Many Christians use the word “gospel” but don’t know what it means. Today, it is almost a religious cliché. However, in Paul’s day, using the term made a radical statement. It was a way of referring to the grace of God, the free gift that allows us to obtain right standing with Him (Romans 1:16).

>> WELCOME TO GOSPEL TRUTH

WITH ANDREW WOMMACK,

A TEACHING MINISTRY

THAT FOCUSES ON GOD’S

>> UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE AND GRACE.

>> EVERY PERSON THAT HAS EVER

BREATHED ON THIS PLANET KNOWS

THAT THERE IS A GOD,

THAT THEY HAVE COME SHORT

OF WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO BE,

AND THAT THERE IS AN IMPENDING

JUDGMENT AGAINST THEIR SINS.

THAT’S WHAT ROMANS 1:18

>> THROUGH 20 IS SAYING.

>> AND NOW, HERE’S ANDREW.

WELCOME TO OUR TUESDAY’S

BROADCAST OF THE GOSPEL TRUTH.

TODAY I’M GOING TO CONTINUE

A SERIES THAT I STARTED

JUST YESTERDAY, AND I’M TEACHING

NEARLY VERSE BY VERSE

THROUGH THE BOOK OF ROMANS.

I TELL YOU, THIS EXCITES ME.

I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU RESPOND

TO THIS, BUT THE BOOK OF ROMANS

IS ONE OF THE GREATEST…

A MATTER OF FACT, I CALL IT,

PAUL’S MASTERPIECE ON GRACE.

HE TEACHES AND EXPLAINS GRACE

IN A WAY THAT IF A PERSON

FOLLOWS WHAT HE SAYS

THROUGH THE BOOK OF ROMANS,

IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU

TO EMBRACE WHAT HE SAYS

AND STILL STAY A LEGALIST,

STILL SAY A…STAY A PERSON WHO

IS JUST LIVING BY PERFORMANCE

AND LIVING UNDER CONDEMNATION.

I PROMISE YOU THAT THIS WILL

SET YOU FREE.

SO I JUST STARTED

THIS YESTERDAY.

I’VE GOT A LOT OF PRODUCT,

WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM,

BUT I’VE GOT A BRAND-NEW

BOOK OUT THAT IS A COMBINATION

OF MY FOOT NOTES

FROM MY LIVING COMMENTARY,

THAT’S A DIGITAL COMMENTARY

THAT I HAVE ON THE BIBLE.

I HAVE NOW WRITTEN FOOTNOTES

ON OVER 25,000 VERSES

IN THE BIBLE OVER THE LAST

30-SOMETHING-YEARS,

AND SO IT’S GOT ALL OF

THOSE FOOTNOTES THAT ARE ON

THE BOOK OF ROMANS,

PLUS IT’S GOT TEACHING

THAT I’VE DONE,

AND IT TAKES THAT

AND COMBINES IT.

SO SOME OF IT MIGHT BE

A OVERLAP AND A REPEAT,

BUT YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER

AND YOU JUST GET A COMMENTARY,

I BELIEVE, ON THE BOOK OF ROMANS

THAT WILL OPEN THIS UP TO YOU

AND MAKE THESE TRUTHS

COME ALIVE.

SO YESTERDAY, WE JUST

GOT STARTED, AND I WAS

IN ROMANS, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 16,

WHICH IS WHERE I BELIEVE

PAUL BEGINS TO START

MAKING SOME OF THE MAIN POINTS

THAT HE’S GOING TO SAY

THROUGHOUT THIS
BOOK OF ROMANS.

AND IN ROMANS 1:16, HE SAYS,

I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

OF CHRIST: FOR IT,

THE GOSPEL,

IS THE POWER OF GOD

UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE

THAT BELIEVETH;

TO THE JEW FIRST,

AND ALSO TO THE GREEK.

I SPENT QUITE A BIT

OF TIME YESTERDAY

EXPLAINING THAT WHEN HE USES

THIS TERM, GOSPEL,

IT WAS A RARE WORD.

NOBODY USED IT

BECAUSE IT MEANS, GOOD NEWS,

BUT ACTUALLY MORE THAN

JUST GOOD NEWS.

IT’S NEARLY TOO GOOD

TO BE TRUE NEWS.

AND THERE WAS NOTHING

IN THE JEWISH RELE…RELIGION

ABOUT ALL OF THE RULES

AND THE REGULATIONS

AND HOW MANY STEPS

YOU COULD TAKE ON A SABBATH DAY

AND ALL OF THESE RITUALS

THAT THEY HAD.

