 Covering this a book of Hebrews one because we covered it before but as I said before there were some videos that we took down just because of the lighting, audio, the quality of it just to kind of keep it consistent and so I'm redoing this one over. So hopefully this is better, maybe maybe not, maybe if this becomes a disaster I'll just put the other one back up. I want to cover Hebrews. Important book there are a lot of the obviously in many books but there are a lot of different theological implications that are there in the book and I want to flesh those out because I think in doing so it gives us I think a good understanding of what the author is trying to convey. Now two things, one we need to figure out who the author is maybe we can maybe we can't but also more importantly than figuring out who the author is is what's the purpose of the book, one who he's writing to and what's happening, what's the surrounding circumstance so most folks can understand can lean from just a title of the book of who the book is being written to. The book has been written to Hebrews, that's the name the book of Hebrews written to Jews but the question is and let me just look at how you guys how you when I ask who do you think wrote the book of Hebrews 40% say Paul 2% say Luke 14% say some other apostle and 43% say I have no idea rather than rather than just going on and trying to tackle it as we go I want to cover a couple passages to give you an indication of not necessarily who it is but we can we can from the scriptures tell who who did not actually write it let's go to Hebrews let's start in verse 2 verse 3 and put on the screen matter of fact let's just stay in verse 1 let's just stay in verse 1 oh oh wrong spot that's why okay so for this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard now there's some nuggets being dropped here we must play pay much closer attention to what we have heard so that we do not drift away from it for if the word spoken through angels prove unalterable in every transgression and disobedience received as just penalty how will we escape how will we escape if we neglect so great you know I'm in the wrong one Emma I think I meant okay if we neglect so great a salvation after it was first spoken through the Lord it was confirmed to us by those who heard got also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his own will is there anything that sticks out in this passage that can help you to understand who could not have written this book well let's read it again so I want you to see this starting going back to verse 3 the middle of verse 3 after it was at the first spoken through the Lord it was confirmed to us by those who heard it so it was confirmed to us by those who heard it in other words the writer had it confirmed to him by the people that heard it then he says got also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and various miracles and by the gifts of the Holy Spirit so let me tell you who who that automatically eliminates it eliminates every apostle and it eliminates Paul why because that Paul didn't qualify for that in order to the apostles are with me because it says let's read it again after it was verse 3 after it was first spoken through the Lord it was confirmed to us by those who heard somebody might say well maybe that still might include Paul because it was confirmed to him well no remember he did meet Jesus but then even more so how we know and by the way this could not be the apostles because the apostles didn't have anything confirmed to any of them by anyone who heard it they were the ones who would let everyone know what was going on with me then verse 4 got also testifying with them both by signs and wonders so that would include Paul and the apostles confirming with them those people who were showing these signs and wonders so if it couldn't be Paul nor could it be any of the other apostles who could it be well it could be Luke it could be someone with apostolic authority remember the New Testament writers are either apostles or someone with apostolic authority all the books weren't written by apostles for example James Jude Luke and Mark those are not apostles those are men writing under apostolic authority but they're not apostles and so the short answer the easy answer the best answer is we're not sure however we do know we do know that could be could have been Barnabas could have been Barnabas you absolutely right you're absolutely right it could have been Barnabas Barnabas is one of the ones Luke there are different names I wanted to kind of put in there but I just couldn't because they only give you four four slots on here but basically it's it's unknown we're not sure however what we do know the more important thing is who the writer is writing to and why this book we've stated before that in order to read this book to get a good understanding of this book what the writer is saying you're going to bump into the to my desk you're going to have to have an understanding of obviously the Torah but more specifically Leviticus we're gonna see that in just a second but but but the whole point in figuring out who is or who isn't this is why we've been saying even through the Bible studies that it's a good idea to develop the ability to say I don't know I don't know I'm not totally sure why because if you go in thinking that you do know when you don't or thinking that you should know then what will you do you might in some case just make it up or you might for something someone asked you for an answer and you can't give it to them well then just say I don't know be honest and and then I'll do my best to get an answer and come back with you but again you don't have the burden of being perfect that is unless you don't put it upon yourself you don't have to be perfect in your understanding are with me and so for here we just don't know we can guess but again that passage eliminates a lot of people 12 people to be specific by the way there's another passage also that you might want might want to consider let's go Hebrews 13 23 this is why some others also might think that it might not be Paul as well because in chapter 13 verse 23 says take notice that our brother Timothy has been released with whom if he comes soon I will see you well the reason why some might take that this might also not be this might also help to eliminate Paul is because there's a question as to whether Paul was alive when Timothy was in prison a lot of folks wait a minute Timothy was in prison yeah Timothy was in prison he got released but Timothy was in prison that does that mean that Paul might have been alive at the time could been but there are a lot of folks who just don't know what Bible to am I using this as a court I use Lagos and accordance but the one that you look at you guys looking at right now is accordance but now the reason why we're not sure Paul died Paul died by the way if we look at when this book was written this book was written somewhere around look on your screen in the the bottom portion of it between 64 and 67 AD Paul was killed around 67 68 AD okay and so now there's a possibility that all of this happened before Paul was killed could be could be because of the the the unsurety when it comes to when these books were written the exact date we don't have an exact date of any of these books we just have basically they're all approximations we don't know we just do know that the last book that being revelation was probably written somewhere between an early writing an early dating would be 80 AD a late dating would probably be 90 95 AD so but anyway let's go ahead and jump into it let's go ahead and fix my screen again go back to Hebrews 1 and let's jump into it now this book is being written to Jews remember and this is vitally important guys vitally important remember we're speaking this is 30 years roughly after the death of Christ which means 30 years after the founding of the church for Jews what have they been accustomed to and these Jews who are placed in their faith in Messiah what still are they most accustomed to they are more accustomed to Judaism they are more accustomed to be specific the law and so because of that there still is this willingness to kind of go back and lean back on all of their history remember the church isn't as big then as it is now they're living in troubled times this is a time still what it was dangerous still to be a Christian they were still persecuted there's a lot of going on remember 70 AD had not yet happened and then even after that even more persecution after that and so when I talked about everybody on the planet being a Christian you know it's it's it's vogue to call yourself a Christian even though you don't live like one it's vogue to be a Beyonce type Christian or Steve Harvey type Christian or an Oprah Winfrey type Christian that's okay but then when it's time to live like it and defend the gospel well that's different but for them Judaism is it as a matter of fact even under Rome's guidance Jews still had a little bit more protection than other religions and so these people are still used to either they themselves their their their fathers or parents or grandparents that ascendents this has been ingrained in them even if they weren't even practicing the way they were supposed to okay so that needs to be understood and so that comes up a lot which is why it's important to understand the book of Leviticus so now we're gonna move pretty quickly so that we can get through hopefully up to a chapter 11 or 12 maybe 13 maybe the entire book but anyway let's go ahead and start and we're gonna see some very important doctrines covered in this so going to it Hebrews 1 1 God after he spoke long ago to the fathers and the prophets in many portions in many ways in these last days has spoken to us in his son whom he appointed heir of all things through whom also he made the world a couple of things right off the bat we've got an issue this issue shows up when you hear someone say that the Lord spoke to me and then someone else will say no he didn't and they'll go to Hebrews 1 1 and 2 now I'm not one of these people who who automatically listen to someone who'll say yeah the Lord spoke to that person God told me this as a matter of fact I've cautioned others cautioned pastors be careful about saying the Lord told me the Lord put it on my spirit because now you're bringing him and you're impugning him and then what if it's wrong well who looks bad so just just I kind of feel this I'm kind of being pushed I feel like I'm being pushed this way however you don't have to necessarily say that it's God that's behind it because sometimes we do that to kind of add extra pressure the people make them believe us because hey God told him who are you to say what God didn't say well who are you to say that he did so I would just caution folks but what happens is folks go to this passage now does this passage say that God is no longer speaking to anyone but he's only speaking what they'll say is God only speaks through his scriptures well a couple of things God doesn't just speak or move through his scriptures when I say speak I don't necessarily mean an audibly spoken word that God thunders out of heaven in other words that he can also put impressions on your on your heart through the Holy Spirit he can do that as well but obviously through his word but does this passage specifically say that God is speaking through his word through the Bible no it does not let's read it again he says in these last days he has spoken to us in his son one it said he has spoken and so by the way this is past tense and so that couldn't be the case if we say it was past tense that he spoke to us in past tense because what wasn't written at the time of this writing the Bible a lot of the Bible okay and even then what we do have written wasn't available so I will I would caution folks in your attempt to hurry up and find a reason why a heretic is wrong let's not make up one let's not read more into it if we say that they're ice-eating passages we shouldn't turn around and do the same thing to disprove their ice-eating are you with me so what does it say he has spoken to us in his son whom he appointed air of all things now this could just simply be through his spirit through the Holy Spirit in us because of what Christ has done but it could not necessarily mean I don't think it would mean that it's about the word because again who had all of the written word of God at this time because you're gonna make this statement and that's what it means well then it becomes a moot point for most Christians because they don't have the word in this time if you were if you were blessed enough to get a copy of the scrolls let's say one of Luke's writings or if you were if you were blessed enough to get one of John's writings one you probably have all of John's rights first of all John hadn't written anything at this point yet he hadn't written his gospel well you know you know what he may have it's possible that John actually may have written his gospel John's gospel yeah between 65 and 72 so it's it's possible it's possible I'm gonna ask your question second Cameron it's possible but but but first John second John third general had me written yet and so you would be you'd be fortunate if you got let's say if you had the the acts of the apostles you'd be fortunate if you had one of one of Paul's other writings we didn't have we didn't have copy machines then and we didn't have a local bookstore and you can go to Amazon or wherever else or or Christian bookstore online and get it so this could not necessarily be what he's saying now Cameron said but isn't isn't the word Jesus what do you mean because like I can't say this book right if I hold up where's my back there if I hold up the Bible this is Jesus no it's not Jesus it's the words their testimonies their messages on paper okay now does it does it contain his words yes and does it testify of him yes are you with me it's not like the Lord is in this in this in this in this now we find out about him in this and so when we say the word we mean who he is the embodiment of what God is wanting to do and so that's my own that's my only point but now does this does this say that we should not rely on the Bible no it's not what I'm saying either so whenever someone says the Lord is speaking what's the first thing we do we're gonna compare it with the word of God are you with me and so it's not to diminish it but it's not to make it also not to make it say what it really doesn't say and then we'll also counsel okay because what if it's something that the Bible doesn't help us out let's say we're in a church meeting and we're trying to decide should we do should we fund this ministry or should we fund that minister you're not gonna be able to find that answer in the scriptures so now we come together and we counsel with each other we pray about we use wisdom we use our experiences and we come to conclusion well the