It is the gift of God not of works 00:08:48.29\00:08:55.00 lest any should boost. 00:08:55.00\00:08:59.23 You know what justice is 00:08:59.23\00:09:02.67 justice is to get what you deserve. 00:09:02.67\00:09:07.81 Would you agree with that? 00:09:07.81\00:09:10.18 You know what? Mercy use 00:09:10.18\00:09:12.65 mercy is not to get what you do, sir. 00:09:12.65\00:09:19.65 But race is to get what you absolutely 00:09:19.65\00:09:27.03 to serve. 00:09:27.03\00:09:28.76 Salvation originated in the heart of God. God, the father, 00:09:28.76\00:09:34.54 son and holy Spirit, all acting 00:09:34.54\00:09:38.67 in the plan to save humanity. 00:09:38.67\00:09:42.64 Salvation flows out from God. A loon in the most tender 00:09:42.64\00:09:49.88 and self sacrificing a lot. 00:09:49.88\00:09:54.22 God is rich in mercy. He is rich in kindness. And his plan 00:09:54.22\00:10:01.16 is not just to save us from the penalty you, Sam, 00:10:01.16\00:10:07.04 but to also save us from the power of sand and eventually 00:10:07.04\00:10:14.11 hallelujah to save us from the presence of scent 00:10:14.11\00:10:20.82 to display his in measurable rich is the measurable riches 00:10:20.82\00:10:27.22 of his grace. 00:10:27.22\00:10:28.92 Salvation is God's gift. 00:10:28.92\00:10:35.10 We are not saved by grace alone. 00:10:35.10\00:10:43.74 Does that make sense? There were not saved by grace alone 00:10:43.74\00:10:47.94 are all would be saved. 00:10:47.94\00:10:50.18 We're not saved by face alone 00:10:50.18\00:10:55.45 because 00:10:55.45\00:10:57.19 that would do away with grace. 00:10:57.19\00:10:59.52 We are saved 00:10:59.52\00:11:01.56 by Grace 00:11:01.56\00:11:03.06 plus the face of Jesus Christ. 00:11:03.06\00:11:07.76 We have to look too 00:11:07.76\00:11:11.67 author and finisher the perfect or of our faith 00:11:11.67\00:11:19.11 humanity. Listen to what I'm going to say 00:11:19.11\00:11:23.38 has no part in some patients. 00:11:23.38\00:11:26.98 There is absolutely nothing 00:11:29.75\00:11:33.09 that you and I can do to merit 00:11:33.09\00:11:35.46 the gift salvation. It is wrong to say that God does his part 00:11:35.46\00:11:41.46 to say this 00:11:41.46\00:11:42.83 and we do our part. 00:11:42.83\00:11:44.90 That is incorrect and you'll understand when we get through 00:11:44.90\00:11:47.90 this. 00:11:47.90\00:11:49.14 But the promise of South Bay, Shannon is conditional. 00:11:49.14\00:11:55.38 It requires belief 00:11:55.38\00:11:58.31 it requires acceptance, which means we confess our sins. 00:11:58.31\00:12:03.62 We repent. 00:12:03.62\00:12:05.05 We yield in submission to God. When we think about salvation, 00:12:05.05\00:12:12.76 it naturally requires 00:12:12.76\00:12:16.16 that we hear 00:12:16.16\00:12:18.73 his word. His truth 00:12:18.73\00:12:21.50 saith comes by 00:12:21.50\00:12:23.94 and hearing by me, 00:12:23.94\00:12:26.54 word of God. I'm a nut. Try not to get on a hobby horse here. 00:12:26.54\00:12:31.71 But let me say yes, 00:12:31.71\00:12:34.25 we travel. 00:12:34.25\00:12:36.95 This generation is in trouble. 00:12:36.95\00:12:40.86 You know why? We're no longer readers. 00:12:40.86\00:12:44.03 We've got the more we use technology, the more we develop 00:12:44.03\00:12:50.30 the attention span of a hummingbird. 00:12:50.30\00:12:53.17 Everybody wants a 10 minute miss which they want us story. 00:12:53.17\00:12:58.77 They want you to give some sweet little story with a 00:12:58.77\00:13:01.31 spiritual principle. 00:13:01.31\00:13:03.48 Someone told me, well, she says taught pair both all the time. 00:13:03.48\00:13:08.92 Do you think the sermon on the Mount was a parable house? 00:13:08.92\00:13:12.15 A pretty deep theology. 00:13:12.15\00:13:14.56 The Paul teach parables 00:13:14.56\00:13:17.36 Peter teach parables. Did anybody else teach in parables? 00:13:17.36\00:13:22.36 See, we're getting to the point 00:13:22.36\00:13:26.43 for a specially our young people. 00:13:26.43\00:13:29.64 I don't want to be topped the Bible. 00:13:29.64\00:13:33.74 They want to hear is sweet little spiritual principle, 00:13:33.74\00:13:38.18 a sweet little story that touches their heart. We've got 00:13:38.18\00:13:43.45 to return to reading. I loved what town 00:13:43.45\00:13:47.69 Pastor Phipps Whitley Phipps was saying 00:13:47.69\00:13:51.86 we need books 00:13:51.86\00:13:55.63 now. I'm just you might think I'm saying this because I just 00:13:55.63\00:13:58.23 finished my book. 00:13:58.23\00:14:00.74 250 pages have got to cut it down. Now 00:14:00.74\00:14:06.27 we know it's all Bible. It's all about God's everlasting 00:14:06.27\00:14:10.81 covenant. 00:14:10.81\00:14:12.11 It's all about righteousness spike today. 00:14:12.11\00:14:15.25 But you know what you're saying? Nobody is going to read 00:14:15.25\00:14:17.85 a 250 page book. 00:14:17.85\00:14:20.76 >> Whoa, we're in trouble. 00:14:20.76\00:14:24.23 We're in trouble because nobody wants to read it anymore. 00:14:24.23\00:14:28.80 >> We 00:14:31.07\00:14:32.90 leave. 00:14:32.90\00:14:35.00 >> And receive 00:14:35.00\00:14:37.24 Jesus Christ. 00:14:37.24\00:14:40.08 We come into covenant relationship with got be 00:14:40.08\00:14:43.24 leaving in Jesus 00:14:43.24\00:14:47.65 means to be living 00:14:47.65\00:14:51.55 in Jesus. 00:14:51.55\00:14:54.49 So let's look at the Fusion's to can 00:14:54.49\00:14:58.43 by grace for saved through faith. 00:14:58.43\00:15:00.53 >> Not of works less any man should boost for. We are Hughes 00:15:00.53\00:15:05.50 workmanship. You are God's work of art. 00:15:05.50\00:15:09.24 We are. His workmanship 00:15:09.24\00:15:12.51 created in Christ Jesus. 00:15:12.51\00:15:16.78 We've got to be in Christ Jesus 00:15:16.78\00:15:20.65 to do good works, which got prepared before hand 00:15:20.65\00:15:25.72 that we should walk in them. 00:15:25.72\00:15:28.02 What am I saying? What is Paul saying? 