"It is the crowning act of the work of Jesus Christ for us here on earth. Now, it's not the crowning act of all because Christ then ascended up into heaven and was crowned with power and glory, and he's seated at the right hand of the throne of God. But as concerns his work here on earth, it was the crowning act of Jesus' work." [00:48:48] (23 seconds)
"I believe that redemption is a summation of all of the work of Jesus Christ, everything that he did for us so that we could be saved. It is the work of redemption that Jesus came from heaven to earth in a woman's womb, then in a manger, lived a perfect and sinless life, died on the cross, died on the cross, but then resurrected from the grave. All of that is the work of redemption that God did for us." [00:49:15] (29 seconds)
"Faith is this idea of believing in God, not just saying, well, yeah, I guess I believe He exists, but actually believing in Him and that you say, you know what? I believe in Him and what He says and who He is and what He says about myself, about me, and I'm going to, because I believe it, live out in accordance with it. We call that obedience." [00:52:42] (22 seconds)
"Justification is in two parts. The second part is this. That we're declared to be righteous by God. It is a declaration by God. It's a legal declaration that God has made upon us. So God is the judge, has us stand before him. We're guilty. We deserve punishment. But he's made a legal declaration about us that we're no longer guilty. We're off the hook." [00:59:48] (29 seconds)
"Positionally before God, you are always righteous. But practically, the Bible tells us we do commit sin. And that's why we need this second term. Sanctification is the idea that once we're saved, we didn't get rid of every sin in our life. That was a false teaching from the 40s and 50s. That once you get saved, man, you got your hair cut, stop drinking, stop smoking. And a lot of people did that." [01:04:21] (26 seconds)
"Sanctification is a progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and more like Christ in our actual lives, and that goes on until the day we die when we are then perfect, never to struggle with sin again. No more elections, no more car payments, no more inspections, none of these things. You can tell the things I dislike. No more dental appointments, you know, no death, no dying, no sickness, no diseases. We're perfect, and we long for that day." [01:06:30] (39 seconds)
"There's a role we play in sanctification. But now, we've set aside positionally, we're righteous. Practically, we're becoming righteous until the day we die. But then thirdly, here's the third concept that's wonderful. It's glorification. And that has to do with the day when our bodies are resurrected and we're made perfect." [01:12:54] (22 seconds)
"Glorification is the final step in the application of redemption. It will happen when Christ returns and raises from the dead the bodies of all believers for all time who have died and reunites them with their souls and changes the bodies of all believers who remain alive, thereby giving all believers at the same time perfect resurrection bodies like his own." [01:14:22] (24 seconds)
"We're going to be reunited with our bodies. We're going to be made new. We're going to be together forever in a very real place, fellowship together, worship God. We might even play some games, might hang out. We're certainly going to sing and rejoice. We're going to have times of fellowship, but always a time of worshiping God in our new body forever." [01:16:49] (24 seconds)
"The Bible says, or teaches us, that anybody who would believe by faith, God has obligated himself legally to declare you to be righteous. Have you believed? You must. Have you repented of your sin? The Bible calls upon all men everywhere to repent. Have you done that? God, I'm not asking you if you're perfect. I know you're not. I know most of you. You know me. I know you're not." [01:17:27] (30 seconds)
"Be justified, to have that legal standing, to not just be called right, but to actually be right, to be righteous before God. And that's when he begins this process of sanctification. He's working on me. Could you say amen to God is still working on me? He's working on me. I know he is." [01:18:01] (23 seconds)
