DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sermon delves into the concept of forgiveness through the sacrifice
of Jesus as the Lamb of God, emphasizing the need for personal
application of this sacrifice. It highlights the danger of being aware
of Christ's sacrifice but failing to fully accept and apply it in one's
life, leading to a self-centered religious commitment that falls short
of true obedience. The hardest sin to guard against is identified as a
partial commitment that misses the mark, hindering spiritual awakening.

CONTENT

If Jesus died for all, are all forgiven? If the Lamb of God satisfied
the substitution for the required penalty of sin that you and I deserve,
isn't it now okay? Put yourself in the place of a firstborn son in our
Hebrew household. The Lamb is slain. The blood lies there in the basin.

And you realize, this is my substitute. This little innocent represents
my guilt and has died instead of me. All right? Question.

Are you out of danger? No, you are not. You are even greater danger than
you were before, because the blood has been spilled, but it is still in
the basin. It is not on your door.

You're in even greater danger than you were before, because if you don't
do everything God has said, you're not only a sinner, but an aware and
enlightened sinner, and under double and even greater condemnation. What
is the hardest sin to be safe from? Is it sodomy or lesbianism? No. Is
it drug addiction or bitterness or drunkenness? No.

Is it violence or gluttony? No. Is it murder? No. The hardest sin to be
safe from is a self-centered religious commitment, one that does
something like what God wants you to do, without actually doing it, that
goes halfway towards obedience, and then turns away short of the mark.

And it doesn't matter whether you miss by an inch or two or a yard, when
you try to jump the gap between two 60-story buildings, because a miss
is as good as a mile. And one of the major things that is holding up
spiritual awakening in this country is the partial commitment of those
who claim to be Christ. They know the blood has been spilled.

They know the lamb has died. God has time and care for all struggling
young Christians, but you must have the blood on your door.
