here's the mark of a christian you don't keep on sinning again not sinless perfection
00:00:32.520
not in this life but it means you're warring now against sin you're not happily sinning you're not
00:00:38.860
a slave to sin you're warring against sin and yes you're still being tempted by the enemy there's
00:00:44.800
still spiritual spiritual attack but you're no longer owned by satan not a slave to satan and
00:00:50.900
you may not have perfect theology i'm not saying that i'm not saying that the christian
00:00:55.040
upon conversion has all his doctrinal I's dotted and T's crossed. But he does understand the basic
00:01:02.940
fundamental truths of the faith. He knows Jesus, the person and work of Jesus. He knows that we
00:01:10.160
are born again and saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. He is no longer
00:01:17.620
deceived. And so here's the life of a Christian. This is the point. The moment you get unplugged
00:01:25.420
from the matrix, the moment that you're no longer a slave of Satan, a slave of sin,
00:01:31.620
the moment your eyes are open, your ears are open, you've got a new heart, you're spiritually awake,
00:01:39.360
you're no longer deceived, you're no longer asleep. What essentially what that does is it
00:01:45.740
means that moment we call it conversion that moment is the day of a declaration of war
00:01:51.640
so life gets harder i don't understand i'm following jesus and things are tough
00:01:59.280
uh-huh remember the whole world lies in the arms of the enemy not frantic captives looking at you
00:02:09.240
and your freedom in christ and wishing they could have it no they're lying sucking their thumbs
00:02:13.940
in Satan's arm and looking at you doing war against their father, who they love.

So they hate you. Of course they hate you. Why would they hate me? I didn't see this coming.
00:02:33.320
Read the book. Jesus said, the student is not beyond the teacher. The slave is not greater
00:02:39.780
than the master. If they hated me, they will hate you. There's only one way to avoid hatred from the
00:02:46.740
world as a Christian. The only way to avoid hatred from the world as a Christian is to look nothing
0.98
00:02:54.040
like a Christian. To look nothing like Jesus.
