We're about three things. 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,040 Build equipped and send all under the. 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,240 Lordship of Jesus Christ, a small church plant in Fort 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,400 Worth, TX. Who decided to do things a 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,880 little differently? Adoramos Ajesu Cristo I love 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,480 city post because of the people. It's where I belong. 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,640 We truly preach the word. I love City Post because of the 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,000 community we've been able to build. 9 00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:28,040 To do ministry like Jesus. For light to push back. 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,640 Darkness. This is City Post podcast. 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,480 I mean Genesis 3 this morning. Hey, so confession about a. 12 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,360 Week and a half ago. I was at the courts because I 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,880 got a ticket. I know you're like Rick. 14 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:49,640 You're past. You're not. 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,520 Supposed to get tickets. But it's not my. 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,240 Fault that I had to. Wait, so. 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120 Long to get my license renewed. Texas y'all need to like. 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,960 Speed the process up. I'm just blaming other people. 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,240 I had a year so. So when I got hit, I got 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,000 hit.com. When I got hit, I ended. 21 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,080 Up getting a ticket for. Having an expired license and 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,640 then I. Also got another citation 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,160 doesn't. Citation sound better than 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,080 ticket. I got another citation. 25 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,520 For making an illegal left. Turn so I had all. 26 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,240 All this piling up on me, I was like, Satan, you're attacking 27 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,600 me. It was actually my dumb. 28 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,360 Fault and. And all this was happening, so I 29 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,800 had. To go to a judge. 30 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,080 I had to stand in front of a court because I didn't want the 31 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,720 consequences of my citations to follow me all through life. 32 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,600 So I had to like. Spend my morning, my Thursday 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,520 morning, and I'm sitting there in the courthouse waiting to 34 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,960 plead no contest. To see if I could do. 35 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:48,680 Driver's Ed and to show them that I actually do have my 36 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,040 license so go ahead and just. Take that off. 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,920 And as I'm waiting. To go see the judge. 38 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,760 My attitude kind of changed. A little bit. 39 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,520 I was like, man, this. Is going to take like two or 40 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,000 three hours. And I'm just sitting here like 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360 on my phone reading like, man, will they hurry? 42 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840 Up. And then I started doing like 43 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,919 the whole like. Why do I have? 44 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,640 To do all this like it's not, I just got a. 45 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:16,240 Citation for a license. Like at least I didn't kill 46 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,960 anybody. Like it could have been so much 47 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,480 worse. Like I'm not selling drugs to 48 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,760 minors. I'm not, I didn't go steal. 49 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,080 I didn't do any of these harder crimes. 50 00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:27,240 Like why do I have to take time out of my? 51 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,960 Schedule to come and see the judge. 52 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,040 To make sure that this. Thing doesn't follow me and hike 53 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,920 up my insurance or. Or maybe there's another career. 54 00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,400 I want that they're going to look at my background and it's 55 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,160 going to it's just going to follow me through life like. 56 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,800 Why do I have? To do all this stuff. 57 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,160 It's not that serious and of. Course I went to the. 58 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Judge everything is cool. Paid my 200 bucks and kept it 59 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,600 moving. But I say all this. 60 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:59,760 Because when we talk about. Sin Many Christians see sin as 61 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,560 a. Parking ticket or a citation? 62 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,360 It's not that bad I. Just don't want this thing to 63 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,640 like follow me through. Life and, you know, maybe. 64 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,960 I could get rid of. It but then we start. 65 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,320 Pointing like but I wasn't as bad as that person. 66 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,840 Like my sin wasn't as bad as their. 67 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,920 Sin. So God, being the judge, should. 68 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,800 Like give me a little bit of a lighter. 69 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,120 Sentence should ease things up in my life. 70 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,600 It shouldn't be that serious. But when we look at a holy and 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,760 righteous. God, sin is sin. 72 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,320 And when sin came into this world, Adam and Eve. 73 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,160 Did not just break a. Command Adam and Eve did not. 74 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,680 Just get a citation. No, this is so much bigger than 75 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,920 us. So what I want to look at? 76 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,480 Today is the result. Of sin last. 77 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,680 Week we talked about creation. And how God shows. 78 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,400 His glory through His creation. And the pinnacle of that 79 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,120 creation is when he created. Man and woman when he created 80 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,160 mankind and how that relationship was. 81 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,160 Perfect with him they were. Perfect with each other. 82 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,279 And the the relationship between mankind and nature was perfect. 83 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,880 Everything was great and then they sinned. 84 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,320 Satan comes in in the form of a. Serpent he. 85 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,640 Kind of sells it to. Eve, like you will be like God. 86 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,240 Like did God really say you will surely die? 87 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,000 Are you sure about this? And Eve. 88 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,920 Fell into it and gave. The fruit to Adam. 89 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,760 They both sinned against God and everything went wrong. 90 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,760 The relationship amongst themselves. 91 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,040 And we talked about that what what like. 92 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,720 Sin how it creeps into our marriages and. 93 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,680 And how? Pride does all this bad. 94 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,800 Stuff in our relationships and in how sin. 95 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,520 Damages our relationship with God. 96 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,560 And what I want to. Look at today is the. 97 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,640 Outcome of sin but also. At the end of Genesis 3. 