[1131.74 --> 1132.26] And they have this |
[1132.26 --> 1133.52] ulterior motive going on |
[1133.52 --> 1134.70] and it's not wholesome at all. |
[1135.40 --> 1135.88] But, you know, |
[1135.94 --> 1137.56] they're boasting in that. |
[1138.68 --> 1139.84] And then Paul responds, |
[1140.38 --> 1141.78] if I boast, |
[1142.66 --> 1143.70] if I boast, |
[1143.94 --> 1146.28] it is only in the cross. |
[1149.54 --> 1151.12] Vain glory people |
[1151.12 --> 1152.20] boast in all kinds of things, right? |
[1152.26 --> 1154.14] Money, success, strength, winning, |
[1154.66 --> 1156.20] how smart they are, |
[1156.24 --> 1156.94] all kinds of things. |
[1157.26 --> 1158.22] They're always boasting |
[1158.22 --> 1158.78] about something. |
[1159.16 --> 1161.08] I boast in Christ's sake |
[1161.08 --> 1162.60] saving me and transforming me, |
[1162.94 --> 1163.88] nothing else. |
[1167.62 --> 1169.40] If you want real transformation, |
[1170.06 --> 1171.68] that's the only boasting you can do. |
[1172.76 --> 1174.06] You focus on the cross. |
[1174.62 --> 1175.96] Well, how often do you focus |
[1175.96 --> 1176.42] on the cross? |
[1176.54 --> 1176.88] Daily. |
[1177.58 --> 1178.26] Pick up your cross, |
[1178.34 --> 1178.70] follow me. |
[1179.50 --> 1179.86] Daily. |
[1180.28 --> 1182.26] Things won't change |
[1182.26 --> 1184.04] until you start with |
[1184.04 --> 1186.26] and focus on |
[1186.26 --> 1188.12] the doctrine of atonement. |
[1188.12 --> 1188.68] What is that? |
[1188.74 --> 1192.38] The belief that you've been saved |
[1192.38 --> 1193.86] through the work of Christ. |
[1194.06 --> 1195.36] Well, that's kind of a one-time decision, |
[1195.48 --> 1195.74] isn't it? |
[1195.92 --> 1196.38] No. |
[1196.70 --> 1197.96] That's a daily thing. |
[1198.20 --> 1200.32] You focus daily on the cross. |
[1200.56 --> 1201.64] You focus on the fact |
[1201.64 --> 1203.76] that you have been saved |
[1203.76 --> 1205.22] because you needed it. |
[1205.22 --> 1207.90] But it's more than that. |
[1209.58 --> 1210.50] We're reading a book |
[1210.50 --> 1212.38] as a staff |
[1212.38 --> 1214.90] from John Mark Cormer |
[1214.90 --> 1216.68] called Practicing the Way. |
[1218.06 --> 1218.84] And at one point he says, |
[1218.94 --> 1220.48] salvation, rightly understood, |
[1221.08 --> 1222.90] is the healing of the whole person. |
[1224.36 --> 1225.18] Okay, so salvation |
[1225.18 --> 1226.68] isn't just a one-moment decision. |
[1227.04 --> 1228.20] That one-moment decision matters. |
[1228.52 --> 1228.82] But it's not, |
[1228.96 --> 1230.16] salvation is much more than that. |
[1230.52 --> 1232.50] It's this whole person |
[1232.50 --> 1234.96] that needs to be saved |
[1234.96 --> 1235.86] and renewed |
[1235.86 --> 1236.72] and transformed |
[1236.72 --> 1238.26] for the rest of your life. |
[1238.96 --> 1240.18] And then John Mark Cormer goes on. |
[1240.22 --> 1240.46] He says, |
[1240.70 --> 1243.02] so we can't self-save |
[1243.02 --> 1245.80] and we have been saved |
[1245.80 --> 1247.32] and are being saved |
[1247.32 --> 1248.60] and will be saved |
[1248.60 --> 1250.46] by Jesus and Him alone. |
[1254.12 --> 1254.64] Oh. |
[1255.96 --> 1257.14] You mean it's not just saying |
[1257.14 --> 1257.90] I believe that? |
[1258.22 --> 1259.44] You mean it's the transformation |
[1259.44 --> 1260.74] of everything about me? |
[1260.94 --> 1261.26] Yes. |
[1261.78 --> 1262.66] Yeah, that's what it is. |
[1263.70 --> 1265.34] And so we focus on the cross. |
[1265.58 --> 1266.76] We focus on Christ |
[1266.76 --> 1267.68] and His work. |
[1267.94 --> 1269.84] We start there every time. |
[1270.50 --> 1271.10] Too many, |
[1271.26 --> 1272.36] too many Christians |
[1272.36 --> 1273.86] forget that they actually |
[1273.86 --> 1275.40] needed a Savior |
[1275.40 --> 1276.72] and still do. |
[1280.18 --> 1281.30] It's interesting to me. |
[1282.00 --> 1283.42] I see Jesus throughout the gospel |
[1283.42 --> 1284.50] trying to get His disciples |
[1284.50 --> 1286.10] to grasp their need |
[1286.10 --> 1287.20] for a Savior on the cross. |
[1287.62 --> 1288.40] I'm going to read a little bit |
[1288.40 --> 1289.36] out of Matthew 16. |
[1289.70 --> 1290.44] But just setting up, |
[1290.74 --> 1291.38] Jesus and the disciples |
[1291.38 --> 1292.22] walk along and, |
[1292.78 --> 1293.02] you know, |
[1293.16 --> 1293.94] at one point, |
[1294.62 --> 1295.26] Peter says, |
[1295.86 --> 1296.54] when Christ says, |
[1296.60 --> 1297.36] who am I? |
[1297.62 --> 1298.00] Peter says, |
