Hello, and welcome to
Behold the Lamb presents.
00:00:41.70\00:00:44.44
I'm Christ Shelton your
host and I would like to welcome
00:00:44.47\00:00:47.46
and invite you to another
wonderful study of God's Word.
00:00:47.49\00:00:51.90
Today we'll be
concluding the second
00:00:51.93\00:00:53.86
and final part of
Deciphering God's Code.
00:00:53.89\00:00:57.39
For those of us
who are Bible students
00:00:57.42\00:00:59.62
we place confidence and we say
00:00:59.65\00:01:02.51
we place our full
faith in the Word of God.
00:01:02.54\00:01:05.12
Yet, many of us somehow fail
to agree on important subjects
00:01:05.15\00:01:09.74
such as the Ten Commandments,
00:01:09.77\00:01:11.50
the very true
script of God's character
00:01:11.53\00:01:14.48
and certainly with
nominal understanding
00:01:14.51\00:01:17.27
of the great controversy
between good and evil
00:01:17.30\00:01:20.83
of which we are
most certainly a part of.
00:01:20.86\00:01:23.94
It is only
reasonable to ascertain
00:01:23.97\00:01:27.68
or come to the knowledge
00:01:27.71\00:01:28.97
that it is exactly
part of the enemies plan
00:01:29.00\00:01:32.31
by diverting our minds
away from the vital importance
00:01:32.34\00:01:35.97
of fully
deciphering and living out
00:01:36.00\00:01:38.88
all the principles of God's holy
00:01:38.91\00:01:41.38
and just Ten Commandment law.
00:01:41.41\00:01:43.85
Satan keeps us
from fully reflecting
00:01:43.88\00:01:47.30
the character of our Creator.
00:01:47.33\00:01:49.30
He stifles us from
being fully prepared
00:01:49.33\00:01:51.88
to live in the kingdom of heaven
00:01:51.91\00:01:53.99
and if that is your goal
00:01:54.02\00:01:55.93
to make it to
the kingdom of heaven
00:01:55.96\00:01:58.49
then we need to rightly
decide for God's code of law
00:01:58.52\00:02:02.42
and it should be paramount
00:02:02.45\00:02:04.18
in our study,
in our lives today.
00:02:04.21\00:02:06.80
So get out to
your source of truth,
00:02:06.83\00:02:08.58
you're Bible
and let's begin this
00:02:08.61\00:02:10.27
all important study
with Pastor Kenny Shelton
00:02:10.30\00:02:13.47
and again it is
entitled Deciphering God's Code.
00:02:13.50\00:02:17.44
That is always we're first
00:02:17.47\00:02:19.17
we're gonna be
blessed to listen to a song
00:02:19.20\00:02:21.76
that is very
familiar to most of us.
00:02:21.79\00:02:23.67
It's entitled "Amazing Grace"
as sung by Lyndon Carriger
00:02:23.70\00:02:27.93
from the 3ABN Worship Center.
00:02:27.96\00:02:30.57
Amazing Grace
00:02:34.26\00:02:38.93
How sweet the sound
00:02:38.96\00:02:44.62
That saved a wretch
00:02:44.65\00:02:49.98
like me
00:02:50.01\00:02:55.83
I once was lost
00:02:55.86\00:03:01.48
but now am found
00:03:01.51\00:03:06.93
Was blind
00:03:06.96\00:03:09.48
but now I see
00:03:09.51\00:03:14.48
T'was Grace that taught
00:03:17.57\00:03:23.39
My heart to fear
00:03:23.42\00:03:28.98
And Grace,
00:03:29.01\00:03:31.49
My fears relieved
00:03:31.52\00:03:39.12
How precious did
00:03:39.15\00:03:44.60
That Grace appear
00:03:44.63\00:03:49.99
The hour
00:03:50.02\00:03:52.15
I first believed
00:03:52.18\00:03:59.78
Through many dangers
00:03:59.81\00:04:05.89
Toils and snares
00:04:05.92\00:04:10.16
I have already come
00:04:10.19\00:04:17.27
'Tis Grace hath
00:04:20.10\00:04:23.55
Brought me safe thus far
00:04:23.58\00:04:30.31
And Grace
00:04:30.34\00:04:32.53
Will lead me home
00:04:32.56\00:04:37.53
When we've been there
00:04:39.99\00:04:44.83
Ten thousand years
00:04:44.86\00:04:49.47
Bright shining
00:04:49.50\00:04:52.79
As the sun
00:04:52.82\00:04:59.28
We've no less days
00:04:59.31\00:05:03.92
To sing God's praise
00:05:03.95\00:05:09.61
Than when we first begun
00:05:09.64\00:05:17.61
Thanks for
joining us here once again
00:05:24.43\00:05:25.96
at Behold the Lamb ministry.
00:05:25.99\00:05:27.51
It's already been mentioned
this is the second part
00:05:27.54\00:05:30.45
of the two part series
of Deciphering God's Code.
00:05:30.48\00:05:33.80
You know what is this all about?
00:05:33.83\00:05:35.78
Very simply, we're
going to be tracing
00:05:35.81\00:05:38.25
and we're going to be
looking all the way back
00:05:38.28\00:05:39.98
form the very
beginning in Genesis
00:05:40.01\00:05:41.68
to the end of the New Testament
00:05:41.71\00:05:44.03
to find out if God
has had a moral code
00:05:44.06\00:05:47.30
to direct His
people and this world.
00:05:47.33\00:05:49.89
Does He have a right?
00:05:49.92\00:05:51.81
Well, I think you're
gonna figure that out
00:05:51.84\00:05:53.26
as we make this wonderful,
00:05:53.29\00:05:54.80
wonderful study
in the Word of God.
00:05:54.83\00:05:56.62
You won't want to miss it.
00:05:56.65\00:05:57.68
Get a paper and pencil
and jot something's down.
00:05:57.71\00:06:00.49
We found we just
have a little bit of time
00:06:00.52\00:06:02.26
I know it seem
maybe long for some of you
00:06:02.29\00:06:03.99
but just goes by so quickly.
00:06:04.02\00:06:05.73
And lot of information
to cover and many times
00:06:05.76\00:06:07.92
we just can't
get it all covered.
00:06:07.95\00:06:10.02
But what we do jot it
down and study for yourself.
00:06:10.05\00:06:13.40
I might mention
before we have prayer
00:06:13.43\00:06:15.47
that we certainly
enjoy your phone calls
00:06:15.50\00:06:17.85
and your letters and you know
00:06:17.88\00:06:19.17
many people are
ordering these series
00:06:19.20\00:06:22.24
and if for
chance that maybe you've
00:06:22.27\00:06:24.40
don't get your
series that you've ordered,
00:06:24.43\00:06:27.06
don't hesitate to call
back say "I haven't got it yet."
00:06:27.09\00:06:29.77
We want to make
sure you're happy,
00:06:29.80\00:06:31.25
we want to make sure you
can spread the Word of God.
00:06:31.28\00:06:33.98
This is an opportunity
for you God's people.
00:06:34.01\00:06:37.02
You say well I can't
give a study and I can't.
00:06:37.05\00:06:39.00
Listen, you can
take these DVDs and CDs
00:06:39.03\00:06:41.44
and you can share
them with your neighbor,
00:06:41.47\00:06:43.12
what an opportunity.
00:06:43.15\00:06:44.78
Before study God's
Word, open beautiful pages
00:06:44.81\00:06:48.84
and the
information that is left.
00:06:48.87\00:06:50.37
We're gonna pray and
I'm getting very grateful
00:06:50.40\00:06:52.33
and thankful for those of you
who prayed right along with us.
00:06:52.36\00:06:54.66
So why don't we
do that right now?
00:06:54.69\00:06:56.15
I'm going to kneel up here.
00:06:56.18\00:06:57.21
We're gonna ask once
again for God's blessing
00:06:57.24\00:06:59.94
because we need God's blessing,
don't we, lets pray together.
00:06:59.97\00:07:05.10
Loving Father in heaven,
00:07:05.13\00:07:06.16
we thank You for
the privilege of prayer.
00:07:06.19\00:07:07.77
Now we invite the Holy Spirit.
00:07:07.80\00:07:09.93
Please come and take possession
00:07:09.96\00:07:11.23
of our very hearts
our minds our soul.
00:07:11.26\00:07:14.00
Lord, we pray that
You'll open the ears the hearts
00:07:14.03\00:07:16.98
of Your people
who hear this message.
00:07:17.01\00:07:19.55
Pray that my heart,
my mind will be open that
00:07:19.58\00:07:21.47
I may hear Your voice
and may respond to it.
00:07:21.50\00:07:24.70
We pray that You'll
cover me with your blood
00:07:24.73\00:07:26.41
I ask for
forgiveness of anything
00:07:26.44\00:07:27.88
in my heart and life
and these not be there.
00:07:27.91\00:07:30.18
We're gonna thank You in advance
00:07:30.21\00:07:31.24
for what you're going
to do in Jesus name we pray
00:07:31.27\00:07:33.69
and for His sake, Amen.
00:07:33.72\00:07:38.01
You know isn't that
wonderful to be a child of God?
00:07:38.04\00:07:40.64
Isn't it wonderful to know that
00:07:40.67\00:07:41.70
we can go to the
blessed pages of Scripture
00:07:41.73\00:07:44.71
and we can find
exactly God's will for us?
00:07:44.74\00:07:48.71
What are my favorite passages
at least food for thought
00:07:48.74\00:07:52.52
is found in the
Book of John 7:17.
00:07:52.55\00:07:56.06
And I'm just gonna just
say a quote a few words of it.
00:07:56.09\00:07:59.41
Jesus is speaking
and when Jesus speaks
00:07:59.44\00:08:01.73
you know we need to
really listen, don't we.
00:08:01.76\00:08:04.22
Jesus simply asks a question
00:08:04.25\00:08:06.07
"He said if any man is
willing to do the will of God."
00:08:06.10\00:08:09.85
Is there anybody that
willing to do the will of God?
00:08:09.88\00:08:13.60
Are you willing to do that?
00:08:13.63\00:08:15.03
Are you willing to submit
to power of the Holy Spirit?
00:08:15.06\00:08:18.48
And then He said--
another translation says
00:08:18.51\00:08:20.68
"If any man will do his will."
00:08:20.71\00:08:24.36
So here's what we're gonna study
00:08:24.39\00:08:26.99
is there any one who is
willing to do the will of God?
00:08:27.02\00:08:31.87
And so as we study the
Scripture Isaiah 1:19 says
00:08:31.90\00:08:36.31
if you're willing to
be obedient now remember
00:08:36.34\00:08:39.50
"If ye be willing and obedient
00:08:39.53\00:08:41.51
ye shall eat of
the good of the land."
00:08:41.54\00:08:44.24
First of all you had to what?
00:08:44.27\00:08:45.70
Willing and then we must be
obedient to the will of God.
00:08:45.73\00:08:50.92
Another passage is
very, very I think prominent
00:08:50.95\00:08:52.96
that we need to re-look
at is 2 Thessalonians 2:13.
