Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 384.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:08,119 –> 00:00:13,160
\nevening that we gave a handout
\ncalled through Death and I think<\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:13,240 –> 00:00:17,400
\nbrother Peter gave them out.
\nOK, if you haven’t got a copy of<\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:17,400 –> 00:00:20,040
\nthat, I think he may have given
\nthem all out. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:20,040 –> 00:00:23,000
\nI don’t know if there’s any over
\nall right. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:23,000 –> 00:00:28,760
\nSo if you need a copy of that,
\nwhich firstly summarizes the <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:28,760 –> 00:00:32,920
\ndirection of which we’ve been
\naddressing in these series, OK, <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:33,560 –> 00:00:35,920
\nvery condensed.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:40,120
\nAnd if you need a copy of that,
\nI’m sure Brother Peter would <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:40,120 –> 00:00:44,280
\narrange a photocopy for you of
\nthat particular article. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:44,840 –> 00:00:48,800
\nOK.
\nIf we’d like to open at round of<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:48,800 –> 00:00:54,400
\nthree, where we were and where
\nwe finished last time, that’s a <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:54,400 –> 00:00:57,720
\nlittle bit of unfinished work
\nthere to be done. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:57,720 –> 00:01:03,760
\nApparently I turned over a
\ncouple of charts and we missed a<\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:03,760 –> 00:01:07,280
\nbit.
\nAnd of course, in Romans 3, we <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:07,280 –> 00:01:10,440
\nare dealing with what all
\nscholars in and out of the <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:10,440 –> 00:01:16,040
\ntruth, regardless of the most
\nimportant subject, important <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:16,960 –> 00:01:21,560
\nverse on the atonement.
\nOK, so if we just open up Romans<\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:21,560 –> 00:01:28,400
\n3.
\nSee where we are? <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:29,360 –> 00:01:35,960
\nCan you still say, OK, so let’s
\njust capture the flow of <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:35,960 –> 00:01:38,960
\nthought.
\nI mightn’t finish everything <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:38,960 –> 00:01:44,000
\ntonight, but it’s very important
\nthat we finish these verses in <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:48,080
\nRomans chapter 3.
\nOK, so I just grinded into you a<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:48,080 –> 00:01:49,960
\nlittle bit.
\nWe’ll just go over it a little <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:49,960 –> 00:01:54,120
\nbit.
\nOK, If we just pick up verses 18<\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:54,120 –> 00:01:59,600
\nand 19 and Roman 19 and 20 of
\nRomans 3 says you can never be <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:59,600 –> 00:02:02,160
\npronounced righteous by deeds of
\nlaw. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:02,600 –> 00:02:06,560
\nRemember the background deeds of
\nlaw meant earning. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:07,640 –> 00:02:11,440
\nOK, that was a Jewish wrong
\ndoctrine that you could earn <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:11,440 –> 00:02:14,120
\nacceptance in God’s sight,
\nright? <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:14,120 –> 00:02:16,760
\nYou could earn it.
\nThat’s completely wrong concept.<\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:17,120 –> 00:02:21,920
\nIt can’t be earned, whether it’s
\nby grace or their concept of <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:21,920 –> 00:02:24,400
\nearning.
\nYes, it involves obedience. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:24,400 –> 00:02:27,080
\nYes, they both agree.
\nIt involves forgiveness. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:27,080 –> 00:02:31,120
\nThey both agree.
\nBut their bases are completely <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:31,120 –> 00:02:35,200
\ndifferent.
\nThe Jewish view was man was <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:35,200 –> 00:02:40,240
\ncreated with the ability to
\nperform well enough to earn <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:40,240 –> 00:02:43,920
\neternal life.
\nThe argument of the Apostle Paul<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:43,920 –> 00:02:46,520
\nis that that’s absolute
\nnonsense. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:46,760 –> 00:02:50,520
\nOK, the law of Moses condemned
\neverybody. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:50,880 –> 00:02:54,840
\nYou had to keep it wholly and
\nperfectly and continuously <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:55,160 –> 00:02:57,120
\nbefore you could ever have said
\nto earn it. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:57,520 –> 00:02:59,920
\nAnd no one was ever capable of
\ndoing that. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:00,440 –> 00:03:04,600
\nSo the idea of earning his
\nargument right through Romans is<\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:04,720 –> 00:03:08,640
\nis out.
\nSo the argument in Romans is all<\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:08,640 –> 00:03:14,960
\nabout the Jews or man’s method
\nof in becoming righteous before <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:14,960 –> 00:03:20,080
\nthe judge.
\nAnd Paul’s argument now God’s <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:23,560
\ngot a method that he’s given you
\nand you’re going to take on <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:23,560 –> 00:03:27,080
\nboard that method.
\nAnd that method is based on <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:27,080 –> 00:03:33,400
\nfaith in Jesus Christ, in God’s
\nsent, and he sent that Jesus <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:33,400 –> 00:03:39,320
\nChrist as a perfect example of
\nthe method, a perfect example of<\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:39,520 –> 00:03:42,560
\nthe method.
\nIt was a method of dependence <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:42,560 –> 00:03:48,040
\nupon God, and in Christ it
\nproduced a perfect result in US <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:48,040 –> 00:03:53,640
\nusing the same method, we don’t
\nproduce a perfect result, but we<\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:53,640 –> 00:03:57,040
\nacknowledge that.
\nBut because we could see in <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:57,040 –> 00:04:02,360
\nChrist the perfect example of
\nthe power of God’s word right <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:02,360 –> 00:04:07,800
\nand dependence upon that right,
\nHe forgives that. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:07,800 –> 00:04:11,560
\nWhat?
\nChrist’s perfect demonstration <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:11,560 –> 00:04:16,760
\nof the divine method of
\nsalvation becomes a basis for <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:16,760 –> 00:04:23,080
\nwhich God will accept lesser men
\nand women that endeavour to walk<\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:23,640 –> 00:04:26,360
\nand follow in the steps of Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:26,840 –> 00:04:33,320
\nSo that’s it in simple terms.
\nSo he says, so he says in verse <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:33,920 –> 00:04:36,560
\n21.
\nBut now that is with the coming <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:36,560 –> 00:04:39,920
\nof Christ, there is a
\nrighteousness of God. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:40,400 –> 00:04:44,160
\nThis God’s method for you to be
\nrighteous, and it’s a path <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:44,200 –> 00:04:48,440
\nwithout the law has been
\nmanifested all right. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:48,440 –> 00:04:50,720
\nChrist has lived it out and
\nestablished it. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:51,480 –> 00:04:53,840
\nI was witnessed by the law and
\nthe prophets. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:53,840 –> 00:04:57,240
\nThe whole Old Testament from
\nbeginning to end spoke about it <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:57,240 –> 00:05:02,480
\nall the time.
