>>YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
THE HOLY LAND IN OUR WORLD,
00:00:43.03\00:00:47.63
WHAT COUNTRY DO YOU THINK OF?
00:00:47.63\00:00:50.96
YOU THINK OF ISRAEL OR - YEAH,
PALESTINE SOME PEOPLE CALL IT.
00:00:50.96\00:00:55.63
ICALLY
CONSIDEREDISRAEL, WHAT CITY IS
00:00:55.63\00:01:00.70
THE HOLY CITY? JERUSALEM.
00:01:00.70\00:01:04.96
AND IN JERUSALEM THERE IS A
MOUNTAIN THERE THAT'S CALLED THE
00:01:04.96\00:01:08.46
HOLY MOUNTAIN - SOMETIMES KNOWN
AS MOUNT ZION OR MOUNT MORIAH.
00:01:08.46\00:01:13.93
AND ON THAT HOLY MOUNTAIN
THEY'VE GOT WHAT THEY CALL THE
00:01:13.93\00:01:16.23
TEMPLE MOUNT - THE HOLY TEMPLE.
00:01:16.23\00:01:21.96
AND IN THE HOLY TEMPLE THEY HAD
THE HOLY PLACE - WE TALKED ABOUT
00:01:21.96\00:01:26.76
THIS LAST NIGHT - AND THEN
YOU HAD THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:01:26.76\00:01:31.96
NOW WHAT WAS IT THAT MADE
THE HOLY TEMPLE THE HOLY TEMPLE?
00:01:31.96\00:01:37.33
THE WHOLE TEMPLE WAS BUILT
AROUND A NATIONAL TREASURE -
00:01:37.33\00:01:41.43
IT WAS A GOLDEN BOX, RIGHT?
00:01:41.43\00:01:44.66
WAS IT THE GOLDEN BOX
THAT WAS A NATIONAL TREASURE
00:01:44.66\00:01:46.70
OR WAS THE GOLDEN
BOX JUST A CONTAINER
00:01:46.70\00:01:49.56
FOR THE NATIONAL TREASURE.
00:01:49.56\00:01:52.50
THE NATIONAL TREASURE INSIDE THE
TEMPLE - THAT HOLY TEMPLE ON THE
00:01:52.50\00:01:56.66
HOLY MOUNTAIN IN THE HOLY CITY
IN THE HOLY LAND - IS A COUPLE
00:01:56.66\00:02:01.83
OF ROCKS AND THEY WERE
INSIDE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
00:02:01.83\00:02:07.56
NOW THESE STONES ARE VERY
UNUSUAL BECAUSE THEY ARE WRITTEN
00:02:07.56\00:02:10.33
BY THE FINGER OF GOD - THE
MESSAGES THERE, THE INFORMATION
00:02:10.33\00:02:14.70
THERE IS WRITTEN BY GOD
HIMSELF - SPOKEN BY HIS VOICE.
00:02:14.70\00:02:20.83
NOW HOW MANY OF YOU
THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING
00:02:20.83\00:02:22.16
IF WE COULD FIND THE ARK?
00:02:22.16\00:02:24.70
IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST
VALUABLE MISSING ARTIFACT
00:02:24.70\00:02:27.53
OF ANCIENT HISTORY.
00:02:27.53\00:02:28.76
IF IT COULD BE DISCOVERED - THE
NATIONAL TREASURE NOT ONLY OF
00:02:28.76\00:02:32.16
THE JEWS BUT, YOU KNOW, IT GOES
BACK TO, OF COURSE, CHRISTIANS,
00:02:32.16\00:02:36.46
ISLAM - THEY ALL RECOGNIZED
MOSES AND THAT GOD HAD GIVEN THE
00:02:36.46\00:02:40.73
TEN COMMANDMENTS
PERSONALLY AND IT WAS PLACED IN
00:02:40.73\00:02:44.80
THIS GOLDEN CONTAINER.
00:02:44.80\00:02:46.03
THE IMPORTANT THING IS NOT THE
GOLD, IT'S THE ROCKS IN THE BOX.
00:02:46.03\00:02:51.83
WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND THAT?
00:02:51.83\00:02:53.50
WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING?
00:02:53.50\00:02:54.96
BY THE WAY, YOU CAN FIND IT.
00:02:54.96\00:02:57.83
IT'S IN YOUR BIBLE.
00:02:57.83\00:02:59.66
THE INFORMATION IN
THAT BOX IS IN YOUR BIBLE.
00:02:59.66\00:03:05.20
AH, BUT WE'RE ALL KIND
OF ENCHANTED WITH THE GOLD.
00:03:05.20\00:03:07.83
THAT'S WHAT IT IS -
WE WANT THE GOLD BOX.
00:03:07.83\00:03:09.53
WE'RE NOT SO INTERESTED
IN THE WRITING ON THE STONES,
00:03:09.53\00:03:12.30
WE WANT THE TREASURE.
00:03:12.30\00:03:15.76
THE TREASURE IS IN THE WORD
THAT'S THERE AND YOU'VE GOT THAT
00:03:15.76\00:03:18.96
IN YOUR BIBLES.
00:03:18.96\00:03:20.70
QUESTION #1 - DID
GOD HIMSELF REALLY WRITE
00:03:20.70\00:03:24.80
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:03:24.80\00:03:26.83
ALL OF OUR ANSWERS
ARE COMING FROM THE BIBLE.
00:03:26.83\00:03:28.80
YOU'LL GET A STUDY GUIDE TO
HELP FOLLOW THIS UP, BUT YOU
00:03:28.80\00:03:31.06
MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTES
ALSO FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT.
00:03:31.06\00:03:34.06
IT SAYS IN EXODUS 31, VERSE
18, "GOD GAVE MOSES TWO TABLES
00:03:34.06\00:03:38.76
OF STONE - TESTIMONY -
TABLETS OF STONE WRITTEN WITH
00:03:38.76\00:03:43.10
THE FINGER OF GOD."
00:03:43.10\00:03:45.23
I DON'T KNOW IF GOD SOMEHOW
ISSUED SOME ARC WELDER OUT OF
00:03:45.23\00:03:49.16
HIS FINGER AND INSCRIBED IT,
BUT HE SOMEHOW BURNED INTO THE
00:03:49.16\00:03:53.03
GRANITE OR THE SAPPHIRE STONE
- WHATEVER KIND OF ROCK IT WAS -
00:03:53.03\00:03:57.70
HIS WILL - PROBABLY
IN THE HEBREW LANGUAGE -
00:03:57.70\00:04:00.36
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
THAT HE SPOKE WITH HIS VOICE.
00:04:00.36\00:04:02.63
AGAIN, EXODUS 32:16, "NOW THE
TABLETS WERE THE WORK OF GOD AND
00:04:02.63\00:04:07.66
THE WRITING WAS THE WRITING
OF GOD ENGRAVED ON THE TABLETS.
