  1. Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is

  2. inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

  3. subscribe and support this podcast. So we are mere Nathal Ministries and now Redemption

  4. draweth nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. I

  5. am your host, Matthew Miller. It's good to be with you today,

  6. this monumentous day. For when night falls tonight, March the twenty fourth,

  7. twenty twenty four, it is the Lord's passover. Tonight is the penumeral eclipse

  8. of the moon. So we even have a blood moon to boot on the

  9. Lord's Passover, which if you didn't know, I'll tell you up front.

  10. I firmly hope that we have entered the birth Pains and this may very well

  11. be our very first passover in the birth Pains. You also need to be

  12. aware of this that if you look on your calendars, you're going to be

  13. confused because everybody else says that the passovers not till next month in April.

  14. Well, just take note that not only astronomically speaking, because astronomically speaking,

  15. passover is the first full moon after the spring equinox agriculturally speaking, it's also

  16. Passover. So we have two witnesses, both the astronomical and the agricultural.

  17. And by agricultural, you need to know this. Yes, the barley harvest

  18. in Israel is right and ready to harvest her. The care wright Jews,

  19. what does that mean? What's a k write Jew? A care write Jew

  20. believes in the Bible alone. They completely reject all that the Rabbi say,

  21. all the many Now there's I mean, thousands upon thousands of laws they've heaped

  22. upon the Jews. The careright Jews alone reject all that, and they just

  23. go off the Bible. So both the astronomical witness and the agricultural witnesses prove

  24. that the Judaizers are lying to you. Passover is sundown tonight. That's when

  25. Passover is. My first message that I gave publicly that I broadcast across the

  26. airwaves was called the Black Wave, and it detailed the effects that happened in

  27. the black blizzards back in the Great Depression as a harbinger of what's to come

  28. during the Great Tribulation. This message I'm giving you tonight is infinitely more important

  29. than this. I would say, as far as any Christian who has been

  30. saved from their sins. This is the most important message I could ever give

  31. to you, because the message tonight is to you those people that have been

  32. saved from their sins through faith, Lord Jesus Christ. You need to know

  33. this. You must be born again. You must be born again. This

  34. is resoundingly proved out in John chapter three. You must be born again.

  35. You must be born again. In John chapter three. There are three who

  36. narrate this chapter. The Lord Jesus Christ gives the backbone. The two other

  37. people who give narration in this chapter is Nicodemus and John the Baptist. It's

  38. Nicodemus that puts forth the riddles, and in this chapter the riddles are many

  39. ladies and gentlemen, because five questions are asking this chapter. If you bring

  40. up this chapter using an electronic program, just do a search for the question

  41. mark it's it's It comes up repeatedly in this chapter. Not only that,

  42. we can go one step further because the Greek word for question is also in

  43. here. Zitsis in Greek. Zitsis in Greek. That's G twenty two fourteen.

  44. It's in verse twenty five. So not only are there five questions in

  45. here. The Greek word for question or debate is in here too, making

  46. a total of six. Now we all know this that the Lord worked for

  47. six days and on the seventh day he stopped. He's Sabbath. That's something

  48. you also need to know. The Greek word for Sabbath is different than the

  49. he the Hebrew word for Sabbath. Everybody thinks that and they want it to

  50. mean sabbath, and that's okay. The root word for that means stop to

  51. cease, because God stopped working on that day. If you're new to the

  52. program, you need to know this. You need to bring something to write

  53. with and something to write on if you're going to participate in Marianatha ministries,

  54. because I've got a lot of information to relate to on. And if you've

  55. been saved from your sins, it's paramount that you received this message from the

  56. Lord Jesus Christ, straight from John chapter seven or John chapter three. You

  57. must be born again. You must be born again. He emphatically says this.

  58. He declared, this is a proclamation of the Lord Jesus Christ. You

  59. must be born again. And he gives you example so you'll know what he's

  60. talking about what that means. So let's take it from the top. This

  61. time we're switching it up. This time we're going to use for this Bible

  62. study, for this Bible lesson. This is a Bible lesson. I know

  63. that this generation calls it a teaching. This isn't a teaching. This is

  64. a Bible lesson. Because the Bible is the most important reference text book.

