Pastor Carrizales declares that even our best deeds are like filthy rags before God.
The episode is a solo sermon by Pastor Héctor Carrizales of Iglesia Pentecostal Unida Visión Hispana. He opens by reading Isaiah 64:6, stating that human righteousness is like filthy rags before God. Carrizales explains that all people are sinners by nature, inherited from Adam, and cites Psalms 14:2-3 and Romans 3:10 to support that no one is just. He discusses how sin is a spiritual problem that humans cannot fix on their own. The pastor references Job 14:4, asking who can bring something clean from the unclean, to illustrate human inability. He transitions to the solution, citing Romans 8:1 about no condemnation for those in Christ. Carrizales describes the former state of believers as dead in sins, guided by the prince of the power of the air. He explains Christ's sacrifice on the cross reconciles enemies and makes believers spotless. The sermon includes a personal anecdote about the term 'inútiles' (useless) to describe how good works are worthless for salvation. Carrizales lists sins from 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, like fornication and theft, that exclude people from God's kingdom. He emphasizes that believers have been washed, sanctified, and justified in Jesus' name. The pastor urges listeners to confess specific sins directly to God and cry out for salvation. He reassures that God loves sinners and will not remember their iniquities. The episode ends with a call to visit the church in McAllen, Texas, and its website.