00:04:07.66\00:04:12.53
SO, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS -
UNLIKE THE REST OF THE BIBLE
00:04:12.53\00:04:15.83
WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED
HOLY MEN AND WOMEN TO WRITE AND
00:04:15.83\00:04:19.60
PUT THESE THINGS DOWN - GOD
SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING TO RISK
00:04:19.60\00:04:23.56
COMMITTING THIS TO ANY MORTAL,
I AM GOING TO SHARE THIS AUDIBLY
00:04:23.56\00:04:28.80
WITH THE WHOLE NATION - THE
WHOLE NATION OF ISRAEL HEARD
00:04:28.80\00:04:30.56
GOD GIVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
AND AFTER THEY AGREED TO THE
00:04:30.56\00:04:33.50
COVENANT THEN HE WROTE IT
WITH HIS OWN FINGER AND SO THIS
00:04:33.50\00:04:36.73
DESERVES A SPECIAL PRIORITY IN
OUR THINKING, WHICH IS SOMETHING
00:04:36.73\00:04:40.83
TO CONSIDER NOW THAT WE'RE
LIVING IN A CULTURE WHERE PEOPLE
00:04:40.83\00:04:43.76
KIND OF - THEY SLOUGH OFF THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS AS THOUGH, 'OH,
00:04:43.76\00:04:49.06
THAT'S JUST OLD
GUIDELINES.' WHY DID GOD GIVE US
00:04:49.06\00:04:54.83
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:04:54.83\00:04:56.33
WELL, THERE'S
SEVERAL ANSWERS HERE.
00:04:56.33\00:04:57.80
FIRST OF ALL, BY THE
LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.
00:04:57.80\00:05:02.90
IT'S THROUGH THE LAW OF GOD WE
BECOME AWARE OF 'WHAT IS SIN?'
00:05:02.90\00:05:06.90
AND AGAIN, WHAT
IS THE PURPOSE OF IT?
00:05:06.90\00:05:08.73
'GREAT PEACE HAVE THEY WHO LOVE
YOUR LAW AND NOTHING CAUSES THEM
00:05:08.73\00:05:14.03
TO STUMBLE.' I'VE
GOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE
00:05:14.03\00:05:16.13
WHEN, BEFORE I COME OUT IN FRONT
OF PEOPLE THAT I CAN LOOK IN THE
00:05:16.13\00:05:19.06
MIRROR AND SAY, 'OH,
OKAY, MIRROR - OH, EVERYTHING'S
00:05:19.06\00:05:22.23
STRAIGHT, I CAN GO
NOW.' AND SO YOU GET WHERE
00:05:22.23\00:05:25.26
YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR IT.
00:05:25.26\00:05:27.36
IF YOU LOOK AND YOU SEE THAT
THERE'S A PROBLEM OR THERE'S
00:05:27.36\00:05:29.76
DIRT, THEN YOU CAN SAY,
'WELL, I DON'T LIKE THE MIRROR.'
00:05:29.76\00:05:33.43
IT'S NOT THE MIRROR'S PROBLEM.
00:05:33.43\00:05:35.03
THERE'S ANOTHER ISSUE.
00:05:35.03\00:05:36.60
THEN AGAIN, JOHN, THIS IS
THE NEW TESTAMENT - JOHN 15,
00:05:36.60\00:05:39.03
VERSE 11.
00:05:39.03\00:05:40.20
JESUS SAID, "THESE THINGS
I'VE SPOKEN TO YOU THAT YOUR JOY
00:05:40.20\00:05:43.46
MIGHT REMAIN IN YOU AND
THAT YOUR JOY MIGHT BE FULL."
00:05:43.46\00:05:47.66
THE LAW OF GOD IS NOT DESIGNED
TO TAKE AWAY OUR HAPPINESS, IT'S
00:05:47.66\00:05:50.56
DESIGNED SO THAT IT CAN BE FULL.
00:05:50.56\00:05:52.66
IT CAN BE COMPLETE.
00:05:52.66\00:05:54.20
IF YOU GO ON A FAMILY VACATION
AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT SOME
00:05:54.20\00:05:58.06
BEAUTIFUL SCENERY ON A PRECIPICE
BY THE EDGE OF A LAKE AND YOU
00:05:58.06\00:06:01.50
GET YOUR CHILDREN THERE AND YOU
SEE A GUARD RAIL WOULD YOU BE
00:06:01.50\00:06:04.86
THINKING WITHIN
YOURSELF, 'OH LOOK AT THAT.
00:06:04.86\00:06:07.23
THEY WENT AND WRECKED EVERYTHING
BY PUTTING UP A GUARDRAIL.
00:06:07.23\00:06:09.26
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO
HAVE THE FREEDOM TO JUMP?
00:06:09.26\00:06:12.43
HOW ARE OUR KIDS SUPPOSED TO
WANDER OFF WITH A GUARD RAIL?'
00:06:12.43\00:06:14.46
ARE YOU GLAD THAT IT'S THERE?
00:06:14.46\00:06:17.26
WELL, THE LAW OF GOD SERVES
SOMETHING LIKE A GUARDRAIL.
00:06:17.26\00:06:20.46
IT HELPS US KNOW HOW TO
STAY IN THE ROAD BECAUSE
00:06:20.46\00:06:23.43
YOU GET OFF THE ROAD OF
LIFE AND IT CAN BE FATAL.
00:06:23.43\00:06:27.43
AND SO, WE SHOULDN'T BE
ANGRY AT THE LP AS THOUGH
00:06:27.43\00:06:29.46
IT'S RESTRICTING OUR FREEDOM.
00:06:29.46\00:06:31.23
I CAN JUST ABOUT GUARANTEE YOU
THAT MOST OF THE MISERY THAT'S
00:06:31.23\00:06:33.83
HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN
BECAUSE YOU GOT OFF THE ROAD
00:06:33.83\00:06:36.43
SOMEHOW.
00:06:36.43\00:06:37.93
WE BRING MOST OF OUR SUFFERING
UPON OURSELVES - NOT ALL OF IT,
00:06:37.93\00:06:40.83
BUT MUCH OF IT.
00:06:40.83\00:06:42.63
WHY IS GOD'S LAW SO
IMPORTANT TO ME PERSONALLY?
00:06:42.63\00:06:46.50
ANSWER - JAMES
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 12, "SO SPEAK
00:06:46.50\00:06:50.46
AND SO DO AS THOSE WHO WILL
BE JUDGED BY THE LAW OF LIBERTY.
00:06:50.46\00:06:55.40
IT TELLS US IN JAMES JUST BEFORE
THIS VERSE, IT MENTIONS TWO OF
00:06:55.40\00:06:59.36
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
SPECIFICALLY AND YET IT REFERS
00:06:59.36\00:07:02.66
TO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
AS A LAW OF LIBERTY.
