1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,680
We now present Dr. Bob Jones, Sr., internationally

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,039
known evangelist and founder of Bob Jones University,

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,860
who during his earthly ministry was one of

4
00:00:09,860 --> 00:00:11,880
God's great warriors for the faith.

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,940
Dr. Jones' message is one in a series

6
00:00:14,940 --> 00:00:17,480
entitled, Word of Truth.

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:19,760
I want to read some verses from the

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,120
8th chapter of the Book of Romans, Romans

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,580
8th chapter, and read several verses, beginning at

10
00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:26,300
the first verse.

11
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:30,000
There is therefore now no condemnation of them

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,220
which are in Christ Jesus, which walk not

13
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:33,840
after flesh but after spirit.

14
00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:36,060
For the law of the spirit of life

15
00:00:36,060 --> 00:00:38,280
in Christ Jesus hath made me free from

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,540
the law of sin and death.

17
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,980
For what the law could not do, and

18
00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:44,420
that was weak, through the flesh God sending

19
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:47,040
his own Son in the likeness of sinful

20
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,040
flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the

21
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:50,420
flesh.

22
00:00:50,980 --> 00:00:53,220
That the righteousness of the law might be

23
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:56,100
fulfilled in us, who walk not after flesh

24
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:56,920
but after spirit.

25
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,260
For they that are after the flesh do

26
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:01,400
mind the things of the flesh, but they

27
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,940
that are after the spirit, the things of

28
00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:03,340
the spirit.

29
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,580
For to be carnally minded is death, but

30
00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:08,840
to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

31
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:11,440
Because a carnal mind is at enmity against

32
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,960
God, but is not subject to the law

33
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,340
of God, neither indeed can be.

34
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:16,700
So then, they that are in the flesh

35
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:18,540
cannot please God.

36
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,860
But ye are not in the flesh, but

37
00:01:20,860 --> 00:01:21,380
in the spirit.

38
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,000
If so, be your spirit of God dwell

39
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,480
in you.

40
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:25,160
Now, if any man have not the spirit

41
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,400
of Christ, he is none of his.

42
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,400
That's a deft and clear-cut, unequivocal statement.

43
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,840
The people who are in the flesh, that

44
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,500
is, unregenerated people, who are not in the

45
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:38,960
spirit, cannot please God.

46
00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:43,420
Now, a Christian can please God, because he

47
00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:44,200
has a new nature.

48
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,020
But the flesh can never please God.

49
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:51,020
Now, flesh here is man in the raw,

50
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,500
man as he is naturally.

51
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,880
Not what he is supernaturally, it's what he

52
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,460
is naturally.

53
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,220
Now, God has judged the flesh.

54
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,900
I want you to notice this verse back

55
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:02,140
up here, where he said, His own Son,

56
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:04,480
in likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,

57
00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:05,960
condemns sin in the flesh.

58
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,780
Now, the Lord Jesus Christ came down from

59
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:09,380
heaven to earth.

60
00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:11,440
He was in the form of man.

61
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,000
He took on a human form.

62
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:14,880
But He was without sin.

63
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,480
He's the only person who ever lived in

64
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,240
the world, walked around among men in a

65
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,260
human form without sin.

66
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:23,900
He had no sin.

67
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,400
He knew no sin.

68
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,800
He never sinned.

69
00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:29,480
He never had to say, Forgive my sins.

70
00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:31,340
Never once did He have to say it.

71
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,460
All right.

72
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,500
Now, He was in the form of man

73
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:35,900
and had no sin of His own.

74
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:39,300
But He took on Himself the sins of

75
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:39,700
man.

76
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,980
And when He died on the cross, He

77
00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:43,540
judged man in the flesh.

78
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,420
There's no good thing in the flesh.

79
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,240
Now, a man may be attractive and kind.

80
00:02:50,540 --> 00:02:51,740
He may have some good traits.

81
00:02:52,420 --> 00:02:56,200
But the flesh always produces corruption in some

82
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:56,600
form.

83
00:02:57,420 --> 00:02:59,560
Now, you'll see a Christian man sometime, born

84
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,060
again man, that'll do something wrong.

85
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,000
And you wonder why he did it.

86
00:03:03,420 --> 00:03:05,100
Well, the flesh got the better of him.

87
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,100
The flesh stepped up and took over, see.

88
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:09,620
Still the Spirit's taking over, the flesh took

89
00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:09,900
over.

