1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,000
I would, first of all, I would 
say tonight. 

2
00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:10,400
Thank you for being here. 
This is an awesome crowd and I 

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,600
Know It Takes a great effort for
you to come after a hot day busy

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,400
day at work, mother's at home 
with kids, for have shall 

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,400
whatever you've engaged in 
throughout the day. 

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,900
I know that's a challenge but 
you show a great interest in 

7
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:30,700
your spiritual life by being 
here. 

8
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:35,000
You showed great interest in 
your home congregation by 

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,500
assembling Here, this crowd is 
really amazing to me. 

10
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:43,100
I'm very thankful, I'm very 
proud of you and I pray that our

11
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:47,200
lesson will be of encouragement 
to you and will teach a few 

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,000
things. 
And at least remind you of 

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
things you've already been 
taught and that's most likely 

14
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:57,100
the category it will fit in. 
I would like to say that I've 

15
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:00,600
appreciated the prayers that 
every service, I did not mention

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,700
that last night and I 
appreciated the prayer last 

17
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:05,500
night, and I brought the door 
leather one Sunday morning. 

18
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,800
Brother Frank tonight and 
listen, you've got a 

19
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:16,500
Congregation of much talent if I
could live and I could preach 

20
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,500
like he can pray brother Frank, 
then I would feel like I've kind

21
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,300
of changed some things and 
accomplish something that I 

22
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:27,600
really appreciate brother Frank 
and the prayer that he prayed 

23
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,200
tonight was wonderful. 
The song selection, I love every

24
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,100
song. 
That is just wonderful. 

25
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:35,300
You know we're having a gospel 
meeting. 

26
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:39,500
I like to call it Revival 
because the gospel meeting that 

27
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,300
revives of people that 
encourages us, all I would 

28
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:46,100
assure you. 
I am encouraged by you. 

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,500
I promise you, I am encouraged 
by you. 

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600
I don't tell every place that 
because I'm not encouraged 

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,900
everywhere I go but I'm 
encouraged by all of you and 

32
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:59,400
thank you so much for your 
attendance and your interest. 

33
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:02,800
I noticed I noticed several of 
you are writing, what is on the 

34
00:02:02,808 --> 00:02:05,500
board before we ever started 
Services now? 

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,300
And that will help because they 
will help you be able to follow 

36
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:13,400
more and and fill in some gaps 
along the way as we make points 

37
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,200
throughout our lesson. 
So I feel very blessed to be 

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,600
here and I hope you today. 
Phil as blessed to be a member 

39
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,200
of the plans, Road, congregation
and Bakersfield, California, as 

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,400
we all should is a beautiful. 
Building is great Christians. 

41
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,100
Everybody is happy that are 
hugging each other's neck there,

42
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:38,300
shaking it Each other's hand, 
they're smiling each other and 

43
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:42,500
it just a great joy. 
May God bless each and every one

44
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:49,000
of you in your service to God 
almighty As you see on the 

45
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,400
board, today, we're going to 
preach about faith without works

46
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,900
is dead. 
To get me warmed up for this 

47
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:03,800
lesson today. 
I said and listen to a guy teach

48
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,800
just opposite of what I'm going 
to teach today. 

49
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,200
I went on YouTube and listen to 
a guy. 

50
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,900
I preached a sermon today about 
salvation by faith only and he 

51
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:18,400
just ran all over. 
So many verses of scripture that

52
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:22,500
he kind of gets me revved up and
ready to roll because I want to 

53
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:26,600
defend the truth and I want you 
to be able to do that. 

54
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:32,100
I promise you today in order to 
Be an Effective personal worker 

55
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:36,900
for the Lord, in order to 
convert people to Christ, not 

56
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:43,200
every time, but many time, maybe
most time you need to be able to

57
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,200
explain these passages James 
2:14 through 26. 

58
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,700
It is so important. 
The title of the lesson is faith

59
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:58,300
without works, is dead. 
You receive that and Verse 17 

60
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:03,600
verse 20 and verse 26. 
Now in James's, second chapter. 

61
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,900
And that's where you can turn if
you want to in your Bible. 

62
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,400
That's what we're going to spend
ninety five, ninety nine percent

63
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,000
of our time tonight. 
As we conclude our lesson, I'm 

64
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,700
going to bring a couple of 
passages in the Lord willing 

65
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:22,200
from The Book of Revelation, but
James chapter to the Book of 

66
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,900
James is written by James. 
The brother of Jesus. 

67
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:31,500
Christ. 
That automatically makes is perk

68
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:36,200
up and think about we are 
reading a book that brother of 

69
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,500
Jesus Christ wrote and the 
message. 

