>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:01:02.69\00:01:05.06
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:01:05.09\00:01:09.70
>>ONE OF THE MORE BIZARRE LAW IN
MINNESOTA FORBIDS ANY GAME WHERE
00:01:09.73\00:01:14.47
PARTICIPANTS CHASE A
GREASED PIG IN ORDER CATCH IT.
00:01:14.50\00:01:18.24
IT'S ALSO ILLEGAL TO THROW
KNIVES AT MEN WEARING STRIPED
00:01:18.27\00:01:22.68
SUITS IN NATOMA, KANSAS.
IN WEST VIRGINIA, USING YOUR
00:01:22.71\00:01:27.48
FERRET FOR HUNTING CAN LAND
YOU IN JAIL FOR UP TO 100 DAYS.
00:01:27.52\00:01:32.32
AND, YOU BETTER NOT TRANSPORT
ICE CREAM IN YOUR POCKET IN
00:01:32.35\00:01:35.49
KENTUCKY. IT'S
AGAINST THE LAW TO GATHER
00:01:35.52\00:01:38.39
SEAWEED AT NIGHT
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
00:01:38.43\00:01:41.03
AND, IN VERMONT, A WOMAN NEEDS
WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM HER
00:01:41.06\00:01:43.93
HUSBAND BEFORE SHE CAN
LAWFULLY WEAR FALSE TEETH.
00:01:43.97\00:01:48.04
DOESN'T IT SEEM LIKE
HUMANS EXCEL AT MAKING THINGS
00:01:48.07\00:01:50.54
UNNECESSARILY COMPLEX? ON
THE OTHER HAND, GOD'S MORAL
00:01:50.57\00:01:55.11
CODE IS STREAMLINED,
SIMPLE, AND TOTALLY PRACTICAL.
00:01:55.14\00:01:59.51
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE ALSO A
PERFECT REFLECTION OF THE LOVING
00:01:59.55\00:02:03.65
CHARACTER OF GOD TO HELP US
TO SEE SIN IN OUR LIVES AND TO
00:02:03.69\00:02:07.72
POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SO JOIN ME TODAY AS WE LOOK
00:02:07.76\00:02:11.69
DEEPER INTO THIS
ESSENTIAL LAW OF LOVE.
00:02:11.73\00:02:19.17
>>YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I'D GIVE
YOU A LITTLE AMAZING FACT AT THE
00:02:19.20\00:02:21.07
BEGINNING. FOR YEARS, AS THESE
ANCIENT SHIPS WOULD MAKE THEIR
00:02:21.10\00:02:25.04
WAY ACROSS THE OCEAN, ONE OF
THE ONLY THINGS THAT KEPT THOSE
00:02:25.07\00:02:28.48
SHIPS FROM SINKING WAS ROCKS.
NOW YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED,
00:02:28.51\00:02:33.95
'HOW DO ROCKS KEEP
A SHIP FROM SINKING?'
00:02:33.98\00:02:36.79
BUT MANY OF THE ANCIENT
SAILBOATS, THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT
00:02:36.82\00:02:40.52
WHEN THEY HAD A TALL MAST AND
THAT LEVERAGE WHEN THEY WERE IN
00:02:40.56\00:02:43.59
THE WIND AND THE WAVES, TO GIVE
THEM THE BALLAST AND THE CENTER
00:02:43.63\00:02:47.30
OF GRAVITY THEY NEEDED TO
PREVENT THEM FROM CAPSIZING,
00:02:47.30\00:02:51.20
THEY WOULD TAKE VERY CAREFULLY
CHOSEN STONES THAT WOULDN'T
00:02:51.23\00:02:54.70
CRACK AND TURN INTO
GRAVEL, THEY'D PLACE THEM,
00:02:54.74\00:02:57.37
STRATEGICALLY, ACROSS THE BOTTOM
KEEL OF THE SHIP - AND THEY WERE
00:02:57.41\00:03:01.48
CALLED BALLAST STONES - AND
IT GAVE THE SHIP A CENTER OF
00:03:01.51\00:03:06.51
GRAVITY - KEPT IT FROM CAPSIZING
IN THE WIND AND IN THE WAVES AND
00:03:06.55\00:03:10.95
IT'S BEEN
INTERESTING TO GEOLOGISTS.
00:03:10.99\00:03:13.66
AS THEY'VE GONE TO DIFFERENT
PORTS AROUND THE WORLD, THEY
00:03:13.69\00:03:15.99
WILL FIND - IN THE CARIBBEAN,
FOR INSTANCE, AND PROBABLY ON
00:03:16.02\00:03:18.46
THE COAST OF FLORIDA, ALL
OF THESE INTERESTING GRANITE
00:03:18.49\00:03:21.43
STONES. NOW, IF
YOU'RE A FLORIDIAN, DO
00:03:21.46\00:03:23.37
YOU HAVE ANY GRANITE IN
FLORIDA? NO, EVEN THE ROADS ARE
00:03:23.40\00:03:26.97
MADE OF CORAL HERE,
RIGHT? EVERYTHING'S CORAL.
00:03:27.00\00:03:29.50
BUT THEY FOUND, IN THE PORTS,
THEY - MATTER OF FACT, THE
00:03:29.54\00:03:32.57
HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN FLORIDA,
I THINK, IS AN OVERPASS, RIGHT?
00:03:32.61\00:03:35.61
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) THE FREEWAY -
THEY FOUND, IN THE PORTS, THESE
00:03:35.64\00:03:39.58
GRANITE STONES AND THEY
SAID, 'HOW'D THEY GET HERE?
00:03:39.61\00:03:42.28
AND THEY WERE IDENTIFIED WITH
ROCKS THAT YOU'D FIND IN ITALY
00:03:42.32\00:03:44.99
OR SPAIN OR PORTUGAL OR FRANCE
OR ENGLAND - IT'S BECAUSE, WHEN
00:03:45.02\00:03:48.86
MANY OF THE SHIPS CAME OVER
THEY TOOK SOME OF THEIR BALLAST
00:03:48.89\00:03:51.33
STONES, THEY'D DUMP THEM OUT AND
THEY'D ADD CARGO THAT THEY PUT
00:03:51.36\00:03:54.20
LOWER IN THE HOLD AND
IT GAVE THEM STABILITY.
00:03:54.20\00:03:58.00
IT KEPT THEM FROM CAPSIZING.
IT KEPT THEM FROM BLOWING
00:03:58.03\00:04:01.04
OVER AND SINKING - A
STONE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED A
00:04:01.07\00:04:05.54
BALLAST STONE IN YOUR
LIFE. SO, TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY
00:04:05.57\00:04:09.81
IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND
IT'S DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT
00:04:09.84\00:04:12.38
OF THE LAW OF GOD. NOW
THE TITLE OF THE SERIES IS
00:04:12.41\00:04:15.88
THE LAW OF THE LAMB , BECAUSE
JESUS IS GOD THE SON. AMEN?
00:04:15.92\00:04:19.85
>>AMEN. >>GOD PUT
HIS WORD - THE TEN
00:04:19.89\00:04:23.16
COMMANDMENTS - ON
TWO TABLES OF STONE.
00:04:23.19\00:04:26.70
THIS IS THE LAW OF THE
LAMB. IT IS WRITTEN BY THE
00:04:26.73\00:04:28.90
LORD, BY HIS OWN FINGER.