00:07:02.66\00:07:05.83
YOU CAN READ IN PSALMS 119,
VERSES - I THINK IT'S 44 AND 45
00:07:05.83\00:07:10.83
- "SO I WILL KEEP YOUR
COMMANDMENTS FOREVER AND EVER
00:07:10.83\00:07:12.76
AND I WILL WALK AT LIBERTY
BECAUSE I SEEK YOUR PRECEPTS."
00:07:12.76\00:07:17.66
YOU'VE GOT LAWS
IN SYDNEY, RIGHT?
00:07:17.66\00:07:20.03
THAT SAY YOU'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO MURDER.
00:07:20.03\00:07:21.66
HOW MANY OF YOU ARE
THANKFUL FOR THOSE LAWS?
00:07:21.66\00:07:24.36
ARE THOSE LAWS RESTRICTING
YOUR FREEDOM OR DOES IT MAKE IT
00:07:24.36\00:07:28.00
POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO WALK DOWN
THE STREETS AFTER THE MEETING
00:07:28.00\00:07:30.33
TONIGHT?
00:07:30.33\00:07:31.50
THAT LAW THAT PUTS A MURDERER
IN PRISON GIVES YOU FREEDOM.
00:07:31.50\00:07:37.36
SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:07:37.36\00:07:38.63
SO DON'T EVER LOOK AT THE LAW -
THE DEVIL WANTS US TO THINK THE
00:07:38.63\00:07:40.60
LAW IS RESTRICTING OUR FREEDOM.
00:07:40.60\00:07:42.36
IT REALLY PROTECTS OUR FREEDOM.
00:07:42.36\00:07:44.20
THE BIBLE SAYS, "FEAR GOD
AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."
00:07:44.20\00:07:47.20
BY THE WAY, THESE ARE THE WORDS
OF SOLOMON IN ECCLESIASTES 12,
00:07:47.20\00:07:50.40
VERSES 13 AND 14.
00:07:50.40\00:07:52.83
"FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS
COMMANDMENTS FOR GOD WILL BRING
00:07:52.83\00:07:56.96
EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT
INCLUDING EVERY SECRET THING
00:07:56.96\00:08:00.90
WHETHER IT BE GOOD OR EVIL."
00:08:00.90\00:08:01.76
IT'S BY THE LAW
WE'RE ULTIMATELY JUDGED.
00:08:01.76\00:08:04.96
THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE HAVE CHRIST INSIDE - THAT
00:08:04.96\00:08:07.40
WE'VE BEEN FORGIVEN OF OUR
PAST DISOBEDIENCE OF GOD'S LAW.
00:08:07.40\00:08:11.40
CAN GOD'S LAW -
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS -
00:08:11.40\00:08:13.10
EVER BE CHANGED OR ABOLISHED?
00:08:13.10\00:08:16.06
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
00:08:16.06\00:08:18.00
IS IT STILL IN EFFECT?
00:08:18.00\00:08:20.20
PSALM 111, VERSES 7 AND 8,
"ALL OF HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE
00:08:20.20\00:08:23.30
SURE; THEY STAND
FAST FOREVER AND EVER."
00:08:23.30\00:08:27.66
WHEN GOD SAYS IT TWICE
LIKE THAT, IT'S SETTLED.
00:08:27.66\00:08:30.53
HIS COMMANDMENTS, HIS LAW -
HE WROTE IT WITH HIS FINGER IN
00:08:30.53\00:08:32.76
STONE, WHY WOULD HE CHANGE IT?
00:08:32.76\00:08:35.36
HE DIDN'T WRITE IT IN WHIPPED
CREAM, HE WROTE IT IN STONE
00:08:35.36\00:08:40.10
WITH HIS FINGER.
00:08:40.10\00:08:42.40
THAT WOULD BE THE ONE
THING THAT DOESN'T CHANGE.
00:08:42.40\00:08:44.66
THE LORD SAYS, "I AM
THE LORD. I CHANGE NOT."
00:08:44.66\00:08:47.73
SPOKEN WITH HIS VOICE - MALACHI
3:6 - "MY COVENANT I WILL NOT
00:08:47.73\00:08:52.33
BREAK NOR ALTER THE THING THAT
HAS GONE FORTH FROM MY LIPS."
00:08:52.33\00:08:57.10
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IS
CALLED THE COVENANT OF GOD.
00:08:57.10\00:09:00.40
LUKE 16, VERSE 17, "IT'S EASIER
FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO PASS
00:09:00.40\00:09:03.80
AWAY" - JESUS SAID - "THAN
FOR ONE TITTLE OF THE LAW."
00:09:03.80\00:09:07.16
TITTLES ARE THE
EQUIVALENT OF CROSSING A 'T'
00:09:07.16\00:09:09.30
IN THE HEBREW CHARACTERS.
00:09:09.30\00:09:10.46
IT'S EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND
EARTH TO PASS AWAY THAN FOR THE
00:09:10.46\00:09:13.23
SLIGHTEST LITTLE DOT OR STROKE
IN THE WORDS OF THE LAW TO FAIL.
00:09:13.23\00:09:18.66
AND ONE REASON WE KNOW THAT'S
TRUE IS EVEN IN REVELATION - THE
00:09:18.66\00:09:21.30
LAST BOOK IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
- IT SAYS, 'I SAW THE TEMPLE OF
00:09:21.30\00:09:25.16
GOD OPEN IN HEAVEN AND THE
ARK OF HIS COVENANT WAS SEEN
00:09:25.16\00:09:29.33
IN HIS TEMPLE.' HERE
IT IS LOOKING DOWN IN TIME
00:09:29.33\00:09:32.60
- THIS IS IN REVELATION 11 -
PROPHECY IS LOOKING DOWN IN TIME
00:09:32.60\00:09:36.13
HERE AT THE FUTURE, LONG
AFTER THE TIME OF CHRIST.
00:09:36.13\00:09:38.83
THE ARK OF GOD -
WHAT'S IN THE ARK?
00:09:38.83\00:09:40.93
IS GOD IMPRESSED
WITH A GOLDEN BOX?
00:09:40.93\00:09:43.76
ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S IN THAT BOX?
00:09:43.76\00:09:45.83
THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.
00:09:45.83\00:09:46.93
IT MEANS IT WOULD BE
HONORED, IT WOULD BE GLORIFIED -
00:09:46.93\00:09:48.43
IT'S IN HEAVEN!
00:09:48.43\00:09:49.66
IF IT WAS DONE AWAY WITH
IT WOULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
00:09:49.66\00:09:52.73
THE WORD OF GOD HAS NOT CHANGED.
00:09:52.73\00:09:54.66
THE LAW OF GOD HAS NOT CHANGED.
00:09:54.66\00:09:55.83
THE LAW OF GOD
DOES NOT NEED CHANGING.
00:09:55.83\00:09:58.30
YOU KNOW WHAT NEEDS CHANGING?
