1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:04,800
This evening, we're going to 
study how to achieve an Abundant

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,000
Life. 
Everybody deserve to him in 

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,800
Abundant Life. 
You know why? 

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,900
Because Jesus, Jesus came to 
this earth died for us. 

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,400
He was resurrected and ascended 
to Heaven. 

6
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:31,900
All these was because he wanted 
to bring to us an abundant life.

7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,800
That's what it says in John 
10:10. 

8
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:40,900
The thief does not come except 
to steal and kill and destroy. 

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,200
Drawing High hip calm that you 
may have in the end that they 

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,000
may have Abundant Life. 
Abundantly I'm going to read 

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,800
something from technical 
problems, let me read it from, 

12
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:04,000
you know, was working on some 
scriptures this morning and I 

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,300
did didn't write the thief, does
not come except to steal and to 

14
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:13,000
kill. 
And in the end to destroy 

15
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:18,900
hockey, I have come, that they 
may have life and that day may 

16
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:27,400
have it more abundantly. 
Jesus came on a mission, that 

17
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,500
means you was to bring to us 
unabomb life. 

18
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:39,100
The question is why so many 
people in society, do not enjoy 

19
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:46,700
of that Abundant Life? 
The answer is because they are 

20
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:52,900
looking that Abundant Life than 
the wrong places that with the 

21
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:57,100
wrong people. 
There is some other question. 

22
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,700
Why? 
Some Christians who have obeyed 

23
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:10,000
the Gospel of Jesus Christ? 
Still, they do not enjoy the 

24
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,900
Abundant Life. 
Well, they need to learn and 

25
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:26,600
practice three important things.
That that's the only way they're

26
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,600
Christian can enjoy an abundant 
life. 

27
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:35,400
That's what we going to study 
this evening. 

28
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:42,200
Number one, we need to know 
Jesus. 

29
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:48,700
If I start question, may 
questions to you, tell me facts 

30
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:52,700
about Jesus. 
I know you and I tell me good 

31
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:56,300
number of them. 
He's got means that you know 

32
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:02,200
Jesus no you know, facts about 
Jesus. 

33
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:10,100
But the question is, do you have
a real real intimate 

34
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:14,800
relationship with God or 
something else? 

35
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,000
Right, well, If you ask me, do 
you know Jesus? 

36
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,200
I will not tell you several fact
that I have learned from the 

37
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,600
Gospels. 
But that doesn't mean that I 

38
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,800
know. 
Jesus. 

39
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,200
No, Jesus means something else. 
Philippians 3:8, says jacked 

40
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,500
indeed. 
I also count all things loss for

41
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,700
the Excellency of the knowledge 
of Christ. 

42
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:48,900
Jesus, my Lord, for whom I 
suffer as I have suffered, the 

43
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:53,200
loss of all things and count 
them as rubbish. 

44
00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:02,400
That I may gain Christ. 
Paul is saying that he lost 

45
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,100
everything for the Excellence of
the knowledge of Christ, Jesus 

46
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:13,300
his Lord, our Lord, The word, 
no. 

47
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,800
Must be understood in the 
Biblical context, we do not use 

48
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,900
the word know today, as it was 
Jesus and the Old and New 

49
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:29,400
Testament times. 
The word know there is a very 

50
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:35,500
intimate word that the speaks 
about relationship that you have

51
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,400
with the one that, you know, it 
is a very intimate word that it 

52
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,500
is even used in regard to the 
fleshly union of a man and a 

53
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:52,800
woman. 
You know, when Israel, the 

54
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,700
people of God in the Old 
Testament was a stray away from 

55
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:05,000
God was for only one reason. 
They did not know the Lord. 

56
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,500
Isaiah 13 says the arcs knows it
knows its owner than the donkey,

57
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:20,800
its Masters cream, but Israel 
does not know. 