NOW, JAMES USES AN ILLUSTRATION
00:04:28.93\00:04:32.93
WHERE HE SAYS, 'THE LAW OF GOD
IS LIKE A MIRROR; WHOSO LOOKS
00:04:32.97\00:04:36.54
INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY
AND CONTINUES THEREIN, NOT BEING
00:04:36.57\00:04:39.97
A FORGETFUL HEARER, BUT A DOER
OF THE WORK, THE SAME MAN WILL
00:04:40.01\00:04:43.11
BE BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES.'
AND YOU CAN SEE THE REFERENCE
00:04:43.14\00:04:46.08
THERE FOR JAMES 1:23.
AND THEN, IF YOU'RE WONDERING
00:04:46.11\00:04:48.72
WHAT LAW OF LIBERTY IS JAMES
TALKING ABOUT, HE THEN GOES ON
00:04:48.75\00:04:52.32
TO QUOTE FROM TWO OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:04:52.35\00:04:55.56
SO, LET ME SEE IF I CAN
ILLUSTRATE WHY THIS WOULD BE
00:04:55.59\00:05:00.53
IMPORTANT USING THE PRINCIPLE
THAT JAMES WAS TALKING ABOUT
00:05:00.56\00:05:10.11
THERE. ALRIGHT, NOW, DO
YOU SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT?
00:05:10.14\00:05:12.97
>>YES. >>LET'S
SUPPOSE THAT THIS IS
00:05:13.01\00:05:17.78
DIRT. I DON'T SEE IT.
00:05:17.81\00:05:23.42
NOW YOU SEE THAT
I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
00:05:23.45\00:05:26.02
I WENT UP TO A GUY IN THE
AIRPORT - NEVER MET HIM BEFORE -
00:05:26.05\00:05:28.86
BUT HE WENT THROUGH SECURITY
- YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF
00:05:28.89\00:05:30.99
YOUR JACKET AND PUT YOUR JACKET
BACK ON - AND HIS COLLAR WAS ALL
00:05:31.03\00:05:34.00
FLIPPED AROUND - HE DIDN'T KNOW
IT. AND, YOU KNOW, YOUR IQ LOOKS
00:05:34.03\00:05:36.43
LOWER WHEN YOU WALK
AROUND LIKE THAT. (LAUGHTER)
00:05:36.46\00:05:38.83
AND NO GUY - NO GUY WANTS THAT
TO HAPPEN AND SO, I SAID, 'HEY,
00:05:38.87\00:05:42.40
PARDON ME, BROTHER,' - I SAID
- 'LET ME HELP YOU WITH THIS.'
00:05:42.44\00:05:44.27
YOU KNOW, AND I
FIXED HIS COLLAR.
00:05:44.31\00:05:46.31
AND HE LOOKED AT
ME REALLY STRANGE.
00:05:46.34\00:05:47.88
I THOUGHT, 'I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T
MEAN TO MEDDLE,' - I SAID -
00:05:47.91\00:05:49.88
'YOUR COLLAR WAS FLIPPED AROUND
BACKWARDS.' I WALKED AWAY, I
00:05:49.91\00:05:51.68
WENT IN THE RESTROOM, MY COLLAR
WAS FLIPPED AROUND BACKWARDS -
00:05:51.71\00:05:55.08
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) I'D
GONE THROUGH SECURITY TOO.
00:05:55.12\00:05:59.52
HE'S LOOKING AT ME AND THINKS,
'BOY, REMOVE THE MOTE FROM YOUR
00:05:59.55\00:06:02.96
OWN EYE BEFORE YOU - YOU'VE GOT
A BEAM IN YOUR OWN EYE, YOU'RE
00:06:02.99\00:06:06.73
FIXIN' MINE.' SO, I DON'T
SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME.
00:06:06.76\00:06:12.53
I DIDN'T SEE MY JACKET
WAS MESSED UP THAT DAY.
00:06:12.57\00:06:15.10
IF I'M GOING TO SEE IT - WHEN
DID I NOTICE THAT MY COLLAR WAS
00:06:15.14\00:06:17.47
ALL CALLYWAMP -
WHEN I LOOKED IN WHAT?
00:06:17.51\00:06:20.51
I WISH I HAD A MIRROR.
IT JUST SO HAPPENS I'VE GOT
00:06:20.54\00:06:24.48
A FRIEND IN HIGH PLACES.
ALRIGHT, SO, I FEEL OKAY NOW.
00:06:24.51\00:06:30.15
I FEEL JUST LIKE I DID
TEN MINUTES AGO, BUT YOU SAY
00:06:30.19\00:06:31.92
SOMETHING'S CHANGED.
I'VE GOT SOMETHING WRONG.
00:06:31.95\00:06:35.66
IT'S DIRT. IT'S SIN,
RIGHT? SO, I GO LIKE THIS AND I
00:06:35.69\00:06:40.26
LOOK AND I THINK, 'OH,
WOW. THAT'S EMBARRASSING.
00:06:40.30\00:06:42.70
THAT LOOKS REALLY SILLY. I
DON'T FEEL SO GOOD ANYMORE.
00:06:42.73\00:06:46.33
I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S WRONG.'
OBVIOUSLY I FELT GOOD BEFORE I
00:06:46.37\00:06:50.01
LOOKED IN THE MIRROR, SO
WHAT'S WRONG IS THE MIRROR.
00:06:50.04\00:06:55.58
IF I JUST GET RID OF THE
MIRROR, EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
00:06:55.61\00:06:58.88
>>NO. >>RIGHT?
00:06:58.91\00:07:00.78
>>NOPE. >>BUT, YOU
KNOW, YOU EVER HEARD
00:07:00.82\00:07:03.69
THE EXPRESSION
'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'?
00:07:03.72\00:07:06.65
THERE'S A LOT CHRISTIANS WHO ARE
GOING BY 'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'.
00:07:06.69\00:07:09.76
THEY SAY, 'GET RID OF THE LAW.
I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE LAW.
00:07:09.79\00:07:11.83
LAW MAKES ME FEEL BAD.' BUT, YOU
KNOW, IT'S LOOKING IN THE LAW
00:07:11.86\00:07:15.06
THAT GIVES YOU CONVICTION - THAT
MAKES YOU SAY, 'WOW, SOMETHING
00:07:15.10\00:07:18.17
NEEDS TO BE DONE.' AND THEN
THERE'S SOME WHO THINK, 'WELL, I
00:07:18.20\00:07:21.34
FELT OKAY UNTIL I LOOKED IN THE
MIRROR SO, SINCE THIS SHOWED IT
00:07:21.37\00:07:24.54
TO ME, THIS SHOULD
PROBABLY BE WHAT TAKES IT AWAY.
00:07:24.57\00:07:28.48
AND SO, HOW AM I GOING TO DO
TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT OFF
00:07:28.51\00:07:31.68
WITH THE
MIRROR?' IS THAT WHAT THE
00:07:31.71\00:07:32.65
FUNCTION OF THIS IS? >>NO.
00:07:32.68\00:07:34.25
>>THIS IS - IT SHOWS IT TO
ME BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE IT AWAY.
00:07:34.28\00:07:37.79
SO IT'S USELESS. JUST GET
RID OF IT. I'LL FEEL BETTER.
00:07:37.82\00:07:41.26
THE FUNCTION OF THE MIRROR
IS NOT TO TAKE IT AWAY, IT IS
00:07:41.29\00:07:43.09
SIMPLY TO SHOW ME THAT
I'VE GOT SOMETHING WRONG.