IT WAS OPPRESSIVE,

AND LATER PAUL TALKS ABOUT,

IT’S A BURDEN

THAT WE COULDN’T BEAR,

WHY WOULD WE TRY
AND IMPOSE THIS

ON ANYBODY ELSE?

IT WAS…IT WAS BAD NEWS.

THE GOSPEL…OR LET ME

NOT USE THAT TERM,

BUT THE RELIGION

THAT THEY HAD IN THAT DAY

WASN’T GOOD NEWS,

AND FOR HIM TO COME OUT AND SAY,

I’M NOT ASHAMED OF

THE NEARLY TOO GOOD

TO BE TRUE NEWS ABOUT CHRIST,

WHAT IS THAT TALKING ABOUT?

THAT JESUS PERFORMED

AND KEPT ALL OF THE LAW FOR US

SO THAT WE DON’T HAVE TO

KEEP IT.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS

TRUST AND BELIEVE JESUS

AND RECEIVE THE
GOODNESS OF GOD

THROUGH WHAT JESUS DID,

NOT THROUGH WHAT WE DO.

IT’S NOT WHAT WE DO

THAT PLEASES GOD,

IT’S WHAT JESUS DID

THAT PLEASES GOD

AND IT’S ALL AVAILABLE TO US

BASED ON FAITH,

NOT BASED ON PERFORMANCE.

THOSE ARE RADICAL STATEMENTS

THAT STILL ARE UNPOPULAR

WITH RELIGION TODAY,

BUT IN JE…IN PAUL’S DAY,

I GUARANTEE YOU, THIS JUST,

I’M SURE, MADE ALL OF

THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE IRATE.

IT BROUGHT UP

ALL OF THEIR WRATH,

ALL OF THEIR HATRED FOR PAUL

TO TALK ABOUT GOOD NEWS,

THAT JESUS HAS PAID FOR IT

AND WE DON’T HAVE TO EARN IT?

BUT PAUL IS SAYING,

I’M NOT ASHAMED OF THAT.

THAT IS THE POWER OF GOD,

SPECIFICALLY THIS MESSAGE,

THAT IT’S NOT YOUR GOODNESS,

BUT IT’S YOUR FAITH

IN JESUS’ GOODNESS

THAT PURCHASES EVERYTHING

FROM GOD.

TO…THAT IS THE POWER OF GOD,

AND I ALSO SPENT

QUITE A BIT OF TIME

SHOWING THAT SALVATION HERE

ISN’T LIMITED TO ONLY

THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS,

WHICH MOST CHURCHES TODAY USE

THE WORD SALVATION

AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS

INTERCHANGEABLY.

WELL, SALVATION INCLUDES

FORGIVENESS OF SINS,

BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES PROSPERITY,

IT ALSO INCLUDES HEALING,

IT ALSO INCLUDES DELIVERANCE.

EVERYTHING THAT WAS PURCHASED

FOR US BY JESUS IS A PART OF

WHAT THE GOSPEL PRODUCES,

SALVATION RIGHT HERE.

SO TODAY MOST CHURCHES SAY,

WE JUST NEED TO

PREACH THE GOSPEL

AND TELL PEOPLE ABOUT

THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS

AND LET’S LEAVE ALL OF THIS

OTHER STUFF ALONE.

NO, JESUS TOLD US

IN THE 28TH CHAPTER,

OF THE BOOK OF MATTHEW,

TO GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES.

THAT MEANS PEOPLE

WHO LEARN ABOUT HIM,

AND THEN IN VERSE 20, HE SAYS,

TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE

ALL THINGS THAT I COMMANDED.

HE COMMANDED US

TO GO HEAL THE SICK,

CLEANSE THE LEPER.

HE COMMANDED US TO PREACH

DELIVERANCE TO THOSE

THAT HAVE BEEN BOUND,

AND SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER

THE CHURCH HAS JUST

SHRUNK THE GOSPEL MESSAGE

DOWN TO, ITS JUST CONCERNING

FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

IT INCLUDES THAT,

BUT IT ALSO IS PART OF

YOUR SALVATION TO BE HEALED,

TO BE DELIVERED.