70
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:42,800
He's right in here. 
He's doing so in a very positive

71
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,500
way. 
Now if your Bible has 

72
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:51,100
subheadings or even at the very 
top of the page, it very likely 

73
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:54,500
was safe. 
Faith without works is dead. 

74
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,100
Now yours may not but mine does 
here and this one does As in 

75
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:03,500
your Pew Bible and others that I
have looked at, that's what they

76
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,000
say. 
So it's very common, whether 

77
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,700
your version said, the knob, 
right, a of faith without works 

78
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:12,700
is dead. 
This is very, very important. 

79
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:15,900
And by the way, this would be 
probably one of the shortest 

80
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:20,000
lessons that I preach. 
So your night tonight is not. 

81
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,900
I'm not I may be through before 
8:30, I may surprise you all. 

82
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,300
I may want to grab those minutes
later on during the week and use

83
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:29,200
them then, but tonight. 
Right. 

84
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,500
This is basically a 30-minute 
lesson. 

85
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,700
We're going to focus in on this 
important. 

86
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:41,300
Truth, to help you help others 
to be saved, to help you to 

87
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,300
understand. 
And please, if I do not explain 

88
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:48,800
something to your satisfaction 
to your understanding, if I 

89
00:05:48,808 --> 00:05:53,100
leave any room for question, 
please ask me I want to talk 

90
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:55,800
with you about that. 
I'll be glad to listen to what 

91
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,100
you say because I can learn from
you. 

92
00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:01,500
As I hope you can learn from me.
And together we can help each 

93
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:04,000
other. 
In our spiritual journey and 

94
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,100
James the second chapter. 
I would. 

95
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:10,500
First of all, like, to read 
verse 17, 20, and 26. 

96
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,300
Now, remember we're looking at 
the one contest verses 14 

97
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:19,800
through. 26, verse 17, even so 
faith. 

98
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:23,200
If it has not works is dead 
being alone. 

99
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,700
Verse 20 but we'll go. 
I know o vain man. 

100
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,400
That faith without works is 
dead. 

101
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,200
Verse 26 for as the body. 
Without the spirit is dead. 

102
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:42,600
Even so faith without works is 
dead also, you know what I could

103
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,700
do? 
I could go sit down now say I'm 

104
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:46,800
through. 
I've already read it to you 

105
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,000
three times. 
And one segment of scripture 

106
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,500
that faith without works is 
dead. 

107
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,400
Now, in order to understand this
particular segment of scripture,

108
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:01,500
there's a lot of history that I 
love to give, but today, I don't

109
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:05,200
plan to focus. 
In on that I planted a to focus 

110
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,200
in on simply book chapter verse 
on what is talk. 

111
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,300
I don't plan to talk about how 
people have abused this. 

112
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:17,500
I may mention a couple of points
along the way, but I basically 

113
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:20,900
am going to talk with you about 
what these verses teach. 

114
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:25,300
James is laying forth, the 
proposition faith without works 

115
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:29,500
is dead and James 2:14 through 
26. 

116
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,400
He's going to explain that and 
here's how He's going to do it, 

117
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,200
he's going to ask seven 
questions and these passages. 

118
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,900
He's going to give five 
illustrations and this passage. 

119
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:49,200
So therefore, And these 13 
verses of scripture count. 

120
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,600
In verse 14, kind of verse 26, 
you have your 13 verses with 

121
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,000
these seven questions. 
And these five illustration is a

122
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,400
pretty unique presentation. 
He is defending a proposition 

123
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,600
that you have to have faith, but
your faith need me. 

124
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,200
Put into action words. 
Deeds conduct a needs to have 

125
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,900
works. 
To show your faith. 

126
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:22,400
Now, I'm going to read these 
verses, by the way, they seven 

127
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,500
question. 
I haven't number one through 

128
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,800
seven, they'd assembly where you
find each of the seven 

129
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,800
questions. 
So, in your Bible, if you have 

130
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,700
your personal Bible here, you 
might and if you right in your 

131
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:38,700
Bible, you might underlie, the 
questions are highlighted, 

132
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:42,299
however, you like to do. 
And you might do the same with 

133
00:08:42,299 --> 00:08:46,100
the illustration because many 
people that you talk to 

134
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:48,500
Religious world, they're good 
people. 

135
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,900
They're nice people. 
They have been misled because 

136
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:56,200
they've been taught wrong. 
You can show forth the word of 

137
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,700
God that faith is important. 
Works is important, and faith 

138
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:04,900
without works is dead. 
I want to tell you today, 

139
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:10,800
there's zero tolerance for 
Faith, only zero tolerance for 

140
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,100
that. 
There are many verses of 

141
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:16,600
scripture and that's one of the 
gentlemen did today on YouTube 

142
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,800
that I was watching him. 
He gave verse after verse after 

143
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,700
verse and said you saved by 
faith. 

