00:00:00.000 all right listen guys i get it many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition
00:00:09.880 of the lord praise god for you and that endeavor however algorithms are a thing shadow banning
00:00:16.860 sadly is a thing and one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of
00:00:23.380 this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us
00:00:28.880 a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast
00:00:35.220 with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:41.620 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:46.720 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. The easiest way to theologically deal with this,
00:00:54.540 to avoid the pitfalls of legalism
00:00:56.420 and to stay firm and stable
00:00:59.080 within the gospel of free grace
00:01:01.340 is to simply say that the holiness
00:01:03.340 in reference here is positional holiness.
00:01:08.340 Justification which comes by grace alone
00:01:10.300 through faith alone and Christ alone.
00:01:12.060 So it would read like this.
00:01:13.620 Strive for peace with everyone
00:01:15.480 and for the holiness belonging to justification
00:01:20.160 which comes fully in a moment
00:01:22.240 by grace through faith alone.
00:01:23.920 and with that therefore of course anyone who has that justification anyone in other words who is
00:01:31.040 saved will go to heaven and see the lord i don't believe that that's what the author has in view
00:01:38.100 i don't that's the easiest way theologically to deal with the text but i don't believe that the
00:01:45.080 easiest way in this particular instance is the right and accurate way to deal with the text i
00:01:51.720 I believe that what the author has in mind
00:01:53.780 is not positional righteousness
00:01:55.500 akin to justification,
00:01:57.360 but rather progressive righteousness
00:01:59.180 akin to sanctification.
00:02:02.620 So, strive for peace with everyone
00:02:05.320 and the progressive righteousness
00:02:10.000 that comes over time
00:02:12.580 belonging to sanctification
00:02:14.760 as we seek further and further
00:02:17.200 to obey the Lord through faith.
00:02:19.760 And without that,
00:02:20.860 no one will see the Lord.
00:02:23.500 And you might say,
00:02:24.680 well, wait a second.
00:02:26.100 If that's the case,
00:02:28.140 then some people who have been justified
00:02:30.780 may not see the Lord.
00:02:34.280 And that causes a whole host
00:02:36.360 of theological problems.
00:02:38.140 That causes, in a very real sense,
00:02:40.480 the entire Christian doctrine
00:02:42.480 and systematic theology,
00:02:44.620 the whole Christian faith,
00:02:46.400 to implode upon itself.
00:02:48.220 No, it doesn't.
00:02:50.860 because biblically there is not one person who has ever been justified who will not also be
00:02:55.620 sanctified to some degree in this life. I'll make an argument for from the greater to the lesser.
00:03:03.780 The thief on the cross, he didn't have much time to be sanctified. Sanctification doesn't happen
00:03:11.840 positionally in a moment, but rather progressively over time as a process. And yet what does Jesus
00:03:19.440 say to him he says truly i tell you today you will be with me in paradise and you might say well okay
00:03:28.500 that's because he was justified that's because he believed justification comes through faith and we
00:03:33.260 see this man's faith but where's the i see the justification pastor joel with the thief on the
00:03:39.360 cross but show me the sanctification i'll show you the sanctification with the little bit of
00:03:46.920 christian life that he lives from the moment of faith to the moment of his death it could have
00:03:53.640 just been a mere matter of hours perhaps even minutes and yet what does he do with that time
00:04:01.440 he silences a heretic a blasphemer an accuser of the lord and he professes
00:04:11.460 or we might say confesses his faith in the christ can i be frank with you for just a second
00:04:19.340 right here at the end look some of you guys you're financially supporting this ministry
00:04:24.100 and from the bottom of my heart i say thank you i cannot thank you enough however some of you
00:04:31.100 you just you can't afford it in fact some of you you shouldn't afford it let's be honest i mean
00:04:38.340 we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites 0.94
00:04:46.460 lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply
00:04:53.960 cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are living in
00:05:00.540 a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the
00:05:07.420 grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you,
00:05:14.100 but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so,
00:05:20.760 take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform,
00:05:27.500 iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system works. We want to be
00:05:33.280 innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review
00:05:40.240 and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God and courageous theology
00:05:47.020 applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there. Help us get it out there.
00:05:53.520 Thanks for tuning in.
