male announcer: This
presentation is brought to
00:00:02.10\00:00:03.63
you by the friends of
the Amazing Facts Ministry.

Doug Batchelor: One of
the more bizarre laws in
00:00:09.94\00:00:11.44
Minnesota forbids any game where
participants chase a greased pig
00:00:11.47\00:00:16.41
in order to catch it.
00:00:16.44\00:00:18.61
It's also illegal to throw
knives at men wearing striped
00:00:18.65\00:00:22.38
suits in Natoma, Kansas.
00:00:22.42\00:00:25.29
In West Virginia, using your
ferret for hunting can land you
00:00:25.32\00:00:28.92
in jail for up to 100 days.
00:00:28.96\00:00:31.96
And you'd better not transport
ice cream in your pocket
00:00:31.99\00:00:34.93
in Kentucky.
00:00:34.96\00:00:36.63
It's against the law
to gather seaweed at night
00:00:36.67\00:00:39.43
in New Hampshire.
00:00:39.47\00:00:40.97
And in Vermont, a woman needs
written permission from her
00:00:41.00\00:00:43.77
husband before she can
lawfully wear false teeth.
00:00:43.81\00:00:47.64
Doesn't it seem like
humans excel at making things
00:00:47.68\00:00:50.08
unnecessarily complex?
00:00:50.11\00:00:52.75
On the other hand, God's moral
code is streamlined, simple,
00:00:52.78\00:00:57.05
and totally practical.
00:00:57.09\00:00:59.15
The Ten Commandments are also a
perfect reflection of the loving
00:00:59.19\00:01:03.29
character of God.
00:01:03.32\00:01:05.66
They help us to see sin in
our lives and to point us in the
00:01:05.69\00:01:08.06
right direction.
00:01:08.10\00:01:09.46
So, join me today, as we look
deeper into this essential law
00:01:09.50\00:01:13.57
of love.
00:01:13.60\00:01:15.10
Doug: You know, I
heard an interesting story.
00:01:18.81\00:01:21.78
Pastor Joe Cruz used to share
this illustration, that the
00:01:21.81\00:01:25.11
shrimp out there in the ocean,
when they molt, as they grow,
00:01:25.15\00:01:30.25
they slough off their old skin.
00:01:30.29\00:01:32.72
They have to swim down to the
bottom of the shore, and they
00:01:32.75\00:01:37.09
grab a piece of sand, and with
their little hands, they've got
00:01:37.13\00:01:40.13
a crevice in their head with
a little pocket in it, and they
00:01:40.16\00:01:43.06
push a piece of sand
down in there, and it's called
00:01:43.10\00:01:45.13
a status stone.
00:01:45.17\00:01:46.97
And what happens is when the
shrimp are getting beat up in
00:01:47.00\00:01:49.10
the waves and the currents,
and they're all swirling around,
00:01:49.14\00:01:51.31
they always know how to swim
right side up, because they've
00:01:51.34\00:01:54.34
got this little piece of sand in
their head that helps them keep
00:01:54.38\00:01:57.21
their equilibrium, and so
that they know which end is up.
00:01:57.25\00:02:00.85
Well, a marine
biologist got a bright idea.
00:02:00.88\00:02:02.75
He got an aquarium and filled
them up with shrimp, but in the
00:02:02.78\00:02:05.45
bottom of the
aquarium there was no sand.
00:02:05.49\00:02:08.19
He put little iron pellets.
00:02:08.22\00:02:11.23
And when it came time for them
to molt and to replace their
00:02:11.26\00:02:13.86
status stone, they went down
there; not finding any sand,
00:02:13.90\00:02:17.13
they all grabbed a little piece
of iron, and they stuck it in
00:02:17.17\00:02:18.97
the crevice with their little
claws, and everything was fine.
00:02:19.00\00:02:22.77
But this marine
biologist had a sense of humor.
00:02:22.80\00:02:24.81
So, he got a large
electromagnet, and he put it
00:02:24.84\00:02:27.61
across the top of the aquarium.
00:02:27.64\00:02:29.81
It was like a bar.
00:02:29.84\00:02:32.31
And he flipped the switch and
turned it on; and as soon as he
00:02:32.35\00:02:34.42
did, all the shrimp spun around
and began to swim upside down.
00:02:34.45\00:02:40.16
And he would watch that,
and he turned it off, and they
00:02:40.19\00:02:42.19
swam normal.
00:02:42.22\00:02:43.56
And he turned it back
on, they flipped upside down.
00:02:43.59\00:02:44.89
He thought, "This is amazing."
Then he got another idea.
00:02:44.93\00:02:48.03
He said, "I wonder what'll
happen if I take a normal shrimp
00:02:48.06\00:02:50.60
that's got the normal rock
in his head and drop him in with
00:02:50.63\00:02:54.17
the other shrimp, will he flip
upside down to fit in, or will
00:02:54.20\00:02:58.47
he swim appropriately?
00:02:58.51\00:03:01.41
So, he did that.
00:03:01.44\00:03:02.68
He dropped this other shrimp in
that was a normal shrimp with a
00:03:02.71\00:03:04.51
piece of sand in his head, with
all the other shrimps that had
00:03:04.55\00:03:06.65
rusty iron in their heads, and
this one shrimp, he swam right
00:03:06.68\00:03:12.42
side up, and all the other
shrimp began to talk about him.
00:03:12.45\00:03:17.03
I don't know if that's true.
00:03:17.06\00:03:19.43
But you can imagine
what they were thinking.
00:03:19.46\00:03:21.10
"Who does this guy think he is?
Why is he swimming upside down?"
00:03:21.13\00:03:23.57
He was actually the only one
that was swimming right side up.
00:03:23.60\00:03:26.97
That's what's
happening in our world today.
00:03:27.00\00:03:29.44
We've got people
everywhere swimming upside down.
