00:13Well, we prayed through the Word.
00:21Praise be to your name, Lord. Glory to your name, Lord.
00:26Holy, holy, holy are you, Lord. No one is like you, Lord. You are perfect in everything, Lord.
00:35No one is as pure as you, Lord. You are light, Lord. You are infinite in power and knowledge, Lord.
00:43You are so great and so wonderful, Lord. And we are in this present moment, Lord.
00:50All here before your face, Lord. By the blood of the goalkeeper, Lord.
00:56For who can dare? He in your presence, Lord. Without having a Savior, Lord.
01:03Since we are all sinners. Glory to your holy name, Lord.
01:07Speak to us, Lord. With your truth, Lord. Your Word is truth, Lord.
01:14Glorified be your name. And shut it up, Lord. For you will take care of it, Lord.
01:18Because there are many people, Lord. Who love you, Lord. Not perfectly, but they do love you, Lord.
01:24Glory to your name, Lord. Help, Lord, to know you more, Lord.
01:29And to love you with all our mind, with all our soul, with all our heart.
01:33In the name of Jesus. Amen.
01:39Well.
01:43I opened the Bible with me, to Matthew 5.
01:49Starting from verse 13.
01:52I'm going to talk this afternoon about salt and light for the world.
01:56Salt and light for the world.
01:59God chose us for a purpose.
02:02God chose us.
02:04And we were in agreement with their purpose.
02:06And now we have to do God's purposes.
02:10And what is the purpose of our life?
02:13It is to be salt and light.
02:14Glorify God.
02:16It is to live for the glory of God.
02:20As individuals and as a church.
02:23Each one individually.
02:26We have to be salt and light.
02:28And as a church, we went out.
02:30Because we are a local church.
02:32But the worldwide church of Christ is all believers.
02:35They placed their faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
02:39And they follow him.
02:41And this is the church of Christ.
02:43Every person who is born again by the power of God.
02:46He is in communion with Jesus.
02:50Jesus is there and belongs to them.
02:52And it belongs to the kingdom of God.
02:55Because it is the church and the body of Christ.
02:57But we have a purpose in life.
03:00We have the purpose to be light and salt.
03:04Look at what he tells us here.
03:07But of course, here in that context.
03:09Christ speaks of blessedness.
03:12And here he is saying.
03:15Those are the characteristics of salt and light.
03:19That's what He's saying.
03:22It says here on 13.
03:23You are the salt of the earth.
03:26But if the salt disappears, how will I be salty again?
03:31It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and dug up by men.
03:37You are the light of the world.
03:39A city sitting on a hill.
03:42It cannot be hidden.
03:44You don't turn on a light and stand under a light.
03:48But on the lampstand and give light to everything in the house.
03:53Let your light so shine before men.
03:57So that he may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
04:04But he speaks of blessedness before.
04:07They are the characteristic of salt and being light.
04:11Blessed is he who begins, blessed is he who is poor in spirit, blessed is he who weeps.
04:16She cries about anything, doesn't she?
04:18Just for crying.
04:19Blessed are those who mourn for justice, for truth.
04:22Those who suffer for justice and truth.
04:23If someone cries, it's because of something bad, because things are going badly for them because they disobey God, and they cry and don't even...
04:30He wants to repent.
04:31It's not just about crying.
04:33If he cries in the context of God.
04:36That is required.
04:38Blessed are those who mourn according to God's will.
04:41And so he goes on talking about the Lord.
04:44And then comes the 13th and says, you are the salt of the earth.
04:48We are the salt of the earth.
04:50We often think about why salt was used for other things.
04:57Many times we think of good times.
05:00He is a father.
05:02Or we think about adding flavor to the food.
05:06But the salt had much more.
05:08It was used for many more things.
05:11Many more things.
05:12It was for the flavor.
05:14I have it written down here.
05:15It was for seasoning, preserving, sacrificing, destroying, fertilizing.
05:25That's what the salt was used for.
05:28That is, to say it, to give flavors.
05:31That's what God chose us to be, to be well defined.
05:34To go out into the world and be different from everyone else.
05:37Well defined and different from the rest.
05:40And what does society see? The goodness of God in our lives.
05:45And that we may give flavor to that world through a life devoted to God.
05:51For remember that the will of God is good, pleasing, and perfect.
05:55In other words, everything that follows God, their life is placed according to God's purposes, which are good.
06:03Then we will be a blessing to others.
06:07We would give flavor to this world if we had a life devoted to God.
06:12If we lose that purpose of being a blessing, of giving flavor to this world.
06:18So, as it says, it doesn't achieve its purpose.
06:22Salt is useless.
06:25If I have salt and I've made it and it doesn't add flavor to the food, I throw it away because I don't like it.
06:30It works.
06:31So, if we don't add flavor to this world...
06:34But according to God's purposes.
06:37Not according to what we think being good is.
06:39I've said it many times.
06:40To truly be authentic, to have flavor, we must walk in God's purposes.
06:49So the salt has to do that to give flavor.
06:53And we have to add flavor.
06:55By nature speaking, it is not to be saved.
06:59We wouldn't say it, it isn't.
07:00If I belong to the Lord, if I follow the Lord, if I learn from the Lord.
