great singing everybody now as the alpha plates are being passed around go ahead and turn in your bibles to matthew chapter 25 that's the book of matthew chapter number 25
so
matthew chapter 25 the bible reads
then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps and the foolish said unto the wise give us of your oil for our lamps are gone out
but the wise answered saying not so lest there be not enough for us and you but go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves
and while they went to buy the bridegroom came and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut
afterward came also the other virgins saying lord lord open to us but he answered and said verily I say unto you I know you not watch therefore for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the son of man cometh
for the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country who called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods and unto one he gave five talents to another two and to another one
to every man according to his several ability and straightway took his journey then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same and made them other five talents
and likewise he that had received two he also gained other two but he that had received one went and digged in the earth and hid his lord's money
after a long time the lord of those servants cometh and reckoneth with them and so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents saying lord thou deliver it's done to me five talents behold I have gained beside them five talents more
his lord said unto him well done thou good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many things enter thou into the joy of thy lord
he also that had received two talents came and said lord thou deliver it's done to me two talents behold I have gained two other talents beside them his lord said unto him well done good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many things enter thou into the joy of thy lord
then he which had received the one talent came and said lord I knew thee that thou art an hard man reaping where thou hast not sown and gathering where thou hast not strawed and I was afraid and went and hid thy talent in the earth lo there thou hast that is thine
his lord answered and said unto him thou wicked and slothful servant thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not and gather where I have not strawed thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury
take therefore the talent from him and give it unto him that which hath ten talents for unto everyone that hath shall be given and he shall have abundance but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath
and cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when the son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory
and before him shall be gathered all nations and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divided his sheep from the goats and he shall set the sheep on his right hand but the goats on his left
then shall the king say unto them on his right hand come ye blessed of my father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world for I was unhungred and ye gave me meat I was thirsty and ye gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in
naked and ye clothed me I was sick and ye visited me I was in prison and ye came unto me then shall the righteous answer him saying lord when saw we thee unhungred and fed thee or thirsty and gave thee drink
when saw we thee a stranger and took thee in or naked and clothed thee or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee and the king shall answer and say unto them verily I say unto you in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me
then shall he say also unto them on the left hand depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels for I was unhungred and ye gave me no meat I was thirsty and ye gave me no drink I was a stranger and ye took me not in naked and ye clothed me not sick and in prison and ye visited me not
then shall they also answer him saying lord when saw we thee unhungred or a thirst or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister unto thee then shall he answer them saying verily I say unto you in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these ye did it not to me and these shall go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal
Let us pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Thank you for the souls saved today. Thank you for Pastor Shelley. I ask you to bless him now as he preaches your word. Please help us to be attentive and learn from your word. In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen. I want to kind of focus at the later portion of this passage, and this is a more difficult passage of scripture here, but it's describing two different groups.
It says in verse number 32, and before him shall be gathered all nations and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divided the sheep from the goats and he shall set the sheep on his right hand but the goats on the left.
And so you have a prophecy of the end times really where Jesus Christ is talking about two groups of people. There's sheep on the right hand and there's goats on the left hand.
And he makes it abundantly clear that those on the left hand are going to go to hell. He says in verse number 41, then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
And so the title of my sermon this evening is this, The Left Are Going to Hell. The Left Are Going to Hell. Now that's just what the Bible says right here. I read it out loud, okay.
Now let's understand what the Bible is saying here on this passage. Now this is a very controversial passage of scripture because on the surface it seems like you could kind of teach a works-based salvation.
And, you know, if someone were to try to preach works salvation or try to suggest that the Bible teaches works salvation, I would think this would be one of the passages they would go to
because it kind of gives them an opportunity to twist the scripture and to ignore the rest of the Bible and to try and make it seem like salvation is by works.
So let's just kind of look at some of these verses here and let's just see what it's saying. It says in verse number 31, when the son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.
And before him shall be gathered all nations and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divided his sheep from the goats.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand but the goats on the left. Now let's just make sure we're understanding every verse here for a second.
Number one, it says in verse 31, when the son of man shall come in his glory. When is this? And he's specifically setting up the throne of his glory.
This is pretty clear that it's about the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. It's when Christ comes back and he's going to set up his throne.
Now it's also clear that this is this timeline based on Matthew 24 because Matthew 24 is Jesus Christ being asked specifically when he's going to come back and when he's going to set up his kingdom.
That's the question. Let's just go there for a second. Don't just believe me. Let's believe what the Bible says. Matthew 24.
And let's see what it says in verse number three, and as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately saying,
Tell us when these things shall be and what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the world.
So Christ is answering several questions here. What things are going to happen? The temple is going to be destroyed and he's going to return and it's going to be the end of the world.
That is what's being answered in Matthew 24 all the way through Matthew 25.
Then it makes perfect sense that he says specifically in verse 31 when the Son of Man shall come in his glory. That's him answering when he's coming back specifically.
So we understand the timeline. Christ comes back and then when he comes back and he's setting up his throne, it says and before him shall be gathered all nations.
So what is he doing? He's gathering all the people that are alive still on the earth after that great wrath period of time.
Because not everybody dies Indian times. There's still going to be a lot of people left on the earth.
He's gathering them all together and then what is he doing? He's now dividing them.
He's dividing them into two groups, the sheep on one side and the goats on the other side.
These are metaphors of course for these two specific groups.
To the sheep in verse 33, he shall set the sheep on his right hand but the goats on his left.
Then shall the king say unto them on his right hand, come ye blessed of my father and here at the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was a hungered and he gave me meat. I was thirsty and he gave me drink. I was a stranger and he took me in naked and he clothed me.
I was sick and he visited me. I was in prison and he came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee a hungered and fed thee or thirsty and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in or naked and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee?
And the king shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you, and as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Now think about what's just happened and think about what I'm saying specifically.
Because some people may argue about some of these points.
They may say, well I think this is just all the saved.
Or I think this is like every person that's saved that's here.
But wait a minute, wouldn't the saved know who Jesus is already?
Wouldn't they have been hanging out with Jesus in heaven for a while now and potentially even thousands of years?
So they're not going to be really confused about this.
Plus, in heaven, we're not really like up there giving Jesus water and ministering to Jesus.
There wasn't really a lot of sick people to minister to.
You know, when do you do the things that were described in this passage?
When are you going and visiting people in prison and clothing people and giving people a drink?
That's what you do on earth.
So it seems pretty clear that the people he's talking to and their response is people that have only been on earth
and only been doing those particular experiences, they've never even seen Jesus.