I’M GOING TO SAY

SOME THINGS HERE…

I’LL SPEND WEEKS EXPLAINING THIS

AS WE GO THROUGH

THE BOOK OF ROMANS,

BUT THERE’S SOME OF YOU

WATCHING THIS THAT THIS IS

A RADICAL THOUGHT TO YOU,

AND IT WAS A RADICAL THOUGHT

TO THE PEOPLE THAT PAUL WAS

TALKING TO, THAT HEALING

HAS BEEN PURCHASED

THROUGH JESUS FOR YOU

JUST AS MUCH AS

FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

PROSPERITY HAS BEEN

PURCHASED FOR YOU

JUST AS MUCH AS

FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

DELIVERANCE FROM OPPRESSION,

DEPRESSION, FEAR,

ANXIETY, ANGER,

HAS BEEN PURCHASED FOR YOU

THROUGH WHAT JESUS DID.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO

SOMETHING ELSE TO EARN IT.

IT ISN’T AN ADDITION

TO SALVATION,

IT’S AN INTEGRAL PART

OF SALVATION.

JESUS WANTS YOU HEALED,

DELIVERED, SET FREE, PROSPERED,

JUST AS MUCH AS HE WANTS YOU

FORGIVEN OF SINS,

AND IT’S THE GOSPEL

THAT RELEASES THAT POWER

OF SALVATION FOR HEALING,

FOR DELIVERANCE, FOR JOY,

FOR PEACE,

AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

IT’S UNDERSTANDING THE GOSPEL

THAT RELEASES THAT.

SO I COULD SAY THIS,

THAT IF YOU ARE SICK,

IF YOU ARE POOR,

IF YOU’RE AFRAID,

IF YOU ARE BOUND

BY UNFORGIVENESS,

IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED,

AND ON AND ON I COULD GO

WITH ALL OF THESE

NEGATIVE THINGS

THAT EVEN CHRISTIANS
EXPERIENCE,

IT’S BECAUSE YOU DON’T

UNDERSTAND THE GOSPEL,

BECAUSE THE GOSPEL IS

THE POWER OF GOD
UNTO SALVATION,

WHICH IS ALL INCLUSIVE OF

ALL OF THESE THINGS

THAT I’VE TALKED ABOUT.

IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING

IN ANY OF THOSE AREAS,

YOU ARE STRUGGLING
TO UNDERSTAND

HOW TRULY GOOD NEWS

THE…THE MESSAGE IS

OF WHAT JESUS DID FOR YOU,

AND SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER

YOU’VE MIXED IT WITH

YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE.

DID YOU KNOW SATAN CANNOT

CONDEMN JESUS AND SAY

THAT JESUS DIDN’T DO IT ALL,

JESUS WASN’T PERFECT.

I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF

THE PEOPLE,

THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE,

THAT ARE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM,

YOU WOULD BELIEVE

THAT JESUS WAS PERFECT

AND THAT HE DID

EVERYTHING PERFECTLY

AND THAT HE HAS POWER

TO OVERCOME ANYTHING.

SATAN ISN’T REALLY

ACCUSING JESUS.

WHAT HE’S DOING IS ACCUSING US

AND SAYING, OH, YEAH,

JESUS CAN HEAL,

JESUS CAN DELIVER,

JESUS COULD SOLVE
YOUR PROBLEM

IN A HEARTBEAT,

BUT WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

HE WOULD DO IT FOR YOU?

YOU HAVEN’T FASTED,

YOU HAVEN’T PRAYED.

YOU’VE DONE THIS WRONG,

YOU’VE DONE THAT WRONG,

AND IT’S OUR SIN CONSCIOUSNESS,

AND BECAUSE WE
DON’T UNDERSTAND

THE GOSPEL,

WE THINK THAT GOD IS GIVING US

ONLY WHAT WE DESERVE.

WE DON’T DOUBT THAT GOD HAS

THE POWER, WE JUST DOUBT

THAT HE WOULD DO IT FOR US

BECAUSE WE KNOW US,

AND WE KNOW THAT WE

DON’T DESERVE IT.

AND SO, WE…WE BEG AND PLEAD

AND HOPE THAT HE WILL

DO SOMETHING,

BUT WE DON’T HAVE FAITH,

CONFIDENCE AND ASSURANCE

BECAUSE WE DON’T UNDERSTAND

THE GOSPEL.

THE GOSPEL WILL SET YOU FREE

FROM A PERFORMANCE-BASED

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

IT WILL SET YOU FREE

FROM THE GUILT

AND THE CONDEMNATION

THAT COMES WHEN YOU KNOW

THAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE

EVERYTHING RIGHT.

IF YOU TRULY UNDERSTOOD

THE GOSPEL, THE NEARLY

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE NEWS,

THAT IT’S NOT WHAT YOU DESERVE,

IT’S WHAT JESUS DESERVED,

AND HE’S OFFERED EVERYTHING

THAT HE HAS

MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU

ON THE BASIS OF FAITH,

NOT ON THE BASIS
OF PERFORMANCE.