00:08:52.99\00:08:57.75
It says "God hath
from the beginning"
00:08:57.78\00:09:00.13
notice this
"chosen you to salvation."
00:09:00.16\00:09:03.65
From the very beginning
00:09:03.68\00:09:04.71
God has "chosen
you for salvation
00:09:04.74\00:09:06.84
and through sanctification
00:09:06.87\00:09:08.56
of the Spirit and in the truth."
00:09:08.59\00:09:11.57
So we're studying we want
to get behind of what is truth.
00:09:11.60\00:09:15.78
What is-- does God have a code
00:09:15.81\00:09:17.62
does He laws rules
and does He have a right.
00:09:17.65\00:09:22.38
You know He
never forces the will
00:09:22.41\00:09:25.47
that's why we
have to be willing.
00:09:25.50\00:09:27.01
Kind of interesting
maybe just little question
00:09:27.04\00:09:29.41
food for thought with you here.
00:09:29.44\00:09:31.84
You know, is it the divine will
00:09:31.87\00:09:35.02
that needs to be
changed or the human will?
00:09:35.05\00:09:38.69
What needs to be
changed the divine or the human?
00:09:38.72\00:09:41.38
Why because we study the Word
and we find out God has said
00:09:41.41\00:09:44.56
this is what He
wants from mankind.
00:09:44.59\00:09:47.36
And we don't
sometime we don't like it.
00:09:47.39\00:09:49.55
And so we try to
change God's mind.
00:09:49.58\00:09:52.43
We try to set our own plans.
00:09:52.46\00:09:54.66
But really if we
really read the Word of God
00:09:54.69\00:09:56.67
you know who what
needs to be changed here
00:09:56.70\00:09:59.58
divine or the human?
00:09:59.61\00:10:02.26
And may I put it
this way a God's code--
00:10:02.29\00:10:04.60
does His code need to be changed
00:10:04.63\00:10:06.16
and may be put
in His place human.
00:10:06.19\00:10:08.54
Many people are trying
it today without certainly
00:10:08.57\00:10:10.86
without success
and blessings from God.
00:10:10.89\00:10:14.04
Another question made
food for thought right here.
00:10:14.07\00:10:17.74
I have noticed you
know traveling about
00:10:17.77\00:10:20.12
and this make sound a
little bit strange to you
00:10:20.15\00:10:22.17
but I have noticed a
lot on some buildings,
00:10:22.20\00:10:24.09
I have a noticed a
lot of weathervanes.
00:10:24.12\00:10:26.69
A lot of weathervanes
00:10:26.72\00:10:27.75
and there are some good looking
weathervanes but notice this
00:10:27.78\00:10:30.69
does the
weathervane change the wind.
00:10:30.72\00:10:35.09
Does the
weathervane change the wind
00:10:35.12\00:10:37.30
or does the wind
change the weathervane?
00:10:37.33\00:10:42.07
Get that food for thought.
00:10:42.10\00:10:45.67
Does God allow us to
have a real freewill?
00:10:45.70\00:10:51.34
This all has to
do with God's code.
00:10:51.37\00:10:52.62
Does He really
allows to have a freewill?
00:10:52.65\00:10:55.55
Now let me ask
you another question.
00:10:55.58\00:10:56.91
There's a lot of question today.
00:10:56.94\00:10:58.30
What part of the ship?
00:10:58.33\00:10:59.77
Let's say a ship that's
sailing along in the ocean,
00:10:59.80\00:11:02.18
what part of the
ship that is would say
00:11:02.21\00:11:05.22
that's most
important part of the ship
00:11:05.25\00:11:07.47
that has to do with navigation?
00:11:07.50\00:11:10.17
Lot of people may come
up with different answers
00:11:10.20\00:11:12.30
but you know we're talking about
00:11:12.33\00:11:13.62
navigation here
so what part of it.
00:11:13.65\00:11:15.95
It's the needle of the compass,
the needle of the compass.
00:11:15.98\00:11:20.64
Then remember the
needle of the compass
00:11:20.67\00:11:22.29
needs to be free to navigate
with a magnetic current.
00:11:22.32\00:11:28.91
What is something in the ship?
There is lot of steel in there.
00:11:28.94\00:11:32.11
What if that needle
00:11:32.14\00:11:33.57
you see was affected
by the steel in the ship.
00:11:33.60\00:11:36.45
It would have all
kind of different readings
00:11:36.48\00:11:38.20
we would get off course
00:11:38.23\00:11:40.82
and then we'll find
ourselves in a lot of trouble.
00:11:40.85\00:11:44.60
I'm thankful that God
gives us that freewill
00:11:44.63\00:11:47.53
that free choice
that we can decide.
00:11:47.56\00:11:49.89
Remember, He wants us
decide on the information
00:11:49.92\00:11:52.04
given from the Word of God.
00:11:52.07\00:11:54.28
If that little needle you know
navigation gets out of focus
00:11:54.31\00:11:57.47
we're gonna shipwreck aren't we.
00:11:57.50\00:11:59.90
Remember the needle
is not to run the ship.
00:11:59.93\00:12:05.13
The needle is
not to run the ship
00:12:05.16\00:12:07.28
but to be
submissive to the pole.
00:12:07.31\00:12:10.12
Please keep that
in mind spiritually.
00:12:10.15\00:12:12.25
We're just simply to just
submit to do the will of God.
00:12:12.28\00:12:16.99
And so today it may
take some submitting
00:12:17.02\00:12:19.01
when we
decipher the code of God.
00:12:19.04\00:12:21.71
We have to
submit our will to His.
00:12:21.74\00:12:24.89
In Part 1, we talked
about the question was asked
00:12:24.92\00:12:27.88
does God have a right?
00:12:27.91\00:12:30.74
Does He have a
right to set up laws?
00:12:30.77\00:12:32.76
Does He have a
right to set up rules
00:12:32.79\00:12:34.80
or codes to govern His plan?
00:12:34.83\00:12:38.48
The Bible gives us many reasons
why God does have this right.
00:12:38.51\00:12:42.18
And we read a few and I'll
just read it just for reminder.
00:12:42.21\00:12:45.81
The Bible said in
Isaiah 9:6 it says
00:12:45.84\00:12:48.98
"The government shall
be upon His shoulders."
00:12:49.01\00:12:51.84
Talking about Jesus does He
really have a right to do it?
00:12:51.87\00:12:55.28
People say "I don't want rules,
I don't want regulations."
00:12:55.31\00:12:58.23
But how
interesting in this world
00:12:58.26\00:12:59.59
that we live in its full of laws
00:12:59.62\00:13:02.15
and rules and regulations.
00:13:02.18\00:13:04.91
And many times we
say "Well that's okay
00:13:04.94\00:13:06.75
but when it comes
to God's moral code
00:13:06.78\00:13:09.58
or His Ten Commandment
law we have some problems.
00:13:09.61\00:13:12.80
Why?
00:13:12.83\00:13:14.46
Jeremiah Chapter 10
the Bible just reaffirms
00:13:14.49\00:13:17.64
what we've been
talking about verse 12 it says
00:13:17.67\00:13:20.25
"He hath made the
earth by his power."
00:13:20.28\00:13:22.73
So we're establishing right
that God does have a right.
00:13:22.76\00:13:26.19
He is establishing notice
this "the earth by His power,
00:13:26.22\00:13:29.74
He established the
world by His wisdom
00:13:29.77\00:13:32.52
and has stretched out the
heavens by His discretion."
00:13:32.55\00:13:37.71
Little book I like to
read in Testimonies series 80,
00:13:37.74\00:13:41.51
page 263 says this.
00:13:41.54\00:13:44.00
"Mighty power that
works through all nature
00:13:44.03\00:13:47.37
and sustains all things is not,
00:13:47.40\00:13:50.21
as many men of
science represent,
00:13:50.24\00:13:53.48
merely an all-pervading
principle an actuating energy."
00:13:53.51\00:13:58.13
Or puts things
God's more of then
00:13:58.16\00:13:59.67
just putting things into motion
and letting them just run.
00:13:59.70\00:14:03.61
The Bible says this
article says "God is a spirit,
00:14:03.64\00:14:07.89
yet He is a personal being,
for man was made in His image."
00:14:07.92\00:14:13.84
Does God really cares this
why we're looking at the code,
00:14:13.87\00:14:16.87
we're looking at what
God has done to protect us
00:14:16.90\00:14:19.17
and to take care of us.
00:14:19.20\00:14:20.29
Is it for our own good?
00:14:20.32\00:14:24.25
My dad said many
times he said "son,
00:14:24.28\00:14:25.94
I'm telling just
for your own good."
00:14:25.97\00:14:29.05
And I didn't want to hear
it right then in there, why?
00:14:29.08\00:14:31.18
Because I want to
do something different
00:14:31.21\00:14:33.24
and maybe the
world today we want to do
00:14:33.27\00:14:34.95
what we want to do
when we want to do it
00:14:34.98\00:14:37.48
but God has given
us these little rules
00:14:37.51\00:14:39.39
and regulations and His spirit
00:14:39.42\00:14:41.63
which to help us
for our own good.
00:14:41.66\00:14:45.38
God has a code.
What is that code?
00:14:45.41\00:14:48.55
We could just condense it down.
00:14:48.58\00:14:50.03
We would say God has a
code it's a code of principles.
00:14:50.06\00:14:53.05
It's a body of laws.
00:14:53.08\00:14:55.46
Its rules for
living in His world.
00:14:55.49\00:14:59.22
Now think and keep this in mind.
00:14:59.25\00:15:01.72
He's given us rules, principles
for living in His world.
00:15:01.75\00:15:05.66
Some people walk around
like they own the world.
00:15:05.69\00:15:07.54
Do you ever hear that "Oh,
hey, like we own the world."
00:15:07.57\00:15:10.10
Now you don't own anything.
00:15:10.13\00:15:12.18
God has create all things
00:15:12.21\00:15:13.24
and what He's loaned it to
you to see my grandpa use to say
00:15:13.27\00:15:15.84
"I'm gonna see
how you're gonna act."
00:15:15.87\00:15:18.56
He would take us out on the farm
00:15:18.59\00:15:20.19
and he'd give me a
shovel for shovel corn
00:15:20.22\00:15:23.41
and he'd handed to me is to
saying "get busy shoveling."
00:15:23.44\00:15:25.46
He said "I'm
gonna give you shovel
00:15:25.49\00:15:26.58
how you're gonna act with it."
00:15:26.61\00:15:28.78
Well, there's a lot
of people I see today
00:15:28.81\00:15:30.26
that they've a shovel
you know what they do.
00:15:30.29\00:15:32.32
They lean on it.
They take a break.
00:15:32.35\00:15:35.19
You have five guys
leaning on a shovel
00:15:35.22\00:15:36.81
and one man maybe working.
00:15:36.84\00:15:38.17
Look out now.
00:15:38.20\00:15:40.39
So maybe grandpa
wasn't too far off.