Bible doesn't help us with that but what if someone says hey the Lord is telling me the Lord is moving up on me and well okay the Lord has just told me not to listen to what he told you so that's my only point so I want to I want to pull that out because a lot of people do bring that out yet and now again God does speak to us through his written word now but I'm saying that's this this passage isn't really saying that are you with me so verse 2 whom he appointed heir of all things through whom he also made the world and he is the radiance of his glory of whose glory of God's glory he's the radiance of his glory and the exact representations where we get the word in English character because that's the Greek word the Greek word is character in Greek and so he's there he's the exact representation of his nature and upholds all things by the word of his power when he made purification of sin he sat down at the right hand of majesty on high having become as much better than the angels as he has inherited a more excellent name than they now stop for a second someone's gonna say well see he inherited this name don't look at his fact that he had to earn this he had to work for it which makes him lower than God know in other words what he's done is now considered above everything else now by the way interestingly enough this same name is still the name of God the name of God the name of Jesus remember at whose name at whose name will every knee bow and every tongue confess well we're told in the Old Testament God at the name of God at every knee shall bow and tongue confess and then Paul tells in Philippians yes that after name of Jesus so it's not like they're dueling names one in the same are you with me let's go back to it verse 5 for to wish nice he's making this distinction about angels and Jesus for to which of the angels did he ever say you are my son so in case someone is your whole witness and you want to think that Jesus is Michael the archangel there's something believe that to which of you did he ever do you angels did he ever say you are my son today I have begotten you now some folks gonna say we'll see clearly he's not God because he was begotten the word begotten we're gonna find out by the way that he's always existed but the word begotten doesn't mean today was the day that you were born today was the day that you that you first came into existence no that's not what they mean either now we'll get to chapter 10 and we'll find this out as a matter of fact we're gonna find this out even before we get to chapter 10 but if someone thinks that then we'll see just in a second we'll see in a second if that is the case as well and again I will be a father to him and he shall be a son to me now what is he speaking of what is he speaking of his incarnation him taking on flesh are you with me we're gonna prove this in a second as well and he again brings the firstborn into the world he says and let all the angels of God worship him so clearly he's clearly he is not an angel but all the angels of God worship him and the angel and to the angel he says who makes his angel wins and his ministers a flame of fire but of the son he says your throne oh God is forever and ever so here is an example where God himself calls Jesus God so we can ask the Jews we can ask we can ask the writers of Matthew Mark Luke and John we can ask a Trinitarian we can ask anyone else who Jesus is if he's God or you can ask God God says here if we're gonna take this writing as true God calls him God he says your throne oh God and no by the way this is what we call in the Greek the vocative this is to declare who he is so oh King you wouldn't you would say this out of a means of adoration in lifting the person up oh King oh God oh Lord are you with me so this is what the vocative is and so he says your your your throne oh God in the vocative is forever and ever forever and ever and so it's from ages to ages in other words what he's saying is is from always having been to always will be that's the connotation of time only on to I own us that's what that means and the righteous scepter is in the scepter of his kingdom remember we cover this before in Genesis 10 not 10 Genesis 49 10 11 when Jacob is pronouncing his blessings on his sons and he says of Judah through the light of Judah the scepter shall not depart and so this way speaking of right here he says you have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness well that's the same that's the same as God the father so clearly we're speaking of someone who is in who is equal which is why use the word the exact representation of God or character therefore God you know by the way this is also no I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm almost said this is in the bucket it's not therefore God your God has anointed you with oil of gladness above your companions and you Lord pull this up and then you Lord also is in the bucket as well and you Lord in the beginning lay the foundation of the earth but I thought that was God was which is why he calls him God and you Lord in the beginning lay the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of your hands but I thought the Bible says that the heavens declared the handiwork of God it does so there be no confusion so there be no distinction we're talking about God here we're not talking about someone who's like a God who is working on behalf of God who's cool with God no we are talking about God it says they will perish but you remain and they all will become like old garments and like a mantle you will roll them up like the garments they will also be changed but you are the same and your years will not come to an end you in other words you don't change you are who you always been now does that mean but wait a second but I thought he when he took on flesh did he change no he still got and everything that he voluntarily veiled or voluntarily subjected under the father he did so voluntarily because as he says if he wanted to he can call a thousand legions of angels he can do what he wants to do but he came for specific reason we're gonna get to that just a second by the way if there's ever a book if there's ever a book that makes me want to be semi-penal costume that makes me want to shout and jump almost speaking tongues it's gonna be this book it's gonna be this book there is so much goodness in this book and so let's get back into it but to which of the angels has he ever said sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool none verse 14 are they not all ministering spirits sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation now something we talked about before in the Bible study about when angels were created and so forth well this is one of the past that you can point to if you believe not saying that you're right or wrong but if you believe that angels were created after mankind because he says what the purpose of these angels were for here in verse 14 that are they all not ministering spirits sent out to render service for the sake of those who inherit salvation in other words to serve us now yes some did some did leave their domain their bow their duty but still he's giving at least the point the purpose of them chapter 2 by the way and I shouldn't say this because it slows us down but we're moving a lot faster than I did the last time that I did it anyway for this closer attention much closer attention to what we have heard so that we do not drift away from it why is he saying this why is the writer of Hebrews saying this what because he's writing to Hebrews he's writing to Jews what they have heard you wouldn't necessarily make this statement pay attention what you have heard to Gentiles because they may not have heard it but the Jews have so he says so that we do not drift away from it does that mean we can be safe and then drift away from our salvation no drift away from what what is the it that you can drift away from someone tell me the it that you can drift away from is what we have heard remember what Paul says Paul makes this statement matter of fact let me go ahead pull it up I think Romans and I'm I feel weird I'm typing right here because the other computer's right here is gone so I feel weird doing this but Romans no no not Romans I'm sorry not Romans first no I'm sorry second Timothy I'll get it straight first second Timothy chapter 4 Paul makes a statement and we also see it in first Timothy as well second Timothy 4 there is Paul says he says in verse 6 for I am already being poured out of the drink offering and the time of my departure has come I have fought the good fight I have finished the course I have kept the faith and it's tame-pisting which is a noun I have kept the belief the faith not I have kept having faith or I've kept believing that's not what he's saying and even in first Timothy he says that in the last latter times some will depart from not from believing but depart from the faith the belief what we know to be the truth and so Paul's I'm Paul look at me and so the Rite of Hebrews is saying so that you don't drift away from what what you have heard that set of beliefs the it what you have heard are with me by the way how do we know he's talking about a set of beliefs well this comes from now this is in the verb form but this comes from the word I coase in this case is a verb I could stay sin which is if we go back to Hebrews that Hebrews if we go back to Romans 10 he says that faith comes by hearing and having hearing hearing and hearing but the word hearing is not a verb it's a noun the noun I coase so this is telling us that don't drift away from what you have verbally heard which is the it don't drift away from that what's it that you've heard this good news this report are you with me for the word spoken through angels prove unalterable and even in every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation after it was at the first spoken through the Lord it was confirmed to us by those who heard God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gift of the Holy Spirit according to his own will so now verse 5 for he did not subject to angels the word to come again Jehovah's Witnesses again Jehovah's Witnesses pay attention the distinction between angels and Jesus but one has testified somewhere saying what is man that you remember him or the son of man that you are concerned about him you have made him for a little while lower than angels let me stop there for a second because some of your versions may say you have made him a little lower so the question is which one is it is it that you have made him a little lower or you have made a look if you made for a little while lower did he make Jesus lower or did he make him lower for a little while well let's go look at the text the context not the text but the actual Greek text he says the word for made him and then Raku T par and then I'm gonna so he's made so now this word made this is where we get the word made lower or made less okay this is the word plateausa which is this is him making him lower and then him Raku for a little while so some of your versions might say you be he was made lower some verses might say he was made lower for a little while which tells us what the reason why it's important to know that he made him lower for a little while because he hadn't always been lower he was something before then he was brought lower but just for a little while meaning what going back to this issue was he begotten was he made we talked about begotten like us no he didn't it's not to say that he had a a distinct beginning no he was just brought lower for a moment and Paul brings us out in Philippians Philippians when he says about having this mind that's in him that he emptied himself of something we find out that now we don't understand mechanics but he into himself of some glory which is why in John 17 he prays to get the glory back exactly right Dutch for 33 years that's for the little while that he was made lower so before that he wasn't lower and then after that he wasn't lower but during that time why we're gonna find out why he was made lower anyway so you have crowned him with glory wait a minute how could you crown him with glory if you don't share your glory with anyone because he doesn't share his glory with anyone you've clown crowned him with glory and honor and have appointed him over the works of your hands huh but wait a second how are you putting him over the works of your hands if it was his hands that made it because he's got because God is saying to God you have put all things in suggestion under his feet for in subjecting all things to him he left nothing that is not subject to him but now we do not yet see all things subjected to him right now all things are not subject to him let me drink my coffee this is gonna be a bunch of coffee being drank today let's put it back on a screen but now we do not yet see all things subjected to him who am I speaking to out there oh I'm speaking to my loving dear brothers who are in the Amillennial camp who believes that Jesus is reigning now he's not just won't put that out there he has not made all things subjected to him not yet the time will come the time will come when he will but just not right now but do we see him who was made for a little while lower than the angels namely Jesus because of the suffering of his death crowned with glory and honor so that so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone uh-oh I'm sorry now he's also yeah it's gonna be one of these coffee drinking days I'm gonna have to just drink I'm gonna have to drink my coffee to get strengthened to deal with cuz I can see it I can see a comment a video someone called me a heretic or I ain't saved so let me just drink this before I make my point again notice what he says I'm taking small sips just so I can make it last notice what he just says guys notice what he just says I apologize for you guys who believe in limited atonement I apologize now listen I do believe in election so for my Calvinist brothers I do agree with you there again I'm a three point Calvinist I guess I'm a 3.25% Calvinist or or or 2.75 I listen I agree with you on a lot of things but the limited atonement part no here's why look what he just says namely because he of the suffering of his death crowned with glory and honor so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone Pontus now the question is this record does all or everyone mean that he did for everyone in this case yes how do I know because what are we referring to who are we talking to we're talking to Jews who are understanding this in the light of the Old Testament atonement I wouldn't know brand I would know I wouldn't know don't call Calvinism nonsense because most work out let's not agree most Calvinism I just don't agree with limited atonement and I could be wrong and I could be wrong about total pravda could be wrong but if you're going to reference and he is going to be referencing a lot of Hebrew or