God on Christ's death at the cross and 00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:18.720 his resurrection from the dead we need 00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:23.159 to understand what's the meaning of that 00:01:36.960 -->

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:42.479 that because people followed him after 00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:45.199 he multiplied the bread and the fish and 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.120 people ate and they were happy

We are going to talk about this 00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:10.560 when Jesus turned everybody went and 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.120 abandoned him 00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:27.120 do you also want to go away no Lord 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.599 where should we go you have the words of 00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:32.719 eternal life we believe that you are the 00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:38.360 Christ the son of the living God yes 00:08:38.479 --> 00:08:40.399 but that's the most important thing that 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.279 Jesus was telling them he said to the 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.839 disciples "You why can't you go?" Peter 00:08:45.839 --> 00:08:48.480 said "What where can we go where are we 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.399 going you have the words of eternal life 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.959 you have the words of eternal life 00:08:53.959 --> 00:08:56.720 look when we are focused too much on 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.200 material 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.080 things money all these things we have 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.399 the tendency to neglect eternity 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.680 that's why today people are so rushing 00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:13.040 to get wealth to accumulate money in 00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:15.160 complete neglect of 00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:18.000 eternity and Peter said to him you have 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.080 the words of eternal life this holy 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.839 bible these words you 00:09:24.839 --> 00:09:28.399 see they are spirit and life and they 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.160 are 00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:32.640 life when we neglect this word we 00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:34.959 neglect eternal life 00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:36.839 the words Jesus 00:09:36.839 --> 00:09:40.480 spoke if it sink deep into your heart 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.480 and the Holy Spirit open your heart to 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.839 understand his words you will have joy 00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:48.880 your joy will go to heaven you will have 00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:50.160 peace 00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:54.519 if I have eternal life and Jesus said 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.560 words more provoking to the human reason 00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:01.200 than that let's go to John chapter 11 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.640 let's listen from verse 23 00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:06.880 jesus said to her "Your brother will 00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:09.519 rise again." Martha said to him "I know 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.959 that he will rise again in the 00:10:10.959 --> 00:10:14.079 resurrection at the last day." Mhm jesus 00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:17.040 said to her "I am the resurrection and 00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:19.200 the life." Stop 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.720 what happened here lazarus died am I 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.040 right lazarus died and Lazarus was 00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:31.360 buried was in the tomb for 4 days mhm so 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.360 Jesus 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:36.200 came to the graveside of 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.519 Lazarus and spoke to the sister Martha 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.440 can you start from verse 22 let's listen 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.079 to what Martha say verse even 21 now 00:10:44.079 --> 00:10:46.399 Martha said to Jesus "Lord if you had 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.920 been here my brother you had been here 00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:52.720 my brother wouldn't have died." We we 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.360 are all Christian let's be honest if we 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.120 lose a Christian die we lose somebody we 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.399 begin to mourn we begin to cry as if it 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.240 is 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.040 finished we have many God's general 00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:09.800 Abraham Isaac Jacob all the prophets of 00:11:09.800 --> 00:11:13.200 old they are not longer here physically 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.519 m but does it mean they are 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.519 lost no they've gone home we say gone 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.640 home now don't forget what Jesus say in 00:11:23.640 --> 00:11:25.959 Luke 00:11:25.959 --> 00:11:29.839 20:38 god is not the God of the dead but 00:11:29.839 --> 00:11:33.519 the God of the living 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.920 jesus Christ is not the Lord of the dead 00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:38.800 but the Lord of the living what kind of 00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:41.839 life we talking about those who have 00:11:41.839 --> 00:11:44.720 eternal life does that mean our spirit 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.079 is alive your spirit and your soul we 00:11:48.079 --> 00:11:51.600 have what we call God said to Adam Adam 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.959 in the book of Genesis chapter 3 23 when 00:11:54.959 --> 00:11:57.360 you eat the fruit of this tree in 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.600 disobedience to my command you will die 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.680 so God was not referring to physical 00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:07.279 death as we all know but the devil tell 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.120 him that this is physical death you will 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.200 not die eat it you will not die god was 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.079 referring to spiritual death what is the 00:12:14.079 --> 00:12:17.399 word death death is 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:21.120 separation when the body and the soul 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:22.920 separate that is 00:12:22.920 --> 00:12:25.519 death but there is a death spiritual 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.240 death when our spirit is separated from 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.320 God mean no more 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.519 communication as a dead person can no 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.959 longer communicate with with the living 00:12:36.959 --> 00:12:40.639 but that does not mean he's gone forever 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.160 but God say that person is alive that's 00:12:44.160 --> 00:12:47.200 why Jesus said to them when God appeared 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.600 to Moses in the burning bush he said I 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.079 am the God of Abraham the God of Isaac 00:12:52.079 --> 00:12:53.160 the God of 00:12:53.160 --> 00:12:55.920 Jacob god is not the God of the dead but 00:12:55.920 --> 00:12:57.920 the God of the living jesus spoke about 00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:00.079 Abraham Isaac and Jacob as people that 00:13:00.079 --> 00:13:03.600 living not dead people 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.120 and the Bible is clear once you believe 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.880 in Jesus in spirit and in truth once you 00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:15.600 are born again eternal life has started 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.000 eternal life is a spiritual side of your 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.680 life this body we have is not eternal 00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:24.720 this body has what beginning and end 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.760 what is the beginning natural birth on 00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:29.320 the earth 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.639 h when you are born from your mom you 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.200 have a name they register you and the 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.279 day a person died they say he's dead we 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:38.560 remove from the register the claim 00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:42.000 disease is over that's for the body but 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.760 what about our spirit when does eternal 00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:48.720 life start in the spirit when it starts 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.560 when you truly believe in Jesus Christ 00:13:50.560 --> 00:13:52.399 and you accept him as your Lord and 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.760 Savior believing his resurrection from 00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:58.240 the dead so that means the resurrection 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.040 of Jesus is so crucial it's absolutely 00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:02.560 fundamental this a fundament of our 00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:06.720 faith do you know that in the Bible many 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.040 people early believed in Jesus right and 00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:10.800 came to the church and was worshiping 00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:12.959 and they never believed the resurrection 00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:14.480 what happened they never received the 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:16.240 Holy Spirit so that means they just 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.240 thought he was a good teacher and a good 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.279 prophet yes but he didn't believe they 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.959 didn't believe what he said about 00:14:22.959 --> 00:14:24.720 himself 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.519 if you don't believe in Christ's 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.560 resurrection how will you receive 00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:30.880 eternal life