Evangelism Dr Myles Munroe

so I Surrender against any Ministry or any believer who has no interest in people needs to recheck their salvation any church body who has no hunger to see people come to Christ needs to revisit the their own pool of Salvation because God's purpose has never changed I want to begin with this verse of script scripture because it tells us what God loves God's passion his love is already been expressed To Us by Jesus in John 3: 16 let's read it out loud together to please for God so loved the world that he gave his only

begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life look at verse 17 for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved God is very clear about his passion what does God love what does God love the world I believe that we thought that God loved the church God loves the world he loves the people who are trapped under the rulership of the kingdom of darkness why does he love them we want to discover that today why does

God love man so much why does God love man God never says he loves the Angels I've read the Bible through many times and I've never found one verse where it ever says God loves his angels God doesn't love or did he ever say he loves cherubim or seraphim God never says he loves his plants or his animals he never says he loves nature but God specifically constantly keeps saying I love man and this is why God gave his only self his son to redeem mankind the question is why does God loves man love man

so much why is God focus on human it so much and by the way the closer you get to God you begin to love what he loves so you can always tell how close you are to God by what you love the most and if you begin to love people and care about people it's a sign that you are close to God let me show you how that works you know in our ministry here we must constantly remind our ourselves of our divine CA what's the cost that we must stay on it's not getting blessed

but winning Souls can I hear an amen am if you do what God wants what he desires God will give you what you need to do it so write down these statements again in review number one God's Divine cause is to reconcile man back to God secondly he wanted and still wants to reconcile man back to their purpose in God thirdly God wants to reconcile man back to their true potential to become all they were born to be and fourthly God wants to reconcile all men back to their Kingdom Dominion to give them back what

he gave adam in the garden fourthly fifthly rather God wants to reconcile man back to their leadership mandate for them to take charge of life again and number six God wants to reconcile us back to his will for us we must get back to that cause God's number one priority is reconciliation of man back to him salvation now the word reconciliation is used in scripture to describe also our assignment those of you who work in the bank you know the word reconciliation very well uh you also know the word consilient or consolidate and these words

are important because they describe what God's program is for man to concile means to make one to concile means to make one consolidation means to make one if you got many bills and the bank says they recommend consolidation they're telling you to to let them pay all of your bills off and you only pay them one bill it's called consolidation to make one well the Bible says that God was in Christ reconsolidating man back to himself he was making man one again with himself so the entire plan of God is to make you one with

him again now notice the Bible never says I will consolidate man but what the Bible does teach is that he will reconsolidate man reconciliation means you used to be one but we're going to make you one how again so you used to be one with God and we were broken off from from God and now God's greatest passion is to bring us back to him therefore he wants to reconcile man back to God and he did what was necessary to do it he gave his only son that as many as believed on him could be

reconsolidated to God that's why the whole world needs to come through Jesus Christ now you and I have already if you believe of course because you've been saved you've been salvaged you've been reconciled back to God so we are called church church means called out ones appointed ones who have been appointed by God now what is our appointment let's read it first 2 Corinthians chapter 5 is why God appointed you when you was reconciled to God then what did he want you to do let's read this out loud together second Cor Ians 5:18 says together

all this is from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ and then gave us the ministry of reconciliation that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ not counting man's sins against them and he was committed to us the message of reconciliation he's done what committed to to us what message the message of reconciliation that's our assignment read on therefore we are Christ ambassadors we've been sent by the government of God to go into all the world until every human being they can come back to citizenship in the kingdom and that is why

the word Ambassador is used an ambassador is an appointed political leader by the government and the president of a country or a king to go into a foreign land and represent that country there now uh two weeks ago I went to the American Embassy because I wanted to get a visa to go into the United States my Visa was up this month and so I had to go and get a visa when I went to that place I couldn't go to the Bahamian Embassy to get American visa I couldn't go to a Haitian Embassy to