Jewish imagery and issues of the law then in the law under the old covenant system of atonement death was made or the payment was made the blood was spilled for everybody that guys I'm sorry that's not even a that's not even a real question now we might look at it through the lens of our doctoral statements now that it wasn't but no the payment was made for everybody everybody wasn't atoned for but propitiation which is the payment was made somebody says Korea has Calvinist tendencies yes CG I guess I do I guess I do which come which leads to the confusion sometimes but propitiation the payment was made here here's the payment here's the payment here's the payment for their sin now it's still up to them to place faith in it but place faith in what you're placing faith in the payment that was made for everyone are you with me but I don't want to get stuck there I don't get stuck there we'll come back to this issue later it's not a big point to make but it's worth it out there where it was fitting for him whom all things and through whom all things are all things and bringing many sons to glory to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings by the way this issue of sufferings should not be diminished amongst believers I think we feel this way because we've gotten away especially here in America and in the UK and in Canada in most western civilization that Christians don't suffer well on this earth we'll suffer to some degree in certain areas now certain parts of the world they understand that certain parts of the world they understand that you have been a Christian over here in this country gets you in trouble over here not so much but the persecution is going to come which is why he makes this statement that though they the lived desire to live godly shell suffer persecution everybody's not going to suffer persecution to the same degree but it's going to happen but who shows us the pattern of it that is Jesus for both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one father for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brethren saying I will proclaim your name to my brother in the midst of the congregation I will send your praises and again I will put my trust in him and again behold I and the children whom god has given me uh-oh this is where I see I went from being non-calvinistic to now becoming calvinistic right here because he says behold I and the children whom god has given me adoken his passage so adoken because this is the heiress tense or past tense these children that god has given to jesus there's the election part this I listen in one fell swoop I lost all my Calvinist friends and then they all came running right back once I got over this part because if you are in christ it's because he gave you to him this Greek word adoken that uh does the bible thumb for two is butchering it means to give this is past tense we gave so those who's given uh what I consider myself a martyr uh no oh no no uh and be honest I don't want to be one it's gonna be a from my understanding being a martyr hurts they don't just you know give you appeal and you just go to sleep but anyway amen spider monkey um same thing that he says in john six same thing says in john six and so uh do we play our part in election after our our part in election is going to be this after your heart is regenerated then you make this profession of faith and then the spirit keeps you but you don't make your profession until he makes his election you don't choose him until after he chooses you that makes sense I'm winning all my Calvinist people back now I'm winning back I lost him and then brought him back anyway let's go back to it therefore since the children share in flesh and blood he himself likewise also partook of the same that through death he might render powerless him who had the power of death that is the devil and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives now here's him giving an example or he's going to start talking about why he had to become like us why he had to die why he had became become a man to do so for surely he does not give help to angels they by the way anyone that says that angels can be saver who's their salvation though uh angels in a different category than us for surely he's not given help to angels but he gives help to descendants of Abraham therefore he had to be made like his brother in all things so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God to make repitiation for the sins of the people for he himself for since he himself was tempted in that which he has suffered he is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted so now here's it there are two things that are happening here we'll talk about this a little later in the uh in the saturday morning bible studies and i'll cover this a little later on also this issue that you all have heard this term kinsman redeemer where there's someone who is of your family who's going to redeem you someone like you um who has your family's interest at heart that's going to redeem you and so that's a bit what he's talking about here as well as his high priest the high priest the high priest is a person this high priest who is this mediator and remember when we're talking to jews it's high priest uh and mediator when we're talking to to to gentiles it's almost always if not always mediator but this person has to go between that's mediating both sides we need somebody who is able to mediate both sides the side of man and the side of god and this is where jesus's incarnation this is where this comes into play this is why let's keep going therefore holy brother partakers of a heavenly calling consider jesus and what he calls him the apostle and high priest of our confession he was faithful to him who appointed him as moses also was in all his house for he has been counted worthy of more glory than moses by just so much as the builder of the house has more out of the house where every house is built by someone but the builder of all things is god think about jesus here now now mose was faithful in all his house as a server for a testimony of the things which were to be spoken later but christ was a faith was faithful as a son over his house whose house we are if uh oh here's a problem uh oh you you want saved always saved people here's a problem that we must deal with because this is a passage as a matter of fact some of these next few passages are brought up to say that you can lose your salvation so it says as a son over his house whose house we are if we hold fast our confidence and the both of our hope firm until the end huh does that mean if we don't hold fast our confidence if we don't hold fast our boast does that mean we will not be saved does that mean something all right guys we've we've covered this before we've covered this before everybody who anybody i believe this is me this is my take and oh by the way oh by the way this is this is in keeping with judyism as well anybody can make a public affirmation of faith anybody can as a matter of fact we've been seeing people all throughout the history of mankind making a public affirmation i believe based on the set of facts you tell me i believe i believe those facts i believe that i believe i believe the set of facts that you're telling me they just don't keep believing they don't keep holding fast that's kind of been the case matter also this and i'll make this the first point even more so but also this so i don't forget just because you say you believe that mean you believe just because you say you're a christian doesn't mean you're christian just because you say you're a woman doesn't mean you're a woman just because you're a man i mean you're a man so you guys if i if i want to set you up with uh with a young lady or with somebody and you say let me see who who can i pick on it cg you might are cg i think you're you're single aren't you cg cg single i think are you single cg i say cg i would like for you to meet my friend well who's your friend jasmine it's my friend jasmine give you jasmine's phone number let you talk get on the phone and hello mass because jasmine oh yeah this is jasmine in that same voice not this is it yeah this is jasmine who's this oh hey cg yeah my my name is jasmine no no just because you call yourself a woman doesn't mean anything am i right do i have a do i have a witness from the ladies but just because you also call yourself a christian doesn't mean it just because you say yeah i do believe jesus died on the cross for me doesn't mean that you're safe does not mean that you place faith in him we might not have time to get into the whole place in faith what does it mean to place faith in him we'll get into it more and i know they're going to be the people who are uh hyper free grace folks oh no we're gonna deal with that because we're gonna we're gonna deal with that and i'm going to want to see my super free grace people do i believe in faith alone i absolutely do and i hear hey you're back loading works come tell me come show me don't make a video about what i'm saying don't leave a comment about what i'm saying i mean i mean you guys that have the channels and so forth no you're more than welcome to we can have this conversation and we're gonna see something but that being the case that being the case just because you say you are didn't mean that you are and so paul i'm messing up not paul not paul the writer of hebru says if we indeed if we indeed are holding fast so this word right here eion that is if so if you guys are holding fast to your confidence and if you're holding fast to your boast you're saved now what's going to keep you holding fast to your confidence and your both with the holy spirit in you we'll come we'll get back to that later therefore just as the holy spirit says today today if you hear your hear his voice do not harden your hearts as when they provoked me as in the day of trial in the wilderness where your fathers tried me by testing me don't harden your heart don't don't don't do that so you mean tell me you can't harden your heart well i mean we're born that way we naturally harden our heart don't we this is why i believe that you have the opportunity to choose for yourself you just won't now big distinction with me guys i've stayed before that those of us who chose we didn't do because we we thought good to make that decision to choose no i don't think that we choose on our own i think we can choose and we don't then he steps in and choose us then we choose him big distinction big distinction so now let's go back to it uh where your father's tried me by testing me and saw my works for 40 years therefore i was angry with this generation and they and said they always go astray now by the way let me just say this too do you all remember when we talked about this issue of this is an eschatological issue in matthew when jesus was talking about the signs of the end and it says this generation this generation will not pass away and i've said that he's not speaking of that generation then but at the time of these things are happening this generation that are seeing these things well similarly we have this therefore i was angry with this generation well which generation he's referring to the generation that's dealing that that's going through what he's speaking of just like in matthew the generation that was dealing with or going through what he's speaking of and he uses the word this generation there the same word was used in matthew the same word this used here this generation are you with me not the generation is hearing it now in Hebrews or us but that generation then okay so the this the this doesn't mean like we say it okay the word the word does have nuances and can be stretched depending upon context are you with me so now that being said therefore i was angry with this generation and he said they always go astray in their heart isn't that what i just said they always go astray in their heart now initially in their heart what do they say they said we believe but what does he say they always go astray you believe but then you go astray just like little kids just like us we believe in and go astray batting the belief that saves us though yeah i believe jesus i believe the lord until something something we think that's brighter and prettier comes along that's how it happens so he says as i swore and i'm sorry and they did not know my ways they didn't know my ways they didn't know me which is one of the things that they were always told to do make sure that you know him so as i swore my wrath they shall not enter my rest take care brother and here it is take care my brother that there not be in any one of you an evil unbelieving heart that falls away from the living god let's read let's let's go over here uh blepe which is to see out though if we which is brothers so look brothers make sure behold brothers and this word uh mepote which is that they're never or less unless there be in some of you in tinae humon some of you a heart a wicked heart that didn't believe a wicked unbelieving heart a heart that doesn't believe now where in this passage would it say that they used to believe it doesn't say that it doesn't say that because remember what he's what he's comparing him to he's comparing them to these jews who said they did believe but they didn't but remember what he said about them just a few verses earlier he said and they did not know my ways and he said they always go astray in their heart and they did not know my ways they they did not know him they said some words but they didn't know him are you with me so take care that you don't have that same kind of heart these are people who did not believe not that they used to believe no they don't these are unbelief this is who this is who they're described as unbelievers so when you're going to say that these are folks that believe and fell away and so paul or apollos or uh luke or whoever you think wrote it obviously we already covered the fact that it can't be paul or any of the other apostles because of what we read earlier whoever wrote it is not saying that you believers can now make sure that you don't start not believe that's not what he just said that's not what he just said and some are going to want to say so well then i'll i'll challenge them ask them to tell us when did these people ever believe so now he says take care that they're not be in any of you that they're not be in any of you which okay long as they're none amongst you who don't have this heart that doesn't believe that's his point this wicked unbelieving heart now if you think that you can believe and then stop believing we are going to have a huge problem coming up real soon huge problem coming up real soon again just so that we can make sure who is this writer writing to he's writing to jews who are used to the old covenant way who are used to the law and the and the atonement and the various the various offerings and sacrifices they have as a matter of fact i had