00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.630
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.630 --> 00:00:07.740
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:10.950
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:14.520
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:16.470
uncertain times.
6
00:00:16.470 --> 00:00:19.800
And doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.210
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:25.800
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.560
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:31.830
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:35.700
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.190 --> 00:00:39.450
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:41.340
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.340
and today we're gonna continue
the series called The Sin
15
00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:49.340
of Achan, avoiding Sin
that Forfeit Victory.
16
00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:52.260
And here on this set,
I have this very Middle
17
00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:53.610
Eastern looking garment.
18
00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:56.070
It's actually a headdress from a nomadic
19
00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:57.720
tribe in the Middle East.
20
00:00:57.720 --> 00:00:59.880
And the Bible tells us that
21
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.970
before the children of Israel
went into fight in Jericho,
22
00:01:02.970 --> 00:01:07.260
God told them not to take
of the accursed thing.
23
00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:10.530
Well, the accursed thing would've
been any garment like this
24
00:01:10.530 --> 00:01:12.300
or gold or silver.
25
00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:15.690
But there was one man among
Israel whose name was Achan.
26
00:01:15.690 --> 00:01:19.200
An Achan saw a garment that
he just couldn't resist.
27
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.890
In fact, the Bible says
he saw it, he coveted it,
28
00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:24.450
and he said, Hey, I'm gonna take it.
29
00:01:24.450 --> 00:01:26.010
And he took it home with him,
30
00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:29.250
secretly dug a hole in his tent,
31
00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:32.910
hid it there he was hiding it in his tent.
32
00:01:32.910 --> 00:01:36.270
But my friends, he could
not hide it from the Lord.
33
00:01:36.270 --> 00:01:38.940
And when Israel went out
to fight the next battle,
34
00:01:38.940 --> 00:01:42.090
which they should have
easily won, they lost
35
00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:43.620
and they lost terribly.
36
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:47.130
In fact, they fled and their
hearts melted like water.
37
00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:50.190
They were panic stricken and in terror.
38
00:01:50.190 --> 00:01:54.210
And they called out to God and
said, why has this happened?
39
00:01:54.210 --> 00:01:57.750
And God answered and said
to Joshua, Israel has sinned
40
00:01:57.750 --> 00:02:00.960
and has also transgressed by covenant.
41
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:05.960
Something had taken place,
which opened a door for sin
42
00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:08.250
and defeat to come into the camp.
43
00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:11.940
It was God's plan for
them to walk in victory.
44
00:02:11.940 --> 00:02:14.100
And I want to tell you that
it's God's plan for you
45
00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:15.210
to walk in victory.
46
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:19.140
But if you are intentionally
doing something wrong
47
00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:21.660
or allowing something
wrong to go on in your life
48
00:02:21.660 --> 00:02:26.100
and you know that it is wrong, my friends,
49
00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:28.560
you can quote all day long, greater as he
50
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.870
that's in me than Heath
that's in the world.
51
00:02:30.870 --> 00:02:33.240
But if you've got something
intentionally going on
52
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:34.830
that you're permitting to happen
53
00:02:34.830 --> 00:02:36.480
and God's telling you to stop it
54
00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:38.190
and you're not stopping it,
55
00:02:38.190 --> 00:02:40.470
then you're the one
opening the door for defeat
56
00:02:40.470 --> 00:02:42.900
and you've gotta close the door.
57
00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:45.030
And today we're gonna be
seeing what is the difference
58
00:02:45.030 --> 00:02:47.760
between a sin and a trespass
59
00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:51.030
because God identifies
these as different things.
60
00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:53.970
So what's a sin and what is a trespass?
61
00:02:53.970 --> 00:02:58.020
Well, my job is to bring you teaching you can trust.
62
00:02:58.020 --> 00:03:00.640
And my friends, I want you
to understand the difference
63
00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:03.190
between a sin and a trespass.
64
00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:05.773
But please order the series which is called,
65
00:03:05.773 --> 00:03:07.264
The Sin of Achan -
66
00:03:07.264 --> 00:03:10.210
Avoiding Sin that forfeits Victory: comes
67
00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:12.280
with a wonderful study guide.
68
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.500
And right now we're offering you my book,
69
00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.410
which is called, The Will of God, The Key to your Success.
70
00:03:17.410 --> 00:03:21.100
And every day this week, I'm
offering you my little book,
71
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:23.980
which is called, Repentance - What it Is,
72
00:03:23.980 --> 00:03:25.960
What It Isn't, and How to Do It.
73
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.160
I want you to have this
74
00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:28.870
because I want you to understand
75
00:03:28.870 --> 00:03:32.950
what the Bible really
says about repentance.
76
00:03:32.950 --> 00:03:34.720
Hey, but we also wanna pray for you.
77
00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:38.170
So please send us your
email or give us a call
78
00:03:38.170 --> 00:03:40.390
and we'll begin to pray for you.
79
00:03:40.390 --> 00:03:43.300
But before I get into the
teaching, I quickly want
80
00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:44.740
to share two testimonies.
81
00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:48.010
Yesterday I shared two
testimonies from prisoners.
82
00:03:48.010 --> 00:03:50.680
Today I want to share
one more. Listen to this.
