[666.96 --> 668.56] We used to serve |
[668.56 --> 669.14] the world, |
[669.24 --> 670.28] to use Jesus' words. |
[670.54 --> 671.48] We used to serve |
[671.48 --> 672.42] the world that stands |
[672.42 --> 673.82] in rebellion against God. |
[674.08 --> 675.44] We used to be devoted |
[675.44 --> 676.10] to the world, |
[676.20 --> 677.58] which is Satan's domain, |
[678.20 --> 679.46] seeking full autonomy |
[679.46 --> 680.36] from its maker, |
[680.84 --> 681.90] judging for ourselves |
[681.90 --> 682.96] what is right and wrong. |
[684.30 --> 686.08] This is the exact same way |
[686.08 --> 687.68] Satan tempts Eve |
[687.68 --> 688.22] in the garden, |
[688.34 --> 688.74] isn't it? |
[689.54 --> 690.28] He says, |
[691.02 --> 692.02] don't listen to God. |
[692.38 --> 693.80] You will surely not die |
[693.80 --> 694.72] when you eat of this fruit, |
[694.88 --> 696.02] but you shall live |
[696.02 --> 697.14] and you shall have |
[697.14 --> 698.10] your eyes open |
[698.10 --> 699.88] and you will be |
[699.88 --> 701.56] like God. |
[702.36 --> 703.48] Putting ourselves |
[703.48 --> 704.72] on the same level |
[704.72 --> 705.18] as God. |
[705.28 --> 706.08] That's the temptation. |
[706.34 --> 707.16] That's the lie. |
[707.98 --> 708.96] And that's what Satan's saying. |
[709.18 --> 710.94] You shall be like God. |
[711.00 --> 712.14] And then what's the end here? |
[712.86 --> 715.52] Knowing good and evil. |
[716.58 --> 718.06] Taking that right judgment |
[718.06 --> 719.02] away from God |
[719.02 --> 719.74] and saying, |
[720.12 --> 720.80] we know better. |
[721.34 --> 721.70] God, |
[721.94 --> 723.30] I know better than you. |
[723.62 --> 724.46] I know what's right. |
[724.64 --> 725.42] I know what's wrong. |
[725.68 --> 726.64] I am the master |
[726.64 --> 727.72] of my own life. |
[728.48 --> 730.00] That is the lie |
[730.00 --> 731.36] that we are tempted with. |
[732.52 --> 733.28] And so here, |
[733.44 --> 734.62] even in our passage, |
[736.02 --> 737.46] what John is telling us, |
[737.88 --> 739.50] what John is describing for us |
[739.50 --> 741.54] is that same old human story, |
[741.84 --> 743.06] that same old struggle |
[743.06 --> 744.30] against our flesh, |
[744.58 --> 745.54] our sinful natures. |
[745.54 --> 747.14] And then he goes further |
[747.14 --> 747.94] in our passage |
[747.94 --> 750.14] and he names the three roots |
[750.14 --> 752.18] of what we used to belong to. |
[752.60 --> 753.98] When we used to love |
[753.98 --> 754.92] and follow the ways |
[754.92 --> 755.60] of this world, |
[756.36 --> 758.34] this world is rooted |
[758.34 --> 760.04] in these three things. |
[760.20 --> 761.46] The lust of the flesh, |
[761.76 --> 762.98] the lust of the eyes, |
[763.04 --> 764.32] and the pride of life. |
[765.28 --> 766.24] The love of the world, |
[766.34 --> 767.50] the ways of this world, |
[768.04 --> 769.38] it's rooted in these |
[769.38 --> 770.36] perverted things. |
[770.88 --> 772.86] Because it's so significant here |
[772.86 --> 774.68] that John specifically |
[774.68 --> 776.26] uses the word lust |
[776.26 --> 778.56] to describe these roots |
[778.56 --> 779.82] of sin and evil. |
[780.46 --> 782.68] Because lust is the perversion |
[782.68 --> 783.56] of love, |
[783.76 --> 784.72] of true love. |
[784.98 --> 786.38] And so he's taking that agape |
[786.38 --> 787.30] and he's saying, |
[787.52 --> 788.66] if you agape the world |
[788.66 --> 790.10] and you're totally committed |
[790.10 --> 791.54] to the ways of this world, |
[791.92 --> 795.16] do you know what you're belonging to? |
[795.72 --> 796.70] Do you know what the roots |
[796.70 --> 797.64] of the world are? |
[798.32 --> 798.86] He's saying, |
[799.24 --> 801.00] it's the disordered desires |
[801.00 --> 802.92] of our flesh, |
[803.10 --> 803.84] of our eyes, |
[803.92 --> 804.74] and the pride |
[804.74 --> 806.90] that stands against God. |
[809.02 --> 810.54] And many times in the church, |
[810.62 --> 811.72] when we use the word, |
[811.82 --> 813.50] or when we refer to the word lust, |
[814.10 --> 815.72] we usually just tie it together |
[815.72 --> 816.66] with sexual sins, |
[816.80 --> 817.80] sexual temptations. |
[818.34 --> 819.78] But it's not just simply |