00:15:28.02\00:15:31.59 He is saying the face of Jesus cannot be said and it from good 00:15:31.59\00:15:35.36 works. Amir profession of faith is not going to save us. 00:15:35.36\00:15:40.04 Got plan of salvation is to make us like she says 00:15:40.04\00:15:44.37 and I love psalm 85 13. It says righteousness goes before him 00:15:44.37\00:15:51.01 and makes his pathway. 00:15:51.01\00:15:53.65 I await of that. We should walk in. See when we are in Christ. 00:15:53.65\00:15:59.92 We understand what God has done for us. 00:15:59.92\00:16:04.03 We will have in our hearts a loyal key for the Lord loyalty 00:16:04.03\00:16:11.47 that is motivated by love and we will walk in what Paul calls 00:16:11.47\00:16:18.04 obedience to the face. 00:16:18.04\00:16:22.14 That means for complying. 00:16:22.14\00:16:25.01 >> With the good works that got prepared in advance for us to 00:16:25.01\00:16:28.55 follow Christ lives in our hearts. How 00:16:28.55\00:16:33.72 he lives in our hearts by faith. That's what the fee 00:16:33.72\00:16:36.89 shuns. 3.17 says when the Holy Spirit is in our hearts Christ 00:16:36.89\00:16:43.23 lives in our hearts by faith. He works through us. The work 00:16:43.23\00:16:49.80 of 00:16:49.80\00:16:50.84 >> safe is a spirit empowered work 00:16:50.84\00:16:55.38 in Christ. Jesus, we obey 00:16:55.38\00:16:58.91 by Grace. Did you know that 00:16:58.91\00:17:02.58 Philippians 2.13 says he works in us keeping the spirit 00:17:02.58\00:17:09.89 she says 00:17:09.89\00:17:11.26 works in us to will and to do his good pleasure. 00:17:11.26\00:17:17.10 You can't do it on your own. 00:17:17.10\00:17:19.77 You have to have the holy spirit to do this. 00:17:19.77\00:17:25.41 What we're doing is counting on God 00:17:25.41\00:17:30.71 to do this work in our heart. Yes, we have to cooperate, 00:17:30.71\00:17:35.55 but he promises he will complete that work 80 again in 00:17:35.55\00:17:39.15 us. 00:17:39.15\00:17:40.66 Isn't that beautiful? Now invite you to turn to James 00:17:40.66\00:17:46.03 Chapter 2, 00:17:46.03\00:17:48.10 James, Chapter 2. 00:17:48.10\00:17:51.57 And let me just say this. 00:17:51.57\00:17:54.90 There are not works of face in your life. 00:17:54.90\00:18:00.88 The genuine face does not exist. 00:18:00.88\00:18:04.95 James, chapter to you did you know, James is the first book 00:18:04.95\00:18:10.19 that was written of the New Testament. 00:18:10.19\00:18:12.99 And I believe 00:18:12.99\00:18:15.09 that what he is doing here, people have learned salvation 00:18:15.09\00:18:20.50 by grace through faith. 00:18:20.50\00:18:22.43 But maybe people were getting a little bit too far to the left 00:18:22.43\00:18:28.84 about to fall off the path. So James, to say, hey, I it 00:18:28.84\00:18:32.24 it's 00:18:32.24\00:18:33.94 salvation by grace through faith. But listen to what he 00:18:33.94\00:18:37.38 says. That's also James to 17. 00:18:37.38\00:18:41.62 That's also faith by itself. If it does not have works is 00:18:41.62\00:18:47.22 what, Dan, you know, some people go to an evangelistic 00:18:47.22\00:18:52.06 meeting and they hear the word of God and make it all excited. 00:18:52.06\00:18:57.33 They accept Jesus Christ 00:18:57.33\00:19:00.67 and then the devil comes some parks. That word 00:19:00.67\00:19:03.57 SA's without works is dead. It's stillborn. 00:19:03.57\00:19:09.54 That faith was warning you but it still board. He says some 00:19:09.54\00:19:14.32 will say you have faith. I have works. 00:19:14.32\00:19:17.49 James says show me your works. Are your faith without your 00:19:17.49\00:19:21.22 works? I will show you my fate by my works. You believe that 00:19:21.22\00:19:26.29 there is one God 00:19:26.29\00:19:29.13 you do? Well, even the demons believe and tremble. See, 00:19:29.13\00:19:35.14 it's not about mental ascension 00:19:35.14\00:19:39.67 face by grace through faith is to enter into a relationship 00:19:39.67\00:19:45.85 with Christ. But the you know, foolish man that faith without 00:19:45.85\00:19:49.82 works is take. It was not Abraham. Our father justified 00:19:49.82\00:19:54.86 works by works. When he offered, I see kids, some of 00:19:54.86\00:19:58.29 the Alton BC 00:19:58.29\00:20:00.40 faith was working together with his works 00:20:00.40\00:20:04.43 and by works 00:20:04.43\00:20:06.74 was made her pick 00:20:06.74\00:20:08.80 and the scripture was fulfilled, which sense that 00:20:08.80\00:20:13.78 he's going to, quote, Genesis, 15, 6 00:20:13.78\00:20:16.98 Abraham believed God. And it was a counted to him for 00:20:16.98\00:20:23.62 righteousness. 00:20:23.62\00:20:25.29 And he was called 00:20:25.29\00:20:27.22 the friend, got 00:20:27.22\00:20:29.89 God's ever lasting Kevin it his plant. So the nation has always 00:20:29.89\00:20:38.43 been righteousness 00:20:38.43\00:20:41.37 by faith. 00:20:41.37\00:20:44.07 Did you hear what I stand 00:20:44.07\00:20:46.21 from the very beginning when Adam in a God created Adam and 00:20:46.21\00:20:51.65 Eve in his image, 00:20:51.65\00:20:56.48 put his moral code of love in their heart 00:20:56.48\00:21:00.96 and he gave them the gift of free will. Why did God keep us 00:21:00.96\00:21:05.36 free will 00:21:05.36\00:21:06.93 because it 00:21:06.93\00:21:08.33 he want is for the sake of love. I heard someone say love 00:21:08.33\00:21:13.40 it is for the sake of love, God and smoking for us to choose 00:21:13.40\00:21:19.87 him. 00:21:19.87\00:21:21.08 He wants us to choose to love him for it. He had not given us 00:21:21.08\00:21:26.98 free will if we had just been programmed. 00:21:26.98\00:21:31.89 Yes, an ally. 00:21:31.89\00:21:33.96 Thank you. Know, I I love. You know, I'd 00:21:33.96\00:21:38.96 >> would have been nothing more but robots, Hans 00:21:38.96\00:21:42.23 with out free will. 00:21:42.23\00:21:45.20 But you know what happened? 00:21:45.20\00:21:49.40 >> I want to get ahead of myself. 