How could they say, when have we ever even seen you to give you a cup of water?
Why would someone that's been in heaven for 5,000 years with Jesus ever say that?
They wouldn't have said that.
This is not Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
This is not all of our fathers that have already died that are wondering like, when have we ever seen you Jesus?
No, it's the people that are still on earth that have not died yet that have not seen Jesus.
And what have they done?
They've ministered, they've done good things, and specifically the Bible calls them the righteous.
Now I could see, based on just, if we just only read this parable,
if the Bible was just somehow, we just cut out just this one small part of the Bible,
that's the only thing we've ever read in our entire life,
I could see how you could think like, well, it seems like those that go to heaven are going there because they did good things.
And the people who are not doing these good things are the ones going to hell.
It kind of sounds like that.
But, you know, notice that the Bible didn't say that they were righteous because they did these things.
It said the righteous did these things.
Okay, that's one thing I want to show you.
Second thing I want to show you is notice that these people did all these things in faith.
Because none of them were doing them in the context of they knew this was Jesus or were going to be benefiting Jesus.
They were actually confused at how that even applied.
They didn't understand that. They were just doing it in what? Good faith.
Okay, so you notice that these people are faithful, the Bible already describes them as righteous, and they're the sheep of God.
So if we look anywhere else in the Bible that tells us what someone is a sheep,
how they are a sheep, how they're righteous, and what faith means,
then we'll know that these people are people that have believed in Jesus Christ.
Okay, when we understand that the just shall live by faith,
the only reason someone is righteous is because they've had the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ given unto them.
That's the only thing that makes someone righteous.
I mean, keep your finger here and go to Romans chapter number four for a second.
Let's just see what the Bible says about righteousness.
Romans chapter four verse one,
What shall we say then, that Abraham our father is pertaining the flesh hath found?
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
For what sayeth the scripture, Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness?
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly,
his faith is counted for righteousness.
The only reason someone is righteous is because they had faith in God,
because they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
and that's what counted for their righteousness, not because they did righteous deeds.
It even says in the next verse,
even as David also described the blessings of the man unto him God imputed righteousness without works.
So notice we're saved without works,
and it's not in the Old Testament they were saved by keeping the works of the law,
because specifically it talks about Abraham's righteousness in verse 9.
Come in this blessing is then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also.
For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
How, how was it then reckoned?
When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision?
So this is the question, how did Abraham get righteous?
Did he get righteous by following the law and by following circumcision,
or did he get salvation and righteousness without circumcision?
And it's literally asking that question.
It says not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Why? Because no one was righteous by what they did.
They were righteous by their faith.
So the Bible is crystal clear here.
If we go to Matthew 25,
we're like talking about several different parables about end times Bible prophecy.
It's super confusing to try and make that turn into how to get saved.
It doesn't even explain how to get saved.
Here it was explaining, how do I obtain righteousness by faith?
In Matthew 25, it's not saying how to become righteous.
It's already addressing people that are righteous.
It's saying the righteous are doing these things.
Go back to Matthew 25.
It said in verse number 37,
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying...
Notice that these people are already righteous.
So how did they get righteous?
They believed in Jesus Christ.
And of course, they put their faith in Christ.
That's how they were saved.
Now, what can we learn from just this simple passage?
We can learn that when we do something good in the name of Jesus Christ,
He takes that personally.
That's an important lesson that we can learn from this.
Here's another thing that I want you to point out that's very important in this passage.
Whenever he says in verse number 40,
Verily I say unto you,
and as much as you have done it unto any single person,
you've done it unto me.
Oh wait, that must have been like the non-inspired version that I just read.
Is that what it said?
As much as you've done it to any singular person,
or does it say,
unto one of the least of these my brethren,
you've done it unto me.
Notice the careful language here.
He's saying, hey, when you've done things unto my brethren,
then you've done it unto me.
He didn't say when you've done it to any person.
So what do we understand about the righteous?
The righteous do good unto Christians,
unto people that are saved,
unto people that are the ministers of Jesus Christ.
When someone comes out with the sincere gospel of Jesus Christ
as an evangelist, as a missionary, as a Christian,
the righteous do what?
They help the widows.
They help feeding.
They're clothing the naked.
They're giving them cups of cold water.
And look, us as soul winners,
we recognize that not everybody hands us a cup of cold water.
Pretty much it's limited mostly to the people that are Christian.
Now again, I've gotten cups of water from people that were not Christian.
I'm not going to say that it hasn't happened.
But generally speaking,
it's virtually people that are already saved
or a Christian are the ones that are offering these type of things
and are helping the blessed.
And look, the Muslim wasn't giving it to you because you're a Christian.
He was doing it because he's trying to earn his way into heaven.
Okay, folks?
But the person that understands who you are
and what message you're bringing will give you a cup of water.
Because if a Muslim understood who you are and what you're bringing,
he'll chop your head off.
That's what a real Muslim would do.
So don't get confused about those type of things.
The Bible is making it clear
that the righteous are the ones that minister to God's people.
What's the flip side? Verse 41.
Then shall he say,
Also, under them on the left hand depart from me,
ye cursed into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was hungered, and ye gave me no meat.
I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink.
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in.
Naked, and ye clothed me not.
Sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying,
Lord, when saw we thee at hunger, or thirst,
or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,
and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall they answer them, saying,
Verily I say unto you,
and as much as ye did it not unto one of the least of these,
ye did it not unto me.
Notice this word, too.
These.
That's an important word there.
He's not saying,
and as much as ye did it not unto one of the least of anybody,
or the people among you,
you didn't do it to any of the sheep over here,
you didn't do it unto me.
He's pointing out,
you guys didn't minister to them,
and therefore you're not ministering unto me.
And notice verse 46,
and thee shall go away into everlasting punishment,
but the righteous end to life eternal.
Now, when we read this passage,
like I said,
I can totally see how someone could read this and think,
well, the reason why some are going to heaven
is because they did all these good things,
and the reason why some are not
is because they didn't do these things.
But what we have to understand is that
that could be an interpretation,
but here's another possible interpretation.
The people that are saved are going to do these things,
and the people that are not saved
are not going to do these things.
It's not that they're doing these things
to get saved.
It's they're doing these things because they are saved.
That's the reality of understanding Matthew 25, okay?
And how do I know that?
From the rest of the Bible.
When we study the rest of the Bible,
we understand that really the saved
are the ones that do the works,
and the unsaved are the ones who are not doing the works.
