	Thank you.
	That's right.
	We are live, live, live on a Friday night broadcasting the doctrine of Christ and the commandments of God to the ends of this good old flatter.
	So thankful for each and every one of you joining us for the broadcast tonight.
	We're excited.
	We're so blessed.
	For the Feast of Tabernacles celebration and for the great response that we had on the Choose You This Day event and campaign that we had.
	Just so very thankful response from 47 states and 24 foreign countries, which just lets us know we got work to do, don't we?
	We've got more states.
	We've got more people.
	We've got more countries to reach.
	We serve a big God.
	We're going to pray big, ask big.
	And we're going to do everything we can to give the devil as much trouble as we can and to rescue people out of this darkness into the marvelous light of Jesus Christ.
	And we're going to have a little mail call.
	That's right.
	Time for mail call.
	And this week we heard from the Smiths in Texas and they wrote us a letter and they showed up in person too.
	Now you can't beat that, can you?
	And we also heard from Omar from Kentucky, Shane in Arizona, Peggy in Georgia, Carl and Becky in Minnesota, and Carl and Becky Wright We just love you guys.
	Well, I tell you what, we love you back, Carl and Becky.
	We really do appreciate you.
	We heard from Pam in Illinois and a nice letter from the Miyamoto family in Hawaii.
	And I'm just as always, if you would like to write to Donna and I, I love getting letters.
	I love getting letters and if you would like to write to Don and I you can write to us at Followers of Jesus Christ Post Office Box 671 Tell City, Indiana 47586 and I want to say from the bottom of my heart we really appreciate each and every one of you That studies with us and that prays for us and that supports us with your gifts and with your kindness.
	We do appreciate it from the very bottom of our heart.
	And with that, and a big reminder here at the top of the broadcast tonight, after the broadcast tonight, I'll be going over at 8 p.m central time on the Dan Badandi broadcast and we'll be doing our Halloween broadcast that has kind of become a tradition that we do this on uh on Halloween so I'll be over there with Dan tonight it's going to be full steam ahead hammer down on the truth radio network tonight so
	all of you go over and join us there All right, a very, very important lesson.
	Every time we open the Word of God, it's certainly important.
	And tonight, the lesson is redemption.
	The four verbs of freedom.
	And we want to begin in the epistle of Colossians, chapter 2, verse 13 and 14. And the scripture says this.
	And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses?
	Forgiveness as far as the East is from the West.
	Christianity and real faith in Christ gives you forgiveness.
	The world will not give you forgiveness.
	The world will want to crucify you.
	And just make a mistake, we'll stick a knife in your back and a foot on your head and be done with you.
	You know, they say that Christianity is the only army that kills its own wounded.
	But I tell you what, Jesus isn't like that.
	As far as the east is from the west so far, have he removed our transgressions from you?
	In verse 14, blotting out The handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.
	And in the Roman prisons, They had what they called the certificate of debt.
	And if you were convicted of a crime in Rome, like the Roman prisons where Paul was in, outside of your jail cell, there would be a piece of paper or whatever they listed it on with a list of your crimes and a list of the penalty, how many days you had to serve, how much fine you had to pay.
	And until that certificate of debt was taken care of.
	You stayed right there in that cruel Roman prison.
	And that's the way we are.
	This is the illustration that Paul used that Jesus will take our certificate of death.
	Doesn't matter when we come to Christ and we truly repent of our sins.
	Manasseh Manasseh, who actually sacrificed his own son, found repentance with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
	You can read about that.
	In the Apocrypha, there's a writing, it's called The Prayer of Manasseh.
	And it's a very, very beautiful writing about the mercy and the forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
	John Trapp, the Puritan, put it like this.
	The black lines of our sins with the red line of his son's blood.
	And that's what it is.
	Our sins are black, but his blood can wash away all of those sins.
	And that's what redemption is about.
	And tonight, we're going to be going in To four Greek verbs.
	There are four Greek verbs in the Greek New Testament that relate to redemption, and they are indeed the four verbs of freedom, and we're going to be studying those words tonight to give us a full picture of the glorious redemption that Christ brought upon the cross for us.
	Romans 10 17 says, So then faith cometh by hearing, And hearing by the Word of God.
	And this is what it is.
	As we study and understand more and more about Christ and what He did for us upon the cross, we have more and more freedom and more and more liberty and victory in Christ.
	And I want to read a scripture in Romans 3.31 because we know all so well The popularity of people that will want to tell us that God's law is null and void, and they'll want to tell us that when Christ nailed our sins to the cross that he nailed the law their toe.
	Well, Romans 3 31, Paul said, do we then make void the law through faith?
	God forbid, yea, we establish the law.
	And that's what we do here at FOJC. We establish the law through faith in Christ.
	When God said the law was written upon your heart, that didn't mean, well, the law is written upon my heart, therefore I can just forget about it.
	No, when God's law is on your heart, you're going to love it and you're going to want to do everything you can to conform yourself to it.
	Amen.
	Now, in Matthew, the 27th verse, Matthew chapter 27. We're going to see the very moment when that certificate of debt was ripped up.
	In Matthew, the 27th chapter, we're going to begin in verse 45, and the scripture says, Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
	And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, labah sabbathani.
	That is to say, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
	And at that moment, Jesus experienced loneliness.
	He was one with his Father.
	Everything he did while he was on earth, he did what he heard and saw his Father do.
	Jesus said, if you've seen the Father, you've seen me.
	And Jesus, at that moment, Was totally separated from the Father.
	He knows what loneliness is.
	He experienced, literally, separation from God at that moment.
	And he did that, that you and I would never have to be lonely again.
	There's a precious old hymn.
	It says, Never alone.
	Never alone.
	No, no.
	Never alone.
	And one of the biggest things I think that the devil tries to fight the remnant with is loneliness.
	He makes you want to think that you're cut off, you're crazy, there's no one else like you out there.