00:03:29.47\00:03:31.37
And since everyone else is
swimming upside down, we think
00:03:31.41\00:03:33.17
we're supposed to
flip upside down, too.
00:03:33.21\00:03:37.38
Someone once said because a
million people believe a dumb
00:03:37.41\00:03:39.65
idea, it's still a dumb idea.
00:03:39.68\00:03:43.85
Moses said, "Do not
follow a multitude to do evil."
00:03:43.89\00:03:47.19
And we're being just bombarded
by media or the idea that we're
00:03:47.22\00:03:52.49
supposed to sacrifice our
principles so that we could fit
00:03:52.53\00:03:55.46
in with the culture today.
00:03:55.50\00:03:56.90
We will not be
judged by the culture.
00:03:56.93\00:03:58.63
We're going to be
judged by the Word of God.
00:03:58.67\00:04:01.84
Now, the title for our
presentation tonight is
00:04:01.87\00:04:04.61
"The Commands of the King."
00:04:04.64\00:04:07.24
You might be thinking, "Pastor
Doug, in a prophecy seminar like
00:04:07.28\00:04:09.61
this, why are we
talking about the law of God?
00:04:09.64\00:04:13.18
Let me give you three quotes
from the book of Revelation, the
00:04:13.21\00:04:15.65
book of prophecy in the Bible,
the last book in the Bible.
00:04:15.68\00:04:17.89
Revelation chapter 12, verse 17,
"The dragon was wroth with the
00:04:17.92\00:04:22.42
woman, and he went to make
war with the remnant of her seed
00:04:22.46\00:04:26.49
that keeps the
commandments of God."
00:04:26.53\00:04:29.16
Who does the
devil make war with?
00:04:29.20\00:04:30.80
The ones who keep
the commandments of God.
00:04:30.83\00:04:32.90
You look in Revelation chapter
14, verse 12, "Here is the
00:04:32.93\00:04:36.50
patience of the saints.
00:04:36.54\00:04:37.97
Here are those who
keep the commandments of God
00:04:38.01\00:04:41.21
and have the faith of Jesus."
00:04:41.24\00:04:43.24
Go to the last
chapter in the Bible.
00:04:43.28\00:04:45.21
It's real easy to find, last
chapter in Revelation, and it
00:04:45.25\00:04:48.68
said, "Blessed are those that
keep His commandments, that they
00:04:48.72\00:04:51.75
might have a right to the tree
of life and enter in through the
00:04:51.79\00:04:55.26
gates of the city."
00:04:55.29\00:04:56.69
So, here's three times in
Revelation it says that the
00:04:56.73\00:04:59.36
people who are going to be
successful and survive are the
00:04:59.39\00:05:02.96
ones who are obedient.
00:05:03.00\00:05:04.90
Indeed, when you look at the
messages of Jesus to the seven
00:05:04.93\00:05:07.10
churches in chapters 2 and 3 of
Revelation, it says, "to him who
00:05:07.14\00:05:09.84
overcomes," "to him
who overcomes," "to him who
00:05:09.87\00:05:11.34
overcomes," seven times.
00:05:11.37\00:05:13.78
God wants His people
to be an obedient people.
00:05:13.81\00:05:16.98
Now, I believe--in case there's
any question--I don't want you
00:05:17.01\00:05:19.48
to doubt this at all.
00:05:19.51\00:05:20.92
We are saved by
grace through faith.
00:05:20.95\00:05:23.42
We are saved by faith.
00:05:23.45\00:05:25.32
But I believe when you are
saved by faith, you will obey.
00:05:25.35\00:05:29.49
Obedience is not legalism.
00:05:29.52\00:05:32.79
Some pastors are making it sound
today like if you believe in or
00:05:32.83\00:05:35.83
talk about obedience, you
are automatically a legalist.
00:05:35.86\00:05:38.90
The Bible does not teach that.
00:05:38.93\00:05:40.54
The Bible teaches that we
are to be obedient to God.
00:05:40.57\00:05:43.94
He wants to save us
from our sins, right?
00:05:43.97\00:05:45.97
Did Jesus keep
the Ten Commandments?
00:05:46.01\00:05:48.98
What is a Christian?
00:05:49.01\00:05:50.91
A Christian is a
follower of Christ.
00:05:50.95\00:05:52.85
Isn't that right?
00:05:52.88\00:05:54.52
So, if we do what
Jesus did, you're safe.
00:05:54.55\00:05:57.32
What does the Bible say?
00:05:57.35\00:05:58.99
John 15, verse 10, Christ
said, "I have kept My Father's
00:05:59.02\00:06:02.92
commandments and
abide in His love."
00:06:02.96\00:06:06.39
The Bible says, "Thy word I have
hidden in my heart that I might
00:06:06.43\00:06:09.16
not sin against thee."
00:06:09.20\00:06:11.80
How many people have sinned?
00:06:11.83\00:06:14.50
According to the Bible, "All
have sinned and fallen short of
00:06:14.54\00:06:18.24
the glory of God."
00:06:18.27\00:06:20.24
Everybody sins.
00:06:20.28\00:06:21.81
So, we're not talking about
that there's no hope for anyone
00:06:21.84\00:06:24.08
because we've
all broken God's law.
00:06:24.11\00:06:27.02
What is the punishment
for living a life of sin?
00:06:27.05\00:06:30.22
"The wages of sin is death."
00:06:30.25\00:06:33.15
It's very serious.
00:06:33.19\00:06:34.89
And when God saves us, he
doesn't want us to just cut down
00:06:34.92\00:06:38.79
on our sin
because sin is deadly.
00:06:38.83\00:06:42.13
He wants to
save us from our sin.
00:06:42.16\00:06:44.10
And the Lord can help you stop
the things and the addictions
00:06:44.13\00:06:49.77
that are a problem in your life.
00:06:49.80\00:06:51.24
He can help you stop lying.