144
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:24,700
You're saved by faith. 
What sure there are many verses 

145
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:27,700
teacher Saved By Faith, but not 
a one of them said Faith. 

146
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:33,400
Only knots, one single one. 
The only time Faith, only a 

147
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,200
would be right here in our text 
when it says not by faith only 

148
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,600
so it doesn't take a rocket 
scientist to really understand 

149
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,900
that. 
And another zero tolerance is to

150
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:50,900
hear people say Works has 
nothing whatever to do with your

151
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:55,000
salvation Works. 
Has nothing to do with your 

152
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,800
salvation that is dead wrong. 
And I can remember all through 

153
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,700
my years of preaching, a variety
of people saying that men and 

154
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:09,100
women young and old and the 
religious discussion on and on 

155
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:11,600
that words has nothing to do 
with it. 

156
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,600
And people have tried to modify 
it to twister to turn it and it 

157
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,000
said differently. 
But the bottom line. 

158
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:23,200
Anytime anybody says faith only 
is all you need your worst. 

159
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,000
Do not matter. 
That person is, maybe honestly 

160
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,100
misled, but misled Said, you 
need to know these verses and 

161
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:37,400
I've outlined this in a way that
helped me to understand it. 

162
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,300
I use this very outline numerous
of times and bible studies with 

163
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:44,900
people. 
And once people can see the 

164
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:50,900
truth of James 2:14 through 26, 
then they understand. 

165
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,100
I've got to do something. 
What I do does matter, can you 

166
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,600
imagine being tall, what you do?
Doesn't matter your work? 

167
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,000
Doesn't matter. 
And that's just amazing to me 

168
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,200
that anybody would think Jesus 
came and died at Calvary and 

169
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,800
nothing. 
You do that matters. 

170
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:12,200
That is ridiculous. 
James hit it head-on. 

171
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:17,400
And here it comes, the brother 
of Our Lord writes, these words,

172
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,400
we begin. 
Now a verse 14, will you please 

173
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,300
notice? 
This is question. 

174
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:25,900
Number one, and question number 
2 and verse 14 right off the 

175
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:27,800
bat. 
I mean, he didn't warm up. 

176
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:31,100
He just now Heard it right tight
and verse 14. 

177
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Why does it profit my brethren 
though? 

178
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,300
A man may say he has faith and 
have not worked. 

179
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,400
Can Faith, save him. 
You've got to question right 

180
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,100
here. 
He's at first of all, what does 

181
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:48,500
it profit? 
You're going to see that again 

182
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,700
throughout this right, adhesive?
What does it profit? 

183
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,100
If you have faith, you don't 
have Works. 

184
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,300
He said, can that kind of Faith 
save you? 

185
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,100
That's a good question. 
Can Faith save? 

186
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:06,000
You can that kind of faith faith
that works by itself and no 

187
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,400
words. 
Can that Faith save you? 

188
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,700
James is driving the point home 
immediately. 

189
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,000
Drawing everybody's attention to
his writing that kind of faith 

190
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,400
will not do anything for you. 
It will not save you. 

191
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:24,400
He said can Faith. 
That is that kind of faith 

192
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:25,800
faith? 
That has no words. 

193
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:30,000
Can not Faith to save you. 
Look at verse 15, please. 

194
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:35,500
If a brother or sister, be naked
and destitute of daily food. 

195
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:39,900
And one of you say unto them, 
Them depart in peace, be warmed 

196
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:45,300
and filled notwithstanding, you 
shouldn't you give them not 

197
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:47,300
those things that are needed for
the body. 

198
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,100
Here's the third question and 
this is your first illustration,

199
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:54,900
What doth it profit. 
Notice what he said here, what 

200
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:58,700
does it profit and verse 16? 
This is your case of 

201
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:01,700
benevolence. 
Somebody comes up to you a 

202
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:06,800
brother or sister That is in 
Christ, a fellow Christian comes

203
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:12,500
up to you and they tell you 
they're destitute of daily food.

204
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:15,800
And you say, I hope you have a 
great day. 

205
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:18,700
We'll see you later and you can 
walk away. 

206
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,400
Your faith has not been put into
practice a brother or sister 

207
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,000
needed you. 
They needed your help. 

208
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:30,100
He said for brother or sister 
comes to you and they're 

209
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:33,400
destitute of daily food and you 
know, more or less wish them 

210
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,800
well and you do nothing to ease 
their moment of this discomfort 

211
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,900
and their difficulty that is 
wrong. 