	And that's why it was such a great blessing in this Choose You This Day campaign that we now know that there are many, many, many out there that will not bow the knee to Baal.
	That's right.
	You're not alone.
	Don't let the devil tell you're alone.
	This is where we get together and we encourage one another in the faith.
	We're here to take a stand and not a fall.
	We're here to stand for truth.
	We're not going to change it next week.
	We're not going to show up next week at the NIV Bibles.
	We're here and we're going to proclaim the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ unto the ends of the earth.
	In Hebrews chapter 13 and verse 5, let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with such things as ye have, for he hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
	No, no, never alone.
	There's never a time.
	When you cannot come boldly before the throne of grace and begin to praise his name and lift up your hands and worship him when the presence of God will not meet with you.
	There's never a time when that throne room of God is closed where you will not be able to go before that throne of grace.
	And I would be remiss if I would not read a couple scriptures In conjunction with Hebrews 13.5, you'll probably not hear these read unless you're listening to FOJC radio, but you're going to hear them here because we believe in the whole Bible.
	We believe in all of it from the first verse of Genesis to the last verse of Revelation.
	So we're going to read Chronicles chapter 28, 1 Chronicles chapter 28, and we're going to read verse 9. And thou, Solomon, my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind.
	For the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thought.
	If thou seek him, he will be found of thee.
	But if you forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.
	We need to put that in with Hebrews 13, 5. He will never leave us or forsake us as long as we don't forsake him.
	And if we forsake him, and I'm not saying, and God doesn't say...
	That if you stumble, that if you fall, or even if you sin, you can ask God to forgive you and keep going if you stumble.
	And sometimes it feels like you're walking through mud, and you've got your feet in the mud, and you pull your feet up, and it's like you can't hardly pull your feet out of the mud.
	But God will give you grace, and He will give you strength to carry on.
	If we endure to the end, The Bible says there's no temptation taking you, but such as is subject to man, and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you're able.
	1 Corinthians chapter 10 of the 13th verse.
	In 2 Chronicles, the 15th chapter in the 2nd verse, And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin, the Lord is with you, while ye be with him.
	You know?
	And I tell you, isn't that good?
	We need to understand that.
	The Lord is with us while we are with Him.
	And if we forsake Him and leave Him, we're on our own.
	We need to hear that, don't we?
	Because the lollipop religion that's taught, once saved, always saved, it doesn't matter.
	And they'll just say, well, boy, you're saved by works.
	No, we're not.
	We're saved by faith.
	But we know that true grace and true faith is not to trample the holy blood of Jesus underfoot.
	He goes on to say, The Lord is with you, while ye be with him.
	And if ye seek him, he will be found of you.
	But if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
	And this is the warning from the word of God.
	If you forsake Christ, He will forsake you, but if you're with Him, He's with you.
	He understands that we're human.
	He made us, for goodness sake.
	He understands that we can't be angelically perfect.
	He knows that.
	But he also knows whether we really love him or whether we don't.
	And that love will keep us going on in faith.
	The just shall live by faith.
	This is Habakkuk 2 and 4 in the Old Testament.
	It's Romans 1, 17 in the New.
	We live by faith.
	And as long as we continue in a loving, obedient faith, he is with us and will never forsake us.
	Praise God.
	And that is a precious promise that we need to always remember.
	That Jesus will be with us if we just keep fighting that good fight of faith.
	And we need to understand tonight, Brian did another great thumbnail.
	It illustrates so perfectly this teaching tonight of somebody breaking free of the chains and shackles.
	We need to understand that the human race Is enslaved to Satan.
	1 John 5.19 says the entire world is in the power of the evil one.
	That's easy to believe tonight, isn't it?
	The whole world is in the power of the evil one.
	Everyone that is born of the race of Adam, the minute you begin to breathe, you are born in bondage.
	And that's not to say little children, they're born They're born under the grace of God until they reach the age of accountability.
	And if they die, those little children are going to be with Jesus, whether they're Muslim, Hindu, or whatever they are.
	The Lord will cover those little children with his blood.
	And Romans chapter 5 and verse 12, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, that man was Adam, And death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
	If we say that we have not sinned, we are liars, the epistle of 1 John says.
	We are all sinners, we have all sinned, and because of our sin nature, We are born with a fallen nature that loves to do what's wrong instead of what's right.
	Our old carnal man, he will gravitate toward the easy way and the broad road every time.
	But that new man in Christ rejoices at the Word of God and at the Spirit of God, and when we hear the Word of God preached, it will get in our heart and it will encourage us to keep going on and on in our life of obedience.
	with the Lord Jesus Christ.
	Romans chapter 5 and the 12th verse which we have read shows that the entire world is under slavery to Satan.
	We are born sinners in need of a savior.
	This doctrine many times is called total depravity and we're going to study tonight the four verbs of freedom And these are the four verbs that we find in our Greek New Testament that go through and explain the depth of what it means to place our faith in the cross of Christ for his glorious redemption.
	Now the first verb of freedom is loutro.
	And its root meaning is to set free, and its main emphasis is on the state of being free.
	We are set free, and we are free.
	Free from what?
	Free from sin.
	We're not free from the obligation of obedience, but we are free in that we can choose not to sin.
	Sin doth remain, but it shall not reign.
	Now let's look at that word lutro.
	In a couple scriptures, 1 Peter chapter 1, and we're going to look at it in verse 18 and 19. For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, As of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
	It is Jesus Christ that sets us free.
	His precious blood that was shed upon the cross.
	Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.
	In the book of Hebrews, in the book of Leviticus, the life is in the blood.
	Nothing Paid for our redemption, but the precious blood of Jesus.
	And it's by that blood that we're set free.
	The amazing power of the blood, that is what covers our sins.
	And when we begin to think, when Satan begins to beat you up and drag you down and send all kinds of his little accusers, Satan is the accuser of the brethren.
	And he's got plenty of people that he can get and bring into your life and mine that are going to try to drag you down.
	But Jesus has defeated Satan.
