>>WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD.
00:01:45.80\00:01:49.24
AND IN THIS NEW SERIES DEALING
WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, I'VE
00:01:49.27\00:01:52.41
CALLED IT 'LAWS OF LOVE
AND LIBERTY' AND I THINK YOU'LL
00:01:52.44\00:01:56.48
UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR THE
TITLE A LITTLE LATER ON IN THE
00:01:56.51\00:01:59.31
SERIES. THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS REPRESENT
00:01:59.35\00:02:03.65
THE VERY EPITOME OF THE WORD
OF GOD. IT IS GOOD AND IT IS
00:02:03.69\00:02:09.26
APPROPRIATE FOR US TO DEDICATE
TIME TO TALK ABOUT THESE
00:02:09.29\00:02:13.53
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
THAT YOU FIND IN THE LAW OF GOD.
00:02:13.56\00:02:17.50
NOW IT'S SAD THAT WE'RE
LIVING IN A TIME WHERE EVEN IN A
00:02:17.53\00:02:20.97
CHRISTIAN CHURCH, SOMEONE WHO'S
A MINISTER MIGHT NEED TO SOUND
00:02:21.00\00:02:24.57
APOLOGETIC ABOUT
TALKING ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD.
00:02:24.61\00:02:27.71
SOME PEOPLE WILL, NO DOUBT, SAY
THAT WE'RE LEGALISTIC BECAUSE
00:02:27.74\00:02:31.18
WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD.
00:02:31.21\00:02:33.28
BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT JESUS
SAID. MATTHEW CHAPTER 5, VERSE
00:02:33.31\00:02:36.35
19, "...WHOSOEVER SHALL DO AND
TEACH THEM (THESE COMMANDMENTS),
00:02:36.38\00:02:42.46
THE SAME SHALL BE CALLED
GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN."
00:02:42.49\00:02:45.96
OUR LIVES ARE REGULATED EVERY
DAY BY LAW, BUT THAT LAW IS NOT
00:02:45.99\00:02:50.50
THERE TO RESTRICT OR
TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM.
00:02:50.53\00:02:53.10
YOU LOSE YOUR
FREEDOM WHEN YOU HAVE NO LAW.
00:02:53.13\00:02:57.34
THE LAW IS THERE TO PROTECT YOUR
LIBERTIES AND IT'S ALSO TRUE OF
00:02:57.37\00:03:02.34
THE LAW OF GOD. IT'S
NOT DESIGNED TO TAKE AWAY
00:03:02.38\00:03:04.81
YOUR HAPPINESS, BUT TO GIVE YOU
REAL PEACE AND HAPPINESS - COMES
00:03:04.85\00:03:09.22
FROM THE WORD OF
GOD AND THE LAW OF GOD.
00:03:09.25\00:03:12.05
JESUS WARNED US IN THE LAST
DAYS THAT THERE WOULD BE GREAT
00:03:12.09\00:03:16.32
LAWLESSNESS. MATTER
OF FACT, CHRIST SAID,
00:03:16.36\00:03:19.73
'BECAUSE INIQUITY' - LAWLESSNESS
- 'WILL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY
00:03:19.76\00:03:23.87
WILL GROW COLD.' -
MATTHEW CHAPTER 24.
00:03:23.90\00:03:26.80
PAUL SAID, IN 2 TIMOTHY
3:13, "BUT EVIL MEN AND SEDUCERS
00:03:26.84\00:03:31.91
WILL WAX WORSE AND WORSE..."
00:03:31.94\00:03:34.94
JESUS SAID JUST BEFORE HE COMES
BACK IT WILL BE AS IT WAS IN THE
00:03:34.98\00:03:38.81
DAYS OF NOAH, AS IT WAS IN THE
DAYS OF LOT, AND THE BIBLE SAYS
00:03:38.85\00:03:43.52
THAT THERE WAS
GREAT LAWLESSNESS.
00:03:43.55\00:03:46.22
WE ALL REMEMBER WHAT CONDITIONS
WERE IN SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:03:46.25\00:03:49.52
THERE WAS A MOB MENTALITY
AT THE DOOR OF LOT'S HOUSE.
00:03:49.56\00:03:53.03
IN THE TIME OF NOAH IT SAYS 'THE
THOUGHTS OF MEN'S HEARTS WERE
00:03:53.06\00:03:56.36
ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY.' SO
THERE WAS GREAT LAWLESSNESS THAT
00:03:56.40\00:04:02.37
SHOULD NOT EXIST
AMONG GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:04:02.40\00:04:04.97
WE NEED TO KNOW
SOMETHING ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD.
00:04:05.01\00:04:07.01
ULTIMATELY, IF YOU WOULD BE
SAVED, YOU MUST HAVE THE NEW
00:04:07.04\00:04:09.48
COVENANT, WHICH IS THE LAW
OF GOD WRITTEN IN YOUR HEARTS,
00:04:09.51\00:04:12.58
AMEN? AND SO THIS
IS A VERY RELEVANT
00:04:12.61\00:04:15.58
AND A VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
NOW, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS DID
00:04:15.62\00:04:20.12
NOT BEGIN AT MOUNT
SINAI. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HAVE
00:04:20.16\00:04:24.59
EXISTED THROUGH
ETERNITY. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:04:24.63\00:04:28.36
THE PRINCIPLES OF GOD'S
LAW HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE.
00:04:28.40\00:04:32.13
LET ME PROVE THAT TO
YOU FROM THE BIBLE, QUICKLY.
00:04:32.17\00:04:34.54
GENESIS 26, VERSE 5 - ABRAHAM
- DID HE LIVE BEFORE OR AFTER
00:04:34.57\00:04:38.84
MOSES? BEFORE MOSES. SO
ABRAHAM LIVED BEFORE MOUNT
00:04:38.87\00:04:44.08
SINAI AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
WERE CODIFIED, RIGHT?
00:04:44.11\00:04:47.82
IT SAYS, "BECAUSE THAT ABRAHAM
OBEYED MY VOICE, AND KEPT MY
00:04:47.85\00:04:50.72
CHARGE, MY COMMANDMENTS,
MY STATUTES, AND MY LAWS."
00:04:50.75\00:04:55.16
BEFORE MOSES EVER CAME
ALONG, GOD HAD COMMANDMENTS AND
00:04:55.19\00:04:58.79
STATUTES AND LAWS. HE
MUST HAVE GIVEN SOME OF THESE
00:04:58.83\00:05:01.33
THINGS, AT LEAST
ORALLY, TO ADAM AND EVE.
