00:00:01.470 --> 00:00:04.170
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:08.220
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:11.460
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:15.030
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.030 --> 00:00:17.010
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:20.310
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:21.720
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:26.310
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:29.070
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:32.340
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:38.310
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:39.510
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:41.340
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.700
and I'm so thrilled that I
can sit here in this chair
15
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:45.720
and be with you,
16
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:48.690
and thank you for letting
me come into your space.
17
00:00:48.690 --> 00:00:51.210
And today we're gonna continue our series,
18
00:00:51.210 --> 00:00:54.930
which is called, How to Overcome the Fiery Trial of Faith.
19
00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:59.040
Fiery trial simply come in life, but we have power
20
00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:00.390
and we have faith to get us
21
00:01:00.390 --> 00:01:02.490
through anything that we encounter.
22
00:01:02.490 --> 00:01:05.070
And that's what we're seeing in 1st Peter, which is
23
00:01:05.070 --> 00:01:06.840
what this series is about.
24
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.850
And this comes with a study guide.
25
00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:11.520
And everything in this
series is in the study guide
26
00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:14.340
because it is just a scientific fact
27
00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:16.800
that when you read the
material, while you're seeing
28
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:19.890
or hearing it, it really
causes this material
29
00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:22.650
to get down deep inside
you and my friends
30
00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:26.880
this is teaching you need to be down deep inside you.
31
00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:29.580
This will help you get
through any fiery trial,
32
00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:32.670
but please go online to order
these or give us a call.
33
00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:35.610
And we're offering you the new Green volume,
34
00:01:35.610 --> 00:01:38.040
Vol.II of the RIV.
35
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.490
You know, somebody asked
Rick, how do you produce
36
00:01:41.490 --> 00:01:42.630
so much material?
37
00:01:42.630 --> 00:01:44.640
Well, I write every day of my life
38
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.660
and my goal is to write four books a year.
39
00:01:48.660 --> 00:01:50.430
We have another book coming out very soon
40
00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:52.170
that's just gonna be amazing.
41
00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:53.640
I can hardly wait to get it to you.
42
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.840
But right now we're releasing
the newest volume of the RIV,

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.270

which is 1 & 2 Peter.
45
00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:04.650
It is the Renner Interpretive Version if you
46
00:02:04.650 --> 00:02:06.090
have volume number one.
47
00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:08.010
It was about James and Jude.
48
00:02:08.010 --> 00:02:10.170
Now I want you to get volume number two.
49
00:02:10.170 --> 00:02:13.170
It is a parallel study
Bible for people of faith.
50
00:02:13.170 --> 00:02:15.780
So if you consider yourself
to be a person of faith,
51
00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:19.020
this is the study Bible
you've been waiting for.
52
00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:22.800
So please go online to order yours today.
53
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.020
And by the way, I wanna say
thank you to your partners
54
00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:27.660
for helping us with everything we do.
55
00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:31.170
Thank you for helping me to
publish all these materials
56
00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:34.650
and to get materials into people's hands all over the world.
57
00:02:34.650 --> 00:02:37.590
Thank you for helping us to broadcast on all kinds
58
00:02:37.590 --> 00:02:41.940
of TV stations and channels and all kinds of digital formats
59
00:02:41.940 --> 00:02:45.540
because of your giving, we're taking the trusted teaching
60
00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:47.400
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
61
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.610
And I want to say thank
you, thank you, thank you.
62
00:02:50.610 --> 00:02:52.860
And if you're not a
partner yet, we need you
63
00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:55.770
and we invite you to be a
part of our partner family.
64
00:02:55.770 --> 00:02:59.200
And by the way, before we
begin in the teaching today,
65
00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:00.790
remember that if you have any prayer
66
00:03:00.790 --> 00:03:03.100
or need, we are here to pray for you.
67
00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:04.900
That is not a trite statement.
68
00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:08.410
I really mean we will pray for you;
69
00:03:08.410 --> 00:03:10.390
by the time you're finished talking
70
00:03:10.390 --> 00:03:11.980
to somebody on the telephone,
71
00:03:11.980 --> 00:03:14.560
you will know you've
really been prayed for.
72
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.570
So call the number on the screen,
73
00:03:16.570 --> 00:03:19.120
or if you wish, you can
just send us an email.
74
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:20.680
And as soon as we hear from you,
75
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.400
we're gonna release our faith
and Jesus is gonna move.
76
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.490
And I guarantee you, Jesus
is gonna do what needs
77
00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:30.880
to be done - but reach for your Bible.
78
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:33.370
And today we're gonna return to the RIV
79
00:03:33.370 --> 00:03:35.920
of 1 Peter 1.
80
00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:38.380
And we're talking about
the power of God to get us
81
00:03:38.380 --> 00:03:39.790
through difficult things.