	That powerful blood has set us free.
	Amen?
	Now let's look at the book of Titus chapter 2 and verse 14. Who gave himself for us that he might redeem.
	Redeem.
	Lutro.
	He wants to set us free.
	The purpose of redemption is freedom.
	We are free in Christ.
	We are free to obey him.
	We have the power of the Spirit.
	Paul said in 2 Corinthians, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
	There is liberty.
	And some will say, well, that means you can do anything you want.
	Well, that means you won't want to do anything, but what is right?
	You will have a new nature within you that will want to choose the good and refuse the evil, and you'll have the power of the Holy Spirit That will enable you to do so.
	Titus 2.14, who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity.
	He wants us to be redeemed and cleansed, 1 John 1 and 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us.
	From all iniquity.
	That's the two goats on the Day of Atonement that we just talked about in that broadcast, the death of Azazel.
	He said that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify, purify unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works.
	You see, if you're zealous, that means you're on fire to do something for Jesus.
	Jesus said in Revelation 3.16, if you're lukewarm, you're spewed out.
	Don't think that the frozen chosen are going anywhere but the vomit pits.
	Those that are on fire for God, the peculiar people, they're zealous for good works, works of obedience, works of building the kingdom of God.
	And it says here that he will purify unto himself.
	Our walk with Christ is a constant road and we talked, we had a lesson on sanctification not long ago.
	It's a walk and a lifetime of learning how to walk pleasing to God and to be purified and to draw closer and closer unto Him.
	And there is none of us That are going to be finished with this sanctification process before we shed this body and go into the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ once and for all, or if you live under the coming of the Lord.
	There's not going to be some phony baloney rapture where we're going to blast out before things get tough, but there will be a catching away.
	1 Thessalonians 4, the catching up of the saints, it will happen in the twinkling of an eye, but it will happen at the end of the tribulation, not before, like the Darbyites are telling us.
	Verb number two, parapolio.
	The emphasis is not on freedom, but on the means of freedom.
	The act of buying or gaining possession of something.
	Thus, through redemption, we become God's property.
	Amen?
	Do you realize that God owns you?
	Yes, He does.
	And we should be real happy with that.
	Let's go to the book of Acts.
	Let's go to the book of Acts and I want to thank each and every one of you that are joining us for the broadcast tonight.
	We want to welcome all of our new listeners.
	We're having so many new listeners and new subscribers to all three of our channels and we're so thankful for that.
	And what we do here It is really pretty simple.
	We have a simple message, Jesus Christ, the doctrine of Christ and the commandments of God.
	We believe all the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
	We're whole Bible believers and we believe in it all as understood through the marvelous doctrine of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
	Now let's look at this word peripeia.
	Acts chapter 20. And verse 28, and the scripture says here, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
	He hath purchased the ecclesia, and that word there, church, it means the ecclesia, the gathering.
	The ecclesia of the Israel of God is the ecclesia.
	There is no church as separated from the Israel of God.
	The Israel of God is the ecclesia.
	When the Bible talks about the church or the ecclesia, it is the gathering of the Israel of God.
	Absolutely, it's always been about Israel.
	An old covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, and a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
	Hebrews chapter 8, quoting the 31st chapter of the great prophet Jeremiah.
	And through this Jesus loved us and he made us his own through his blood upon the cross.
	That is why we belong to Jesus.
	Because he bought us with his blood.
	He purchased us.
	Let's go to 1 Corinthians chapter 6. 1 Corinthians chapter 6. And we're going to read verses 16 through 20. And the scripture says here, What?
	Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?
	For two, saith he, shall be one flesh?
	Now, just here recently, there was a really good testimony that Adam and Stephanie did on Soul Ties.
	That's there on our Underground Church channel.
	We have a chapter on Soul Ties in our Victims of Victor's book.
	This is so important for every believer to understand.
	If you have not listened to this testimony, you need to do so.
	And this is why you cannot have indiscriminate sexual relations.
	It's like this.
	When you become one, like here it says that two saith he shall be one flesh.
	What?
	Know ye not?
	That he which is joined to inherit is one body, for two saith he shall be one flesh.
	Just like in the marriage, when the man and woman come together physically, they become one flesh.
	Well, no, we just want to have a one-night stand.
	We don't want that.
	Well, it doesn't matter.
	You become one in flesh with someone, even in random sex.
	Now, what that means is You have a man and a woman.
	They're like two pieces of paper and you put glue on one of the sheets of paper and you slam them together.
	And then in a little bit you pull the two pieces of paper together.
	You'll have part of this sheet on that sheet and you'll have part of this sheet on that sheet.
	They're one of the biggest ways For the transfer of spirits is through the sexual act.
	Many people in the cult know this, and they explicitly will transfer devils during the sexual act.
	The dangers of random sex is just absolutely astronomical.
	That's why this is something that needs to be dealt with for your Lutro.
	And this is something that I would recommend to you, our chapter in our book, Victims to Victors.
	Understanding soul ties, repenting, and breaking them soul ties of each and every relationship will give you a little bit of loutro up in here.
	That's right.
	A little bit of freedom in Jesus' name.
	That's why we call the book From Victims to Victors.
	Now, Let's go on.
	1 Corinthians 6, verse 17. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
	Isn't that great?
	Now, when we're born again, we are a body, a soul, and a spirit.
	And the spirit of God is put within our human spirit to join us to Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
	Isn't that something?
	But he that is joined unto the Lord Is one spirit.
	Verse 18, flee fornication.
	Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that commit a fornication sinneth against his own body.
	And literally through fornication and indiscriminate sex.
	You destroy your own body because you're taking.
	It's not just about STDs and venereal disease.
	But the spirits within that individual and the junk and the garbage, you're buying into something you don't want to buy into.
	You're becoming one with something ungodly through an ungodly act.
	There needs to be repentance and cleansing and deliverance.
	This is so important to believe what the Bible says.
	Now, let's look at verse 19. What?
	Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?