83
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.930
Dear Rick, I'm a believer in Jesus Christ,
84
00:03:52.930 --> 00:03:56.770
a disciple who's seeking to
walk worthy of his calling.
85
00:03:56.770 --> 00:03:57.880
Because of some poor
86
00:03:57.880 --> 00:04:01.720
and foolish choices, I'm suffering the consequences -
87
00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:04.090
incarceration. Your book, Dressed
88
00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:07.810
to Kill, is a most useful tool to help me get on track,
89
00:04:07.810 --> 00:04:10.930
to walk the narrow road of
wisdom and righteousness.
90
00:04:10.930 --> 00:04:12.130
The precious truths
91
00:04:12.130 --> 00:04:15.520
and insight into being an
effective spiritual warrior in
92
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.130
God's kingdom are giving me understanding
93
00:04:18.130 --> 00:04:20.320
for the current environment I'm in
94
00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:22.990
and for my life going forward.
95
00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:26.950
Thank you very much for your
labor and for your service:
96
00:04:26.950 --> 00:04:31.420
peace and blessings. That is amazing
97
00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:35.740
that God would use my books to touch someone in prison.
98
00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:37.540
But here's another testimony.
99
00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:39.700
One woman said, please relate to Rick
100
00:04:39.700 --> 00:04:42.100
that we watch him every day.
101
00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:44.080
He's been the biggest blessing.
102
00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:47.560
My husband would never go to
a church to hear a preacher,
103
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.800
but I told him that Rick
was raised a lot like him
104
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.630
and he agreed to hear Rick.
105
00:04:52.630 --> 00:04:55.780
Now, she records Rick
during the day for she
106
00:04:55.780 --> 00:04:59.440
and her husband to listen
together later in the day.
107
00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:01.030
That is amazing.
108
00:05:01.030 --> 00:05:03.370
And I'm just honored that
you would want to record
109
00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:04.600
what I teach and
110
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.690
that you would share it together - but reach for your Bible.
111
00:05:07.690 --> 00:05:09.760
And today we're gonna turn to the subject,
112
00:05:09.760 --> 00:05:13.420
What is the difference between a sin and a trespass?
113
00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:16.420
But let's go back to Joshua 7:10.
114
00:05:16.420 --> 00:05:20.260
The people of Israel have been
defeated in the battle of AI.
115
00:05:20.260 --> 00:05:22.570
And Joshua was calling
out to God saying, God,
116
00:05:22.570 --> 00:05:23.620
what has happened?
117
00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:25.660
Why have we been defeated?
118
00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:28.480
And in Joshua 7:10, the Lord said it
119
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.700
to Joshua, get thee up.
120
00:05:30.700 --> 00:05:33.580
Wherefore liest thou upon thy face.
121
00:05:33.580 --> 00:05:35.410
And you know, sometimes
the Lord says that,
122
00:05:35.410 --> 00:05:36.850
get off your face.
123
00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:39.640
Come on crying is not gonna change this.
124
00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:41.470
You need to take action.
125
00:05:41.470 --> 00:05:46.270
And then when you come to verse 11, God says, Israel has sin
126
00:05:46.270 --> 00:05:48.730
and they have also transgressed.
127
00:05:49.750 --> 00:05:52.660
So God lists these like
they're separate things.
128
00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:56.710
Israel has sinned and they
have also transgressed.
129
00:05:56.710 --> 00:05:59.960
So there must be a
difference between a sin
130
00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:01.850
and a transgression.
131
00:06:01.850 --> 00:06:04.940
What is a sin? Let's begin there.
132
00:06:04.940 --> 00:06:07.730
Well, I want to give you the Greek word, hamartia,
133
00:06:07.730 --> 00:06:09.260
and I'm gonna read to you from my notes.
134
00:06:09.260 --> 00:06:13.100
The word sin, the Greek word, hamartia means: to error
135
00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:14.660
or to miss the mark.
136
00:06:14.660 --> 00:06:18.920
It pictures of fault failure and thus a sinful deed.
137
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:23.660
Such an act may be intentional or unintentional. Primarily,
138
00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:27.950
this word was used to denote sin which is a moral failing.
139
00:06:27.950 --> 00:06:30.410
It was associated with archery
140
00:06:30.410 --> 00:06:33.950
to denote when an archery
would fail to hit the target.
141
00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:36.710
But in the Greek and Roman world, it was linked
142
00:06:36.710 --> 00:06:40.220
to missing a target or failing to achieve a goal.
143
00:06:40.220 --> 00:06:42.920
It represented either an intentional act
144
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.410 line:15%
or the misdeed is sinful,
145
00:06:45.410 --> 00:06:47.750
it could have been carried out ignorantly,
146
00:06:47.750 --> 00:06:49.850
but nevertheless, it does not change
147
00:06:49.850 --> 00:06:51.530
its sinful nature.
148
00:06:51.530 --> 00:06:54.110
This word was adopted
by New Testament writers
149
00:06:54.110 --> 00:06:55.610
to describe the spiritual
150
00:06:55.610 --> 00:06:59.960
and moral failures of humanity
due to breaking God's law.
151
00:06:59.960 --> 00:07:02.810
And there are 173 occurrences
152
00:07:02.810 --> 00:07:06.500
of this word sin in the New Testament.