get a Visa I couldn't go to the Mexican embassy I had to go to which Embassy in other words the country you want to go into determines the embassy you got to [Applause] visit so if you want to go to heaven you can't go to Allah amen if you want to go to the country called Heaven you cannot go to the city councilman of Buddha when Jesus said I I am the way he was not being factious or he was not putting down the other embassies but he says I am he who came down from

heaven I came down from heaven he says and I am the only one that came down from heaven he kept repeating that now others came from other places hyi came from Ethiopia so if you want to go to Ethiopia you can go to Ethiopian Embassy find the Ambassador and get your visa but if you want to go to heaven you got to go to the Ambassador that was sent from heaven and he will provide you with your Visa now the problem is every human being is a citizen of Heaven all of them six billion of

them are ciens of heaven but they lost their immigration status and their visa was cancelled in Genesis chter 3 so even though they were former citizens they they need to go back to the Embassy and meet the Ambassador and receive their visa they need to be reinstated as Citizens God sent the Ambassador Jesus Christ to the Earth the forign territory to get the citizens back into the country listen to me carefully when I went to the Embassy uh the the gentleman who's in charge of the Visa Department came to me personally and met me he

dealt with me personally and I was very humbled by that but what shocked me was this he said I watch you on television I love your ministry I love your books I listen to your ministry and your tapes and you are an awesome man and he gave me all this accolades then he said fill out this [Applause] form you got the point it doesn't matter what title you got who you are what you did what you accomplish if you want to get into my country you still need a visa some of you got the Revelation

if you want to go to heaven you don't you don't bring your titles to God and tell him all these great things you've done he wants to know is it [Applause] stamped no matter who I was it meant nothing to that man God may even say to you you're doing good you know he said to me you are a great man God says many will say to me I heard you say Lord Lord but I still can't let you in I do not know you the people that you are working with today are your responsibility

now listen to me carefully he sent his son to be the ambassador let me explain what our job is especially beginning this year as we go forward in 2006 and 7 and 8 and the year 200 10 we have to take up with Zeal again our assignment let me tell you who Jesus is in technical terms Jesus right now is colon Powell now colon Powell was appointed by President Bush as the Ambassador now he's about to soon be replaced by another person who will take up the next turn condalisa rice she's being appointed by the

president to be the ambassador in the Bahamas there is the ambassador who is called the Minister of Foreign Affairs in America they call them the secretary of state that position is the chief ambassador now what's amazing is the chief Ambassador is the boss of all the other ambassadors throughout the world that represent America the chief Ambassador is the boss for all the other ambassadors throughout the world representing the Bahamas everybody following me yeah so Mr Fred Mitchell at the moment who is our foreign affairs minister he is the boss of all the ambassadors of the

Bahamas he's the chief boss but he's also an ambassador his job is to train the other ambassadors his department is responsible for all the other ambassadors to train them to care for them to make sure they get their needs met and to make sure they have what they need to carry the jobs he got to make sure he feeds them and give them cars and give them money and clothing in other words that department pays for the whole Embassy work yes in including the workers Jesus is Heaven's Secretary of State amen now follow me he

appointed ambassadors let's read it again God who reconciled us to himself through Christ Jesus has now given us the same Ministry of reconciliation so now it's your job and my job to be ambassadors and our boss is Jesus are you with me now when I went to the American Embassy last week I didn't go to Bush but the man who meant me represented Bush secondly I didn't need to go to Washington for Bush to give me a Visa and I didn't need to go to colon power in Washington to get it cuz the guy in