00:15:40.42\00:15:42.40
Give you a shovel.
00:15:42.43\00:15:43.46
See how you're gonna
act with that shovel.
00:15:43.49\00:15:46.16
God does have the body of laws.
00:15:46.19\00:15:49.12
And they're for
ruling His world.
00:15:49.15\00:15:51.11
He has a right
to implement those
00:15:51.14\00:15:54.53
but the other part of this is
00:15:54.56\00:15:56.49
there can be no orderly
government without laws.
00:15:56.52\00:16:01.49
Please keep this in mind.
00:16:01.52\00:16:02.98
No orderly
government without laws
00:16:03.01\00:16:05.59
there can be no peace
there can be no happiness--
00:16:05.62\00:16:09.48
listen unless
society accepts those laws.
00:16:09.51\00:16:13.66
See God has some
standard but unless we accept
00:16:13.69\00:16:17.29
those standards we have chaos.
00:16:17.32\00:16:19.87
He wants us to be happy.
He wants us to be in unity.
00:16:19.90\00:16:23.87
In fact, as I was
reading 1 Timothy 1:2-- 2:1-3.
00:16:23.90\00:16:30.06
It's very interesting.
00:16:30.09\00:16:31.12
God said "we
need to give thanks."
00:16:31.15\00:16:33.44
Thanks for all
that are in authority.
00:16:33.47\00:16:36.57
Oh, its hard to do sometime
00:16:36.60\00:16:37.85
because some of the things
are happens unfair we feel
00:16:37.88\00:16:40.66
but we need to give thanks
for those who are in authority
00:16:40.69\00:16:43.01
that we may lead a
quite and peaceable life.
00:16:43.04\00:16:46.78
God has established things
that will protect His people
00:16:46.81\00:16:51.42
if we're certainly
conduct it properly.
00:16:51.45\00:16:54.74
I have accepted this and
I think most people have.
00:16:54.77\00:16:56.93
I have accepted
that there are many laws
00:16:56.96\00:16:59.59
that has been made
that man has implemented
00:16:59.62\00:17:03.44
and many are just
simply to keep us safe.
00:17:03.47\00:17:07.21
And may I add this word.
00:17:07.24\00:17:08.42
Not only to keep us
safe, but to keep us honest.
00:17:08.45\00:17:11.44
I have heard people
say that something too.
00:17:11.47\00:17:12.90
They say "well, I just
want to keep you honest here."
00:17:12.93\00:17:15.56
Well, I believe instead
of lot of laws we look at
00:17:15.59\00:17:18.09
and you can say oh, well this.
00:17:18.12\00:17:20.21
We're talking about here that
00:17:20.24\00:17:21.53
there are supposed to be
directed by the hand of God,
00:17:21.56\00:17:25.72
given to the world
through his leaders
00:17:25.75\00:17:28.98
that will help God's people.
00:17:29.01\00:17:31.42
So we say thank you Lord,
00:17:31.45\00:17:33.25
you have that
right, You've made it.
00:17:33.28\00:17:35.00
And I have this people say
00:17:35.03\00:17:36.58
"I don't like
rules and regulations."
00:17:36.61\00:17:38.62
You know you have difficult time
00:17:38.65\00:17:40.01
living in this world don't you.
00:17:40.04\00:17:42.06
Why? Because
everything has rules.
00:17:42.09\00:17:44.76
If everything that you
think about in your business
00:17:44.79\00:17:48.01
there are rules and regulations.
00:17:48.04\00:17:49.95
In fact there's
paperwork like this sometimes
00:17:49.98\00:17:52.29
that overwhelms
you with the rule.
00:17:52.32\00:17:54.18
We call it sometime red tape
00:17:54.21\00:17:55.38
but there're
rules and regulations.
00:17:55.41\00:17:57.77
How about in the school?
00:17:57.80\00:18:00.01
When I went to school
all I could think about
00:18:00.04\00:18:01.51
it was do's and don'ts.
00:18:01.54\00:18:03.30
School you gonna have
to and do this and do that
00:18:03.33\00:18:06.73
there's rules and lot.
00:18:06.76\00:18:07.92
We get accustomed to that
00:18:07.95\00:18:09.17
and we say well,
made for our own good.
00:18:09.20\00:18:11.39
How about in the home?
00:18:11.42\00:18:12.94
Rules and
regulations okay games.
00:18:12.97\00:18:16.09
Maybe games you see people
00:18:16.12\00:18:17.15
want to play games all the time.
00:18:17.18\00:18:18.38
Well, every game has rules.
00:18:18.41\00:18:22.09
And you had to
follow those rules.
00:18:22.12\00:18:25.14
I got a code of
conduct think about that.
00:18:25.17\00:18:28.71
In the home in the
marriage code of conduct.
00:18:28.74\00:18:32.78
So good rule, conduct, laws
00:18:32.81\00:18:36.16
are the very
foundation of human society.
00:18:36.19\00:18:39.99
We have to have those things.
00:18:40.02\00:18:41.83
Man cannot just do
what he chooses to do.
00:18:41.86\00:18:44.69
Have you ever
thought about that?
00:18:44.72\00:18:46.62
What if everybody,
everybody in this world
00:18:46.65\00:18:50.14
just decided I'm
gonna just do as I please?
00:18:50.17\00:18:55.14
We think we had chaos now.
00:18:55.17\00:18:59.21
Think what it would be if
every man just decided to do
00:18:59.24\00:19:02.11
you know what he wanted to do
00:19:02.14\00:19:03.92
without respecting
other people's laws
00:19:03.95\00:19:07.84
or they respecting
there we call space sometime.
00:19:07.87\00:19:11.55
What a mess it would be.
00:19:11.58\00:19:14.22
If a person does
this they pay the price.
00:19:14.25\00:19:17.89
And this is just
common you know and west coast
00:19:17.92\00:19:20.35
that we travel
and we drive there
00:19:20.38\00:19:22.06
and you know you
could be very close
00:19:22.09\00:19:23.53
and you know,
high in the mountains
00:19:23.56\00:19:24.75
and you can see just a
little old small guardrail
00:19:24.78\00:19:27.35
you look over and its
hundreds of feet below.
00:19:27.38\00:19:29.92
But before that you come to that
00:19:29.95\00:19:31.39
you'll always see a sign
that warns you of the curve.
00:19:31.42\00:19:34.11
You'll see speed
limit that is there.
00:19:34.14\00:19:36.91
That's for your own
good. That's for my own good.
00:19:36.94\00:19:39.62
If you choose not to just ignore
00:19:39.65\00:19:42.76
and go the speed you want to
00:19:42.79\00:19:44.49
you'll find
yourself over the precipice
00:19:44.52\00:19:46.61
and certainly death and disaster
00:19:46.64\00:19:48.39
would be the result.
00:19:48.42\00:19:50.14
So we need to learn to follow
00:19:50.17\00:19:52.78
east coast and
one of the mountains
00:19:52.81\00:19:53.86
and so on and so
where still with the signs
00:19:53.89\00:19:55.94
there's rules
that we need to follow.
00:19:55.97\00:19:58.62
I have noticed in this
life and I think you have too
00:19:58.65\00:20:01.85
where someone
goes against the rules
00:20:01.88\00:20:03.67
have you ever noticed that?
00:20:03.70\00:20:05.51
You'll find that even in
games you know were took plays
00:20:05.54\00:20:08.09
that they just they
want to go against the rules
00:20:08.12\00:20:11.15
and almost like they
want to-- they're cheating.
00:20:11.18\00:20:14.91
And some time they get found out
00:20:14.94\00:20:16.25
while they're cheating
00:20:16.28\00:20:17.31
and that's in
lot of areas of life
00:20:17.34\00:20:19.53
and they're quickly
told now these are the rules.
00:20:19.56\00:20:23.28
Isn't that interesting
we can abide by that.
00:20:23.31\00:20:26.27
But when God set some
codes or rules we said
00:20:26.30\00:20:29.33
"well, we don't have to
do that or they've changed."
00:20:29.36\00:20:33.13
How many of you
have ever purchased
00:20:33.16\00:20:34.86
and we're just doing a
game at the store and monopoly
00:20:34.89\00:20:37.79
whatever it might be
and you're playing it
00:20:37.82\00:20:39.79
and right in the
middle the man says
00:20:39.82\00:20:42.19
"Oh, well, we've changed rules."
00:20:42.22\00:20:44.61
What do you mean
you change the rules?
00:20:44.64\00:20:47.48
We don't change rules.
00:20:47.51\00:20:48.54
This is the way
they've always been.
00:20:48.57\00:20:50.04
This is the way
when they came out.
00:20:50.07\00:20:51.62
Very interesting if
we're looking at God's code
00:20:51.65\00:20:53.44
it's something that is always
been from the very beginning
00:20:53.47\00:20:55.93
and it does not
change and it cannot change
00:20:55.96\00:20:57.75
and it doesn't change
in the middle of the game.
00:20:57.78\00:21:00.38
Well, many people will say
"Well, things have changed."
00:21:00.41\00:21:02.05
Well, have they?
00:21:02.08\00:21:04.29
And people will say "Well,
no, you have to follow the rules
00:21:04.32\00:21:06.90
because we need it
fair for everyone."
00:21:06.93\00:21:09.94
Well, I see that sure.
00:21:09.97\00:21:12.25
And most of us are
all right with that.
00:21:12.28\00:21:13.73
We say "Well,
that's we need to be fair."
00:21:13.76\00:21:15.97
What about God's moral code?
00:21:16.00\00:21:17.52
What about His laws, His
principles for this world.
00:21:17.55\00:21:22.16
The Book of Isaiah
33:22 it makes a statement.
00:21:22.19\00:21:26.22
Its good God is the law giver.
00:21:26.25\00:21:29.81
Interesting, what God is
what? God is the law giver.
00:21:29.84\00:21:32.62
But we're fighting
against God, aren't we.
00:21:32.65\00:21:34.40
God is the law giver.
00:21:34.43\00:21:36.75
God's moral code then is code,
00:21:36.78\00:21:39.22
what is the code, is
His Ten Commandment law.
00:21:39.25\00:21:42.35
That Romans talks about Romans 7
00:21:42.38\00:21:44.26
and you read
verses 12 through 14.
00:21:44.29\00:21:46.15
It says "it's holy, it's
good and it's spiritual."
00:21:46.18\00:21:50.17
Oh, you can't change that
what is spiritual can you?
00:21:50.20\00:21:53.60
Now, but its interesting here,
00:21:53.63\00:21:56.22
man says "Well,
they've done away with that."
00:21:56.25\00:22:00.11
If so Romans 4:15
we've some difficulty here.
00:22:00.14\00:22:04.05
Well, it's been changed,
it's been done away with
00:22:04.08\00:22:06.15
because the Bible
tells us in Roman 4:15."
00:22:06.18\00:22:09.03
"Where no law is,
there is no transgression."
00:22:09.06\00:22:13.46
Where there is no law
there is no transgression.