153
00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:07.880
Now that's what a sin is,
154
00:07:07.880 --> 00:07:10.760
which means a sin can be intentional
155
00:07:10.760 --> 00:07:12.470
or sin can be accidental.
156
00:07:12.470 --> 00:07:15.500
In fact, you can even commit a sin ignorantly.
157
00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:19.490
There are sins of commission and there are sins of omission.
158
00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:21.830
Those things that you deliberately do
159
00:07:21.830 --> 00:07:24.890
and those sins you just didn't
do something you should have
160
00:07:24.890 --> 00:07:28.850
done sins of commission
and sins of omission.
161
00:07:28.850 --> 00:07:32.090
But sin is completely unavoidable
162
00:07:32.090 --> 00:07:34.370
for a non-Christian
163
00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:37.460
because a non-Christian
does not have a new nature.
164
00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:39.650
He has a sinful nature.
165
00:07:39.650 --> 00:07:42.500
We're told in Romans 5:12, that
166
00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:45.320
because of Adam's disobedience,
167
00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:49.460
sin passed into the entire human race,
168
00:07:49.460 --> 00:07:53.030
which means everyone is born a sinner.
169
00:07:53.030 --> 00:07:55.670
A sinner is not what you become.
170
00:07:55.670 --> 00:07:56.870
You don't become a sinner
171
00:07:56.870 --> 00:07:58.520
because you're in a bad environment.
172
00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:02.030
You sin because you're born a sinner.
173
00:08:02.030 --> 00:08:06.260
We're born with a sinful nature. And that is why we sin.
174
00:08:06.260 --> 00:08:08.150
And I wanna give you an example.
175
00:08:08.150 --> 00:08:10.370
When I was a boy, we had an aquarium
176
00:08:10.370 --> 00:08:12.590
and oh, I loved the aquarium
177
00:08:12.590 --> 00:08:15.050
and my daddy really liked guppies.
178
00:08:15.050 --> 00:08:18.950
And every once in a while it would come time for the guppies
179
00:08:18.950 --> 00:08:21.140
to birth little fish.
180
00:08:21.140 --> 00:08:22.340
And I would hover in front
181
00:08:22.340 --> 00:08:23.630
of the aquarium and would watch.
182
00:08:23.630 --> 00:08:25.370
And it was amazing to me
183
00:08:25.370 --> 00:08:28.220
that when those little fish were born,
184
00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:31.190
they just immediately began to swim.
185
00:08:31.190 --> 00:08:33.710
No one had to stop and
say quick, quick, quick.
186
00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:36.710
Give the newborn fish swimming lessons.
187
00:08:36.710 --> 00:08:39.350
The moment they came out
of their mother boom,
188
00:08:39.350 --> 00:08:42.560
they just naturally began to swim.
189
00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:47.560
They swam because it is the
nature of a fish to swim.
190
00:08:47.660 --> 00:08:52.660
You don't have to teach a fish
to swim. Why do people sin?
191
00:08:52.790 --> 00:08:56.340
Because they're born in sin.
That's how they're born.
192
00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:59.070
They don't become sinners.
They are born sinners.
193
00:08:59.070 --> 00:09:00.510
And that's why you don't have
194
00:09:00.510 --> 00:09:02.700
to give people sinning lessons.
195
00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:04.200
It's in their nature.
196
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:09.200
Just like a fish naturally
swims, people naturally sin
197
00:09:09.270 --> 00:09:11.790
because sin is their nature.
198
00:09:11.790 --> 00:09:15.540
In fact, we are told in Romans 3:
199
00:09:15.540 --> 00:09:19.140
23, All have sinned
200
00:09:19.140 --> 00:09:21.690
and come short of the glory of God.
201
00:09:21.690 --> 00:09:24.540
And David said in Psalm 58:3,
202
00:09:24.540 --> 00:09:27.780
The wicked are estranged from birth.
203
00:09:27.780 --> 00:09:29.310
It happens from birth.
204
00:09:29.310 --> 00:09:31.200
They go astray as soon
205
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.040
as they be born. My friends,
206
00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:38.670
it's because we're born
with a sinful nature
207
00:09:38.670 --> 00:09:42.540
and we remain sinners until
the blood of Jesus changes us
208
00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:44.610
and gives us a new nature.
209
00:09:44.610 --> 00:09:47.070
And at 1 Timothy 1:15, Paul says,
210
00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:49.020
this is why Jesus came.
211
00:09:49.020 --> 00:09:51.540
It is a faithful saying,
worthy of all acceptation,
212
00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:55.650
that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners,
213
00:09:55.650 --> 00:09:58.230
which means Jesus will
give you a new nature
214
00:09:58.230 --> 00:09:59.400
and he will change you
215
00:09:59.400 --> 00:10:03.270
and will even enable
you to live above sin.
216
00:10:03.270 --> 00:10:06.090
But sometimes people sin ignorantly.
217
00:10:06.090 --> 00:10:09.000
In fact, I was just in the
car with one of my associates
218
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.490
and I said to him, before you knew Christ,
219
00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:13.590
were you aware that you were sinning?
220
00:10:13.590 --> 00:10:15.240
He said, no. He said,
221
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.460
I had never even considered the word sin.
222
00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.500
I just did what everybody else was doing.