and holy spirit you have 00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:32.560 that's the foundation of the Christian 00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:34.880 faith can we just go back to quickly 00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:38.000 Romans 10:9 to 10 we are going back to 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.399 the foundation that if you confess with 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.800 your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in 00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:44.720 your heart that God had raised him from 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.440 the dead you will be saved you hear that 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.680 if you believe if you will confess with 00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:51.839 your mouth everybody know how to do it m 00:14:51.839 --> 00:14:53.279 we all know how to confess with our 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.000 mouth in alter call Jesus Lord but the 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.600 second part is the most difficult what 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.560 did he say and believe in your heart 00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:02.240 believe in your heart believe in your 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:04.720 spirit god has raised him that God has 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:07.600 raised Jesus Christ from the dead you 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.680 will be saved you will be saved so that 00:15:09.680 --> 00:15:12.880 saved means eternal life for your spirit 00:15:12.880 --> 00:15:16.000 good continue verse 10 next verse listen 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.839 for with the heart one believes unto 00:15:17.839 --> 00:15:19.600 righteousness with your heart with your 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:21.839 spirit you believe unto righteousness 00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:24.079 which is eternal life and with the mouth 00:15:24.079 --> 00:15:26.320 confession is made unto salvation you 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.560 confess with the mouth unto salvation oh 00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:31.279 my God you can see this mean the word of 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.360 faith that save you is in your heart you 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.040 have to believe Christ resurrection from 00:15:35.040 --> 00:15:36.040 the 00:15:36.040 --> 00:15:40.000 dead if you hear Jesus crucified that's 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.079 why we talk about Easter there are two 00:15:42.079 --> 00:15:45.440 two sides of it he went to the cross he 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.760 was crucified and he gave up the spirit 00:15:47.760 --> 00:15:49.120 to the father at the cross for our 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.920 redemption right but Jesus was in the 00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:54.000 heart of the earth three days three 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.680 night on the third day he rose from the 00:15:57.680 --> 00:16:00.959 dead oh my God let's go back to John i 00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:03.120 will just tell you the importance of 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.120 believing Christ resurrection this the 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.600 foundation of Christian faith jesus has 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.120 demonstrated that he's worthy of being 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.959 the objective of our faith unto 00:16:12.959 --> 00:16:15.680 salvation by believing his resurrection 00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:16.600 from the 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.920 dead if truly you are a Christian you 00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:21.839 have no doubt that Christ has risen from 00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:25.120 the dead he's alive as I'm talking to 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.480 you he knows you he sees you and he is 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.040 the living Christ Jesus in the power of 00:16:31.040 --> 00:16:33.279 resurrection of the Holy Spirit he's 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.320 alive that's why I say because I live 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.560 you live 00:16:43.199 --> 00:16:47.240 jesus is alive my is 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.480 alive that is very important that he is 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.880 alive so you are talking to somebody who 00:16:52.880 --> 00:16:54.959 is alive somebody who will answer you 00:16:54.959 --> 00:16:56.800 somebody who sees you somebody who knows 00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:58.959 you he knows your thought and everything 00:16:58.959 --> 00:17:01.440 about you and the living God we are 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.120 serving is the reason you can face 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.120 whatever challenge you face that's the 00:17:05.120 --> 00:17:07.360 reason you can face tomorrow whatever 00:17:07.360 --> 00:17:09.760 challenge whatever difficulty may come 00:17:09.760 --> 00:17:13.199 in the future because Jesus lives you 00:17:13.199 --> 00:17:15.919 can face it because he's already 00:17:15.919 --> 00:17:19.360 defeated death for you and me hallelujah 00:17:19.360 --> 00:17:21.319 so that means anything else compared to 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.160 Jesus is not a big deal that's why you 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.959 have to believe Jesus for eternal life 00:17:26.959 --> 00:17:29.200 reset your belief if you have been 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:30.880 believing Jesus only for healing and for 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.720 blessing it's time to reset your belief 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:34.559 right now 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.440 it's true the part of you that is sick 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.240 that is lacking resistant distant this 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.000 body 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.679 what about your spirit and your soul 00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:45.679 before God 00:17:45.679 --> 00:17:49.039 continue reading jesus said to her "I am 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.120 the resurrection and the life he who 00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:53.760 believes in me though he may die he 00:17:53.760 --> 00:17:55.919 shall live." Oh my God let's stop there 00:17:55.919 --> 00:17:58.320 what does this mean to you he who 00:17:58.320 --> 00:18:01.520 believes in me Jesus Christ though he 00:18:01.520 --> 00:18:04.080 may die he may die yet he shall live yet 00:18:04.080 --> 00:18:06.440 he shall live how can this be it's a 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.960 contradiction here in the earth when you 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.960 die they say he's gone that's why we say 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.080 "What a terrible mistake we do." Today 00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:16.160 we say we believe in Jesus but when we 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.160 lose somebody we begin to cry as if the 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.120 end has come that person is not lost 00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:23.120 that person is waiting for you over 00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:27.360 there all the saints that lived before 00:18:27.360 --> 00:18:30.720 us in Christ Jesus are not lost they are 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.840 very much alive in the heavenly realms 00:18:33.840 --> 00:18:35.600 that's what Jesus is taking talking to 00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:38.960 you and me he who believes in me even 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:40.880 though he may die he shall live he shall 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.080 live that's what Jesus said so why are 00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:43.919 you afraid of death i think because we 00:18:43.919 --> 00:18:47.120 we focus so much of our lives of our 00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:49.440 everyday decisions in our life just on 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:51.919 the natural that is why we're afraid of 00:18:51.919 --> 00:18:54.640 death because we don't want the natural 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:58.120 life to come to an end that's why when a 00:18:58.120 --> 00:19:00.679 saint depart I don't say die I say 00:19:00.679 --> 00:19:03.679 depart i will tell you why we should 00:19:03.679 --> 00:19:07.520 rejoice and celebrate his life not cry 00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:11.160 we should celebrate and life not 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.080 death if you know the importance of 00:19:14.080 --> 00:19:16.720 eternal life if you know the value of 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.600 Jesus Christ of Nazareth in your life oh 00:19:19.600 --> 00:19:21.960 my God you will 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.120 rejoice even though you lack you don't 00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:27.200 mind because you have Jesus you have the 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.600 fountain of life and that is a decision 00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:31.600 that you do have to actually make here 00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:33.919 whilst on this earth and I think that's 00:19:33.919 --> 00:19:35.840 why it's so important for us to remind 00:19:35.840 --> 00:19:37.600 ourselves to do things because of 00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:40.400 eternal life because I remember you said 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.799 one time that here Jesus is our savior 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.320 to save us mhm on this earth mhm if we 00:19:48.320 --> 00:19:50.000 believe in Jesus the promise is there 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.160 for us to have eternal life even now the 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.160 promise is there for our spirit our soul 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.200 to to have life in Christ but over there 00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.520 we meet him as judge absolutely meaning 00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:01.679 that here is opportunity for you to have 00:20:01.679 --> 00:20:05.120 faith to believe that's why we need to 00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:08.480 make the most of this time what are you 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:12.880 doing with Jesus in your life 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:14.880 you can ask a lot of questions but over 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:16.799 there no question answer will wait for 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.640 you the Bible says if somebody leave 00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:22.160 this earth without the knowledge of 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:24.799 Christ that person will have more 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:26.480 