we are
going to dive into a difficult complex but over time you'll see how simple
of a topic uh... we're going to bring to get into today really is
but we are going to taka bout a series that's entitled
the great
church audit
on it
bomb and uh... and
so my question right off the bat when was the last time
that the church actually had an audit maybe five hundred years ago with martin
luther
well now's the time i'd believe in these last days that god is calling his people
to audit exactly what
they believe why they believe
1:31
and ultimately
1:32
what we believe is going to determine
1:34
how we live our life
1:35
so without further ado i'm going to ask you a couple of request before we get
1:40
started
1:41
but this is actually a three dvd or three part series in this dvd series
1:46
of the first one is called what is sin
1:48
and we're gonna talk about that today
1:50
that'll be the first part of the series the second one is what is the new
1:53
covenant
1:54
and the third one is the difficult sayings of paul
1:57
as we walk through today's topic of what is sin
2:01
uh... it sounds like a simple question
2:05
but as we begin to dive into the scriptures and let the scriptures define
2:08
the scriptures what we're going to find out
2:10
is that man's fingerprints once again
2:13
has made itself into the little crevices of our theology
2:17
and that needs to be tweaked just a little bit
2:19
and in that tweaking i mean i i'm going to ask you to keep an open mind
2:24
because as we let the bible actually define itself
2:27
as some of the conclusions that we come to mind actually rub against what you
2:32
currently believe or your currency theology
2:34
so don't get too far ahead
2:36
as we work through the scriptures and and try to draw conclusions
2:40
this is just the first part
2:42
in a series of the first part of this journey
2:45
so what we're going to try to answer the ultimate question is
2:48
is is the law of god or is the commandments of god or is the covenant
2:53
of god
2:54
that was given on mount sinai feels that done away with has it been abolished
2:58
have we commited
3:01
indirectly high treason against a king
3:03
and not even known it
3:05
so now for the new let's get started
3:07
and uh... will begin to work through the scriptures
3:11
the first question is are we in violation
3:13
of the king's law?
3:16
like i said before we're going to deal with what is sin
3:19
what is the new covenant
3:21
and ultimately the difficult sayings of Paul i think many of you will admit
3:25
with me that much of what paul says is kind of hard to understand
3:30
i'm going to submit to you that in that series when we get there
3:33
you're going to find out that the reason why
3:35
a lot of what Paul has to say is difficult to understand
3:38
is because we're looking at it from the wrong perspective
3:42
we're looking at it from our perspective
3:44
and not from his
3:49
the power of a definition
3:51
how many you know that how
3:53
one defines sin
3:55
is directly related to how you will live your life
3:58
how do you live your life is directly related to what you believe
4:02
whatever you believe is sin
4:04
you will naturally condemn so if you believe that
4:08
Homo sexuality is wrong then you're going to condemn that if you believe
4:11
that abortion is wrong
4:12
then you are going to condemn that
4:14
you will not condemn something if you don't believe it's wrong
4:18
so i would submit to you that what you actually believe
4:22
is incredibly important because you're already doing
4:26
what you believe in
4:29
what you believe if you believe something is not sin
4:32
you will naturally support it
4:34
so what we're going to try to do an answering this question of what's in his
4:37
is that we want to make sure that we stand before god at the end of time
4:41
that our definition of sin is exactly
4:44
what his definition of sin is
4:49
before we actually let the scriptures tell us what sin is let's walk through the
4:53
internet for a moment most of us would use the internet for a lot of different
4:55
things but let's
4:57
let's find out exactly
4:59
what
4:59
our culture says
5:01
sin is if you were to do a cursory research
5:04
a google search if you will
5:06
on sin
5:06
some of the web definitions i found work estrange ment from god
5:11
an act that is regarded by theologians as a transgression of god's will
5:16
wikipedia says
5:17
send as a term used mainly in a religious context to describe an act
5:21
that violates a moral rule
5:23
or the state of having committed such a violation
5:26
commonly the moral code of conduct is decreed
5:29
by divine entity
5:30
i want to mention their wikipedia says
5:33
commonly
5:34
that is defined by divine entity
5:36
that means that every once in awhile
5:39
a none divine identity
5:41
can actually
5:42
begin to define what that sin is
5:45
what we want to do again as we want to make sure
5:47
that what our definition of sin is is exactly what his definitions and of why
5:51
is that so important
5:52
i'll tell you what how critical this is
5:56
is because
5:57
we do not want to be offending god
5:59
and not know what
6:02
we don't want to be like the is realized that find themselves at the base of
6:05
mount sinai
6:06
remember when the at the base of mount sinai moses goes up on the mounties
6:09
there for forty days and forty knots okay
6:12
