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?
00:00:09.760 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.
00:00:19.720 Jesus said,
00:00:20.820 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.480 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:29.340 Daily Truth
00:00:30.000 It's important that when we do the work of an evangelist, when we think of our family members and friends and neighbors and co-workers who are unbelievers, who are not worshipers of God, we must recognize that there is no state of indifference.
00:00:47.740 We call this the myth of neutrality.
00:00:51.640 Neutrality is not a viable, possible option.
00:00:56.840 If they're not lovers of God, then the word teaches that they are haters of God, that they hate him.
00:01:06.280 And it is important that we love them, but at the same time, we strip them of their lies and their tactics to hide and suppress the truth.
00:01:23.200 That's one of the best ways that we can love people,
00:01:25.940 is to not let them continue and get away with lies,
00:01:32.120 but for them to see plainly the truth.
00:01:35.800 We must help them realize that they are responsible
00:01:39.860 and that right now they are actively, currently, presently
00:01:46.400 under the just wrath of God.
00:01:49.740 and that if they do not repent and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:01:56.740 they will die in their sins
00:01:58.920 and they will stand before the great judgment seat of God
00:02:03.420 and they will be without an apologia,
00:02:08.520 without an apologetic,
00:02:10.700 without an argument,
00:02:12.300 without a defense,
00:02:13.580 without an excuse.
00:02:15.380 see on the one hand we must love our neighbor and the best way to love our neighbor is to give to
00:02:24.820 them the most precious thing we possess which is the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ but in our
00:02:30.660 love for our neighbor we must also remember that as we do the work of preaching and evangelism
00:02:36.280 we must also first and foremost love our God I remember that Stacey Craft once said in a sermon
00:02:44.020 that the gospel is not only the means of salvation for the lost,
00:02:51.000 but that it is also the defense of God.
00:02:56.080 That people are constantly and continually lying about our God.
00:03:01.660 And in the gospel, what we're saying is this.
00:03:03.760 We're saying, here's the free offer of salvation.
00:03:06.880 Please receive it.
00:03:08.300 And we're saying, shut your mouth and stop lying about my God.
00:03:15.260 He's not the way you say he is.
00:03:17.760 You say he's cruel.
00:03:19.100 He sent his son to die.
00:03:21.880 You say that he has a low standard, that he's not holy and perfectly righteous,
00:03:27.000 and that he'll give you a free pass.
00:03:29.040 He is holy, holy, holy.
00:03:31.900 You're lying.
00:03:33.560 And there's a sense in which we must love the unbeliever,
00:03:36.600 And we must preach the gospel so that if God would be gracious,
00:03:39.640 they might come to saving faith in Jesus.
00:03:41.740 And there's another sense in which we must perform the ministry of David
00:03:46.340 when he stood before Goliath and he said,
00:03:48.700 how dare you, you uncircumcised Philistine.
00:03:52.600 Today I will use your own sword and cut off your head 0.87
00:03:55.800 and I will feed your carcass to the birds.
00:03:58.840 You have defied the armies of the living God.
00:04:02.320 In a few moments, your flesh will be excrement on the windshields of people driving by.
00:04:09.540 You don't get to judge God.
00:04:13.020 You don't get to defy him.
00:04:15.480 I love you, but my first allegiance is to him.
00:04:20.880 We can talk about this, and I will present for you the gospel as a means, the only means
00:04:27.620 of salvation, but I will not tolerate your lies.
00:04:32.320 And I will not allow you to use them.
00:04:34.320 And I will not pretend to come down to some neutral plane where we reason with one another.
00:04:39.920 There's no reasoning with a dead man.
00:04:43.120 He is dead in his sins.
00:04:45.920 He must be reborn.
00:04:48.180 He must be granted by grace, resurrection, life.
00:04:50.860 And the gospel, not reason, but the gospel is the only power of God for salvation.
00:05:00.380 Thanks so much for listening.
00:05:01.380 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:05:08.880 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible.
00:05:16.260 Thanks so much.
