>>IF THERE ARE ANY WORDS
IMPORTANT, IT WOULD BE THE WORDS
00:00:14.44\00:00:16.48
OF GOD ENGRAVEN IN STONE. CHRIST
WAS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE WORD.
00:00:16.51\00:00:21.35
HIS LIFE WAS
OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW OF GOD.
00:00:21.38\00:00:24.39
>>WELCOME ONCE AGAIN
TO LANDMARKS OF PROPHECY.
00:00:28.82\00:00:31.49
WE'RE SO THANKFUL THAT
YOU'RE HERE. AND TONIGHT WE'RE
00:00:31.53\00:00:34.10
CONTINUING OUR SERIES
WITH A VERY IMPORTANT STUDY.
00:00:34.13\00:00:36.93
IT'S THE TOPIC OF
THE UNCHANGEABLE LAW .
00:00:36.97\00:00:41.10
WELL, AS WE ALWAYS DO,
WE'RE GOING TO USE A BIBLE STORY
00:00:41.14\00:00:44.27
SORT OF AS A
SPRINGBOARD INTO THIS SUBJECT.
00:00:44.31\00:00:47.11
IF YOU LOOK INTO YOUR BIBLE
IN DANIEL CHAPTER 6, YOU'LL
00:00:47.14\00:00:50.28
RECOGNIZE THE STORY
THERE. IT'S ABOUT DANIEL.
00:00:50.31\00:00:53.21
ONE OF THE GREAT STORIES WE
OFTEN SAVE FOR THE CHILDREN,
00:00:53.25\00:00:56.35
DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN.
00:00:56.38\00:00:58.12
YOU SEE, AFTER THE BABYLONIAN
KINGDOM FELL TO THE PERSIANS,
00:00:58.15\00:01:01.59
THE NEW PERSIAN KING, DARIUS,
WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH DANIEL'S
00:01:01.62\00:01:05.96
ABILITY AND HIS WONDERFUL SPIRIT
HE HAD, THAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT
00:01:05.99\00:01:10.57
MAKING HIM THE PRIME MINISTER OF
HIS NEW KINGDOM. WELL, YOU CAN
00:01:10.60\00:01:15.87
IMAGINE THAT DIDN'T GO OVER VERY
WELL WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS OF
00:01:15.90\00:01:19.44
DARIUS' CABINET BECAUSE
DANIEL WAS A FORMER SERVANT OF
00:01:19.47\00:01:22.81
NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
THAT WAS THE ENEMY.
00:01:22.84\00:01:25.11
DANIEL WAS A FORMER CAPTIVE
FROM AMONG THE ISRAELITES.
00:01:25.15\00:01:28.92
WHY WOULD THE KING WANT TO
PROMOTE SOMEBODY WHO WAS BOTH A
00:01:28.95\00:01:32.19
FOREIGNER AND A MEMBER OF
THE FORMER KINGDOM TO BE THE NEW
00:01:32.22\00:01:35.49
PRIME MINISTER? SO
THEY CAME UP WITH A PLOT.
00:01:35.52\00:01:38.93
THEY WENT TO KING DARIUS
AND THEY SAID, 'YOUR HIGHNESS,
00:01:38.96\00:01:42.43
IT'S A NEW KINGDOM.
WE'VE CONQUERED SEVERAL OTHER
00:01:42.46\00:01:44.67
EMPIRES; IN ORDER TO GET
EVERYONE TOGETHER - THE BEST WAY
00:01:44.70\00:01:46.67
TO DO THAT IS THROUGH COMMON
WORSHIP.' THAT'S TRUE, THE DEVIL
00:01:46.70\00:01:51.41
OFTEN DOES THAT. WHEN
YOU CAN'T GET PEOPLE TO
00:01:51.44\00:01:54.38
JOIN TOGETHER BECAUSE OF COMMON
LANGUAGE OR COMMON CULTURE,
00:01:54.41\00:01:59.31
COMMON RELIGION IS
OFTEN THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
00:01:59.35\00:02:03.59
AND SO, THEY SAID, 'IF YOU MAKE
A LAW - IT DOESN'T HAVE TO LAST
00:02:03.62\00:02:07.79
LONG, JUST 30 DAYS - THAT NOBODY
WORSHIPS ANY GOD EXCEPT FOR YOU,
00:02:07.82\00:02:12.83
THAT'LL SOLIDIFY THE KINGDOM.'
YOU CAN READ IN DANIEL 6:8, HE
00:02:12.86\00:02:17.83
SIGNED THE DECREE - YOU CAN'T
PRAY TO ANY GOD OR MAN FOR 30
00:02:17.87\00:02:21.50
DAYS AND, BY THE WAY, THERE'S A
PENALTY IF YOU BREAK IT: YOU GO
00:02:21.54\00:02:24.64
TO THE LION'S DEN.' BUT THE
KING NEVER DREAMED ANYBODY WOULD
00:02:24.67\00:02:27.84
BREAK IT AND HE DIDN'T REALIZE
WHAT THEY WERE UP TO, SO HE
00:02:27.88\00:02:30.08
SIGNED IT. AND IT
SAYS, 'ACCORDING TO THE
00:02:30.11\00:02:32.78
LAW OF THE MEDES AND THE
PERSIANS WHICH DOES NOT ALTER.'
00:02:32.81\00:02:36.92
ONCE YOU SIGN THE KING'S
LAW, YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT.
00:02:36.95\00:02:40.69
SO, THE BIBLE - HERE'S ONE OF
THE GREAT VERSES IN THE BIBLE:
00:02:40.72\00:02:45.63
DANIEL 6, VERSE 10, "NOW WHEN
DANIEL KNEW THAT THE WRITING WAS
00:02:45.66\00:02:48.70
SIGNED, HE WENT INTO HIS HOUSE;
AND HIS WINDOWS BEING OPEN IN
00:02:48.73\00:02:51.87
HIS CHAMBER TOWARD JERUSALEM,
HE KNEELED UPON HIS KNEES THREE
00:02:51.90\00:02:57.37
TIMES A DAY, AND PRAYED, AND
GAVE THANKS BEFORE HIS GOD," -
00:02:57.41\00:03:02.98
DID DANIEL KNOW WHAT THE
PENALTY WAS FOR THIS LAW?
00:03:03.01\00:03:04.98
IT SAYS HE KNEW ABOUT IT
AND HE'S STILL THANKING GOD.
00:03:05.01\00:03:07.38
HE DID NOTHING TO HIDE
HIS LIGHT UNDER A BUSH.