and he never comes back so they think and so what if they decide to do
6:16
now they come from a culture
6:18
that is that has gobs and gobs as-is for everything
6:21
and they create idols
6:23
as mediators between the gods and amp
6:27
and so moses became their mediator between them in ya way
6:31
welwyn moses took off and then come back they needed a new mediator
6:36
and so
6:38
contrary to what a lot of us have been taught about the golden calf they were
6:41
not worshipping another god
6:43
from their perspective
6:46
there's a disagreement in the scriptures and we'll bring that out just a moment
6:49
of all this for a point
6:50
of how critical it is to make sure that we define sen
6:53
from the perspective of god ya way
6:57
it says in the text
6:59
aaron says tomorrow we're going to have a feast
7:02
to yell away
7:03
you see from their perspective all they did was replaced lenses
7:07
and they had come from the traditions and doctrines of men in egypt and so
7:10
they took upon themselves the background and their culture and they created a
7:16
system
7:16
a new mediator or new sacrificial system if you will
7:20
to bring before their new golf
7:23
now the problem is is that from their perspective everything was fine in
7:27
hunky-dory everything was going to the right direction
7:30
but from god's perspective what did he always speak to moses when he was on the
7:34
mountain he said wait a minute all your son or is
7:36
moses you need to go back down the mountain because the people are serving
7:41
other gods
7:42
there were subpoenaed other dot
7:44
now you see that's where we get it in the text of where we all grew up in our
7:47
bible stories are
7:48
sunday school that that the people were worshiping
7:51
other gods and that's why i got got so upset
7:53
but that is not the case my friends
7:55
it was from he always perspective that they were worshiping another god from
7:59
the israel lights perspective they were not
8:04
god had defined sin
8:07
one-way
8:08
the people defined it another way that's the critical this because three thousand
8:13
people died on that day
8:15
and so why we're going through this and it might seem a silly question to ask
8:19
ask them what what is send doesn't everybody know what's in it as well
8:24
noble over
8:24
we don't all know what standards are everyone would not be doing the same
8:27
thing everyone's doing what's right and their own eyes
8:30
and i'm listening to you is because
8:32
that we have
8:33
far moved away from
8:35
the biblical definitions
8:40
webster's dictionary webster's dictionary says and offense against
8:44
religious for moral law
8:45
an action that is felt to be highly reprehensible
8:49
and often serious shortcomings
8:52
transgression of the law of god
8:55
officiated state of human nature in which the self isn't strange from god
9:01
what's let's work through afew scriptures here in the new testament
9:05
some very popular scriptures on said number one romans six one
9:08
what shall we say that shall we continuance in
9:11
that grace may abound
9:14
romans three twenty three virtually everyone has heard of this verse
9:17
for all of us and in fall short
9:19
of the glory of god
9:21
well how we define sin is going to be directly proportionate to what we get
9:25
out of this person
9:26
romans three six twenty three says for the wages of sin of the penalty of sin
9:30
is death
9:31
but the free gift of god's eternal life
9:33
now we have talked about these verses our whole life and in sharing the gospel
9:37
with people
9:38
but i'm going to ask the question
9:40
what this scene
9:42
actually me
9:44
when paul wrote the scriptures and realms three in romans six
9:47
what was in his mind what did he mean when he said
9:50
the wages of sin
9:52
is death
9:53
and all had seen
9:57
how we define sin
9:58
is going to be exactly what we pull out of the versed in what we plot of that
10:02
births
10:02
is ultimately how we're going to live our life
10:06
so we need a teacher's aide
10:08
when you agreed
10:09
if we're going to find any word in any language
10:12
what would be a valuable book to use
10:14
to help define that word
10:17
so i hope you set a dictionary because that's exactly what we need is a
10:21
dictionary
10:22
now here's the real question
10:24
she where users underpinned bible dictionary
10:27
banker bible dictionary or the harper's bible dictionary
10:30
there's lots of dictionaries out there that we can use
10:33
we need to find out exactly which dictionary
10:36
that we should use
10:37
should you pull it off your shelf
10:39
that's our first inclination is in it
10:41
should we call our pastor shively
10:43
she we do this you would do that so we do a google search on what sentence
10:47
i'm going to submit to you with all throughout this teaching
10:50
that there is only one single document
10:53
that you really need to understand the scriptures and that is the scriptures
10:58
there's a reason why they're sixty six of them
11:01
there's a reason why there's
11:02
there's thousands and thousands upon thousands of verses in the scriptures
11:06
why he emphasizes over and over again the same topic because he wants to give
11:10
us context to help us understand
11:12
that we don't have to go anywhere else
11:14
all we need to do is let the scriptures through the spirit
11:17
show us
11:19
what it says and will get the exact definition watch this
