Hello and welcome to
Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:00:38.80\00:00:40.94
I'm Chris Shelton your host,
00:00:40.97\00:00:42.40
and I want to
thank you for joining us.
00:00:42.44\00:00:45.37
Today, we will
be studying a topic
00:00:45.41\00:00:47.08
that I know is
vitally important to God.
00:00:47.11\00:00:50.21
How do I know this?
00:00:50.25\00:00:51.78
I know this because He wrote
it with His very own finger
00:00:51.81\00:00:55.82
for all the
inhabitants of our world.
00:00:55.85\00:00:58.25
Today's message
00:00:58.29\00:00:59.62
is program number 18
out of 25 Bible studies
00:00:59.65\00:01:03.93
that we are
producing from this study guide
00:01:03.96\00:01:06.16
that is entitled
00:01:06.19\00:01:07.53
"Sharing God's
Love Makes You Happier,
00:01:07.56\00:01:09.70
What The Bible Says."
00:01:09.73\00:01:11.47
And this study
guide was compiled
00:01:11.50\00:01:13.23
by Brother Richard Bland
of United Prison Ministries.
00:01:13.27\00:01:16.50
You know, this study guide alone
00:01:16.54\00:01:18.47
in and of itself is a
fascinating outreach tool
00:01:18.51\00:01:22.34
that any of us may use
00:01:22.38\00:01:23.95
to share the
truths of God's Word.
00:01:23.98\00:01:26.51
If you were to contact,
00:01:26.55\00:01:28.18
if you were to call
United Prison Ministries
00:01:28.22\00:01:30.72
and order one box
00:01:30.75\00:01:32.45
of 100 of these
study guides for $100,
00:01:32.49\00:01:36.19
that would enable
you to place 25 studies,
00:01:36.22\00:01:40.73
25 different topics
00:01:40.76\00:01:42.86
into a person's
hand for just $1 each.
00:01:42.90\00:01:46.27
Yes, there are 25 studies
contained in this one booklet,
00:01:46.30\00:01:50.41
and all 25
lessons are solely studied
00:01:50.44\00:01:53.91
from the scripture alone.
00:01:53.94\00:01:55.94
Then,
00:01:55.98\00:01:57.31
if you add 25 hours of sermons,
00:01:57.35\00:01:59.81
which we're doing on each topic,
00:01:59.85\00:02:02.62
now, you may hold
Bibles lessons in your home,
00:02:02.65\00:02:05.79
Bible studies in the church
00:02:05.82\00:02:07.72
or share your DVDs
with family and friends,
00:02:07.76\00:02:10.89
and make these lessons
even more powerfully understood
00:02:10.93\00:02:14.70
that maybe what
they might get alone
00:02:14.73\00:02:16.73
from this study guide.
00:02:16.77\00:02:18.37
But now back to
today's important topic.
00:02:18.40\00:02:21.50
It is entitled
00:02:21.54\00:02:22.90
"God's Own Handwriting,
The Ten Commandments."
00:02:22.94\00:02:26.71
Today, we have the
privilege of studying
00:02:26.74\00:02:29.38
how God's Ten
Commandment law was given to us
00:02:29.41\00:02:32.95
and why these 10 precepts
00:02:32.98\00:02:34.95
are so very important
for each and every one of us
00:02:34.98\00:02:38.45
to thoroughly
understand and to live by.
00:02:38.49\00:02:41.46
This is a study that
you don't want to miss.
00:02:41.49\00:02:44.29
But first we're
blessed to visit 3ABN
00:02:44.33\00:02:46.73
and listen to a
powerful rendition
00:02:46.76\00:02:49.03
of "Find Us Faithful"
00:02:49.06\00:02:51.00
as sung by Alessandra Sorace.
00:02:51.03\00:02:54.20
We're pilgrims on the journey
00:03:10.25\00:03:13.82
Of the narrow road
00:03:13.86\00:03:17.63
And those who've gone before us
00:03:17.66\00:03:20.73
Line the way
00:03:20.76\00:03:25.60
Cheering on the faithful
00:03:25.63\00:03:29.07
Encouraging the weary
00:03:29.10\00:03:32.77
Their lives a stirring testament
00:03:32.81\00:03:36.54
To God's sustaining grace
00:03:36.58\00:03:42.35
Surrounded by so great
00:03:42.38\00:03:45.09
A cloud of witnesses
00:03:45.12\00:03:49.52
Let us run the race
00:03:49.56\00:03:51.59
Not only for the prize
00:03:51.63\00:03:57.17
But as those
who've gone before us
00:03:57.20\00:04:00.74
Let us leave to those behind us
00:04:00.77\00:04:04.84
The heritage of faithfulness
00:04:04.87\00:04:08.54
Passed on thru godly
00:04:08.58\00:04:11.11
lives
00:04:11.15\00:04:17.45
O may all who come behind us
00:04:17.49\00:04:21.42
Find us faithful
00:04:21.46\00:04:25.53
May the fire of our devotion
00:04:25.56\00:04:29.00
Light their way
00:04:29.03\00:04:33.10
May the footprints that we leave
00:04:33.13\00:04:37.24
Lead them to believe
00:04:37.27\00:04:40.68
And the lives we live
00:04:40.71\00:04:42.64
Inspire them to obey
00:04:42.68\00:04:47.45
O may all who come behind us
00:04:47.48\00:04:51.62
Find us faithful
00:04:51.65\00:04:55.82
After all our hopes and dreams
00:05:03.70\00:05:07.70
Have come and gone
00:05:07.74\00:05:11.34
And our children sift thru all
00:05:11.37\00:05:14.34
We've left behind
00:05:14.38\00:05:18.61
May the clues that they discover
00:05:18.65\00:05:22.38
And the memories they uncover
00:05:22.42\00:05:26.52
Become the light that leads them
00:05:26.55\00:05:30.03
To the road we each must find
00:05:30.06\00:05:35.33
O may all who come behind us
00:05:35.36\00:05:39.27
Find us faithful
00:05:39.30\00:05:43.41
May the fire of our devotion
00:05:43.44\00:05:46.78
Light their way
00:05:46.81\00:05:50.88
May the footprints that we leave
00:05:50.91\00:05:54.98
Lead them to believe
00:05:55.02\00:05:58.32
And the lives we live
00:05:58.35\00:06:00.46
Inspire them to obey
00:06:00.49\00:06:06.16
O may all who come behind us
00:06:09.43\00:06:13.57
Find us faithful
00:06:13.60\00:06:18.11
May the fire of our devotion
00:06:18.14\00:06:21.14
Light their way
00:06:21.18\00:06:25.41
May the footprints that we leave
00:06:25.45\00:06:29.35
Lead them to believe
00:06:29.38\00:06:32.79
And the lives we live
00:06:32.82\00:06:34.69
Inspire them to obey
00:06:34.72\00:06:39.76
O may all who come behind us
00:06:39.79\00:06:43.70
Find us faithful
00:06:43.73\00:06:48.77
O may all who come behind us
00:06:51.81\00:06:57.05
Find us
00:06:57.08\00:07:02.95
Faithful
00:07:02.98\00:07:05.89
Faithful
00:07:05.92\00:07:12.89
Thanks for joining us once again
00:07:16.46\00:07:17.80
here at Behold the Lamb.
00:07:17.83\00:07:19.17
Today we have a very,
very important subject
00:07:19.20\00:07:21.60
and again may be old
news for many of you,
00:07:21.64\00:07:24.47
but it's gonna be
some new things for people
00:07:24.51\00:07:26.68
who have never
studied this subject.
00:07:26.71\00:07:28.68
We're gonna be
looking about something
00:07:28.71\00:07:30.85
that God wrote
with His own fingers,
00:07:30.88\00:07:33.28
think about that,
00:07:33.31\00:07:34.65
God's own handwriting,
00:07:34.68\00:07:36.52
the Ten Commandments.
00:07:36.55\00:07:38.29
And I just assume
00:07:38.32\00:07:40.42
that if God took
time to write them
00:07:40.46\00:07:42.42
with His own finger,
00:07:42.46\00:07:43.79
that it must be very important.
00:07:43.83\00:07:45.16
How about you?
00:07:45.19\00:07:46.53
And so we want to
look at this subject
00:07:46.56\00:07:47.90
as quickly as we can today
00:07:47.93\00:07:49.96
in the Word of God
00:07:50.00\00:07:51.33
and just really,
just ask this question
00:07:51.37\00:07:52.73
before we have prayer is,
00:07:52.77\00:07:54.57
are the Ten
Commandments still binding?
00:07:54.60\00:07:57.11
I think that's really
what the subject really was it
00:07:57.14\00:07:59.21
goes into today.
00:07:59.24\00:08:00.61
Are the Ten
Commandments still binding?
00:08:00.64\00:08:03.61
And if they are, certainly
they'll lead to other studies.
00:08:03.65\00:08:05.58
But right now, I'm gonna ask you
00:08:05.61\00:08:06.95
to kneel with
me, we pray together.
00:08:06.98\00:08:08.32
Shall we pray?
00:08:08.35\00:08:11.85
Merciful Father in heaven,
00:08:11.89\00:08:13.22
again, we thank
You for the privilege
00:08:13.25\00:08:14.82
that we have today
to look at this message
00:08:14.86\00:08:18.13
and to be able to
open the bread of life
00:08:18.16\00:08:19.86
and to be able
to find the answers
00:08:19.89\00:08:21.33
that You've left for us.
00:08:21.36\00:08:23.23
We pray in a special
way for each and every one,
00:08:23.26\00:08:25.77
those who are here
00:08:25.80\00:08:27.14
and those who are with
pay-per-view will listen.
00:08:27.17\00:08:30.04
And that we
pray Your Holy Spirit
00:08:30.07\00:08:31.64
will take possession of
each and every one of us.
00:08:31.67\00:08:33.84
Open our hearts,
our minds, our lives,
00:08:33.88\00:08:35.88
may we receive
that which You have
00:08:35.91\00:08:37.31
for us today.
00:08:37.35\00:08:38.68
We thank You for the
power of the Holy Spirit,
00:08:38.71\00:08:40.45
we invite the
spirit now in Jesus' name.
00:08:40.48\00:08:42.58
Amen.
00:08:42.62\00:08:44.75
Again, if you have
your pencil and paper,
00:08:44.79\00:08:46.12
be sure to jot some of
these down as we're moving.
00:08:46.15\00:08:48.39
We say it every time
move quickly as we can,
00:08:48.42\00:08:50.49
there's so much material,
00:08:50.53\00:08:51.86
and I'm sure we
won't get through it,
00:08:51.89\00:08:53.23
but we're going
to make an attempt
00:08:53.26\00:08:54.63
to get through this,
00:08:54.66\00:08:56.00
God's own handwriting,
the Ten Commandments.
00:08:56.03\00:08:58.83
You know, I think,
00:08:58.87\00:09:00.20
good point I was in
the service for two years,
00:09:00.24\00:09:02.70
and I never really
claimed to be a good soldier
00:09:02.74\00:09:04.71
but, you know,
what really qualifies
00:09:04.74\00:09:07.68
a good soldier is to be obedient
00:09:07.71\00:09:09.91
to the commands
that you are given.
00:09:09.94\00:09:11.65
So no soldier can be
said to follow his commander
00:09:11.68\00:09:15.12
unless he obeys the commands.
00:09:15.15\00:09:18.65
You can't be a good soldier
unless you obey the commander.
00:09:18.69\00:09:21.99
And so in our lesson
today, we look at it.
00:09:22.02\00:09:24.63
I want you to have your Bible,
00:09:24.66\00:09:25.99
and I want you to turn with me,
00:09:26.03\00:09:28.13
maybe just jot down
00:09:28.16\00:09:29.50
because we're
gonna go just as quickly
00:09:29.53\00:09:30.87
as we can with this,
00:09:30.90\00:09:32.53
to 1 John 3:4.
00:09:32.57\00:09:35.40
This is one of the first things
00:09:35.44\00:09:36.77
that we want to
put out here for us
00:09:36.81\00:09:38.51
and then we're going to
be, going to 1 John Chapter 2.
00:09:38.54\00:09:41.34
So get your Bibles and turn
as quickly as you can there.
00:09:41.38\00:09:44.38
We're going to be
reading 1 John Chapter 2.
00:09:44.41\00:09:47.38
And I'm gonna turn here in
my Bible and get them ready
00:09:47.42\00:09:49.38
because as we go down this list
00:09:49.42\00:09:52.25
of God speaking to us,
00:09:52.29\00:09:53.76
I know it'd be an
encouragement to you.