Nassau Bahamas at the office had the same Authority that colon Powell has cuz colon gave it to him so when he gave me the permission to come in America it was colon giving me permission and it was Bush giving me permission because the Ambassador is in the local environment it says here you are to carry the message of reconciliation to all men they are already forgiven do you see that verse there it says he has already forgiven them he doesn't count their sins against them but they still don't have a Visa let me tell you

something here you are as a Bahamian right now in the Bahamas and you don't have no police record problems you have a clean life you never did anything wrong but you still can't go to America and travel through the world through America without a Visa my point is this they have nothing against you but you still can't come this is deep he has already forgiven your sins but you got to do something to get the [Applause] visa they're not against you but if you want to come to the country even though you ain't done nothing

wrong you still got to go through the process my point is you can't just say well I've been a good person all my life I ain't never steal lied cheated and I ain't never drank liquor and never smoke cigarettes and I was always good God said but you still ain't saved amen I ain't against you and not only that what makes it worse is my government has already paid for all of your sins but you still have to come to the Ambassador and our job is to bring people to the Embassy and to the Ambassador

and give them the privilege of getting their visa for heaven that's why you and I must begin to activate our passion for people it's our job it's our responsibility last week just before I went to California I heard the American ambassador on one of our local radio stations and it was amazing that here he was from another country on our local station and he was talking about how easy it is to go to his country he said beham us have no problems he said all they got to do is come to the Embassy in other

words he was he was actually inviting people yes come but you still got to go through the process but you and I are supposed to go on all the radio stations of life amen in people's air amen at the job place in the family on the buses on the streets in the marketplace and say to them hey you know uh the government's already paid for all your sins and I can actually get your visa for you is that simple our country Heaven is so awesome that it has appointed every citizen to be an ambassador that

means you don't need to bring them to the Embassy you are the mobile Embassy so don't bring them to Pastor to get them saved they can get their visa right with you you can open the office right where you are and say we are ready for business right now and you can get their visa stamped right in your presence and let them go rejoicing that they are on their way to Glory now you bring them to the Embassy in in order for them to learn about the [Applause] Constitution that's why we come here they also

come here to learn about how to live in our society called The Heavenly Society you come here to learn our culture the culture from Heaven you come here to learn about the other citizens and get to make friends with other citizens because we are one big family that's why we come here but but our job is to go out and reconcile all of our brothers who have been lost to come back and receive their visa in Jesus name Give the Lord a hand that we're going to do that in Jesus name the Bible says in

verse 21 God made him who knew no sin to be sin for us watch this so that we might be made what the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus what is righteousness now you see the relationship it means right positioning with the government in other words God used Jesus Christ to bring us back in right relationship with the government of heaven so the Redemptive work is to bring us back in line with the right standing with the King our Lord and your job is to keep bringing P people back to alignment bring them back to

alignment so they can get under the government protection of Heaven that is our responsibility and that's God's number one passion I say this question why does God love man this is very important to remember and this is a review again write this down God loves man first of all because God is in love with himself this is an incredible Revelation I saw years ago it changed my life God loves man because God loves who [Applause] himself number two God loves man because God created man so he could see himself all the time God loves himself

so much he wants to see it every time he opens his eyes he wants to see himself so God created you so he could see himself and when God sees himself he loves himself [Applause] you know the heavens declare the glory of God but the Bible says you possess it when God looks at a bird he doesn't see himself he sees his handyworks but when he looks at you he sees his image God loves man because Man was created just for God to love him that what you talking about today here's a woman who gave

a testimony this morning saying she had a problem with God and she asked these questions to God why why why God just shut up I love you period I love you that's it that should answer all your questions which means whatever you may be allowed to go through is simply My Prerogative [Applause] Hallelujah you can do nothing to make God love you there's nothing good enough for you to do to make God love you can I prove it while you were yet a [Applause] sinner you don't need to do good for God to like you

so don't clean yourself up first and then okay when I get my life right then I'll come to church what are you talking about ain't nothing you could get right for God to love you and accept you clap your hands praise God he died even before you knew you was dirty he weren't even aware that you needed help and he died for you so how dare we try to help ourselves first before we come to God Man was created just for God to love him everybody say amen I hope you get this message that means

