Classic Christianity – Book of Hebrews P38 (11-27-23)

The World’s Sin is Unbelief in Jesus

~~ If you are in Christ Jesus, then He, the Spirit of God is IN you! The Holy Spirit lives in every true born again believer in God. They are a child of the Living God. They are alive because the Holy Spirit gives life to the dead. The Holy Spirit is our true Counselor. People go to everyone else today for counseling, but most do not go directly to God for True counseling. Yet the very Spirit of Truth lives in the believer and He gives us knowledge and wisdom and Truth directly from God.

We need to pay attention to the details. Jesus tells us the world’s sin is unbelief in Him. So many people focus on this sin or that sin, all the while ignoring the Major SIN of Unbelief in Jesus. Agents of the devil will even point out all the other sins of the world (and lie to you about getting those sins cleaned up) but not unbelief in Jesus. The Holy Spirit on the other hand is telling us the key is unbelief in Jesus. We ought to heed the truth of the word of God and focus on what Jesus had to say about everything. And now that the Holy Spirit has come, we ought to pay attention to what He, the Holy Spirit has to say to us today.

Jesus went away. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit. We have the Holy Spirit in us if we are a born again believer in Jesus. We are the body of Christ here on earth at this very moment in time. He wants to use you for His good purpose. Simply make yourself available to him today to use you.

~ But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. ^{John 16:7-11}

~ “Now, that’s what he’s talking about, I’m gonna send the Holy Spirit to you unless I die. I’m not I can’t send the Spirit to you. Unless I die a New Covenant cannot go into effect a New Covenant whereby it says, I will put my laws in their hearts and other words, my Spirit will be in their hearts, and their sins and lawless acts, I will remember no more and where these have been forgiven, there’s no longer any sacrifice for sins. So he had to die, or he would have been abiding alone. But he said, When I die, just like a seed dies. And until it dies, it abides alone. But when it dies, it bears much fruit, a seed of corn planted into the ground dies, doesn’t grow one ear of corn, it grows many years of corn. That’s what bearing fruit is all about. And so Christ Jesus died, so that we might live raised from the dead. So that spirit that raised Him from the dead, put in you and may until he’s all over, he’s an each one of you. And when you leave here and go into the highways and byways of life, Christ is in you, he’s every place in his body. And that’s what he said, I will come to you, unless I go away, the counselor will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. So he’s going to send the Holy Spirit and he did to us. When he comes, he’s gonna tell you what the Holy Spirit’s gonna do. This is the counselor folks. This is the counselor. We’re not counselors. He’s the counselor. We call ourselves counselors. We’re not counselors. You if we do we’re doing a poor job on ourselves. Do you realize I can’t even counsel myself? What are we then? Well, when Amy said we’re sheep dogs hurting the people back to the shepherd. That’s all any of us are as Christian I don’t care what little label you want to put on yourself. No big deal is anyway in the body of Christ. There’s no big anointed guys walking around. Just people indwelt by who? By God. And so of Christ Jesus is alive living each in each and every one of us. We draw upon the one who is the Counselor, the Holy Spirit of God living in us to do the counseling for what in our own hearts? Yeah. Now he said when the Holy Spirit comes, he’s going to convict the world of guilt in regard to sin. In other words, you’re guilty in regard to your misconception what sin is about and righteousness, what you’re guilty about what you’re misconception about what righteousness righteousness is about and judgment in regard to sin, because in righteousness and judgment in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me, that’s the world’s sin. The Holy Spirit of God is coming to point out to man what the world’s sin is unbelief. What do we camp on sin? Where do we where do we live in regard to this sin issue? What do we think sin is? Well, the filthy and the Dirty Dozen, don’t we? Terrible 10. We’re always looking at sin is what we do. Jesus said, The world’s sin is unbelief in me. That’s the world sin. Will there be anybody folks that will ever go to hell because of their sins? Plural? Anybody? How come? Where are all of your sins the whole world sins? Well, they were at the cross. And how many of those sins did he die for? All of them. So what is the world sin? You see, sin, singular, did not need forgiven, because sin is unbelief. You don’t forgive an unbeliever, then you end up with what? A forgiven, unbeliever. Sins had to be forgiven. But the sin of unbelief has to be corrected. That’s what repentance is changing your mind. From an unbeliever to a believer. Now, were you born into this world as a believer or an unbeliever? Well, an unbeliever. No one came into this world believing in God or Jesus or anything else. Oh, we had a you can see. I mean, there’s an awareness that there’s a God but we didn’t enter into this world as a believer.” ~ Bob George