00:22:13.49\00:22:16.31
I've spend the
lot of time on that
00:22:16.34\00:22:17.68
and I think
you're understood that.
00:22:17.71\00:22:18.97
Well, I understand that.
00:22:19.00\00:22:21.69
This we know for sure
00:22:21.72\00:22:24.82
there is still sin in the world.
00:22:24.85\00:22:28.05
There is still transgression
and as long there is sin
00:22:28.08\00:22:33.68
there must be a
law, interesting.
00:22:33.71\00:22:37.62
For the Bible said in 1 John 3:4
00:22:37.65\00:22:40.32
"For sin is the
transgression of God's law."
00:22:40.35\00:22:45.82
Very interesting thought.
00:22:45.85\00:22:47.39
And then the Bible goes on
now let we're weighing it out.
00:22:47.42\00:22:49.78
The wages of sin in
Romans 6:23 is what?
00:22:49.81\00:22:53.37
Is death.
00:22:53.40\00:22:55.13
You'll say yeah, but
did I-- the Bible says
00:22:55.16\00:22:57.80
if were talking
in the New Testament
00:22:57.83\00:22:59.24
in Romans 5:14 it says,
00:22:59.27\00:23:02.56
from Adam to
Moses death reigned.
00:23:02.59\00:23:06.63
Death reigned from Adam to what?
00:23:06.66\00:23:09.00
"To Moses." And
then quotes on down.
00:23:09.03\00:23:13.12
So evidently there
must have been a law
00:23:13.15\00:23:15.70
that's been in effect.
00:23:15.73\00:23:18.06
There must have been
even before given on Sinai
00:23:18.09\00:23:21.22
and people will say "Well
there was none before then."
00:23:21.25\00:23:23.27
But he Bible says "The
wages of sin is death."
00:23:23.30\00:23:27.15
And death reigned from it
says "From Adam to Moses."
00:23:27.18\00:23:30.14
Now, as we trace God's
code did it very simply
00:23:30.17\00:23:34.23
but we're just like
if you really realize
00:23:34.26\00:23:36.76
the people that have an argument
00:23:36.79\00:23:38.39
with what well I'm talking about
00:23:38.42\00:23:39.65
here it seems to
be so simple for many.
00:23:39.68\00:23:43.85
They really want to
argue the point here
00:23:43.88\00:23:45.64
but we trace God's code,
00:23:45.67\00:23:47.22
God's code we find that man knew
00:23:47.25\00:23:50.30
God's commands
or his commandments
00:23:50.33\00:23:52.59
even before they
were written stone.
00:23:52.62\00:23:54.88
That makes sense
doesn't it? You've heard it?
00:23:54.91\00:23:57.32
Even before they
were written on stone
00:23:57.35\00:23:59.09
man knew right from wrong.
00:23:59.12\00:24:02.08
Very, interesting.
00:24:02.11\00:24:04.88
They argument
that well, the laws
00:24:04.91\00:24:07.72
it was in operation until Sinai.
00:24:07.75\00:24:10.68
The Ten Commandment law was
for the Jews and the Jews only.
00:24:10.71\00:24:16.31
The law was for
Old Testament believers
00:24:16.34\00:24:18.28
not for the New
Testament believers today.
00:24:18.31\00:24:21.32
That all goes out the window
00:24:21.35\00:24:22.69
as we study as we
look and let's do it.
00:24:22.72\00:24:25.79
Let's do it for instance
let's go back to the beginning
00:24:25.82\00:24:28.59
and let's trace as
quickly as we can to the end.
00:24:28.62\00:24:31.50
Now, what happened
in the Garden of Eden?
00:24:31.53\00:24:33.39
Well, you know this
subject but so as you realize
00:24:33.42\00:24:35.38
there're many people who do not
00:24:35.41\00:24:37.12
and so we're addressing
those who do not know today.
00:24:37.15\00:24:40.58
Adam and Eve the
Bible said they sin.
00:24:40.61\00:24:44.04
Now, what
happened when they sin?
00:24:44.07\00:24:46.02
They' were cast
out of the garden.
00:24:46.05\00:24:48.21
Evidentially there was
a code, there was rules
00:24:48.24\00:24:52.07
and if they
didn't follow those rules
00:24:52.10\00:24:54.05
and they didn't they transgress.
00:24:54.08\00:24:56.49
They were what?
Asked to leave the garden.
00:24:56.52\00:24:59.61
And notice after
they did the wrong thing,
00:24:59.64\00:25:02.50
you know they knew
they did the wrong thing
00:25:02.53\00:25:04.55
because the Bible
said after they had sinned,
00:25:04.58\00:25:07.02
after they transgressed what?
00:25:07.05\00:25:08.35
They hid. Very interesting.
00:25:08.38\00:25:11.87
You find that today, you find
that with little children even.
00:25:11.90\00:25:15.70
They do what mom and
dad asked him not to do.
00:25:15.73\00:25:18.72
And then you'll find you'll say
"Stay out of the cookie jar."
00:25:18.75\00:25:23.80
And they take that
little cookie real quick
00:25:23.83\00:25:25.18
and they go hide behind
the couch and they eat it
00:25:25.21\00:25:26.99
and they come out with
the crumbs all their face.
00:25:27.02\00:25:30.12
Don't seem to know anything
what happened to the cookie.
00:25:30.15\00:25:33.42
But they went hid
because they even knew that
00:25:33.45\00:25:35.88
they were not supposed to
what, because they were told.
00:25:35.91\00:25:40.23
Then if we go a
little bit farther
00:25:40.26\00:25:41.43
we realize that Adam's
son Cain killed his brother.
00:25:41.46\00:25:47.84
As so interesting the
Bible talks about he's sinned.
00:25:47.87\00:25:51.79
Well, how can there be
sin when there is no law.
00:25:51.82\00:25:57.30
And when asked him
after he killed his brother,
00:25:57.33\00:26:01.26
"am I my brothers keeper?"
00:26:01.29\00:26:03.85
Very, interesting thought
00:26:03.88\00:26:06.56
and then God had a little
conversation you see with Cain.
00:26:06.59\00:26:10.55
Genesis 4:7-11.
Notice what God said.
00:26:10.58\00:26:15.87
Now, I want you to
pay attention just please.
00:26:15.90\00:26:18.56
God said to Cain
"sin lieth at the door."
00:26:18.59\00:26:24.81
At your door.
00:26:24.84\00:26:26.21
How could sin lie at
his door if there was no law
00:26:26.24\00:26:30.88
for that point for that
time there was not the knowledge
00:26:30.91\00:26:33.86
of good and
evil, right and wrong.
00:26:33.89\00:26:35.97
How could there be if God said
him "sin lies at your door."
00:26:36.00\00:26:40.60
Something must
have been in operation.
00:26:40.63\00:26:42.66
Did God have a code?
00:26:42.69\00:26:45.86
How could they really know
00:26:45.89\00:26:49.32
if there was no right and wrong?
00:26:49.35\00:26:52.15
There's we travel right on down
we think about Noah and Lot.
00:26:52.18\00:26:57.02
This is very
important, Noah and Lot.
00:26:57.05\00:26:58.71
They lived the Bible
said "among lawbreakers."
00:26:58.74\00:27:02.52
This was before
Sinai so how cold they,
00:27:02.55\00:27:05.99
we're talking about
they lived among lawbreakers.
00:27:06.02\00:27:08.19
If there was no law how
could they be lawbreakers.
00:27:08.22\00:27:12.68
In fact, if you want to
read about the New Testament
00:27:12.71\00:27:14.83
speaks boldly about
this in 2 Peter 2:4-8.
00:27:14.86\00:27:20.73
And so they lived in a time
00:27:20.76\00:27:22.27
where man was going
against God's government.
00:27:22.30\00:27:25.87
Remember, God has a right.
He's God, He has this code.
00:27:25.90\00:27:29.37
He has rules right to
govern this world this universe.
00:27:29.40\00:27:34.73
And so we need to
say okay God what is it.
00:27:34.76\00:27:37.06
What is your will?
00:27:37.09\00:27:38.72
What is that you
would have me to do?
00:27:38.75\00:27:41.89
Very interesting, we can
trace go right down to Abraham.
00:27:41.92\00:27:44.45
You remember Abraham?
00:27:44.48\00:27:47.34
The Bible said "Abraham obeyed
God's statutes and His laws."
00:27:47.37\00:27:53.29
Well, how could
he have done that?
00:27:53.32\00:27:54.44
He obeyed God's
statutes and His law.
00:27:54.47\00:27:56.46
That's in Genesis, Genesis 26:5.
00:27:56.49\00:28:01.07
"Abraham obeyed God's rules,
00:28:01.10\00:28:03.46
His statutes,
His laws His codes."
00:28:03.49\00:28:06.04
How could he be
before they were given
00:28:06.07\00:28:07.42
unless there was what?
00:28:07.45\00:28:08.80
A law that's given
that that man understood.
00:28:08.83\00:28:11.25
That was past
down from the creator
00:28:11.28\00:28:13.77
to Adam and Eve
and all the posterity.
00:28:13.80\00:28:16.87
There had to be because
where there is no its right
00:28:16.90\00:28:19.92
there is no law there is no
sin that's what the Bible said.
00:28:19.95\00:28:23.29
God said sin lies at the door.
00:28:23.32\00:28:24.88
There were
lawbreakers in Noah, Lots day.
00:28:24.91\00:28:27.40
Abraham obeyed God's--
see in order to have done this
00:28:27.43\00:28:31.92
God's code must
have been enforced.
00:28:31.95\00:28:36.15
So lot of people
want to use this say
00:28:36.18\00:28:37.43
"Well, we don't have to do it."
00:28:37.46\00:28:38.51
And we go back again
we back to Genesis 13:13
00:28:38.54\00:28:44.04
the Bible is very clear.
00:28:44.07\00:28:46.32
Sodom and
Gomorrah was destroyed.
00:28:46.35\00:28:49.00
Now notice what the Bible says.
00:28:49.03\00:28:50.97
"They were destroyed
because" there was wicked.
00:28:51.00\00:28:54.32
"They were wicked and sinners
before the God exceedingly."
00:28:54.35\00:28:58.36
He just didn't say
"They were sinners."
00:28:58.39\00:29:00.50
Just didn't say "That
was bad things going on."
00:29:00.53\00:29:02.93
It said "they were
exceedingly sinners."
00:29:02.96\00:29:05.99
They went above and beyond.
00:29:06.02\00:29:09.51
Well, how could that take
place in Genesis Chapter 3?
00:29:09.54\00:29:15.97
How could you define
sin if there was no rules
00:29:16.00\00:29:19.61
there was no code
that God has always have?
00:29:19.64\00:29:22.86
See people will
think to establish
00:29:22.89\00:29:24.10
that it was given at Sinai--
I was given for specific period
00:29:24.13\00:29:26.62
but if it goes right
back from the very beginning
00:29:26.65\00:29:28.87
we trace it right on down then
00:29:28.90\00:29:30.35
presumed we're
left without excuse
00:29:30.38\00:29:32.21
that God has always had
and He always will have.
