Stay tuned. Real Life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth, equip the saints and impact our culture today.
If this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings to us that’s like saying amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to listen.
Now, open your hearts to what God’s word has to say to you. Here is Jack Hibbs.
Hey, you guys welcome to our podcast today.
And, uh, we’re getting a lot of activity regarding these end time events.
So, uh, we’re gonna, you know what, we’re just gonna keep going until that, well, dries up, I guess, to a point.
And, uh, one of the things that, um, we’re responding to, uh, many of you sincerely have been, uh, really examining where your faith is which is awesome if this podcast can get you just to that point where, uh are you really a believer?
What is it that you believe?
How can you know for sure about anything uh that if we can answer that or at least point you toward the Bible, which is the, the truth.
Uh Then great, then we’ve done a good work and God is honored and listen, your soul is satisfied.
Uh Because Christ does that stuff for those of you who know what I’m talking about? Jesus satisfies souls.
And so listen, right now, we’re gonna take up the question. We’ve got three of them in total.
We’re gonna do one right now and then we’ll get into the mail bag, so to speak.
And I’ll look at some of the questions that have come to us.
So number one for today, now I’ll try to knock this off in 20 minutes or so because I know you’re busy and you’re on your way.
Uh How can you get ready? You talked a lot about the rapture. Pastor Jack.
How can, how can you get ready?
Number one way to get ready is to make sure that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, not your church, not your mosque, not your synagogue, not your nothing.
Jesus only see what does that mean? Very simply answered the book of John chapter three.
In fact, why don’t you when you read it, read John three project yourself?
Into John three and put on Nicodemus sandals, put on his robe and have a sit down with Jesus.
It’s so perfect. I’m not kidding.
Get in chapter three of John and sit in Nicodemus seat and let Jesus speak to you.
And Jesus is going to tell you don’t, you know that it’s impossible for you to enter the kingdom of heaven.
It’s not gonna matter about your religiosity. It’s not gonna matter about how moral you are.
It’s not gonna matter how great you are.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Jew or gentile, doesn’t matter what is required for you to get into heaven is that you be born again.
Jesus used the word it. Well, in the English version of the Bible, it’s born again.
Uh The word is actually born from above or have a second birth and Jesus explains it.
So number one, you start in John chapter three. OK?
That’s what you wanna do in your step to getting ready.
Number two is that you want to continue on from that moment. Let’s say you accept Christ today.
You continue on growing in the grace and knowledge of God. What does that mean?
It means that you listen, it means just like a baby is born now.
I don’t know how it is today. Uh My kids are in their forties.
So um I don’t know how it is today, but when our babies were born, uh they couldn’t go home from the hospital until they pooped, they peed and they started a nurse.
And when that happened, then the doctors or the nurse, whoever signed off on our kids and basically says, ok, uh they’ve come through production.
Uh they’ve gone through inspection and now they’re uh they’re released.
And so out of the hospital we went, they were able to poop, they were able to pee, they were able to eat.
And so what happened? Their lives began. Same is true about being born again.
We need, as we get born again, we need to desire this sincere, listen to this milk of the word the Bible says.
And so you start intaking the Bible.
Giving your heart to Christ is your salvation from that moment on is called discipleship.
That means you keep going now and true salvation in your life is the beginning of a amazing journey, an amazing story of God working in your life.
That’s how you get ready. Third thing is this is that you be always aware that Christ could come at any time.
Thus, we were talking about the rapture.
You need to be one who is discerning the times and the seasons in which you live and where you live, what’s going on globally, what’s going on and am I ready to meet Jesus?
And you might naturally say, well, what if Jesus doesn’t come back in my lifetime? You win. It’s awesome.
You win anyway. Why? Because you die ready?
We should we should live and die ready, meaning always ready to meet Jesus. Right?
It’s, it’s a, it’s a um it’s foolproof or what’s the term? Fail safe? It’s a fail safe.
If you’re born again and you’re growing as a disciple in Jesus Christ and you are looking for his coming throughout scripture.
We’re admonished, be looking, be looking, be looking, watch.
Uh You’re gonna be made complete at his appearing all of these scriptures.
When you live like that, you’re prepared for two things.
Number one, the rapture, number two, for death, it works out great. Can I throw 1/4 thing in that?
I wasn’t gonna throw in. Number four, you’ll be happy. It’s a great way to live. Why?
Because listen, when you live like that, um The, the Bible says in the Old Testament that they’re righteous, they, they are as bold as lions.