90
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,140
Now, we ought to have victory.

91
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:14,520
We Christians ought to live victorious lives.

92
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:16,940
And we can, by the grace of God.

93
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:18,860
If we don't do it, it's not the

94
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:20,500
Spirit of God in us, it's the flesh

95
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:21,000
in us.

96
00:03:21,820 --> 00:03:22,560
You're a Christian.

97
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,800
You have the old nature and the new

98
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,180
nature.

99
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,060
Now, what are you going to do with

100
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:27,660
the old nature?

101
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:30,100
Well, some people say you can have it

102
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:30,300
eradicated.

103
00:03:31,060 --> 00:03:32,500
I don't think that's in the Bible.

104
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,160
The flesh is in this chapter here in

105
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,720
Romans, the eighth chapter, which is a chapter

106
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,200
of victory.

107
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,880
Some people say, Well, crucify it.

108
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:40,540
That is a reckoning of death, see.

109
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,000
Now, as far as my spiritual life is

110
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,760
concerned, the flesh is dead, see.

111
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,060
When I became a Christian, I became a

112
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:48,140
new creation.

113
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:50,600
A new creature, we read in the Bible.

114
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,660
It's a new creation.

115
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,500
I became a new creation.

116
00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:57,120
When I became a Christian, I had something

117
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,160
I never had before.

118
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:00,940
I may have had certain traits.

119
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,280
I may have loved my mother.

120
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,760
I may have been kind or unkind.

121
00:04:05,660 --> 00:04:07,820
I may have done something because I was

122
00:04:07,820 --> 00:04:09,400
educated along a certain line.

123
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,120
But there wasn't any good thing about me.

124
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:13,700
There wasn't anything I could do to please

125
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:14,100
God.

126
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:16,839
So one day I came to Jesus Christ,

127
00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:17,980
a poor lost sinner.

128
00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:20,060
Now, I was helpless and undone.

129
00:04:20,779 --> 00:04:22,380
I didn't say, Now, I want you to

130
00:04:22,380 --> 00:04:22,780
save me.

131
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:23,940
I've done so and so.

132
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,180
You know, all the religions of the world

133
00:04:25,180 --> 00:04:26,860
tell you to do something and live, see.

134
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,180
The religion of the Bible says live and

135
00:04:29,180 --> 00:04:29,460
do.

136
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,180
In other words, your righteousness is as filthy

137
00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:32,760
as a rag.

138
00:04:33,460 --> 00:04:35,400
If you could give away everything you had,

139
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:37,840
give your body to be buried, sacrifice all

140
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:39,700
you have, and give your life to a

141
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:41,740
cause, that wouldn't save you.

142
00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:44,300
You're not saved by what you do.

143
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,040
You're saved by what He did for you,

144
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,360
see.

145
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:49,440
Jesus Christ died for you.

146
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,300
He bore your sins as a body on

147
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:51,740
a cross.

148
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:53,340
He paid your debt.

149
00:04:53,980 --> 00:04:55,500
He was wounded for your transgressions.

150
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,880
He was bruised for your iniquities.

151
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,300
The chastisement of your peace was upon Him,

152
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:01,020
and with His stripes you can be healed.

153
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,800
That's the only way you can be healed.

154
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:03,940
That's the only way you can be saved.

155
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,040
All right?

156
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,580
Now, when I accept Christ, I have been

157
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:09,860
parted to be something I never had before.

158
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,440
Something I never had up that time.

159
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:15,420
I received Jesus, and what did He do?

160
00:05:15,620 --> 00:05:16,520
He gave me something.

161
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,060
What was it?

162
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,400
He gave me life, the gift of God's

163
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,280
eternal life.

164
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,540
And when He received Him, then gave me

165
00:05:22,540 --> 00:05:24,640
authority to become children of God, even then

166
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,300
to live on His name, which were born,

167
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,880
not of blood, nor the will of flesh,

168
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,980
nor the will of man, but of God.

169
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:31,980
Now, I still had the old nature.

170
00:05:32,660 --> 00:05:35,200
I had the flesh with its appetites, its

171
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,140
propensities, and its inclinations.

172
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,760
I could lose my temper.

173
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,360
I could sin.

174
00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:40,200
I could do wrong.

175
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,160
And we ought not to do it, though.

176
00:05:43,580 --> 00:05:44,680
We ought not to do it.

177
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:46,420
I've never justified it.

178
00:05:46,460 --> 00:05:47,760
I'm not going to justify it.