Now turn back with me for a moment to the 16th chapter of the book of John. Let’s begin in verse five. Jesus talking to his apostles who said now I’m going to Him who sent Me. And yet none of you asked me, Where are you going? Don’t know where we are chapter 16. Because I’ve said these things, you are filled with grief. But I tell you the truth. It is good that I’m going away. Unless I do what’s he called? The counselor will not come to you. But if I go I will send him to you. Now, folks, this is what Jesus had said and communicated earlier that unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, it abides what? Alone. Christ when he was here on this earth, that was God, in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth. God was on this earth in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth. In other words, he clothed himself, the deity of Christ clothed himself in our humanity, and walked on this earth as God clothed in our humanity, representing God and Man at the same time, better known as the God Man. Now Jesus, then therefore, if you are going to see God in action, you were going to have to find Jesus of Nazareth, because that was God in action, if you were going to look for the body of Christ, you would have had to go to Israel to find this man, Jesus of Nazareth, because that was the body of Christ, the body of God, represented here on the face of this earth. Now, he said, if I remain in that form, then I’m going to abide alone. And so for the good of you, and for the good of mankind, I am going away, but he says, when I do, I’m going to do something, I’m going to send the same spirit that raised me from the dead, in any man and woman, boy and girl on the face of this earth, who by faith, trust me, come to me by faith, and I then will send the Holy Spirit to go and live in them. And therefore God living in man will be all over the world, wherever a man is, with Christ living at. And that, incidentally, is what the scripture is talking about, when it says greater things will these will you do because of goto through the Father doesn’t mean that you and I are going out and going to be doing greater miracles than God or bigger things than him, it means that it’s going to whatever he’s doing is going to have the capability of doing it all over the world at the same time, which was not the fact when he was in his own body. So the greater things is not in I’m going to do more exciting things than Jesus did. But it’s the body of Christ that is all over the world, Christ is working all over the world. Any place there is a born again, believer Christ living in them, Christ is ministering to people in that area, whether it be Bangladesh, whether it be in Russia, whether it be in Poland, whether it be in China, Canada, America, Dallas, wherever it might be, wherever there’s a born again, Christian Christ is there living in them, and able to express himself through them. So that’s the greater things not, I’m going to do more miracles than Jesus that’s ludicrous for people walking around thinking that, but the fact that we have the capability with Christ living in us, and Christ living through us of being able to speak the truth to someone and see him come, come alive. It’s amazing to me.

It’s amazing to me, when I go into areas, there was this lady that came up from in New York and came up and introduced me your son, sweet looking young guy, probably about 18, 19 years of age, her daughter and her son in law. And she said, all of them came to Christ. They listened to radio. It just rejoice in the Lord. She said, I prayed and prayed and prayed for my kids all these years that one guy had been on drugs have been on everything, now they’re in Christ. Well, what in the world is that? Well, it’s Christ Jesus, who lives in you, using your mouth to speak into some stupid microphone that you don’t understand, going across airwaves all over the place and ended up in a radio someplace, and some by listening to those words coming out of a radio, and her heart responds and are born again, you talk about a miracle. You can’t beat that as a miracle. You’ll never see a bigger miracle than when you’re born again of the Spirit of God. You’ll never see a bigger miracle than to be dead as a hammer and raise from the dead. If you and I had the ability to go into a graveyard and raise people physically from the dead, you talk about a TV program? Boy, we would have one to go in and say, Hey, come forth, and out. They come from the great boy, you talk about getting on TV, raising money. That’d be a big one. We got something more important than that. We have the ability of allowing the Lord Jesus Christ who lives in us to speak through us and raise people from the dead spiritually. You realize that’s what’s going on every time someone comes to Lord, they’ve been raised from the dead. We are all born into this world, dead spiritually. And what spiritual birth is is raised from the dead. And you and I Have that unbelievable privilege every day of our lives of walking around on the face of this earth in our own bodies, allowing Christ Jesus who lives in us to live through us, speaking the words of truth to people and seeing people respond to being raised from the dead, we don’t think anything of that just kind of ho hum. Because we’re so preoccupied with the physical that we don’t see the importance of the spiritual. What we need is some spiritual plastic surgery. We got a lot of implants taken place physically. And we need a transplant of the Lord Jesus Christ coming to live in us and a realize he lives in us spiritually. And we have the capabilities of being involved every day of our lives and eternal things, not temporal things eternal.