00:05:01.36\00:05:04.30
GENESIS 39, VERSE 9 - WHEN
JOSEPH WAS TEMPTED BY THE WIFE
00:05:04.33\00:05:09.50
OF POTIPHAR, HIS MASTER, JOSEPH
KNEW ADULTERY WAS WRONG AND HE
00:05:09.54\00:05:14.11
SAID, "THERE IS NO ONE GREATER
IN THIS HOUSE THAN I, NOR HAS HE
00:05:14.14\00:05:17.81
KEPT BACK ANYTHING FROM ME BUT
YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE HIS WIFE."
00:05:17.85\00:05:21.75
- YOU KNOW, THE SEVENTH
COMMANDMENT - "HOW THEN CAN I DO
00:05:21.78\00:05:24.55
THIS GREAT WICKEDNESS,
AND SIN AGAINST GOD?"
00:05:24.59\00:05:27.99
DID JOSEPH KNOW BACK
THEN THAT ADULTERY WAS A SIN?
00:05:28.02\00:05:31.63
WHAT? BEFORE THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS? I MEAN, CAN YOU
00:05:31.66\00:05:34.83
REALLY IMAGINE PEOPLE LIVING
BACK THEN SAYING, 'OH' - GOD
00:05:34.83\00:05:39.00
GIVES THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
THERE AT MOUNT SINAI AND
00:05:39.03\00:05:41.10
THEY SAY - THEY ELBOW EACH OTHER
- 'YOU MEAN WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED
00:05:41.14\00:05:43.47
TO BE COMMITTING ADULTERY?
OH, WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO STEAL?
00:05:43.51\00:05:46.74
WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO MURDER?'
DON'T YOU THINK SOME OF THOSE
00:05:46.78\00:05:48.54
WERE SELF-EVIDENT TRUTHS?
GOD WAS PULLING IT ALL TOGETHER
00:05:48.58\00:05:53.15
AND SUMMARIZING IT FOR THEM.
PSALM 111, VERSE 7, "...ALL HIS
00:05:53.18\00:05:58.85
COMMANDMENTS ARE SURE.
THEY STAND FAST FOR EVER AND
00:05:58.89\00:06:03.53
EVER." GOD'S LAW
IS FOR EVER AND EVER.
00:06:03.56\00:06:06.73
AND EVEN THERE IN THE VERY
BEGINNING WHEN CAIN ENDED UP
00:06:06.76\00:06:10.30
KILLING HIS BROTHER
ABEL, WHAT DID GOD SAY?
00:06:10.33\00:06:13.74
"IF YOU DO WELL,
WILL YOU NOT BE ACCEPTED?"
00:06:13.77\00:06:16.00
- GENESIS 4:7 - "AND IF YOU
DO NOT DO WELL, SIN LIES AT THE
00:06:16.04\00:06:20.98
DOOR." AND SO GOD
WAS DESCRIBING THAT
00:06:21.01\00:06:24.18
IT WAS A SIN TO MURDER, WAY
BACK THERE IN THE BEGINNING.
00:06:24.21\00:06:27.82
SO GOD'S LAW HAS
ETERNAL PRINCIPLES.
00:06:27.85\00:06:31.25
DO YOU KNOW WHY GOD CANNOT
CHANGE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:06:31.29\00:06:35.06
BECAUSE HE WOULD
HAVE TO CHANGE HIMSELF.
00:06:35.09\00:06:38.46
JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME
YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER.
00:06:38.49\00:06:42.30
'I AM THE LORD, I DO NOT
CHANGE.' THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:06:42.33\00:06:45.10
ARE A PERFECT
EXPRESSION OF GOD'S CHARACTER.
00:06:45.13\00:06:51.11
THAT'S MY SECOND POINT.
ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, WHAT IS
00:06:51.14\00:06:54.61
SIN? NOW, THE MOST CLINICAL
DEFINITION YOU FIND IN 1 JOHN 3,
00:06:54.64\00:07:00.88
VERSE 4, "...SIN IS THE
TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW."
00:07:00.92\00:07:06.09
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? SO
THE DEVIL DOESN'T WANT US
00:07:06.12\00:07:10.09
TALKING ABOUT SIN. YOU KNOW WHY?
00:07:10.13\00:07:12.43
WHEN YOU PREACH AND YOU
TALK ABOUT SIN, PEOPLE BECOME
00:07:12.46\00:07:14.86
PAINFULLY AWARE THAT THEY HAVE
PROBLEMS - THAT THEY ARE SINNERS
00:07:14.93\00:07:19.33
- AND WHEN THEY BECOME AWARE
THEY ARE SINNERS, THEN THEY
00:07:19.37\00:07:22.94
START FEELING THE
NEED FOR A SAVIOR.
00:07:22.97\00:07:25.81
SO IF YOU CAN JUST QUIET
THE CHURCH DOWN WHERE THEY DON'T
00:07:25.84\00:07:28.31
TALK ABOUT THE LAW, PEOPLE WILL
NOT FEEL A CONVICTION FOR SIN,
00:07:28.34\00:07:31.75
THEY WILL NOT SENSE THEIR
NEED OF JESUS OR REPENTANCE, AND
00:07:31.78\00:07:35.05
WON'T FIND SALVATION.
THE LAW LEADS TO SALVATION.
00:07:35.08\00:07:40.79
WHILE WE ARE NOT SAVED BY THE
LAW, YOU CANNOT BE CONVICTED OF
00:07:40.82\00:07:45.33
YOUR SIN WITHOUT
KNOWING SOMETHING ABOUT THE LAW.
00:07:45.36\00:07:49.73
AND SO, IT TELLS US THAT SIN IS
THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S LAW.
00:07:49.76\00:07:53.94
THAT'S WHY GOD SAID TO CAIN,
'SIN LIES AT THE DOOR.' HE WAS
00:07:53.97\00:07:57.67
GETTING READY TO
MURDER HIS BROTHER.
00:07:57.71\00:07:59.57
ROMANS 3:20, "...BY THE
LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN."
00:07:59.61\00:08:03.95
GET RID OF THE LAW, YOU GET
RID OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.
00:08:03.98\00:08:06.95
GET RID OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN,
NOBODY NEEDS A SAVIOR FROM SIN.
00:08:06.98\00:08:10.72
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND
THE DEVIL'S STRATEGY?
00:08:10.75\00:08:13.02
HE'S ATTACKING THE LAW.
00:08:13.05\00:08:14.52
HE'S TRYING TO ECLIPSE, OBSCURE,
HIDE THE LAW OF GOD, DOWNPLAY
00:08:14.56\00:08:18.13
THE LAW OF GOD, BECAUSE
THEN PEOPLE WON'T KNOW THEY'RE
00:08:18.16\00:08:20.86
SINNERS AND THEY WON'T
KNOW HOW MUCH THEY NEED JESUS.
00:08:20.90\00:08:23.40
THEY WON'T BE SAVED AND FORGIVEN
OF THEIR SINS AND THEY WON'T
00:08:23.43\00:08:26.33
HAVE THE PEACE THAT
COMES FROM THAT EXPERIENCE.