00:06:51.27\00:06:53.24
He can help you stop stealing.
00:06:53.27\00:06:55.18
And yet, even the churches
say, "Pastor Doug, now you're
00:06:55.21\00:06:57.55
getting legalistic."
00:06:57.58\00:06:59.68
I remember John Lomacang
and I were doing an interview, a
00:06:59.71\00:07:03.55
debate on television, channel
42, oh, it must be 30 years ago,
00:07:03.59\00:07:07.62
with some other ministers
about the commandments.
00:07:07.66\00:07:10.79
And these ministers
said, "We're not under the law.
00:07:10.83\00:07:13.03
Nobody can keep the law."
00:07:13.06\00:07:15.33
And I said, "Are you
telling me that nobody can keep
00:07:15.36\00:07:17.43
the Ten Commandments?"
00:07:17.47\00:07:18.80
They said, "No."
00:07:18.83\00:07:20.54
I said, "So, God gave people
a law, told them to keep it, and
00:07:20.57\00:07:23.37
then punished them for not
keeping it, and He knew they
00:07:23.41\00:07:25.91
could never keep it."
00:07:25.94\00:07:27.98
"So, that's right.
00:07:28.01\00:07:29.38
He needed them to understand
that they couldn't do it, and so
00:07:29.41\00:07:31.41
that He was just going to have
to forgive them through Jesus."
00:07:31.45\00:07:34.08
I said, "You don't think we can
keep any of the commandments?"
00:07:34.12\00:07:37.42
I said, "You married?"
00:07:37.45\00:07:40.76
I said, "How about
the seventh commandment?"
00:07:40.79\00:07:43.89
I said, "Do you believe
the devil can tempt us to sin?"
00:07:43.93\00:07:47.03
"Yeah."
00:07:47.03\00:07:48.50
Said, "But you don't think
Jesus can keep us from sin?"
00:07:48.53\00:07:51.17
So, in my book, Jesus said,
"Greater is He that is in you
00:07:51.20\00:07:53.44
than he that is in the world."
00:07:53.47\00:07:55.77
Got all these bumper
stickers out that say Christians
00:07:55.80\00:07:57.17
aren't perfect.
00:07:57.21\00:07:58.81
They're just forgiven.
00:07:58.84\00:08:00.48
And while I agree that
Christians may not be perfect,
00:08:00.51\00:08:01.91
we are more than just forgiven.
00:08:01.94\00:08:03.95
We should be different.
00:08:03.98\00:08:05.55
God has called us
to lives of holiness.
00:08:05.58\00:08:07.25
The penalty for sin is death.
00:08:07.28\00:08:09.15
Jesus came to save us from
that by giving us new hearts.
00:08:09.18\00:08:12.75
Some say the Ten
Commandments are not binding for
00:08:12.79\00:08:14.86
New Testament Christians.
00:08:14.89\00:08:16.32
What does Jesus say about that?
00:08:16.36\00:08:18.96
"If you would enter into
life, keep the commandments."
00:08:18.99\00:08:22.26
Now, is that ambiguous?
00:08:22.30\00:08:24.17
Is that difficult to understand,
or is that pretty plain coming
00:08:24.20\00:08:27.57
from the lips of our Savior?
00:08:27.60\00:08:30.07
If you would--and someone came
to Him and said, "Lord, what
00:08:30.11\00:08:32.57
must I do to be saved?"
00:08:32.61\00:08:34.11
He says, "Do you
know the commandments?"
00:08:34.14\00:08:35.98
And now he could've
said, "Well, I've broken them."
00:08:36.01\00:08:37.38
And He would say, "Well,
I'll forgive you for the ones
00:08:37.41\00:08:38.85
you've broken, but take
up your cross and follow Me."
00:08:38.88\00:08:41.95
I live a new life.
Jesus healed people.
00:08:41.98\00:08:44.59
He said, "Go and sin no
more lest a worse thing come
00:08:44.62\00:08:46.69
upon you."
00:08:46.72\00:08:48.02
How can that be confused?
00:08:48.06\00:08:49.82
God wants us to stop our
disobedience and not just be
00:08:49.86\00:08:52.86
Christians in word but in deed.
00:08:52.89\00:08:56.06
This is the
Scriptures, friends. Amen?
00:08:56.10\00:08:58.97
But you don't
hear this very often.
00:08:59.00\00:09:00.40
And there's a lot--that's why
so many people are going to come
00:09:00.44\00:09:02.14
to Jesus in the last days.
00:09:02.17\00:09:03.77
"Okay, great.
Lord, Lord, here I am."
00:09:03.81\00:09:06.34
And He's going to
say, "I don't know you."
00:09:06.37\00:09:08.11
"Oh, but I taught in
your streets and did many
00:09:08.14\00:09:09.84
wonderful works."
00:09:09.88\00:09:11.45
He says, "Depart from
Me, you who are lawless."
00:09:11.48\00:09:15.52
In a translation,
that's what it says.
00:09:15.55\00:09:17.42
"You who work iniquity--"
00:09:17.45\00:09:20.12
A lot of people
just-- they want Jesus,
00:09:20.16\00:09:22.06
they want the benefits,
they want the peace of mind.
00:09:22.09\00:09:24.16
They don't want to
surrender their lives and obey.
00:09:24.19\00:09:28.06
"If you would enter into
life, keep the commandments."
00:09:28.10\00:09:30.13
Jesus said, "If
you love Me," do what?
00:09:30.17\00:09:33.30
"Keep My commandments."
00:09:33.34\00:09:35.30
Heard about this man that
he had a drinking problem.
00:09:35.34\00:09:39.71
And he would come home drunk
late every night, and his wife
00:09:39.74\00:09:42.61
would get so exasperated.
00:09:42.64\00:09:44.41
Had to be
stumbling around the house.
00:09:44.45\00:09:45.78
She'd just lock him out.
