00:01 Now I've been sharing all of this through quotations
00:04 from the pen of Ellen White and that's fine. 00:08 Somebody got to say unto me, 00:09 well, is there no where in the Bible 00:11 where the same concept can be seen and can be found. 00:14 Well, we did read of course from John 3:19, 00:18 "This is the condemnation." Yeah. 00:22 But how do we deal with people, 00:24 who hurt us, how do we deal with people we want to save. 00:27 Not by condemnation, look with me at 2 Corinthians, 00:31 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 and we're looking at verse 19. 00:35 Perhaps we even should start a little before verse 19. 00:38 Maybe we'll start in verse 18, where in 2 Corinthians 5:18, 00:46 "And all things are of God, 00:48 who hath reconciled us by Himself by Jesus Christ, 00:53 to Himself by Jesus Christ and has given to us 00:55 the ministry of reconciliation." 00:57 So God has a method He knows what is doing. 01:00 He is working for our reconciliation 01:02 and He gives us the ministry of reconciliation. 01:05 Look at verse 19 it tells us how to do it, 01:08 "To wit, that God was in Christ, 01:10 reconciling the world to Himself, 01:11 now watch not imputing their trespasses unto them, 01:15 in other words not by condemning them 01:18 and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation." |