58
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:30,200
My people do not consider that 
these people are no facts about 

59
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,200
God. 
Yes, they knew a lot about God, 

60
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,800
they really study. 
The Old Testament. 

61
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,000
So they knew they knew facts 
about God. 

62
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:52,400
But they did not have an 
intimate relationship with God. 

63
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:59,800
That's what I say is talking 
about, they had knowledge, he'd 

64
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:06,400
electoral knowledge facts about 
God but they did not built a 

65
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,700
strong Hitman impermanent 
relationship with God. 

66
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:17,500
And the New Testament. 
Same thing. 

67
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:24,700
Second Peter 3:18 says, but grow
in the grace and knowledge of 

68
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:28,800
our Lord and Savior, Jesus 
Christ to him. 

69
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,000
Be glory both now and forever. 
Amen. 

70
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:44,900
Grow grow in the grace and 
knowledge of our Lord and 

71
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:47,400
Savior. 
Jesus Christ. 

72
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:56,600
We have to grow, not only having
facts because we can study God's

73
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,600
word and we're going to learn 
facts about Jesus. 

74
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:03,100
And we're going to learn facts 
about God. 

75
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,600
But we're not talking about 
intellectual knowledge. 

76
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:18,200
We are talking about build a 
intimate relationship with God 

77
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:26,100
in a daily basis under any 
circumstances all the time. 

78
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:29,700
Okay, that's what we are talking
about. 

79
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,300
The Apostle tells us that we 
must not only know, the fact, 

80
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:44,100
the facts about God, but we must
have an intimate relationship 

81
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,800
with him. 
The Apostle says in second 

82
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:54,200
Timothy 1:12 for this reason, I 
also suffered these things. 

83
00:07:54,300 --> 00:08:02,000
Nevertheless I am not ashamed 
for, I know whom I have believed

84
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:07,500
and I persuaded that he is able 
to keep what I have committed to

85
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:13,300
him until that day. 
The reason the Apostle hit that 

86
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:21,700
confidence in regards to his Hi 
was because he built a strong 

87
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,300
relationship. 
Hit the moment relationship with

88
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:30,300
God, that that was the reason of
his confidence. 

89
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:37,299
If we read another scripture 
Philippians 3:10, it said that, 

90
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:42,299
I may know him and the power of 
his resurrection and the 

91
00:08:42,299 --> 00:08:49,300
fellowship of his suffering 
being Form being conformed to 

92
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:55,600
his death. 
What Paul is saying is that the 

93
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:03,400
whole direction of his life, the
whole purpose of his life was 

94
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:10,400
that he might know Jesus and the
fellowship of his suffering of 

95
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,400
his resurrection. 
Him being conformed to his 

96
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,300
death, did Paul. 
Know, all the facts about Jesus.

97
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,100
Yes. 
But the important thing in this 

98
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:27,900
case is that, that knowledge 
that he had put it in practice, 

99
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:36,200
in effect, his life, building a 
strong relationship with God. 

100
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:42,500
What in what is involved in 
knowing Jesus? 

101
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:50,500
It involves participation if you
are acting doing what God is 

102
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:55,900
asking to do. 
They, you know, God, then you're

103
00:09:55,900 --> 00:10:00,000
gonna build that relationship 
and got to be stronger, stronger

104
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,900
stronger, okay? 
Because you are active, you are 

105
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:06,800
involved, you are participating,
you know, you're busy. 

106
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,900
And the kingdom of God. 
We had to keep Jesus in her 

107
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:16,600
mind. 
We have to face a situation like

108
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,100
Jesus did, then we're going to 
know Jesus. 

109
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,700
We're going to have a real and 
intimate relationship with him. 

110
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,400
Let me tell you something else 
before we continue, when we 

111
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:35,800
really know Jesus, the people 
will know these And when you 

112
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,900
know who, when you don't know 
Jesus, when you do not know 

113
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,500
Jesus, the people will know. 
Even though you say, I'm a 

114
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,000
Christian, I'm a member of the 
body of Christ. 