00:07:43.12\00:07:45.49
SO LET'S SUPPOSE THIS
IS DIRT - THIS IS A SIN.
00:07:45.53\00:07:48.30
THIS DOESN'T TAKE IT AWAY,
IT'S SIMPLY SUPPOSED TO SHOW ME.
00:07:48.33\00:07:51.97
SO WHAT DO I DO
TO TAKE AWAY MY SIN?
00:07:52.00\00:07:54.44
WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN?
00:07:54.47\00:07:56.17
>>NOTHING BUT
THE BLOOD OF JESUS.'
00:07:56.20\00:07:57.74
>>THE BLOOD -
BOY, I WISH I HAD AN
00:07:57.77\00:07:58.77
ILLUSTRATION FOR THAT.
THANK YOU, MRS. BATCHELOR.
00:07:58.81\00:08:03.18
SO, THIS IS THE LAW;
THIS IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
00:08:03.21\00:08:06.98
I NEED THIS TO SAY,
'OH, I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
00:08:07.02\00:08:09.65
I'M CONVICTED.' AND THEN, I DID
THIS ONCE WITH PERMANENT MARKER
00:08:09.68\00:08:13.19
AND IT DIDN'T WORK VERY
WELL. I SAID - THEN I LOOK IN
00:08:13.22\00:08:17.89
THE MIRROR AND I SAY,
'OH, EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
00:08:17.93\00:08:21.56
I FEEL BETTER.' AND SO, I HAVE
NO PROBLEM WITH THIS NOW, WHERE
00:08:21.60\00:08:25.37
I HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE.
00:08:25.40\00:08:27.84
SOME PEOPLE HATE THE LAW BECAUSE
IT'S CONVICTING THEM THAT
00:08:27.87\00:08:30.57
THERE'S SOMETHING
THEY'RE DOING WRONG.
00:08:30.61\00:08:32.84
AND THEN THEY SAY, 'I HATE THE
LAW.' THE PROBLEM'S NOT THE LAW.
00:08:32.87\00:08:34.84
THE PROBLEM IS YOU
NEED THE BLOOD OF JESUS -
00:08:34.88\00:08:36.24
>>AMEN. >>TO TAKE AWAY THE SIN.
00:08:36.28\00:08:38.75
YOU'LL HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH THE LAW THEN.
00:08:38.78\00:08:41.18
THE LAW IS SIMPLY
SUPPOSED TO POINT YOU TO JESUS.
00:08:41.22\00:08:43.39
NOW, IF YOU GET RID OF THE
MIRROR, YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR
00:08:43.42\00:08:46.32
SIN AND THE DEVIL WILL HAVE YOU
LIVING UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT
00:08:46.35\00:08:50.06
EVERYTHING'S FINE AND YOU'LL BE
DOING WHAT I JUST DID, PREACHING
00:08:50.09\00:08:53.19
WITH A BIG MARK ON YOUR FACE -
AND EVERYONE SEES IT BUT YOU AND
00:08:53.23\00:08:58.03
YOU'RE LIVING IN A DREAM.
ARE THERE PEOPLE, WHEN CHRIST
00:08:58.07\00:09:01.37
COMES, THEY'RE GOING TO SAY,
'LORD, LORD,' - AND HE'S GOING
00:09:01.40\00:09:04.17
TO SAY, 'I DON'T
KNOW YOU.' >>THAT'S RIGHT.
00:09:04.21\00:09:06.34
>>WHY DOES HE SAY,
'I DON'T KNOW YOU'?
00:09:06.37\00:09:08.34
HE SAYS, 'DEPART FROM ME YOU
WORKERS OF INIQUITY.' YOU KNOW
00:09:08.38\00:09:11.48
WHAT THAT WORD 'INIQUITY'
IS? YOU READ IT IN THE
00:09:11.51\00:09:12.98
GREEK - 'LAWLESSNESS'.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY KNOW
00:09:13.01\00:09:16.62
JESUS' NAME AND THEY SAY, 'OH,
I TAUGHT IN YOUR STREETS, I DID
00:09:16.65\00:09:18.72
MANY WONDERFUL WORKS.'
HE'LL SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU.
00:09:18.75\00:09:21.89
DEPART FROM ME,
WORKERS OF INIQUITY.
00:09:21.92\00:09:24.23
WHY DO YOU CALL ME 'LORD, LORD'
AND DO NOT THE THINGS THAT I
00:09:24.26\00:09:26.19
SAY?' WHERE'S THE WILL OF
GOD? IT'S IN THE LAW OF GOD.
00:09:26.23\00:09:32.27
SO WHAT IS THE OLD COVENANT?
BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE LIVING
00:09:32.30\00:09:36.10
UNDER THE NEW
COVENANT NOW, RIGHT?
00:09:36.14\00:09:38.47
YOU CAN READ IN DEUTERONOMY
4:13, "AND HE DECLARED UNTO YOU
00:09:38.51\00:09:41.74
HIS COVENANT, WHICH HE COMMANDED
YOU TO PERFORM, EVEN TEN
00:09:41.78\00:09:45.91
COMMANDMENTS, AND HE WROTE
THEM UPON TWO TABLES OF STONE."
00:09:45.95\00:09:49.15
SO THE OLD COVENANT IS THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS THAT WERE WRITTEN
00:09:49.18\00:09:52.89
ON STONE. AND YOU
KNOW WHAT A COVENANT IS?
00:09:52.92\00:09:55.79
A COVENANT IS AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE.
00:09:55.82\00:09:59.23
GOD FIRST SPOKE THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IN THE HEARING OF
00:09:59.26\00:10:01.50
THE NATION OF ISRAEL AND THE
PEOPLE SAID, 'ALL THAT THE LORD
00:10:01.53\00:10:04.33
HAS SAID WE WILL DO.' YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU MAKE AN AGREEMENT WITH
00:10:04.37\00:10:06.97
SOMEBODY - YOU SAY,
'LOOK, I'LL SELL YOU MY HOUSE.
00:10:07.00\00:10:09.27
I WANT 300,000 DOLLARS.'
AND THEY SAY, 'OH, HOW ABOUT
00:10:09.30\00:10:12.74
280,000?' AND YOU SAY,
'OKAY, WE'LL DO IT FOR 290,000.
00:10:12.77\00:10:15.71
WE'LL SETTLE.' 'ALRIGHT.' YOU
MADE A VERBAL AGREEMENT, LET'S
00:10:15.74\00:10:19.15
WRITE IT DOWN. YOU CODIFY IT.
THEN YOU GET A COPY OF THE SALES
00:10:19.18\00:10:23.12
AGREEMENT - PURCHASE
AGREEMENT - I GET A COPY - ISN'T
00:10:23.15\00:10:25.92
THAT HOW IT
WORKS? THAT'S A COVENANT.
00:10:25.95\00:10:27.96
THAT'S ALL A COVENANT
IS - IT'S AN AGREEMENT.
00:10:27.99\00:10:29.76
GOD SPOKE IT, THEY SAID, 'ALL
THE LORD SAYS WE WILL DO.' GOD
00:10:29.79\00:10:32.69
SAID, 'I'LL GO MAKE THE COPIES.'
