Classic Christianity – Christ Alone – Part 2 – 12-16-25

~ “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

~ People today don’t understand that they are the walking dead. The walking dead are everywhere. They are people without the Spirit of God living in them. They are Dead in the WAGES of sin, and they need life in Jesus. And Jesus is the source of ALL life. When you have the Son, you have life, when you don’t have the Son, you are Dead. This is seldom taught today in Truth and in meaning what the scriptures says it means. Only those who have the Spirit of God are alive in Christ Jesus. To become alive in Christ Jesus requires simply placing Faith in Jesus, God in the flesh to have taken (past tense), all your sins away at the cross, and to thank Him for what He has done for you, and at that very moment in time He will give you His Spirit to live in you to make you alive in Christ Jesus. All things become new at that very moment in time.

We have been hoodwinked into believing lies upon lies in our so-called “churches” today. That of either the ongoing forgiveness lie, or the one time blanket forgiveness lie, of come to God to “get your sins forgiven” as though Jesus didn’t take away the sins of the world at the cross to begin with. It’s time to get crystal clear. That without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness by God, and He did it one time for ALL sins, for ALL time, for everyone. Forgiveness was NOT salvation. Life is Salvation. And when you accept God’s forgiveness for you at the cross, He makes you alive at your coming to Faith in Him. No one “gets their sins forgiven today.” God is NOT a vending machine for forgiveness, not even once. And this lie is taught in even so-called grace teaching churches. But when you get right down to the details of what most are teaching, it’s the subtle lie of come to God to get your sins forgiven. It’s time to wise up in the Holy Spirit for ALL TRUTH. Don’t let satan get you off the straight and narrow road. For the cross is an offense to those that are perishing. They dislike the Truth, because they want to feel good about doing something to “get their sins forgiven by God,” even it is their one time of them asking God to forgive them. Thus it becomes something they did, to cause God to do something for them. It’s time to call a spade a spade, and realize the lies we have all been taught, and turn to Truth. Jesus did it ALL. He took away the sins of the world at the cross, so that in HIM we might become the righteousness of God.
…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone. Luke 18:18,19

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “What’s the problem of man, folks? If you’re dead, what’s your problem? You’re dead. We’ve concentrated on you’re a sinner. Hold on a minute. There’s a consequence to sin. It’s called what? Death. I don’t think you got to be a mental giant to figure out death is worse than sin. Sin caused death, did it not? Now, if sin is what caused death, and God’s goal was to give you life, what kind of life did he want to give you? Temporal life or eternal life? Eternal life. In order to give you eternal life, if sin is what caused death, what’s he going to have to do with sin? Take it away. For how long and for how much of it? How much he going to have take away? If he’s going to give you eternal life, he has to take away eternal sin. Are we together? Do you see the practicality of this, guys? If I’m going to give these people eternal life, then I have to take away eternally what caused death and what caused death? Sin. Who’s sin? Ours. And that’s precisely what Jesus did when he went to the cross. There He who knew no sin became sin, so that we could become the righteousness of God, where? In him.” ~ Bob George

Well, you know what he said? If your eye causes you to lust, pluck it out. You follower of Jesus? You ever lusted? What do you do with eyeballs? Do you realize that if we really were followers of what Jesus said, in other words, that we didn’t know what the meaning of what he said, just to what he said, we’d all be sitting in here with sockets in our head and I wouldn’t be able to see you.

That’s the demands of the law. The law is that if, if you’ve gotten sent, I’ll pat on you. We have that people say, Oh, I’ll send you the woodshed. How many has been to the woodshed? No, it isn’t the wood shed. It’s death. Do we understand that guys? The wages of sin is death. And when Adam sinned, what happened? Got out of fellowship? He died. And all of us are born into Adam dead spiritually. And what is death? The absence of life. What does that mean? We’re not born with the life of God living in us. We were created, Adam was created with the life of God living in him. When he sinned, the life left him. We’re born in Adam, dead spiritually, but with ability to choose. That was the whole plan of God. From the formation of life on. I’m going to make a plan. In my time. And guys, God let man go out in the energy of his self righteous flesh and try for 4000 years to prove he could live under the law. That’s a long time, isn’t it, to prove to yourself you can’t do it? And when the time was exactly right, he sent his own begotten Son, and he sent his Son to die. He had to be born before he died, but his goal was death. And the reason for that death was very simple, a sacrifice for sin must be made, because without the shedding of blood, there is how much forgiveness guys? No forgiveness. Mark it. Without the shedding of blood. There is no forgiveness of sin. Are we? Are we together? Now, has Jesus died for your sin? Did he shed his blood? Did he shed his life? How many times do you do that, once and for how many people? And for all and for how long? Forever. When Christ went to a cross, there he who knew no sin became sin, so that I and you in him can receive life.