questions to answer over there than when 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.039 he was alive 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.760 the question what seems easy we don't 00:20:31.760 --> 00:20:34.000 value it what is the value of Jesus 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.200 what's the value of Easter what's the 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.200 value of resurrection sometime we are on 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.039 the surface 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:42.159 when Jesus came the first thing God the 00:20:42.159 --> 00:20:44.799 reason why Jesus sent God sent Jesus is 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.640 eternal 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.640 life when create when God created Adam 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:50.840 and Eve there was no 00:20:50.840 --> 00:20:53.360 death you can see the first people that 00:20:53.360 --> 00:20:56.640 lived on earth they were living 200 300 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.840 400 500 900 years 00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:02.039 but the corruption of sin came 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.480 progressively and death spread to all 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:07.360 human beings that's what the Bible say 00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:09.840 the soul who sins in the soul who dies 00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:12.880 ezekiel chapter 28 from verse 24 down 4 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.280 and 24 00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:17.440 jesus has come to deliver you and I from 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.360 death and spiritual death which comes 00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:25.840 from sin because the soul that is in sin 00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:29.840 is sick is is is is dying and that is 00:21:29.840 --> 00:21:32.960 what Jesus came to deliver us from from 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:36.240 spiritual death which comes through sin 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:37.840 the reason why we show you those two 00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:40.480 drama is to reset your focus to believe 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.360 Jesus for eternal life 00:21:43.360 --> 00:21:48.080 why did the apostles of old follow Jesus 00:21:48.080 --> 00:21:50.280 suffered persecution even to 00:21:50.280 --> 00:21:53.000 death who will believe to death 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.520 something 00:21:54.520 --> 00:21:56.840 earthly why they were not afraid of 00:21:56.840 --> 00:21:59.520 death why many of them were marted and 00:21:59.520 --> 00:22:01.520 persecuted but they believe stood 00:22:01.520 --> 00:22:03.360 because they they knew what eternal life 00:22:03.360 --> 00:22:06.000 means 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.480 remember the words of Apostle Paul in 00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:12.080 Philippians chapter 1 verse 1-21 for to 00:22:12.080 --> 00:22:16.320 me to live is Christ and to die is gain 00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:19.039 but if I live on in the flesh this will 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.120 mean fruit from my labor yet what I 00:22:21.120 --> 00:22:24.799 shall choose I cannot tell mhm for I am 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.880 hardpressed between the two having a 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:29.280 desire to depart and be with Christ 00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:32.679 which is far better you hear i desire to 00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:35.440 depart a Christian does not die he 00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:39.360 departs that's why when a saint or a 00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:41.440 believer leave this earth I don't use 00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:44.000 the word dead I say depart 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.799 he departs of this earth to

that part is 00:23:07.919 --> 00:23:10.480 new born again that's what Jesus 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.640 explained to Nicodemus 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:14.559 yes and when you have not born again 00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.559 holy spirit will dwell in the new spirit 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.400 that is pure holy spirit cannot dwell in 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.360 an unholy place that means you can't 00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:23.440 have the holy spirit in you if your if 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.559 your spirit your soul is not revived 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:28.880 born again new now I want to show you 00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:30.640 something let's talk about something we 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:32.760 talk about Lazarus okay we talk about 00:23:32.760 --> 00:23:35.200 resurrection do

only here after we die it's over 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.720 but the Bible never says that the Bible 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:49.440 says that the day there is a separation 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.480 between the body and the soul 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.039 that which is dust we'll go back to the 00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:58.400 dust genesis 3 19 let's listen to what 00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.440 God say because of sin because of 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.360 disobedience spiritual death came to old 00:24:03.360 --> 00:24:05.760 man and that's what the Christ has come 00:24:05.760

dust 00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:24.480 this body came for a man and woman it 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:26.480 will go back to the dust yours everybody 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.120 everyone the only thing that is sure on 00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:32.480 earth is this physical death m everybody 00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.760 will go through it 00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:37.520 everybody so why are we such afraid for 00:24:37.520 --> 00:24:41.039 something you cannot dodge is human life 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.760 like a light of candle that will go off 00:24:44.760 --> 00:24:48.559 forever and stop there no there is more 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.760 to life that meets the ordinary eyes 00:24:51.760 --> 00:24:54.120 there's more to human being than this 00:24:54.120 --> 00:24:56.480 body that's what Christ has come to 00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.440 reveal whom you are in Christ once we 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.880 understand the divine meaning of Easter 00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:05.440 once we understand the purpose of Christ 00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:08.480 then we begin to realize who we are we 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.200 begin to realize who God is and we begin 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.760 to have relationship with God in spirit 00:25:13.760 --> 00:25:16.640 and in truth you begin to have visions 00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.960 of voices happening tomorrow you begin 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:21.039 to have relationship with the Holy 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.120 Spirit in your heart your conscious 00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:25.039 become alive god is no longer a 00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.159 foreigner not something 00:25:27.159 --> 00:25:29.679 strange until they say "Oh this is 00:25:29.679 --> 00:25:32.080 esoteric this is mystic this is not 00:25:32.080 --> 00:25:35.159 strange it is reality for the spiritual 00:25:35.159 --> 00:25:38.000 person." Now let's let's let's continue 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.480 back to John that's the Easter we are 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:42.720 talking about martha said to Jesus "Ah 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:44.960 if you were here verse 21 my brother 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:46.559 would not have died." Because her 00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:49.760 purpose she does not want Lazarus to die 00:25:49.760 --> 00:25:51.760 we human beings we live as if we are 00:25:51.760 --> 00:25:54.159 eternal nobody thinks about death we 00:25:54.159 --> 00:25:56.400 reject the thought of death we we we try 00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.480 to ignore it and imagine that it's just 00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:59.840 not going to happen we even don't want 00:25:59.840 --> 00:26:01.840 to think about it even the biggest sins 00:26:01.840 --> 00:26:04.320 a man of faith when death come say "Hey 00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:08.480 no not yet." We live as if eternal here 00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.679 on earth this body is not eternal the 00:26:11.679 --> 00:26:13.840 part of you that is eternal is your 00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:16.000 spirit

man's condition without 00:26:45.760 --> 00:26:47.679 God 00:26:47.679 --> 00:26:50.000 if you don't have Jesus for God you are 00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.480 homeless 00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:54.320 in the streets some people are homeless 00:26:54.320 --> 00:26:56.640 but there the terrible homeless when 00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.720 your spirit is naked when your soul is 00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.480 naked airing in the darkness without a 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.440 home that's the one Jesus come to solve 00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:07.360 jesus said to her I am the resurrection 00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:09.279 and the life he who believes in me 00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:11.760 though he may die he shall live and 00:27:11.760 --> 00:27:13.760 whoever lives and believes in me shall

