>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.60\00:00:04.97
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.00\00:00:09.64
>>ONE OF THE MORE BIZARRE LAWS
IN MINNESOTA FORBIDS ANY GAME
00:00:09.67\00:00:14.41
WHERE PARTICIPANTS CHASE A
GREASED PIG IN ORDER CATCH IT.
00:00:14.44\00:00:18.18
IT'S ALSO ILLEGAL TO THROW
KNIVES AT MEN WEARING STRIPED
00:00:18.21\00:00:22.62
SUITS IN NATOMA, KANSAS.
IN WEST VIRGINIA, USING YOUR
00:00:22.65\00:00:27.42
FERRET FOR HUNTING CAN LAND
YOU IN JAIL FOR UP TO 100 DAYS.
00:00:27.46\00:00:32.26
AND, YOU BETTER NOT TRANSPORT
ICE CREAM IN YOUR POCKET IN
00:00:32.29\00:00:35.40
KENTUCKY. IT'S
AGAINST THE LAW TO GATHER
00:00:35.43\00:00:38.30
SEAWEED AT NIGHT
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
00:00:38.33\00:00:40.97
AND, IN VERMONT, A WOMAN NEEDS
WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM HER
00:00:41.00\00:00:43.87
HUSBAND BEFORE SHE CAN
LAWFULLY WEAR FALSE TEETH.
00:00:43.91\00:00:47.98
DOESN'T IT SEEM LIKE
HUMANS EXCEL AT MAKING THINGS
00:00:48.01\00:00:50.48
UNNECESSARILY COMPLEX? ON
THE OTHER HAND, GOD'S MORAL
00:00:50.51\00:00:55.05
CODE IS STREAMLINED,
SIMPLE, AND TOTALLY PRACTICAL.
00:00:55.08\00:00:59.45
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE ALSO A
PERFECT REFLECTION OF THE LOVING
00:00:59.49\00:01:03.53
CHARACTER OF GOD TO HELP US
TO SEE SIN IN OUR LIVES AND TO
00:01:03.56\00:01:07.60
POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SO JOIN ME TODAY AS WE LOOK
00:01:07.60\00:01:11.53
DEEPER INTO THIS
ESSENTIAL LAW OF LOVE.
00:01:11.57\00:01:19.04
>>YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I'D GIVE
YOU A LITTLE AMAZING FACT AT THE
00:01:19.07\00:01:20.94
BEGINNING. FOR YEARS, AS THESE
ANCIENT SHIPS WOULD MAKE THEIR
00:01:20.98\00:01:24.91
WAY ACROSS THE OCEAN, ONE OF
THE ONLY THINGS THAT KEPT THOSE
00:01:24.95\00:01:28.35
SHIPS FROM SINKING WAS ROCKS.
NOW YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED,
00:01:28.38\00:01:33.82
'HOW DO ROCKS KEEP
A SHIP FROM SINKING?'
00:01:33.86\00:01:36.66
BUT MANY OF THE ANCIENT
SAILBOATS, THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT
00:01:36.69\00:01:40.40
WHEN THEY HAD A TALL MAST AND
THAT LEVERAGE WHEN THEY WERE IN
00:01:40.43\00:01:43.43
THE WIND AND THE WAVES, TO GIVE
THEM THE BALLAST AND THE CENTER
00:01:43.47\00:01:47.14
OF GRAVITY THEY NEEDED TO
PREVENT THEM FROM CAPSIZING,
00:01:47.17\00:01:51.07
THEY WOULD TAKE VERY CAREFULLY
CHOSEN STONES THAT WOULDN'T
00:01:51.11\00:01:54.58
CRACK AND TURN INTO
GRAVEL, THEY'D PLACE THEM,
00:01:54.61\00:01:57.25
STRATEGICALLY, ACROSS THE BOTTOM
KEEL OF THE SHIP - AND THEY WERE
00:01:57.28\00:02:01.28
CALLED BALLAST STONES - AND
IT GAVE THE SHIP A CENTER OF
00:02:01.32\00:02:06.32
GRAVITY - KEPT IT FROM CAPSIZING
IN THE WIND AND IN THE WAVES AND
00:02:06.35\00:02:10.76
IT'S BEEN
INTERESTING TO GEOLOGISTS.
00:02:10.79\00:02:13.46
AS THEY'VE GONE TO DIFFERENT
PORTS AROUND THE WORLD, THEY
00:02:13.50\00:02:15.76
WILL FIND - IN THE CARIBBEAN,
FOR INSTANCE, AND PROBABLY ON
00:02:15.80\00:02:18.23
THE COAST OF FLORIDA, ALL
OF THESE INTERESTING GRANITE
00:02:18.27\00:02:21.24
STONES. NOW, IF
YOU'RE A FLORIDIAN, DO
00:02:21.27\00:02:23.17
YOU HAVE ANY GRANITE IN
FLORIDA? NO, EVEN THE ROADS ARE
00:02:23.20\00:02:26.78
MADE OF CORAL HERE,
RIGHT? EVERYTHING'S CORAL.
00:02:26.81\00:02:29.31
BUT THEY FOUND, IN THE PORTS,
THEY - MATTER OF FACT, THE
00:02:29.34\00:02:32.38
HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN FLORIDA,
I THINK, IS AN OVERPASS, RIGHT?
00:02:32.41\00:02:35.42
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) THE FREEWAY -
THEY FOUND, IN THE PORTS, THESE
00:02:35.45\00:02:39.39
GRANITE STONES AND THEY
SAID, 'HOW'D THEY GET HERE?
00:02:39.42\00:02:42.09
AND THEY WERE IDENTIFIED WITH
ROCKS THAT YOU'D FIND IN ITALY
00:02:42.12\00:02:44.79
OR SPAIN OR PORTUGAL OR FRANCE
OR ENGLAND - IT'S BECAUSE, WHEN
00:02:44.83\00:02:48.63
MANY OF THE SHIPS CAME OVER
THEY TOOK SOME OF THEIR BALLAST
00:02:48.66\00:02:51.10
STONES, THEY'D DUMP THEM OUT AND
THEY'D ADD CARGO THAT THEY PUT
00:02:51.13\00:02:53.97
LOWER IN THE HOLD AND
IT GAVE THEM STABILITY.
00:02:54.00\00:02:57.81
IT KEPT THEM FROM CAPSIZING.
IT KEPT THEM FROM BLOWING
00:02:57.84\00:03:00.84
OVER AND SINKING - A
STONE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED A
00:03:00.88\00:03:05.28
BALLAST STONE IN YOUR
LIFE. SO, TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY
00:03:05.31\00:03:09.55
IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND
IT'S DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT
00:03:09.58\00:03:12.12
OF THE LAW OF GOD. NOW
THE TITLE OF THE SERIES IS
00:03:12.15\00:03:15.62
THE LAW OF THE LAMB , BECAUSE
JESUS IS GOD THE SON. AMEN?
00:03:15.66\00:03:19.59
>>AMEN. >>GOD PUT
HIS WORD - THE TEN
00:03:19.63\00:03:22.86
COMMANDMENTS - ON
TWO TABLES OF STONE.
00:03:22.90\00:03:26.40
THIS IS THE LAW OF THE
LAMB. IT IS WRITTEN BY THE
00:03:26.43\00:03:28.64
LORD, BY HIS OWN FINGER.