07:04That should be reflected in my life.
07:08Because I follow Him.
07:11He educates me, He teaches me, He is my Father.
07:13And the Father is a blessing.
07:16We need to add flavor to that world and be well-defined and different from the others.
07:23We have to be very, very different from the world.
07:27Because if we are the salt, we condemn that world,
07:33Then we must be different.
07:34Because that world is not according to God's purpose.
07:37And if we are not different, there is no difference.
07:40And if there is no difference, there is no exception.
07:44There is no safe haven.
07:45We cannot give flavor to the world if we are like the world.
07:48That's what I mean.
07:49To truly appreciate it, we must have a life dedicated to God.
07:55Then we have salt, which was also used for preservation.
07:59It was used to preserve meat.
08:01It was used to preserve fish.
08:04Because if I didn't keep it, it would spoil like salt.
08:07The word here says that we, God chose him,
08:10He sent him into the world to preserve this world.
08:14So that it is not destroyed, do not destroy it.
08:17Because if the salt finds out.
08:22So, that is the purpose we have as a church and as believers.
08:27Keep.
08:30To fight against the evil of the world.
08:34And fight the good fight.
08:38To be in the truth and to preserve it.
08:40Because the world is deteriorating.
08:42They also say that the world that turns away from God becomes corrupt.
08:46It becomes corrupted because it is far from the light.
08:49And what do you see in their practices?
08:52It is not in the world that God created.
08:55It is outside of desire.
08:57Outside of God's design.
08:59Because of the pleasures of the human mind separated from God.
09:04Their practices are deteriorating more and more.
09:07But we are chosen and sent into the world so that the world may be preserved through us.
09:14Because that is one of the purposes that salt also has.
09:19Even more so if we, through our practice, enter the world and practice what the world practices.
09:26And we are not conservatives.
09:28Because when he hears people use that word, he sees it as bad.
09:31No, we have to be modern.
09:33We need to be modern.
09:34And that doesn't exist in the Bible.
09:36Nor do we have to be as God commands us.
09:40To be able to preserve, to fight the good fight, we must obey God and believe in God and believe in
09:50the word of God.
09:50And let them be guided by the word of God.
09:53Because how can we preserve ourselves?
09:55If we know the truth.
09:56You will know the truth.
09:58And if they remain in the truth, the truth will be free.
10:01The world is not free.
10:02The world has turned away from God in all that it is.
10:06As the Romans say.
10:07Otherwise, that is, a believer has to establish himself clearly.
10:11The world without God is lost.
10:13Not even one will be saved.
10:15Because it is outside of God's purposes.
10:18God rejected God, he rebelled against God.
10:20And he doesn't want God, he wants his gods.
10:24As the Roman says, he wants a God in his own image and likeness.
10:28He wants a God as the flesh interprets Him.
10:31But not to the living and true God.
10:33And since they did not take account of God, then they became corrupt.
10:36And it was delivered to them by a depraved mind.
10:38Then we are chosen to make it safe, to preserve in practice our heritage to this day.
10:45So that the world does not become corrupt.
10:49That is, we speak of mercy, justice, truth, integrity, self-control, faithfulness, love, patience, self-control.
11:01And all of that must be in our lives so that those things do not exist in the world.
11:06There are some apparently, but it's not as God demands of us.
11:12Then we are chosen and sent to preserve.
11:18Then we have to sacrifice.
11:22Salt was used for sacrifices.
11:25Moses says that every grain offering must be seasoned with salt.
11:31What's that?
11:32On the altar of God.
11:33We must live a life of sacrifice on the altar of God.
11:39A life of dedication.
11:41Of sacrifice, of love.
11:43To truly follow Him.
11:45That's what salt does too.
11:47It was used in writing for sacrifices.
11:51So we have to have that life of sacrifice on the altar of God.
11:55We should obey him.
11:57To get it into our flesh.
11:58To incorporate it into our plans.
12:00To reach our plans that invalidate God's plans.
12:04It is the opposite of what God wants from us.
12:07To reach our desires, evil desires, which goes in disobedience to God.
12:15How does Romans say it?
12:16Romans 12.
12:19Therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercy of God, you present your bodies as a living sacrifice to God, which is your true and proper worship.
12:29rational.
12:30As we preach, this is your worship, a living sacrifice to God.
12:34So salt is a sacrifice to God, a surrender, a surrender to God.
12:39If we do not sacrifice our lives, we do not reach ourselves, as the Lord says, and we do not surrender
12:46Give life to God, salt is useless.
12:49Because if there is no life of sacrifice, of surrender to God, of truth, then there is no testimony.
12:56No one can be a light who does not follow God and does not sacrifice their life for God.
13:01He, because the Lord tells us, whoever wants to gain their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life will lose it.
13:07He will win it.
13:07It refers to that, to desires, to the pleasures that human beings have, which goes against the
13:15word of God and to the living principles.
13:17We need to understand something that I've said many times.
13:19The Bible says that corruption is in the world because of coexistence.
13:25Sin is always linked to pleasure.
13:29With many kinds of pleasures that go into disorder and pervert God's design for what God did not create.
13:37I believe it goes against God and that produces evil, it produces discomfort.