00:03:07.42\00:03:10.89
BUT HE THOUGHT, 'I'M NOT GOING
TO HIDE MY FAITH FROM ANYBODY.'
00:03:10.92\00:03:14.16
AND SO HE OPENED HIS WINDOWS.
00:03:14.19\00:03:16.62
WELL, SOON THESE ENEMIES, THEY
WENT TO THE KING AND THEY SAID,
00:03:16.66\00:03:21.00
'YOU KNOW THAT
LAW THAT YOU SIGNED?'
00:03:21.03\00:03:23.10
THE KING SAID, 'YEP, LAW OF
THE MEDES AND THE PERSIANS - IT
00:03:23.13\00:03:25.17
CANNOT CHANGE.' THEY SAID,
'WELL, THERE'S SOMEONE IN YOUR
00:03:25.20\00:03:27.27
KINGDOM THAT JUST DOESN'T CARE
ABOUT YOUR LAW, IT'S DANIEL.
00:03:27.30\00:03:30.11
HE'S PRAYING THREE TIMES A
DAY.' KING DARIUS SAID, 'OH NO!'
00:03:30.14\00:03:36.68
THE BIBLE SAYS HE LABORED
TIL THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN TO
00:03:36.71\00:03:39.61
DELIVER DANIEL BUT HE COULDN'T
BECAUSE HE COULDN'T CHANGE HIS
00:03:39.65\00:03:43.02
OWN LAW. SO RIGHT
ABOUT THE GOING DOWN OF
00:03:43.05\00:03:46.45
THE SUN, HE HAD DANIEL BROUGHT
TO THE LION'S DEN. DANIEL SAID
00:03:46.49\00:03:51.43
- THE KING SPOKE TO DANIEL
AND HE PUT HIM IN THE LION'S
00:03:51.46\00:03:53.76
DEN AND HE SAID, 'I KNOW
THAT YOUR GOD THAT YOU SERVE
00:03:53.80\00:03:55.90
CONTINUALLY, HE WILL DELIVER
YOU.' AND THEY PUT A STONE OVER
00:03:55.93\00:04:00.77
THE LION'S DEN AND THEY SEALED
IT WITH A GOVERNMENT SEAL.
00:04:00.80\00:04:04.77
AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IT TELLS
US THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING,
00:04:04.81\00:04:09.31
THE KING CAME TO THE TOMB AND
HE SAID - THEY ROLLED AWAY THE
00:04:09.34\00:04:15.42
STONE - 'DANIEL, HAS YOUR GOD
THAT YOU SERVE CONTINUALLY BEEN
00:04:15.45\00:04:17.42
ABLE TO DELIVER
YOU FROM THE LIONS?'
00:04:17.45\00:04:19.69
AND DANIEL SAID, 'MY GOD
HAS SENT HIS ANGEL AND SHUT THE
00:04:19.72\00:04:22.66
LIONS' MOUTHS.' AND NO FORM OF
HARM OR HURT WAS ON DANIEL, THE
00:04:22.69\00:04:27.13
BIBLE SAYS, BECAUSE
HE BELIEVED IN HIS GOD.
00:04:27.13\00:04:29.80
WELL, HE HAD AN INTERESTING
WAY OF BELIEVING - HE SHOWED HIS
00:04:29.83\00:04:33.27
BELIEF, DIDN'T HE? THAT'S WHAT
IT SAYS - HE BELIEVED IN GOD.
00:04:33.30\00:04:35.64
NOW THIS STORY TELLS US
THAT DANIEL SAID THERE ARE TEN
00:04:35.67\00:04:39.94
COMMANDMENTS AND ONE COMMANDMENT
SAYS, 'THOU SHALT NOT HAVE OTHER
00:04:39.97\00:04:43.45
GODS BEFORE ME' - NOT EVEN KING
DARIUS. NOT EVEN FOR 30 DAYS.
00:04:43.48\00:04:48.12
AND HE WAS WILLING TO DIE RATHER
THAN DISOBEY. WHAT KIND OF FAITH
00:04:48.15\00:04:55.26
AND DETERMINATION DO GOD'S
PEOPLE NEED IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:04:55.29\00:04:57.69
IS THERE GOING TO BE A LAW THAT
SAYS 'HE WHO DOES NOT WORSHIP
00:04:57.73\00:05:01.03
THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE SHOULD
BE KILLED? FIRST THEY CAN'T
00:05:01.06\00:05:04.30
BUY OR SELL, BUT ULTIMATELY
IT SAYS THEY SHOULD BE KILLED.
00:05:04.33\00:05:06.60
AND WORSHIPING THE BEAST AND
HIS IMAGE IS GOING TO REQUIRE
00:05:06.63\00:05:09.70
BREAKING ONE OF
GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
00:05:09.74\00:05:11.77
DO YOU LOVE THE LORD AND
HIS WORD SO MUCH THAT YOU WOULD
00:05:11.81\00:05:14.51
RATHER DIE - RATHER
GO HUNGRY - THAN DISOBEY?
00:05:14.54\00:05:19.55
THIS IS A TEST THAT WE NEED TO
KNOW THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:05:19.58\00:05:23.92
ARE NOT MULTIPLE
CHOICE AND THAT'S OUR SUBJECT.
00:05:23.95\00:05:28.46
NUMBER 1: CAN GOD'S MORAL
LAW BE AMENDED OR REPEALED?
00:05:28.49\00:05:34.10
ANSWER: JESUS TELLS US IN LUKE
16, VERSE 17 - HE SAYS, "IT IS
00:05:34.10\00:05:39.60
EASIER FOR HEAVEN
AND EARTH TO" - WHAT?
00:05:39.63\00:05:42.80
>>PASS AWAY.
00:05:42.84\00:05:44.14
>>"PASS AWAY THAN FOR ONE
TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL."
00:05:44.17\00:05:47.48
THAT'S A HEBREW TERM -
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE LITTLE
00:05:47.51\00:05:50.25
CROSSING OF A 'T' - IT'S EVEN
SMALLER THAN THE CROSSING OF A
00:05:50.28\00:05:52.45
'T' - EVEN THE SLIGHTEST THING
- A JOT OR A TITTLE IS LIKE A
00:05:52.48\00:05:55.62
LITTLE PERIOD OR A LITTLE
CROSSING OF A 'T' - IT SAYS
00:05:55.65\00:05:58.25
HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY
BEFORE EVEN THAT MUCH OF THE LAW
00:05:58.29\00:06:01.39
PASSES AWAY. YOU CAN
ALSO READ IN PSALM 89,
00:06:01.42\00:06:06.59
VERSE 34, GOD SAYS, "MY COVENANT
I WILL NOT BREAK, NOR ALTER THE
00:06:06.63\00:06:14.87
WORD THAT HAS
GONE OUT OF MY LIPS."