MAN, THAT IS NEARLY TOO GOOD

TO BE TRUE NEWS.

AND YOU KNOW, THERE’S PEOPLE

WATCHING THIS
PROGRAM RIGHT NOW

ALL AROUND THE WORLD;

WE HAVE OVER THREE BILLION

PEOPLE THAT COULD

WATCH THIS PROGRAM

AT ANY GIVEN TIME,

AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU,

THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

ALL AROUND THE WORLD

UPSET WITH WHAT I’M SAYING,

AND I’M SAYING EXACTLY

WHAT PAUL SAID,

THAT IT IS THE GOSPEL,

THE NEARLY TOO GOOD

TO BE TRUE NEWS

THAT JESUS PAID IT ALL,

YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY.

JESUS PAID IT ALL.

THAT IS THE POWER OF GOD

UNTO GETTING YOUR
SINS FORGIVEN,

UNTO GETTING YOUR BODY HEALED,

UNTO GETTING PROSPERITY,

DELIVERANCE, JOY, PEACE,

EVERYTHING ELSE.

MAN, THAT’S A RADICAL STATEMENT.

AND THEN HE SAYS,

IN THE NEXT VERSE,

HE SAYS, FOR THEREIN…

TALKING ABOUT IN THE GOSPEL,

IN THIS MESSAGE ABOUT

IT’S WHAT JESUS DID FOR YOU,

NOT WHAT YOU DO FOR JESUS.

IN THAT MESSAGE

IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD

REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH:

AS IT IS WRITTEN, THE JUST SHALL

LIVE BY FAITH.

AGAIN, I’M GOING TO HAVE TO

HURRY THROUGH HERE.

I COULD SPEND AN HOUR

ON EVERY ONE OF THESE VERSES,

BUT THIS IS TALKING ABOUT

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD

IS REVEALED.

SEE, IF YOU ARE

LIVING UNDER THE LAW

AND IF YOU THINK

YOU’VE GOT TO PERFORM,

YOU’VE GOT TO BE HOLY

BEFORE GOD WILL ANSWER

YOUR PRAYER,

YOU ARE SEEKING RIGHTEOUSNESS,

BUT IT’S SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS

THAT YOU’RE AFTER.

ROMANS, CHAPTER 10,

MAKES A VERY CLEAR CONTRAST

BETWEEN A RIGHTEOUSNESS

WHICH COMES OF THE LAW

AND A RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS

OF FAITH.

SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS IS BASED ON

YOUR PERFORMANCE,

KEEPING ALL OF THE LAW,

THE RULES AND THE REGULATIONS,

AND IT IS INFINITELY INFERIOR

TO GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS.

ROMANS 3:23, SAYS,

ALL HAVE SINNED,

AND COME SHORT OF

THE GLORY OF GOD.

YOU COULD SAY, SHORT OF

GOD’S KIND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

THAT WAS MANIFESTED

AND EXEMPLIFIED,

DEMONSTRATED THROUGH JESUS.

ALL OF US HAVE COME SHORT OF

JESUS’ RIGHTEOUSNESS,

AND YOU MAY HAVE

SOME SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS

AND THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU

IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

WITH PEOPLE,

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO GOD,

YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE

HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,

AND THIS SAYS, FOR THEREIN

IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD…

A FAITH RIGHTEOUSNESS,

A RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COMES BY

JUST HAVING IT GIVEN TO YOU

BECAUSE YOU PUT FAITH IN

WHAT JESUS DID.

THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS REVEALED

FROM FAITH TO FAITH,

NOT FROM PERFORMANCE

TO PERFORMANCE.

NOT FROM WHAT YOU DO,

YOU SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER

EARNED IT, AND THEN GOD

RESPONDS TO YOU.

THESE ARE RADICAL STATEMENTS,

AND AGAIN, I COULD AMPLIFY

ON THIS, BUT I…I WANT TO

MOVE ALONG, BUT I JUST HAVE TO

MAKE THIS POINT,

THAT THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE

OF PAUL’S DAY

NEARLY CHOKED TO DEATH

ON THESE FIRST TWO STATEMENTS

RIGHT HERE IN THE VERY BEGINNING

OF THIS BOOK,

THAT YOU’RE TELLING ME

THAT IT’S NOT BASED ON…

I DON’T HAVE TO

BECOME CIRCUMCISED,

I DON’T HAVE TO GO

TO THE SYNAGOGUE,

I DON’T HAVE TO KEEP THESE RULES

AND REGULATIONS,

I DON’T HAVE TO OBSERVE

THE SABBATH, I DON’T HAVE TO

DO THESE THINGS?