this no i don't have it i wanted to see if i still had it lined up the the offerings and so i still do i still do okay as a matter of fact let me move that up because i may want i may want to show you guys this later on let me put this in my in my shot so i could actually see this way down and i should have did this earlier give me a second okay there it is so take care that they're not be in any of you make sure that you don't have that heart make sure that you don't have that kind of heart i can't tell someone else can't tell only you can but encourage one another uh day after day as long as it is still called today so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin for we have become for we have become partakers of christ look this here it is again if we hold fast the beginning of our insurance assurance firm to the end let's read what he says matakoy which is that is the we are partakers so because we are partakers of christ um what he says giga giga namin which we which is a pluperfect activity i won't get to the pluperfect i'm not going to get into but it's still a past action a past completed action if indeed so now here's what he's saying if indeed you guys are holding on if you if indeed this who you are you're fine that is if indeed you are i don't know the writer didn't know i'm speaking to you as believers but i don't know i don't know so if indeed you are here's how you say it if indeed you're safe you're safe forever matter of fact if i were to say if indeed you're safe then you're always safe so instead of saying one saved always saved i can say if indeed save you're always safe people will still have a problem with that but that would be me using the exact same verbiage as the bible if indeed you are saved you are always safe matter of fact let's just start doing that does does the does it sound right iis hold on iis as doesn't have the same as osas iis as hold on iis as there we go yeah thank you spider monkey iis as but if indeed you're safe as a matter of fact that's what the bible says all throughout if indeed you are safe you're always safe so what's the most important thing if indeed you are saved if you are saved if you know let's just do like this if saved always say we said that we've said that before so if saved always saved now how do you know if you're safe well that's why paul says and even jesus himself says you better make sure find out examine yourself that's why we have all of these different warning passages make sure don't be the guy the kind of person that knows the word but you're not sure that you're safe like when jesus describes in matthew seven and what does he say i used to know you know um we i knew you once and then we stopped knowing each other we're we went our separate ways no he says i never knew you so same thing here so he says today you hear his voice hard not hard not your heart as when they provoked me so speaking now remember he's referring back to the jews for who provoked him when they had heard indeed did not all those who came out of egypt led by moses and with whom was he angry for 40 years was it not those who sinned whose bodies fell in the wilderness and to whom did he swear that he would not enter they would not enter his rest but those who were disobedience so we see that they were not able to enter rest because of unbelief did they never believe these these are not these are people who just did not believe and because of that unbelief remember they didn't go into the promise land why they didn't believe they could take it two did but the rest didn't so you guys die well we'll give your children a shot but you don't therefore we're making good time compared to the last one even though we're an hour into it and i'm only on chapter four but we're making good time therefore let us fear if while a promise remains of entering his rest any one of you may seem to have any one of you may seem to have come short of it for indeed we have had good news preached to us just as they also but the word they heard did not profit them why because it was not united by faith in those who heard it was not united by faith so they heard they understood but they did not have faith even though if we go back and look at the Old Testament they said they did they said they believe they made public affirmations and they did not and they did not okay so for we who have believed by the way look at this word for we who have believed entered that rest just as he said recall what we've said all along what it means to believe even though your english might have the word ed uh this is not like that this is not a past tense this is the greek word pistosantes which is a eris active part of the soul we in the past began believing so this is still that state of believing are you with me so so all of us who have been believing enter that rest just as he said as i swore my wrath they shall not enter my rest although his works were finished from the foundation of the world he has said somewhere concerning the seventh day and god rest on the seventh day from all his works and again in this past they shall not enter my rest therefore since it remains here it is listen to this since it remains for some to enter it and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience or unbelief he again fixes a certain day today saying through david after so long a time just as it has been said before today if you're my voice do not harden your heart so we are still preaching the gospel guys we are still sharing it there are people still yet to come who are still to come start believing so now we don't know who these folks that are also going to place their faith in christ but we still have our job to do in terms of spreading the gospel sharing with people because there are still yet people who this day has been fixed for and oh by the way the same thing is put out the same the same promise and the same warning to people back then as well as now and in the future believe on god now you you could did it then just like you could do it now do not turn away from this why is that important because and in the end god is going to be able to say I gave you the opportunity and you did not gave you the opportunity and you did not so you're not going to be able to say if you're in hell to be able to say I never had a shot oh yes you did oh yes you did don't blame me because I didn't show you when when I've shared this before that during my federal tour in my federal tour there were people who had the exact same charge exact same everything I mean a lot a lot you'd be surprised how many people had the exact same makeup as I did and got two years three years four years some five years and then I got 20 the judge was perfectly within his right to give me 20 but the judge also has discretion to give others five or four or three he's perfectly within his right to give me what I deserve what you did as well as within his rights to give someone show someone else mercy he can do that and I and guess what I couldn't do I couldn't come back and complain man you gave me to me I couldn't complain about that because that was on the table it's just that those who got three four five years they would thank you praise god thank you judge same thing here so he is well within his rights to all of you going to hell but I tell you what I'm going to say this person that he's within his right and no one can complain nobody let's continue or if josh we had given them rest he would not have spoken of another day after that so therefore so there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God which is going to be obviously eternity for the one who has entered his rest has himself also rested from his works and remember this is important guys if you have entered into his rest you're not being taken out of his rest we're going to make this point even more so as we go therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest so that no one will fall through following the same example of disobedience for the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit both joint and marrow and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart and there is no creature hidden from his sight but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do verse 14 here's the good stuff now is it possible to move between faith and doubt and still no sure there's this this people there's this there's this this taught this teaching this thought that if I show any doubt I have no faith that's not the case at all if I have any doubt I have no faith well Paul had some doubts and things didn't he the disciples did matter of fact Paul said hey we even despaired of life itself we were just we were we were in a bad way didn't mean they didn't have any faith they had faith sometimes the situation is tough it's like man I'm I'm Lord but the good part of that it's kind of cool how the way God puts it the I have faith in God but I'm having some doubt about the situation so what do I do because I have faith in God I still go to I still I've told you all the story about my daughter Morgan who when she was a little kid little baby not a baby but she was young how old was she five six seven she would always ask are we gonna feed her today are we gonna cook when are we gonna eat nice 12 o'clock in the afternoon one o'clock I said Morgan Morgan have we always fed you yes do you think we're not gonna feed you today I think you're gonna feed me today then why are you asking I just want to make sure just want to make sure and I didn't have a problem with it though why because she verified faith in her mother and father by coming to us asking for a potential problem so we do the same thing and so yeah it's possible that you may lack faith in some areas but remember you said it's though you have no faith but instead you don't have any faith so you can have faith and then doubt in some areas and then just be like the father says I do believe I have faith but help my unbelief that happens we are going to grow our faith is going to grow amen hopefully it should grow first 14 here we go therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens Jesus the Son of God let us hold fast our confession for we do not have we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness another word another word he knows what it's like to have these struggles not the same struggle another word if you were addicted to morphine or cocaine or have you no Jesus didn't have the exact same addictions no you guys you might be addicted to porn struggle with porn no that no but he knows what it's like to be hungry to suffer to be ostracized he knows what it's like to have this tugging from the outside on on within and he shows us how to handle it it's not to say that he's gone through every single thing but he can identify with these temptations remember here he was at his um hungriest loneliest moment in the beginning and here comes good old Satan do this and I'll give you that I know you're hungry I know you're hungry Jesus so he can sympathize in that regard so for we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness but not with all of our failures but with our weaknesses but one who has been tempted in all things as we are yet without sin therefore let us do what draw near with confidence to the throne of grace so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help them in our time of need so that kind of answers his question can we have faith and then also have some doubt he says so what does he say so that we may receive mercy and find grace in uh to help in time of need just draw near just draw near I'm struggling Lord but just draw near verse five for every high priest look what he says and this is why Jesus had to be had to come in the form of a man for every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men who is a high priest taken from from among men important in things I'm appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sin so he's going to offer gifts and sacrifice for sin he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided since he himself also is uh beset with weakness now he's speaking of the old priest a human priest not about Jesus obviously Jesus was not beset with weakness okay and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifice of sin as for the people so also for himself and no one takes the honor to himself but receives it when he is called by God even as an was verse five so also Christ did not glorify himself so as to become a high priest but he's but he who said to him you are my son today I have forgotten you just as he also said in another passage you are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek now Jesus wasn't born to become a high priest he was a high priest who had to be begotten as a man are you with me there's a huge distinction he didn't become a man in order to become high priest he was already going to be high he's already high priest who had to become a man had to be chosen from as he says from amongst men and this high priest not out of the same order of Aaron but out of the same order of Melchizedek now does that mean that Melchizedek is Jesus we had this conversation before could be we're not totally sure the possibility is that he's actually a man or the possibilities that he actually is Jesus don't know leave that for another time go look at the video that we did covering this but he is a priest forever in the days of his flesh he offered up both prayers and supplication with loud crying in tears to the one able to save him from death that's Jesus obviously going to the cross and was heard because of his piety although he was a son he learned obedience from the things which he suffered you never learn some the imagery of the word is he he understood it he understood this suffering never had this happened before did he um and having been made perfect or perfecting is really the better way to put it uh this is this is him perfecting things he became to all those who obey him the source of eternal salvation all those who obey him all those is the present active participle the reason why the present active participle is important because again all of us who are saved we are we live like present active participle in this state of this in this state of believing in this case in this state of obeying Christians guys if I haven't made it clear before Christians constantly are constantly obeying Christians are constantly believing Christians are constantly hearing Christians are constantly following Christians constantly have a repentant heart are you with me there is no such example of a Christian who does not is not continually now do we do so perfectly no in other words today's Monday Tuesday I get upset and yell at somebody but but after that I feel bad my flesh got the best my most got the best me and I felt bad because of that and why I felt bad because I'm still following after my master are with me so let's continue and having been made perfect he became to