WEBVTT 00:00:04.029 --> 00:00:08.789 Learn to be loved. And this is found when we 00:00:08.789 --> 00:00:15.330 learn to live in Him. He is pure love. I want 00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:19.949 to see you in that posture, where you see a sour 00:00:19.949 --> 00:00:25.329 -faced person, and you express the love of God 00:00:25.329 --> 00:00:29.929 to them, to a point where they feel uncomfortable. 00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:37.079 What's wrong with him? Why is he expressing so 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.780 much love? It's because Christ is working in 00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:44.820 him. The Spirit of God is working in him. Say, 00:00:44.979 --> 00:00:51.619 man, please. You know what this is going to do? 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.700 This is going to expose the flesh in the church. 00:00:59.369 --> 00:01:05.750 But it's gonna give love to pray for them. And 00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:16.950 also to have mercy in us. What does it mean to 00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:21.069 live in Him? We will know our true identity. 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.859 The bride will begin to be transformed. Revelation 00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:46.920 19. Verse 7 and 8. It's hot. Cold. Get near to 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.719 the fire then, because it's hot. You're hot too, 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.569 right? I got a witness already. Cool. Pastor 00:01:53.569 --> 00:02:08.090 is not pastor's age. Revelation 19 verse 7. Let 00:02:08.090 --> 00:02:13.569 us be glad and rejoice and give him glory for 00:02:13.569 --> 00:02:15.889 the marriage of the lamb has come and his wife 00:02:15.889 --> 00:02:20.319 has made herself ready. This revelation has to 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.099 enter the body so that the church can then be 00:02:24.099 --> 00:02:28.919 prepared. Imagine, the closer you are to the 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.560 heart of God, the more Jesus is going to want 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.599 to be with you. The more you're going to want 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.560 to be with him. And the more you're going to 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.319 prepare. Number five, while living in Christ, 00:02:45.299 --> 00:02:55.939 Say with me, in him we live. Number five. We 00:02:55.939 --> 00:02:59.080 will live free of all condemnation, all shame, 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.479 and all guiltiness. Say amen, please. Romanos 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:21.330 8 -1. Are you ready? Romanos 8 -1. put it up 00:03:21.330 --> 00:03:35.789 there please Oh, there is therefore now no condemnation 00:03:35.789 --> 00:03:39.270 to those who are in who in Christ Jesus. Those 00:03:39.270 --> 00:03:44.930 who are in Christ Jesus have been redeemed, have 00:03:44.930 --> 00:03:49.590 been washed, have been purified, justified in 00:03:49.590 --> 00:03:57.120 Christ. Say amen please. And there's no condemnation 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.199 because you are in Christ. He continues to work 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:07.740 in you, but in him is a perfect work. He already 00:04:07.740 --> 00:04:12.120 completed it. You're completed in him. But now 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.779 you're working it. Now he's working it so that 00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:22.800 it can be manifested. Here it goes again. There 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:33.639 is therefore now no condemnation. No condemnation 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.519 to those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.540 according to what? To the flesh, but according 00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:43.980 to the spirit. It's time to be living free of 00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:48.259 condemnation. Free of shame. Free of guiltiness. 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.660 You are in Christ. Kept in Christ. In communion 00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:58.839 with Christ. In Christ. His spirit is in you. 00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:03.620 You are the temple. And he is the bigger temple. 00:05:05.709 --> 00:05:11.769 There's no condemnation. Pastor, but I sinned. 00:05:12.009 --> 00:05:15.750 Well, then repent. Those who confess their sins. 00:05:17.610 --> 00:05:22.089 He is just and true to forgive them. He justified 00:05:22.089 --> 00:05:27.810 you. He made you His own righteousness. He gave 00:05:27.810 --> 00:05:34.790 you a new form. Now you are in such a way that 00:05:34.790 --> 00:05:39.149 he wants you to be. It's not that you can leave 00:05:39.149 --> 00:05:43.439 him and then come back in. You are in Christ. 00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:46.100 Can I have the worship to you? Say with me, I 00:05:46.100 --> 00:05:51.120 am in Christ. And there's no condemnation. So 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.980 it doesn't matter what the man wants to tell 00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:58.319 you. What your sister or your brother want to 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.439 tell you. It doesn't matter what they come to 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.240 murmur. But if I am in righteousness with the 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.259 Lord, there's no condemnation. Christ fights 00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:14.500 for me. I don't have to defend myself. He himself 00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:19.500 defends me. He says mine is the vengeance. Stay 00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:23.600 right there. Don't worry. I will fight for you. 