00:06:14.90\00:06:17.64
GOD IS NOT GOING TO
00:06:17.67\00:06:18.97
BREAK HIS COVENANT.
IT'S FOREVER AND EVER.
00:06:19.01\00:06:22.51
AND THEN YOU HAVE ONE MORE
IN PSALM 111, VERSES 7 AND 8,
00:06:22.54\00:06:27.62
"ALL HIS PRECEPTS ARE SURE. THEY
STAND FAST FOREVER AND EVER."
00:06:27.65\00:06:35.22
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS DID
NOT SUDDENLY APPEAR IN EXODUS.
00:06:35.26\00:06:39.33
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HAVE ALWAYS
EXISTED BECAUSE THEY ARE A
00:06:39.36\00:06:42.93
REFLECTION OF GOD'S NATURE. HOW
DO I KNOW THAT? WHEN THE WOMAN -
00:06:42.96\00:06:48.10
POTIPHAR'S WIFE - TEMPTED
JOSEPH TO COMMIT ADULTERY IN THE
00:06:48.14\00:06:52.31
BOOK OF GENESIS, JOSEPH SAID,
'I CAN'T DO THAT. IT'S A SIN.'
00:06:52.34\00:06:56.95
DID THEY KNOW, EVEN IN GENESIS,
THAT ADULTERY WAS A SIN?
00:06:56.98\00:07:00.15
WHEN CAIN KILLED ABEL, GOD TOLD
HIM, 'SIN LIES AT YOUR DOOR.'
00:07:00.18\00:07:07.86
AND SIN IS THE
BREAKING OF GOD'S LAW.
00:07:07.89\00:07:09.52
WAS MURDER A SIN EVEN
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:07:09.56\00:07:12.46
OR DID MURDER - MURDER WASN'T
A SIN UNTIL GOD WROTE IT DOWN AT
00:07:12.49\00:07:15.76
MOUNT SINAI? OF COURSE IT WAS.
00:07:15.80\00:07:18.47
WAS IT WRONG TO LIE ALL
THE WAY FROM THE BEGINNING?
00:07:18.50\00:07:21.17
AND SO, SEE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
GO ALL THE WAY BACK.
00:07:21.20\00:07:24.01
GOD SIMPLY CODIFIED IT SO
THAT THEY WOULD ALL KNOW - VERY
00:07:24.04\00:07:26.44
CLEAR, NO MISUNDERSTANDING,
APPROXIMATELY 300 WORDS -
00:07:26.47\00:07:30.48
THIS IS MY PERFECT WILL.
THAT LAW IS COMPREHENSIVE FOR
00:07:30.51\00:07:34.25
ALL MAN - IT'S NOT FOR
ONE NATION, IT'S FOR PEOPLE
00:07:34.28\00:07:37.35
EVERYWHERE. WHEN YOU
DO AWAY WITH THE LAW OF
00:07:37.39\00:07:40.12
GOD, YOU'RE DOING AWAY
WITH THE NATURE OF GOD.
00:07:40.16\00:07:43.09
NOW, IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR LESSON
YOU'LL SEE, FOR INSTANCE, THE
00:07:43.12\00:07:45.63
BIBLE SAYS, 'GOD IS GOOD.'
DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS ALSO,
00:07:45.66\00:07:51.33
'THE LAW IS GOOD'? THE
BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD IS HOLY.
00:07:51.37\00:07:55.54
THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS
THAT THE LAW IS HOLY.
00:07:55.57\00:07:59.57
YOU CAN READ WHERE IT SAYS GOD
IS RIGHTEOUS, GOD IS TRUTH, GOD
00:07:59.61\00:08:03.04
IS PURE, GOD IS SPIRITUAL, GOD
IS UNCHANGEABLE, GOD IS ETERNAL.
00:08:03.08\00:08:06.65
THESE ARE ALSO ALL THE SAME
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAW SO
00:08:06.68\00:08:10.85
WE'VE GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL
ABOUT TRYING TO DO AWAY WITH THE
00:08:10.89\00:08:13.62
LAW BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS
THE VERY NATURE OF GOD.
00:08:13.66\00:08:18.06
JESUS WAS THE WORD BECAME FLESH.
CHRIST SAID, 'HE THAT HEARS
00:08:18.09\00:08:23.47
THESE WORDS OF MINE
IS BUILDING ON A' - WHAT?
00:08:23.50\00:08:26.13
- WISE MAN
BUILDING ON... >>THE ROCK.
00:08:26.17\00:08:28.40
>>THE ROCK. WHAT
WERE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:08:28.44\00:08:30.24
WRITTEN ON? IF
THERE ARE ANY WORDS
00:08:30.27\00:08:32.14
IMPORTANT, IT WOULD BE THE
WORDS OF GOD ENGRAVEN IN STONE.
00:08:32.17\00:08:35.74
CHRIST WAS THE
EMBODIMENT OF THE WORD.
00:08:35.78\00:08:37.65
HIS LIFE WAS
OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW OF GOD.
00:08:37.68\00:08:42.65
AND THEN, AS CHRISTIANS,
HE SAYS, 'FOLLOW ME.' NOW,
00:08:42.68\00:08:46.39
ACCORDING TO THE
BIBLE, WHAT IS SIN?
00:08:46.42\00:08:50.16
I MEAN, JESUS CAME
TO SAVE US FROM SIN.
00:08:50.19\00:08:52.99
WHAT IS IT THAT
HE'S SAVING US FROM?
00:08:53.03\00:08:55.06
1 JOHN 3, VERSE 4 - THE BIBLE
SAYS, "SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION
00:08:55.10\00:09:02.60
OF" - WHAT? OF THE LAW.
SIN IS - IT'S LIKE A DICTIONARY
00:09:02.64\00:09:05.31
DEFINITION: 'SIN IS THE BREAKING
OF - OR THE TRANSGRESSION OF -
00:09:05.34\00:09:09.08
THE LAW.' ROMANS 3:20 SAID,
"BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF
00:09:09.11\00:09:15.45
SIN." WE DON'T
REALLY KNOW WHAT SIN IS
00:09:15.48\00:09:17.99
EXCEPT BY THE LAW.
GOD'S LAW REVEALS WHAT SIN IS.