223
00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:21.720
He said, sometimes my
conscience would tell me
224
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:25.170
what I was doing was wrong,
but everybody else did it.
225
00:10:25.170 --> 00:10:27.120
He said, I didn't even realize I was
226
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.530
violating the law of God.
227
00:10:28.530 --> 00:10:30.390
I did it ignorantly.
228
00:10:30.390 --> 00:10:33.870
Well, sometimes sins really are committed ignorantly.
229
00:10:33.870 --> 00:10:37.680
For example, in 1 Corinthians 15:34, Paul says, awake
230
00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:39.000
to righteousness
231
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.380
and sin not for some have not the knowledge of God.
232
00:10:43.380 --> 00:10:44.490
They sin ignorantly
233
00:10:44.490 --> 00:10:46.800
because they don't know
what they're doing is wrong.
234
00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:50.850
We read in 1 Timothy 1:13, that Paul said about himself
235
00:10:50.850 --> 00:10:54.450
before I was a blasphemer and
a persecutor and injurious,
236
00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:57.720
but I obtained mercy
because I did it ignorantly.
237
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.760
He really thought he was doing right,
238
00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:01.620
but in fact he was sinning.
239
00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:04.770
We read in 1 Peter 1:14, as obedient children,
240
00:11:04.770 --> 00:11:08.460
not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts
241
00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:11.610
in your ignorance. You see in the past,
242
00:11:11.610 --> 00:11:13.350
before you came to Christ,
243
00:11:13.350 --> 00:11:15.870
before you knew the Bible, you
might have done some things
244
00:11:15.870 --> 00:11:17.100
that were sinful,
245
00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:19.470
but you didn't even
realize they were sinful.
246
00:11:19.470 --> 00:11:21.300
But that doesn't change the fact
247
00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:23.040
that you were committing sin.
248
00:11:23.040 --> 00:11:26.280
And again, just like a fish swims
249
00:11:26.280 --> 00:11:29.280
because it's the nature of a fish to swim,
250
00:11:29.280 --> 00:11:32.760
people sin because people are born sinners
251
00:11:32.760 --> 00:11:34.920
and it is their nature to sin.
252
00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:38.580
And only Jesus can
change a person's nature.
253
00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:40.260
And if you've never come to Christ
254
00:11:40.260 --> 00:11:42.150
and called him the Lord
of your life, call us.
255
00:11:42.150 --> 00:11:43.560
We'll pray with you right now
256
00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:46.440
and Jesus will give you a new nature.
257
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.340
But we have to also
ask, what is a trespass?
258
00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:51.960
Alright, we've already seen what a sin is.
259
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.440
It means to miss the mark.
260
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.200
It can be done intentionally
or unintentionally.
261
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.390
But what about a trespass?
262
00:11:58.390 --> 00:12:01.330
Well, the word trespass in Greek is paraptoma.
263
00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:03.340
It's a compound of 2 words: the word para
264
00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:04.810
and the word pipto.
265
00:12:04.810 --> 00:12:07.330
The word para pictures a deviation.
266
00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:10.780
And the word pipto means to fall. As a compound,
267
00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:12.040
it is a deviation
268
00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:17.040
or fall from a right path
that leads to some kind of
269
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:18.880
a violation.
270
00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:20.380
Say violation.
271
00:12:20.380 --> 00:12:24.580
A violation is always intentional. More than a
272
00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:25.930
mere misdeed,
273
00:12:25.930 --> 00:12:30.930
it pictures an intentional
lapse, an intentional slip,
274
00:12:31.270 --> 00:12:33.310
an intentional offense
275
00:12:33.310 --> 00:12:36.070
or an intentional crossing of a barrier
276
00:12:36.070 --> 00:12:39.580
or border that creates a violation.
277
00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:41.470
That's what a transgression is.
278
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:45.280
It is the idea of deliberate
rebellion against rules.
279
00:12:45.280 --> 00:12:48.850
And the Greek and Roman world,
it was used in the context
280
00:12:48.850 --> 00:12:51.970
of legal or moral transgression.
281
00:12:51.970 --> 00:12:54.370
Now think about times when you've been driving
282
00:12:54.370 --> 00:12:56.590
through the country or through a neighborhood,
283
00:12:56.590 --> 00:12:58.281
and there you see on a gate or on
284
00:12:58.281 --> 00:13:00.339
the fence a sign that says,
285
00:13:00.339 --> 00:13:02.560
no trespassing -
286
00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:03.393
No trespassing.
287
00:13:03.393 --> 00:13:08.393
If you avoid that sign and
you crawl over that fence
288
00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:12.880
or you open that gate, you are
deliberately transgressing.
289
00:13:12.880 --> 00:13:16.390
You're violating that person's space.
290
00:13:16.390 --> 00:13:20.170
This is not accidental, it is
intentional. It is deliberate.
291
00:13:20.170 --> 00:13:24.070
You know exactly what you're
doing. It is a violation.
292
00:13:24.070 --> 00:13:28.450
And that is the idea of
the word transgression.
293
00:13:28.450 --> 00:13:31.960
So there's actually a vast
difference between a sin
294
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.070
and a transgression.
295
00:13:33.070 --> 00:13:36.730
A sin may be accidental, it
may be done in ignorance.