00:29:32.24\00:29:35.44
Why because He is God.
00:29:35.47\00:29:38.63
Remember, there are deeds
the Bible says in 2 Peter 2
00:29:38.66\00:29:45.43
talking about Sodom
and Gomorrah and the sins
00:29:45.46\00:29:47.28
it says that
there were unlawful.
00:29:47.31\00:29:50.83
To be unlawful
means there must be a law
00:29:50.86\00:29:52.76
that you went against
that makes it unlawful.
00:29:52.79\00:29:56.73
Unlawful deeds 2 Peter
7:8 we shouldn't read that
00:29:56.76\00:29:59.68
when you have all that
opportunity that you can give.
00:29:59.71\00:30:03.15
Because sometime
we become confused
00:30:03.18\00:30:04.75
because we get you
know open the Bible
00:30:04.78\00:30:06.46
and we'll say
well, let's see here
00:30:06.49\00:30:07.52
and we read one verse
and we become confused.
00:30:07.55\00:30:09.76
Don't, don't do that.
00:30:09.79\00:30:11.12
You know, line upon
line, precept upon precept,
00:30:11.15\00:30:13.24
here a little and there a little
00:30:13.27\00:30:14.59
it's what God have you.
00:30:14.62\00:30:16.17
This is how we
find out what truth is.
00:30:16.20\00:30:18.66
So how can these things-- see
instead of just write it all,
00:30:18.69\00:30:21.55
here's a easy word
for Christians we call it,
00:30:21.58\00:30:23.69
Christians in the world they
just write it off very quick
00:30:23.72\00:30:26.15
and say "Well, we
don't do that anymore.
00:30:26.18\00:30:27.53
Well, let's-- its changed now."
00:30:27.56\00:30:29.11
But when you have a
weight of evidence that coming
00:30:29.14\00:30:31.26
and God said you know
"Sin lies at the door."
00:30:31.29\00:30:34.29
He said the "Sodom and Gomorrah
was sinful exceedingly sinful.
00:30:34.32\00:30:37.97
It was unlawful."
00:30:38.00\00:30:40.13
He's saying there
must have been a code.
00:30:40.16\00:30:42.82
There must have
been something there.
00:30:42.85\00:30:46.47
So as we continue
tracing God's code,
00:30:46.50\00:30:51.05
we can see that there has
00:30:51.08\00:30:52.81
always been a
knowledge of right and wrong.
00:30:52.84\00:30:57.73
Think about it.
There has always been what?
00:30:57.76\00:31:00.48
A knowledge of right and wrong
00:31:00.51\00:31:02.70
and again it can
be seen in the garden
00:31:02.73\00:31:04.82
and we're
following it right on down
00:31:04.85\00:31:07.30
before the law
was given at Sinai.
00:31:07.33\00:31:10.61
So man always had
that put in his mind
00:31:10.64\00:31:13.02
God gave it to him
things are right and wrong.
00:31:13.05\00:31:17.50
Now the knowledge that
he had people say yeah,
00:31:17.53\00:31:19.44
but it wasn't written on stone,
that's truth at that time.
00:31:19.47\00:31:21.55
Notice, but they had an
idea of what was right and wrong
00:31:21.58\00:31:25.96
to meet men where they were
at in the history of the world.
00:31:25.99\00:31:31.46
God always takes
care of this doesn't He?
00:31:31.49\00:31:33.92
He knows what we are need
of. He wants us to be protected.
00:31:33.95\00:31:38.38
He wants us to
love Him supremely.
00:31:38.41\00:31:40.15
He wants us to
love our fellowman.
00:31:40.18\00:31:43.13
So He gave us some codes
00:31:43.16\00:31:44.99
and which would help to guide us
00:31:45.02\00:31:46.86
to be able to do the right thing
00:31:46.89\00:31:49.01
under the unction
of the Holy Spirit.
00:31:49.04\00:31:51.95
Now as I'm thinking on,
I'm thinking about Joseph.
00:31:51.98\00:31:56.07
How did Joseph know?
00:31:56.10\00:31:59.97
He must have known what sin was.
00:32:00.00\00:32:03.78
He had to know what sin--
00:32:03.81\00:32:06.33
he had to know the difference
between right and wrong.
00:32:06.36\00:32:11.71
Is that make sense?
00:32:11.74\00:32:12.78
See even though these are simple
00:32:12.81\00:32:14.31
and you heard
them all at your life
00:32:14.34\00:32:15.99
you'll say right here
this is weight of evidence.
00:32:16.02\00:32:18.70
These are things that we
have to weigh out in the scale.
00:32:18.73\00:32:21.63
He had to know
what was right and wrong
00:32:21.66\00:32:25.33
because he made
quite a statement
00:32:25.36\00:32:27.52
as we look in Genesis 39:9.
00:32:27.55\00:32:32.14
When he was tempted you
remember don't have to go
00:32:32.17\00:32:34.86
into that you've
heard the story many times.
00:32:34.89\00:32:36.49
When he was
tempted he simply said.
00:32:36.52\00:32:38.69
"How then can I do this?"
00:32:38.72\00:32:41.18
Notice this, he said
this great wickedness.
00:32:41.21\00:32:46.52
"How can I do
this great wickedness,
00:32:46.55\00:32:50.21
and sin against God?"
00:32:50.24\00:32:52.59
How could he do it?
00:32:52.62\00:32:54.07
Well, how did
know that it was wrong.
00:32:54.10\00:32:55.65
How did he know
when he broke the code,
00:32:55.68\00:32:58.80
the Commandments of God?
00:32:58.83\00:33:00.80
How did he know that he was
sinning against not only man
00:33:00.83\00:33:04.77
but sinning against God?
00:33:04.80\00:33:06.96
Very interesting, thought.
So we look at God's moral code.
00:33:06.99\00:33:12.06
And remember God's
moral code of what?
00:33:12.09\00:33:14.45
Of righteousness
existed before Sinai.
00:33:14.48\00:33:18.81
Oh, there is lot
of other examples
00:33:18.84\00:33:19.94
but this just get
you right on track here.
00:33:19.97\00:33:23.47
Do you remember as
God's people how is it--
00:33:23.50\00:33:26.62
how could God rebuke the people
00:33:26.65\00:33:28.19
for something
that they didn't know?
00:33:28.22\00:33:30.94
They must have
known it, God would not.
00:33:30.97\00:33:32.85
He said in times of
ignorance he wouldn't accept.
00:33:32.88\00:33:34.92
But very
interesting in Exodus 16:28,
00:33:34.95\00:33:39.01
God said He is talking
Moses how long the people,
00:33:39.04\00:33:42.16
"How long refuse you to keep
my commandments and my laws?"
00:33:42.19\00:33:46.66
This was before Sinai.
00:33:46.69\00:33:49.20
There must be
something true this right here
00:33:49.23\00:33:51.40
because God rebuked the people
00:33:51.43\00:33:54.30
for gathering
manna on the Sabbath.
00:33:54.33\00:33:57.49
So there was Sabbath
and it existed before Sinai
00:33:57.52\00:34:00.10
and the Ten Commandment law.
00:34:00.13\00:34:02.63
God rebuked them for getting out
00:34:02.66\00:34:04.74
and gathering
manna on the Sabbath
00:34:04.77\00:34:06.25
and God said how long refuse you
00:34:06.28\00:34:08.76
to keep My
commandments and My laws.
00:34:08.79\00:34:12.79
Now we could turn that
and read some more on it
00:34:12.82\00:34:14.83
but I thought
its very interesting
00:34:14.86\00:34:16.16
as I have here in my Bible
00:34:16.19\00:34:17.51
Exodus Chapter 16
it said in verse 23.
00:34:17.54\00:34:21.98
Bible says "Tomorrow is the rest
00:34:22.01\00:34:24.43
of the holy
Sabbath unto the Lord."
00:34:24.46\00:34:27.70
Wow, verse 26.
00:34:27.73\00:34:30.71
"Six days you gather
but on the seventh day,
00:34:30.74\00:34:34.32
which is the Sabbath," there's
not going to be anything.
00:34:34.35\00:34:38.20
There's going to be any manna.
00:34:38.23\00:34:40.06
Because it's the
Sabbath of the Lord
00:34:40.09\00:34:41.43
thy God we need to examine
00:34:41.46\00:34:42.81
what God would have
us to do on the Sabbath.
00:34:42.84\00:34:44.41
Why, He's
creator, He made a Sabbath.
00:34:44.44\00:34:46.15
It's His day.
00:34:46.18\00:34:47.64
And He let us know what
we should do on that day.
00:34:47.67\00:34:49.67
Does He have a
right? Yes, He does.
00:34:49.70\00:34:52.20
Does He give you a
freewill? Yes, He does.
00:34:52.23\00:34:54.78
Can you choose? Yes, you can.
00:34:54.81\00:34:56.58
Will there be consequences?
Yes, there will be.
00:34:56.61\00:34:59.52
Instead of the--
with the old excuses
00:34:59.55\00:35:01.63
well its different
now we don't do it,
00:35:01.66\00:35:03.17
we're in the New
Testament, we're under grace.
00:35:03.20\00:35:05.04
Praise God, for
grace, praise God for grace
00:35:05.07\00:35:09.30
but I say and you've
heard it said many times,
00:35:09.33\00:35:11.33
grace is not a license to sin.
00:35:11.36\00:35:15.46
Why do we need--
people talk about grace,
00:35:15.49\00:35:17.42
grace, grace praise God for it.
00:35:17.45\00:35:19.26
But what is grace?
00:35:19.29\00:35:20.56
Grace, you need grace when
you sin or you break the law.
00:35:20.59\00:35:23.95
Is that makes sense?
00:35:23.98\00:35:26.64
If you didn't break
the law you didn't--
00:35:26.67\00:35:28.11
well, we need grace.
00:35:28.14\00:35:29.21
Grace was instituted because
man broke the law of God.
00:35:29.24\00:35:33.72
It's not a license
to continue on to sin,
00:35:33.75\00:35:35.78
praise God for if
we sin we have advocate
00:35:35.81\00:35:38.36
with the Father now.
00:35:38.39\00:35:40.10
Praise God for that.
00:35:40.13\00:35:42.15
Its wonderful its good
news but its not these excuses
00:35:42.18\00:35:45.64
that people use all the time
00:35:45.67\00:35:47.02
that now we don't
have to do that anymore.
00:35:47.05\00:35:49.08
Well, you don't have to do
anything if you don't want.
00:35:49.11\00:35:52.44
But God says this is
what He commands us to do.
00:35:52.47\00:35:55.84
We trace these codes
down God's moral codes.
00:35:55.87\00:36:00.24
See the people knew then
00:36:00.27\00:36:02.43
about God's holy
Sabbath, didn't they.
00:36:02.46\00:36:05.85
The people knew before
it was written on stone.
00:36:05.88\00:36:10.75
Because God said
"How long you refuse?"
00:36:10.78\00:36:14.07
The Lord said listen,
the Lord himself said this.