  65. Then you can add that you could ever purchase, and as a matter of

  66. fact, it is the most widely purchased reference book text book in all of

  67. history. Look it up for yourself. It's been the world's best seller for

  68. so many decades in a row. No book could ever possibly rival the net

  69. sales for the Bible, God's Holy Word. It is a textbook. It

  70. is the greatest reference book that has ever been produced by the inspiration of the

  71. Holy Spirit. Tonight we're using the revised Geneva translation for this Bible lesson,

  72. starting from verse one John chapter three. Now, there was a man of

  73. the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to

  74. Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are

  75. a teacher from God, for no one could do these miracles that you do

  76. except God were with him. Here comes the very first introduction. We get

  77. that this is a teacher rabbi. We have both of these phrases as she's

  78. here. In the Greek, Nicodemus calls Jesus rabbi. He calls him rabbi

  79. in Greek. That is G. Forty four sixty one. Then he says

  80. that you are a teacher diodescalos diodescalos in Greek. That's G. Thirteen twenty.

  81. Very important. Rabbi is going to be used again. But here Nicodemus

  82. is declaring that the only one in this chapter that's going to teach anything is

  83. the Lord Jesus Christ. Verse three. The Lord gives his reply. Jesus

  84. answered and said to him, truly, truly, I say to you,

  85. unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Now

  86. this is a startling statement to make to somebody who is a pharisee and ruler

  87. of the Jews. Jesus is coming right out and telling him, and I

  88. appreciate your pharisee, and I appreciate your leader of the Jews, but you're

  89. not in the kingdom of heaven and you're not going to enter it. You

  90. must be born again. This sends a shockwave through this well, This high

  91. and mighty Pharisee sends a shockwave through Wait a minute, Wait a minute,

  92. what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Nicodemus? Verse

  93. four. Nicodemus said to him, how can a man be born? Who

  94. is old? Can he entered to his mother room again and be born?

  95. Here? It is questions one and two. It's like a double barrel shotgun.

  96. He pulls both triggers at once. Now, this is a very strange

  97. thing that Jesus has said to him, because in the Greek he says born

  98. again. These are two Greek words. The first one, born is G

  99. ten eighty ganah oh, it's kanah to be born. And then he says

  100. a very strange Greek word in conjunction with it, it's G five oh nine.

  101. It's an o thin an oh thin. Who where does that come?

  102. For ladies and gentlemen, this Pharisee knows exactly where that word comes from.

  103. It doesn't mean again, that's not what it means. Even though every Bible

  104. translation you get a hold of it will say that you must be born again.

  105. That's not what Anthon means. It means from above. You must be

  106. born from above. Now, how can we prove this utilizing the Greek text?

  107. It's easy. Just go to exit this chapter twenty five. It's in

  108. verses twenty one twenty two. Exodus chapter twenty five, verses twenty one and

  109. twenty two. I'm going to read it from the Thompson translation of the Sebtuligen.

  110. It says, and thou shalt put the propitiatory upon the arc, and

  111. into the arc, thou shalt put the testimonies which I give THEE. And

  112. there I will make myself known to THEE and speak to THEE from above the

  113. propitiatory, and from between the two cherubs, which are on the arc of

  114. the testimony, touching all that I give THEE in charge to the children of

  115. Israel. Now, this is a very strange word, this propeciatory. What

  116. is that? A lot of translations say the mercy seat. This is above,

  117. it is above the ark of the covenant. Here in the Greek,

  118. I don't think that's what it is. That's what it is in Greek.

  119. I don't think it is above. You must be born from above. That's

  120. what Jesus is saying here, And of course this pharisee knew exactly what Jesus

  121. was referencing. Well, how can you be born? How can you be

  122. born from above? How can you be born from above? So that's why

  123. he rapids fires both these questions at once. He just pools both triggers on

  124. this double barreled question. Jesus answer is as follows. Jesus answered, truly,

  125. truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and

  126. of the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. That which is

  127. born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of spirit is spirit.

  128. Do not marvel that I said to you you must be born again.

  129. Here we go again, same exact phrase in Greek, same exact word in

  130. Greek. G ten eighty plus G five oh nine. Again, I hope

  131. anton born from above. But take note, he is telling Nicodemus this comes

  132. in two phases. When you are saved, you can be baptized with water.