said you 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.880 it looks like contradiction the first 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.880 one is say he who believes in me even 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.360 though he die will live and he say he 00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:31.360 who believes in me will never die what 00:27:31.360 --> 00:27:32.799 is Jesus talking about he talk about 00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:36.240 your spiritual man it is our spirit our 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.960 soul our heart that believes in Christ 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:41.200 that soul that spirit will never die 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.400 mean you have eternal life m 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:46.440 now from here eternal life 00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:49.240 starts now right on this earth God is 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.600 here as I'm talking to you Holy Spirit 00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:53.840 is here as I'm talking to you God is 00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:56.640 here heaven is here in your heart oh my 00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:58.480 god 00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:01.120 why we allow Satan to blindfold us to 00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:03.279 focus on the natural to focus on what 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.159 you see and you completely lose sight of 00:28:06.159 --> 00:28:09.440 eternity of God with you our mind become 00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:11.679 kindly minded we think about earthly 00:28:11.679 --> 00:28:13.520 things and We value earthly things more 00:28:13.520 --> 00:28:16.480 than eternal life 00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:19.120 and that's the truth if you understand 00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:21.279 the meaning of eternal life if you 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.279 understand life after life you will 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.440 never cry you will rejoice that's what 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.760 Jesus said a little while you will see 00:28:27.760 --> 00:28:30.159 me no more a little while you will see 00:28:30.159 --> 00:28:32.720 me and your joy will be great and nobody 00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:34.799 can remove your joy 00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:36.559 once you understand this you will 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:39.760 understand as Peter John Bethlehem the 00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:41.919 twel apostle in the midst of life threat 00:28:41.919 --> 00:28:43.679 was singing with joy because they know 00:28:43.679 --> 00:28:46.159 that this body nobody can remove it you 00:28:46.159 --> 00:28:47.840 can remove this body but not their soul 00:28:47.840 --> 00:28:50.880 let's go to Matthew 10:28 listen to what 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:52.880 Jesus told them and their so much 00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.120 believe and know the truth and do not 00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:57.760 fear those who kill the body but cannot 00:28:57.760 --> 00:29:00.799 kill the soul but rather fear him who is 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.760 able to destroy both soul and body in 00:29:03.760 --> 00:29:07.200 hell read it again slowly listen to what 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.559 Ruth is saying and do not fear do not 00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:12.640 fear who kill the body those going to 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:14.320 kill this body but cannot kill the soul 00:29:14.320 --> 00:29:15.840 but cannot kill your soul mean there are 00:29:15.840 --> 00:29:18.960 two lives in you soul and body but 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.240 rather fear him who is able to destroy 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.520 both soul and body destroy both soul and 00:29:25.520 --> 00:29:27.760 body in hell jesus is the one talking 00:29:27.760 --> 00:29:29.679 meaning that Jesus has power over every 00:29:29.679 --> 00:29:31.200 part of your life this mean hell is a 00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.440 reality jesus said it 00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:34.960 do not fear the one who can kill this 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.039 body this body will never go to heaven 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:38.960 it will go back to the earth but fear 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.200 the one who can destroy both body and 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.880 soul in hell that's what Jesus 00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:46.080 said and that's the truth that should 00:29:46.080 --> 00:29:47.679 awaken our spirit that there's life 00:29:47.679 --> 00:29:51.039 after life that one day we will face God 00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:54.240 one day and the day of the judgment it's 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:57.159 true absolutely 00:29:57.159 --> 00:29:59.360 true that's why Jesus said let's go back 00:29:59.360 --> 00:30:02.240 to John mean there are two death the 00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:05.039 body can die and the spirit can die but 00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:07.000 when you have Jesus the spirit will live 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.440 forever we have death on earth in the 00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:10.960 body and we have another death over 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.000 there the second death when the soul and 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.520 the spirit will cast into the hell 00:30:15.520 --> 00:30:17.600 forever that's what the bible says to 00:30:17.600 --> 00:30:19.200 those of 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:21.120 And God's word Jesus even speaking will 00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:23.279 never fall to the ground whether you 00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:26.559 believe or not the moment this body is 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:28.720 separated from the soul you leave this 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:30.880 earth immediately the consciousness of 00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.159 heaven will come to you 00:30:33.159 --> 00:30:35.200 immediately and you cannot come back 00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:37.760 it's too late go back to John sorry she 00:30:37.760 --> 00:30:39.679 said to him "Yes Lord i believe that you 00:30:39.679 --> 00:30:41.679 are the Christ and the the son of God 00:30:41.679 --> 00:30:44.080 who is to come into the world." Mhm and 00:30:44.080 --> 00:30:46.720 when she said this these things she went 00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:48.720 away and secretly called Mary her sister 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:50.880 saying "The teacher has come and is 00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:52.559 calling for you." Good go back to verse 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:54.480 23 there's something she said I want to 00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:57.440 say again to you jesus said to her "Your 00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.159 brother will rise again." Your brother 00:31:00.159 --> 00:31:02.320 said to him "I know that he will rise 00:31:02.320 --> 00:31:03.840 again in the resurrection on the last 00:31:03.840 --> 00:31:06.159 day." You hear that jesus said "Your 00:31:06.159 --> 00:31:08.720 brother will rise again." 00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:11.039 They say I know my brother will rest 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:12.799 again on the resurrection on the last 00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.200 day we're going to talk about that but 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:17.360 Jesus will not talk yeah okay now 00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:18.799 resurrection there are two types of 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:20.559 resurrection which we want to talk about 00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:24.320 to you today and we are going to use the 00:31:24.320 --> 00:31:26.679 resurrection of Lazarus as 00:31:26.679 --> 00:31:29.880 example compared to the resurrection of 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.320 Jesus what was the difference between 00:31:32.320 --> 00:31:35.279 the two 00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:37.200 that's what Jesus was saying martha was 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:38.480 thinking about resurrection of the last 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.120 day for judgment but he said "No I'm 00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:43.440 talking about resurrection today which 00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:45.679 nobody has ever seen." He said "This man 00:31:45.679 --> 00:31:49.519 died he's in a grave since 4 days 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:51.440 decomposed he's smelling." You say "This 00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.799 guy can come back to life again." Nobody 00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:57.440 said Jesus said "If you believe you will 00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:59.039 see the glory of God." Cut to the 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:01.279 reading now Jesus had not yet come into 00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:02.640 the town but was in the place where 00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:04.799 mother met him then the Jews who were 00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:06.640 with her in the house comforting her 00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.399 when they saw that Mary rose up quickly 00:32:08.399 --> 00:32:10.320 and went out followed her saying "She is 00:32:10.320 --> 00:32:12.720 going to the tomb to weep there." Then 00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:14.880 when Mary came where Jesus was and saw 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:16.720 him she fell down at his feet saying to 00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.799 him "Lord if you had been here my 00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:20.279 brother would not have died." Could you 00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:24.919 imagine they said "Jesus if you have not 00:32:24.919 --> 00:32:27.360 delayed my brother wouldn't have died 00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:29.760 because you will heal him we only focus 00:32:29.760 --> 00:32:32.640 on healing we only focus on this earth 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:35.960 that's we it's we can't see beyond the 00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:38.919 natural but Jesus sees beyond the 00:32:38.919 --> 00:32:41.200 natural if you have been there it's too 00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:44.480 late my brother die is gone it's over 00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.799 but Jesus say it's not over when it is 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:48.559 over with man that's the beginning with 00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:50.559 God 00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.279 continue 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.120 therefore when Jesus saw her weeping and 00:32:55.120 --> 00:32:56.880 the Jews who came with her weeping he 00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.039 groaned in the spirit and was troubled 00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:01.519 and he said where have you laid him no 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:03.919 they said to him "Lord come and see." 00:33:03.919 --> 00:33:07.200 Jesus wept jesus wept why did Jesus wept 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.919 i'm asking you the question jesus wept 00:33:09.919 --> 00:33:12.360 what do you think and cause Jesus to 00:33:12.360 --> 00:33:15.200 weep because of the un and belief in the 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:18.559 hearts of people 00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:20.720 jesus wept because God can do nothing 