\nVerse 22, It’s a righteousness <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:02,480 –> 00:05:04,880
\nof God.
\nIt’s a divine method for you to <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:04,880 –> 00:05:07,600
\nbe pronounced righteous, but
\nit’s conditional. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:09,080 –> 00:05:12,200
\nYou never earn it, but it is
\nconditional, highly conditional.<\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:12,360 –> 00:05:16,120
\nYou must never confuse
\nconditions with earning. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:16,600 –> 00:05:19,480
\nYou find the churches out there
\nand everything’s got to be love <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:19,480 –> 00:05:22,600
\nand grace.
\nThey say any sort of conditions <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:22,600 –> 00:05:26,000
\nat all constitutes works, and
\nit’s the opposite of grace. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:28,720
\nThey got it all wrong.
\nIt’s completely inconsistent <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:28,720 –> 00:05:32,360
\nwith the Bible.
\nSure, salvation can never be <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:32,360 –> 00:05:36,080
\nearned, but it is conditional.
\nAnd here’s the condition, you’ve<\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:36,080 –> 00:05:40,840
\ngot to have faith in Jesus
\nChrist and what he stands for <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:40,840 –> 00:05:44,320
\nand what he’s done and what God
\nhas done with him, which he goes<\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:44,320 –> 00:05:46,240
\non to describe what God has done
\nwith him. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:46,960 –> 00:05:51,200
\nAnd this righteousness comes
\nunder all those 22 and upon all <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:51,200 –> 00:05:56,560
\nthem, that faith, Jew as well as
\nGentile. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:56,560 –> 00:05:58,800
\nIt’s for everybody.
\nFor there’s no difference <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:58,800 –> 00:06:01,840
\nbetween Jew and Dadawa.
\nWell, they’ve all Jew and <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:01,840 –> 00:06:04,200
\nGeneral.
\nThey’ve seen and they’ve all <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:04,200 –> 00:06:08,280
\ncome short of the glory of God.
\nIt disobeyed God and they’ve <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:08,280 –> 00:06:11,080
\nfiled the manifest God for which
\nthey’ve been created. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:11,080 –> 00:06:17,000
\nFor therefore you can’t, it
\ncan’t be earned, because there’s<\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:17,000 –> 00:06:20,720
\nalways the element of failure.
\nAnd cursed is everyone that <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:20,720 –> 00:06:23,440
\ncontinueth not in all things
\nwhich are written in the book of<\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:23,440 –> 00:06:28,840
\nthe Law to do them.
\nAnd so verse 24 says this method<\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:28,840 –> 00:06:34,000
\nof God we are, we have been
\npronounced righteous freely. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:34,360 –> 00:06:36,680
\nThat’s opposite to earning,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:37,000 –> 00:06:38,880
\nRight.
\nWe have been pronounced <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:38,880 –> 00:06:43,640
\nrighteous freely by God’s grace,
\nsure, but it’s conditional <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:43,800 –> 00:06:48,520
\nthrough the redemption or
\nsalvation that is in Christ <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:48,520 –> 00:06:53,240
\nJesus.
\nGod has established a method and<\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:53,240 –> 00:06:58,640
\nit all centres around Christ
\nliving it out perfectly and <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:58,640 –> 00:07:03,640
\nbecause he’s lived it out
\npurpose purposely, perfectly, He<\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:03,640 –> 00:07:08,640
\ncalls upon all men to identify
\nwith that perfect manifestation <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:08,640 –> 00:07:11,120
\nof God’s method and he’ll accept
\nthem. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:11,680 –> 00:07:18,480
\nThen we we got the verse 25 and
\nwe’d miss verse 26 and verse 26.<\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:18,480 –> 00:07:24,080
\nThere’s a repeat of verse 25 but
\nlet’s just go through 25 is the <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:24,120 –> 00:07:27,280
\nmost important verse we have on
\nthe subject. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:28,200 –> 00:07:32,200
\nIt’s talking about Jesus Christ
\nand what God had done with him. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:32,200 –> 00:07:38,360
\nVerse 25 whom God has set forth.
\nSo God has set him forth. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:38,360 –> 00:07:41,520
\nThe Martin says for a dying, but
\nit makes no difference. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:42,280 –> 00:07:45,920
\nGod has set him forth some
\ntranslator, he’s been publicly <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:45,920 –> 00:07:49,360
\nset forth.
\nSo God sets him forth and he <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:49,360 –> 00:07:51,720
\nsets him forth to be a
\npropitiation. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:52,840 –> 00:07:58,720
\nAnd the word propitiation is
\nactually a Greek word used in <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:58,720 –> 00:08:04,200
\nGreek religions whereby they
\nplacated the wrath of the gods <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:04,200 –> 00:08:08,640
\nby their particular sacrifices
\nand other words, they went <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:08,640 –> 00:08:13,920
\nthrough a protocol by which they
\nwere able to placate the wrath <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:13,960 –> 00:08:18,360
\nof Zeus or or whatever the great
\ngods were at the time. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:18,360 –> 00:08:24,200
\nOK, but the word hillisterion,
\npropitiation is hillisterion and<\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:24,200 –> 00:08:29,960
\nit means the place of favour.
\nAnd it’s used in the Septuagint <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:29,960 –> 00:08:34,880
\nto translate the Hebrew capore,
\nthe place of covering. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:38,840
\nAnd of course, the Caporeth was
\nthe mercy seat on top of the, IT<\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:38,840 –> 00:08:41,480
\nwas the lid on top of the ark,
\nall right. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:41,799 –> 00:08:45,520
\nAnd God’s was in between the
\nCaribbean, represented by his <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:45,520 –> 00:08:48,920
\nglory in between the Caribbean.
\nAnd that’s where the high priest<\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:48,920 –> 00:08:52,760
\nhad to come each year with the
\nblood, all right, and sprinkle <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:52,760 –> 00:08:57,560
\nit before and on the mercy seat
\non the Day of Atonement to make <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:57,560 –> 00:09:02,800
\natonement, to seek to procure
\nthe forgiveness of all Israel’s <\/p>\n
129
\n00:09:02,800 –> 00:09:06,800
\nsins.