00:09:53.79\00:09:56.16
We're gonna look at here
00:09:56.19\00:09:57.53
if I can find it
myself in 1 John Chapter 2.
00:09:57.56\00:10:03.20
These are very familiar passage
of scripture, by the way,
00:10:03.23\00:10:06.03
and it's nothing new for you.
00:10:06.07\00:10:08.70
But I think it's
gonna be a real blessing,
00:10:08.74\00:10:10.54
I know that's going to be.
00:10:10.57\00:10:12.07
And we're going to
read verses, let's see 3-6.
00:10:12.11\00:10:16.95
Okay, 3-6.
00:10:16.98\00:10:18.35
Notice what the Bible said,
00:10:18.38\00:10:19.71
let's read this before
we do the other passage.
00:10:19.75\00:10:21.58
1 John Chapter 2,
we're gonna read verses 3-6.
00:10:21.62\00:10:25.85
It says, "Hereby we
do know that we know him,
00:10:25.89\00:10:28.59
if we keep His commandments."
00:10:28.62\00:10:31.09
How simple is
this? How simple is this?
00:10:31.13\00:10:34.30
Notice, Bible says,
00:10:34.33\00:10:35.66
and hereby we do
know that we what?
00:10:35.70\00:10:38.63
We know Him.
00:10:38.67\00:10:40.00
If you say you know Him,
00:10:40.04\00:10:41.64
then the Bible says,
00:10:41.67\00:10:43.30
you know Him if we
keep His commandments.
00:10:43.34\00:10:45.81
So if we don't
keep His commandments,
00:10:45.84\00:10:47.18
then we really
don't know Him I guess.
00:10:47.21\00:10:49.14
Notice how it reads on,
00:10:49.18\00:10:50.51
"He that saith, I know Him,
00:10:50.55\00:10:51.88
and keepeth not His
commandments, is" what?
00:10:51.91\00:10:54.58
"He is a liar, and
the truth is not in him."
00:10:54.62\00:10:58.05
If you say what now?
00:10:58.09\00:11:00.69
You say I know Him.
00:11:00.72\00:11:02.42
If you say I know Him,
00:11:02.46\00:11:03.79
everybody here
everybody that sounds a voice,
00:11:03.83\00:11:05.93
most, everybody
will say I know Him.
00:11:05.96\00:11:09.06
But there'll be a
little different outcome
00:11:09.10\00:11:10.50
at the end if we're not careful.
00:11:10.53\00:11:11.87
If you say you know Him,
00:11:11.90\00:11:13.23
and you keep not
His commandments,
00:11:13.27\00:11:15.24
it makes you a liar,
00:11:15.27\00:11:16.64
and the truth is not in you.
00:11:16.67\00:11:18.54
And we're talking
about all ten, aren't we?
00:11:18.57\00:11:21.38
And Bible goes
on to say, verse 5,
00:11:21.41\00:11:23.38
"Whoso keepeth his word,
00:11:23.41\00:11:25.25
in him verily
00:11:25.28\00:11:26.61
is the love of God perfected:
00:11:26.65\00:11:28.88
hereby know we
that we are in him."
00:11:28.92\00:11:31.45
Notice, but whosoever do what?
00:11:31.49\00:11:33.76
Who keepeth His word,
00:11:33.79\00:11:36.62
verily is the
love of God perfected.
00:11:36.66\00:11:39.16
Verse 6,
00:11:39.19\00:11:40.53
"He that saith he abideth in Him
00:11:40.56\00:11:42.73
ought himself also so to
walk, even as He walked."
00:11:42.76\00:11:46.94
Jesus is what?
00:11:46.97\00:11:48.40
Jesus is our example,
00:11:48.44\00:11:49.77
so we are safe to follow
in His footsteps, aren't we?
00:11:49.80\00:11:52.71
So we need to be careful,
if we say we're Christian,
00:11:52.74\00:11:54.58
we say we love Jesus,
00:11:54.61\00:11:55.94
we say we follow
Jesus that we love Him.
00:11:55.98\00:11:58.15
Then Bible simply
says we will keep what?
00:11:58.18\00:12:00.95
His command.
00:12:00.98\00:12:02.32
This is not a
denomination, this is not...
00:12:02.35\00:12:03.92
this group says what,
00:12:03.95\00:12:05.29
the Bible says,
00:12:05.32\00:12:06.65
Jesus says,
00:12:06.69\00:12:08.02
"If you love Me, you
will keep My commandments."
00:12:08.06\00:12:10.69
So notice that,
00:12:10.73\00:12:12.06
the Apostle Paul goes into
00:12:12.09\00:12:13.60
or Apostle John
writes in 1 John 3:4,
00:12:13.63\00:12:16.90
this is very familiar.
00:12:16.93\00:12:18.27
In 1 John 3:4,
00:12:18.30\00:12:19.63
he just gives a
definition here of sin.
00:12:19.67\00:12:21.94
Says, "Sin is" what?
00:12:21.97\00:12:23.87
"The
transgression of God's law."
00:12:23.91\00:12:27.24
Believe it or not,
many people do not know,
00:12:27.28\00:12:29.08
that's the only,
00:12:29.11\00:12:30.45
you know,
definition there is for sin,
00:12:30.48\00:12:32.81
transgression of God's law.
00:12:32.85\00:12:36.18
And then Paul the Apostle,
00:12:36.22\00:12:38.05
he declared, you know,
00:12:38.09\00:12:39.42
"Where no law
is, there is," what?
00:12:39.45\00:12:42.12
"There is no transgression."
00:12:42.16\00:12:44.09
Romans 4:15.
00:12:44.13\00:12:46.53
So put the two things
together as we can here today,
00:12:46.56\00:12:50.13
Apostle John wrote sin is what?
00:12:50.17\00:12:53.34
Transgression of the law.
00:12:53.37\00:12:54.90
Paul comes along and says,
00:12:54.94\00:12:56.34
if there is no law,
00:12:56.37\00:12:58.17
there is no sin.
00:12:58.21\00:13:00.38
And yet the majority
of the world says what?
00:13:00.41\00:13:02.98
We don't have to
keep God's law anymore.
00:13:03.01\00:13:04.55
The Ten Commandments,
we don't have to keep them.
00:13:04.58\00:13:06.41
Well, the Bible is very clear,
00:13:06.45\00:13:07.78
if there is no law,
then there is no sin.
00:13:07.82\00:13:09.78
Interesting.
00:13:09.82\00:13:11.15
Now, and then,
00:13:11.19\00:13:12.52
so what is the
purpose then of the law?
00:13:12.55\00:13:14.86
The Bible simply
said very quickly here,
00:13:14.89\00:13:16.62
Romans 3:20,
00:13:16.66\00:13:18.16
"For by the law," what?
00:13:18.19\00:13:20.10
"Is the knowledge of sin."
00:13:20.13\00:13:22.83
So the law
simply points out what?
00:13:22.86\00:13:25.07
What sin is?
00:13:25.10\00:13:26.43
Aren't you glad
we have something
00:13:26.47\00:13:27.80
that points out what is bad,
00:13:27.84\00:13:30.21
what their sin.
00:13:30.24\00:13:31.57
I'm so thankful
we know what sin is.
00:13:31.61\00:13:33.91
So if we want to
know what sin is,
00:13:33.94\00:13:36.51
then we have to say,
well, there must be a law
00:13:36.54\00:13:39.05
and that law must be binding.
00:13:39.08\00:13:40.92
And that means
all ten is binding.
00:13:40.95\00:13:43.79
So just according to a
couple of verses there,
00:13:43.82\00:13:46.45
again, one biblical
definition of what sin is.
00:13:46.49\00:13:49.62
And the other simply tells
us quickly here about the law.
00:13:49.66\00:13:52.83
It says where there
is no law, there's what?
00:13:52.86\00:13:54.93
There is no sin.
00:13:54.96\00:13:56.56
So if people are
preaching and teaching today
00:13:56.60\00:13:59.13
that God's law
is done away with,
00:13:59.17\00:14:01.74
then you can do really
anything you want to do.
00:14:01.77\00:14:04.44
Isn't that right?
00:14:04.47\00:14:05.81
The Bible says,
if there is no law,
00:14:05.84\00:14:07.58
there's what?
00:14:07.61\00:14:09.24
There is no sin, so
it either is binding,
00:14:09.28\00:14:11.68
or it's not binding.
00:14:11.71\00:14:13.38
Now again, we can go into
a lot of different you know,
00:14:13.42\00:14:15.45
a subject matter here
about all the commandments
00:14:15.48\00:14:17.92
and go this is not the
purpose of this study today.
00:14:17.95\00:14:20.76
The purpose of
it is the binding,
00:14:20.79\00:14:22.96
are the Ten
Commandments really binding.
00:14:22.99\00:14:25.89
And we have to look at it
so based upon the Word of God.
00:14:25.93\00:14:29.06
And when I say
binding commandments,
00:14:29.10\00:14:30.70
I'm not talking
about a shortcut,
00:14:30.73\00:14:32.83
which some people
take and say nine are.
00:14:32.87\00:14:35.54
Do you get it? Yes.
00:14:35.57\00:14:38.07
How many
commandments are there then?
00:14:38.11\00:14:40.04
Well, we know there's ten
00:14:40.08\00:14:41.71
but many people
will abide by nine,
00:14:41.74\00:14:43.81
but they will
not abide by all ten?
00:14:43.85\00:14:46.25
How could we do that
00:14:46.28\00:14:48.18
when God wrote
these with His own finger
00:14:48.22\00:14:50.59
and said this is it?
00:14:50.62\00:14:51.95
This tells you
what transgression is.
00:14:51.99\00:14:54.26
This tells you what sin is,
00:14:54.29\00:14:56.83
right?
00:14:56.86\00:14:58.19
That's all the function
of the Ten Commandment law
00:14:58.23\00:15:00.20
is to point out what sin is.
00:15:00.23\00:15:02.16
It doesn't save you,
we're not looking at that.
00:15:02.20\00:15:04.57
We're looking
at, I want to know.
00:15:04.60\00:15:06.47
When I grew up at home,
00:15:06.50\00:15:07.84
I kind of wanted to
know the rules, didn't you?
00:15:07.87\00:15:10.01
If you didn't know the rules,
you learn them rather quickly
00:15:10.04\00:15:12.54
and sometime the hard way.
00:15:12.57\00:15:14.21
So you knew how far you could go
00:15:14.24\00:15:16.01
and when you shouldn't go.
00:15:16.04\00:15:17.68
Now, so, you know,
00:15:17.71\00:15:19.05
as Matthew 22:40 simply says,
00:15:19.08\00:15:22.85
because we live in such a world,
00:15:22.88\00:15:25.72
that it seems
like there is no law,
00:15:25.75\00:15:27.99
it seemed like there
is no right and wrong.
00:15:28.02\00:15:29.96
I think most of you realize
00:15:29.99\00:15:31.39
it's such a
condition that, you know,
00:15:31.43\00:15:33.96
such as our duty to God,
and then our duty to what?
00:15:34.00\00:15:37.73
Our fellow man.
00:15:37.77\00:15:39.10
It's like, we don't
even know that anymore
00:15:39.13\00:15:41.34
but in Matthew 22:40,
00:15:41.37\00:15:44.01
the Bible is very clear,
it says, "On these two," what?
00:15:44.04\00:15:47.51
"On these two hang all the law
00:15:47.54\00:15:50.31
and the prophets."
00:15:50.35\00:15:52.51
So that law, they hang on there,
00:15:52.55\00:15:54.12
and the first what?
00:15:54.15\00:15:55.48
Four is our duty to whom?
00:15:55.52\00:15:57.29
To God, and the last
six is our duty to mankind.
00:15:57.32\00:16:00.99
So there's that... I
mean, it just falls in it.
00:16:01.02\00:16:02.99
There are Ten of them there
00:16:03.02\00:16:04.49
that we're going
to be dealing with.
00:16:04.53\00:16:06.26
Now let's go back just
a little bit to creation,
00:16:06.29\00:16:09.13
if you allow me to
go back to creation.
00:16:09.16\00:16:10.73
Now remember, just
a few little passages
00:16:10.77\00:16:13.87
that we already looked at.
00:16:13.90\00:16:15.60
That ought to cause a little bit
00:16:15.64\00:16:17.04
of people to be concerned
00:16:17.07\00:16:18.41
who is saying
00:16:18.44\00:16:19.77
we're no longer
on the obligation
00:16:19.81\00:16:21.14
to keep God's
Ten Commandment law.