00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:24.000 without believing he came to save and to 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:26.080 offer eternal life but nobody believes 00:33:26.080 --> 00:33:29.880 it that was why in his own 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:32.640 town he said that a prophet is little 00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:34.559 honored where he's come from and that is 00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:36.320 why he was not able to perform so many 00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:38.080 miracles because of the unbelief of the 00:33:38.080 --> 00:33:40.399 people because they were seeing him just 00:33:40.399 --> 00:33:43.760 in the natural light jesus wept twice 00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:46.559 because of unbelief for Lazarus and the 00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.440 day he enter on Palm Sunday to Jerusalem 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.880 m Jesus Jerusalem he wept over the city 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:54.960 because you have not understood the day 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:57.120 of your visitation and he knew what was 00:33:57.120 --> 00:33:59.919 coming he he knew that just 50 years 00:33:59.919 --> 00:34:02.320 after his his his death and resurrection 00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:03.919 they would come and destroy the temple 00:34:03.919 --> 00:34:07.279 jesus said Jesus saw it you say "I come 00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.440 to gather you like a hen went to gather 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:12.560 his cheeks." But you didn't want it the 00:34:12.560 --> 00:34:14.480 greatest 00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.520 trouble is ignorance ignorance is 00:34:17.520 --> 00:34:20.079 unbelief then the Jews said "See how he 00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:21.839 loved him see how he loved him." And 00:34:21.839 --> 00:34:24.159 some of them said "Could not this man 00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:25.919 who opened the eyes of the blind also 00:34:25.919 --> 00:34:27.839 have kept this this man from dying?" 00:34:27.839 --> 00:34:29.760 Can't you hear that they say "This man 00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.919 Jesus he opened the eyes of the blind we 00:34:31.919 --> 00:34:34.720 have seen it he cleansed the leopard we 00:34:34.720 --> 00:34:37.839 have seen it the lame walk why can't 00:34:37.839 --> 00:34:40.800 this man stop this man from dying if 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:44.240 he's his best friend?" Then Jesus came 00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:46.320 then Jesus again groaning in himself 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:48.320 came to the tomb it was a cave and a 00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:51.119 stone lay against it jesus said "Take 00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:53.839 away the stone." Martha the sister of 00:34:53.839 --> 00:34:56.480 him who was dead said to him "Lord by 00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:58.320 this time there is a stench for he has 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.280 been dead four days."

Do you believe in 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.680 resurrection 00:35:09.680 --> 00:35:12.800 ma Martha spoke as if she believed in 00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:14.640 resurrection but when Jesus said removed 00:35:14.640 --> 00:35:15.920 the stone he said "Master master 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:18.800 master." No it's 4 days he died he's 00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:20.960 smelling he cannot come back again 00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.119 martha the sister of him who was dead 00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:24.800 said to him "Lord by this time there is 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:26.480 a stench for he has been dead four 00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:30.000 days." 4 days it's impossible jesus said 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:33.440 to her Jesus said "Did I not say to you 00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.680 if you would believe if you believe in 00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:37.599 me you would see the glory of God." What 00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:39.839 does it mean jesus if you don't believe 00:35:39.839 --> 00:35:43.119 in me the resurrection and the life you 00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:44.480 have to believe Jesus is the 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.079 resurrection and the life you have to 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:47.839 believe Jesus has risen from the dead 00:35:47.839 --> 00:35:51.119 and he will raise him from the dead 00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:54.560 that our faith is in Christ his death 00:35:54.560 --> 00:35:57.119 and resurrection for you if you believe 00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:58.560 you receive the gift of

00:36:08.079 place where the dead man was laying and 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:09.839 Jesus lifted up his eyes and said 00:36:09.839 --> 00:36:11.920 "Father I thank you that you have heard 00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:14.560 me and I know that you always hear me 00:36:14.560 --> 00:36:16.000 but because of the people who were 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.320 standing by I said this that they could 00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:20.160 believe that they may believe that you 00:36:20.160 --> 00:36:23.040 sent me now when he had said these 00:36:23.040 --> 00:36:25.400 things he cried with a loud voice 00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:28.200 Lazarus come forth 00:36:28.200 --> 00:36:34.400 lazarus come forth and what happened 00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:36.880 and he who had died came out bound hand 00:36:36.880

00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:48.440 he fell sick a deadly disease and he 00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:52.000 died then they took him to the tomb and 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:55.040 they buried him after 4 days the body 00:36:55.040 --> 00:36:57.680 begin to decompose as a stench when 00:36:57.680 --> 00:37:00.359 Jesus call him back to 00:37:00.359 --> 00:37:03.359 life Lazarus came out but in that body 00:37:03.359 --> 00:37:07.200 no sickness he was made whole what 00:37:07.200 --> 00:37:08.800 happened at that moment i want to 00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:11.119 explain to you let me show you one 00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:13.480 diagram try to explain we are going to 00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:15.839 compare in the Bible we have many cases 00:37:15.839 --> 00:37:18.160 of resurrection in the Bible so many in 00:37:18.160 --> 00:37:20.320 the book of first king chapter 17 ruth 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:24.400 can you go to first Kings 17:23 even 22 00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:26.240 then the Lord heard the voice of Elijah 00:37:26.240 --> 00:37:28.640 and the soul of the child came back read 00:37:28.640 --> 00:37:31.280 before read before the the boy was dead 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.359 read verse before then he cried out to 00:37:33.359 --> 00:37:35.440 the Lord and said "Oh Lord my God have 00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:37.119 you also brought tragedy on the widow 00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:38.960 with whom I lodge by killing her son?" 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:40.960 Mhm and he stretched himself out on the 00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:43.200 child three times and cried out to the 00:37:43.200 --> 00:37:46.400 Lord and said "Oh Lord my God I pray let 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:48.240 this child's soul come back to him." 00:37:48.240 --> 00:37:50.640 Come on when we die in the body you can 00:37:50.640 --> 00:37:53.040 see there's a separation between the 00:37:53.040 --> 00:37:55.000 spirit and the soul and the 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.400 body that is 00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.960 death physical death the spirit and the 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:03.440 soul are separated from the body and the 00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:05.520 body still remain on the earth it came 00:38:05.520 --> 00:38:07.960 from the dust if we go back to the dust 00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:12.240 here now when Elijah prayed he said "God 00:38:12.240 --> 00:38:15.599 let the soul come back to this body." 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.240 That's what Elijah prayed lord let this 00:38:18.240 --> 00:38:20.880 soul who departed who disconnected from 00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.040 this body bringing physical death let 00:38:23.040 --> 00:38:24.880 him come back to this body so his body 00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:27.359 can live again that was a prayer of 00:38:27.359 --> 00:38:29.760 Elijah what happened Ruth then the Lord 00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.240 heard the voice of Elijah and the soul 00:38:32.240 --> 00:38:34.480 of the child came back to him and he 00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:36.960 revived the soul came back and revived 00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:39.560 this is resurrection for somebody who's 00:38:39.560 --> 00:38:44.400 dead and come back to life again that's 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:46.320 resurrection that Elijah did the same 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.240 happened to Elisha with the widow of 00:38:48.240 --> 00:38:51.040 Zarapath now Jesus did one let's go to 00:38:51.040 --> 00:38:52.839 Luke 00:38:52.839 --> 00:38:55.280 7:1 and this one is different from 00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.760 Lazarus now we can see many resurrection 00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.160 happened in the Bible but those people 00:39:00.160 --> 00:39:01.880 those people were not buried 00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:04.560 yet they were just die they be on their 00:39:04.560 --> 00:39:06.400 bed they be in the hostel bed whatever 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.800 the soul come back and they begin to 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:10.880 live again now it happened the day after 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:12.800 that he went into a city called Naine 00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:14.400 and many of his disciples went with him 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:16.800 and a large crowd and when he came near 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:18.960 the gate of the city behold a dead man 00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:20.960 was being carried out a dead man the 00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:22.640 only son of his mother they were taken 00:39:22.640 --> 00:39:24.720 to the graveyard and she was a widow mhm 00:39:24.720 --> 00:39:26.480 and the large crowd from the city was 00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:28.720 with her yes when the Lord saw her he 00:39:28.720 --> 00:39:30.720 had compassion on her and said to her 00:39:30.720 --> 00:39:33.520 "Do not weep."