00:21:49.40\00:21:51.57 Yeah. You 00:21:51.57\00:21:53.27 what happened to it? 00:21:53.27\00:21:58.28 Even made a mistake 00:21:58.28\00:22:01.98 when she engaged in a conversation with the devil. 00:22:01.98\00:22:06.99 Do you hear what I'm saying? 00:22:06.99\00:22:10.43 She saw that. 00:22:10.43\00:22:12.33 Yeah. Sling Serpent would snake back in. 00:22:12.33\00:22:18.47 He didn't become a snake that slithered in the dust until God 00:22:18.47\00:22:22.24 curse to. But she saw this dazzling serpent in a tree. 00:22:22.24\00:22:27.48 A serpent wasn't unusual to her. 00:22:27.48\00:22:30.51 What was different? 00:22:30.51\00:22:32.61 This one was a massacre. It was say using the circuit 00:22:32.61\00:22:36.92 has a medium masquerading as an angel of light 00:22:36.92\00:22:41.69 and he began to talk to her. 00:22:41.69\00:22:44.89 What 00:22:44.89\00:22:46.06 talking serpent. That raises my curiosity 00:22:46.06\00:22:50.43 and she engaged in conversation with the devil. 00:22:50.43\00:22:54.14 Can I tell you something? 00:22:54.14\00:22:56.24 Don't in cage in a conversation with the devil 00:22:56.24\00:23:00.81 when someone is speaking to you in a way that is up hosting 00:23:00.81\00:23:05.51 God's word. 00:23:05.51\00:23:07.68 Don't engage in that conversation. Don't go there. 00:23:07.68\00:23:12.89 When you read something online that inviting you to a site 00:23:12.89\00:23:18.66 when when things pop up on your computer, 00:23:18.66\00:23:22.53 don't engage in that conversation with the devil 00:23:22.53\00:23:26.17 because he'll talk into something that you don't want 00:23:26.17\00:23:28.54 to do. 00:23:28.54\00:23:29.97 But the point is 00:23:29.97\00:23:32.67 Eve was to see what she thought. What she was doing was 00:23:37.31\00:23:41.65 right. 00:23:41.65\00:23:43.05 Adam was not the seat. 00:23:43.05\00:23:45.99 That's what Paul wrote to Timothy 00:23:45.99\00:23:49.09 made a conscious choice. 00:23:49.09\00:23:51.46 But here's what I want to tell you. God had created a perfect 00:23:51.46\00:23:57.37 spear of righteousness. He had set them in this beautiful 00:23:57.37\00:24:01.64 guard. 00:24:01.64\00:24:03.14 And as soon as Sen 00:24:03.14\00:24:06.51 penetrated their righteous hearts, we don't know how long 00:24:06.51\00:24:10.85 they've lived in the guard. Did you know there's 2000 years 00:24:10.85\00:24:14.32 of history 00:24:14.32\00:24:15.52 in just the first 11 chapters of Genesis 2000 years? 00:24:15.52\00:24:23.59 So we don't know how long they were there. But what happened 00:24:23.59\00:24:28.33 is don't miss this point. As soon as sin 00:24:28.33\00:24:34.70 penetrated their heart, 00:24:34.70\00:24:37.51 they lost the spiritual virginity 00:24:37.51\00:24:41.88 and there was nothing 00:24:41.88\00:24:44.25 they could do 00:24:44.25\00:24:46.35 to recover it. 00:24:46.35\00:24:49.42 >> Their nature was passed down to us. The fallen nature was 00:24:49.42\00:24:53.46 passed down to us. There is absolutely nothing 00:24:53.46\00:24:59.16 we can do 00:24:59.16\00:25:00.63 to recover. 00:25:00.63\00:25:02.50 So God had this plan that of righteousness pipe and they're 00:25:02.50\00:25:07.80 in Genesis 3.15, as soon as seen in the world. 00:25:07.80\00:25:13.17 Hate hosts a nominal put in A T between you and the woman 00:25:13.17\00:25:17.95 between her seat in your city pace, you're going to bruise 00:25:17.95\00:25:21.58 his heel, but he's going to crush your head. That was the 00:25:21.58\00:25:25.52 announcement, 00:25:25.52\00:25:27.26 the Everlasting Covenant. 00:25:27.26\00:25:29.42 And then he ratifies this covenant in the form of edition 00:25:29.42\00:25:35.76 with Abraham in Genesis Chapter 15 and it says Aybar him 00:25:35.76\00:25:43.30 believed cots message and it was a counted. It was imputed. 00:25:43.30\00:25:49.94 It was credited to him has tried to snus 00:25:49.94\00:25:55.62 the kiss. Wow. 00:25:55.62\00:25:58.02 Abrahams. The father of all. Isn't that what the New 00:25:58.02\00:26:00.72 Testament says? 00:26:00.72\00:26:02.92 So righteousness by Faith is God's Plan. 00:26:02.92\00:26:06.13 Genesis. 17, one, 00:26:06.13\00:26:08.60 a couple of chapters some time has passed by. 00:26:08.60\00:26:12.20 >> We don't know exactly how many years pass by between 00:26:12.20\00:26:15.20 Doona says 15 in Genesis 17. But you know what? God comes 00:26:15.20\00:26:19.64 and says to this man has been saved by righteousness by 00:26:19.64\00:26:23.61 Faith, 00:26:23.61\00:26:24.78 Genesis, 17, one, he says walk before me and people like us. 00:26:24.78\00:26:35.12 You main righteousness by faith includes obedience. Absolutely. 00:26:35.12\00:26:42.00 Abraham was the friend of God because he followed caught in 00:26:42.00\00:26:46.27 obedience to the face. Good works can never produce 00:26:46.27\00:26:52.67 salvation, but they are the evidence of salvation. 00:26:52.67\00:26:58.68 Good works are not the route 00:26:58.68\00:27:02.52 of salvation. They are though fruit of salvation. And Jesus 00:27:02.52\00:27:08.46 said in John 15, 5 when he says on the vine your the branches, 00:27:08.46\00:27:13.23 he said if you are abiding in me, what's going to happen? 00:27:13.23\00:27:19.57 You're gonna produce much fruit. So let me just hit this 00:27:19.57\00:27:25.17 before. We just tell you what Legalism is. Let me tell you 00:27:25.17\00:27:31.81 what Legalism is not 00:27:31.81\00:27:35.45 obedience is not legal. Listen, 00:27:35.45\00:27:40.56 obedience is love. 00:27:40.56\00:27:44.06 Obedience is our loyal t 00:27:44.06\00:27:48.93 to our God. Obedience is the highest IX freshen of worship 00:27:48.93\00:27:56.34 for God. Jesus said in John 14, 15, if you love me, 00:27:56.34\00:28:03.91 my commandments, but we usually stop there 00:28:03.91\00:28:09.28 between John 14, 15 and the next for 16. 