FROM D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES
THIS IS KENNEDY CLASSICS
♪
WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS
HELLO AND WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS.
I'M FRANK WRIGHT, PRESIDENT OF D. JAMES
KENNEDY MINISTRIES, WHERE WE ARE STANDING
FOR TRUTH AND DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOM.
I INVITE YOU TO VISIT OUR MINISTRY WEBSITE WHERE YOU
CAN DISCOVER ALL KINDS OF GREAT DIGITAL, AUDIO,
VIDEO, AND PRINT RESOURCES.
IT'S ALL AVAILABLE AT DJKM.ORG.
YOU'VE HEARD IT SAID THAT HINDSIGHT IS 20/20.
IT'S A POPULAR PHRASE USED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT
LOOKING BACK AT A SITUATION AFTER THE FACT
USUALLY GIVES YOU MUCH MORE CLARITY ABOUT WHAT
WAS REALLY GOING ON AT THE TIME.
IT'S A SHAME THAT TODAY MANY PEOPLE WON'T USE
HINDSIGHT TO LOOK BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF HUMAN
HISTORY, TO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS THAT
EVER TOOK PLACE, THE FALL OF MANKIND.
AS CHRISTIANS, WE UNDERSTAND THAT MAN IS
FALLEN, AND SINFUL; THAT REALIZATION IS PARTLY WHY
WE ENDEAVOR TO TURN AWAY FROM OUR WICKED WAYS AND
REPENT OF OUR SINS.
BUT THE UNBELIEVING WORLD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE
FALL OF MAN; INSTEAD, THEY MAKE THE CLAIM THAT MAN IS
BASICALLY GOOD.
SOCIALISM AND A NUMBER OF OTHER SOCIAL SCHEMES ARE
BASED UPON THAT VERY PREMISE.
BUT IF THEY'RE RIGHT, WHY DOES THE WORLD LOOK THE
WAY IT DOES?
AND WHY DOES SOCIALISM FALL APART SO EASILY?
WHY IS A FALSE VIEW OF HUMAN NATURE ULTIMATELY
HARMFUL?
DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY TAKES A LOOK AT THOSE
VITAL QUESTIONS IN HIS MESSAGE,
"WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?"
NOW MAY WE TURN TO THE WORD OF GOD AS IT'S FOUND
IN THE SECOND AND THIRD CHAPTERS OF THE BOOK OF
GENESIS.
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 16.
THIS IS WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AMONG THEOLOGIANS AS
THE COVENANT OF WORKS.
MAY WE HEAR THE INSPIRED WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.
2:16 OF GENESIS.
AND MAY GOD SPEAK TO US TODAY THROUGH THIS HIS
HOLY WORD AND MAY HIS NAME EVERMORE BE PRAISED AMEN.
IF I WERE TO ASK YOU TODAY, WHAT WERE THE TWO
MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THIS WORLD,
I WONDER WHAT YOU'D SAY.
WELL I AM SURE SOME MIGHT SAY THE DISCOVERY OF FIRE,
THE INVENTION OF THE WHEEL, THE DISCOVERY OF
ELECTRICITY OR ATOMIC ENERGY, THE NORMAN
CONQUEST OF ENGLAND, THE CROSSING OF THE RUBICON,
THE DROPPING OF THE ATOMIC BOMB,
THE INVENTION OF FLIGHT.
MANY THINGS WOULD CERTAINLY COME TO MIND,
BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT
EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD ARE THOSE
DESCRIBED BY PAUL IN THE 5TH CHAPTER OF ROMANS: THE
FALL OF MANKIND INTO SIN THROUGH ADAM, AND HIS
REDEMPTION THROUGH THE SECOND ADAM, JESUS CHRIST.
THESE WERE FAR AND AWAY THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS
IN HISTORY.
WE ARE LOOKING TODAY AT OUR ROOTS- AT THE ORIGINAL
PARENTS OF THE HUMAN RACE.