Now, I want to prove this.
Let's go to a lot of verses.
Go to Matthew 23.
Go to Matthew chapter 23.
Matthew chapter 23,
and look at verse number 13.
Now, this is a pretty famous portion of scripture
where Jesus is ripping on the Pharisees and the scribes,
but it says in verse 13,
but woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites,
for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men,
for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Now, this is why I want to point out this verse.
He's already saying,
you guys are not going to the kingdom of heaven.
So, Matthew 23 is a description
of what people that are not going to heaven are like.
Now, these people haven't even died yet.
These people are still alive on earth.
Someone that we could identify here
would be similar to the goats,
to the people on the left,
because the people on the left,
they're destined for hell,
as Christ made it clear in that passage.
These people are destined for hell,
as the passage indicated.
What are these people like?
What are the scribes and the Pharisees like,
since we know that these people are destined for hell?
Well, number one, we know that they're hypocrites.
What is a hypocrite?
It's one that says something and doesn't do it.
If you say something and you don't do it,
you're a hypocrite.
If you preach something
and you don't live by what you preach,
you're a hypocrite.
So, the individual that says,
I love poor people, but doesn't help poor people,
is a hypocrite.
The person that says,
hey, we should care about widows,
but they don't care about widows,
is a hypocrite.
Someone that says, I love God,
but they don't really love God,
is a hypocrite.
That is what the left is like.
They say they love God,
they say they love the poor,
they say they want to help people,
but they don't actually help them
and they don't genuinely love them.
Now, what does it say in verse 14?
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites, for ye devour widows,
widows, houses.
If we paid attention to the parable
or the story or really end times prophecy
that Jesus Christ is giving us
about these two groups,
the goats and the sheep,
he's saying that on one side,
they fed the hungry
and gave drink to the thirsty,
they housed the stranger,
they clothed the naked,
they helped the sick,
and they visited those in prison.
Those are the categories
that we're talking about, okay?
The first group, feeding the hungry
and taking care of the thirsty.
Who would be someone
that would really need food
and drink and that kind of substance?
How about widows?
Widows is a person
that would definitely need this.
What would be the opposite of that?
How about devouring widows' houses?
That's pretty much the exact opposite.
So, really, what we see is the left
are a group of people
that literally just devour widows' houses.
They aren't helping the widows.
They're not giving food.
They're not giving drink.
They're not blessing the widows.
They're actually taking away from them.
And in Acts chapter number,
what is it, six?
What is the widow chapter?
Am I right on this?
Someone help me.
Someone help.
No one knows the Bible here, okay?
This is impressive.
Is this when they ordained Stephen?
Acts chapter six.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm right on this.
Acts chapter number six,
we're so concerned with widows
that we literally appoint evangelists,
we appoint deacons, or whatever you want to call them,
to literally minister unto widows.
So you see, the saved are so concerned
with what they're doing
that they literally ordain people
to minister unto widows,
and then you see the left,
they're devouring widows' houses, okay?
Let's go to another passage.
Go to Luke chapter four.
Go to Luke chapter number four.
Apparently, we need to read
Acts chapter number six as a church.
Luke chapter number four, look at verse 26.
It says, let's read verse 25, too, I think.
But I tell you of a truth.
Many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias,
when the heaven was shut up three years and six months,
when great famine was throughout all the land.
But none of them was Elias,
save, undecerept the, a city of Zidane,
a city of Zidane,
a city of Zidane unto a woman that was a widow.
Now, this actually makes them upset,
but what's interesting to me is that
we actually see a man of God
going to a specific widow
and blesses that widow
and she actually has food
during that period of time in lot of life.
So when that man of God goes around widows
they're not devouring widows' houses.
They're actually blessing them
and feeding them
and I was just pointing this out.
Now, again,
the widows that are amongst the children of Israel
look at Moses,
they're not devouring widows' houses
No one's ministering unto them. Why? Because they're filled with a bunch of wicked people.
They were filled with a bunch of the left, the ones that are hypocrites, that are fake, that don't love God.
And Elijah is the one that's going and actually ministering unto widows.
And not just widows of his own people, even foreign widows.
He's going and helping those. That's the whole point of this that they got mad about.
He's not only helping widows, he's helping foreign widows above the widows that are in their own community or in their own nation.
He even says in verse 27,
So we also see another miracle that was performed on Gentiles, not on those of the children of Israel.
But we see that the men of God are constantly concerned with feeding those and giving drink and caring about the needs of people, helping strangers.
Go if you would to Luke chapter 10, we'll see another story about this.
Luke chapter number 10, and look at verse number 30.
So we're going to rightly divide the Word of God here, rightly divide the truth,
and Matthew 25 does not bring up how to obtain eternal life.
It doesn't say this is how you go to heaven. It doesn't say this is how you become righteous.
It doesn't say these are the people that are going to have everlasting life.
It simply says these people are going to heaven, these people are going to hell.
The question of why is not answered.
But we do learn that these two groups can be described as being polar opposites.
One group is ministering to the sheep, one group is not ministering to the sheep.
As we look in the Bible and we look at the Pharisees and the Sadducees, they don't minister to the widows.
They're devouring widows' houses.
And we see men of God actually ministering to them.
Acts chapter number 6, we see this in Old Testament pictures as well.
How about strangers? How about foreigners?
One group is supposedly housing foreigners and taking care of them.
Another group is not going to do so.
Well, look at Luke chapter number 10, verse number 30.
And Jesus answering said,
A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves,
which stripped him of his raiment and wounded him and departed, leaving him half dead.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way.
And when he saw them, he passed on the other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him and passed by on the other side.
You know, these guys are passing on the left side, aren't they?
These are the left. These people are not saved, even though they're the children of Israel.
Literally, they're a priest, they're a Levite.
But they're not ministering unto this person.
He was a Samaritan. He's a foreigner. He's a stranger.
Says,
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion on him.
And he went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine,
and set him on his own beast and brought him into an inn, and took care of him.
And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence and gave them to the host and said unto him,
Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Which now these three thinkest thou was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves.
Now, I guess, I want to make it clear. I'm not sure if the first guy is a Samaritan, but this guy is the Samaritan.
Okay. Some guy's injured, probably of Judah, we don't know, traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, of Judah.
The Levite doesn't help, the priest doesn't help, but the Samaritan does help.
So if we were to try and analyze this story, based on the same things of Matthew 25,
well, the first two guys are on the left, and the other guy's on the right.
