Video Transcript:
now let's go on not only who god is what god has decreed what god has done in history in the gospel and in you but god will what god will do this is something that i as a christian of many many years over 30 years if there's any truth that i have to remind myself of it's this one more than any other truth you know people will say you know this is the only life you get you can't hit replay you can't hit replay this is the only life you get that's true but this is
not as good as it gets what is waiting for us future grace first corinthians 2 9 things which i has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not entered into the heart of man all that god has prepared for those who love him and don't you don't you dare because i will come down there and i will whip you don't you say ah there's the key for those who love him and i don't love him perfectly will you just stop it stop it stop doing that he doesn't love you because your love's
perfect the tauntology that we have in deuteronomy chapter seven where basically it's set before israel israel why do i love you okay i'll give you the answer israel i love you because i love you and what he's saying it came from me it was my decision i elected it i decided it i set my love on you there it is my love did not begin with you it doesn't stand with you it won't end with you it began with me stands with me ends with me i love you but i don't deserve it would you
shut up see jamie you don't have to be cultured or intelligent to preach here i'm evidence quit it there's a counseling well it's a it's a funny thing on on youtube my wife showed me the other day and she loves it because the person comes into this counselor and they tell all the problems and the counselor says well i can answer this in two words stop it stop it ephesians 2 6 and 7 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in heavenly places in christ jesus so that in the ages to
come what so that in the ages to come you can have a little cabin on a hillside somewhere no so that on the ages to come he might show the surpassing riches of his grace and kindness towards us in christ jesus god has saved you in order to demonstrate to all creation including principalities powers mites and dominions how good he is that's why he saved you and that's why he chose you not many noble not many wise not the big ones not the smart ones why did paul say why did he choose the base ones
the weak ones the ones that are not why so that he could show how good he is lavishing the greatest blessings turning over the inheritance of his own son to the worst humanity has to offer imagine if someone was getting bad press a billionaire was getting bad press that he wasn't charitable and so he just picks you and says i'm going to be i'm going to use you for a special purpose i'm going to lavish all my wealth upon you so that every time someone looks at you they understand how charitable how good how loving
and kind i am how many of you would sign up for that that's what god has done let me put it this way that when you walk in to glory it will be an object lesson for all creation [Music] even creation that we don't even know or understand and they will look at what you were what you are what god has done the grace he has poured out on you and they will worship god in a way they could have never worshipped him before if he had not done this good thing for you but then
it doesn't stop there if we could say that there is chronology or day after day in heaven if we could say such a thing so that our mind could comprehend it every day god would increase the grace lavish more and more upon you each day so that each day all of creation will look at you and have a greater vision of how god is and worship him to a greater degree [Music] folks that's a great future this is absolutely wonderful it's wonderful sometimes when i'm working on a book on the gospel and i'll come in
the office and they'll say what did you study yesterday he's wonderful he's wonderful it doesn't matter what language i know there's no word i can't it makes me so mad what's waiting you is so wonderful the one waiting you it's his name is wonderful but please saints please i'm begging you look don't live this life don't continue on you've if i could if i could give you anything if i could pray one thing for you i mean above everything else if you're truly a child of god if i could give you one gift it would
be that you would comprehend something of his love for you it'd be that really i'm tired of seeing you tired i'm tired of seeing me tired [Music] if you could i mean if you just grasp that one thing he loves me immutably [Music] and with an illustration i promise all in when i was in peru my first years as a single missionary and the moment practically from the moment i was converted this is going to sound all cycle babble i don't care it's true but when i was in school i was never like in the
inner circle not the best athlete not the best this not the best that and i determined that when i became a christian yeah it was fleshly you can do your diagnosis but please do it at home right now just listen i determined that would not happen to me in my christian life i determined that there wouldn't be this idea of their spurgeon and martin lloyd jones and all their inner circle the guys that god really loves and i'm outside somewhere i determined that would not happen and i worked 18 hours a day for years and
if i had a chance to go get martyred i tried to do it until the point where i i weigh like 225 right now i weighed about 169 pounds and i killed myself i killed myself and one day on the third floor of this old building where we took care of street kids and we had our church during the war in peru it was all bombed out and everything else and i slept in a little room on the third floor i was going up the last little flight of stairs and i collapsed and i said
this i cried out i screamed it i don't want to go to hell because i i'm afraid of hell i don't want to go to heaven because i'm ashamed just put me somewhere just put me somewhere it was at that moment that it was just a work of the lord scripture started coming to mind different things i realized yeah how fleshly everything had been how wrong i was but here's the thing i recognized god loved me loved me that i didn't have to move to the left or the right that was the thing i thought
that day i was sitting on the steps i was looking at myself and i realize i don't have to move a quarter of an inch to the left or a quarter inch to the right i don't have to be a great missionary i don't have to die as a martyr i don't have to be a great preacher i don't have to do anything because it is all in it's god it's in god he did it all he made the decision he carries it through he brings it to its end i am loved what a wonderful
release that it's just him it's him for every once i'll say i'll take a puritan statement and modernize it for every every one glance you take to yourself in the mirror take ten long looks at god and his love you're loved this is a terrible thing about being a preacher i'm trying to tell you something i'm trying to get something through your thick head and it is this god really really really does love you immutably so perfectly so and it is all founded upon him his person his decrees his work through christ on your behalf
all of it it's done it's done you've got to walk in that you've got to keep yourselves in the love of god you've got to keep thinking it believing it walking in it talking it fighting to believe it if necessary believe it you're loved if you're here today and you're not a christian and all those things i said about the holiness of god being a wonderful joy to the believer it's a terror to you it's a terror the only way it changes is in christ come to christ and some of you who are so storm
tossed believers you're so storm tossed and afflicted just oh that god would use what said here today to prove to your heart and your mind that you are deeply and dearly loved let's pray father god please please please [Music] break through lord every wall that people would that we would all have a greater and firmer grasp on your settled royal covenantal love in jesus name you