00:36:14.10\00:36:17.43
"Tomorrow is the
rest of the holy Sabbath."
00:36:17.46\00:36:21.47
In Exodus 16:23 "Tomorrow is
the rest of the holy Sabbath."
00:36:21.50\00:36:27.11
What does that mean?
00:36:27.14\00:36:28.95
Tomorrow is the, they
had, that had to be Friday
00:36:28.98\00:36:34.50
that He was talking about
00:36:34.53\00:36:38.39
because they
gathered twice as much
00:36:38.42\00:36:39.84
and then they
rested on the Sabbath.
00:36:39.87\00:36:43.57
The seventh day of the week,
00:36:43.60\00:36:47.06
God said it's the
rest of the holy Sabbath
00:36:47.09\00:36:51.29
instituted by God.
00:36:51.32\00:36:54.73
Do you realize before
the law was given and written
00:36:54.76\00:36:57.17
Moses taught the
people God's laws.
00:36:57.20\00:37:01.83
Moses taught them long before
they were written on stone.
00:37:01.86\00:37:06.74
You can read that in
Exodus 18:16 very interesting.
00:37:06.77\00:37:10.95
Now notice when he said
00:37:10.98\00:37:12.71
"When you have a matter,
they and you come unto me."
00:37:12.74\00:37:17.77
Moses said "I will judge
between one and another."
00:37:17.80\00:37:21.36
Now notice, "I'll
do and make them know"
00:37:21.39\00:37:24.59
listen "the statutes
of God, and his laws."
00:37:24.62\00:37:30.05
Showing certainly if
they were in existence
00:37:30.08\00:37:32.48
long before Mount Sinai
even there is a difference
00:37:32.51\00:37:35.16
when there is a problem
bringing the people before me
00:37:35.19\00:37:37.03
and I'm going to show
them I'm going to make known
00:37:37.06\00:37:39.55
the statutes of
God and His laws.
00:37:39.58\00:37:42.49
That's what Exodus 18:16 says.
00:37:42.52\00:37:44.51
Now, doesn't maybe this proof
00:37:44.54\00:37:49.41
without a question
that the law of God,
00:37:49.44\00:37:53.64
His code existed
from the beginning,
00:37:53.67\00:37:58.69
from Adam to Moses
from Moses to Christ,
00:37:58.72\00:38:03.91
Christ to the apostles,
to the New Testament church.
00:38:03.94\00:38:09.32
Wow, so simple just
to trace it right on down
00:38:09.35\00:38:13.50
the message is solid, the
message is right on target
00:38:13.53\00:38:16.98
and the devil is out
to try to change things.
00:38:17.01\00:38:20.78
But friends if you
stay in the Word of God
00:38:20.81\00:38:22.92
it's not going to happen, is it.
00:38:22.95\00:38:24.64
You listen to mankind today
man has his own little ideas.
00:38:24.67\00:38:27.54
He sure trying to
jot God off of the throne
00:38:27.57\00:38:29.23
he's trying to put
himself upon the throne of God.
00:38:29.26\00:38:34.45
We know, we know that God spoke
and wrote the Ten Commandments.
00:38:34.48\00:38:39.12
I don't think that's
really a question, do you.
00:38:39.15\00:38:41.15
We know He wrote it,
and we know He spoke them.
00:38:41.18\00:38:43.73
What,
Deuteronomy 4:13 you can take
00:38:43.76\00:38:45.85
and you can read
what it tells us.
00:38:45.88\00:38:47.94
He said He wrote them
upon two tables of stone.
00:38:47.97\00:38:53.23
God wrote them.
00:38:53.26\00:38:54.32
You'll say well this
is simple we've been over.
00:38:54.35\00:38:56.14
It's not for many
people. The world is confused.
00:38:56.17\00:39:00.10
And I think this many times
00:39:00.13\00:39:01.51
we don't go over the
simple parts of the message
00:39:01.54\00:39:04.37
because we have heard it so
often and we think we know it.
00:39:04.40\00:39:07.31
Friend, do you realize
this-- I may be careful here
00:39:07.34\00:39:10.26
that this message
is bigger than you.
00:39:10.29\00:39:12.67
It's bigger than me.
00:39:12.70\00:39:14.35
We have to try to reach
the masses who do not believe
00:39:14.38\00:39:18.35
what I'm talking about today.
00:39:18.38\00:39:20.20
And know other ways through
the powers of the Holy Spirit
00:39:20.23\00:39:22.53
by doing simply
what A-B-C, 1-2-3
00:39:22.56\00:39:25.93
that they can trace it
we're talking to the people
00:39:25.96\00:39:28.49
the Bible says
go to the highways
00:39:28.52\00:39:30.88
the hedges go to the worldwide
and tell them these truths.
00:39:30.91\00:39:34.89
Aren't you excited
about these beautiful truths?
00:39:34.92\00:39:36.54
I'm really excited about
them because the Word of God
00:39:36.57\00:39:40.58
you don't have to really
you don't have to worry about
00:39:40.61\00:39:43.11
because the more of
there its challenge than more
00:39:43.14\00:39:44.90
that it shows itself
to be what it is, what.
00:39:44.93\00:39:46.99
The Word of God--unchangeable--
never changes.
00:39:47.02\00:39:51.02
In fact the man the audacity
of man to open the pages
00:39:51.05\00:39:55.87
and say this part is okay
and the other part is changed.
00:39:55.90\00:40:00.37
This part seems to be all right
00:40:00.40\00:40:01.64
and the other part
we don't worry about it.
00:40:01.67\00:40:03.70
What do you mean you
don't worry about it anymore?
00:40:03.73\00:40:07.06
Is this not all inspired
than what scripture tells us.
00:40:07.09\00:40:10.98
Sure, all scripture is
given by inspiration of God.
00:40:11.01\00:40:14.21
So do you have
greater inspiration
00:40:14.24\00:40:15.72
or because you
think well I feel like.
00:40:15.75\00:40:17.92
I hear that a
lot, I feel, I sense.
00:40:17.95\00:40:19.90
So what is the Word of God say?
Get back to the Word of God.
00:40:19.93\00:40:22.82
Quit living on your
feelings and your emotions
00:40:22.85\00:40:24.57
what a mess the world is in
00:40:24.60\00:40:26.15
because there
are they're feeling--
00:40:26.18\00:40:27.26
they're living on
emotions and feeling.
00:40:27.29\00:40:28.93
What do you think
all of the killing
00:40:28.96\00:40:30.01
and all the stuff is
going on in the world?
00:40:30.04\00:40:31.60
People, living on emotions,
they don't have a code.
00:40:31.63\00:40:35.17
They don't have laws
they have to regulate
00:40:35.20\00:40:37.15
to govern society in this world.
00:40:37.18\00:40:39.56
They're not
willing to follow them.
00:40:39.59\00:40:41.84
We're in such a mess today.
00:40:41.87\00:40:44.60
And lot has to
do with that beyond
00:40:44.63\00:40:45.89
some of the
preachers in the world today
00:40:45.92\00:40:47.65
and some of the teachers
00:40:47.68\00:40:49.50
who are not willing to
follow the Word of God.
00:40:49.53\00:40:53.08
Bible said "God
wrote His testimony."
00:40:53.11\00:40:57.18
Have you ever heard that
the testimony of Jesus Christ?
00:40:57.21\00:41:02.27
The stones
contained that he wrote
00:41:02.30\00:41:04.41
the Ten Commandments on, what,
00:41:04.44\00:41:06.61
they're written
on they're written
00:41:06.64\00:41:07.91
and said it's a testimony.
00:41:07.94\00:41:09.15
Read that in
Exodus 31:18, please.
00:41:09.18\00:41:11.55
Two tables of
testimony the Bible says.
00:41:11.58\00:41:15.39
So the
testimonies then are what?
00:41:15.42\00:41:17.62
And we say testimony it's
the written right will of God
00:41:17.65\00:41:22.13
and they were based
upon the spoken Word of God.
00:41:22.16\00:41:26.91
He spoke it and He wrote it
00:41:26.94\00:41:29.41
on tables of
stone not to be removed,
00:41:29.44\00:41:32.25
not to be
changed, not for man to add
00:41:32.28\00:41:34.50
one little bit
two or to takeaway.
00:41:34.53\00:41:36.21
He can't do that.
00:41:36.24\00:41:38.68
Bible says in Isaiah 8:20,
you know what it talks about.
00:41:38.71\00:41:43.00
It says to the law
and to the testimony.
00:41:43.03\00:41:45.25
But remember the law of God
00:41:45.28\00:41:47.02
is the divine
test of all teaching.
00:41:47.05\00:41:51.43
Did you get that?
00:41:51.46\00:41:52.75
The Word of God is a
divine test of all teaching.
00:41:52.78\00:41:57.55
And then we quote to
the law and the testimony
00:41:57.58\00:41:59.79
if they speak
not according to this
00:41:59.82\00:42:01.15
because there is
no light in them.
00:42:01.18\00:42:03.76
The man may be just challenge
you a little bit today.
00:42:03.79\00:42:06.22
How many maybe of
us, how many of you,
00:42:06.25\00:42:11.06
you're willing to sit
down and TV and the radio
00:42:11.09\00:42:13.78
and different and
read things that you know
00:42:13.81\00:42:15.64
and what you're going to hear is
00:42:15.67\00:42:16.70
not the truth as
you understand it.
00:42:16.73\00:42:19.79
The law of the testimony if
they speak not according to it
00:42:19.82\00:42:22.42
is because there
is no light in them.
00:42:22.45\00:42:24.83
If they're speaking against
the Ten Commandment law of God
00:42:24.86\00:42:29.38
they may not know any difference
00:42:29.41\00:42:30.64
but the Bible said
there is no light in them
00:42:30.67\00:42:33.62
to His testimonies
or two tables of stone.
00:42:33.65\00:42:37.10
So how could there
be light when the Bible
00:42:37.13\00:42:38.80
when they're
teaching well nine is good
00:42:38.83\00:42:41.56
but the one is done away with.
00:42:41.59\00:42:44.78
Friend, I know its startling
to someone I know it's hurtful
00:42:44.81\00:42:46.96
to some that's not
the intentions at all here
00:42:46.99\00:42:49.66
at Behold the Lamb but
simply get you stirred up to say
00:42:49.69\00:42:52.59
"Why are we doing?" Do you say?
00:42:52.62\00:42:54.18
Has the enemy not
attacked God's law?
00:42:54.21\00:42:56.33
Has he not
attacked God's character?
00:42:56.36\00:42:58.39
Has he not attacking
the remnant people of God?
00:42:58.42\00:43:00.79
He is like to
say absolutely he is.
00:43:00.82\00:43:02.62
And I am determined by
the grace of God to stand
00:43:02.65\00:43:04.61
and fight how about you.
00:43:04.64\00:43:05.98
I know He says He'll
fight our battles for.
00:43:06.01\00:43:07.65
But He doesn't want you to
sit and recline and do nothing.