98 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,080 God gives us a way. Out. 99 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,800 Through his mercy and His. Grace, man, which I just. 100 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,720 You know when I. Saw this I. 101 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,240 Was like my mind was blown. I was like how come I never 102 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,080 noticed this but I want to. Talk a little bit about sin 103 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,520 first, because in. Order for there to be. 104 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,280 Good news, There's got to be bad news. 105 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,560 And the bad news? Is that all of us jacked it up? 106 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,680 Because all of us. Are born into our sinful nature. 107 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,480 All of us have. Sinned all of us have. 108 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,640 Fallen short of the glory of God. 109 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,040 Sin is not just a little. Bit. 110 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,360 A lot of bit. Whatever. 111 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,520 No, when you sin. Against the holy, unrighteous 112 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,600 God. Boom. 113 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,320 It's immediate. It's an. 114 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,600 Immediate rebellion against the Lord. 115 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,800 There's a definition of sin I want to put. 116 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,520 Up here. And if, when we? 117 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,360 Look at How do I? Define sin. 118 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,640 Listen sin. In a simple term, sin is the. 119 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,640 Rebellion of the creature against the creation. 120 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,280 God. Created us, and because God. 121 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:02,000 Created. Us. 122 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,040 Therefore he owns us. We talked about this last. 123 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,560 Week so when we sin against a holy and righteous. 124 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,160 God we are. Rebelling against the God. 125 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,040 Who created you and I? We are rejecting everything 126 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,000 we're. Rejecting his. 127 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,640 Care for us. We're rejecting his authority. 128 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,480 We're rejecting the right. That he gave us to. 129 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,760 Command everything on this earth. 130 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,320 We are. Telling God that we know more 131 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,440 than Him. My way is better than your. 132 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,360 Way. Now God. 133 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,160 Gave Adam and his wife. He gave him a. 134 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,000 Heads up. And because God created 135 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,360 everything. He gave. 136 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,720 Parameters for everything, so he's. 137 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,760 Telling Adam and Eve he's like, listen, I made you guys so I 138 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,280 know how y'all function. I know how to. 139 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:53,320 Best have you thrive. And then he gives them the 140 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,840 cultural mandate. He's like, man, I'm going to 141 00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:58,000 give you everything to you, Adam, and then I want you. 142 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,360 Guys to multiply the. World and and. 143 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,520 We talked about what that. Looks like what marriage looks 144 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,360 like. But then they sin and in God in 145 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,240 Genesis chapter 2 verse 17, God is like, I want you to eat this 146 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,920 and you can have that and I want you to name all the animals, but 147 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,560 but there's one thing I need you not to do and the one thing is 148 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,280 for you to eat from this tree right here. 149 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,040 Everything else is cool. But this one little thing do not 150 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,320 eat from this tree. Because if you do. 151 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,760 You will know good and evil God sets. 152 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,480 The boundaries to help. Adam and Eve thrive. 153 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,040 He sets them up. For success, but they fall. 154 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,880 Into rejection. And then when they sin, they're 155 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,800 now rejecting God's authority over them, and they're declaring 156 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,000 their independence from him. And God's like I created you, 157 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,320 but now they fall into the lie. Of Satan. 158 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,360 Like man, I want to be like God. I want to know what he knows. 159 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,640 The one thing that God did not place under Adam's feet was 160 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,440 Himself. But everything else? 161 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,800 God told Adam, man, I need you to run this. 162 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,400 I need you to name the Adam. Everything else like work the 163 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,160 grounds, it's going to be great. For you so when we. 164 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,440 Sin we become enemies of God. Now we have been. 165 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,320 Casted away from his presence. Rather than becoming his friends 166 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,360 and something joyful and some of us are thinking, man, Ricky, 167 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,040 that's a little. Extreme like like. 168 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,960 Man like a little sin. Like I said, a little bad. 169 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,640 Where at? Least I didn't kill anybody. 170 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,200 Listen when you're dealing with a holy and righteous being. 171 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,320 God is holy and righteous. Anything will take you away from 172 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,200 His presence that does not belong to Him. 173 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,040 There's also. A saying I'm going to. 174 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:52,200 Go put this quote up. Sin is in US and of us, not just 175 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,640 on us. Sin is in US and of. 176 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,440 Us. It's not just on. 177 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,000 Us, when we think of sin, whenever we think about 178 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,280 rebelling against God, it's not like I messed up. 179 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,720 It's not like I did something bad. 180 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,560 No, like sin goes into the. Crevices of our heart. 181 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:17,320 And our being and our soul, so our human nature, all stems from 182 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,080 a sinful nature. Because. 183 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,320 Of how sin came into this world. So that means even. 184 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,840 When you. Try to do good it. 185 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,080 Thrives out of sin, even. Our emotions thrive out of. 186 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,760 Sins. So if you think. 187 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,920 About stuff that we struggle with, like our. 188 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,040 Addictions. How we treat people. 189 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,960 How we act out of. Anger, how we pop off. 190 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,360 How we get stressed out? Our anxiety, our depression. 191 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,560 Listen, those are just. Symptoms to a greater force, and 192 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:50,120 that force is sin all of that. Stuff is in our inner self, it's 193 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,480 in our hearts. So no matter how. 194 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,960 Good, we try to be. It will never be good enough and 195 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,120 for. Some of us, we don't. 196 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,720 Realize how jacked up we are. So how? 197 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,760 Do we know that we're in our sinful nature? 198 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,120 God gives us his righteous. Law as a mirror. 