all those who are obeying him the source of salvation he is the source of salvation being designated by god as a high priest according to the order of mechizedek concerning him we have much to say and it's hard to explain since you have become dull of hearing for though by this time you ought to be teachers who's he speaking to again these Jews these Hebrews you by this time you ought to be teachers he's not speaking to Gentiles but to Jews I'm sorry you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God remember the Jews were given the oracles of God according to according to Romans the advantage of being Jew but now you have need of milk and not solid food for everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness for he is an infant but solid food is for mature for the mature who because of their practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil that's how we should be here we go therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ about the Messiah this is how we know again he's speaking to these Jews guys he's speaking to these Jews and we're going to go somewhere we're going to actually going to step back a little bit too after we see this let us press on to maturity not laying aside or laying again a foundation of repentance that part is important not laying a new foundation guys of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God you don't have to lay a new repentant foundation guys this is literally what he just says not laying a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith towards God of instruction about washing and laying on of hands and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment and this we will do if God permits is God permitting yes he is so don't don't take that when we see the word if like that's the end of everything if you know God is permitting so the possibility of him not permitting is not even there for in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakes of the Holy Spirit and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the Asia come and then have fallen away it is impossible to renew them again to repentance since they again crucify themselves to the Son of God and put them to open shame now grab my cup because this passage keeps coming up I don't know why this passage comes up I have no idea why this passage keeps coming up if someone wants to believe that you can lose your salvation why is that Corey well a couple things being played here either the writer is speaking hypothetically and saying you can't lose your salvation or you can fall away and then this ends up becoming the unpardonable sin huh Corey what do you mean that this becomes the unpardonable sin well here's why it becomes the unpardonable sin it becomes the unpardonable sin because what did he say now by the way let me just be clear here he is not speaking to unbelievers I there are people that want to use this passage and and to defend eternal security by saying that well he's not talking to Christians he's not talking to believers he clearly is talking to believers he clearly is talking to believers these are to an audience of Jews who have placed their faith in the Messiah does that mean that every single Jew that would read this letter has done so no where do we see that every single person in the audience that he's speaking of is that actually has true faith we never see that anywhere in scriptures from the old to the new from from Genesis we never see that there's always some folks who are amongst us who are not actual believers uh Arthur Kelly on used on Fridays usually on Fridays so what is he saying here if you are saved if you were to walk away if you were to fall away he's not speaking metaphorically falling away he's speaking if you fall away see Corey that proves you can lose your salvation because you can fall away no because what does he say if you fall away and I would and and no metaphor I wouldn't even focus on the if I would I wouldn't even focus on the if you know why I wouldn't focus on the if I'm gonna tell you why I wouldn't focus on the if because if you can fall away guess what you can't get you can't get saved that makes this thing because wouldn't that make this now the unpardonable sin so if I fall away it's impossible to get saved again do you mean tell me that sin can't get pardoned again you mean to me if I fall away I can't come back to Christ who teaches that you can lose your salvation but also teaches that you cannot get saved again I haven't heard anyone say that I take it back I take it back I've heard a couple people say that yeah if you lose it you're done away with you're done away with thank you writer for life appreciate that so what he's speaking of though is hypothetically why is the writer speaking Corey how do you have the audacity to say that the writer here is speaking hypothetically well if you have fallen away you can't come back because he just said it's impossible let's not miss that point guys verse 6 then have fallen away it's in the literal passage that everyone points to about have fallen away he says it's impossible so if you have tasted of if you have you've been once been enlightened and tasted the heavenly gift and have fallen away it is impossible to renew them again to repentance y'all see that it ain't gonna happen well that can't be what it means because paul says make sure you guys as you be that examine yourself to make sure that you have christ make sure because if you don't then make sure that you do place your faith in him but what if I used to and I fell away don't don't come back that would be like saying if you were or christian you fell away kick rocks forever don't come back we don't want to see you no more thank you kindred james appreciate that we don't want to because that's what he's am i reading this wrong did he just say it's impossible so why would i say why would i say this is hypothetical peter i'll thank you as well why would i say it's hypothetical he's speaking to this these jews who what is their mentality their mentality because he's talking about these high priests and what does a high priest say or do the high priest must make propitiation for the people how often what about that's a good question i'll go and answer that real quick uh i just i just saw it i can't answer all the different questions but this this is sort of entertaining to him what about his uh is equal to 18 about the righteous who turn into do evil the reason why i'm answering this question guys is because here's my question frank and anyone else that they want to ask how in ezekiel were they ever considered righteous this is very important let me let me drink some of my coffee and i'm gonna drink some of my water why you guys get your thoughts together on this one how was anyone ever considered righteous okay through faith frank said which is which is true through faith in what though through faith in what it wasn't faith in the cross there wasn't a cross there was no jesus that knew him they had no idea who jesus was they didn't even understand how the Messiah was going to save them they they had no idea so through faith in what i'll tell you this we're going to put a pause on everything remember i said guys that you must if you're going to read these books this is why i have a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic where is the historical part come in kory the historical part comes in here on your screen you see this if you haven't seen it before take a screenshot if we can look and see exodus there is a chronological book what is what is given in exodus we all know in exodus the law was given there's a chronological but there's a couple chronological books i mean complementary books that go along with this chronological books that being leviticus and deuteronomy if we want to see all the details that we can find about the law that was given in exodus we would look in leviticus and deuteronomy now incidentally also there are these offerings that they gave as well we'll talk about these offerings in just a second i'll put up a chart for you guys if you want to do a screenshot of it as well to have this to have this done as well but let's go over here to leviticus 16 now recall guys in leviticus 16 we have this day of atonement two things have to happen the high priest has to make atonement for himself why because he's going to go before god remember what the bible says about the high priest about jesus and about the previous high priest chosen from amongst the people but these people had to these high priest had to be cleansed and be in right standing the word justified or righteous before the lord before they go in you're not you know what you're not doing you're not bringing your your tail in here you are not coming in here to speak to me on behalf of the people before me and not be in right standing it's not going to happen so the the priest himself had to be in right standing so atonement must be made for himself he has to make atonement for himself as well initially then after that he has to make atonement for the people now how does he do so there are three elements for the people to have their sins atoned for one this high priest has to make atonement for you he's going to be the mediator someone who's in right standing with god is going to hello roslyn who's going to be a mediator go between between man and god can you think of anybody who's better suited to do so to be the go between between man and god other than someone who is man and god but then we see all of the sins of the people are professed on the head of this scapegoat and the sins are sent out of the camp away from the people in other words away from where the presence of lord is going to be but then also god has determined that propitiation payment is going to be blood not yours because you ain't got enough to pay for all the sins you're gonna that you're gonna do and then even that your blood ain't that good you're you're bloody it's like going to the blood bank and the blood banks and listen i'm sorry we can't take your blood we can't take your blood why because your blood sucks you got a horrible you have horrible blood your blood is is just full of all sorts of impurities and so we can't take it so the blood is shed over the altar and god accepts it are you with me so that has to happen that has to happen and then once god accepts it what there are you are you are you are you atoned for at that moment are you atoned for at the moment that god accepts the payment because god has to have to accept the payment are you atoned for what do you guys think put in the chats yes or no if you think that at that moment propitiation is made since it been confessed it's done by by a priest and god accepts it are you atoned for at that moment it's not a trick question by the way it really isn't i see yes i see yes i see yes um i see yes and i see yes and i see somebody says that you must place faith in it don't go in cj and here i am i'm trying to hook you up with with jasmine who used to be james i apologize cj because you got it right you're not atoned for you're not you're not in right standing until you do what all the things are there is made for you but until you place your faith in it then guess what now once you place your faith i'm sorry once you place your faith in the atonement then you're safe now there's other things you have to do you also have to afflict your soul and so forth fast not work all those things then you place your faith in what god has done trusting that god has accepted the payment you have to trust that god accepted it just like now do you just do you did god accept the fact that some god named jesus got on the cross and died do you think god accepted that his payment yes i do and i placed my faith in that guess what i'm safe what do you think it's just some random guy got up there well then i don't think he accepted that well then you can't be saved right so that's what happens now let's go to leviticus 16 a couple things and we're dealing with with uh frank's question about leviticus about ezekiel 18 the way this person was in right standing or righteous was because they placed their faith remember the day of atonement was still going as a matter of fact the day of atonement just ended when jesus got on the cross just ended so look what he says in verse 29 he says this shall be a permanent statute for you a permanent statue in the seventh month on the tenth day of the month you shall humble your souls and do not do any work and not do any work whether the native or the alien who sold germs among you for it is on this day that atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you you will be clean from all your sins before the lord here it is guys it shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you that you may humble your souls it is a it is a permanent statue it is a permanent statue she says why should i drink any more coffee she look it is a permanent statute so this is going to be forever but what what happens when the when when this old testament law ends it's going to be a permanent statue we're just going to find better elements we'll see that in a second so the priest who is anointed and ordained to serve as priests in his father's place shall make atonement he shall thus put on the linen garments let's drop down i want to read all the all the technicalities on that verse 34 now you shall have this as a permanent statue to make atonement for the sons of israel for all their sins how long guys how often once a year once a year once a year once a year so now this issue of atonement is also going to be brought up again in the in Hebrews because this is what they're used to they're used to having their sins atone for every year as a matter of fact not just having their sins atone for every year what happens in the middle of the year four months later eight months later i done messed up well god has also given them these offerings they can take part in these different offerings got the burnt offering grain offering peace offering sin offering guilt offering and you have when you can have these offerings take place what type of offering and where you can find it in the bible as well so now if you haven't done so take a snapshot of this because this becomes very useful the point of these offerings is in the meantime i keep messing up here you go lord i'm sorry or just to say lord i thank you you're awesome and what if i don't have a i don't have a goat laying around i don't have a i don't have a i don't have a calf if you're poor there's also ways to get around it if you're if you're poor so that's what that's for that's what was available for them for all this time these jews are used to what to that not to this new thing where you mean tell me all that it takes my faith in it just like i did then just once that's it yes that's it how hard must that have been for them to kind of grasp that i'll tell you how hard that is it's so hard i'll put it back