296
00:13:36.730 --> 00:13:38.980
Doesn't change the fact that it is sin.
297
00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:40.695
But a transgression
298
00:13:40.695 --> 00:13:45.070
or a trespass is something
that you know you're doing.
299
00:13:45.070 --> 00:13:49.570
You know you should not do
it and you do it anyhow.
300
00:13:49.570 --> 00:13:53.920
That's not just a sin,
that is a violation,
301
00:13:53.920 --> 00:13:56.020
that is a transgression.
302
00:13:56.020 --> 00:13:59.320
And I wanna see where this
word trespass is used all over
303
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.200
the New Testament. In Matthew 6:14,
304
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:06.640
Jesus said this; for if you forgive men their trespasses,
305
00:14:06.640 --> 00:14:08.650
it's the Greek word, paraptoma.
306
00:14:08.650 --> 00:14:10.090
It's talking about men
307
00:14:10.090 --> 00:14:12.640
that intentionally do something against you
308
00:14:12.640 --> 00:14:16.480
and they knew what they were doing: they were violating you.
309
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.250
And in fact, you could translate lt:
310
00:14:18.250 --> 00:14:22.060
if you forgive men their violations against you,
311
00:14:22.060 --> 00:14:25.150
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
312
00:14:25.150 --> 00:14:27.220
That's what a trespass is.
313
00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:30.040
In Matthew 6:15, Jesus continues;
314
00:14:30.040 --> 00:14:34.630
And if ye forgive not men their trespasses.
315
00:14:34.630 --> 00:14:37.240
A better translation would be - if you forgive,
316
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.900
not mend their intentional
violations against you,
317
00:14:40.900 --> 00:14:44.950
neither will your father
forgive your trespasses
318
00:14:44.950 --> 00:14:47.110
or when you intentionally do something
319
00:14:47.110 --> 00:14:48.910
that you know is wrong.
320
00:14:48.910 --> 00:14:51.140
How about Mark 11:25?
321
00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:52.340
And when you stand praying
322
00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:55.790
and forgive, if you
have ought against any,
323
00:14:55.790 --> 00:14:56.870
that your father,
324
00:14:56.870 --> 00:15:01.400
which is in heaven may
forgive you your trespasses:
325
00:15:01.400 --> 00:15:04.520
the Greek word, paraptoma, violations.
326
00:15:04.520 --> 00:15:07.490
The truth is though we
want to do what is right,
327
00:15:07.490 --> 00:15:11.960
sometimes all of us know we're
doing what we shouldn't do.
328
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.810
Maybe the Lord has told you not to watch something on TV,
329
00:15:14.810 --> 00:15:16.310
you watch it anyhow.
330
00:15:16.310 --> 00:15:17.630
Maybe the Holy Spirit has told you
331
00:15:17.630 --> 00:15:20.120
to quit eating something,
you do it anyhow.
332
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.300
That is a violation, that is a trespass.
333
00:15:23.300 --> 00:15:27.530
Or how about Mark 11:26?
334
00:15:27.530 --> 00:15:28.790
But if you do not forgive,
335
00:15:28.790 --> 00:15:30.890
neither will your father,
which is in heaven
336
00:15:30.890 --> 00:15:32.930
forgive your trespasses.
337
00:15:32.930 --> 00:15:36.860
The Greek word, paraptoma, which again describes violations
338
00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:40.520
or how about Mark 4:24 - who was delivered
339
00:15:40.520 --> 00:15:45.050
for our offenses and was raised again for our justification.
340
00:15:45.050 --> 00:15:47.120
But you know, the Greeks says, paraptoma.
341
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.610
A little translation was who was delivered
342
00:15:49.610 --> 00:15:53.270
for our trespasses or for our violations.
343
00:15:53.270 --> 00:15:58.270
He even paid the price
for our intentional sins.
344
00:15:58.280 --> 00:16:01.490
Or how about Romans 5:15, where Paul begins
345
00:16:01.490 --> 00:16:04.580
to describe about the offense of Adam.
346
00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:08.270
It says for if through the offense, the word offense here,
347
00:16:08.270 --> 00:16:09.920
the Greek word, paraptoma -
348
00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:14.150
if through the trespass - if through the violation -
349
00:16:14.150 --> 00:16:17.000
of one many be dead.
350
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.980
He's talking about Adam's sin.
351
00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:22.520
And my friends, it was a trespass, it was a transgression,
352
00:16:22.520 --> 00:16:24.080
it was a violation
353
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.680
because God had explicitly
said of every tree,
354
00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:29.660
which is in the garden,
you may have eaten,
355
00:16:29.660 --> 00:16:32.570
but of this one you may not eat.
356
00:16:33.530 --> 00:16:36.560
And when Adam reached
out to eat of that fruit
357
00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:40.940
with his wife, he knew
exactly what he was doing.
358
00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:43.730
It was a sin, but it was no mere sin.
359
00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:47.240
This was a trespass,
it was a transgression,
360
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.610
it was a violation.
361
00:16:49.610 --> 00:16:53.900
Romans 15:16 continues to say, not as it was
362
00:16:53.900 --> 00:16:55.160
by one that sinned
363
00:16:55.160 --> 00:16:59.570
so is the gift for the judgment was by one to condemnation
364
00:16:59.570 --> 00:17:03.140
but the free gift is a of many offenses.