00:16:21.18\00:16:23.38
Because those who say it...
00:16:23.41\00:16:24.75
Bible says, if
you don't know Him,
00:16:24.78\00:16:26.11
you're liar and
truth is not in you.
00:16:26.15\00:16:27.48
So no one wants to say,
00:16:27.52\00:16:28.85
well, no, we're
not a liar, for sure.
00:16:28.88\00:16:30.85
And we realized that
where we know no law is,
00:16:30.89\00:16:33.69
there is no transgression.
00:16:33.72\00:16:35.19
So we know there's transgression
00:16:35.22\00:16:37.43
and so we know there
must be a law then in effect.
00:16:37.46\00:16:41.20
So let's go back to
creation just a minute to,
00:16:41.23\00:16:43.43
and I'll do
this here to get back
00:16:43.47\00:16:45.57
maybe with a
children's story today,
00:16:45.60\00:16:47.17
go back to the animal world.
00:16:47.20\00:16:49.17
We go back to the animal world.
00:16:49.20\00:16:51.97
Think about it with me.
00:16:52.01\00:16:53.91
Inferior creation,
00:16:53.94\00:16:56.01
I believe that the animal
world is an inferior creation
00:16:56.04\00:16:59.08
and it works by instinct.
00:16:59.11\00:17:01.78
Do we get that?
00:17:01.82\00:17:03.15
It works about,
there're dogs, cats,
00:17:03.18\00:17:04.95
whatever animals
they work by instinct,
00:17:04.99\00:17:07.19
subject to rules, and force,
00:17:07.22\00:17:10.53
which control them.
00:17:10.56\00:17:11.89
I want that to make sense to you
00:17:11.93\00:17:13.83
'cause you'll
see as we move along.
00:17:13.86\00:17:16.33
Then we come to
man and creation.
00:17:16.36\00:17:18.53
Man was made what?
00:17:18.57\00:17:20.34
Free.
00:17:20.37\00:17:21.70
Man was made free, right?
00:17:21.74\00:17:23.07
Freedom of
choice, he can choose.
00:17:23.10\00:17:27.04
He has a brain, right?
00:17:27.08\00:17:28.51
He has a higher
account he must give to God,
00:17:28.54\00:17:31.15
because the way
that God made man.
00:17:31.18\00:17:33.98
So God made man then,
00:17:34.02\00:17:35.62
notice this, subject to law.
00:17:35.65\00:17:39.12
He didn't make
animals subject to law.
00:17:39.15\00:17:41.79
The animals work by instinct.
00:17:41.82\00:17:44.79
And other people say,
"Well, they do a lot more
00:17:44.83\00:17:46.36
and maybe they do
whatever the basic instinct, "
00:17:46.39\00:17:48.66
but there're
still rules, you see,
00:17:48.70\00:17:51.10
and there're still forces
00:17:51.13\00:17:52.87
which help them to
decide what they do.
00:17:52.90\00:17:55.34
But God came along, gave
man the ability to think,
00:17:55.37\00:17:58.07
the power of choice.
00:17:58.11\00:18:00.48
For instance, Isaiah 7:15
00:18:00.51\00:18:03.41
is interesting passage,
00:18:03.45\00:18:04.78
it simply say, 15.
00:18:04.81\00:18:06.15
Isaiah 7:15.
00:18:06.18\00:18:07.52
It says, "Refuse
evil, and choose good."
00:18:07.55\00:18:11.85
Is that a choice?
00:18:11.89\00:18:14.02
The choice is,
right, evil comes along,
00:18:14.06\00:18:15.99
you can look at it,
00:18:16.02\00:18:17.36
you can choose
it if you want to,
00:18:17.39\00:18:18.73
if not, you discard it.
00:18:18.76\00:18:20.10
But God said, "I want you
to choose that which is good."
00:18:20.13\00:18:22.63
He doesn't make you do it,
00:18:22.66\00:18:24.00
but He wants you to choose that.
00:18:24.03\00:18:25.93
And then Deuteronomy 30:19,
00:18:25.97\00:18:28.47
the Bible says
simply, "Choose life."
00:18:28.50\00:18:31.61
So praise God, we have, right,
00:18:31.64\00:18:33.07
the ability God has given to man
00:18:33.11\00:18:34.98
that we may choose
life, and we may have life,
00:18:35.01\00:18:38.21
and we may have it more
abundantly, notice that.
00:18:38.25\00:18:42.15
So remember, by creation,
00:18:42.18\00:18:44.35
there's a point here, notice,
00:18:44.39\00:18:45.95
by creation man
is subject to law.
00:18:45.99\00:18:49.66
I didn't say the
law at this point.
00:18:49.69\00:18:51.23
I said, he's subject to what?
00:18:51.26\00:18:53.09
To law.
00:18:53.13\00:18:55.00
Without it
00:18:55.03\00:18:56.36
how can any progress be made
00:18:56.40\00:18:58.23
actually toward God?
00:18:58.27\00:19:00.54
Man broke God's law, man failed.
00:19:00.57\00:19:04.37
God had a plan.
00:19:04.41\00:19:05.97
God is what?
00:19:06.01\00:19:07.34
Is love.
00:19:07.38\00:19:08.71
He had a plan to call us back
00:19:08.74\00:19:10.65
a purpose.
00:19:10.68\00:19:12.01
God had still yet for mankind.
00:19:12.05\00:19:14.62
He wanted man to
choose to serve Him.
00:19:14.65\00:19:17.62
He wanted to give
him another opportunity
00:19:17.65\00:19:19.75
and another chance
00:19:19.79\00:19:21.12
to continue to
develop the character.
00:19:21.16\00:19:24.33
So that would be like God,
00:19:24.36\00:19:26.76
because we were created
in the likeness of what?
00:19:26.80\00:19:29.66
In the likeness of God.
00:19:29.70\00:19:32.50
Wouldn't this
world, think about it?
00:19:32.53\00:19:34.47
Wouldn't this world be a mess
00:19:34.50\00:19:36.54
without laws and without rules?
00:19:36.57\00:19:39.94
Mine is why is it?
00:19:39.97\00:19:41.31
I don't hear... I've
never heard I don't think.
00:19:41.34\00:19:43.18
Well, maybe some...
00:19:43.21\00:19:44.55
They complain
00:19:44.58\00:19:45.91
because when you go
to a game of any kind,
00:19:45.95\00:19:48.05
you play games, you go here,
00:19:48.08\00:19:49.42
you go there, you go by,
00:19:49.45\00:19:50.79
no one complains
about there's rules.
00:19:50.82\00:19:52.62
I mean, there's rules
when you go into a restaurant.
00:19:52.65\00:19:54.96
You don't take
your shoes and socks off
00:19:54.99\00:19:56.49
or your shirt
off, there's rules.
00:19:56.52\00:19:57.86
No one really complains
about any of those rules,
00:19:57.89\00:20:00.70
we never
complained, we sat down, say,
00:20:00.73\00:20:02.36
we're gonna play a
little game over here.
00:20:02.40\00:20:04.17
The first thing I
say, what's the rules?
00:20:04.20\00:20:08.44
See in the
church no one ever says
00:20:08.47\00:20:09.97
well, what's the rules?
00:20:10.01\00:20:11.34
What kind of
rules does God have?
00:20:11.37\00:20:12.71
It just sound like
a dirty, ugly word.
00:20:12.74\00:20:14.34
It's not.
00:20:14.38\00:20:15.91
What kind of a
world would this be
00:20:15.94\00:20:17.55
if we didn't
have rules, and laws,
00:20:17.58\00:20:19.51
and regulations,
00:20:19.55\00:20:21.28
which really apply to
everything that we do.
00:20:21.32\00:20:24.49
Can you figure out anything
00:20:24.52\00:20:25.85
that maybe there's
not some kind of rule,
00:20:25.89\00:20:28.86
some kind of a regulation,
00:20:28.89\00:20:30.73
the way that it operates,
and so on and so forth.
00:20:30.76\00:20:33.73
I mean there's rules
00:20:33.76\00:20:35.10
to riding on a
tractor too, a lawnmower,
00:20:35.13\00:20:39.07
power nailer,
whatever might there's rule,
00:20:39.10\00:20:40.87
this is what you do.
00:20:40.90\00:20:43.71
And no one seems to get upset,
00:20:43.74\00:20:45.41
except when it comes
to something God wrote
00:20:45.44\00:20:47.14
with His own finger,
00:20:47.18\00:20:48.51
we wanna challenge that
00:20:48.54\00:20:49.88
and I guarantee you,
the enemy's behind it
00:20:49.91\00:20:51.98
because he wants
to challenge God.
00:20:52.01\00:20:55.32
We need something
00:20:55.35\00:20:56.89
that will help us to
know right and wrong.
00:20:56.92\00:21:00.79
We need that,
00:21:00.82\00:21:02.16
because there's too
many deciding for themselves.
00:21:02.19\00:21:05.06
We need...
00:21:05.09\00:21:06.43
I've already said
many times a moral compass,
00:21:06.46\00:21:09.50
a moral compass to put
us in the right direction.
00:21:09.53\00:21:13.40
Now remember, there can be
00:21:13.44\00:21:15.07
no order in our government,
00:21:15.10\00:21:18.01
there can be no
order in our society
00:21:18.04\00:21:21.34
without, notice this,
without accepted laws.
00:21:21.38\00:21:25.65
And you can have
millions of other laws,
00:21:25.68\00:21:27.32
it doesn't mean
everything's going
00:21:27.35\00:21:28.68
to go hunky-dory.
00:21:28.72\00:21:30.05
Are you with me?
00:21:30.09\00:21:31.42
But you can have
no orderly government.
00:21:31.45\00:21:33.02
You cannot have orderly society.
00:21:33.05\00:21:34.86
You cannot have
order in the church,
00:21:34.89\00:21:37.19
unless there are some
rules and regulations,
00:21:37.23\00:21:39.73
or accepted laws.
00:21:39.76\00:21:42.30
You have to accept
that they're first,
00:21:42.33\00:21:44.33
and say this is
what we want to do.
00:21:44.37\00:21:47.50
Man can, you know,
man can't run a business,
00:21:47.54\00:21:50.57
you can't play a game,
00:21:50.61\00:21:53.21
if you don't have
any of these rules.
00:21:53.24\00:21:56.11
Things are measured in
this world, aren't they?
00:21:56.14\00:21:59.48
Things are
measured, things are weighed,
00:21:59.51\00:22:02.68
things are put in pints,
00:22:02.72\00:22:04.95
things are put into courts,
00:22:04.99\00:22:07.56
and gallons, and bushels.
00:22:07.59\00:22:09.76
Are you still with me?
00:22:09.79\00:22:11.13
And then and then
dollar value is put on it.
00:22:11.16\00:22:16.43
You know, in a gallon
you have to have so much and.
00:22:16.46\00:22:18.20
of course, you
have to have so...
00:22:18.23\00:22:19.57
Nobody really fights that.
00:22:19.60\00:22:21.80
Interesting.
00:22:21.84\00:22:24.67
If mankind is to live
together in this world,
00:22:24.71\00:22:28.38
and in the world to come,
00:22:28.41\00:22:30.55
we've got to get along in peace,
00:22:30.58\00:22:33.11
and certainly in harmony.
00:22:33.15\00:22:34.92
Think about it.
00:22:34.95\00:22:36.28
But in order to do that,
00:22:36.32\00:22:37.65
there must be rules.
00:22:37.69\00:22:40.92
I mean, can you remember each
as a young child we used to...
00:22:40.96\00:22:43.26
We call it shoot marbles...
00:22:43.29\00:22:46.09
For better I guess, I've
got what it's called but marble.
00:22:46.13\00:22:49.50
You draw a circle,
00:22:49.53\00:22:51.20
and you put your
marble, anybody remember that.
00:22:51.23\00:22:53.54
We call them the cat eyes
00:22:53.57\00:22:54.90
and all the pretty
little marbles into there,
00:22:54.94\00:22:56.44
you'd have the bigger
one, the shooting taw.
00:22:56.47\00:22:58.87
You know, and
everybody would get around,
00:22:58.91\00:23:00.24
you try to shoot out the marble
00:23:00.28\00:23:01.61
and you can keep them the most.
00:23:01.64\00:23:03.31
But there was rules,
00:23:03.35\00:23:04.68
you couldn't just go in there
00:23:04.71\00:23:06.05
and decide you're
going to get crossed
00:23:06.08\00:23:07.42
that line and get in there
and just take what you wanted.
00:23:07.45\00:23:10.25
There were certain rules.