I have power to raise it up now 00:43:17.359 --> 00:43:20.240 let's talk about Jesus here let me move 00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:23.680 you back jesus was buried like Lazarus 00:43:23.680 --> 00:43:26.000 was in the tomb three days three nights 00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:29.440 on the third day Jesus rose from the 00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:32.880 dead the difference between the two 00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:34.960 lazarus came back to life with a normal 00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.200 body he came back to life with normal 00:43:37.200 --> 00:43:40.960 body and after he died like all men died 00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:42.640 all the people that were raised from the 00:43:42.640 --> 00:43:45.119 dead resurrected they lived and after 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:46.599 one time they die 00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:49.960 again but the case of Jesus is 00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:52.800 different the case of Jesus Colossians 00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:54.560 chapter 1:18 let's talk about 00:43:54.560 --> 00:43:56.560 resurrection of Jesus colossians 1:18 00:43:56.560 --> 00:43:58.800 now this is the area that concerns you 00:43:58.800 --> 00:43:59.880 and 00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:02.560 I this is the question we talk about the 00:44:02.560 --> 00:44:05.119 resurrection of the last day and he is 00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:07.200 the head of the body the church who is 00:44:07.200 --> 00:44:09.200 the beginning the firstborn from the 00:44:09.200 --> 00:44:11.599 dead that in all things he may have 00:44:11.599 --> 00:44:13.680 preeminence why we call the firstborn 00:44:13.680 --> 00:44:15.760 from the dead because his resurrection 00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:17.760 was different which kind of resurrection 00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:20.319 is talking about it's not Lazarus one 00:44:20.319 --> 00:44:23.520 this one is completely different when 00:44:23.520 --> 00:44:24.880 Jesus rose from the dead on the third 00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:26.560 day what happened 00:44:26.560 --> 00:44:29.400 no human being will see him jesus 00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:32.760 appeared by revelation to his 00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:36.319 disciples he was in the body of glory 00:44:36.319 --> 00:44:39.359 jesus can enter without opening the door 00:44:39.359 --> 00:44:40.760 and 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:42.880 disappeared and when he rose from the 00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.040 dead the disciple refused to believe and 00:44:45.040 --> 00:44:47.359 he told them because they only know 00:44:47.359 --> 00:44:50.000 natural death but this time Jesus rose 00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.400 from the dead appeared to the women they 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.200 didn't believe and Jesus came to the 00:44:55.200 --> 00:44:57.760 midst of them and say and he greet all 00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.400 of them peace be with you and they saw 00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:03.520 him he said touch me a spirit has no 00:45:03.520 --> 00:45:06.400 flesh and bones it was his body 00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:08.319 crucified they saw with the holes with 00:45:08.319 --> 00:45:11.359 the pain but that body was not natural 00:45:11.359 --> 00:45:13.240 body was a body of 00:45:13.240 --> 00:45:16.480 glory Jesus can appear can disappear and 00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:18.480 he ascended back to heaven like he 00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:22.400 appeared on the way to Emmas exactly 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.240 on the way to emer appeared to two 00:45:24.240 --> 00:45:26.480 that's the d we saw but they didn't 00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:28.880 believe they think physical death is the 00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:29.720 end of 00:45:29.720 --> 00:45:32.000 everything why are we so much 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:33.440 conditioned to believe that when you die 00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:35.440 it is over and that's the greatest 00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:37.839 mistake people are making today 00:45:37.839 --> 00:45:41.760 if a holy person a believer dies only in 00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:43.760 body but he continues to live in the 00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.000 spirit with 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.359 God he may not relate with you on the 00:45:47.359 --> 00:45:50.160 physically but the Bible says he's alive 00:45:50.160 --> 00:45:51.839 when Jesus referred to Abra Abraham God 00:45:51.839 --> 00:45:53.680 of Abraham Isaac and Jacob god is not 00:45:53.680 --> 00:45:55.240 the God of the dead he's the God of the 00:45:55.240 --> 00:45:58.160 living now let me talk about something 00:45:58.160 --> 00:46:00.680 what happened i said 00:46:00.680 --> 00:46:02.920 everybody who died 00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:05.520 naturally in the Bible and who was 00:46:05.520 --> 00:46:07.920 raised from the dead all of them they 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:08.760 died 00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:11.480 finally they go back to the dust 00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:16.079 everybody but Jesus after 40 days Jesus 00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:18.880 ascended to heaven and sat at the right 00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:20.280 hand of 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.720 God the other people what happened to 00:46:22.720 --> 00:46:24.160 other people what happen now if a 00:46:24.160 --> 00:46:26.000 believer dies in the natural where will 00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:27.440 he go that's the question we are talking 00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:29.119 about before we talk about believer I'm 00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:30.520 talking about 00:46:30.520 --> 00:46:33.760 unbeliever I hope you can see me right 00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.800 you can see death is separation if an 00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.280 unbeliever dies what happen the body go 00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:42.079 back to the dust the Question his spirit 00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:43.800 on soul where is he 00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:46.640 going the scripture says clearly that if 00:46:46.640 --> 00:46:49.280 a person dies here and his body is 00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:52.280 buried his soul and spirit will go to 00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:55.520 darkness they go to darkness waiting for 00:46:55.520 --> 00:46:58.160 a judgment of the last day jesus is 00:46:58.160 --> 00:47:01.520 talking about Jesus say he is the judge 00:47:01.520 --> 00:47:03.359 of the living and of the dead can you go 00:47:03.359 --> 00:47:06.640 to 2 Timothy 4:1 00:47:06.640 --> 00:47:08.880 i charge you therefore before God and 00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:10.880 the Lord Jesus Christ who will judge the 00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:13.440 living and the dead at his appearing and 00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:16.560 his kingdom jesus will judge the living 00:47:16.560 --> 00:47:20.079 and the dead 2 Corinthians 5:10 this 00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:21.480 should go there 00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:24.160 again mean on the earth Jesus is the 00:47:24.160 --> 00:47:26.319 savior but don't forget at the last day 00:47:26.319 --> 00:47:29.440 he say will come to me Lord I cast out 00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.480 demon I prophesy I heal people said get 00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:34.760 behind me I don't know 00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:39.079 you terrible