	Oh, but yet there's going to be a temple rebuilt in Jerusalem, and the Antichrist is going to go in in the middle of the three and a half years.
	We saw the movie, and that's the temple.
	The temple hasn't been built yet.
	What?
	Know ye not that ye are what?
	Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?
	Jesus taught about one temple in John chapter 2, the temple of his body, which we are members.
	It prophesies in the Old Testament through the great prophets Jeremiah and Zechariah that the branch would build the temple of God, praise God.
	He has built it.
	It's the only temple that God is going to build.
	What?
	Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?
	Everyone will say amen, but I don't believe we're getting it.
	Which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own.
	We are not our own this evening.
	We belong to God.
	We're God's property and we should thank God for that.
	He owns us.
	He has bought us with the price.
	And we are his precious children.
	We are one with him.
	We are his body.
	We are one in the Spirit with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
	Now, in verse 20, For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
	If you are born again believer in Jesus Christ, God owns you.
	And if you are not, you are a slave to Satan, and you need to experience a little bit of Lutro.
	You need to get a little of the freedom that comes through faith in Jesus Christ And the deliverance that comes from his precious shed blood on the blessed cross of Calvary.
	Verb number three.
	I want to read another verse here.
	Let's turn to Romans chapter 1 and verse 1. And I don't know, the idea of people that profess Christ and the ideas that they get In these churches in America, I don't even think that in most cases they have a clue.
	I hate to say that, but Romans chapter 1 and verse 1. The idea basically is, so many times, that once you pray the sinner's prayer, that you're good to go.
	That you're a Christian.
	Don't deny you're a Christian.
	Believe and confess you're a Christian.
	And you're a Christian, but whether anything has really changed in there or not.
	And then you're pretty much good to go and for whatever.
	You know, go to church and You know, go with the program.
	But this is what Romans chapter 1 and verse 1 says.
	Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God.
	Now that word servant is doulos.
	And what that means is a bond slave.
	Absolute bond slave.
	And while we are the biblical picture Is that before you're born again, that you are a slave to Satan.
	You're just like that man in the thumbnail.
	You have the chains upon your wrists, but when Jesus sets you free, you burst those chains, and then you are the slave unto Jesus.
	Now, there's a beautiful teaching in the Old Testament about the bondservant, about the bondservant that willingly gives himself to to his master for service and what they do they take him and you know the little hanging down part of the ear and they take that little hanging down part of the ear and they stretch it out And they put it up against the wall and then the master takes a nail and drives that
	nail through the little hanging down part of the ear.
	And that is proof that you are a doulo slave to your master.
	And the reason why they wanted to do that is they had a good master.
	They had a master that loved them and took care of them and treated them well and rewarded them fairly.
	And that's what we are.
	We are willingly slaves of Jesus Christ.
	Romans chapter 12 and verse 1. Therefore, let me just read that for you.
	This is what we do because we want to.
	We are willing bond slaves.
	And when you realize how great Jesus is, and it's going to give you the greatest joy to understand that you belong to Jesus.
	He owns you.
	That you are his bond slaves.
	In Romans chapter 12 and verse 1. I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
	This is something that we do willingly.
	We come bringing ourselves to the Lord because we want to be his bond slaves.
	The best thing that we could ever be is the slave of Jesus Christ, to be God's properties.
	In verse 2, And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
	And that word world, that word cosmos, if you study that word and we've done this before, We have studied this word throughout the Gospel of John, and the world included the religious system of the day.
	Oh, yeah.
	And we have to separate ourselves from the world.
	And today in America, and I believe wherever you're at on this good old flat earth, That the religious institutions that profess to know Christ, they have indeed become of the world.
	And for several years, that's been our message.
	Come out from among them and be separate.
	And I'm not saying there isn't any assemblies out there that are fine, but I'm saying it's few and far between.
	That this leaven has leavened deep into this American religious establishment all.
	Excuse me.
	We got a little something going on over here.
	There we go.
	All right.
	Excuse me.
	That the religious establishments here in America and all over the earth, they have become so leavened That the best thing for us to do is to come out from among them, be ye separate, and as I always say, let's follow Jesus and let's see who is going to hang out with us.
	Amen?
	Amen.
	And I don't know what.
	Give me just a second here.
	My computers want to act up here.
	Fancy that.
	Who would have thought that would have ever happened?
	All right.
	We're going to look at another verb.
	Verb number three.
	Agoraza.
	Agoraza.
	And this comes from the root noun Agora, which means the actual slave market.
	The slave market was called the Agora.
	And as you might imagine, Agoraza means to be set free from the slave market by paying a ransom.
	And in the Bible days, and even here in America, in the South, and I guess mainly in the South, they would have the slave markets where they would sell human beings.
	And this is abominable.
	This is abominable.
	And slavery was widespread during the Bible days.
	And when someone was put up on a slave market, someone would come and buy the person.
	And then the person that paid the price would own the individual.
	Well, this is the great, beautiful picture of agoriza that Jesus Christ, Jesus has bought us from the slave market.
	When he saw you on that slave block, he loved you.
	It's almost like these old movies where they have a bunch of little kids at the orphanage.
	And when people come around to adopt someone, they're all there and they're hoping, well, boy, I hope they see me and adopt me and get me out of here.
	But Jesus loved us and he saw us.
	He saw something in each and every one of you.
	He has a plan for each and every one of your lives.
	He sees within you a plan and a purpose.
	He has something great planned for you.
	That's why he bought you.
	To be his own when you were in that slave market.
	And Revelation chapter 5 and verse 9, this uses that word, agoraza, which comes from the very root word of the slave market itself.
	Revelation chapter 5 verse 9, And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof.
	For thou wast slain and hast redeemed us, there's our word, to God by thy blood out of every kindred tongue and people and nation.
	In the Israel of God, we are people from every nation, every color, every size, every language, Jesus has paid the price for us all.
	It doesn't matter how much money you have.
	It doesn't matter what color you are.
