What is the real truth and and what we need to know about that threat and then George Barna is with us and George has some brand-new research that will be going over here on the program so all that coming up for you tomorrow here on chosen generation, radio wherefore my brother and he also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ that you should be married to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God for when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins which were by the law did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death, but now we are delivered from the law, that being dead where in we were held, that we should serve in newness the spirit not in oldness of the letter, for we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin for that which I do I allow not for that which I would that I do not but what I hate that I do if then I do that which I would not I can send unto the law that it is good now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me, for I know that in me, that is, in my flesh dwells no good thing for to will is present with me.

But how to perform that which is good I find not for the good that I would.

I would that for the good that I would. I do not, but the evil which I would not that I do now.

If I do that which I would not. It is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

I find then a law that when I would do good, evil is present within me, for I delight in the law of God after the inward man but I see another law in my members warning against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members listen, this is the most important part of the wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death folks is so critically important that good news of the message of the gospel is actually truthfully freedom from sin and death. You may have heard that somewhere in the archives of your of your Christian experience that Jesus caught Christ and his death on the cross, conquered sin and death of your heard that before conquered sin and death. What what what what does it what is it really mean well you know that that that way you know sometime down the road when I die when life is over. Then I'm going to be in heaven and I'm not going to have the struggles and I'm not can have these battles and I'm good at somehow be able to overcome.

Then then now are there riches in glory in heaven that we are going to experience that are beyond our imagination. Let me tell you as someone who has actually touched those things.

I can tell you for a fact that they exist. I can tell you for fact that there is a place that is way beyond what we experience here, but I can also tell you from that experience that there is a power in the name of Jesus Christ and his death and his resurrection and the words that he said as he breathed his last breath on the cross. It is finished that we well folks, we we we don't we don't walk-in we don't wait we don't taste of that goodness.

So listen to this, O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death.

Paul has just described in Romans seven the terrible condition that he found himself in the struggle and the battle that we all fight, but folks, it's not the fight were in as Christians. It is the fight that we were in before we encountered Christ listen, O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death. I think God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God with with the flesh the law of sin. Now you go over to John three and you and you read about Jesus's encounter with Nicodemus. Jesus answered and said to them, verily, verily, I say under the except a man be born again he cannot be the kingdom of God and of course Nicodemus is puzzled by this that believe on him is not condemned but you believe, if not is condemned already, because he is not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God and this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that do with evil hate. If the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved but he that do with truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God that they are created, made by the hand of God. He that do with truth.

That was the end of this one verily, verily, I say under the except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the spirit is spirit folks. What happens to us at conversion at confession will we have to get a hold of is Galatians 220 I am crucified with Christ. What is crucified what is put on the cross. What died with Jesus Christ that sin nature that Paul so eloquently describes in Romans chapter 7 sin NRS working in our members that has died. It's dead. It's gone very, the analogy that God gave me one time, was that of Wendy and Peter Pan. You may remember this, maybe you don't. But maybe you do. Peter Pan flies into the room where Wendy is.

He's been watching her.

And finally, he makes his appearance and she asks him what is it that you would like me to do and he takes this this dark shadow and he says my shadow and I have become separated and he shows and there's a little caricature of that and he says what you would you so my shadow back on to your friends. Don't sell your shadow back on Jesus Christ came that shadow would be crucified with him on the cross we are set free the holy belief system in which the Savior dies and rises again in order to overcome sin and death is Christianity. He is the greatest, the son of the living God, and he has truly come with good news.

Not that you would know your sin and struggle with it, but the day when I stand before my God, I do not want him to ask me what did you do with the world that I sent my son to die for and redeem how did you fight the good fight, share the good news. Give people a check.

How did you shine your light to be a beacon of truth in the darkness did you shrink back in fear when they demand you change my message.

Did you call evil good and good evil, did you forsake my love for that of another line with the adulterer and setting up a new idol in your life have you to file your sellthrough compromise and tolerance of that which I call an abomination. Have you innocent blood on your hands for the children murdered on your watch of the young ones pervert in their way by evil men seeking their own comfort in reviling me know.

At the end of the day. I want him to simply say the evidence is in.

Well done, thou good and faithful servant. I love my God and I love his creation, and I will go to my grave telling the world that evil is evil and only God is good at.

Jesus came to save the world, that no matter the evil in the world. I will never give up.

And in spite of the hate I will love. In truth, God bless you all and may love remove the veil so you all might enter into Israel before Jesus returned to heaven he gave his disciples a plan.