THIS IS NOT WHAT MAKES ME

RIGHT WITH GOD?

THAT WAS SO RADICAL

AND SO OFFENSIVE TO THE JEWS

THAT I KNOW PAUL WAS THINKING

THAT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE

ARE SAYING,

IF YOU DON’T SHOW PEOPLE

HOW EVIL THEY ARE

AND HOW SINFUL THEY ARE,

AND IF YOU DON’T SHOW THEM

THAT YOU’VE MISSED IT IN THIS

AND THIS AND THIS,

WELL, THEN PEOPLE WILL NEVER

TURN TO GOD,

AND SO PAUL SAYS

IN THE NEXT VERSE,

AND IT STARTS IN VERSE 18.

VERSES 18 THROUGH 20,

ARE SOME POWERFUL SCRIPTURES,

THAT AGAIN,

I COULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON,

MORE THAN ONE DAY’S

PROGRAM ON.

I’M GOING TO HAVE TO

HURRY THROUGH THIS, BUT LOOK,

IT SAYS, IN VERSE 18,

FOR THE WRATH OF GOD…

THE WORD, FOR,

IS CONNECTING THIS TO

THE PREVIOUS STATEMENTS.

HE HAD JUST BEEN TALKING ABOUT,

IT’S THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

IT’S THE NEARLY TOO GOOD

TO BE TRUE NEWS,

THAT GOD ISN’T GIVING YOU

WHAT YOU DESERVE,

BUT HE’S GIVING YOU

WHAT JESUS DESERVES,

AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IS BELIEVE AND RECEIVE,

OR DOUBT AND DO WITHOUT.

THAT’S NEARLY TOO GOOD

TO BE TRUE NEWS,

AND HERE’S THE REASON

THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO

JUST TELL PEOPLE

HOW TERRIBLE THEY ARE

AND WHAT GREAT SINNERS

THEY ARE,

BECAUSE…FOR THE WRATH OF GOD

IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN

AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS

AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN,

WHO HOLD THE TRUTH

IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;

BECAUSE THAT WHICH
MAY BE KNOWN

OF GOD IS MANIFEST IN THEM;

FOR GOD HAS SHOWN IT UNTO THEM.

FOR THE INVISIBLE THINGS OF HIM

FROM THE CREATION
OF THE WORLD.

MAN, THAT’S A RADICAL STATEMENT.

IN OTHER WORDS,

ALL OF THE THINGS

FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION

UP UNTIL THIS TIME,

THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN

SHOWN UNTO THEM,

THEY HAVE BEEN CLEARLY SEEN,

IS WHAT IT SAYS RIGHT HERE

IN THE 20TH VERSE,

BEING UNDERSTOOD

BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE,

EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER

AND GODHEAD;

SO THAT THEY ARE
WITHOUT EXCUSE.

THOSE ARE RADICAL STATEMENTS.

THIS IS BASICALLY SAYING

THAT THERE IS

AN INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE

ON THE INSIDE OF EVERY PERSON

OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD,

AND NOT ONLY THAT GOD EXISTS,

BUT HIS WRATH

AGAINST THEIR SINS.

THEY KNOW IN THEIR HEART

THAT WHEN THEY GO OUT

AND KILL A PERSON

AND TAKE AWAY LIFE THAT

THAT’S NOT RIGHT.

THEY KNOW THAT WHEN

THEY ABUSE OTHER PEOPLE

AND DO THESE THINGS WRONG

AND SLANDER PEOPLE

AND THEY HURT PEOPLE

WITH THEIR WORDS

OR WITH THEIR ACTIONS,

THEY KNOW IN THEIR HEART

THAT THESE THINGS ARE WRONG.

THERE IS AN INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE.

IN VERSE 18, IT SAYS,

THAT THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE

IS REVEALED,

AND IF YOU WERE TO LOOK THIS UP

IN THE GREEK,

THE GREEK IS

MUCH MORE DESCRIPTIVE

THAN OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

IT HAS TENSES TO WORDS,

AND IT…IT’LL SHOW YOU

WHETHER IT’S PAST TENSE,

PRESENT TENSE,

FUTURE TENSE OR WHATEVER.

AND WHEN IT SAYS HERE THAT…

FOR THE WRATH OF GOD

IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN

AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS

AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN,

IF YOU LOOK THIS UP

IN THE GREEK, IT LITERALLY

IS SAYING THAT THE WRATH

OF GOD IS ALREADY REVEALED.

IT’S ALREADY BEEN REVEALED.