00:23:10.29\00:23:13.05
We used to play one rules
00:23:13.09\00:23:14.42
that had on there
that used to call...
00:23:14.46\00:23:16.02
Something like mumble peg.
00:23:16.06\00:23:17.39
Is it what...
00:23:17.43\00:23:18.76
Does anybody, you wouldn't...
00:23:18.79\00:23:20.13
You couldn't get
away with that today,
00:23:20.16\00:23:21.50
you have a big knife.
00:23:21.53\00:23:22.86
Are you still with me?
00:23:22.90\00:23:24.23
And you stand on,
you face your buddy
00:23:24.27\00:23:25.60
and he's got a
knife in his hands,
00:23:25.63\00:23:26.97
and you look down at his feet
00:23:27.00\00:23:28.34
and you throw it
down and stick in a ground
00:23:28.37\00:23:29.70
and he has to put
his foot over to that.
00:23:29.74\00:23:31.97
So you try to get them...
00:23:32.01\00:23:33.34
You know, get through out
00:23:33.38\00:23:34.71
where they
can't stretch anymore.
00:23:34.74\00:23:36.08
Isn't that interesting,
00:23:36.11\00:23:37.45
and he would throw
his on the other side,
00:23:37.48\00:23:38.81
and you stretch
and you just don't...
00:23:38.85\00:23:40.18
You know, there was time,
00:23:40.22\00:23:41.55
the rule was,
00:23:41.58\00:23:42.92
you don't hit a man's foot,
00:23:42.95\00:23:44.29
there was times that
sometime the foot was hit.
00:23:44.32\00:23:47.56
But there was rules,
there were regulations.
00:23:47.59\00:23:51.73
You know, what every man
00:23:51.76\00:23:53.90
can't really
decide then for himself
00:23:53.93\00:23:56.63
to do only what
he chooses to do.
00:23:56.67\00:23:58.93
You see what a
world that would be
00:23:58.97\00:24:00.30
if everyone of
us just chose to do
00:24:00.34\00:24:02.07
what just we want to do
00:24:02.10\00:24:03.44
and how we wanted to do,
00:24:03.47\00:24:04.81
regardless of God,
00:24:04.84\00:24:06.17
regardless of mankind,
00:24:06.21\00:24:07.88
without respect to law.
00:24:07.91\00:24:10.55
Since God's law are
naturally, we know a reflection.
00:24:10.58\00:24:14.58
Now, keep all this in our minds
00:24:14.62\00:24:15.95
as we go and look
up some passages here.
00:24:15.98\00:24:18.55
As we know, God's
laws are naturally
00:24:18.59\00:24:20.62
a reflection of what?
00:24:20.66\00:24:22.19
Of His love and
of His character.
00:24:22.22\00:24:25.89
See, if we look at it that way,
00:24:25.93\00:24:27.46
it's a reflection
of God's character.
00:24:27.50\00:24:30.07
How many would really
want to do away with that?
00:24:30.10\00:24:32.37
You wanna do away
with God's character?
00:24:32.40\00:24:33.87
Absolutely not.
00:24:33.90\00:24:35.84
You wouldn't want to
do away with His love.
00:24:35.87\00:24:37.54
So there's something about laws
00:24:37.57\00:24:39.41
or something
about what we set up
00:24:39.44\00:24:41.01
in the home with the
family a lot of times is,
00:24:41.04\00:24:43.85
the children don't
touch this, don't do that.
00:24:43.88\00:24:46.45
Why? Because you love them.
00:24:46.48\00:24:48.82
And you don't
want them to get hurt.
00:24:48.85\00:24:50.62
God says that to us.
00:24:50.65\00:24:52.45
It is, remember a
natural reflection
00:24:52.49\00:24:54.76
of God's love and His character.
00:24:54.79\00:24:57.39
In fact, the
Book of Psalms 89:14,
00:24:57.43\00:25:01.36
tells us that,
00:25:01.40\00:25:02.73
Psalms 89:14 says this,
00:25:02.76\00:25:05.00
"Justice and judgment
00:25:05.03\00:25:07.24
are the
habitation of thy throne,
00:25:07.27\00:25:10.01
mercy and truth
00:25:10.04\00:25:11.61
shall go before thy face."
00:25:11.64\00:25:14.24
That lets you know here
00:25:14.28\00:25:15.61
what we've just
been talking about.
00:25:15.64\00:25:17.11
So God then,
00:25:17.15\00:25:18.48
His Ten Commandments are
simply a fundamental moral law,
00:25:18.51\00:25:23.15
fundamental moral law.
00:25:23.18\00:25:25.55
As Romans 7:12-14,
00:25:25.59\00:25:29.62
you know, as condense it down,
00:25:29.66\00:25:30.99
it simply said, Paul
said, "They are holy,
00:25:31.03\00:25:33.40
they're just, and they're good,
00:25:33.43\00:25:35.83
and they're spiritual."
00:25:35.86\00:25:38.03
I mean, how many of us would...
00:25:38.07\00:25:39.50
I mean, really
setting in a church,
00:25:39.53\00:25:40.94
we're supposed to
be Bible students.
00:25:40.97\00:25:42.54
We should be
reading the Word of God.
00:25:42.57\00:25:44.51
And yet we say, well,
it's no longer binding,
00:25:44.54\00:25:46.27
we no longer have to keep it.
00:25:46.31\00:25:47.64
Well, that means
again, there's no sin.
00:25:47.68\00:25:49.44
We know better than that.
00:25:49.48\00:25:50.81
And then we go
along, Paul says right here,
00:25:50.85\00:25:53.15
the law of God is holy.
00:25:53.18\00:25:55.58
So you wanna do
away with something holy?
00:25:55.62\00:25:57.55
No.
00:25:57.59\00:25:58.92
It's just, you want
to do away with justice?
00:25:58.95\00:26:00.66
No.
00:26:00.69\00:26:02.16
And it's good.
00:26:02.19\00:26:03.53
Do you want to do away
with anything that's good?
00:26:03.56\00:26:05.29
Man, we're
craving something good
00:26:05.33\00:26:06.80
in this world that we live in.
00:26:06.83\00:26:08.66
And by, and then
he goes on to say,
00:26:08.70\00:26:10.50
and the law of God is spiritual.
00:26:10.53\00:26:12.93
Who would wanna do away
with anything that's spiritual?
00:26:12.97\00:26:16.87
So you see, it's spiritual,
00:26:16.91\00:26:18.57
it's holy, it's good.
00:26:18.61\00:26:21.78
And the Bible simply said,
00:26:21.81\00:26:23.14
"All of His
commandments are sure."
00:26:23.18\00:26:24.68
You remember that,
00:26:24.71\00:26:26.05
and they stand
fast for how long?
00:26:26.08\00:26:28.38
"They stand fast forever."
00:26:28.42\00:26:30.32
It's said Psalms 111:7-8.
00:26:30.35\00:26:33.86
Psalms 111:7-8.
00:26:33.89\00:26:37.43
Jesus even said this
about it in Luke 16:17,
00:26:37.46\00:26:40.93
He says, "It is
easier for heaven and," what?
00:26:40.96\00:26:43.26
"And earth to pass,
00:26:43.30\00:26:44.90
than one tittle
of the law to fail."
00:26:44.93\00:26:47.84
Well, that's,
doesn't that make it
00:26:47.87\00:26:49.20
pretty clear to us.
00:26:49.24\00:26:50.57
Jesus said Himself,
00:26:50.61\00:26:51.94
the law cannot
be done away with.
00:26:51.97\00:26:53.54
Does that make sense to think
00:26:53.58\00:26:54.91
that Jesus would come
00:26:54.94\00:26:56.28
as they were
down on Mount Sinai,
00:26:56.31\00:26:57.65
I always say,
well, God, and Jesus
00:26:57.68\00:26:59.01
was on Mount Sinai
00:26:59.05\00:27:00.38
and He wrote
with His own finger,
00:27:00.42\00:27:01.75
these laws and then say,
00:27:01.78\00:27:03.12
now they'll be done
away with, now there's...
00:27:03.15\00:27:05.85
He says, no, not a
jot or tittle dotting
00:27:05.89\00:27:07.69
and I crossing of tee.
00:27:07.72\00:27:09.56
Well, no wise passed the
law till all shall be fulfilled.
00:27:09.59\00:27:12.13
We'll look at
that little bit closer.
00:27:12.16\00:27:15.36
Question one simply says,
00:27:15.40\00:27:16.83
who is the author of
the Ten Commandments?
00:27:16.87\00:27:18.97
Hopefully,
we've got that by now.
00:27:19.00\00:27:20.90
Exodus 31:18,
00:27:20.94\00:27:23.64
"God gave them to who?
00:27:23.67\00:27:25.07
God wrote them with His
finger, God gave them to Moses,
00:27:25.11\00:27:27.88
"He gave Moses
two tables of, what?"
00:27:27.91\00:27:30.48
It says testimony, He
gave him two testimony,
00:27:30.51\00:27:32.91
"Two tables of stone,
00:27:32.95\00:27:34.42
written with the finger of God."
00:27:34.45\00:27:36.28
So now we know
beyond a shadow of doubt
00:27:36.32\00:27:38.02
what's going on here.
00:27:38.05\00:27:39.39
God thought it was so
special, so important,
00:27:39.42\00:27:41.96
that He didn't rely
upon other angels to do it
00:27:41.99\00:27:44.19
or Gabriel or anyone else,
00:27:44.23\00:27:45.96
He'll say, you go
00:27:45.99\00:27:47.33
and write these
down for the people.
00:27:47.36\00:27:48.70
God wrote them Himself,
00:27:48.73\00:27:50.07
because He realized
00:27:50.10\00:27:51.43
that we needed
to know what sin is,
00:27:51.47\00:27:52.93
what transgression is,
00:27:52.97\00:27:54.30
because the
penalty you see is death.
00:27:54.34\00:27:58.51
And God said,
those who are gonna spend
00:27:58.54\00:27:59.87
eternity with me
00:27:59.91\00:28:01.24
have to realize what these are,
00:28:01.28\00:28:02.61
and by God's
grace and His strength,
00:28:02.64\00:28:03.98
He will enable us
to keep those laws.
00:28:04.01\00:28:05.98
How wonderful that is.
00:28:06.01\00:28:07.35
So to me, it's a
law of love right there,
00:28:07.38\00:28:08.85
rather than the
law you gotta do.
00:28:08.88\00:28:10.75
It's a law of
love and protection
00:28:10.79\00:28:12.79
that God gives to you and to me.
00:28:12.82\00:28:14.82
Tables of stone, we
know written by God,
00:28:14.86\00:28:17.46
the Bible says so.
00:28:17.49\00:28:18.83
So the tables of
stone then are, notice,
00:28:18.86\00:28:21.30
a standard of what?
00:28:21.33\00:28:23.47
Righteousness, right doing.
00:28:23.50\00:28:25.60
Tables of stone are what?
00:28:25.63\00:28:27.30
The standard of
righteousness, right doing,
00:28:27.34\00:28:30.91
that we can know
beyond a shadow of a doubt.
00:28:30.94\00:28:33.48
Praise God for that.
00:28:33.51\00:28:36.14
And we know that
which was written by God,
00:28:36.18\00:28:39.38
no heavenly being,
nor man can change,
00:28:39.41\00:28:43.99
or alter, or destroy
00:28:44.02\00:28:46.35
that which God will
use in the judgment.
00:28:46.39\00:28:49.66
Man has tried, right?
00:28:49.69\00:28:51.06
And Daniel talks about
00:28:51.09\00:28:52.43
and he shall
think to change what?
00:28:52.46\00:28:54.10
Daniel 7:25,
00:28:54.13\00:28:55.46
"He shall think to
change times and laws."
00:28:55.50\00:28:58.37
So somebody thinks
00:28:58.40\00:28:59.73
they're big
enough in the bridges,
00:28:59.77\00:29:01.10
to change what God has
written with His finger,
00:29:01.14\00:29:03.41
we need to be
very careful with that.
00:29:03.44\00:29:04.91
Are you still there?
00:29:04.94\00:29:06.34
We've got to be
careful with that.
00:29:06.37\00:29:07.71
That's part of Bible prophecy.
00:29:07.74\00:29:09.74
They're making
void the law of God.
00:29:09.78\00:29:13.38
That's happening today.
00:29:13.42\00:29:15.12
That's happening
as we talk about here,
00:29:15.15\00:29:16.82
and we're doing the
things that's going on
00:29:16.85\00:29:18.42
in the abortion line today
00:29:18.45\00:29:20.26
is just, is absolutely sad.