MOSES WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN, GOD
00:10:32.73\00:10:36.53
GAVE HIM THE AGREEMENT - THE
COVENANT - HE SAID, 'HERE'S MY
00:10:36.56\00:10:39.10
LAW.' AND YOU READ DEUTERONOMY
28, HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE ME AND
00:10:39.13\00:10:43.44
YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS'
- YOU KNOW, RIGHT IN THE TEN
00:10:43.47\00:10:45.31
COMMANDMENTS IT SAYS, 'LOVE
GOD' - IN THE COMMANDMENT ABOUT
00:10:45.34\00:10:48.44
IDOLATRY IT SAYS, 'SHOWING MERCY
UNTO THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT LOVE
00:10:48.48\00:10:51.58
ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.'
SO THE KEY IS LOVING GOD.
00:10:51.61\00:10:55.82
BUT DID THEY KEEP HIS LAW? >>NO.
00:10:55.85\00:10:58.69
>>BEFORE MOSES EVEN CAME DOWN
THE MOUNTAIN THEY MADE A GOLDEN
00:10:58.72\00:11:01.29
CALF - THEY DID IT IN THE
CONTEXT OF WORSHIP - AND THEY
00:11:01.32\00:11:04.53
HAD A WILD PARTY AND BEFORE THE
DAY WAS OVER, IT SAYS, THEY MADE
00:11:04.56\00:11:07.66
THEMSELVES NAKED - IT GOT WAY
OUT OF HAND AND THEY BROKE ALL
00:11:07.66\00:11:11.43
THE LAW - THEY WORSHIPED IDOLS
AND GOD SAID, 'LOOK, YOU DIDN'T
00:11:11.47\00:11:15.80
KEEP OUR COVENANT.' NOW THAT WAS
THE OLD COVENANT WHERE THE LAW
00:11:15.84\00:11:20.58
OF GOD WAS WRITTEN IN
STONE. UPON WHAT IS THE
00:11:20.61\00:11:23.98
NEW COVENANT BASED? IT
TELLS THAT THE NEW COVENANT -
00:11:24.01\00:11:27.42
HE SAYS, "I WILL PUT MY LAW
IN THEIR MIND, AND I'LL WRITE
00:11:27.45\00:11:31.12
THEM IN THEIR
HEARTS." THAT'S HEBREWS 8:10.
00:11:31.15\00:11:34.16
NOW, IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES,
IF YOU TURN IN YOUR BIBLES TO
00:11:34.19\00:11:37.19
JEREMIAH 31:31, WHERE DO
YOU FIRST FIND THE NEW COVENANT?
00:11:37.23\00:11:41.33
NOT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
WHEN PAUL QUOTES THERE, IN
00:11:41.36\00:11:44.23
HEBREWS, THE NEW
COVENANT, HE'S QUOTING JEREMIAH.
00:11:44.27\00:11:47.67
YOU LOOK IN JEREMIAH 31:31,
"'BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING,'
00:11:47.70\00:11:51.57
SAYS THE LORD, 'I WILL MAKE A
NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF
00:11:51.61\00:11:54.28
ISRAEL, WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH,
NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT I
00:11:54.31\00:11:57.31
MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE
DAY I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO
00:11:57.35\00:12:00.12
LEAD THEM OUT OF EGYPT, MY
COVENANT THAT THEY BROKE.'" THEY
00:12:00.15\00:12:03.79
BROKE IT WAY BACK BEFORE
JEREMIAH - "THOUGH I WAS A
00:12:03.82\00:12:06.65
HUSBAND TO THEM. BUT
THIS IS THE NEW COVENANT
00:12:06.69\00:12:08.86
THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AFTER THOSE
00:12:08.89\00:12:10.73
DAYS,' SAYS THE
LORD." - 'I'LL GIVE THEM
00:12:10.76\00:12:12.79
A DIFFERENT LAW.
I'LL CHANGE THE LAW.
00:12:12.83\00:12:14.83
I'LL DO AWAY WITH THE
LAW.' NO. IT DOESN'T SAY THAT.
00:12:14.83\00:12:17.37
I'M JUST WONDERING
IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING.
00:12:17.40\00:12:18.83
HE SAYS, 'I'LL PUT MY LAW'
- SAME LAW - 'IN A DIFFERENT
00:12:18.87\00:12:21.87
PLACE. I'LL PUT
MY LAW IN THEIR MINDS
00:12:21.90\00:12:25.17
AND I'LL WRITE IT IN THEIR
HEARTS, AND I'LL BE THEIR GOD
00:12:25.21\00:12:28.38
AND THEY'LL BE MY PEOPLE.' SO
THE NEW COVENANT IS NOT A CHANGE
00:12:28.41\00:12:32.18
IN THE LAW, THE NEW COVENANT
IS A CHANGE IN THE PLACE
00:12:32.21\00:12:34.35
THE LAW IS WRITTEN.
GOD WRITES HIS LAW IN
00:12:34.38\00:12:37.52
YOUR HEART THROUGH LOVE. >>AMEN.
00:12:37.55\00:12:39.99
>>DOESN'T LIVING UNDER GOD'S
GRACE MAKE KEEPING GOD'S LAW
00:12:40.02\00:12:44.49
NON-ESSENTIAL?
YOU'VE HEARD THAT?
00:12:44.53\00:12:46.16
'I'M NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE.
I'M NOW UNDER GRACE.' AND THE
00:12:46.19\00:12:49.46
BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
NOT BEING UNDER LAW.
00:12:49.50\00:12:51.67
WHAT DOES PAUL MEAN WHEN HE
SAYS, 'NOT BEING UNDER LAW'?
00:12:51.70\00:12:54.47
HE DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE NO
LONGER UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO
00:12:54.50\00:12:58.11
KEEP THE LAW - BECAUSE
JUST FOLLOW THAT THROUGH.
00:12:58.14\00:13:00.31
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE
NOT OBLIGATED TO BE HONEST?
00:13:00.34\00:13:03.85
YOU'RE NOT
OBLIGATED TO NOT STEAL?
00:13:03.88\00:13:06.82
YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN TO
YOUR SPOUSE AND SAY, 'YOU'RE NOT
00:13:06.85\00:13:09.22
OBLIGATED TO KEEP THE SEVENTH
COMMANDMENT.' DOES ANYONE
00:13:09.25\00:13:12.69
BELIEVE THAT? THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS.
00:13:12.72\00:13:15.39
SO PAUL,
CERTAINLY, DOESN'T MEAN THAT.
00:13:15.42\00:13:16.99
HE MEANS, BECAUSE OF THE
SACRIFICE OF JESUS WE ARE NO
00:13:17.03\00:13:20.63
LONGER UNDER THE PENALTY OF
THE LAW.' - THE WAGES ARE DEATH.
00:13:20.66\00:13:26.17
HE'S NOT SAYING YOU'RE NOT
UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO OBEY IT.
00:13:26.20\00:13:30.17
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT

LET'S RETURN, NOW, TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:14:30.70\00:14:33.50
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:14:33.54\00:14:37.84
>>I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE
DAY - THIS IS A TRUE STORY - AND
00:14:37.87\00:14:41.88
I WAS DEEP IN THOUGHT - GOING
TOO FAST - AND I MUST HAVE BEEN
00:14:41.91\00:14:45.08
REALLY DEEP IN THOUGHT BECAUSE
I ACTUALLY PASSED - SPEEDING -
00:14:45.11\00:14:49.55
A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN
THAT WAS NEXT TO ME.