115
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,400
I'm a member of the Church of 
Christ, the church that Jesus 

116
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,200
Built, okay? 
But the people, the people saved

117
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,600
them really, they know, they 
know they are watching us. 

118
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:06,400
They are really know if we or 
what we say that we are. 

119
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:12,700
Look what it says next 413. 
Now when they saw the boldness 

120
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:15,900
of Peter and John, they 
perceived that they were on the 

121
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:22,900
Gated on educated and on train 
man they marble look the last 

122
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:30,900
Light and they realize that they
had been with Jesus, huh? 

123
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:40,400
One. 
Because they add they live, they

124
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,600
speak. 
They behave like Jesus. 

125
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:50,800
As the only way, that's the only
way that we can prove that we 

126
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,000
know, Jesus. 
Yes. 

127
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,400
The people will will know if we 
know Jesus or we know only facts

128
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,200
about him. 
Let me tell you something else, 

129
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:08,300
I mentioned this and the first 
lesson and I said that we need 

130
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,800
when we know Jesus, when we have
an intimate relationship like 

131
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:20,700
Jesus, not only speak like Jesus
or Think Like Jesus or face 

132
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:24,200
things, that Jesus we smell like
Jesus. 

133
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Look what it says here. 
Now, thanks be to God who always

134
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:37,000
leads us in Triumph in Christ. 
Hint through US diffuses defrag 

135
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,900
against all his knowledge and 
every place pay attention to 15 

136
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:49,300
look for. 
We are to God the fragrance of 

137
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,800
Christ. 
We smell like Christ That's what

138
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,800
it says. 
Some people are expert in 

139
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,500
perfumes. 
You know, I don't use perfumes, 

140
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,600
you noticed that. 
But anyway you know how I don't 

141
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,500
use perfume. 
Judge some of you. 

142
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:11,400
Perhaps are our expert on that, 
you know, oh, so-and-so brand, 

143
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,300
you know. 
Well look spiritually look what 

144
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:21,400
it says here for. 
We are to God the fragrance of 

145
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,700
Christ to those. 
Who are being saved. 

146
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,800
Hey your brothers and sisters 
say mmm. 

147
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:35,700
So, and so smell like Jesus.

sisters, help for the people and
Society.

They see the way you act you 
behave. 

154
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:13,900
They said. 
Maybe he's from Mars, you know? 

155
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:18,400
Because he he looks different. 
He talks to me friend. 

156
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:23,900
He behaves different, he has 
different attitudes, huh? 

157
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,800
Well, smells like Jesus. 
Yes, sir. 

158
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:37,100
Well, the more you know, Jesus, 
the more you appreciate him, the

159
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:42,100
more you appreciate him, the 
more you're To serve him, the 

160
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:46,700
more you serve him, the more 
you're going to change the more 

161
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:50,100
you change, the more you're 
going to rejoice. 

162
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:58,600
And only then is when you going 
to start and joy to enjoy an 

163
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:07,100
abundant life because you enjoy 
Jesus because you have an 

164
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:14,800
intimate relationship with him. 
Then you know, start enjoying 

165
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:21,000
Abundant Life No matter the 
circumstances around us even in 

166
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,100
the middle of October turmoil, 
you know that you're not alone, 

167
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,600
Jesus is with you because you 
are attached with him like this.

168
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:37,600
So you can face anything through
him because you have a 

169
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:44,600
relationship with him because, 
you know, Jesus number two, We 

170
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,200
need to leave. 
Jesus knowledge has to effect. 

171
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:57,100
Everything about us. 
The way we talk the way we 

172
00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:00,100
behave. 
The way we treat others are 

173
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:04,000
attitudes or feelings. 
How we treat people. 

174
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:07,400
Everything is affected by the 
knowledge of God. 