What’s the problem of man, folks? If you’re dead, what’s your problem? You’re dead. We’ve concentrated on you’re a sinner. Hold on a minute. There’s a consequence to sin. It’s called what? Death. I don’t think you got to be a mental giant to figure out death is worse than sin. Sin caused death, did it not? Now, if sin is what caused death, and God’s goal was to give you life, what kind of life did he want to give you? Temporal life or eternal life? Eternal life. In order to give you eternal life, if sin is what caused death, what’s he going to have to do with sin? Take it away. For how long and for how much of it? How much he going to have take away? If he’s going to give you eternal life, he has to take away eternal sin. Are we together? Do you see the practicality of this, guys? If I’m going to give these people eternal life, then I have to take away eternally what caused death and what caused death? Sin. Who’s sin? Ours. And that’s precisely what Jesus did when he went to the cross. There He who knew no sin became sin, so that we could become the righteousness of God, where? In him.

Now we’ve taken and Satan has been very clever in hiding that meaning, because what we have done is concentrate on the cross instead of where you get life. You see, getting forgiveness does not bring life to the dead. How many people do you know that said, Yeah, I got all my sins forgiven. I’m saved. It’s taught universally when Amy and I were in Russia, riding back to the airport with a pastor and his wife, yeah, they’ve accepted the cross and they’re saved. Hey, no, they’re not. It the Bible tells you you’re not. It says in Romans five eight that while we were yet sinners, that means lost, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son. You were born reconciled to God. How much more having been reconciled? This being an accomplished fact. Shall you be saved by his what? His life. You’re not saved by the death of Christ. You’re saved by the life of Christ. What are you saved from? The wages of sin, which is what? Death. Death. Forgiveness clears the deck for the divine action of bringing life to the dead, but salvation is in resurrection. That’s why Paul said, without the resurrection, we’re to be pitied, of all people and are still where? In our sins, knowing full well that Christ had taken away the sins of the world, but also knowing something that we evidently forgotten or never knew, and that is that salvation is in his resurrection.

And so we put the emphasis on the cross instead of the empty tomb. Oh, the empty tomb. We talk about it at Easter along with their Easter bunnies, but it’s just kind of a historical event that took place. And folks, for 20, over 20 years on the radio, I’ve been asking people, what’s your definition of salvation? Folks, if you could hear 90%, Christ died for my sins. Christ died for my sin, is that it? Yeah, that’s it. That’s not salvation. It’s part of salvation. Thank God for it. But in and of itself, it’s not salvation. You got a death problem that has to be solved, and forgiveness does not bring life to the dead. Life brings life to the dead. And it’s not the life of a bull and goat which was under the law. It’s a human life who was sent from God, and His name is Jesus. It’s the good news of the gospel.

Now, folks, as we pick up this passage in Hebrews an unbelievably important passage, because it’s saying to you, are you really saved? Because you’re saved when you’ve come to truth, not when you’ve come to error. Could you, as an example, be taught that the way you’re saved is to come forward and to take a wafer, and that wafer miraculously becomes Christ’s body? Could you be saved with that? I mean, guys, come on, are we awake? Could you be saved with that? No. Why? Well that’s not truth. Now, you can sit and say, Yeah, but that’s what my church teaches, I know, but they don’t teach truth. So you can’t be saved by that.

We get down and say, well, now what about babies? You know that have never had an opportunity to hear? What about dogs? Well, you see, so we got to do some of these babies. So we come down and we sprinkle them, and we bring little babies down their arms. Everybody sits out in tears, falls down their eyes. And we put the, you know, we put sprinkle a little water on their head and say they’re okay. Are they? Where do you read that in the Bible? Where are you going to go for truth? Are you going to go to tradition, or are you going to go the Bible? That’s going to be 90% of what I talk about on radio in Los Angeles, where is your standard of truth? Is it the Bible? Or is it your tradition? There anything in the Bible about christening kids, sprinkling water on anybody, doesn’t save anybody, gets them wet, but doesn’t save anybody, but your denomination teaches it. You see, you can come up with all kinds of ideas as to how you’re saved. People come up and say, Well, when you speak in tongues, you’re saved, really, where you find that in the Scripture? I don’t know anybody’s ever spoken biblical tongues, I’ve heard a lot of gibberish, but I’ve never heard anyone speaking in biblical tongues, because biblical tongues was a language that’s understandable by a tribe of people or a group of people someplace. Isn’t gibberish that nobody knows what it is. It’s a language that could be interpreted. Have you ever heard anyone speak that never learned it?