82
00:03:39.790 --> 00:03:44.020
And we're going to begin today reviewing in verse 4,
83
00:03:44.020 --> 00:03:45.100
and we're going to read
84
00:03:45.100 --> 00:03:47.440
what the King James Version says first.
85
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:49.000
And then I'm gonna give you the RIV.
86
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.740
Now we've already covered verse 4,
87
00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.750
so very quickly we're
just going to review it,
88
00:03:52.750 --> 00:03:54.250
then we're gonna move on.
89
00:03:54.250 --> 00:03:56.200
But in one Peter 1:4,
90
00:03:56.200 --> 00:03:59.080
Peter is describing our inheritance
91
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.450
and he says - To an inheritance, incorruptible
92
00:04:01.450 --> 00:04:04.780
and undefiled, that fadeth
not away reserved in
93
00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:05.980
heaven for you.
94
00:04:05.980 --> 00:04:07.270
That is the King James.
95
00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:10.030
It is very succinct, very to the point.
96
00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:13.630
But in that verse, these
Greek words have all kinds
97
00:04:13.630 --> 00:04:15.490
of flavors and nuances
98
00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:18.790
that are not conveyed in
the King James Version.
99
00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:23.770
So in the RIV, it says it like this - Through Christ's death
100
00:04:23.770 --> 00:04:27.040
and resurrection - this is so exciting.
101
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.180
Listen to this - The final lot in eternity was conclusively
102
00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:33.280
cast in our favor
103
00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:38.280
and we became legal possessors
of a fabulous inheritance.
104
00:04:38.650 --> 00:04:42.700
That's the truth about us.
That's the truth about you.
105
00:04:42.700 --> 00:04:46.030
You become the possessor
of a fabulous inheritance.
106
00:04:46.030 --> 00:04:49.300
And the RIV goes on to
say, it is an inheritance
107
00:04:49.300 --> 00:04:52.510
that is incapable of decay
108
00:04:52.510 --> 00:04:56.500
or suffering, the effects
of wear, tear, and age.
109
00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:57.610
And that is timeless
110
00:04:57.610 --> 00:05:02.110
and indestructible, eternally impeccable,
111
00:05:02.110 --> 00:05:07.030
never ending, never to be depleted, exhausted or diminished.
112
00:05:07.030 --> 00:05:11.740
And which right now is being
guarded, kept, preserved
113
00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:16.000
and protected in heaven for you.
114
00:05:17.590 --> 00:05:20.260
That's the RIV of 1 Peter 1:4.
115
00:05:20.260 --> 00:05:22.090
Now we're gonna move to verse 5.
116
00:05:22.090 --> 00:05:25.060
And yesterday we saw just
a little bit of verse 5,
117
00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:26.260
so we're gonna cover this again,
118
00:05:26.260 --> 00:05:28.600
then we're gonna move deeper into it.
119
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.680
And in the King James Version, 1 Peter 1:5 says,
120
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:37.030
Who are kept by the power of God through faith
121
00:05:37.030 --> 00:05:41.410
unto salvation ready to be
revealed in the last time?
122
00:05:41.410 --> 00:05:44.800
What does that mean - ready to
be revealed in the last time?
123
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.840
Well, we need to understand this.
124
00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:49.960
So the RIV interprets it like this -
125
00:05:51.190 --> 00:05:54.100
And like that ever-guarded, kept, preserved
126
00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:57.160
and protected inheritance in heaven, you too
127
00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:03.230
are being defended, guarded, kept, protected,
128
00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:05.510
safeguarded, and shielded by
129
00:06:05.510 --> 00:06:08.630
and in the power of God.
130
00:06:09.590 --> 00:06:12.290
Say - Amen. That's what the Bible says.
131
00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:16.760
You too are being defended,
guarded, kept protected,
132
00:06:16.760 --> 00:06:20.900
safeguarded and shielded
by and in the power of God.
133
00:06:20.900 --> 00:06:24.800
And then it continues - That power, like an army,
134
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.020
is assembled in all of its fullness
135
00:06:27.020 --> 00:06:30.650
and might to push back enemies in your life.
136
00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:34.010
That's the power of God operating in you.
137
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.640
It's like an army that's assembled in all of its fullness
138
00:06:37.640 --> 00:06:41.480
and might to push back
enemies in your life.
139
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:46.010
And then the RIV continues to say, I'm talking about a power
140
00:06:46.010 --> 00:06:49.760
that is activated by faith.
141
00:06:49.760 --> 00:06:54.200
The word by, is explained in footnote No.36.
142
00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:56.708
The words - activated by - are a translation
143
00:06:56.708 --> 00:06:58.674
of the preposition dia,
144
00:06:58.674 --> 00:07:03.140
which here is used to depict
the divine agency by which all
145
00:07:03.140 --> 00:07:06.200
of this power is triggered or activated.