179
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,740
I can explain it.

180
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,280
I can explain why sometimes I've stumbled.

181
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:54,340
But it's the one thing to explain.

182
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,360
There's another thing to justify.

183
00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:57,400
There's another thing to defend it.

184
00:05:58,180 --> 00:06:00,440
Whenever you hear people always defending what they

185
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,200
do, or justifying what they do, and try

186
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,680
to get outmundered on human justification of something

187
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,140
wrong, you can't justify wrong, do you?

188
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,560
We read in the Bible that God's grace

189
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,160
is sufficient.

190
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,280
His grace is sufficient for us Christians.

191
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,140
It's sufficient for you and me.

192
00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:17,640
It's sufficient for all the trials of life,

193
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:19,400
and the burdens that we carry along the

194
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:19,660
road.

195
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:23,760
That's no justification for getting weary and doing

196
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,220
good.

197
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:26,880
That's no justification for impatience.

198
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,460
That's no justification for irritability.

199
00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:31,880
It's no trouble to explain why people do

200
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,620
what they shouldn't do, and why Christians do

201
00:06:33,620 --> 00:06:34,320
what they shouldn't do.

202
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,080
You can explain it all right.

203
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,940
But it's one thing to explain it.

204
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:39,260
It's another thing to justify it.

205
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,420
Now, you in the flesh cannot please God.

206
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:44,140
You still listen to me.

207
00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:45,720
You can't please God.

208
00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:46,680
It's impossible.

209
00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:49,580
You just do all you can, you can't

210
00:06:49,580 --> 00:06:50,020
please Him.

211
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:51,400
You can't appease God.

212
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,680
God has judged you in the flesh, and

213
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,940
man in the flesh is a lost man.

214
00:06:56,220 --> 00:06:57,700
In Adam, the race died.

215
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,020
And all men in the flesh are judged.

216
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,040
Now, you are not right till God makes

217
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,320
you right by His grace.

218
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,300
And then when He makes you right, He

219
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:11,640
brings into you something you never had before.

220
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:14,400
It's not just making you over when you

221
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,100
become a Christian.

222
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,120
You have something imparted to you that God

223
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,420
gives you, which is eternal life and salvation

224
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:21,120
and forgiveness.

225
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,040
We have that if we are saved.

226
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,840
All right, now that's in us.

227
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,820
But according to the Bible, that treasure is

228
00:07:26,820 --> 00:07:27,600
an unearthed vessel.

229
00:07:28,340 --> 00:07:29,640
You have to guard that treasure.

230
00:07:30,380 --> 00:07:32,260
Now, if you and I are led by

231
00:07:32,260 --> 00:07:34,220
the Spirit, which we may not always be,

232
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,020
we can have victory.

233
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,140
You don't have to be a defeated Christian.

234
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,380
Let's don't ever justify it.

235
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,420
Let's don't ever condone it.

236
00:07:40,820 --> 00:07:42,040
I don't have to be defeated.

237
00:07:42,580 --> 00:07:44,260
I can have victory through the Lord Jesus

238
00:07:44,260 --> 00:07:44,720
Christ.

239
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,040
We can have.

240
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,780
If we walk after His Spirit, not after

241
00:07:48,780 --> 00:07:49,960
flesh, see.

242
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,840
Sometimes we are tired and sometimes we are

243
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,480
worn out.

244
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,740
Sometimes we are on a strain.

245
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Sometimes we don't feel very well.

246
00:07:57,100 --> 00:07:58,920
And we are human and all that, but

247
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,180
we ought to have victory.

248
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:02,400
Now, let's make up our minds to one

249
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:02,760
thing.

250
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:04,500
As Christian people, what do you say?

251
00:08:05,060 --> 00:08:06,660
We are not going to justify what we

252
00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:06,840
do.

253
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:08,380
We are not going to condone it.

254
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:09,940
Just admit to it.

255
00:08:09,980 --> 00:08:12,260
We confess our sins, that's addressed to Christians.

256
00:08:12,260 --> 00:08:14,340
He is faithful just to give us our

257
00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:16,280
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

258
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,980
If you were born again, that epistle of

259
00:08:18,980 --> 00:08:21,380
John written to Christian people, if we who

260
00:08:21,380 --> 00:08:24,180
are Christian, we born again, if we sin,

261
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,160
we don't have to.

262
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:26,900
No excuse for it.

263
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,180
We shouldn't justify it.

