hello good morning dis is da Hebert is
0:03
calm and today we're gonna be talking
0:06
about faith again and this has been on
0:10
the topic of my study for the past a few
0:15
months and we've talked about several
0:17
passages in the scripture that refer to
0:19
faith and what he really means to the
0:23
believer so today we're gonna furthered
0:25
our study and we're gonna look at a
0:27
certain passage in John chapter 5 verse
0:31
1 to 17 so if you've missed my last on
0:35
lecture I will invite you to or check
0:38
out my website is calm and everything is
0:41
on there all the latest studies and
0:44
everything that I'll talk about you can
0:45
find on the website so without further
0:49
ado let me jump into that passage okay
0:52
I'm gonna go to my presentation so
0:54
basically we've been talking about the
0:57
subject of faith and what it means and
0:59
all this was birthed out of Hebrews 11
1:03
verse 6 he says without faith it's
1:07
impossible to please God because he who
1:10
comes to God must believe that he exists
1:13
and our God rewards those who earnestly
1:15
seek after him we've also talked about
1:18
what is faith and according to the
1:21
scripture faith is being sure of what we
1:24
hope for and certain of what we believe
1:26
and we've also talked about how does
1:29
faith come about and in Romans 10:17 it
1:32
is recorded for us and he says faith
1:35
comes by hearing and hearing by the Word
1:38
of God and what does all that mean and
1:41
to really understand the meaning of of
1:44
that we need to look at passages that
1:46
teach us what faith is all about so
1:48
that's what we've done in the past a
1:50
couple of months so today we're gonna
1:52
look at John chapter 5 1 2 17 and it's
1:56
the healing at the Pool of Bethesda and
1:58
we're gonna try to figure out the
2:00
relationship to faith so let's jump into
2:03
that now in the background Jesus are
2:06
healed a man at the Pool of Bethesda two
2:09
teachers that faith is a gift of God and
2:11
that faith comes by hearing
2:14
hearing by the Word of God so what we're
2:16
gonna do is we're gonna expand on that
2:18
as we look at the entire passage okay so
2:21
he reads like this follow on my screen
2:24
after this there was a feast of the Jews
2:27
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem and now
2:32
there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep gate
2:34
up by the Sheep gate a pool in aramaic
2:37
called Bethesda which has five roofed
2:41
colonnade in these lay a multitude of
2:44
invalids blind lame and paralyzed now
2:47
one man was there who had been an
2:50
invalid for thirty-eight years and when
2:53
Jesus saw him lying there and knew that
2:55
he had only been there a long time Jesus
2:58
Satan do you want to be healed the sick
3:02
man answered Jesus sir I have no one to
3:05
put me into the pool when the water is
3:07
stirred up and while I'm going another
3:10
steps down before me and Jesus Satan get
3:14
up
3:14
take off your bed and walk and at once
3:17
the man was healed and he took up his
3:19
bed and walked now let's go to the next
3:22
slide and the slide is entitled the
3:25
command and the response now before I
3:27
get into the explanation that fool it
3:30
was believed that an angel went and
3:33
stirred up the water and whoever got to
3:35
get into it first got healed that when
3:37
that happened when the water was
3:39
troubled soul that's what scripture said
3:41
it was believed ok people believe that
3:43
so now that man Jesus asked him do you
3:47
want to be healed and this man goes on
3:50
to a little recourse that he's talking
3:51
about how he can't get the water on time
3:53
and how as soon as he's trying to get in
3:56
there somebody else steps in before him
3:58
so basically saying I've been trying to
4:00
get here but I can't because I've tried
4:02
I'm trying in my own strength right the
4:05
question is do you want to be healed the
4:07
question was have you tried to get
4:08
healed he said do you want to be healed
4:10
so he's either a yes I want to be healed
4:12
or no I don't want to be healed so do
4:15
you want to be healed I've tried man
4:17
I've been doing this that's how the man
4:19
responds right and what does Jesus say
4:22
the command look on the screen there he
4:24
says get off take up
4:27
your bed and walk and the response is
4:29
and not once the man was healed and he
4:33
took up his bed and walked now the
4:35
question is how was this man healed and
4:38
responses by faith of course a faith
4:41
that was outside the sick man's own
4:43
ability his body and his DNA responded
4:46
to Jesus command Jesus said get up and
4:50
walk and the man responded by faith
4:51
because he heard the Word of God they
4:55
faith to get up and walk came from Jesus
4:58
command so faith comes by hearing and
5:01
hearing by the Word of God so that man
5:03
had nothing to do with his own faith he
5:06
was a faith that was given to him by
5:08
Jesus he just spoke the word and the
5:11
word became alive because the man got up
5:15
and walked so we live by his words man
5:19
doesn't live by bread alone but every
5:21
word that proceeds from the mouth of God
5:23
without faith it's impossible to please
5:26
God see this is the thing
5:28
God spoke the word Jesus spoke the word
5:31
and guess what happened something
5:34
happened the response was the man got up
5:36
and walked so faith came by hearing and
5:38
hearing by the Word of God so that man's
5:40
body heard the Word of God and responded
5:43
by faith so this is what happened in our