146
00:07:06.200 --> 00:07:07.730
And the trigger is faith.
147
00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:10.880
You gotta use your faith to
release the power of God.
148
00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:12.950
And it says by faith.
149
00:07:12.950 --> 00:07:15.920
And that leads you into,
150
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.890
that leads you into - where's it leading you -
151
00:07:18.890 --> 00:07:23.780
it's leading you into the fullest reality of your salvation:
152
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.240
deliverance, healing, preservation,
153
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:33.440
wholeness, and everything else included in
154
00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:34.670
salvation.
155
00:07:36.590 --> 00:07:40.250
My friends, the package of salvation is loaded.
156
00:07:40.250 --> 00:07:42.710
When I was growing up, I
thought it was just heaven.
157
00:07:42.710 --> 00:07:45.620
But this word salvation is very important
158
00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:49.280
and it's explained in footnote No.39,
159
00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:53.990
which says the words salvation, deliverance, healing,
160
00:07:53.990 --> 00:07:55.250
preservation, wholeness,
161
00:07:55.250 --> 00:07:59.630
and everything else included in salvation are translated
162
00:07:59.630 --> 00:08:01.670
from a form of the Greek word soteria,
163
00:08:01.670 --> 00:08:04.970
which is derived from soter, which is closely related
164
00:08:04.970 --> 00:08:06.470
to the word sodzo.
165
00:08:06.470 --> 00:08:07.970
Now listen to this.
166
00:08:07.970 --> 00:08:12.860
The word sodzo depicts deliverance, healing,
167
00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:16.760
preservation, wholeness and salvation.
168
00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:19.580
The word sodzo, conveys the idea
169
00:08:19.580 --> 00:08:22.940
of wholeness in every single part of life
170
00:08:22.940 --> 00:08:27.680
and could depict a person or even a country that's delivered
171
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.870
or saved from an enemy
172
00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:33.140
and as used in this verse, Peter was stating
173
00:08:33.140 --> 00:08:38.140
that deliverance, healing,
preservation, prosperity,
174
00:08:38.180 --> 00:08:39.410
protection, safety,
175
00:08:39.410 --> 00:08:41.210
and salvation belong
176
00:08:41.210 --> 00:08:46.160
to those whose faith is
fixed in the power of God.
177
00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:50.390
Thus God's promises to deliver
his people out of destruction
178
00:08:50.390 --> 00:08:54.200
and to bring them into
safety, not only in heaven,
179
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:55.470
but he promises it
180
00:08:55.470 --> 00:09:00.390
now for those who engage their faith to receive it.
181
00:09:01.650 --> 00:09:03.030
All of that's in salvation,
182
00:09:04.290 --> 00:09:06.690
which means the moment you got saved,
183
00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:09.960
deliverance was available to
you, healing was available
184
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.440
to you, preservation
available to you, wholeness
185
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.650
and everything else included in salvation.
186
00:09:17.520 --> 00:09:20.220
And all of those realities are triggered
187
00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:21.900
by the agency of faith.
188
00:09:21.900 --> 00:09:24.330
That's why you need to
know how to use your faith.
189
00:09:25.380 --> 00:09:28.950
But then the RIV goes on to say: Indeed, in the very end
190
00:09:28.950 --> 00:09:33.150
of days when time has
sailed to its last port,
191
00:09:33.150 --> 00:09:36.510
and no more time remains
for the journey in
192
00:09:36.510 --> 00:09:41.010
that very last season
of time, every aspect
193
00:09:41.010 --> 00:09:43.920
of salvation is raring
194
00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:47.850
and ready to be unleashed,
195
00:09:47.850 --> 00:09:52.740
to be fully revealed and fully understood.
196
00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:56.250
Now that is very different
from the King James Version,
197
00:09:56.250 --> 00:09:59.190
which simply says - under salvation ready
198
00:09:59.190 --> 00:10:00.870
to be revealed in the last time.
199
00:10:00.870 --> 00:10:04.410
Which is wonderful that
it really falls short
200
00:10:04.410 --> 00:10:07.680
of all the flavors and the
nuances in the Greek text.
201
00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:12.210
And again, the RIV says, Indeed, in the very end of days
202
00:10:12.210 --> 00:10:14.520
when time has sailed to its last port,
203
00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:17.010
and no more time remains
for the journey in
204
00:10:17.010 --> 00:10:18.990
that very last season of time.
205
00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:23.760
And the reason it's interpreted like this
206
00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:27.780
is explained in footnote No.40, which says:
207
00:10:29.430 --> 00:10:32.820
The words, the very end of days when time has sailed
208
00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:35.010
to its last port and no more time remains
209
00:10:35.010 --> 00:10:37.290
for the journey are a translation of a form
210
00:10:37.290 --> 00:10:41.100
of the Greek word eschatos - a word that points
211
00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:45.090
to the ultimate end of a
thing or the extreme end.