13:46But we as believers, if we live a life of sacrifice at the altar of God, we are salt; but if we do not,
13:53No.
13:53So salt is useless.
13:55It will be thrown away because it's salted and doesn't do what I want.
13:59The purpose of salt is useless.
14:02Then we're here to destroy.
14:06If we look at the scripture, in many verses of the Bible salt is illustrated as being for destruction.
14:15Sodom and Gomorrah, do you remember?
14:17The woman of gold turned into salt.
14:19And there are more, many more verses in the Bible, I don't remember them now, that talk about that.
14:24So we are in this world to destroy evil and establish good.
14:30But how?
14:31With the sword, right?
14:32Through the word of God.
14:35So if salt is joined with evil, it rejoices in evil.
14:44We are called by God to destroy the evil in the world.
14:51In other words, each in their own area, let's understand, evil will continue until he comes, the
14:57ages.
14:57But that's our purpose, where are we?
14:59Fighting against the fog, against the darkness, against Satan.
15:03A spiritual war, a real spiritual war, is not a lie.
15:08It is a spiritual war with Satan.
15:10And we are called as salt to destroy the work of the evil one.
15:14Furthermore, the Bible says that Christ came into our lives to destroy the work of Satan.
15:20And we, being believers, being in Christ, have the same calling to destroy the work of evil.
15:27evil.
15:27So how do we do it?
15:28Preaching the Gospel and living the Gospel.
15:32By preaching and living the Gospel, we stand against the evil of humankind and the demons of Satan.
15:40That which opposes God, says the Scripture.
15:43If salt loses that, it is linked to evil.
15:48Then it's useless, brother.
15:49So we are here to destroy evil with good.
15:53Destroy evil with good.
15:55Destroy hatred with love.
15:58Destroy injustice with justice.
16:01And so on.
16:02We're going against it.
16:03Against the current.
16:04That is why we are called like salt.
16:08That should be in our lives.
16:11But first, he tells them, comes a sacrifice.
16:15If there is no sacrifice to God, our life is not surrendered to God.
16:19Therefore, the Bible says, light cannot be in communion with darkness.
16:24Because?
16:25Because it is not possible to be in communion.
16:26Therefore, we are called to destroy evil.
16:29We are also called to fertilize.
16:32That was used.
16:33Ancient peoples used salt to fertilize the land.
16:37Because it stopped the water.
16:39It destroyed the bugs.
16:41It gave more strength to the earth.
16:44So it was used for that.
16:45We too are called to that.
16:47To fertilize the earth, as a believer.
16:51To destroy evil.
16:53To bring it to life...
16:55To kill the bad plant and give life to the good plants, so to speak.
17:01So we are called to that, to fertilize, brother.
17:04So when Christ thought about salt, he didn't just think about giving food flavor.
17:11He thought about everything that...
17:14What was salt used for?
17:17And so we conserve, fertilize, destroy, flavor food, and flavor this society.
17:26Everywhere we go, the neighbors who live with us are different.
17:31We add flavor, we are a blessing in everything we do, what we talk about, what we say, what we practice.
17:37All our attitudes show that we are different.
17:41We are defined as children of God and it is seen in Christ.
17:45Because Christ is the light of the world.
17:48Without Christ, because to be salt is to be like Jesus.
17:51Because that is why Christ came.
17:53Wine to give flavor to the world.
17:56Wine for preservation.
17:58He came to destroy evil.
18:00He sacrificed himself on the cross.
18:03And He gave us eternal life.
18:06He blessed us.
18:06It fertilized.
18:09It produces a new man in us.
18:12That the Holy Spirit who dies to us gives us another life.
18:16Different.
18:18So brother, that's the one we need to think about.
18:21We are, we conserve, we fertilize, we destroy.
18:24When we talk about destruction.
18:26Destruction.
18:27That's a word many people have to use.
18:30Destruction is not always bad.
18:33Destroying evil is a very good thing.
18:35Evil must be destroyed, and God will destroy it in His time.
18:40So it's not bad.
18:41Or when we speak, we have to be radical.
18:44Yes it's true.
18:45We must be very, very radical about sin.
18:48Very radical.
18:49Because sin always produces evil.
18:53Evil.
18:54Bad and bad.
18:55Because of Adam's fall.
18:57There are all the problems that human beings have had up to now.
19:00War.
19:01Destructions.
19:02Violations.
19:03Everything that happened in this bad world.
19:05He came because of the fall and the guilt of sin.
19:08Therefore, we can never say that sin is good.
19:11Sin is disobedience and rebellion against God.
19:14And against the truth established by God.
19:17It's about rebelling against that.
19:19That is to say.
19:20God, you created the world and everything in it.
19:22But I'm smarter, just like you.
19:24You tell me I don't do that.
19:26I'll do it later.
19:27It is rebellion against God.
19:29It is to offend an Almighty God.
19:32That is the sin.
19:33The essence of sin is an offense.
19:35That directly confronts God.
19:38Therefore, we should never say that sin is good.
19:41Although we are all sinners.
19:42In other words, sin must be aggressive.
19:45Every single sin, no matter how small, must be completely aggressive.
19:49Because sin is truly something bad.
19:52Sin is injustice.