00:29:20.29\00:29:23.39
Yeah, New York and Virginia
are some of the latest ones,
00:29:23.43\00:29:25.66
you need to be reading something
00:29:25.69\00:29:27.03
about it right now.
00:29:27.06\00:29:28.40
They used to be able
to abort up to 24 weeks,
00:29:28.43\00:29:30.43
that's a long time.
00:29:30.47\00:29:32.00
The baby certainly live
and we're at conception,
00:29:32.03\00:29:34.37
we understand that.
00:29:34.40\00:29:35.74
But now they can go and wait
00:29:35.77\00:29:37.11
right till even
mama's giving birth
00:29:37.14\00:29:39.11
and the baby is,
may I should say,
00:29:39.14\00:29:40.61
the baby has come out.
00:29:40.64\00:29:41.98
And mama can say
right then and right there,
00:29:42.01\00:29:44.01
I don't want this child
and they'll get rid of it.
00:29:44.05\00:29:47.98
How sad, how savage
00:29:48.02\00:29:50.12
can we get in this country?
00:29:50.15\00:29:52.02
Let me tell you,
it's working up too easy
00:29:52.05\00:29:54.09
for them to have a death decree
00:29:54.12\00:29:55.59
that goes on
those who love Jesus
00:29:55.62\00:29:56.96
with all their heart.
00:29:56.99\00:29:58.33
I hope you're
putting that together.
00:29:58.36\00:30:01.16
You see because
they're already passing,
00:30:01.20\00:30:03.26
they've already
passed death decree
00:30:03.30\00:30:04.67
as it were for the babies.
00:30:04.70\00:30:06.90
It's all the mother has
to say is, I don't want them
00:30:06.94\00:30:10.11
while they're giving birth...
00:30:10.14\00:30:11.91
And that's it.
00:30:15.21\00:30:16.54
That's in Virginia
and certainly in New York.
00:30:16.58\00:30:18.21
You talk about devastating.
00:30:18.25\00:30:20.42
But you have to see
it in light of prophecy,
00:30:20.45\00:30:23.39
to help understand
00:30:23.42\00:30:24.75
why all this is
coming to and fro.
00:30:24.79\00:30:26.65
Because the Bible said
there'll be a death decree
00:30:26.69\00:30:28.59
upon God's people.
00:30:28.62\00:30:30.16
And here it gets much
easier as we pass these rules,
00:30:30.19\00:30:32.86
manmade here,
00:30:32.89\00:30:34.23
we need to get rid of people,
00:30:34.26\00:30:35.60
we got too many
people in the world,
00:30:35.63\00:30:36.97
and we'll pick and
choose who we want to.
00:30:37.00\00:30:38.67
We need to keep all
these things in mind
00:30:38.70\00:30:40.24
as we go what the
enemy has planned.
00:30:40.27\00:30:43.54
"We're going to be judged
by the perfect law of," what?
00:30:43.57\00:30:46.57
"Of liberty."
00:30:46.61\00:30:47.94
James 2 we
realize that, verse 12.
00:30:47.98\00:30:51.15
Judged by what?
00:30:51.18\00:30:52.51
The perfect law of liberty.
00:30:52.55\00:30:54.98
So how you gonna
do away with something
00:30:55.02\00:30:56.79
and it's going to be
used in the judgment.
00:30:56.82\00:30:59.12
There's no one gonna
make it to the kingdom,
00:30:59.15\00:31:01.29
no one going to heaven.
00:31:01.32\00:31:02.86
That's not been...
00:31:02.89\00:31:04.23
As it were, looked into
the perfect law of liberty
00:31:04.26\00:31:06.29
and their life has been what?
00:31:06.33\00:31:08.36
Judged by that law,
that law is judging them.
00:31:08.40\00:31:11.03
Have we, do we have
other gods before Him?
00:31:11.07\00:31:13.47
You see.
00:31:13.50\00:31:14.84
Good, take the commandments
right on down there.
00:31:14.87\00:31:17.41
So how can you do
away with something
00:31:17.44\00:31:18.87
will be used in the judgment?
00:31:18.91\00:31:22.44
Man will receive a
sentence on life and or death.
00:31:22.48\00:31:26.48
Exodus 32:33,
00:31:26.51\00:31:28.85
moving on, is
that the Lord said,
00:31:28.88\00:31:30.62
Exodus Chapter what?
00:31:30.65\00:31:31.99
32:33,
00:31:32.02\00:31:33.99
Exodus 32:33 says,
00:31:34.02\00:31:37.09
"And the Lord said unto Moses,"
00:31:37.13\00:31:38.69
notice this,
00:31:38.73\00:31:40.10
"Whosoever has
sinned against me, him
00:31:40.13\00:31:42.63
will I blot out of My book."
00:31:42.66\00:31:44.20
What did God say?
00:31:44.23\00:31:45.70
Well, God's too good,
I heard it said sometime.
00:31:45.73\00:31:48.07
Well, God is
all, He, God is love,
00:31:48.10\00:31:49.80
and He's not going to
keep us out of the kingdom.
00:31:49.84\00:31:52.01
God says to him and
told Moses, said unto him,
00:31:52.04\00:31:54.51
whosoever sinneth against who?
00:31:54.54\00:31:57.38
Me, him will I
blot out of the book.
00:31:57.41\00:32:01.55
Out of the book of life.
00:32:01.58\00:32:02.98
Him I'm going to blot out.
00:32:03.02\00:32:05.22
Remember, Moses
came down from the mount,
00:32:05.25\00:32:07.99
you can just kind of
pictured in your mind.
00:32:08.02\00:32:10.19
Remember, his
face shone so brightly
00:32:10.23\00:32:12.73
that people couldn't
look upon, could they?
00:32:12.76\00:32:16.23
And he had to put a
covering over his face.
00:32:16.26\00:32:19.03
Now think what it was?
00:32:19.07\00:32:20.50
Well, because he was with God.
00:32:20.54\00:32:22.00
Well, certainly but you know,
God is protecting himself too
00:32:22.04\00:32:24.74
and protecting Moses,
00:32:24.77\00:32:26.14
but could this be
something in the law of God
00:32:26.17\00:32:28.74
that shone brightly also.
00:32:28.78\00:32:30.81
What could it really be?
00:32:30.85\00:32:33.11
The reflection
of the righteousness
00:32:33.15\00:32:34.98
of Christ in the law.
00:32:35.02\00:32:37.55
Think about
that, the law by itself
00:32:37.59\00:32:39.95
has no glory, does it?
00:32:39.99\00:32:42.32
It condemns you.
00:32:42.36\00:32:43.93
The law by self has no glory.
00:32:43.96\00:32:46.59
The law of God has
no power to save at all.
00:32:46.63\00:32:49.66
It's simply
points out what sin is?
00:32:49.70\00:32:52.50
I need a sin detector.
00:32:52.53\00:32:55.60
We need that.
00:32:55.64\00:32:57.71
So that we understand,
00:32:57.74\00:32:59.07
so that everybody's not saying,
00:32:59.11\00:33:00.44
"Well, in my
opinion, this is not wrong."
00:33:00.48\00:33:02.61
Another guy say,
"Well, in my opinion that is,
00:33:02.64\00:33:04.51
but this is not."
00:33:04.55\00:33:05.95
We can't do that
because God has already said
00:33:05.98\00:33:07.92
what is and what isn't.
00:33:07.95\00:33:10.35
So there's no glory as
it were in the law itself.
00:33:10.39\00:33:14.12
There's no power to save.
00:33:14.16\00:33:15.86
But what glory is in the law,
00:33:15.89\00:33:17.49
is Christ in the law.
00:33:17.53\00:33:19.86
That's the glory,
did you get that one?
00:33:19.89\00:33:23.13
Which represents righteousness,
and which represents the truth,
00:33:23.16\00:33:26.40
God is in the law.
00:33:26.43\00:33:28.44
Divine glory attached
00:33:28.47\00:33:31.47
to the giving of the law, why?
00:33:31.51\00:33:34.28
Because God is in it.
00:33:34.31\00:33:37.88
God is in it.
00:33:37.91\00:33:39.25
Anything that God's in,
00:33:39.28\00:33:40.62
there's some glory
attached to it, isn't there?
00:33:40.65\00:33:41.98
A power, there's glory to it,
00:33:42.02\00:33:43.89
you know,
because of transgression.
00:33:43.92\00:33:45.92
Again, we talked
about that Israel
00:33:45.95\00:33:47.46
could not look on
the face of Moses.
00:33:47.49\00:33:50.66
It was too painful
for them to look on him.
00:33:50.69\00:33:53.83
So he loved them enough,
00:33:53.86\00:33:56.43
he covered his face.
00:33:56.46\00:33:57.80
I wanna think
he covered his face
00:33:57.83\00:33:59.47
because they
couldn't stand to look at,
00:33:59.50\00:34:00.84
it was too bright.
00:34:00.87\00:34:02.74
And so that's the
way that it is today,
00:34:02.77\00:34:07.31
that's the way that it is today
00:34:07.34\00:34:09.34
because man sinfulness,
00:34:09.38\00:34:11.41
because of his sinfulness
00:34:11.45\00:34:14.85
he does not want
to look, or hear,
00:34:14.88\00:34:16.69
or talk about the God's law
00:34:16.72\00:34:19.45
would shine so brightly.
00:34:19.49\00:34:23.59
It reveals what sin is.
00:34:23.63\00:34:28.13
And so man does what?
00:34:28.16\00:34:29.70
He tries to cover it up,
00:34:29.73\00:34:31.57
he tries to say that
it's not binding anymore.
00:34:31.60\00:34:34.10
He tries to say nine of them
are but you know, the 10th one,
00:34:34.14\00:34:37.07
especially the
fourth commandment is not.
00:34:37.11\00:34:41.04
It's interesting question too,
00:34:41.08\00:34:43.28
how does the Psalmist
David describe the law of God?
00:34:43.31\00:34:47.35
I think...
00:34:47.38\00:34:48.72
If you had, it didn't
have any other passages,
00:34:48.75\00:34:50.19
this would be so exciting
because Psalms 19:7 says,
00:34:50.22\00:34:53.72
what does it say?
00:34:53.76\00:34:55.09
"The law of God is," what?
00:34:55.12\00:34:56.52
"The law of the
Lord is perfect."
00:34:56.56\00:34:59.09
Good.
00:34:59.13\00:35:00.46
"The law of the Lord is
perfect, converting" what?
00:35:00.50\00:35:03.50
"The soul, the
testimony of the Lord is sure,
00:35:03.53\00:35:06.90
making wise the simple."
00:35:06.94\00:35:09.54
Now, if there's
any simple people
00:35:09.57\00:35:11.34
in here today, I'm one of them.
00:35:11.37\00:35:13.48
I need this passage.
00:35:13.51\00:35:16.85
If you look at something
00:35:16.88\00:35:18.21
and you're trying to decide
whether it's binding or not,
00:35:18.25\00:35:20.78
or done away with not,
00:35:20.82\00:35:22.15
and then you
look in here and say,
00:35:22.18\00:35:23.69
the law of the Lord is perfect.
00:35:23.72\00:35:27.12
Shouldn't you
just leave it there?
00:35:27.16\00:35:30.49
Who would want to
fuss and argue, and say,
00:35:30.53\00:35:32.59
well, that's not what it means.
00:35:32.63\00:35:33.96
The law of the Lord is perfect.
00:35:34.00\00:35:36.03
And I'll tell you
why that is perfect.
00:35:36.06\00:35:37.40
God just give you the perfect
00:35:37.43\00:35:38.90
is because it converts the soul.
00:35:38.93\00:35:41.90
The truth inside of a
person changes a person.
00:35:41.94\00:35:44.84
Outside truth is
not going to get it.
00:35:44.87\00:35:46.61
The law of God written
outside is not gonna get it
00:35:46.64\00:35:48.98
until you get it
inside with the glory of God
00:35:49.01\00:35:51.61
and then changes come about.
00:35:51.65\00:35:54.22
Why is that we
have such a hard time
00:35:54.25\00:35:55.85
to say that we're just,
00:35:55.88\00:35:57.22
well, it's not
binding, it's not binding more,
00:35:57.25\00:35:58.75
we don't live, we live by grace.
00:35:58.79\00:36:00.52
Praise God for grace.
00:36:00.56\00:36:02.59
But it does do
away with the law.
00:36:02.62\00:36:04.59
We understand that.
00:36:04.63\00:36:05.96
So notice that, it
converts, I love that, the soul.