  133. Jesus is saying, that's fine and dandy. You must be born again.

  134. You must be born again. So he is telling Nicodemus point blank,

  135. you can repent, you can believe in me. And that's exactly what Nicodemus

  136. was doing. He was performing and Denomian free grace. He was just believing

  137. in the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what his initial statements declared. Jesus Christ

  138. is declaring, you must be born again into the Kingdom of Heaven. But

  139. Nicodemus came to Jesus declaring that, hey, I believe in you. Now.

  140. To take note, this is the very chapter wherein the Lord Jesus Christ

  141. gives the most famous verses of verses right John three point sixteen. We're not

  142. there yet, but Jesus here is saying believing is not enough. Even the

  143. demons believe and shutter. You know that Versus in a New Testament. Don't

  144. you Believing is not enough. Let's go back up to where Nicodemus declared that

  145. he believed in Jesus. He says, and I quote Rabbi, we know

  146. you are a teacher from God, for no one can do these miracles that

  147. you do except God. Well with him. He believed Jesus was from God,

  148. and he was the teacher from God. And he knew that because of

  149. the miracles Jesus performed, you would call this believism. Today, many many

  150. anti Nomian free grace heretics think they can ahore their way into the Kingdom of

  151. Heaven. They think they don't have to tell the truth. They can steal,

  152. they can lie. Even though even the Book of Revelation itself says that

  153. no liar will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, they still believe all they have

  154. to do is believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and they get

  155. a free ride into heaven. They think that if you believe Jesus is the

  156. son of God, God gives you a license to sin. Jesus just shot

  157. that down. He just shot it down. Jesus said Nicodemus, I don't

  158. care if you believe in me or not. You must be born again.

  159. That's what this is saying. That's what this is trying to relate to you.

  160. Verse eight. Jesus expands on this. He says, the wind blows

  161. where it will, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot hell from

  162. where it comes and where it goes. So is every man who is born

  163. of the spirit. Nicodemus answered and said to him, this is riddle number

  164. three. How can these things be? Jesus answered and said to him.

  165. Now, Jesus says that Nicodemus is the Diodascalos. That's right, Nicodemus,

  166. he called Jesus Diodascalos up in verse two. Now Jesus turns right around and

  167. calls Nicodemus the Diodescalos, the teacher. Are you a teacher of Israel?

  168. And no, not these things. Here's the fourth riddle and it's purported by

  169. the Lord Jesus Christ. He begins to riddle Nicodemus. Now I'm asking you

  170. a question, and you're the teacher. Jesus is saying, you teach me.

  171. You don't understand these things. This Pharisee knew exactly that it was the

  172. Chakaina glory that was above the Ark of the Covenant. He knew exactly where

  173. I know Finn was used in the Septulogen because that's what he was using and

  174. writing from and reading from. Yes, he was. We have absolute one

  175. percent proof of this. Nicodemus was in no way, shape or form familiar

  176. with the Masoretic texts. The Masoretic text wasn't invented until seven hundred AD.

  177. That's seven hundred years later than this conversation. What was used in the synagogue.

  178. That's why the New Testament repeatedly quotes from the Septulogen. That's why.

  179. And this pharisee knew exactly what Jesus was saying. You must be born from

  180. above. You mean, you must be born from the Chicaina glory the spirit.

  181. That's why Jesus said this to him. You must be born of the

  182. rulac in a Hebrew. Did I catch your attention, ladies and gentlemen.

  183. He's saying that you must be born of the spirit. You must be born

  184. of the spirit. That usually gets people attention when you inform them that.

  185. Well, that's why Jesus said verse eight. Because in the Greek there in

  186. verse eight, the wind is nom that's G. Forty one fifty one.

  187. In Hebrew, there's is ruloc wind spirit. You can interchangeably, ladies and

  188. gentlemen, swap out this word for wind and spirit. It's the same thing.