212
00:10:45.090 --> 00:10:48.480
And it's used in classical
Greek literature to depict
213
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:53.070
a place farthest away such as
the very ends of the earth.
214
00:10:53.070 --> 00:10:57.180
It portrays the final port,
the last stopping off place
215
00:10:57.180 --> 00:11:00.150
for a journey or something that is final.
216
00:11:00.150 --> 00:11:04.320
And here just describing the very last season of time;
217
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.650
which means, when we've sailed to the end of the age
218
00:11:07.650 --> 00:11:12.570
and we can go no further, in that moment, every aspect
219
00:11:12.570 --> 00:11:17.430
of salvation is raring and ready to be unleashed.
220
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.270
It means in the very end of the age we're gonna understand
221
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:22.290
things about salvation
222
00:11:22.290 --> 00:11:24.300
that we did not previously understand.
223
00:11:24.300 --> 00:11:26.010
We're going to experience dimensions
224
00:11:26.010 --> 00:11:30.480
of salvation the previous generations did not experience.
225
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.730
And in fact, when the verse here says raring
226
00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:35.550
and ready to be unleashed,
227
00:11:35.550 --> 00:11:40.260
footnote No.42 explains these words - raring
228
00:11:40.260 --> 00:11:42.990
and ready to be unleashed - are from a form
229
00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:46.740
of the word hetoimos which depicts readiness.
230
00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:48.270
It was often used in connection
231
00:11:48.270 --> 00:11:51.720
with Roman soldiers portraying
men of war who were ready
232
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.630
to march onto the battlefield
to confront the enemy.
233
00:11:55.630 --> 00:11:58.270
And here the scripture is literally prophesying the very,
234
00:11:58.270 --> 00:11:59.440
very end of the age.
235
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:04.180
The fullness of salvation is
raring. It is ready to go.
236
00:12:04.180 --> 00:12:07.300
It is ready to be unleashed.
237
00:12:07.300 --> 00:12:11.140
And the RIV goes on to say - to be fully revealed
238
00:12:11.140 --> 00:12:13.270
and finally understood.
239
00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:16.540
It means there's some things
we're gonna understand at the
240
00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:20.200
end of the age the previous generations did not understand.
241
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.760
We're going to experience things
242
00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:25.090
that previous generations did not experience
243
00:12:25.090 --> 00:12:27.610
and these words to be fully revealed
244
00:12:27.610 --> 00:12:31.510
and finally fully
understood is explained at
245
00:12:31.510 --> 00:12:33.040
footnote No.43.
246
00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:35.080
Do you see how important are all these footnotes
247
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:36.550
in this commentary?
248
00:12:36.550 --> 00:12:38.020
Listen to what it says.
249
00:12:38.020 --> 00:12:39.220
The words, fully revealed
250
00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:41.860
and finally fully understood, are from a
251
00:12:41.860 --> 00:12:43.540
form of the word, apokalupto.
252
00:12:43.540 --> 00:12:46.630
Wow, this is an important word.
253
00:12:46.630 --> 00:12:49.120
It's a compound of the preposition apo in the word
254
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:50.530
kalupto. The preposition
255
00:12:50.530 --> 00:12:51.670
apo means away
256
00:12:51.670 --> 00:12:56.590
and the word kalupto, pictures that which is covered, veiled
257
00:12:56.590 --> 00:12:58.900
or something that's been hidden from sight.
258
00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:03.040
But when compounded to become the word apokalupto,
259
00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:07.120
which Peter uses in this
verse, it refers to something
260
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:12.120
that's been veiled or hidden,
but suddenly it becomes clear
261
00:13:12.130 --> 00:13:14.260
and visible to the mind or to the eye.
262
00:13:14.260 --> 00:13:17.410
It is an unveiling, a sudden revealing
263
00:13:17.410 --> 00:13:20.980
or an uncovering of something
that was there all along
264
00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:23.590
but not visible because it was concealed
265
00:13:23.590 --> 00:13:25.540
or hidden from sight.
266
00:13:25.540 --> 00:13:28.930
However, when apokalupto takes place,
267
00:13:28.930 --> 00:13:31.390
suddenly the veil is removed
268
00:13:31.390 --> 00:13:34.870
and as a result what was
hidden comes into plain view.
269
00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:38.530
And here it's talking about
the fullness of our salvation.