175
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:12,700
That's when you really start 
living Jesus, that's the only 

176
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:19,600
way. 
Philippians 1:27 said for me to 

177
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,800
live is Christ. 
Had to die. 

178
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:30,300
Is gain Christians, always gain 
when we live and when we die, 

179
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,200
Nothing to lose. 
Always we gain, okay. 

180
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,200
Boy, saved for me to live is 
Christ. 

181
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,300
He live for Christ. 
That's what he it says. 

182
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:53,200
That's when true and Abundant 
Life came to exist in our lives 

183
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,300
because he came to bring a new 
dimension of Life. 

184
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:07,300
They knew quality of life 
because he is life, John 14:6 6 

185
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:13,500
says that he is live, okay, real
life. 

186
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,900
No physical life, spiritual 
life. 

187
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:29,000
Paul had this kind of life 
because he was living for Jesus.

188
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:36,500
We can see this in many 
experiences in chapter 4 at 14, 

189
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:42,800
at 14, the Apostle, after he 
just finished his first 

190
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:50,000
missionary journey returned to 
Antioch to give a report because

191
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000
this church was the one who 
Stamps and chapter 13. 

192
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:59,100
Okay, so he came back and give a
report and that missionary 

193
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:03,000
journey. 
He had all kind of persecution 

194
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:10,500
upon him but when he gave his 
report he did not say one word, 

195
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:16,600
about those things. 
Listen, the report just part of 

196
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,900
the report. 
Now when they said are calm and 

197
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:24,900
gathered the church together, 
They reported all that God had 

198
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:29,900
done with them in that. 
He hit opened the door of Faith 

199
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,400
to the Gentiles. 
He was just worried and 

200
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,200
preaching the gospel. 
Persecution suffering. 

201
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:42,300
He didn't care. 
You know, why he did it for 

202
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:45,500
Jesus. 
He was ready to leave for Jesus 

203
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:52,700
or to die with Jesus. 
That that is what makes the 

204
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:59,800
whole difference. 
He was not a Superman. 

205
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:02,700
No no. 
He was just like us. 

206
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,600
What was the difference? 
He was ready to live for Jesus 

207
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:11,900
or to die for Jesus. 
That is the whole difference, 

208
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:19,700
acts 16 and 25. 
The Bible tells us but at 

209
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:27,600
midnight, Paul and Silas were 
praying and singing hymns to God

210
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:31,100
and the prisoners were listening
to them. 

211
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:36,700
Paul and Silas preaching, Philip
by him baptized media. 

212
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:42,100
Hence the household and they 
perform a miracle that caused 

213
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:46,600
them trouble. 
They were put into prison in 

214
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,300
admit night. 
They were singing to God. 

215
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:59,900
That means they were enjoying an
abundant life. 

216
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:08,500
In Acts 26 verse 29. 
He was making his defense before

217
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:14,200
a group of the king and instead 
of defending himself, he 

218
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,600
preached the gospel. 
He was trying to reach a 

219
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,600
grapevine. 
All of them, their fastest, and 

220
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:25,500
all the people there. 
She can't that abundant life 

221
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:31,900
regardless the circumstances 
then you know we can read and 

222
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:33,700
second Corinthians when you have
time. 

223
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,600
Read second Corinthians 11:23 
until 30 in, you're going to see

224
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,400
all the suffering that that Paul
faced. 

225
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:46,500
No problem. 
He was ready to leave. 

226
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,100
He was ready to die for Jesus. 
Why? 

227
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,400
Why? 
Because he was living for Jesus.

228
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,900
That's why he enjoyed. 
I got a bomb life no matter 

229
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:08,100
what. 
One time me, big brother, he was

230
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:14,100
just baptized a perhaps. 
Three or four weeks ago, he 

231
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:17,800
asked me. 
Brother, you used you said in 

232
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,200
your lesson done now I'm going 
to have an Abundant Life. 

233
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,100
Yes. 
That's what the Bible says. 