AS DEVASTATING AS THE ATOM BOMB WAS, IT PALES INTO
INSIGNIFICANCE COMPARED TO THE ADAM BOMB THAT
EXPLODED AT THE EPICENTER OF THIS WORLD- THE GARDEN
OF EDEN- MANY CENTURIES AGO, BECAUSE FROM THAT
EXPLOSION THERE HAS RESULTED THE DEATHS OF
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
IN FACT, THE DEATHS OF ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVER DIED,
BECAUSE IT WAS THROUGH SIN THAT DEATH ENTERED INTO
THE WORLD.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS BIBLICAL STORY OF ADAM AND
EVE.
THERE ARE CERTAINLY THOSE THAT HAVE DENIED IT AND
WHO HAVE, INDEED, WISHED THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY.
OTHERS WHO HAVE BLATANTLY SAID THAT THEY HAVE
DISPROVED IT.
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
WELL RICHARD BOZARTH, AN ATHEIST, WRITING IN THE
AMERICAN ATHEIST, TELLS VERY CLEARLY FROM THEIR
PERSPECTIVE WHY THEY FEEL IT IS SO IMPORTANT:
"CHRISTIANITY HAS FOUGHT, STILL FIGHTS, AND WILL
FIGHT SCIENCE; I WOULD SAY IT IS NOT SCIENCE.
WE REJOICE IN THAT.
IT IS A PSEUDO-SCIENCE THAT WE WOULD FIGHT.
TO THE DESPERATE END OVER EVOLUTION, BECAUSE
EVOLUTION DESTROYS UTTERLY AND FINALLY THE VERY
REASON JESUS' EARTHLY LIFE WAS SUPPOSEDLY MADE
NECESSARY.
DESTROY ADAM AND EVE AND THE ORIGINAL SIN, AND IN
THE RUBBLE YOU WILL FIND THE SORRY REMAINS OF THE
SON OF GOD.
YOU TAKE AWAY THE MEANING OF HIS DEATH.
IF JESUS WAS NOT THE REDEEMER WHO DIED FOR OUR
SINS, AND THIS IS WHAT EVOLUTION MEANS HE SAYS,
THAT JESUS IS NOT THE REDEEMER WHO DIED FOR OUR
SINS.
THEN HE CONTINUES CHRISTIANITY IS NOTHING.
WHAT IS THE RESULT OF THAT FALL INTO SIN THAT WE
READ ABOUT TODAY?
LET ME LET YOU HEAR IT, FIRST FROM A GODLY
CHRISTIAN, AND SECONDLY FROM A VERY BRILLIANT
ATHEIST.
MATTHEW HENRY, THE GODLY COMMENTATOR ON THE BIBLE,
SAID: NOW WHEN IT WAS TOO LATE, THEY SAW THE FOLLY
OF EATING FORBIDDEN FRUIT.
THEY SAW THE HAPPINESS THEY HAD FALLEN FROM, AND
THE MISERY THEY HAD FALLEN INTO.
THEY SAW A LOVING GOD PROVOKED, HIS GRACE AND
FAVOR FORFEITED, HIS LIKENESS AND IMAGE LOST,
DOMINION OVER THE CREATURE GONE.
THEY SAW THEIR NATURES CORRUPTED AND DEPRAVED,
AND FELT A DISORDER WITHIN THEIR OWN SPIRITS OF WHICH
THEY HAD NEVER BEFORE BEEN CONSCIOUS.
THEY SAW A LAW IN THEIR MEMBERS WARRING AGAINST
THE LAW OF THEIR MIND, AND CAPTIVATING THEM BOTH TO
SIN AND WRATH.
THEY SAW THEIR DIGNITY DISGRACED IN THE HIGHEST
DEGREE, LAID OPEN TO THE CONTEMPT AND REPROACH OF
HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND TO THEIR OWN CONSCIENCES.
THIS WAS THE EFFECT OF THE FALL AS PERCEIVED BY A
GODLY CHRISTIAN MINISTER.