00:08:26.37\00:08:29.87
IT ALSO TELLS US - ROMANS 7:7 -
"I HAD NOT KNOWN SIN, BUT BY THE
00:08:29.90\00:08:35.54
LAW; FOR I HAD NOT KNOWN LUST,
EXCEPT THE LAW HAD SAID, 'THOU
00:08:35.58\00:08:39.08
SHALT NOT COVET.'" - NOTICE THAT
PAUL IS QUOTING FROM ONE OF THE
00:08:39.11\00:08:41.55
TEN COMMANDMENTS. SO
RIGHT IN THE LAW OF GOD IT'S
00:08:41.58\00:08:45.49
REVEALING WHAT SIN IS AND
THEREBY HELPING US KNOW OUR NEED
00:08:45.52\00:08:49.69
FOR A SAVIOR. NOW, A CHRISTIAN
IS ULTIMATELY A FOLLOWER OF
00:08:49.72\00:08:53.66
CHRIST. HOW DID JESUS FEEL
ABOUT THE LAW? DID HE UPHOLD IT?
00:08:53.70\00:08:59.60
JOHN 15, VERSE 10 - DID
JESUS KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:08:59.63\00:09:03.74
THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION. HE
SAID - IF YOU BELIEVE JESUS -
00:09:03.77\00:09:07.64
"...I HAVE KEPT MY
FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS..."
00:09:07.68\00:09:10.88
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT JESUS
CAME TO DO AWAY WITH THE LAW.
00:09:10.91\00:09:13.98
CHRIST SAID, 'DO NOT THINK' - IN
MATTHEW - 'THINK NOT THAT I HAVE
00:09:14.02\00:09:17.69
COME TO DESTROY THE LAW AND
THE PROPHETS, I DID NOT COME TO
00:09:17.72\00:09:20.42
DESTROY BUT TO FULFILL.' AND
THE WORD 'FULFILL' THERE MEANS
00:09:20.46\00:09:24.06
'TO FILL FULL'. JESUS
CAME TO FILL UP THE LAW -
00:09:24.09\00:09:28.16
KEEP IT IN HIS LIFE. SOME
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, HE CAME
00:09:28.20\00:09:30.70
TO KEEP IT SO WE DON'T HAVE
TO. NO, HE CAME TO KEEP IT AS AN
00:09:30.73\00:09:33.90
EXAMPLE ON HOW WE CAN. A
CHRISTIAN IS A FOLLOWER OF
00:09:33.94\00:09:38.01
CHRIST. WE DON'T NEED EXCUSES TO
00:09:38.04\00:09:39.77
DISOBEY, WE'RE
ALREADY REALLY GOOD AT THAT.
00:09:39.81\00:09:42.34
WE NEED - WE NEED AN EXAMPLE
TO SHOW US HOW DO WE OVERCOME.
00:09:42.38\00:09:47.58
AND JESUS, THERE IN REVELATION,
HE SAYS SEVEN TIMES IN HIS
00:09:47.62\00:09:50.89
MESSAGE TO THE CHURCHES, 'TO
HIM THAT OVERCOMES, TO HIM THAT
00:09:50.92\00:09:53.56
OVERCOMES, TO HIM THAT
OVERCOMES' - EACH TIME IT'S
00:09:53.59\00:09:56.46
ACCOMPANIED WITH
GREAT PROMISES OF GOOD.
00:09:56.49\00:09:59.89
THE DEVIL WANTS US TO THINK
THAT WE CAN ALL SIN BUT WE CAN'T
00:09:59.93\00:10:03.77
OBEY. AND REALLY,
WHAT THAT MEANS IS
00:10:03.80\00:10:07.20
WE HAVE MORE FAITH IN THE
DEVIL'S ABILITY TO TEMPT US THAN
00:10:07.24\00:10:10.91
JESUS' ABILITY TO
KEEP US FROM FALLING.
00:10:10.94\00:10:14.78
SO WHAT'S BIGGER,
YOUR GOD OR YOUR DEVIL?
00:10:14.81\00:10:17.91
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS
CAN TRANSFORM YOU - CAN THE LORD
00:10:17.95\00:10:20.58
HELP YOU WITH ANY SIN?
HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER EXPERIENCED
00:10:20.62\00:10:23.72
GOD GIVING YOU VICTORY
OVER ANY SIN IN YOUR LIFE?
00:10:23.75\00:10:28.86
WELL, IF HE CAN HELP YOU WITH
ANYTHING, THEN HE CAN HELP YOU
00:10:28.89\00:10:31.73
WITH EVERYTHING BECAUSE THE
BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL THINGS ARE
00:10:31.76\00:10:34.83
POSSIBLE WITH GOD, RIGHT?
AND THE SAME WAY THAT HE GAVE
00:10:34.86\00:10:38.53
YOU VICTORY IN WHATEVER THAT
AREA MIGHT BE, HE CAN GIVE YOU
00:10:38.57\00:10:41.37
VICTORY IN THE AREAS WHERE
YOU MAY STILL BE STRUGGLING.
00:10:41.40\00:10:43.94
BUT DON'T FALL FOR THE DEVIL'S
MARKETING PLAN THAT 'OH, WELL,
00:10:43.97\00:10:49.88
JESUS CAME AND OBEYED BECAUSE WE
CAN'T.' NO, HE CAME AND OBEYED
00:10:49.91\00:10:54.18
TO SHOW US HOW WE CAN.
BECAUSE WE - HE HAS GIVEN US AN
00:10:54.22\00:10:58.32
EXAMPLE, THE BIBLE SAYS, THAT WE
SHOULD WALK EVEN AS HE WALKED.
00:10:58.35\00:11:02.52
>>SO IF GOD GOES TO THE TROUBLE
TO SPEAK AUDIBLY BEFORE A WHOLE
00:11:02.56\00:11:06.36
NATION, AND IF HE TAKES THE TIME
TO WRITE IN GRANITE WITH HIS OWN
00:11:06.39\00:11:10.90
FINGER, HIS LAW, THEN IS
THAT SOMETHING CHRISTIANS SHOULD
00:11:10.93\00:11:14.90
STILL THINK ABOUT TODAY?
WHAT ABOUT THE VERSES IN THE
00:11:14.94\00:11:17.97
BIBLE, LIKE ROMANS 6:14,
"WE'RE NO LONGER UNDER THE
00:11:18.01\00:11:20.84
LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE"?
DOES THAT MEAN THAT CHRISTIANS
00:11:20.88\00:11:23.91
NO LONGER HAVE AN OBLIGATION
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:11:23.95\00:11:26.98
WHAT IS THE RIGHT BIBLICAL
RELATIONSHIP FOR THE CHRISTIAN
00:11:27.02\00:11:30.55
BETWEEN SALVATION
AND THE LAW OF GOD?