365
00:17:03.140 --> 00:17:07.130
It's the Greek word, paraptoma: violations, trespasses,
366
00:17:07.130 --> 00:17:09.890
transgressions under justification
367
00:17:09.890 --> 00:17:12.860
or Romans 5:17 continues to say, for
368
00:17:12.860 --> 00:17:16.280
by one man's offense, death reigned by one.
369
00:17:16.280 --> 00:17:18.980
It's talking about Adam again, this word offense,
370
00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:22.880
the Greek word paraptoma: an offense, a transgression,
371
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.580
a trespass, a violation.
372
00:17:25.580 --> 00:17:27.050
Adam knew what he was doing.
373
00:17:27.050 --> 00:17:29.600
There was nothing innocent about it.
374
00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:32.990
Or you come to Romans 5:18; where the Bible says,
375
00:17:32.990 --> 00:17:37.640
Therefore, as by the offense,
one judgment came upon all men
376
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.430
to condemnation. This word, offense,
377
00:17:40.430 --> 00:17:42.350
again, the Greek word, paraptoma,
378
00:17:42.350 --> 00:17:45.680
which can be translated an offense, a trespass,
379
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.740
a transgression, an intentional violation.
380
00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:52.650
Or how about Romans 5:20 which says,
381
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:55.650
moreover, the law entered, the law, entered
382
00:17:55.650 --> 00:17:58.050
that the offense might abound,
383
00:17:58.050 --> 00:18:01.920
or God gave the law to explicitly tell us what we should
384
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:03.420
and should not do.
385
00:18:03.420 --> 00:18:08.310
And if we break it knowing what the law says,
386
00:18:08.310 --> 00:18:11.640
then it's not just a mere sin, it's not a mistake.
387
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.360
It is a trespass. It is a transgression.
388
00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:20.070
It is a intentional violation.
It is a higher level.
389
00:18:20.070 --> 00:18:22.200
Or how about Romans 11:11?
390
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.410
I say then have they stumbled
that they should fall.
391
00:18:25.410 --> 00:18:28.320
God forbid, but rather through their false speaking
392
00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:30.810
of Israel, through their violation,
393
00:18:30.810 --> 00:18:32.490
through their transgression,
394
00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:34.830
salvation has come to the Gentiles.
395
00:18:34.830 --> 00:18:37.770
Then in verse 12, Paul declares jubilantly
396
00:18:37.770 --> 00:18:40.350
that one day they're going to be restored.
397
00:18:40.350 --> 00:18:43.650
Then in 2 Corinthian 5:19, it says -
398
00:18:43.650 --> 00:18:48.000
To wit that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto
399
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.470
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them.
400
00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:54.240
And the word trespasses here,
401
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.930
paraptoma, their intentional violations.
402
00:18:57.930 --> 00:19:00.720
That is how great is the grace
of God in the blood of Jesus.
403
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.980
It even deals with those things we intentionally did wrong.
404
00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:07.620
Or Galatians 6:1, talks about someone
405
00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:10.470
who intentionally falls into sin by doing
406
00:19:10.470 --> 00:19:12.360
what they know they shouldn't have done.
407
00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:15.570
It says, brethren, if a man
be overtaken in a fault;
408
00:19:15.570 --> 00:19:17.040
it's the word, paraptoma.
409
00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:20.010
It's not just a mere accidental sin,
410
00:19:20.010 --> 00:19:22.920
the word, paraptoma, means this man did
411
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.010
what he knew he wasn't supposed to do,
412
00:19:26.010 --> 00:19:29.130
but he, which our spiritual
restore such a one in the
413
00:19:29.130 --> 00:19:30.600
spirit of meekness.
414
00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:33.240
Or then we come to Ephesians 1:7, which says,
415
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.060
In whom we have redemption through his blood,
416
00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:38.790
the forgiveness of sins according
417
00:19:38.790 --> 00:19:40.110
to the riches of his grace.
418
00:19:40.110 --> 00:19:43.290
But the word sins in this verse is not hamartia,
419
00:19:43.290 --> 00:19:44.790
which is the word for sins,
420
00:19:44.790 --> 00:19:46.620
it is the word, paraptoma,
421
00:19:46.620 --> 00:19:50.010
our intentional actions that are wrong.
422
00:19:50.010 --> 00:19:52.350
That is how great is the blood of Jesus.
423
00:19:52.350 --> 00:19:54.780
He even cleanses those things we did in the past
424
00:19:54.780 --> 00:19:57.960
that we did were wrong and
we knew we shouldn't do them.
425
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.090
Then it says in Ephesians 2:1,
426
00:20:00.090 --> 00:20:03.930
And you have he quickened who were dead in trespasses
427
00:20:03.930 --> 00:20:05.520
and sins.
428
00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:10.320
He mentions two separate categories. Wow!
429
00:20:10.320 --> 00:20:13.680
But then when we return to Joshua 7:11,
430
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.350
God says, Israel has sinned
431
00:20:16.350 --> 00:20:19.680
and also transgressed my covenant
432
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.970
which I commanded them for.