00:43:07.68\00:43:10.62
We have to respond
because there is many honest
00:43:10.65\00:43:13.11
good hard people that have never
00:43:13.14\00:43:14.72
maybe heard these
simple things before.
00:43:14.75\00:43:19.13
So it's God's code could
not, could not be done away with
00:43:19.16\00:43:23.79
or we would not have known what
was sin or not right and wrong.
00:43:23.82\00:43:30.01
And then it maybe
another point here--
00:43:30.04\00:43:32.79
code cannot be done away
with or how will we prove
00:43:32.82\00:43:35.23
what is right and what is wrong?
00:43:35.26\00:43:37.91
Because the Bible
in Romans 3:20 says
00:43:37.94\00:43:40.64
by the law is the good.
00:43:40.67\00:43:43.23
Oh, I hurry yes
it's the knowledge of sin
00:43:43.26\00:43:46.50
by the law doesn't save you.
00:43:46.53\00:43:50.39
It condemns you.
00:43:50.42\00:43:52.26
But by the law is
the knowledge of sin
00:43:52.29\00:43:55.21
so we're able by looking
at the Ten Commandment law
00:43:55.24\00:43:58.17
to know what is
pleasing in the side of God
00:43:58.20\00:44:00.22
and best for what, love to Him
and our love for our fellowman.
00:44:00.25\00:44:04.63
So it could not be
possibly be done away with
00:44:04.66\00:44:07.29
because we would not know
what is right and what is wrong.
00:44:07.32\00:44:12.44
And so it's
there, it's the eternal.
00:44:12.47\00:44:15.63
You know, it's very interesting
that Jesus in His life--
00:44:15.66\00:44:19.83
listen carefully
He lived out the law.
00:44:19.86\00:44:23.20
He lived that out in His life.
00:44:23.23\00:44:25.31
Isaiah 42:21 says
00:44:25.34\00:44:28.25
"He would magnify the
law and make it honorable."
00:44:28.28\00:44:32.50
Lot of people have
their thoughts on that
00:44:32.53\00:44:34.66
because we've really
studied the Word of God,
00:44:34.69\00:44:36.15
the principles of God's word.
00:44:36.18\00:44:39.37
And I found this article in the
Acts of the Apostles page 505.
00:44:39.40\00:44:43.01
It's quite lengthy
a couple of paragraphs
00:44:43.04\00:44:44.75
but please listen carefully,
listen how much sense it makes.
00:44:44.78\00:44:47.80
"In the precepts
of His holy law of God
00:44:47.83\00:44:51.07
has given us a
perfect rule of life."
00:44:51.10\00:44:54.92
God's Ten Commandment law
00:44:54.95\00:44:56.31
gives us a prefect rule of life.
00:44:56.34\00:44:59.55
"He has declared that until
the close of time this law,
00:44:59.58\00:45:04.03
unchanged in a
single jot or tittle,
00:45:04.06\00:45:07.40
is to maintain its claims upon"
the human race, "human beings.
00:45:07.43\00:45:12.74
Christ came" the
Bible said we just read.
00:45:12.77\00:45:15.74
And so Christ came to do what?
00:45:15.77\00:45:17.89
"To magnify the law,"
00:45:17.92\00:45:19.71
Isaiah 42 we just read
"and to make it honorable.
00:45:19.74\00:45:24.03
He showed that it's
based upon the broad foundation
00:45:24.06\00:45:27.96
of love to God
and love to" our what?
00:45:27.99\00:45:30.46
"Our fellowman, that
obedience to its precepts"
00:45:30.49\00:45:35.45
listen obedience
to its precepts just
00:45:35.48\00:45:38.93
"compromises or comprises
the whole duty of man."
00:45:38.96\00:45:43.51
You'll read that in
Book of Ecclesiastes 12:13
00:45:43.54\00:45:48.94
it says it about
there that we are to
00:45:48.97\00:45:50.32
"Let us hear the
conclusion of the whole matter.
00:45:50.35\00:45:53.89
Fear God and
keep his commandments,
00:45:53.92\00:45:56.21
for this is the
whole duty of man."
00:45:56.24\00:45:58.07
Some others not hearing that,
this is the whole duty of man.
00:45:58.10\00:46:03.93
Wow, people say
"Well, we talk a lot about
00:46:03.96\00:46:07.66
you know in the mount
of-- Sermon on the Mount
00:46:07.69\00:46:10.89
that He showed, you know,
He taught some great lessons."
00:46:10.92\00:46:14.28
But listen very carefully
"In his own life he gave
00:46:14.31\00:46:16.68
an example of
obedience to the law of God.
00:46:16.71\00:46:20.02
In the Sermon on
the Mount He showed
00:46:20.05\00:46:21.51
how its requirements extended
beyond the outward acts"
00:46:21.54\00:46:26.95
and then it went
what "on the thoughts
00:46:26.98\00:46:29.42
and the intents of the heart."
00:46:29.45\00:46:32.33
He went beyond.
How is your heart?
00:46:32.36\00:46:35.65
How are your thoughts today?
00:46:35.68\00:46:39.54
In reference
there is Manuscript 82,
00:46:39.57\00:46:41.69
this paragraph 1900 says
"The strength of his army
00:46:41.72\00:46:46.03
is to be used for
a one great purpose.
00:46:46.06\00:46:48.41
Its efforts are
to be concentrated
00:46:48.44\00:46:51.28
upon one great point."
00:46:51.31\00:46:52.63
Notice this we as Christian
we belong to the army of God.
00:46:52.66\00:46:55.88
We are to "magnify the
law" and we're to do what?
00:46:55.91\00:47:00.34
We're to take it
"before the world
00:47:00.37\00:47:01.71
and before
angels and before man."
00:47:01.74\00:47:03.35
We're to magnify.
We're to bring it out.
00:47:03.38\00:47:05.49
We're to make it clear.
00:47:05.52\00:47:06.83
We are to
present it to the world.
00:47:06.86\00:47:08.36
Well, the enemy
has taken and what
00:47:08.39\00:47:09.53
and said we don't
need to do anymore.
00:47:09.56\00:47:12.24
Bible said "The
law was in his heart."
00:47:12.27\00:47:14.41
I know you've read that in
Isaiah 40:7,8, Hebrews 10:7.
00:47:14.44\00:47:18.93
See in order for
fulfill God's moral code
00:47:18.96\00:47:21.93
His Ten Commandment
law Jesus would have to do
00:47:21.96\00:47:25.80
what it required He
chose to do what it required.
00:47:25.83\00:47:29.98
Hebrews 1:9 God said "That
Jesus loved righteousness."
00:47:30.01\00:47:33.94
How about you today?
00:47:33.97\00:47:36.11
He said "He loved
righteous, He hated iniquity."
00:47:36.14\00:47:38.89
Shouldn't we come to that point
in our Christian experience
00:47:38.92\00:47:41.15
that we love to
do the right thing
00:47:41.18\00:47:42.56
but we don't want
to do the wrong thing?
00:47:42.59\00:47:45.60
We love Him with all of our
heart our soul and our mind.
00:47:45.63\00:47:47.70
You know Jesus
stresses the importance
00:47:47.73\00:47:49.64
of keeping His
law, Matthew 5:19.
00:47:49.67\00:47:51.94
I have heard many
people misquote this
00:47:51.97\00:47:53.89
and then they
come up with an answer
00:47:53.92\00:47:55.47
that we'll talk
about here in just
00:47:55.50\00:47:56.64
and they do it and
in kind of context.
00:47:56.67\00:47:58.44
Jesus said
"Whosoever therefore shall break
00:47:58.47\00:48:00.84
one of the least
of these commandments
00:48:00.87\00:48:02.76
and teach men to do so
shall be called the least
00:48:02.79\00:48:05.93
in the kingdom of heaven.
00:48:05.96\00:48:07.92
But whosoever shall do"
and notice it "and teach them,
00:48:07.95\00:48:11.37
the same shall be called great."
00:48:11.40\00:48:12.93
Jesus said if
you do and you teach
00:48:12.96\00:48:14.59
you're gonna be called great.
00:48:14.62\00:48:15.72
But the others will
be called the least.
00:48:15.75\00:48:17.27
I heard one man say to me well,
00:48:17.30\00:48:18.93
what the Bible
mean about the least?
00:48:18.96\00:48:22.66
I can't really gain
the victories, he said.
00:48:22.69\00:48:24.26
I'm just can't see
defeated all the time
00:48:24.29\00:48:26.04
and I don't know but you
know what as I read that passage
00:48:26.07\00:48:28.76
you said it means
I'm gonna make it.
00:48:28.79\00:48:32.67
Oh, I'm not
going to be the great
00:48:32.70\00:48:33.86
and I am not going
to be the first on in
00:48:33.89\00:48:35.02
but I will be the least anyway.
00:48:35.05\00:48:36.82
You know, what
this verse is clear
00:48:36.85\00:48:39.04
that person who'll have no place
00:48:39.07\00:48:40.73
in the kingdom of
heaven keep this in mind.
00:48:40.76\00:48:44.21
It's not how great the sin
or the act of the disobedience
00:48:44.24\00:48:50.10
that constitutes what sin is.
00:48:50.13\00:48:52.40
But it's the fact
that we have varied
00:48:52.43\00:48:56.47
from God's expressed will
in the least part in His code.
00:48:56.50\00:49:02.15
Interesting, willfully
breaking commandments of God
00:49:02.18\00:49:06.33
shows us that we
still have a communion
00:49:06.36\00:49:08.22
as it were
between the soul and sin.
00:49:08.25\00:49:10.83
We've not eradicated it.
00:49:10.86\00:49:12.40
We don't have the
connection that we need.
00:49:12.43\00:49:15.41
The heart is still divided.
It doesn't know which master.
00:49:15.44\00:49:19.93
It's divided even
in the least of things.
00:49:19.96\00:49:22.89
Paul said in Romans
3:31, Romans 3:31 he says
00:49:22.92\00:49:27.98
"Instead of saying that
the law was done away with"
00:49:28.01\00:49:30.74
he said "strongly that by
faith we establish the law."
00:49:30.77\00:49:36.59
What do you with
those passages of scripture?
00:49:36.62\00:49:38.81
I'm not trying to
cover all those passage
00:49:38.84\00:49:40.37
and maybe you've heard before
00:49:40.40\00:49:41.62
just give you
good food for thought.
00:49:41.65\00:49:43.80
And his own
personal life he said
00:49:43.83\00:49:45.18
something very
interesting in Acts 24:14.
00:49:45.21\00:49:49.25
He said "believing all things
which are written in the law
00:49:49.28\00:49:52.46
and the in the prophets."
00:49:52.49\00:49:54.30
Paul what it is?
00:49:54.33\00:49:55.38
Isn't it interesting
how selective people are
00:49:55.41\00:49:57.02
when it comes to Paul?
00:49:57.05\00:49:58.76
And he says something
that I agree with I say Paul,
00:49:58.79\00:50:00.71
when he says
something that no well.
00:50:00.74\00:50:04.05
He is either
inspired or he was not.