NOW, JAMES USES AN ILLUSTRATION
00:03:28.67\00:03:32.67
WHERE HE SAYS, 'THE LAW OF GOD
IS LIKE A MIRROR; WHOSO LOOKS
00:03:32.71\00:03:36.28
INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY
AND CONTINUES THEREIN, NOT BEING
00:03:36.31\00:03:39.71
A FORGETFUL HEARER, BUT A DOER
OF THE WORK, THE SAME MAN WILL
00:03:39.75\00:03:42.85
BE BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES.'
AND YOU CAN SEE THE REFERENCE
00:03:42.88\00:03:45.82
THERE FOR JAMES 1:23.
AND THEN, IF YOU'RE WONDERING
00:03:45.85\00:03:48.46
WHAT LAW OF LIBERTY IS JAMES
TALKING ABOUT, HE THEN GOES ON
00:03:48.49\00:03:52.06
TO QUOTE FROM TWO OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:03:52.09\00:03:55.26
SO, LET ME SEE IF I CAN
ILLUSTRATE WHY THIS WOULD BE
00:03:55.30\00:04:00.24
IMPORTANT USING THE PRINCIPLE
THAT JAMES WAS TALKING ABOUT
00:04:00.27\00:04:09.78
THERE. ALRIGHT, NOW, DO
YOU SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT?
00:04:09.81\00:04:12.65
>>YES. >>LET'S
SUPPOSE THAT THIS IS
00:04:12.68\00:04:17.45
DIRT. I DON'T SEE IT.
00:04:17.49\00:04:23.09
NOW YOU SEE THAT
I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
00:04:23.12\00:04:25.69
I WENT UP TO A GUY IN THE
AIRPORT - NEVER MET HIM BEFORE -
00:04:25.73\00:04:28.50
BUT HE WENT THROUGH SECURITY
- YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF
00:04:28.53\00:04:30.63
YOUR JACKET AND PUT YOUR JACKET
BACK ON - AND HIS COLLAR WAS ALL
00:04:30.67\00:04:33.67
FLIPPED AROUND - HE DIDN'T KNOW
IT. AND, YOU KNOW, YOUR IQ LOOKS
00:04:33.70\00:04:36.10
LOWER WHEN YOU WALK
AROUND LIKE THAT. (LAUGHTER)
00:04:36.14\00:04:38.51
AND NO GUY - NO GUY WANTS THAT
TO HAPPEN AND SO, I SAID, 'HEY,
00:04:38.54\00:04:42.08
PARDON ME, BROTHER,' - I SAID
- 'LET ME HELP YOU WITH THIS.'
00:04:42.11\00:04:43.95
YOU KNOW, AND I
FIXED HIS COLLAR.
00:04:43.98\00:04:45.98
AND HE LOOKED AT
ME REALLY STRANGE.
00:04:46.01\00:04:47.55
I THOUGHT, 'I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T
MEAN TO MEDDLE,' - I SAID -
00:04:47.58\00:04:49.55
'YOUR COLLAR WAS FLIPPED AROUND
BACKWARDS.' I WALKED AWAY, I
00:04:49.58\00:04:51.35
WENT IN THE RESTROOM, MY COLLAR
WAS FLIPPED AROUND BACKWARDS -
00:04:51.39\00:04:54.76
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) I'D
GONE THROUGH SECURITY TOO.
00:04:54.79\00:04:59.19
HE'S LOOKING AT ME AND THINKS,
'BOY, REMOVE THE MOTE FROM YOUR
00:04:59.23\00:05:02.53
OWN EYE BEFORE YOU - YOU'VE GOT
A BEAM IN YOUR OWN EYE, YOU'RE
00:05:02.56\00:05:06.30
FIXIN' MINE.' SO, I DON'T
SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME.
00:05:06.33\00:05:12.14
I DIDN'T SEE MY JACKET
WAS MESSED UP THAT DAY.
00:05:12.17\00:05:14.71
IF I'M GOING TO SEE IT - WHEN
DID I NOTICE THAT MY COLLAR WAS
00:05:14.74\00:05:17.08
ALL CALLYWAMP -
WHEN I LOOKED IN WHAT?
00:05:17.11\00:05:20.12
I WISH I HAD A MIRROR.
IT JUST SO HAPPENS I'VE GOT
00:05:20.15\00:05:24.09
A FRIEND IN HIGH PLACES.
ALRIGHT, SO, I FEEL OKAY NOW.
00:05:24.12\00:05:29.76
I FEEL JUST LIKE I DID
TEN MINUTES AGO, BUT YOU SAY
00:05:29.79\00:05:31.53
SOMETHING'S CHANGED.
I'VE GOT SOMETHING WRONG.
00:05:31.56\00:05:35.23
IT'S DIRT. IT'S SIN,
RIGHT? SO, I GO LIKE THIS AND I
00:05:35.26\00:05:39.83
LOOK AND I THINK, 'OH,
WOW. THAT'S EMBARRASSING.
00:05:39.87\00:05:42.30
THAT LOOKS REALLY SILLY. I
DON'T FEEL SO GOOD ANYMORE.
00:05:42.34\00:05:45.94
I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S WRONG.'
OBVIOUSLY I FELT GOOD BEFORE I
00:05:45.97\00:05:49.61
LOOKED IN THE MIRROR, SO
WHAT'S WRONG IS THE MIRROR.
00:05:49.64\00:05:55.18
IF I JUST GET RID OF THE
MIRROR, EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
00:05:55.22\00:05:58.49
>>NO. >>RIGHT?
00:05:58.52\00:06:00.39
>>NOPE. >>BUT, YOU
KNOW, YOU EVER HEARD
00:06:00.42\00:06:03.22
THE EXPRESSION
'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'?
00:06:03.26\00:06:06.19
THERE'S A LOT CHRISTIANS WHO ARE
GOING BY 'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'.
00:06:06.23\00:06:09.26
THEY SAY, 'GET RID OF THE LAW.
I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE LAW.
00:06:09.30\00:06:11.33
LAW MAKES ME FEEL BAD.' BUT, YOU
KNOW, IT'S LOOKING IN THE LAW
00:06:11.37\00:06:14.60
THAT GIVES YOU CONVICTION - THAT
MAKES YOU SAY, 'WOW, SOMETHING
00:06:14.64\00:06:17.71
NEEDS TO BE DONE.' AND THEN
THERE'S SOME WHO THINK, 'WELL, I
00:06:17.74\00:06:20.88
FELT OKAY UNTIL I LOOKED IN THE
MIRROR SO, SINCE THIS SHOWED IT
00:06:20.91\00:06:24.08
TO ME, THIS SHOULD
PROBABLY BE WHAT TAKES IT AWAY.
00:06:24.11\00:06:28.02
AND SO, HOW AM I GOING TO DO
TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT OFF
00:06:28.05\00:06:31.22
WITH THE
MIRROR?' IS THAT WHAT THE
00:06:31.25\00:06:32.55
FUNCTION OF THIS IS? >>NO.
00:06:32.59\00:06:33.89
>>THIS IS - IT SHOWS IT TO
ME BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE IT AWAY.
00:06:33.92\00:06:37.33
SO IT'S USELESS. JUST GET
RID OF IT. I'LL FEEL BETTER.
00:06:37.36\00:06:40.80
THE FUNCTION OF THE MIRROR
IS NOT TO TAKE IT AWAY, IT IS
00:06:40.83\00:06:42.60
SIMPLY TO SHOW ME THAT
I'VE GOT SOMETHING WRONG.