But it still doesn't tell us how to get saved, it's just saying,
people that are saved are going to do good, people that are not saved are going to do the wrong thing here.
But what's interesting is this actual story. Why did Jesus even bring up this story?
Why is this in the Bible? Did you notice when we started reading verse 30 and Jesus answering?
Jesus was answering something. Well, let's back up a little bit, let's go to verse 25.
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying,
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Well, that's an interesting question. And let's ask this, was this guy even sincere?
No, he was not sincere whatsoever because it says, and tempted him.
What is this? He's trying to test Jesus, they're trying to trap Jesus,
they're trying to confuse Jesus specifically.
Hey, what do I have to do to have eternal life?
So Jesus answered and said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou?
Now this is what I like, this is almost like us going soul winning.
Hey, what do you have to do to be saved?
This guy asks the question, but then Jesus just flips around.
Well, why don't you tell me? How does someone get saved?
Now, we hear all kinds of responses, let's listen to this guy's response.
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind,
and thy neighbor as thyself.
So, what does that sound like? Keep the commandments.
Now this is what Jesus answers.
And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast answered right, this do, and thou shalt live.
Hey, keep all the commandments.
Now, here's the thing, when we hear that, we would say that's the wrong answer.
But we're kind of going a step ahead of them.
We could technically, if we wanted to slow down, say,
You're right, technically if you keep all the commandments you'll go to heaven.
But there's a problem, you haven't.
Here's the problem, for all of sin it comes short of the glory of God.
And isn't that why we start with that verse?
They say to us, hey, keep all the commandments.
And we say, well that's, there's a problem here, because you've sinned.
Jesus wasn't necessarily always going to give the right answer to everybody that asked him,
because this guy isn't asking a sincere question.
So Jesus literally taught in parables on purpose to deceive these wicked people.
And many times speak in an unclear manner just to confuse them because of the wickedness of their heart.
So he didn't always just give them the plain answer.
But it's not like Jesus said anything wrong here.
Obviously Jesus is telling us the truth.
Yeah, keep all the commandments.
But here's the problem, you can't keep all the commandments.
Yet you'll have people today tell you, oh look, Jesus said keep the commandments.
And then it's like, okay, so did you keep all the commandments?
Well, you don't have to keep all of them.
But wait a minute, if we're going to go strictly, didn't Jesus say to keep all of them?
And didn't he say in James chapter number 2 that if you keep the whole law you had offended one point, you're guilty of all?
Oops, you broke one, well now you're in trouble.
Because not only are you guilty, you're guilty of all.
That's what the Bible says.
So if we're going to go on these strict definitions, well you're in trouble.
But he said, hey, do that and you're going to live.
Now look at verse 29, this helps us.
But he, and who's the he? The lawyer.
But the lawyer, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, and who is my neighbor?
Notice this guy wants to claim, I'm literally righteous.
I've literally kept all the commandments.
But he was a little bit worried about it.
Because he kind of knew in the back of his mind, like, well, I haven't loved everybody that's my neighbor.
So who's my neighbor?
Because then I could actually be saved if it's by keeping the commandments in his mind.
In his mind he literally thought that he could be justified in this.
So he asked, well, who's my neighbor?
Then verse 30, and Jesus answering said.
And he gives this parable, you want to know why he probably gave this parable or this story?
It wouldn't even surprise me if this lawyer was one of those guys that was literally walking down the road that walked past this guy.
Who knows? Maybe it's not.
But either way it convicted the guy and the guy recognized, well, yeah, I would have never dealt with that guy either.
Yeah, I've literally walked by people and not done this whatsoever.
And so he shows him, hey, who's the neighbor here?
Well, it's the guy who actually helped him.
And then, of course, Jesus tells him to do likewise.
But this is the point. The point is that those who are saved are going to be righteous and they're going to actually help people.
They're going to help the strangers.
Whereas the unrighteous, they aren't going to help people.
Did you notice? What's going to convict this guy?
What's going to convince this guy that he's a sinner?
This story.
So you know what that tells me?
This guy didn't do that.
You know what that tells me?
This guy doesn't lodge strangers.
You know what that tells me?
The left doesn't lodge strangers.
You know what that tells me?
The unsaved doesn't lodge strangers.
They hate the strangers.
They don't care for the strangers.
They're not going to do what Matthew 25 said.
They're going to be the person saying, well, when did we see Jesus by the road and not minister unto him?
And he's going to say, well, when you didn't do it unto the least of these my brethren, you didn't do it unto me.
And when they say, well, when did we see you hungry and thirsty and we didn't give you food or drink?
He's going to say, when you didn't do it unto the least of these widows, you didn't do it unto me.
In fact, you actually devoured their house if we know what you're really like.
What are some of the other ones?
Sick.
So the left, you know, these individuals don't help the sick.
In fact, think about just how many stories in the Bible have a guy that's hurting, you know, crippled, blind, something,
and they want to be healed on the Sabbath day.
And the Bible tells us, and Jesus rebukes the Pharisees and the Sadducees, saying that they can't be healed on the Sabbath.
They're actually mad that people are healed on the Sabbath.
They hate the poor and the crippled so much that they would rather them be poor and crippled and lame and blind
than having, quote, broke the Sabbath, which wasn't even breaking the Sabbath only technically,
but it wasn't actually breaking the Sabbath according to the spirit of the law.
And so you can see a consistency here.
What's the last one?
I'll go to another verse. Go to 2 Timothy 1.
The last thing that they don't do is visit people in prison.
And boy, that one's pretty easy.
That one's pretty easy to believe that people aren't, you know, the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the left,
they're not necessarily visiting people in prison.
So what's the point of Matthew 25?
It's to kind of help us understand that only the saved are actually doing the spiritual good works.
Only saved people do good works.
And when we talk about good works, I'm talking about a qualified good works, ones that are spiritual.
Because the left will do, quote, good works in the eyes of men.
They'll give money to people and you'll think like, oh, this person gave money.
But they're only doing it to be seen of men and there's ulterior motives attached to it.
And I'm going to talk about that in just a second.
But we see consistently in the Bible they're actually just hypocrites.
They don't actually believe what they say. They don't do what they say.
They're not really helping people. They're doing the exact opposite.
And Jesus is obviously mad at them for how hypocritical they are and how wicked they really are
and how they haven't believed in Jesus Christ.
If we look in 2 Timothy chapter 1, we're going to see another example, though, of how the saved do care about these things.
The saved care about feeding people, giving people drinks of water,
saved care about strangers, saved care about the naked,
the saved care about the sick, and the saved care about those in prison.