	It doesn't matter what language you speak.
	Jesus Christ is speaking to us in his love language.
	And when we're born again, there's no race of people better than another.
	The ground is level at Calvary's cross.
	And Jesus has paid the price for us to be his very own.
	What a beautiful picture.
	We are set free from the bondage of the world and sin by our glorious Savior, Jesus Christ.
	Well, let's take a look here at verb number four.
	Now, here in verb number four, ex agorazo.
	And this is the same word, basically, with the prefix X added to it.
	And the word X in the Greek, that prefix means out, out of.
	And it emphasizes being purchased out of the slave market, never to be sold as a slave again.
	You're free and you're free for good.
	And there's no reason that we should ever think Just because we don't believe in unconditional eternal security doesn't mean we don't believe in security.
	If your faith is in Christ, you are secure, and you don't have to worry about being lost.
	All we have to do, as long as we continue in faith and obedience, Jesus is good with that.
	Now, I want to show where this word is used.
	Galatians chapter 3 and verse 13. Galatians the third chapter and the 13th verse.
	Christ hath redeemed us.
	There's our word.
	Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.
	For it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree.
	Jesus became a curse, which according to the law, if you hang upon a tree, you're cursed.
	He became a curse for us to deliver us from the curse of the law.
	Now, I want us to think a little bit How the law is a curse.
	In Romans 7, Paul said the law is holy, just, and good.
	But the law will become a curse unto you if you try to be saved by law or if you try to be sanctified by law.
	We are saved and sanctified by grace.
	The law hath dominion over us.
	Sin is the transgression of the law.
	When we break God's law, we sin, and we need to ask forgiveness for that which we have done.
	But in James chapter 2 and verse 10, there is nobody under the first covenant or under the second that was capable of keeping the law perfectly.
	Now God knows that.
	He made us.
	He knows we're not capable of perfect obedience.
	James chapter 2 and the 10th verse.
	It says here, for whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend at one point, he's guilty of all.
	If you try to be saved or sanctified by the law, You better do it perfectly, and none of us can do that.
	And right on down from this, or I should say right before that, in James chapter 2 and verse 8, He said, if ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself ye do well.
	Love fulfills the law.
	The royal law according to the scripture is that love fulfills the law.
	Now let's go to Matthew 22 and let's read the doctrine of Christ on this most important thing.
	Now here's how it is.
	Let's say we're driving from Indiana to Illinois.
	And as soon as we get, we're driving 70 miles an hour, but we go into Illinois and the speed drops to 60 miles an hour.
	And we don't see the sign.
	And we go through, we're speeding, the police officer pulls us over and gives us a ticket.
	And according to the law, we're guilty, aren't we?
	According to the law, we deserve that ticket.
	But if we have a gracious police officer, he'll say, well, I understand.
	You didn't know that.
	And I will not hold you accountable.
	And that's what Jesus and the Father are.
	They're the good, godly policemen.
	And when we don't understand we're doing wrong, he is not going to punish us for that which we don't know what to do.
	Now, love fulfills the law, so if I really love God's law and want to be obedient to it, I will willingly, every time I learn how to follow it a little better, I'm going to be all about it.
	I'm not going to kick against it and refuse it, but because I love and love fulfills the law, That's what I'm gonna do.
	And that's the only way anyone could be accepted in the Old Testament or the New.
	It was love that fulfilled the law in both.
	Now let's look at Matthew chapter 22 and let's begin with the 37th verse.
	Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
	This is the first and great commandment, and the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
	On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
	Everything that is written in the law and the prophets, whether we obey it To God's satisfaction is according to our heart.
	If we really love it, you know, we're going to love those Ten Commandments.
	And I guarantee you, I'm about ready to do another deep dive into the Ten Commandments.
	It's so needed.
	And the Ten Commandments, they are so deep and so marvelous, and they take in so many things.
	That we really need to be aware of.
	So are we really loving God and trying to conform and serve Him to our best?
	I can't answer that question, but the Father can.
	Love fulfills the law.
	This is what we see and this is what everything in the law and the prophets hang upon that.
	If God's law is in your heart, you love the Lord and your neighbor, you're going to do everything you can.
	To do what the law says in those situations.
	In the book of Romans chapter 13, Romans, the 13th chapter, and let's look at verses 9 and 10. For this, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet.
	And if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
	Love worketh no ill to his neighbor.
	Therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
	Amen.
	And this is what we see also in the Torah.
	In Deuteronomy chapter 6 and verse 4, it wasn't any different.
	In the Old Testament, all of the sacrifices in the Levitical system, they pointed to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, that would come.
	And when he come, those sacrifices were done.
	There was no need for the temple or the tabernacle.
	John 1, 14, Jesus said, the word became flesh and dwelt among us, that word literally, is tabernacled.
	In Deuteronomy chapter 6 and verse 4, And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might.
	And these words which I command thee this day shall be in thine heart.
	And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
	Praise God!
	And this is it.
	Love fulfilled the law under the first covenant, and love fulfilled the law under the second.
	I wrote obedience that wasn't from the heart.
	There are so many scriptures.
	that speak against a lifeless keeping of the law that someone just goes through the motions and they don't really have faith and don't really have love that wasn't acceptable under the first covenant and it's not acceptable under the covenant real love for Jesus Christ to really be his bondservant that is what fulfills the law being lukewarm We'll get you nothing but spewed out.
	In Galatians, in the book of Galatians, let's read the fifth chapter.
	Galatians chapter 5. And let's read the 14th verse.
	For all the laws fulfilled in one word, even in this, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
	But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
	This I say then, walk in the Spirit.
	And ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
	Praise God.
	In Hebrews, the 11th chapter, Hebrews chapter 11, and in the 13th verse, it says, Not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off and were persuaded of them and embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims upon the earth.
	And everyone under the first covenant, they looked forward.
	They knew that a Messiah would come.
	And they knew that those animal sacrifices, that they were just there pointing toward that Messiah that would come and they had faith in the Messiah that would one day come.