433
00:20:20.970 --> 00:20:25.290
They have even taken of the
a curse thing and have stolen
434
00:20:25.290 --> 00:20:27.060
and disassembled also,
435
00:20:27.060 --> 00:20:30.690
and they have put it
among their own stuff.
436
00:20:30.690 --> 00:20:35.070
Israel sin and Israel transgressed.
437
00:20:35.070 --> 00:20:39.210
There's a difference between
a sin and a transgression.
438
00:20:39.210 --> 00:20:40.890
But hey, we're just getting started
439
00:20:40.890 --> 00:20:44.520
because we're gonna pick up
here in the next program,
440
00:20:44.520 --> 00:20:46.200
but I've got more to say to you
441
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:47.740
and then I'll be back in just a moment.
442
00:20:55.780 --> 00:20:58.450
This is Rick Renner and
somebody has asked a very
443
00:20:58.450 --> 00:20:59.590
important question.
444
00:20:59.590 --> 00:21:04.570
Here it is. How can I be
confident of my salvation?
445
00:21:04.570 --> 00:21:07.420
Well, when I was a younger man, I was not confident
446
00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:11.470
of my salvation and I struggled all the time to know whether
447
00:21:11.470 --> 00:21:14.890
or not I was really
saved or if I was unsaved
448
00:21:14.890 --> 00:21:17.800
and I feared that one day I would wake up
449
00:21:17.800 --> 00:21:20.800
and would find out that
I was not really saved
450
00:21:20.800 --> 00:21:22.090
and it would be too late,
451
00:21:22.090 --> 00:21:23.950
and I had to come to a place
452
00:21:23.950 --> 00:21:25.930
where I finally rested in the Lord.
453
00:21:25.930 --> 00:21:30.460
And we read in Hebrews 4:10; For he
454
00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:34.480
that is entered into his rest
has ceased from his own works.
455
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:36.490
I was striving so hard trying
456
00:21:36.490 --> 00:21:39.400
to show God I was pious
enough to be saved.
457
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:42.400
And finally I just said, you
know, Lord, if I'm not saved,
458
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.110
I'm never gonna be saved.
459
00:21:44.110 --> 00:21:48.190
I just rest in your saving
power, and my friends,
460
00:21:48.190 --> 00:21:50.500
you've got to come to a place where you say - Lord,
461
00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:52.900
I just put all my trust on you
462
00:21:52.900 --> 00:21:55.030
and that will give you confidence
463
00:21:55.030 --> 00:21:57.580
that you really are a child of God.
464
00:21:57.580 --> 00:22:00.400
Is there something you
are trying to hide from God?
465
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.750
He is omniscient and
omnipotent. He already knows.
466
00:22:04.750 --> 00:22:08.320
In Rick Renner's new series, The Sin of Achan, discover how
467
00:22:08.320 --> 00:22:11.290
to avoid making the same mistake Achan made when he tried
468
00:22:11.290 --> 00:22:13.900
to hide his sin. Unlock the door
469
00:22:13.900 --> 00:22:16.540
to getting back in right standing with God
470
00:22:16.540 --> 00:22:19.150
and receiving the
unhindered victory Jesus has
471
00:22:19.150 --> 00:22:20.470
made available to you.
472
00:22:20.470 --> 00:22:23.560
This 5-part series teaches how to identify
473
00:22:23.560 --> 00:22:26.680
what sin you are hiding,
the difference between a sin
474
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:27.970
and a trespass.
475
00:22:27.970 --> 00:22:29.590
What is an abomination?
476
00:22:29.590 --> 00:22:33.310

494
00:23:29.380 --> 00:23:33.010
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner, and guess where I am.
495
00:23:33.010 --> 00:23:35.476
I'm seated in the lunchroom of our
496
00:23:35.476 --> 00:23:37.284
Tulsa headquarters office,
497
00:23:37.284 --> 00:23:40.570
and you'll notice that all around this room are photographs,
498
00:23:40.570 --> 00:23:42.220
big photographs of places
499
00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:44.770
where we have offices. Just behind the camera,
500
00:23:44.770 --> 00:23:46.670
I'm looking at the Oklahoma State Capitol
501
00:23:46.670 --> 00:23:48.650
because this office is in Oklahoma
502
00:23:48.650 --> 00:23:51.140
and there's a lot of team
members who work here.
503
00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:54.140
But then you'll notice right
here is a beautiful picture
504
00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:57.260
of Riga where Denise and I
lived in Latvia for years.
505
00:23:57.260 --> 00:23:59.960
We have an office there and
we have a significant number
506
00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:01.580
of team members there.
507
00:24:01.580 --> 00:24:05.060
Behind that, you see a
photograph of London.
508
00:24:05.060 --> 00:24:07.490
That's because we also
have an office in London.
509
00:24:07.490 --> 00:24:10.280
Did you know that? We
have team members there.
510
00:24:10.280 --> 00:24:13.370
Then over here you see a
beautiful picture of Moscow.
511
00:24:13.370 --> 00:24:15.830
We have many, many,
many team members there.
512
00:24:15.830 --> 00:24:18.440
And then out in the hallway,
there's a big photograph
513
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:20.090
of Mongolia.
514
00:24:20.090 --> 00:24:22.700
You may not have known it,
but we also have an office in
515
00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:25.550
Mongolia and we have team members there.
