#LoveAndRighteousness
“The the part where God gave his life to us is far more than a crucifixion, far more than a death. It is the the the reality of him giving the totality of his life for us, and not just in the past, but also in the future. We have a life waiting for us where we will be the recipients of the inheritance that is ours by the spirit of God. And what did we learn in the book of Ephesians? That our inheritance is God himself. Not a place, not a thing, not something he gives us. When we have God, what do we have? Everything. God is life. God is light. God is love. God is justice. God is flourishing, God is everything. And if we inherit God, we lack nothing because there's nothing God could give us that if he gave us himself, would be more than him.”
43s
“``Got troubles? Pray Psalm 86. Tell Jesus how you feel. Ask him to help you and keep asking all day long if that's what it takes because he is listening and will answer. And as you're praying, remember what he's done in the past, in the bible, in history, and in your own life and ask him and yourself if there's anything you need to learn from this mess and then thank him. Thank him for what he's done in the past, what he's doing now, and what he's gonna do to get you out or at least through your mess because he will.”
37s
“Jesus Christ was crucified. He was sacrificed like a lamb And he replaced in that one act the entire sacrificial system. And for the Hebrew hearers to get spiritually apathetic and lazy and stop looking to Jesus and start going back into their old religious routines was heresy. It was It was it was antichrist. It was turning away from Christ. Rather, the author is is telling them to turn to Jesus. And might I say, to keep turning, keep transitioning. Your old ways die hard.”
51s
#GodIsEverything
“And what John is suggesting here, no, not suggesting. He is writing inspired by the Holy Spirit to tell us what is true. What John is telling us here, what God is telling us here is that the life of true flourishing goes like this. Recognize that the life you have, whatever it includes, is a gift from God because of his love, especially since it includes eternal life that you have everything already set and you can't lose it because it was never given to you because of anything you did. You are shackled to freedom, life, and light forever. You are a slave to righteousness. You cannot unshackle yourself from life.”
46s
#PracticeRighteousness
“and we we unpack this. The word practice there means exactly what it sounds like. Remember this? What does it mean to practice something? Do it again and again and again and again. And when you get it wrong, you do it again. And when you get it wrong again, you do it again. Every great story of excellence is a long journey of trying and failing until you get it right. And so he says, you are righteous, and therefore, you will inevitably, grow in your desire for righteousness, but you actually get to participate in that journey by doing what? Practicing righteousness.”
39s
#GiveYourselfAway
“And so now we know, wow, if we were to look at the attitude and the life of Jesus, not just his death, but the whole thing, that is what we would capture in this sentence. And so the, John is now saying, if you want to know what it is to live righteously in the full sense of the word, including rightness, but not for the sake of rightness, but for the sake of love. Here's how you know what that looks like. You take who you are, what you are, and you give yourself for others. Why? Because who did that?”
47s
#GraceOverLegalism
“And so now, look what he does with love. He takes love and he says, love which is most fully found when it is tied to rightness. Are you with me so far? When I am loving a person by choosing rightness even if that person or I think a wrongness might feel more like love. You with me so far? I choose rightness for their flourishing and the community flourishing and my flourishing. When I do that, what he's saying is this journey of righteousness back to where we were, practice righteousness, is an active reality, not a thought reality.”
44s
#IdentityInChrist
“In the righteousness of Christ with eternal life forever. I need nothing, lack nothing, want for nothing, even though I want for everything on this planet. You understand what I'm saying? I am already safe, and so my identity is secure, it's set, it's beautiful, I'm in great shape. And now because of that, I step forward, I practice righteousness, rightness for the sake of, through the filter of, wanting to bring life to others to love them well. Because the king who saved me from my unrighteousness, darkness, and death, he gave himself for me. Now I get to give myself for others.”
68s
#JesusOurExample
“And so what what is happening here in chapter three, which has been embedded in all of the New Testament, is that righteousness, even in its practice, is not a set of rules and regulations, a set of rightnesses. It is a person. It is a person. And this person embodies righteousness. He is righteousness. Everything he does is righteousness. Everything he says is righteousness. Everywhere he goes and what he does in those spaces is righteousness. So what changes from what was Old Testament reality to show us that following a set of regulations will fail at anyone anyway, is that instead of looking at the practice of righteousness by memorizing a set of rightnesses, we should watch the life and reality and person of Jesus and learn to do what he does and do how he does it.”
32s
#RighteousnessByFaith
“We cannot be anything but righteous in our standing, in our identity because it had nothing to do with us in the first place. So John establishes that, which is the essence of the whole gospel, isn't it? That your and my right standing with God and right standing righteousness is the result of the work of Jesus on our behalf, not our work toward Jesus or for Jesus.”