00:09:18.02\00:09:21.12
NOW, THE PURPOSE OF THE
LAW, THOUGH, AND THIS IS A VERY
00:09:21.16\00:09:25.33
IMPORTANT POINT I WANT TO
EMPHASIZE, IS NOT TO SAVE US.
00:09:25.36\00:09:27.86
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE PURPOSE
OF THE LAW IS TO SIMPLY SHOW US
00:09:27.93\00:09:31.67
OUR NEED OF SALVATION. NOW I'M
GOING TO JUST ILLUSTRATE THIS.
00:09:31.70\00:09:35.14
NOW I JUST DID SOMETHING
TO CHANGE MY APPEARANCE.
00:09:35.17\00:09:38.84
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT.
YOU SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
00:09:38.87\00:09:45.95
WOULD IT DISTRACT YOU IF I WENT
THROUGH THE REST OF THE PROGRAM
00:09:45.98\00:09:48.62
LIKE THIS? IT
WOULD. SO WHAT DO I NEED?
00:09:48.65\00:09:52.89
AH, HOW
CONVENIENT. SO I FEEL FINE.
00:09:52.92\00:09:59.03
I DON'T SEE THAT
THERE'S A PROBLEM.
00:09:59.06\00:10:00.70
I LOOK IN THIS
DEVICE AND I GO, 'EW!'
00:10:00.73\00:10:02.76
IT REALLY IS THE
FIRST TIME I LOOKED.
00:10:02.80\00:10:04.37
THAT'S KIND OF EMBARRASSING.
00:10:04.40\00:10:06.47
SO SINCE THE MIRROR SHOWED ME
I'VE GOT A PROBLEM, IT OBVIOUSLY
00:10:06.50\00:10:11.17
SHOULD BE THE MEANS OF
REMOVING THE PROBLEM, RIGHT?
00:10:11.21\00:10:14.18
SO IF I JUST WHACK MYSELF IN THE
HEAD WITH THE MIRROR IT'LL ALL
00:10:14.21\00:10:17.48
GO AWAY. WOULD THAT FIX IT?
IF I RUB THE MIRROR ON THE MARK
00:10:17.51\00:10:21.35
OR THE TAPE, WILL
THAT TAKE IT AWAY?
00:10:21.38\00:10:24.12
THIS SHOWS US THE PROBLEM, BUT
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE
00:10:24.15\00:10:27.69
PROBLEM AWAY. YOU ARE
NOT SAVED BY KEEPING THE
00:10:27.72\00:10:29.89
LAW, THE LAW DOESN'T
SAVE YOU FROM ANYTHING.
00:10:29.92\00:10:31.69
THE LAW IS THERE TO SHOW US
OUR NEED OF SALVATION. BUT THEN,
00:10:31.73\00:10:35.20
IF I TAKE THIS AND USE THE
BLOOD, IT TAKES AWAY THE SIN.
00:10:35.23\00:10:39.43
NOW THE REASON I MENTION THIS
- IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF JAMES,
00:10:39.47\00:10:42.87
'WHOEVER LOOKS INTO THE PERFECT
LAW THAT GIVES LIBERTY AND
00:10:42.90\00:10:46.54
CONTINUES THEREIN, BEING NOT
JUST A HEARER BUT A DOER OF THE
00:10:46.57\00:10:50.11
WORD, THIS MAN WILL BE BLESSED.'
THE LAW OF GOD IS COMPARED TO A
00:10:50.15\00:10:53.15
MIRROR. IT'S NOT
SUPPOSED TO TAKE AWAY
00:10:53.18\00:10:56.99
OUR SIN, IT'S
SUPPOSED TO SHOW US OUR NEED.
00:10:57.02\00:10:58.99
THEN YOU GO TO
JESUS FOR CLEANSING.
00:10:59.02\00:11:00.72
BUT, IF IT'S NOT A SIN TO BREAK
THE LAW - IF THERE'S NO LAW,
00:11:00.76\00:11:07.46
THERE'S NO SIN, RIGHT? THE
BIBLE SAYS, 'WHERE THERE IS
00:11:07.50\00:11:10.33
NO LAW THERE IS NO
TRANSGRESSION.' THAT'S WHAT PAUL
00:11:10.37\00:11:12.83
SAID, 'WHERE THERE IS NO LAW,
THERE'S NO TRANSGRESSION.' SO IF
00:11:12.87\00:11:15.74
THERE IS NO LAW
THERE'S NO TRANSGRESSION.
00:11:15.77\00:11:18.27
IF THERE'S NO SIN,
THEN WHO NEEDS A SAVIOR?
00:11:18.31\00:11:21.51
CAN YOU SEE WHY THE DEVIL
WOULD BE ATTACKING THE LAW?
00:11:21.54\00:11:25.68
BECAUSE IF THERE'S NO
LAW THEN THERE'S NO SIN.
00:11:25.71\00:11:27.92
IF THERE'S NO SIN
YOU DON'T NEED JESUS.
00:11:27.95\00:11:29.62
AND SO, THAT'S
THE LOGIC BEHIND IT.
00:11:29.65\00:11:32.39
NUMBER 3: TO WHAT
LAW IS JOHN REFERRING?
00:11:32.42\00:11:35.89
PAUL TELLS US IN ROMANS CHAPTER
7, VERSE 7 - HE SAID, 'I HAD NOT
00:11:35.92\00:11:40.90
KNOWN SIN BUT BY THE LAW.
FOR I HAD NOT KNOWN LUST EXCEPT
00:11:40.93\00:11:46.67
THE LAW HAD SAID, 'THOU SHALT
NOT COVET.' HERE HE IS QUOTING
00:11:46.70\00:11:50.67
FROM THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, ISN'T HE?
00:11:50.71\00:11:52.61
HE'S SAYING, 'I BECOME
AWARE OF WHAT MY SIN IS
00:11:52.64\00:11:55.84
BY LOOKING AT THE LAW.'
00:11:55.88\00:11:57.48
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS WE'LL
00:11:58.45\00:12:00.45
RETURN AND
COMPLETE THIS PRESENTATION.
00:12:00.48\00:12:02.98
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIG DEBATES
IN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD TODAY HAS
00:12:03.02\00:12:05.95
TO DO WITH 'HOW DOES A CHRISTIAN
RELATE TO THE LAW OF GOD?'
00:12:05.99\00:12:10.26
NOW, CLEARLY, SOME THINGS
WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS AND A
00:12:10.29\00:12:12.69
CHRISTIAN DOES NOT NEED
TO KEEP THE OLD COVENANT.