11:23
if rocket use any of those dept those
11:26
dictionaries them what should we use well
11:28
what if i told you that archaeologists have found a first-century bible
11:32
dictionary
11:33
that totally completely from eight is the
11:36
details every single biblical were definition found in the bible
11:41
would you believe me
11:43
do you know what they call it
11:44
they actually did finance
11:47
it's called
11:49
or the old testament
11:52
that is the bible dictionary
11:54
that we need to use so if we want to know how the new testament writers
11:58
defined the words that they wrote
12:00
then we have to use
12:01
the only book of reference and dictionary that they have
12:05
at the time
12:08
remember
12:09
in the new testament
12:10
their is no new testament
12:12
and no christianity when the hebrew scriptures were written when they were
12:16
pinned
12:17
what we we later called scripture or the new testament there was no new testament
12:22
and there was no church
12:23
so in the new testament
12:25
we are in our in our bible studies and as we begin to walk through the
12:28
scriptures and try to understand them
12:30
it is a critical permanent of coal rule
12:33
of interpreting scriptures that we understand this one a rule
12:36
that we cannot use the new testament
12:39
to interpret the new testament
12:41
because it didn't exist
12:42
paul when he was reading writing romans
12:45
did not quote from timothy as scripture
12:49
when he was writing the book of romans he quoted from a one source
12:52
into one source only
12:54
and that's the only dictionary that he had available to him
12:57
which was the old testament
12:59
so it would behoove us as believers
13:01
that if we're going to understand doctor to prevent understand theology if we
13:04
want to learn how live our lives
13:07
we need to use the same dictionary
13:09
the disciples use of the apostles used winding road the scriptures we do great
13:15
so let's go back to the beginning because the beginning
13:18
is where we're gonna find our answers
13:20
daniel nine eleven says this yes
13:23
all israel
13:24
has transgressed
13:26
your lol
13:26
and has departed
13:29
so as not to obey your voice therefore
13:31
the curse tomatoes written in the law of moses the servant of god
13:35
has been port out upon us
13:37
because we have seen
13:39
against him
13:42
see what we're doing here guys is we're letting the old testament describe
13:46
what's in it so we're going to go back to the bible dictionary
13:49
and we're gonna find out exactly what
13:50
the old testament says
13:52
what their dictionary sets up the trumpet to your mouth
13:54
he shall come like an angel against the house of the lord
13:57
because they had transgressed my cabinet
14:00
and rebelled
14:01
against my wall
14:06
so what do the old testament definition of sin
14:09
two very simple
14:10
it is the breaking
14:12
of gods
14:14
that's the definition
14:15
that they had from the very beginning
14:17
of time
14:18
when the new testament riders were pending their would later be called the
14:21
new testament scriptures
14:23
their definition the framework of their might remember all of these new
14:27
testament riders are jewish
14:29
but all come from he break a mindset
14:31
so we would do well that if we're going to understand the same scriptures that
14:34
they were out
14:36
that we would have that same he break mindset as well
14:40
so won't as we work through these scriptures remember what we're doing is
14:43
we're taking the glasses
14:46
of the western greco roman society
14:48
and twenty-first century theology emerg just go to put them aside for a moment
14:53
input on the glasses that paul and timothy
14:55
in general and in luke in all of them have
14:58
and those glasses
15:00
or he break
15:03
if you were to go to the first century
15:05
and ask you a little jewish boy
15:07
watsonwyatt
15:09
he would tell you
15:10
is the breaking of god's law
15:14
so now that we know exactly what the old testament has to say about what watson
15:18
is let's move to the new testament see if we see any different
15:23
interpretation
15:25
romans three twenty says this therefore by the deeds of the lol
15:29
no flesh
15:30
will be justified
15:32
for by the law
15:33
is the knowledge of sent
15:35
soul right here
15:36
what we have is we have a new testament scripture that is detail info russ
15:40
exactly watson isn't what it does
15:43
it brings
15:44
to us the knowledge
15:45
that we've broken god's commandments
15:47
if we it right here poll says in romans three twenty that the law
15:51
tells you when your in sent
15:54
the law brings the knowledge of said
15:56
let's reverse that a lot of times if you want to stay in scripture we can reverse
15:59
it animal it'll it'll extrapolate for you a little deeper maybe
16:03
that means that without the law
16:05
there is no knowledge of sent
16:08
right here we have a problem
16:09
in our christian thinking because are christian thinking or most of our
16:13
theology that we've been brought up was says that the law of god
16:16
has been done away with
16:18
that the old covenant
16:19
is old you c_n_n_ our definition of old
16:23
law means that uh... uh... the new is better
16:26
out with the old and with the new right
16:28
the only uh... people that see value in something that's older people that uh...
