  Real quick, an announcement. It's come to my attention that there's a bunch of folks
• 0:04
  who are letting these messages go to their voicemails and then forwarding the voicemail
• 0:10
  via text to friends and family so that they can hear the encouragement calls. That's wonderful.
• 0:15
  I am not upset about that at all. You feel free to do that if that's something that you
• 0:19
  can be a blessing to others. This is a free service, free encouragement calls, and we're
• 0:24
  glad to serve you. I'm thinking today of Hosea 1 6. Then she conceived again and gave birth
• 0:32
  to a daughter and the Lord said to him, name her Lo Ruha Ma, for I will no longer have
• 0:37
  compassion on the house of Israel that I would ever forgive them. Ouch. That the God of heaven,
• 0:43
  who is love essentially, would ever come to that point. The forgiveness of God is not
• 0:48
  limitless because the justice of God must be satisfied. That's exactly what God was
• 0:54
  doing through Jesus on the cross. The price of sin, the penalty of sin is death and there
• 0:59
  is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. And God crushed his own son, Jesus,
• 1:06
  that we might be able to be saved, that our sins might be able to be forgiven. The wages
• 1:10
  of that sin, which everyone has, is death. And the gift of God is eternal life through
• 1:16
  Jesus Christ, his son. Praise you, Lord. Praise you, Lord Jesus, for your sacrifice. Praise
• 1:22
  you, Father in heaven for finding a way to forgive us when there was no way. He is the
• 1:27
  one mediator between man and God. We are forgiven in Jesus Christ our Lord.
