1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,800 Di Bible Way to Heaven 2 00:00:01,890 --> 00:00:06,609 Di bible really clear pon salvation. It no based pon how good yu be. Nuff 3 00:00:06,609 --> 00:00:09,480 people tink seh dem good, and dat dem a go heaven becaz 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,280 dem good but di Bible seh, “For all have sinned and come short of di 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,840 glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Di Bible seh, “As it is written, there is none righteous, 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,570 no, not one.” (Romans 3:10) Mi nuh righteous. Yu nuh righteous, and if a wi 7 00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:22,190 goodniss dat ago get we inna heaven, none a wi wudda go. 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,140 1. Admit yu a sinna. 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,890 Di bible even seh inna Revelation 21:8, “But di fearful and unbelieving, di abominable 10 00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:38,300 and murderers and sorcerers and whoremongers and idolaters, and all liars shall have their 11 00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:41,969 part inna di lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, weh a di second death.” Mi 12 00:00:41,969 --> 00:00:46,219 lie before. Everyone lie before, so all a wi a sinna, and wi do tings 13 00:00:46,219 --> 00:00:49,059 worser dan lying. Mek wi face it: wi all deserve fi go a hell. 14 00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:52,760 2. Realize di penalty fi sin. 15 00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:57,250 But di Bible seh, “But God commendeth his love toward wi, inna dat while we were yet 16 00:00:57,250 --> 00:01:03,079 sinnas, Christ dead fi wi.” (Romans 5:8) Jesus Christ, becaz him love wi, come 17 00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:07,970 to di earth. Di bible seh him a God manifest in di flesh. God basically tek on human 18 00:01:07,970 --> 00:01:13,070 form. Him live a sinless life. Him no commit no sin, and of course, Dem beat him, 19 00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:16,860 and spit pon him, and nail him pon di cross. The Bible seh dat when him did deh pon di cross 20 00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:21,979 him “himself bare wi sins inna him own bady pon di tree.” (1 Peter 2:24) So every sin 21 00:01:21,979 --> 00:01:24,880 yu eva do, and every sin mi eva do - Jesus been there and done dat. Dem 22 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,009 punish him fi wi sins. Den dem tek him bady when him dead, and bury 23 00:01:30,009 --> 00:01:35,149 it inna di tomb, and him soul go down a Hell fi three days and three nights (Acts 24 00:01:35,149 --> 00:01:41,210 2:31). Three days lata him rise again from di dead. Him show di disciples di 25 00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:46,520 holes inna him hands. Di Bible really clear dat Jesus did die fi everybady. It seh 26 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,229 dat him dead “not fi our sins only, but also fi di sins of di whole world” (1 27 00:01:51,229 --> 00:01:56,200 John 2:2). But there is sumtin dat wi must duh to be saved. Di bible has dat question 28 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,469 in Acts 16, “Weh mi affi duh fi get saved? And dem seh, “Believe inna di Lawd Jesus 29 00:02:01,469 --> 00:02:05,009 Christ, and wi will be saved, and thy house.” Dat is all. Him NEVA seh, “Join a church, 30 00:02:05,009 --> 00:02:09,039 and yu will be saved. Get baptized, and yu a go get saved. Live a good life, and yu will be 31 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:12,999 saved. Repent fi all a yu sins dem, and yu a go get saved, NO. Him seh “believe.” 32 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,120 3. Believe dat Jesus died, was buried, and rose again fi yu. 33 00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:24,560 Even di most famous verse in di whole Bible, who reference is written on di bottom of 34 00:02:24,569 --> 00:02:28,680 di cup at “In and Out Burger.” It so famous. Everybady hear dat: John 35 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,830 3:16. “For God so loved di wurl dat he gave him only begotten son dat whosoever 36 00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:40,150 believeth in him should not perish but have evalasting life.” And evalasting means 37 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:43,569 evalasting. It mean fi eva, and Jesus seh, “Mi give dem eternal life, and dem 38 00:02:43,569 --> 00:02:47,260 shall neva perish, needa shall any man pluck dem out a mi hand.” (John 10:28) 39 00:02:47,260 --> 00:02:52,159 Di Bible seh in John 6:47, “Verily, verily, Mi seh unto yu, who dat believe inna mi have 40 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:56,310 everlasting life.” So if yu believe inna Jesus Christ, di Bible seh yu have evalasting 41 00:02:56,310 --> 00:02:59,920 life. Yu a go live fi eva. Yu cyaan lose yu salvation. It a eternal, it a 42 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,659 everlasting. Once yu saved, once yu believe inna him, yu saved fi eva, and 43 00:03:03,659 --> 00:03:06,379 no matter wah, yu cyaan neva lose yu salvation. 44 00:03:06,379 --> 00:03:10,560 Even if mi fi go out and do some awful sin, God will punish mi fi it on dis earth. 