\nSo it’s the place of <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:06,800 –> 00:09:09,160
\nforgiveness, if you like.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:09,680 –> 00:09:13,960
\nAnd in Hebrews it’s actually
\ncalled the throne of grace. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:14,480 –> 00:09:19,000
\nHence the the English
\ntranslators have called them <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:19,480 –> 00:09:22,360
\ncalled the hillisteria on the
\ncovering. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:22,360 –> 00:09:26,040
\nThey’ve translated it mercy seat
\nand they’ve taken that from <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:26,040 –> 00:09:31,160
\nHebrews, the end of Hebrews,
\nchapter 4, the throne of grace. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:32,440 –> 00:09:38,120
\nSo Christ, God has set forth
\nJesus Christ as the place of <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:38,120 –> 00:09:40,280
\nmeeting.
\nI’ll meet you here. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:41,160 –> 00:09:44,360
\nIt says he.
\nHere is the propitiation. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:45,440 –> 00:09:49,440
\nActually it’s the whole thing.
\nBut this is the hard point. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:49,800 –> 00:09:54,640
\nHere was where there was a moral
\nvictory of the power of God’s <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:54,640 –> 00:09:57,720
\nthinking, of the power of
\nnatural thinking. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:58,320 –> 00:10:03,480
\nAt last another Adam had come
\nand had gained a victory over <\/p>\n
143
\n00:10:03,480 –> 00:10:09,400
\nsin by taking on board because
\nhe had the capacity to do it, <\/p>\n
144
\n00:10:09,720 –> 00:10:12,120
\ntaking on board the divine
\nmorality. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:12,880 –> 00:10:16,560
\nAnd it proved with all its
\ntemptations and all its trials, <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:16,960 –> 00:10:22,280
\nit proved triumphant, a unique
\naccomplishment. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:23,040 –> 00:10:26,680
\nHow wrought by God.
\nAnd God says, I’ll meet you <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:26,680 –> 00:10:30,320
\nthere.
\nThat’s the place of mercy. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:31,160 –> 00:10:35,280
\nThat’s the place of covering.
\nAnd that’s what should remains. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:35,880 –> 00:10:41,320
\nIt’s used in first John chapter,
\nthe early verses of first John <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:41,560 –> 00:10:46,440
\nchapter 2.
\nIt’s also used in Hebrews 9 to <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:46,440 –> 00:10:52,520
\ntranslate the mercy seat of the
\nthe Tabernacle of the Lord of <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:52,520 –> 00:10:54,960
\nMoses.
\nSo it’s the place. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:54,960 –> 00:10:58,440
\nSo Jesus Christ crucified is the
\nplace. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:59,120 –> 00:11:02,640
\nI’ll meet you there.
\nWhy does God meet you there? <\/p>\n
156
\n00:11:02,640 –> 00:11:06,720
\nThis says you’re and he said
\nI’ll meet you there through <\/p>\n
157
\n00:11:06,720 –> 00:11:08,880
\nfaith.
\nYou can only come there by <\/p>\n
158
\n00:11:08,880 –> 00:11:10,360
\nfaith.
\nYou’re going to believe what <\/p>\n
159
\n00:11:10,360 –> 00:11:13,960
\nthis is all about, OK.
\nYou’re going to believe this. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:14,280 –> 00:11:17,440
\nI’ll meet you there.
\nIf you believe what’s going on, <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:18,760 –> 00:11:22,600
\nI’ll meet you there.
\nWhy does he meet him there? <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:22,600 –> 00:11:27,240
\nWell, it goes on to say
\nappreciation through faith in <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:27,240 –> 00:11:30,040
\nhis blood or his death.
\nHis blood simply means that <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:30,040 –> 00:11:34,920
\ndeath.
\nOK, what did this death do? <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:34,920 –> 00:11:39,480
\nIt says here, it was to declare
\nhis, that is, God’s <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:39,480 –> 00:11:44,000
\nrighteousness.
\nIt was to declare God’s personal<\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:44,000 –> 00:11:49,880
\nrighteousness, to declare that
\nGod is right and just and holy <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:50,080 –> 00:11:58,160
\nand fair and equitable in all
\nthat he does, particularly in <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:58,160 –> 00:12:04,000
\nhis judgement on sin and
\nparticularly in his mercy toward<\/p>\n
170
\n00:12:04,000 –> 00:12:07,960
\nthose who confess their
\nposition. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:12:09,480 –> 00:12:13,920
\nSo in both those areas, plus
\nevery other area, God’s <\/p>\n
172
\n00:12:13,920 –> 00:12:18,400
\nrighteous, and that declares
\nthat God’s righteous. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:12:20,440 –> 00:12:23,000
\nI want you to pick up something
\nI never mentioned about that <\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:23,000 –> 00:12:26,720
\nword declare.
\nWe said that word to declare. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:29,800 –> 00:12:31,440
\nAnd that’s the big picture,
\nreally. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:32,000 –> 00:12:35,120
\nThat’s where we’re going and
\nthat’s where we finish up really<\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:35,520 –> 00:12:39,360
\non that particular thing.
\nThe individual has to have faith<\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:39,760 –> 00:12:43,840
\nin the heart, in Christ, His
\ndevelopment, his baptism, his <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:43,840 –> 00:12:47,520
\nministry, his death, his
\nresurrection, his elevation to <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:47,520 –> 00:12:52,280
\nthe right hand of the Father as
\nour mediator. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:53,080 –> 00:12:57,600
\nHere is our propitiatory.
\nHe does a propitiatory work. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:58,080 –> 00:13:03,320
\nHe declares that God’s righteous
\nand if you believe that, if you <\/p>\n
183
\n00:13:03,320 –> 00:13:07,840
\nbelieve it, God sends
\nforgiveness upon you, called <\/p>\n
184
\n00:13:07,960 –> 00:13:11,360
\nrighteousness upon all, upon all
\nthem they believe. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:13:12,280 –> 00:13:17,040
\nOK, now that word declare.
\nYou got your pencils say the <\/p>\n
186
\n00:13:17,040 –> 00:13:20,000
\nword declare to declare in my
\nBible. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:13:20,000 –> 00:13:23,720
\nIf you’ve got the same Bible
\nright next to it. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:13:24,920 –> 00:13:29,320
\nThere is a quote in my eyes,
\ncan’t read it, but I think it’s <\/p>\n
189
\n00:13:29,320 –> 00:13:36,080
\nPsalm 98 verse 2.
\nNow I pointed out that the word <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:36,080 –> 00:13:42,120
\ndeclare is a very important word
\nin this phrase to declare, pick <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:42,120 –> 00:13:47,240
\nup the word declare.
\nOK, it doesn’t mean to speak <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:47,240 –> 00:13:49,280
\nsomething out to declare it by
\nthat. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:49,280 –> 00:13:54,880
\nIt doesn’t mean that at all.
\nOK, it might involve that, but <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:54,880 –> 00:14:00,360
\nthat’s not its basic meaning.