Glen, is a medical doctor, the best that you can do for someone is to help them physically temporarily, that’s as good as it’s gonna get. But anyone that you’re treating is going to be dead as can be one of these days, including you and me. So the best that you could do in one of the most well respected professions in the world, the best that we can do is to help someone temporarily, physically, temporarily, that’s the best we can do. But boy to have that combination, and not only being able to help someone physically, but to be able to be involved in eternal things. That’s got some meaning to it. To realize that is born again Christians who grew up for the living Christ, we have the ability to present some truth that will have eternal consequences. That’s mind boggling to how God would enable you and me to be mindful of us is enough, but to give us this unbelievable privilege of being indwelt by him and being used by him, to communicate truth to people, and to see eternal things occur as a result of that is mind boggling.

Now, that’s what he’s talking about, I’m gonna send the Holy Spirit to it unless I die. I’m not I can’t send the Spirit to you. Unless I die a New Covenant cannot go into effect a New Covenant whereby it says, I will put my laws in their hearts and other words, my Spirit will be in their hearts, and their sins and lawless acts, I will remember no more and where these have been forgiven, there’s no longer any sacrifice for sins. So he had to die, or he would have been abiding alone. But he said, When I die, just like a seed dies. And until it dies, it abides alone. But when it dies, it bears much fruit, a seed of corn planted into the ground dies, doesn’t grow one ear of corn, it grows many years of corn. That’s what bearing fruit is all about. And so Christ Jesus died, so that we might live raised from the dead. So that spirit that raised Him from the dead, put in you and may until he’s all over, he’s an each one of you. And when you leave here and go into the highways and byways of life, Christ is in you, he’s every place in his body. And that’s what he said, I will come to you, unless I go away, the counselor will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. So he’s going to send the Holy Spirit and he did to us. When he comes, he’s gonna tell you what the Holy Spirit’s gonna do. This is the counselor folks. This is the counselor. We’re not counselors. He’s the counselor. We call ourselves counselors. We’re not counselors. You if we do we’re doing a poor job on ourselves. Do you realize I can’t even counsel myself? What are we then? Well, when Amy said we’re sheep dogs hurting the people back to the shepherd. That’s all any of us are as Christian I don’t care what little label you want to put on yourself. No big deal is anyway in the body of Christ. There’s no big anointed guys walking around. Just people indwelt by who? By God. And so of Christ Jesus is alive living each in each and every one of us. We draw upon the one who is the Counselor, the Holy Spirit of God living in us to do the counseling for what in our own hearts? Yeah. Now he said when the Holy Spirit comes, he’s going to convict the world of guilt in regard to sin. In other words, you’re guilty in regard to your misconception what sin is about and righteousness, what you’re guilty about what you’re misconception about what righteousness righteousness is about and judgment in regard to sin, because in righteousness and judgment in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me, that’s the world’s sin. The Holy Spirit of God is coming to point out to man what the world’s sin is unbelief. What do we camp on sin? Where do we where do we live in regard to this sin issue? What do we think sin is? Well, the filthy and the Dirty Dozen, don’t we? Terrible 10. We’re always looking at sin is what we do. Jesus said, The world’s sin is unbelief in me. That’s the world sin. Will there be anybody folks that will ever go to hell because of their sins? Plural? Anybody? How come? Where are all of your sins the whole world sins? Well, they were at the cross.

