1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,300
The modern gospel of our day should be

2
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:08,880
called the great omission because it's void of

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,940
all its teeth and power as its great

4
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:15,840
doctrines fall silent in our churches today.

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:18,200
But if you want to be safe friend

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,980
there are five truths you must hear as

7
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:23,800
you get under the sound of the gospel

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,740
of the son of God and I'm going

9
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:29,720
to list these five truths for you now.

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,580
Truth number one, you are ruined by sin

11
00:00:34,580 --> 00:00:36,460
and you are under a curse.

12
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:40,780
Every mother's son enters this world with the

13
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:43,840
poison in his blood from Adam's fall.

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,140
We are born in a ruined condition with

15
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:49,460
a bent toward sin.

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,580
In Job 15 16 we see man's utter

17
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:54,520
depravity.

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,640
How much more abominable and filthy is man

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,420
which drank at the iniquity like water and

20
00:01:02,420 --> 00:01:07,040
God told Adam in Genesis, curse it is

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,220
the ground for thy sake in sorrow shall

22
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:13,600
thou eat of it all the days of

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,360
thy life.

24
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:18,500
You must know about your ruined condition friend

25
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,680
and your natural estate and if you remain

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,940
unchanged in your natural condition you will surely

27
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:27,340
go to hell.

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,400
Truth number two, you cannot save yourself.

29
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:36,000
Salvation is in the hands of God and

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,200
not man.

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,660
We read in Ephesians 2 8 and 9

32
00:01:41,660 --> 00:01:45,460
for by grace ye are saved through faith

33
00:01:45,460 --> 00:01:47,780
and that not of yourselves.

34
00:01:48,340 --> 00:01:50,820
It is the gift of God not of

35
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:53,880
works lest any man should boast.

36
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:57,600
If you are saved friend it's because God

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,840
gave you saving faith.

38
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:04,260
In John's gospel in chapter 6 and verse

39
00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:10,640
65 Jesus exclaims therefore said I unto you

40
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:14,940
that no man can come unto me except

41
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:18,320
it were given unto him of my father.

42
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,300
Remember friend you cannot save yourself.

43
00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:25,380
God is sovereign in salvation.

44
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:31,440
Truth number three, every person will be held

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,720
up against the strictness and severity of the

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,900
unbending law of God.

47
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:41,140
The sentencing of the law must be carried

48
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:44,500
out upon all guilty lawbreakers.

49
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Sin is the transgression of the law and

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,120
God requires perfection to get into his holy

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,180
heaven for he declares that except your righteousness

52
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:02,260
shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and

53
00:03:02,260 --> 00:03:06,960
pharisees ye shall in no case enter into

54
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,500
the kingdom of heaven.

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,860
At a future judgment for all mankind every

56
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:16,280
person will be held up against the strict

57
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,860
law of God and all will fail that

58
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:22,980
test because all have sinned and come short

59
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:24,420
of the glory of God.

60
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:29,480
There at that judgment friend your sin will

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,120
find you out and your mouth will be

62
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,800
stopped for he will by no means clear

63
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,520
the guilty.

64
00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:41,420
This leads us to truth number four you

65
00:03:41,420 --> 00:03:42,540
must repent.

66
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,020
In Acts 17 30 we read God commandeth

67
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:51,280
all men everywhere to repent.

68
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,740
Jesus's first sermon was on repentance and his

69
00:03:56,740 --> 00:04:00,900
disciples preached the doctrine of repentance and Jesus

70
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:05,440
warned in Luke 13 5 except you repent

71
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,220
ye shall all likewise perish.

72
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:13,480
Listen friend your rebellion must be crushed and

73
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,500
you must throw down your shotgun of rebellion

74
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,740
at his nail-pierced feet and get your

75
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:22,120
sins washed in his blood.

76
00:04:22,780 --> 00:04:27,220
Lastly truth number five you must be born

77
00:04:27,220 --> 00:04:27,760
again.

78
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,280
You must experience the supernatural act of regeneration

79
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:38,080
upon your heart whereby God works grace upon

80
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,740
the heart of stone and makes it a

81
00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:44,440
heart of flesh receptive to the things of

82
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,020
God.

83
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,140
When Jesus was here in his earthly ministry

84
00:04:49,140 --> 00:04:53,320
as he passed through towns and villages all

85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,860
who encountered him experienced change.

86
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,400
Regeneration is a changed life all for the

87
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,580
glory of God.

88
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,880
Jesus told Nicodemus that which is born of

89
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,760
the flesh is flesh and that which is

90
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,860
born of the spirit is spirit.

91
00:05:13,420 --> 00:05:16,840
Marvel not that I said unto thee ye

92
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,100
must be born again.

93
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:23,860
Listen friend salvation means you are born from

94
00:05:23,860 --> 00:05:24,480
above.

95
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,980
It is my prayer that if God's spirit

96
00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:31,220
has brought conviction to your heart you will

97
00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:34,500
exercise repentance toward God and faith in his

98
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:37,100
son the Lord Jesus Christ.

99
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,940
Come to Christ friend in repentance and faith

100
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:44,660
confessing you are a sinner and own him

101
00:05:44,660 --> 00:05:46,740
as your savior and lord.

102
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:49,400
You must be washed in the blood and

103
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,920
born from above.

104
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,400
Let us pray.