199 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,240 So what God does is he gives us a law. 200 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,000 He gives us. Some boundaries and some. 201 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,920 Stipulations to show us just how bad. 202 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,400 We are Romans 319, it says. Now we know. 203 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,960 That whatever the law says, it says to those. 204 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,200 Who are under the law so that every mouth. 205 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,240 May be. Silenced, and that the whole 206 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:30,040 world held accountable to God. Then Romans 323. 207 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,640 For. All have sinned and fallen short 208 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,640 of the glory of. God. 209 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,320 So sin is a big. Problem guys and it entered. 210 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,880 Our world. Through one man was Adam. 211 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,360 So we're all. Born of sin. 212 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,920 We all have a sin nature. Listen, you can't teach. 213 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,360 A little baby, How to be bad. I remember when Livia was a. 214 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,960 Baby and we were. Feeding her, she takes the food 215 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,880 and throws. It at us who taught her that 216 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,120 South side Livia. That's right. 217 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,680 Who taught her that? Nobody teaches your kids how to 218 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:08,240 misbehave. It's in our human nature. 219 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,000 Right. So that's why the Gospel is such 220 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,720 fantastic. News and what I want to. 221 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,360 Look at is a few. Things this morning because OK, 222 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,920 Sin entered the world. And in order. 223 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,880 For us to understand the. Gospel of Jesus Christ. 224 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,320 We have. To understand the sin problem 225 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,760 and how we. Solve the sin. 226 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,320 Problem. So immediately sin enters the 227 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,280 world, but yet immediately. We see God's grace. 228 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,840 How do we see? God's grace immediately because 229 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,000 Adam and Eve. Are still alive to talk about 230 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120 it. What did God tell them? 231 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,040 If you eat from this tree. You will surely die they. 232 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,200 Eat from the tree and they're still going. 233 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,600 So God in his gracious nature has this. 234 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,560 Amazing plan he's going to. Show us today. 235 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,600 So look at verse. 8IN Genesis I'm going to run through and our 236 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,920 focus is going to be verse. 20 but I want. 237 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,040 To run through a few things so that way it. 238 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,240 Sets us up for success. And then afterward, we'll be out 239 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,000 of here. And then we'll go take our moms 240 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,080 out to eat and all that good. Stuff, Right, All right, so. 241 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,600 Here we go. Look at verse 8. 242 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,120 It says so this. Happens after they take the. 243 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Fruit. They fall under the the scheme 244 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,080 of the serpent. Verse 8 says then the man and 245 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,560 his. Wife heard the sound of the. 246 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,720 Lord God as he was. Walking in the garden. 247 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,320 Of the cool. Of the day and they hid from. 248 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,360 God, the Lord God. Among the trees of the garden in 249 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,160 verse 9, but the. Lord God called. 250 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,240 To the man. Where are you? 251 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,560 And he answered, I heard you in the garden. 252 00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:41,480 I was afraid because I was naked. 253 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,960 So I heard I hid and then verse 11. 254 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,440 And then he said. Who? 255 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280 Told you you were naked. Have you eaten from the tree 256 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,000 that I commanded you not to eat from? 257 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,040 All right, I just think. This is so fascinating so. 258 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,520 A quick in verse 8, something that's really interesting here 259 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,320 is the name of God. You see in Genesis chapter 1 and 260 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,960 2 the name of God comes out as Elohim. 261 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,800 Elohim means God our creator. Beginning from verse 8 on, the 262 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,160 author of Genesis who's Moses starts adding a different name 263 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,200 of God and he has. Yahweh to it. 264 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,280 So you might see Elohim Yahweh or you might see Yahweh Adonai, 265 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,960 which means. So Elohim is God the Creator. 266 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,320 But now it's switching to Yahweh, which is God in a more 267 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,080 personal sense, like my Lord my my Adonai. 268 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,520 Why? Because now God is about to get 269 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,440 into relation. Closer to. 270 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,320 Adam and Eve. He's he's. 271 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,000 Walking. Watch this. 272 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,760 He's walking amongst them. It's just. 273 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,200 Said in verse 8. He was walking in the cool of 274 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,120 the garden. And I love this because it says 275 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,480 that they hid. From God. 276 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,680 You know how dumb that is? Like I hear him. 277 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,880 No man. Like come on, you can't hide 278 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,880 behind the tree. Like God could see he's the 279 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,400 creator. Of all of all things, but we 280 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,040 also know that the one thing that sin. 281 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,720 Causes is. Guilt and shame and when guilt 282 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,160 and shame impact. Your life the. 283 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,840 First thing you want to. Go do is hide. 284 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,600 Why do you think people dip out when they're in their sin? 285 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,920 We get in our guilt and our shame and we hide. 286 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,840 You ain't hiding from nobody you're hiding from. 287 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,360 Yourself. God is. 288 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,640 Looking and God knows. And let me tell you something, 289 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,520 when God asks a question, it's not because he wants the answer. 290 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,040 He knows the answer. But he's. 291 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,840 Trying to show them something here and then what ends up 292 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,240 ensuing in verse 12, one of the other outcomes of guilt and 293 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,200 shame and when sin enters. Our life guilt and shame. 294 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,280 Blame. It's everybody. 295 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,840 Else's fault, it's not mine. It's their fault. 296 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,800 They're the. Guilty. 297 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,200 It's because of them. And you start blaming people and 298 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,840 you start pointing fingers at people and you forget like we 299 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,840 have a sinful nature. It's not always. 