2 Timothy chapter 1 verse 15,
But when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found me.
The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day.
And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
So we see here an example of a Christian who sought out Paul diligently and found him.
Now, I read that first verse on purpose. Notice in verse 15 it says,
All they which are in Asia be turned away from me.
I point that out to say this. Paul wasn't just getting random people to just come and visit him
and take care of him and minister unto him.
In fact, he's pointing out someone in a singular fashion because it's like everyone had abandoned him.
No one was visiting him, only this guy.
And this guy's a saved guy. Why?
Because the unsaved aren't going into prisons and ministering unto saved people.
In fact, virtually every prison, I guarantee we go and talk to them in America today
and we say, Who's coming to the prisons to visit the inmates?
Pretty much Christians, right?
We don't really see just, well, this atheist group has decided to minister unto the people in jail
and to tell them that it doesn't matter anyways and when they die their life's meaningless.
You know, that really motivated the people in prison, didn't it?
Well, actually this doesn't even make any sense because there shouldn't be any right or wrong.
Because I'm an atheist, right?
They're not going and ministering to people in prison. It's usually Christians, it's usually the saved.
Those are the people that are ministering unto them.
And so consistently we have in the Bible examples of here's someone helping a widow that's saved,
here's someone that's saved that's helping someone that's a stranger,
here's someone that's saved that's helping someone that's in prison, sick.
And when I read Matthew 25, I also understand that it's talking about groups of people.
It was all the sheep and all the goats.
So I don't think that what it's trying to say is that every saved person does all of these,
but rather it's just saying we look at this group as a collective, as a collective,
the people that visit people in prison are in this group,
the people that help the people that were poor were in this group,
the people that were doing the, you know, clothing and the visiting the sick, they were in this group.
It doesn't mean that every individual did all of those things,
but the people that did those things were in that group.
And no one in this group ever did any of it.
No one on the left ever did any of that at all.
Now some people will get confused about this and say like,
well I think that the unsaved are actually doing good things.
Well go over to 1 John chapter 3 and I'll get there in a second,
but what if we just analyze like one group for a second?
Let's just pick someone out and let's just do a case study
and see are the left really doing these good things?
How about Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
I mean what a wonderful foundation.
You know, two people, they're in fact considered according to online articles and stuff
some of the most generous of all the philanthropists in all of America.
I mean they're just donating so much money to this foundation to help people.
So I decided to read about it and try to figure out like,
what is this organization doing?
Because it is true that Bill and Melinda Gates are giving millions and millions of dollars
to this organization called Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Interesting naming.
It's probably not to get any recognition or honor for their donations, okay?
And not only do they give money, other groups can give, anybody can give money.
You can give money right now to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
No one's signing up yet. I don't know why.
I'm just like, right now.
Well, it's because you haven't heard about the programs yet.
Let me explain their programs, okay?
I read about their, this is their goals.
These are like the most important things that Bill and Melinda Gates are going to do, okay?
And they had six.
That was an interesting number.
So the number one was that they are concerned with agricultural issues.
Sounds good.
You know, they're going to help the agriculture.
We need food, right?
Isn't the first thing that they care about food and drink for people?
Number one, most important thing, they're going to address agricultural issues.
Number two, family planning.
Well, that's important to plan your family.
We'll talk about that in a minute.
Number three, inclusive financial systems.
Yeah, they got to worry about, you know, the poor.
They're talking about families.
They also want the sick.
So number four is polio, okay?
They want to address issues with polio.
Number five, they want to deal with issues concerning water sanitation and hygiene.
So see, I mean, they're just, they're caring about food, clothing, the sick.
And then last was women in leadership.
I don't even know how to spin that one, but it's great, right?
These underrepresented people, women, we want to help them.
So let's dig into some of these, though, a little bit more.
Because if we want to do a case study, let's kind of figure out.
Obviously, the left, they just love people so much, right?
Agriculture.
So this is what they're actually doing.
When you give money to Bill and Melinda Gates
and they address their number one priority, agriculture,
this is what they're spending the money on.
Climate change smart crop varieties.
So they're actually making modified, genetically modified crops
to handle the climate crisis.
They're spending money on research and development
to make those kind of products.
Secondly, they're giving livestock all kinds of vaccinations.
And then thirdly, they're giving the governments money
in these areas to develop these programs.
Isn't that wonderful?
I mean, you all don't seem that excited about this.
You know, maybe it's because the genetically modified crops
probably cause cancer and all kinds of diseases and issues.
And probably because the vaccines do the same thing.
In fact, I would like for my crops to be as natural as possible
and my cows to be as natural as possible.
So I really wonder if they actually care about people
or if they make a ton of money poisoning people
and destroying our environment.
And in fact, a lot of people don't even understand
how genetically modified organizations even work.
In the agricultural industry, you cannot produce
a genetically modified crop without permission.
So if you don't have permission from the company
that produces the genetically modified crop,
then they can sue you and they can take all kinds of money from you.
So what actually happens is companies like Monsanto
will plant a bunch of genetically modified corn
right next to your corn.
And you know what happens?
You know how crops actually spread naturally?
It's called wind.
And what will happen is wind will actually blow their crop onto your field.
I mean, how are you going to stop that?
And then what happens is those products will then start growing in your field.
Well, then they'll have an inspector come
and they'll actually inspect some of the crops on your land.
And if they detect even just one, one plant
that is genetically modified or comes back to the lab
and says that they have anything to do with you,
now Monsanto is going to sue you for their crop product
being in your farmland and they can literally sue you
to the point where they can just take your farmland.
And so you know what Monsanto did?
They just put their farm next to yours
and then they sued you and took your farm
and then they took your neighbor's farm
and then they took your neighbor's farm.
So even if you could argue that the genetically modified crops
don't even harm you, well, they take all the farmland.
They literally steal all of the farmland
from all the poor farmers that they love so much.
They literally take the family farm
and take their business, strip it right from them
because they care about climate, don't they?
Now you think I'm just saying this.
This has happened repeatedly in America
where small-time farmers have had their land
literally stolen by them by these big industry agricultural crooks
all over the world.
Additionally, the vaccinations,
whether or not you think that they even help the cattle or not,
someone's making big money on these animal livestock vaccinations.
And giving money to these governments,
that is literally just putting money into a bag of holes in it.
I mean, you want to know why they give money to these governments
so then the governments give kit back to these people
so that Bill Gates can go fly out to that country
and do a little speech
and the government will pay him half a million dollars
for delivering a speech.