00:28:09.28\00:28:13.96 There is. And and 00:28:13.96\00:28:18.49 so he's saying if you love me, keep my commandments and 00:28:18.49\00:28:24.30 I will pray the father and he will get you another help or 00:28:24.30\00:28:29.20 that he may abide with you for ever. In other words, if you 00:28:29.20\00:28:33.31 love me 00:28:33.31\00:28:36.51 and keep my commandments effects, your attitude 00:28:36.51\00:28:40.35 for that reason, 00:28:40.35\00:28:42.28 I'm going to ask the father to fill you with the Holy Spirit. 00:28:42.28\00:28:46.99 You've got to have an attitude of acceptance and obedience 00:28:46.99\00:28:52.39 acts by 32 says that God gives the holy spirit 00:28:52.39\00:28:57.80 to those who obey him. 00:28:57.80\00:29:01.64 The Bible says 00:29:04.81\00:29:06.84 when Jesus was perfect, it 00:29:06.84\00:29:09.71 he became the author of Eternal Salvation, says Hey, Bruce, 00:29:09.71\00:29:14.65 5, 9, 00:29:14.65\00:29:16.65 Jesus became a the author 00:29:16.65\00:29:20.39 of the Turtle Salvation 00:29:20.39\00:29:23.02 to all those who pay him. 00:29:23.02\00:29:27.76 C 00:29:27.76\00:29:28.93 there's this argument even in our church, 00:29:28.93\00:29:34.00 I'm saved by grace 00:29:34.00\00:29:37.01 through face. 00:29:37.01\00:29:39.04 I don't have to worry about beatings. What 00:29:39.04\00:29:43.98 you remember. 00:29:43.98\00:29:46.78 Who are the sons of Thunder? 00:29:46.78\00:29:50.29 >> John and his brother, James. 00:29:50.29\00:29:54.26 So here's John, the son of Thunder. 00:29:54.26\00:29:59.43 Once he understood what she says head 00:29:59.43\00:30:02.40 done for him, he became known as the possible love. And 00:30:02.40\00:30:08.17 when's the last time you read First, John, 00:30:08.17\00:30:11.94 I love first shot. If you read first, John, you understand 00:30:11.94\00:30:17.38 that 00:30:17.38\00:30:18.45 love in a way that you may not otherwise understand it. 00:30:18.45\00:30:22.65 And I want to encourage everyone if you haven't read 00:30:22.65\00:30:25.09 first job for a while read, let me just give you a few quick. 00:30:25.09\00:30:28.96 He's here first on 5, 3, This is the love of God. John says 00:30:28.96\00:30:34.56 that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not 00:30:34.56\00:30:38.60 burdened. So why not? Because he's working in you, too, 00:30:38.60\00:30:42.04 willing to do is could Pletcher. 00:30:42.04\00:30:44.87 And in first, John to 3, 6, he says 00:30:44.87\00:30:48.28 by this, we know that we know him if we keep his 00:30:48.28\00:30:51.81 commandments, hey, who says I know him 00:30:51.81\00:30:55.42 and does not keep his commandments 00:30:55.42\00:30:58.89 is a liar 00:30:58.89\00:31:00.52 and the truth is not in him. But who ever keeps its word? 00:31:00.52\00:31:05.59 Truly, the love of God is perfected in hand 00:31:05.59\00:31:10.10 by this. We know 00:31:10.10\00:31:12.33 we're in him. He who says he abides in him. Watt also 00:31:12.33\00:31:17.87 to walk is to swap. That's what it means to be in Christ is 00:31:17.87\00:31:24.65 that you are going to follow in his what steps on the path of 00:31:24.65\00:31:30.59 righteousness. 00:31:30.59\00:31:34.79 What is legal? Listen, 00:31:34.79\00:31:38.23 did you know that there's no Hebrew word 00:31:38.23\00:31:41.70 in the Bible 00:31:41.70\00:31:43.20 for legal list. 00:31:43.20\00:31:44.87 There is no Greek word in the Bible for lead to us. 00:31:44.87\00:31:50.41 Did you know that Legalism didn't exist in the Old 00:31:50.41\00:31:54.91 Testament? 00:31:54.91\00:31:57.08 You know, one legalism got started 00:31:57.08\00:32:00.52 now a kind during the 400 years. They call it the inner 00:32:00.52\00:32:04.42 test. The middle period between now high and math. There were 00:32:04.42\00:32:08.99 400 years 00:32:08.99\00:32:11.19 of silence. God bless him, speaking through profit. 00:32:11.19\00:32:15.06 And that is when the sick of the series sees 00:32:15.06\00:32:19.13 came up and the fears sees war, progress. See set 00:32:19.13\00:32:24.97 kind of thinking about how when not 00:32:24.97\00:32:29.08 Danny was speaking this morning. 00:32:29.08\00:32:32.18 There's seas. We're a pretty poor SC 6 and they can't making 00:32:32.18\00:32:38.25 oral traditions. 00:32:38.25\00:32:40.79 They actually were counterfeit to got S-word 00:32:40.79\00:32:45.69 and they were a little list. The group most of your scribes 00:32:45.69\00:32:50.10 were Ferris sees it. Ferris sees were in control of the 00:32:50.10\00:32:54.60 Senate Gox. Now any time you get somebody when the pendulum 00:32:54.60\00:33:00.08 swings, I'll go to my right side. I have a wounded arm 00:33:00.08\00:33:04.01 here. So when the pendulum swings that far, 00:33:04.01\00:33:10.62 you've got the momentum that's going. 00:33:10.62\00:33:13.76 So the fair seas rise up 00:33:13.76\00:33:16.42 and they've got all of these oral traditions that made the 00:33:16.42\00:33:21.03 word of God of no effect and what happens just sheer 00:33:21.03\00:33:25.73 momentum of that swing. The pendulum comes back this other 00:33:25.73\00:33:31.01 direction and during the same time period not long after its 00:33:31.01\00:33:35.61 terror seas. Rice's 00:33:35.61\00:33:38.68 that said, you see he's now the sad to see East 00:33:38.68\00:33:43.52 only believed in the first 5 books of the Bible, the books 00:33:43.52\00:33:47.02 of Moses. But the sad to see where politically politically 00:33:47.02\00:33:54.00 correct 00:33:54.00\00:33:55.60 the said, you see these 00:33:55.60\00:33:58.07 we're liberals. 00:33:58.07\00:34:00.97 It's interesting. They believed the 5 books of Moses, but 00:34:00.97\00:34:04.11 they're kind of you girls. 00:34:04.11\00:34:06.14 So you've got these 2 opposing forces and this is Woodley 00:34:06.14\00:34:10.88 cooler summer rose. What is legal is if there's no word in 00:34:10.88\00:34:15.48 the Bible for we've got to define what we need. 00:34:15.48\00:34:19.32 LIGO U.S. 00:34:19.32\00:34:21.29 is trying to burn or merit salvation by our works. It is 00:34:21.29\00:34:27.86 trying to secure right standing with God by our deeds trying to 00:34:27.86\00:34:34.30 earn got favor by works. 