00:09:45.81\00:09:47.75
And then he'd stand out there
below their two-story house, and
00:09:47.78\00:09:50.55
he'd billow up to the window
and say, "Honey, open up."
00:09:50.59\00:09:53.15
And all the neighbors
would start waking up.
00:09:53.19\00:09:54.72
"Open up."
00:09:54.76\00:09:56.06
And then he'd always say,
"I've got three words for you:
00:09:56.09\00:09:57.99
'I love you, I love you.'"
00:09:58.03\00:10:00.56
And she'd get tired
of him bellowing out
00:10:00.60\00:10:02.70
there, and she'd go
down, and she's surrender,
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.30
and she'd open the door.
00:10:04.33\00:10:05.70
This happened time and
time again until one night she
00:10:05.73\00:10:07.87
couldn't take it anymore.
00:10:07.90\00:10:09.24
She'd locked him out.
00:10:09.27\00:10:10.57
He's out there on
the street, waking up
00:10:10.61\00:10:12.24
the whole neighborhood.
00:10:12.27\00:10:13.61
"Three words: 'I
love you, I love you.'"
00:10:13.64\00:10:15.81
She opened the
door, decided to practice
00:10:15.84\00:10:18.18
some tough love, and she said,
"I've got two words for you:
00:10:18.21\00:10:19.88
'Prove it,'" and
she locked the door.
00:10:19.91\00:10:23.25
So, it's one thing to say,
"I love you, Lord, I love you,
00:10:23.28\00:10:24.99
Lord," and a lot of Christians
sing, "I love you, Lord,
00:10:25.02\00:10:27.32
I love you, Lord,"
but they don't obey Him.
00:10:27.36\00:10:30.79
The best way to show, "Obedience
is better than sacrifice,"
00:10:30.83\00:10:34.36
the Bible says.
00:10:34.40\00:10:35.73
The highest form of worship
is to obey God, to do His will.
00:10:35.76\00:10:43.27
"Blessed are those
who do His commandments."
00:10:43.30\00:10:45.27
I shared this with you earlier,
Revelation 22:14, last chapter
00:10:45.31\00:10:47.78
in the Bible.
00:10:47.81\00:10:49.11
It is a prophecy subject.
We don't understand this.
00:10:49.14\00:10:51.81
None of the mark of the beast
and any of that is going to even
00:10:51.85\00:10:53.82
matter if you don't
understand God wants a people
00:10:53.85\00:10:56.15
that will obey.
00:10:56.18\00:10:57.55
"Here is the patience of the
saints; here are those who keep
00:10:57.59\00:11:00.06
the commandments of God
and the faith of Jesus."
00:11:00.09\00:11:02.86
Revelation 14:12.
00:11:02.89\00:11:05.03
How is it possible to
keep the commandments?
00:11:05.06\00:11:08.23
I mean, we're all weak.
00:11:08.26\00:11:09.90
We all struggle with sin and the
devil and temptation every day,
00:11:09.93\00:11:13.47
but He can transform you.
00:11:13.50\00:11:15.64
Romans 8:3-4, Paul said, "God
did this by sending His own Son.
00:11:15.67\00:11:21.51
He condemned sin in the
flesh," meaning in us, "that the
00:11:21.54\00:11:24.88
righteous requirement of the
law might be fulfilled in us."
00:11:24.91\00:11:30.12
I came to the Lord, I had a
terrible problem with cursing
00:11:30.15\00:11:33.82
and using God's name in vain,
but the Holy Spirit came into my
00:11:33.86\00:11:36.39
mind; and through the power of
Christ in me, I was able to get
00:11:36.42\00:11:40.13
the victory over
that, and many other things.
00:11:40.16\00:11:43.90
And the Lord can
give you the victory.
00:11:43.93\00:11:45.40
He can change you.
00:11:45.43\00:11:46.80
Don't
underestimate the power of God.
00:11:46.84\00:11:49.04
"He who has begun a good work in
you will complete it until the
00:11:49.07\00:11:51.74
day of Jesus Christ."
00:11:51.77\00:11:53.44
Philippians 1:6.
00:11:53.48\00:11:55.71
"I can do all
things--" How many things?
00:11:55.74\00:11:57.91
"--all things through
Christ who strengthens me."
00:11:57.95\00:12:02.22
Now, what is the old
covenant; and why did it fail?
00:12:02.25\00:12:05.89
And I want to just illustrate
something I think most
00:12:05.92\00:12:07.62
of us know.
00:12:07.66\00:12:08.99
We've got Bibles.
00:12:09.02\00:12:10.33
And in most normal Bibles,
you've got your New Testament
00:12:10.36\00:12:12.76
and your Old Testament.
00:12:12.79\00:12:14.10
I just got lucky and grabbed
right here, this is the New
00:12:14.10\00:12:17.00
Testament is about
one-quarter of your Bible.
00:12:17.03\00:12:20.64
Old Testament--the word
"testament" and "covenant" are
00:12:20.67\00:12:22.47
the same thing.
00:12:22.50\00:12:24.07
All of this is inspired.
00:12:24.11\00:12:26.64
People often call this the old
covenant and this New Testament
00:12:26.68\00:12:28.48
our new covenant.
00:12:28.51\00:12:29.81
What does that mean?
00:12:29.84\00:12:31.15
What is that
distinction all about?
00:12:31.18\00:12:33.38
The Bible tells us in Hebrews
that the old covenant was
00:12:33.42\00:12:35.85
replaced by the new covenant,
and I believe we are saved by
00:12:35.88\00:12:38.89
the new covenant.
00:12:38.92\00:12:41.99
Do you know how that goes?
00:12:42.02\00:12:43.43
By the way, where do you first
find the--where do you find
00:12:43.46\00:12:45.29
the new covenant?
00:12:45.33\00:12:48.16
In the Old Testament.