00:11:30.59\00:11:34.29
HOW DOES IT ALL FIT IN, FRIENDS?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO UNDERSTAND
00:11:34.32\00:11:36.96
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE REALLY TEACH
ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND
00:11:36.99\00:11:40.10
HOW TO APPLY THEM FOR
A NEW TESTMENT CHRISTIAN?

NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS. SHOULD
WE KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:12:14.50\00:12:18.13
MATTHEW 19:17 - JESUS SAID, "BUT
IF YOU WANT TO ENTER INTO LIFE,
00:12:18.17\00:12:21.64
KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS." IS THAT PLAIN?
00:12:21.67\00:12:24.31
SAY 'AMEN' IF THAT'S PLAIN.
00:12:24.34\00:12:25.84
YOUR BIBLE HAS
THAT IN RED LETTERS.
00:12:25.87\00:12:27.24
LET ME TELL YOU ONE MORE
TIME, IT'S MATTHEW 19:17.
00:12:27.28\00:12:29.74
YOU'LL ALSO FIND THIS IN MARK
CHAPTER 10 WHEN THE RICH YOUNG
00:12:29.78\00:12:32.31
RULER CAME TO JESUS AND SAID,
'GOOD MASTER, WHAT GOOD THINGS
00:12:32.35\00:12:35.05
SHALL I DO THAT I
MIGHT INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?'
00:12:35.08\00:12:37.22
JESUS SAID, 'THOU KNOWEST THE
COMMANDMENTS.' AND JESUS THEN
00:12:37.25\00:12:40.06
QUOTED, NOT FROM CEREMONIAL
LAWS, NOT FROM VARIOUS HEALTH
00:12:40.09\00:12:44.16
STATUTES, HE QUOTED FROM THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS. NOW, WE DON'T
00:12:44.19\00:12:48.90
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TO BE
SAVED, BUT IF WE HAVE ACCEPTED
00:12:48.93\00:12:52.77
HIS SALVATION, WE WILL
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:12:52.80\00:12:55.97
YOU ARE NOT SAVED BY KEEPING THE
LAW, BUT YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE
00:12:56.00\00:12:58.97
LOST BY
DELIBERATELY DISOBEYING IT.
00:12:59.01\00:13:02.64
IF WE CONTINUE TO SIN WILFULLY
- HEBREWS CHAPTER 10, VERSE 26 -
00:13:02.68\00:13:07.25
'AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED THE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE
00:13:07.28\00:13:10.09
REMAINS NO MORE SACRIFICE
FOR SIN, BUT A CERTAIN FEARFUL
00:13:10.12\00:13:13.49
LOOKING FORWARD TO OF JUDGMENT.'
AND THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY THAT
00:13:13.52\00:13:16.79
THOSE THAT REFUSE MOSES' LAW,
THEY SUFFERED UNDER THAT WRATH
00:13:16.83\00:13:20.93
AND IT WILL ALSO BE TRUE OF
THOSE WHO DELIBERATELY, WILFULLY
00:13:20.96\00:13:23.70
DISOBEY GOD'S LAW.
SHOULD A CHRISTIAN KEEP
00:13:23.73\00:13:28.44
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
REVELATION 14:12 - SPEAKING OF
00:13:28.47\00:13:32.17
GOD'S PEOPLE IN THE LAST DAYS:
"HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE
00:13:32.21\00:13:35.61
SAINTS; HERE ARE THOSE WHO
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD..."
00:13:35.64\00:13:40.72
AND AGAIN, REVELATION 22:14,
"BLESSED" - THIS IS THE LAST
00:13:40.75\00:13:44.99
CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE, FRIENDS.
I MEAN, IF THINGS WERE GOING TO
00:13:45.02\00:13:47.59
CHANGE HE WOULD
HAVE CHANGED IT BY THEN.
00:13:47.62\00:13:49.82
BUT WHAT DOES IT SAY THERE?
"BLESSED" - IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
00:13:49.86\00:13:54.40
- "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DO HIS
COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE
00:13:54.46\00:13:58.33
THE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE,
AND MAY ENTER THROUGH THE GATES
00:13:58.37\00:14:01.57
INTO THE CITY." IF YOU
WANT TO EAT FROM THE TREE
00:14:01.60\00:14:03.64
OF LIFE AND ENTER IN THROUGH THE
GATES OF THE CITY, THEN YOU NEED
00:14:03.67\00:14:06.11
TO BE ONE OF THOSE
BLESSED PEOPLE THAT KEEPS HIS
00:14:06.14\00:14:09.24
COMMANDMENTS, AMEN? BUT
ISN'T HE ASKING US TO DO
00:14:09.28\00:14:13.45
SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE - IT'S ONE
00:14:13.48\00:14:17.69
THING TO SAY WE SHOULD DO
IT, THAT'S CLEAR, BUT HOW IS IT
00:14:17.72\00:14:20.39
POSSIBLE TO KEEP
GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
00:14:20.42\00:14:23.39
THE ANSWERS ARE GIVEN -
PHILIPPIANS 4:13 - "I CAN DO ALL
00:14:23.43\00:14:27.73
THINGS THROUGH
CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME."
00:14:27.76\00:14:31.70
JESUS WILL GIVE YOU STRENGTH.
HE NEVER SAYS IT'S EASY.
00:14:31.73\00:14:34.90
IT'S TOUGH
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE TEMPTED.
00:14:34.94\00:14:37.07
JESUS WENT THROUGH SOME TOUGH
TEMPTATIONS IN THE WILDERNESS
00:14:37.11\00:14:40.24
WHEN HE WAS FASTING 40 DAYS AND
40 NIGHTS, BUT HE WILL GIVE YOU
00:14:40.28\00:14:43.55
STRENGTH TO DO
WHAT HE ASKS YOU TO DO.
00:14:43.58\00:14:46.28
NOW THERE'S THE POINT.
INHERENT IN EVERY COMMAND OF GOD
00:14:46.31\00:14:51.69
IT'S PRE-PACKAGED
WITH THE POWER TO OBEY.
00:14:51.72\00:14:57.03
WOULDN'T IT BE CRUEL FOR THE
LORD TO PUNISH HIS CHILDREN FOR
00:14:57.06\00:15:01.16
NOT OBEYING A
COMMAND THEY CANNOT OBEY?
00:15:01.20\00:15:05.13
ARE SINNERS
GOING TO BE PUNISHED?
00:15:05.17\00:15:08.87
DID JESUS TAKE A
PUNISHMENT FOR SIN?