00:14:49.58\00:14:52.65
(LAUGHTER) AND HE PULLED ME OVER
- HE WAS PRETTY NICE - AND HE
00:14:52.69\00:14:56.66
SAID, 'LOOK, YOU WEREN'T GOING
THAT FAST, BUT I WAS FOLLOWING
00:14:56.69\00:14:58.63
SOMEONE ELSE AND YOU PASSED
ME AND YOU WERE SPEEDING AND I
00:14:58.66\00:15:00.83
THOUGHT, 'WELL, I CAN'T PULL
THEM OVER IF YOU'RE JUST' - I
00:15:00.86\00:15:03.23
SAID, 'OH, OFFICER, I AM SO
SORRY.' - I SAID - 'I JUST WAS
00:15:03.26\00:15:05.60
ON ONE OF THESE ROADS THAT WAS
70 MILES AN HOUR AND THEN I CAME
00:15:05.63\00:15:08.37
ON - I SWITCHED OFF ONTO THIS
HIGHWAY AND I JUST - I REALLY' -
00:15:08.40\00:15:11.11
I SAID - I SAID, 'CAN
YOU PLEASE HAVE MERCY?'
00:15:11.14\00:15:13.78
(LAUGHTER) NOW I'VE BEEN - I'M
NOT PROUD OF MY DRIVING RECORD
00:15:13.81\00:15:21.58
AND I COULD PROBABLY TEACH
TRAFFIC SCHOOL (LAUGHTER) YOU
00:15:21.62\00:15:26.49
KNOW, I KNOW THE LORD'S COMING
SOON SO WE NEED TO MAKE HASTE
00:15:26.52\00:15:29.72
AND SO I'VE GOTTEN MORE THAN
A COUPLE OF SPEEDING TICKETS.
00:15:29.76\00:15:34.50
AND I SAID, 'PLEASE HAVE MERCY.
00:15:34.56\00:15:36.73
YOU KNOW, MY INSURANCE
JUST FINALLY WENT DOWN.
00:15:36.77\00:15:38.80
I'M TRYING TO KEEP IT THAT WAY'
- (LAUGHTER) - 'AND I CAN'T GO
00:15:38.83\00:15:41.37
HOME AND TELL MY WIFE THAT I
JUST GOT ANOTHER TICKET.' AND I
00:15:41.40\00:15:44.77
JUST CONFESSED, I
SAID, 'I'M GUILTY.
00:15:44.81\00:15:46.84
I REPENT. HAVE MERCY.
ALL I CAN ASK FOR IS MERCY.
00:15:46.88\00:15:49.24
I DON'T WANT JUSTICE, I WANT
MERCY.' (LAUGHTER) AND HE SAID,
00:15:49.28\00:15:52.58
'ALRIGHT.' HE SAID, 'I'M GOING
TO WRITE YOU A WARNING.' AND SO
00:15:52.61\00:15:55.02
HE WRITES ME A WARNING. HE
SAID, 'ALRIGHT, SLOW DOWN.'
00:15:55.05\00:15:58.05
AND I SAID, 'PRAISE THE LORD.'
NOW, I DIDN'T WANT TO PULL OVER
00:15:58.09\00:16:01.29
WHEN HE PULLED ME OVER
BECAUSE I WAS IN A HURRY.
00:16:01.32\00:16:03.49
DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN YOU'RE IN
A HURRY AND THEN THE POLICEMAN
00:16:03.53\00:16:05.23
PULLS YOU OVER AND THEN YOU'RE
REALLY LATE AND YOU HAVE TO SAY,
00:16:05.26\00:16:08.10
'OFFICER, CAN YOU PLEASE HURRY
UP WITH THIS TICKET BECAUSE I'VE
00:16:08.13\00:16:09.90
GOT TO GET GOING?' (LAUGHTER)
00:16:09.93\00:16:11.43
AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
DRIVE TWICE AS FAST BECAUSE
00:16:11.47\00:16:12.97
YOU PULLED ME OVER.' (LAUGHTER)
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
00:16:13.00\00:16:17.87
AND SO, I HAD TO PULL
OVER BECAUSE I BROKE THE LAW.
00:16:17.91\00:16:22.71
AND SO, WHEN I SEE THOSE BLUE
AND RED LIGHTS - YOU EVER NOTICE
00:16:22.74\00:16:26.88
WHEN YOU SEE A POLICEMAN - HOW
MANY OF YOU AUTOMATICALLY TAKE
00:16:26.92\00:16:29.48
YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR?
YOU MAY BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT
00:16:29.52\00:16:33.69
AND YOU SEE A POLICEMAN,
YOU - (LAUGHTER) - AND SO
00:16:33.72\00:16:39.36
I HAD TO PULL OVER. AND
FINALLY, WHEN HE GAVE ME
00:16:39.39\00:16:41.83
BACK THE WARNING HE SAID,
'LOOK, I'M GOING TO LET YOU GO.
00:16:41.86\00:16:44.50
I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A
TICKET.' I'M NO LONGER UNDER THE
00:16:44.53\00:16:47.67
LAW, I'M NOW UNDER
GRACE. HE'S FORGIVEN ME.
00:16:47.70\00:16:51.64
BOY, IT'D BE REALLY GREAT IF HE
SAID, 'LOOK, THERE'S A PENALTY.
00:16:51.67\00:16:54.24
I'M GOING TO PAY YOUR TICKET FOR
YOU.' THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY
00:16:54.28\00:16:56.31
OFTEN, BUT THAT WOULD BE REALLY
A GREAT ILLUSTRATION IF THAT
00:16:56.34\00:16:59.45
HAPPENED. BUT HE
SAID, 'I'M GOING TO LET
00:16:59.48\00:17:02.45
YOU GO.' SO NOW I SAID, 'PRAISE
THE LORD, I'M NO LONGER UNDER
00:17:02.48\00:17:05.55
THE LAW. HE SAID I'M FREE.'
I BELIEVE HIS WORD THAT I'M
00:17:05.59\00:17:08.12
FREE, WHICH MEANS NOW I
GET TO DRIVE 90 MILES AN HOUR.
00:17:08.16\00:17:12.26
SO I REV MY ENGINE AND I PEEL
OUT AWAY FROM THE POLICEMAN,
00:17:12.29\00:17:15.60
SPRAY GRAVEL OVER THE HOOD OF
HIS CAR AND SAY, 'PRAISE GOD I'M
00:17:15.63\00:17:19.03
NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW, I'M
UNDER GRACE NOW.' IS THAT HOW
00:17:19.07\00:17:22.14
YOU DO IT? >>NO!
00:17:22.17\00:17:23.61
>>NO, NO, YOU KNOW WHAT I DID?
00:17:23.64\00:17:25.61
I SAID, 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
OFFICER.' I TOOK OUT SOMETHING,
00:17:25.64\00:17:28.54
I CLEANED OFF MY REARVIEW
MIRROR, I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW,
00:17:28.58\00:17:31.98
I PUT MY BLINKER ON, I PUT IT IN
GEAR, I PULLED OUT VERY SLOW - I
00:17:32.01\00:17:37.99
WAITED 'TIL THERE WERE NO CARS
FOR SIX MILES IN ANY DIRECTION -
00:17:38.02\00:17:40.82
(LAUGHTER) - I PULLED OUT VERY
CAREFULLY AND I WENT LIKE 45 ½
00:17:40.86\00:17:44.09
MILES AN HOUR LOOKING BOTH WAYS
BECAUSE, PRAISE THE LORD, I'VE
00:17:44.13\00:17:47.23
JUST BEEN FORGIVEN. I AM NOW
UNDER GRACE. I AM GOING TO BE
00:17:47.30\00:17:49.63
THE MOST CAREFUL
PERSON ON THE ROAD, RIGHT?