BUT LISTEN TO IT FROM THE PEN OF A BRILLIANT
ATHEIST, SKEPTIC, PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY,
A WRITER ON SCIENCE.
I AM TALKING ABOUT C.E.M. JOAD, ONE OF THE LEADING
SKEPTICS OF ENGLAND IN THIS CENTURY, ONE OF THE
MOST BRILLIANT WRITERS OF OUR TIME, WHO, IN HIS
LATTER DAYS, SAW THE UTTER FOLLY OF UNBELIEF AND
ITS UTTER FAILURE, AND EMBRACED CHRIST.
BUT LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
BETTER WHAT HAS HAPPENED- WHERE THE WORLD HAS GONE
WRONG: IT IS BECAUSE WE REJECTED THE DOCTRINE OF
ORIGINAL SIN THAT WE ON THE LEFT WERE ALWAYS BEING
DISAPPOINTED; DISAPPOINTED BY THE REFUSAL OF PEOPLE
TO BE REASONABLE, DISAPPOINTED BY THE
SUBSERVIENCE OF INTELLECT TO EMOTION, DISAPPOINTED
BY THE FAILURE OF TRUE SOCIALISM TO ARRIVE,
DISAPPOINTED BY THE BEHAVIOR OF NATIONS AND
POLITICIANS, BY THE MASSES' PREFERENCE FOR
HOLLYWOOD TO SHAKESPEARE AND FOR MR. SINATRA TO
BEETHOVEN; AND ABOVE ALL, DISAPPOINTED BY THE
RECURRENT FACT OF WAR.
H.G. WELLS, AS SO MANY AT THE END OF THE LAST CENTURY,
WHICH WAS A TIME OF INCREDIBLE OPTIMISM FOR
THE WORLD, WROTE SOME OF THE MOST GLORIOUS
OPTIMISTIC PROSE IMAGINABLE ABOUT WHAT WAS
GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT THEN THERE WAS THE 1ST WORLD WAR AND THEN THE
2ND, AND H.G. WELLS WAS GREATLY SOBERED BY THAT.
THOUGH AN UNBELIEVER, HE SAID: IN SPITE OF ALL OF
MY DISPOSITION TO A BRAVE-LOOKING OPTIMISM, I
PERCEIVE THAT NOW THE UNIVERSE IS BORED WITH
MAN, IS TURNING A HARD FACE TOWARD HIM, AND I SEE
HIM BEING CARRIED LESS AND LESS INTELLIGENTLY AND
MORE AND MORE RAPIDLY ALONG THE STREAM OF FATE
TO DEGRADATION, SUFFERING AND DEATH.
AND YOU CERTAINLY CAN SEE THAT ALL AROUND US TODAY
IN OUR TIME, AND IT ALL BEGAN WITH A COVENANT- AN
AGREEMENT- BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, WHERE GOD DREW A LINE
AND SAID HE WAS THE CREATOR.
HE WAS GOD AND MAN WAS THE CREATURE; MAN WAS BUT A
HUMAN BEING AND THERE MUST BE A LINE DRAWN.
SO HE SAID, YOU MAY EAT FREELY OF ALL OF THE TREES
OF THE GARDEN BUT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF
GOOD AND EVIL, THOU SHALT NOT EAT THEREOF, LEST YE
DIE.
THEN IN THAT GREAT DECISIVE THIRD CHAPTER OF
GENESIS, SATAN CAME TO THE WOMAN AND SAID, "YEA,
HATH GOD SAID YE SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE
GARDEN."
SO THE FIRST THING THAT HE DID WAS TO BEGIN TO
INSINUATE DOUBT CONCERNING THE WORD OF GOD.
"YEA, HATH GOD SAID," AND SO HIS FOLLOWERS DOWN
THROUGH THE CENTURIES HAVE DONE THE SAME, AND THEY
CONTINUE TO DO SO TODAY.
"OH, IS THIS REALLY THE WORD OF GOD?"
AND THEN THE WOMAN MAKES A BLUNDER OF HER OWN.