You don’t forgive an unbeliever, then you end up with what? A forgiven, unbeliever. Sins had to be forgiven. But the sin of unbelief has to be corrected. That’s what repentance is changing your mind. From an unbeliever to a believer. Now, were you born into this world as a believer or an unbeliever? Well, an unbeliever. No one came into this world believing in God or Jesus or anything else. Oh, we had a you can see. I mean, there’s an awareness that there’s a God but we didn’t enter into this world as a believer.

And so changing your mind is changing your mind in regard to what you’ve heard concerning the truth whenever that took place, in regard to the fact that Christ came not to die for sins over and over and over again, that Christ didn’t come to provide some intermediary and there between him and to Father and God, that Christ did not come to do anything except to save man. I didn’t come to condemn the world the world’s already condemned the wages of sin is death, that that’s why the gift of God is life. And so I came to save man, save him from what? The wages of sin. And what’s the wages of sin? Death. So what is he going to save us from death? What’s the only solution to death, to life. So when you and I understand that sins, singular, plural sins all we’re were placed upon Christ at the cross. And from that moment on the world’s sin, no more sacrifice for sins. They’ve been taken away. No need to sacrifice for sins. You don’t need a confessional booth for sins. You don’t need first John one nine for sins. They’ve been taken away. The sin is unbelief. And that’s what the Holy Spirit of God was sent by God to do is to convince the world wrong, guilty about sins, guilty about what? In what your understanding is of it. And many of us as Christians still haven’t changed our minds in regard to that. We’re still in the bondage of constantly trying to deal with our sins and deal with our sins instead of realizing the sin is unbelief. And so the only thing in the world that will ever keep a person from receiving life is refusing life. That’s all. It’s offered to all men I came to the world, to offer them life and this life is in his Son. And who has the Son has life and who does not have the Son does not have life. These things I written unto you believe in the name of Son of God, nor to may know that you have what? Life. What kind of life? Eternal life. So he came to offer life to the dead. Do we think and keep a person from receiving life is refusing life. About righteousness, because he said, I am I go to the Father, I am going to the Father, the I Am is going to the Father, who’s the I am he’s the author of righteousness. You and I don’t stand in our own righteousness. When we’re told to put on the breastplate of righteousness that’s not our own. It’s his. To realize there is no righteousness in and of ourselves. It’s him. Did the world need to be convicted of a misunderstanding of that? Of course. What’s religions, idea of righteousness? What I’m doing for God. Folks, this is all a part of this Sabbath rest that’s being talked about. You can’t rest when you’re up believing you are doing something to impress God with your righteousness. Rest is, he’s done at all. He’s rested from His works, why don’t you rest from yours?

Now, folks, only the Holy Spirit of God living in you can show you these things. I can’t show it to you, a teacher can’t show it to you. It takes the Spirit of God living in you to reveal it to you. He said, I’m going to the Father we will see me no longer. And then in regard to judgment, where the prince of this world now stands condemned. He says, I have so much more to tell you but you can’t bear it. But when he the Spirit of truth, there again the Spirit of truth comes. He the Spirit of Truth will guide you into how much truth? All of it all truth. You want to be guided into all truth, folks, there’s only one author of truth and it’s the Spirit of Truth. And the Spirit of God living in you the Spirit of Truth is going to lead you into all truth. What’s that? Teach you how to grow grass. Is it going to convict convict you of sins? No, you already dealt with sins, He will tell you about the sin of what? Unbelief. You realize that? When I’m thinking I’m not trusting the Lord. That’s why I’m got stinking thinking, folks, is when I’m not trusting the Lord. When I’ve become convinced there’s truth outside of him. When instead of allowing the Holy Spirit of God to teach me, I’m counting on everything else to teach me. Now it said when that Holy Spirit of God comes to live within you. He said he isn’t going to speak on his own. He’s going to speak only what he hears and he’s going to tell you what is yet to come. He’ll bring glory to me by taking what is mine and making it known to you. My friends, the Holy Spirit of God, living inside of man, came to bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, I’m going to take the things of mine, Jesus, and he’s going to reveal it to you. The Holy Spirit of God did not come to bring glory to himself. The Holy Spirit of God came to bring glory to Christ. Now when people are trying to bring glory to the Holy Spirit, it’s like we do with everything else. We are perverting what God came to do. The Holy Spirit did not come to bring glory to himself, he came to bring glory to Jesus, to make Jesus known. The Holy Spirit of God coming to live within us is how we are born again, what is that? It’s bringing Christ to our hearts, which is our only hope of glory. It’s the agency that God uses to bring, the person that he uses to bring Christ Jesus, to our hearts to live in us as our personal Lord and Savior. And so when you and I are indwelt, by the Spirit of God, and a person is truly enveloped by the Spirit of God, you’re not going to see him out trying to glorify the Holy Spirit, although worthy of glory, but he said, No, the Holy Spirit came to bring glory to Jesus, to take the things of mine, Jesus and let them be known to you. And he said all the belongings to the Father’s is mine, and that’s why I said, the Spirit will take what is mine, and it’ll make it known unto you., That’s the promise of God. That’s the promise of God.