516
00:24:25.550 --> 00:24:27.890
We are doing work all
517
00:24:27.890 --> 00:24:30.500
around the planet and we're able to do it -
518
00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:33.620
No.1, because of the grace of God.
519
00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:35.360
No.2, because Denise and I
520
00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:36.920
and our team are willing to do the work.
521
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.100
And No.3, because of partners who come along
522
00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:41.810
to put fuel in the tank.
523
00:24:41.810 --> 00:24:44.810
And the reason I'm speaking
to you right now is
524
00:24:44.810 --> 00:24:47.570
because I'm very grateful for your part.
525
00:24:47.570 --> 00:24:49.160
We couldn't do our part
526
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.950
if you don't do your part. You know all
527
00:24:51.950 --> 00:24:54.950
of us are necessary in the great plan of God. God is the one
528
00:24:54.950 --> 00:24:57.080
that gives all the growth, so he ultimately
529
00:24:57.080 --> 00:24:58.640
gives all the glory.
530
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.940
But I would be wrong if I
didn't stop to say thank you
531
00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:03.680
to you for being one
532
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.160
of the most faithful
partners in our ministry.
533
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.780
And that is who you are. You
are among the most faithful.
534
00:25:11.780 --> 00:25:14.990
And for this, I just wanted to say "thank you".
535
00:25:24.230 --> 00:25:26.180
Well, today we've been looking
at what is the difference
536
00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:30.050
between a sin and a
trespass or a transgression.
537
00:25:30.050 --> 00:25:33.860
The good news is the blood
of Jesus covers it all,
538
00:25:33.860 --> 00:25:36.830
but a sin is a sinful act.
539
00:25:36.830 --> 00:25:38.870
It can be done intentionally
or unintentionally,
540
00:25:38.870 --> 00:25:43.610
but a trespass or a
transgression is a violation.
541
00:25:43.610 --> 00:25:47.720
It's when you do what you know
you're not supposed to do.
542
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.020
There's nothing ignorant
or accidental about it.
543
00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:53.240
It's very, very serious.
544
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.300
But the good news is the
blood of Jesus covers sins
545
00:25:56.300 --> 00:26:01.070
and the blood of Jesus also
covers trespasses, violations,
546
00:26:01.070 --> 00:26:02.810
and my friends, if you want somebody to pray
547
00:26:02.810 --> 00:26:05.000
with you about the forgiveness of sin
548
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:08.630
or some violation you've done
in your life, give us a call
549
00:26:08.630 --> 00:26:10.340
because we want to pray with you.
550
00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:12.740
And remember that we're offering you my series called, The
551
00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:16.610
Sin of Achan - Avoiding Sin that Forfeits Victory,
552
00:26:16.610 --> 00:26:18.740
and it comes with a study guide.
553
00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:20.870
And we're offering you my book which is called, The Will
554
00:26:20.870 --> 00:26:23.330
of God, The Key to your Success.
555
00:26:23.330 --> 00:26:26.180
And this week, every day, this week,
556
00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:28.070
I'm offering you my little book,
557
00:26:28.070 --> 00:26:31.130
but it is an important book,
which is called, Repentance,
558
00:26:31.130 --> 00:26:33.290
What it Is, What It Isn't,
559
00:26:33.290 --> 00:26:36.650
and How to Do It - 1 per household.
560
00:26:36.650 --> 00:26:40.010
Just give us a call or reach out to us online
561
00:26:40.010 --> 00:26:41.270
and we'll get it to you.
562
00:26:41.270 --> 00:26:44.190
But put your hand on your heart I wanna pray for right now.
563
00:26:44.190 --> 00:26:48.150
Father, I thank you that
we have forgiveness of sin.
564
00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:50.880
We thank you Lord, that
your blood covers sin,
565
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:55.020
it covers trespasses,
it covers transgression.
566
00:26:55.020 --> 00:26:57.210
We just embrace the blood of Jesus
567
00:26:57.210 --> 00:26:59.610
and we thank you, we
thank you, we thank you
568
00:26:59.610 --> 00:27:02.910
that you have applied
the blood to our lives,
569
00:27:02.910 --> 00:27:06.540
and Lord, help us to live
lives that are pleasing to you
570
00:27:06.540 --> 00:27:09.750
in Jesus' name, Amen.
571
00:27:09.750 --> 00:27:13.140
I'll see you tomorrow. But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4
572
00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:17.250
says, "Where the word of a king is, there is power."
573
00:27:17.250 --> 00:27:19.500
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
574
00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:23.880
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
575
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.070
Jesus has to give you.
576
00:27:26.070 --> 00:27:30.120
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
577
00:27:30.120 --> 00:27:34.170
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
578
00:27:34.170 --> 00:27:37.140
and Lord. Wash away my sin
579
00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:40.140
and make me completely new.
580
00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:43.980
I thank you that my sin is removed
581
00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:48.980
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
582
00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:53.460
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
583
00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:55.170
for the rest of my life.
584
00:27:56.250 --> 00:28:01.020
Amen. If you just prayed the
585
00:28:01.020 --> 00:28:04.290
prayer of salvation with us,
would you please let us know
586
00:28:04.290 --> 00:28:07.740

587
00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:10.110