00:36:05.99\00:36:09.40
You know what convert is?
00:36:09.43\00:36:10.87
Convert here it
talking about in the Hebrew,
00:36:10.90\00:36:13.44
it says, it rescues the soul.
00:36:13.47\00:36:17.64
The law of the Lord, what?
00:36:17.67\00:36:19.34
Rescues me.
00:36:19.37\00:36:22.01
The law of the
Lord does restores me.
00:36:22.04\00:36:26.41
The law of the Lord
is a coming back for me,
00:36:26.45\00:36:29.88
coming back to
who? Coming back to him.
00:36:29.92\00:36:33.72
The law of the Lord perfect
00:36:33.76\00:36:35.12
or the law of the Lord
is delivering me from what?
00:36:35.16\00:36:38.43
The enemy.
00:36:38.46\00:36:39.79
The law of the
Lord is recovering me,
00:36:39.83\00:36:41.86
I'm in recovery.
00:36:41.90\00:36:45.43
You see it in this
world because we are sinners.
00:36:45.47\00:36:47.34
He said, well, we
talked about drug addicts,
00:36:47.37\00:36:48.74
they're on recovery.
00:36:48.77\00:36:50.11
I'm in recovery.
00:36:50.14\00:36:52.47
Are you there?
00:36:52.51\00:36:53.84
I'm in recovery,
00:36:53.88\00:36:55.28
because all have sinned
00:36:55.31\00:36:56.64
and come short
of the glory of God.
00:36:56.68\00:36:58.01
We're all in recovery.
00:36:58.05\00:36:59.38
That's why the law
of the Lord is perfect,
00:36:59.41\00:37:01.28
converting the
soul, changing the life.
00:37:01.32\00:37:04.82
The testimony of the Lord,
00:37:04.85\00:37:06.42
the witness of the Lord,
00:37:06.45\00:37:08.26
the recording of the Lord,
00:37:08.29\00:37:10.56
a record of the
Lord, did you get?
00:37:10.59\00:37:13.56
Oh, it sure
making wise the simple.
00:37:13.60\00:37:17.87
People don't want
to talk about walls,
00:37:17.90\00:37:20.10
and hedges, and
anything else today.
00:37:20.14\00:37:22.34
But I'm gonna talk about a wall.
00:37:22.37\00:37:24.57
God has built a wall.
00:37:24.61\00:37:26.88
God has built a
hedge about His people,
00:37:26.91\00:37:29.94
to do what?
00:37:29.98\00:37:31.31
To preserve us from sin.
00:37:31.35\00:37:34.75
What might that
be, think about it.
00:37:34.78\00:37:38.12
He requires
obedience to His laws.
00:37:38.15\00:37:41.02
He gave us the
Ten Commandment law
00:37:41.06\00:37:42.79
to be a hedge around us,
00:37:42.82\00:37:44.99
to protect us,
00:37:45.03\00:37:47.93
to be a safeguard for us.
00:37:47.96\00:37:51.37
He requires us to be
obedient to His laws.
00:37:51.40\00:37:54.57
And you know what happens?
00:37:54.60\00:37:55.94
It brings us health,
00:37:55.97\00:37:57.94
it gives us strength.
00:37:57.97\00:38:00.04
Oh, how wonder,
happiness and peace, salvation,
00:38:00.08\00:38:03.51
perfection of character.
00:38:03.55\00:38:06.78
Think about how could there
be perfection of character,
00:38:06.82\00:38:09.62
if we didn't know what sin is?
00:38:09.65\00:38:10.99
You know, they had no way
to find out right and wrong.
00:38:11.02\00:38:15.19
Well, God's given us that way.
00:38:15.22\00:38:17.89
And the only way is we know
00:38:17.93\00:38:19.79
that this
perfection of character
00:38:19.83\00:38:21.16
can be attained
00:38:21.20\00:38:22.53
is by simply
knowing Jesus Christ
00:38:22.56\00:38:24.07
as our Lord and
Savior by knowing His Word.
00:38:24.10\00:38:27.44
How do we know that?
00:38:27.47\00:38:28.80
Because the Bible says so,
00:38:28.84\00:38:30.54
real simple
passage of scripture.
00:38:30.57\00:38:32.74
Psalms 119:130,
00:38:32.77\00:38:35.64
it just says,
now you notice this,
00:38:35.68\00:38:37.55
"The entrance of
thy word," does what?
00:38:37.58\00:38:41.58
"Giveth light," notice it,
00:38:41.62\00:38:43.22
"it giveth understanding
once again to the simple."
00:38:43.25\00:38:46.29
So we need to think in
terms of we are simple,
00:38:46.32\00:38:49.02
we're simple people.
00:38:49.06\00:38:50.86
And we need something simple.
00:38:50.89\00:38:52.36
But he said the
entrance of the word,
00:38:52.39\00:38:54.40
somebody put the
word inside of him.
00:38:54.43\00:38:57.40
Ask God to put the word inside.
00:38:57.43\00:38:59.87
You say that's wonderful,
00:38:59.90\00:39:01.24
but we've got to
get in and start turning
00:39:01.27\00:39:02.60
and reading for ourselves.
00:39:02.64\00:39:04.07
It giveth us understanding,
00:39:04.11\00:39:06.31
how desperately
we need that today.
00:39:06.34\00:39:08.58
Question three says,
00:39:08.61\00:39:11.75
what did Jesus say
concerning the law?
00:39:11.78\00:39:13.78
Matthew 5:17-19.
00:39:13.82\00:39:17.05
What did Jesus say
concerning about the law here?
00:39:17.09\00:39:19.72
Remember Jesus simply said,
00:39:19.75\00:39:21.09
we talked about it
00:39:21.12\00:39:22.46
and touched on
just a moment ago.
00:39:22.49\00:39:23.83
Jesus said, "Think not
that I am come to do" what?
00:39:23.86\00:39:25.49
People say it's done away
with but yet Jesus said what?
00:39:28.56\00:39:31.83
"I came not to destroy
the law or the prophets,
00:39:31.87\00:39:35.94
I am not come to destroy."
00:39:35.97\00:39:37.67
I mean, He repeats
it again with force.
00:39:37.71\00:39:40.78
I did not come to destroy.
00:39:40.81\00:39:43.81
You hear people
say, I didn't say that.
00:39:43.85\00:39:45.58
Somebody say, "You did."
00:39:45.61\00:39:46.95
"I did not say that."
00:39:46.98\00:39:48.95
A little more force put on it.
00:39:48.98\00:39:50.65
I did not come to
destroy the law or the prophets.
00:39:50.69\00:39:53.22
"I am not come to destroy,
00:39:53.25\00:39:54.99
but to fulfill."
00:39:55.02\00:39:56.46
People begin to
get confused here.
00:39:56.49\00:39:58.63
The Devil's trying
to confuse them here.
00:39:58.66\00:40:00.10
We pray they'll come
out of that in a moment.
00:40:00.13\00:40:02.03
Verse 18 says, "For
verily I say unto you,
00:40:02.06\00:40:04.80
till heaven and
earth," shall what?
00:40:04.83\00:40:06.37
"Pass" once again,
"not one jot or" what?
00:40:06.40\00:40:09.84
"Tittle shall in no wise
00:40:09.87\00:40:11.64
pass from the law
till all be fulfilled."
00:40:11.67\00:40:15.28
Jesus said, don't think,
00:40:15.31\00:40:18.28
don't think that I come
00:40:18.31\00:40:21.35
to this world.
00:40:21.38\00:40:24.19
And then when I wrote
something with my own finger,
00:40:24.22\00:40:26.55
then I come to this
world and then I say,
00:40:26.59\00:40:29.52
it's done away with.
00:40:29.56\00:40:31.73
I've come to destroy it.
00:40:31.76\00:40:34.36
See the word
destroy, If you look at it,
00:40:34.40\00:40:36.50
even in the Greek it
talks about here, I think.
00:40:36.53\00:40:38.80
It mean, I did not
even come to loosen it.
00:40:38.83\00:40:41.47
Did you get it?
00:40:41.50\00:40:42.84
Didn't say just
destroy and do away.
00:40:42.87\00:40:44.21
I didn't even
come to loosen it up.
00:40:44.24\00:40:47.48
I didn't come to abolish it.
00:40:47.51\00:40:50.48
I didn't come to annul it,
00:40:50.51\00:40:53.21
the law.
00:40:53.25\00:40:54.62
Here law in the Hebrew is Torah,
00:40:54.65\00:40:57.35
which means all the
revealed will of God.
00:40:57.39\00:41:01.12
All the revealed, remember,
00:41:01.16\00:41:02.76
the Bible said in
Matthew 4:4, right?
00:41:02.79\00:41:04.56
"Every word that" what?
00:41:04.59\00:41:06.33
"Every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God."
00:41:06.36\00:41:08.83
This is what God's
gonna hold us accountable for
00:41:08.86\00:41:11.00
is every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God.
00:41:11.03\00:41:13.60
The revealed will God
has revealed, He said,
00:41:13.64\00:41:16.24
I didn't come
to destroy the law.
00:41:16.27\00:41:18.11
I wrote it with My own finger.
00:41:18.14\00:41:19.54
I gave it to you for protection.
00:41:19.57\00:41:21.21
I gave it to you for a
hedge to put around you.
00:41:21.24\00:41:23.35
So you wouldn't get
yourself in trouble, Kenny.
00:41:23.38\00:41:28.12
What a God we serve,
that sound like love to me.
00:41:28.15\00:41:30.69
You remember in the Hebrew Bible
00:41:34.06\00:41:36.76
there is a...
00:41:36.79\00:41:38.13
They kind of divided up
and call a threefold division,
00:41:38.16\00:41:41.53
a threefold division simply,
they divided up into members,
00:41:41.56\00:41:45.27
portion is the law,
and then the prophets
00:41:45.30\00:41:48.40
and then they call the
writings or the Psalms,
00:41:48.44\00:41:51.97
they divided up such.
00:41:52.01\00:41:54.04
The context here that
we're looking about law,
00:41:54.08\00:41:56.24
Jesus is referring primarily
to the moral law of God,
00:41:56.28\00:42:00.62
but He's also
using civil law here.
00:42:00.65\00:42:03.89
And so He proves that,
00:42:03.92\00:42:05.25
it's contained in
the Book of Moses.
00:42:05.29\00:42:06.96
How brilliant
00:42:06.99\00:42:09.89
Jesus was, as He was talking,
00:42:09.92\00:42:12.49
you see to the people
00:42:12.53\00:42:13.86
and bringing
some of these things
00:42:13.90\00:42:15.23
on to them.
00:42:15.26\00:42:16.60
And you can prove
that in Matthew 5:15-17,
00:42:16.63\00:42:20.84
Matthew Chapter 5,
notice 15, I think it's 15.
00:42:20.87\00:42:25.37
No, Matthew 5:21-27.
00:42:25.41\00:42:28.61
Jesus does what?
00:42:28.64\00:42:29.98
He goes in and He
selects certain passages
00:42:30.01\00:42:31.98
out of here in
the Ten Commandments,
00:42:32.01\00:42:34.58
in verse 21 and 27.
00:42:34.62\00:42:36.82
So if you're not
writing down, you never get it,
00:42:36.85\00:42:38.62
so we can't keep
going back with it.
00:42:38.65\00:42:41.09
So He goes back
and He does what?
00:42:41.12\00:42:42.82
He gives him, He
starts quoting scripture,
00:42:42.86\00:42:44.46
and then He goes
back, and He's getting,
00:42:44.49\00:42:46.06
pick out a couple of verses
that refer to the moral law.
00:42:46.09\00:42:50.10
Then He goes to
the writings of Moses
00:42:50.13\00:42:52.13
and then He picks out
several of those things,
00:42:52.17\00:42:54.67
telling about the fulfillment
of types and shadows,
00:42:54.70\00:42:59.54
and the ritual law,
00:42:59.57\00:43:01.41
that pertained to what?
00:43:01.44\00:43:03.04
That pointed to Him.
00:43:03.08\00:43:04.55
So He went back
to the law, right?
00:43:04.58\00:43:06.85
Sanctuary, move
back to the message
00:43:06.88\00:43:08.52
and all these things to do what?
00:43:08.55\00:43:10.35
To say these things
00:43:10.39\00:43:11.72
that you're
reading about points to Me.
00:43:11.75\00:43:14.46
And then the New Testament,
00:43:14.49\00:43:15.82
He said, these things
you're reading about here
00:43:15.86\00:43:17.19
in the New Testament,
00:43:17.23\00:43:18.56
when you say fulfillment
00:43:18.59\00:43:19.93
of all the Messianic predictions
00:43:19.96\00:43:23.03
throughout Scripture.