	On this side of the cross, We look back to the cross, to the Messiah that did come, Jesus Christ.
	On that side of the cross, they look forward to the Messiah that would come.
	It's faith.
	It was by faith and by love that they fulfilled the requirements of the law and were found right with God, and they died not seeing the promise.
	But just like it says here in Hebrews, That God will make us perfect with them at the same time.
	All we've been studying on the DOC, that all are going to be resurrected at the same time.
	All the believers, Old Testament and New, and even all of those that don't know Christ.
	And they will stand before.
	That great white throne, which is mentioned, Revelation 20, Matthew 25, 31, Romans 14, 10, and 2 Corinthians 5, 10. All the same event.
	Praise God.
	Now, let's look at a very important scripture, and we have to understand that there was the born-again experience in the Old Testament.
	There's a lot of scriptures I could read about Saul that was turned into another man, and many marvelous experiences of the Holy Spirit and regeneration under the first covenant.
	People were saved by grace through faith under the first covenant, and they were saved by grace through faith now.
	That is another one of the huge errors of dispensationalism, that there's different dispensations and there's a different way to get saved and never won.
	Well, that's just a big porky.
	There's only one way of salvation being born again and following the Lord by grace through faith under both covenants.
	Now, let's look at Habakkuk chapter 2 and verse 4. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him, but the just shall live by his faith.
	That's Old Testament, my friends.
	That's First Covenant.
	The just shall live by faith.
	They had faith in the Messiah that would come.
	They had faith that the law was right.
	They loved it.
	And they committed themselves to conforming to it through a love of God and faith in that Messiah that would one day come.
	Habakkuk 2 and 4, the just shall live by faith.
	This was quoted in the great epistle of Romans by the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 1 and verse 17, for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith, from faith to faith.
	We had faith on the first day That we come to Jesus, we have faith on the second day.
	You come to Christ by faith and then you live by faith.
	You live by faith in the cross of Christ and what he did for you there.
	The just shall live by faith under the first covenant, under the new.
	Romans 1.17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the just shall live by faith.
	And it is written in the prophet Habakkuk, in the Old Testament, this is one way of salvation.
	The only difference be under the first covenant, they look to the cross, and under the second covenant, they look back to the cross.
	One savior, one gospel, And there is one way of salvation.
	Now, let's think about this whole picture.
	There is a slave market.
	1 John chapter 5 And verse 19 tells us about the slave market.
	And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
	That means the United States, that means Israel, that means Russia.
	Well, I wonder who the good guy is.
	I wonder if it's Putin or Zelensky.
	The whole world's under the power of the evil one.
	Russia is not a godly nation, and I guarantee you Ukraine ain't either.
	Neither are we, and neither is Israel.
	Just like the Bible says, the whole world lieth in wickedness.
	Each and every government of this world is under the power of the devil.
	And each and every person that is without Christ, they are a slave to Satan.
	It's about redemption tonight.
	It's about being set free not only from sin, but the slavery of Satan and the bondage to this world to where we can live in freedom and obedience to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
	And when you are in this world, you have a slave master.
	You know, a lot of people think, well, boy, If God owns me and I gotta serve Him, I don't know about that.
	You know, that might be a little more than I want to do.
	That might take up a little too much of my time, you know.
	Well, 2 Corinthians chapter 4 and 4. Everybody, as Bobby Dillon wrote, you gotta serve somebody.
	And 2 Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 4, it tells you who you're serving if you're not serving Jesus Christ.
	It says, in whom the God of this world.
	Satan is the God of this world.
	1 John 5, 19, it says, this whole world lieth in evil.
	In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
	And Satan uses shiny toys, and it's just like a little baby.
	If you hang a bright twinkling object in front of a little baby, it'll focus on that immediately.
	And it won't pay attention to anything else.
	And that's what Satan is doing.
	He'll dangle those bright, shiny toys in front of your face.
	And you'll think, well, man, that is just wonderful.
	And you'll be so content.
	And many people love serving Satan.
	They might not really realize they are, but they love serving Satan, serving self, serving sin, and so many people that name the name of Christ, they're really serving the devil, and the devil really is their father.
	So this is something we have to understand that if you're in that world system, that Satan is your master.
	Now, who are the slaves?
	Who are the slaves?
	In Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 1, and you Hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins, wherein in times past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.
	Well, I don't have to keep the law.
	What are you?
	You're a child of disobedience.
	You're either a child of obedience or child of disobedience, aren't you?
	Now, it's not too good.
	It's not too good for people that, you know, you can profess Christ, you can say the sinner's prayer, you can read Charles Stanley books till your eyes pop out.
	But it's going to be the Word of God that's going to be true.
	And you're either a child of obedience or Or you are a child of disobedience.
	So all of humanity were the slaves.
	The slave market is the entire world.
	The slave master is Satan.
	The slaves are all of humanity.
	But for God so loved the world.
	That he gave his only begotten son to redeem us from the slavery of the slave market.
	And he give us four verbs in our Greek New Testament to understand the full power of that redemption and being set free in Christ.
	And what is the problem?
	You know, a lot of people, they don't want to admit what the problem is.
	But Isaiah 59 and 2, it tells us what the problem is.
	The problem is sin.
	But your iniquities have separated between you and your God.
	Everyone, we read Romans 5 and 12, everyone that is born, we are born a sinner in need of a savior, God, in the book of Habakkuk again, he says that God is too holy even to look upon evil.
	The Father cannot look upon us in our condition until we cover our sins with the blood of Jesus.
	There is a holy God.
	He is a loving God, but he is also holy and he is righteous.
	And that's why God so loved the world.
	He sent Jesus to cover our sins with his blood that we might be brought back into He says, Can take care of that.
	Anyone right now that you realize that you're a slave to Satan, that you're a slave to this world system, I guarantee you this world system is a hard taskmaster.
	It will chew you up and spit you out.
	It will have no mercy upon you.