212
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:43,500
That's illustration. 
He gave, you know what? 

213
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:46,900
I can relate to that, you can 
relate to that there have been 

214
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:50,400
times perhaps in your life. 
You've needed somebody to help 

215
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,700
you or you've helped somebody 
who needed your help. 

216
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:58,500
And it's a we help each other 
today, I want to help you 

217
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,100
tomorrow. 
I may need your help for you to 

218
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:04,300
lift me up. 
What does it what we're dealing 

219
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:06,900
with here? 
This case of the Netherlands and

220
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:10,100
verse 15. 
And as he illustrates his 

221
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:14,100
question and verse 16, he drives
his point home. 

222
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,700
He said, I don't know what is it
profit for you to say? 

223
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:19,400
Well, I hope the best for you 
and you just walk away and do 

224
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,900
nothing. 
There are some very serious 

225
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:25,900
problem with that type of 
Christianity. 

226
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,800
The fact of the matter is there 
the lack of spirituality of your

227
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,300
Christianity. 
If we act this way whenever I 

228
00:14:34,308 --> 00:14:37,700
say you, by the way, it's in me.
It's me, it's me. 

229
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:42,100
And you both, it's all of us. 
We working together to learn. 

230
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:45,700
God's will to learn God's way. 
All right. 

231
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:50,900
Miss stay on was over 17. 
Even so faith, if it has not 

232
00:14:50,900 --> 00:14:52,700
worked, This is dead being 
alone. 

233
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:58,700
Listen verse 17 is so powerful. 
That's what James is driving at 

234
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:04,700
and all 13 of these verses. 
He said I want you to know faith

235
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:07,900
without works is dead. 
That is what he's preaching, 

236
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:10,700
that's why he's promoting he 
laid that out. 

237
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:15,700
Her 17 verse 20 and verse 26. 
He gave you last, raishin, he 

238
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:18,600
gave question. 
So everybody would know. 

239
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,800
When you put say, I've got faith
in, you don't do, show your 

240
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,400
words that Faith to of the. 
Do you any good? 

241
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,800
That's why I keep saying. 
Why does it profit? 

242
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:33,600
What does it gain, you? 
What are you accomplishing? 

243
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,900
Okay, here it is. 
Everybody I've got faith. 

244
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:45,500
Is that convincing? 
I got faith? 

245
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,500
You don't say anything. 
Don't do anything. 

246
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:53,000
I got it. 
You know, faith without works is

247
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,600
dead James, you exactly what he 
said. 

248
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,500
So therefore you understand, we 
need to put our faith into 

249
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:04,200
action. 
We will help ourselves 

250
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,100
spiritually will have the one 
we're reaching out to will help 

251
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:10,600
her home. 
Congregation have a brighter 

252
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,400
light before this community. 
We're showing people what 

253
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:19,400
Christianity is all about. 
Putting your faith into 

254
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,500
practice. 
Stay with me, please. 

255
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,700
Let's look at Verse 18. 
Yay! 

256
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:28,900
A man may say thou Hast faith, I
have worked show. 

257
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:33,100
Me, thy faith, without thy 
words, I'll show them my faith 

258
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,500
by my works, I want to pause, 
there he is. 

259
00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:39,300
Driving this home in a very 
unique way. 

260
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,900
He's an okay, you got faith. 
I've got faith. 

261
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:43,900
You show me your faith without 
your works. 

262
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,900
I show you my faith by my works.
He's driving to this point. 

263
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:51,900
Holman I could have easily put 
diverse right here too. 

264
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:57,100
What he's doing here is showing 
the importance of both faith and

265
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:00,100
works know if no hands and no 
box. 

266
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:04,400
This is wonderful than teaching 
were receiving right here from 

267
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,300
word of God, verse 19. 
This is another case of the 

268
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:12,000
illustration of the devil right 
here, verse 19. 

269
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,800
Now I believe there is one God 
thou doest. 

270
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:22,000
Well, the devil also believed 
and trembled The devil also, 

271
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,400
believe and tremble. 
If you're saved by faith, One of

272
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,200
the devil saved. 
He had faith. 

273
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:35,400
James said the devil also 
believed in tremble. 

274
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,300
You know, really. 
You can read that verse and say,

275
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:44,800
okay, case and point proven, 
James show that to be a very 

276
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:48,300
valuable case. 
It is also interesting to watch,

277
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:52,400
people read these verses and try
to break them apart and say, 

278
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,100
Really, they don't mean what 
they say that. 