00:34:34.30\00:34:39.74 May go. Listen. 00:34:39.74\00:34:42.98 Depends on self righteousness, 00:34:42.98\00:34:48.68 not 00:34:48.68\00:34:49.98 on Christ. Righteousness. 00:34:49.98\00:34:53.49 Repeat that after be legal is it depends on what 00:34:53.49\00:34:57.93 self righteousness 00:34:57.93\00:35:01.13 rather than on Christ righteousness. 00:35:01.13\00:35:05.80 So 00:35:05.80\00:35:08.14 Legalism is the foundation of all fall religions. 00:35:08.14\00:35:14.98 Legal list are not Christian. 00:35:14.98\00:35:17.78 I think that we need to look at some of the symptoms of legal 00:35:25.95\00:35:29.12 listen. So we can do is self diagnosis. 00:35:29.12\00:35:32.99 I want to give you 3 that I used to suffer from 00:35:32.99\00:35:38.10 quite a bit and I'm not going to say that they do crop up. 00:35:38.10\00:35:42.67 Okay. Shun light. 00:35:42.67\00:35:45.11 Here is a symptom of legal is 00:35:45.11\00:35:49.64 the lack true joy because you're constantly focused 00:35:49.64\00:35:54.22 on what you need to do for God 00:35:54.22\00:35:56.79 rather than what God has done for you. 00:35:56.79\00:36:00.56 Oh, that was me. 00:36:00.56\00:36:02.92 I was a good little Sunday school school teacher all 00:36:02.92\00:36:06.73 through my high school. I did everything I could 00:36:06.73\00:36:11.57 God's favor. 00:36:11.57\00:36:13.84 I was taught if you were. It was interesting. We didn't 00:36:13.84\00:36:17.07 study revelation. We're kind of forbidden to study revelation. 00:36:17.07\00:36:22.38 But my mother often quoted that 00:36:22.38\00:36:25.75 the scripture from revelation that 00:36:25.75\00:36:28.72 Jesus told to lay to see and if you're lukewarm when a bomb it. 00:36:28.72\00:36:33.39 Yeah, one now. 00:36:33.39\00:36:35.49 And so 00:36:35.49\00:36:36.89 I lacked a true joy. That's legal. Is 00:36:36.89\00:36:41.10 you lack. He's 00:36:41.10\00:36:43.03 because you feel God is never happy with you. 00:36:43.03\00:36:47.10 That's legal. 00:36:47.10\00:36:50.24 Getting close to home for some of us, isn't it? 00:36:50.24\00:36:53.78 I know people 00:36:53.78\00:36:56.68 and there's a lady of ministering to for probably 20 00:36:56.68\00:37:00.32 years and about once every 3 months she calls me and says 00:37:00.32\00:37:04.85 >> was not going to be ready for Christ's return and use on 00:37:04.85\00:37:09.82 never. 00:37:09.82\00:37:11.43 >> I've talked to her about if you are in Christ, you can have 00:37:11.43\00:37:15.40 assurance salvation. That's what first, John, 5.10, to 12 00:37:15.40\00:37:19.17 since the summit. 00:37:19.17\00:37:20.44 This is the testimony. If you're in Christ your Saint 00:37:20.44\00:37:25.87 now, of course, you want to make sure you're in crops. 00:37:25.87\00:37:30.68 Here's another 00:37:30.68\00:37:32.78 symptom 00:37:32.78\00:37:35.52 is religion for you. Perform a religion. 00:37:35.52\00:37:41.39 In other words, you've got a case of the do Morse. 00:37:41.39\00:37:44.43 Oh, my goodness. That was me. 00:37:44.43\00:37:47.96 Whoa, I need to pray, but I need to read my hope not what's 00:37:47.96\00:37:54.64 wrong with me. How can you put up with me? 00:37:54.64\00:38:00.78 Say it shouldn't be. 00:38:00.78\00:38:02.98 I need to pray more. 00:38:02.98\00:38:05.51 We should be saying we understand God's plan. I love 00:38:05.51\00:38:10.29 tip, right? 00:38:10.29\00:38:11.85 It shouldn't be. I need to study more. He's 00:38:11.85\00:38:15.22 >> all. Are you working as life to be your word and spirit and 00:38:15.22\00:38:19.33 love? I love to reach Europe right now. 00:38:19.33\00:38:23.57 >> God has helped me through this 00:38:26.74\00:38:29.54 and I'm not going to say and am I the only one 00:38:29.54\00:38:34.38 after I I spent 10 weeks at the feet of the Lord 00:38:34.38\00:38:38.38 writing every morning I would pray 00:38:38.38\00:38:42.22 have wrote for 14 hours a day writing this book. It's 00:38:42.22\00:38:46.55 and that sale. You want to show me things that are fenced in 00:38:46.55\00:38:49.32 and hit him and he can. 00:38:49.32\00:38:52.16 I mean, I'm we're not doing something like that. I never 00:38:52.16\00:38:55.46 trust what I've already study. I come back and I BC studying 00:38:55.46\00:38:59.27 and the pride had stood and he showing me things that we like. 00:38:59.27\00:39:04.57 This is due in court 00:39:04.57\00:39:06.74 as much as that's tended to have never seen it before. 00:39:06.74\00:39:09.21 Did you know you can't exhaust God's word 00:39:09.21\00:39:13.55 a while before you begin studying? Always ask for the 00:39:13.55\00:39:17.65 guidance of the Holy Spirit. Their spiritual words, their 00:39:17.65\00:39:21.09 spirit, really the start, but ask to see things that are 00:39:21.09\00:39:24.49 fenced in him. Couple show you if you show an interest, 00:39:24.49\00:39:28.76 he's going to show you which you know what happened 10 00:39:28.76\00:39:32.37 weeks, 14 hours a day, not one day off in 10 weeks, ice at the 00:39:32.37\00:39:38.37 feet of the Lord. 00:39:38.37\00:39:39.91 And guess what happened when I finished? 00:39:39.91\00:39:44.58 He's so funny. I decided I need a couple of days break. 00:39:44.58\00:39:50.25 Remember what David Shinn was saying about idle time and not 00:39:50.25\00:39:53.92 having purpose. 00:39:53.92\00:39:55.59 >> By my second day of a break, it's like, Oh, what's wrong 00:39:55.59\00:40:00.20 with me, Lord. 00:40:00.20\00:40:03.03 And then I realized, 00:40:03.03\00:40:05.07 wow, I was under spiritual attack. 00:40:05.07\00:40:09.54 It was kind of one of these allied you moments where you 00:40:09.54\00:40:12.51 just had godhead you up on the mountain. Everything was 00:40:12.51\00:40:16.44 excited. And now all of a sudden 00:40:16.44\00:40:19.28 I was under spiritual attack. 