00:15:08.90\00:15:11.84
HOW - WHAT RIGHT - HOW JUST
WOULD IT BE IF GOD WOULD PUNISH
00:15:11.87\00:15:17.78
HIS CHILDREN - EVEN HIS OWN SON
- FOR PEOPLE BREAKING LAWS THAT
00:15:17.81\00:15:21.95
IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO
KEEP. YOU SEE WHAT THE DEVIL IS
00:15:21.98\00:15:25.85
ACCUSING PEOPLE OF?
AND I HEAR PASTORS SAY IT -
00:15:25.89\00:15:29.09
OH, IT'S A DOCTRINE OF DEVILS.
I HEAR PASTORS SAY, 'WELL,
00:15:29.12\00:15:32.96
NOBODY CAN KEEP THE LAW.
THAT'S WHY JESUS HAD TO DIE.'
00:15:32.99\00:15:37.53
WELL, IT'S TRUE NO ONE CAN
KEEP IT WITHOUT HIS POWER, BUT I
00:15:37.57\00:15:40.80
BELIEVE, THROUGH
CHRIST, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:15:40.84\00:15:44.01
AND IF GOD IS GOING TO PUNISH
SINNERS FOR SINNING WHEN THEY
00:15:44.04\00:15:47.44
CAN'T OBEY BECAUSE HE'S ASKING
THE IMPOSSIBLE OF THEM, WELL
00:15:47.48\00:15:51.58
THAT MAKES GOD A CRUEL TYRANT.
BUT WITH HIS SPIRIT AND WITH HIS
00:15:51.61\00:15:56.75
POWER, YOU CAN BE
DIFFERENT. YOU CAN OBEY.
00:15:56.79\00:16:00.09
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO
CHANGE SOCIETY BY TELLING THE
00:16:00.12\00:16:02.99
ALCOHOLIC, 'WELL,
NOBODY CAN REALLY OBEY.
00:16:03.02\00:16:06.83
WE'RE JUST GOING TO, YOU KNOW,
WE'LL SUBSIDIZE YOUR DRINKING.
00:16:06.86\00:16:10.23
WE DON'T EXPECT YOU TO CHANGE
AND GIVE IT UP AND STOP BEATING
00:16:10.27\00:16:12.53
YOUR WIFE AND LOSING YOUR JOBS.'
OR THE PERSON WHO'S ADDICTED TO
00:16:12.57\00:16:17.94
HEROIN OR CIGARETTES - I
DON'T KNOW WHICH IS HARDER.
00:16:17.97\00:16:21.48
WHAT GOOD ARE YOU GOING TO
DO IN THE WORLD IF WE DON'T TELL
00:16:21.51\00:16:24.18
SINNERS THAT THEY
CAN GET THE VICTORY?
00:16:24.21\00:16:27.32
CAN THEY - CAN PEOPLE
WHO DRINK GET THE VICTORY?
00:16:27.35\00:16:30.35
DO YOU ALL KNOW SOME THAT HAVE?
CAN PEOPLE WHO SMOKE AND USE
00:16:30.39\00:16:34.36
DRUGS AND YOU JUST NAME
YOUR FAVORITE SINFUL ADDICTION?
00:16:34.39\00:16:37.99
DO WE KNOW THAT
PEOPLE CAN CHANGE?
00:16:38.03\00:16:40.96
THAT'S WHAT THE WORLD
NEEDS IS TO HEAR YOU CAN OBEY.
00:16:41.00\00:16:44.03
YOU CAN GET THE VICTORY AND
IT BREAKS MY HEART WHEN I HEAR
00:16:44.07\00:16:46.23
PASTORS SAYING, 'WELL, NOBODY
CAN REALLY OBEY.' AND WE MAKE
00:16:46.27\00:16:50.57
ALL THESE EXCUSES FOR SIN. YES
YOU CAN. YOU CAN BE DIFFERENT.
00:16:50.61\00:16:54.74
YOU CAN LIVE A NEW KIND
OF LIFE. YOU CAN CHANGE.
00:16:54.78\00:16:57.15
IS IT A STRUGGLE?
YES. DOES IT TAKE TIME?
00:16:57.18\00:16:59.35
SOMETIMES
SANCTIFICATION - IT TAKES TIME.
00:16:59.38\00:17:02.15
BUT DON'T - DON'T
UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF GOD.
00:17:02.18\00:17:06.52
DON'T GIVE THE CREDIT TO
THE DEVIL FOR ALL - REMAINING
00:17:06.55\00:17:10.76
SLAVES. THEN
YOU'RE LIKE THOSE SPIES
00:17:10.79\00:17:13.33
THAT CAME BACK. THEY
WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE A
00:17:13.36\00:17:15.76
GLORIOUS REPORT OF THE PROMISED
LAND AND THEY CAME BACK AND THEY
00:17:15.80\00:17:18.70
SAID, 'OH, THE
GIANTS ARE TOO BIG.
00:17:18.73\00:17:21.94
THE WALLS ARE TOO
BIG. OBSTACLES TOO BIG.
00:17:21.97\00:17:25.44
WE CAN'T CONQUER
THE PROMISED LAND.
00:17:25.47\00:17:28.11
AND GOD SAID, 'IF YOU DON'T
THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE
00:17:28.14\00:17:30.15
IT TO THE PROMISED LAND
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IN THE
00:17:30.18\00:17:31.85
WILDERNESS. JOSHUA AND
CALEB SAID, 'WE ARE ABLE.
00:17:31.88\00:17:34.38
WE BELIEVE WITH GOD'S HELP WE
CAN CONQUER THEM.' AND I'M GLAD
00:17:34.42\00:17:38.25
DAVID DIDN'T HAVE THAT ATTITUDE,
'OH, GOLIATH'S TOO BIG.
00:17:38.29\00:17:40.89
I'M GOING HOME.' YEAH, YOU MIGHT
HAVE SOME SIN IN YOUR LIFE THAT
00:17:40.92\00:17:45.39
SEEMS LIKE A BIG, UGLY GIANT,
BUT THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD'S
00:17:45.43\00:17:50.13
WORD, YOU CAN OVERCOME.
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH
00:17:50.17\00:17:53.54
GOD, AMEN? HE THAT
HAS BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN
00:17:53.57\00:17:57.41
YOU WILL PERFORM IT
UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:17:57.44\00:18:00.14
IF YOU FALL, DON'T GIVE
UP. HE HAS BEGUN A WORK IN YOU.
00:18:00.18\00:18:03.51
HE'S THE AUTHOR AND
THE FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH.
00:18:03.55\00:18:05.61
YES YOU CAN BE AN OBEYER OF
GOD'S LAW. NOT A HEARER ONLY,
00:18:05.65\00:18:09.85
BUT A DOER. MATTER OF
FACT, THAT'S OUR NEXT VERSE.