300 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,240 The person to blame before that happens, you have got to look 301 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,360 internally first. And I'm not negating when people 302 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,240 harm us. I'm negating when we. 303 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,120 Are in our sin. When we are in the wrong and we 304 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,560 don't want to admit. That we have failed miserably 305 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,800 because it's everybody. Else's fault? 306 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,200 And really, that's what sin. Does. 307 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,640 Sin creeps in our life and it. Spills out in that way. 308 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,400 Look. What happens in verse 12? 309 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,160 The man said. I mean God. 310 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,360 Goes to the man first. Responsibility here comes. 311 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,240 The blame game Look. At the man said the man said 312 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,320 God, it was the woman, it was her fault. 313 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,560 The one that you gave me, I didn't choose her. 314 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,600 You took my. Rib, it's your fault. 315 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,400 So man is blaming God, not just the woman. 316 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,960 He's like, it's the one you gave me. 317 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,920 It's like she gave me. Some fruit from the tree. 318 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,240 And I ate it then. God said to the woman. 319 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,960 What? Is this that you have? 320 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,120 Done. And the woman blames. 321 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,040 Who the serpent it was the serpent he. 322 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,120 Deceived me so I ate. Now I love verse 14 and. 15 This 323 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,960 is so crazy. Because God is. 324 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,480 Talking to his creation. But he demands from Satan. 325 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,160 He doesn't give. He doesn't give Satan a. 326 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,720 Chance to talk. Look what? 327 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,640 Happens in verse 14. So he looks at Satan, he goes, 328 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,040 so the Lord God said to the serpent. 329 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,640 Because you have done this. Cursed are you, above all. 330 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,120 Livestock and all wild animals you will crawl on your. 331 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,640 Belly and you will eat. Dust all the days of your life. 332 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,920 Man, what happened? Bam woman. 333 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,320 Why bam Satan? It doesn't matter. 334 00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,640 I mean. Like like he does the whole. 335 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,320 Rock thing like it doesn't. He. 336 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,520 Calls him. Out he's like, it doesn't. 337 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,240 Matter which I want us to see this. 338 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,760 God's authority goes. Beyond Satan, Satan has to. 339 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,119 Apply reply to God. All Satan could do here. 340 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,800 Is be quiet and take. It he doesn't, God does not 341 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,760 allow Satan to speak. He goes right at. 342 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,480 Him and verse 14 is biological when he talks to. 343 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,360 Satan, but I like to say verse 15 is theological. 344 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,840 When he talks to Satan. Because look what he says in 345 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,160 verse. 15 And I want us to pay attention to verse 15 because 346 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,480 this is going to impact verse 20, right? 347 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,400 And he goes. I will. 348 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,120 Put enmity between you and the woman, and between your 349 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:48,520 offspring and hers. He will crush your head. 350 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,800 And you? Will strike his heel because 351 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,080 this is the theological. Outcome of what happened? 352 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,360 What I love about this is that God. 353 00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:00,400 Is not freaking out right now. Sin enters. 354 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,800 The world and what God? 'S pretty much saying goes. 355 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,720 Then like what you messed up, what you did does not impact 356 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,520 what I'm working out. God is like man, I got this 357 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,840 thing and listen. And no matter. 358 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,160 How busy the devil is? He's God's devil. 359 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,040 He has to respond. To the authority and the. 360 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,360 Sovereignty of our God. I love what Martin Luther says 361 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,880 Martin. Luther is called the devil, 362 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,800 God's lap dog, because he has to do. 363 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,280 What the? Lord commands He's only allowed. 364 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,920 To do what? God permits him to do so. 365 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,400 When God speak, speaks. Satan has to stand there and 366 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,880 take it. But we also see. 367 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,000 Here is not just divine judgement. 368 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:49,600 We also see a. Sparing mercy that God is 369 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,840 showing us and he's setting up. He's setting up the gospel. 370 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,560 He's setting up the outcome. We have. 371 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,520 Sinned. We are separated from him and 372 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,800 he's going to show us. How he's going to fix it? 373 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,360 Because he loves us. Now there are some consequences 374 00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:11,800 to our sin, so just. Real quickly, what are the? 375 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,880 Consequences now remember in Genesis 1 and. 376 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,440 Two, God gives the cultural. Mandate now, it does not impact. 377 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,480 It does not impact the promise, the promise that God. 378 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,680 Gave. Adam and Eve is still. 379 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,160 Ongoing. It's just going. 380 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,080 To be a little. Bit more difficult for them now. 381 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,280 Look at verse. 16 To the woman who said I will make your pains 382 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:37,000 in childbearing very severe with painful labor you will give 383 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,720 birth to children your. Desire will be for your. 384 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,320 Husband and he. Will rule over you. 385 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,920 So let's take a quick survey. Ladies does. 386 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,720 It hurt to give birth. I don't know. 387 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,160 I wouldn't. Know, I'm just saying. 388 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,120 Yes, like we see this. This is the. 389 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:56,520 Outcome of the curse. And then to Adam, he said. 390 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,400 Because you listened to your. Wife and ate fruit from the 391 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,000 tree. About which I commanded you so, 392 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,200 Adam, don't get it twisted because you knew. 393 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,560 So don't blame your wife. You must not eat from it. 394 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,360 Curse it is the. Ground because of you, 395 00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:17,080 therefore, though painful toil, you will eat from it all the 396 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,160 days. Of your life. 397 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,000 So Adam is to work the. Ground. 398 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,200 Adam is to work the. Garden, but this time there's 399 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,840 going to be thorns and thistles. Is going to be. 400 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,400 Difficult for him. He's going to have to sweat. 