up it's so hard that even we today who we never even known about the old covenant the law we don't even know about it we still struggle with our with the level of guilt what am i going to do i just messed up here i'll put it back on the screen again so if it's sometimes difficult for us how difficult must it have been for these jews who lived that so now let's go back to uh back to Hebrews uh i'm sorry Hebrews Corey so now these people who believe that they could fall away from it well how are you getting back if you can fall away from your salvation if you can fall away from what you've been given this atonement they're used to having this atonement year after year after year but you're only getting it one time so how are you gonna if you fall away this time what's going to tone for you i see where some of you guys get confused though because you think that placing faith in the last atonement is good for now guys if you place let's say it is this year you place faith in the atonement for this year next year um you're not in good standing do you get to go back and place faith in the previous year's atonement no it's this year you can't go to four atonements behind so in other words it's this one atonement each year however we don't have a one atonement each year what are these jews looking for this every year thing that's still in them that's what they're accustomed to and so if you could fall away then faith in what you fell away from would need a new atonement that's why you can't have it brought you can't be brought back it would be that's why it says it would be impossible there's nothing to bring you back now the very thing that you fell away from the faith that is gone you need a new offering there is no new offering just this one time and that's why he's going to go and tell us about this confidence that we must have as a matter of fact because he says since again you crucified uh to themselves they crucified themselves the son of god and put him to open shame that's the whole point now i've got to move i've got to move but i want to show you something let's drop down to verse nine but beloved look what he says we are convinced of better things concerning you we are convinced of better things concerning you and the things that accompany salvation though we are speaking this way for god is not not unjust so as to forget your work in in and the love which you have shown toward his name in having ministered and is still ministering to the saints and we desired to each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end the reason why i say this is full assurance of hope until the end i want you guys to have this full assurance of hope until the end and by the way he's going to reiterate this throughout this book but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit promise for when god made the promise to abraham since he could swear by no one greater this is important guys since he could swear by no one greater he swore by himself saying i will surely bless you and i will surely multiply you and so having patiently waited he obtained the promise for men swear by one greater than himself and with them and the oath is given as confirmation is an end to every dispute now i want you to hear this point since he could swear thank you by the way shila since he could swear by no one greater who did he swear by let me drink some of this i know shila said don't drink any more coffee i got to i got to because it's about to get good hopefully this has been good it's about to get gooder and by the end if this will be the goodest thing you've heard all day he's talking about the very fact that we need to choose that he needs to have a high priest chosen from amongst men to represent men remember that because he's talking about this high priest so he's talking about this high priest that needs to be from among men okay so let me just look if i'm i'm i'm i'm playing a part of god right here i'm just not to be blasphemed but uh let me find a man down there let me find a man down there but if i'm gonna do it i can't do it by just them i'm not gonna swear by them let me go back to uh good old good old fashion good old testament leviticus you know what you know what wait a second don't want to go there yet no i don't want to hear it there yet let me hold off let me build up the anticipation let me build up the anticipation uh let me finish reading here and then go do a little bit of chapter seven for by for men verse 16 swear by one greater themselves and with them and oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute in the same way god desires an even more to show to the heirs of the promise of the enchantfulness of his purpose interposed with an oath so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for god to lie we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hopes that before us this hope we have as an anchor wow i like that as an anchor of the soul a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil was he speaking of where jesus has entered as a forerunner for us having become a high priest forever according to the order of melchized guys look what jesus is doing he is entering he it look what he says having become a high priest forever what did jesus do he entered into the veil jesus did so now i'm going somewhere guys this is about to get good dirt or am i am i saying this correctly this is about to get really really gooder more more gooder than you can than you can think so let me drop down to i think i want to go to verse 20 something yeah i want to make sure i want to make sure i don't pass up this particular verse let's go to verse 23 the former priest now it talks about him being out of the order of melchized guys i don't i don't want to get into that just yet or actually at this anymore in this video we've covered that before but verse 23 for the former priests on the one hand existed in greater number because they were prevented by death from continuing they couldn't continue making atonement and intercession on our behalf but jesus on the other hand because he continues forever holds his priesthood permanently therefore he is able to save us or he's also able to save to save also to save i want you to pay attention to the word how he's able to save and for how long he's able to save therefore he is able also to save forever those who draw near to god through him since he always lives to make intercession this is where if our pentecostal this is where i go to shouting and speaking tongues and probably fall out for it was fitting for us to have such a high priest wholly innocent undefiled separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens who does not need literally says not need daily like those high priests to offer of sacrifices first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people because he did once for all he did once for all he did once for all when he offered up himself how many times you have to do it one time let me just go ahead and use my my ability to speak in a bilingual fashion uno he did it one time uno time i i messed it up i'm not as bilingual as i want to be my spanish is a little rusty but uno just once just one how do i say that guys how do i say one time in spanish but that's how many times i did it just one time one time look what he says verse 28 for the law appoints men as high priests who are weak but the word of the oath which came after law appoints a son made perfect for ever here we go now the main point is what has been said is this we have such a high priest who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of majesty majesty in heaven a minister in the sanctuary and the true tabernacle which the lord pitched not ma'am for every high priest is appointed offer both gifts and sacrifice listen this guy is what's coming up so it is necessary that the high priest also have something to offer now if he were on earth he would not be a high priest at all since there are those who offer the gifts according to the law who serve a copy and shadow other things just as moses was warned by god when he was about to erect the tabernacle for see he says that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown on to you on the mountain but now he's obtained a more excellent ministry by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant which he enacted on better promise i won't get this whole issue of new covenant old test old covenant by who it applies to not not not in this video for if the first covenant had been faultless there would have been no occasion sought for a second for finding fault with them he says behold days are coming says the lord when i will affect a new covenant and he does tell us who's coming with but uh de una vez por todas thank you sirene uh de una vez por todas and then someone says una vez uno tiempo and then lisa look look at she just wants she just rained on she says your spanish is no bueno uh mi espanol is sufficient is somewhat of it's sufficient i better stop anyway behold days are coming says the lord when i will affect the new covenant with the house of israel and the house of judo not like the covenant which i made with their fathers on the day when i took them by hand to lead them out of the land of egypt for they did not continue in my covenant they weren't continuing guys and i did not care for them says the lord for this is the covenant that i will make for those in israel after those days says the lord i will put my laws into their minds and i will write them on their hearts and i will be their guide and they shall be my people so when frank asked a question about he ezekiel 18 if we go further god tells what he's going to do because of their hearts because of their waverings because of their sin that he's going to change their heart he's going to put his spirit in their heart he's going to wash their heart which is why we see jesus talking about those two elements water and water and spirit giving them a brand new heart and then cause them by putting his spirit in their heart to walk in the right way this is what he says uh in this prophecy they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizens and everyone his brother saying know the lord for all will know me from the least to the greatest this is also we see this in the the prophecy in daniel nine as well but i'll leave that alone for the time being for i will be merciful to their inequities and i will remember their sins no more when he said a new covenant he has made the first obsolete but whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear i'm getting ready to my getting getting close to my shouting moment now guys just hold up i'm getting close to the shouting part now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary for for there was a tabernacle prepared the outer one in which where the lamb stands and the table and the sacred red this is called the holy place behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the holy of holies having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold in which was a golden jar erin's rod so now i'll i'll move past the decorative parts says now these things have verse verse six have been so prepared the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship but not this priest those priests did but in the second only the high priest enters once a year and i want you to pay attention to this not without taking blood so he's got to keep entering every time with blood he's got to enter every time with blood are you with me wish he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance the holy spirit is signifying this that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle still standing which is a symbol of of the present according to both gifts and sacrifices which cannot make the worshipper perfect in conscience since they relate only to food and drink and various washings regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation but when christ appeared get my organ ready but when christ appeared as high priest of the good things to come he entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is to say not of this creation and not through the not through the blood of goats and calves but through his own blood he entered the holy place once for all having obtained eternal redemption now this is where we can just preach right here notice what we just read it says not through the blood of bulls and goats but hat but through his own blood he entered the holy place once for all having obtained eternal redemption before I continue the latter part of verse 12 let's go to the first part his own blood where do we see that at now if you all have been watching for some time you know I've covered this before let's go to Leviticus back to Leviticus because Leviticus all of this is dealing with what is happening in Leviticus the day of atonement here's a part that you may not get and I want I want you to see this in your English as well as your your Hebrew he says for the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement atonement is this what we had there's three parts to it you have this covering and this counseling that ultimately makes reconciliation you've got this covering of the sin we don't see this anymore we have the canceling of debt the debt that's required is this blood offered on the altar and by faith you receive God receives that and we believe it and so because of that now we then have a right fellowship with him we become reconciled that's the good news what's so important about this is what we need to look at here in the Hebrew here we have this thing says we're in the life the life of the flesh is in the blood okay we got that he says I have given it to you I have given it to you now in English I have to say I have given it to you but not but not in Hebrew I can just simply say this word right here on your screen that's highlighted I can simply say natatin natatin is how you say in Hebrew I have given however if you want to add some more to it some more description you can say who has given right before we have the word natatin which is from the Hebrew word natan which is to give he gives natatin I have given I have given is little what this word says natatin I have given but if I say why I need or I need I need is I so now we have it written out as I have given I I have given I I have given why do I need to put I in front of the I have given here's the reason why if I want to indicate who's given it in other words a way to raise render this is I myself have given to be taken I myself am giving the blood wait a minute though how am I giving the blood god how do you give the blood you don't have blood oh yes I do how do I know so because didn't we just read in chapter one he says you're thrown oh god and then we're going to read in just a little bit I'll go ahead and jump to it we'll get to it later but he says sacrifice and offerings you did not desire but a body you have prepared for me and what did we just read