00:09:58.30\00:09:59.90
THE PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL IS
THAT WE MIGHT BE NEW CREATURES -
00:09:59.90\00:10:02.86
THAT GOD MIGHT CREATE WITHIN
US NEW HEARTS THAT WE MIGHT
00:10:02.86\00:10:05.13
BE TRANSFORMED.
00:10:05.13\00:10:07.13
ROMANS CHAPTER 12, 'BY
THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND
00:10:07.13\00:10:09.90
THAT WE MIGHT NOT BE CONFORMED
TO THE WORLD BUT THAT WE MIGHT
00:10:09.90\00:10:13.10
BE TRANSFORMED.'
WE'RE WHAT NEEDS CHANGING.
00:10:13.10\00:10:16.33
THE LAW IS NOT A PROBLEM.
00:10:16.33\00:10:17.50
IT'S WHEN WE'RE BREAKING THE
LAW - THEN THERE'S A PROBLEM.
00:10:17.50\00:10:21.40
DID JESUS ABOLISH THE LAW
WHILE HE WAS HERE ON EARTH?
00:10:21.40\00:10:25.03
WHAT DOES CHRIST SAY?
00:10:25.03\00:10:26.50
'DO NOT THINK THAT I
CAME TO DESTROY THE LAW
00:10:26.50\00:10:29.73
AND THE PROPHETS.
00:10:29.73\00:10:30.60
I DID NOT COME TO
DESTROY BUT FULFILL.'
00:10:30.60\00:10:33.20
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:10:33.20\00:10:34.70
FULFILL DOES NOT
MEAN DO AWAY WITH.
00:10:34.70\00:10:37.10
I MEAN, WHY WOULD JESUS
SAY, 'DON'T THINK THAT I CAME TO
00:10:37.10\00:10:39.20
DO AWAY WITH THE LAW.
00:10:39.20\00:10:40.33
I DIDN'T COME TO DO AWAY
WITH IT BUT TO DO AWAY WITH IT.'
00:10:40.33\00:10:43.83
FULFILL MEANS TO FILL IT FULL,
IT DOESN'T MEAN TO EMPTY IT
00:10:43.83\00:10:46.96
OR GET RID OF IT.
00:10:46.96\00:10:48.00
CHRIST IN HIS
LIFE, HE KEPT THE LAW.
00:10:48.00\00:10:49.93
NOT SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE
TO - HE KEPT IT IN OUR BEHALF
00:10:49.93\00:10:53.63
TO SHOW US THAT IT CAN BE DONE.
00:10:53.63\00:10:56.83
CHRIST DID NOT OVERCOME WITH ANY
POWER THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE TO
00:10:56.83\00:11:01.03
YOU AND ME THRGH PRAYER.
00:11:01.03\00:11:04.03
ALL OF HEAVEN CAN BE
OPENED TO US THROUGH PRAYER.
00:11:04.03\00:11:06.23
HE WANTS TO GIVE
US VICTORIOUS LIVES.
00:11:06.23\00:11:08.66
WHY WOULD SOMEBODY WANT TO
GLORIFY THE ABILITY OF THE DEVIL
00:11:08.66\00:11:11.16
TO MAKE US AND TEMPT US TO SIN
MORE THAN THE ABILITY OF GOD TO
00:11:11.16\00:11:14.13
GIVE US VICTORY?
00:11:14.13\00:11:15.60
AND YET, EVEN IN THE
CHURCHES THERE ARE MASTERS AMONG
00:11:15.60\00:11:19.56
MINISTERS AT MAKING EXCUSES FOR
SIN AND WE NEED MORE WHO WILL
00:11:19.56\00:11:23.43
STAND UP AND SAY 'GOD
CAN SAVE YOU FROM YOUR SIN.
00:11:23.43\00:11:26.36
GOD CAN CHANGE YOU.
00:11:26.36\00:11:27.33
GOD CAN GIVE YOU A NEW LIFE.
00:11:27.33\00:11:28.63
HE CAN GIVE YOU VICTORY.
00:11:28.63\00:11:29.80
YOU CAN BE A NEW CREATURE.'
THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT COMES
00:11:29.80\00:11:32.93
FROM RECOGNIZING THE LAW DOESN'T
CHANGE BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD
00:11:32.93\00:11:36.16
WE CAN CHANGE.
00:11:36.16\00:11:37.56
THAT'S WHAT'S
IN THAT GOLDEN BOX.
00:11:37.56\00:11:40.23
THE LAW OF GOD IS
GOOD, IT'S JUST - IT'S HOLY.
00:11:40.23\00:11:43.66
EVEN JESUS, WHO'S OUR EXAMPLE,
JOHN 15:10 - HE SAID, "I HAVE
00:11:43.66\00:11:48.03
KEPT MY FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS."
00:11:48.03\00:11:50.30
AND AGAIN, 1 PETER 2, VERSES
21 AND 22, "CHRIST ALSO SUFFERED
00:11:50.30\00:11:54.86
FOR US GIVING US AN EXAMPLE THAT
YOU SHOULD FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS."
00:11:54.86\00:11:59.60
- NOTICE - "WHO
COMMITTED NO SIN." -
00:11:59.60\00:12:02.23
DID JESUS EVER BREAK THE LAW?
00:12:02.23\00:12:04.50
YOU KNOW, SOME OF HIS ENEMIES
ACCUSED HIM OF BREAKING THE LAW.
00:12:04.50\00:12:07.70
THEY LIED.
00:12:07.70\00:12:09.83
THEY ALSO ACCUSED HIM OF
BEING A DRUNKARD AND A GLUTTON.
00:12:09.83\00:12:13.63
HE WASN'T - AND THEY ACCUSED
HIM OF BEING DEMON POSSESSED.
00:12:13.63\00:12:16.96
SO SOME PEOPLE HAVE POINTED TO
THE ACCUSATIONS OF THE PHARISEES
00:12:16.96\00:12:19.83
- THEY POINTED TO JESUS
AND SAID, 'HE BROKE THE LAW!'
00:12:19.83\00:12:22.16
WELL, HE BROKE THEIR
TRADITIONS BUT THAT WASN'T
00:12:22.16\00:12:24.46
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:12:24.46\00:12:26.10
JESUS NEVER BROKE THE LAW
- THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SIN.
00:12:26.10\00:12:28.66
HE DID NO SIN.
00:12:28.66\00:12:30.43
CAN PEOPLE WHO WILLINGLY
CONTINUE TO BREAK ONE OF GOD'S
00:12:30.43\00:12:33.30
COMMANDMENTS BE SAVED?
00:12:33.30\00:12:35.43
NOTICE THE WORDING
- IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
00:12:35.43\00:12:38.83
'THOSE WHO WILLINGLY CONTINUE.'
THE BIBLE SAYS THE PENALTY
00:12:38.83\00:12:41.83
FOR SIN IS DEATH.
00:12:41.83\00:12:43.70
IT'S VERY SERIOUS.
00:12:43.70\00:12:44.83
THAT'S WHY JESUS CAME.