00:18:09.88\00:18:14.79
ARE PEOPLE SAVED
BY KEEPING THE LAW?
00:18:14.82\00:18:19.03
YOU WON'T BE SAVED DELIBERATELY
BREAKING IT, BUT NO ONE IS SAVED
00:18:19.06\00:18:21.03
BY KEEPING IT.
WE'RE SAVED BY GRACE.
00:18:21.06\00:18:23.47
AND THAT'S EPHESIANS 2, VERSES
8 AND 9, "FOR BY GRACE YOU HAVE
00:18:23.50\00:18:26.40
BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH, AND
THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES; IT IS
00:18:26.43\00:18:29.00
THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS,
LEST ANYONE SHOULD BOAST."
00:18:29.04\00:18:33.34
AND I PROBABLY WOULD BE FIRST
IN LINE BOASTING IF I THOUGHT I
00:18:33.38\00:18:35.91
COULD SAVE MYSELF.
YOU'D BE SECOND IN LINE.
00:18:35.94\00:18:39.08
WE'D ALL FIND A WAY TO
TAKE CREDIT FOR IT, RIGHT?
00:18:39.11\00:18:42.05
BUT IT'S ONLY BY GOD'S GRACE
THAT ANY OF US ARE SAVED BECAUSE
00:18:42.08\00:18:45.12
IF GOD'S GOING TO GIVE US WHAT
WE DESERVE, WHAT'S THE PENALTY
00:18:45.15\00:18:48.39
FOR SIN? YOU WOULDN'T
EVEN SURVIVE YOUR PROBATION.
00:18:48.42\00:18:52.83
AS SOON AS YOU SINNED, YOU'D
DIE. IT'S BECAUSE IT'S A GIFT.
00:18:52.86\00:18:57.03
NOW, SOME ARE SAYING TODAY THAT,
WELL, BECAUSE WE'RE SAVED BY
00:18:57.07\00:19:00.07
GRACE, GOD'S GRACE
NULLIFIES OR ABOLISHES THE LAW.
00:19:00.10\00:19:05.17
DOES THE GRACE OF
GOD ABOLISH THE LAW?
00:19:05.21\00:19:09.38
ROMANS 6 - LET'S HEAR
WHAT PAUL SAYS ABOUT THAT.
00:19:09.41\00:19:11.61
I'M JUST GOING TO READ PAUL
BECAUSE PAUL IS THE ONE THEY
00:19:11.65\00:19:13.62
ALWAYS QUOTE TO TRY AND SAY
THAT. ROMANS 6:15, "WHAT THEN?
00:19:13.65\00:19:17.72
SHALL WE SIN BECAUSE WE ARE
NOT UNDER LAW BUT UNDER GRACE?
00:19:17.75\00:19:20.56
GOD FORBID!" MATTER
OF FACT, I'M GOING TO
00:19:20.59\00:19:24.26
PAUSE HERE FOR JUST A SECOND
BEFORE I READ MY NEXT VERSE.
00:19:24.29\00:19:26.93
'UNDER THE LAW' - ARE
WE CURRENTLY UNDER THE LAW?
00:19:26.96\00:19:31.53
IT DEPENDS ON
WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT.
00:19:31.57\00:19:34.07
WHEN PAUL TALKS ABOUT BEING
UNDER THE LAW, HE'S TALKING
00:19:34.10\00:19:36.50
ABOUT BEING UNDER THE
CURSE OR THE PENALTY OF THE LAW.
00:19:36.54\00:19:39.64
WHEN YOU BREAK A LAW, ANY GOOD
LAW'S GOT A PENALTY. YOU FIND
00:19:39.67\00:19:43.55
LAWS IN OUR CULTURE THAT EXIST
AND THERE'S NO CONSEQUENCE,
00:19:43.58\00:19:47.55
THERE'S A LAW THAT'S BEING
BROKEN. RIGHT? MATTER OF FACT,
00:19:47.58\00:19:51.99
MOST LAWS EXIST TODAY
BECAUSE SOMEBODY BROKE THE LAW.
00:19:52.02\00:19:57.23
DO YOU KNOW WE HAVE MORE LAWS
NOW, IN OUR CULTURE, THAN ANY
00:19:57.26\00:19:59.89
OTHER TIME IN HISTORY? HAS
IT MADE US A MORE LAWFUL PEOPLE?
00:19:59.93\00:20:05.37
SO, PAUL IS ASKING,
'DOES GRACE ABOLISH THE LAW?'
00:20:05.40\00:20:10.27
HE SAID, 'GOD FORBID.' ROMANS
3:31, "DO WE THEN MAKE VOID THE
00:20:10.31\00:20:15.71
LAW THROUGH FAITH? GOD FORBID:
YEA, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW."
00:20:15.74\00:20:19.58
WHEN PEOPLE SAY, 'I'VE GOT
FAITH, I DON'T NEED THE LAW.'
00:20:19.61\00:20:21.38
WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?
IF YOU'VE GOT REAL FAITH,
00:20:21.42\00:20:23.72
YOU KEEP THE LAW. AND
AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
00:20:23.75\00:20:27.49
THOSE TWO, HOW ABOUT ROMANS 2:13
- THIS IS PAUL - NOTICE THIS IS
00:20:27.52\00:20:31.73
PAUL - CAN'T BE ANY
MORE CLEAR THAN THAT.
00:20:31.76\00:20:33.60
"FOR THE HEARERS OF THE LAW ARE
JUST IN THE SIGHT OF GOD," - NO,
00:20:33.63\00:20:38.43
NO, I SAID THAT WRONG - "FOR NOT
THE HEARERS OF THE LAW ARE JUST
00:20:38.47\00:20:42.67
IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, BUT
THE DOERS OF THE LAW WILL BE
00:20:42.70\00:20:46.07
JUSTIFIED." WHAT? THE DOERS
OF THE LAW WILL BE JUSTIFIED?
00:20:46.11\00:20:50.38
I THOUGHT WE WERE
JUST THROUGH FAITH.
00:20:50.41\00:20:51.48
YES, AND IF YOU ARE JUST
THROUGH FAITH, YOU WILL BE DOING
00:20:51.51\00:20:54.02
THE LAW. SEE HOW THAT WORKS?
NOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE THE MOTIVE
00:20:54.05\00:20:58.79
FOR OBEYING GOD'S
LAW? LOVE IS THE MOTIVE.
00:20:58.82\00:21:04.73
ROMANS 13:10, "THEREFORE LOVE
IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW."
00:21:04.76\00:21:10.83
WHEN WE LOVE GOD,
WE'LL WANT TO OBEY.
00:21:10.87\00:21:13.80
WE'LL LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR.
WE'LL NATURALLY KEEP THESE LAWS.