00:12:48.20\00:12:50.50
In Jeremiah 31:31, it says,
"A new covenant I will make with
00:12:50.53\00:12:53.37
the house of
Israel after those days."
00:12:53.40\00:12:56.44
So, some people think
that people are saved by
00:12:56.47\00:12:59.34
the old covenant.
00:12:59.37\00:13:01.28
Everybody's really saved by the
new covenant, even the people in
00:13:01.31\00:13:03.75
the Old Testament.
00:13:03.78\00:13:06.48
I'm going to get to that
in a little more detail here.
00:13:06.51\00:13:09.15
"So He declared to you His
covenant that He commanded you
00:13:09.18\00:13:11.82
to perform, the
Ten Commandments."
00:13:11.85\00:13:14.56
What is the covenant?
00:13:14.59\00:13:16.76
"The Ten Commandments:
and He wrote them on
00:13:16.79\00:13:18.46
two tables of stone."
00:13:18.49\00:13:20.40
In the beginning, when the
children of Israel heard God
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.53
proclaim His
law--first, He proclaimed it.
00:13:22.56\00:13:25.23
If you're going to make a
contract with someone, first you
00:13:25.27\00:13:26.84
get a verbal agreement.
00:13:26.87\00:13:28.37
When you both agree verbally,
then you write it down.
00:13:28.40\00:13:30.21
Isn't that how you do it?
00:13:30.24\00:13:31.81
No sense--you go to a car
dealership, you're going to go
00:13:31.84\00:13:34.38
back and forth
haggling with the dealer.
00:13:34.41\00:13:36.08
When you finally agree on a
number, then they write it down.
00:13:36.11\00:13:37.98
Then they do the contract.
00:13:38.01\00:13:39.45
They don't keep
writing contracts.
00:13:39.48\00:13:41.58
And so, God pronounced His law
audibly for the whole nation,
00:13:41.62\00:13:44.99
Ten Commandments.
00:13:45.02\00:13:46.55
The people said, "All the
Lord has said, we will do."
00:13:46.59\00:13:48.22
They made a promise:
"We will keep the covenant."
00:13:48.26\00:13:52.06
Well, while Moses was getting
the written copy, they had a
00:13:52.09\00:13:55.43
wild party, they made a golden
calf, they worshiped idols and
00:13:55.46\00:13:57.83
broke all the
other commandments.
00:13:57.87\00:14:00.27
And the Bible says in
Hebrews 8:8, "Because finding
00:14:00.30\00:14:03.47
fault with them--"
00:14:03.51\00:14:05.17
What was the fault
of the old covenant?
00:14:05.21\00:14:06.84
Was it the law or the people?
00:14:06.88\00:14:09.78
They broke the
terms of the covenant.
00:14:09.81\00:14:12.71
"Finding fault with them, He
said, 'I'll make a new covenant
00:14:12.75\00:14:15.22
with the house of Israel.'"
00:14:15.25\00:14:16.82
By the way, who is the
new covenant made with?
00:14:16.85\00:14:20.32
The house of Israel.
00:14:20.36\00:14:22.46
You find nowhere in the Bible it
says, "I'll make a new covenant
00:14:22.49\00:14:24.66
with the Gentiles."
00:14:24.69\00:14:26.66
Everybody saved is saved through
the covenant that He made with
00:14:26.70\00:14:28.93
the house of Israel.
00:14:28.96\00:14:30.33
That's who He makes
the new covenant with.
00:14:30.37\00:14:32.20
But we, as Christians,
are grafted into the stock
00:14:32.23\00:14:35.30
of Abraham.
00:14:35.34\00:14:36.71
We become Abraham's seed by
faith, so Paul tells us in the
00:14:36.74\00:14:40.41
New Testament.
00:14:40.44\00:14:42.28
Upon what law is
the new covenant based?
00:14:42.31\00:14:46.31
Same law.
00:14:46.35\00:14:48.08
Hebrews 8:10, "'For this is
the covenant that I will make,'
00:14:48.12\00:14:51.02
says the Lord: 'I
will put my law--'"
00:14:51.05\00:14:53.52
Now He's talking
about the new covenant.
00:14:53.56\00:14:54.96
"'I'll put my law,'" same law,
"'in their mind and write them
00:14:54.99\00:14:58.03
in their hearts.'"
00:14:58.06\00:14:59.56
It's the same law
written in a different place.
00:14:59.59\00:15:03.53
See, for the Christian, it's not
just the letter of the law; it's
00:15:03.57\00:15:06.43
the spirit of the law.
00:15:06.47\00:15:08.80
Christ, when He began teaching,
He said, "It's not just the
00:15:08.84\00:15:11.74
action; it's the attitude."
00:15:11.77\00:15:14.94
It's not just the
action of committing adultery.
00:15:14.98\00:15:17.38
Jesus said, "If you're thinking
about adultery in your heart,
00:15:17.41\00:15:19.51
you're guilty of the attitude.
00:15:19.55\00:15:21.08
You're breaking the law."
00:15:21.12\00:15:22.58
He wants us to keep it in
our lives and in our hearts, but
00:15:22.62\00:15:25.22
you've got to start in
the heart, if it's going to be
00:15:25.25\00:15:27.59
kept in the life.
00:15:27.62\00:15:29.06
See what I'm saying?
So, you need a new heart.
00:15:29.09\00:15:31.53
You can not only break the law,
but it says murder by committing
00:15:31.56\00:15:35.40
homicide, but you can break it,
Jesus said, by being angry with
00:15:35.43\00:15:38.73
your brother without a cause.
00:15:38.77\00:15:40.50
Doug: Don't go
anywhere, friends.
00:15:41.97\00:15:43.37

Let's return now to today's
presentation and learn some more
00:16:42.63\00:16:45.70
amazing facts
from the Word of God.
00:16:45.73\00:16:48.27
Doug: The new covenant is
about the law of God in our
00:16:49.77\00:16:51.41
hearts, and then
we'll keep it in our lives.