16:33
if you don't collect artifact
16:34
or if your garage sailor if you have hugo garage sale in the new definitely
16:38
see the valued something that's all
16:40
and that's what we want to do right here in the scriptures we want to bring
16:43
valley would put the old testament
16:45
and the new testament together
16:47
and make sure that the definitions that are given our exactly with the disciples
16:52
had in mind
16:53
and their definition
16:54
of sin
16:56
you can all be found
16:58
in the wall
17:00
robin seven eight says but sin
17:02
taking opportunity by the commitment produced in me all manner upheaval
17:06
desire
17:07
for apart from the law sin
17:10
was dead
17:11
taken over for a second and justin died right about that
17:14
is it what what he said as you take away the law of god
17:17
you have no ability to know what's in its
17:20
sin is dead
17:22
because it has no opportunity to condemn you
17:24
if you remove
17:26
the law
17:27
you remove the power of the law over you to condemn you now
17:32
at cursory
17:33
i thought you might have what's a good thing we don't want the law to curse s
17:37
well my friends if we don't have a curves
17:39
we don't need to save
17:41
that's a critical
17:42
this issue is
17:45
first corinthians fifteen fifty six says this
17:48
the sting of death is sin and the strength of sin
17:52
is the lol
17:53
what does that mean
17:54
very simply that's in the has no definition
17:58
outside of the law the strength of sand is the law itself
18:02
you remove the law
18:04
there is no sense in has no power
18:06
because sins power over man
18:09
is because the law defines exactly what it is
18:14
james two nine
18:15
president avik council of jerusalem says this
18:18
the brother of the issuer but if you show partiality
18:21
you commit send and are convicted by the law
18:25
as transgressions
18:26
now it is a direct quote
18:28
from the biggest nineteen fifty
18:30
he's saying the same exact thing
18:33
that he said
18:33
ed in the new testament and the old testament
18:36
is being said in the new testament
18:40
that's in
18:42
is a transgression of god law
18:44
and on that you're probably the most powerful very clear articulate verse in
18:48
the new testament that is undisputed
18:51
heavyweight champion of the new testament so to speak
18:53
their lines up directly with the old testament first john chapter three burst
18:57
forth says who would who so ever
18:59
commits sin
19:01
transgress is also the law
19:03
foreseen
19:04
is the transgression of god's law
19:08
now can we have any anymore an
19:12
clear definition of exactly what sentence
19:14
it's the transit it is the breaking of god's law
19:17
sin is the breaking of god's law
19:19
so with this in mind
19:20
this is going to be a little fun course it would be very intriguing where you go
19:24
back through some of our favorite verses in the new testament
19:28
and we're going to take off our greco roman christian mindset of exactly what
19:32
senators and we're going to read
19:34
the verses as if
19:37
sin is actually breaking
19:38
of the commands
19:42
romans chapter six verse one says this
19:45
what shall we say that member we just read this virtual earlier
19:48
shall we continue in breaking the law
19:52
that grace may amount
19:53
now many of us have been told
19:55
that growing up in a christian circles that we're not under the law anymore
20:00
we're under grapes
20:02
well here's a question
20:03
did paul mean right here in romans chapter six verse one
20:07
that we are no longer have to
20:09
keep god's law you can break god's lol
20:12
because grace will abound
20:14
all right here he details for us that
20:17
we shall not continue breaking the law orson
20:20
so that grace may have been to see the difference
20:23
when you define soon is something
20:26
ambiguous you know philosophy
20:30
philosophical thought of you know breaking
20:33
moral code or
20:34
breaking society's code of conduct
20:36
uh... are such a thing
20:38
what you do is you remove the power in the very clear interpretation of the
20:41
scriptures they just ever so slightly moved to the left
20:45
you get the two thousand years of history
20:48
and the entire scriptures become liberal they become very left they move strongly
20:52
to the left because they slowly have been turned to the left over time
20:56
if you go back and read
20:58
define the scriptures the way the authors actually defined it which is by
21:01
the dictionary that they had
21:03
what you find
21:05
we shall not continue breaking the law
21:07
and my friends the only lol the new testament was the law of god
21:10
in the old testament
21:13
roman six fifteen says
21:15
what shallot what men shall we say
21:18
break the law
21:19
because we are not under the penalty of the law but under grace certainly not
21:23
probably one of the most
21:25
miss understood scriptures
21:27
up of the day is right here and romans chapter six this has become shall we
21:31
continue to send because we're not under law were under grace
21:34
we had to find that my friends
21:37
as lawlessness
21:38
that we are not under the jurisdiction of lonely longer we do not have to keep
21:43
god's commandments there are no instructions for life outside of what we
21:45
find in the new testament
21:47
we're under grace as if the grace the definition of grace
21:51
is liberty to say that
21:53
may never be
21:55
uh... romans success rumah six one says we shall not continued to break the law
22:00
just because were under grace matter fact he says
22:02
the question is what then shall we break the law because we're not
22:06
under its penalty anymore
22:08
no we are under grace that's what he's saying
22:11
you see law only came to do three things in your to find out what that is just a