264
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:29,900
We read in the epistle of John, these

265
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,400
things right and I choose sin not.

266
00:08:31,559 --> 00:08:32,140
Don't sin.

267
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,220
Don't sin.

268
00:08:33,860 --> 00:08:34,600
Wait a minute.

269
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:35,780
Don't do it.

270
00:08:35,820 --> 00:08:37,520
But if you do it, don't justify it.

271
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,640
Don't sin.

272
00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:41,700
But if you do sin, then what do

273
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:41,960
you do?

274
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:43,360
You confess your sins.

275
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,620
You say, now I'm a child of God.

276
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,560
I did this.

277
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,320
I shouldn't have done it.

278
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:47,920
I'm sorry.

279
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:48,580
Forgive me.

280
00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:50,640
And trust Him for victory, not to do

281
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:50,920
it again.

282
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,420
And the Bible makes one thing plain.

283
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,600
He that is born of God does not

284
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,220
commit sin.

285
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,300
He doesn't practice it.

286
00:08:58,060 --> 00:09:00,080
You know, you may stumble over a stone

287
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,340
on the Christian road.

288
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:02,740
But you know something?

289
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,080
You won't just keep going back there stumbling

290
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,420
over and over and over and over.

291
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,860
You won't do that.

292
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:09,640
Now if you are a real Christian, he

293
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,120
that is born of God does not keep

294
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,320
stumbling over stone.

295
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,980
Now I suppose that some of us who

296
00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:17,020
have so many heavy burdens and live so

297
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:19,840
strangely in this world, sometimes we sort of

298
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,900
get sorry for ourselves and think, well, you

299
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:24,420
know, I just got all I can do

300
00:09:24,420 --> 00:09:25,420
with all I can carry.

301
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,440
All that, but you can have victory.

302
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,920
Lord Jesus Christ will give it to you.

303
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,080
The Apostle Paul never had it easy.

304
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:33,360
He was misunderstood.

305
00:09:33,860 --> 00:09:35,060
Christians are going to be misunderstood.

306
00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:37,100
The Bible makes it plain.

307
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,320
The world can't understand the Christian.

308
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,580
A Christian knows about the world, but the

309
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:42,720
world doesn't know about Christians.

310
00:09:43,540 --> 00:09:44,920
Our citizenship's in heaven.

311
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,000
We're pilgrims and strangers in a strange land,

312
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:48,900
passing through.

313
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,220
I have a body, hands, feet, eyes, ears,

314
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,560
tongue, mind, a human being with all the

315
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:57,860
frailties that men have.

316
00:09:58,340 --> 00:10:00,160
But if I'm a Christian, I have something

317
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,420
that the sinner doesn't have.

318
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,720
I have something imparted to me, something that

319
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,500
God gave me when I trust Him as

320
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:10,020
my Savior and I pass out of death

321
00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:10,600
into life.

322
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,100
We should live by the grace of God

323
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:14,340
a victorious life.

324
00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:16,460
We don't have to be defeated.

325
00:10:17,140 --> 00:10:19,180
We don't have to keep blundering and stumbling

326
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:19,700
and falling.

327
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,460
And if we do it, then let's not

328
00:10:22,460 --> 00:10:24,600
justify it, let's not condone it, let's not

329
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,340
explain it.

330
00:10:25,780 --> 00:10:27,680
Let's just say, Oh God, forgive me.

331
00:10:28,220 --> 00:10:30,700
And let's stand on our feet, our Christian

332
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:33,880
feet, in the new nature that Christ gives

333
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,100
us.

334
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:36,560
We are indwelt by the Holy Spirit if

335
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:37,240
we are Christians.

336
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,260
Holy Spirit.

337
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,240
The Holy Spirit is God.

338
00:10:40,980 --> 00:10:41,920
The Holy Spirit.

339
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:44,960
The third person, God the Father, God the

340
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,220
Son, God the Holy Ghost.

341
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,260
That's the Trinity.

342
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:50,420
Now the Holy Spirit dwells in our bodies.

343
00:10:51,220 --> 00:10:52,620
Christ is up in heaven with the right

344
00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:53,920
hand in the seating post.

345
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,660
God the Father forgives sin.

346
00:10:57,180 --> 00:10:58,840
And we say, Our Father who art in

347
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,640
heaven, hallowed be thy name.

348
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,040
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on

349
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:03,900
earth as it is in heaven.