270
00:13:39.550 --> 00:13:43.450
And Peter is literally prophesying that when time has sailed
271
00:13:43.450 --> 00:13:45.310
to the end of the age
272
00:13:45.310 --> 00:13:47.680
or in the very end of
days when time has sailed
273
00:13:47.680 --> 00:13:51.670
to its last port, and no more
time remains for the journey,
274
00:13:51.670 --> 00:13:55.030
in that very last season of time, every aspect
275
00:13:55.030 --> 00:13:57.670
of salvation is raring
276
00:13:57.670 --> 00:14:02.470
and ready to be unleashed,
to be fully revealed
277
00:14:02.470 --> 00:14:05.680
and finally fully understood,
which means we ought
278
00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:08.530
to be understanding some
things about our salvation
279
00:14:08.530 --> 00:14:11.860
that previous generations
did not understand.
280
00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:16.240
Are you understanding more
and more about your salvation?
281
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.310
Your salvation includes
according to the word
282
00:14:18.310 --> 00:14:22.720
that is used here in verse 5, salvation, deliverance,
283
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.850
healing, preservation, wholeness
284
00:14:24.850 --> 00:14:28.510
and everything else packaged in salvation.
285
00:14:28.510 --> 00:14:30.730
My friends, God wants to reveal it to you.
286
00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:32.830
And the closer we get to the end of the age
287
00:14:32.830 --> 00:14:35.380
and to the coming of Jesus, salvation
288
00:14:35.380 --> 00:14:38.020
and all that it entails, it is raring
289
00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:42.190
and ready to march into our lives and to be fully revealed.
290
00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:46.210
Wow. But then in 1 Peter 1:6,
291
00:14:46.210 --> 00:14:48.040
the King James Version goes on to say,
292
00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:50.620
wherein you greatly rejoice,
293
00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:54.620
although for a season if
need be, you're in heaviness
294
00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:57.260
through manifold temptations.
295
00:14:57.260 --> 00:15:00.200
Now we get to the crux of the matter.
296
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:04.070
These believers were going
through really fiery trials.
297
00:15:04.910 --> 00:15:07.280
This verse in the King James
Version says they were going
298
00:15:07.280 --> 00:15:09.950
through manifold temptations;
299
00:15:09.950 --> 00:15:11.750
but we've seen in all the previous verses,
300
00:15:11.750 --> 00:15:14.090
they have everything they
need to get through it.
301
00:15:14.090 --> 00:15:16.490
They've got everything they
need, they have all the goods,
302
00:15:16.490 --> 00:15:19.460
they've got faith, they've
got power, and so do you.
303
00:15:20.420 --> 00:15:23.390
But the RIV expands this a bit.
304
00:15:23.390 --> 00:15:25.520
And again, the RIV is not a translation,
305
00:15:25.520 --> 00:15:26.990
it is an interpretation.
306
00:15:26.990 --> 00:15:28.730
It's a conceptual interpretation.
307
00:15:28.730 --> 00:15:31.970
It reaches into the Greek text
and pulls out all the flavor
308
00:15:31.970 --> 00:15:33.470
and all the nuances of these words
309
00:15:33.470 --> 00:15:35.210
and brings them into the text
310
00:15:35.210 --> 00:15:37.670
to give us a broader understanding
311
00:15:37.670 --> 00:15:39.740
of what's being communicated in the verse.
312
00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:44.740
And the RIV of 1 Peter 1:6 says it like this -
313
00:15:45.230 --> 00:15:47.360
Your salvation is a reason for you
314
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:51.380
to experience sheer ecstasy and joy,
315
00:15:51.380 --> 00:15:55.100
even if at this present moment in the here
316
00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:57.350
and now for a little period of time,
317
00:15:57.350 --> 00:16:00.530
it seems you are in the middle
of exceptionally challenging,
318
00:16:00.530 --> 00:16:04.880
difficult times due to
many assorted evil trials
319
00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:08.030
that are a calculated
attempt to try to break you
320
00:16:08.030 --> 00:16:12.290
and make you fail, falter or stumble.
321
00:16:13.370 --> 00:16:15.620
Maybe that sounds like something that you're going through.
322
00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:17.630
Well, let's go back and look at this verse
323
00:16:17.630 --> 00:16:19.520
and dive in a little deeper.
324
00:16:19.520 --> 00:16:22.430
The very 1st of the RIV in 1 Peter 1:6 says,
325
00:16:22.430 --> 00:16:24.530
Your salvation is a reason -
326
00:16:24.530 --> 00:16:27.740
listen to this - It's a reason for you
327
00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:30.410
to experience sheer ecstasy and joy.
328
00:16:30.410 --> 00:16:34.220
And my friends, your
salvation is a reason for you
329
00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:36.290
to experience a lot of joy.