00:16:51.44\00:16:54.58
We'll be keeping the spirit;
and once you keep the spirit,
00:16:54.61\00:16:56.91
you will
automatically keep the letter.
00:16:56.95\00:16:59.01
Did that make sense? Thank you.
00:16:59.05\00:17:01.52
Doesn't living under
grace and faith make keeping
00:17:01.55\00:17:04.35
the law non-essential?
00:17:04.39\00:17:06.62
No, it's actually the opposite.
00:17:06.65\00:17:09.39
Paul says in
Romans 6:15, "What then?
00:17:09.42\00:17:12.06
Shall we sin because we're not
under the law but under grace?
00:17:12.09\00:17:15.63
Certainly not! God forbid."
00:17:15.66\00:17:18.87
Romans 3:31, "Do we then
make void the law through faith?
00:17:18.90\00:17:22.20
Certainly not!"
00:17:22.24\00:17:24.27
And the King
James says, "God forbid.
00:17:24.31\00:17:26.21
On the contrary.
It's the opposite.
00:17:26.24\00:17:28.11
We establish the law
by faith in our lives."
00:17:28.14\00:17:32.81
Jesus said, "It's not
the hearers of the law
00:17:32.85\00:17:34.22
that are just."
00:17:34.25\00:17:35.55
Or actually, Paul says
this in Romans chapter 3--let me
00:17:35.58\00:17:38.92
see--chapter 2, verse 13.
00:17:38.95\00:17:40.62
"It is not the hearers of the
law that are just before God,
00:17:40.66\00:17:42.99
but the doers of the
law will be justified."
00:17:43.02\00:17:46.09
That's just so clear.
00:17:46.13\00:17:47.50
Christ said, "Think not that
I've come to destroy the law or
00:17:47.50\00:17:49.33
the prophets.
00:17:49.36\00:17:50.67
Do not think this."
00:17:50.70\00:17:52.63
He said, "I did not
come to destroy but fulfill."
00:17:52.67\00:17:54.64
And people think fulfill
means that He kept it and now we
00:17:54.67\00:17:57.37
don't have to.
00:17:57.41\00:17:58.81
That's absurd.
00:17:58.84\00:18:00.31
The word "fulfill"
does not mean take away.
00:18:00.34\00:18:02.68
It means to fill it
full; otherwise, Jesus would be
00:18:02.71\00:18:05.45
saying, "Do not think
that I came to destroy the law.
00:18:05.48\00:18:08.15
I did not come to destroy
the law but to do away with it."
00:18:08.18\00:18:11.45
That wouldn't make
any sense, would it?
00:18:11.49\00:18:13.56
Fulfill means to
fulfill it in your life.
00:18:13.59\00:18:17.49
He said that the blessing is
on those who do and teach it.
00:18:17.53\00:18:22.76
Are people saved
by keeping the law?
00:18:22.80\00:18:25.40
No.
00:18:25.43\00:18:26.87
"For by grace you have
been saved through faith, not of
00:18:26.90\00:18:29.67
yourselves; it is a
gift of God, not of works,
00:18:29.70\00:18:33.27
lest any man should boast."
00:18:33.31\00:18:36.34
I remember one time when a
policeman pulled me over, and I
00:18:36.38\00:18:42.45
actually passed him.
00:18:42.48\00:18:44.09
I was deep in thought, and I
don't know what I was thinking.
00:18:44.12\00:18:46.09
I'd just come off a road where
you drive 70 miles an hour.
00:18:46.12\00:18:48.76
Now I'm on another highway,
and it's 50 miles an hour, and I
00:18:48.79\00:18:51.33
went zinging by a
highway patrolman, while he was
00:18:51.36\00:18:53.13
following another car.
00:18:53.16\00:18:54.46
He had left that car,
and he got behind me, and
00:18:54.50\00:18:56.00
he pulled me over.
00:18:56.03\00:18:57.60
And he said--you know, you see,
I had places to go, people to
00:18:57.63\00:18:59.63
see, things to do.
00:18:59.67\00:19:01.07
I did not want to pull over; but
when you see the blue and white
00:19:01.10\00:19:03.07
lights in the back, and you
look at your--how many of you
00:19:03.10\00:19:06.24
automatically look at
your speedometer when you see
00:19:06.27\00:19:08.41
a highway patrolman?
00:19:08.44\00:19:10.11
How many of you
automatically take your foot off
00:19:10.15\00:19:11.78
the accelerator?
00:19:11.81\00:19:13.11
You're going five miles
an hour, and you go--it's
00:19:13.15\00:19:15.75
a guilty conscience.
00:19:15.78\00:19:18.35
So, once I broke the
law, I am under the law.
00:19:18.39\00:19:23.49
When you break it,
you're under the law.
00:19:23.53\00:19:25.29
I did not want to pull
over, but I had to pull over.
00:19:25.33\00:19:28.16
He came over to me, and I
said, "Officer, can you please
00:19:28.20\00:19:31.57
have mercy?
00:19:31.60\00:19:33.00
I just came off the freeway.
It was 70 miles an hour.
00:19:33.03\00:19:35.50
I wasn't paying
attention. Please--"
00:19:35.54\00:19:36.87
He said, "You weren't
going that fast, but I was
00:19:36.91\00:19:38.47
following someone,
and you passed me."
00:19:38.51\00:19:41.44
I said, "I am so sorry."
00:19:41.48\00:19:43.81
Said, "You know, I've
got to believe that you just
00:19:43.85\00:19:45.25
weren't thinking."
00:19:45.28\00:19:46.65
I said, "Have mercy."
00:19:46.68\00:19:47.98
I said, "My insurance
rates are going to go up.
00:19:48.02\00:19:49.32
My wife's going to find out, and
then you know how that goes."
00:19:49.35\00:19:51.89
And I said--he
said, "Ah, yeah, okay."