00:12:12.73\00:12:15.56
BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:12:15.60\00:12:17.63
AFTER ALL, THEY'RE NOT CALLED
'THE TEN RECOMMENDATIONS' OR
00:12:17.67\00:12:20.54
'THE TEN SUGGESTIONS' OR 'GOD'S
TEN GOOD IDEAS.' WE HAVE A

GOD IN STONE SO,
OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

LET'S GET BACK NOW TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:12:52.87\00:12:55.57
AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:55.60\00:12:57.87
DID JESUS KEEP
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:12:59.47\00:13:02.38
JOHN 15, VERSE 10 HE SAID,
"I HAVE" - WHAT? - "I HAVE KEPT
00:13:02.41\00:13:08.15
MY FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS
AND ABIDE IN HIS LOVE."
00:13:08.18\00:13:12.25
WE'VE GOT TO HAVE - 'THY WORD
I HAVE HIDDEN IN MY HEART THAT I
00:13:12.29\00:13:17.06
MIGHT NOT SIN.' WE
NEED TO HAVE THE LAW OF GOD
00:13:17.09\00:13:19.73
IN OUR HEADS AND IN OUR HEARTS
OR WE'RE GOING TO GET MIXED UP
00:13:19.76\00:13:21.86
IN THIS CULTURE, AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:13:21.90\00:13:23.70
>>NUMBER 5: WHAT IS THE
PUNISHMENT FOR LIVING A LIFE OF
00:13:23.73\00:13:27.20
SIN? ROMANS
6:23, "FOR THE WAGES OF
00:13:27.24\00:13:30.37
SIN IS DEATH." PRETTY SERIOUS.
00:13:30.41\00:13:33.68
SIN IS A DEADLY, CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE AND GOD HAS TO USE
00:13:33.71\00:13:36.68
DRASTIC MEASURES.
WE'VE SEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY
00:13:36.71\00:13:40.22
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SOMEONE EVEN
THOUGHT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE
00:13:40.25\00:13:43.55
EBOLA BECAUSE IT'S A DEADLY
DISEASE - ROUGHLY 50 TO 60
00:13:43.59\00:13:47.39
PERCENT, DEPENDING ON WHAT
COUNTRY YOU'RE IN WHEN YOU GET
00:13:47.42\00:13:49.89
IT - THAT THEY
QUICKLY QUARANTINE PEOPLE.
00:13:49.92\00:13:51.93
WELL, SIN IS EVEN
MORE DEADLY THAN EBOLA.
00:13:51.96\00:13:53.93
AND SO GOD SAYS, 'WE CAN'T
ALLOW IT TO SPREAD THROUGH THE
00:13:53.96\00:13:56.77
UNIVERSE. THE PENALTY IS DEATH.
UNLESS WE GET A TRANSFUSION OF
00:13:56.80\00:14:00.20
THE BLOOD OF
JESUS, WE'RE IN TROUBLE.
00:14:00.24\00:14:03.00
SOME SAY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE NOT BINDING FOR NEW
00:14:03.04\00:14:06.41
TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS.
WHAT DOES JESUS SAY ABOUT THIS?
00:14:06.44\00:14:09.84
MATTHEW 19, VERSE 17 - HE SAID,
"BUT IF YOU WILL ENTER INTO
00:14:09.88\00:14:15.15
LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS."
WELL OBVIOUSLY, FOR A STARTING
00:14:15.18\00:14:20.46
POINT, HE WOULD BE TALKING
ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:14:20.49\00:14:24.13
YOU CAN READ IN JOHN 14, VERSE
15, JESUS SAID, "IF YOU LOVE ME
00:14:24.16\00:14:29.66
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS." A
LOT OF PASTORS SAY TODAY, 'WE
00:14:29.70\00:14:35.24
DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ANYMORE BECAUSE
00:14:35.27\00:14:37.41
JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW.'
WELL, WHAT DOES 'FULFILL' MEAN?
00:14:37.44\00:14:41.28
WHEN CHRIST CAME TO JOHN
THE BAPTIST TO BE BAPTIZED, JOHN
00:14:41.31\00:14:44.31
SAID TO JESUS, 'NO, YOU NEED
TO BAPTIZE ME BECAUSE YOU'RE THE
00:14:44.35\00:14:49.85
MESSIAH.' JESUS SAID, 'NO, JOHN,
ALLOW IT TO BE THIS WAY NOW FOR
00:14:49.88\00:14:53.66
THUS IT BECOMES US TO FULFILL
ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.' SO WHEN
00:14:53.69\00:14:58.86
JESUS SAID,
'FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS,'
00:14:58.89\00:15:00.56
DOES THAT MEAN DO AWAY
WITH ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS?
00:15:00.60\00:15:02.90
SOME PEOPLE READ THAT VERSE:
'THINK NOT THAT I'VE COME TO
00:15:02.93\00:15:06.23
DESTROY THE LAW.' THEY CHANGE IT
WHERE JESUS SAYS 'THINK NOT THAT
00:15:06.27\00:15:09.97
I'VE COME TO DESTROY THE LAW,
I'VE ACTUALLY COME TO DO AWAY
00:15:10.01\00:15:12.24
WITH IT.' THAT
WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
00:15:12.27\00:15:14.58
HE OBVIOUSLY WANTS US TO
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:15:14.61\00:15:18.01
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS?
00:15:18.05\00:15:20.68
NOW, SIN IS THE
TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.
00:15:20.72\00:15:24.25
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I AM TEMPTED EVERY DAY.
00:15:24.29\00:15:27.22
AM I ALONE? EVERY
DAY I HAVE OPPORTUNITIES
00:15:27.26\00:15:30.83
TO DO THE WRONG
THING. AND EVERY DAY I HAVE
00:15:30.86\00:15:33.73
OPPORTUNITIES TO FOLLOW JESUS
AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
00:15:33.76\00:15:36.56
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO
DO WHAT GOD ASKS US TO DO?
00:15:36.60\00:15:40.80
ROMANS 8, VERSE 3 - GOD, SENDING
HIS OWN SON, IN THE LIKENESS OF
00:15:40.84\00:15:48.44
SINFUL FLESH, CONDEMNED SIN IN
THE FLESH THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:15:48.48\00:15:52.91
OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED
IN US WHICH WALK NOT AFTER THE
00:15:52.95\00:15:58.09
FLESH BUT AFTER THE
SPIRIT. IT IS POSSIBLE.