234
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:26,400
Yes. 
John 10:10 got mean that I'm not

235
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,000
going to have any problem or all
say no, no, no. 

236
00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:34,700
The, you know, that the 
marvelous statement that Jesus 

237
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:42,000
gave in John, 10:10 about that 
Abundant Life is because even 

238
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,600
though we are facing problems 
tribulations, You name it. 

239
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:52,100
You never going to be alone and 
God is going to give you peace, 

240
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:58,500
real peace, real happiness 
because when you know, Jesus and

241
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:09,000
you live, Jesus Never is going 
to affect you all the problems 

242
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:12,900
and tribulations that you may 
face in life. 

243
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:20,100
That's why he's so marvelous to 
know Jesus and to live Jesus. 

244
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:27,500
Finally, we need to share Jesus.
We talked before the service is 

245
00:22:27,508 --> 00:22:28,500
about that. 
No. 

246
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,100
You want to to feel what you are
looking at. 

247
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:38,600
Something that is empty 
somewhere and your soul share, 

248
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Jesus talked about others about 
Jesus. 

249
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,800
And you not feel. 
Hmm. 

250
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:49,500
Wow. 
Delicious. 

251
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:55,400
You know, it's just in past 
incredible feeling when you 

252
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,900
share a Jesus because, you know,
we have a lot of knowledge, you 

253
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:05,600
know, with the leaders here and 
in each congregation, but, you 

254
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:13,000
know, you have the knowledge. 
In a safe deposit box Wells 

255
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,700
Fargo or another bad you know 
you have it there. 

256
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:24,600
No open your mouth and share it.
Yes you know we need to do that.

257
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,800
The knowledge is to share with 
others. 

258
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:34,200
There are so many people dying. 
Coworkers are dying and they are

259
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,600
going straight to hell right 
now. 

260
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:43,600
Right here in this Stay down. 
And there are some Christians, 

261
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,600
there are some real Christians 
spiritual Christians around 

262
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,200
them. 
And I don't think is fair. 

263
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:02,000
That we keep our mouths closed, 
and don't tell them. 

264
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:06,800
God loves you, Jesus died for 
you. 

265
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,900
God has a plan for you. 
Are you interested to listen 

266
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:14,700
about it? 
Very simple. 

267
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:22,600
Very simple. 
If you if you don't do that is 

268
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:27,200
because you don't want our 
brother and the prayer mentioned

269
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,800
about comfort zone. 
I like it comfort zone is fine. 

270
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,500
You know. 
I just want to try to leave. 

271
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,100
I'm going to do my best living 
for Jesus. 

272
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:39,700
Hey, what about the last one? 
Oh no. 

273
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,500
What about the out? 
You remember? 

274
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,100
What about? 
I don't know. 

275
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:47,900
Come for some very easy, very 
easy. 

276
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:52,700
No, no, I'm going to read one. 
Scripture that came to my mind 

277
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:58,400
right now, you know, James 4:17,
think about this scripture. 

278
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:12,100
James 4:17, look what it says. 
Therefore to him, who knows to 

279
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:17,000
do good and does not do it to 
him. 

280
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:22,500
It is sin. 
It is good to share the Gospel 

281
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:27,400
of Jesus Christ. 
He's in the just good. 

282
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:34,100
He said commandment not to 28 
March 16 and I can give you more

283
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:36,900
First Peter chapter 2 and 
others. 

284
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,100
Okay he said commandment from 
God share, share, share Jesus. 

285
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:46,300
Okay, well, is it good to do 
that? 

286
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:53,100
Yes, well, if you don't do it, 
You're sitting. 

287
00:25:55,100 --> 00:26:00,900
That's what Jake 417 says, or if
I understood it wrong, please 

288
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:03,600
let me know because I don't want
to preach something, that is 

289
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,600
wrong. 
And that doesn't mean that you 

290
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:13,400
need to go and knock doors and, 
you know, or, you know, but him 

291
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,900
a card share with somebody. 
Hey, I'm a Christian, this is a 

292
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:21,400
card with information. 
What we meet in, will be a 

293
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,000
pleasure to have you with us 
anytime. 