00:06:42.63\00:06:45.00
SO LET'S SUPPOSE THIS
IS DIRT - THIS IS A SIN.
00:06:45.03\00:06:47.84
THIS DOESN'T TAKE IT AWAY,
IT'S SIMPLY SUPPOSED TO SHOW ME.
00:06:47.87\00:06:51.51
SO WHAT DO I DO
TO TAKE AWAY MY SIN?
00:06:51.54\00:06:53.98
WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN?
00:06:54.01\00:06:55.71
>>NOTHING BUT
THE BLOOD OF JESUS.'
00:06:55.74\00:06:57.28
>>THE BLOOD -
BOY, I WISH I HAD AN
00:06:57.31\00:06:58.61
ILLUSTRATION FOR THAT.
THANK YOU, MRS. BATCHELOR.
00:06:58.65\00:07:02.65
SO, THIS IS THE LAW;
THIS IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
00:07:02.68\00:07:06.45
I NEED THIS TO SAY,
'OH, I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
00:07:06.49\00:07:09.12
I'M CONVICTED.' AND THEN, I DID
THIS ONCE WITH PERMANENT MARKER
00:07:09.16\00:07:12.66
AND IT DIDN'T WORK VERY
WELL. I SAID - THEN I LOOK IN
00:07:12.69\00:07:17.33
THE MIRROR AND I SAY,
'OH, EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
00:07:17.37\00:07:21.04
I FEEL BETTER.' AND SO, I HAVE
NO PROBLEM WITH THIS NOW, WHERE
00:07:21.07\00:07:24.84
I HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE.
00:07:24.87\00:07:27.31
SOME PEOPLE HATE THE LAW BECAUSE
IT'S CONVICTING THEM THAT
00:07:27.34\00:07:30.05
THERE'S SOMETHING
THEY'RE DOING WRONG.
00:07:30.08\00:07:32.31
AND THEN THEY SAY, 'I HATE THE
LAW.' THE PROBLEM'S NOT THE LAW.
00:07:32.35\00:07:34.32
THE PROBLEM IS YOU
NEED THE BLOOD OF JESUS -
00:07:34.35\00:07:35.72
>>AMEN. >>TO TAKE AWAY THE SIN.
00:07:35.75\00:07:38.22
YOU'LL HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH THE LAW THEN.
00:07:38.25\00:07:40.66
THE LAW IS SIMPLY
SUPPOSED TO POINT YOU TO JESUS.
00:07:40.69\00:07:42.86
NOW, IF YOU GET RID OF THE
MIRROR, YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR
00:07:42.89\00:07:45.79
SIN AND THE DEVIL WILL HAVE YOU
LIVING UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT
00:07:45.83\00:07:49.50
EVERYTHING'S FINE AND YOU'LL BE
DOING WHAT I JUST DID, PREACHING
00:07:49.53\00:07:52.63
WITH A BIG MARK ON YOUR FACE -
AND EVERYONE SEES IT BUT YOU AND
00:07:52.67\00:07:57.51
YOU'RE LIVING IN A DREAM.
ARE THERE PEOPLE, WHEN CHRIST
00:07:57.54\00:08:00.84
COMES, THEY'RE GOING TO SAY,
'LORD, LORD,' - AND HE'S GOING
00:08:00.88\00:08:03.58
TO SAY, 'I DON'T
KNOW YOU.' >>THAT'S RIGHT.
00:08:03.61\00:08:05.75
>>WHY DOES HE SAY,
'I DON'T KNOW YOU'?
00:08:05.78\00:08:07.75
HE SAYS, 'DEPART FROM ME YOU
WORKERS OF INIQUITY.' YOU KNOW
00:08:07.78\00:08:10.89
WHAT THAT WORD 'INIQUITY'
IS? YOU READ IT IN THE
00:08:10.92\00:08:12.39
GREEK - 'LAWLESSNESS'.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY KNOW
00:08:12.42\00:08:16.02
JESUS' NAME AND THEY SAY, 'OH,
I TAUGHT IN YOUR STREETS, I DID
00:08:16.06\00:08:18.13
MANY WONDERFUL WORKS.'
HE'LL SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU.
00:08:18.16\00:08:21.26
DEPART FROM ME,
WORKERS OF INIQUITY.
00:08:21.30\00:08:23.60
WHY DO YOU CALL ME 'LORD, LORD'
AND DO NOT THE THINGS THAT I
00:08:23.63\00:08:25.57
SAY?' WHERE'S THE WILL OF
GOD? IT'S IN THE LAW OF GOD.
00:08:25.60\00:08:31.67
SO WHAT IS THE OLD COVENANT?
BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE LIVING
00:08:31.71\00:08:35.51
UNDER THE NEW
COVENANT NOW, RIGHT?
00:08:35.54\00:08:37.88
YOU CAN READ IN DEUTERONOMY
4:13, "AND HE DECLARED UNTO YOU
00:08:37.91\00:08:41.15
HIS COVENANT, WHICH HE COMMANDED
YOU TO PERFORM, EVEN TEN
00:08:41.18\00:08:45.32
COMMANDMENTS, AND HE WROTE
THEM UPON TWO TABLES OF STONE."
00:08:45.35\00:08:48.56
SO THE OLD COVENANT IS THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS THAT WERE WRITTEN
00:08:48.59\00:08:52.29
ON STONE. AND YOU
KNOW WHAT A COVENANT IS?
00:08:52.33\00:08:55.16
A COVENANT IS AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE.
00:08:55.20\00:08:58.60
GOD FIRST SPOKE THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IN THE HEARING OF
00:08:58.63\00:09:00.97
THE NATION OF ISRAEL AND THE
PEOPLE SAID, 'ALL THAT THE LORD
00:09:01.00\00:09:03.81
HAS SAID WE WILL DO.' YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU MAKE AN AGREEMENT WITH
00:09:03.84\00:09:06.44
SOMEBODY - YOU SAY,
'LOOK, I'LL SELL YOU MY HOUSE.
00:09:06.47\00:09:08.74
I WANT 300,000 DOLLARS.'
AND THEY SAY, 'OH, HOW ABOUT
00:09:08.78\00:09:12.21
280,000?' AND YOU SAY,
'OKAY, WE'LL DO IT FOR 290,000.
00:09:12.25\00:09:15.18
WE'LL SETTLE.' 'ALRIGHT.' YOU
MADE A VERBAL AGREEMENT, LET'S
00:09:15.22\00:09:18.62
WRITE IT DOWN. YOU CODIFY IT.
THEN YOU GET A COPY OF THE SALES
00:09:18.65\00:09:22.59
AGREEMENT - PURCHASE
AGREEMENT - I GET A COPY - ISN'T
00:09:22.62\00:09:25.39
THAT HOW IT
WORKS? THAT'S A COVENANT.
00:09:25.43\00:09:27.40
THAT'S ALL A COVENANT
IS - IT'S AN AGREEMENT.
00:09:27.46\00:09:29.20
GOD SPOKE IT, THEY SAID, 'ALL
THE LORD SAYS WE WILL DO.' GOD
00:09:29.23\00:09:32.13
SAID, 'I'LL GO MAKE THE COPIES.'