  189. And this is why he says. That's why bring up any translation.

  190. It says the wind that's G. Forty one fifty one. It begins with

  191. numa and it ends with numa. Yes it does, but in order to

  192. see it, you have to be looking the Greek, this verse begins with

  193. numa and ends with numa. But in English you're getting tripped up because you're

  194. seeing with your eyes. You're thinking that spirit and wind are two different things,

  195. because in most translations that's what happens. The first word in verse eight

  196. is wind and the last word is spirit. No, in Greek, it's

  197. the same thing. In Hebrew. If you consult the Hebraka, you'll see

  198. it. Do you not know what the Hebraka is? It is the much

  199. New Testament coupled with the Masoretic Oald Testament. That's the same thing here,

  200. same word. And Nicodemus knows exactly what he's talking about. And he knows

  201. better than to counter the Lord Jesus Christ, because the Lord Jesus Christ riddled

  202. him. He said, no, no, no, no, no,

  203. Nicodemus, you are the adascolous, you are the teacher. Riddle me,

  204. and it it knit back Pharisee in the bud. He knew better than to

  205. open his mouth. You're believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Are not enough.

  206. The Lord Jesus is saying to Nicodemus, you must be born of the

  207. rule. You must be born of the numa, You must be born from

  208. the breath of life that comes out of God's nostrils. Do you know that

  209. phraseology from the Testament? Are you familiar with the Bible enough that you realize

  210. that God says that that the breath of life is from God's nostrils. That's

  211. the numa in Greek, it's the ruak in Hebrew. So as soon as

  212. the Lord Jesus Christ himself interjects the fourth riddle in verse ten, nips Nicodemus

  213. in the butt. He don't ever say another thing. And with that he

  214. says, I'm gonna put the period at the end of this sentence. So

  215. the Lord Jesus Christ expands on it. Now he's left Nicodemus speechless, continuing

  216. on verse eleven. Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak

  217. that we know, and testify that we have seen, but you do not

  218. receive our witness. If I tell you of earthly things, you do not

  219. believe. How shall I How shall you believe if I tell you of heavenly

  220. things? For no one ascends to heaven except he who descended from heaven,

  221. the Son of Man who is in heaven. Stop the bust ladies and gentlemen,

  222. we all know that the Son of Man is the Lord Jesus Christ.

  223. And he's not in heaven right now, is he? How can he be

  224. in heaven if he's sitting here talking to Nicodemus. He is speaking maximum prophetic

  225. right here, be speaking maximum prophetic here Verse thirteen. For no one ascends

  226. up to heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man,

  227. who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,

  228. so much son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him

  229. should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loves the world

  230. that he has given his only begotten son, that who soever believes in him

  231. should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send his

  232. son into the world that he should condemn the world, but that the world

  233. through him might be saved. Take note, might be saved. Verse eighteen.

  234. The one who believes in him is not condemned, but the one who

  235. does not believe is condemned a wrecky because he has not believed in the name

  236. of the begotten Son of God, the only begotten Son of God. And

  237. this is the judgment that the light came into the world, and man loved

  238. the darkness rather than light, because their deeds are or were evil. For

  239. everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light lest

  240. his deeds should be exposed. But the one who practices truth comes to the

  241. light that his works done according to God might be made visible. What is

  242. the Lord Jesus Christ declaring here? We've already figured out that. He's saying

  243. that believing is not enough. If you continue to practice the deeds of darkness,

  244. you have not been born again. He's telling Nicodemus, I know that

  245. you follow all the law, the YadA, YadA, YadA. Most of

  246. you don't even know how many laws are in what the Judaizers call the krah

  247. or six hundred and thirteen. Now, of course the rabbis have on I

  248. don't know six hundred and thirteen thousand by this time. I mean, my

  249. goodness, they have it. So you can't even carry keys in your pocket.

  250. That's working. No, No, that's ridiculous. The Lord Jesus Christ

  251. hears. He's saying to Nicodemus, you practice deeds of darkness, you are

  252. not born again. It's your deeds ladies and gentlemen, if you continue in

  253. your sins, you can believe in the Lord Jesus Christ all you want to,

  254. just like the demons do. He is emphatically saying here that Nicodemus just

  255. practices believism. He just believes he believes, and he continue visiting prostitutes and

  256. being addicted to heroine, and lying and stealing like a kleptomaniac and selling the

  257. stolen goods on eBay. Look, the Lord Jesus Christ is declaring what the

  258. proof is for being born again. I'm gonna read it again. He's very

  259. thorough, very clear. Believing in Greek is different than it's what you believe.