You get to live before Jesus every day, you live before God, every day and that really keeps you clean.
Keeps your spirit clean. When temptations come, you just say get out of here when that thought comes.
Hey, just click here. Take a peek. No one’s gonna be looking. That’s called Satan. Tempting.
Don’t do it, don’t do it recognize it. So wait a minute, I recognize that.
No, Lord, I’m asking you in Jesus name Lord Rebuke Satan from my life and you get up and go, you know how wonderful it is to live free like that and should I die or should the Lord come back with a trumpet blast?
I’m ready. So, it’s absolutely thrilling. How can I be ready to meet Jesus?
That’s how, that’s how start there with all those things that we just laid out. Those four things be free.
Um I’ll throw this in. Sorry, I don’t remember who said it. My genre of reading is Charles Spurgeon.
J C Ryle. A lot of Martin Lloyd Jones, Harry Ironside could have said it a W Tozer CS Lewis.
I might be missing somebody, but that’s kind of my, my main go to stuff and um it might have been CS Lewis who said that it appears that those who believe that Jesus could come at any time are those who did the most on earth before heaven?
I love that it might have been Jonathan Edwards doesn’t matter.
You can search it and see those who had a pre millennial pre tribulation, imminent doctrine view of Christ return do the most now because they, we sense that we’re running out of time.
So let’s get it done. Motivation.
And that commentator that great that came before us stated in his research.
It seems as though that those who believe that Jesus could come back at any time did the most for the Kingdom of Heaven while here on earth.
Beautiful word. OK. We have some questions. Um Let’s take this one just because it is so much fun.
I think I have the time. I’m looking at the producer guys, I think we’re ok with time.
Um This is a whopper. Um It’s right here so, you know, I’m not making it up but it is a lot of fun.
So I’m sorry, I don’t have your name. So, but you’ll know who you are.
Um You say, hey, Jack, if you believe all kids are raptured, how do you explain? Psalm 58 3.
This is what Psalm 58 3 says. By the way, the wicked are estranged from the womb. That’s everyone.
Every human being is estranged from the womb. In fact, you want to be even more.
Let’s take your microscope and go electron microscope. David said about that. I was conceived in sin.
Wow. So David was not only conceived in sin.
David admits David declares the truth that the wicked are estranged from the womb. That means we’re programmed to sin.
No doubt about it, my friend. So they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
You put a question mark. No, when you’re born, you can’t speak.
You can only nurse poop and pee, right? You have the all the lying.
You have murder capabilities, you have lying capabilities, you have suicide capabilities. You have fill in the blank.
Do you understand what I’m saying? You have the sin nature. You and I were born with the sin nature.
Here’s the amazing thing my friend, you’re missing a big big point is that God does not hold us accountable for the, the, the doing of sin until we are aware of the law.
Read the book of Galatians, read the book of Romans and that will be very clear.
God will not hold a five year old accountable for his sins if the rapture happens at the time of a five year old’s life because the five year old doesn’t.
That’s, by the way, that’s why evangelicals do not baptize uh babies at birth.
They don’t, what are they repenting of?
You’re supposed to believe in the repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
That’s the gospel. The gospel begins with the word meno repent. How does a, how does a 34?
How does a six month old repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with water baptism being the source of salvation?
That’s crazy. That’s church tradition. That’s not biblical theology. To repent means.
You must come to the understanding that you have violated the law of God and that you are willfully asking God to forgive you of your sins because you recognize that Jesus died on the cross for your sins.
He rose again from the dead and that now you’re putting your faith in Him to save you from your sins.
We do not baptize kids unless they’re able to tell us in the waters of baptism.
Can you tell me why you’re being baptized today and listen, when a nine year old says because I’m a wretch, I’m a sinner.
I ask them, what do you mean by that? Because I’ve been reading my bible since I was five.
And I’ve come to the realization, I’m a liar. I, I, I stole money from my mom’s purse.
That’s, that makes me a thief. And Jesus died on the cross for my sins.
And I want him to forgive me and I want to be baptized because I prayed to receive him when I was four or five.
But I didn’t realize what I was doing until in Sunday school here at church.
I heard the gospel and it clicked friends that can happen.
That can happen like Charles Spurgeon uh at an age in his early teens.
That could happen when you’re 25 it can happen.
Uh You know, when you’re aware, like in this kid, I’m referring to nine years of age, you have to be aware of sinning.
So friend, listen, you go on to say this and this is where your question gets really, really, I mean, look, it’s kind of dumb.