MOSES WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN, GOD
00:09:32.17\00:09:36.00
GAVE HIM THE AGREEMENT - THE
COVENANT - HE SAID, 'HERE'S MY
00:09:36.04\00:09:38.57
LAW.' AND YOU READ DEUTERONOMY
28, HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE ME AND
00:09:38.61\00:09:42.91
YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS'
- YOU KNOW, RIGHT IN THE TEN
00:09:42.94\00:09:44.78
COMMANDMENTS IT SAYS, 'LOVE
GOD' - IN THE COMMANDMENT ABOUT
00:09:44.81\00:09:47.92
IDOLATRY IT SAYS, 'SHOWING MERCY
UNTO THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT LOVE
00:09:47.95\00:09:51.05
ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.'
SO THE KEY IS LOVING GOD.
00:09:51.09\00:09:55.29
BUT DID THEY KEEP HIS LAW? >>NO.
00:09:55.32\00:09:58.16
>>BEFORE MOSES EVEN CAME DOWN
THE MOUNTAIN THEY MADE A GOLDEN
00:09:58.19\00:10:00.70
CALF - THEY DID IT IN THE
CONTEXT OF WORSHIP - AND THEY
00:10:00.73\00:10:03.83
HAD A WILD PARTY AND BEFORE THE
DAY WAS OVER, IT SAYS, THEY MADE
00:10:03.87\00:10:06.97
THEMSELVES NAKED - IT GOT WAY
OUT OF HAND AND THEY BROKE ALL
00:10:07.00\00:10:10.77
THE LAW - THEY WORSHIPED IDOLS
AND GOD SAID, 'LOOK, YOU DIDN'T
00:10:10.81\00:10:15.14
KEEP OUR COVENANT.' NOW THAT WAS
THE OLD COVENANT WHERE THE LAW
00:10:15.18\00:10:19.91
OF GOD WAS WRITTEN IN
STONE. UPON WHAT IS THE
00:10:19.95\00:10:23.32
NEW COVENANT BASED? IT
TELLS THAT THE NEW COVENANT -
00:10:23.35\00:10:26.76
HE SAYS, "I WILL PUT MY LAW
IN THEIR MIND, AND I'LL WRITE
00:10:26.79\00:10:30.46
THEM IN THEIR
HEARTS." THAT'S HEBREWS 8:10.
00:10:30.49\00:10:33.50
NOW, IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES,
IF YOU TURN IN YOUR BIBLES TO
00:10:33.53\00:10:36.50
JEREMIAH 31:31, WHERE DO
YOU FIRST FIND THE NEW COVENANT?
00:10:36.53\00:10:40.67
NOT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
WHEN PAUL QUOTES THERE, IN
00:10:40.70\00:10:43.57
HEBREWS, THE NEW
COVENANT, HE'S QUOTING JEREMIAH.
00:10:43.61\00:10:47.01
YOU LOOK IN JEREMIAH 31:31,
"'BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING,'
00:10:47.04\00:10:50.91
SAYS THE LORD, 'I WILL MAKE A
NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF
00:10:50.95\00:10:53.62
ISRAEL, WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH,
NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT I
00:10:53.65\00:10:56.65
MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE
DAY I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO
00:10:56.69\00:10:59.39
LEAD THEM OUT OF EGYPT, MY
COVENANT THAT THEY BROKE.'" THEY
00:10:59.42\00:11:03.06
BROKE IT WAY BACK BEFORE
JEREMIAH - "THOUGH I WAS A
00:11:03.09\00:11:05.93
HUSBAND TO THEM. BUT
THIS IS THE NEW COVENANT
00:11:05.96\00:11:08.10
THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AFTER THOSE
00:11:08.13\00:11:09.96
DAYS,' SAYS THE
LORD." - 'I'LL GIVE THEM
00:11:10.00\00:11:12.03
A DIFFERENT LAW.
I'LL CHANGE THE LAW.
00:11:12.07\00:11:14.07
I'LL DO AWAY WITH THE
LAW.' NO. IT DOESN'T SAY THAT.
00:11:14.10\00:11:16.64
I'M JUST WONDERING
IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING.
00:11:16.67\00:11:18.11
HE SAYS, 'I'LL PUT MY LAW'
- SAME LAW - 'IN A DIFFERENT
00:11:18.14\00:11:21.14
PLACE. I'LL PUT
MY LAW IN THEIR MINDS
00:11:21.18\00:11:24.45
AND I'LL WRITE IT IN THEIR
HEARTS, AND I'LL BE THEIR GOD
00:11:24.48\00:11:27.65
AND THEY'LL BE MY PEOPLE.' SO
THE NEW COVENANT IS NOT A CHANGE
00:11:27.68\00:11:31.45
IN THE LAW, THE NEW COVENANT
IS A CHANGE IN THE PLACE
00:11:31.49\00:11:33.62
THE LAW IS WRITTEN.
GOD WRITES HIS LAW IN
00:11:33.66\00:11:36.79
YOUR HEART THROUGH LOVE. >>AMEN.
00:11:36.83\00:11:39.26
>>DOESN'T LIVING UNDER GOD'S
GRACE MAKE KEEPING GOD'S LAW
00:11:39.29\00:11:43.73
NON-ESSENTIAL?
YOU'VE HEARD THAT?
00:11:43.77\00:11:45.40
'I'M NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE.
I'M NOW UNDER GRACE.' AND THE
00:11:45.43\00:11:48.74
BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
NOT BEING UNDER LAW.
00:11:48.77\00:11:50.94
WHAT DOES PAUL MEAN WHEN HE
SAYS, 'NOT BEING UNDER LAW'?
00:11:50.97\00:11:53.74
HE DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE NO
LONGER UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO
00:11:53.78\00:11:57.38
KEEP THE LAW - BECAUSE
JUST FOLLOW THAT THROUGH.
00:11:57.41\00:11:59.51
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE
NOT OBLIGATED TO BE HONEST?
00:11:59.55\00:12:03.05
YOU'RE NOT
OBLIGATED TO NOT STEAL?
00:12:03.08\00:12:06.02
YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN TO
YOUR SPOUSE AND SAY, 'YOU'RE NOT
00:12:06.05\00:12:08.42
OBLIGATED TO KEEP THE SEVENTH
COMMANDMENT.' DOES ANYONE
00:12:08.46\00:12:11.89
BELIEVE THAT? THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS.
00:12:11.93\00:12:14.56
SO PAUL,
CERTAINLY, DOESN'T MEAN THAT.
00:12:14.60\00:12:16.16
HE MEANS, BECAUSE OF THE
SACRIFICE OF JESUS WE ARE NO
00:12:16.20\00:12:19.80
LONGER UNDER THE PENALTY OF
THE LAW.' - THE WAGES ARE DEATH.
00:12:19.83\00:12:25.37
HE'S NOT SAYING YOU'RE NOT
UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO OBEY IT.

00:12:58.77\00:13:01.61
>>I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE
DAY - THIS IS A TRUE STORY - AND
00:13:03.35\00:13:07.35
I WAS DEEP IN THOUGHT - GOING
TOO FAST - AND I MUST HAVE BEEN
00:13:07.38\00:13:10.55
REALLY DEEP IN THOUGHT BECAUSE
I ACTUALLY PASSED - SPEEDING -
00:13:10.59\00:13:15.02
A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN
THAT WAS NEXT TO ME.