00:19:51.92\00:19:54.56
So, he said, "I'll have mercy."
00:19:54.59\00:19:56.22
And I was so thankful because,
you know, you get the feeling
00:19:56.26\00:19:58.29
when you get pulled over, and
they walk back, and they check
00:19:58.33\00:19:59.93
your license plate, and
they're taking little notes.
00:19:59.96\00:20:01.76
You're going, "Oh, man.
00:20:01.80\00:20:03.80
I've got to go to traffic school
again," and all these things.
00:20:03.83\00:20:06.84
And when he came back over,
he said, "Okay, I'm giving you
00:20:06.87\00:20:10.61
a warning.
00:20:10.64\00:20:12.04
It won't be on
your record. Slow down."
00:20:12.07\00:20:15.31
I said,
"Hallelujah." I was so thankful.
00:20:15.34\00:20:20.38
So, I thought, "Praise the Lord,
I am no longer under the law.
00:20:20.42\00:20:23.32
I'm now under grace."
00:20:23.35\00:20:25.55
So, before he got back to his
car, I revved my engine, and I
00:20:25.59\00:20:30.33
popped it into second, I let out
the clutch, and I went peeling
00:20:30.36\00:20:32.93
away, spraying gravel all
over his hood because I thought,
00:20:32.96\00:20:35.93
"I am not under the
law; now I'm under grace."
00:20:35.96\00:20:38.60
And I went 90 miles an hour.
00:20:38.63\00:20:40.74
Is that what I did?
00:20:40.77\00:20:42.24
Oh, no.
00:20:42.27\00:20:43.84
I put on my blinker, and I
looked both ways until there was
00:20:43.87\00:20:47.91
no cars for, you know, three
miles in either direction, and
00:20:47.94\00:20:51.21
I crawled out onto the
road, and I just putted along.
00:20:51.25\00:20:53.68
I waved to the
policeman, goodbye.
00:20:53.72\00:20:56.32
Because he's shown me
mercy, I am more careful than
00:20:56.35\00:20:59.19
anybody, right?
00:20:59.22\00:21:01.12
Because now I'm
not under the law.
00:21:01.16\00:21:02.49
Now I'm under grace.
00:21:02.52\00:21:04.13
Out of gratitude
and love, you obey.
00:21:04.16\00:21:07.50
What motivates a
person to obey God's law?
00:21:07.56\00:21:10.70
Answer: "Therefore love is
the fulfilling of the law."
00:21:10.73\00:21:16.07
When we love God, we
will want to obey Him.
00:21:16.10\00:21:18.81
If you're having obedience
problems, you're probably
00:21:18.84\00:21:20.48
having love problems.
00:21:20.51\00:21:21.98
You need to spend more time with
Jesus in prayer and in the Word,
00:21:22.01\00:21:24.78
and that shapes you.
00:21:24.81\00:21:26.75
It gives you that strength.
00:21:26.78\00:21:28.12
It's through the Holy Spirit
in your life, through being
00:21:28.15\00:21:31.75
connected and abiding in Christ.
00:21:31.79\00:21:33.29
"Whoever abides
in Him sinneth not."
00:21:33.32\00:21:35.46
Whenever we get into
trouble, we cease abiding.
00:21:35.49\00:21:37.83
We usually forget about
the Lord and get in trouble.
00:21:37.86\00:21:40.83
"You shall love the Lord
your God with all of your heart,
00:21:40.86\00:21:43.50
with all of your soul,
with all of your mind."
00:21:43.53\00:21:45.87
It's through love.
00:21:45.90\00:21:47.54
"For this is the love of God,
that we keep His commandments."
00:21:47.57\00:21:51.11
1 John 5, verse 3.
00:21:51.14\00:21:53.74
Do you know how quickly
Christianity would spread if
00:21:53.78\00:21:55.64
Christians really started living
different, if we were holy, if
00:21:55.68\00:22:00.28
we loved each other, we
tried to live out the law of God
00:22:00.32\00:22:02.78
in our lives?
00:22:02.82\00:22:05.49
Are some Old Testament
laws no longer binding upon New
00:22:05.52\00:22:08.66
Testament Christians?
00:22:08.69\00:22:10.26
Absolutely.
00:22:10.29\00:22:11.66
The Bible tells
us what they are.
00:22:11.69\00:22:13.29
"Having abolished the
law of commandments contained
00:22:13.33\00:22:15.46
in ordinances."
00:22:15.50\00:22:17.70
And it's Ephesians 2:15.
00:22:17.73\00:22:20.37
That's the yearly
sabbaths, the meat offerings,
00:22:20.40\00:22:22.87
the drink offerings.
00:22:22.90\00:22:24.34
We don't have to
sacrifice lambs anymore.
00:22:24.37\00:22:26.78
Circumcision is not required.
00:22:26.81\00:22:29.31
All these things came after sin.
00:22:29.34\00:22:31.38
Now catch this
very important point.
00:22:31.41\00:22:35.52
Before the Ten Commandments were
given on Mount Sinai, Exodus 20,
00:22:35.55\00:22:39.12
was it still
wrong to kill, murder?
00:22:39.15\00:22:42.62
When Cain killed Abel, God
said, "Sin lies at your door."
00:22:42.66\00:22:47.86
When Potiphar's wife, this
Egyptian commander, when his
00:22:47.93\00:22:50.43
wife was trying to seduce
Joseph, Joseph said, "How can I
00:22:50.47\00:22:53.23
do this thing
and sin against God?"
00:22:53.27\00:22:55.54
Adultery was a sin, murder
was a sin, lying was a sin.
00:22:55.57\00:22:58.11
The Ten Commandments have
existed since before creation.
00:22:58.14\00:23:02.78
And so before there
was sin, they didn't have
00:23:02.81\00:23:04.88
the ceremonial laws.
00:23:04.91\00:23:06.48
They didn't have circumcision.