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.500 Mine is the vengeance. It's not yours, leave 00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:33.889 it to me. He is our advocate. And he is the judge. 00:06:36.670 --> 00:06:40.769 He comes to judge our enemy. And then he comes 00:06:40.769 --> 00:06:48.769 to make us righteous. There's no condemnation. 00:06:48.970 --> 00:06:53.529 Say with me, there's no condemnation. How was 00:06:53.529 --> 00:06:57.839 it when you were walking in religion? Oh, I sinned. 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:09.740 What do I have to do now? I have to work to see 00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:13.399 if God is pleased with my sacrifice. No, it's 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.180 just that it's not your sacrifice anymore. It's 00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:19.399 that there's already a sacrifice. One sacrifice 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.240 forever. And it's the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. 00:07:24.339 --> 00:07:28.519 And he himself placed you in him. So that whenever 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:35.100 you're wrong, you confess your sin. And his sacrifice... 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.480 is more than enough to forgive you time and time 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:45.079 again. And he makes you righteous. Please say 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:53.139 amen. Number six. The Spirit of God begins to 00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:55.060 form the image of Christ in us. When you're in 00:07:55.060 --> 00:08:00.759 Him, He is working Himself in you. He is putting 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.819 of Himself in you. How am I, how do I remain 00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:13.100 in Him? Worshiping, mindful of Him. My entire 00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:18.310 day I'm thinking of the Lord. How good he is. 00:08:19.310 --> 00:08:26.110 How merciful he is. How gracious he is. How loving 00:08:26.110 --> 00:08:32.190 he is. How he is with me. How is he with my children. 00:08:34.809 --> 00:08:38.149 He maintains with a tender heart. He keeps me 00:08:38.149 --> 00:08:45.049 with a tender heart. Number seven, because you 00:08:45.049 --> 00:08:52.570 are in Him and you live in Him, you are also 00:08:52.570 --> 00:08:56.169 seated in heavenly places with Him. Ephesians 00:08:56.169 --> 00:09:02.379 2 .6. Ephesians 2 .6. I'm almost done. I want 00:09:02.379 --> 00:09:07.519 you to learn what it means to be in Him. This 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:14.940 is what Holy Spirit desires. And raised us up 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:26.159 together with Him, in Him. and made us sit together 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.259 in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So when 00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:34.759 Jesus sits down, you also sit down. When Jesus 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:39.340 reigns, you also reign. When Jesus heals, you 00:09:39.340 --> 00:09:46.279 also heal. It's not you. It's Christ who placed 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.080 you in him. And now it's him working through 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:57.779 you. You're not a miracle worker. It's him. It's 00:09:57.779 --> 00:10:05.039 his grace. It's his power. He uses you. And glory 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.879 to God for that. But it's not your power. It's 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:12.100 not your wisdom. It's not your grace. It's all 00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:17.340 Him. It all comes from Him. Everything flows 00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:24.279 from Him. He's divine. His substance flows through 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:36.269 us. Say, man, please. Number eight. Because we 00:10:36.269 --> 00:10:41.970 live in Him, now His wisdom, His righteousness, 00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:49.629 His holiness, His redemption works through us 00:10:49.629 --> 00:10:58.090 and begins perfecting us. 1 Corinthians chapter 00:10:58.090 --> 00:11:12.830 1 verse 30. But of him you are in Christ. Say 00:11:12.830 --> 00:11:19.330 with me, in Christ. And what does it say? Read 00:11:19.330 --> 00:11:36.029 it with me. from god and righteousness and sanctification 00:11:36.029 --> 00:11:45.090 and redemption verse 31 that as it is written 00:11:45.090 --> 00:11:51.190 he who glories let him glory in the lord so because 00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:57.049 we're in him We have access to his mind. He gave 00:11:57.049 --> 00:12:04.389 us his mind. His wisdom now should flow through 00:12:04.389 --> 00:12:12.070 our lives. There comes a time in your life because 00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:13.990 your conscience of your position with the Lord, 00:12:15.769 --> 00:12:18.720 that wisdom just simply springs out of you. It's 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:26.610 wisdom