every time you see a human you see God's Target for love Hallelujah write this down please God loves man because God is committed to man because he's committed to himself God will not let himself fail that's why you will succeed [Applause] it's a good place to shout God will not let you lose because he is not a loser that is why God Came From Heaven put on flesh died on the cross shed his blood paid the price that he said oh Lord have mercy uh let me try this cuz this gets a little deep in

my own Spirit the Lord said to me that the Redemptive price was not set by Satan come on listen look at me please listen this is very important we keep thinking that the devil told God you got to pay this to get them not true God set the price himself God says the day you eat you will surely die who speaking God caes the day you eat I have to make sure you die you do the de the devil is do death the devil is the tempter not the killer the Killer is your Disobedience the

day you eat he says you will surely die now God was setting the standard for life and death he said look if you obey me you live if you disobey me you die God is establishing the price when man disobeyed God death was inevitable but God loved himself so much he decided that he would pay the price he set so that man wouldn't have to die lift your hands and thank God for paying the price lift your hands and thank God for paying the price you activated the price so you were supposed to pay it

lift your hands and thank God for paying the [Applause] price Hallelujah it can get you after I'm gone he didn't do anything you did but he paid the price the price that he said God did not die for man because God was sorry for man God died for man because God loved himself you're getting it slowly so how dare you go into Monday and Tuesday thinking you are alone how dare you walk into Wednesday this week and Thursday afraid of the future when and the only reason why you walking is was for someone to love

you just love me right through all my problems all my business dealing all my job all through the traffic he's just loving [Applause] me his love is what he's committed to himself write this down why does God love man because Jesus came to restore God's image back to man and he wanted God's image to be restored back to God when man sinned the image of God was distorted so God every time he looked at man he didn't see his perfect self [Applause] so God says I got to clean this up there's some dirt on my

image I'm going to use some blood dip it in Grace and I'm going to clean so I could see myself again that is what Redemption is all about he redeemed himself back to himself God was in Christ reconciling the image of the world back to himself it says [Music] God wants you to look good because when you look good God looks good that's why it hurts him when you sin it hurts him when you disobey the laws that keep you perfect it hurts him when you walk away from the path and begin to stray into

the dirt in the mud say this with me I will do right I will do right to make God look good make God look good if you understand it just clap your hands just one more time that's why you do right you don't do right so you don't go to hell you do right because you don't want god's picture to be spoiled amen so whatever you're doing right now that is endangering the image of God in the name of Jesus the King stop it today right now let this be the meeting where you put aside

every weight that easily besets you there's some places you cannot go why it doesn't make God look good to find you there young people I know the Temptation out there but there's some places you shouldn't be caught as a member of this church right and some of you older folks there's some place you shouldn't be caught also as a member of this body because it doesn't make God look good how many times have anyone ever said to you what you doing here and I mean these are sinners talking to you and Heaven Help Us worse

if it's to y'all saying what you doing here and you answer what you do in here in other words ain't nothing us supposed to be here may God forgive us for distorting his Perfect Image the one he paid to clean I say this to you write this down why does God love man to love man is is to love himself you were made in God's image and God loves himself what a wonderful reminder of his goodness his grace this is the best news in the world isn't it and guess what every single person all of

the billions of people in the world he feels the same way about them stop hating people because they don't know the truth hallelujah just because somebody is a rasor you hate them no they just don't know the truth yet because somebody may be an atheist or claim to be or a Buddhist or a Muslim or a Hindu you get all uptight I can't and mix with them y y y y listen they are simply living in darkness the Bible says and you are what the light of the world you don't run from Darkness you go

to it because you are the solution to Darkness you are the ambassador of light the good news that you can get your visa back that you are looking for a country you can't find and I know how to get you back to the country praise God I'm proud of you Ron you're right in the right place in politics you are an ambassador imagine they think that you're just an MP you got a higher position you an ambassador in that bank where you work you an ambassador in that hospital where you are a nurse you an

