00:00:00.000 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01.900 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.900 cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10.740 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13.860 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.380 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:19.000 And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160 that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
00:00:29.980 review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36.560 We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:42.360 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47.440 God. You're listening to Daily Truth. What the Apostle Paul understands is this.
00:00:56.120 He understands that the fuel for sanctification is an assurance of justification.
00:01:02.120 I'll say that again.
00:01:03.740 The Apostle Paul understands that the fuel for sanctification is an assurance of justification. 0.85
00:01:10.260 And so he constantly appeals back to their status as Christians.
00:01:18.340 He says, you should live honorably.
00:01:21.180 You should honor God, not just with your words, not just with your minds and your thoughts,
00:01:28.700 not just your worship one day a week, but you should honor Christ with your flesh,
00:01:35.660 your whole body, by keeping yourself sexually pure.
00:01:41.380 But what's the motive for living in this way?
00:01:44.840 Because your body was bought with a price.
00:01:48.200 so essentially he says he says that the indicative for sexual purity being sanctified in that area
00:01:57.000 he's saying that that the indicative that is the motive for obeying the imperative that is the
00:02:04.000 command of being sexually pure is that you belong to jesus that jesus died for you that you were
00:02:12.800 bought with a price, that you've received the Holy Spirit. What does Paul say elsewhere about those
00:02:18.760 who have received the Holy Spirit, who have the indwelling ministry of the Spirit? He says that
00:02:23.860 the Spirit is given as a deposit, guaranteeing the inheritance. Meaning that the Holy Spirit,
00:02:32.620 the presence of the indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit, is meant to be another source of
00:02:38.640 assurance. It's another way of knowing that we belong to Jesus, that in fact we have been born
00:02:46.300 again. And what does the Spirit do? What is one of His many ministries? Well, one thing that the
00:02:54.800 Scripture says is that the Spirit cries out within us, Abba, Father. That brings us all the way back
00:03:02.740 to our text first john chapter 2 verses 12 13 and 14 that the first category those who are
00:03:10.920 new believers new to the faith john calls them little children what are the two things the two
00:03:18.000 consolations that he offers to them number one your sins are forgiven number two you know the
00:03:25.140 father you know god as father and that's one of the ministries of the holy spirit is that the
00:03:33.900 spirit testifies within the christian the non-christian doesn't have the spirit but the
00:03:39.440 christian does and for the christian one of the things that the spirit does is he reminds us of
00:03:45.340 our adoption that god has adopted us as our father and that we are no longer children of his wrath
00:03:54.300 as Ephesians chapter 2 speaks of but rather we have been adopted beloved children children of
00:04:02.140 his mercy see what love the father has for us that we should be called the children of God
00:04:08.440 and so we are first John chapter 3 verse 1 so the apostle Paul very holy guy to the Corinthian
00:04:20.100 church not so holy church says you guys have sexual immorality among you and it's prevalent
00:04:30.100 that's a problem this is not a good sign so pastorally what should i do i should tell you
00:04:40.620 that you probably don't even belong to jesus and you need to get it together you're going to go to 0.99
00:04:46.260 hell. No. This is the Apostle Paul, not Paul Washer. Instead, what the Apostle Paul says is you do 1.00
00:04:57.840 belong to Jesus 100 percent. And that's why you need to get it together. You don't need to get
00:05:04.700 it together so that you might belong to Jesus. You need to get it together as a response of gratitude
00:05:11.620 because you do belong to Jesus.
00:05:14.500 You were bought with a price.
00:05:17.580 Not if you get rid of sexual morality,
00:05:19.960 you might be bought with a price.
00:05:22.180 You already were.
00:05:24.160 Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
00:05:26.460 You have the Holy Spirit.
00:05:28.520 It's not that if you can be sexually pure
00:05:30.860 as a reward for your obedience,
00:05:33.060 you might receive the Holy Spirit.
00:05:35.900 No, you already have the Holy Spirit
00:05:38.200 by grace alone, through faith alone,
00:05:40.140 in Christ alone.
00:05:40.920 so act like it you are members with christ you have union with him so don't have union with anyone
00:05:50.600 else don't pervert the union you have with christ don't water it down and pervert it with union with
00:05:59.380 a prostitute but rather be holy as he is holy because he died for you bought with a price
00:06:07.280 he's given you the holy spirit as a deposit guaranteeing not just indicating that you might 0.98
00:06:13.920 go to heaven but guaranteeing your spiritual eternal inheritance and you already have union
00:06:20.300 with him so for all these reasons because you objectively have union with christ through faith
00:06:26.160 because he objectively died for you you are among the elect you are his chosen one and he's paid
00:06:33.280 for your sin and because you already objectively are temples of the Holy Spirit who you have
00:06:39.020 received from God as a deposit guaranteeing eternal life to come for these reasons you
00:06:47.100 should live like him you should act like him can I be frank with you for just a second
00:06:52.400 right here at the end look some of you guys you're financially supporting this ministry
00:06:57.140 and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you,
00:07:04.180 you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest.
00:07:11.220 I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political 0.94
00:07:18.720 elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we
00:07:26.520 simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are
00:07:32.760 living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs
00:07:40.040 at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should
00:07:46.540 you, but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so,
00:07:53.520 take one minute of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform,
00:08:00.540 iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be. This is the way the system works. We want to be innocent
00:08:06.820 as doves but shrewd as vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review
00:08:13.280 and our podcast shows up for more people. And the Word of God and courageous theology
00:08:20.060 applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
00:08:25.560 Help us get it out there.
00:08:27.280 Thanks for tuning in.