00:50:04.08\00:50:07.13
Jesus said we're going
to be judged by the law
00:50:07.16\00:50:09.55
whosoever still offend in
one point is guilty of all,
00:50:09.58\00:50:12.50
James 2:10-12.
00:50:12.53\00:50:15.67
God's always to be the
standard in the judgment.
00:50:15.70\00:50:19.44
I wonder how many of
you read this passage
00:50:19.47\00:50:21.07
in Revelation 11:18-19
00:50:21.10\00:50:25.12
and had any idea may
not you were reading.
00:50:25.15\00:50:27.98
It speaks about a
time of the wrath of God
00:50:28.01\00:50:30.14
and talks about a time
of judgment of the nations
00:50:30.17\00:50:32.37
and even of the dead.
00:50:32.40\00:50:34.73
Take time to read it all.
00:50:34.76\00:50:36.24
And it says "The temple
of God was opened in heaven,
00:50:36.27\00:50:39.09
and there was
seen in his temple."
00:50:39.12\00:50:40.82
Notice "the ark
of his testament."
00:50:40.85\00:50:43.68
In heaven, heaven
was open and we're seeing
00:50:43.71\00:50:45.36
and it was what the
Ark of his testament.
00:50:45.39\00:50:47.33
Two tables of stone
God's Ten Commandment law,
00:50:47.36\00:50:50.29
God's moral code from the right
00:50:50.32\00:50:52.75
very beginning of
time till the very end.
00:50:52.78\00:50:55.78
Even in heaven notice, the work
of judgment takes place where?
00:50:55.81\00:51:00.08
In the most holy place
of the heavenly sanctuary.
00:51:00.11\00:51:03.72
What's there?
00:51:03.75\00:51:05.22
Oh, the Bible is
real clear on it.
00:51:05.25\00:51:06.95
The Ark of His testament.
The Ten Commandment law.
00:51:06.98\00:51:11.53
The one that will be
used in the judgment.
00:51:11.56\00:51:15.16
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 it
says "I will call heaven
00:51:15.19\00:51:19.87
and earth to record
this day against you
00:51:19.90\00:51:22.98
that I have set
before you life and death."
00:51:23.01\00:51:25.21
Notice this statement he said
I set before you life and what?
00:51:25.24\00:51:28.01
Life and death
"blessings and cursings"
00:51:28.04\00:51:31.64
notice this
"therefore choose life,
00:51:31.67\00:51:36.57
that both thou and
thy seed shall live."
00:51:36.60\00:51:41.14
What a promise that
is made to God's people?
00:51:41.17\00:51:45.26
Choose life that verse goes
on to says that we're to love
00:51:45.29\00:51:51.22
"thou mayest
love the Lord thy God,
00:51:51.25\00:51:54.28
and that thou
mayest obey his voice."
00:51:54.31\00:51:56.31
How many really love God today?
00:51:56.34\00:51:58.74
If you say you're
loving then we're willing
00:51:58.77\00:52:01.06
what all of us to be
obedient to His voice.
00:52:01.09\00:52:04.30
Please don't say
oh, "I love Jesus"
00:52:04.33\00:52:05.98
and then you're not
willing to be obedient.
00:52:06.01\00:52:07.91
Don't say I love Jesus
00:52:07.94\00:52:09.08
and then but we're
gonna change His sayings and--
00:52:09.11\00:52:11.45
don't say we love Jesus
00:52:11.48\00:52:12.51
and we're not willing
to follow in His footsteps.
00:52:12.54\00:52:14.81
Don't say we love
Jesus and we're not willing
00:52:14.84\00:52:16.49
to nigh self take up
the cross and follow Him.
00:52:16.52\00:52:18.88
Don't say we love Jesus
when a job is more important
00:52:18.91\00:52:21.23
than keeping of the Ten
Commandments of the Sabbath.
00:52:21.26\00:52:24.31
Don't say we love our
fellowman when you spend
00:52:24.34\00:52:26.02
no time in doing
anything with your fellowman
00:52:26.05\00:52:27.77
or for your
fellowman as for salvation.
00:52:27.80\00:52:31.67
But let's say quickly,
Calvary has settled the issue.
00:52:31.70\00:52:35.97
Two very, very important points.
00:52:36.00\00:52:38.43
God's law is
eternal, it's unchangeable,
00:52:38.46\00:52:42.77
if we sin that's mean its
transgression of God's love
00:52:42.80\00:52:46.67
even one, break
one it brings death.
00:52:46.70\00:52:50.50
We've all sinned
we all need a Savior
00:52:50.53\00:52:53.57
one who did no sin praise God.
00:52:53.60\00:52:56.08
One to take our place
thank God for His grace,
00:52:56.11\00:53:01.76
thank God for His perfect life
which I have mentioned before
00:53:01.79\00:53:06.94
is not you know
because He's lived that life
00:53:06.97\00:53:09.17
it doesn't permit me
what to knowingly sin.
00:53:09.20\00:53:13.50
Sin brings death
Jesus took my place.
00:53:13.53\00:53:19.04
Praise God for that.
00:53:19.07\00:53:20.56
Two, Calvary
proves that God is what?
00:53:20.59\00:53:22.62
God is love.
00:53:22.65\00:53:23.69
First of all it prove
that law is unchangeable.
00:53:23.72\00:53:25.55
It can't change. It
proves that God is love.
00:53:25.58\00:53:30.29
It proves that
Satan lied against God,
00:53:30.32\00:53:32.24
God's government against
Jesus against His character
00:53:32.27\00:53:36.75
and that thank God
for the Cross of Cavalry.
00:53:36.78\00:53:40.09
Bible said in Revelation
22:14 in the last chapter
00:53:40.12\00:53:42.66
it said "Blessed are they
that do his commandments,"
00:53:42.69\00:53:44.60
that keep his codes, notice
00:53:44.63\00:53:46.19
"that they may have a
right to the tree of life."
00:53:46.22\00:53:49.66
Friend, don't you
want to follow Jesus today?
00:53:49.69\00:53:52.45
Don't you want to have
that right to the tree of life
00:53:52.48\00:53:55.07
then we must be
willing by the grace of God
00:53:55.10\00:53:56.69
to do His commandments.
00:53:56.72\00:53:58.57
We're willing to keep it--
you can't do it on your own.
00:53:58.60\00:54:00.58
But He can empower you
His grace and strength,
00:54:00.61\00:54:03.32
His power, His
mind let it be in us.
00:54:03.35\00:54:07.21
It will enable us to gain
the victories over the enemy.
00:54:07.24\00:54:10.04
I gonna pray for you
right now before we close.
00:54:10.07\00:54:12.84
Those who you may
be this is new to you,
00:54:12.87\00:54:14.37
may be this is still
little bit startling to you
00:54:14.40\00:54:16.10
and it deserves the whole
lot more study I understand.
00:54:16.13\00:54:18.80
But let's pray the Holy
Spirit will take and right
00:54:18.83\00:54:20.49
and use what's been said here
00:54:20.52\00:54:21.85
that will help us to gain a
richer experience with Jesus.
00:54:21.88\00:54:24.78
Let's pray, shall we?
00:54:24.81\00:54:25.95
Father in heaven, thank
you for your precious Word.
00:54:25.98\00:54:27.81
Thank you that You've
spoken to our hearts today.
00:54:27.84\00:54:30.64
There is saying
yesterday, today and forever.
00:54:30.67\00:54:33.13
You have a code its
eternal and we thank You
00:54:33.16\00:54:35.90
for the cross of cavalry
and we thank you for grace,
00:54:35.93\00:54:37.77
now we ask to You
blessed the believers today
00:54:37.80\00:54:39.89
in Jesus name we pray
and for His sake, amen.
00:54:39.92\00:54:44.28
It's been good to
spend some time with you.
00:54:44.31\00:54:45.76
Remember we enjoy
your cards and your letters
00:54:45.79\00:54:48.23
and your phone calls
just keep them coming.
00:54:48.26\00:54:51.03
Some of you have
specific subjects that may be
00:54:51.06\00:54:53.27
you want to cover
you have to write us
00:54:53.30\00:54:55.04
or give us a
call and let us know.
00:54:55.07\00:54:57.03
We thank you also we could
not bring these things to you.
00:54:57.06\00:54:59.33
It was for your love and
your prayers and your support.
00:54:59.36\00:55:02.78
Please by the grace of
God pray about what you can do
00:55:02.81\00:55:05.10
to support the Behold the Lamb
00:55:05.13\00:55:06.18
so we may continue to
bring these timely messages.
00:55:06.21\00:55:08.33
God bless you,
we'll see you next time.
00:55:08.36\00:55:11.86
Welcome back, our
prayer is that you have gained
00:55:11.89\00:55:15.50
greater insight and
wisdom on the subject
00:55:15.53\00:55:18.60
of God's Ten Commandment
law and they all important role
00:55:18.63\00:55:22.81
that it is to play
in each of our lives.
00:55:22.84\00:55:26.12
Think with me for just a moment.
00:55:26.15\00:55:28.15
If indeed it is the
transcript of God's character
00:55:28.18\00:55:31.90
and we're called to
fully reflect God's character
00:55:31.93\00:55:35.76
then would it not
be logical to conclude
00:55:35.79\00:55:38.43
that God's Ten Commandment law
00:55:38.46\00:55:40.32
is to become the
transcript of our characters.
00:55:40.35\00:55:44.49
Should it not be a reflection
of who we are and who we serve
00:55:44.52\00:55:48.68
and show our preparation to
be inhabitant of God's kingdom.
00:55:48.71\00:55:54.46
I think so and as we
have deciphered God's code
00:55:54.49\00:55:58.67
here together we should now
by the aid of the Holy Spirit
00:55:58.70\00:56:03.30
understand that this means all
ten precepts of God's holy love
00:56:03.33\00:56:08.96
in describing the last
conflict between the enemy
00:56:08.99\00:56:12.22
and God's last
or remnant church.
00:56:12.25\00:56:14.83
John identifies God's
people as a people listen,
00:56:14.86\00:56:19.16
who keep the Commandments of God
00:56:19.19\00:56:21.42
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
00:56:21.45\00:56:24.48
You can read this
for yourself look at up
00:56:24.51\00:56:26.41
in the Book of Revelation 12:17.
00:56:26.44\00:56:30.82
Deciphering God's code
should cause each of us
00:56:30.85\00:56:35.05
to examine our
walk with our Savior
00:56:35.08\00:56:37.72
and question whether or
not we're fully following Him
00:56:37.75\00:56:41.48
wither so ever He leads.
00:56:41.51\00:56:43.91
If not shouldn't be
our decision right now
00:56:43.94\00:56:47.82
this very moment to make
all the necessary changes
00:56:47.85\00:56:52.73
and our lives to do just that.
00:56:52.76\00:56:56.57
God, I promise you He
will give you His grace.
00:56:56.60\00:56:59.62
He will give you His
power to accomplish this.
00:56:59.65\00:57:02.52

hope that you want to call in
