00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.660
real life presents the Jack Kibs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim

2
00:00:11.660 --> 00:00:17.400
truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. Something's going to happen when

3
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:23.520
you breed your last believer, nonbeliever, not for you, only the believers. There's

4
00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:26.680
going to be something at that last moment and there's going to be something

5
00:00:26.680 --> 00:00:30.840
communicated that is going to be saying, come on in and are the holy of

6
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:34.320
holies. Oh, not on earth, the one in heaven, the one that matters, the one

7
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.480
where you're going to be in forever and it's been provided by Jesus and it is a

8
00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:43.240
great entrance. Come on in.

10
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:55.840
Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled

11
00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:00.720
life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings. To us,

12
00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:05.840
that's like saying amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to

13
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:11.360
listen. Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you. Here is Jack

14
00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:16.880
Kibs. Listen, if you're not a Christian today, you need to know something. You're the

15
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:24.640
meter is running on your life. There's a record keeping the Bible says that your

16
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.080
name and your sins are written down must be a whopper because the Bible says in

17
00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:37.040
the day of judgment for the ungodly, it says the books were open. Not a book. See,

18
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.160
what kind of file does he have on me? It's not a five by seven card. I'll tell you that, buddy.

19
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:46.560
He's got books on you.

20
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:55.360
But for those who are believers, what Jesus Christ does is he wipes out the handwriting of

21
00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:00.880
requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he has taken it out of the way.

22
00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:09.040
How did he do that? Having nailed it to the cross. Amen. Oh my gosh. Verse 15. And this is great.

23
00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:15.040
He not only took it to the cross and died in my place that Jesus, all of the accusations

24
00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:22.880
against Jack's life, Jesus died for. That's not all. Verse 15 says, having disarmed

25
00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:33.120
principalities and powers, the demonic world, Satan and his minions. He disarmed them

26
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.440
and their powers. Not only that, he made a public hello, spectacle of them,

27
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:49.920
triumphing over them in it across the victory. The cross was a public display of the demonic

28
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:58.640
powers of darkness being beaten, being defeated. And why were they defeated? Because they sat

29
00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:03.840
there and they make this part up. I don't know if they have access to the book or books.

30
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.800
But truly this, as you came to Christ throughout all history, those who came to believe in Jesus,

31
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:17.520
your name is there and all of a sudden there's this divine hand. Rather than writing the sins

32
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:24.080
on the wall, there's a divine hand wiping away the sins from off the record. And those demonic

33
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:29.680
powers saw that and they were shaken to their demonic core and they were completely defeated.

34
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.960
Imagine the stir of hell when Jesus rose again from the dead. Amen. I hope that's something we

35
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.400
get to watch. I hope when we get to heaven, God says, now I know you guys are just driving you

36
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:50.960
guys crazy. You want to see this. So Gabriel, roll the tape. And you can see at the cross,

37
00:03:50.960 --> 00:04:00.240
you can see Satan going, we got him or die amazing. And then come Sunday morning.

38
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:11.520
There's a great explosion of truth. Christ is risen. And I love the chronology. Christ is risen.

39
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:18.640
And the Bible tells us, this is fun. Follow it. Christ is risen. He's gone.

40
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.200
But an angel came down from heaven and rolled away the stone. Are you listening carefully,

41
00:04:25.200 --> 00:04:34.560
detective? Christ is risen. But an angel had to come down and roll away the stone to let the people

42
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:44.480
in. The angel didn't roll away the stone to let Jesus out. He rose again from the dead and we learn

43
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:50.640
from John's gospel. You can be talking to him and eating fish tacos with him, right? Because he

44
00:04:50.640 --> 00:04:57.440
did after he rose. He ate fish on the beach. Remember that with the bread? Fish on the beach in bread

45
00:04:57.440 --> 00:05:06.240
is a fish taco. And he's with him. He's with him in a room. He's risen from the dead. He's with

46
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.520
him in a room. And then the Bible says that he just he vanished. He just walked. Can you make no

47
00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:19.600
door? Gone. It's like, oh my gosh, that's awesome. That's not in my notes. That was a bonus.

48
00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:28.800
I thank God for this public display. The cross today drives people all around the world.

49
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:38.000
Either up or down, up and out or down and before the throne, the cross itself. In Hebrews chapter 10,

50
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.360
verse 19, the Bible says, therefore, listen, listen, therefore brethren,

51
00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:51.440
having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus. Are you kidding me? Did you see that?

52
00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:58.080
Did you hear that? Prophecyation, mercy see, holy of holies. What is the Bible telling us?

53
00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:03.600
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus

54
00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:12.320
by a new and living way, which he consecrated for us through the veil. That is his flesh.