\nThe basic meaning is to exhibit <\/p>\n
195
\n00:14:01,400 –> 00:14:07,840
\nthe word declare and daxis means
\nto exhibit or to shower. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:14:09,320 –> 00:14:14,400
\nYou know, to exhibit or put on
\nshower and one translation <\/p>\n
197
\n00:14:14,400 –> 00:14:21,000
\ntranslated demonstrate.
\nAnd we talked about going to to <\/p>\n
198
\n00:14:21,040 –> 00:14:24,120
\nAG quip and you I think you go
\nto a place called Echo. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:14:24,120 –> 00:14:27,120
\nWhat a funny name.
\nYou Queenslanders have got funny<\/p>\n
200
\n00:14:27,120 –> 00:14:32,440
\nnames up here, I can tell you.
\nAnyway, in other words, the word<\/p>\n
201
\n00:14:32,440 –> 00:14:36,520
\nmeans to demonstrate something.
\nOK, that’s when you go to a show<\/p>\n
202
\n00:14:36,520 –> 00:14:39,760
\nand you look at certain
\nmachinery being working. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:14:39,760 –> 00:14:43,120
\nGet the idea?
\nSo what Christ is doing when <\/p>\n
204
\n00:14:43,120 –> 00:14:47,400
\nhe’s He lived his life and was
\nperfectly obedient under the <\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:47,400 –> 00:14:53,280
\ndeath of the cross, He
\ndemonstrating God’s personal <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:53,280 –> 00:15:05,160
\nrighteousness as in respect to
\nsin and in respect to obedience <\/p>\n
207
\n00:15:05,240 –> 00:15:13,560
\nand mercy, He was right.
\nHe would be righteous in his <\/p>\n
208
\n00:15:13,560 –> 00:15:16,360
\njudgement on sin.
\nYou know, and I think we quoted <\/p>\n
209
\n00:15:16,360 –> 00:15:19,160
\nRoman 6.
\nThe wages of sin is death. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:15:19,640 –> 00:15:24,840
\nThat’s righteous, and he was,
\nand Christ was demonstrating <\/p>\n
211
\n00:15:24,840 –> 00:15:29,840
\nthat, OK.
\nAnd the gift of God is eternal <\/p>\n
212
\n00:15:29,840 –> 00:15:32,280
\nlife through Jesus Christ our
\nLord. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:15:33,000 –> 00:15:37,560
\nThat’s done righteously.
\nWe can forgive our kids, <\/p>\n
214
\n00:15:37,560 –> 00:15:42,040
\nsometimes quite wrongly.
\nYou mightn’t extract from them <\/p>\n
215
\n00:15:42,040 –> 00:15:44,840
\nproper recognition of what
\nthey’ve done wrong. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:15:44,840 –> 00:15:47,840
\nYou might just say, oh, that’s
\nthem and let them get away with <\/p>\n
217
\n00:15:47,840 –> 00:15:51,600
\nit and you’re only doing the
\nkids harm if you forgive them on<\/p>\n
218
\n00:15:51,600 –> 00:15:53,960
\na wrong basis.
\nThey’re going to be forgiven on <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:53,960 –> 00:15:57,800
\na right basis.
\nAnd God only forgives us when we<\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:57,800 –> 00:16:02,560
\nconfess the facts involved and
\nsee our position. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:16:03,160 –> 00:16:05,960
\nThen he’ll forgive.
\nOtherwise it’s unrighteous <\/p>\n
222
\n00:16:05,960 –> 00:16:10,320
\nforgiveness and he will not when
\nhe forgives. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:16:10,600 –> 00:16:14,720
\nHe won’t lightly pass by the
\njudgement on sin. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:16:15,160 –> 00:16:18,360
\nIf he’s going to give, if he’s
\ngoing to give you forgiveness, <\/p>\n
225
\n00:16:18,720 –> 00:16:22,240
\nhe’ll make sure you recognise
\nwhat you really deserve. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:16:23,160 –> 00:16:26,360
\nThat’s fair, right and just.
\nAnd it’s beneficial for you. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:16:27,240 –> 00:16:29,360
\nIt’s beneficial for you to
\nrealise that. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:16:30,160 –> 00:16:37,240
\nOK, so in Christ it’s been set
\nforth just the the terrible <\/p>\n
229
\n00:16:37,240 –> 00:16:43,360
\nenormity of human sin on the one
\nhand, all right, and the <\/p>\n
230
\n00:16:43,360 –> 00:16:49,160
\nwonderfulness of divine grace
\nand the brightness of demanding <\/p>\n
231
\n00:16:49,160 –> 00:16:53,760
\nfaith before you’ll forgive.
\nThat’s as simple as that. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:16:54,280 –> 00:16:58,480
\nNow this word declare, put a
\ncircle around that Psalm 98 <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:58,480 –> 00:17:02,200
\nverse 2, because it expressed
\nperfectly what the word declare <\/p>\n
234
\n00:17:02,200 –> 00:17:05,599
\nmeans.
\nAnd maybe this declare his <\/p>\n
235
\n00:17:05,599 –> 00:17:09,640
\nrighteousness is actually
\nquoting from Psalm 98 verse 2, <\/p>\n
236
\n00:17:09,800 –> 00:17:12,880
\nalthough I can’t prove it
\nbecause the words aren’t exactly<\/p>\n
237
\n00:17:12,880 –> 00:17:16,880
\nthe same in the Greek
\nSeptuagint, but just turn you <\/p>\n
238
\n00:17:17,040 –> 00:17:20,319
\nkeep your hand in there and just
\nlook at Psalm 98 verse 2. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:17:22,920 –> 00:17:25,560
\nIt’s a good one to circle
\nbecause if you forget what this <\/p>\n
240
\n00:17:25,560 –> 00:17:31,400
\ndeclares all about this Psalm
\ntells you and the Psalm is all <\/p>\n
241
\n00:17:31,400 –> 00:17:37,080
\nabout righteousness and victory
\nand God the judge of all the <\/p>\n
242
\n00:17:37,080 –> 00:17:39,640
\nearth.
\nThat’s what the whole Psalm is <\/p>\n
243
\n00:17:39,640 –> 00:17:44,520
\nabout atonement and I and and
\nhe’s probably quoting verse 2 <\/p>\n
244
\n00:17:45,520 –> 00:17:51,880
\nand Yahweh hath made known his
\nsalvation and notice this, his <\/p>\n
245
\n00:17:51,880 –> 00:17:59,520
\nrighteousness hath he what
\ndeclared openly showed. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:18:00,160 –> 00:18:05,360
\nThat’s exactly what the meaning
\nof declared is in the Greek back<\/p>\n
247
\n00:18:05,400 –> 00:18:11,840
\nup here in Romans 3 openly
\nshowed, OK, if you looked up <\/p>\n
248
\n00:18:11,840 –> 00:18:16,520
\nthat Hebrew word for openly
\nshowed it would it’s it’s <\/p>\n
249
\n00:18:16,520 –> 00:18:20,760
\nplaying something like goal law.