here in Hebrews he says that and not through the blood of goats and calves but through his own blood he's going to bring the blood you know why because the blood that he could possibly bring the blood of bulls or goats or anybody else not good enough not sufficient where he's going to read later the blood of bulls and goats is not sufficient at least not to make a permanent one-time offering he gives his own blood like he said he's going to do in Leviticus 17 he's going to bring his own blood to bring about salvation or atonement for the souls once for all how do we know once for all because look what it says he says he entered the holy place once for all having obtained what eternal redemption stop coming back and saying that what he did on the cross wasn't sufficient that now once you're saved your redemption is not eternal what you're doing is you're misunderstanding the scriptures and you're saying his blood was not sufficient he didn't take the blood of Bessie he didn't take the blood of some goat he took the blood of his own self that's why he says a body was prepared he took his own blood and poured it out for god to accept and then by you placing faith in what he's done the bible says that your redemption is eternal everything for that for if the blood of bulls and goats and ashes a half of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled up for the sanctuary of the cleansing of flesh how much more will the blood of christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without blemish to god cleanses your conscious from dead works to serve a living guy if you could be saved by the blood of bulls and goats and that was for once a year and then jesus brings his blood and is still for once a year what are you saying about his blood think about that question guys i'm asking again if the blood of bulls and goats would save you for one year or another way of putting it if it could save you temporarily until you got out of order then when jesus gives his blood and it does the exact same thing the question is going to be why what do you if you if you say that the blood of jesus does the exact same thing does the exact same thing as the blood of bulls and goats what are you saying about his blood i'm going to tell you what he's going to say not by my words but by the writer of Hebrews let's go there verse 15 we're going to go there in just a second for this reason he is a mediator of a new covenant so that since a death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions that were committed in the first covenant those who have been called may receive the promise of what you receive what the promise of the internal inheritance this inheritance by the way that paul speaks of that we will get it but we've got this down payment to keep us until we get it meaning we're not going to lose it for where a covenant is there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it for a covenant is only valid only when men are dead for it is never enforced while the one who made it live that's why he had to die that's why he had to die therefore i'm sorry verse number 19 for when every covenant has been been spoken of by moses to all the people according to the law he took the blood of the calves and the goats with the water and scarlet wool his and sprinkled both the books itself and all the people saying this is the cover of the new blood which god commanded you and in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and the vessels verse 22 according to the law one may almost say all things are cleansed by blood and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness and look this point is important without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness if blood has been shed by jesus is there forgiveness the question is how long is it just as long as the blood of bulls and goats provided or is it different verse 23 therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in heaven to be cleansed with these but the heavenly things themselves with a better sacrifice so we know his sacrifice is better 24 for christ did not enter holy place made with hands a mere copy of the true one but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of god for us nor was it that he would offer himself look what it says often he's not offering himself often as the high priest enters the true holy i mean the holy place year by year with the blood that is not his own so he has to keep entering the high priest year after year after year with somebody else's blood no christ did it one time with his own blood otherwise this is jesus jesus would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world that's why if you could lose it if you could fall away you couldn't get it back but now once at the consummation of the ages he has manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice so he's put away sin the sin remember guys let's stop for a second and think about how the atonement is set up when you have sinned and you stand before and uh and adjust god the issue is your sin so what must the sin be it must be placed somewhere else on someone's head and taken away like in the old covenant escape go but in this case on this lamb like john said in john one look y'all look everybody the lamb of god who does what take away the sins of the world so sin have been taken away blood has been shed and and we've got this high priest who is mediating interceding on our behalf just one time just one day no forever let's continue uh the foundation of the world but now once at the consummation of ages he has been manifest to put away sin by the sinification of himself i'm sorry the sacrifice of himself and in as much as it is appointed for men once to die and after this the judgment so christ also having been offered once to bear the sins of many will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin to those who eagerly wait so now he'll come back again and gather everybody chapter 10 verse one from the law since it has only a shadow of good things to come and not only the very form of things can never by the same sacrifice which they offer continually year by year make perfect those who draw near otherwise if they could they would have would they not have ceased to be offered because the worshipers having once been cleansed would no longer have i had a constant sin in other words what does this do this yearly sacrifice would cost us this guilt this shade the reason why we're having to go before and have this and have this this this offering the reason why we need this is because we're we we stay in sin we keep sinning but i want to do away with that i don't want you to have this guilt so what does he say um verse three but in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sin year by year so you're always reminded of your sin why are you reminded of your sin because you have to have a sin offering for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and ghosts to take away sin it's impossible for the blood of bulls and ghosts to take away sin what can take away sin somebody else's blood better blood therefore when he comes to the world he says sacrifice and offerings you do not desire but a body prepared for me and whole burnt offerings that's important guys that offering couldn't take away sin but the offering that Jesus gives does so he no longer sees you or sees the sin now he understands that you do sin and the sin that you do there are consequences but in terms of our righteousness are related to him our standing with him that sin is not looked at because it's been placed on the head of the this better lag who takes away who takes away sin then i said behold i have come in the scroll of the book written of me to do your will oh god after saying above sacrifice and offerings and the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have not desire remember we got also that little truck that i showed you about the different offerings and sacrifices you can give as well you do not desire verse nine then he said behold i have come to your will he takes away the first in order to establish a second by this we will have been sanctified by this we will have been sanctified through the offering of the body of jesus christ once for all by this we will have been sanctified we have been set apart by this offering that jesus gave we will have been set aside set apart sanctified now is there still a sanctification process that we're going through as we're made better as we're growing sure but in terms of where we're going to be positionally as he's separated folks that's been done we have been sanctified through the offering of the body how long once for all guys once for all there's not this continual need to do so verse 11 every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time after time after time after time it's like sending law for law for time after time an offering time after time the same sacrifice which can never take away sins meaning that this one does take away sin but he having offered one sacrifice for sin for all time this is important guys set down the right hand of God waiting from that time on until his enemies have been made a footstool for his feet for by one offering he has perfected this for by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified that's us anyone who has been sanctified what is he doing he has perfected for all time you can't get past that guys you cannot get past that by the way this is the perfect tense meaning it was done you have been perfected all of those all you guys have been sanctified you've been perfected may not look like it sometimes but you have been perfected at least in his eyes in his sight and the Holy Spirit also testifies us after saying this is the coming that I will make with him after those days as the Lord I will put my laws upon their heart and and on their mind I will write to me says and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more now where there is penance in this part in case y'all didn't know we're still shouting the organ hadn't stopped we're still shouting this is the time where if you go to speaking tongues it's cool it's cool it's cool um now where there is forgiveness of sin there is no longer any offering of sin this part gets over shadow it gets missed if there has been a forgiveness of sin which is his blood there no longer is any more need of an offering of sin now the Jews can get this us as us as Gentiles we don't get it since there's been an offering and this offering was all that was needed there is no longer ever a need for an offering of sin but what if I sin again and I sin again and I sin some more the offering has been made guys the offering has been made so guess what there no longer is needed an offering for that sin which sin all of the sins past present and future stop coming back stop coming back and saying that your future sins have not been paid for it then you don't understand the atonement you could not understand the atonement and I don't hold it against you but just say I don't understand the atonement verse 19 therefore brother since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus you can only enter this holy place in other words be before him be before him because you're in right the only way that you can be before the Lord is that you be in right standing y'all do get that right you couldn't even pray you couldn't be before him because you're not in right standing but you are therefore brothers since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus by a new living way which he inaugurated for us through the veil that is his flesh and since we have a great priest over the house of God let us draw near how so guys with sincere heart in full assurance of faith having our hearts there's what he says in in John 3 huh having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water being born of the water and spirit let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering let us hold fast without wavering for he who promises faithful not you not you you goofy christians not you people I'm not faithful you're not faithful your mama ain't faithful your grandma no you're not faithful he's faithful he's faithful let us hold fast to the confession of our our hope without wavering for he who promise is faithful remember he who began a good work in us he is the one that's going to complete it why because he's faithful and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and to good deed not forsaken our own assembling together as is the habit of some but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day drawing in guys go to church I won't say more about that particular pastor go to church now if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth there no longer remain sacrifices for us our sins but now this is the path that people go to and say wait a second wait a second wait a second wait a second but this passage indicates that we can lose our salvation if we go on sinning willfully okay let's see the knowledge of the truth there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin I don't think folks are paying attention to this part there no longer remains a sacrifice of sin what does it sound like what what other verses we just get through reading that that this reminds you of now Morris now I'm not sure what what angle you're coming from Morris but I want to ask you guys question this for everybody if a person keeps on sinning and keeps on sinning and keeps on sinning and willfully sins willfully sins willfully sins and willfully sins and just sins after sins after sins after just keeps on sinning can that person be saved if that person keeps on sinning can he be saved he was a Christian places faith in Christ and then went to sinning willfully can he ever be saved again again could he ever be saved again some are going I agree with you I believe that he wasn't ever saved but let's just say for the sake of the other side's argument that he was saved and then he went he he fell away and started sinning and sinning and sinning willfully sinning can he ever be saved Morris says yes the Bible says no look what he says though look what it says he says if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth there is no there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins so how does he get saved then if there's no longer a sacrifice of sin if he no longer I mean if he's not safe then where is his sacrifice of sin because he's rejected what crisis oh that must be it this is the person who is rejecting what has been done but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of fire which will consume the adversaries so these folks who there has been this sacrifice they may acknowledge it they may not who knows but you willfully sin live this way of sinning there's no there's no sacrifice for you there's no anyone who has set aside the law of moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses by the way let's not forget who