00:12:44.83\00:12:45.83
WE JUST CAN'T KEEP
GOING ON LIKE THE MULTITUDE.
00:12:45.83\00:12:49.00
'BROAD IS THE WAY
THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION.
00:12:49.00\00:12:52.00
STRAIGHT AND NARROW IS
THE WAY THAT LEADS TO LIFE.'
00:12:52.00\00:12:54.80
GOD'S CALLED YOU HERE BECAUSE
HE WANTS YOU TO FIND LIFE.
00:12:54.80\00:12:57.16
AND AGAIN, 1 JOHN 2, VERSES
3 AND 4, "NOW BY THIS WE KNOW
00:12:57.16\00:13:02.73
THAT WE KNOW HIM" -
ETERNAL LIFE IS KNOWING HIM -
00:13:02.73\00:13:05.70
"IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."
00:13:05.70\00:13:08.36
AND AGAIN, 'HE WHO SAYS
'I KNOW HIM' AND DOES NOT
00:13:08.36\00:13:10.60
KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS IS A LIAR
AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM."
00:13:10.60\00:13:15.60
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT
THERE SAYING, 'LORD, LORD'
00:13:15.60\00:13:17.23
AND GOD'S GOING TO
SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU.'
00:13:17.23\00:13:19.63
YOU KNOW THAT
VERSE THERE IN MATTHEW?
00:13:19.63\00:13:22.56
'MANY WILL COME TO ME IN THAT
DAY SAYING, 'LORD, LORD, WE'VE
00:13:22.56\00:13:24.53
TAUGHT IN YOUR STREETS AND WE'VE
CAST OUT DEVILS, WE DID MANY
00:13:24.53\00:13:26.60
WONDERFUL WORKS' AND HE'LL
DECLARE UNTO THEM, 'DEPART FROM
00:13:26.60\00:13:28.86
ME YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY.
00:13:28.86\00:13:30.86
I DON'T KNOW YOU.''
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN -
00:13:30.86\00:13:32.93
WORKERS OF INIQUITY?
00:13:32.93\00:13:33.96
IT SAYS, 'DEPART
FROM ME YE LAWLESS.'
00:13:33.96\00:13:36.56
THAT'S WHAT IT
SAYS IN THE ORIGINAL.
00:13:36.56\00:13:39.00
THEY'RE LIVING WITHOUT
THE LAW - GOING THROUGH ALL
00:13:39.00\00:13:40.70
THE RELIGIOUS MOTIONS.
00:13:40.70\00:13:41.63
THEY'VE GOT A FORM OF
GODLINESS AND NO POWER.
00:13:41.63\00:13:44.10
WHERE DO YOU SEE
THE POWER OF GOD?
00:13:44.10\00:13:46.16
IN CHANGED LIVES.
00:13:46.16\00:13:48.66
WHAT IS THE
GREATEST DEMONSTRATION
00:13:48.66\00:13:50.10
THAT JESUS IS REAL?
00:13:50.10\00:13:51.36
WHEN A PERSON WHO IS A DRUNK FOR
YEARS AND THEIR LIVES ARE A MESS
00:13:51.36\00:13:55.06
AND THEY'RE ABUSING
THEIR FAMILIES AND THEY
00:13:55.06\00:13:56.50
CAN'T KEEP A JOB.
00:13:56.50\00:13:57.70
THEY FIND CHRIST AND THEY QUIT
DRINKING AND THEY QUIT ABUSING
00:13:57.70\00:14:01.10
THEIR FAMILY AND THEY GET
A JOB AND THEY HOLD IT DOWN.
00:14:01.10\00:14:03.16
THEY CLEAN THE FRONT YARD.
00:14:03.16\00:14:04.86
THAT'S THE EVIDENCE OF THE
GOSPEL - IT CHANGES PEOPLE.
00:14:04.86\00:14:08.93
THAT'S WHY IT'S GOOD NEWS.
00:14:08.93\00:14:10.63
AND IT GIVES HOPE AND PURPOSE.
00:14:10.63\00:14:12.90
CAN ANYONE BE
SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW?
00:14:12.90\00:14:15.76
VERY IMPORTANT.
00:14:15.76\00:14:16.86
NOW, I'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THE LAW, BUT ARE WE SAVED
00:14:16.86\00:14:18.06
BY KEEPING IT?
00:14:18.06\00:14:19.26
DOES THE MIRROR
WASH AWAY THE DIRT? NO.
00:14:19.26\00:14:23.70
AGAIN, EPHESIANS 2, VERSES 8 AND
9, "FOR BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN
00:14:23.70\00:14:27.63
SAVED THROUGH FAITH, NOT OF
YOURSELVES, IT IS A GIFT OF GOD
00:14:27.63\00:14:32.13
NOT OF WORKS LEST
ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST."
00:14:32.13\00:14:36.60
YOU KNOW, I'M NOT TELLING YOU
THESE THINGS TONIGHT TO MAKE YOU
00:14:36.60\00:14:38.63
FEEL BAD - I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY
HERE - WE'VE ALL SINNED.
00:14:38.63\00:14:41.73
MANY MANY TIMES - VARYING
DEGREES BUT IT'S ALL FATAL.
00:14:41.73\00:14:46.43
AND THERE'S ONLY ONE SOLUTION.
00:14:46.43\00:14:48.53
WE NEED TO HAVE
OUR SINS FORGIVEN.
00:14:48.53\00:14:50.93
PAST SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
00:14:50.93\00:14:53.10
SOMEONE ASKED ABOUT THIS - BUT
I NOT ONLY WANT MY PAST RECORD
00:14:53.10\00:14:56.46
WASHED AWAY, I NEED POWER NOW TO
LIVE A NEW LIFE FROM DAY TO DAY.
00:14:56.46\00:15:01.10
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:15:01.10\00:15:02.26
SO GOD, IN THE SACRIFICE OF
CHRIST, HE NOT ONLY WASHES THE
00:15:02.26\00:15:05.13
PAST RECORD SO THAT WHEN YOU
GET OFF YOUR KNEES AND YOU'VE
00:15:05.13\00:15:08.40
REPENTED AND CONFESSED
YOUR SINS, YOU STAND UP -
00:15:08.40\00:15:11.13
YOU NOW HAVE A FRESH
LIFE - ALL THE GUILT AND SHAME
00:15:11.13\00:15:14.80
OF THE PAST IS GONE.
00:15:14.80\00:15:15.93
BUT, HEY, YOU'VE STILL GOT
ALL THOSE MEMORIES AND HABITS.
00:15:15.93\00:15:19.16
NOW WHAT?
00:15:19.16\00:15:20.26
THE POWER AND BLOOD OF
CHRIST GIVES YOU A NEW DYNAMIC.
00:15:20.26\00:15:24.73
IT GIVES YOU THE
ABILITY TO BE NEW CREATURES -
00:15:24.73\00:15:26.93
A NEW MOTIVATION OF LOVE.
