00:00God loved us first, a sincere declaration that comes from our hearts, and we know that the Lord loved us, that
00:08He gave his life for us, brothers and sisters; it's not a story, it's real. More than two thousand years ago, God...
00:17He was incarnate, came, and died for us, brothers; that's not a story, it's not something we just imagined.
00:24to have a good time, it's real, that's what happened,
00:28That's what happened, and He came to redeem and save us, because He loves us. God loves with perfect love, because
00:37God is perfect, God is pure, God is light and in Him there is no darkness, and we must think of Him
00:42In this way, He loves us perfectly and girded us with purity on the cross, when because of the sin of
00:49He had to die for our sins, because God does not overlook sin.
00:55But He loved us so much that He gave His life for us, and I also want to read some verses that talk about how
01:03Jesus is our peace. In the world, people search for peace, peace, peace, but there is no peace. Do you know why?
01:10Is there peace?
01:10because he does not know the one who gives peace, he does not know peace itself, which is God, Christ is
01:18Our peace, and there can only be peace if you know Jesus and if He lives in your heart,
01:24And we can all live together in peace, in genuine and real peace, not hypocrisy and hypocritical love, if
01:35This is a reality if we have Jesus as Lord and Savior and Jesus dwells in our hearts.
01:41Then there is peace, because He is our peace, Jesus Christ; there can be no other way of peace. I observe that in
01:50In a society, you generally see human beings living as if in a continuous war,
01:55It seems as if everything around him is an enemy, even brothers and parents; they live in tremendous enmity.
02:04Brothers, you see it, when he speaks,
02:06And when he treats with love or approaches, he always has bad intentions, not the unconverted human being.
02:14Having peace in one's heart is something only those who have Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior can have.
02:20Look at what they tell us in Ephesians chapter 2, it tells us here Ephesians chapter 2 verse 11, it tells us,
02:28Therefore, remember that formerly you Gentiles, insofar as the flesh was called uncircumcised, because of the
02:37called circumcision done by hand in the flesh,
02:42And it tells us here, at that time you were without Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and estranged from the
02:50covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world,
02:55Brothers and sisters, every human being who does not have Jesus Christ is without hope and without God in the world;
03:03hope, but these are hopes based on lies,
03:07And that's not real; true hope is based on truth, on Jesus Christ, so our hope is firm.
03:14And it will be fulfilled in all that we hope for, because it is the truth,
03:19Many people live with expectations and hopes, but these are things that aren't real; they expect things that will never happen.
03:27They will pass, but no, we have real hope,
03:32That is why it says, "There is no hope in the world, but now in Christ Jesus you who once were without hope, but now in Christ Jesus are you who were without hope in the world."
03:38You were far away, but have been brought near by the blood of Christ,
03:43Because He is our peace, brothers, who is our peace? He is, and through the blood of Christ we are near to Him.
03:52God's family,
03:53We belong to the family of God, I'm not going to say more or less, he says, you have become close through blood
04:00of Christ, for He is our peace,
04:02who made both peoples one, breaking down the walls of separation, abolishing in his flesh the enmity of the
04:10law,
04:11the commandments, those expressed in ordinance to create within oneself, to create within oneself of the two one
04:20alone and new man,
04:21Making peace, that is, every man who is in Christ Jesus, is a new man and we can have peace.
04:27one with the other,
04:28Brothers, the ordinances separated them; let me give you an example: no, a Jew did not eat with a Gentile, never.
04:36because he could not live in communion, because the Gentiles ate unclean animals, pigs, other kinds of animals,
04:44He didn't wash his hands when he ate, and other things that were impure, and he couldn't, there was peace, he couldn't, there was
04:50closeness,
04:50Moreover, when Christ came, He taught the truth; when He preached the truth, He taught that what comes from the heart...
04:57That's what defiles a person, not what goes into their mouth, he united, both from the Gentiles and
05:04of the Jews,
05:05Those who are converted become a people, because they believe in God, according to the truth, according to Jesus Christ.
05:10So all of us here, brothers, are the same, each one lived far from God, without hope,
05:17Without Christ, but through faith in Christ Jesus, we are united, and we have peace, for our peace is Jesus Christ.
05:24And we have peace with one another, that we are the family of God, I don't know that in the scripture,
05:29I'm going to read you a couple more verses and then I'll finish; it says here,
05:33And through the cross, he reconciled both of them to God in one body,
05:39By putting to death the hostility through the cross, he reconciled us first to God,
05:44And we have peace with God through faith in Christ Jesus,
05:48And that is why we now have peace with one another, because we are reconciled.
05:52a new man in Christ Jesus, and we are children of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
05:57That is what we all have in common, and we can have peace with one another.
06:02And he said, and came and proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away,
06:08and to those who were near, because through him,
06:11We both have access by the same Spirit to the Father,
06:16So then you are no longer foreigners, nor strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints,
06:22and members of God's family, and tells us,
06:28built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
06:32Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,
06:36built on the foundation of the apostles, brothers,
06:39built on the teaching of the apostles and prophets,
06:43that they all preached Christ, who is the rock,
06:47That's what Scripture tells us; we are all built upon that truth.
06:50in whom all things are built,
06:53in whom the whole building,
06:56Well coordinated, it is growing to be a holy temple in the Lord,
07:06in whom you also are being built together for the indwelling of God in the Spirit.
07:12What are you saying, brothers?
07:13That through faith in Christ Jesus we are the body of Christ,
07:16We are God's buildings,
07:17And we all draw closer to God that way,
07:20and we are sanctified by the word of God,
07:24preached by the prophets and by the apostles who preached Jesus Christ.
07:28And now Christ, through the Holy Spirit, dwells in us,
07:32God dwells within us,
07:34And we are all dwelling places of God.
07:37That's terrible, brothers!
07:38To believe in that wife,
07:40We belong to God's family,
07:42I used to give without hope, without God in the world,
07:44But now we are children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
07:49How great, brothers!
07:50To believe in it, to grasp it,
07:52Put it in your heart, it's absolute truth.
07:55You are a child of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
08:00You are a child of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
08:03That's a big deal, brother.
08:05Big thing.
08:06Lord, we give you thanks for this afternoon, Lord,
08:08for the greatness you gave us,
08:10without any of us deserving it, Lord.
08:13Who are we that You should leave heaven for us?
08:16And that you reconcile us through what you did for us on the cross, Lord.
08:21Lord, we appreciate it with all our hearts, Lord,
08:24what you did for us, Lord.
08:27We approach You with reverence, with respect, with love,
08:30But without fear because we know that God loves, Lord.
08:34Glory to Your holy name, Lord.
08:36Bless, O Lord, the great wave of this afternoon, O Lord.
08:39Our praise to You,
08:41the word, the brother who is going to give us the word, Lord.
08:45Strengthen him, Lord.
08:46Fill it, Lord, so that it may speak to us
08:48and that it may bring us knowledge of You, Lord.
08:51And I ask you, Lord, to bless every heart,
08:54every soul that is here
08:55And may that afternoon be edified in You, Lord.
08:59Blessed in Your name, Lord.
09:01I ask this in the name of Your Son.
09:03Amen.