	But into that slave market, Walk Jesus Christ and he is the highest bidder.
	Satan can offer you so many shiny toys.
	He'll say he'll give you this or give you that.
	He told Jesus that he would offer him all the kingdoms of the world.
	Hebrews chapter 2 verse 14. For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil, and deliver them who were through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
	We don't need to fear death.
	If we belong to Christ, if we have been purchased by His blood, we have freedom and redemption in Jesus Christ.
	And what was the ransom price in Colossians chapter 1?
	Let's read Colossians chapter 1. and let's read verse 14 and let's see the price and you know what it is Colossians chapter 1 and verse 14 in whom we have redemption Through His blood.
	I want everyone to say with me, through His blood.
	In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
	Now, I want to read that for you out of the Apostate Bible.
	One of the many.
	This is the NIV. It could be the Nearly Inspired version, the Nephilim-inspired version, the Nutcake International version.
	Take your pick.
	But in Colossians chapter 1 and verse 14, this is how it reads in the NIV. I'll give you the King James first.
	Colossians 1.14, in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of our sins.
	NIV, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
	What just went south, my friends?
	The NIV took the blood of Jesus out of that verse.
	Now I want to ask you, I want to ask people, and I know that I'm speaking to the choir, that most of our FOJC radio listeners know the King James as the Bible, but does that bother you, NIV user?
	Does that bother you that your Bible takes the blood out of that verse?
	Does it bother you that it takes the precious blood of Jesus out?
	If it doesn't, it should.
	If it doesn't, it should.
	And you need to get a clue.
	Do you really think that maybe the Holy Ghost took the blood of Jesus out to make this Bible better and more accurate?
	Well, I like the way it reads.
	Well, so does the devil.
	That gives you something in common with the devil.
	The devil loves the blood being taken out.
	You need to get a clue and figure it out and get rid of those things.
	Get rid of them and get in the real Bible.
	How can anybody That loves Jesus and be born again, not figure out that taking the blood of Jesus out of the Bible isn't a good thing.
	You know, this isn't hard, so throw those apostate Bibles in the trash where they belong.
	And how many of these?
	We do these all the time.
	All the time we show you these horrific abominations.
	Any one of them should be enough for you to get rid of these apostate Bibles.
	John chapter 8. John chapter 8. And let's look at verse 34. Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
	Sin is the transgression of the law, and sin's addictive.
	We've all pretty much figured this out.
	If you commit sin, you are going to be the servant of sin.
	In Romans, Romans in the sixth chapter.
	Romans the sixth chapter.
	And that's what we need.
	We need to word up.
	We need to get the word of God in our heart.
	We need to get the Bible, Bible, Bible.
	Romans chapter 6 and verse 14. And it says here,"...for sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under the law, but under grace." And not being under the law as a covenant doesn't mean that the moral law has passed away, but that means that that first covenant has been replaced by the new, praise God.
	We're not under the law as a way of salvation or sanctification, but if we need to hear it again, we could go to what Paul said in Romans 3 and verse 31. He said, do we then make void the law through faith?
	God forbid we establish the law.
	But we don't live by law with the understanding, if I can just keep it perfect, I'll be good, you can't do it.
	But your love to want to keep it, that is what's going to be accepted by God.
	And love does fulfill the law.
	And let's go to the Gospel of John.
	Everybody take a drink of coffee.
	Now, Let's go to the Gospel of John.
	Let's go to the 8th chapter.
	And let's read the 34th verse.
	John chapter 8 and verse 34. And the scripture says here, Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, saying to you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
	And I just read that, didn't I? We'll have an instant replay, don't we?
	All right, that's worth another shot.
	Now let's read at verse 31 and 32. Then Jesus said to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then ye are my disciples indeed.
	That means continuing in his word, the doctrine of Christ.
	That doesn't mean to say you believe in Jesus and say, well, his words don't apply to me.
	That will come in in the millennial reign.
	I don't think that's going to cut it.
	In verse 32, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
	Free from what?
	Free from sin that makes you a captive.
	You're the servant of sin if you commit sin.
	Sin is the transgression of the law, but the power of Christ will set you free.
	He will not only forgive you of your sin, But he will put the Holy Spirit within you to give you a desire to do what's right and also to empower you and give you the ability to do obedience that's acceptable unto him.
	And in our flesh, we need to understand that that is not capable.
	In the book of Job, we have the beautiful passage Beautiful book of Job.
	In verses 32 and verse 33, it talks about the daysman.
	For he is not a man as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
	Neither is there any daysman betwixt us that he might lay his hand upon us both.
	And Job cried out for the daisman.
	He cried out for a mediator.
	You know, Job said, well, God ain't a man like me.
	I need somebody that can be a go-between between me and God.
	And of course, the great faith of Job rose up.
	I'll read that to you.
	I'll turn over to Job, the 19th chapter.
	And in Job, Chapter 19, beginning in verse 25, you know, the devil took Job down to where he even wished that he hadn't been born, but yet the Lord took him up to the very height and his faith come through.
	He didn't forsake God and God didn't forsake him.
	In Job chapter 19, verse 25, for I know that my Redeemer liveth, There was no daysman then that could lay his hand upon God and Job at the same time, but he knew that his Redeemer was alive, that Redeemer that would bring redemption, that would bring those four verbs of freedom one day to Job.
	For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth, And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
	Job knew that even if he died of that terrible suffering he had that one day, He would see God face to face, and indeed he will.
	Right now Job is in the presence of the Lord, and there will be a time when our Lord and Savior comes back, when he resurrects the dead, changes the living in a twinkling of eye, and the Old Testament saints that are with him, and all Christians that have died before his return, he'll bring them with him.
	Yes, he will.
	And there will be that great gathering.
	This is what we call the kinsman redeemer because they're in the Old Testament.
	There had to be someone that was a relative to come in and settle disputes.
	He was called the kinsman redeemer.
	And that's what Jesus is for everyone that is trapped in this old slave market.