Amy speaks in tongues. She speaks Russian, she speaks German, speaks a little polish. She can speak a lot of languages, but she learned them now. If she had never learned them, never heard them before, and all of a sudden, she was back in the back of the room, she stood up and started talking. And let’s say, what would be a language be Japanese? Started speaking Japanese. She never learned Japanese, and started speaking. I’d say, That’s tongues. But then I’d say, What are you doing that for? We understand English, and so do you. Well, what are you doing that for? Doesn’t make any sense. You’ve got that gift of tongues. Go to Japan. You don’t need to be here. You speak English. So do we? It’s truth. Now, folks, the truth that this passage is getting to is around the superiority of Christ, it isn’t Jesus plus Mohammed. Jesus wasn’t a prophet. He was God who came to this earth, God who knew no sin became sin. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the word God became flesh and dwelt among us as the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. He wasn’t a prophet. He was a he was God. Now it’s not Jesus plus a prophet, or Jesus plus Moses or Jesus plus Abraham, it’s Jesus period. He is God’s representative here on this earth. He came to reveal truth to us.

Bob George 13:29
How do you identify himself? I am the way and the what? The truth and the life. There is no life available to us except his life. There is no truth available to us except his truth, and there is no other way to God except through Him. He said that. No man will ever enter the kingdom of heaven. A part of coming through me that’s either true or it isn’t. You can say no, you got to get baptized. No. Now you’re adding what you do. Now you’ve just added what you do. Salvation has nothing to do with what we do. Nothing. We’re just recipients. All we can do is accept or reject or ignore, but you cannot add to what God did. So there isn’t anything you do that where you need proof, if you need a sign, to prove that you’ve been saved, that’s a repudiation of faith. If you need a sign, then that’s not faith. If I need a sign for something, then I’m not exercising faith in something. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by what? The Word of God. And so he’s told us, I came to this earth to die on a cross for the forgiveness of the sins of the whole world. Do you believe that? You really believe it the whole world back to Adam and forward to eternity? Do you believe that to take away, not cover atonement covered sin. The word atonement is never used in the New Covenant. Atonement covers sin. Jesus came to do something far greater than cover. He came to take away, to take away from the eyes of God, for eternity, the sins of the world. Do you believe that how many of your sins, then, are in the mind of God? How could God be spinning around and putting you out of fellowship when all your sins been taken away from the eyes of God? Now, folks, either when it says he took away the sins of the world, it means he either took them away from the eyes of God, or he took them away from me. And if you knew me, you’d know that ain’t true, and I know you, and I know that isn’t true. So where’d he take them away from? The eyes of God.

So what is God dealing with us? On what basis today? On the basis of new life, on the basis of the indwelling Holy Spirit of God? That’s why the most important day in human history for celebration is Pentecost, the day when the church was born. Happy Birthday church, when this whole spirit of God came to permanently indwell believers. Why did he come to live in us, just to hang around? No, it said he came to lead us into all truth, to guide us into all truth. Well, the first place is going to guide you. You’re no longer under the law. The law is what was guiding you that you can’t follow. Paul said, nothing wrong with the law. It’s good and holy. When it flows through me, it kills me. It’ll do the same to you, if you’re honest, if you’ve lived long enough, if you’ve lived long enough, you’ll find out I can’t do it. And when you find out you can’t do it, you better find out who did. And that’s what Christ came to do, to give us truth, to set us free.

And so in this passage of Scripture, he’s saying, if we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of truth, what are we sinning against? Look at the passage guys and think through Ask God to reveal. If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of truth, what are we sinning against? The knowledge of truth? What is the knowledge of truth that he’s talking about? The passage is just before that that this is the covenant I will make with them at that time, says the Lord, their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more and where these not will be forgiven, but have been forgiven, there is no longer any what? Sacrifice for sins. You believe that? Do you believe it? There is no more sacrifice for sins. Now, if a sacrifice is the shedding of blood, isn’t it? So without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. And if there is no more shedding of blood, there is no more forgiveness. And if there’s no more forgiveness, what do you have to conclude? When did I get forgiven? At the cross. How many of us, all of us, while we were yet enemies. We were reconciled to God through the death of his son. How many people were reconciled? All of you, any of you are bookkeepers? How many of you are bookkeepers? Anybody out there a bookkeeper? No one is a bookkeeper. No wonder we’re in such financial trouble. Well, I’ll tell you a bookkeeper. If you were the bookkeeper for a company that had sold me a million dollars worth of merchandise, and I went belly up and I couldn’t pay the debt, and you wanted to balance your books, what would you or reconcile your books? What would you do with that debt? You’d write it off, and therefore you’d be paying a debt that you didn’t know for me who owed a debt that I couldn’t pay. We right or wrong? It would be reconciling your books. Now that’s precisely what God did. He reconciled us unto himself. He wrote it off. He wrote the debt off and said, I will pay it. And when he did, he said, from the cross, what? It is finished. Paid in full. You believe that or not,