00:15:58.12\00:16:01.22
PHILIPPIANS 1, VERSE 6, "HE
WHO HAS BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU
00:16:01.26\00:16:06.09
WILL COMPLETE IT UNTIL THE DAY
OF JESUS CHRIST." YOU KNOW, A
00:16:06.13\00:16:11.33
FEW YEARS AGO, MATTER OF
FACT, JOHN LOMACANG WAS WITH ME.
00:16:11.37\00:16:15.64
WE WERE DOING A DEBATE - A
FRIENDLY DEBATE ON TELEVISION
00:16:15.67\00:16:18.87
WITH JOHN AND I AND TWO OTHER
MINISTERS AND THE SUBJECT OF THE
00:16:18.91\00:16:22.41
DEBATE WAS THE LAW OF GOD AND
THE MINISTERS WERE SAYING THAT
00:16:22.44\00:16:26.92
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WAS PART
OF THE OLD COVENANT AND NOBODY
00:16:26.95\00:16:30.02
COULD REALLY KEEP THE LAW
AND GOD DIDN'T EXPECT US TO.
00:16:30.05\00:16:34.02
AND SO I ASKED, 'CAN
THE DEVIL TEMPT US TO SIN?'
00:16:34.06\00:16:40.63
THEY SAID, 'WELL, OF COURSE.'
AND I SAID, 'SO YOU BELIEVE THE
00:16:40.66\00:16:43.77
DEVIL HAS THE POWER TO GET US TO
SIN, BUT YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT
00:16:43.80\00:16:47.50
GOD HAS THE POWER
TO KEEP US FROM SIN?
00:16:47.54\00:16:49.77
SO IN EFFECT, YOU'RE SAYING YOUR
DEVIL'S MORE POWERFUL THAN YOUR
00:16:49.80\00:16:52.94
GOD.' ISN'T THAT WHAT - I
MEAN, THAT'S WHERE THAT GOES.
00:16:52.97\00:16:56.44
HOW MUCH CAN I
DO THROUGH CHRIST?
00:16:56.48\00:16:59.11
WITHOUT HIM HOW
MUCH CAN WE DO? NOTHING.
00:16:59.15\00:17:02.35
THROUGH CHRIST, ALL
THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:17:02.38\00:17:04.12
WHAT IS THE OLD
COVENANT AND WHY DID IT FAIL?
00:17:04.15\00:17:07.62
ALRIGHT, FIRST LET'S LOOK
AND FIND OUT WHAT THAT WAS.
00:17:07.66\00:17:09.86
YOU GO TO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 4,
VERSE 13 AND YOU'LL FIND THE OLD
00:17:09.89\00:17:13.76
COVENANT MENTIONED THERE.
"SO HE DECLARED TO YOU HIS
00:17:13.80\00:17:17.37
COVENANT WHICH HE COMMANDED YOU
TO PERFORM, EVEN" - HOW MANY?
00:17:17.40\00:17:23.00
>>TEN. >>"TEN
COMMANDMENTS; AND HE
00:17:23.04\00:17:25.27
WROTE THEM ON TWO
TABLETS OF STONE."
00:17:25.31\00:17:27.61
AND SO IT TELLS US THAT
THE OLD COVENANT WAS THE TEN
00:17:27.64\00:17:30.58
COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN ON
THESE TWO TABLES OF STONE -
00:17:30.61\00:17:33.62
WRITTEN BY THE FINGER OF GOD.
00:17:33.65\00:17:35.12
NOW, RIGHT AFTER THE LORD MADE
THE COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE -
00:17:35.15\00:17:38.95
YOU KNOW WHAT A
COVENANT IS - IT'S AN AGREEMENT.
00:17:38.99\00:17:40.76
GOD SPOKE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
THERE IN EXODUS 20.
00:17:40.79\00:17:43.53
MOSES LATER BRINGS DOWN THE
WRITTEN COPY, BUT WHILE HE'S UP
00:17:43.56\00:17:46.96
ON THE HILL GETTING THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS, WHAT DO THE
00:17:47.00\00:17:49.40
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DO? AND
SO THE BIBLE SAYS IN HEBREWS
00:17:49.43\00:17:52.90
8, VERSE 8, "BECAUSE
FINDING FAULT WITH THEM."
00:17:52.93\00:17:58.81
NOW WAS THE FAULT OF THE OLD
COVENANT WITH THE COVENANT AND
00:17:58.84\00:18:01.41
THE LAW OR WAS IT WITH
THE PEOPLE WHO MADE A PROMISE?
00:18:01.44\00:18:04.48
YOU SEE, THE NEW COVENANT
IS BASED ON BETTER PROMISES.
00:18:04.51\00:18:08.08
THE OLD COVENANT WAS BASED
ON THE PROMISE OF THE PEOPLE.
00:18:08.12\00:18:11.25
'ALL THE LORD HAS SAID, WE
WILL DO IT.' THE NEW COVENANT IS
00:18:11.29\00:18:14.59
BASED ON THE
PROMISE OF THE LORD.
00:18:14.62\00:18:16.69
IT SAYS, IN HEBREWS 8, VERSE 10,
"FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I
00:18:16.73\00:18:22.20
WILL MAKE WITH (THEM) SAYS
THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN
00:18:22.23\00:18:27.50
THEIR MIND AND WRITE
THEM ON THEIR HEARTS."
00:18:27.54\00:18:30.87
INHERENT IN EVERY COMMAND OF GOD
IS BUILT THE POWER TO PERFORM
00:18:30.91\00:18:35.94
WHAT HE'S ASKING. THAT
IS A SIMPLE - IF GOD SAYS,
00:18:35.98\00:18:39.55
'I WANT YOU TO WALK ACROSS
THAT OCEAN THERE.' DON'T ARGUE.
00:18:39.58\00:18:42.42
YOU'LL EITHER WALK ON WATER LIKE
PETER OR HE'LL PART THE OCEAN.
00:18:42.45\00:18:45.72
I MEAN, WHEN GOD ASKS YOU
TO DO SOMETHING, YOU DO IT.
00:18:45.75\00:18:48.66
AND THAT'S CALLED OBEDIENCE AND
WE'RE LIVING IN AN AGE WHERE,
00:18:48.69\00:18:53.43
EVEN IN SOME CHURCHES,
THEY'RE ACTING LIKE OBEDIENCE IS
00:18:53.46\00:18:56.13
LEGALISM. OBEDIENCE IS NOT
LEGALISM. THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO
00:18:56.16\00:19:00.77
INTIMIDATE CHRISTIANS. AS
SOON AS YOU TALK ABOUT THE
00:19:00.80\00:19:03.00
LAW, YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU GET CALLED?