00:43:23.06\00:43:24.73
Let me give you an example,
00:43:24.77\00:43:26.10
quick one here,
Luke 24:44 example here,
00:43:26.13\00:43:29.70
"And he said unto them, "
00:43:29.74\00:43:31.07
Jesus said unto them,
00:43:31.11\00:43:32.54
"These other words
which I spake unto you,
00:43:32.57\00:43:34.98
while I was yet with you,
00:43:35.01\00:43:36.95
that all things must be" what?
00:43:36.98\00:43:39.05
Notice the word "fulfilled,
00:43:39.08\00:43:41.45
which were written
in the law of Moses,
00:43:41.48\00:43:43.89
and in the prophets,
00:43:43.92\00:43:45.25
and in the
psalms, concerning me."
00:43:45.29\00:43:47.92
Jesus go back and
just read scripture
00:43:47.96\00:43:49.29
and say these right here, right?
00:43:49.32\00:43:50.89
Old Testament, these
telling about Me coming.
00:43:50.93\00:43:54.40
All these promises,
00:43:54.43\00:43:55.76
New Testament talking
about promise of the Messiah
00:43:55.80\00:43:57.57
of Me coming to
this world for you.
00:43:57.60\00:44:00.44
So He came to do what?
00:44:00.47\00:44:01.80
What's the whole word fulfill,
00:44:01.84\00:44:04.14
which bothers a lot of people.
00:44:04.17\00:44:05.51
They say, "Well, the law
of God's been fulfilled."
00:44:05.54\00:44:07.61
Think about.
00:44:07.64\00:44:08.98
He came to fulfill,
00:44:09.01\00:44:10.35
He came to make it what?
00:44:10.38\00:44:11.71
He came to make it full,
00:44:11.75\00:44:13.18
He came to fill it up.
00:44:13.21\00:44:17.25
So Jesus now
presses home the truth,
00:44:17.29\00:44:19.52
this work part we
need to get from this
00:44:19.55\00:44:21.32
when Jesus is speaking to us.
00:44:21.36\00:44:23.89
That the laws that
He gave on Mount Sinai,
00:44:23.93\00:44:27.80
that anyone who presumes
00:44:27.83\00:44:30.80
to annul them, did you get it?
00:44:30.83\00:44:33.50
By precept or by example,
00:44:33.54\00:44:36.10
would in no wise,
00:44:36.14\00:44:37.47
in no case enter
the kingdom of heaven.
00:44:37.51\00:44:41.61
Matthew 5 and you
read verses 19, 20,
00:44:41.64\00:44:43.88
I wish we had time to read it.
00:44:43.91\00:44:45.71
I mean, this is really something
00:44:45.75\00:44:47.48
what Jesus runs right quick,
00:44:47.52\00:44:48.95
said, anybody
that's trying to annul,
00:44:48.98\00:44:50.55
anybody's trying to
say they're done away with,
00:44:50.59\00:44:52.45
you know they're
longer binding anymore.
00:44:52.49\00:44:54.89
He said,
they're no wise, no case
00:44:54.92\00:44:56.56
are they gonna enter
the kingdom of heaven?
00:44:56.59\00:44:58.53
How could you would
know right and wrong,
00:44:58.56\00:45:00.10
you would know the test
is God's Ten Commandment law.
00:45:00.13\00:45:03.26
Do you love God?
00:45:03.30\00:45:05.77
Told the man just the other day,
00:45:05.80\00:45:07.14
we talking about here, said,
00:45:07.17\00:45:08.50
your duty is the
first commandment,
00:45:08.54\00:45:09.87
thou shalt have no other gods
00:45:09.90\00:45:11.77
before Me.
00:45:11.81\00:45:13.84
You can't have any
friends before Him.
00:45:13.88\00:45:15.41
You can't have a
husband or wife before God.
00:45:15.44\00:45:17.98
You just can't do it.
00:45:18.01\00:45:19.35
God must be first in your life.
00:45:19.38\00:45:24.65
Think what Jesus said.
00:45:24.69\00:45:27.09
Once again,
00:45:27.12\00:45:28.46
He said I did
not come to do, what?
00:45:28.49\00:45:31.06
Destroy the law.
00:45:31.09\00:45:33.66
And then he would
turn right around and say,
00:45:33.70\00:45:36.23
but I came to fulfill it.
00:45:36.26\00:45:38.50
It doesn't make sense.
00:45:38.53\00:45:39.87
I didn't come to destroy
it but I came to fulfill it.
00:45:39.90\00:45:41.77
So what's the
meaning of it here?
00:45:41.80\00:45:43.94
As something they said,
00:45:43.97\00:45:45.31
well, He came
to do away with it,
00:45:45.34\00:45:47.04
to abrogate it, to abolish it.
00:45:47.08\00:45:51.08
Remember, Jesus came to
fill it up with meaning.
00:45:51.11\00:45:56.89
He came to set an
example of perfect obedience.
00:45:56.92\00:46:01.29
Christ was obedient
00:46:01.32\00:46:02.79
to the Ten
Commandment law, was He not?
00:46:02.82\00:46:05.06
All ten.
00:46:05.09\00:46:06.43
And He says,
that's the same law,
00:46:09.16\00:46:11.40
the very same law
00:46:11.43\00:46:12.77
that He wants in our
hearts and in our mind.
00:46:12.80\00:46:14.27
Romans 8:3-4 says,
00:46:14.30\00:46:16.71
"That the
righteousness of the law
00:46:16.74\00:46:18.11
might be fulfilled," where?
00:46:18.14\00:46:19.51
"In us."
00:46:19.54\00:46:20.88
The righteousness of what?
00:46:20.91\00:46:24.31
Here the Bible talks
about the law is righteous,
00:46:24.35\00:46:27.35
we talked about holy,
just, and good, and spiritual.
00:46:27.38\00:46:32.22
So why would we want
to do away with that?
00:46:32.25\00:46:35.09
Why would we want to preach it?
Why would we want to teach it?
00:46:35.12\00:46:39.43
I've heard people say,
00:46:39.46\00:46:40.80
"Oh, keeping the laws and
stuff, you're in bondage."
00:46:40.83\00:46:42.16
You ever hear that?
00:46:42.20\00:46:43.53
Just all old bondage.
00:46:43.57\00:46:44.90
No one who believes in
Jesus is under bondage,
00:46:44.93\00:46:48.40
the law of God.
00:46:48.44\00:46:50.21
Why?
00:46:50.24\00:46:51.57
Because His law
is a law of love.
00:46:51.61\00:46:55.44
Praise God, not death
00:46:55.48\00:46:57.51
to those who obey,
certainly obey His principles,
00:46:57.55\00:47:00.62
do faith in Christ.
00:47:00.65\00:47:03.02
Remember,
legalism, I hear this a lot,
00:47:03.05\00:47:04.62
oh, all you legalist.
00:47:04.65\00:47:06.96
Legalism or legal religion
00:47:06.99\00:47:10.69
strives to fulfill
00:47:10.73\00:47:12.76
the claims of the law
in their own strength,
00:47:12.79\00:47:14.76
that's legalism.
00:47:14.80\00:47:16.13
I can do it in
myself, I don't need any help.
00:47:16.16\00:47:18.60
We can do it ourself.
00:47:18.63\00:47:20.14
It's not what the Bible teaches.
00:47:20.17\00:47:23.61
Bible said,
"Whosoever committed sin
00:47:23.64\00:47:25.14
transgresses also of
the law" for the what?
00:47:25.17\00:47:28.24
Sin we read is a transgression
00:47:28.28\00:47:30.55
of the law.
00:47:30.58\00:47:31.98
Manuscript 27,
00:47:32.01\00:47:34.98
1899 says this,
00:47:35.02\00:47:37.65
talking about the law of God,
00:47:37.69\00:47:39.35
"This is the only
definition of sin.
00:47:39.39\00:47:43.63
Without the law there
can be no transgression."
00:47:43.66\00:47:47.16
We read, speak of Romans 3:20,
00:47:47.20\00:47:49.63
"By the law is the," what?
00:47:49.66\00:47:52.10
"Knowledge of sin."
Let's go till we get it, right?
00:47:52.13\00:47:54.67
What does the law do?
00:47:54.70\00:47:56.04
It points out
what sin is, right?
00:47:56.07\00:47:58.54
Romans 3:20,
00:47:58.57\00:48:00.34
by the law is the sample
00:48:00.38\00:48:01.98
that knowledge of sin.
00:48:02.01\00:48:05.31
Praise God for that.
00:48:05.35\00:48:06.75
Standard of righteousness.
00:48:06.78\00:48:09.45
Bible reminds
us for the purpose,
00:48:09.48\00:48:12.15
the Son of God was revealed
00:48:12.19\00:48:14.29
because of sin, aren't you glad?
00:48:14.32\00:48:16.26
Jesus
00:48:16.29\00:48:17.93
willing to come to this world.
00:48:17.96\00:48:20.80
He came to this world
00:48:20.83\00:48:22.16
to destroy the
works of the devil
00:48:22.20\00:48:25.30
and the works of the devil today
00:48:25.33\00:48:26.77
is those going
around saying the law of God
00:48:26.80\00:48:28.90
is done away with.
00:48:28.94\00:48:31.17
There's no place in Scripture
00:48:31.21\00:48:32.54
can you find
that as you well know,
00:48:32.57\00:48:34.54
1 John 3:8,
00:48:34.58\00:48:36.04
that's why Jesus come to destroy
00:48:36.08\00:48:37.41
the works of the devil.
00:48:37.45\00:48:40.02
Question five.
00:48:40.05\00:48:41.38
What did the Apostle Paul
have to say about God's law?
00:48:41.42\00:48:44.05
Remember we read
part of Romans 7:12.
00:48:44.09\00:48:47.16
Paul said this
about, everybody loves Paul.
00:48:47.19\00:48:49.12
I love preaching
Paul, I love preacher Paul.
00:48:49.16\00:48:51.59
Preacher Paul was
the Seventh-day Adventist
00:48:51.63\00:48:53.60
if I might say so, if
I might just be so bold,
00:48:53.63\00:48:56.60
because he's a
Sabbath keeper, was he not?
00:48:56.63\00:49:00.07
Why's everybody
love to preach about
00:49:00.10\00:49:01.47
but yet they don't
want to keep what he said.
00:49:01.50\00:49:03.74
They say he's a
real apostle, right?
00:49:03.77\00:49:05.31
Jesus called him
into the ministry
00:49:05.34\00:49:07.34
and he's given the
gospel to the Gentiles
00:49:07.38\00:49:09.31
and he's preaching
all these good things.
00:49:09.34\00:49:11.21
He says the
commandments are holy,
00:49:11.25\00:49:12.58
and just, and
they're good as we read.
00:49:12.61\00:49:14.68
The law is holy,
the commandment holy,
00:49:14.72\00:49:16.92
they're just and
they're good is what Paul says.
00:49:16.95\00:49:20.82
Paul was teaching
00:49:20.86\00:49:22.32
of his
experience, his conversion.
00:49:22.36\00:49:24.73
Now you may
have read this before
00:49:24.76\00:49:26.19
and it's kind of interesting
00:49:26.23\00:49:27.56
and hopefully
didn't confused and by,
00:49:27.60\00:49:28.93
we won't be confused today.
00:49:28.96\00:49:30.63
As Paul said, notice
here, Paul says here,
00:49:30.67\00:49:32.70
I was alive
without the law once.
00:49:32.73\00:49:34.70
You remember that
passage there in Romans 6:9.
00:49:34.74\00:49:37.71
Paul said, I was
alive without the law
00:49:37.74\00:49:41.78
once.
00:49:41.81\00:49:43.14
In other words,
what was Paul saying?
00:49:43.18\00:49:45.15
He said, I felt no condemnation.
00:49:45.18\00:49:49.45
I didn't believe us
binding, then we had to keep.
00:49:49.48\00:49:51.29
I felt no
condemnation from the law.
00:49:51.32\00:49:54.69
But he said when
the commandment came,
00:49:54.72\00:49:57.89
or when the law of God
came upon my conscience,
00:49:57.93\00:50:01.26
then he says, sin
revived and I died,
00:50:01.30\00:50:04.47
you remember reading that?
00:50:04.50\00:50:05.83
It's almost like
confusing when people read it.
00:50:05.87\00:50:07.57
Paul said, I just didn't...
00:50:07.60\00:50:09.04
Think about it.
