If you do not have Christ as your Savior, then you DO NOT have God as your Father. God is not your hope, God is your greatest enemy. God should not bring you dread, but dread should bring you to the cross where fears are relieved.

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.340 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.440 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.700 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.880 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17.540 Thanks.
00:00:19.700 Jesus said,
00:00:20.800 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.440 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30.000 If you do not have Christ as your Savior, then you do not have God as your Father.
00:00:38.680 God is not your hope.
00:00:41.580 God is your greatest enemy.
00:00:45.340 God should bring you dread.
00:00:48.540 For those who do not have Christ as their Savior, you should have an incessant fear of the judgment of God.
00:00:57.600 I think of Amazing Grace.
00:01:00.000 the second verse it says it was grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relief
00:01:09.260 in the preaching of the gospel we often speak of that second half the gospel works itself
00:01:17.560 that the grace of god the good news of the grace of god brings sweet relief grace my fears relief
00:01:26.640 But we forget that the same grace that relieves our fears
00:01:30.720 is the same grace that instilled those fears to begin with.
00:01:35.520 It was grace that taught my heart to fear,
00:01:38.780 and grace my fears relieved.
00:01:41.520 Meaning this, that the person who is in the most fearful shape,
00:01:47.620 the person who actually has the most to fear
00:01:50.320 is the person who is not in Christ
00:01:52.480 but also not afraid of the judgment of God.
00:01:58.340 They have neither been adopted as God
00:02:00.560 by God as their father
00:02:02.420 but neither are they afraid of God as their judge.
00:02:07.100 The person who ironically has the most to fear
00:02:09.980 is the person who fears the least outside of Christ.
00:02:17.140 It is a grace of God, therefore,
00:02:20.320 that he teaches our hearts to fear.
00:02:24.180 That initial fear.
00:02:27.180 As we come to see God as judge,
00:02:29.360 as we come to see his holiness
00:02:30.900 in the goodness of his law,
00:02:33.040 and as we come to see our sinfulness
00:02:34.880 and all the ways that we've failed
00:02:36.960 and fallen short of his glorious standard.
00:02:41.780 It is a grace, the initial grace of God
00:02:45.100 that teaches our hearts to fear.
00:02:47.040 And this fear, this initial fear
00:02:49.880 is what drives us to the cross
00:02:52.460 where those fears are relieved.
00:02:56.760 If you do not have God as your Father,
00:03:00.420 it is because you do not have Christ as your Savior.
00:03:04.080 And if you do not have Christ as your Savior,
00:03:08.120 it is the most gracious and merciful thing
00:03:10.960 that the Lord can do
00:03:12.260 to teach your heart to fear.
00:03:16.020 I pray that you might fear Him today.
00:03:19.880 that you might fear His holiness,
00:03:22.840 fear His wrath,
00:03:24.820 fear His judgment,
00:03:26.140 which even now hangs over your head.
00:03:30.200 But that's not the end of the prayer.
00:03:33.960 I pray that,
00:03:35.720 that you might be driven by that fear
00:03:38.160 to the cross,
00:03:40.200 where you find the gospel,
00:03:43.060 the forgiveness of sins,
00:03:45.440 reconciliation to the triune God,
00:03:47.740 justification being declared righteous in his sight salvation from sin and death
00:03:55.780 so it's grace that taught our hearts to fear and it is the grace of the gospel that relieves those
00:04:04.620 fears i pray that you might come to christ today thanks so much for listening but real quick
00:04:11.520 before you go do us a small favor take a moment and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed
00:04:17.240 the show. This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful
00:04:22.780 content to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