If you deliberately keep on sinning. After you’ve received the knowledge of this truth, he says, The only thing you have to look for do is go into hell if you’re going to reject what Jesus did by adding to it or watering it down, there’s no sacrifice for sins left, folks if there was any further forgiveness to be executed on your behalf by God, what would he have to do? I want you to think it through. Let me ask a question again. If there was any further forgiveness to be executed by God on your behalf, what would he have to do? Die again, suffer again, be humiliated again. Is he going to do that? Perhaps that’s why he cried out from the cross. It’s finished. I did it once. I did it for all. How many of you know the passage? How many of you think Jesus is coming back? How many of you think he’s coming back? Or what’s it say about that? When Jesus comes back, he’s not coming back to bear sin, but to bring salvation for those who are waiting for him. Why isn’t he coming back to bear sin? For goodness sakes. We’ve all sinned. We’ve been sinning for 2000 years. Because he’s already done it. He did it once. He did it for all and he said it’s finished.

The Bible tells us in him now, what does in him mean? In his resurrected life, you go to the cross. You go through the cross to the empty tomb, and there you find Jesus waiting for you Come unto me, all of you who labor and are heavy laden, and I’ll give you rest and peace for your soul. There you find Jesus. Who do you go to? Jesus. You don’t come to him for what he did for you at the cross. You come to him for him. And it says in him, you have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. I just quoted a verse I’m not misquoting. In Him, you have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. How many of you are in him? Okay. What do you have? Redemption. What else do you have? Now, when you have something, that means you got it, right? I don’t halfway have it. If I got something, I got it. So in him, are you in him? Then what is just at least two of your possessions, redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Now, if you were going to walk by faith, if you’re going to walk by faith, you don’t have to, but if you are going to walk by faith, would you ask God as a person who has been redeemed and forgiven, would you ask God to redeem you every day? Why, do you need redemption? No, I got redemption, but before I got redemption, did need redemption, but now I got it. Would it be faith to ask God to give you what you already have? I’m forcing you to think, God forbid, and ask it again. Would it be faith for you to ask God to give you what in him you already have? Don’t see the whole issue is, are you in him? The issue is, have you come to him for him? Have you acknowledged that God, you took away my sins at the cross? Thank you. You ushered in a brand new covenant of grace for me, where, by my sins and lawless acts, I’ll remember no more. You’ll remember no more. And you were raised from the dead in order to give me the only solution to the consequence of sin, which is death, by the gift of God of your life. And I have come to you for life. I was born dead. I don’t care whether you’re born a Baptist or Presbyterian or whatever it is, you know, don’t become a Christian sitting in church anymore you become a chicken sitting in a head house. Forget that stuff. You come to Jesus for His resurrected life. The only solution to my consequence of sin, which is death, is his resurrected life. I’ve done that now again, in as much as I am now in him, and he is in me. Am I in Christ? You’re in Christ, then in him, what do you have? Redemption. Is it faith to ask him for redemption once you’re in him? Would that be faith? Then, why do you think it’s faith? When you ask him to forgive you? Are you in him? What do you have redemption? What else do you have? Forgiveness of sins? Is that right or wrong?

Not speaking Swahili here. I’m not talking out of the Quran, talking right out of here. And I’m talking right out of this passage that if you deny that, it’s an indicator of where you are, you’re lost. You’ve never come to Christ for what he came to do. He didn’t come to like a bull and goat to die for some sins and then cover them until the next time and die and cover them again. He said, day after day, every priest stands because he never sits, because his work was never finished, and performs his religious duties over and over and over again, which could never take away sin. But when this priest died one time, he sat down. Why did he sit down? It’s over. It’s finished. You believe that? If you don’t, you’re not saved. I don’t care how nice you act. I don’t care how sweet you think you are. I don’t care what your church attendance is. You’re not saved when you do not believe what Jesus came to do. Jesus did not come to give you partial forgiveness. He came to take away your sins from the eyes of God forever. There is no more sacrifice. Do we all agree with that no more sacrifice? Well, if there is no more sacrifice, then there is no more forgiveness. And that means, if you’re in Christ, you’re a forgiven person. Oh, you’re going to Oh, you teach that, people are going to go out and live like hell. So you do that, when you don’t teach it, you’re going to give people a license to sin. I don’t need a license to sin. I sin quite well without a license, don’t you? It’s not the issue. The issue is, are you in Christ or not? And if you are, you’re a forgiven person.