401 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,880 He's going to have to. He's going to have back. 402 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,200 Breaking work that he's going to have to go through. 403 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,480 Look at verse 18 and it will. Produce thorns and thistles for 404 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,280 you and you will. Eat the plants of the field. 405 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,680 By the sweat of your brow, you will eat your. 406 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,360 Food until you return to the ground since. 407 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:52,880 From you were taken for. Dust you are and dust. 408 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,960 You will return it's. Going to be hard Adam guys. 409 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,080 These are all consequences of sin entering the world. 410 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,360 Pretty much what God is saying. Everything that I made perfect, 411 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,200 everything that I made beautiful, everything that I 412 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:14,120 created sin now. Is jacking it up think. 413 00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:15,880 About it like man, God created dancing. 414 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,200 Dancing is awesome, but dancing could also be. 415 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,000 Provocative and disrespectful. We do that with. 416 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,080 Everything food like think about everything. 417 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Everything that is beautiful, everything that is good that God 418 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,960 created now has a twist in it where it could actually become. 419 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,920 Sinful. The whole world has gone awry 420 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,640 like. Everything is messed up now. 421 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,880 So where do we go from here, Sin? 422 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,160 Has entered the world now. What? 423 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,720 What do we do? Well, God's going. 424 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,480 To show us how. Salvation comes into play here. 425 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,520 So what we're going to do the next just couple of minutes? 426 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,240 We're going to look. At what God requires of us. 427 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,440 When it comes to salvation, so. Immediately we look at verse. 20 428 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:07,040 Adam named his wife. Eve because she would. 429 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,000 Become the mother, all living things. 430 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,760 So #1 When we talk about salvation, listen. 431 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:19,800 Salvation requires faith, so God is going to show us a picture 432 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,000 here of. What it looks like to get? 433 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,200 Out of the sin problem that we have. 434 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,920 Salvation requires faith. Like Ricky I, I read. 435 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,640 That Adam named his wife Eve. How in the world? 436 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,600 Is that so? Think. 437 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,280 About this, I mean, I've been studying. 438 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,680 Guys, Eve. 'S name does not come in Genesis 439 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,480 one or two. This is. 440 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,880 The first time we see Eve's name. 441 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,960 So when we call like, well, Adam and Eve, we're in the garden, 442 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,800 yes, but the whole time it was Adam and his wife Adam. 443 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,960 And his. Partner Adam and the woman. 444 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,760 Eve, this is the first. Time we see the name of Eve now 445 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,080 remember. What God said in verse. 15 We 446 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,040 have got to understand verse 15 God. 447 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,880 Is saying. This in front of all of them and 448 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,080 God says I'm going to put enmity between you and the woman and 449 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,120 between your. Seed and his seed. 450 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,800 He's talking about the offspring. 451 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,640 The seed. Of the woman Adam is. 452 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,560 Listening to this guys. There has never been a. 453 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,920 Birth in Scripture? Adam has no idea. 454 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,480 What getting pregnant looks like, Adam has no idea. 455 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,600 What a kid looks like. Adam doesn't know. 456 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,120 What a seed like. All Adam heard God. 457 00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:38,480 Say. Was that there is going to be an 458 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,000 offspring, there's going to be a seed from the woman that's going 459 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,120 to crush the head of the serpent, and Adam has a. 460 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,760 Decision to make, do I? Trust God. 461 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,320 Or do I trust the serpent? Do I? 462 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,160 Trust that God is true. In his word that an offspring is 463 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,280 going to come and. Crush the head of the. 464 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,440 Serpent or do I continue to go on the path that Satan says 465 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,120 saying man does God really? Think he's? 466 00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:07,760 Going to kill us. I want to be like God so. 467 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:13,200 Adam has a decision to make, and when Adam names his. 468 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,360 Wife. Eve. 469 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:17,840 Listen to me, the name Eve means life. 470 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,480 He looks at his wife and says, God I trust. 471 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,480 What you're saying, Eve? Your your name is going. 472 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,560 To be life because. Life is going to stem. 473 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,840 From you, not just life. But the one who's going to? 474 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,400 Crush the head of the. Enemy is going to come from you. 475 00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:37,560 This is where it all. Begins and I am trusting God's 476 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,440 word right now. Listen when Adam named his wife. 477 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,920 Eve. It was a turning point. 478 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,320 Where he turned back to God. Because of his faith, guys, it's 479 00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:51,680 all about faith. It requires faith. 480 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,840 The evidence that he believes in. 481 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,320 God is the name He. Gave his wife Eve. 482 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,200 And lies. This is a. 483 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,400 Faithful. Statement that Adam is 484 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,120 declaring. That God is going to. 485 00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:10,400 Crush Satan and Adam believes. God out of. 486 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:16,160 Eve having life coming from her. You know when you look at 487 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,040 Hebrews 111 one it says now. Faith. 488 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,160 Is confidence and what we hope for and assurance. 489 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,600 Of about what? We do not see. 490 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,800 But we also see Genesis. 15-6 Abraham believed the Lord. 491 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,520 And he credited. To him as. 492 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,880 Righteousness, guys, it is faith. 493 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,440 Faith is required for salvation. It is. 494 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,160 You putting your. Faith in Jesus Christ. 495 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,880 That will lead you to. Salvation, it's not about your. 496 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,880 Works. It's not about how much. 497 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,520 You go to church. It's all. 498 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,680 About putting your faith and trust and putting complete faith 499 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:57,880 in. Christ means. 