19:53It is doing evil.
19:55It is not loving.
19:57To be unfair.
19:59But God called them to abandon that lifestyle.
20:03And to be salt.
20:04Be salt like our Lord Jesus Christ.
20:07And here it continues.
20:09You are the light of the world.
20:11We are the light of the world.
20:13Because?
20:13What light do we teach?
20:15The light of Jesus.
20:17Because we do not have light on our own.
20:21It is the light of Jesus within us.
20:23Because Christ says so.
20:24That He is the light of the world.
20:27He is.
20:27And we are in Christ Jesus.
20:29Without Christ there is nothing to be done.
20:32We personally don't have electricity.
20:34We are not gods.
20:35More than our sin and transgression were dead.
20:38The Bible tells us that we were darkness.
20:41We were dark.
20:43But now we are light in the Lord.
20:45Scripture says.
20:46Go with me in John 8.
20:49Verse 12.
20:58It says here.
20:59Again Jesus spoke to him, saying.
21:01I am the light of the world.
21:03He who follows me will not walk in darkness.
21:06But it will have the light of life.
21:11I am the light of the world.
21:16He who follows me will not walk in darkness.
21:18But it will have the light of life.
21:21Everything that is in Christ.
21:22Who follows Jesus.
21:23She has the light of Jesus in her life.
21:26And what we reflect.
21:27Our life is the light of Jesus.
21:30What does that mean in practice?
21:33We have a life of sacrifices.
21:35Of mercy.
21:36Out of compassion.
21:37Of love.
21:37It's only fair.
21:38Really.
21:39A practice.
21:41A total surrender to God.
21:42So that is the light in our lives.
21:45It is the character of Christ.
21:46That is being formed by us.
21:49That is what it means to be salt and light.
21:52Christ.
21:53He was merciful.
21:54Yeah.
21:56Christ suffered for righteousness.
21:58Yeah.
22:01Blessed is he who sees the Spirit.
22:02Being God.
22:03He allowed himself to be guided entirely by the Spirit.
22:06He lived here as a man.
22:09Everything he has done.
22:10He did it through the power of the Holy Spirit.
22:12Being God.
22:14And he suffered for justice.
22:16And he was sacrificed for justice.
22:18So we.
22:19To be light is to be like Jesus.
22:22It's about being like Jesus.
22:23Look, come with me too.
22:24In chapter 1 of John.
22:26Verse 4.
22:28He tells us.
22:28Life was in him.
22:30And life was the light of men.
22:33The light.
22:34It shines brightly in the mists.
22:36And the mists did not prevail against him.
22:39It says here.
22:40Life was in him.
22:42In life.
22:43He was the light of men.
23:10TRUE?
23:11Desire to be like Jesus.
23:12To desire to be like God.
23:14Because Christ is God.
23:16That should be our wish.
23:19That's why it isn't.
23:21To be light or to be salt.
23:23It is not an attribute.
23:25A condition for being saved.
23:28If he is saved.
23:32It must be light.
23:33And he must be saved.
23:35Because it is in Christ Jesus.
23:37Because he repented of his sin.
23:38It came out of the earth.
23:40And it's in the light.
23:41He doesn't practice.
23:42Sin.
23:43If now he is in the light of God.
23:45And follow Jesus.
23:46And every day.
23:47Daily.
23:48With the help.
23:49With the power of God.
23:50Daily.
23:51It looks more like it.
23:52Further.
23:53Further.
23:53To Jesus.
23:54The first Adam.
23:56And the second Adam.
23:57That's what it means.
23:58The first Adam.
23:59Fell.
23:59And all those who are born into this world.
24:01They are generating the nature of the first Adam.
24:05Now.
24:05Everything that follows Jesus.
24:07And there is birth and we fill his life.
24:10He has the nature of the second Adam.
24:12That which is heavenly.
24:12The nature of Jesus.
24:14Which is becoming increasingly common in our lives.
24:16And this is what it looks like.
24:18Light and salt.
24:20Within us.
24:20When we practice the truth.
24:22If we don't practice.
24:23Because we have to be consistent.
24:25With what we say.
24:27And what we practice.
24:28To be consistent.
24:29Nobody can do it perfectly.
24:31Because of sin.
24:33But be consistent.
24:34Can.
24:35There is a big difference.
24:36In.
24:38To be perfect.
24:40And to walk in holiness.
24:43The Bible says so many times.
24:45Perfect.
24:45It refers to maturing.
24:46In Christ.
24:48But there is a big difference.
24:49In a person.
24:50That she is engaged.
24:52Completely.
24:52Morally.
24:53And a person who is doing well.
24:55There is a big difference.
24:56That's why we say.
24:57We say.
24:58We are all sinners.
24:59It's true.
25:00But the Bible also sets some requirements.
25:03Some.
25:04The shepherds.
25:05To the elderly.
25:06And he sends you that one.
25:07May he have that in his life.
25:09If you don't have it.
25:10Although the sinner says.
25:11He cannot be a pastor.
25:13Not even old.
25:14Nor another.
25:14So.
25:15One hundred sinners.
25:16Despite that.
25:17Say it.
25:18I call him that.
25:19Imagine if I were a thief.
25:21A rapist.