judgment in Matthew chapter 00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:42.960 26:45 to the end he said at the last day 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:46.640 I will separate the book from the god I 00:47:46.640 --> 00:47:48.319 will say to you come Come and take my 00:47:48.319 --> 00:47:50.960 kingdom i was naked you closed me i was 00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.359 hungry you fed me come and enter eternal 00:47:53.359 --> 00:47:55.599 life jesus will be standing to judge 00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:57.760 every human being no one comes to heaven 00:47:57.760 --> 00:47:59.920 except through him mhm before we must 00:47:59.920 --> 00:48:01.839 all appear before the judgment seat of 00:48:01.839 --> 00:48:04.319 Christ that each one may receive the 00:48:04.319 --> 00:48:06.240 things done in the body according to 00:48:06.240 --> 00:48:08.800 what he has done whether good or bad 00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:10.480 that's why the Bible calls Jesus the 00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:13.119 judge of the living and the judge of the 00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:15.440 dead nobody can bypass Jesus if you 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.280 ignore when when it says the judge of 00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:20.319 the living it means that even now on 00:48:20.319 --> 00:48:22.319 whilst we're alive on earth it's only 00:48:22.319 --> 00:48:24.160 God who can judge the motive of our 00:48:24.160 --> 00:48:26.640 heart well it means at the resurrection 00:48:26.640 --> 00:48:29.440 both the saved and unsaved everybody 00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:30.880 will rise from the dead and appear 00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:32.240 before him so that's what it means the 00:48:32.240 --> 00:48:34.079 living and the dead meaning living in 00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:35.680 your soul and dead in your soul i'm 00:48:35.680 --> 00:48:36.880 coming to that's what I'm coming to 00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:38.720 demonstrate here we have the dead and 00:48:38.720 --> 00:48:41.359 the living such a person here God say 00:48:41.359 --> 00:48:44.160 he's dead because he never born again m 00:48:44.160 --> 00:48:47.079 if a person is born on the earth 00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:50.240 naturally and he dies naturally for God 00:48:50.240 --> 00:48:51.760 like a still birth who died in the 00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:53.839 mother womb he never saw eternal life 00:48:53.839 --> 00:48:57.000 never born again as he came he 00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:59.680 disappeared but his soul and spirit go 00:48:59.680 --> 00:49:01.359 to this darkness waiting for the 00:49:01.359 --> 00:49:03.359 judgment day at the last day that's what 00:49:03.359 --> 00:49:05.599 the Bible says that's why we preach the 00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:08.240 gospel for salvation for eternal life to 00:49:08.240 --> 00:49:10.160 bring awareness 00:49:10.160 --> 00:49:13.200 of life after life of the truth after 00:49:13.200 --> 00:49:16.000 life we should believe God for salvation 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:18.359 we should believe Jesus for eternal 00:49:18.359 --> 00:49:21.040 life don't forget he said many will come 00:49:21.040 --> 00:49:24.559 to me say Lord Lord Lord I prophesy I 00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:26.559 heal the sick say I don't know you you 00:49:26.559 --> 00:49:28.040 who practice 00:49:28.040 --> 00:49:30.800 lawlessness he judges the fruit of the 00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:33.119 spirit in our lives that's the heavenly 00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:35.119 currency that's the heavenly currency m 00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:40.079 so here now I want to go quickly and 00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:41.559 read 00:49:41.559 --> 00:49:44.000 here the resurrection and condemnation 00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:47.839 of the just now if the unjust die the 00:49:47.839 --> 00:49:50.319 Bible say at the resurrection there's a 00:49:50.319 --> 00:49:53.520 hell here that's why Matthew 10 28 say 00:49:53.520 --> 00:49:55.680 do not fear the one who can kill the 00:49:55.680 --> 00:49:58.000 body but rather fear the one who is able 00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:01.200 to destroy both soul and body in 00:50:01.200 --> 00:50:05.040 hellfire m that is it at that day 00:50:05.040 --> 00:50:07.599 everybody who die will resurrect you can 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:09.920 see this person will resurrect in a new 00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:13.839 body and may end up in hell forever why 00:50:13.839 --> 00:50:16.160 because this body that is resurrected is 00:50:16.160 --> 00:50:18.400 a body of glory that body will be there 00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:20.000 forever 00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:22.559 there's no decomposition we will be in 00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.559 the hellfire for eternity because that 00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:28.240 body is eternal eternally in hell 00:50:28.240 --> 00:50:30.960 eternally inment eternally in punishment 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:32.559 that's terrible where do you want to 00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:34.040 spend 00:50:34.040 --> 00:50:36.559 eternity can you compare the lifespan 00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.920 here on earth to lifespan in eternity 00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:41.839 there either in hell in paradise that's 00:50:41.839 --> 00:50:44.800 what the Bible says 00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:46.720 so why we value so much natural things 00:50:46.720 --> 00:50:48.720 and neglect eternity where will you 00:50:48.720 --> 00:50:50.880 spend eternity that's what the Bible 00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.359 says and if we believe we're going to 00:50:53.359 --> 00:50:55.960 spend eternity with Jesus then why don't 00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:58.480 we spend more time with him on this 00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:00.559 earth because we're going to go and be 00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:02.800 with him forever so why don't we develop 00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:05.200 our relationship with him because he 00:51:05.200 --> 00:51:07.520 because one day we'll return to

nothing you could do 00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:54.400 physically in this earth to merit 00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:57.880 eternal life so in 00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:00.480 conclusion you to be born again is to 00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:02.880 have everlasting life before you are 00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:05.839 born again you must die with Jesus and 00:59:05.839 --> 00:59:08.640 you must resurrect with Jesus what does 00:59:08.640 --> 00:59:12.000 it mean you must die to sin 00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:14.319 you must die to forsake all sin and 00:59:14.319 --> 00:59:16.480 embrace righteousness and when you 00:59:16.480 --> 00:59:18.480 receive Holy Spirit you begin to live in 00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:22.319 him in him we live in him we move and 00:59:22.319 --> 00:59:25.680 have our being because I live you live 00:59:25.680 --> 00:59:27.760 the life of a Christian comes from God 00:59:27.760 --> 00:59:29.520 directly from the Holy Spirit that's 00:59:29.520 --> 00:59:31.760 eternal life because the Holy Spirit 00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:34.319 cannot dwell in an unholy place so that 00:59:34.319 --> 00:59:37.040 is why our heart has to be cleansed and 00:59:37.040 --> 00:59:38.880 our heart has to be renewed and revived 00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:41.240 and our heart has to be delivered from 00:59:41.240 --> 00:59:43.839 sin that is what Jesus came to deliver 00:59:43.839 --> 00:59:46.160 us from from sin because sin is 00:59:46.160 --> 00:59:49.040 spiritual death death to our soul