IT’S ON THE INSIDE OF

EVERY PERSON,

AND IT SAYS IN THE NEXT VERSE,

BUT THAT WHICH MAY

BE KNOWN OF GOD IS MANIFEST

IN THEM; FOR GOD HATH

SHOWN IT UNTO THEM.

AND THIS IS WITH…

THIS IS PEOPLE THAT…

IF A PERSON

SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER

COULD BE BORN

AND THEN ABANDONED

AND GROW UP

AND SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER

LIVE IN TOTAL ISOLATION

WITH NOBODY AROUND THEM

TO TELL THEM ANYTHING,

THEY STILL WOULD HAVE

THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE

OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

AND HIS DISPLEASURE WITH SIN

AND THINGS THAT THEY ARE

DOING WRONG.

THAT’S WHAT THIS IS SAYING.

THIS IS INSIDE OF EVERY PERSON.

IT DOESN’T MATTER

IF THOSE PEOPLE

HAVE EVER HAD THE GOSPEL

PREACHED UNTO THEM,

WHETHER THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION

HAS EVER BEEN TOLD THEM,

WHETHER ANYBODY’S EVER

BROUGHT THE BIBLE.

INSIDE OF EVERY PERSON

THERE IS THIS INTUITIVE

KNOWLEDGE OF RIGHT AND WRONG.

YOU KNOW, I’M AMAZED AT ANIMALS.

I’VE BEEN TO, YOU KNOW,

DIFFERENT PLACES,

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO,

WHERE THE SPARROWS COME BACK

EVERY YEAR ON THE SAME DAY

TO THAT SAME MISSION.

I’VE READ THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW,

THE SALMON SPAWN

AND THEY TRAVEL

THOUSANDS OF MILES
AND COME BACK

TO THE EXACT PLACE

WHERE THEY WERE BORN,

AND JUST ON AND ON

YOU COULD GO THROUGH NATURE.

IF AN ANIMAL CAN HAVE

THAT KIND OF A GUIDANCE SYSTEM

ON THE INSIDE OF THEM AND JUST

INTUITIVELY KNOW THINGS,

WHY IN THE WORLD IS IT

A STRETCH FOR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE

THAT PEOPLE HAVE A KNOWLEDGE

OF RIGHT AND WRONG?

THE TRUTH IS MANY PEOPLE

DENY THIS AND THEY DENY IT

SO HARD THAT AFTER A WHILE

THEY CONVINCE THEMSELF

AND THEY MAY CONVINCE

OTHER PEOPLE, BUT ACCORDING TO

THE WORD OF GOD,

EVERY PERSON THAT HAS EVER

DRAWN A BREATH ON THIS PLANET

KNEW THAT THEY WEREN’T GOD,

THAT THERE WAS A GOD,

THEY WEREN’T HIM,

THEY NEEDED GOD,

AND THAT THEY HAD
DISPLEASED HIM

BY THEIR ACTIONS.

THEY HAD HAD IT REVEALED.

ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

AND ALL UNGODLINESS

HAS BEEN SHOWN TO THEM.

THEIR CONSCIENCE

CONDEMNS THEM.

OVER HERE IN ROMANS, CHAPTER 2,

IT TALKS ABOUT THIS.

THEIR CONSCIENCE EITHER

BEARS WITNESS WITH

WHAT THEY DO

OR CONDEMNS THEM.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S INSIDE

OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON,

AND IN VERSE 20, IT SAYS,

FOR THE INVISIBLE THINGS OF HIM

FROM THE CREATION OF THE WORLD

ARE CLEARLY SEEN.

THIS MEANS IT’S NOT VAGUE,

IT’S NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND,

THEY COULDN’T COMPREHEND IT.

NO, THEY CLEARLY SEE,

BEING UNDERSTOOD

BY THE THINGS

WHICH ARE MADE,

EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER

AND GODHEAD;

SO THAT THEY ARE

WITHOUT EXCUSE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS

IN VIETNAM OUTSIDE OF

MY BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS,

HAWK HILL, AND I WOULD DRIVE

SOMETIMES ON…ON HIGHWAY 1

THERE IN VIETNAM.

AND OFF TO THE WEST

OF THAT HIGHWAY,

THERE WERE THESE
THREE TEMPLES,

AND…AND YOU KNOW, IT WAS…

IT WAS HUNDREDS OF YARDS

OFF OF THE ROAD,

AND SO I NEVER GOT UP CLOSE

TO THEM, BUT IT LOOKED TO ME

LIKE THEY WERE THREE

FIVE STORY TALL BUILDINGS

AND THERE WERE THREE OF THEM

THAT WERE RIGHT THERE,

ALL TOGETHER.