ambassador they think you're just a nurse or a carpenter you a mechanic m- you are an ambassador who is in the role of a mechanic you a teacher the classroom is your world and your job is to give all those kids access to the Visa that's what you are in that hotel where you work you are Heaven's Ambassador positioned in that place may God give us love for himself I say may God give us love for himself why does God love man look at Psalm 8 I love it it says what is man God is

asking the question through David what is man that your mind is full of him what is man what is man that your mind is full of him why is your mind so full of man all you think about is man your mind is full up of man God thinks nothing except man the Bible says mind is full of you he wakes up he never sleep does he his mind is full he thinks about you 24 hours a day while you sleeping he's watching over [Applause] you while you were yet a sinner means that even before

you knew you were a sinner he had you on his mind while you were yet a sinner Christ what died for you he said what is man that you are mindful of the son of man that you even care for him what makes you care about humans by the way I I was reading National Geographic got my copy in the mail last month and they got another story you know on the discoveries and they discovered that they discovered an additional set of uh of galaxies so now it's gone up to 600 million galaxies a galaxy

is where they got solar systems in in together can you fathom that solar systems make up a Galaxy they found 600 million galaxies so that's trillions upon trillions of planets and stars and Suns like ours and the Bible says all God's thinking about is you see when I read science I Fall In Love With God more because it's making me aware that I must be the top of the list praise God God ain't never died for Venus or Mars or Jupiter or Uranus he died for you he deserves a big praise like that that little

clap hand he ain't going to bless him right you got to give him thanks his mind is on you thank you Jesus I say thank you Lord it says your your mind is on me and you care for me what is so valuable about me that's the question he answers it he says you made made me a little lower than the Heavenly being the word there is Elohim which means God you made man a little lower than yourself that means he is an offspring of God himself that's why he loves you because you are his

baby hello baby baby you are God's baby that's why you are called children of God nowhere in the Bible have I ever seen any reference of an Angel being called a child of [Applause] God you are God's Offspring when he looks at you he looks at himself matter of fact let me tell you how deep this goes very simply deep if you have a child and you hate that child you hate [Applause] yourself that's why when you get married it if you hate your wife no one should trust you why because the woman came out

of the man that's his baby baby and nothing strange Hebrews Ephesians rather chapter 6 says if a man hates his wife he hates himself she's his offspring never trust a man who doesn't love his wife and some of you women are going up with men who married you crazy you think he loves you he never gave you a ring the one he gave the ring to he cheating on her so you know he don't love you don't be a fool he hates himself I just wonder how stupid we can be to believe the guy he

telling you he love you and he got a wife you know he lying and you so stupid not you the other person next to you you are so stupid you believe the [Applause] guy he hates himself that's why he can't love anybody can't love anybody very important but look at this you made him little Lo and angels and you crowned him with Glory and honor and you made him ruler over the works of your hands David says here's why you love him so much and you put everything under your baby feet but this verse makes

me feel chill BS God not only loves you he gave you everything first says he made you just like him and then he got so excited but the baby is a splitting image of daddy he says wow and he just grabbed the UR gave it to the kid say take that that's your toy rule that I love the way it's said in Genesis 1:26 it's so beautiful it says and God said let us have some babies called man oh and let them have dominion over this let's take this planet of the whole set y miss

that that's a good one he looked at the whole universe he said let's take this whole planet this one right here yeah that that one we can give that to the kids you all play with that give Lord thanks for the whole world have dominion over the fish and the birds and the cattle and the trees and the bees and the plants and the rivers and the gold and the silver come on kids enjoy your play pen give God thanks you going into your play pen this week and you're going to begin to enjoy the

wealth of your father's house this is his love for his baby he loves his baby why did God love man cuz God created man to share his rulership he want you to experience what Daddy feels every day how it feels to run a universe he gave you your own little Universe to run that's why you're supposed to be the best in your business the best in your career the best in your job and then hold a job for a while but be on your way to your own business cuz you got rulership Authority you got