55
00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:20.880
And having a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart and full

56
00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:25.440
assurance of faith. My goodness church, you know what that means? That none of us need to walk

57
00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:30.640
around tiptoeing regarding this incredible thing that when you and I breathe our last in this

58
00:06:30.640 --> 00:06:37.840
world, we not only get to go to heaven by what Jesus did for us, we don't tiptoen. We at the

59
00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:44.640
moment of death, you and I are somehow going to get an infusion of confidence. From God,

60
00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:51.520
something's going to happen when you breathe your last believer, nonbeliever, not for you,

61
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.960
only the believer. There's going to be something at that last moment and there's going to be

62
00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:02.000
something communicated that is going to be saying, come on in and are the holy of holies. Oh,

63
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.040
not on earth, the one in heaven, the one that matters, the one where you're going to be in forever

64
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:14.000
and it's been provided by Jesus. And it is a great entrance. Come on in. It's none of this stuff,

65
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:23.920
like can I come in? Can I come in, God? No. There's none of that in the Bible, squeaking in.

66
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:35.680
There's no squeaking in. In fact, it's pretty amazing to realize that in 2 Peter 1 verse 10,

67
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.880
Peter says, therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your calling and your election

68
00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:50.080
sure for if you do these things, you will never stumble. Verse 11, for so an entrance will be

69
00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:58.560
supplied to you, how big? Abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

70
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.520
Wow. You guys know, please, everybody, that when the Bible says in Psalm 23, yay,

71
00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:09.440
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. You guys all,

72
00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:15.600
do you know what that means? I hope you know what that means, right? That's going through the valley

73
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:22.720
of the shadow of death happens in this life. Not after your death. You don't die and go, okay,

74
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.400
no. I hope I'm ready. I've been studying the Bible, went to Calvary. I know it pretty good.

75
00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:36.320
All right, let's walk through the valley of the shadow of death. No. No, you're suffering and you

76
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:41.600
coming to that point of death here, that's the valley of the shadow of death. The moment that the

77
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:47.520
believer dies, they're set free. You're set free. You are in the light. You are through the gate.

78
00:08:47.520 --> 00:08:55.120
You are into the abundant entrance of Christ. There's no gauntlet you run after. Oh my gosh,

79
00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.000
this is the battleground church. This is the moment of decision right here. This is the place.

80
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:08.080
The third thing and it's a final thing is in verses 25 to 26 and that is that today is your day

81
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:16.320
or could be your day based upon your decision. What you decide, we see in verse 25 and we

82
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:23.120
ask this question. Have you decided to think again about God? Think differently. Think new. Think

83
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:33.280
fresh about God. Verse 25 says because of his forbearance that is that God is amazing. God,

84
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:44.080
all those thousands of years was being patient. Think about how patiently is with you today.

85
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.920
You've not, listen, if you're not a believer today, if you're not a follower of Christ,

86
00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:53.280
you have not experienced the benefits of the cross. God is still putting up with you. He's

87
00:09:53.280 --> 00:10:02.400
still forbearing you. But he warns us, my patience will not endure forever. Time will expire.

88
00:10:04.400 --> 00:10:08.960
Because in his forbearance, God passed over the sins that were previously committed.

89
00:10:10.400 --> 00:10:17.600
His before cross, verse 26, to demonstrate at the present time that's now today, friend, in this

90
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:23.120
moment, his righteousness. 1 Corinthians, chapter 130, backs that up. 1 Corinthians, chapter

91
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:30.720
1, verse 30 says, but of him, you are in Christ who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness

92
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:38.240
and sanctification and redemption. It's all in him. It's all in him. Righteousness, he gives it,

93
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:46.160
sanctification church. He does it and redemption. He finishes it. Righteousness, he gives,

94
00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:53.120
sanctification. He does and redemption. He finishes. All of us listen. Those of us who trust Christ,

95
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:58.640
our names are written down in heaven. We're saved, but we're still going through the process of living

96
00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:06.000
in this world. We're both sanctified fully in heaven on the books, but we're being sanctified now

97
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:12.160
practically every day. And we are to walk with him. And that's a choice that you make to love him

98
00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:17.920
every day. Just like any relationship that you have. Up or down, whatever it might be, I hope

99
00:11:17.920 --> 00:11:23.360
you don't say to your husband or your wife, do you love me today? But see, what do we get this

100
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:30.960
concept from? That's a God thing. God doesn't say, I love, I love you, Ma, on Monday. You were a little

101
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:37.680
something on Tuesday. I didn't want to talk to you. I love you again now on Wednesday. No, that's not

102
00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:45.680
him. And just like us on a little tiny remedial scale between friends or a husband and a wife,

103
00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:52.640
is that we love each other no matter what the day is like. We get that whole beautiful thing from

104
00:11:52.640 --> 00:12:04.000
our Creator. Mark it down. It's precious. You all know it. It's first, not first, it's first

105
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.440
chapter. It's Philippians chapter one, verse six. There's not a first Philippians. It's Philippians

106
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:14.640
one, verse six. And again, I often kid you, but maybe not. This is a great tattoo if you're going to

107
00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:24.400
get one. Being confident, be being in the Greek. It's present. It's now be being confident

108
00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:33.360
of this very thing that he, God, who has begun a good work in you, stop and ask yourself,

109
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.840
have you ever been closer to Jesus than you are today? That means he started a good work in you in

110
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:44.800
the past. Well, I got good news for you today, friend. If he began a good work in you, will complete

111
00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:52.720
it until the day of Christ. He will work in you until the day you meet Jesus. That's why death

112
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:58.080
for the believers is an awesome thing. Do we weep? Do we cry when we say goodbye to a loved one?