Folks will continue on with this as we continue in our study in Hebrews. But it has to begin with this foundation. And in the foundation that we’re dealing with, we’re dealing with a foundational truth that Christ Jesus is alive living in you, because of the ministry of the Holy Spirit of God, where the Spirit of God came to live within you, He is the head, we are the body. The Spirit of God is called your counselor. And if he’s your counselor, rely on him. Rely on him. People say to me, where do you go when you need help? The same place I tell you to go when you need to the Lord Jesus only got one place to go. The same place you have to go. But you see, when we’re continually looking for quick fixes. When we’re continually looking for immediate results, when we’re preoccupied with the How to try to get me feeling better, and how to try to get this flesh of mine stronger. We got our eyes on the wrong thing. Christ is not interested in cleaning up your flesh, folks. Satan is. But not Christ. Christ came to do one thing. What do he say to your flesh? Reckon yourself what? Dead. Dead. But alive to me. Asking the Spirit of God to help you with your flesh. Now, you know why haven’t gotten an answer. Said, I didn’t come to help you with that. I came to renew your mind. It’s gonna take time. Don’t worry about it. I’m not hung up on what you’re hung up on. I’m going to teach you how to grow grass. That’s gonna get so healthy, one of these days that is going to choke out these desires of your heart. Now that’s good news isn’t it. That’s what he means Faithful is He Who called you who also what? To do it. Do what? Everything. When? In his time, dead on time. Not a moment sooner, not a moment later. But in his timing, dead on time.

Well let’s pray together. Father you told your disciples that. In this world, we will weep and mourn. Says you will grieve but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come but when her baby is born, she forgets the anguish because of the joy of a child that’s born into the world. And you said so it is with you, now is your time of grief. But I’ll see you again and you will rejoice and no one will take away your joy. Father we go through periods in our life of grief and trials and tribulation. This flesh of ours manifests itself in so many ways. And as Christians, our tendency is to immediately set forth and try to correct that so that we won’t be criticized or not be accepted by the world. Hoping to maybe hide it so nobody will find out about it become phonies, and actors. Father you just want us to teach us to realize this is your deal. And to trust you, to complete the work you began in us, not in our timing, but yours. And that grief that sometimes we go through as a result of th=ese things that are in us, suddenly turns to unspeakable joy. As we realize that, as we have learned to grow in the grace of God, that something has happened in his flesh of ours since you began to choke out and take away the desires that plague us. So Father, I thank you that we can count on you and trust you to walk by faith in your timing dead on time to complete the work that you began in us. It’s what enables us to walk into now this Sabbath rest, where we rest from our works just as you rested from yours. And realize it’s all you and none of us. So I thank You, Father, for what you’re doing in our lives, day by day, moment by moment. Teach us to keep our eyes on you, the author and finisher of our faith, the beginning the end, the Alpha Omega. Our Lord Jesus Christ and it’s in his name we pray.