00:19:03.04\00:19:04.97
A DIRTY WORD AMONG CHRISTIANS -
LEGALIST, PHARISEE - AND SO WHAT
00:19:05.01\00:19:09.68
HAPPENED IS PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH
HAVE BEEN SO INTIMIDATED BY
00:19:09.71\00:19:12.05
THOSE TERMS, THE PENDULUM HAS
SWUNG TO THE OTHER SIDE AND NOW
00:19:12.08\00:19:14.45
EVERYBODY IS SO AFRAID TO BE
ACCUSED OF BEING A PHARISEE OR
00:19:14.48\00:19:17.65
LEGALIST, NOBODY TALKS
ABOUT THE LAW. JESUS DID.
00:19:17.69\00:19:21.89
DOESN'T LIVING UNDER GRACE
BY FAITH MAKE KEEPING GOD'S LAW
00:19:21.92\00:19:25.86
NON-ESSENTIAL?
ROMANS 6:15, "WHAT THEN?
00:19:25.89\00:19:29.93
SHALL WE SIN BECAUSE WE ARE
NOT UNDER LAW BUT UNDER GRACE?"
00:19:29.96\00:19:33.07
- WHAT DOES HE
SAY? >>CERTAINLY NOT!
00:19:33.10\00:19:34.67
>>"GOD FORBID!" AND
AGAIN, IN ROMANS 3, VERSE
00:19:34.70\00:19:37.97
31, "DO WE THEN MAKE
VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH?"
00:19:38.01\00:19:41.48
- AGAIN, HE USES
THAT PHRASE - "GOD FORBID!
00:19:41.51\00:19:44.15
YEA, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW."
00:19:44.18\00:19:46.11
PAUL SAYS, IN ROMANS CHAPTER
2:13 - "IT'S NOT THE HEARERS OF
00:19:46.15\00:19:49.98
THE LAW THAT WILL BE JUST BEFORE
GOD, BUT THE DOERS OF THE LAW
00:19:50.02\00:19:52.35
WILL BE JUSTIFIED."
THAT'S WHAT PAUL SAID.
00:19:52.39\00:19:55.12
ARE PEOPLE SAVED BY KEEPING THE
LAW? REMEMBER MY ILLUSTRATION?
00:19:55.16\00:19:59.49
IS ANYONE SAVED BY
KEEPING THE LAW? NO.
00:19:59.53\00:20:01.70
EPHESIANS 2, VERSES 8 AND 9, IT
SAYS VERY CLEARLY, "FOR BY GRACE
00:20:01.73\00:20:07.07
ARE WE SAVED THROUGH FAITH AND
THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES; IT IS
00:20:07.10\00:20:11.14
THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS,
LEST ANYONE SHOULD BOAST."
00:20:11.17\00:20:16.14
WE'RE NOT SAVED BY OUR
OBEDIENCE, BUT IF WE LOVE THE
00:20:16.18\00:20:19.21
LORD WE'LL WANT TO OBEY HIM.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO THE BILLY
00:20:19.25\00:20:22.58
GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION
WEBSITE, HE ANSWERS QUESTIONS
00:20:22.62\00:20:25.02
THERE. I JUST
COPIED THIS OFF THE
00:20:25.05\00:20:27.89
WEBSITE BECAUSE DR.
GRAHAM STILL HAS THIS RIGHT.
00:20:27.92\00:20:30.43
QUESTION: DOES GOD EXPECT US
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:20:30.46\00:20:34.66
ANSWER: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
JUST AS VALID TODAY AS WHEN GOD
00:20:34.73\00:20:39.80
GAVE THEM TO MOSES OVER
THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
00:20:39.83\00:20:42.54
JESUS SAID, 'I TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:20:42.57\00:20:45.71
DISAPPEAR, NOT THE SMALLEST
LETTER, NOT THE LEAST STROKE OF
00:20:45.74\00:20:48.54
THE PEN, WILL BY ANY
MEANS DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAW."
00:20:48.58\00:20:51.78
AND HE'S GOT A NUMBER OF
OTHER STATEMENTS LIKE THAT.
00:20:51.81\00:20:55.45
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PREACHERS
THAT ARE STILL SAYING THAT.
00:20:55.48\00:20:58.12
THEY'RE ALL SAYING, 'WE'RE NOT
UNDER THE LAW.' AND THAT IS A
00:20:58.15\00:21:01.12
REALLY STRANGE THING BECAUSE IT
MAKES IT SOUND LIKE SIN IS BEING
00:21:01.16\00:21:04.59
ENDORSED. ARE
THERE SOME OLD TESTAMENT
00:21:04.63\00:21:07.83
LAWS NO LONGER BINDING
UPON NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS?
00:21:07.86\00:21:11.13
YES. AND IT TELLS
YOU WHICH ONES THEY ARE.
00:21:11.17\00:21:13.97
YOU CAN READ IN EPHESIANS 2:15,
"HAVING ABOLISHED...THE LAW OF
00:21:14.00\00:21:17.94
COMMANDMENTS
CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES."
00:21:17.97\00:21:21.64
AND IT EXPLAINS
WHAT THESE THINGS ARE.
00:21:21.68\00:21:24.45
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT YOUR,
LIKE, YOUR YEARLY SABBATHS, MEAT
00:21:24.48\00:21:27.95
OFFERINGS, DRINK OFFERINGS -
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE
00:21:27.98\00:21:31.49
THE PASSOVER CEREMONY,
CIRCUMCISION - THESE ARE ALL
00:21:31.52\00:21:34.96
CEREMONIAL LAWS. THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE OF AN
00:21:34.99\00:21:37.79
ETERNAL NATURE.
NOW DON'T FORGET THIS:
00:21:37.83\00:21:39.83
TEN COMMANDMENTS,
WRITTEN BY GOD'S FINGER.
00:21:39.86\00:21:42.40
CEREMONIAL LAW,
WRITTEN BY MOSES.
00:21:42.43\00:21:45.03
TEN COMMANDMENTS,
SPOKEN BY GOD'S VOICE.
00:21:45.07\00:21:47.60
CEREMONIAL LAW, SPOKEN BY MOSES
OR THE VOICE OF OTHER JUDGES.
00:21:47.64\00:21:51.61
THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY
DISTINCT - OR SEPARATE - LAWS.