279
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:58,600
Preach, I listen to on YouTube 
this afternoon, as I listened to

280
00:17:58,608 --> 00:18:00,200
him. 
As if this is going to be 

281
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,400
interesting, what's he going to 
say about that? 

282
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,500
He did. 
I know what it says but it 

283
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:09,100
doesn't mean what it says. 
I thought, excuse me. 

284
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,100
Am I going to believe you 
tonight? 

285
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:16,500
I don't even know where my going
to leave the word of God for 

286
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:19,400
what it really says, and what it
really means. 

287
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:22,000
I promise you. 
One thing, the Bible says what 

288
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,800
it means, and means what it 
says, and the Bible didn't 

289
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,000
inspired book of God. 
God Almighty, he looks at the 

290
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,100
word of God, he inspired the 
word of God. 

291
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:35,100
It means what it says. 
Okay. 

292
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,400
Well let's read on now. 
Let's take a look at verse 20 

293
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:41,500
but with I know o vain man. 
Here comes another question by 

294
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,000
the way. 
It's question number four but 

295
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,800
we'll do. 
I know o vain man? 

296
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:48,900
That faith without works is 
dead. 

297
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,700
I don't want to be repetitious 
in this lesson but we are 

298
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:56,400
driving the prove the 
proposition that the writer 

299
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,600
James had in mind. 
And in verse 20 he said it 

300
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,100
again, faith without works is 
dead. 

301
00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:06,200
Said, you know, today we are not
first greater than there. 

302
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,200
Might be some virtue phrases 
here but by enlarge none of us 

303
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,000
have heard screams. 
Okay, we can understand what 

304
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,200
this first means and all these 
other verses they are wonderful 

305
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,000
passages and we can help save 
people's Souls by knowing how to

306
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,800
explain this. 
This has been very helpful to me

307
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:30,400
and studying the Bible with 
people when they have a 

308
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,100
background of denominationalism,
they've had the background of 

309
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:38,600
salvation by faith alone. 
They've had the background of 

310
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,600
your them. 
No matter what you do it doesn't

311
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,800
matter. 
And only known these verses 

312
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,100
right here. 
Have helped. 

313
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:48,100
They've helped tremendously. 
Okay, let's continue. 

314
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:52,500
I mean, James is on a roll here 
and here he goes again and verse

315
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:56,200
21. 
What Not Abraham, Our Father 

316
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,900
justified by works when he 
offered his son Isaac upon the 

317
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:02,300
altar. 
That's question. 

318
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:05,300
Number 5. 
Question number six in the next 

319
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:09,500
verse, see the end how Faith 
wrought with his works and by 

320
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:13,900
works and Faith made perfect. 
Now take a look at that, he 

321
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:19,300
reaches back to an illustration 
of Abraham that great story. 

322
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,800
And at this part of the lesson, 
you know, I'm always tempted, 

323
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,000
run back and tell you the The 
whole story of Abraham and Isaac

324
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,500
but you know what, I don't do 
that. 

325
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:33,000
I love the story of Abraham and 
Isaac, I studied it just last 

326
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,100
week before coming here and 
getting ready for this meeting 

327
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:40,200
but you know what? 
James didn't, he didn't go back 

328
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,200
and rehash whole story. 
These people knew about Abraham 

329
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,500
and Isaac and I know most of you
know about Abraham and Isaac 

330
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:48,500
maybe every one of you know 
about it. 

331
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:54,600
But God told Abraham to offer 
up, Isaac his son that was very 

332
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,000
difficult and trying time that a
lot of interesting moments here 

333
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:04,100
are unfolded but what James did 
he use that illustration of 

334
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:06,900
Abraham? 
Been told offer up his son, 

335
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:11,600
Isaac. 
As foot in faith into action. 

336
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,900
God told Abraham. 
What to do, Abraham, didn't 

337
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:21,300
understand all about it but what
he did do is exactly what the 

338
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:25,400
father said to do. 
Oh, and B2B hard, it'd be 

339
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,900
terrible to be put in that 
position. 

340
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,400
We know how the story ends and 
it is by God's name, be 

341
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,200
glorified and it is so fabulous.
Well, you see when you look at 

342
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,300
these verses here and verse 21 
and 22, when you look at these 

343
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:45,800
two questions and you look at 
that illustration, you can see 

344
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,900
how it is that James. 
The brother of Our Lord is that 

345
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:53,200
a straight in that you've got to
put your faith into action? 

346
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,400
Your faith without works is 
dead. 

347
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,800
You can have faith all day long 
but if you Don't have the work. 

348
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,400
Should support that faith. 
It will accomplish you. 

349
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,600
Nothing. 
Please understand that. 