of God. which means it's wisdom that you 00:12:26.610 --> 00:12:29.289 never started to receive. Let me repeat that. 00:12:30.350 --> 00:12:38.389 It's wisdom of God, which means you never studied 00:12:38.389 --> 00:12:43.289 that to obtain wisdom. God himself, from the 00:12:43.289 --> 00:12:47.590 heavens, from his heart, from his Holy Spirit, 00:12:48.330 --> 00:12:53.600 gave it to you, and it sprouts out of you. So 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:59.019 in you, there's wisdom to know how to manage 00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:02.799 the stocks of today. The market. Oh, the market 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:07.230 of today. In you, there's wisdom. To know how 00:13:07.230 --> 00:13:13.230 to confront the recession that the world is going 00:13:13.230 --> 00:13:15.750 to receive but that you won't receive. You see, 00:13:15.870 --> 00:13:19.549 you don't believe it. You are in Christ. He is 00:13:19.549 --> 00:13:22.250 the King of the Heavens. In the Kingdom of the 00:13:22.250 --> 00:13:30.750 Heavens, there's no recession. Nothing fluctuates. 00:13:31.929 --> 00:13:38.740 It's all constant. From his kingdom there will 00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:44.139 be no end. It will continue expanding and expanding 00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:49.600 and expanding. And according to scripture, it 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:54.000 says that we have the wisdom of God. It says 00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:01.100 in him, you in Christ Jesus, who has become for 00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:07.899 us. wisdom gives us wisdom he makes us wisdom 00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:12.960 which means that you become Christ wisdom for 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:22.789 multitudes wisdom for marriage wisdom for the 00:14:22.789 --> 00:14:24.070 parents of how to take care of their children 00:14:24.070 --> 00:14:32.049 wisdom to know how to manage your business wisdom 00:14:32.049 --> 00:14:36.750 to know how to advance the kingdom wisdom to 00:14:36.750 --> 00:14:40.490 know how to take care of your body the fountain 00:14:40.490 --> 00:14:49.289 of wisdom And now His fountain is over a -punching 00:14:49.289 --> 00:14:53.610 in you. It should be normal for you to carry 00:14:53.610 --> 00:14:59.350 wisdom. And not only wisdom, but righteousness. 00:15:03.629 --> 00:15:05.889 The scripture says that we are His righteousness 00:15:05.889 --> 00:15:13.840 in Christ. We are righteous just as He is righteous. 00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:18.700 We can't be more righteous than Him. And we can't 00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:22.179 be less righteous. It doesn't matter what you 00:15:22.179 --> 00:15:25.620 do. You will never be less righteous than Him 00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:28.559 or more righteous. And it doesn't matter what 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.940 you do. You won't be less righteous. If you are 00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:38.559 in Christ Jesus, He Himself, He Himself, He Himself 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.500 has made you His righteousness. You didn't do 00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:46.720 anything. He only said, I love you so much. I'm 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.100 going to make sure that you don't get lost. I'm 00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:52.600 going to place you in me. I'm going to make you 00:15:52.600 --> 00:16:01.779 righteous just as I am righteous. You're going 00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:03.399 to be so righteous that you're going to be introduced 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:05.100 into the relationship that I have with my Father 00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:06.860 and with the Holy Spirit. I will introduce you 00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:11.149 to that. And that is called perichoresis. It's 00:16:11.149 --> 00:16:18.190 the circle of intimacy where he all allows you 00:16:18.190 --> 00:16:24.340 entrance. And he gives you sanctification. He 00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:29.120 says, be holy as I am holy. I make you holy as 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.100 I am holy. But I am working in you. Because you 00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:36.639 still don't believe me. Because you still think 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.139 that I'm separated from you. But blessed should 00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:43.659 be the Spirit of God. That is working in you. 00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:48.340 That is convincing you. That you are in Christ. 00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:53.110 Christ and he is in you and the both of us are 00:16:53.110 --> 00:16:57.970 in the Father. We are kept by the Father growing 00:16:57.970 --> 00:17:06.369 in Christ, growing in God, getting to know Christ. 00:17:06.630 --> 00:17:10.710 And that you are complete redemption. Number 00:17:10.710 --> 00:17:19.640 nine. Colossians chapter two. So beautiful Holy 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:29.440 Spirit. Say with me, it's time to learn. The 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:34.599 Spirit of God calls me to maturity. Ready? Colossians 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:46.259 2, verse 6. And then as you therefore have received 00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:49.980 Christ Jesus the Lord So what what in him? She 00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:52.619 said she's that's honest to you if you make a 00:17:52.619 --> 00:17:57.539 study one that this is Paulo Pedro Who does? 