We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

Matthew 23 and 12 says, and whosoever shall exalt himself shall be put down.

But he that shall humble himself shall be what?

Exalted.

So at any moment are we supposed to exalt ourselves?

Never.

The Bible just told you not to exalt yourself whosoever does that is going to be taken down did the bible just say that

but woe unto you scribes and pharisees hypocrites for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men

meaning you're closing the doors of

heaven and won't let certain colors and races get in. For you neither go in yourself. You ain't

going either. You stopping people from going and you're not going. That's what Jesus said.

Brother Ba-bye, you ain't going.

Because you're stopping people from going.

If you stop people from going, you can't go.

Jesus came to fulfill the law, meaning he paid the penalty for its requirement the penalty of

disobedience to the law was death so Jesus did what the reason we in here is

because Jesus paid it off he died and paid it because the penalty is death.

Romans 4 and 25.

Who was delivered for our offenses and was raised again for our what?

Man, if we believe on him and follow his way of self-denial and loving our neighbors as ourselves, then we can do what?

We can enter in the heaven when we die and live with him, reign with him, really, forever, right?

But in order to do that, we have to deny ourselves. That means we deny our earthly self who we are.