00:50:09.07\00:50:11.07
I didn't realize
there's a law here.
00:50:11.11\00:50:13.84
I didn't feel any condemnation.
00:50:13.88\00:50:16.14
But when the commandment came
00:50:16.18\00:50:17.51
when he realized
there was something
00:50:17.55\00:50:19.05
that God had written down,
00:50:19.08\00:50:20.88
the law of God
came to my conscious,
00:50:20.92\00:50:22.55
he said, sin, what?
00:50:22.58\00:50:23.99
Revived and I died.
00:50:24.02\00:50:28.72
Interesting.
00:50:28.76\00:50:30.09
What did he say? I
saw myself as a sinner.
00:50:30.13\00:50:33.09
Paul said, when Holy
Spirit began to work upon me
00:50:33.13\00:50:36.23
and look the law of God,
I saw myself as a sinner.
00:50:36.26\00:50:38.50
It pointed me out
things I was doing wrong,
00:50:38.53\00:50:40.77
it doesn't save
me, it doesn't help me.
00:50:40.80\00:50:42.14
It just points out
what I was doing wrong.
00:50:42.17\00:50:45.34
Notice what Paul said here,
00:50:45.37\00:50:47.54
Paul,
00:50:47.58\00:50:48.91
not the law died.
00:50:48.94\00:50:52.18
We're not
talking about physical,
00:50:52.21\00:50:53.55
we're talking about
this spiritual, right,
00:50:53.58\00:50:54.92
and his conversion experience.
00:50:54.95\00:50:56.45
See something died
but it wasn't Paul.
00:50:56.48\00:50:59.65
Paul, I mean, Paul
died, and not the law.
00:50:59.69\00:51:01.96
Question six.
00:51:01.99\00:51:03.32
How many of the commandments
00:51:03.36\00:51:04.69
does one have to break
00:51:04.73\00:51:06.06
in order to be
guilty before God?
00:51:06.09\00:51:07.96
How many do we have to?
00:51:08.00\00:51:09.46
James 2:10, you've read
it many times it says here,
00:51:09.50\00:51:12.33
"For whosoever shall," what?
00:51:12.37\00:51:14.04
"Keep the whole law,"
that means ten, right?
00:51:14.07\00:51:16.67
The whole law is ten.
00:51:16.71\00:51:18.21
"And yet offend in one point,
00:51:18.24\00:51:20.31
he is guilty of all."
00:51:20.34\00:51:22.91
And you can't
trace back the person
00:51:22.94\00:51:24.65
breaking any of the ten.
00:51:24.68\00:51:26.51
You trace back how they
affect all the other nine,
00:51:26.55\00:51:29.38
you really broken
them all, they touch.
00:51:29.42\00:51:32.45
So only one point, you can say,
00:51:32.49\00:51:33.96
well, I keep nine, that's good.
00:51:33.99\00:51:35.36
That's not good enough,
00:51:35.39\00:51:36.79
Bible says ten.
00:51:36.83\00:51:39.59
The good news if any man sin,
00:51:39.63\00:51:41.20
the Bible says,
we have an advocate
00:51:41.23\00:51:42.56
with the Father.
00:51:42.60\00:51:43.93
Isn't that
wonderful Jesus Christ?
00:51:43.97\00:51:45.30
1 John 2:1,
00:51:45.33\00:51:48.20
"The law of God
simply points out
00:51:48.24\00:51:49.60
our defects of
character it talks about here."
00:51:49.64\00:51:52.54
The Law of God
condemns us as sinners,
00:51:52.57\00:51:55.98
we talked about it
offers us no pardon.
00:51:56.01\00:51:58.68
It cannot save us.
00:51:58.71\00:52:00.65
But what does it do?
00:52:00.68\00:52:02.02
It points us to Jesus Christ.
00:52:02.05\00:52:03.59
To me, that's the good news.
00:52:03.62\00:52:05.15
When I fail and fall short,
00:52:05.19\00:52:06.52
it points me to Jesus Christ,
00:52:06.55\00:52:08.86
we can ask for forgiveness.
00:52:08.89\00:52:10.23
He's promised to forgive us.
00:52:10.26\00:52:12.49
But you know what?
00:52:12.53\00:52:13.86
He forgives us
but He doesn't do away
00:52:13.90\00:52:15.23
with the law.
00:52:15.26\00:52:16.60
It's still there
looking us in the face again.
00:52:16.63\00:52:20.54
He exalts the law.
00:52:20.57\00:52:21.97
Why would He exalts the law?
00:52:22.00\00:52:23.84
Because we mentioned
He is a detector of sin.
00:52:23.87\00:52:27.34
It takes blood to cleanse us,
00:52:27.38\00:52:29.11
it takes Calvary, praise God.
00:52:29.14\00:52:31.81
Question seven.
00:52:31.85\00:52:33.18
What did Jesus say in
evidence that we love him?
00:52:33.21\00:52:34.82
Here's our evidence.
00:52:34.85\00:52:37.49
Evidence, if you
say you love him today,
00:52:37.52\00:52:39.85
here's what the
Bible says in John 14:15,
00:52:39.89\00:52:42.36
"If you" do what?
00:52:42.39\00:52:43.73
Say for me, everybody,
00:52:43.76\00:52:45.09
"If you love me," do what?
00:52:45.13\00:52:46.70
"Keep My commandments."
00:52:46.73\00:52:49.36
Who said this?
00:52:49.40\00:52:50.87
Jesus said, if you love
Me, keep My commandments.
00:52:50.90\00:52:54.27
Jesus was God in human
flesh when He was here.
00:52:57.81\00:53:02.58
Does that make sense?
00:53:02.61\00:53:03.95
Jesus was God in human flesh.
00:53:03.98\00:53:07.58
John 14:11 says,
00:53:07.62\00:53:09.15
"Believe me that
I am in the Father,
00:53:09.18\00:53:11.12
and the Father in me."
00:53:11.15\00:53:13.72
God loves those who are obedient
00:53:13.76\00:53:15.59
to His commands.
00:53:15.62\00:53:17.66
And obedience is a
natural response to love.
00:53:17.69\00:53:21.83
If you say you love Him,
00:53:21.86\00:53:24.00
then it says you
will by the grace of God,
00:53:24.03\00:53:26.13
keep the commandments, all ten.
00:53:26.17\00:53:28.10
Don't say you love God
00:53:28.14\00:53:29.47
and say, well, I
don't have to keep them.
00:53:29.50\00:53:31.47
That's not what the
Bible, Bible teaches here that,
00:53:31.51\00:53:33.61
if you say you love and then
00:53:33.64\00:53:34.98
that's willing you want to obey,
00:53:35.01\00:53:36.34
you don't have to,
00:53:36.38\00:53:37.71
you want to
natural response of love.
00:53:37.75\00:53:41.55
John 14:24, time's running out,
00:53:41.58\00:53:44.19
said he that loveth me not
00:53:44.22\00:53:46.32
keepeth not my sayings.
00:53:46.35\00:53:48.42
So if we're not
gonna keep his sayings,
00:53:48.46\00:53:50.56
we can say we
love Him all we want.
00:53:50.59\00:53:51.93
But if you cannot keep yourself,
00:53:51.96\00:53:53.29
you don't
really love him at all.
00:53:53.33\00:53:55.53
Because the transgression
of God's law, question eight,
00:53:55.56\00:53:58.17
has made us sinners.
00:53:58.20\00:53:59.60
What was is it
necessary for Christ to do?
00:53:59.63\00:54:01.44
We wanna get this
in before we close,
00:54:01.47\00:54:02.90
Romans 5:8 said,
00:54:02.94\00:54:04.41
"God commendeth
his love toward us,
00:54:04.44\00:54:06.24
that while we were yet" what?
00:54:06.27\00:54:08.08
"Sinners, Christ died for us."
00:54:08.11\00:54:11.31
God's law had been
done away with, right?
00:54:11.35\00:54:13.92
Think about it.
00:54:13.95\00:54:15.28
There been no need for Calvary,
00:54:15.32\00:54:16.65
there been no need for
Jesus to come and live.
00:54:16.69\00:54:18.65
Calvary proves
beyond a shadow of a doubt,
00:54:18.69\00:54:20.82
the Ten Commandment
law is still binding
00:54:20.86\00:54:22.49
because Christ went to cross
00:54:22.52\00:54:23.89
and He died in our stead.
00:54:23.93\00:54:25.46
Praise God for that.
00:54:25.49\00:54:26.83
Revelation 22:14, At
the end the Bible said,
00:54:26.86\00:54:29.33
"Blessed are they that do" what?
00:54:29.36\00:54:31.93
Blessed are they
do His commandments
00:54:31.97\00:54:33.40
that they may have a
right to the tree of life."
00:54:33.44\00:54:35.90
We're gonna pray
here as time goes out.
00:54:35.94\00:54:37.47
Would you pray with me please?
00:54:37.51\00:54:39.54
Our loving Father in heaven,
00:54:39.57\00:54:40.91
we thank You for
Your precious Word.
00:54:40.94\00:54:42.28
We thank You for being with us.
00:54:42.31\00:54:44.15
We thank You for the, how
clear You made it in Your Word.
00:54:44.18\00:54:46.75
Bless us now, we pray those
who have made that decision
00:54:46.78\00:54:49.25
that they want to
follow You all the way
00:54:49.28\00:54:51.09
and a blessing be
pronounced upon them
00:54:51.12\00:54:52.72
in Jesus' name we
pray for his sake.
00:54:52.75\00:54:54.89
Amen.
00:54:54.92\00:54:56.26
Hello and welcome back, friends.
00:54:56.29\00:54:57.96
You know, one of my mother's
favorite passages in the Bible
00:54:57.99\00:55:00.93
was one that
Pastor Kenny covered
00:55:00.96\00:55:03.10
just a bit
earlier in today's program
00:55:03.13\00:55:05.63
and that being John 14:15,
00:55:05.67\00:55:09.30
it's a short verse.
00:55:09.34\00:55:11.11
And it reads,
00:55:11.14\00:55:12.47
"If you love Me,
00:55:12.51\00:55:14.41
keep My commandments."
00:55:14.44\00:55:16.58
That verse can speak
volumes to your heart,
00:55:16.61\00:55:20.58
if you just allow it to do so.
00:55:20.62\00:55:23.12
You know, the enemy
has tried to misrepresent
00:55:23.15\00:55:25.52
and malign God's
Ten Commandment law
00:55:25.55\00:55:28.32
in so many ways.
00:55:28.36\00:55:30.26
But here in this
one little verse,
00:55:30.29\00:55:33.16
Jesus sets it all straight.
00:55:33.19\00:55:35.30
If we love Him,
00:55:35.33\00:55:37.87
do you love Him?
00:55:37.90\00:55:39.80
Then should not this
law be written in your heart
00:55:39.83\00:55:42.84
and in your mind
00:55:42.87\00:55:44.67
that you may
not sin against Him.
00:55:44.71\00:55:47.24
Same principle goes for me.
00:55:47.28\00:55:50.25
And as we study
00:55:50.28\00:55:51.85
to fully understand
the Ten Commandments,
00:55:51.88\00:55:54.12
we get a much
bigger, much broader picture,
00:55:54.15\00:55:57.02
a clearer picture
of the character of God
00:55:57.05\00:55:59.79
and what life lived in
love and peace with God
00:55:59.82\00:56:03.16
and man is really all about.
00:56:03.19\00:56:06.66
Probably one of the
most profound thoughts
00:56:06.70\00:56:08.86
that we may
ponder in our minds is,
00:56:08.90\00:56:11.30
if we have no interest
00:56:11.33\00:56:13.30
or desire to live up
to the Ten Commandments,
00:56:13.34\00:56:15.90
or don't know much
about them in this life,
00:56:15.94\00:56:18.21
what makes us think
00:56:18.24\00:56:20.51
that we would be
happy living up to them,
00:56:20.54\00:56:23.45
and the life to come.
00:56:23.48\00:56:25.51
This is a thought that certainly
00:56:25.55\00:56:27.62
is worth coming to grips with,
00:56:27.65\00:56:29.92
now more than ever,
00:56:29.95\00:56:31.99
as we walk this
path of sanctification.
00:56:32.02\00:56:35.32
God will never force
us to love and obey Him,
00:56:35.36\00:56:38.36
but He does lovingly do
00:56:38.39\00:56:40.03
all that He can to
win our hearts to Him.
00:56:40.06\00:56:43.26
In closing today,
00:56:43.30\00:56:45.03
we hope that you
will desire this message