Follow me with this according to your belief, Pastor Jack and you, he’s, you said you’re really off.
You blew this one. Pastor Jack had Joe Biden, Adolph Hitler, Barack Obama, Klaus Schwab Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Alistair Crowley.
He invented the Church of Satan in San Francisco, of course, um died as Children.
They would go to heaven. Correct? Friend you said ridiculous Well, that’s, that’s your theology.
The Bible doesn’t hold, those guy would not have held those guys accountable at the age that they didn’t know what they were doing.
Think about that. Adolf Hitler didn’t know, see, you know, Adolf Hitler now, but Adolf Hitler in the womb, you’re holding his sins accountable to him in the womb or at the age of three or at the age of six.
Come on. That’s ridiculous. You want to talk about ridiculous. That’s ridiculous because you’re acting like God.
That’s, that’s really nuts because that, that thing, same thing could be applied to you.
According to your logic, you’re not going to heaven. It gets worse.
You said not only that but seeing as the majority of people grow up to reject the Lord.
If all babies and Children go to heaven via the rapture or death, that would make abor abortion a huge blessing.
That’s wild. Why?
Because people who otherwise would have grown up to reject the Lord and be consigned to the lake of fire would instead be in heaven.
And let’s not forget. You said love, not freely given is not love.
Uh That I do agree with that love, not freely given is not love.
I don’t know what that has to do with your assessment of.
Um we should abort people before they have the chance of rejecting the Gospel.
So they don’t wind up in hell. Think, think of what your logic is.
You, your sight, love, not freely given is not love you.
Your logic is saying, let’s kill people before they have the chance to exercise the choice of love God or not.
That’s kind of Hitler esque, right? Let’s annihilate.
Now, this is very strange because you’re actually in your argument saying that people in the future who are going to sin beyond the age of accountability and reject the gospel of Jesus, it’s better for them to die in the womb or to be killed before they reach that point.
Your argument actually is um uh robotic. What is it?
It’s uh it is um it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s uh a doomsday to I’m missing the word.
It’s uh it’s a thought process of, of um hopelessness. It’s weird.
Jesus died on the cross for sinners.
If I apply your logic, then all sinners would be removed before birth.
Then what did Jesus die for the unborn?
Only did Jesus die for only those who are under the age of five or six or 11.
The age of accountability is, is, is not a number.
By the way, it’s the person’s ability to comprehend that they are rejecting God I mentioned before.
That’s in the, that’s in the manifestation of teen rebellion.
Teen rebellion is announcing to you mom and dad that the kid is saying I am slipping away from your faith covering, I’m now able to start thinking on my own.
Thus, I don’t think I need to obey you anymore.
I don’t think I need to clean my room because who are you to tell me what to do?
And teen rebellion is, my teachers are stupid. Uh The Pope is stupid. Uh My parents are stupid.
Uh That judge is stupid. The President’s stupid. Everything’s stupid. I’m the only one that’s smart.
Can, why can’t people see that? That’s called teen rebellion. What’s going on?
Age of accountability is popping up and they need to get their questions answered.
Mom and dad listen, you, you better be taking your kid to a good Bible teaching church that has an awesome youth group that teaches bible, not tiddly winks or fooball or um marbles.
I’m old. That’s only the stories I have, I don’t know Xbox.
God forbid a youth group ministry should be powerful to answer questions like this that honestly can be easily refuted because the Psalmist is talking about the fact that we’re born sinners.
That’s why Christ came and died on the cross.
But we don’t know about that until we’re convicted by the Holy Spirit.
John chapter 14, John chapter 16, the Holy Spirit will come and convict us of sin.
That does not happen to three year olds. It happens to people who are in the age of accountability.
And when you’re convicted of your sin, then you run to Christ for forgiveness and you get forgiveness because meno you repent of your sins and you ask him to forgive you.
And then knowing that he rose from the dead is your justification from the penalty of sin and you’re placed into the body of Christ.
So listen, uh I love your question. It’s crazy nuts.
But uh if this is your, if this is really your, your thought process, then um then either a, you’re not a Christian and you need to become a Christian or B you are, you are a Christian and you’ve been wrongly taught about the sovereignty of God and the imparted sovereignty of man.
God gave us that sovereignty which justifies your uh comment at the end, which I agree with love, not freely given is not love.
I can read it upside our backwards better than I can read it forwards. Um Y you’re contradicting yourself.
So that’s very, very important. Um Listen, like always you guys, we’d love for you to hit the subscribe button.