	Let's look at it in Hebrews, the second chapter.
	Hebrews chapter 2 verses 14 and 15. As the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same.
	He became man.
	He is the man Christ Jesus.
	He was fully God and fully man at the same time.
	Therefore, he could lay his hand upon mankind and upon God at the same time and be our kinsman redeemer.
	For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil, and deliver them who were through fear of death for all their lifetime subject to bondage.
	We certainly need to know and understand that we have a great kinsman redeemer, and there is no other There is no other redeemer.
	There are not two gospels.
	There's not two ways of salvation.
	Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
	No man cometh unto the Father, but by him there's only one mediator.
	And when Jesus died upon the cross, he said in John 19 30, it is finished.
	Teletestai.
	It is finished.
	He didn't say to be continued.
	He didn't say, well, I've died on the cross and the Catholics are going to have to re-sacrifice me on every Mass or like the Seventh-day Adventists.
	Well, Jesus died upon the cross and that was good, but it didn't cleanse the heavenly sanctuary.
	So don't you know Jesus come back in the 1800s and cleansed the heavenly sanctuary and then we're going to have an investigative judgment.
	That's all a bunch of nonsense.
	Or like the Mormons, they say, well, you know, Jesus died for sins.
	That was great, but he didn't die for murder or adultery.
	So if there's some of you girls or guys have committed adultery, oh, bring them young, had his avenging angels, and they'd go kill you to save your soul.
	All of these Let's just call them a cult.
	Let's just call them what they are because they have erred from the teaching of the cross.
	And if you're wrong on the cross, Let me tell you what, you're wrong.
	When Jesus said, it is finished, teletestai, he did not say to be continued.
	It is finished.
	It is done, done, done.
	All the sins of everyone in the slave market have been paid and you can come out in to the glorious freedom of Jesus Christ.
	In 1 Timothy, 1 Timothy chapter 2, Verse 5 and 6. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all.
	Sorry about you, Calvinists.
	He gave himself a ransom for all to be testified In due time.
	That means for God so loved the world, everyone in that slave market, he loved you and he died as a ransom for you.
	He give us a New Testament with the four verbs of freedom that we might know the totality of salvation in Christ.
	It was finished at the cross and every blessing that you get In your spiritual life is through faith in the cross.
	Anything that comes any other way, it's illegitimate and it's not of God.
	Every bit of power to overcome sin is through faith in the cross.
	When we keep our faith in the cross, the Holy Spirit will be released unto us to give us that overcoming power where sin, though it doth remain in us, there will never be a time when this sinful flesh We'll not be with us, but we can fight against the iniquities.
	We can fight against it.
	And while sin doth remain, it shall not reign.
	Romans, the eighth chapter and the second verse.
	For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
	There's nothing stronger than the law of sin and death except the law of the Spirit of life in Christ which tells us that if we place our faith in the cross from faith to faith, the first day, the second day, the third day, if we keep our faith In the cross of Christ and just serve Him out of a heart of love.
	The Holy Spirit will be released unto you to give you that overcoming power.
	And if it gets to where you feel like you're walking through the mud and you're pulling your feet out of mud, and you know when you're in mud, you pull it out and it'll You'll hear the sucking sound.
	Well, let me tell you what.
	The Lord will send his S-O-N to have the S-U-N shine upon you and dry that mud up.
	Keep your faith in him.
	There is no temptation.
	Once again, 1 Corinthians 10, 13. There hath no temptation that has taken you, but such as is common to man.
	And God is faithful.
	Keep your faith in Jesus, the just lived by faith.
	Keep trusting.
	Keep believing.
	Keep repenting.
	Keep praying for cleansing.
	Fight that good fight of faith.
	And in the end, you will be rewarded with the crown of life, praise God.
	In Matthew, the 11th chapter, Matthew chapter 11. This is the invitation to each and every one.
	If you realize this evening, That you're a servant of Satan.
	Do you realize, you know, Satan is a hard taskmaster.
	He'll lie to you, and I tell you what, I've done things that nearly killed me, and I know there are people that are listening to the broadcast tonight.
	You've done things that could have killed you if it wasn't for the grace and protection of God.
	And Satan wants to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus wants to give you life.
	If you will just repent of your sin and believe that Jesus died upon the cross for you, you can have eternal life and you can have freedom.
	You can have all four of them verbs all wrapped up in the cross of Christ.
	He will set you free from the slave market of Satan.
	And this is the invitation.
	Any of you that do not know Jesus Christ, just pray that prayer right now.
	God be merciful to me, a sinner.
	I repent.
	I believe the gospel.
	Lord, I trust you.
	I want to serve you out of a heart of love.
	All my days.
	Romans 10 and 9, that thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ.
	Jesus, you are my Lord.
	I want to serve you.
	I want to be your bond slave.
	I give myself to you as God's property.
	Praise God.
	You can have forgiveness and eternal life right now.
	And if you pray that prayer, we love to hear from you.
	Send us an email.
	Write us a letter.
	And let us know that you've made a decision for Jesus Christ so we can pray for you.
	Matthew 11, beginning in verse 28. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
	Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
	For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
	Jesus is not a hard taskmaster.
	He will make serving Him an absolute joy.
	You will never regret coming to Jesus.
	I guarantee you that.
	You will love Him more each and every day that you serve Him.
	And with that, we are going to conclude our teaching for this evening.
	And as always, with great thankfulness to all of you, and especially to Brian Reese that makes this possible.
	And I'm going to have Brian come on and big remember tonight.

	These are some extra names, and like I say, we did our very best.

	But there's some here that want to be added, and maybe some of these we missed.
	So these are coming in from Dan.
	And we want to add these to the Choose You This Day list, which I think our grand total is, I believe here it is 637 names that took a stand against the pagan holidays and for the holidays of God.
	So I want to read these names here before we close.
	And like I say, we apologize if we miss you the first time.
	We did our best.
	It was a big job.
	So we'll just make it perfect here with this.
