in the agreement that God has with men
today we have different kinds of
agreement in the Garden of Eden all
right the first covenant God says the
only agreement for men to live forever
in paradise is that every tree you can
eat except for one the day you eat of it
you shall surely die right what tree was
that knowledge of good and evil so what
if I’m ask you a question what if Adam
kicked the dog will leave forfeit
paradise well he dies physically no what
if he and Eve had an argument all right
and he says something he should have
said to Eve will he forfeit paradise
well he died physically no so what’s the
only agreement back then there’s no Ten
Commandments nothing in the garden
only one thing don’t eat from the tree
of knowledge of good and evil which is a
very thing mended and if forfeited
paradise as a result whenever you see a
funeral whenever you look at the
newspapers you see obituaries whenever
you hear of children dying of cancer you
see this nothing no this God is not at
fault man is God never want these things
to come in to earth but sin brought
these things in to earth okay you need
me to tell you how despiteful how
terrible how awful sin is and you look
at the cross of Jesus Christ all right
God did not spare his own son when he
took our place look at how he suffered
on the cross because sin in order to
appreciate the extra vegan love of God
you must know the severity of sin our
grace message is not a message of
universal grace Universal love God love
everybody you know God love the flowers
the trees the birds the end the
cockroaches the stones and I got love
everybody you know it’s not that kind of
love it’s not it’s a responsible strong
love where he sent his son because he
God is also justice on one side God is
love and God is justice in one because
God is justice the whole universe is
still in place because every time he
says something it stands and when God
says the soul that sins must die
God cannot back up and say boys will be
boys sweep everything under the carpet
if God is a God of his word he must be a
god of justice he must
punish sin but then God is love he
doesn’t to punish you he didn’t want to
punish me he they don’t punish our
children so it seems like God has a
dilemma isn’t it but the wisdom of God
God sent his son and on the cross Jesus
Christ fulfill God’s justice all right
in other words Jesus Christ took our
sins he who knew no sin he who did no
sin in him is no sin became sin on the
cross with your sins and my sins and
then God punished Jesus for all our sins
amen on the cross every lash of judgment
every stroke of condemnation every
stripe of disease fell upon Jesus stroke
after stroke stripe at the stripe lash
at the lash after lash after stroke
until finally Jesus cried it is finish
and the last stroke felt finished and
all heaven he satisfied listen carefully
our sins were they punished or not were
they punished are we forgiven because we
escaped the punishment of our sins
no our sins were punished but in the
body of another our sins were punished
that shows God’s justice but in the body
of another that shows God’s love because
it was God who sent Jesus he was God who
planned this he’s not the kind of love
God loves everybody universal grace
universal love everybody going to heaven
no hell no such thing there is a heaven
to gain and a hell to shun and God’s God
sent Jesus because Jesus preached about
hell more than any other person in the
Gospels he told us there’s a place where
the woman does not die and the fire is
not quenched hell I mean sin is horrible
cinema tell there’s sin destroys
relationships it brings diseases sin
caused people to die you’re going to
have a a hatred towards sin Amen you can
never appreciate God’s grace until you
hate you know have a kind of hatred
towards sin then can appreciate God’s
grace
and for you to have a true estimate of
sin it’s not just saying I hate sin look
at across that’s how terrible sin is it
put even God’s Son to die such a
terrible death for you and I but the
fact he did die now if you got is a just
God and God look at you and you sin and
God says never mind
I am love never mind all of your going
to heaven what kind of God is that there
is no justice and none of you can enjoy
life if you know it God can change its
mind tomorrow today is a by my mercy I
forgive all of you let me tell you this
we’re not forgiven by God’s mercy God’s
mercy sent his son we are forgiven by
God’s justice we are forgiven by God’s
righteousness the the Bible lingo is
righteousness it’s God’s justice do you
understand when somebody took our place
amen
it does not just this there’s no rules
there’s no fun amen
I’m looking at the laws of Moses here
I’m talking about about justice because
of God’s justice the whole universe is
moving in His perfect cosmos in its
order I love God’s justice you don’t got
to be an unjust you won’t got to be just
so our forgiveness is not based on
because it’s oh you know what I pity all
of you sinners so I just forgive all of
EULA know there is a reason why he
forgave us and the reason was provided
by him he sent his son his son was
punished because sins cannot go
unpunished
his son was punished at the cross for
all our sins until every sin of your
entire life is punished alright and God
looks at you in got this from now on I
cannot punish you if you believe in him
why your sins have been punished
that is God’s justice and that gives us
rock-solid foundation for our faith in
Jesus do you understand