\nI’m not very good at pronouncing<\/p>\n
250
\n00:18:20,760 –> 00:18:23,920
\nHebrew and it actually means the
\nstrip naked. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:18:25,440 –> 00:18:30,720
\nIn other words, fully exposed.
\nSo, so, so Christ is fully <\/p>\n
252
\n00:18:30,720 –> 00:18:37,120
\nexposed God’s righteousness both
\nin respect to sin and in respect<\/p>\n
253
\n00:18:37,120 –> 00:18:41,920
\nto mercy, both in respect to His
\nVerity and in respect to His <\/p>\n
254
\n00:18:41,920 –> 00:18:45,120
\ngoodness.
\nYou can take the whole character<\/p>\n
255
\n00:18:45,120 –> 00:18:47,320
\nof God which Jesus Christ
\nmanifested. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:18:47,320 –> 00:18:49,160
\nWhen you see me, you see the
\nFather. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:18:49,640 –> 00:18:54,040
\nAnd let’s not kid ourselves.
\nHe manifested while the emphasis<\/p>\n
258
\n00:18:54,040 –> 00:18:57,200
\nwas on mercy.
\nAll right, He wouldn’t let the <\/p>\n
259
\n00:18:57,200 –> 00:18:59,560
\ndisciples call fire down on a
\ncity. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:18:59,560 –> 00:19:02,840
\nHe says, you know what manner of
\nspirit, spirit you’re of. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:19:02,840 –> 00:19:05,240
\nWe’ve come to save God, not to
\ndestroy. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:19:05,760 –> 00:19:13,040
\nHowever, he spent his life
\nrecommending right attitudes and<\/p>\n
263
\n00:19:13,040 –> 00:19:18,440
\ndivine like attitudes and
\ncondemning wrong attitudes right<\/p>\n
264
\n00:19:18,440 –> 00:19:21,080
\nfrom his disciples, right
\nthrough the scribes and <\/p>\n
265
\n00:19:21,080 –> 00:19:23,920
\nPharisees, and condemning old
\ncities, didn’t it? <\/p>\n
266
\n00:19:24,240 –> 00:19:29,240
\nIt was a balance of severity and
\na balance of mercy and the <\/p>\n
267
\n00:19:29,240 –> 00:19:35,200
\nrighteous direction should lead
\nus all right and expose the <\/p>\n
268
\n00:19:35,200 –> 00:19:40,760
\nhypocrisy of the earning
\nsalvation with all its wrong <\/p>\n
269
\n00:19:40,760 –> 00:19:45,880
\ndoctrines that the Jews had.
\nThey had every wrong doctrine. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:19:45,880 –> 00:19:49,400
\nThe churches had got to die.
\nI’ve mentioned that before. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:19:49,400 –> 00:19:52,720
\nThey believed that the the devil
\nwasn’t yourself. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:19:52,720 –> 00:19:57,520
\nIt was Beelzebub.
\nOK, the the God of flies of the <\/p>\n
273
\n00:19:57,520 –> 00:20:00,440
\nPhilist, the Philistines, wasn’t
\nit something like that? <\/p>\n
274
\n00:20:00,880 –> 00:20:04,240
\nAnd they believed in purgatory.
\nThey believed in. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:20:04,760 –> 00:20:08,800
\nIn souls and mortal souls and
\ngoing to hell and going to hell.<\/p>\n
276
\n00:20:08,800 –> 00:20:12,400
\nThey’ve believed all that stuff.
\nOK, in other words. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:20:12,800 –> 00:20:19,080
\nAnd like the churches today,
\nthey believed in this concept of<\/p>\n
278
\n00:20:19,240 –> 00:20:23,040
\nburning, even though the
\nchurches would deny that today <\/p>\n
279
\n00:20:23,120 –> 00:20:27,480
\nthey do.
\nWe won’t go into that. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:20:27,480 –> 00:20:34,760
\nThat’s a complex argument.
\nSo Jesus Christ came to <\/p>\n
281
\n00:20:35,280 –> 00:20:41,000
\ndemonstrate God’s personal
\nrighteousness, and that’s to if <\/p>\n
282
\n00:20:41,000 –> 00:20:43,800
\nyou can believe that he
\ndemonstrate God’s personal <\/p>\n
283
\n00:20:43,800 –> 00:20:46,640
\nrighteousness.
\nGod’s prepared to pronounce you <\/p>\n
284
\n00:20:46,640 –> 00:20:48,640
\nrighteous even though you don’t
\ndeserve it. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:20:49,920 –> 00:20:53,480
\nYou pronounce him righteous
\nbecause he is righteous. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:20:53,840 –> 00:20:57,440
\nHe’ll pronounce you righteous
\nbecause you’ve turned around. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:20:57,440 –> 00:21:00,440
\nYou want to copy a follower of
\nGod instead of a follower of <\/p>\n
288
\n00:21:00,440 –> 00:21:04,000
\nyourself and your world.
\nIt’s as simple as that. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:21:04,440 –> 00:21:08,320
\nIf you can see that God’s
\nrighteous has manifested in the <\/p>\n
290
\n00:21:08,320 –> 00:21:13,480
\nwork of Christ, OK, and you’re
\nprepared to turn away from the <\/p>\n
291
\n00:21:14,440 –> 00:21:19,080
\nthe life of sin and try and
\npursue God’s values, He will <\/p>\n
292
\n00:21:19,080 –> 00:21:21,520
\nforgive.
\nHe will pronounce you righteous.<\/p>\n
293
\n00:21:21,520 –> 00:21:27,680
\nOK.
\nBut what God wants in faith is a<\/p>\n
294
\n00:21:27,680 –> 00:21:31,560
\nconfession that He is righteous.
\nThere it is. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:21:31,560 –> 00:21:35,000
\nIt says God’s righteous that
\nsays he wants you to confess <\/p>\n
296
\n00:21:35,000 –> 00:21:38,880
\nthat.
\nAll right, And the confession <\/p>\n
297
\n00:21:38,880 –> 00:21:41,600
\nwas first, and we’ve got a
\nproblem in confessing that. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:44,320
\nAnd the last time we pointed out
\nthere’s a lot of sins. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:21:44,320 –> 00:21:48,160
\nWe haven’t learned of sins yet.