  260. It is. To believe is to put your trust in that. It

  261. means a whole lot more than just believe. It means to trust him.

  262. To put your confidence in verse eighteen, you very well could have been saved

  263. and been baptized in water. The Lord Jesus Christ is saying you to do

  264. this verse eighteen. The one who believes in him is not condemned, but

  265. the one who does not believe is condemned already because he is not believed in

  266. the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment.

  267. What's the judgment, ladies and gentlemen. Do you believe in the Lord Jesus

  268. Christ, but you continue in your deeds. Let's just go ahead and read

  269. it. And this is the judgment that the light came into the world,

  270. and man loved the darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

  271. For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light

  272. lest his deeds should be exposed. But the one who practices truth comes to

  273. light that his works done according to God might be made visible. What is

  274. this talking about, ladies and gentlemen. He's talking to a pharisee. And

  275. the pharisee knows exactly where I know. Fin is used in the Septuagin,

  276. especially in Exodus Chat. Twenty five. That's the Chicaina glory. That's the

  277. light, the light that shone above the cropitiatory, as the Thompson translation put

  278. it, the mercy seat, the Chicano glory. If you continue stealing,

  279. if you continue lying, ladies and gentlemen, you have not been born again.

  280. You have not been born again. You're practicing believism, your antinomian What

  281. does that mean? It means you are without law. It means you think

  282. that the free grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is a license from God to

  283. continue sinning. Jesus Christ is diometrically opposed to that, and he saying this

  284. in the perfect way that Nicodemus will understand it. It is the perfect way

  285. that Nicodemus will understand it. Only somebody, a pharisee who there's no debating

  286. that he did not know the Bible, God's holy word. Jesus himself called

  287. him a teacher. Remember, there is no taking this back. There's no

  288. taking it back. Of course, that's what Jesus was talking about. She

  289. knew exactly what this pharisee knew. They knew exactly what was going on.

  290. This pharisee knew exactly what was taking place. Ladies and gentlemen, you must

  291. be born again. When you get saved and make a proclamation of belief and

  292. confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ as you're savior, you'll get baptized. You

  293. need to have an experience with the Lord Jesus Christ. This will trigger you

  294. being born again. You must turn from your sins. That's why the rest

  295. of this chapter is incorporated into John's final testimony. Johny himself comes right out

  296. here and says it again. He literally says it a different way. He

  297. says it a different way than Jesus just put it that you must be born

  298. again. Making a public statement that you have put your confidence into Lord Jesus

  299. Christ as the Son of God is not enough, Ladies and gentlemen. Let's

  300. go to John's last testimony. Let's read this last little bit. Listen to

  301. what John is saying. After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into

  302. the land of Judea and stayed there with them and baptized. Okay, so

  303. you need to understand this up front. The Lord Jesus Christ is baptizing on

  304. one side of the river, and John the Baptist is baptizing on the other.

  305. They're both baptizing at the exact same time Verse twenty three. And John

  306. also baptized in Anon near Salem, because there was much water there, and

  307. they came and were baptized, for John was not yet cast into prison.

  308. Then there arose a question zatishas in Greek, this is riddled. This is

  309. question or debate between John's disciples and the Jews about purification think about this,

  310. ladies and gentlemen. Does water baptize water baptism does it purify your body or

  311. your soul? Or do you need to do both. This is a very

  312. important verse here. Let me read it again. There arose a question between

  313. John's disciples and the Jews about purification. When are we When are we pure?

  314. Jesus already told you you must be born again verse twenty six. And

  315. they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, here we go again.