00:40:19.28\00:40:22.15 So I don't mean to say the symptoms. 00:40:22.15\00:40:25.35 >> Guaranteed that your and make a list. I don't consider 00:40:25.35\00:40:28.26 myself a leak a list, 00:40:28.26\00:40:30.39 but we have to be careful. 00:40:30.39\00:40:33.33 Let me tell you some more. 00:40:33.33\00:40:36.83 If I haven't stepped on toes yet, we might 00:40:36.83\00:40:42.64 make a list often feel superior 00:40:42.64\00:40:46.61 because of their Bible. Not right. 00:40:46.61\00:40:50.68 Legal list 00:40:50.68\00:40:52.81 pride 00:40:52.81\00:40:54.72 in what they do. 00:40:54.72\00:40:57.22 One of the meanest spirit to people that I've ever met a 00:40:57.22\00:41:00.62 number of years ago, 00:41:00.62\00:41:03.19 a tacky person, 00:41:05.83\00:41:08.03 somebody you really had to pray to love heavy. You know, 00:41:08.03\00:41:11.40 some people are easy to love up. Would you agree? 00:41:11.40\00:41:14.67 And then you've got puts people in your packet, you're really 00:41:14.67\00:41:17.37 happening, pray to him up. And I was praying hard to look 00:41:17.37\00:41:20.84 this person. 00:41:20.84\00:41:22.04 And you know what this person said, 00:41:22.04\00:41:24.45 I'm ready to be translated it. 00:41:24.45\00:41:28.18 I'm a vegan 00:41:28.18\00:41:30.45 I pay my tie. 00:41:30.45\00:41:35.42 The ghost 00:41:35.42\00:41:38.49 make a list and we've got to ask yourself, 00:41:38.49\00:41:43.03 are we adding human rules to God's divine plan and then 00:41:43.03\00:41:47.10 treating our human rules as divine? 00:41:47.10\00:41:52.91 You know, sometimes 00:41:52.91\00:41:55.24 and let me say this to parents, grandparents, please listen to 00:41:55.24\00:42:00.18 this rules without relationship result in rebellion. 00:42:00.18\00:42:06.62 If you 00:42:06.62\00:42:08.76 don't make the Sabbath joy for your children, 00:42:08.76\00:42:13.26 if you make the Sabbath list, if you can't do this, you can't 00:42:13.26\00:42:16.73 do that and it just can can can can Cain. 00:42:16.73\00:42:20.90 They're not learning that this is a special day set apart for 00:42:20.90\00:42:25.34 relationship building with a little word and the church. 00:42:25.34\00:42:28.74 We got to protect it. 00:42:28.74\00:42:32.61 Our children 00:42:32.61\00:42:35.52 from rules 00:42:35.52\00:42:37.32 without relationship. 00:42:37.32\00:42:39.42 The Ferris sees. We're passionate about their manmade 00:42:39.42\00:42:43.19 traditions. They developed all of these oral traditions. 00:42:43.19\00:42:47.00 What they did, they weren't. They weren't found in 00:42:47.00\00:42:49.86 scripture. They went far beyond scripture and sometimes we can 00:42:49.86\00:42:53.17 do that as well. And they pushed non essential standards. 00:42:53.17\00:42:58.47 It 00:42:58.47\00:42:59.57 on people in made religion miserable. 00:42:59.57\00:43:04.88 Growing up. 00:43:04.88\00:43:07.12 We were taught 00:43:07.12\00:43:09.85 you could not have a skirt. 00:43:09.85\00:43:12.85 That was more than a half inch above the knee 00:43:12.85\00:43:16.73 and then measured it. 00:43:16.73\00:43:19.63 If you had a skirt half inch above the knee are going to be 00:43:19.63\00:43:22.46 sent home 00:43:22.46\00:43:23.70 from church. 00:43:23.70\00:43:25.53 We could wear short. I still can't wear shorts. That was 00:43:29.04\00:43:32.71 that was something that was so drummed into my head that it 00:43:32.71\00:43:36.54 was to send wear shorts. I bought a pair of shorts, 00:43:36.54\00:43:39.81 warm one day and 00:43:39.81\00:43:41.55 felt like a center all day long. So if it's not, 00:43:41.55\00:43:44.72 it's not of safe. It is a sin rights. So anyway, I can't were 00:43:44.72\00:43:50.09 short. 00:43:50.09\00:43:53.19 Let me ask you this. 00:43:53.19\00:43:55.03 Do we use 00:43:55.03\00:43:57.30 the 10 commandment law of love 00:43:57.30\00:44:01.67 in the wrong way 00:44:01.67\00:44:03.57 rather than seeing God's 10 Commandments as his moral code 00:44:03.57\00:44:09.14 of love 00:44:09.14\00:44:10.85 for relationship the building. 00:44:10.85\00:44:15.82 And that's what they are. It's a relationship building. 00:44:15.82\00:44:19.55 The first 4 are actually their boundaries around his right. 00:44:19.55\00:44:25.23 His are created. But it's what he expects from us when we're 00:44:25.23\00:44:29.60 in covenant relationship with him. 00:44:29.60\00:44:32.17 And the last 6 are for humans. You know, when God says 00:44:32.17\00:44:39.57 we've we've got this all wrong. And I think it's because we've 00:44:39.57\00:44:44.01 all watched Charlton Heston 00:44:44.01\00:44:46.61 in the 10 Commandments. 00:44:46.61\00:44:49.15 And so people think that God came down and said 00:44:49.15\00:44:54.09 show 00:44:54.09\00:44:56.69 more any gods before me. That's not the way God did it. 00:44:56.69\00:45:03.26 The 10 Commandments in the Greek. Well, in Hebrew, it's 00:45:03.26\00:45:07.20 tense. 10 words in the Greek. It's tense aims and the 10 00:45:07.20\00:45:12.64 Commandments were written 00:45:12.64\00:45:16.58 in an in parity for and that's why our our English translators 00:45:16.58\00:45:20.68 are the ones that are calling the 10 Commandments. But it was 00:45:20.68\00:45:23.65 just 10 teachings of God of what it was like to live in 00:45:23.65\00:45:27.62 relationship with him. Basically what God was saying 00:45:27.62\00:45:31.73 is when you're in covenant relationship with me, you know, 00:45:31.73\00:45:35.16 could have any gods before me. You're not going to make him 00:45:35.16\00:45:39.40 eat just back down to that. You are not going to take my 00:45:39.40\00:45:43.97 name and they can. 00:45:43.97\00:45:45.11 >> Oh, you're going to be so excited to spend the Sabbath. 00:45:45.11\00:45:48.81 >> With me 00:45:48.81\00:45:51.01 and you know what? You will honor your mother and father. 00:45:51.01\00:45:56.15 You will not. 00:45:56.15\00:45:57.95 >> Murder. You will not commit adultery. You a lot still. 