\nAll right, there’s two things <\/p>\n
300
\n00:21:48,160 –> 00:21:50,880
\nthat separated primary from God
\nat certain Ephesians. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:21:51,160 –> 00:21:53,960
\nThat’s ignorance and wicked
\nworks. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:21:54,600 –> 00:21:59,040
\nThat’s what’s OK, Ignorance and
\nwicked works. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:21:59,560 –> 00:22:02,520
\nAnd so there’s a lot of things
\nwe don’t even know are sins yet.<\/p>\n
304
\n00:22:03,080 –> 00:22:05,800
\nAnd yet you’re saying confess
\nyour sin. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:22:06,360 –> 00:22:09,800
\nWe can only do it partially.
\nAlso, I also want you to <\/p>\n
306
\n00:22:09,840 –> 00:22:13,920
\nconfess.
\nBut holiness be holy, for I am <\/p>\n
307
\n00:22:13,920 –> 00:22:17,200
\nholy.
\nWe know a lot of God’s righteous<\/p>\n
308
\n00:22:17,200 –> 00:22:20,440
\nvalue, don’t know them all, and
\nwe don’t know how to apply them <\/p>\n
309
\n00:22:20,440 –> 00:22:22,600
\nall in 1,000,001 situations in
\nlife. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:22:22,760 –> 00:22:27,720
\nIt’s a lifetime’s job.
\nOK, so we can only confess sin <\/p>\n
311
\n00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:32,600
\nand holiness to a limited
\ndegree, except this unique man <\/p>\n
312
\n00:22:32,600 –> 00:22:36,720
\nhere, he was tempted in all
\npoints. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:22:37,280 –> 00:22:41,480
\nHe could recognize every sin.
\nTherefore he would recognize <\/p>\n
314
\n00:22:41,600 –> 00:22:46,920
\nevery temptation, right?
\nAnd he could recognize every <\/p>\n
315
\n00:22:46,920 –> 00:22:50,040
\nright attitude and every action.
\nThat’s right. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:22:50,720 –> 00:22:53,480
\nHe was taught of God from right
\nfrom his early age. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:56,920
\nGod opened his ear morning by
\nmorning, developed his <\/p>\n
318
\n00:22:56,920 –> 00:22:58,480
\nspirituality.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:22:58,880 –> 00:23:02,440
\nI mean, he was a second Adam.
\nThere’s only three people <\/p>\n
320
\n00:23:02,440 –> 00:23:04,160
\nbegotten by God, and that’s
\nAdam. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:23:04,160 –> 00:23:08,160
\nHe was another son of God, and
\nhe had these capacities. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:23:08,440 –> 00:23:15,240
\nOK, Yeah, you might call him a
\nmoral freak relative to us, but <\/p>\n
323
\n00:23:15,240 –> 00:23:21,760
\nthat didn’t make him not a man.
\nI mean, Einstein was a bit of a <\/p>\n
324
\n00:23:21,760 –> 00:23:23,440
\nfreak.
\nAnd there’s some people that are<\/p>\n
325
\n00:23:23,720 –> 00:23:27,320
\nfreaks in mathematics and they
\ndon’t know how they can do it, <\/p>\n
326
\n00:23:27,320 –> 00:23:30,480
\nbut they can just work this
\nmathematics out in seconds like <\/p>\n
327
\n00:23:30,480 –> 00:23:32,560
\na computer.
\nThey don’t even understand how <\/p>\n
328
\n00:23:32,560 –> 00:23:36,040
\nthey can do it.
\nOK, but that doesn’t make him <\/p>\n
329
\n00:23:36,040 –> 00:23:39,760
\nnot a man.
\nThey’re like passions as we are <\/p>\n
330
\n00:23:40,240 –> 00:23:42,800
\nand have the same same problems
\nthat we have. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:23:43,200 –> 00:23:48,360
\nSo this was declaration was
\nactually a confession in action,<\/p>\n
332
\n00:23:48,520 –> 00:23:51,640
\nin action, all right, He was
\ndemonstrating it. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:23:52,040 –> 00:23:54,920
\nHe not only did it in words, he
\ndid it and he lived it out. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:55,360 –> 00:24:01,200
\nHe’s called truth as it is in
\nChrist Jesus. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:24:01,280 –> 00:24:04,840
\nIt should be truth, which is
\nChrist Jesus. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:24:05,120 –> 00:24:08,200
\nSo he was confessing, he was an
\nexpert. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:24:08,360 –> 00:24:10,200
\nHe was a you’d say he’d never
\nsinned. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:24:10,200 –> 00:24:13,240
\nHe wouldn’t be an expert.
\nThat’s completely wrong. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:24:14,360 –> 00:24:18,440
\nThe more you sin, the less you
\ncan recognize sin, but less just<\/p>\n
340
\n00:24:18,440 –> 00:24:20,520
\nsin, the more you can recognise
\nsin. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:24:21,440 –> 00:24:25,520
\nIf you’d been tempted with every
\nsin but never yielded to it, <\/p>\n
342
\n00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:31,720
\nyou’d understand sin and sinners
\nbetter than any Sinner around. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:24:33,040 –> 00:24:35,560
\nPlus the fact you had the Holy
\nSpirit to be able to read <\/p>\n
344
\n00:24:35,560 –> 00:24:40,000
\npeople’s minds, you’d be able to
\nread and analyse what effect <\/p>\n
345
\n00:24:40,000 –> 00:24:42,800
\ntheir transgressions were having
\non their personality and <\/p>\n
346
\n00:24:42,800 –> 00:24:45,560
\ncharacter.
\nSo is the only man really <\/p>\n
347
\n00:24:45,560 –> 00:24:49,120
\nqualified to confess the sin of
\nmankind? <\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:49,480 –> 00:24:52,840
\nEvery sin?
\nThat’s the same as he was the <\/p>\n
349
\n00:24:52,840 –> 00:24:57,240
\nonly man qualified to take on
\nboard the full divine morality <\/p>\n
350
\n00:24:57,520 –> 00:25:01,320
\nand recognise every righteous
\nattitude, every righteous act? <\/p>\n
351
\n00:25:02,160 –> 00:25:06,200
\nI mean, he’s a unique man
\nspecially prepared to <\/p>\n
352
\n00:25:06,200 –> 00:25:16,520
\ndemonstrate human sin and divine
\nrighteousness and therefore a <\/p>\n
353
\n00:25:16,520 –> 00:25:24,080
\nperfect example for us to follow
\na perfect example. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:25:25,560 –> 00:25:28,320
\nIt’s interesting.