00:21:13.84\00:21:16.77
MATTHEW 22, VERSE 37, JESUS
SAID, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD
00:21:16.81\00:21:21.04
YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH
00:21:21.08\00:21:23.31
ALL YOUR MIND.' THIS IS THE
FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT.
00:21:23.35\00:21:26.38
AND THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT:
'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
00:21:26.41\00:21:28.92
AS YOURSELF.' ON
THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG
00:21:28.95\00:21:32.55
ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS."
00:21:32.59\00:21:35.19
AND I HEARD OF A PREACHER ONE
DAY, HE QUOTED THAT VERSE - HE
00:21:35.22\00:21:37.69
SAID, 'SEE, THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS HAVE BEEN HUNG.
00:21:37.73\00:21:40.96
THEY'RE HUNG AND ALL YOU'VE GOT
TO DO NOW - IT'S LIKE THEY'VE
00:21:40.96\00:21:43.40
BEEN STRANGLED - ALL YOU'VE
GOT TO DO NOW IS KEEP THOSE TWO
00:21:43.43\00:21:46.40
COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE.' OH WHEN
IT SAYS - JESUS SAID, 'ON THESE
00:21:46.43\00:21:50.27
TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG' - IT
MEANS ALL THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:21:50.31\00:21:54.58
ARE SUMMARIZED - THEY'RE
SUPPORTED BY LOVING THE LORD AND
00:21:54.61\00:21:57.85
LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR.
MATTER OF FACT, YOU COULD
00:21:57.88\00:21:59.38
SUMMARIZE THOSE TWO IN
ONE PHRASE, 'GOD IS LOVE'.
00:21:59.41\00:22:03.22
1 JOHN 2, VERSES 3 AND 4, "AND
HEREBY WE DO KNOW" - NOW THIS
00:22:03.25\00:22:06.45
ONE IS A SLAM-DUNK. THIS
PUTS TO SILENCE ALL OF THE
00:22:06.49\00:22:09.62
HYPOCRITES OUT THERE - "AND
HEREBY WE DO KNOW THAT WE KNOW
00:22:09.66\00:22:12.36
HIM, IF WE KEEP
HIS COMMANDMENTS.
00:22:12.39\00:22:14.60
HE THAT SAITH, I KNOW HIM, AND
KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS, IS
00:22:14.63\00:22:17.40
A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT
IN HIM." THAT'S NEW TESTAMENT.
00:22:17.43\00:22:21.47
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID,
'NOT EVERYONE THAT SAYS UNTO ME,
00:22:21.50\00:22:23.67
'LORD, LORD' IS GOING TO ENTER
THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT THEY
00:22:23.71\00:22:26.71
THAT DO THE WILL OF
MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.'
00:22:26.74\00:22:30.18
WHAT IS THE WILL OF GOD?
00:22:30.21\00:22:32.21
PSALM 40 TELLS US,
'I LOVE TO DO YOUR WILL.
00:22:32.25\00:22:36.58
YOUR LAW IS WITHIN MY HEART.'
THE LAW OF GOD IS A PERFECT
00:22:36.62\00:22:42.32
EXPRESSION OF HIS CHARACTER AND
HIS WILL AND JESUS WILL DECLARE
00:22:42.36\00:22:46.80
TO EVERYONE ELSE, 'I DON'T KNOW
YOU.' SO IF SOMEONE SAYS, 'I
00:22:46.83\00:22:50.17
LOVE THE LORD. I'M FOLLOWING
THE LORD. I KNOW THE LORD.
00:22:50.20\00:22:53.17
NO, I DON'T KEEP THE LAW BECAUSE
I'M UNDER GRACE.' JOHN SAYS,
00:22:53.20\00:22:55.94
'YOU'RE A LIAR.' YOU SAY,
'LORD, LORD, I LOVE YOU LORD.'
00:22:55.97\00:23:00.71
CHRIST'LL DECLARE TO
THOSE PEOPLE, 'DEPART FROM ME YE
00:23:00.74\00:23:03.35
WORKERS OF INIQUITY.' AND
THAT WORD IS 'LAWLESSNESS'.
00:23:03.38\00:23:07.95
PEOPLE WITHOUT LAW. SO IF -
IT DOES MATTER, FRIENDS. THIS IS
00:23:07.98\00:23:11.52
IMPORTANT BASIC FOUNDATIONAL
CHRISTIAN TEACHING. WHAT ARE THE
00:23:11.55\00:23:16.12
REWARDS FOR KEEPING GOD'S
LAW? THIS IS THE GOOD PART.
00:23:16.16\00:23:21.50
JOHN 15:11, "THESE THINGS I
HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU, THAT...
00:23:21.53\00:23:25.87
YOUR JOY MIGHT BE FULL."
HE WANTS US TO HAVE JOY AND IT
00:23:25.90\00:23:30.01
COMES IN OBEYING GOD.
PROVERBS 29:18, "BUT HE THAT
00:23:30.04\00:23:34.24
KEEPETH THE LAW, HAPPY
IS HE." DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
00:23:34.28\00:23:39.61
JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU KNOW THESE
THINGS, HAPPY ARE YE IF YOU DO
00:23:39.65\00:23:42.32
THEM.' HE WANTS US TO
HAVE JOY AND HAPPINESS.
00:23:42.35\00:23:45.89
NOT ONLY JOY AND HAPPINESS,
HE WANTS US TO HAVE PEACE.
00:23:45.92\00:23:48.56
PSALM 119:165, "GREAT PEACE
HAVE THEY WHICH LOVE THY LAW:
00:23:48.59\00:23:55.26
AND NOTHING SHALL OFFEND THEM."
I NOT ONLY WANT PEACE, I WANT
00:23:55.30\00:23:57.37
GREAT PEACE, DON'T YOU?
WHEN WE SUBMIT OUR LIVES INTO
00:23:57.40\00:24:01.24
GOD'S HANDS AND ARE SAYING,
'LORD, WE'RE WILLING TO BE DOERS
00:24:01.27\00:24:04.44
OF YOUR WORD' -
YOU'LL HAVE A GREAT PEACE.
00:24:04.47\00:24:07.38
AND, BY THE WAY, IF YOU KNOW
THERE'S SOME AREA IN YOUR LIFE
00:24:07.41\00:24:12.41
WHERE YOU ARE DIVERGING FROM THE
WILL OF GOD AND THE LAW OF GOD,
00:24:12.45\00:24:15.95
YOU SHOULD BE TROUBLED.
00:24:15.98\00:24:18.09
DON'T GET COMFORTABLE IN
DISOBEDIENCE, THAT'S DANGEROUS.