So Bill and Millennial Gates will give a million dollars
to this government to increase their agricultural needs
and then they'll show up and give a ceremony
where they take a bunch of pictures and say,
we're helping Africa grow crops.
And then they'll pay them half a million dollars to do it
and then it's just a shell.
It's just a shell to feed money back into himself
and feed money into these governments
and of course then they can put their little puppets
into the government agencies that they want
because they're giving money to these government agencies,
to the lobby groups.
There is nothing about, number one,
that is sincere, genuine, or honest.
They're not trying to feed people.
They're trying to steal farmland
and put money into their own pockets.
Number two, family planning.
Oh yeah, that's birth control.
Another thing they're doing is they're going to Africa
and they're providing birth control to all these people
to just slaughter and destroy all the people in Africa.
He said, why kill a bunch of kids in Africa
other than just being evil?
Well, that's enough for them probably.
But you want to know why?
Well, Christianity has been spreading in Africa a lot.
And you know what Christianity does over a couple generations?
It pulls people out of poverty
and it actually creates an issue for them.
So you know what they need to do?
They need to slaughter the next generation of these areas
and keep them destitute and keep them poor
and keep them as a slave class over there in Africa.
Africa is rich in minerals and resources
and they need to constantly extract that
while keeping all the people there dumb, impoverished,
and under their mighty hand of control.
So they literally go over there
and they're just slaughtering all of the babies
through birth control processes.
Who in the world would say that birth control
actually cares about anybody?
Number three, oh, inclusive financial situations.
Or financial systems.
When you read about this, this is what they're doing.
They're giving, they're signing up women
to be on digital payment systems.
Boy, is that not going to help anything.
Yeah, giving women over in Africa a credit card.
Wow, way to go.
That's going to really solve the poverty.
You know what solves poverty?
Giving women credit cards.
Just think about all the money they're going to save.
Just think about all the things
that are going to go well over in that area
when all these women are on these digital systems.
You know what you don't have when you're in a digital system?
You don't have interest.
You also don't have credit card processing fees.
Do you know credit card processing fees
is like another hidden tax on all of us?
Because like if everybody just paid cash
and we only received cash,
then as opposed to the credit cards,
you know it's like a 6% like increase
or a couple percent increase on all this stuff.
And we all like the points and stuff,
but at the end of the day
there's a cost associated with that.
Not just the interest,
there's literally just a hidden tax
of credit card processing fees.
So you go to Africa,
they're purchasing and selling.
And again, we're just getting
nickeled and dimed in every area of life.
Well, they haven't done that to Africa.
Oh, we're going to help you.
You're not losing 6% of all the stuff that you get?
Let us help you lose 6%
and then get interest and get loans.
That'll help you.
Interest and loans will really pull you guys out of poverty.
No, it's to extract the wealth from Africa too.
Because it's not enough to go into the ghettos of America
and get all the payday loans
and high interest credit cards on those individuals.
Let's get the people in Africa to sign up for it too
and extract all the wealth from the people in Africa as well.
That's what Bill and Melinda Gates are doing.
Here's the fourth one, polio.
It's not like there's all these people
that are sick with polio.
They're just passing out vaccinations to everybody
to just kill everybody.
That's what they're doing again.
Number five, water sanitation and hygiene.
Now this one I was kind of like thinking,
well, how is that bad?
How is like water sanitation and hygiene ever a bad thing?
And then I read about it.
It was very interesting.
I actually pulled it up.
I want to read a little bit about this.
It says, we collaborate with government leaders,
the private sector and technologists
to advance promising new toilet
and waste treatment technologies,
service delivery models,
and policies with the greatest potential
of revolutionized sanitation standards and practices
at the local and national levels.
Our core incentives include,
so they say we're trying to work with all these people,
just like research and development,
to come up with new toilet technologies, all right?
Promoting policies and practical steps
that governments can take
now to establish safer sanitation
through fecal sludge management,
a sanitation strategy that does not require sewers.
Okay, so they want to solve the sanitation problem in Africa
with a solution where they don't actually have a sewer.
That's really bad, okay?
You have to understand that your waste goes into the sewer
and then it goes away from you, okay?
The reason why India stinks
is because their stink is not going down a sewer.
You know, they don't have the outhouse.
It's not going back into the ground.
If we actually read the Bible,
what does the Bible say?
You're actually supposed to have on the end of your weapon
a paddle to dig up the dirt
and to ease yourself into the dirt
and then to cover yourself there with.
So you know what?
Biblically speaking, you know how you deal with that?
You put it in the ground.
You don't want to not put it in the ground.
They're trying to come up with a solution
of not putting it in the ground.
That's what a sewer is.
You know what a sewer is?
Underground.
I'm sorry, you're not rabbis.
You don't know what sewers are.
Sewers and sewer tunnels
is where fecal matter travels, okay?
And people that are like it.
And essentially, that's a good way to have sanitation.
Bad ways to have sanitation?
It's above ground.
This is a bad method.
But this is what they're trying to do.
They're going to spend all this money
to come up with a solution for this.
Not only that, they said they're investing
alongside governments in our priority geographies
and accelerated adoption of safety management,
city-wide sanitation,
particularly in slums and informal settlements
that are typically undeserved, okay?
It says investing in technologies
such as reinvented toilets.
Who in here thinks that the toilet is a bad solution?
Who in here thinks that we need to reinvent toilets?
I feel like toilets are doing a pretty good job so far.
Now, again, that doesn't mean that every toilet's a nice one,
but I'm just saying, a new toilet,
I mean, there's not really a problem with it.
I like it.
Toilets seem pretty good, okay?
We need to think of a new toilet, all right?
This new toilet can radically change
the way that municipalities and households
manage human waste affordably
on a local scale
with little or no need for water and electricity.
So they want to create a toilet that doesn't use water.
Why?
Because of climate change, because of water scarcity.
But you know what?
When you don't have water, you know what you don't have?
Sanitation.
This is the weirdest...
This is like trying to come up with burgers without meat, okay?
It's like this is so...
It's hard for most of us to understand
because this problem's already been solved for us for so long
that we kind of forgot how this is so important.
But it's like, you know what causes sanitation?
Water.
When the Bible talks about cleaning yourself,
you know what it says?
Use running water.
You know why your toilet works?
Water.
If you don't have a water supply to your toilet,
it doesn't work, okay?
The flow of water and the rushing of water
and the cleansing of water,
this is what causes you to be clean.
This is why a shower works great.