25:23And I hit my wife.
25:24And I've come now to talk.
25:26I am corrupt.
25:27I am morally committed.
25:29You tell me.
25:30No problem.
25:31No.
25:32You know that I am a sinner.
25:33But.
25:34No.
25:34That practice.
25:35It's a lifestyle.
25:37There is a difference.
25:38From one to the other.
25:38In being.
25:40Completely corrupted.
25:42Morally.
25:42And to be a sinner.
25:44Big difference.
25:45And if you know that I am a thief.
25:48You let him take the sack.
25:49Money.
25:50Managing money.
25:51Nobody.
25:51If you know that someone is a pedophile.
25:54Devoted to their children.
25:55So that he can take care of it.
25:57Even though you know he is a sinner.
25:59Why don't you say?
25:59If he is a sinner.
26:00It doesn't matter.
26:01No.
26:01For all sinners.
26:02No?
26:02Because you know you want that person to love the children.
26:09If we are going to vote for the presidents.
26:11We also know that the president of the country.
26:13He must be an honest man.
26:15Even though he is a sinner.
26:17He must not be a thief.
26:19Liar.
26:20And so on.
26:21And so on.
26:22In this country.
26:23And there are certain requirements that we demand of a person.
26:27That's how we are.
26:29Even though we are sinners.
26:31But as believers.
26:32There needs to be a real change in our lives.
26:34It must be light.
26:35And healthy.
26:36The practice.
26:37Turning away from evil.
26:38Turning away from sin.
26:39And practice the truth.
26:40To be in Christ Jesus.
26:42That's it.
26:43So.
26:43To be able to be light.
26:45We must let God guide us.
26:48As it says in Psalm 119.
26:52Verse 105.
26:53What does it say?
26:54That the word of God.
26:56He is the man who is white.
26:59Our feet.
27:00So.
27:01How can a Christian be a light?
27:03If one allows oneself to be guided by the word of God.
27:06Because it is the tool that God uses to transform our inner being.
27:11Can a person be a light without being guided by God?
27:15No.
27:16It just can't be.
27:17He may believe that he is light.
27:19But day-to-day practice is not light.
27:23It is deceptive to the heart.
27:25And our hearts deceive us, brother.
27:27So.
27:27So that we may be light.
27:28We must let ourselves be guided by God's will.
27:31And God guides us.
27:32The Spirit that dwells within us.
27:34It leads us to the word.
27:35And it transforms us every day.
27:37It transforms our understanding.
27:39And it leads us to practice.
27:41A life.
27:42According to God's will.
27:44From a good God.
27:46And from that practice.
27:47There is well-being.
27:49There is blessing.
27:50There is love.
27:51There is justice.
27:52There is truth.
27:53But if we do not let ourselves be guided by the word of God.
27:57Then we cannot be light.
27:59We cannot be light.
28:01Never a person.
28:02If she is not guided by the word of God.
28:04It will be.
28:05He's definitely been deceived.
28:06I assure you.
28:07She is deceived.
28:08Because there are many lies in the world.
28:10The heart of man is superficial.
28:12It's instinctive.
28:14He is driven by his instincts.
28:16Because of the superficial ones.
28:17That is to say.
28:18Because of what he sees.
28:19Through the senses.
28:20Because of what she feels.
28:21For those who listen.
28:22And it's quick.
28:24Because that's what meat is.
28:25But the man of God.
28:26It's in the spirit.
28:27He is guided by the word of God.
28:29Because faith comes by hearing.
28:30To hear the word of God.
28:33Then he is guided.
28:34Not because.
28:35From what I feel.
28:36If it's because of what God says.
28:37Because at the end of the day.
28:39If my heart is deceitful.
28:41I can think.
28:42As I told you before.
28:43I'm fine.
28:45I'm doing well.
28:45And may it not be so.
28:47That's why we need it.
28:48God's guidance.
28:50The word of God.
28:50That guides us.
28:51To practice the truth.
28:53Let us be light.
28:54And blessed people.
28:56In this society.
28:57In everything we do.
28:58But if we are not consistent.
29:00Because it's one of the biggest problems.
29:02What he has now.
29:03The evangelical world.
29:05There is a very big difference.
29:07Among those who preach.
29:08And what they practice.
29:09There is no coherence.
29:12In what we say about God.
29:14We are talking about the love of Jesus.
29:16The sacrifice of Jesus.
29:17The mercy of Jesus.
29:19The compassion of Jesus.
29:20But when we try.
29:21We are not that merciful.
29:23We are not compassionate.
29:24We do not deliver justice.
29:25We did not sacrifice our lives.
29:27And they see the rest.
29:29Then the elevation drawing is useless.
29:31People trample on it.
29:33Because it says so.
29:34What does it matter?
29:34Because it speaks to me of God.
29:35God.
29:36God.
29:36And in the end, he's just like everyone else.
29:37There is no visible difference.
29:39Where is your God?
29:40He's not here.
29:40There is no God.
29:41And people will say so.
29:43We need to be consistent.
29:45No one can practice the word of God.
29:48If you don't pray.
29:49If you are not dependent on the Holy Spirit.
29:51Because we are sinners.
29:52Really.