5:45
lives we don't save ourselves because we
5:48
can't there's none righteous we don't go
5:50
to Jesus because we decided to work God
5:53
Himself calls us out of darkness into
5:56
light God calls he says the word and he
5:59
happens okay now listen to this even
6:03
when the man was questioned by the
6:04
Pharisees the man responded with the man
6:07
will healed me basically ordered and
6:10
commanded me to pick up my bed and walk
6:12
that's what the man said the Pharisee
6:15
questioned him why are you walking so
6:17
basically he was giving glory to Jesus
6:20
he was saying I cannot not walk I was
6:23
ordered to walk so I must walk because
6:26
God's words are living and God's words
6:29
commanded me to walk so almost walk in
6:31
order to grow if I got the man was
6:33
pointing back to Jesus he says I'm
6:35
walking because he tore we'll walk he
6:38
commanded it so
6:39
I can net these I cannot disobey the
6:42
commands of God so I'm walking because
6:45
my walking is giving glory to God and I
6:48
can't start walking because Jesus
6:50
commanded me to walk so that faith was
6:52
being produced in that main to walk so
6:55
he knew look this healing and this me
6:58
walking is outside of myself I'm not
7:00
walking because I chose to I'm walking
7:02
because the LORD commanded me to walk
7:04
you understand so faith comes by hearing
7:07
and hearing by the Word of God the Word
7:09
of God produces faith in us
7:11
we believe right because we've been
7:13
given the ability to believe by the Lord
7:15
Himself let's go to the next slide more
7:19
comments Jesus finds the man and gives
7:22
him another command in verse 14 to 15 I
7:26
think afterward Jesus found him in the
7:28
temple and said to him see you are well
7:31
sin no more that nothing worse may
7:35
happen to you now think about this this
7:38
man has been crippled for 38 years
7:41
okay he's being invalid for 38 years so
7:44
what's the worst thing that can happen
7:45
to this man again like he's been
7:46
basically disabled for thirty-eight
7:48
years Oh what else could be the worst in
7:50
that carpenter home we need to
7:52
understand what Jesus is trying to say
7:53
to this man basically Jesus is saying
7:56
eternal damnation of course so Jesus
7:59
commands him to see no more right he
8:01
says sin no more that nothing worse
8:03
what's the worst thing that can happen
8:04
being totally separated from God the man
8:06
is walking now doesn't mean he saved yet
8:09
he's just walking but God is saying sin
8:11
no more
8:11
so that nothing worse may happen sin
8:13
separates us from God so the worst thing
8:15
that could happen to that man he's being
8:17
separated eternally from God so God
8:20
tells him seen no more and because Jesus
8:24
commanded it it will happen so that man
8:26
was totally saved by God's grace through
8:29
a faith that came from God so God first
8:31
told him get up and walk and then he got
8:34
up and started walking and God sees him
8:36
again and says to him sin no more so
8:40
that means as Fonzie we thank you Jesus
8:42
because you first spoke the word and I
8:44
walk now because you said I would see no
8:46
more I'm thankful that you are speaking
8:48
life into me so therefore I will see no
8:50
more you see that so that faith is being
8:52
producing
8:53
man because of Jesus's words so faith
8:55
comes by hearing and hearing by the Word
8:57
of God so Jesus is speaking life into
8:59
this man to bring him to life first he
9:03
gave him physical life by healing his
9:05
body and then he gives him eternal life
9:08
by saying sin no more
9:10
because sinlessness is what God wants
9:13
out of our life so God hasn't seen no
9:16
more of cleans you today so sin no more
9:18
so that man has been saved by grace
9:21
through faith God came found him in a
9:25
place where he was disabled God came and
9:28
rescued him physically and God came and
9:31
rescued him spiritually so two healings
9:34
in one sitting you see what I'm saying
9:36
like this is God's absolute best God
9:40
calls us out of darkness he heals all
9:42
our physical disease sometimes we may
9:44
still get sick it doesn't mean that God
9:46
has in here but he really is here to
9:48
save us from eternal damnation from his
9:51
wrath so that man was being saved not
9:54
only physically but also spiritually God
9:56
came to save him so God came and found
9:58
him so he had nothing to do with his
10:01
physical healing and yet nothing to do
10:03
with his spiritual healing so it was all
10:05
God so God God can get the glory this is
10:08
why scripture says without faith it's
10:11
impossible to please God to please God
10:13
we must be totally dependent on God that
10:16
man had nothing to do with everything
10:18
good that happened to him so he could
10:21
say I am what I am by the grace of God I
10:25
am saved from my being being crippled by
10:29
the grace of God I am safe from his rife
10:31
by His grace so everything is by God's
10:34
grace so that's why this is a tough
10:37
thing for people to understand because
10:38
we don't love Jesus because we choose to
10:40
because God puts in us the desire to do
10:43
so so we have nothing to do absolutely
10:45
nothing with our salvation you
10:48
understand it so I hope you know you
10:50
take this word and you go read the
10:51
passage yourself and my garden liking
10:53
you
10:54
I should dive into his word and ask him
10:56
to give you the desires because desires
10:57
come from me alright have a wonderful
10:59
day and I'll see you next