00:13:15.06\00:13:18.13
(LAUGHTER) AND HE PULLED ME OVER
- HE WAS PRETTY NICE - AND HE
00:13:18.16\00:13:22.10
SAID, 'LOOK, YOU WEREN'T GOING
THAT FAST, BUT I WAS FOLLOWING
00:13:22.13\00:13:24.07
SOMEONE ELSE AND YOU PASSED
ME AND YOU WERE SPEEDING AND I
00:13:24.10\00:13:26.20
THOUGHT, 'WELL, I CAN'T PULL
THEM OVER IF YOU'RE JUST' - I
00:13:26.23\00:13:28.57
SAID, 'OH, OFFICER, I AM SO
SORRY.' - I SAID - 'I JUST WAS
00:13:28.60\00:13:30.94
ON ONE OF THESE ROADS THAT WAS
70 MILES AN HOUR AND THEN I CAME
00:13:30.97\00:13:33.71
ON - I SWITCHED OFF ONTO THIS
HIGHWAY AND I JUST - I REALLY' -
00:13:33.74\00:13:36.44
I SAID - I SAID, 'CAN
YOU PLEASE HAVE MERCY?'
00:13:36.48\00:13:39.11
(LAUGHTER) NOW I'VE BEEN - I'M
NOT PROUD OF MY DRIVING RECORD
00:13:39.15\00:13:46.92
AND I COULD PROBABLY TEACH
TRAFFIC SCHOOL (LAUGHTER) YOU
00:13:46.96\00:13:51.83
KNOW, I KNOW THE LORD'S COMING
SOON SO WE NEED TO MAKE HASTE
00:13:51.86\00:13:55.03
AND SO I'VE GOTTEN MORE THAN
A COUPLE OF SPEEDING TICKETS.
00:13:55.06\00:13:59.83
AND I SAID, 'PLEASE HAVE MERCY.
00:13:59.87\00:14:02.14
YOU KNOW, MY INSURANCE
JUST FINALLY WENT DOWN.
00:14:02.17\00:14:04.21
I'M TRYING TO KEEP IT THAT WAY'
- (LAUGHTER) - 'AND I CAN'T GO
00:14:04.24\00:14:06.78
HOME AND TELL MY WIFE THAT I
JUST GOT ANOTHER TICKET.' AND I
00:14:06.81\00:14:10.18
JUST CONFESSED, I
SAID, 'I'M GUILTY.
00:14:10.21\00:14:12.25
I REPENT. HAVE MERCY.
ALL I CAN ASK FOR IS MERCY.
00:14:12.28\00:14:14.65
I DON'T WANT JUSTICE, I WANT
MERCY.' (LAUGHTER) AND HE SAID,
00:14:14.68\00:14:17.99
'ALRIGHT.' HE SAID, 'I'M GOING
TO WRITE YOU A WARNING.' AND SO
00:14:18.02\00:14:20.42
HE WRITES ME A WARNING. HE
SAID, 'ALRIGHT, SLOW DOWN.'
00:14:20.46\00:14:23.46
AND I SAID, 'PRAISE THE LORD.'
NOW, I DIDN'T WANT TO PULL OVER
00:14:23.49\00:14:26.63
WHEN HE PULLED ME OVER
BECAUSE I WAS IN A HURRY.
00:14:26.66\00:14:28.73
DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN YOU'RE IN
A HURRY AND THEN THE POLICEMAN
00:14:28.76\00:14:30.47
PULLS YOU OVER AND THEN YOU'RE
REALLY LATE AND YOU HAVE TO SAY,
00:14:30.50\00:14:33.37
'OFFICER, CAN YOU PLEASE HURRY
UP WITH THIS TICKET BECAUSE I'VE
00:14:33.40\00:14:35.17
GOT TO GET GOING?' (LAUGHTER)
00:14:35.20\00:14:36.71
AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
DRIVE TWICE AS FAST BECAUSE
00:14:36.74\00:14:38.24
YOU PULLED ME OVER.' (LAUGHTER)
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
00:14:38.27\00:14:43.14
AND SO, I HAD TO PULL
OVER BECAUSE I BROKE THE LAW.
00:14:43.18\00:14:47.98
AND SO, WHEN I SEE THOSE BLUE
AND RED LIGHTS - YOU EVER NOTICE
00:14:48.02\00:14:52.15
WHEN YOU SEE A POLICEMAN - HOW
MANY OF YOU AUTOMATICALLY TAKE
00:14:52.19\00:14:54.76
YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR?
YOU MAY BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT
00:14:54.79\00:14:58.96
AND YOU SEE A POLICEMAN,
YOU - (LAUGHTER) - AND SO
00:14:58.99\00:15:04.67
I HAD TO PULL OVER. AND
FINALLY, WHEN HE GAVE ME
00:15:04.70\00:15:07.17
BACK THE WARNING HE SAID,
'LOOK, I'M GOING TO LET YOU GO.
00:15:07.20\00:15:09.84
I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A
TICKET.' I'M NO LONGER UNDER THE
00:15:09.87\00:15:13.01
LAW, I'M NOW UNDER
GRACE. HE'S FORGIVEN ME.
00:15:13.04\00:15:16.98
BOY, IT'D BE REALLY GREAT IF HE
SAID, 'LOOK, THERE'S A PENALTY.
00:15:17.01\00:15:19.58
I'M GOING TO PAY YOUR TICKET FOR
YOU.' THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY
00:15:19.61\00:15:21.65
OFTEN, BUT THAT WOULD BE REALLY
A GREAT ILLUSTRATION IF THAT
00:15:21.68\00:15:24.79
HAPPENED. BUT HE
SAID, 'I'M GOING TO LET
00:15:24.82\00:15:27.66
YOU GO.' SO NOW I SAID, 'PRAISE
THE LORD, I'M NO LONGER UNDER
00:15:27.69\00:15:30.76
THE LAW. HE SAID I'M FREE.'
I BELIEVE HIS WORD THAT I'M
00:15:30.79\00:15:33.33
FREE, WHICH MEANS NOW I
GET TO DRIVE 90 MILES AN HOUR.
00:15:33.36\00:15:37.43
SO I REV MY ENGINE AND I PEEL
OUT AWAY FROM THE POLICEMAN,
00:15:37.47\00:15:40.80
SPRAY GRAVEL OVER THE HOOD OF
HIS CAR AND SAY, 'PRAISE GOD I'M
00:15:40.84\00:15:44.24
NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW, I'M
UNDER GRACE NOW.' IS THAT HOW
00:15:44.27\00:15:47.34
YOU DO IT? >>NO!
00:15:47.38\00:15:48.81
>>NO, NO, YOU KNOW WHAT I DID?
00:15:48.84\00:15:50.81
I SAID, 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
OFFICER.' I TOOK OUT SOMETHING,
00:15:50.85\00:15:53.75
I CLEANED OFF MY REARVIEW
MIRROR, I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW,
00:15:53.78\00:15:57.19
I PUT MY BLINKER ON, I PUT IT IN
GEAR, I PULLED OUT VERY SLOW - I
00:15:57.22\00:16:03.26
WAITED 'TIL THERE WERE NO CARS
FOR SIX MILES IN ANY DIRECTION -
00:16:03.29\00:16:06.09
(LAUGHTER) - I PULLED OUT VERY
CAREFULLY AND I WENT LIKE 45 ½
00:16:06.13\00:16:09.33
MILES AN HOUR LOOKING BOTH WAYS
BECAUSE, PRAISE THE LORD, I'VE
00:16:09.36\00:16:12.50
JUST BEEN FORGIVEN. I AM NOW
UNDER GRACE. I AM GOING TO BE
00:16:12.53\00:16:14.90
THE MOST CAREFUL
PERSON ON THE ROAD, RIGHT?