00:24:18.12\00:24:21.89
THAT'S WHERE YOU GET TO WHERE
YOU SEAR YOUR CONSCIENCE AND,
00:24:21.92\00:24:24.56
ULTIMATELY, YOU CAN COME TO
THE PLACE WHERE YOU COMMIT THE
00:24:24.59\00:24:26.63
UNPARDONABLE SIN BECAUSE YOU
DON'T HEAR GOD'S VOICE ANYMORE.
00:24:26.66\00:24:30.00
IF YOU CAN CONVINCE YOURSELF
THAT IT'S OKAY TO LIVE IN
00:24:30.03\00:24:33.27
DISOBEDIENCE TO THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS KNOWINGLY AND THAT
00:24:33.30\00:24:37.21
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO SOMEHOW BE
OKAY, THAT IS A DEADLY PLACE TO
00:24:37.24\00:24:40.68
BE IN. THAT'S LIKE
LEPROSY - SPIRITUAL LEPROSY.
00:24:40.71\00:24:45.95
BUT THERE'S GREAT PEACE.
00:24:45.98\00:24:47.05
ISAIAH 48:18, "OH, THAT
YOU HAD HEEDED MY COMMANDMENTS!
00:24:47.08\00:24:51.39
THEN YOUR PEACE WOULD
HAVE BEEN LIKE A RIVER."
00:24:51.42\00:24:53.66
YOU KNOW THAT SONG WE SING,
'I'VE GOT PEACE LIKE A RIVER'?
00:24:53.69\00:24:56.29
IT'S BASED ON THIS
VERSE. WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
00:24:56.32\00:24:58.56
'O THAT WE HAD
HEEDED HIS COMMANDMENTS!
00:24:58.59\00:25:00.86
THEN - THEN YOU WOULD
HAVE PEACE LIKE A RIVER'.
00:25:00.90\00:25:03.20
DO YOU WANT PEACE AND JOY
AND BLESSEDNESS AND HAPPINESS?
00:25:03.23\00:25:07.00
IT COMES FROM OBEDIENCE. IF
YOU'RE OBEYING GOD IT'S LIKE
00:25:07.04\00:25:11.04
SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO
SAID, 'WE MIGHT GO TO A FIERY
00:25:11.07\00:25:14.34
FURNACE, BUT WE
KNOW WE'RE OBEYING GOD.
00:25:14.38\00:25:16.41
WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.' JESUS
SAID, 'DON'T FEAR HIM WHO CAN
00:25:16.44\00:25:20.25
DESTROY YOUR BODY BUT
HE CAN'T TOUCH YOUR SOUL.
00:25:20.28\00:25:22.68
RATHER FEAR HIM WHO CAN
DESTROY SOUL AND BODY IN HELL.
00:25:22.72\00:25:26.32
WHEN WE ARE HEARERS AND DOERS
OF GOD'S LAW, WE HAVE LIBERTY.
00:25:26.35\00:25:31.39
THE BIBLE TALKS
ABOUT LIBERTY IN CHRIST.
00:25:31.43\00:25:33.09
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE WANTED
TO ABUSE WHAT THAT LIBERTY
00:25:33.13\00:25:35.20
REALLY LOOKS LIKE. WHAT
THEY WANT IS LIBERTY TO SIN.
00:25:35.23\00:25:39.43
LIBERTY IN CHRIST IS A LIBERTY
THAT COMES FROM SURRENDERING AND
00:25:39.47\00:25:42.84
BEING WILLING TO OBEY. YOU
HAVE GREAT FREEDOM IN THE LORD.
00:25:42.87\00:25:47.81
PSALM 119:44-45, "SO SHALL
I KEEP YOUR LAW CONTINUALLY,
00:25:47.84\00:25:52.75
FOREVER AND EVER.
00:25:52.78\00:25:53.82
AND I WILL WALK AT LIBERTY,
FOR I SEEK YOUR PRECEPTS."
00:25:53.85\00:25:59.02
DO YOU WANT TO
HAVE THAT FREEDOM?
00:25:59.05\00:26:00.76
DO YOU WANT TO
HAVE THAT LIBERTY?
00:26:00.79\00:26:02.62
IF YOU LOOK IN JAMES 1, VERSE
22, "BUT BE DOERS OF THE WORD,
00:26:02.66\00:26:09.46
AND NOT HEARERS
ONLY, DECEIVING YOURSELVES.
00:26:09.50\00:26:12.30
FOR IF ANYONE IS A HEARER OF THE
WORD AND NOT A DOER, HE IS LIKE
00:26:12.33\00:26:15.84
A MAN OBSERVING HIS NATURAL FACE
IN A MIRROR; FOR HE OBSERVES
00:26:15.87\00:26:19.37
HIMSELF, GOES AWAY,
AND IMMEDIATELY FORGETS
00:26:19.41\00:26:22.58
WHAT KIND OF MAN HE WAS.
00:26:22.61\00:26:24.55
BUT HE WHO LOOKS INTO THE
PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY AND
00:26:24.58\00:26:28.62
CONTINUES IN IT, AND IS NOT A
FORGETFUL HEARER BUT A DOER OF
00:26:28.65\00:26:33.29
THE WORK, THIS ONE
WILL BE BLESSED..." BLESSED.
00:26:33.32\00:26:37.43
WE'RE REALLY DEALING
WITH A BOTTOM-LINE ISSUE HERE.
00:26:37.46\00:26:41.13
THE WISEST MAN WHO EVER
LIVED, HE SAID, LET US HEAR THE
00:26:41.16\00:26:44.47
CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER -
ECCLESIASTES, CHAPTER 12, 'FEAR
00:26:44.50\00:26:48.17
GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS,
FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF
00:26:48.20\00:26:51.61
MAN. FOR GOD
WILL BRING EVERY THING
00:26:51.64\00:26:54.31
INTO JUDGMENT
WITH EVERY SECRET WORK.
00:26:54.34\00:26:56.21
WHETHER IT BE GOOD OR EVIL.' AND
I HOPE YOU'LL PRAY THAT WE WILL
00:26:56.24\00:26:59.35
BE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THAT
PEACE, THAT JOY, THAT LIBERTY IN
00:26:59.38\00:27:02.65
CHRIST, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT JUST
GOING TO BE HEARERS OF THE WORD,
00:27:02.68\00:27:06.92
WE'RE GOING TO BE DOERS ALSO.

I'VE LISTENED TO A LOT OF

00:28:08.52\00:28:10.95
WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT HE'S
ACTUALLY SAYING SOMETHING WHERE
00:28:10.99\00:28:13.82
I HAD TO GRAB MY BIBLE AND
ACTUALLY PICK IT UP AND I'VE
00:28:13.86\00:28:17.89

THE LORD WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT
AND - AND I ACTUALLY SAW HIM AS
00:28:32.54\00:28:35.84
A FATHER. >>I LOST
EVERYTHING AND THAT WAS
00:28:35.88\00:28:39.11