00:45:57.95\00:46:01.66 You're not going to be a false testimony. You're not going to 00:46:01.66\00:46:04.69 come in you, 00:46:04.69\00:46:07.03 but. 00:46:07.03\00:46:08.16 >> Because that's what living in cup and that relationship 00:46:08.16\00:46:11.10 with me is all about. 00:46:11.10\00:46:15.00 It occurred to me. 00:46:15.00\00:46:19.01 Sometimes we 00:46:19.01\00:46:21.78 canned 00:46:21.78\00:46:24.35 emphasize strict adherence to the 10 Commandments 00:46:24.35\00:46:29.15 without any concern for developing the fruited spirit. 00:46:29.15\00:46:33.62 That's legal 00:46:33.62\00:46:36.26 lead the list. Think more about sharing rules, 00:46:36.26\00:46:40.96 then sharing Christ. 00:46:40.96\00:46:45.17 Think about that. 00:46:45.17\00:46:47.64 Make a list. Think more about sharing rules, ensuring Christ 00:46:47.64\00:46:51.84 and they usually are intolerant of those who disagree. And 00:46:51.84\00:46:56.41 Mike, good to see that my time. So here's what we want to say. 00:46:56.41\00:47:01.52 And I've got to add this. They do scenes are legal list. 00:47:01.52\00:47:09.19 Why they? The sands thought they were rich and in need of 00:47:09.19\00:47:13.40 nothing. They are counting on self-righteousness instead of 00:47:13.40\00:47:19.07 the righteousness of Christ. What is wrong with legal? 00:47:19.07\00:47:23.17 Listen. Trying to secure righteousness by faith opposes 00:47:23.17\00:47:28.11 salvation by grace. That is God's plan. 00:47:28.11\00:47:31.58 Self-righteousness is no righteousness in the eyes of 00:47:31.58\00:47:36.85 the Lord. 00:47:36.85\00:47:38.59 If you turn real quickly cause, we're going to have to go 00:47:38.59\00:47:41.22 quick. 00:47:41.22\00:47:42.66 Matthew. 23, I want to show you what she's thought of. Lee can 00:47:42.66\00:47:48.60 listen 00:47:48.60\00:47:49.80 Laika let's may up here right to send spiritual. But Legalism 00:47:49.80\00:47:55.24 fails to accomplish God's purpose because it's in our 00:47:55.24\00:47:58.84 performance instead of an inward change. Matthew? 23, 00:47:58.84\00:48:05.08 27 here is Jesus stinging indictment of the lead to us. 00:48:05.08\00:48:09.58 Woe to you, scribes and pharisees hypocrites here like 00:48:09.58\00:48:13.36 whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful, outwardly. 00:48:13.36\00:48:18.59 But inside, you are full of debt, Vince Bones and all 00:48:18.59\00:48:22.56 uncleanness even so you also 00:48:22.56\00:48:26.57 here, outwardly right, just to you. 00:48:26.57\00:48:29.94 But inside, you're full up pop, Percy and lawlessness. Look at 00:48:29.94\00:48:34.74 first 15, Matthew. 23, 50 was you scribes and pharisees. 00:48:34.74\00:48:40.08 You hypocrite. You. Travel landed seed when one proselyte 00:48:40.08\00:48:44.35 and when he is one you making 00:48:44.35\00:48:46.42 twice as much the son of hail 00:48:46.42\00:48:50.06 as yourself. 00:48:50.06\00:48:52.43 That's the legal list, destiny. They're headed toward Hill 00:48:52.43\00:48:57.03 Matthew. 23, 23 00:48:57.03\00:49:00.04 Wally, you scribes in various cities 00:49:00.04\00:49:03.04 hypocrites. He pay tithe of men in Addison. Couldn't you have 00:49:03.04\00:49:08.18 neglected the weightier matters of the law, 00:49:08.18\00:49:11.58 justice and mercy and Fay. These you ought to have done. 00:49:11.58\00:49:17.25 He's affirming tithing without leaving the mothers 00:49:17.25\00:49:21.49 and that he says Blind guides used to write it in that and 00:49:21.49\00:49:26.76 swallow Campbell. 00:49:26.76\00:49:28.36 That now was the smallest of unclean animals. 00:49:28.36\00:49:33.87 And the camel was the largest of unclean animals, 00:49:33.87\00:49:39.14 but the lid can list. 00:49:39.14\00:49:41.28 So it tick you loosely concerned with ceremonial 00:49:41.28\00:49:46.58 purity 00:49:46.58\00:49:48.02 that they would strain their drinks through a cough 00:49:48.02\00:49:52.89 so that they would inadvertently swallow. 00:49:52.89\00:49:56.96 And now 00:49:56.96\00:49:58.79 in Jesus is saying 00:49:58.79\00:50:00.93 in your heart 00:50:00.93\00:50:03.37 is a camel 00:50:03.37\00:50:05.33 of corruption. 00:50:05.33\00:50:07.30 So he goes home and hid. Here's the worst one. Matthew. 00:50:07.30\00:50:12.31 23, 33 00:50:12.31\00:50:15.48 serpents rooted vipers. 00:50:15.48\00:50:19.18 How can you escape 00:50:19.18\00:50:22.02 the condemnation of h***? 00:50:22.02\00:50:25.52 Where is the legal is headed? 00:50:25.52\00:50:30.59 Boy, that's a wake-up call. Is it not? They are outside the 00:50:30.59\00:50:34.10 will of God. They're not trusting God for salvation. 00:50:34.10\00:50:39.03 They are headed for half. 00:50:39.03\00:50:44.61 What is the root of legal? Listen, let me ask you this 00:50:44.61\00:50:48.68 question. 00:50:48.68\00:50:50.55 Do you stand 00:50:50.55\00:50:52.71 in all of God? 00:50:52.71\00:50:56.38 I mean, 00:50:56.38\00:50:57.75 really 00:50:57.75\00:50:59.69 are you amazed at what God has done to safety? 00:50:59.69\00:51:05.69 If you all understand if you don't understand God's plan of 00:51:05.69\00:51:10.33 righteousness pipes, you will be a legal list. 00:51:10.33\00:51:14.84 And there was a day that I would have stood up here and 00:51:14.84\00:51:17.34 say illegal is the route is pride. 00:51:17.34\00:51:20.74 I would say the route is not understanding 00:51:20.74\00:51:24.78 God's plan of salvation 00:51:24.78\00:51:27.88 righteousness by faith. 00:51:27.88\00:51:31.62 Did you know the Bible tells us that before said never entered 00:51:31.62\00:51:35.56 the world. 