22:15
moment
22:16
but before we do
22:18
let's move to room six twenty three says for the wages of sin
22:22
the wages of breaking god's law
22:24
is death
22:26
but the free gift of god is eternal life
22:28
in christ jesus our lord
22:31
you see how it changes the connotation alarming university just ever so
22:35
slightly
22:36
is when you actually define it
22:38
as breaking god's law which is what the definition is first john three four
22:42
and what we have his
22:43
the wages are breaking the commandments
22:46
is death
22:47
have you ever wondered why
22:50
where condemned to death anyway why we even needed to savior
22:53
you know we go around and we and we are evangelism we tell people about the
22:56
messiah and we say you need to know jesus will that's great and we and they
23:00
said well why do i need to know jesus
23:03
at our first our first equations there because you're sad
23:06
you've said
23:08
well here's the question when we actually tell them that the reason why
23:11
don't you savior's because they say and do we really understand
23:15
what we're saying is the reason why you need a savior is because you broke
23:21
the commandments of god
23:23
and the law
23:25
says
23:26
that you
23:29
so unless you want to die
23:31
you need a savior
23:32
to save you
23:35
that is due to you for breaking
23:38
the law
23:39
that was given
23:40
so long ago
23:44
so the breakdown this is how it works
23:46
the law was given to the entire world through his people is a real
23:50
that were to be a light to the nation's remember
23:52
is a real was was a people that were called out by god
23:57
they were called out my god and veered job was to be a light to the nation's
24:02
does that sound let
24:04
familiar at all
24:06
does that sound familiar in the new testament when jesus says that
24:09
that he is a light to the nation's
24:11
but when he says that
24:13
you our delight to the world
24:15
that sitting on the hill cannot be hit
24:17
do you think might any chance
24:19
that these young jewish boys that grew up alarming the commandments
24:22
they knew that israel was a chosen people they knew that they were chosen
24:26
to be a light to the nation's
24:28
he wasn't telling them anything new
24:29
he was bringing to bear remembrance
24:32
they're very
24:33
god
24:35
purpose in life
24:36
which is to take the instructions that he gave adam
24:40
that he gave to noah
24:41
but he passed on down to abraham
24:44
and they finally gave it to moses eroded stone so that we would forgive it
24:49
that he'd finally came in person and said this is how i want you to keep it
24:53
i want you to take
24:55
mine ball my commandments
24:57
and take the gusto lessons that now anybody can come into my kingdom of the
25:01
part of my people is worth
25:04
through the spirited through the faith in the trust a michael imi the son of
25:07
god
25:08
that is the gospel
25:10
that is being a light to the nation's he was simply
25:13
continuing the very message that he gave their forefathers
25:16
when they dropped the ball
25:20
secondly the law of god was never intended
25:24
just for israel
25:25
the entire world
25:27
is under its jurisdiction let's just look at what paul says in romans chapter
25:30
three
25:31
verse nineteen says now we know that whatever the law says
25:35
it says to those who are
25:37
under the law
25:39
there's that term again that miss understood sir
25:41
so that every mouth maybe chirac
25:44
and all the world may be guilty
25:47
before god
25:49
you see paul is telling us right here
25:52
that the entire world is subject to the law
25:57
the entire world is subject to the law
25:59
it's not just israel it's not just the jewish people it's the entire
26:04
everyone is falls and anita jurisdiction
26:11
everyone has broken his law
26:13
and has fallen short
26:15
of his glory
26:16
romans three twenty three
26:20
the wages of breaking ya ways wall
26:23
is death we know this we just not putting to view together
26:27
but the reason why we die
26:29
is because we broke the commandments
26:33
now here's the question
26:34
why
26:36
do we die
26:38
white is it
26:39
that the breaking of god's law is death why is it that the very thing that that
26:43
that was supposed to be given for a life
26:46
became death to us as paul set
26:48
you see because paul talks about the law
26:52
sometimes in a negative way
26:53
we take it that the entire law of god
26:56
is negative that it's a curse that it's evil know what he's actually doing is
27:00
he's giving us a very good definition of exactly what the law does
27:05
sore next slide we're going to show you is
27:07
what the law actually does it only does
27:10
three things
27:13
number one
27:14
it blesses us
27:16
when we keep it
27:18
did rodney eleven twenty six
27:20
says that i said before you blessings
27:23
and curses
27:25
number two it curses you
27:27
when you break it
27:28
when we break it
27:30
it courses us that's what it's designed to do it and thirdly
27:34
it defines what's in this
27:36
first john three four person
27:39
is the transgression of law
27:41
you're on eleven twenty six as is the whole die set before you this day
27:45
and blessing
27:46
and a curse and my friends that was not just for israel
27:50
that was for all of us
27:52
okay it was for the entire world
27:54
that when you c_n_n_ you break god's law
27:58
you deserve death
28:00
now remember the law as a static document
28:03
the only person that can change it
28:05
is the one that wrote it
28:07
okay we cannot get in there and change and say well we don't like this we don't
28:10
like that
28:11
because that's exactly what our forefathers did that's exactly
28:14
with the israel lights det
28:16
on mount sinai with the written word was was given when the word of god was given