294
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:30,200
That's it. 
That's it. so it is so important

295
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:37,500
to realize all these burden, 
Look what he says in First Peter

296
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:41,400
chapter 2 verse 9. 
But you are a chosen generation.

297
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,800
Praise the Lord royal 
priesthood. 

298
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,100

Yes, you are Leah.

You know, I've only nation has 

300
00:26:53,900 --> 00:27:00,800

Okay, that you met what Clean 
the braces of you who called you

302
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:13,000
out of Darkness into his 
marvelous life. 

303
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:16,500
Let me ask you something. 
Why you are here? 

304
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:25,700
What you are a Christian today? 
because somebody talked to you 

305
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:32,800
about Jesus ascending, could you
imagine that nobody talk to you 

306
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:39,100
about Jesus? 
You were, you would be lost 

307
00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:45,000
today, but somebody talk to you 
about Jesus, you obey the 

308
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,200
invitation, listen about Jesus 
of a, The Plan of Salvation and 

309
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,900
became a child of God. 
He's Fair. 

310
00:27:55,100 --> 00:28:00,400
The we need to go and do the 
same book dolls who haven't 

311
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,500
heard about Jesus yet. 
Very simple. 

312
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,400
We have so many privileges but 
we have a responsibility. 

313
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,300
You we need like it says here. 
We need to proclaim the Praises 

314
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:22,100
of him who called you out of 
Darkness into his marvelous 

315
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,800
life, how we can do this. 
There are two ways. 

316
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:36,200
One by your example. 
Look what he says in Matthew 5. 

317
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:42,700
You are the light of the world. 
A city that is set on a hill. 

318
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:47,000
Cannot be hidden, nor do they 
light? 

319
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:55,100
Lamp and put it under a basket 
but on a lampstand and it gives 

320
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:58,700
light to all who you are in the 
house. 

321
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:03,800
Let your light so shine before 
men that they may see your good 

322
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,500
works and glorify your father in
Heaven, how they're going to 

323
00:29:07,700 --> 00:29:11,400
glorify your father? 
Which is in heaven through your 

324
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,800
example because we are the light
of the world. 

325
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:23,300
Jesus said in John 8:12, I am 
the light of the world but here 

326
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,700
and the sermon of the mount 
mountain, he said you are, yes, 

327
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:35,400
we are to the light of the 
world. well, through our living,

328
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:41,200
the way we live the way, we are 
believe that the way we talk, we

329
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:48,800
show, we send light to those who
are in darkness and some of them

330
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:54,300
if they pay attention to our 
good example, Date me come and 

331
00:29:54,300 --> 00:29:58,200
glorify God. 
What is the other way? 

332
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:05,800
Revelations 22:17, and the 
spirit, and the bride say, come 

333
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:10,200
the spirit Through the Bible and
the bright. 

334
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,300
Who is the bride? 
We the church. 

335
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,400
The church says what come are 
you? 

336
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:24,500
Are you telling people come 
Coworker, classmate, friends, 

337
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:31,700
enemies, come well, that's what 
God expects from us to let the 

338
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:35,900
people come. 
I'm a Christian I enjoy an 

339
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,800
Abundant Life come and learn 
about it. 

340
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,200
Jesus died for you. 
Both there are many things that 

341
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,500
we can say just to invite to 
motivate the people to to listen

342
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,500
about the Gospel of Jesus 
Christ. 

343
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:59,000
So, good example. 
And give extend an invitation. 

344
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:05,600
When you do that, there are a 
lot of possibilities that other 

345
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:12,400
people make. 
Make calm, or at least at least,

346
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:18,300

Christ. so, in order to have an