SHE BEGINS BY ATTEMPTING TO DEFEND GOD: "OH, WE MAY
EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREES OF THE GARDEN, BUT
OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF
THE GARDEN, GOD HATH SAID, 'YE SHALL NOT EAT OF IT,
NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT, LEST YE DIE.'"
NOW GOD DIDN'T SAY THAT.
HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT TOUCHING IT, AND SO SHE
ADDED ON TO THE WORD OF GOD.
AND SO THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
ADDING TO THE WORD OF GOD EVER SINCE.
THEY ADD THE TRADITIONS OF MEN, THEY ADD THE BOOK OF
MORMON, THEY ADD THE WRITINGS OF MARY BAKER
EDDY, OR THE BROOKLYN ORGANIZATION FOR THE
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.
"OH, YES, WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE TO BE THE WORD OF
GOD" PLUS THIS OR THAT OR THE OTHER THING, AND SO
THIS IS ANOTHER WAY TO BURY THE WORD OF GOD-
BY ADDITION, NOT BY DETRACTION.
AND THEN, SEEING THAT HE IS MAKING PROGRESS, HE
COMES OUT WITH A BLATANT DENIAL.
SHE SAYS THAT "WE ARE NOT TO EAT OR TOUCH IT, LEST
WE DIE," AND THEN HE SAYS, "YOU SHALL NOT SURELY
DIE."
I CAN JUST IMAGINE HIM LAUGHING WHEN HE SAYS,
"WHERE DID YOU GET AN IDEA LIKE THAT?
YOU SHALL NOT SURELY DIE."
SO TODAY WE HAVE MANY PEOPLE BLATANTLY DENYING
THAT THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD, WHATSOEVER.
OR THEY SAY, "THERE'S NO SUCH PLACE AS HELL.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?
IT'S BEEN DISPROVED."
NOW THAT IS FASCINATING.
I JUST WONDER HOW ALL THESE PEOPLE LEARNED THAT.
I HAVE NEVER DISCOVERED THAT.
DID THEY GO THERE AND SEE A SIGN THAT SAID, "CLOSED,
OUT OF BUSINESS"?
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE SLIGHTEST EVIDENCE, NOT
ONE SCINTILLA OF EVIDENCE THAT HELL NO LONGER
EXISTS, BUT THE BLATANT DENIAL STILL GOES ON.
"YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE."
THEN HE MOVES FROM DENIAL TO SLANDER: "FOR GOD DOTH
KNOW THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT THEREOF, THAT YOUR
EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE AS GODS,
KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL."
YOU SEE, THE REASON THAT GOD GAVE YOU ALL OF THESE
COMMANDMENTS IS BECAUSE GOD IS JEALOUS.
GOD IS NARROW.
IF YOU EAT THIS YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD AND HE DOESN'T
WANT THAT.
SO, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID, "OH, ALL OF THESE
COMMANDMENTS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO US THEY'RE
BECAUSE GOD IS TRYING TO KEEP US FROM REALLY
ENJOYING LIFE.
GOD DOESN'T WANT US TO HAVE FUN.
NOT REALIZING THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF A LOVING GOD
WHO KNOWS THAT WE WILL BRING SUFFERING AND MISERY
UPON OURSELVES IF WE BREAK THEM, WANTS TO SAVE US
FROM THOSE THINGS.
WE BREAK THE LAW TWO BY TWO, BUT WE SUFFER ONE BY
ONE, AS MANY HAVE DISCOVERED TO THEIR OWN
GREAT, GREAT SORROW.
GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE.
BUT SATAN WOULD PORTRAY HIM AS A NARROW, JEALOUS
GOD WHO DOESN'T WANT THEM TO ENJOY LIFE.
HERE THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALL MANNER OF FREEDOM, BUT
THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED.
SHE IS NOT SATISFIED UNLESS SHE CAN HAVE
ABSOLUTE FREEDOM, TOTAL LICENSE.