29:54It's not a lie.
29:55That is why we must pray to the Lord.
29:57That he helps us.
29:58That empowers us.
30:00So that we may be a light in this society.
30:02Really.
30:02And blessed people.
30:05That we have flavor.
30:06Because, as the Bible also says.
30:08That the church is the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
30:12The pillar and bulwark of truth.
30:14It is what upholds the truth in society.
30:16It's the column.
30:17The bulwark.
30:18He who upholds the truth.
30:19The light.
30:20Salt.
30:21God's purposes.
30:22So that the world does not become corrupt.
30:24More and more.
30:25That is our purpose.
30:26But more.
30:27We as a church.
30:28If we lose sight of the purpose of upholding the pillar and bulwark of truth.
30:33There's no point in us being here anymore.
30:35We came here.
30:36We sing.
30:36We praise.
30:37We feel good.
30:38We took blood sausage for lunch.
30:40We went outside.
30:41And we don't practice anything.
30:43There is no basis for the truth.
30:46And what if we don't practice?
30:47We do not practice according to the word of God.
30:50For there to be a transformation.
30:51Conversion only comes through the Gospel.
30:57Because it is through faith in Jesus.
30:59Salvation lies in placing all our trust in faith in Jesus.
31:04In fact, I spoke to someone at the flea market today.
31:06He told me.
31:07Nicholas.
31:08I am very unhappy.
31:13What I do?
31:14Where do I look?
31:14Say.
31:15Don't look for happiness.
31:16Seek God.
31:19Seek God.
31:20Why so many people?
31:21He tends to seek God for his sins.
31:24Because he doesn't fully trust Jesus.
31:27He does not place all his faith in Jesus.
31:29He is afraid to approach God.
31:33Draw near to God.
31:34Scripture says.
31:36Draw near to God.
31:37Through the blood of power.
31:38We can enter into the presence of God.
31:40And there is where there is blessing and eternal life.
31:42There is transformation there.
31:43As we sing.
31:45God's love drives us.
31:47That is to say.
31:48When we see what sinners we were.
31:50And the great things God has done through his mercy.
31:53By His grace.
31:54For his love.
31:55That motivates us to live for His glory.
31:58Because that's what the Gospel is all about.
32:02It must be light.
32:03It must be salt.
32:04Okay.
32:04But if you don't love God.
32:06It cannot be light.
32:07It can't be salt.
32:09Because if you don't truly want to be like Jesus Christ.
32:12You will never be like Him.
32:14Let's see what I can say to him/her.
32:15It's not just about a moralism of being a good person.
32:18It's about wanting to be in His presence.
32:21Enjoy their presence.
32:23Wanting to be with Him.
32:25Eternally.
32:26That is in spirit and truth.
32:28In spirit and in truth.
32:29In the inner man.
32:31And according to the truth.
32:32This is how we truly worship God.
32:33Then we are light and salt to the nations.
32:37For the world.
32:38But if there is no genuine communion.
32:41Real.
32:41A desire to praise him.
32:43To glorify him.
32:44A desire to be in His presence.
32:46A desire to enjoy.
32:48And be the best meal he ate today.
32:51It is the presence of God.
32:52If that doesn't exist.
32:53There is no transformation.
32:55There are only moral duties.
32:57For sinful people.
32:59That he can never fulfill it.
33:00Because by nature they are sinners.
33:03So.
33:03That has to be done.
33:04We need to make another one.
33:05We need to make another one.
33:06Good.
33:06It's true that it has to be done.
33:08But we have to look at it practically.
33:10How the transformation is coming.
33:11The transformation of the human soul.
33:14It is because of being united with Jesus.
33:16It is because of loving and following him.
33:18That's where the transformation comes in.
33:20And the light.
33:21And the salt.
33:23To be present.
33:24In the presence of God.
33:25It is to desire their presence.
33:27It's about telling him.
33:28Mister.
33:29Kill my idols that are within me.
33:31What separates me from you, Lord?
33:33My idols.
33:34My loves.
33:34That I have inside me.
33:37Who desires you more than you, Lord.
33:39Please.
33:40Help me.
33:41Kill all that in me.
33:42I want you more.
33:44Because you are the most desirable.
33:46Which may be desirable.
33:47Desired in this world.
33:50If we're only talking about moralism.
33:52Observe how the writing is progressing.
33:54Be good.
33:55To be fair.
33:57But without loving God.
33:59It makes no sense.
34:01Our life.
34:03Our practice.
34:04Without loving Christ.
34:06Without loving God.
34:06Then brother.
34:07The life of the believer.
34:08To be in union with Jesus.
34:10To be in Christ.
34:10Without me.
34:11There's nothing you can do.
34:12That's why he says it.
34:13Without having a communion with me.
34:15Without loving me.
34:17Without wanting me.
34:18Without wanting to be like I am.
34:21There's nothing you can do.
34:23Nothing.
34:24Our Lord Jesus Christ tells us.
34:26Because that is where the life of the Christian springs from.
34:29It is about loving God.
34:31Those are the ones we lost at the beginning in Adam.
34:33What was lost in the beginning.
34:35A separation from God.
34:37Human beings.
34:38When Satan planted deception in him.
34:40The lie.