330
00:16:36.290 --> 00:16:41.290
And footnote No.44 explains -
331
00:16:41.660 --> 00:16:43.280
The words, sheer ecstasy
332
00:16:43.280 --> 00:16:45.080
and joy are an interpretation of a form,
333
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.730
the Greek word agalliao, which pictures one who is ecstatic,
334
00:16:49.730 --> 00:16:52.040
wildly joyful and excited.
335
00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:55.220
And in the context of this
verse, it pictures one
336
00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:58.430
who is wildly joyful about
the inheritance they have
337
00:16:58.430 --> 00:17:01.820
received and the inheritance
that awaits them in heaven.
338
00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:04.310
That is something you can rejoice about
339
00:17:04.310 --> 00:17:09.050
and it goes on to say even if
at this present moment in the
340
00:17:09.050 --> 00:17:12.950
here and now. The Greek word is the word, arty,
341
00:17:12.950 --> 00:17:16.670
which is explained in footnote No.45,
342
00:17:16.670 --> 00:17:20.330
which tells us that this word arti, means now,
343
00:17:20.330 --> 00:17:22.850
just now at this moment or exactly now
344
00:17:22.850 --> 00:17:24.380
or in the immediate present.
345
00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:27.200
And that's why the RIV says, even if
346
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.970
at this present moment in the here
347
00:17:28.970 --> 00:17:33.230
and now for a very little period of time,
348
00:17:33.230 --> 00:17:35.000
a very little period of time is explained
349
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.680
to footnote No.46.
350
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.160
It is form of the Greek word oligas,
351
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:43.250
which describes a very
brief period of time.
352
00:17:43.250 --> 00:17:47.900
It seems you're in the middle
of exceptionally challenging,
353
00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:50.460
difficult times.
354
00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:52.440
Do you feel like you're in the middle
355
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.740
of exceptionally challenging
and difficult times?
356
00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:58.530
Well listen to the word that is used here in the Greek text.
357
00:17:58.530 --> 00:18:02.880
We read in footnote No.49: The words,
358
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.140
exceptionally challenging,
359
00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:07.890
difficult times are derived from a form of the word, lupeo.
360
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.350
It's where you get the word for lupus,
361
00:18:10.350 --> 00:18:13.950
which is a disease which
causes a lot of pain.
362
00:18:13.950 --> 00:18:15.540
But here we find the Greek word lupeo.
363
00:18:16.770 --> 00:18:18.300
The words exceptionally challenging
364
00:18:18.300 --> 00:18:22.740
difficult times are derived
from a form of lupeo, a word
365
00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:27.420
that expresses deep emotional
pain and severe sorrow.
366
00:18:27.420 --> 00:18:30.570
It is used to describe
the pain of childbirth.
367
00:18:30.570 --> 00:18:34.290
And in this word are the ideas
of agony, anguish, grief,
368
00:18:34.290 --> 00:18:37.140
hurt, pain, sadness, or shock.
369
00:18:37.140 --> 00:18:38.250
And this word is used
370
00:18:38.250 --> 00:18:40.110
because Peter's readers are really going
371
00:18:40.110 --> 00:18:41.670
through a lot of persecution.
372
00:18:41.670 --> 00:18:43.980
They did not anticipate them this,
373
00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:47.010
and now they find themselves
as the RIV says in the middle
374
00:18:47.010 --> 00:18:51.060
of exceptionally
challenging, difficult times.
375
00:18:51.060 --> 00:18:53.370
And then the RIV goes on to say, do
376
00:18:53.370 --> 00:18:57.150
to many assorted evil trials.
377
00:18:57.150 --> 00:19:00.090
And the words many assorted
378
00:19:00.090 --> 00:19:02.400
is explained at footnote No.50.
379
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:03.450
Now listen to this.
380
00:19:04.770 --> 00:19:06.930
The words, many assorted,
are an interpretation
381
00:19:06.930 --> 00:19:11.930
of the plural form of poikilos, which carries the idea
382
00:19:12.210 --> 00:19:15.960
of something that is diverse, variated
383
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.140
of different colors or manifold.
384
00:19:19.140 --> 00:19:22.380
It is the identical word used in the Septuagint Version
385
00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:24.240
of the Old Testament
386
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.790
to describes Joseph's coat of many colors.
387
00:19:26.790 --> 00:19:29.520
You can read about that in Genesis 37.
388
00:19:29.520 --> 00:19:32.430
But as used in that text, it tells us
389
00:19:32.430 --> 00:19:35.850
that Jacob gave Joseph an unusual outer garment to be worn
390
00:19:35.850 --> 00:19:39.840
as a robe that was diverse, variegatged or
391
00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:42.750
of different manifold colors.
392
00:19:42.750 --> 00:19:46.230
This was quite unusual at a
time when most garments were
393
00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:48.690
spun of materials made of a single color.