ALSO, WE SEE HERE THAT SATAN HOLDS BEFORE HER THE
PROSPECT THAT SHE SHALL BECOME LIKE GOD.
HERE IS THIS ANCIENT IDEA, WHICH IS REVIVED AGAIN IN
OUR TIME, THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THE NEW AGE.
WHEN YOU BOIL IT ALL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM LINE, YOU
FIND THAT THE ESSENCE OF NEW AGEISM IS THAT YOU CAN
BECOME GOD.
THAT IS WHAT ALL OF THESE NEW AGE WRITERS ARE
PROCLAIMING TODAY.
"YOU CAN BE AUTONOMOUS.
YOU CAN BE A LAW UNTO YOURSELF."
GOING ALL THE WAY BACK, EVEN AS THE HUMANISTS DID
TO PROTAGORAS, WHO SAID THAT MAN IS THE MEASURE OF
ALL THINGS.
MAN WILL DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG.
MAN WILL DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS EVIL,
WHAT IS OF VALUE AND WHAT IS NOT OF VALUE.
MAN WILL BE GOD.
SO SATAN IS STILL DANGLING THAT BEFORE THE
EYES AND MINDS OF MEN.
IT IS A LIE.
IT WAS A LIE THEN; IT IS A LIE NOW, BUT THEY TOOK
SHE TOOK AND SHE ATE AND SHE GAVE TO HER HUSBAND AND HE
ATE AND THEY DIED.
THOUGH THEY DIED PHYSICALLY HUNDREDS OF
YEARS LATER, BUT SPIRITUALLY THEY DIED THAT
VERY HOUR, AND THERE WAS A CORRUPTION THAT BEGAN TO
TAKE PLACE IN THEIR LIVES.
GOD PRONOUNCED A CURSE UPON THEM AND UPON THE
WORLD.
"CURSED IS THE GROUND FOR THY SAKE," HE SAID TO ADAM.
WE HAVE SEEN THE INCREDIBLE IMPACT OF THAT
CURSE UPON THE WORLD.
WE HAVE SEEN HOW IT AFFECTS SOCIETY, BECAUSE
OF THE FACT THAT MEN HAVE NOT BELIEVED THIS.
AS JOAD SAID: THEY HAVE REJECTED THE DOCTRINE OF
ORIGINAL SIN, AND THEY HAVE BASED ALL OF THEIR
INSTITUTIONS.
EVERY UNGODLY INSTITUTION IN THE LAST 100 YEARS HAS
BEEN BASED ON THE IDEA THAT MAN IS GOOD AND NOT
SINFUL.
WE SEE THAT COMMUNISM IS BASED UPON THE IDEA THAT
MAN WAS BASICALLY GOOD AND PERFECTIBLE AND THEY WERE
GOING TO BRING ABOUT AN EARTHLY UTOPIA, AND IT
COLLAPSED.
WHY DID IT COLLAPSE?
WAS IT BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC REASONS?
THAT WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT.
WAS IT BECAUSE OF POLITICAL REASON?
VERY SIGNIFICANT.
BUT ULTIMATELY, BEYOND EITHER OF THOSE, IT WAS A
THEOLOGICAL REASON.
IT WAS BASED UPON A LIE.
BECAUSE MAN IS A FALLEN CREATURE.
HE IS A SINFUL CREATURE.
WE HAVE HAD EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS WHICH HAVE
PRODUCED ALL KINDS OF DISASTER.
WE HAVE SAID THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO TEACH THEM
FACTS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE THEM INFORMATION.
WE ARE GOING TO BRING OUT OF THEM WHAT IS INSIDE OF
THEM.
BUT JESUS TOLD US WHAT IS INSIDE OF THEM: "FOR OUT
OF THE HEART PROCEEDETH ALL MANNER OF EVIL, ADULTERY,
FORNICATION, MURDER AND THEFT," (MATTHEW 15:19)
AND ON AND ON HE WENT.
WE HAVE TRIED TO BASE ONE INSTITUTION AFTER ANOTHER
ON THE BIBLICAL ERROR, THE FALSE TEACHING, THAT MAN
IS ESSENTIALLY GOOD.