350
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,600
That's the reason we should not 
let days turn into weeks and 

351
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,900
weeks, turn into months and we 
are really doing nothing for the

352
00:22:12,908 --> 00:22:16,200
kingdom. 
The kingdom of God, the church. 

353
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:19,000
The spiritual family. 
We aren't involved in other 

354
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,100
people's lives. 
We're not trying to help other 

355
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:23,200
people. 
We've got to put our faith into 

356
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,700
action. 
We've got to do that. 

357
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:28,500
Alright, let's read again. 
Please. 

358
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:30,900
We're back. 
Still James to and we were stay 

359
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:34,100
there. 
In verse 23. 

360
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:37,100
And the scripture was fulfilled,
which saith Abraham believed 

361
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:40,700
God, and it was imputed unto him
for righteousness and he was 

362
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:44,900
called the friend of god. 
Wow, Abraham. 

363
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:49,400
The friend of God, I want you to
remember that Abraham. 

364
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,500
The friend of God, because in 
just a moment. 

365
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:57,600
We want to go to re have a 
hornet. 

366
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:02,800
In contrast to Abraham the 
friend of God. 

367
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,200
So it goes from one extreme of 
the friend of God Abraham to 

368
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:14,200
Rahab an immoral woman to prove 
the faith without works is dead.

369
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,700
What an extreme is kind of like 
the difference between day and 

370
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:23,000
night as far as you can. 
Imagine a man Abraham quality 

371
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,800
and seasoned veteran doing what 
God Said to a woman who's 

372
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,300
immoral. 
But he used her to prove the 

373
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:39,000
same point that he used Abraham 
for James is driving this point 

374
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,400
home. 
My friend of this is 2000 years 

375
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,400
ago. 
We've got it today and it's just

376
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,500
as effective today. 
As it was then oh believe me, 

377
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:53,100
there have been many people to 
try to disassemble change to 14 

378
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:56,100
through 26. 
There's some time than a Bible 

379
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:58,600
study. 
Someone has their Bible and 

380
00:23:58,608 --> 00:24:02,200
their Translation of choice. 
And I region as a constant here 

381
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,300
translation for a minute. 
I look at it yet, it's there. 

382
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Okay. 
Now I want us to read those 

383
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,700
verses. 
I want you to read that to me, 

384
00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:11,500
please. 
And and we were, I listened 

385
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:15,800
carefully and I follow my Bible 
and they reading their Bible and

386
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,900
their translation of choice, 
whatever it is, they're choose 

387
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,000
and I'll make sure that they're 
lining up good and most of them 

388
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,600
do, I've never had one real of 
the, didn't they lined up very 

389
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,800
well? 
And I said, let's figure this 

390
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,200
out. 
Why does James saying? 

391
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,300
And you know what? 
And just a very few minutes in 

392
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:38,000
less than an hour of a person's 
home, study setting across the 

393
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,200
kitchen table setting, the 
comfortable, living room are 

394
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,900
just setting and visit with them
wherever we may be. 

395
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:48,500
It is so wonderful to let the 
word of God speak and let us 

396
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:51,300
learn. 
It is amazing T. 

397
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,700
My friend is not going to be 
hard now. 

398
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:56,900
I know many of you have friends 
and neighbors that you really 

399
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:00,600
want to reach out to but you 
feel maybe in Inadequate, you 

400
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,900
feel inexperienced. 
I know that how that is, because

401
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:07,900
we all feel that way at times 
about certain topics. 

402
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,400
You've got rather in here. 
That's very, very season. 

403
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,300
They can help you but also the 
more you do it. 

404
00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:17,700
The better. 
You get. 

405
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:22,700
And getting to know James to do.
The very important principle to 

406
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:26,400
help you be more successful than
what you've ever thought 

407
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,500
possible. 
Okay, let's read on. 

408
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:35,900
Please James the second chapter 
verse 24 He see then how that by

409
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:40,400
works. 
A man is Justified not by faith 

410
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,500
only. 
Now, you know what, I'm going to

411
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:49,900
say not by faith, only the only 
time you have read you reading, 

412
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:53,800
your Bible. 
Faith only is right here and 

413
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:59,500
James the second chapter. 
And they said by warts by worse,

414
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:03,400
a man is Justified not by faith.
Only. 

415
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:08,100
We get the majority of the 
religious denomination groups 

416
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,200
religions X y&z whoever you want
a name? 

417
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,200
Majority of them. 
Will I want to teach you Faith. 

418
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,300
Don't they don't that's what 
this guy did today, Faith, 

419
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:22,300
Thomas Faith, only Words has 
nothing to do with it. 

420
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,500
You don't have to do one thing 
that is ridiculous. 