  316. G. Forty four to sixty one. Rabbi, he who was with

  317. you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have borne witness. Behold, he

  318. baptizes and all come to him. Now listen, ladies, gentlemen. Verse

  319. twenty five give you the context the reason why the Jews asked him this question,

  320. because it was about purification. Which baptism purifies us, Your baptism or

  321. Jesus's baptism. That's what's being stated here. John answered and said, in

  322. verse twenty seven, a man can receive nothing except it be given to him

  323. from Heaven that you give to the Lord Jesus Christ. Your pledge of allegiance

  324. is not enough. You must receive from the Lord Jesus Christ. You must

  325. be born again. You must be filled with the dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

  326. This is when you're born again. Verse twenty eight. You yourselves are

  327. my witnesses that I said I am not the Christ, but that I am

  328. sent before him. What is he saying. He's saying, you must first

  329. believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be baptized with water. Then the Lord

  330. Jesus Christ must fill you with the Holy Spirit, with the dwelling of the

  331. Holy Spirit, and you become born again. This is what John is categorically

  332. telling these pharisees. My baptism cannot purify you. Only Jesus' baptizer baptism can

  333. purify you. Verse thirty or verse twenty nine. The one who has the

  334. bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and

  335. hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is

  336. fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. The one who has

  337. come from on high is above all. The one who is of the earth,

  338. is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. The one who

  339. has come from a from heaven is above all, and what has what he

  340. has seen and heard that he testifies, but no one receives his testimony.

  341. The one who has received his testimony has sealed that God is true. What

  342. ladies and gentlemen, when your body has sealed that what God says is true.

  343. It's when you've rejected your own carnal nature. You will cease and desist

  344. from doing what benefits you. You will start being drawn to do that which

  345. benefits the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what John just said.

  346. Your deeds, your actions will testify that what God says is true. Thou

  347. shalt not lie, Thou shalt not steal, that shall not commit abortions.

  348. Let me say that a different way, Thou shalt not murder. That's what

  349. John is saying here emphatically verse thirty four. For he whom God has sinned

  350. speaks the words of God. For God does not give the spirit by measure.

  351. The Father loved the Son and has given all things into his hands.

  352. The one who believes in the Son has everlasting life, and the one who

  353. does not obey the Son shall not see life, But the wrath of God

  354. abides on him. John is telling you very clearly here. If you continue

  355. to act in lawlessness, you are not a born again believer. That's what

  356. he's saying. If you do not obey the Sun, you are not a

  357. born to give believer. Because if you've just been saved and believe in the

  358. Lord Jesus Christ yet continue in the darkness, the wrath of God abides on

  359. you. This is the message of John chapter three. There is no getting

  360. around it, neither any Hebrew or Greek. You have not been born again

  361. if you continue committing lawless deeds of darkness. It's been said so many different

  362. ways. Here it's redundant. You must be born again. You must be

  363. born again. Ladies and gentlemen, getting saved and getting a wild er baptism

  364. is not enough. You will continue in your deeds of darkness. This is

  365. what is being stated here. Let me read verse thirty six again. The

  366. one who believes in the Son of God has everlasting life, and the one

  367. who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of

  368. God abides on him. So this is talking about someone who believes on the

  369. Lord Jesus Christ yet that does not obey him. On what planet would God

  370. ever tell you to lie to your boss. On what planet would the Lord

  371. Jesus Christ tell you to steal from your employer? On what planet would the

  372. Lord Jesus Christ instruct you to abort your baby? Let me read that one

  373. more time. I don't think many of you you have become so indoctrinated by

  374. the doctrines of demons. You're rejecting this because you're so you so want to

  375. cling on to your carnal nature. You love your sins, don't you.

  376. You love your sins more than the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm gonna read verse

  377. thirty six for you again. The one who believes in the Son has eternal

  378. life, and the one who does not obey the Son will not see life,

  379. but the wrath of God abides on him. This is a reiteration of

  380. what the Lord Jesus Christ has already said. This is how the Lord Jesus

  381. Christ puts that very same thing. John said, the one who believes in

  382. him YadA YadA, YadA, But the one who does not obey him YadA,

  383. YadA, YadA. Jesus Christ is going to say the exact same thing

  384. in a different way. Listen, and this is the judgment that the light

  385. came into the world and man loved darkness rather than night because they're what not

  386. there thinking, it says, because their deeds were evil, says to the

  387. Lord Jesus Christ. For everyone who does evil hates the lights and does not

  388. come to the light lest his deeds should be exposed. But the one who

  389. practices truth comes to the light that his work done according to God might be

  390. made visible. The Lord Jesus Christ said in three verses what John said in

  391. verse thirty six. Believism, don't cut it. Once saved, always saved

  392. war. You must be born again, and the only way to do that

  393. is via the dwelling of the Holy Spirit. That's it. And if you

  394. have the in dwelling of the Holy Spirit, you will not break the ten

  395. Commandments. And the last thing on earth you're going to do is violate the

  396. beatitudes. That's what the Lord Jesus Christ just said. The John and Baptist

  397. just said. Just because you're a believer does not mean you're born again.

