Free from Judgment, Fighting Sin, Full Assurance

Speaker: John Piper
Conference: 2014 National Conference

[@kimberlymortenson9513]

I know this country is headed for the heavy hand of God’s judgment as we have never experienced before. I would encourage everyone to take the time to take copious notes on these sermons, notebook upon notebook, so that when the ease of watching these sermons online is not available, you will still be able to use your notes to guide you through the Truth of God’s precious Word. Churches are crumbling, objective Truth is being denied, people are falling away. Hold fast to God’s word and be confident in the promises of God. He will not fail us.

Great teacher one of the good men of GOD for teaching keeping to the word of truth

[@emaneliopoulos8971]

I am full of flesh at the moment from before when Holy Spirit was leading me. God help me as i am full of fear

[@greganderson2239]

I love John, he’s a real and spirit filled pastor who teaches the word of God with perfect accuracy.

2Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise...not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." Most don't; God's will is NOT being done. John 7:17 says, "Anyone who CHOOSES to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God..." Joshua 24:15 says, "...CHOOSE for yourselves this day whom you will serve..." Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free (you can CHOOSE) to eat from any tree in the garden..." Deuteronomy 30:19-20 says, "...I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now CHOOSE life..." There are MANY more verses where we are offered a choice. God says I have put before you life and death, CHOOSE life. So while God does predestine some things, in other things we are given a choice. It's like a University predestines they are going to have a football team next season, but it is up to the free will who will decide to try out for the team.

Hello Greg, It is a little risky to say "perfect", but I think I know just what you mean. I would suppose that some little thing somewhere must somehow be somewhat imperfect because he's not God, but I tell ya, he is so Spirit led and so careful that as far as I have ever seen in many years this preacher/teacher is in sync with God's word and I have yet to see the littlest problem, I am always learning important things through him and he carefully shows the proper supports from the scripture. May the Lord Jesus bless you friend, the Lord is good!

I'm wondering what device(s) and Apps, Samsung?, Apple? are you using to project to the audience? I'd like to recommend to our church.

[@jeremyfrancispiano2]

The point he makes at 44:00.... He tries to interpolate two ways to interpret that text, but changes the text, not just the use of the word "for." He tries to contrast two supposedly different theologies, saying their differences are drastically and vitally different. What my own experience with faith has shown is that if you are in Christ Jesus, you ARE holy because those who abide in Him obey him, and those who obey him are made whole in Him. Therefore, both "drastically different" theologies are actually the same thing, but we try to cut it up with our cunning. If we are in Christ, we are holy. If we are holy, we are in Christ. Either you see how Christ holds everything together or you are deceived.

[@robynahgreen1283]

🔊"What's wrong with these people!?" 24:13 Set free from the law of sin and death means that it no longer has the rule/dominion over us in Christ to kill us if, and when we sin. Yes we may fall into sin, but we're now overcomers in Christ, who now rules in us by His Spirit, which is eternal life! We overcome every time, we dont live there!

[@robynahgreen1283]

I see there's a problem where you are looking at the law of sin as the sin itself at work in man. It is rather the law that *regulates* the sin in man; an outward regulation which *cannot* and will not regulate sin within, but can only condemn the flesh itself. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ regulates from within, condemning sin from within and thus bringing life.

Revelation 16:1-21(The seven bowls of God's wrath) Revelation 16:1-7 "16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, " Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth." 2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. 3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died. 4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: " You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged; 6 for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve." 7 And I heard the altar respond: " Yes, Lord God Almighty(😊❤) true(😊❤) and just(😊❤) are your judgments❤."( Revelation 16:1-7 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) James 2:13; James 2:12-13 "12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that give freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who was not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! "( James 2:12-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) Let's say you know someone never like me in the first day, how do you or what do you think Jesus will do in response at His time? I meant to say if someone( not in anyone here in Christ and not in Christ too) never like me in day 1, then how do you think i should respond? beside praying to God for that person with hope and faith in Christ Jesus( 😊1st❤) hoping that God will change that person Himself.

[@daleenduplessis6794]

1 Jhn 4:15 yes- whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.... how did He get in...... 1 Jhn 5:1 whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God - ie the ROCK on which Christ builds His Church Mat16:15-18. Baptism? 1Cor12:13...... a work NOT with human hands because of Mat3:11 etc = circumcision of Christ Col 2:11 also without hands

[@Mike-qt7jp]

In Jeremiah 19:5 God says, "they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did NOT COMMAND or speak, nor did it come into My mind)" So, who do we believe, Jeff Durbin, RC Sproul, James White, John Piper or God Almighty and His Holy Word, the Bible? So, while God does predestine some things, this verse says clearly NOT everything. It's like a university predestining a football team but giving free will to players themselves to decide whether or not to come out for that team.

