show them your love.

1248
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:58,200
Lord, I just pray for healing Lord for those who need healing right now that are battling

1249
01:08:58,200 --> 01:08:59,200
in the hospital.

1250
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:07,160
Say Lord, I just pray for use this tragedy as a time for growth in your kingdom Lord

1251
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,880
and that they would grow back stronger Lord.

1252
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:21,040
You just keep everyone safe and just pray for your love, the rain and your name.

1253
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,040
Amen.

1254
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:23,040
Amen.

1255
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,040