\nI shouldn’t do this, but this <\/p>\n
355
\n00:25:28,320 –> 00:25:32,120
\nword declare is a very
\ninteresting word occurs all that<\/p>\n
356
\n00:25:32,280 –> 00:25:34,800
\nplace we want to follow it.
\nPick up the word show in the <\/p>\n
357
\n00:25:34,800 –> 00:25:39,760
\nBible and occurs a lot right,
\nAnd the key letters in it are <\/p>\n
358
\n00:25:39,760 –> 00:25:45,360
\nDEI, which means to exhibit.
\nThere’s all sorts of words that <\/p>\n
359
\n00:25:45,680 –> 00:25:47,600
\nare made-up different words.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:25:48,160 –> 00:25:56,440
\nAnd one of the most quite a
\ncommon use, it’s translated <\/p>\n
361
\n00:25:56,440 –> 00:26:02,960
\nexample.
\nSomeone says, Oh yeah, you know,<\/p>\n
362
\n00:26:03,360 –> 00:26:05,680
\nhow do you hit that ball with
\nhow do you play this girl? <\/p>\n
363
\n00:26:06,240 –> 00:26:07,920
\nHe says, he says, well, I’ll
\nshow you. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:26:08,680 –> 00:26:10,960
\nAnd he shows you, Yeah.
\nIn other words, you’ve given him<\/p>\n
365
\n00:26:10,960 –> 00:26:13,880
\nan example of how to do it.
\nSo the idea of example. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:26:15,720 –> 00:26:19,920
\nNow just bear that in mind.
\nWe preach the truth about Christ<\/p>\n
367
\n00:26:19,920 –> 00:26:22,240
\ncrucified.
\nWe’ve got to get, when we speak <\/p>\n
368
\n00:26:22,240 –> 00:26:24,440
\nto interested friends, we’ve got
\nto get down to a very simple <\/p>\n
369
\n00:26:24,440 –> 00:26:28,960
\nlanguage.
\nYou could actually say he <\/p>\n
370
\n00:26:28,960 –> 00:26:36,960
\nexemplified God’s righteousness.
\nHe was an example, right, of <\/p>\n
371
\n00:26:37,760 –> 00:26:42,000
\ndeclaring, if you like, he was
\nan example, He showed how sinful<\/p>\n
372
\n00:26:42,000 –> 00:26:45,560
\nman was and and he showed our
\nrighteous God. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:26:45,560 –> 00:26:50,280
\nHe was a perfect example of
\nthis, a perfect example of <\/p>\n
374
\n00:26:50,280 –> 00:26:54,360
\nrejecting sin, the perfect
\nexample of taking on board the <\/p>\n
375
\n00:26:54,360 –> 00:26:59,840
\ndivine mind so that it could be
\nobedient, so you could actually <\/p>\n
376
\n00:26:59,840 –> 00:27:02,000
\npreach the gospel in the
\nsimplest possible way. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:27:02,000 –> 00:27:04,960
\nYou could say, well, what’s
\nJesus Christ death all about? <\/p>\n
378
\n00:27:05,320 –> 00:27:08,760
\nWell, it’s a perfect example of
\nthe life that God wants, the <\/p>\n
379
\n00:27:08,760 –> 00:27:12,760
\nperfect method of salvation.
\nAnd if you’re prepared to accept<\/p>\n
380
\n00:27:12,760 –> 00:27:17,320
\nthat perfect method and copy it
\nand use the same methods, all <\/p>\n
381
\n00:27:17,320 –> 00:27:21,280
\nright, take on board the divine
\nmind as best you can and, and <\/p>\n
382
\n00:27:21,280 –> 00:27:25,240
\nreject the sins you can
\nrecognize God’s prepared to <\/p>\n
383
\n00:27:25,240 –> 00:27:27,360
\nforgive you.
\nIt’s as simple as that. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:27:27,720 –> 00:27:29,880
\nThat’s how the simple truth we
\nshould be preaching. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:27:29,880 –> 00:27:33,160
\nPaul went through the Greek
\naround the world beaching Christ<\/p>\n
386
\n00:27:33,160 –> 00:27:37,320
\ncrucified, although no other
\nthing amongst you but Jesus <\/p>\n
387
\n00:27:37,320 –> 00:27:41,360
\nChrist and him, a crucified one.
\nThat’s what he went doing. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:27:42,560 –> 00:27:49,480
\nSo, so the righteousness of God
\nrevolves around those two <\/p>\n
389
\n00:27:49,480 –> 00:27:52,320
\nthings.
\nYou know, wages of sin is death,<\/p>\n
390
\n00:27:52,320 –> 00:27:56,360
\nthe gift of God’s eternal life.
\nIt says in Isaiah 40 the same <\/p>\n
391
\n00:27:56,360 –> 00:27:59,360
\nthing in different words.
\nAll flesh is grass. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:27:59,480 –> 00:28:03,640
\nWages of sin is death.
\nThe Word of God endures forever <\/p>\n
393
\n00:28:04,040 –> 00:28:08,760
\nthe gift of God’s eternal life.
\nYou’ll find this expressed in <\/p>\n
394
\n00:28:08,760 –> 00:28:11,320
\ndozens of different ways
\nthroughout the Bible. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:28:11,520 –> 00:28:19,400
\nYou can trace it through in your
\ndaily readings, you know, in a <\/p>\n
396
\n00:28:19,400 –> 00:28:22,800
\ndozen different ways.
\nI’ve just got to resist tempting<\/p>\n
397
\n00:28:22,800 –> 00:28:28,880
\ntaking you through it.
\nOK, now this is this declaration<\/p>\n
398
\n00:28:29,000 –> 00:28:33,680
\nof God’s righteousness is the
\nbasis for the remission of sins <\/p>\n
399
\n00:28:33,680 –> 00:28:36,400
\nthat are passed.
\nThe word remission. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:28:36,400 –> 00:28:39,640
\nThere’s not the usual word
\nusually in the New Testament <\/p>\n
401
\n00:28:39,640 –> 00:28:42,560
\nword remission means to send
\naway. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:28:42,560 –> 00:28:46,960
\nIt means to forgive an often
\ntranslator forgiveness, OK, it’s<\/p>\n
403
\n00:28:46,960 –> 00:28:50,480
\nit’s a word taken the scapegoat,
\nwhere the symbolically all the <\/p>\n
404
\n00:28:50,480 –> 00:28:53,560
\nsins were placed on the
\nscapegoat’s back and they sent <\/p>\n
405
\n00:28:53,560 –> 00:28:55,920
\nhim in the wilderness.
\nHe was remitted like a letter. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:28:55,920 –> 00:28:57,920
\nHe was remitted into the
\nwilderness, that guy. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:28:58,400 –> 00:29:02,480
\nBut this is a different word.