00:21:51.64\00:21:55.34
AND SO THE LAWS THAT WERE
NAILED TO THE CROSS WERE THE
00:21:55.38\00:21:57.78
CEREMONIAL LAWS, NOT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:21:57.81\00:22:00.72
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GLORIOUS
REWARDS OF KEEPING GOD'S LAW?
00:22:00.75\00:22:05.09
PROVERBS 29, VERSE 18 -
THIS IS AS SIMPLE AS IT GETS.
00:22:05.12\00:22:10.33
HOW CAN YOU
MISUNDERSTAND THIS ONE?
00:22:10.36\00:22:12.13
HE THAT KEEPS THE
LAW, HAPPY IS HE."
00:22:12.16\00:22:16.90
ANYONE HERE WANT
TO BE HAPPY? >>AMEN.
00:22:16.93\00:22:18.60
>>THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S
JOY, THERE'S BLESSING, THERE'S
00:22:18.63\00:22:22.00
HAPPINESS, THERE'S ABUNDANCE.
THIS DOESN'T COME FROM
00:22:22.04\00:22:25.11
DISOBEDIENCE, IT COMES FROM
TRUSTING THE LORD AND OBEYING
00:22:25.14\00:22:28.21
HIM. AND THAT'S
WHAT I WANT TO DO.
00:22:28.24\00:22:31.65
THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO BE.
FURTHERMORE, PSALM 119, VERSE
00:22:31.68\00:22:34.98
165, NOT ANY KIND OF
PEACE, BUT WHAT KIND OF PEACE?
00:22:35.02\00:22:38.12
>>GREAT. >>"GREAT
PEACE HAVE THEY THAT
00:22:38.15\00:22:41.16
LOVE THY LAW.
NOTHING WILL OFFEND THEM."
00:22:41.19\00:22:44.43
DON'T YOU WANT TO
HAVE THAT KIND OF PEACE?
00:22:44.46\00:22:46.73
WHEN YOU SAY - AND YOU KNOW, IF
YOU'RE STRUGGLING, AS WE ALL DO,
00:22:46.76\00:22:49.23
YOU JUST TELL THE LORD,
'LORD, I WANT TO OBEY YOU.
00:22:49.26\00:22:53.34
I WANT TO BE YOUR CHILD. I WANT
TO BE WILLING TO DO YOUR WILL.
00:22:53.37\00:22:55.90
YOU KNOW, GOD SENDS THIS MESSAGE
TO US BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SAVE
00:22:55.94\00:23:00.48
US, BUT HE CAN'T FORCE US.
BACK IN 1995, A YOUNG MAN DID
00:23:00.51\00:23:06.88
SOMETHING AWFUL -
JUST IMMATURE JEALOUSY.
00:23:06.92\00:23:11.55
THERE WERE A COUPLE THAT WERE
PARKED OUT IN AN ISOLATED SPOT
00:23:11.59\00:23:14.96
IN A CAR AND, I GUESS, THIS
YOUNG MAN, ALLEN - ANDREW ALLEN
00:23:14.99\00:23:22.40
COOK - FELT JILTED BUT HE SHOT
TO DEATH THESE YOUNG COLLEGE
00:23:22.43\00:23:28.30
STUDENTS AND - THE GIRL -
AND NOBODY KNEW WHAT HAPPENED.
00:23:28.34\00:23:32.44
IT WAS A MYSTERY.
THE FBI GOT INVOLVED.
00:23:32.47\00:23:34.54
THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHO
DID IT OR WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE.
00:23:34.58\00:23:36.95
BUT AT ONE POINT, THE BUREAU
- THE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION IN
00:23:36.98\00:23:42.98
GEORGIA - BEGAN TO ASK SOME
QUESTIONS AND THEY CALLED A GUY
00:23:43.02\00:23:47.22
NAMED JOHN COOK AND THEY SAID,
'COULD YOU HAVE YOUR SON ANDREW
00:23:47.26\00:23:49.89
GIVE US A CALL? WE
WANT TO ASK HIM SOME
00:23:49.92\00:23:52.09
QUESTIONS AND SEE IF HE KNOWS
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT MURDER THAT
00:23:52.13\00:23:54.36
TOOK PLACE.' AND SO
JOHN CALLED HIS SON.
00:23:54.40\00:23:57.43
HE SAID, 'ANDREW,' HE
SAYS, 'THEY'RE - THE BUREAU OF
00:23:57.47\00:23:59.77
INVESTIGATION IN GEORGIA
IS WANTING TO ASK YOU SOME
00:23:59.80\00:24:02.60
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT MURDER AND'
- HE SAID, 'YEAH, DAD, I DID
00:24:02.64\00:24:07.41
IT.' NOW I DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT
HIS FATHER WAS AN FBI AGENT.
00:24:07.44\00:24:12.61
THEY HAD NO EVIDENCE ON
HIM. THERE WERE NO WITNESSES.
00:24:12.65\00:24:20.46
THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW WAS
THE FATHER. THE FATHER WAS A
00:24:20.49\00:24:25.16
CHRISTIAN - LOVED HIS SON
- HE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION.
00:24:25.19\00:24:28.53
HE KNEW HE'D GET
THE DEATH PENALTY.
00:24:28.56\00:24:30.93
AND HE SAID, 'DO I PUT THE
LAW ABOVE THE LOVE FOR MY SON?'
00:24:30.97\00:24:38.84
AND HE REALIZED THERE IS
NO LOVE IF THERE ISN'T LAW.
00:24:38.87\00:24:43.18
AND WHAT ABOUT THE PARENTS
THAT LOST THEIR CHILDREN?
00:24:43.21\00:24:46.31
AND HE SAID, 'SON, YOU KNOW
WHAT I HAVE TO DO.' THE PRIMARY
00:24:46.35\00:24:50.95
WITNESS DURING THAT TRIAL WAS
JOHN COOK, WITNESSING AGAINST
00:24:50.99\00:24:55.72
HIS SON THAT HE DESPERATELY
LOVED. AND - 2013 - ANDREW WAS
00:24:55.76\00:25:02.10
EXECUTED FOR HIS
MURDERS. GOD WANTS TO SAVE YOU.
00:25:02.13\00:25:07.10
HE'S DESPERATE TO SAVE YOU,
BUT HE ALSO IS A JUST GOD AND HE
00:25:07.14\00:25:11.74
CANNOT SAVE YOU IF YOU WILL NOT
COME TO HIM AND ASK HIM TO SAVE
00:25:11.77\00:25:15.68
YOU FROM YOUR SINS. (MUSIC)