00:16:14.94\00:16:17.81
CHRISTIANS, WHEN THEY
REALIZE WHAT THEIR FORGIVENESS
00:16:17.84\00:16:21.51
HAS COST, WHEN CHRISTIANS
REALIZE WHAT THEIR LAWBREAKING
00:16:21.54\00:16:26.45
HAS COST, SHOULD BE THE ONES WHO
ARE THE MOST CAREFUL NOT TO DO
00:16:26.48\00:16:31.69
THE THING THAT
CRUCIFIED JESUS, AMEN?
00:16:31.72\00:16:34.52
>>AMEN. >>AND BE OBEDIENT.
00:16:34.56\00:16:36.93
SO, NO, WE ARE NOT UNDER
THE LAW, WE ARE UNDER GRACE.
00:16:36.96\00:16:41.43
BUT WHAT DOES PAUL
SAY IN ROMANS 6:15?
00:16:41.46\00:16:43.40
"WHAT THEN? SHALL WE SIN BECAUSE
WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT
00:16:43.43\00:16:47.07
UNDER GRACE? GOD FORBID." HE
SAID, 'DON'T EVEN THINK THAT.'
00:16:47.10\00:16:50.31
AND YET, THAT'S WHAT
SOME CHURCHES ARE TEACHING.
00:16:50.34\00:16:53.44
ROMANS 3:31, "DO WE THEN
MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH?
00:16:53.48\00:16:58.11
GOD FORBID: YEA,
WE ESTABLISH THE LAW."
00:16:58.15\00:17:01.48
WHEN YOU'VE GOT FAITH YOU DON'T
MAKE VOID THE LAW, YOU SEAL IT;
00:17:01.52\00:17:04.15
YOU ENDORSE IT, YOU AFFIRM IT.
00:17:04.19\00:17:06.25
INDEED, JESUS SAID, "AND IT IS
EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO
00:17:06.29\00:17:09.06
PASS, THAN ONE
TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL."
00:17:09.09\00:17:13.43
IS HEAVEN STILL
THERE? IS EARTH STILL THERE?
00:17:13.46\00:17:17.13
THEN GOD'S TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE STILL THERE.
00:17:17.17\00:17:19.40
AND I ALREADY QUOTED YOU, 'JESUS
CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,
00:17:19.43\00:17:21.80
TODAY, AND FOREVER.' SO, ARE
PEOPLE SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW?
00:17:21.84\00:17:26.57
THIS IS A POINT I
NEED TO MAKE VERY CLEAR.
00:17:26.61\00:17:29.14
IS ANYONE SAVED
BY KEEPING THE LAW?
00:17:29.18\00:17:31.31
I'VE HEARD FOLKS SAY, 'WELL,
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THEY WERE
00:17:31.35\00:17:33.55
SAVED BY THE LAW.
NOW WE'RE SAVED BY
00:17:33.58\00:17:35.22
GRACE.' THAT IS NONSENSE.
ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND
00:17:35.25\00:17:40.12
GOD COUNTED IT UNTO
HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:17:40.16\00:17:42.36
ABRAHAM WAS SAVED BY FAITH.
READ HEBREWS 11, IT TALKS ABOUT
00:17:42.39\00:17:46.59
ALL THE OLD TESTAMENT CHARACTERS
WHO WERE SAVED BY FAITH.
00:17:46.63\00:17:50.50
THEY WERE SAVED BY FAITH
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MESSIAH.
00:17:50.53\00:17:53.50
WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING
BACK TO CHRIST. EVERYBODY IS
00:17:53.54\00:17:56.91
SAVED BY JESUS. NOBODY IS SAVED
BY WORKS. WE'RE ALL SAVED BY
00:17:56.94\00:18:02.14
FAITH. WE DO NOT KEEP THE
LAW TO BE SAVED, WE KEEP THE LAW
00:18:02.18\00:18:06.31
BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED. >>AMEN.
00:18:06.35\00:18:08.48
>>JESUS SAID, 'YOU'LL KNOW THEM
BY THEIR FRUITS.' AND IF WE'VE
00:18:08.52\00:18:11.85
GOT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT,
WHICH IS LOVE - AND JESUS SAID,
00:18:11.89\00:18:14.09
'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY
COMMANDMENTS' - EPHESIANS 2:8.
00:18:14.12\00:18:17.86
HE GOES ON TO SAY, "FOR BY GRACE
ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND
00:18:17.89\00:18:21.73
THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS
THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS,
00:18:21.76\00:18:25.63
LEST ANY MAN SHOULD
BOAST." I LIKE WHAT D.L.
00:18:25.67\00:18:28.97
MOODY SAID - HE WAS A
GREAT PREACHER - HE SAID, "THE
00:18:29.00\00:18:32.41
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD GIVEN TO
MOSES IN THE MOUNT AT HOREB ARE
00:18:32.44\00:18:36.28
AS BINDING TODAY AS EVER THEY
HAVE BEEN SINCE THE TIME WHEN
00:18:36.31\00:18:40.12
THEY WERE PROCLAIMED IN
THE HEARING OF THE PEOPLE."
00:18:40.15\00:18:43.02
AND SOMEONE ASKED BILLY GRAHAM
A QUESTION - HE USED TO HAVE A
00:18:43.05\00:18:45.65
QUESTION AND ANSWER THING IN THE
DALLAS NEWS WHERE THEY'D MAIL IN
00:18:45.69\00:18:48.59
QUESTIONS - AND THE QUESTION
WAS, 'DOES GOD STILL EXPECT US
00:18:48.62\00:18:51.76
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
HERE'S THE ANSWER FROM
00:18:51.79\00:18:55.20
DR. GRAHAM, "THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE JUST AS VALID
00:18:55.23\00:18:58.17
TODAY AS WHEN GOD GAVE THEM
TO MOSES OVER 3,000 YEARS AGO.
00:18:58.20\00:19:02.17
JESUS SAID, 'I TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:19:02.20\00:19:04.61
DISAPPEAR, NOT THE SMALLEST
LETTER, NOT THE LEAST STROKE OF
00:19:04.64\00:19:08.78
THE PEN, WILL BY ANY
MEANS DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAW.'"
00:19:08.81\00:19:12.78
WHAT LAW IS IT THEN
THAT WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS?
00:19:12.81\00:19:15.48
AND THIS IS WHERE
SOME PEOPLE GET CONFUSED.
00:19:15.52\00:19:17.99
YOU CAN READ IN COLOSSIANS 2:14
- NOW YOU NEED TO - YOU MIGHT
00:19:18.02\00:19:21.09
WANT TO TAKE A FEW NOTES - AND
THIS WILL BE IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL
00:19:21.12\00:19:23.43
MATERIAL, IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING
ALONG - WE'VE GOT A LESSON THAT
00:19:23.46\00:19:27.93
TALKS ABOUT WRITTEN IN STONE
AND IT EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE
00:19:27.96\00:19:32.13
BETWEEN WHAT LAWS ARE NAILED TO
THE CROSS, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:19:32.17\00:19:35.57
AND THE CEREMONIAL LAWS -
COLOSSIANS 2:14, "BLOTTING OUT
00:19:35.60\00:19:39.44
THE" - NOW I
UNDERLINED THAT - WHAT'S IT SAY?