00:23:06.51\00:23:07.82
Those things all came after sin.
00:23:07.85\00:23:09.25
But the Ten Commandments
are part of God's nature.
00:23:09.28\00:23:11.75
It's always existed.
00:23:11.79\00:23:13.86
What are some of the glorious
rewards of keeping God's law?
00:23:13.89\00:23:18.19
Well, there are many, friends.
00:23:18.23\00:23:19.63
For one thing, it says, John
15, verse 11, "These things I've
00:23:19.66\00:23:23.53
spoken to you, that My joy might
remain in you, and that your joy
00:23:23.57\00:23:28.00
might be full."
00:23:28.04\00:23:29.67
People think, "Oh,
I've got to keep the law.
00:23:29.70\00:23:31.27
I'll have no joy."
00:23:31.31\00:23:32.91
You know, I used to think that.
00:23:32.94\00:23:34.41
I'd like to be a Christian,
but they're not allowed to
00:23:34.44\00:23:35.94
have any fun."
00:23:35.98\00:23:37.35
Because I had such a puny,
corrupted idea of what fun was.
00:23:37.38\00:23:41.12
I thought fun was drinking,
and smoking, and all these sins.
00:23:41.15\00:23:45.39
And I thought I can't party.
00:23:45.42\00:23:47.02
And God said, "Look,
Doug, I'm not going to force you
00:23:47.06\00:23:49.26
to change.
00:23:49.29\00:23:50.66
You think that's
fun? Keep having fun."
00:23:50.69\00:23:53.56
This is happening while I'm
reading the Bible, you know?
00:23:53.60\00:23:56.16
And I'd got to a party.
00:23:56.20\00:23:57.67
I'd wake up hung over,
throwing up, wake up in jail.
00:23:57.70\00:24:02.97
God said, "You
having fun, Doug?"
00:24:03.00\00:24:06.71
I'd be smoking a cigarette, and
a girl tells me kissing me is
00:24:06.74\00:24:09.08
like kissing an ashtray, and
cigarette head falls off, while
00:24:09.11\00:24:13.52
I'm driving, in my lap, nearly
wrecked the car, and wasting my
00:24:13.55\00:24:16.99
last five dollars, when I
have no food, on cigarettes.
00:24:17.02\00:24:20.36
And God says, "Are
you having fun, Doug?"
00:24:20.39\00:24:23.22
And I gradually realized that
the things that God wants me
00:24:23.26\00:24:26.76
to do is what really
brings the abundant life.
00:24:26.80\00:24:29.90
I have much more fun now
than I did serving the devil.
00:24:29.93\00:24:33.20
It's a joy.
00:24:33.23\00:24:34.74
"Happy is he who keeps the law."
00:24:34.77\00:24:36.44
Proverbs 29, verse 18.
00:24:36.47\00:24:39.47
"Great peace have those that
love Your law, and nothing will
00:24:39.51\00:24:43.98
cause them to stumble."
00:24:44.01\00:24:45.85
I remember hearing a story about
this man that was driving too
00:24:45.88\00:24:50.62
quickly through a
suburban neighborhood.
00:24:50.65\00:24:52.95
And he not only went
crawling through a stop sign,
00:24:52.99\00:24:58.96
but he was speeding.
00:24:58.99\00:25:00.80
And sure enough, one of the
local sheriffs saw him, and he
00:25:00.83\00:25:04.47
got out behind him, and
he turned on his lights, and
00:25:04.50\00:25:07.30
eventually the man pulled over.
00:25:07.34\00:25:09.34
And he said, "Oh,
man, I was in a hurry.
00:25:09.37\00:25:10.67
This is the last thing I need."
00:25:10.71\00:25:12.31
And so, he's a little agitated,
and he sees the policeman
00:25:12.34\00:25:14.71
approaching his car.
00:25:14.74\00:25:16.08
He looks and he said,
"I think I know that guy.
00:25:16.11\00:25:18.71
That's Fred. He
goes to my church."
00:25:18.75\00:25:21.75
And Fred comes over, and he
rolls down his window, and he
00:25:21.78\00:25:25.09
says, "Hi Fred."
00:25:25.12\00:25:26.49
He says, "Hi Bob."
00:25:26.52\00:25:28.12
He says, "Hey, Fred,"
says, "give me a break.
00:25:28.16\00:25:29.89
You know, I was in a hurry,
and I've got places to go."
00:25:29.92\00:25:32.33
And he didn't
say anything to him.
00:25:32.36\00:25:34.36
And he went behind his
car, and he began to write, and,
00:25:34.36\00:25:37.57
oh, Bob got so mad.
00:25:37.60\00:25:39.90
He said, "You know, I
wasn't going that fast."
00:25:39.93\00:25:42.64
And he said, as he's back
to writing, he gets madder and
00:25:42.67\00:25:45.37
madder, and he rolls up his
window, and he folds his arm.
00:25:45.41\00:25:48.04
His insurance rates are going to
go up and, "I thought he was a
00:25:48.08\00:25:50.11
friend, and he
could've let me off."
00:25:50.15\00:25:51.81
And he's thinking, "This
is going to ruin my day."
00:25:51.85\00:25:53.45
And he's thinking
about all these things.
00:25:53.48\00:25:55.68
And the policeman comes back
over, and he taps his window,
00:25:55.72\00:25:58.62
and Bob just rolls down his
window that much for him to drop
00:25:58.65\00:26:01.09
the ticket through.
00:26:01.12\00:26:03.83
And policeman pulls away.
00:26:03.86\00:26:07.76
And he takes the
ticket to see, you know, what
00:26:07.76\00:26:09.33
the court date is.
00:26:09.36\00:26:10.67
And he looks. It's not a ticket.
00:26:10.70\00:26:12.17
It's a note, and the note said,
"Bob, I lost my four-year-old

for our lawlessness.