You know, baths are okay,
but they're not as clean as a shower.
Shower is that running water that's washing.
Imagine a shower without running water.
This isn't going to be cool, okay?
We're reinventing showers.
It's like, no, showers are good.
Toilet's good.
This is Bill Gates.
Instead of just raising money to build a sewer
and put a normal toilet in Africa,
we have to spend money trying to research
how to reinvent a toilet.
How could you tell me that you care about people?
You're going to spend billions of dollars
reinventing toilets rather than just building a sewer
and putting in a toilet.
That's because these people don't even care about the poor.
They're going to come up with a solution
that doesn't even literally work on sanitation.
They're not trying to solve the sanitation issue
or the hygiene issue.
They're trying to reinvent toilets, folks.
And how are they doing that?
By giving money to governments
and giving money to technology companies.
I wonder what kind of technology comes?
Like Microsoft or something?
I wonder if Bill and Melinda Gates
are giving money to Microsoft
to come up with a new toilet situation.
You know, like Beyond Meat
coming up with new meat solutions
and new toilets.
You know, some problems we've already solved.
You know, like how do you solve AIDS?
Leviticus 2013.
It's like we've got to figure out how to solve this problem, right?
You know, it's really difficult.
It's really easy.
There's so many problems that we've already solved.
How do we solve, you know, men competing in women's sports?
Again, revisit Leviticus 2013.
It's like how do we solve toilets?
We don't.
We just get toilets.
How do we solve sanitation?
Running water.
It's like, well, but what do we do?
Get them a water system.
You know, it's not like the rich people in our world
don't have the money to build a water system
and sanitation in these areas.
In fact, all the people that are poor
and need food and need clothing,
like the rich people could already give them that tomorrow
if they wanted.
They don't want that.
They're extracting more wealth from these people.
Instead of just giving them a toilet,
they're going to reinvent the toilet
so they can make even more money.
Think about it.
How much money is the government going to charge
for a normal toilet?
A hundred bucks each.
How much are they going to charge these people
for these reinvented new toilets that they discovered?
They're going to charge them all kinds of money.
I can think of an analogy,
but it would be a little crass, all right?
I'm going to charge them up the rear for that, right?
Literally.
Here's the last one, women and leadership.
That's what we need.
That's going to help Africa.
You know, the one thing Africa doesn't have enough of
is women leaders.
How could you sit here and tell me
that the left care about people
when this is literally their organization?
Show me how Bill and Melinda Gates
are doing anything positive, anything biblically.
You know, they don't...
In fact, here's my solution.
Let's help Africa.
Since they need more women and leadership,
I'm willing to send Kamala Harris.
I'm willing to sacrifice.
You know, we'll sacrifice our best woman leader,
Kamala Harris, and we'll give her directly to Africa.
We'll help. I'll pay for it, okay?
In fact, let's just give them all of our women leaders.
All the women in the Senate
and in the House of Representatives
and all the women governors in America,
let's send them all to Africa
and bless them with such an awesome opportunity
to help lead that nation.
Because, I mean, don't you remember
all the great civilizations of times past
which were led by women?
All the great armies of the past?
All the great technological advances
that have been achieved by all those great women inventors?
Now, again, I'm sure some women have invented
a few things like shopping and whatever,
but shopping malls and things like that,
but, I mean, come on, seriously?
Like, this is the organization that we have?
You know, if Bill and Melinda Gates survive the end times,
they're going to be in the group on the left
that Jesus looks at and said that,
you never did it under the lease of these, my brethren.
Hey, you never did it under these.
You didn't help.
And they're like, what about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
And they're like, yeah, we're going to talk about that
on the Great White Throne Judgment.
Yeah, we're going to talk about the people he murdered
and killed and hated through all of your works.
Go to 1 John 3, verse 7.
How did you turn there a while ago?
Look at verse 7.
Little children, let no man deceive you.
He that doeth righteousness is righteous,
even as he is righteous.
He that comitteth sins of the devil,
for the devil's sin is from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God
is manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin,
for a seed remaineth in him,
and he cannot sin because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest
and the children of the devil.
Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
For this is the message that he heard from the beginning,
that we should love one another,
not as Cain, who is of that wicked one,
and slew his brother,
and wherefore slew he him,
because his own works were evil,
and his brothers righteous.
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.
Now, this is some difficult language here,
but ultimately what the Bible is saying is
the saved are the only ones that do righteousness.
Did you notice what it says here in verse number 7?
He that doeth righteousness is righteous.
And specifically it says the inverse later, in verse 10,
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God.
Notice it's saying the people that are saved do righteousness.
The people that are not saved don't do righteousness.
Again, in isolation you'd say,
oh, look, notice, work salvation.
But no, it's those who are righteous do righteousness,
and those who are not righteous don't do righteousness.
How someone's righteous, we've already established
in Romans chapter number 4, is by faith in Jesus Christ.
So the outward manifestation of someone being righteous
is their doing righteousness.
But that's not why they're righteous.
They're righteous because of the imputed righteousness
of Jesus Christ.
But we also have to understand that these people
who preach work salvation, they're not perfect.
Notice what it's saying.
The people that are in these categories,
one only ever does righteousness,
and the other group never does righteousness.
It's not like one group does enough
and the other group didn't do quite enough.
It's like one only does righteousness
and the other group never does righteousness.
Why?
Because us and our new men,
that's who we really are in our identity.
And in our identity, we are the righteous
and we can only do righteousness.
And those who are unsaved,
they're incapable of ever doing righteousness.
They will never do righteousness.
They can't even do one good work.
And they never will do a good work.
And they don't love.
They don't love.
True love and true godly love
is not reciprocating good for good.
And it's not having affection
towards those who you would have natural affection towards.
Because everybody loves their own kid in a sense.
But ultimately, they don't have a true, sincere,
genuine love according to the Scripture.
And he's contrasting Cain and Abel.
Did you notice that Cain was of that wicked one
and he slew his brother?
Why?
Because his own works were evil
and his brother's righteous.
And then it says in verse 13,
Marvel not my brethren if the world hates you.
We know that we have passed from death and life
because we love the brethren.
He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer.
And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding him.
Christ is not in this,
or this passage is not describing the fact
that everyone is a literal murderer.
But in Matthew chapter number five,
Jesus makes it clear that if you're angry with your brother
and you hate him in your heart,
that's like committing murder.
And those that are unsaved,
the unsaved are so selfish and self-centered
that they actually don't love their neighbor as their self.
They love no one.
And they don't do anything good.