death 00:59:49.040 --> 00:59:51.599 to our spirit and it gives Satan legal 00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:54.240 right over us but when our sin is 00:59:54.240 --> 00:59:56.480 forgiven cleansed that's when we can 00:59:56.480 --> 00:59:57.920 have that relationship and that 00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:00.799 fellowship with Jesus that's why we need 01:00:00.799 --> 01:00:04.160 to understand the divine significance of 01:00:04.160 --> 01:00:07.680 all these resurrection Easter we 01:00:07.680 --> 01:00:10.000 celebrate the life of Christ we 01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:12.799 celebrate the new life we celebrate 01:00:12.799 --> 01:00:15.280 eternal life if you believe it you 01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:17.920 become partaker of that grace partaker 01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:19.599 of that life and the life of Christ 01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:20.960 begin to manifest in you when you have 01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:22.720 holy spirit someone keeps asking a 01:00:22.720 --> 01:00:24.480 question maybe like 10 times what was 01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:26.160 the purpose for Jesus Christ to go and 01:00:26.160 --> 01:00:28.079 preach to the spirits in prison what 01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:30.520 happened we have to 01:00:30.520 --> 01:00:33.119 distinguish before the revelation of 01:00:33.119 --> 01:00:35.599 Jesus and what existed before and after 01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:37.280 Jesus 01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:40.400 the Bible says God brought a judgment in 01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:41.559 the time of 01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:44.960 Noah in the time of the flood 01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:47.119 those spirit those people that's pretty 01:00:47.119 --> 01:00:48.640 referring to that's what the Bible says 01:00:48.640 --> 01:00:50.319 in the book of jud and in the book of 01:00:50.319 --> 01:00:53.280 Peter that those spirit were captive 01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:56.000 because because of iniquity God sent 01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:59.760 judgment and everybody died by the flood 01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:02.000 except Noah and his family eight people 01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:04.960 were only saved now those people never 01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:07.520 knew Jesus am I right but God is a 01:01:07.520 --> 01:01:10.720 faithful God spirit was captive when you 01:01:10.720 --> 01:01:12.880 die they were in darkness what it means 01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:16.799 when I said Yeah when but this were here 01:01:16.799 --> 01:01:19.920 in darkness they died they left the 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:21.680 earth but they were darkness waiting for 01:01:21.680 --> 01:01:24.720 the judgment to come on the last day so 01:01:24.720 --> 01:01:26.880 when Jesus came the Bible say Jesus went 01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:29.760 to the earth lower earthly region of the 01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:31.760 earth to preach to them the gospel of 01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:33.760 salvation that's what the Bible says he 01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:35.440 went to preach the gospel to them so 01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:36.960 nobody can say I never knew Jesus i 01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:39.119 never knew the gospel m that's the 01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:40.640 mystery one of the mysteries of the 01:01:40.640 --> 01:01:42.960 Bible that God gave them a second chance 01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:44.480 when Jesus preached the gospel to them 01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:45.920 we don't know the outcome the only judge 01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:48.640 is Jesus but that's what happened today 01:01:48.640 --> 01:01:51.240 how do we know who is saved who is not 01:01:51.240 --> 01:01:54.160 saved only Jesus knows that's why only 01:01:54.160 --> 01:01:55.920 him can judge who is saved who's not 01:01:55.920 --> 01:01:58.400 saved nobody can deceive him he looks at 01:01:58.400 --> 01:01:59.599 your heart to know whether you are Holy 01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:01.680 Spirit or not somebody can pretend to be 01:02:01.680 --> 01:02:04.160 a Christian wearing big crown big Bible 01:02:04.160 --> 01:02:06.880 but the heart is far from God the only 01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:08.640 judge of the living and the dead is 01:02:08.640 --> 01:02:11.359 Jesus Christ of Nazareth at the last day 01:02:11.359 --> 01:02:14.480 so the only judge of your heart is Jesus 01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:16.079 that's why no man whether your heart is 01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:18.640 alive or your heart is dead the only one 01:02:18.640 --> 01:02:21.200 who can know that and judge that is 01:02:21.200 --> 01:02:23.119 Jesus Christ that's why the Bible says 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.760 don't rush to judge on the appearance 01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:28.000 ask God the Holy Spirit to get you past 01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:30.240 appearance to the heart so you know who 01:02:30.240 --> 01:02:32.240 the person really is someone's asking 01:02:32.240 --> 01:02:34.319 how may I know that I'm saved you can 01:02:34.319 --> 01:02:36.240 know that's the easiest conception if 01:02:36.240 --> 01:02:37.599 you are saved you have the peace of God 01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:39.920 in your heart the Holy Spirit Holy 01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:42.040 Spirit will give you peace of heart and 01:02:42.040 --> 01:02:45.280 mind if you are saved you forsake the 01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:48.160 life of sin you were living before if 01:02:48.160 --> 01:02:49.920 you are saved you want to know God more 01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:51.520 you want to hear God more you want to 01:02:51.520 --> 01:02:52.960 fellowship with God more and please him 01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:54.559 by faith and you have peace in your 01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:56.480 heart in your life and you trust and 01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:58.160 believe Jesus that's the evidence of 01:02:58.160 --> 01:03:00.880 salvation you must have faith to be 01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:03.200 saved before you become a Christian you 01:03:03.200 --> 01:03:05.200 must believe in Jesus in your heart you 01:03:05.200 --> 01:03:06.480 must believe his resurrection in your 01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:10.480 heart you must repent we forget that you 01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:12.160 can't just say accept Jesus the Bible 01:03:12.160 --> 01:03:14.559 say repent the kingdom of God is at hand 01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:16.160 you must repent and forsake all 01:03:16.160 --> 01:03:18.559 unrighteousness and embrace Jesus and 01:03:18.559 --> 01:03:20.000 embrace his new life because 01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:22.160 Christianity is a lifestyle of trusting 01:03:22.160 --> 01:03:25.119 in God and then Holy Ghost will help you 01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:28.720 to be like Jesus to be saved i want to 01:03:28.720 --> 01:03:30.480 be saved how can I receive the Holy 01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:32.000 Spirit someone's asking the question is 01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:33.839 so simple the Bible say you have to 01:03:33.839 --> 01:03:36.720 believe in Jesus of Nazareth go to act 01:03:36.720 --> 01:03:40.039 chapter 2 starting from verse 35 to 01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:43.280 38 that's why what kind of gospel are we 01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:45.280 listening today 01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:47.599 is it gospel for eternal there only
