In my hand is a clean crisp. Ten pound note. It's worth 10. English Pounds. Okay, but now watch this. I've scrunched it up into a ball, but what I'm about to do next, will really gross you out. Can you see what I've done? I've made it icky. I've made it dirty. I've made it gross at the beginning when it was clean. And it was crisp, the value of this note was 10 pounds. Now, it's creased now, it's dirty. Now. It's filthy. What is the value of this nodes?
It's still 10 pounds, dear precious believer. You might think your creased, you might think you're dirty. You might think you're filthy, but you have still not lost your value in. God's eyes. Why? Because you are washed in the Precious Blood of his son. The Lord Jesus Christ, but I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, Joe. You don't realize how many times I've committed sexual sin. I really have made a mess. I've been doing this for years.
Well, to you my friend. Let me just show you something in the scriptures. Romans 8 verse 38 says this for, I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers nor things present, nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ. Jesus. Our lord. Did you catch that? It said, nor any created thing.
So in other words, you and I we've been created and we ourselves cannot separate ourselves from the love of God. He will remain faithful when we are faithless. He Loves Us deeper than we could ever imagine and you need to know this believer. This is so much deeper. Then you and I this is about God and His attributes of mercy of grace of love. Hope you're not misunderstand me in any way. We are to be ruthless with sin. Could ask you a personal question. Are you a pig? Or are you a sheep?
Well, what do you mean by that Joe? Well, let me put it another way to you. I imagine there's a big muddy puddle in front of you. You see the Sheep might get a bit curious. It might come towards the end. The Edge and then accidentally it falls down into the muddy puddle. As soon as it falls it climbs out of the mud, it runs away. It scrambles out and gets as far away as possible from that dirty. Muddy, puddle is ashamed.
It's a sheep or the pig on the other hand, when the pig sees that muddy puddle its eyes light up, it be lined, and it goes straight to that. Mud. It loves the mod. It looks to wallow in the mire. It settles itself in and in his free, will it decides to stay there? No thought of ever getting out. It's there. This is its home. Its nature is to be dirty because it's a pin. So let me ask you again. Are you a pig? Or are you a sheep? Do you feel ashamed?
When you fall into sin, do try and get as far away from sin as possible. When you do fall, you feel angry, feel frustrated, you know, this is not your home. You know, this is not right. Well, if that's you, you are a sheep and you need to keep fighting. And I think the fact that you're watching this video.
Vo. Today is very strong evidence that there is a battle going on that, you're not content in the mire and that you want to beat this sexual sin forever, but I'm guessing you're watching this now because you have actually committed sin recently and you're thinking what should I do now Joe. Well, do you remember when Jesus wanted to wash the disciples feet and he came to Peter and Peter said, you're not washing my feet. Anyone can wash my feet but not you, there's no way I'm letting
you. Oh Lord, wash my feet. What did Jesus say to him? He said, unless I wash your feet, you can have no part with me. So then Peter quite at dramatically said, well, not just my feet. My hands are my head. Also, in other words Jesus give me a full bath, but Jesus turned to him and said you don't need a bath. You don't need fully washing because you've already been washed. Once Jesus, tried to say here. Jesus was saying that you've already been born again.
You've already been converted. You've already. Been fully washed When a man or woman puts their trust in the Lord. Jesus Christ, the blood of Jesus Christ, cleanses them. It washes them. It saves them from their sins, but every now and then probably a bit more often than every now and then, as we walk through this world. We defile ourselves.
We get stains from lies, from Anger, from loss, from pride, and we need to come to the Lord Jesus Christ and say, Lord Jesus. Would you cleanse me again? Would you make me clean again? I know I'm already. Saved. But I need to be clean again. Do I have permission to give you just one last warning. King, David wants said restore to me the joy of my salvation. He just committed adultery. He just had sexual intercourse with a woman who was not his wife Bathsheba.
You see, when we commit sin. We don't lose our salvation, but we lose the joy of our Salvation. So let that be a warning to us all next time you're tempted to to, to tap on her a wrong image. Next time you're tempted to go to a sexual sin. Remember this dear friend, God, blesses obedient. And if you're going to be disobedient, sometimes the Lord will come for you. Sometimes. The Lord will chastise you. He'll cut you down and it will be severe. So I plead with you humble yourself.
So the Lord God doesn't have to Humble you. Yes, he loves us. Yes. We never lose our value. Would we hide behind the She's of the Lord Jesus Christ. But the same time, we've got to be ruthless with sin. We've got to be children of God, that are obedient and live for our Holy Father, who deserves only the best three things before you go. First thing, please do subscribe. I'd love to see you again. Second thing. I've got a playlist all on forgiveness and conquering, sin.
I think you'll find it very helpful. And the third thing is this, don't worry. No 10 pound notes were harmed in the making. Making of this video, so I'll be using that 10-pound again. Thank you for watching.