00:15:26.93\00:15:28.86
SO PRESENTLY THE GRACE OF GOD
HELPS YOU WALK IN A NEWNESS OF
00:15:28.86\00:15:32.36
LIFE, THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:15:32.36\00:15:34.83
AND THEN, IF I DO SLIP IN
THE FUTURE - 'IF ANY MAN SINS WE
00:15:34.83\00:15:39.60
HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH
THE FATHER, JESUS CHRIST THE
00:15:39.60\00:15:41.70
RIGHTEOUS.' SO THAT
GRACE IS CONTINUALLY
00:15:41.70\00:15:43.73
APPLIED AS WE
GROW IN SANCTIFICATION.
00:15:43.73\00:15:47.36
'NOT THE HEARERS OF THE
LAW' - PAUL SAID - 'ARE JUST IN
00:15:47.36\00:15:50.60
THE SIGHT OF GOD' - THIS IS
ROMANS 2:13 - VERY CLEAR VERSE -
00:15:50.60\00:15:54.40
"NOT THE HEARERS OF THE LAW
ARE JUST IN THE SIGHT OF GOD,
00:15:54.40\00:15:56.53
BUT THE DOERS OF
THE LAW ARE JUSTIFIED."
00:15:56.53\00:16:00.43
WE'RE NOT JUSTIFIED BY DOING THE
LAW, BUT DOING THE LAW INDICATES
00:16:00.43\00:16:04.73
WE HAVE BEEN CHANGED.
00:16:04.73\00:16:06.03
LET ME SEE IF I CAN
PUT IT TO YOU ANOTHER WAY.
00:16:06.03\00:16:08.50
WHEN THE LORD BROUGHT THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT,
00:16:08.50\00:16:12.10
DID HE GIVE THEM THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS BEFORE HE SAVED
00:16:12.10\00:16:15.43
THEM OR AFTER HE SAVED THEM?
00:16:15.43\00:16:18.36
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS - DID THEY
HAPPEN IN EGYPT OR DOES HE GIVE
00:16:18.36\00:16:21.06
THEM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AFTER
HE SAVED THEM FROM SLAVERY?
00:16:21.06\00:16:25.10
SO YOU'RE NOT
SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW.
00:16:25.10\00:16:27.06
WHAT DID THEY HAVE TO DO?
00:16:27.06\00:16:28.70
THEY DID HAVE TO OBEY AND
SACRIFICE A LAMB BEFORE THEY
00:16:28.70\00:16:32.23
GOT OUT OF EGYPT.
00:16:32.23\00:16:33.63
IF YOU WANT TO BE SAVED FROM
THE SLAVERY OF SIN YOU HAVE TO
00:16:33.63\00:16:35.90
ACCEPT THE LAMB OF GOD.
00:16:35.90\00:16:37.23
THEN AFTER YOU'RE SAVED THEN
HE BRINGS US TO MOUNT ZION -
00:16:37.23\00:16:40.93
HE SAYS, 'NOW, IF YOU
LOVE ME, HERE'S MY LAW.'
00:16:40.93\00:16:44.06
EVEN IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
IT SAYS THAT RIGHT THERE
00:16:44.06\00:16:46.73
IN THE BEGINNING.
00:16:46.73\00:16:48.20
IT SAYS, 'GOD SPOKE ALL THESE
WORDS SAYING, 'I AM THE LORD
00:16:48.20\00:16:50.93
YOUR GOD THAT BROUGHT YOU OUT
OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, OUT OF THE
00:16:50.93\00:16:53.30
HOUSE OF BONDAGE.
00:16:53.30\00:16:54.40
I AM THE ONE WHO SAVED YOU.
00:16:54.40\00:16:55.73
NOW IF YOU LOVE
ME, HERE'S MY LAW.'
00:16:55.73\00:16:57.16
AND HE LISTS THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:16:57.16\00:16:59.20
SO THEY'RE SAVED - WE COME
TO HIM JUST LIKE WE ARE - BY
00:16:59.20\00:17:02.26
THE LAMB - THAT
PASSOVER LAMB, JESUS.
00:17:02.26\00:17:04.83
THEN AFTER THEY'RE SAVED
THEN HE SAYS, 'HERE'S MY LAW.
00:17:04.83\00:17:08.06
DO YOU REALLY LOVE ME?
00:17:08.06\00:17:09.50
TRUST ME. OBEY ME.'
AGAIN, NOT THE TEN SUGGESTIONS.
00:17:09.50\00:17:14.46
WHAT ENABLES A TRULY CONVERTED
CHRISTIAN TO FOLLOW THE PATTERN
00:17:14.46\00:17:18.63
OF GOD'S LAW?
00:17:18.63\00:17:20.43
HOW DO WE FOLLOW THIS
PATTERN, THIS NEW LAW?
00:17:20.43\00:17:24.03
ANSWER: GOD SENDING HIS SON IN -
CONDEMNED SIN IN THE FLESH THAT
00:17:24.03\00:17:31.20
THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENT OF THE
LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US.
00:17:31.20\00:17:35.70
CHRIST CAME NOT ONLY TO GIVE US
AN EXAMPLE, HE CAME TO SHOW US
00:17:35.70\00:17:39.06
WHAT THE FATHER'S LIKE.
00:17:39.06\00:17:40.16
BUT THERE ON THE CROSS -
HE LIVED A PERFECT LIFE RIGHT
00:17:40.16\00:17:43.73
UP TO THE END - HE
SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED.'
00:17:43.73\00:17:46.20
AND BECAUSE HE WAS
VICTORIOUS WE CAN BE VICTORIOUS.
00:17:46.20\00:17:49.70
YOU SEE, YOU AND I,
GENETICALLY, ARE DEFECTIVE.
00:17:49.70\00:17:53.46
WHEN ADAM SINNED, SOMETHING -
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S DNA OR WHAT
00:17:53.46\00:17:56.86
IT IS BUT LET'S FACE IT - EVERY
HUMAN, WE'RE BORN WITH THIS
00:17:56.86\00:18:01.06
NATURAL SELFISH TENDENCY.
00:18:01.06\00:18:04.70
THAT'S THE FIRST ADAM.
00:18:04.70\00:18:06.96
CHRIST IS THE SECOND ADAM.
00:18:06.96\00:18:09.16
THROUGH HIS SUCCESSFUL LIFE -
YOU KNOW, ADAM FELL IN A GARDEN
00:18:09.16\00:18:12.00
- JESUS OVERCAME IN A
DESERT WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED
00:18:12.00\00:18:14.30
BY THE DEVIL.
00:18:14.30\00:18:16.86
HE'S THE SECOND ADAM.
00:18:16.86\00:18:18.10
THROUGH HIS SUCCESSFUL LIFE -
AND THE CROSS IS A TREE OF LIFE,
00:18:18.10\00:18:22.20
BY THE WAY - YOU AND I NOW
BECOME INFUSED WITH A NEW POWER
00:18:22.20\00:18:27.86
- THERE'S A NEW
DYNAMIC - TO BE NEW CREATURES.