he's talking to let's not forget who he's talking to he's talking to these Jews now we went through this entire litany it's funny how we we we've read every well not every verse but we read but if you were to read from chapter one verse one all the way up to chapter 10 verse 25 you get the idea that you can't lose your salvation then you read 20 second 27 think well yeah yeah you can forget the first 99% of what you just read and think that because I read this that means I can lose it you're not reading well you're not reading well with all due respect you're not because what you're doing is now is you are taking the blood of Jesus and you're putting it on the same level as what he just said was better the blood of bulls and goats you can walk away from you can you can be in a you can be in right standing today and in the following year not been right standing but this blood if you place your faith in him and because if you do so you now also got the Holy Spirit in you there's a difference in that blood the debt is paid which is why he says there no longer remains a sacrifice for you there's there's no more sacrifice needed for you if where there has been forgiveness of sin there no longer is a need for a sacrifice continuing anyone who was set aside the law most dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses how much more severe punishment do you think he would deserve who has trampled underfoot the Son of God and has regarded as unclean the blood of his covenant so if you think his blood is weaker what do you get if you think the blood of Jesus is weaker than the blood of these goats the blood of these bulls that does exact if Jesus blood does the same thing has the same result as the blood of bulls and goats what is your expectation what is your expectation if the blood of Jesus now the best thing you can hope for is that you're not saved but if Jesus blood is no better than the blood of bulls and goats first of all why did you die in the first place you wasted time which he did not his blood keeps us we are cleansed as as the writers telling us forever let's keep let's keep going by the way knows how he says and has insulted the spirit of grace for we know him who said bends his mind I will pay again and the Lord will judge his people it is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of a living God but remember now look what he says but remember the former days when after being enlightened you endured great conflict of suffering partly by being made a public spectacle through the approaches and tribulations and partly by becoming shares with those who were so treated for you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and lasting one therefore look what he says guys if you think you can lose it therefore do not throw away your confidence which has a great reward for you need for you have need of endurance so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what was promised for yet in a very little while he was coming will come and will not delay my righteous one should the just shall live by faith should live by faith if he shrinks back my soul has no pleasure if he shrinks back now he's quoting who's he quoting it's quoting Old Testament passage Habakkuk that the just shall live by faith if he doesn't shrink back my soul has no pleasure in him but we are not of those who shrink back of destruction but of those who have faith in preserve persevering I'm sorry preserving the soul now the faith is the assurance of things I won't go through the faith Hall of Fame I won't go through that this is important guys and because of time I won't go through chapter 12 and 13 the latter part of 13 he's really kind of given a benediction but the point is this one by the way have you know we've covered the Trinity we've covered the parts of Calvinism I like and agree with the parts of the don't we've caught we've covered going to church but what we've really covered is why he came to do what he did again if you understand the atonement then you understand the book of Hebrews and yes it was written to these Jews who understand the atonement but there's implication the application for us as well because our sins are atoned for and we are in right standing remember Paul says that who can separate us from the one who has declared us right it's God who justifies and so if God has declared you justified there's no such passage post cross after the cross that says that anyone who's justified is no longer justified if you are justified you are justified and that's why he makes a distinction between the priests who are on earth and Christ who he stands for ever and ever making intercession intercession on our behalf you cannot lose what he has paid for why because if the debt is paid who's gonna who's gonna bring an accusation against you if Christ paid the debt which the only the main point of the atonement the atonement states the purpose of the atonement is that we have an outstanding debt against I mean on our behalf by God somebody's got to pay it Christ pays it if the debt is paid who's going to come back and say no God Corey still owes you uh no God Devante still owes you no God Layla still owes you rise and so no no no can I just put on the screen let's just go to I hadn't I hadn't intended on doing but let's just go to it that'd be Romans 8 let's drop down to 31 what then shall we say to these things if God is for us who was against us he who did not spare his own son but delivered him over for us all how will he not also with him freely give us all things who will bring a charge against God's elect that's us who is going to bring a charge against us can y'all think us hmm who who can bring a charge against us name one person name one person who's going to be able to bring a charge and I know what a guy who's going to try actually I take it back I know of several people it's going to try you all do too obviously same but then there's other folks going to bring charges against you Corey you ain't this Corey you ain't that Corey you ain't this Corey you said this wrong Corey did that wrong you need to repent whatever but who's going to bring a charge against look what he says who is going to bring a charge against guys elect God is the one who justifies oh by the way can we look at this word justifies it is the count can I ask you guys what tense you all think this in you just look at the bottom screen right below my face it is in the present active participle meaning he is the one that is justifying so now God is justifying us opium he says haters haters but haters isn't that what haters do I don't have a problem with haters doing their job y'all have to forgive me y'all have to forgive me I don't want y'all go back and watch it but listen I was during my federal tour because on my own as good and godly as I was I wouldn't watch this on my own I was once I got to prison I became a saint I became spotless and sinless though I would never do this on my own they put it on tv and I watched it I had no choice they held my head right there and forced me to watch and listen to it but what this man said he didn't say it in the godly fashion but boy he was preaching this little vulgar comedian cat williams but he said you need to get you some haters what do you say if you got 14 haters you need to figure out about it into somebody to get yourself 26 haters yes if you got if if you ain't got no haters you ain't you you're doing something wrong if ain't nobody hating on you you ain't doing it right there should be somebody somewhere who looks at you and you know for a fact that what you do you're doing with your heart there's because you're doing it right somebody gonna hate on you now if the world is cool with you we got a problem yeah your very presence your very presence should anger the world if you know that you're reading you're praying you are you are doing is you are man if salvation was up to my work I'm still doing my part now it's not up to me it's not but if you could see how I'm laboring how I'm in pain with my own sin when I mess up if you could see that if you know for a fact is only you know and you still got haters praise god get the shout matter of fact this is your one time to speak in tongues oh bye bye go to speak in tongues because these people over here are hating on you they don't know what you've been through they don't know the depth that you think and how god has brought you up let them talk matter of fact talk some more keep talking some people ask the court are you gonna respond to this person that said this are you gonna respond to that person for what for what that'd be like me going look up now at some point in time I might I might just let you shoot off all your bullets shoot off all your bullets about me say I'm this I'm that I'm a liar I'm say all look for you say all those things gotta repent keep shooting keep shooting you keep missing which means you ain't good keep shooting you ain't brought down nobody in your entire life and you think now is your time to bring me down keep on shooting keep please keep shooting keep shooting I hope you listen you made four videos make 40 more videos you did make make 500 more videos because can I take what god is doing with me and my family blessing me growing me moving me am I where I want to be where I need to be no but I'm in who I need to be I take honor I'm so thankful that you hate I'm so thankful now you're not hating on my doctrine you're not hating on the doctrine you're not hating on me matter of fact here's what's funny folks get upset because I actually go to the word and even he went to the greek they have a problem that I don't have a problem with you having a problem with that that's fine that's between you and and god and your other god yeah and I saw I saw C rocks move did that that's fine that's fine if you follow him says a whole lot about you that's cool that's cool one you know there's always somebody that that that talks a tough talk and this and that or what have you I have no problem with that I've been around literally literally killers so when this guy over here says something this guy over here weighs 127 pounds says something I do not it doesn't bother me it I promise you really didn't bother me so I'm thankful for the haters you should be too because what does he say how many haters are going to be able to bring a charge you who will bring a charge against guys elect the hater the hater and his hating people you got the crypts you got the blood you got ms 13 and then you got the world's greatest hater you got the world's greatest hating gang which is the haters the haters I don't know what the team color is I don't know what color do rag they wear it's a big group it's god who justifies and he's doing so in a continuous fashion that's why we have this word like how on who is the one who condemns who's the one condemning jesus christ is he who died yes rather who was raised who was at the right hand of god who also intercedes for us who also intercedes for us so who will separate us somebody help me out I need to know who's going to separate me who's going to separate jeff who's going to separate jenay who's going to separate from who's going to separate ready for life who's going to separate jones who is going to separate john who is going to separate caring nobody I don't care what you think you can do I don't you say something bad about me okay let the judge said 240 years I mean to why that'd be bad 240 months 20 years and you say uh courier ain't safe let's compare the two let's you you said this the judge said that by the way it was a laugh that was the last time I cared about what someone said the last time the last time there's no need for me to care about anything anymore no need for it but look what he says who will separate us from the love of look at this again who will separate us from the love of christ will tribulation no would distress no persecution no famine no naked no peril no sword no bad emails no bad tweets no bad comments no 40 videos no no satan no someone who thinks that my doctor's off no none of that will separate me now if you think that this stuff is just putting it just because you're not paying attention just as it is written for your sake we are being put to death all day along we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered but in all things we overwhelmingly conquer through him who loved us for I'm convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor things presence nor things that come nor powers nor height nor death nor any other created thing that means some human being on youtube twitter facebook what have you will be able to separate us from the love of god which is in christ jesus our lord see thank you so much for the super chat let me just say this as we're leaving the issue has got to be this one thing if indeed you are saved you're always saved but the question is if indeed you are saved if indeed you are saved you're gonna falter you're gonna mess up listen they're gonna be some days was like that guy let me wait wait a second hold up hold up uh i'm gonna message you for a second karen karen i i i i know karen saved but today karen's not having a good day oh by the way though karen's not having a good day that's why the other believers have to be around her they have hey karen listen got your back sweetheart we we with you we are we are a team we a team core you having a good day core you don't like you did not look like a christian when you cuss all them little teenagers out yeah renard what that was that was ungodly of you when you cut in front of those those uh those preschoolers in front of the ice cream truck ungodly you didn't like you didn't like a christian we're gonna have those days and all i gotta do is go ask peter peter the day that he denied christ who thought he was saved you literally out of your mouth i don't know jesus and then swore i crossed my knee to hope to die sticking in my that's what peter did there are days we don't look like there are days you don't look like it you're like a stock market go up up down up up up down up but wherever you are in life as a believer you should be able to look back and see that you're higher than you were last month last year last decade i don't know how long you've been saved but the issue is this one thing are you saved are you saved that's the issue and all you gotta do you know what he did for you you know what you you know what he did place your faith in him you know if you did it did do you trust that he died on the cross for you and then trusting you you're his he's yours and so now walk in that that's what paul says these warning passages make sure make sure that you have christ and so if that is the case the writer of hebrus is writing these jews and the application could be applied to us as well to be comforted that he's done it one time because that's all that was taken in our faith that one faith that we had in him if his true faith lasts forever amen