350
00:11:04,420 --> 00:11:05,900
Give us this day our daily bread.

351
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,420
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those

352
00:11:08,420 --> 00:11:09,480
who trespass against us.

353
00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:12,120
Alright, now he's up there, our Father.

354
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:14,960
Jesus Christ, who was manifested in flesh and

355
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,220
died on the cross, is up there with

356
00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:17,000
the right hand of the Father.

357
00:11:17,340 --> 00:11:18,460
He intercedes for us.

358
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,280
He's our lawyer representing us to the Father.

359
00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:23,580
To the court of the sky, he pleads

360
00:11:23,580 --> 00:11:24,100
for us.

361
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:27,000
May your prince in his hands, a print

362
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,140
on his feet, a scar on his side,

363
00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:31,320
a print of the thorns on his brow,

364
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,640
died to save sinners.

365
00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:35,320
Yes, yes, I trust him.

366
00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:37,020
Alright, then what?

367
00:11:37,340 --> 00:11:39,620
I have in my body the Holy Spirit.

368
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,820
The Spirit that brought Jesus Christ from the

369
00:11:42,820 --> 00:11:43,080
dead.

370
00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:45,060
You know, they thought it was a wonderful

371
00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:46,760
thing, in the Old Testament, that God, who

372
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,640
had eternal habit, dwelt in the temple.

373
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,960
He did in the Old Testament.

374
00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:52,120
But God doesn't dwell in buildings.

375
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,200
May you have hands now.

376
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:55,920
The dwelling place of God, the Holy Spirit

377
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,500
is in the bodies of men on this

378
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:57,740
earth.

379
00:11:58,340 --> 00:11:59,680
You and I can have victory.

380
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,840
I wonder if we're living that way.

381
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,540
Let's ask God to give us victory and

382
00:12:03,540 --> 00:12:05,320
give us grace to stand, to be true,

383
00:12:05,420 --> 00:12:06,680
to be faithful in all things.

384
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,500
Remember now, they cannot please God who are

385
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:11,160
in the flesh.

386
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,580
But those in the Spirit can please God.

387
00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:15,660
We'll do the things that please God.

388
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:17,700
We'll live the kind of life that we

389
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:19,200
should live to please God.

390
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:21,440
You can please Him if you're a Christian.

391
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,620
I can please Him if I'm a Christian.

392
00:12:24,060 --> 00:12:25,820
If we don't do it, we've done wrong.

393
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:28,140
We shall live so, day by day.

394
00:12:28,140 --> 00:12:30,900
We'll please God the Father, God the Son,

395
00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:32,380
and God the Holy Ghost.

396
00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:35,180
Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for Jesus

397
00:12:35,180 --> 00:12:36,780
Christ who died to save us, who is

398
00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:39,040
atoning blood, and our salvation in His name.

399
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:40,800
Help us to be faithful to Him and

400
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,900
true to Him in all things.

401
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:43,980
We pray that You would give us strength

402
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:45,680
to meet the foe and to come out

403
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:46,860
victoriously.

404
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,820
Help us to trust Jesus Christ, not to

405
00:12:48,820 --> 00:12:50,300
walk after the flesh, but to walk after

406
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:52,580
the Spirit, to live victorious lives.

407
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:54,660
We pray for the strength that we need

408
00:12:54,660 --> 00:12:55,840
and the grace that we need and the

409
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,760
power that we need and we'll be all

410
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,740
if God would have us be.

411
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:00,840
We'll commit our lives to Thee.

412
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Forgive anything in our lives that's wrong, blot

413
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,140
out any of our sins, and remember them

414
00:13:05,140 --> 00:13:06,320
against us no more forever.

415
00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:08,740
We thank Thee like the Father pitied His

416
00:13:08,740 --> 00:13:10,280
children, the Lord pitied them in fury.

417
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,360
And if we know our hearts, we fear

418
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,680
Thee, and we want to love Thee and

419
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:14,360
serve Thee.

420
00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:15,680
Make us what we ought to be and

421
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,840
keep us by Thy power in all the

422
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,140
things that have us do, for Jesus' sake.

423
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:20,880
Amen.

424
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:24,180
You've been listening to the Word of Truth

425
00:13:24,180 --> 00:13:27,360
with Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. A man who

426
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,560

427
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:33,520
70 years of influencing thousands with his compassion

428
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,660
for souls and the Word of God.

429
00:13:36,340 --> 00:13:39,320

430
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,940
pencil and jot this one down.