00:17:49.66\00:17:52.53
CHRISTIANS, WHEN THEY
REALIZE WHAT THEIR FORGIVENESS
00:17:52.57\00:17:56.24
HAS COST, WHEN CHRISTIANS
REALIZE WHAT THEIR LAWBREAKING
00:17:56.27\00:18:01.24
HAS COST, SHOULD BE THE ONES WHO
ARE THE MOST CAREFUL NOT TO DO
00:18:01.28\00:18:06.55
THE THING THAT
CRUCIFIED JESUS, AMEN?
00:18:06.58\00:18:09.38
>>AMEN. >>AND BE OBEDIENT.
00:18:09.42\00:18:11.79
SO, NO, WE ARE NOT UNDER
THE LAW, WE ARE UNDER GRACE.
00:18:11.82\00:18:16.32
BUT WHAT DOES PAUL
SAY IN ROMANS 6:15?
00:18:16.36\00:18:18.29
"WHAT THEN? SHALL WE SIN BECAUSE
WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT
00:18:18.33\00:18:21.93
UNDER GRACE? GOD FORBID." HE
SAID, 'DON'T EVEN THINK THAT.'
00:18:21.96\00:18:25.17
AND YET, THAT'S WHAT
SOME CHURCHES ARE TEACHING.
00:18:25.20\00:18:28.30
ROMANS 3:31, "DO WE THEN
MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH?
00:18:28.34\00:18:32.97
GOD FORBID: YEA,
WE ESTABLISH THE LAW."
00:18:33.01\00:18:36.28
WHEN YOU'VE GOT FAITH YOU DON'T
MAKE VOID THE LAW, YOU SEAL IT;
00:18:36.31\00:18:38.95
YOU ENDORSE IT, YOU AFFIRM IT.
00:18:38.98\00:18:41.05
INDEED, JESUS SAID, "AND IT IS
EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO
00:18:41.08\00:18:43.85
PASS, THAN ONE
TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL."
00:18:43.89\00:18:48.22
IS HEAVEN STILL
THERE? IS EARTH STILL THERE?
00:18:48.26\00:18:51.96
THEN GOD'S TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE STILL THERE.
00:18:51.99\00:18:54.20
AND I ALREADY QUOTED YOU, 'JESUS
CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,
00:18:54.23\00:18:56.60
TODAY, AND FOREVER.' SO, ARE
PEOPLE SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW?
00:18:56.63\00:19:01.44
THIS IS A POINT I
NEED TO MAKE VERY CLEAR.
00:19:01.47\00:19:04.07
IS ANYONE SAVED
BY KEEPING THE LAW?
00:19:04.11\00:19:06.24
I'VE HEARD FOLKS SAY, 'WELL,
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THEY WERE
00:19:06.27\00:19:08.48
SAVED BY THE LAW.
NOW WE'RE SAVED BY
00:19:08.51\00:19:10.15
GRACE.' THAT IS NONSENSE.
ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND
00:19:10.18\00:19:15.05
GOD COUNTED IT UNTO
HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:19:15.08\00:19:17.29
ABRAHAM WAS SAVED BY FAITH.
READ HEBREWS 11, IT TALKS ABOUT
00:19:17.32\00:19:21.52
ALL THE OLD TESTAMENT CHARACTERS
WHO WERE SAVED BY FAITH.
00:19:21.56\00:19:25.46
THEY WERE SAVED BY FAITH
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MESSIAH.
00:19:25.49\00:19:28.43
WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING
BACK TO CHRIST. EVERYBODY IS
00:19:28.46\00:19:31.83
SAVED BY JESUS. NOBODY IS SAVED
BY WORKS. WE'RE ALL SAVED BY
00:19:31.87\00:19:37.01
FAITH. WE DO NOT KEEP THE
LAW TO BE SAVED, WE KEEP THE LAW
00:19:37.04\00:19:41.18
BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED. >>AMEN.
00:19:41.21\00:19:43.35
>>JESUS SAID, 'YOU'LL KNOW THEM
BY THEIR FRUITS.' AND IF WE'VE
00:19:43.38\00:19:46.72
GOT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT,
WHICH IS LOVE - AND JESUS SAID,
00:19:46.75\00:19:48.95
'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY
COMMANDMENTS' - EPHESIANS 2:8.
00:19:48.98\00:19:52.72
HE GOES ON TO SAY, "FOR BY GRACE
ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND
00:19:52.75\00:19:56.62
THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS
THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS,
00:19:56.66\00:20:00.53
LEST ANY MAN SHOULD
BOAST." I LIKE WHAT D.L.
00:20:00.56\00:20:03.83
MOODY SAID - HE WAS A
GREAT PREACHER - HE SAID, "THE
00:20:03.87\00:20:07.27
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD GIVEN TO
MOSES IN THE MOUNT AT HOREB ARE
00:20:07.30\00:20:11.14
AS BINDING TODAY AS EVER THEY
HAVE BEEN SINCE THE TIME WHEN
00:20:11.17\00:20:14.98
THEY WERE PROCLAIMED IN
THE HEARING OF THE PEOPLE."
00:20:15.01\00:20:17.88
AND SOMEONE ASKED BILLY GRAHAM
A QUESTION - HE USED TO HAVE A
00:20:17.91\00:20:20.52
QUESTION AND ANSWER THING IN THE
DALLAS NEWS WHERE THEY'D MAIL IN
00:20:20.55\00:20:23.45
QUESTIONS - AND THE QUESTION
WAS, 'DOES GOD STILL EXPECT US
00:20:23.49\00:20:26.62
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
HERE'S THE ANSWER FROM
00:20:26.65\00:20:30.09
DR. GRAHAM, "THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE JUST AS VALID
00:20:30.13\00:20:33.06
TODAY AS WHEN GOD GAVE THEM
TO MOSES OVER 3,000 YEARS AGO.
00:20:33.09\00:20:36.97
JESUS SAID, 'I TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:20:37.00\00:20:39.40
DISAPPEAR, NOT THE SMALLEST
LETTER, NOT THE LEAST STROKE OF
00:20:39.43\00:20:43.57
THE PEN, WILL BY ANY MEANS
DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAW.'" WHAT
00:20:43.61\00:20:47.58
LAW IS IT THEN THAT
WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS?
00:20:47.61\00:20:50.28
AND THIS IS WHERE
SOME PEOPLE GET CONFUSED.
00:20:50.31\00:20:52.78
YOU CAN READ IN COLOSSIANS 2:14
- NOW YOU NEED TO - YOU MIGHT
00:20:52.81\00:20:55.88
WANT TO TAKE A FEW NOTES - AND
THIS WILL BE IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL
00:20:55.92\00:20:58.22
MATERIAL, IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING
ALONG - WE'VE GOT A LESSON THAT
00:20:58.25\00:21:02.86
TALKS ABOUT WRITTEN IN STONE
AND IT EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE
00:21:02.89\00:21:07.10
BETWEEN WHAT LAWS ARE NAILED TO
THE CROSS, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:21:07.13\00:21:10.50
AND THE CEREMONIAL LAWS -
COLOSSIANS 2:14, "BLOTTING OUT
00:21:10.53\00:21:14.37
THE" - NOW I
UNDERLINED THAT - WHAT'S IT SAY?