34:40He no longer sees God as desirable.
34:44He doesn't see it as the purpose of life.
34:48No.
34:48He is separated.
34:49So what the Holy Spirit does.
34:51He comes to unite him with Jesus.
34:53And to desire Him.
34:54And if we are in His presence.
34:56Every day it is something more transformed.
34:58According to.
34:59From glory to glory.
35:00From glory to glory.
35:01Through.
35:01Our Lord Jesus Christ says.
35:03The one who loves me.
35:04Keep my word.
35:05Realize.
35:05He is not talking about a superficial voice.
35:08The one who loves me.
35:09The one who knows me.
35:10The one who appreciates me.
35:10The one who esteems me.
35:12He knows what I've done for him.
35:14The one who treats me like a treasure.
35:16Like a precious stone.
35:17He keeps my word.
35:19And this will be it.
35:20Salt and light.
35:22In the world.
35:23More than what he says.
35:24I have to be salt.
35:25I have to be light.
35:26But without loving me.
35:27It just can't be.
35:28That's impossible.
35:29So.
35:30That's why I'm telling you.
35:31It is not a legalistic approach.
35:32You have to do that to be saved.
35:34If it's about.
35:35We must be light and salt.
35:37In the Lord.
35:39In the Lord.
35:40And see our goals.
35:42As believers.
35:43We have a purpose.
35:44Very well established by God.
35:46Very well established by God.
35:47We have a purpose in this world.
35:49Our purpose is to glorify God.
35:52And I'm going to finish.
35:54In 1 Peter 2:9.
36:10It says here.
36:12And it tells us what we are.
36:15That's why he tells her.
36:15You are salt.
36:17You are light.
36:17And some say more.
36:18You are.
36:20Again.
36:21Chosen lineage.
36:22Royal priesthood.
36:23Holy nation.
36:25A people acquired by God.
36:28So that you may proclaim his virtue.
36:31That called you from the mists to His wondrous light.
36:35That's who we are.
36:36So that we may proclaim the virtues of Christ.
36:38We are called.
36:40To proclaim the virtues of Jesus.
36:44Look how they tell him more.
36:46You are a chosen race.
36:48Royal priesthood.
36:49Holy nation.
36:50A people acquired by God.
36:51How did God not acquire it?
36:52Through the blood of Christ.
36:53God bought us.
36:55So that you may proclaim the virtues.
36:58So that we may proclaim through practice.
37:00Not just in words.
37:01For example, to say.
37:02Christ is love.
37:05But what are you like?
37:08You can see the love.
37:09I don't speak perfectly like Jesus.
37:11But the love is evident in your practice.
37:13Christ loved me and sacrificed himself for me.
37:16He is very merciful.
37:18Look at the people.
37:19He sees a life of sacrifice.
37:21Mercy.
37:23In truth, speaking of Christ is Jesus.
37:25And so on.
37:27Because that's what it's for.
37:27How did you choose?
37:28To proclaim the virtue of God.
37:31The nature of God.
37:32Virtue says.
37:33From the one who called us out of the mists.
37:36His light in life.
37:37He called us to his light.
37:39To make light.
37:40And practice the light.
37:41Knowing what He has done for us.
37:43How much He loved us.
37:44Believe me.
37:46A love.
37:48You'll need millions and millions of years.
37:51His presence helps us understand it.
37:52If you think.
37:54He now understands how much God loved him.
37:57Within his heart.
37:58With emotion.
37:59With all my mind.
38:00You don't understand.
38:02Neither you nor I.
38:03The more we understand.
38:04The great love he had.
38:06It is Christ for us.
38:07And God the Father.
38:09We love him even more.
38:10It is the light.
38:11Because really.
38:12God had.
38:13Much mercy.
38:15For us.
38:15Brother.
38:17Says.
38:17You.
38:18That in another time.
38:18It wasn't fire.
38:19But now you are fire from God.
38:21That in another time.
38:22You have not received mercy.
38:24But now you have received mercy.
38:26Another time.
38:27It wasn't fire.
38:28Now you are the fire of God.
38:29And if you are fire from God.
38:32Follow him.
38:32Obey him.
38:35Do as he says.
38:36And if you truly love him.
38:38If you know what he has done for you.
38:39Just as he gave his Son for you.
38:41And the son surrendered.
38:42And the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts.
38:45Delivered.
38:46And the Holy Spirit dwells in hearts.
38:48And the Holy Spirit dwells in hearts.
38:48And the Holy Spirit dwells in hearts.
38:48So that the world may see.
38:50That you truly believe in God.
38:52And that he who guides him.
38:54It is God.
38:55Really.
38:56Brother.
38:56That must be ours.
38:57A wish.
38:58In our hearts.
39:01To follow what you love.
39:02And practice the truth.
39:04When we know the truth.
39:06The truth is, you have to practice it.
39:09Do you realize?
39:10When God pulls us out of our troubles.
39:13From our mindset.
39:14And it shines a light on us.
39:16What do we want to practice?
39:17The light.
39:18The light.
39:23But why don't many people practice light?
39:27Look.
39:28He does not want communion with God.
39:29I'm sure.
39:31Now we picked up our phones.
39:32From each one of us.