28:21
the spirit was also supposed to be given
28:24
remember
28:25
they decided against that plant
28:27
they want to know this is to go up they wanted to king they didn't want to be
28:31
preset
28:31
of a living dot i have a personal relationship
28:34
you see only half
28:35
on the sanity that only half of the word of god was given
28:38
on mount sinai
28:39
it was the written instructions
28:42
but how many of you realize that if you
28:44
give h aisle
28:46
and eight-year-old a book on math and just say
28:49
here is the the instruction manual
28:51
it's going to be very difficult for him to
28:54
or her to implement that into the life without a teacher without a helper you
28:58
see
28:58
but they didn't want to help for that i want a personal relationship
29:01
they wanted
29:02
to figure it out on their own they wanted someone to rule over them so god
29:05
given exactly what they want
29:08
and twelve hundred years later
29:11
the day a pentecost came the second time
29:14
except this time
29:16
they were ready
29:17
and they wanted it
29:18
and the holy spirit fell upon them on the feast of shall book
29:21
and fulfilled what they should have received
29:24
all the way back on the mount sinai on the day of panic awesome on the first
29:27
time
29:28
so together
29:29
they have both the spirit now
29:32
and the truth
29:33
and they walked in a and that's why there was power
29:36
he seemed the law only does three things it defines what sentence
29:40
it curses us
29:41
and blesses us
29:43
certainly we can possibly say that if you're nice to your spouse or a few
29:47
you're good to your kids
29:48
and you bring them up in a good way that there's not blessings
29:51
where do you think those blessings are coming from
29:54
they're coming from the very thing that we call the messiah you sheila
29:58
jesus
29:59
and we call him the word
30:01
made flash
30:02
well the first century when jones said
30:04
the word became flash
30:07
what was his definition
30:08
of work
30:10
it was the torah
30:12
the instructions for life
30:14
the very thing that was called the way
30:16
the truth
30:17
and the life
30:18
in the old testament was called the sect of the way in the new test that why
30:24
jesus when he
30:25
when he tore open his
30:26
his his robe and who he really was he said i love the way
30:29
the truth and the life
30:31
the reason why the the the the rabbis in the pharisees incentives in the people
30:35
was shock and disbelief and worship shocked
30:39
is because they knew what the way the truth of the life really what's
30:43
it was the torah that they grew up with what this man into the rabbi you sure
30:47
was calling himself
30:49
was the living
30:51
the living instruction manual for life
30:54
dickey after he would die we send the helper
30:57
the teacher's aide to teach us how to live
31:00
civil law allies gelation says is unto
31:04
christ
31:05
absolutely there's no more authority over there is no condemnation
31:09
for those are in christ you can see how it works we look at it
31:12
as the laws here
31:14
the sumi
31:15
yetta laws here
31:16
christ is here
31:17
until means not existing afterwards
31:20
but the whole context is talking about of
31:23
forty
31:24
the law has no authority to condemn
31:26
messiah there's a new sheriff in town
31:28
he's the one
31:29
the decides who stays
31:31
yahoogroups
31:32
if you were in him
31:34
then you're forgiven
31:36
let's move on
31:38
so we broke the law and we all deserve
31:42
we know that glazier three thirteen says crisis redeemed us
31:45
from the curse of the law
31:47
be made a curse for us for his written curses everyone
31:50
that hangs on a tree
31:52
the law itself is not the problem
31:55
it is the curse upon all mankind because of our disobedience
32:01
rahman seven says
32:03
what shall we say that
32:05
is the loss in
32:06
god forbid no i'd had not known cn but by
32:11
the law
32:12
was stopper just a moment
32:14
and just end and go over runs sheppard seven for just a second
32:17
we've all you know we everyone knows the romans seven says the things i don't
32:20
want to do i do two things i do want to do it i don't know if you did it right
32:24
bum what strikingly amazing is on my journey as i begin to look through these
32:28
new pair of glasses
32:30
did he break perspective of the author when you go back and interpret roman
32:34
seven
32:34
what paul is saying
32:36
is that want
32:38
today expertly keep the law of god
32:40
but i can't
32:42
at the end of the chapter it says with a my mind i'm a slave the god's law
32:47
and my heart i'm a slave to send what a wretched man the night
32:50
he wants to keep
32:51
the law of god the very
32:54
percent very
32:55
apostle that we accuse of getting rid of god's law
32:57
is the very person that wants to keep it
33:00
do we see a problem with that
33:02
the problem is is that he's fine himself constantly old war with the flash
33:08
spirit
33:08
and the flash
33:09
he's trying his best to keep it
33:11
buddies forgiven i remember the very
33:13
last of our very first person in romans chapter eight
33:17
should be the last verse roman seven because it says this
33:20
therefore
33:21
there is no condemnation for those who are in christ jesus
33:25
is an incredible thing
33:26
is that we are condemned by the by the law
33:29
we are cursed
33:30
and we should be hung on a tree but the messiah took that chris upon us
33:34
died for us so that we can be free from the curse
33:36
not free from the law
33:39
from the penalty
33:40
that'd gifts
33:43
so here's a couple million dollar questions your number one
33:46
if we are not to keep a law of god
33:49
then why does virtually every author of the scriptures including james jun paul
33:54