421
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,800
You cannot read this first right
here and draw any conclusion, 

422
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,200
verse 24, then Faith only does 
not save but your words is 

423
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,000
important to let me read it 
again please. 

424
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,700
You see? 
Then how that by works a man is 

425
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:46,200
Justified and not by faith only.
Now let's bring in another 

426
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,700
illustration. 
Likewise also was not Rahab the 

427
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:55,500
Harlot justified by works when 
she received the messengers and 

428
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:59,900
sent them out another way. 
Again, just like with Abraham 

429
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:02,000
and Isaac. 
I'm really tempted to go over 

430
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:05,500
and tell you all about Rahab the
Harlot but you know, James 

431
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:10,500
didn't. 
So I'm not going to He just used

432
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:15,100
an Old Testament occurrence that
these people knew about, and you

433
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:18,400
know about rehab, you know about
Abraham, you know, about these 

434
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,300
illustrations that he's using 
and you can relate to that, and 

435
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:26,100
he's using it to show that faith
without works is dead. 

436
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:32,000
He said again likewise in the 
same manner as Abraham was, was 

437
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,500
not Rahab the Harlot justified 
by works. 

438
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:37,800
What's more? 
He used that term justified by 

439
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,500
works. 
It is amazing to me how people 

440
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:44,100
can stand in front of an 
intelligent audience. 

441
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,800
And say, words has nothing to do
with your salvation when you 

442
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,300
look at James to and it said 
you're just fine my words and 

443
00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:55,800
when we get to the conclusion of
the lesson and we read those two

444
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,600
passages and Revelation, you're 
going to see how important it 

445
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,500
works hard. 
I want to tell you right now, 

446
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:05,800
it's time for inventory of our 
lives and to make sure that we 

447
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,400
look at our life. 
Really good. 

448
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,000
I want us to look. 
It ourself like God looks at us.

449
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:17,400
I want us to be that open and 
that honest that we look at our 

450
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,000
self like God, does he sees 
everything about us? 

451
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,900
Don't you? 
Look at yourself like you. 

452
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:27,400
Look at others, you know. 
It's amazing to me how people 

453
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:30,100
look at others and they find 
very critical things. 

454
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:33,200
Sometime to say. 
They lick themselves and they 

455
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,700
minimize their shortcomings. 
Just listen to people. 

456
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:45,400
Father. 
Forgive those who sin against 

457
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,400
us, listen to the prayers, 
father, forgive those who sin 

458
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,600
against us, and please forgive 
me of my weaknesses and 

459
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,000
shortcomings listen for that. 
Hatred all over the country. 

460
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,900
Those who do me wrong, they sin.
But when it's me, it's a 

461
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:08,600
weakness. 
It's a shortcoming. 

462
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:13,000
It is amazing. 
Maybe it's part of humanity, I 

463
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,600
don't know, but tell you what, 
we need to understand our sin is

464
00:29:16,608 --> 00:29:20,500
just as bad as in that Skies. 
Don't minimize your own. 

465
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,700
Just get rid of him and God has 
showed us how don't try to 

466
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,600
manipulate God. 
You're not going to win, don't 

467
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,900
go up against God. 
You're going to lose. 

468
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:35,200
That's what's going to happen. 
We will lose Let's just accept 

469
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,200
God's Will and I've got so many 
other lessons that I want to 

470
00:29:39,208 --> 00:29:43,400
preach throughout this week that
I'm not get to them all and I'm 

471
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,200
going to wish I did, but I'm not
be able to. 

472
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,100
But I want to show you the love 
of God. 

473
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:53,900
And what he did help you go to 
heaven and learning this truth 

474
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:57,400
right here, will help everybody 
know that your name is written 

475
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,000
in the Lamb's Book of Life. 
Your name is written in heaven. 

476
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:03,500
All right, let's take another 
look here. 

477
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:08,600
Verse 25 with your seventh. 
Question, number 2, verse 26. 

478
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,900
Now the last verse of this 
reading for as the body without 

479
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:17,200
the spirit is dead, even so 
faith without works is dead. 

480
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,400
Also here's the last 
illustration given in verse 26, 

481
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,500
he uses your physical body, your
body. 

482
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Without the spirit is dead, he 
uses that to equate, faith 

483
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:32,100
without works is dead. 
Dead. 

484
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,600
When your body loses its spirit,
it's dead body. 

485
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,300
When your faith has no word is 
dead. 

486
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:42,300
Faith. 
We today will not be saved with 

487
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:45,700
the dead faith. 
We will be saved with a living 

488
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:51,500
working, active faith. 
This should motivate us to do 

489
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:53,500
more than what we have been 
doing. 