  398. Even the demons are believers. Oh you think that Satan after tempting the Lord

  399. Jesus Christ for forty days, do you think that the devil doesn't believe that

  400. the Lord Jesus Christ is God the Son. Of course, the devil's a

  401. believer. It being bad, you must be born again to enter the Kingdom

  402. of Heaven. You can only do so through the dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

  403. What this will do is it will take your instincts and Carnalden desires and

  404. completely eradicate them and transform them. No longer will you want to feed your

  405. big fat belly. All of a sudden, if you see somebody that's hungry

  406. and in need, you will have this insatiable desire to go buy them food

  407. and bring it to them so they can eat. It won't make any sense

  408. to you. I'm gonna give you examples, gonna blow your mind because this

  409. has happened to me extremely recently. I don't steal from my employer. When

  410. my employer needs something that I can provide, I'll do it. For example,

  411. there is a piece of equipment at where I work that needed some stainless

  412. steel bolts. I went to God and myself. I have done this numerous

  413. times over my past lifetime. Many employers. If it was something that I

  414. could get that I had the money and get, I would go ahead and

  415. get it and supply the need. It's the opposite of stealing. You think

  416. in your minds if you're just a believer, you think I'm crazy. And

  417. I'm going to tell you why you feel that way. Because you've loved the

  418. darkness more than the light. That's what the Lord Jesus Christ said. So

  419. you continue, And what did he made sure that you knew what it was?

  420. He says, deeds, he says, deeds of darkness. That's what

  421. the Lord Jesus Christ said, deeds, you know. He says it multiple

  422. times. The first deen he says, because their deeds were evil, verse

  423. twenty, lest his deeds should be exposed. You can't get around these words

  424. in Greek. Don't even try it. And don't try thinking you can switch

  425. over the Hebraica and get away with it that way. Either. It's not

  426. gonna work out too well for you. I'm just letting you know, Ladies

  427. and gentlemen, believing is not enough. Once saved, always saved won't work

  428. for you. You must turn from your evil deeds, says the Lord Jesus

  429. Christ. You must be born again. Your carnal desires have to be put

  430. to death, your urge to steal, you're urged to lie, You're urged

  431. to cheat on your spouse. All those things have to die. They have

  432. to die in the darkness. You must come into the light, and when

  433. you do, you will be filled with the Holy Spirit, and your desires

  434. will be changed to heavenly desires. I'm telling you the truth. I don't

  435. care if you were baptized into your denomination and accepted into the ranks of members

  436. of your church when you were born. I don't care. That's cool.

  437. I'm cool with that. I'm just telling you to your faith, not only

  438. the Lord Jesus Christ, but his witness from heaven. John the Baptist says

  439. you must be born again because Christianity is experiential. You must experience Christianity via

  440. the and dwelling of the Holy Spirit. What I'm telling you is true.

  441. I am trying to save your life. I am trying, ladies and gentlemen,

  442. who save you. I'm trying to get you to enter the Kingdom of

  443. Heaven. You know, ladies and gentlemen, what is this word for deeds

  444. in the Greek? It is G twenty forty one er gone err gone to

  445. work. Ladies and gentlemen and act. It is your actions. You cannot

  446. act like the darkness and presume to purport that you are a child of light.

  447. I want to say this again. Both the Lord Jesus Christ and his

  448. fatherly approved witness John the Baptist said it the same thing in the same chapter.

  449. You must be be born again. And here's proof that your hell bound.

  450. Here is proof that God's wrath abides on you. If you continue emitting

  451. deeds of lawlessness and darkness, you must be born again. You must be

  452. born again. It's that simple. You must be born again. Ladies and

  453. gentlemen, you must be born again. I know what I'm telling you is

  454. it's a shock to your system if you've been raised in a once saved,

  455. always saved denomination, or a free Grace denomination, or an Antinomian denomination.