THEY WERE SO CLOSE

THAT AGAIN, I WAS AT A DISTANCE,

BUT IT LOOKED LIKE

YOU COULD JUST BARELY

WALK IN BETWEEN
THESE BUILDINGS.

THEY WERE SEPARATE BUILDINGS,

BUT THEY WERE SO
CLOSE TOGETHER

THAT YOU COULD JUST

BARELY WALK BETWEEN THEM.

THEY HAD FALLEN INTO RUIN,

TREES WERE GROWING

OUT OF THE ROOF

AND OUT OF THE SIDES OF IT

AND THINGS LIKE THIS.

AND I ASKED ABOUT IT

AND I WAS TOLD

THAT THOSE THREE TEMPLES

PREDATED CHRISTIANITY

COMING TO VIETNAM BY 500 YEARS.

SO THEY WERE 500 YEARS

BEFORE ANYBODY CAME

AND TOLD THEM WHAT

THE WORD OF GOD SAID,

AND YET I WAS TOLD

THAT THESE WERE THREE TEMPLES

TO ONE GOD, WHO MANIFESTED

HIMSELF IN A TRINITY.

NOW, I’M NOT SAYING

THAT THIS WAS TRUE WORSHIP

OF GOD.

I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS

PROBABLY POLLUTED.

THEY HAD PROBABLY

PUT OTHER THINGS INTO IT

AS DESCRIBED HERE

IN ROMANS, CHAPTER 1,

BUT NONETHELESS,

IT CONFIRMS THIS VERSE,

THAT EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER

AND GODHEAD…

TALKING ABOUT THE TRINITY,

IS REVEALED TO PEOPLE

IN AN INTUITIVE WAY.

BEFORE ANYBODY

BROUGHT SCRIPTURE TO THEM

AND TOLD THEM ABOUT

THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST,

THEY HAD A CONCEPT OF A GOD

THAT WAS IN THREE PARTS.

YOU KNOW, I WENT TO

CHICHEN ITZA, MEXICO,

IN THE YUCATAN PENINSULA,

AND THEY HAD AN
ENGRAVING THERE,

AND THE GUY WHO WAS THE GUIDE

TO OUR GROUP SAID THAT THEY

BELIEVED IN A TRINITY,

THAT THE THUNDERBIRD

WAS ONE OF THE MANIFESTATIONS,

AND IT SHOWED ON

THESE ENGRAVINGS

THAT THEIR RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS,

THEY BELIEVED IN A GOD

THAT HAD A TRINITY

THAT MANIFESTED HIMSELF

IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS.

NOW I CAN GUARANTEE YOU

THAT THAT WORSHIP
WAS PERVERTED

BECAUSE IN THAT PLACE,

THEY OFFERED HUMAN SACRIFICES.

YOU KNOW, WHEN THE SPANIARDS

CAME INTO MEXICO CITY,

THEY FOUND A PYRAMID

THAT THEY ESTIMATED WAS MADE

OUT OF 350,000 SKULLS,

THAT THE MEXICANS HAD BEEN

OFFERING HUMAN SACRIFICES

AND THEY WOULD

CUT THE HEART OUT

AND THROW THE BODY

AND IT WOULD ROLL DOWN

THIS PYRAMID,

AND THE PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOM

WOULD JUST EAT…

CANNIBALIZE THESE PEOPLE

WHO HAD BEEN SACRIFICED

TO THESE DEMON GODS,

AND YET THEY BELIEVED

IN A TRINITY.

SO I’M CERTAINLY NOT

ENDORSING THAT AND SAYING

THAT THAT WAS A TRUE WORSHIP

OF GOD, BUT IT DOES REFLECT

WHAT THESE VERSES SAY,

THAT EVERYBODY

ON A HEART LEVEL

AT ONE TIME KNEW

THAT THERE WAS A GOD.

I HAD A MAN WHO WORKED FOR ME

AND HE WAS RAISED IN CALIFORNIA.

HE WAS RAISED AN ATHEIST.

HIS PARENTS DID NOT

BELIEVE IN GOD,

AND SO HE WAS TAUGHT

THAT THERE WAS NO GOD.

AND WHEN I WAS TEACHING ON

THIS VERY PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE,

HE CAME TO ME AND HE SAYS,

LOOK, I RESPECT YOU AND…

BUT I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE THIS.

I HAD…NEVER KNEW

THAT THERE WAS A GOD

UNTIL HE GOT SAVED IN HIS 20s.