113
00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:06.640
Yes, that's normal, but not without hope. It's always see you. See you later. That's what the

114
00:13:06.640 --> 00:13:10.800
believers should be saying on the death bed when the grandkids, kids gathered around friends,

115
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.320
come around. Don't say goodbye. Don't don't gather around your loved one who knows the Lord Jesus

116
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:29.040
and saying, it's great to own you, you know, bye. Farewell. Does Vidanya? Don't do that.

117
00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:36.960
The believer says to the departing believer, I'll see you. I'll see you. You remember that.

118
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:43.280
The way the world's going, we'll see him sooner than you think. Right? And so church,

119
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:50.880
it's about making a decision. We also realized this. Have you decided to make it all about Jesus in

120
00:13:50.880 --> 00:14:01.760
your life? All about Jesus. And verse 26, this is that he might be, watch this, that he might be just,

121
00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:07.920
yes, remember, he's over here and all of his holy righteousness. He's perfect. Yes, he's just

122
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:21.600
and or it could say be at the same time the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Verse 26

123
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:27.040
says, if there's someone who is trusting in what Christ has done in the cross for them,

124
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:37.120
what God does is God who is just and holy and pure based upon him providing the salvation

125
00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:46.560
the choice is yours to accept his gift of salvation. If you do that, the just one becomes the

126
00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:52.720
justifier. And that's the only way it works. That's the way it has to be.

127
00:14:55.040 --> 00:15:00.000
So when Adam and Eve, when Adam and Eve send, I'm ending this now so you can get ready to leave.

128
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:09.280
When Adam and Eve send and they realize that they were naked, you know, that's what the Bible says.

129
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.800
They send and they realize they were naked. They weren't wearing anything before they send,

130
00:15:15.520 --> 00:15:22.320
but they send and now they're now they know they're naked. The Bible tells us that God is walking in the

131
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.320
garden. You and I can't even imagine what that must have been like. Adam and Eve, the two perfect

132
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:38.800
humans. See here, some of you are thinking it's not such a good story because if they were perfect,

133
00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:45.280
why they blow it? Because God doesn't make robots, only man makes robots. We're the idiots that

134
00:15:45.280 --> 00:15:51.760
make artificial intelligence. We're the idiots now that make these new suits that you can buy

135
00:15:51.760 --> 00:15:58.320
with the computer and you can have now an absolute sexual experience with wearing an electronic suit

136
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:07.840
with no human involved. How's that? AI. Who does this stuff? Luna ticks. No, honestly,

137
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:12.640
somebody with a brain thought, you know what? You know what we're going to do? We're going to make,

138
00:16:12.640 --> 00:16:16.240
we're going to make suits you can zip on and you don't need anybody in your life.

139
00:16:16.640 --> 00:16:23.840
The artificial intelligence will be your mate and the data will mimic everything else that a human can do.

00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:30.880
What a great idea. That came from the pit of hell. Think about that. Who does this stuff? Fallen man.

141
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:38.160
So Adam and Eve are hiding. The Bible says they made fig leaves. It says fig leaves. No, I don't

142
00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:44.720
know if you've seen a fig leaf. But I have second more leaves in the back of my yard. They're big.

143
00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:50.160
I think the second biggest leaf I've ever seen is a fig leaf. I don't know what that means,

144
00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:57.440
but they did this. They sew fig leaves together. See, we think Sunday's school, Adam and Eve,

145
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:05.200
they're like this and he's got one here. She's got three, two here and one there and the rest you

146
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:14.400
can see skin. No, they're sewing. Quick, quick, quick, quick. And they probably started with their feet

147
00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:20.800
covered up every bit of flesh. Remember the Jolly Green giant on the label?

148
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:29.440
They covered their bodies, the only things like this. Can you imagine? Here he comes, here he comes.

149
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:35.920
And you know that's what happened because God says, Adam, where are you? He's God. He knew exactly

150
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:40.240
just like when you play hide and seek with your four-year-old. You know exactly where they're at. Where are you?

151
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:49.120
Got new? But they're hiding. How's the hell dumb? See, listen, when you're falling

152
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:56.960
outside of Jesus, you know, God restores our mind. Did you know that? The non-Christian doesn't know that.

153
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.400
The non-Christian thinks we're nuts. We're the only ones who really understand you

154
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.400
because we used to be nuts like you are now when you think you're not nuts. We remember that.

155
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:15.440
I remember, I remember thinking just like you, do you remember that? Now we think straight,

156
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:20.800
but they think we think nuts. But now we think right because the Bible says, God has given us the

157
00:18:20.800 --> 00:18:27.440
mind of Christ. So the thing is, when someone's guilty, they try to cover it up. Every time,

158
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:35.440
it's a cover up. It's been since the Garden of Eden. It's a human nature, apart from Christ.

159
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.800
Don't cover up anymore, friend. It doesn't work.