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.279 Juan how many times Lucas Peter John Luke Judas? 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.460 No, see for gay on leader the hood us. Yes. Well, 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.339 no, no, it might be because there is a book of 00:18:08.339 --> 00:18:11.160 Judas But it's the good book not a horrible Santiago 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:18.890 James If you make a study of how many times the 00:18:18.890 --> 00:18:29.049 word in Him or with Christ or with Him, it's 00:18:29.049 --> 00:18:33.930 more than 150 times that appear in the New Testament 00:18:33.930 --> 00:18:38.569 because they walked with that understanding. 00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:43.059 Nunca se visualizaron fuera de Cristo. They never 00:18:43.059 --> 00:18:45.759 visualized themselves outside of Christ. Sabían 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:47.539 que estaban en Cristo. They knew that they were 00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:49.519 in Christ. Pero regresemos al versículo 6. But 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.160 let's go back to verse 6. Por tanto, de la manera 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.339 que habéis recibido al Señor Jesucristo, andad 00:18:54.339 --> 00:18:56.720 en él. As you therefore have received Christ 00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:59.279 Jesus the Lord, so walk in him. Come on, lealo. 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.759 Arraigado. Vamos, lea, read it. It says rooted. 00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:06.880 Y sobredificado. And built up. Adonde? Where? 00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:14.690 En él. In... and established in the faith as 00:19:14.690 --> 00:19:21.710 you have been taught. Abundant in it with thanksgiving. 00:19:23.150 --> 00:19:29.089 Next verse is key. Beware lest anyone cheat you 00:19:29.089 --> 00:19:37.380 through philosophy. An empty deceit. According 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:42.900 to the tradition of men, that's religion. According 00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:49.119 to the basic principles of the world. And not 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:55.980 according to Christ. Verse 9. Say with me, in 00:19:55.980 --> 00:20:04.869 Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. It 00:20:04.869 --> 00:20:10.829 means that the Father, the Son, and the Holy 00:20:10.829 --> 00:20:17.710 Spirit, they all abide together in Him, and He 00:20:17.710 --> 00:20:25.049 placed us in Him. Verse 10. And you, and say 00:20:25.049 --> 00:20:28.769 with me, I include myself. Look at the person 00:20:28.769 --> 00:20:30.869 next to you and tell him, it includes you too. 00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:38.740 It says, you are incomplete. Come on, what does 00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:45.059 it say? It says, you are complete. Where? In 00:20:45.059 --> 00:20:51.640 Him. Who is the head of all principality and 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:59.319 power? Him and Him. He took you and placed you 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:04.279 in Him. And He says, now you're complete. You 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.440 have my peace. You have my joy. You have my wisdom. 00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:13.200 You have my presence. You have my Holy Spirit. 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.420 You have my grace. My righteousness. My power. 00:21:19.059 --> 00:21:24.000 My authority. You lack nothing. You are complete. 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:32.619 In me. Now out of that posture, he is working 00:21:32.619 --> 00:21:38.190 that truth. than you. He is working and you are 00:21:38.190 --> 00:21:41.650 loved just as He is loved. You are as righteous 00:21:41.650 --> 00:21:46.849 as He is righteous. You are well taken care of 00:21:46.849 --> 00:21:50.170 as He is taken care of. You have everything that 00:21:50.170 --> 00:21:58.549 He has. In love. He placed you there. We're completed 00:21:58.549 --> 00:22:03.420 in Him. When we live in We begin to understand 00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:08.000 I lack nothing I don't need anything I'm pulling 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:11.859 in Whether I have it or I don't have it Who said 00:22:11.859 --> 00:22:16.220 that? Paul said that I know how to live in lack 00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:20.640 I know how to live in abundance He knew how to 00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:23.819 live in God He knew how to live in Christ So 00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:28.059 it doesn't matter what the When you are in Christ, 00:22:28.059 --> 00:22:32.099 you are in Christ, kept in Christ, protected 00:22:32.099 --> 00:22:37.019 in Christ, sustained in Christ, given life in 00:22:37.019 --> 00:22:44.339 Christ. Say thank you Jesus. I'm going to give 00:22:44.339 --> 00:22:46.000 you one extra before giving you the last one. 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:52.960 When you are in Christ, John 11. Let's go there 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:59.299 real quick because then you won't believe me. 