00:18:27.86\00:18:30.23
HOW DO WE GET THAT?
00:18:30.23\00:18:31.86
YOU BELIEVE.
00:18:31.86\00:18:33.20
YOU HAVE FAITH AND IT HAPPENS.
00:18:33.20\00:18:36.16
'BE IT UNTO YOU' - JESUS SAID
- 'ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH.'
00:18:36.16\00:18:38.00
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT CHRIST IS IN
YOU AND HIS SPIRIT IS WITH YOU
00:18:38.00\00:18:40.96
AND THAT HE'S FORGIVEN YOU
- AGAIN, ROMAN'S 14, VERSE 15,
00:18:40.96\00:18:45.10
"IF YOU LOVE ME
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
00:18:45.10\00:18:48.83
WHY DO WE OBEY GOD?
00:18:48.83\00:18:50.63
BECAUSE SIN HURTS HIM.
00:18:50.63\00:18:51.73
IF YOU DOUBT
THAT, LOOK AT THE CROSS.
00:18:51.73\00:18:53.83
HOW MUCH DOES SIN HURT JESUS.
00:18:53.83\00:18:56.43
WE SAY 'WE LOVE THE LORD.
00:18:56.43\00:18:58.23
WE LOVE THE LORD.'
HOW DO YOU SHOW YOU LOVE
00:18:58.23\00:18:59.33
THE LORD?
00:18:59.33\00:19:01.36
BY CRUCIFYING HIM AFRESH?
00:19:01.36\00:19:03.36
OR BY WALKING IN
A NEWNESS OF LIFE?
00:19:03.36\00:19:05.40
BE WILLING TO DO HIS WILL.
00:19:05.40\00:19:07.46
ROMANS CHAPTER 13, VERSE
10, "THEREFORE LOVE IS THE
00:19:07.46\00:19:11.56
FULFILLING OF THE LAW."
00:19:11.56\00:19:12.80
IT'S LIKE THIS: THE
TWO COMMANDMENTS ARE
00:19:12.80\00:19:14.73
SUMMARIZED IN THE TEN.
00:19:14.73\00:19:17.76
FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS ARE ON
THE FIRST TABLE - THEY REPRESENT
00:19:17.76\00:19:21.96
YOUR LOVE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD:
DON'T HAVE OTHER GODS BEFORE ME,
00:19:21.96\00:19:26.26
DON'T BOW DOWN TO GRAVEN IMAGES,
DON'T USE GOD'S NAME IN VAIN,
00:19:26.26\00:19:29.26
REMEMBER THAT HOLY TIME WITH
GOD - THAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP
00:19:29.26\00:19:32.73
WITH GOD.
00:19:32.73\00:19:34.26
THE LAST SIX COMMANDMENTS DEAL
WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR
00:19:34.26\00:19:36.76
FELLOW MAN: HONOR YOUR FATHER
AND MOTHER, DON'T STEAL, DON'T
00:19:36.76\00:19:39.86
COMMIT ADULTERY, DON'T BEAR
FALSE WITNESS, DON'T COVET -
00:19:39.86\00:19:45.00
THAT REPRESENTS
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:19:45.00\00:19:46.93
YOUR FELLOW MAN.
00:19:46.93\00:19:48.16
LOVE TO GOD. LOVE TO MAN.
00:19:48.16\00:19:53.00
IT'S THIS LOVE RELATIONSHIP AND
IT'S THIS LOVE RELATIONSHIP AND
00:19:53.00\00:19:56.73
THAT REPRESENTS A CROSS.
00:19:56.73\00:19:58.93
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE ALL SUMMARIZED IN LOVE.
00:19:58.93\00:20:02.26
HOW DO YOU SHOW LOVE?
00:20:02.26\00:20:03.56
I'VE GOT TWO ARMS -
LOVE GOD, LOVE MY FELLOW MAN.
00:20:03.56\00:20:05.86
I'VE GOT TEN FINGERS - I
DEMONSTRATE MY LOVE FOR GOD
00:20:05.86\00:20:09.13
AND MY LOVE FOR MY FELLOW
MAN WITH MY LIFE - MY ACTIONS.
00:20:09.13\00:20:15.10
ALL RIGHT, MATTHEW 22, VERSE 37,
"YOU SHOULD LOVE THE LORD YOUR
00:20:15.10\00:20:18.56
GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR
HEART, WITH ALL OF YOUR SOUL
00:20:18.56\00:20:21.50
AND WITH ALL OF YOUR MIND.
00:20:21.50\00:20:23.73
THIS IS THE FIRST AND THE GREAT
COMMANDMENT," JESUS SAID, "AND
00:20:23.73\00:20:26.73
THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT."
00:20:26.73\00:20:28.60
YOU SHOULD LOVE YOUR
NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
00:20:28.60\00:20:31.50
THE BIBLE ENDS BY SAYING -
REVELATION 22:14, "BLESSED" - I
00:20:31.50\00:20:35.53
WANT YOU TO BE BLESSED, FRIENDS
- "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DO HIS
00:20:35.53\00:20:38.60
COMMANDMENTS THAT THEY MIGHT
HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE
00:20:38.60\00:20:41.40
AND ENTER IN THROUGH
THE GATES OF THE CITY.
00:20:41.40\00:20:44.63
WHAT ABOUT GOD'S LAW
COMPARED WITH MOSES' LAW?
00:20:44.63\00:20:49.03
ARE THEY THE SAME THING?
00:20:49.03\00:20:50.56
NOW HERE'S WHERE
PEOPLE GET CONFUSED.
00:20:50.56\00:20:52.86
THERE IS A DISTINCTION
IN THE BIBLE BETWEEN THE TEN
00:20:52.86\00:20:55.10
COMMANDMENTS AND THE CEREMONIAL
LAWS AND ORDINANCES OF MOSES.
00:20:55.10\00:21:00.43
FOR INSTANCE, DEUTERONOMY 4:13,
IT SAYS, "GOD DECLARED UNTO YOU
00:21:00.43\00:21:05.30
HIS COVENANT, WHICH HE
COMMANDED YOU TO PERFORM,
00:21:05.30\00:21:08.30
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS."
00:21:08.30\00:21:09.80
SO THE COVENANT OF GOD
IS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:21:09.80\00:21:12.10
BUT MOSES GOES ON TO SAY, "AND
HE WROTE THEM ON TWO TABLES OF
00:21:12.10\00:21:16.10
STONE AND THE LORD COMMANDED
ME AT THAT TIME TO TEACH YOU
00:21:16.10\00:21:21.20
STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS THAT YOU
MIGHT OBSERVE THEM IN THE LAND
00:21:21.20\00:21:24.90
YOU CROSS OVER TO POSSESS."