500 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,920 A complete surrendering of your. Life to him. 501 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,200 Guys, there's no other way. Jesus says John. 14-6 I am the 502 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,960 way and the truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father 503 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,600 except through me. We even see this in Ephesians. 504 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,360 Two, it is for by faith you are saved. 505 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,240 Through grace, not of your work so. 506 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,760 That may any man could boast so my question to. 507 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,840 You that you think? Like man, I'm good with. 508 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,400 God, do you have? Faith in Christ. 509 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,960 Jesus Christ is the only. Way to it? 510 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,440 And what we see here is that God is. 511 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:35,680 Creating a blueprint for Jesus as Jesus comes and takes the 512 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,360 salvation. Of all sins, so salvation 513 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:46,240 requires faith so that. Means that man's response must 514 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,920 be acknowledgement and putting a. 515 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,280 Faith in Christ. Putting a faith in God. 516 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,080 Through Christ, what else do we see? 517 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,960 So. Adam named his wife Eve because 518 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,120 she would become the mother of all living things. 519 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,440 The seed is going to come from. Eve to crush the serpent. 520 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,000 Adam is trusting God and we know that. 521 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,280 He has faith because of what? He named his wife. 522 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,200 Which is Eve. That's how we see it. 523 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,560 But then something else. Salvation. 524 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,760 Requires is atonement. Salvation requires. 525 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:26,040 Atonement, which is number 2. So we have man's response, but 526 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,520 now? God is going to give. 527 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,400 A provision for us. So yes, you have faith. 528 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,080 Awesome. The problem is. 529 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,080 You're still a sinful person, so yeah, you have faith. 530 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,800 That's great, come on in now I have to atone your sins. 531 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,560 How do we see atonement man? Look at verse 21. 532 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,600 Look what happens the Lord made garments of skin for. 533 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,000 Adam and his wife and. Clothe them. 534 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,680 You know what's interesting is when I see this, it doesn't say 535 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,960 that. Adam or that God took. 536 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,360 Sheep took the wool of the sheep. 537 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,040 Made some fruit of the loom and gave him some. 538 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,880 Clothes doesn't talk about that. God did not put. 539 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,680 Some leaves. Together God does not use. 540 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,560 The bark of the tree. What does God use to clothe? 541 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,600 Adam and Eve animal skins. In order. 542 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,800 For there to be animal skins, that means that animals had to 543 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,600 die. Guys, this is the. 544 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,320 First death in Scripture. So what do we see? 545 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,400 Here? We see. 546 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:36,760 Guilty individuals who messed up in God having to kill an 547 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:43,480 innocent animal to cover them. Guys, this is a foreshadowing. 548 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,000 Of Christ. And that's what atonement is. 549 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,600 Atonement is taking the sacrifice. 550 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,600 Of an innocent victim in. Order to cover the guilty. 551 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,760 And. This started here as a. 552 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,240 Symbolic. Way to show what, Jesus? 553 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,760 Does on the cross. For the. 554 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,600 Gospel and God continues this. Right, like. 555 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,200 God took the skin, but also pay attention. 556 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,440 Look, God chose the animal. Adam did not choose. 557 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,680 Eve did not choose. God chose the animal. 558 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,760 God killed the animal and God. Took the. 559 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,840 Skin of the animal to cover the sin. 560 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:34,640 Of the guilty, God chooses the sacrifice, because God is the. 561 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:40,480 One who knows what payment is acceptable for the rebellion of 562 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,960 his creation. God chose the sacrifice if. 563 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,480 You don't remember anything from today. 564 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,640 I want you to understand. This God chooses the sacrifice. 565 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,960 And Jesus is the Lamb, slain by God before the foundations of 566 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,840 the. World God chose Christ for God 567 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,040 so loved the world. That he sent. 568 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,080 Jesus to come down so whoever believes in him, who has faith 569 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,360 in him, will not. Perish, but have. 570 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,200 Eternal life with Him. Guys, God chooses the sacrifice. 571 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:18,440 And God chose as as. The substitute for the guilty. 572 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,240 We see this all through. Scripture, man, we even. 573 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,000 See it in the next. Chapter like Genesis chapter 4. 574 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,160 Cain and Abel. Cain brings a sacrifice that God 575 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,120 did not see. Satisfactory. 576 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,200 God did not choose it, and he did not say. 577 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,000 That's good. But Abel brought a sacrifice 578 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,240 that was. Pleasing to the Lord. 579 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,320 Cain gets mad. And what does Cain do? 580 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,640 Cain kills. His brother Abel, but we. 581 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,640 See this whole innocent? Life for a guilty. 582 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,360 With animals all. Through. 583 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,240 The Old Testament genesis chapter 8 no one makes animal. 584 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,960 Sacrifices Exodus 22 I'm. 20 and 22 those. 585 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,480 Chapters. Moses. 586 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,400 Talks about making these sacrifices. 587 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,120 Job 15 Job offers. Animal. 588 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,280 Sacrifices to God listen to. Dead animals offered to God is 589 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,960 in. Place of the guilty. 590 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,560 Sinner, this is something that God institutes. 591 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,760 But sacrifices. Don't mean anything if the heart 592 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,640 behind it is not correct. Because Isaiah also says that 593 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,760 your sacrifices are like filthy rags to me guys. 594 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,240 This whole sacrificial system that God isn't. 595 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,920 Putting in place is a metaphor. And it's pointing one big fat 596 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,440 sign to Jesus Christ. So all through the old. 597 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,800 Testament he's implementing. The sacrificial systems to show 598 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,320 the seriousness and the severity. 