in jesus chels to keep the commandments
33:58
remember jesus and matthew
34:00
the the rich young ruler comes to him
34:03
and says i i had a white enter into
34:06
by eternal life
34:07
and jesus says will keep the commandments
34:11
well who are more familiar with the second part of that which says they
34:14
don't sell everything you know he says well i did that
34:17
we forget that jesus actually told him you sure said goin keep the commands
34:22
diddy only mean that for a couple of months
34:25
jilly died
34:26
or was he telling him it eternal principle
34:28
was utilityman eternal principal that would last forever
34:32
you see that rich young really was not going to die
34:34
he was going to live for many years past that
34:37
you sure was giving him
34:39
the principles for life
34:41
he says you've been taught
34:43
that the way the truth of life
34:45
is the commandments themselves
34:47
he says i submit to you that alright
34:50
and the way the truth in the white that if you pair
34:52
the return commandments with the spirit of what i'm telling you who i am
34:58
you will have eternal life
35:00
you see there's a reason why revelation
35:02
in the end days the beast goes after
35:04
those who keep the commandments of god
35:07
and hold to the testimony of your shoe
35:12
or million-dollar question number two
35:15
if the law of god is done away with
35:18
which we've all been told
35:20
and the definition of sin is breaking the law of god
35:23
first john three four then how can there be
35:27
such a thing is that
35:28
how can there be any possibility
35:31
that they're innocent even exist
35:33
if we're not under the law of god
35:35
if there is no law
35:39
and last or at least number three
35:41
how could there possibly be such a thing is judgment day
35:45
if there is no standard of lol
35:47
to judge by
35:49
how can any would be thrown into the lake of fire for breaking the law
35:53
if they were not subject to to begin with
35:57
the logic is a circular reasoning that breaks down and so many places as we
36:02
begin to look at this you'll begin to see that if you have no long you have no
36:06
sense if you have no say in you have no curse
36:12
either wall still exist and content condemns people for breaking it
36:17
and the savior is needed to pay the penalty or it doesn't exist and we don't
36:21
need a savior
36:22
think about what we're saying
36:26
the long run doesn't exist anymore for today's been mailed to the cross it's
36:29
been done away with it's been a buzzword renew cabinet were under grace with
36:32
that's the case my friends then here's what we have to
36:36
we have a situation where there is no law which means there is no definition
36:39
of sin
36:40
which means that they're in the law cannot condemn anyone
36:43
there's no curves
36:44
which means we don't need a savior to take the curse upon us
36:48
and we're all still
36:50
that inner sense
36:51
we don't need a savior
36:52
it how on earth can god how can he always have a judgment day in throw
36:55
people into a hell
36:57
for breaking something that we say doesn't exist
37:01
why should we even go to tell people about jesus christ the messiah tissue
37:07
why should we even tell them that they need a savior
37:09
when our very core of our beliefs says that
37:12
they're not under a curse
37:15
there's no transgression
37:17
because we believe that the law's been done away with
37:20
the only laws that exist
37:22
we say are those found or reiterated in the new testament
37:25
and my friends the logic
37:28
is faulty on several points
37:30
we have no new testament
37:31
when these are written
37:32
so when they give us the gospel of the writers of the new has would give us the
37:35
very gospel that we share with people
37:38
they're telling their people
37:41
that they need to save your because they broke the law of god and we're telling
37:43
people that they need a savior
37:46
because they broke a law on the new testament
37:49
ever so slightly different
37:51
the critical outcome
37:53
critical conclusion
37:55
because how we love our life is directly
37:57
attached
37:58
to how we define
37:59
this very definition
38:04
we know that the law condemns and curses all mankind for breaking it
38:08
usual became the curse for us and paid or penalty
38:12
for breaking the law which is death
38:14
the law was the problem this is what we're saying
38:16
the wall was the problem so he mailed the law to the cross and no one has to
38:21
keep it anymore even though he brew says that
38:24
he found fault
38:27
he did find fault with the law
38:29
remember timothy tells us that the law of god is perfect
38:33
he says it's a perfect and holy and it's worthy for all doctrine for all reprieve
38:38
and correction and a way of righteousness
38:44
so now that there is no law this is what we say
38:47
there can be no course either
38:49
which means there is no longer
38:50
and me for a savior to save us from our sins because there's no such thing as so
38:53
many more
38:54
because sin
38:55
is a transgression
38:57
of god's law
39:00
such as solve this problem we as christians have said
39:03
that the only commandments
39:05
that we need to keep
39:07
are found in the new testament even when the new test that writers told us to
39:10
keep the commandments of god there was no
39:13
new testament
39:14
and you know what
39:15
it's a good thing that were under grace because
39:18
we need it my friends
39:19
we need it
39:21
for we have been deceived by the enemy
39:24
that wasn't just the high priesthood
39:27
and sacrificial system
39:28
that was changed or fulfilled why should say
39:31
but that the whole thing need to be thrown out
39:34
see here's another thought
39:36
if the law of god has been done away with as we've been we've been told we've