CONSEQUENTLY, MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
HAVE SUFFERED AND DIED AS A RESULT.
WE SEE, AGAIN, TODAY IN OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION
SYSTEM AS A WHOLE, IT'S BASED UPON A FALSE IDEA
AND, THEREFORE, IT IS FAILING BADLY IN OUR TIME.
SO WHETHER THEY ARE POLITICAL OR EDUCATIONAL
OR SOCIAL SYSTEMS, IF THEY ARE ANTI-CHRISTIAN, THEY
ARE BASED UPON THIS LIE.
TRAGICALLY, AS MANY AS 80% OF THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA,
IN A RECENT SURVEY, SAID THAT THEY AGREED WITH THE
STATEMENT MAN IS BASICALLY GOOD.
MY FRIENDS, THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THAT
HERESY ARE INCONCEIVABLE.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE
OF SYSTEMS BASED UPON THAT ERRONEOUS CONCLUSION.
WHY DO WE HAVE THE CONSTITUTION THAT WE HAVE?
BECAUSE THE FOUNDING FATHERS KNEW BETTER.
THEY KNEW THAT MAN WAS BASICALLY SINFUL, THAT
POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS
ABSOLUTELY.
THAT IS PRECISELY WHY THEY TELL US THEY DIVIDED THE
GOVERNMENT INTO 3 DIFFERENT BRANCHES.
THAT IS PRECISELY WHY THEY GAVE IT SELECT AND FEW AND
ENUMERATED POWERS AND RESERVED ALL THE REST TO
THE STATES AND THE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO
PROTECT MANKIND FROM MANKIND.
BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT MAN WAS BASICALLY EVIL AND
GIVEN TOO MUCH POWER, YOU WOULD HAVE TYRANNY.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO FOOLISH IN OUR TIME TO
LOSE SIGHT OF THAT, AND WE HAVE SEEN INCREDIBLE
MALIGNANT CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT.
BUT THANK GOD HE DIDN'T LEAVE US HERE.
HE GAVE US A PROMISE.
IT IS FOUND IN THE 15TH VERSE OF THE 3RD CHAPTER.
IT IS CALLED THE PROTOEVANGELIUM, THE FIRST
GOSPEL, THE FIRST GOOD NEWS, AND THAT IS THAT THE
SEED OF THE WOMAN WOULD DESTROY THE HEAD OF THE
SEED OF THE SERPENT, THAT THERE WOULD BE A SEED OF
THE WOMAN WHICH IS CHRIST, THE ONLY ONE EVER CALLED
THE "SEED OF A WOMAN," WHO WOULD COME INTO THE WORLD
AND DESTROY THE WORKS OF SATAN, WHICH CHRIST DID
UPON THE CROSS.
YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE BIBLE CAN BE DESCRIBED IN JUST
THREE WORDS: GENERATION, DEGENERATION,
REGENERATION.
GENERATION IN CHAPTERS ONE AND TWO OF GENESIS;
DEGENERATION IN CHAPTER THREE, AND REGENERATION IS
THE STORY OF ALL THE REST OF THE BIBLE.
BUT IF WE DON'T GET CHAPTER THREE RIGHT, WE
WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE REST OF SCRIPTURE.
WE ARE CREATURES, NOT GODS.
WE ARE TO OBEY THE LAW OF GOD; WE ARE NOT
AUTONOMOUS.
WE ARE TO DO WHAT GOD HAS COMMANDED US TO DO.
WE ARE TO SEEK TO BE CLOTHED IN HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
WE ARE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR SIN INSTEAD OF BLAMING
OTHERS, AS ADAM AND EVE BOTH DID, FOR INEVITABLY
FOLLOWING SHAME THERE COMES BLAME.
AND WE ARE TO TRUST IN THE GRACIOUSNESS OF GOD WHO
PROVIDED THAT SEED OF THE WOMAN WHO DESTROYED THE
HEAD OF THE SERPENT.