00:21:14.40\00:21:16.67
- "HANDWRITING...THAT WAS
AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY
00:21:16.71\00:21:22.41
TO US, AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE
WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS."
00:21:22.44\00:21:27.85
NOW, IF YOU GO TO EXODUS 32 -
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT WAS NAILED
00:21:27.88\00:21:31.19
TO THE CROSS - EXODUS 32:16,
"NOW THE TABLETS WERE THE WORK
00:21:31.22\00:21:35.59
OF GOD, AND THE WRITING WAS THE
WRITING OF GOD ENGRAVED ON THE
00:21:35.62\00:21:38.93
TABLETS." - GOD WROTE
AN ENGRAVING OF THE TEN
00:21:38.96\00:21:41.80
COMMANDMENTS - IT IS
GOD-WRITTEN, IT IS NOT
00:21:41.83\00:21:43.37
THE HANDWRITING OF MAN.
BUT, WHAT MOSES WROTE, AS
00:21:43.40\00:21:48.00
FAR AS THE CEREMONIAL LAW
AND ORDINANCES YOU CAN READ IN 2
00:21:48.04\00:21:51.54
CHRONICLES 33:8 - I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE THERE - HE SAYS, "THEY
00:21:51.57\00:21:56.81
WILL TAKE HEED TO DO ALL THAT
I HAVE COMMANDED THEM," - SO GOD
00:21:56.85\00:22:00.35
IS SPEAKING - "ALL THAT I HAVE
COMMANDED THEM, ACCORDING TO THE
00:22:00.38\00:22:02.35
WHOLE LAW AND" - SO AFTER HE
SAYS, 'WHOLE LAW' AND THEN HE
00:22:02.38\00:22:05.62
SAYS, 'AND' -
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:22:05.65\00:22:06.76
AND MEANS WHAT? YOU'RE
ADDING SOMETHING TO IT. "AND THE
00:22:06.79\00:22:09.92
STATUTES AND THE ORDINANCES
BY THE HAND OF MOSES."
00:22:09.96\00:22:15.43
ORDINANCES, HANDWRITING -
THE CEREMONIAL LAWS CONTAINED IN
00:22:15.46\00:22:20.70
ORDINANCES - NOW WHERE DID
THEY PUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:22:20.74\00:22:24.11
WAS IT - IN THE ARK OF
THE COVENANT - WHERE WERE THE
00:22:24.14\00:22:27.04
CEREMONIAL LAWS
PLACED? >>ON THE OUTSIDE.
00:22:27.08\00:22:29.88
>>READ IN DEUTERONOMY 31:26,
"AND TAKE THIS BOOK OF THE LAW,"
00:22:29.91\00:22:34.85
- WRITTEN ON PAPER - "AND PUT
IT IN THE SIDE OF THE ARK OF THE
00:22:34.88\00:22:38.69
COVENANT OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:22:38.72\00:22:40.52
THAT IT MAY BE THERE
FOR A WITNESS AGAINST THEE."
00:22:40.56\00:22:44.29
YOU REMEMBER WHAT
PAUL SAID IN COLOSSIANS?
00:22:44.33\00:22:45.93
HANDWRITING,
ORDINANCES, AGAINST US.
00:22:45.96\00:22:48.96
IT IS SO CLEAR, WHEN YOU
ARE A JEW, LIKE PAUL, AND HE
00:22:49.00\00:22:52.60
UNDERSTOOD THE OLD TESTAMENT
AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE
00:22:52.63\00:22:55.00
HANDWRITING OF MOSES THAT WAS
IN THE CEREMONIAL LAWS, PLACED
00:22:55.04\00:22:58.94
OUTSIDE THE ARK,
TO WITNESS AGAINST US.
00:22:58.97\00:23:01.11
NOT TALKING ABOUT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:23:01.14\00:23:03.24
BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE TWO LAWS.
00:23:03.28\00:23:05.91
EPHESIANS 2:15,
"HAVING ABOLISHED...THE LAW OF
00:23:05.95\00:23:09.12
COMMANDMENTS
CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES."
00:23:09.15\00:23:13.02
SO, ARE THERE SOME LAWS
THAT ARE NAILED TO THE CROSS?
00:23:13.05\00:23:17.16
CAN YOU NAIL STONE TO
ANYTHING? NOT VERY EASILY, HUH?
00:23:17.19\00:23:20.33
IT WAS THE CEREMONIAL LAWS
THAT WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS.
00:23:20.36\00:23:23.70
THIS IS THE LAWS THAT CONTAINED
THE ANNUAL SABBATHS, THE MEAT
00:23:23.73\00:23:28.04
OFFERINGS, THE DRINK OFFERINGS
- SO MANY THINGS THAT REVOLVED
00:23:28.07\00:23:30.27
AROUND THE SANCTUARY AND ITS
SERVICES - THE TEN COMMANDMENT
00:23:30.31\00:23:33.51
LAW IS ETERNAL IN NATURE.
WAS IT A SIN FOR JOSEPH TO
00:23:33.54\00:23:38.18
COMMIT ADULTERY
WITH POTIPHAR'S WIFE?
00:23:38.21\00:23:40.45
>>YES. >>IT WOULD HAVE BEEN.
00:23:40.48\00:23:43.39
YEAH, HE SAID 'HOW CAN I DO
THIS TERRIBLE THING AND SIN?'
00:23:43.42\00:23:46.49
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HADN'T BEEN
WRITTEN YET - IT WAS STILL A SIN
00:23:46.52\00:23:49.76
BEFORE THAT HAPPENED.
WAS - DID GOD TELL CAIN - HE
00:23:49.79\00:23:54.36
SAID, 'SIN IS AT YOUR
DOOR,' WHEN HE WAS THINKING OF
00:23:54.40\00:23:56.43
MURDERING HIS BROTHER. YOU
MEAN WAY BACK IN THE GARDEN
00:23:56.46\00:23:58.97
OF EDEN, BEFORE MOSES
WROTE 'THOU SHALT NOT MURDER.'
00:23:59.00\00:24:01.07
MURDER WAS A SIN.
TEN COMMANDMENTS GO
00:24:01.10\00:24:03.97
ALL THE WAY BACK.
THEY'RE ETERNAL IN NATURE.
00:24:04.01\00:24:07.21
THE CEREMONIAL LAWS DID NOT
APPEAR UNTIL THE EXODUS AND THEY
00:24:07.24\00:24:09.88
ENDED WITH THE CROSS
- THEY'RE TEMPORARY -
00:24:09.91\00:24:12.41
THEY WERE TO HELP US
RECOGNIZE JESUS, FRIENDS.