394
00:19:48.690 --> 00:19:53.690
But by using the word poikilos, Peter now is telling us
395
00:19:53.850 --> 00:19:56.040
that God's people experience trials
396
00:19:56.040 --> 00:19:59.400
that are diverse, variegatged or even in different
397
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.080
or manifold colors.
398
00:20:01.080 --> 00:20:04.200
And it goes on to say that
these were evil trials
399
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.490
that are a calculated
attempt to try to break you
400
00:20:08.490 --> 00:20:13.490
and make you fail, falter or stumble.
401
00:20:13.950 --> 00:20:16.950
Wow, why is it interpreted like that?
402
00:20:16.950 --> 00:20:20.190
Well, that's explained in footnote No.51,
403
00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:23.610
which says - The words, evil trials,
404
00:20:23.610 --> 00:20:25.890
that are a calculated
attempt to try to break you
405
00:20:25.890 --> 00:20:27.120
and make you fail, falter,
406
00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:28.710
or stumble, are derived from a form
407
00:20:28.710 --> 00:20:31.095
of the Greek word - peirasmos.
408
00:20:31.950 --> 00:20:34.140
Now, for instance, this
word is really important.
409
00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:39.090
It is a word that depicts a test that is trying or tempting:
410
00:20:39.090 --> 00:20:41.010
it is a calculated test.
411
00:20:41.010 --> 00:20:43.680
There's nothing accidental about this.
412
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:48.100
It is a calculated test intentionally designed
413
00:20:48.100 --> 00:20:51.280
to cause one to fail, falter, or stumble.
414
00:20:51.280 --> 00:20:54.070
And this word is used in the gospels
415
00:20:54.070 --> 00:20:56.170
to specifically denote the actions
416
00:20:56.170 --> 00:20:58.540
of the devil, the tempter,
417
00:20:58.540 --> 00:20:59.800
and it's also used
418
00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:02.230
to depict the Pharisees in
the Sadducees when they,
419
00:21:02.230 --> 00:21:04.720
in a very calculated way, attempted
420
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.120
to ensnare Jesus in his words
421
00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:11.200
and make him stumble in
their interactions with him.
422
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.360
We are told in James 1:13
423
00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:16.600
that such temptations are not from God
424
00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:20.710
and they are to be steadfastly
resisted and to be overcome.
425
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.210
Wow! This is not a test sent from God.
426
00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:28.870
This is a test, a fire
sent from the enemy,
427
00:21:28.870 --> 00:21:30.700
and maybe that's what
you're going through.
428
00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:35.470
It is an evil trial, a
calculated attempt to try
429
00:21:35.470 --> 00:21:39.550
to break you and make you
fail, falter or stumble.
430
00:21:39.550 --> 00:21:43.030
But my friends, you have all
the goods inside you to push
431
00:21:43.030 --> 00:21:45.940
through and you can do it.
432
00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:49.120
That's where we're gonna pick
up in tomorrow's program.
433
00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:50.590
But I'll be back in just a moment
434
00:21:50.590 --> 00:21:52.390
and I'm going to pray for you.
435
00:21:52.390 --> 00:21:55.600
Are you in the middle of a
fiery trial wondering whether
436
00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:57.820

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.520
Hey, this is Rick Renner
463
00:23:18.520 --> 00:23:21.460
and I am in the Production
Fulfillment part
464
00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:23.590
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters,
465
00:23:23.590 --> 00:23:25.540
and I just love to come here
466
00:23:25.540 --> 00:23:27.850
because I see what people are ordering.
467
00:23:27.850 --> 00:23:29.050
For example here:
468
00:23:29.050 --> 00:23:31.480
someone has just ordered the 5-part series called, How
469
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:34.060
to Have Peace of Mind in Troubled Times.
470
00:23:34.060 --> 00:23:36.460
I know this person just became a partner
471
00:23:36.460 --> 00:23:38.710
because we're sending them our personal testimony,
472
00:23:38.710 --> 00:23:40.270
which is called - Unlikely.
473
00:23:40.270 --> 00:23:43.600
We always send that to anyone who becomes a partner.
474
00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:47.360
And then a person here just ordered, World Before the Flood.
475
00:23:47.360 --> 00:23:48.680
That's 15-parts.
476
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.180
And this person just ordered, Easter, The Rest of The Story.
477
00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:55.670
But I'd just love to come here
478
00:23:55.670 --> 00:23:59.210
and see all these teaching resources.
479
00:23:59.210 --> 00:24:00.800
My friends, we send them out
480
00:24:00.800 --> 00:24:04.910
by 10 thousands every month and every year.
481
00:24:04.910 --> 00:24:07.040
It is just amazing
482
00:24:07.040 --> 00:24:11.420
and it's a great honor that anyone would want our teaching.