00:21:24.90\00:21:26.46
AGAIN, 2 CHRONICLES 33, VERSE
8 - THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT LAWS
00:21:26.46\00:21:30.06
THAT ARE BEING TALKED ABOUT HERE
- "ONLY IF THEY ARE CAREFUL TO
00:21:30.06\00:21:33.40
DO ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED
THEM ACCORDING TO THE WHOLE LAW
00:21:33.40\00:21:38.00
AND THE STATUTES AND ORDINANCES
BY THE HAND OF MOSES."
00:21:38.00\00:21:42.03
YOU'VE GOT THE FINGER
OF GOD - TEN COMMANDMENTS -
00:21:42.03\00:21:44.53
HAND OF MOSES.
00:21:44.53\00:21:46.26
ONE WRITTEN BY HAND,
ONE WRITTEN BY FINGER.
00:21:46.26\00:21:49.46
THE CEREMONIAL LAWS HAVE BEEN
ABOLISHED - THEY ARE NAILED TO
00:21:49.46\00:21:52.86
THE CROSS - "HAVING ABOLISHED
THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS
00:21:52.86\00:21:56.30
CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES."
00:21:56.30\00:21:59.00
DO WE NEED TO
SACRIFICE LAMBS ANYMORE? NO.
00:21:59.00\00:22:02.20
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'CIRCUMCISION
IS NOTHING, UNCIRCUMCISION
00:22:02.20\00:22:04.43
IS NOTHING, BUT KEEPING THE
COMMANDMENTS IS WHAT MATTERS.'
00:22:04.43\00:22:07.46
THAT'S WHAT PAUL SAID.
00:22:07.46\00:22:08.63
SO WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OLD AND
00:22:08.63\00:22:10.96
THE NEW COVENANT?
00:22:10.96\00:22:12.30
WELL, I'VE SORT
OF ILLUSTRATED THIS.
00:22:12.30\00:22:14.30
'HE DECLARED TO YOU HIS
COVENANT, WHICH HE COMMANDED YOU
00:22:14.30\00:22:16.86
TO PERFORM, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
AND HE WROTE THEM ON TWO TABLES
00:22:16.86\00:22:21.00
OF STONE.' NOW, YOU
REMEMBER WHEN MOSES GOT
00:22:21.00\00:22:24.03
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FROM THE
LORD HE SAID, 'YOU BETTER GET
00:22:24.03\00:22:26.53
ROTGE
00:22:26.53\00:22:28.93
DOWN THE MOUNTAIN.' WHY?
00:22:26.53\00:22:28.93
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
HAD GOTTEN INTO SOME TROUBLE.
00:22:28.93\00:22:31.96
BEFORE - THEY GOT
TIRED OF WAITING FOR MOSES
00:22:31.96\00:22:34.16
AND WHAT DID THEY MAKE?
00:22:34.16\00:22:36.30
A GOLDEN CALF.
00:22:36.30\00:22:37.96
AND THEY BEGAN TO BREAK
ALL OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS
00:22:37.96\00:22:39.66
RIGHT THEN AND THERE.
00:22:39.66\00:22:41.46
AND SO GOD SAID, 'LOOK, YOU MADE
A PROMISE WHEN I GAVE YOU THE
00:22:41.46\00:22:44.40
TEN COMMANDMENTS, YOU SAID, 'ALL
THE LORD HAS SAID WE WILL DO.''
00:22:44.40\00:22:49.20
THEY BROKE THE COVENANT
- THEY BROKE THE AGREEMENT.
00:22:49.20\00:22:51.36
SO GOD SAID, IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, JEREMIAH 31:31
00:22:51.36\00:22:55.80
IS WHERE YOU FIRST
FIND THE NEW COVENANT.
00:22:55.80\00:22:57.76
GOD MAKES A NEW COVENANT
- HE SAYS, 'I'LL TELL YOU
00:22:57.76\00:22:59.56
WHAT, THE OLD COVENANT YOU
SAID, 'WE'LL DO IT, LORD.''
00:22:59.56\00:23:01.96
NEW COVENANT GOD
SAYS, 'NO, YOU CAN'T DO IT.
00:23:01.96\00:23:04.83
I WILL DO IT.
00:23:04.83\00:23:06.06
I WILL WRITE MY
LAW IN YOUR HEART.'
00:23:06.06\00:23:08.13
SAME LAW - THAT'S WHY IT SAYS
IN HEBREWS 8:8, "FINDING FAULT
00:23:08.13\00:23:12.50
WITH THEM."
00:23:12.50\00:23:13.70
THE FAULT WITH THE OLD COVENANT
WAS NOT WITH THE LAW, IT WAS
00:23:13.70\00:23:15.46
WITH THE PEOPLE - WITH THEM.
00:23:15.46\00:23:17.53
"FINDING FAULT WITH THEM" HE
SAID, "I'LL MAKE A NEW COVENANT
00:23:17.53\00:23:20.60
WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL
AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH."
00:23:20.60\00:23:23.70
YOU KNOW, GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE.
00:23:23.70\00:23:27.56
HE'S OUR HEAVENLY FATHER BUT
HE'S ALSO OUR RIGHTEOUS KING.
00:23:27.56\00:23:29.86
HE'S GOT A LAW THAT IS
UNCHANGEABLE AND UNLESS WE
00:23:29.86\00:23:32.20
ALLOW HIM TO CHANGE
US, HE CAN'T SAVE US.
00:23:32.20\00:23:36.16
IT SAYS IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 10,
VERSE 26, "IF WE CONTINUE TO SIN
00:23:36.16\00:23:39.60
WILFULLY AFTER WE RECEIVE
THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH THERE IS
00:23:39.60\00:23:43.46
NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN."
00:23:43.46\00:23:45.40
AFTER GOD GIVES HIS SON TO
SAVE US, WHAT MORE CAN HE DO?
00:23:45.40\00:23:49.03
DON'T LET THE DEVIL FOOL
YOU INTO THINKING YOU CAN'T BE
00:23:49.03\00:23:52.33
A NEW CREATURE.
00:23:52.33\00:23:53.03
YES YOU CAN.
00:23:53.03\00:23:54.63
DO YOU HAVE MORE
FAITH IN THE DEVIL OR GOD?
00:23:54.63\00:23:57.36
CAN GOD GIVE YOU A NEW HEART?
00:23:57.36\00:23:58.93
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:23:58.93\00:24:00.70
TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A
TIME, FRIENDS, YOU CAN BE
00:24:00.70\00:24:02.23
A NEW CREATURE.
00:24:02.23\00:24:03.43
GOD WANTS YOU TO BE A PEOPLE
THAT WILL HONOR HIM, RECOGNIZING
00:24:03.43\00:24:07.70
JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS -
HE DIED FOR OUR DISOBEDIENCE.
00:24:07.70\00:24:12.10
HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE
ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.'
00:24:12.10\00:24:15.70
YOU CAN DO IT WITH HIM IN YOU.
00:24:15.70\00:24:19.56