[@user-xq2bm3nq8y]

Piper? Who in life is most precious to you? Your grandchildren? Let’s say someone was holding them hostage and was preparing to kill them. A police officer is going in to free them, but, alas, the cop had a checkered history of philandering. What would you do? Would you say that because laws regarding life are not as “precious” as being a “certain kind of person” you’d drive the cop away? Of course not. It is for this reason that prolifer’s hold you in such low regard. Your galling hypocrisy. “Christians communicate a falsehood to unbelievers when we act as if policies and laws that protect life and freedom are more precious than being a certain kind of person.” --John Piper, 10-22-2020

[@stumpbumpers]

I hope this is a case of simple miss understanding because you took that quote way out of context with your implied example. Otherwise, the comment is purely satanic and the work of evil. I’ll try to help clear up any confusion. Piper was correct, ‘being spiritually righteous is more important than worldly policy and rights/freedoms’. Mark 8:36 “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Piper is pointing out how much emphasis and effort “Christian’s” put into fighting worldly battles, when the battle is more effective and more important on the spiritual level.

[@user-xq2bm3nq8y]

@@stumpbumpers You are delusional. This article was written about Donald Trump and how he could never be prolife. This was AFTER Trump defunded Obama’s payments for world abortions. This was AFTER Trump went through hell to get prolife justices on the bench. Don’t try to spiritualize what Piper’s aim was. It is no coincidence he released his “analysis” two weeks before the election. There is only one person in this who has done the bidding of Satan: John Piper.

[@plasticmoon222]

All people are in the flesh,,As Christians it is very wonderful to try to live without sin,,but it has nothing to do with your salvation as this false teacher is preaching,,,As humans we are already condemned for sin,,,The way of salvation is Faith in Jesus ,,,Faith the Savior ,,Not our behavior for a Savior,,This would be trusting in ourselves for salvation,,trusting in a sinner rather than the Savior This man is preaching a works based salvation ,,and twisted scripture,,,Salvation is though Faith alone,,Doing the will of the father,,and that is to believe in the Son,,Not sure of the denomination of this preacher,,probably Calvinist,,,he is preaching what is called a lordship salvation,,,The concept is earning your salvation though works of self righteousness ,,Totally not Biblical,,the only thing that makes us righteous is Jesus on the cross,,As soon as a person has faith they are saved ,,then the our good behavior is our appreciation for being saved and the Holy Spirit doing the work within us NOT prove your faith though good works ,,Salvation is not earned ,,it is a free gift because we have faith,, , ,,but anybody that is Biblically educated can easily see he is a false teacher..

[@theworthyproject]

That’s not even what He said. What are you talking about? Piper does not teach a works based salvation. He literally says God put you in Christ.

[@plasticmoon222]

@@theworthyprojectI have 50 years of intense Bible study that's why I can easily see by the words he says that he is a false teacher

[@theworthyproject]

@@plasticmoon222 I know many people with more years who still don’t rightly divide the Word.

[@plasticmoon222]

@@theworthyproject Its not difficult to see that he is a false teacher.He doesn't understand the whole basis of Christianity.We are saved by faith alone and of no acts or works of our own to be saved,,,Salvation not earned by good behavior,,,,,This would be trusting in ourselves for Salvation,,Trusting in a sinner rather than the Savior The good news is once a person has faith they are fully saved at that point ,Then the Holy Spirit does the work though us to make us a better person,,so the order is FAITH -SAVED - GOOD WORKS,,,,NOT FAITH -GOOD WORKS SAVED,,,what he is preaching is a distorted version of the false doctrine of lordship salvation

[@theworthyproject]

What I mean is that I unfortunately know a lot of people who have been in the faith as long as you, but they do not rightly divide the Word. That being said, as I thought more about what you wrote, I knew there was something that wasn't quite sitting right with me on how some of the teachers like Piper were describing sanctification. It kept nagging at me until it came to me to look up synergistic versus monergistic SANCTIFICATION not SALVATION. I figured out why I was having trouble with what Piper and those like him are saying. I don't know if I would call him a false teacher. I'm mulling on that, but I get your point, and thank you for the dialogue. It's been extremely helpful as I have used the past 6 weeks to detox from toxic teachings. Blessings to you.