599 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,320 Sin and God. Chooses God, gives 600 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,440 specifications. To the animals that must be. 601 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,440 Used not just to take the. Sacrifice of the. 602 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,400 Sin, but also to be. In his presence and how do we 603 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,680 see this man even Genesis chapter 22. 604 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,480 When Isaac. Is about to get sacrificed. 605 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:07,840 Who provides the sacrifice? God as the RAM shows up to 606 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,920 Abraham. Guys God is the one. 607 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,160 Even the Hebrew word atonement means is Kapoor the word 608 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,840 atonement or the word Kapoor? Means to repay a debt. 609 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,640 And to purify. So when you look at like. 610 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,400 These levitical sacrificial. Systems in the Old Testament, 611 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,200 it's not just simply get an animal. 612 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,920 God has very, very. Specified instructions to what 613 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,360 animals? Need to be used. 614 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,800 In order to right the. Wrong in order for atonement to 615 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,600 work. And then God was always on. 616 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,400 Israel, because Israel would always get the sacrificial. 617 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,520 Systems wrong and the problem. Is is that? 618 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,320 When correcting a wrong When correcting a wrong being covered 619 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,840 in. With sin. 620 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,040 It's like. Israel is re entering a a broken 621 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,280 relationship. With Yahweh in a. 622 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,280 Posture of humility and surrender so when the sacrifice 623 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,440 don't meet the expectations of the Creator. 624 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,480 That relationship is still severed. 625 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,720 In God's eyes. This is a lot of. 626 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,160 Work. So God will require. 627 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,680 Different animals for different sacrifices. 628 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,000 In fact, the sin bearing animals were actually sent away. 629 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,400 Where the? Priests would put the sins of 630 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,080 their people on a goat and then send the goat out. 631 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,080 That's. Where we get the whole. 632 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,680 Term scapegoat from but. If you're going to enter. 633 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,720 Into God's presence and. Ask. 634 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,440 For the Lord, for the forgiveness of sin, the 635 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,840 sacrifice. Must have no blemish in it. 636 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,480 The priests would look at the sacrifice. 637 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,520 And they would examine it. There could not be any. 638 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,520 Issues. They had to be perfect. 639 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,120 In order for God. To accept. 640 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,720 It on Israel's behalf, so sacrifices are important. 641 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,120 I want to read something. Real quickly Hebrews chapter 10 642 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,679 if you have your. Bibles, Hebrews 10 and. 643 00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:11,920 Why is it so important to us to understand? 644 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,760 If God chooses the sacrifice, if God gives the. 645 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,880 Stipulation for the sacrifices of. 646 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:25,239 Sin and what pleases him, and for atonement that means that. 647 00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:31,520 Your sacrifice doesn't really fit his law. 648 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,159 So then why do we? Think what we sacrifice. 649 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:41,080 Is going to please God. What does it say in Hebrews 10? 650 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,760 And look at verses 15 actually. You know what? 651 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,360 Let's start on 11 Hebrews 10/11. Day after day, every priest. 652 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,320 Stands and performs. His religious duties. 653 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,760 Again and again, he. Offers the same sacrifices which 654 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,640 can never take away sins. But when this priest had offered 655 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,640 for all time 1 sacrifice for sins. 656 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,560 He. Sat down at the right hand of 657 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,040 God, and since that time he waits for his enemies to be. 658 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,360 Made his footstool for by. One sacrifice he made. 659 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:21,520 Perfect forever, those who are. Being made holy the. 660 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,600 Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. 661 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,680 First he says this is the. Covenant I will make with them 662 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,880 after that time, says the Lord. But I will put my laws in their 663 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,640 heart, and I will write them on their minds. 664 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,040 Then he adds their. Sins and lawless acts I will 665 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,600 remember no more. And where these have been 666 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,080 forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary. 667 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,320 You see so. What God is telling us. 668 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,120 Is that he chooses the sacrifice. 669 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,840 Now I know a lot. Of us. 670 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,240 Go through Lent and a lot of us have that mentality like, I'm 671 00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:00,840 going to surrender, I'm going to. 672 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,000 Sacrifice things for a little. While and I think that's. 673 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:05,720 A good. Reset. 674 00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:08,400 I mean that could. Be a good way to create habits. 675 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,440 It's a great way for us to shift. 676 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,960 Our focus. But if you think that your 677 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,800 sacrifice. Is going to suffice atonement 678 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,000 for God? You don't get to choose if I 679 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,440 think just because I gave up. Doctor Pepper, God's going to be 680 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,280 happy with me. I don't get to. 681 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,280 Choose. So what God chooses is that the 682 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,080 sacrifice has to be perfect. It has to be innocent, it has to 683 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,520 be blameless and what we see in Hebrews 10. 684 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,040 Is that the son of? God. 685 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,200 Who's Jesus Christ came down? And gave the. 686 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,280 Ultimate sacrifice like this is it. 687 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,080 There's no more. No more sacrifices are needed 688 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,440 once and for all. Jesus came and I think many. 689 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,600 Of us need to start. Giving up, giving things up. 690 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,000 And we need to get into. This whole idea like Jesus. 691 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,160 Died for me once and for all. I am. 692 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,480 Forever forgiven and forever saved. 693 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,320 Everything else is icing on the. Cake so Jesus shows. 694 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,760 Us that we need atonement. For our sin, so we. 695 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,360 See that we need. Faith. 