And because of that, it shows that they actually hate their brother
and they're all like a murderer in their heart
and they're all like Cain
and they're all like their father the devil.
And they don't have eternal life and they're going to hell.
Only those who are saved have a true love for their brother.
That's why we see in the Bible,
the group on one side actually loved their brother.
They actually ministered to the poor.
They actually ministered to the sick.
They actually did good.
And the people on the other side never did it.
They never did it and they don't have any love.
That's why verse 13 actually makes sense.
Marvel not my brethren if the world hates you.
That's the only option they had.
The world cannot love you because the world doesn't love.
And what is their biggest mantra?
We love.
Right? It's just love, love, love.
And the left loves.
But here's the reality. They love no one.
The left is so fake.
And the left of our world today
is no different than the left that are the goats.
They don't genuinely care about the poor.
They're not helping the sick.
They're not clothing a stranger.
In fact, what do they do?
Instead of feeding the hungry and the thirsty,
they keep printing money
and making it even harder on all of us through inflation.
That's what the left does.
They rip us off and they steal from us
and they destroy our businesses
and take our lands.
And you don't even know how bad it really is.
But the left is constantly stealing from us
like the communists that they are.
Not only that, instead of housing foreigners,
you know what they do?
Because everything they do is a cheap substitute and a fake.
They actually house the ungodly heathen.
They bring in Hindus, Jews, and Muslims into our country.
But not because they actually love them
and they don't really house them.
Instead of clothing the poor and the naked,
you know what they do?
They give drugs unto the naked.
They give them needles.
Go to California and they'll give you free needles.
They don't actually love those people.
They're not actually helping those people.
Instead of actually helping the sick
and giving them chicken noodle soup
and giving them rest,
they give them drugs and vaccines
and they're concerned with research
of how to cure AIDS for faggots.
And you know what cures a faggot?
A bullet in the head.
That's what cures him.
And instead of visiting people in prison
like God's people
or people that need a second chance,
you know what?
They release pedophiles into all of society, don't they?
So everything they do is a cheap substitute and a cheap fake.
Oh, we just care so much about the people they need a second chance.
Like murderers and pedophiles.
And they release them into society.
And drug dealers and all kinds of hardened criminals.
But you know what?
They'll arrest you if you post an anti-Semitic meme.
That's happening in the UK right now.
If you post a meme that's considered anti-Semitic,
they can put you in prison.
Even in America, there's been governors
like in Florida and what is it?
South Dakota maybe.
There's been a couple different states
that have tried to pass legislation recently
to make it illegal to be anti-Semitic
and to pass out anti-Semitic literature.
Now that's obviously against the Constitution, of course.
But they're still trying to do it.
Not because they care.
They're going to put people in prison.
Pretty soon it's going to be like Monopoly.
The only safe place to be is in prison.
Okay?
Because they've let all the pedophiles and the murderers out
and they're running rampage on everybody else
and everybody in prison's in there because they like the truth.
Because they actually shared the Bible or something.
But in the gulags, you're tortured and it's not great.
So I'm just putting it out there.
But what's the point of the sermon?
The point of the sermon is let's understand
what Matthew 25 is really saying.
When Jesus Christ comes back,
He's going to expose who the left really are
and show us they never really loved anybody.
They didn't really care about anybody.
It was only the saved.
Only the saved that loved people.
And let us not get confused with Matthew 25
and think it's how to get to heaven.
You know, you don't have to go to the prison.
You don't have to feed people.
You don't have to love on people to go to heaven.
You just have to believe in Jesus Christ.
And then people say, well, then what's the motivation?
Because you actually love people.
But you know what you'll notice?
The people that believe in work salvation,
they don't ever do that.
You know why?
Because they don't actually love people.
It's like confusing to them.
They think like because we believe in one saved, always saved,
we're just going to be a bunch of drug addicted adulterers
running around axe murdering people or something.
And it's like I guess that's what's in their heart.
Because if God said, hey, do whatever you want,
no consequences, that's what they would do.
But they're thinking like, well, I can only not do that
because I want to go to heaven or something.
But you know, you come to a church like ours
where we believe salvation is so free it costs us nothing
and it's all a bunch of separated people.
I mean, how many people are having Sunday night service right now
listening to guys yell at them for hours?
Talk about Matthew 25.
They would be bored after we read like three verses.
You guys, you're destroying people's lives by teaching salvation is free.
Well, I see a bunch of people
that are dedicating their lives to Jesus Christ.
And I see a bunch of people
that would actually feed someone if they actually needed it.
I see a bunch of people
that would actually clothe someone if they really needed it.
I see a bunch of people
that are actually not even from America,
a bunch of strangers here.
And many people in this church would actually house them
or clothe them or feed them
or take care of them and minister unto them.
I see a bunch of people here
that actually care about people if we went to prison
for preaching the Word of God.
You know, I guarantee a lot of these other liberal churches,
if someone in their church went to prison
for preaching something a little too hot,
they'd be afraid to go visit them.
You know what?
I think in the new IFB,
when and if or if it ever happens
that one of us gets in prison for preaching
or standing on the Word of God
or going soul-winding or something,
people are going to be visiting them like crazy
and caring about them and praying for them,
and there's going to be some onusiferous out there
that's not ashamed of their chain
and is going to still love on them.
You know what?
The unsaved, the left, will never visit you.
Kamala Harris will not visit you in prison, okay?
Bill and Melinda Gates will not visit you in prison.
These individuals will never do such a thing
because they're selfish and they're wicked,
and ultimately, the left are going to go to hell.
Let's close in prayer.
Thank you, Heavenly Father,
so much for giving us so much wisdom in the Bible
and giving us an opportunity to love one another.
I pray that you would help us not to get confused
about some of the more difficult passages in the Bible,
and I pray that you'd help motivate us
to love people even more
when we realize we're the only ones
that are going to love the saved.
I pray that you'd help us to have a genuine
and sincere desire to love even more people
and that when we see the saved in need,
that we wouldn't harden our hearts,
but rather, we would love them.
And in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
All right, in closing, let's go to song number 250.
Song number 250.
Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary.
Song number 250.
All right, sing it out in the first.
Days are filled with sorrow and care
Hearts are lonely and drear
Birds are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Birds are lifted at Calvary
Calvary, Calvary
Birds are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Cast your care on Jesus today
Leave your worry in fear
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Calvary, Calvary
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Trouble soars, the Savior can see
Every heartache and tear
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Calvary, Calvary
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near
Great singing, everybody. We're all dismissed.