483
00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:13.970
It's very humbling and I'm very grateful
484
00:24:13.970 --> 00:24:15.470
that God is using our ministry
485
00:24:15.470 --> 00:24:18.830
and our teaching to strengthen
lives around the world
486
00:24:18.830 --> 00:24:23.830
and our partners are the ones helping us to do it.
487
00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:26.150
We're told in Proverbs 10:21, the Lips
488
00:24:26.150 --> 00:24:28.010
of the Righteous Feed many.
489
00:24:28.010 --> 00:24:31.190
And I know that is the
assignment on my life.
490
00:24:31.190 --> 00:24:33.920
It's to take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
491
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:35.330
to people around the world.
492
00:24:35.330 --> 00:24:38.600
And right now we're trying
to pay off this facility
493
00:24:38.600 --> 00:24:42.020
so we can release more
funds to taking the teaching
494
00:24:42.020 --> 00:24:44.180
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
495
00:24:44.180 --> 00:24:46.790
We've already paid off 78%
496
00:24:46.790 --> 00:24:48.770
of our Ministry Expansion Project,
497
00:24:48.770 --> 00:24:50.330
but we'd like to finish it.
498
00:24:50.330 --> 00:24:52.850
And if you're not a part of
the Giving Team yet, today,
499
00:24:52.850 --> 00:24:55.010
I want to ask you to join our Giving Team
500
00:24:55.010 --> 00:24:57.530
so we can pay off this facility
501
00:24:57.530 --> 00:25:01.220
and release all those funds
into taking the teaching
502
00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:04.160
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
503
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:15.500
Well, today we have
covered a lot of material
504
00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:17.900
and I can hardly wait to
get back here tomorrow
505
00:25:17.900 --> 00:25:20.810
because we're gonna pick up where we left off in this verse.
506
00:25:20.810 --> 00:25:23.540
There's still so much
more for us to cover,
507
00:25:23.540 --> 00:25:26.180
but I want you to get the whole series which is called, How
508
00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:28.255
to Overcome the Fiery Trial
509
00:25:28.255 --> 00:25:31.250
Of Faith: You can get through anything you're going
510
00:25:31.250 --> 00:25:33.740
through, you've got all the goods. My friends,
511
00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:36.230
Jesus has loaded you with everything you need
512
00:25:36.230 --> 00:25:39.680
to overcome any fiery trial of faith.
513
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:41.780
And this series comes with a study guide.
514
00:25:41.780 --> 00:25:43.370
Please order both of them
515
00:25:43.370 --> 00:25:45.320

516
00:25:45.320 --> 00:25:48.350

& 2nd Peter, the Renner Interpretive Version,
518
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:55.010
a parallel study Bible with
commentary and footnotes.
519
00:25:55.010 --> 00:25:56.690
And it's for people of faith.
520
00:25:56.690 --> 00:26:00.230
This is the Bible you've been waiting for
521
00:26:00.230 --> 00:26:04.310
and you will love the footnotes and love the commentary.
522
00:26:04.310 --> 00:26:07.610
It just brings so much
flavor into the scriptures.
523
00:26:07.610 --> 00:26:11.360
And my friends, we wrote
it for you - it's for you.

or give us a call and let

526
00:26:17.330 --> 00:26:19.160
And Father, I thank you right now
527
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:21.980
that you've given us
everything we need to get
528
00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:23.150
through any fire and
529
00:26:23.150 --> 00:26:28.100
to overcome any test the devil
has designed to take us down.
530
00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:30.440
Thank you, father, that you've anointed us
531
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.540
and you've given us what
we need to resist it
532
00:26:32.540 --> 00:26:36.230
and to overcome it in the name of Jesus,
533
00:26:36.230 --> 00:26:39.230
Amen. Well, we're gonna be here again tomorrow.
534
00:26:39.230 --> 00:26:40.790
Please join me
535
00:26:40.790 --> 00:26:45.060
and until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
536
00:26:45.060 --> 00:26:48.390
"Where the word of a king is, there is power.
537
00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:51.660
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
538
00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:56.040
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
539
00:26:56.040 --> 00:26:58.200
Jesus has to give you.
540
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:02.280
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
541
00:27:02.280 --> 00:27:06.300
I repented my sin and
receive you as my Savior
542
00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:09.270
and Lord. Wash away my sin
543
00:27:09.270 --> 00:27:12.270
and make me completely new.
544
00:27:12.270 --> 00:27:16.110
I thank you that my sin is removed
545
00:27:16.110 --> 00:27:20.760
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
546
00:27:21.630 --> 00:27:25.620
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
547
00:27:25.620 --> 00:27:28.260
for the rest of my life.
548
00:27:28.260 --> 00:27:29.260
Amen.
549
00:27:31.950 --> 00:27:34.770

prayer of salvation with us,