39:34Because someone said so.
39:36That God allowed.
39:37TikTok and Facebook invented.
39:38So that it may be displayed.
39:40How much time do we have?
39:41Now we pick up the mobile phone.
39:43We look at what is applicable.
39:44We take.
39:44And we watched.
39:45How much time did you spend?
39:46In each application.
39:47TikTok.
39:48So much.
39:49So much.
39:49See?
39:50So much.
39:50See?
39:51So much.
39:51Have you read the Bible?
39:52I don't have time.
39:54I'm working.
39:55I'm very far away.
39:55I don't have time.
39:56Now.
39:56When I go to a space.
39:58Anywhere.
39:58TikTok.
39:59Video.
39:59This way.
40:00This way.
40:00Why people.
40:01He doesn't desire God that much.
40:03Because he doesn't know him.
40:04Why doesn't he know him?
40:05Because he doesn't see life.
40:09Because it's a medium.
40:10From where we know him.
40:11We see the character.
40:12From the beginning.
40:14Alcán.
40:14The Bible says so.
40:15That at the beginning.
40:15God created the sky.
40:16And the land.
40:17That's what I give us.
40:18He is a creator.
40:19And when we talk.
40:20As a creator.
40:21Look at all of nature.
40:22And how great is God.
40:24When nature said.
40:25But what if we don't read the Bible?
40:26Siblings.
40:27And we don't feed them.
40:29Our inner man.
40:30With the word of God.
40:31If we spend time together.
40:32In fleeting things.
40:34Things that aren't even useful to us.
40:36Just for entertainment.
40:38And it doesn't bring us any real benefit.
40:40To our life.
40:42Because it is happiness.
40:43A momentary sense of well-being.
40:44And it happens.
40:45And it happens.
40:45And it happens.
40:45And it happens.
40:46When the word of God.
40:48It leads us to know God.
40:49To love him.
40:49Appreciate it.
40:50And to want.
40:51And wish to be more like him.
40:52Well, I encourage you to do that.
40:54Make time.
40:55To read the word of God.
40:56Make time.
40:57To pray.
40:57And he will pray without ceasing.
40:59What does that mean in practice?
41:01Always.
41:03Many think that prayer.
41:05It's just getting on your knees.
41:07Looking for a corner.
41:09Prayer means communicating with God.
41:11Many times, it's not even worth talking about.
41:13Just the mind.
41:14When you say Lord.
41:15And at times.
41:18In spirit and in truth.
41:19It is signified in the inner name.
41:21Pray to God.
41:22If it is known.
41:23As the Holy Spirit impels us.
41:25Thank you.
41:26To ask.
41:27And many other things that happen inside us.
41:30Because it exists.
41:31In spirit.
41:32Within us.
41:33It's not a place.
41:34A physical place.
41:36Or with a face like this.
41:37With my back like this.
41:38No.
41:39It's in the inner name.
41:41Pray to God.
41:42In spirit.
41:43And according to the truth.
41:44So.
41:45If we want to spend time with the Lord.
41:48We're working on it.
41:49And we spoke with God.
41:50Let's get cooking.
41:51And we spoke with God.
41:52We have problems.
41:54It's not.
41:54We spoke to God.
41:56We need things.
41:57We spoke to God.
41:58We need to find a special place.
42:01Always.
42:01No.
42:01Sometimes we have to step aside.
42:03Because there is a lot of noise.
42:04We can't.
42:05No.
42:06We get distracted.
42:07That's why.
42:08There are many times.
42:08You step aside.
42:09You can take a walk along the beach.
42:11And you pray to God.
42:12Sometimes you're in your rooms.
42:14And you pray to God.
42:15Sometimes you're in the van.
42:17And you pray to God.
42:18It depends.
42:19From the circumstances.
42:20But that means praying without ceasing.
42:22You're driving.
42:24You see.
42:24Nature.
42:25Says.
42:25Thank you, Lord.
42:26You are so handsome.
42:28And you prayed, brother.
42:29And you prayed.
42:30That's the prayer.
42:32It is in the spirit.
42:33And then.
42:33If we want to be light and salt.
42:35You read the word.
42:36Desire Christ.
42:37And you pray without ceasing.
42:39In spirit.
42:40And true.
42:41Mister.

42:43Mister.
42:44Help me, Lord.
42:45Wishing you well.

42:53To seek you, Lord.
42:54When you are so wonderful.
42:56Mister.
42:57What sinners we are, Lord.
42:59That often.
43:00We are not looking for your presence.
43:02Mister.
43:03And we don't wish you well.
43:04When you're so good.
43:05So holy.
43:07So extraordinary.

43:11What's happening to us, Lord?
43:12That often.
43:13We do not want to seek you, Lord.
43:14And you have to be in charge.
43:16To find you.
43:17So big.
43:18And such a wonderful Lord.
43:19Oh forgive me, Lord.
43:21Have mercy on us, Lord.
43:24And help me, Lord.
43:25To wish you, Lord.
43:26And to love you as you deserve, Lord.
43:29And to love our brothers, Lord.
43:31Because you are love, Lord.
43:33Glory to your name, Lord.
43:34We give thanks for that word.
43:36In the name of your Son.