leadership capacity you got the power to rule [Applause] things you know Dr richen I appreciate you I was talking to the president of G of Guyana and he when he heard me speak he said uh how can I get more of this I said we have an association and a school he wants to apply to be a member of a twiler the president of Guyana now those you who from Guyana you all know that uh he uh was a Hindu last week next week I'm going to show you some photographs folks from Guyana I'm going

to show you me and the president praying praying and receiving listen God is bringing people into the Kingdom at all levels but you got to love people [Applause] this teaching is important because you've lost your love for people that's why you haven't witnessed for the last three years haven't LED anyone to Jesus all last two years I mean think about it you haven't LED one person to Christ and you keep asking God for car and [Applause] house when did you last pray for someone to receive Christ man in your presence where you let them you

don't love people you're too busy you ain't got time of people too busy too busy making a living too busy trying to make money and God says my passion is Souls not money got to get back on course but the reason why we don't love people is because we don't understand man and that's why the Lord told me to teach this we need to understand who we sitting next to again look at [Applause] this how do you love God okay let me ask you a question how many of you love God let me see your

hands oh don't be nervous just if you say you love God hold your hand up okay uh okay one more time how many of you love God okay God hold up hold up I want I want him to take a picture of that thank you okay he got a shot now he going to talk to you after I'm finish this series next week yes we say we love God I'm not sure it's easy to say you love God but God has a test to prove whether you love him or not first of all we love

God by loving man uh-oh now you just spoiled it pastor because I I ain't got no DY for people and when this service out I gone I dashing past everybody I go into my car I won't get to that TV to that food or that fasting plate hopefully I I'm out of here I ain't got no time I I don't want want to come in my space I am introvert I'm shy I don't like her anyhow I don't like half of them and you say you love God the Bible says if you love God do

good to them all men especially see God got a test especially those of the household of faith brother Scott's good to see you this morning praise God that's my papa stand up brother Scott is a man of God stand up let's give him a big hand good to see you in church today it's one a great men of God thank you so much that's Debbie's father I love you I love you in Jesus name amen we need to love people if we say we love God Amen that's right it gets worse look at the next

one it is impossible to love God and hate mankind impossible possible because if God's image is every man and you say you love God how can you hate his image number three it gets worse any religion that promotes hate and the destruction of mankind is anti- good and this is where I fall into problems with the other religions this is the the test of whether a religion is from Jehovah or from some other demonic Spirit the only war that God declared was the war on [Applause] sin and the only war that God died in was

the war on sin and the only hero that Jesus Christ is a hero of the only War he's a hero of is the he is the war of sin one time the disciples were terrorists you know they were terrorists you know that especially James and John they were definitely terrorists read the Bible the Bible says James and John came to Christ one day and they said Master there's a group down the street who are also having a nice Ministry uh and they ain't a part of us they don't worship like us sounds familiar he they

said look call down fire from heaven and burn them up what I hey I'm quoting the Bible these two guys were [Applause] terrorists they hated people and was trying to be with God Jesus laid into these guys I mean he didn't wait for a second first of all first of all he asked him a question he says where did you get this Spirit from I'm quoting the Bible in other words the desire for people to die is not from God I I just I just wish she was dead that's demonic they don't come to our

ministry so they got to be of the devil you got a satanic spirit how can you say you love God and hate his image Jesus says where did you get this Spirit from and then he told him this he said I did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them and then he says and I have sheep who are not of this fold in other words I got folks who are working on and they ain't with your group but they are my image and I want you to love them the way I love

them even though they are different from the way you are they are still my image lift your hands ask God to forgive you right now father forgive me come on repent change your mind right now go back to work and care about the secretary go back to work and care about the one who makes the tea in the office who you never speak to and still drink the tea go back to the work and and love that boss who didn't give you a promotion or who didn't give you a bonus this Christmas go back and

love him why that's the image of God in that office amen can't say you love God and hate the image impossible look at this if you love God you will love man why simple love for mankind is your measure of your love for God if you love God you see his image every day you sitting next to it and you you keep telling God you love him but don't love the people around you then you are a liar sounds bad doesn't it The Greatest Love Is The Love for God that's the greatest love in the

world which means that the greatest love is the love for people because if you love God you love his image my Matthew 22:36 says teacher what is the greatest commandment in the whole law that was the question the disciples asked him what is the greatest commandment you know and and uh a few other people asked him that too the rich young guy came and asked him I mean people just came asking what what what is the number one law of God what is the greatest commandment in the law the greatest thing that you could do