39:39
all grown up believing
39:41
and that means the sacrificial system has been done away with let me shock you
39:44
for a moment
39:45
the sacrificial system
39:47
has never
39:48
been done away with
39:50
now you may say don't jim you're really off off the deep end no think about it
39:54
you sure
39:55
jesus became our high priests
39:58
if the sacrificial blueprints have been done away with
40:02
that we don't need pipe reach there can't be a high priest one doesn't exist
40:07
you see the sacrificial system does exist
40:10
messiah is are high priest
40:12
for the very reason that the sacrificial system exist
40:16
blood still is required
40:18
because we broke the law
40:19
the difference is is he became he fulfilled the sacrificial system once
40:24
and for all he became the sacrifice for all sacrifices
40:27
it doesn't mean that the blueprint
40:29
is done away with it means that the animal sacrifice itself has been the
40:33
fulfill
40:34
in the messiah
40:39
here's the amazing fact
40:40
not only has gods
40:42
lol been done away with is the enemy taught us that the law of god and done
40:45
away with
40:46
the enemy has absolutely
40:50
taught us or helped us wallow
40:52
that it was god's idea
40:54
there was actually god's idea to get rid of his own law
40:57
when his law is hot it is is is actually his son
41:01
the son of god is the law of god it's the word made flesh
41:05
certainly
41:05
god wouldn't get rid of his own son
41:09
sin
41:10
is the transgression
41:11
of the law
41:12
without the lol
41:13
there's nothing to transgress
41:15
without a transgression there's no sin
41:18
without sin
41:19
there is no sheet issuer
41:23
so is the law bad
41:24
or is it good
41:26
rahman seven twelve says where for the law is holding
41:29
and the commandment holy
41:30
and just
41:33
why would ya way to get rid of something that is holy
41:39
let me ask you a question does your belief system say
41:42
that the law is wholly
41:44
in good
41:45
or that it's evil
41:46
it's bondage
41:47
it's man-made continues to be done away with
41:52
and more and at the beginning
41:55
let's go back to genesis chapter three verse one recess now the serpent was
41:59
more cutting that any beast of the field which ya weight had make
42:02
and he said to the woman has god indeed said you shall not be at every tree at
42:07
the garden
42:08
and the woman said to the surface
42:09
we make the of the for the trees in the garden
42:12
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of a garden dot of said you
42:15
shall not be that nor show you touch it lest you die
42:18
than the circuit said to the woman
42:20
you will not surely die
42:23
and here's what happened
42:25
here's a detail here's the board prints god gave them a wall
42:29
number two the serpent told them that he didn't really mean it
42:34
god gave us a law
42:37
we teach
42:38
that he really didn't mean it
42:43
or we sure
42:44
we haven't been deceived twice
42:47
my friends
42:48
this is a critical issue
42:51
if we define a sin
42:53
any other way
42:56
them breaking the commandments of god
42:58
if we could find says breaking the commands of god there's not breaking the
43:03
commands of god we're gonna find ourselves in the same situation is in
43:06
the garden with a circus tricking us over in over and over again
43:10
now i understand and i will admit that there are a lot of difficult verses that
43:14
have to go
43:15
that we have to work through and the third part in this series is actually
43:18
the difficult signs up lol
43:20
it's the twenty five sum up verses in the scriptures that seemed to say
43:25
that paul same but the law of god
43:27
is done away with
43:28
but the truth is is that it is you begin to put the key brave glasses
43:32
it all had on
43:33
you'll see
43:34
just like we talked about a romans word says
43:36
the book that we're not under the law
43:38
were under grace
43:39
that now you understand that it doesn't mean that we're not we have to keep it
43:43
it means that
43:44
we're not under the penalty other anymore
43:46
and are so many verses like that like the one ingle ations it says that the
43:51
law was unto christ
43:53
no it means that the laws authority is unto the messiah
43:56
and now has a new sheriff in town the symbol are still exist
44:00
but the father doesn't come home and shifted to order
44:02
the tutors still there
44:04
but he has no authority
44:06
when the fathers in the house
44:07
so that's where we're at today my friends we need to define same exactly
44:11
the way the scriptures tools to define it and no more
44:15
if we work to the left
44:16
if we walked to the life did to the right if we add or take away from this
44:20
word my friends we are curved
44:22
is like ass you today
44:24
to open your mind and work through the next part of the series
44:28
which is what is the new covenant
44:30
because we are to take this whole definition of right into this the the
44:34
series of the definition of what the new cabinet is
44:37
and as we walk out of a exactly what the new companies
44:40
we'll have a belief system
44:41
that the disciples had that we can walk and power will come
44:45
now leave you with this thought
44:46
the father says that he is looking for those who will do one thing
44:50
worships him and spirit
44:53
and in truth
44:54
i submit to the now is the time
44:57
today is the day
44:59
that we get rid of the truth the traditions and the doctrines of man
45:03
that we bobbitt our belief system
45:05
that we audit every doctor we tell every other religious colt that they need to
45:09
audit there's now's the time that we ought to art because we are the bride of
45:13
christ and the groom is coming back and he is ready and waiting he's coming back
45:17