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:05.059 John 11. Lift up your hand and say Holy Spirit 00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:11.980 of God. Say thank you. Thank you very much. John 00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:22.539 11 verse 20. The scripture says And Martha said, 00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:26.720 Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.519 would not have died. But I also know now that 00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.859 everything that you ask of God, God will give 00:23:33.859 --> 00:23:37.819 it to you. And Jesus said, your brother will 00:23:37.819 --> 00:23:39.759 be resurrected. And Martha wanted to give him 00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:43.619 a theology lesson. Verse 24 says, and Martha 00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:45.920 said, I know that he will be resurrected in the 00:23:45.920 --> 00:24:19.600 resurrection on the next day. Verse 25. Verse 00:24:19.600 --> 00:24:26.059 25. And Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection 00:24:26.059 --> 00:24:31.559 and the life. He who believes in me, so that 00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:34.420 he may die. Come on, help me. What does it say? 00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:44.799 Says, although he may die, he shall live. And 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.480 whoever lives and believes in me shall never 00:24:47.480 --> 00:25:08.779 die. I love it. Can you read that? So I'm going 00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:12.799 to give you a key. And it's true. Christ said, 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:17.079 I am the resurrection. I am the life. Even though 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.279 you die, don't worry about it. You're not going 00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:29.420 to die. Those that are in Christ have surely 00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:39.059 eternal life. Those that are in Christ. You don't 00:25:39.059 --> 00:25:43.259 believe that. Read it again. Go back. Verse 25, 00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:49.019 please. Jesus said, I am the resurrection and 00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:52.799 the life. And he who believes in me, even though 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.279 they may die, what does it say? They will live. 00:25:59.779 --> 00:26:04.880 Where are those? Where are they placed? Those 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:12.200 that believe in Him. Their place in Him. My question 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:20.259 is, Christ will die again? Yes or no? No. He 00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:23.920 will live eternally. So those that are in Christ 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:30.539 will also have life. Eternal life. They never 00:26:30.539 --> 00:26:38.299 die. That is what has strengthened me in the 00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:43.240 Lord. Because I know that my girl, even though 00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:48.039 she died physically, she hasn't died. She is 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:55.500 completely alive in Christ Jesus. That is the 00:26:55.500 --> 00:27:00.980 truth. That is the truth for which we walk and 00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:04.380 place our faith in Christ Jesus. Only Christ 00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:09.480 died and resurrected. The scripture said and 00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:12.839 we read it before. Those that have died with 00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:19.279 Christ have resurrected in Him, with Him, and 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:24.950 now they have the same life as Him. So what are 00:27:24.950 --> 00:27:32.809 you afraid of? Why do you walk with fear? You 00:27:32.809 --> 00:27:36.650 are complete in it. You are kept in it. You have 00:27:36.650 --> 00:27:41.069 life in it. You have eternal life in it. Then 00:27:41.069 --> 00:27:45.269 tomorrow, if someone graduates, what are we going 00:27:45.269 --> 00:27:48.910 to do? We're going to celebrate. Glory to God. 00:27:50.470 --> 00:27:55.490 They fulfilled their career. But they are more 00:27:55.490 --> 00:27:59.369 alive than ever before here on Earth. Are we 00:27:59.369 --> 00:28:05.319 here? Number 10. That was an extra one. And I 00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:10.619 will finish with this. Those that live in Christ. 00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:14.640 Those that have their life in Christ. In Christ. 00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:22.900 We are exposed and placed in the plain light 00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:29.940 of Christ. We're gonna go back to one of the 00:28:29.940 --> 00:28:40.519 first verses we read John 1 verse 1 Are you receiving? 00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:47.440 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was 00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:54.960 with God and the Word was God He was in the beginning 00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:02.680 with God. All things were made through Him. And 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.920 without Him, nothing was made that was made. 