00:19:39.47\00:19:41.74
- "HANDWRITING...THAT WAS
AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY
00:19:41.78\00:19:47.48
TO US, AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE
WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS."
00:19:47.52\00:19:52.92
NOW, IF YOU GO TO EXODUS 32 -
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT WAS NAILED
00:19:52.95\00:19:56.26
TO THE CROSS - EXODUS 32:16,
"NOW THE TABLETS WERE THE WORK
00:19:56.29\00:20:00.66
OF GOD, AND THE WRITING WAS THE
WRITING OF GOD ENGRAVED ON THE
00:20:00.70\00:20:03.97
TABLETS." - GOD WROTE
AN ENGRAVING OF THE TEN
00:20:04.00\00:20:06.87
COMMANDMENTS - IT IS
GOD-WRITTEN, IT IS NOT
00:20:06.90\00:20:08.44
THE HANDWRITING OF MAN.
BUT, WHAT MOSES WROTE, AS
00:20:08.47\00:20:13.07
FAR AS THE CEREMONIAL LAW
AND ORDINANCES YOU CAN READ IN 2
00:20:13.11\00:20:16.61
CHRONICLES 33:8 - I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE THERE - HE SAYS, "THEY
00:20:16.64\00:20:21.88
WILL TAKE HEED TO DO ALL THAT
I HAVE COMMANDED THEM," - SO GOD
00:20:21.92\00:20:25.35
IS SPEAKING - "ALL THAT I HAVE
COMMANDED THEM, ACCORDING TO THE
00:20:25.39\00:20:27.36
WHOLE LAW AND" - SO AFTER HE
SAYS, 'WHOLE LAW' AND THEN HE
00:20:27.39\00:20:30.56
SAYS, 'AND' -
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:20:30.59\00:20:31.89
AND MEANS WHAT? YOU'RE
ADDING SOMETHING TO IT. "AND THE
00:20:31.93\00:20:34.83
STATUTES AND THE ORDINANCES
BY THE HAND OF MOSES."
00:20:34.86\00:20:40.37
ORDINANCES, HANDWRITING -
THE CEREMONIAL LAWS CONTAINED IN
00:20:40.40\00:20:45.64
ORDINANCES - NOW WHERE DID
THEY PUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:20:45.67\00:20:49.04
WAS IT - IN THE ARK OF
THE COVENANT - WHERE WERE THE
00:20:49.08\00:20:51.98
CEREMONIAL LAWS
PLACED? >>ON THE OUTSIDE.
00:20:52.01\00:20:54.82
>>READ IN DEUTERONOMY 31:26,
"AND TAKE THIS BOOK OF THE LAW,"
00:20:54.85\00:20:59.79
- WRITTEN ON PAPER - "AND PUT
IT IN THE SIDE OF THE ARK OF THE
00:20:59.82\00:21:03.69
COVENANT OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:21:03.73\00:21:05.53
THAT IT MAY BE THERE
FOR A WITNESS AGAINST THEE."
00:21:05.56\00:21:09.26
YOU REMEMBER WHAT
PAUL SAID IN COLOSSIANS?
00:21:09.30\00:21:10.90
HANDWRITING,
ORDINANCES, AGAINST US.
00:21:10.93\00:21:13.97
IT IS SO CLEAR, WHEN YOU
ARE A JEW, LIKE PAUL, AND HE
00:21:14.00\00:21:17.61
UNDERSTOOD THE OLD TESTAMENT
AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE
00:21:17.64\00:21:20.01
HANDWRITING OF MOSES THAT WAS
IN THE CEREMONIAL LAWS, PLACED
00:21:20.04\00:21:23.95
OUTSIDE THE ARK,
TO WITNESS AGAINST US.
00:21:23.98\00:21:26.05
NOT TALKING ABOUT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:21:26.08\00:21:28.12
BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE TWO LAWS.
00:21:28.15\00:21:30.79
EPHESIANS 2:15,
"HAVING ABOLISHED...THE LAW OF
00:21:30.82\00:21:33.99
COMMANDMENTS
CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES."
00:21:34.02\00:21:37.89
SO, ARE THERE SOME LAWS
THAT ARE NAILED TO THE CROSS?
00:21:37.93\00:21:42.00
CAN YOU NAIL STONE TO
ANYTHING? NOT VERY EASILY, HUH?
00:21:42.03\00:21:45.17
IT WAS THE CEREMONIAL LAWS
THAT WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS.
00:21:45.20\00:21:48.57
THIS IS THE LAWS THAT CONTAINED
THE ANNUAL SABBATHS, THE MEAT
00:21:48.60\00:21:52.91
OFFERINGS, THE DRINK OFFERINGS
- SO MANY THINGS THAT REVOLVED
00:21:52.94\00:21:55.14
AROUND THE SANCTUARY AND ITS
SERVICES - THE TEN COMMANDMENT
00:21:55.18\00:21:58.38
LAW IS ETERNAL IN NATURE.
WAS IT A SIN FOR JOSEPH TO
00:21:58.41\00:22:03.12
COMMIT ADULTERY
WITH POTIPHAR'S WIFE?
00:22:03.15\00:22:05.39
>>YES. >>IT WOULD HAVE BEEN.
00:22:05.42\00:22:08.32
YEAH, HE SAID 'HOW CAN I DO
THIS TERRIBLE THING AND SIN?'
00:22:08.36\00:22:11.43
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HADN'T BEEN
WRITTEN YET - IT WAS STILL A SIN
00:22:11.46\00:22:14.66
BEFORE THAT HAPPENED.
WAS - DID GOD TELL CAIN - HE
00:22:14.73\00:22:19.30
SAID, 'SIN IS AT YOUR
DOOR,' WHEN HE WAS THINKING OF
00:22:19.33\00:22:21.37
MURDERING HIS BROTHER. YOU
MEAN WAY BACK IN THE GARDEN
00:22:21.40\00:22:23.91
OF EDEN, BEFORE MOSES
WROTE 'THOU SHALT NOT MURDER.'
00:22:23.94\00:22:25.94
MURDER WAS A SIN.
TEN COMMANDMENTS GO
00:22:25.97\00:22:28.78
ALL THE WAY BACK.
THEY'RE ETERNAL IN NATURE.
00:22:28.81\00:22:32.01
THE CEREMONIAL LAWS DID NOT
APPEAR UNTIL THE EXODUS AND THEY
00:22:32.05\00:22:34.68
ENDED WITH THE CROSS
- THEY'RE TEMPORARY -
00:22:34.72\00:22:37.22
THEY WERE TO HELP US
RECOGNIZE JESUS, FRIENDS.