696 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,640 Salvation requires faith. Salvation also requires 697 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,920 atonement. And then the last thing we'll 698 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,280 talk. About and then we'll be done. 699 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,960 Is that? Salvation also brings 700 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,480 protection, so. Once I have put my trust in 701 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,000 Christ, once I have acknowledged. 702 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,200 His sacrifice for my sins and I have repented. 703 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,520 Of my sins because I'm. Covered by the. 704 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,000 Best sacrifice? I'm covered. 705 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,720 By the blood of Christ. God now protects us. 706 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,360 How does he protect us? Look at. 707 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,160 Verse 23. And then we'll be done. 708 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,840 Actually, verse 22. After he drove. 709 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,920 Out man he placed on the east. Side of the Garden of. 710 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,680 Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and. 711 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,520 Forth to guard the way to the tree of life. 712 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,560 Man, some of us read that and we're like, man, Ricky, like 713 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,400 that kind of stinks, like they can't have the tree of life 714 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,760 anymore and what we. See as an obstacle What? 715 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,680 We see as God. Blocking us from something. 716 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,600 Is actually God's grace. Protecting us from something 717 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,840 because in that garden. Is also the tree. 718 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,600 Of knowledge of good and evil. And what God? 719 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,840 Is saying is like you. Can't go. 720 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,240 Back to the tree of. Life. 721 00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:37,720 And try to live forever. Because sin has now entered the 722 00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:39,920 world. So even if you. 723 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,920 Were to go back and eat from that tree, it's not going to go. 724 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,000 Well, for you. So what I'm going to do is I'm 725 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,360 going to set up. I'm I'm kicking you guys out, 726 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,440 I'm moving you guys out and I'm going to put. 2 cherubim and I'm 727 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,080 going to put. A sword right there. 728 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,800 In the East. So what is he telling Adam and 729 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,960 Eve? He's like I'm covering you. 730 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,520 Guys, because here. I'm I'm you're going to work. 731 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,560 Yes, Sin entered the world, but I'm making a way. 732 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:10,400 For you, because over there is what caused you to. 733 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:15,400 Sin over there is not life that's going to help. 734 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,160 You. Thrive over there is what's. 735 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,120 Hurtful, so I'm going to. Block that way. 736 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,880 Where the cherubim? Represent when we look at 737 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,480 Scripture and. Exodus. 738 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,520 The cherubim are placed at the, the at the. 739 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,160 Ark of the. Covenant, one on each side. 740 00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:32,360 We call that the mercy seat. We talked about this on. 741 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,280 Easter, but also in First Kings chapter 6 the cherubim are 742 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,280 carved. Into the walls of the temple and 743 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,000 placed in the innermost room, symbolizing the presence of God. 744 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,560 So what is God telling them? Watch this. 745 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,440 My presence now is going to. Protect. 746 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,320 You from the things that are trying to harm you. 747 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,880 So because we have a. Salvation because we have 748 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,720 atonement. We also have his protection. 749 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,360 Towards sin and listen to me, many of us see. 750 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,720 This whole idea of like. Man. 751 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,480 God. Doesn't want me to have fun. 752 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,720 God doesn't want me to live. Life God doesn't. 753 00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,640 Want me to turn up? And guys like, no, I'm 754 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,080 protecting you because I love. You. 755 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,400 Like I want you to thrive. I have so much better for your 756 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,840 life. So man, I need. 757 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,120 You not to do these. Things because I know what's on 758 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,040 that side. And then he pulls him to the. 759 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,200 Garden of the East. Why did he say East? 760 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,480 Because the. Sunsets in the East Adam and Eve 761 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,680 Adam lived the Bible says he lived about 900 years so. 762 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,880 He did live a. Fruitful life, but sin. 763 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,360 Caused them not to live forever, and as they're working the land 764 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,080 every single day, that that sunsets is almost like a 765 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:50,720 reminder. Of what happened so as Adam. 766 00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:52,240 And Eve are looking at the sunset. 767 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,080 They're probably thinking like man. 768 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:59,200 That's we could have had that. But I think otherwise. 769 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,440 I think every time they saw the. Sunset. 770 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,240 It was a reminder. Of God's grace on their life. 771 00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:06,920 That they're still alive. Because they should have been 772 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,360 dead. You eat up this tree, you will 773 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,880 surely die. So what we see here? 774 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,440 God's grace. God's sin is an issue. 775 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,920 Sin is not to be. Played with We got to take sin 776 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,200 seriously. The only way that works. 777 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,360 Is when you put your trust in. Jesus because he is. 778 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,120 The only one that could atone for your sins. 779 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,840 His sacrifice is the only. One that could take it and then 780 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,440 through the holy. Spirit which He walks with us, 781 00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:32,320 He begins. To protect us and shield us and 782 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,160 guide us. Through life, keeping us away 783 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,960 from the things that are going to hurt us and the way from the 784 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,640 things that are going to separate us from Him. 785 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,400 It's protection. It's grace. 786 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,600 God's grace. Pray for us. 787 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,680 Listen, just the same way that Adam and Eve. 788 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,160 Hid from their. From their guilt and shame 789 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,400 behind a tree, God is calling us to a different. 790 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,160 Tree that put a savior to the cross. 791 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,480 That hung the savior. Run to that tree. 792 00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:06,840 Hide in that shadow. And you will find not guilt and 793 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,520 shame, but you'll find grace and mercy there.