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:13.900 And here we go. In Him was what? Life. And how 00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:21.380 was this life? And the life was what? The light 00:29:21.380 --> 00:29:31.220 of men. And the light shines in the darkness 00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:35.319 and the darkness did not comprehend it. Let's 00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:38.220 go to first John chapter 1. You could just translate 00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:42.079 verbatim. I'm going to read it in the passion 00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:47.119 translation. This is the account of John the 00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:53.970 beloved. And it says like this. We saw him with 00:29:53.970 --> 00:29:58.789 our very own eyes. We gazed upon him and heard 00:29:58.789 --> 00:30:07.589 him speak. Our hands actually touched him. The 00:30:07.589 --> 00:30:12.109 one who was from the beginning. The living expression 00:30:12.109 --> 00:30:22.390 of God. This life giver was more visible. and 00:30:22.390 --> 00:30:25.509 we have seen Him was made visible and we have 00:30:25.509 --> 00:30:32.309 seen Him. We testify to this truth that the eternal 00:30:32.309 --> 00:30:38.890 life giver lived face to face with the Father 00:30:38.890 --> 00:30:46.710 and has now dawned upon us. So we proclaim to 00:30:46.710 --> 00:30:53.440 you What we have seen and heard about the life 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:58.539 giver. So that we may share and enjoy this life 00:30:58.539 --> 00:31:04.079 together. For truly our fellowship is with the 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:10.920 Father and with the Son, Jesus. The anointed 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:15.880 one. We're writing these things to you because 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:24.619 we want to release to you our fullest joy. And 00:31:24.619 --> 00:31:27.519 this is the life -giving message we heard him 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:34.630 share. And it's still ringing in our ears. We 00:31:34.630 --> 00:31:39.190 now repeat these words to you. Listen to these 00:31:39.190 --> 00:31:45.289 words. God is pure light. You will never find 00:31:45.289 --> 00:31:52.930 even a trace of darkness in him. God is pure 00:31:52.930 --> 00:31:57.730 light. And you'll never find even a trace of 00:31:57.730 --> 00:32:04.819 darkness in him. This is what we're called to. 00:32:06.339 --> 00:32:11.319 To live a life full of light. His light. Radiating 00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:19.200 through us. Pure light. When you walk in him, 00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:28.990 you live in him. You begin to live a life where 00:32:28.990 --> 00:32:32.230 God himself takes you out of all aspects of darkness. 00:32:33.329 --> 00:32:36.029 And all of a sudden his light shines through 00:32:36.029 --> 00:32:48.369 you. You become an open book. A living letter 00:32:48.369 --> 00:32:57.869 of the Lord. And the last verse. First John chapter 00:32:57.869 --> 00:33:10.329 two. Verse six. How many of you say you are in 00:33:10.329 --> 00:33:14.509 him? How many are you being convinced that you 00:33:14.509 --> 00:33:19.509 are in him? Lift up your hand. So this is a message 00:33:19.509 --> 00:33:26.920 for us. He who says he abides in him, here's 00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:32.480 the challenge, ought himself also to walk just 00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:37.220 as he walked. This is what we've been called 00:33:37.220 --> 00:33:43.640 for. This is why we were placed in him, to walk 00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:50.099 as he walked, to be as he is. He is our big brother 00:33:50.099 --> 00:33:55.089 and we're the little brother. But we're made 00:33:55.089 --> 00:33:59.029 in the same image. We have the same essence. 00:34:00.750 --> 00:34:05.329 Than our Lord Jesus Christ. He makes us full. 00:34:06.529 --> 00:34:10.289 Or complete and He purifies us. He makes us righteous. 00:34:13.110 --> 00:34:17.989 He teaches us to be loved. He establishes us 00:34:17.989 --> 00:34:23.739 in His love. Everything that He is. His essence. 00:34:23.820 --> 00:34:33.619 His pureness. He gave it to you. He says, peace 00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:38.639 I leave with you. He says, my peace I give to 00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:48.480 you. Not like the peace that the world has. That 00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:50.780 peace that surprised you or that continues to 00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:56.119 surprise you in the scripture. When they're in 00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:57.860 the boat and then there's a tremendous storm. 00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:04.500 And he's resting asleep. That same peace he gave 00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:10.840 to you. It's already in you. It has to be cultivated 00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.320 in you. It's in you. It has to be worked in you. 00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:21.559 So we enter into this new series of learning 00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:27.219 what is to be in Him. To be in Him. How to move 00:35:27.219 --> 00:35:34.139 in Him. How to be in Him. And may the Lord help 00:35:34.139 --> 00:35:40.619 us. If you tell me pastor. This message confronted 00:35:40.619 --> 00:35:46.900 me in a good way, not a bad one. I want to learn 00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:50.199 how to lift up your hands.