00:24:12.45\00:24:14.72
THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT SUBJECTS BECAUSE IT'S
00:24:14.75\00:24:18.52
SO STRANGE THAT WE'RE LIVING IN
TIME WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE FUZZY
00:24:18.55\00:24:21.79
ABOUT SOMETHING AS
BASIC AS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:24:21.82\00:24:24.16
I WOULD THINK WE'D NOTICE
THAT WHEN GOD GATHERS A NATION
00:24:24.19\00:24:27.50
TOGETHER AND HE SPEAKS TO THEM
AUDIBLY IN HIS OWN VOICE, ON A
00:24:27.50\00:24:32.77
MOUNTAIN, THUNDER AND SMOKE,
THEN HE TAKES STONE - NOT PAPER
00:24:32.80\00:24:36.60
- AND HE WRITES IT WITH HIS OWN
FINGER, AND HE SAYS, 'PUT IT IN
00:24:36.64\00:24:40.58
THE MOST SACRED LOCATION IN YOUR
NATION' - THE GOLDEN BOX IN THE
00:24:40.61\00:24:44.81
MIDDLE OF THE HOLY OF HOLIES
- THE INNER SANCTUM OF THE
00:24:44.85\00:24:47.12
SANCTUARY - HE
SAYS, 'THIS IS MY WORD.
00:24:47.15\00:24:49.48
I SPOKE TO YOU MY WILL.' AND
FOR CHRISTIANS TO SAY THEY LOVE
00:24:49.52\00:24:53.69
JESUS, WHO HAVE THE AUDACITY
TO SAY, 'HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT
00:24:53.72\00:24:57.99
THAT.' OR 'THAT'S NO LONGER
IMPORTANT.' WHERE IN THE WORLD
00:24:58.03\00:25:02.93
DO WE GET THAT IDEA?
I'LL BE TELLING YOU WHERE
00:25:02.96\00:25:06.00
THAT IDEA COMES FROM,
LATER. BUT FRIENDS, THE BOTTOM
00:25:06.03\00:25:08.07
LINE IS 'DO YOU LOVE ME?' IF
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES
00:25:08.10\00:25:13.31
YOU - BECAUSE HE
DIED TO SAVE YOU.
00:25:13.34\00:25:15.41
I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY ABOUT
A MAN, HE WAS DRIVING TOO FAST
00:25:15.44\00:25:19.85
THROUGH THIS SUBURBAN
NEIGHBORHOOD AND HE SAW THE RED
00:25:19.88\00:25:22.75
AND BLUE LIGHTS AND HE PULLED
OVER AND THE POLICEMAN CAME UP
00:25:22.78\00:25:27.92
AND HE SAID, 'LOOK OFFICER,
I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST.
00:25:27.96\00:25:31.19
I KNOW I DIDN'T STOP COMPLETELY
AT THE STOP SIGN; I KIND OF
00:25:31.23\00:25:33.73
ROLLED THROUGH IT, BUT I LOOKED
AROUND BEFORE I DID AND - AND
00:25:33.76\00:25:36.67
CAN YOU GIVE ME A BREAK?
AND AFTER ALL, I'M ALMOST SURE
00:25:36.70\00:25:38.93
YOU GO TO THE SAME
CHURCH I GO TO.' AND THE OFFICER
00:25:38.97\00:25:42.97
DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
HE WALKED BEHIND THE GUY'S
00:25:43.00\00:25:45.81
CAR AND HE STARTED WRITING.
HE GOT REALLY MAD - THE DRIVER
00:25:45.84\00:25:48.14
- HE SAID, 'MAN, HE COULD HAVE
GIVEN ME A BREAK, YOU KNOW?'
00:25:48.18\00:25:50.28
AND JUST STARTED SLAMMING ON HIS
STEERING WHEEL AND THOUGHT, 'OH,
00:25:50.31\00:25:52.85
MY INSURANCE IS GOING TO GO UP.'
AND HE WAS ALL UPSET AND HE WAS
00:25:52.88\00:25:54.88
FUMING AND FINALLY THE POLICEMAN
CAME OVER, HE TAPPED ON HIS
00:25:54.92\00:25:58.59
WINDOW AND HE JUST
ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN THAT FAR.
00:25:58.62\00:26:02.09
THE POLICEMAN POPPED THE PIECE
OF PAPER THROUGH THE CRACK IN
00:26:02.12\00:26:05.46
THE WINDOW - THE GUY WAS
BEING VERY RUDE NOW - AND THE
00:26:05.49\00:26:08.43
POLICEMAN GOT IN
HIS CAR AND DROVE OFF.
00:26:08.46\00:26:10.47
THE GUY PICKED UP THE PAPER - IT
WASN'T A TICKET, IT WAS A NOTE.
00:26:10.50\00:26:15.67
AND THE POLICEMAN SAID, 'I KNOW
YOU, BOB.' - AND HE SAID, 'I'M
00:26:15.70\00:26:20.48
GOING TO LET YOU GO TODAY.' -
HE SAID, 'I JUST WANT TO LET YOU
00:26:20.51\00:26:24.18
KNOW THAT A SPEEDING DRIVER
KILLED MY DAUGHTER FOUR YEARS
00:26:24.21\00:26:29.05
AGO AND I'M REALLY STRUGGLING TO
FORGIVE, AND I'M HOPING THAT ONE
00:26:29.08\00:26:34.99
MORE ACT OF FORGIVENESS
IS GOING TO HELP ME TODAY.
00:26:35.02\00:26:39.06
PLEASE SLOW DOWN.' SO HERE'S
A QUESTION: WHEN THAT GUY PULLED
00:26:39.09\00:26:44.17
AWAY, DO YOU THINK
HE DROVE DIFFERENT?
00:26:44.20\00:26:49.37
HE WAS FORGIVEN. EVEN
THOUGH THAT OFFICER HAD
00:26:49.40\00:26:53.38
LOST A CHILD TO
A SPEEDER. >>WOW.
00:26:53.41\00:26:56.54
>>WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CROSS,
JESUS IS HANGING THERE, NOT JUST
00:26:56.58\00:26:59.81
FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD,
HE'S HANGING THERE FOR YOUR SIN.
00:26:59.85\00:27:02.58
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
>>HE'S HANGING THERE
00:27:02.62\00:27:03.69
FOR YOUR LAWLESSNESS.
AND HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE ME,
00:27:03.72\00:27:08.46
PLEASE DON'T KEEP DOING THE
THINGS THAT HURT YOU AND THEY
00:27:08.49\00:27:11.06
HURT ME AND THEY HURT OTHERS.'
YOUR DISOBEDIENCE NOT ONLY HURTS
00:27:11.09\00:27:14.83
GOD, IT NOT ONLY HURTS
YOU, IT HURTS YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:27:14.86\00:27:18.70
AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE GOD, AND
BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR,
00:27:18.73\00:27:21.07
AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOURSELF,
YOU WANT TO BE OBEYING GOD'S
00:27:21.10\00:27:25.11
LAW. YOU WILL BE
BLESSED. YOU WILL HAVE PEACE.
00:27:25.14\00:27:27.74
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HAVE THAT PEACE, FRIENDS?
00:27:27.78\00:27:29.24
>>AMEN. >>WOULD
YOU LIKE TO ASK HIM
00:27:29.28\00:27:31.48
TONIGHT? HOW MUCH
CAN WE DO WITHOUT GOD'S
00:27:31.51\00:27:33.62
HELP? >>NOTHING.
00:27:33.65\00:27:35.15
>>NOTHING. ARE WE
SAVED BY OBEYING THE LAW
00:27:35.18\00:27:37.12
OR ARE WE SAVED
BY GRACE? >>GRACE.
00:27:37.15\00:27:39.25
>>BUT IF WE'RE SAVED BY GRACE
AND IF WE LOVE JESUS, WILL WE
00:27:39.29\00:27:41.66
WANT TO OBEY HIS LAW? >>YES.
00:27:41.69\00:27:49.13