45 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,319 If mi go out and kill sumbady tiday, God wudda mek sure dat mi get punish, mi 46 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:19,099 a go prison, or worse, or di death penalty. Howeva dis world punish mi, and 47 00:03:19,099 --> 00:03:22,739 God a go mek sure mi get punish even more, but mi nah go Hell. There is 48 00:03:22,739 --> 00:03:26,909 nuttin mi cyaan do to go a hell becaz mi save, and if mi go a hell, den God lied. 49 00:03:26,909 --> 00:03:31,920 Becaz him promise dat whoeva believeth has everlasting life, and him seh, “Whosoever 50 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,709 liveth and believeth inna mi shall neva die.” Dat a why yu have nuff examples of 51 00:03:35,709 --> 00:03:40,159 people inna di Bible who do sum really bad tings, yet dem mek it go Heaven. How? Becaz 52 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:43,409 dem did good? NO, it’s becaz dem believed inna di Lawd Jesus Christ. Dem sins 53 00:03:43,409 --> 00:03:48,580 are forgiven. Odda people who live a betta life inna di world’s yies, or maybe 54 00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:51,180 dem really even live a betta life, if dem nuh believe inna Christ, dem affi go 55 00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:53,180 a hell fi get punished fi dem sins. 56 00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:59,700 4. Trus Christ alone as yu saviour. 57 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,900 Mek mi jus close pon dis tout: one ting dat mi wah sure bout and bring up 58 00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:09,170 today is dat dere was a question dat weh ask to Jesus by one a him disciples, and 59 00:04:09,170 --> 00:04:14,390 dis a di question: are dere few dat be saved? Dat a one good question, right? 60 00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:20,590 Are most people saved? Or is jus a few dat saved? Who deh ya tink dat most people a 61 00:04:20,590 --> 00:04:24,130 go a heaven - dat most people inna dis world a go a heaven? Guess wah di 62 00:04:24,130 --> 00:04:32,630 ansa was: him seh, in Matthew 7, “Enta ye in at di strait gate becaz wide is di 63 00:04:32,630 --> 00:04:38,850 gate and broad is di way dat leadeth to destruction, and many there be weh dem go inna 64 00:04:38,850 --> 00:04:44,540 thereat becaz strait is di gate, and narrow a di way dat leadeth inna life, and nuff 65 00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:50,200 deh deh dat find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14) Den him seh dis: “Nuh everyone 66 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,270 dat sed unto me, Lawd, Lawd, shall enta di kingdom of heaven, but he dat doet di 67 00:04:55,270 --> 00:05:00,230 will of mi fada who deh inna heaven. Nuff a go seh to me pon dat day, Lawd, Lawd, have 68 00:05:00,230 --> 00:05:04,770 wi nuh prophesie in dy nyame, and inna dy nyame have cyast out di devils, and in dy nyame 69 00:05:04,770 --> 00:05:11,610 done nuff wondaful works? And den mi a go profess unto dem, Mi neva know yu, depart 70 00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:15,760 from mi ye dat wurk iniquity.” (Matthew 7:21-23) 71 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,660 Firse of all, Di majority a dis ya wirl nuh even believe inna Jesus. Thankfully 72 00:05:19,660 --> 00:05:23,840 di majority of dis classroom ya claim to believe in Jesus, but di majority a di wirl 73 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:29,220 nuh claim to believe inna Jesus. But God waan dat even among those who claim to believe 74 00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:37,160 inna Jesus, even among those dat call him Lawd, nuff a go seh to him, “Wi do all 75 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,090 dem wandaful wurk ya! Why wi nuh save!” Him a go seh, “Depart from mi, Mi nuh 76 00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:45,440 know yu.” Dat a becaz salvation a nuh by wurks, and if yu a trus yu 77 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,620 own wurk fi save yu, if yu tink seh yu a go a heaven becaz yu baptize, 78 00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:52,730 if yu tink, “Well, mi tink yu affi live a good life, mi tink yu affi keep 79 00:05:52,730 --> 00:05:55,870 di commandments fi be saved, mi tink yu affi go a church, mi tink yu affi 80 00:05:55,870 --> 00:06:00,780 turn from yu sins…” If yu trust inna yu wurks, Jesus a go seh to yu 81 00:06:00,780 --> 00:06:02,520 one day, “Depart from mi, mi nuh know yu.” 82 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,470 Yu affi have all a yu faith inna weh him duh. You affi put yu faith inna weh Jesus duh 83 00:06:06,470 --> 00:06:10,720 pon di cross when him dead fi yu, was buried, and rise again. Dat a yu ticket to 84 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,940 heaven. If yu trust odda tings, and yu seh, “Well, mi a go a heaven 85 00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:16,580 becaz mi a good Christian, and mi duh all these wandaful tings.” Him a go 86 00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:20,470 seh, “Depart from mi.” Notice wah him seh, “Depart from mi, mi NUH know yu.” 87 00:06:20,470 --> 00:06:24,120 Him nuh seh, “Mi used to know yu.” Once him know yu… rememba mi mentioned 88 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,580 dis earlia: it a everlasting its eternal. Once him know yu, yu a go save fi eva. 89 00:06:28,580 --> 00:06:34,460 Him a go seh, “Depart from mi, mi nuh know yu,” becaz if yu go a Hell, it 90 00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:38,960 a becaz him nuh know yu. Becaz once him know yu, him know yu. Juss as mi pickney 91 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,520 a go always be my pickney. When yu born again, when yu a him pickney, yu a go 92 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,150 always be him pickney. Yu may be di black sheep of di family.