AND I SAID, WELL,

I DON’T MEAN TO CRITICIZE YOU,

BUT SOMETIME GOD

REVEALED HIMSELF TO YOU.

YOU MAY HAVE DENIED IT.

HE DOESN’T FORCE IT ON YOU,

BUT IT WAS REVEALED TO YOU

AT ONE TIME.

SO HE WENT

AND HE PRAYED ABOUT IT,

AND AS HE PRAYED ABOUT IT,

THE LORD REMINDED HIM

OF A TIME WHEN HE WAS

AROUND 10 YEARS OLD

AND HE LIVED IN

THE LOS ANGELES AREA.

HE CLIMBED UP ON A HILL

AND HE WAS WATCHING THE SUNSET,

AND AS THAT SUN SET,

HE BEGAN TO SEE THESE LIGHTS

COME ON ALL OVER LOS ANGELES,

MILLIONS OF LIGHTS,

AND HE WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT

HOW MUCH EFFORT IT TOOK

TO PUT EACH ONE OF THOSE LIGHTS

IN THEIR PROPER PLACE,

AND HE WAS JUST

THINKING ABOUT THIS.

AND AS IT GOT DARK,

HE JUST LIFTED HIS GAZE

AND LOOKED UP INTO THE SKY

AND THERE WERE

MILLIONS OF LIGHTS,

AND HE SAID THAT THE THOUGHT

CAME TO HIM VERY CLEARLY

THAT JUST AS THOSE LIGHTS

IN LOS ANGELES,

EVERY ONE HAD TO BE PUT THERE,

THEY DIDN’T EVOLVE,

IT DIDN’T JUST HAPPEN.

EVERY ONE OF THOSE LIGHTS

IN THE SKY, EVERY STAR,

HAD TO BE MADE BY SOMEBODY,

AND HE SAID RIGHT THEN

HE RECOGNIZED AND SAYS,

THERE MUST BE A GOD.

BUT WHEN HE WENT BACK HOME

AND BEGAN TO

EXPRESS THESE THINGS,

HIS ATHEIST PARENTS REJECTED IT.

AND SO, HE DISMISSED IT

AND STUFF,

BUT JUST AS THIS VERSE SAYS,

EVERYONE AT ONE TIME

KNEW THAT THERE WAS A GOD.

EVERYONE AT ONE TIME KNEW

OF THEIR NEED FOR A GOD,

AND EVEN ATHEISTS.

I REMEMBER WHEN

I WAS IN VIETNAM,

THESE PEOPLE WOULD SAY,

WE DON’T BELIEVE IN A GOD.

THEY’RE…THEY’RE ATHEIST

AND THEY WOULD

SPOUT OFF THESE THINGS,

BUT WHEN THE BOMBS

GOT TO DROPPING

AND THE BULLETS GOT GOING,

I SAW SOME OF
THOSE SAME PEOPLE

WHO SAID THEY WERE ATHEIST

PRAYING AND SAYING,

OH GOD, HELP ME.

I WOULD…THERE ARE NO ATHEISTS

IN FOXHOLES.

YOU PUT A GUN UP TO

A PERSON’S HEAD AND COCK IT

AND THEY’LL GO, OH GOD!

EVEN THOUGH THE…THEY SAY

THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD.

IT’S A MIND GAME.

AT A HEART LEVEL,

EVERYBODY AT ONE TIME KNEW

THAT THERE WAS A GOD.

NOW THE REST OF ROMANS,

CHAPTER 1…

AND I’LL GET INTO THIS

ON TOMORROW’S PROGRAM,

SHOWS YOU THAT YOU CAN

HARDEN YOURSELF

TO THIS REVELATION

AND YOU CAN REACH A PLACE

TO WHERE GOD WILL JUST

LET YOU GO,

AND…AND THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,

YOU’RE TURNED OVER

TO A REPROBATE MIND,

WHERE YOU’VE LOST

ALL SENSE OF…OF GOODNESS

AND THIS CONSCIENCE AND STUFF.

YOU CAN SEAR IT WITH A HOT IRON,

AS IT SAYS,

IN 1 TIMOTHY, CHAPTER 4,

AND WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT

THAT TOMORROW.

BUT MAN, THESE ARE

POWERFUL TRUTHS.

IT’S THE GOOD NEWS

THAT’S GOING TO SET PEOPLE FREE.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO

BEAT THEM OVER THE HEAD

WITH HOW SORRY THEY ARE

BECAUSE ON A HEART LEVEL

EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS THAT.

THEY JUST NEED TO HEAR

THE GOOD NEWS,
NOT THE BAD NEWS.