00:51:35.56\00:51:37.19 God had this plan of righteousness by fate. 00:51:37.19\00:51:41.50 Revelation 13, a lamb who was slain from the foundation of 00:51:41.50\00:51:46.33 the world to see 00:51:46.33\00:51:48.67 God, father, son and spirit 00:51:48.67\00:51:52.14 made a covenant that in heaven 00:51:52.14\00:51:56.04 when Adam and Eve sand 00:51:56.04\00:51:58.31 it wasn't their destiny to seeing 00:51:58.31\00:52:01.28 but it is for knowledge. God knew what was going to 00:52:01.28\00:52:04.35 happen. He had this plan. 00:52:04.35\00:52:07.42 He knew the wages of San is death, 00:52:07.42\00:52:12.79 but he was going to give us 00:52:12.79\00:52:15.06 the gift of life through Christ Jesus eternal life. 00:52:15.06\00:52:20.04 So what happened it 00:52:20.04\00:52:22.67 once they got together and they beside one of them is going to 00:52:22.67\00:52:27.61 come to Earth 00:52:27.61\00:52:29.64 to say this. 00:52:29.64\00:52:32.01 Our creator guy in the beginning was the word the word 00:52:32.01\00:52:35.15 was with God, the workplace Scott and he created all things 00:52:35.15\00:52:39.55 and the word became flesh and dwelt among us. 00:52:39.55\00:52:42.56 >> The fee shunts to 6 through 8 says that. 00:52:42.56\00:52:46.66 >> He was God. He was in the form of God. He didn't think it 00:52:46.66\00:52:51.00 robbery to hold Ong to that because he was caught yet. 00:52:51.00\00:52:57.51 He humbled himself. 00:52:57.51\00:53:01.11 He humbled himself. Did you know that scholars 00:53:01.11\00:53:06.01 don't call it 00:53:06.01\00:53:07.68 the humbling of Christ, but the humiliation 00:53:07.68\00:53:11.89 and really his name wasn't Jesus Christ in heaven. 00:53:11.89\00:53:16.66 He is the second person of the Godhead second, not in a store. 00:53:16.66\00:53:20.80 It second not in rank second in 4 revelation, we call a second. 00:53:20.80\00:53:27.94 It was our creator God who came to Earth 00:53:27.94\00:53:34.01 who hobbled himself, not just to the lower level of angels, 00:53:34.01\00:53:37.75 which right now are above us, 00:53:37.75\00:53:40.08 but he humbled himself 00:53:40.08\00:53:42.18 to become human 00:53:42.18\00:53:44.05 to become like us in every way to suffer the temptation. 00:53:44.05\00:53:50.36 I for us. 00:53:50.36\00:53:54.36 >> That he 00:53:54.36\00:53:56.93 >> might become sin for us. Not that he was simple, but 00:53:56.93\00:53:59.77 second, Corinthians 5.21, 00:53:59.77\00:54:03.24 so that we might become the righteousness of God in him. 00:54:03.24\00:54:07.48 So in the last 3 minutes, I don't know where I got off, 00:54:07.48\00:54:11.61 but I'd sure not getting through this sermon. Let's look 00:54:11.61\00:54:15.85 at 00:54:15.85\00:54:17.62 how we overcome legalism 00:54:17.62\00:54:20.82 to overcome legal miss him. 00:54:20.82\00:54:25.36 I know it's in here somewhere. See how much I'm having to 00:54:25.36\00:54:27.86 skip. 00:54:27.86\00:54:29.23 >> Turn to Matthew Chapter a pain. 00:54:29.23\00:54:33.37 >> To overcome legal is and we've got to understand God's 00:54:33.37\00:54:36.60 plan of salvation. 00:54:36.60\00:54:38.87 We've got to understand. We've lost Humana team lost 00:54:38.87\00:54:43.18 their spiritual Virginia, D there's nothing that we could 00:54:43.18\00:54:46.18 do nothing 00:54:46.18\00:54:48.55 to save ourselves. We have to soon render to yield to God. 00:54:48.55\00:54:53.36 And Jesus says in Matthew 18 assuredly I say to you unless 00:54:53.36\00:54:58.66 you are converted and become like will children, 00:54:58.66\00:55:03.60 you will by no means enter the Kingdom of heaven. How clear is 00:55:03.60\00:55:08.94 that? 00:55:08.94\00:55:10.21 What is the condition to enter into the kingdom of heaven? 00:55:10.21\00:55:14.78 Unless you are kind verdict, that means to turn to God 00:55:14.78\00:55:19.01 return to got 00:55:19.01\00:55:20.58 and be calm like little children. 00:55:20.58\00:55:23.55 You will by no means enter the Kingdom of heaven. Therefore, 00:55:23.55\00:55:28.76 whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in 00:55:28.76\00:55:32.89 the Kingdom of heaven. What he say, God's plan of salvation 00:55:32.89\00:55:38.57 has always been trust me from Genesis forward. It has always 00:55:38.57\00:55:45.01 been total dependence upon him. If we don't depend on our 00:55:45.01\00:55:50.78 heavenly Father, Jesus is we're not going to enter the Kingdom 00:55:50.78\00:55:55.42 of heaven. 00:55:55.42\00:55:56.62 He's explaining that conversion happens as we humble ourselves 00:55:56.62\00:56:01.32 like a little child who recognizes their great need of 00:56:01.32\00:56:05.69 a loving parent, knowing that we're helpless to save 00:56:05.69\00:56:08.90 ourselves. We have no spiritual resources of our own. 00:56:08.90\00:56:13.87 So we just acknowledge our vulnerability and run into the 00:56:13.87\00:56:18.17 safety of his loving embrace 00:56:18.17\00:56:22.11 and living covenant relationship with him requires 00:56:22.11\00:56:26.85 how why trust 00:56:26.85\00:56:29.55 enhanced presence? And in his pro edition, it's a life of 00:56:29.55\00:56:35.52 dependence and grace. But we got 00:56:35.52\00:56:40.53 let our hearts be open in teachable to learn his lessons 00:56:40.53\00:56:45.53 of righteousness by fate. 00:56:45.53\00:56:50.51 It's hard for us to be dependent, 00:56:50.51\00:56:53.91 isn't it? 00:56:53.91\00:56:55.91 We've learned to be independent 00:56:55.91\00:56:59.01 our coach or 00:56:59.01\00:57:01.75 makes us prideful 00:57:01.75\00:57:04.42 to be independent. 00:57:04.42\00:57:06.59 But God's plan of salvation 00:57:06.59\00:57:09.22 is that you 00:57:09.22\00:57:11.06 depend totally upon him 00:57:11.06\00:57:13.46 for the gift of righteousness. He will work in you, too, 00:57:13.46\00:57:17.70 willing to do his good pleasure. He will complete the 00:57:17.70\00:57:21.10 good work. 00:57:21.10\00:57:23.00 He has begun in knots. 00:57:23.00\00:57:25.07 >> When our time so gaunt, 00:57:25.07\00:57:27.61 we love you and we pray 00:57:27.61\00:57:30.55 what you will reign in life to price ranges. 00:57:30.55\00:57:34.62 [MUSIC] 00:57:34.62\00:57:39.62 [MUSIC] 00:57:39.62\00:57:44.63 [MUSIC] 00:57:44.63\00:57:49.60 [MUSIC] 00:57:49.60\00:57:54.60 [MUSIC] 00:57:54.60\00:58:09.68