00:22:37.25\00:22:39.52
THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT SUBJECTS BECAUSE IT'S
00:22:39.55\00:22:43.32
SO STRANGE THAT WE'RE LIVING IN
TIME WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE FUZZY
00:22:43.36\00:22:46.59
ABOUT SOMETHING AS
BASIC AS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:22:46.63\00:22:48.93
I WOULD THINK WE'D NOTICE
THAT WHEN GOD GATHERS A NATION
00:22:48.96\00:22:52.27
TOGETHER AND HE SPEAKS TO THEM
AUDIBLY IN HIS OWN VOICE, ON A
00:22:52.30\00:22:57.57
MOUNTAIN, THUNDER AND SMOKE,
THEN HE TAKES STONE - NOT PAPER
00:22:57.61\00:23:01.48
- AND HE WRITES IT WITH HIS OWN
FINGER, AND HE SAYS, 'PUT IT IN
00:23:01.51\00:23:05.45
THE MOST SACRED LOCATION IN YOUR
NATION' - THE GOLDEN BOX IN THE
00:23:05.48\00:23:09.68
MIDDLE OF THE HOLY OF HOLIES
- THE INNER SANCTUM OF THE
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.99
SANCTUARY - HE
SAYS, 'THIS IS MY WORD.
00:23:12.02\00:23:14.36
I SPOKE TO YOU MY WILL.' AND
FOR CHRISTIANS TO SAY THEY LOVE
00:23:14.39\00:23:18.56
JESUS, WHO HAVE THE AUDACITY
TO SAY, 'HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT
00:23:18.59\00:23:22.83
THAT.' OR 'THAT'S NO LONGER
IMPORTANT.' WHERE IN THE WORLD
00:23:22.86\00:23:27.67
DO WE GET THAT IDEA?
I'LL BE TELLING YOU WHERE
00:23:27.70\00:23:30.74
THAT IDEA COMES FROM,
LATER. BUT FRIENDS, THE BOTTOM
00:23:30.77\00:23:32.81
LINE IS 'DO YOU LOVE ME?' IF
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES
00:23:32.84\00:23:38.05
YOU - BECAUSE HE
DIED TO SAVE YOU.
00:23:38.08\00:23:40.15
I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY ABOUT
A MAN, HE WAS DRIVING TOO FAST
00:23:40.18\00:23:44.59
THROUGH THIS SUBURBAN
NEIGHBORHOOD AND HE SAW THE RED
00:23:44.62\00:23:47.49
AND BLUE LIGHTS AND HE PULLED
OVER AND THE POLICEMAN CAME UP
00:23:47.52\00:23:52.66
AND HE SAID, 'LOOK OFFICER,
I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST.
00:23:52.69\00:23:55.90
I KNOW I DIDN'T STOP COMPLETELY
AT THE STOP SIGN; I KIND OF
00:23:55.93\00:23:58.43
ROLLED THROUGH IT, BUT I LOOKED
AROUND BEFORE I DID AND - AND
00:23:58.47\00:24:01.47
CAN YOU GIVE ME A BREAK?
AND AFTER ALL, I'M ALMOST SURE
00:24:01.50\00:24:03.74
YOU GO TO THE SAME
CHURCH I GO TO.' AND THE OFFICER
00:24:03.77\00:24:07.78
DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
HE WALKED BEHIND THE GUY'S
00:24:07.81\00:24:10.61
CAR AND HE STARTED WRITING.
HE GOT REALLY MAD - THE DRIVER
00:24:10.65\00:24:12.95
- HE SAID, 'MAN, HE COULD HAVE
GIVEN ME A BREAK, YOU KNOW?'
00:24:12.98\00:24:15.08
AND JUST STARTED SLAMMING ON HIS
STEERING WHEEL AND THOUGHT, 'OH,
00:24:15.12\00:24:17.65
MY INSURANCE IS GOING TO GO UP.'
AND HE WAS ALL UPSET AND HE WAS
00:24:17.69\00:24:19.69
FUMING AND FINALLY THE POLICEMAN
CAME OVER, HE TAPPED ON HIS
00:24:19.72\00:24:23.39
WINDOW AND HE JUST
ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN THAT FAR.
00:24:23.43\00:24:26.83
THE POLICEMAN POPPED THE PIECE
OF PAPER THROUGH THE CRACK IN
00:24:26.86\00:24:30.10
THE WINDOW - THE GUY WAS
BEING VERY RUDE NOW - AND THE
00:24:30.13\00:24:33.10
POLICEMAN GOT IN
HIS CAR AND DROVE OFF.
00:24:33.13\00:24:35.14
THE GUY PICKED UP THE PAPER - IT
WASN'T A TICKET, IT WAS A NOTE.
00:24:35.17\00:24:40.34
AND THE POLICEMAN SAID, 'I KNOW
YOU, BOB.' - AND HE SAID, 'I'M
00:24:40.38\00:24:45.15
GOING TO LET YOU GO TODAY.' -
HE SAID, 'I JUST WANT TO LET YOU
00:24:45.18\00:24:48.85
KNOW THAT A SPEEDING DRIVER
KILLED MY DAUGHTER FOUR YEARS
00:24:48.88\00:24:53.72
AGO AND I'M REALLY STRUGGLING TO
FORGIVE, AND I'M HOPING THAT ONE
00:24:53.76\00:24:59.66
MORE ACT OF FORGIVENESS
IS GOING TO HELP ME TODAY.
00:24:59.69\00:25:03.77
PLEASE SLOW DOWN.' SO HERE'S
A QUESTION: WHEN THAT GUY PULLED
00:25:03.80\00:25:08.90
AWAY, DO YOU THINK
HE DROVE DIFFERENT?
00:25:08.94\00:25:14.11
HE WAS FORGIVEN. EVEN
THOUGH THAT OFFICER HAD
00:25:14.14\00:25:18.11
LOST A CHILD TO
A SPEEDER. >>WOW.
00:25:18.15\00:25:21.28
>>WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CROSS,
JESUS IS HANGING THERE, NOT JUST
00:25:21.32\00:25:24.55
FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD,
HE'S HANGING THERE FOR YOUR SIN.
00:25:24.59\00:25:27.19
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
>>HE'S HANGING THERE
00:25:27.22\00:25:28.52
FOR YOUR LAWLESSNESS.
AND HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE ME,
00:25:28.56\00:25:33.06
PLEASE DON'T KEEP DOING THE
THINGS THAT HURT YOU AND THEY
00:25:33.09\00:25:35.63
HURT ME AND THEY HURT OTHERS.'
YOUR DISOBEDIENCE NOT ONLY HURTS
00:25:35.66\00:25:39.43
GOD, IT NOT ONLY HURTS
YOU, IT HURTS YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:25:39.47\00:25:43.30
AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE GOD, AND
BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR,
00:25:43.34\00:25:45.67
AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOURSELF,
YOU WANT TO BE OBEYING GOD'S
00:25:45.71\00:25:49.71
LAW. YOU WILL BE
BLESSED. YOU WILL HAVE PEACE.
00:25:49.74\00:25:52.35
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HAVE THAT PEACE, FRIENDS?
00:25:52.38\00:25:53.85
>>AMEN. >>WOULD
YOU LIKE TO ASK HIM
00:25:53.88\00:25:56.08
TONIGHT? HOW MUCH
CAN WE DO WITHOUT GOD'S
00:25:56.12\00:25:58.22
HELP? >>NOTHING.
00:25:58.25\00:25:59.75
>>NOTHING. ARE WE
SAVED BY OBEYING THE LAW
00:25:59.79\00:26:01.79
OR ARE WE SAVED
BY GRACE? >>GRACE.
00:26:01.82\00:26:03.93
>>BUT IF WE'RE SAVED BY GRACE
AND IF WE LOVE JESUS, WILL WE
00:26:03.96\00:26:06.33
WANT TO OBEY HIS LAW? >>YES.