  456. I understand, believe me, I do I understand. But I am here

  457. to tell you you must fight off these doctrines of demons. You must be

  458. born again, saith the Lord Jesus Christ himself. And if you are not

  459. born again, you have the wrath of God abiding on you. You must

  460. be born again. Is this the only time the Bible speaks of This?

  461. Is just Is this just a one horse show and I've got good news for

  462. you. No, it's not. The New Testament comes out again in an

  463. entire chapter and says the same exact thing. This is not the only time

  464. this message is given. What I have spoken to you is true. This

  465. is truth, indeed, ladies and gentlemen, it's truth. Indeed. You

  466. know, where does this come from? Where does this come from? That

  467. people think that you have eternal security, however you want to put it.

  468. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, does God ever say that you have a

  469. license to sin? Really? Where does that come from? Do you know,

  470. ladies and gentlemen, have you ever read the Book of Jude. I

  471. think it's a little stretch if you've not read the Book of Jude and proclaim

  472. yourself to be a Christian, because, ladies and gentlemen, the entire book

  473. is only twenty five verses long. It's not that long. But yet in

  474. it it comes right out and says that there is no such thing is a

  475. license to sin. It doesn't exist. There is no license to sin Jude

  476. verses three and four. You all need to look at this. I'll just

  477. read for you verse four. It's the point This is from the New American

  478. Standard Bible. For certain persons have crept unnoticed, those who were long beforehand

  479. marked out for this condemnation of godly persons who turned the grace of our God

  480. into lisciviousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. What is

  481. this strange word here? Some versions say different things. It means a license

  482. to sin. That's where it comes from. And this verse is condemning you

  483. if you think that there's such a thing as eternal security, and you keep

  484. right on in your deeds of darkness, if you could just keep right on

  485. committing lawlessness. I understand that you look in the different translations. This word

  486. is extremely it's even hard to pronounce. But get something to write with and

  487. something to write on. It's G seven six six in the Strongs Concords.

  488. G. Seven six six. You need to know it. You need to

  489. look it up, you need to study it. And I'm being very serious

  490. with you. Let's read this in the New King James version. What does

  491. it say, for certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were

  492. marked out for this condemnation ungodlymen who turn the grace of our God into lewdness

  493. and deny the Only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. How many different

  494. ways can I put it to you, Ladies and gentlemen, you must be

  495. born again. You cannot continue in your sins. You can't. Even the

  496. devil himself knows better. The revised Geneva translation puts it like this, For

  497. some men have crept in who were long ago pre ordained to this condemnation,

  498. ungodly men who turn the grace of our God into wantonness and deny God,

  499. the Only Lord and our Lord Jesus Christ. Ladies and gentlemen, if you

  500. believe in eternal salvation or eternal security food, the wrath of God abides on

  501. you. That's what John chapter three said. This is also what the Book

  502. of Jude said. You've denied God and his Messiah. You must be born

  503. again. You must be born again. This is part one, Part two.

  504. The Greek does some amazing things. It puts this phrase into one word.

  505. It only appears in one chapter in the whole Bible. It's when you

  506. take born again and combine it into a compound word. It's absolutely beautiful and

  507. wonderful to look at. Ladies and gentlemen, come to grips with what the

  508. Lord Jesus Christ declared to Nicodemus, and John the Baptist witnessed and certified what

  509. the Lord Jesus Christ had said was true to the rest of the Pharisees.

  510. You see risk, go back to John chapter three and look at that one

  511. more time. What actually happened? What's going on here? Okay? Now

  512. there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews,

  513. ladies and gentlemen, verse twenty five. Then there arose a question between

  514. John's disciples and the Jews about purification, which Jews the Pharisees, ladies and

  515. gentlemen. Nicodemus went back and told the Pharisees. So the Pharisees conjured up

  516. a posse and went to go lynch. And that's what the clergy's doing to

  517. you right now. If they have you convinced an eternal security, you can

  518. just continue chapter one, verse four. You better memorize it and figure out

  519. what it says. Expect to part two. Part two of course, will

  520. be you must be reborn Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless,

  521. godspeed, Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries with Matthew Miller.