490
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
He should motivate us to get 
more involved in our spiritual 

491
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,500
growth and helping other people 
to grow. 

492
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,900
You know, the more you can reach
other people by God's word and 

493
00:31:04,900 --> 00:31:08,200
reading the word of God. 
He just means tremendous amount.

494
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,300
Well, faith without works is 
dead, has been proven by James, 

495
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:19,800
the brother of Our Lord chapter 
2, 14 to 26, in order to prove 

496
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,000
that he has seven questions, and
he addressed it very directly, 

497
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,500
he gave us five illustrations 
and then in conclusion tonight, 

498
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:32,900
Revelation 14 and verse 13. 
There are many verses that we 

499
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:36,700
could go to right here. 
I've just chosen to but the last

500
00:31:36,700 --> 00:31:41,600
book of the New Testament book 
of Revelation The 14th chapter 

501
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:47,800
verse 13, blessed are the dead, 
which die in the Lord. 

502
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:52,800
They shall rest from their 
labors and their Works. 

503
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,800
Do follow them there. 
What their Works do, follow 

504
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,900
them. 
You know what, that shows Works 

505
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:08,400
matters, even after you die your
words, We'll follow you. 

506
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,600
Oh let's go to another passage 
Revelation, 20 and verse 12. 

507
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:18,200
Oh this this passage here, it 
will wake you up. 

508
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:20,900
It's amazing. 
John. 

509
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:24,400
Who's writing the Great Book of 
Revelation said, I saw the dead 

510
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:28,300
small and great stand before God
and the bunch was opened. 

511
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,400
And another book was opened 
which is The Book of Life. 

512
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:38,400
Notice what he said, Revelation 
20:12 and the dead were judged 

513
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,100
out of those things written in 
the books. 

514
00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:49,500
According to their words, Do not
Overlook Revelation, 14:13 

515
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,100
Revelation 20:12. 
I do you discuss the points of 

516
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:57,400
James 2? 
Remember the passages of 

517
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,200
scripture said and the final 
day, even after you die, your 

518
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,800
words are going to follow you. 
And the final day, the votes 

519
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,400
will be open and another book 
was opened which is a bunch of 

520
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,700
lies and you want your name that
book of life and you're going to

521
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:16,900
be judged by your works. 
Dear friends, we want to go to 

522
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:21,800
heaven, all of us want to and 
This Magnificent crowd. 

523
00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:24,300
Every one of you. 
We've got something in common. 

524
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,000
We all want to go to heaven. 
We want our name in the Lamb's 

525
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,400
Book of Life. 
We want to be saved, and the way

526
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,400
to know that you're saved, 
putting your faith into action, 

527
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:37,100
your faith by itself, will not 
take you there. 

528
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:39,700
Your faith and works and 
combined together. 

529
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,900
Will I ask you today, please 
consider where you are 

530
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:46,400
spiritually it? 
If you're right and ready to 

531
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,000
meet your maker, God bless you. 
God bless you in every way. 

532
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:56,000
But, if you've got sin in your 
life, there's two ways you need 

533
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,200
to go about getting forgiveness 
of that. 

534
00:33:58,300 --> 00:34:03,200
If you never obey the gospel and
baptism, that have a baptistery 

535
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,200
here, they can fill up in 15 
minutes. 

536
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:09,900
You've heard the word of God. 
Believe that word repent of your

537
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:14,699
sins confess, a beautiful name 
of the Lord Jesus Christ be 

538
00:34:14,699 --> 00:34:19,300
buried in baptism to wash away 
your sins, for the remission of 

539
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,600
sins. 
And the Lord will allow you to 

540
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,300
the church. 
Your name will be written in the

541
00:34:24,300 --> 00:34:27,400
Lamb's Book of Life. 
Wow, that's amazing. 

542
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,199
If you've never been baptized 
the way according to scripture, 

543
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:35,600
you need to be if you have, but 
you've had a spiritual Challenge

544
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,400
and difficulty Maybe plenty of 
them. 

545
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,500
You need to repent of your sins 
and confess your faults. 

546
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:44,300
Make a change in your life 
confess. 

547
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:46,800
I have sinned don't beat around 
the bush. 

548
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:53,699
I have sinned, don't go blamin. 
Anybody say I have sinned that's

549
00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:57,000
how that prodigal son didn't 
look 15 when he decided he 

550
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,500
wanted to go back home and said 
father I have sinned We need to 

551
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:04,900
own up to it when we do wrong 
and then the Bible says confess 

552
00:35:04,900 --> 00:35:07,300
your faults one to another and 
pray one for another.