Jesus replied love the Lord your God but every image that's in this building is the image of God that's God's image so if the greatest commandment is to love God then the great command is to love one another and if we love people we care about their Destiny we care about their future we don't want to go to hell and die cuz they weren't supposed to go to hell they have citizenship already they just don't know how to get their visa love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul with all

your mind with all your strength I love it and this is the first and the greatest commandment he says and the second is just like the first love your neighbor as much as you love yourself all the law and prophecies are built on this one law he says is that straight to the point the greatest commandment is to love God and then he says oh by the way now by the way the guy only asked him one question right he gave him two answers he didn't want two answers he just asked one question what is

the number one law he said number one law has two answers one you love God and two you love yourself and then you love your neighbor as much as you love yourself why cuz when you love God you'll see yourself I'm getting home now when you love God when you get close study explore understand I mean just get into God you begin to see hey I got his image too I'm just like my father and then when you look around you see your brother your brother also is made just like him and so you see

yourself again if you love God you won't Rush past people and not check on them see how they're doing if you love God you will not ignore people standing in the hall or don't go speak to you who you don't know that's God's image go introduce yourself to it but I don't know her she don't speak to me he walk past me he's who you think he is listen go interrupt and say hey excuse me you know who I am I'm miles I'm important to know hello you you need to know me why I'm just

like [Applause] you you can't ignore the image of God don't walk past the image by the way the book star is open take the image for something to drink you pay for it of course bless God with a drink we don't even think about it I am always giving to people why because I live with this awareness that they are the image I give to people I give to people I give to people I respect people I give them time I love them and the reason listen I don't fake this thing I genuinely care about

you why I understand who you are see some folks got to put it on they got to pretend okay they say h no man I get to her God today wow come here God I love you [Applause] God it's [Applause] love let me close with this Genesis 1 126 and God said let us make man in our own image and our likeness and let them have dominion Genesis 6:6 whoever shares the blood of Man by man shall his blood be shared why for the image of God has been destroyed you see why capital punishment is

so important capital punishment has nothing to do with killing read that verse all these people against Capital punish I say well you know you know just as bad as the murderer no you ain't capital punishment is designed not to deal with death but to deal with life it protects the image of humanity it preserves the value of humanity if you kill me and they give you 10 years then I was only worth 10 years you've reduce my value the only way you can replace five bucks perfectly is with another $5 amen so you take $5

from me and then they gave you and then they give me three back they've reduced the value of my $5 so God says if you kill another human then the reason why I take your life is to make sure the value remains perfect nothing to do with death it reserves and preserves life so when you see another human being don't ignore that image God loves his image so much he will replace it with another image and that's what capital punishment is 1 Corinthians 15:1 15 write it down he is the image of the invisible God

the firstborn of all creation for by him all things were created referring to Jesus he is your replacement image cuz you were made in the image and it says he is the image also that's why God had to send himself to fix you because he had to keep the image perfect this is the good news this is the good news the mission of the church therefore is to expose the image of God created after the nature of Christ 2 Corinthians 4 says and even if your gospel is veiled it is veiled to those who are

perishing the God of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers that they cannot see the light of the Glorious Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ who is what the image of God that's why folks ain't coming to Christ he says Satan's number one goal is to Veil their eyes so they can see their own image and Christ came to show them who they are so he keeps veiling blinding them so they can't see the good news that they are just like their father and so they live below their privilege to love God is to