THE SECOND GREATEST FACT IN HISTORY IS THAT CHRIST
CAME AND REDEEMED MAN FROM THE EFFECTS OF SIN AND
FROM THE DOMINION OF DEATH.
I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT
REDEMPTION.
IF NOT, I URGE YOU THIS DAY TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN
CHRIST, TO REST UPON HIM ALONE FOR YOUR SALVATION,
TO RECEIVE HIM AS SAVIOR AND LORD, TO TRUST IN HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE.
RECEIVE HIM.
TRUST IN HIM.
BE CLOTHED IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND YOU
WILL REJOICE WITH HIM FOREVERMORE.
MAY WE PRAY OUR GRACIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER, HOW GREAT
THOU ART.
HOW GREAT THOU ART, AND HOW GRACIOUS THOU ART UNTO
THE SONS OF MAN.
WE THANK YOU THAT YOU DID NOT ABANDON US, THEN, BUT
SENT YOUR ONLY SON.
LORD, I PRAY THAT IF THERE ARE THOSE HERE THAT DO NOT
HAVE THE ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHO DO NOT
KNOW BEYOND ANY PERADVENTURE OF A DOUBT
THAT WHEN THEY LEAVE THIS WORLD THEY WILL GO TO BE
WITH YOU FOREVER.
THOSE THAT ARE TRUSTING IN THEIR OWN STRIVINGS AND IN
THEIR OWN GOODNESS, MAY THEY SEE THAT THEY ARE IN
ADAM FALLEN AND SINFUL CREATURES, AND MAY THEY
TURN AND SEEK THY MERCY, SAYING: "LORD JESUS
CHRIST, COME INTO MY HEART RIGHT NOW.
CLOTHE ME WITH THY RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
MAKE ME THINE OWN.
IN THY NAME."
AMEN
IF YOU JUST PRAYED THAT PRAYER, WE HAVE A SPECIAL
GIFT FOR YOU.
IT'S THE BOOK WRITTEN BY DR. KENNEDY FOR NEW
BELIEVERS.
IT'S CALLED BEGINNING AGAIN, WHICH IS PRECISELY
WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
AS YOU READ THESE PAGES AND PUT THEM INTO
PRACTICE, YOU'LL BEGIN TO GROW IN YOUR NEW FAITH.
SO DON'T MISS OUT ON RECEIVING YOUR COPY OF
BEGINNING AGAIN.
SIMPLY WRITE TO OUR ADDRESS OR CALL OUR
TOLL-FREE NUMBER.
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU DO.
AS DR. KENNEDY EXPLAINED IN HIS MESSAGE, THE FALL
OF MAN WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS IN ALL OF
HUMAN HISTORY.
PEOPLE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN THE ORIGINAL SIN OF MAN
WILL NEVER TRULY UNDERSTAND THE STATE OF
HUMANITY TODAY.
MAN IS INHERENTLY EVIL AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE THE
OPPOSITE- THAT MAN IS BASICALLY GOOD- WILL
CONTINUALLY BE DISAPPOINTED BY THE
SHORTCOMINGS OF THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
AND THEY WILL ADVOCATE POLITICAL POLICIES THAT
ARE OUT OF STEP WITH REALITY, ULTIMATELY DOING
MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
HOWEVER, REALIZING OUR SIN NATURE AND OUR NEED FOR
SALVATION IS THE FIRST STEP TO BEING REDEEMED
THROUGH THE WORK OF JESUS.
OUR LIVES AND OUR SALVATION ARE THE
WONDERFUL FREE GIFT FROM GOD, AND WE SHOULD
UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AS HE ACTUALLY MADE IT, RATHER
THAN AS WE MERELY WISH IT TO BE.
WE'VE RECENTLY PRODUCED A WONDERFUL NEW BOOK CALLED,
"MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT: DISCOVER GOD'S PLAN FOR
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE."
THIS BOOK HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND THE TRUE
PURPOSE THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE,
