In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes that Jesus did not come to make bad men good, but to make dead men live. He highlights that Christianity is unique because it allows a person's God to come and live inside of them. The preacher also discusses the consequences of sin and the need for repentance. He emphasizes that sin is not normal in the Christian life and that when a Christian slips into sin, they should flee to Christ's mercy with a broken heart. The sermon references the book of John and emphasizes the importance of living a life free from sin.

As I said to some preachers I've preached with this week, that if we go back, it may be mentioned in here before, if we go back to Bible language and call sin what it really is. Instead of saying somebody, you say, that girl's a whore, you say, no, no, she's a call girl. Huh? You say about a dirty, filthy sodomite, oh, no, no, he's not a sodomite, he's just gay. There's nobody wicked, they're just weak. There's no iniquity, it's just infirmity. No backsliders anymore, that's a dirty word. A lot of people out of fellowship, but backsliders, you don't use that word. This is what sin does. You either get rid of it or it gets rid of you. Now if you die with sin in your heart, you won't go to a third class heaven because there isn't one. You'll go right back to hell itself. You know, I'm convinced of this, we do not preach salvation in the day in which we live. We preach forgiveness. Do you want to be forgiven? Shed a few tears? Get your name in the book of life? Get your name on the waiting list for the crown? You get a ticket to the maverick supper of the Lamb? Rule over five cities? And a few other benefits. Let me tell you this, listen to all the thought I have. Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live. Not to make bad men good, to make dead men live. Christianity is the only religion in the world, whether you're a thousand or two thousand. It is the only religion in the world where a man's God comes and lives inside of him. You can give up your lousy smoking and rotten women and drinking and not be regenerate. You see, we're awfully easy on the sin problem. You see, you're one of God's little children and if you commit adultery it doesn't matter too much. But if you're neighbor does it, go to hell fire because he didn't have to be a member of the church and say he was saved. We need to change our tone about sin. You read one John and see what John says about it. He says that he, the man that is born of God, doth MOT, he doth not commit sin. And I remember when Nora Brown said to me, being talking with a woman. And she said, my favorite scripture is when we sin we have an advocate. He said, would you find it for me? And she said, it's in John. Oh, I see. Well, could you find it for me? Yeah, it's in the first epistle of John. Hmm, read it. If we sin we have, what? Oh, I thought it said when we sin. No, no, it didn't say when we sin. It says if we sin. Sinning is not normal in the Christian life. It's abnormal. It's abnormal. You see, Jesus didn't say if ye fast, he said when ye fast. But the scripture here doesn't say when we sin. It says if. If by some reason you slip. What's the difference between a man committing adultery if he's a Christian or stealing if he's a Christian or lying if he's a Christian to the sin and adultery and lying of a man in the street? There is no difference. There is a difference. Not in the deed, not how diabolical it is. The difference is this. That when a Christian does it, when he's being caught in temptation and does it, he flees to Christ for mercy. He goes with a broken heart. You see, the thing that got to the heart of God with David was this. He says, I've got a broken and a tongue-tied heart. Did you ever have a broken heart? It's worse than a broken wing. It's worse than a broken business deal. It's worse than a broken friendship. A broken heart. My sin, my sin, my sin put him on the tree. And I hate it. I loathe it. I'm alive very far beyond Sodom and Gomorrah. They never saw. They never had any Bibles. Sodom didn't have a preacher. Sodom didn't have a church. Sodom didn't have a Bible. Sodom had nobody to pray to. They perished. How long do you think God's going to put up with our sin? And I'll tell you what, God said sin made such havoc in this world that he loved that he's not going to let one person, and he's not going to get rid of it in the grave. He'll get rid of it now. I want to be saved from sin. I want to be a God-directed man that in the life I have, I may live to the glory of God. For the devil very much people bringing glory to his rotten head.