\nIt actually means to relax, to <\/p>\n
408
\n00:29:02,480 –> 00:29:07,640
\nlet it pass by.
\nIn other words, because you <\/p>\n
409
\n00:29:07,640 –> 00:29:12,680
\nbelieve and confess your
\nposition and you confess the <\/p>\n
410
\n00:29:12,680 –> 00:29:16,800
\nideal, and thereby by comparing
\nyourself with it, you confess <\/p>\n
411
\n00:29:16,800 –> 00:29:23,240
\nyour position.
\nGod relaxes and he relaxes the <\/p>\n
412
\n00:29:23,240 –> 00:29:26,200
\nsins of the past.
\nIn other words, he forgives. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:29:26,760 –> 00:29:31,280
\nOK, He forgives them and
\nforgives quite remissions. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:29:31,280 –> 00:29:36,080
\nQuite a good translation,
\nreally, even though technically <\/p>\n
415
\n00:29:36,080 –> 00:29:40,840
\nit’s not.
\nLet’s go back to Romans 3. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:29:42,040 –> 00:29:45,400
\nWe’re inside.
\nLet’s go back to our industry. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:29:46,600 –> 00:29:49,640
\nSo it’s a basis.
\nIt’s the condition upon which <\/p>\n
418
\n00:29:49,640 –> 00:29:52,640
\nGod’s grace comes.
\nIt says for the mission of sins <\/p>\n
419
\n00:29:52,640 –> 00:29:55,400
\nof the past.
\nAnd Brother Carter suggests that<\/p>\n
420
\n00:29:55,400 –> 00:30:00,040
\nmeans not our past sins.
\nThat means he suggests it means <\/p>\n
421
\n00:30:00,440 –> 00:30:04,280
\nthe basis for remission of all
\nsins done from Adam to Christ. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:30:05,440 –> 00:30:09,400
\nAnd that’s why we’ve got the
\nnext verse, which the the the <\/p>\n
423
\n00:30:09,400 –> 00:30:13,520
\nverse is virtually repeated in
\nthe shorter form and says and <\/p>\n
424
\n00:30:13,680 –> 00:30:18,080
\nfor this time.
\nIn other words, verse 20 fives <\/p>\n
425
\n00:30:18,080 –> 00:30:21,760
\ndealing with the sacrifice for
\nChrist as a basis for the <\/p>\n
426
\n00:30:21,760 –> 00:30:24,360
\nforgiveness of sins, right for
\nMadam to Christ. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:30:24,640 –> 00:30:28,640
\nAnd the next verse deals with
\nthat sacrifice is the base of <\/p>\n
428
\n00:30:28,640 –> 00:30:33,680
\nall sins, forgiveness of all
\nsins from Christ onward from <\/p>\n
429
\n00:30:33,680 –> 00:30:41,160
\nChrist onward in this time turn
\nthe two over again made the same<\/p>\n
430
\n00:30:41,160 –> 00:30:47,440
\nmistake, didn’t I?
\nNow we go to verse 26. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:30:47,720 –> 00:30:49,560
\nSo we haven’t looked at verse
\n26. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:30:49,560 –> 00:30:54,680
\nLet’s look at verse 26 to
\ndeclare and it’s not up there, <\/p>\n
433
\n00:30:54,880 –> 00:31:00,480
\nOK to declares that same word
\nagain to demonstrate I say at <\/p>\n
434
\n00:31:00,480 –> 00:31:05,840
\nthis time or for this time.
\nIn other words, verse 25 says <\/p>\n
435
\n00:31:05,840 –> 00:31:09,560
\nthat was the basis of God
\nforgiving for Madam right up to <\/p>\n
436
\n00:31:09,560 –> 00:31:12,560
\nChrist.
\nThen he says verse 26. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:31:12,640 –> 00:31:15,760
\nIt’s also the basis from Christ
\nonward to declare. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:31:15,760 –> 00:31:20,000
\nI say at this time, that is in
\nthe sense of from this time <\/p>\n
439
\n00:31:20,000 –> 00:31:27,120
\nforward to demonstrate that at
\nthis time he is, that is God’s <\/p>\n
440
\n00:31:27,920 –> 00:31:32,880
\nas personally righteous to
\ndeclare his righteousness that <\/p>\n
441
\n00:31:32,880 –> 00:31:41,160
\nhe might be righteous and a
\nrighteous fire of him which has <\/p>\n
442
\n00:31:41,160 –> 00:31:49,080
\nfaith in that work of Jesus
\ndescribed in verse 25, that he <\/p>\n
443
\n00:31:49,080 –> 00:31:53,880
\nmight be just and a justifier
\nthat he might be righteous and a<\/p>\n
444
\n00:31:53,880 –> 00:31:58,360
\nrighteous fire.
\nHe’s actually quoting from <\/p>\n
445
\n00:31:58,360 –> 00:32:05,200
\nIsaiah 45, which is a chapter
\nwhich deals the God that saves. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:32:06,440 –> 00:32:10,680
\nAnd we’re going to pick this up
\nbecause it talks about burying <\/p>\n
447
\n00:32:10,680 –> 00:32:13,120
\nthe knee and confessing your
\nposition. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:32:14,680 –> 00:32:17,680
\nBurying the knee and confessing
\nyour position. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:32:17,680 –> 00:32:20,960
\nThere’s a bloke burying his
\nknee, OK. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:32:21,640 –> 00:32:29,040
\nAnd the quote was put by where
\nGod says I am a just God and a <\/p>\n
451
\n00:32:29,040 –> 00:32:34,240
\nsavior and a justifier.
\nNo practical difference. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:32:34,240 –> 00:32:38,240
\nOK.
\nAnd when you go to Isaiah 45, <\/p>\n
453
\n00:32:40,680 –> 00:32:44,800
\nit’s interesting to go there and
\njust have a look at that. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:32:45,280 –> 00:32:54,040
\nOK, just for a moment.
\nIn other words, the main verse <\/p>\n
455
\n00:32:54,040 –> 00:32:58,800
\nin the atonement in the Bible is
\nbuilt on Isaiah 45. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:32:58,800 –> 00:33:01,520
\nThat’s interesting.
\nYou know, we’ve got we ought to <\/p>\n
457
\n00:33:01,520 –> 00:33:04,960
\nlook at it just for a second.
\nOf course it’s the servant <\/p>\n
458
\n00:33:04,960 –> 00:33:09,440
\nprophecies and Isaiah 40 right
\nthrough to the end of the rest <\/p>\n
459
\n00:33:09,440 –> 00:33:12,320
\nof Isaiah’s full of the
\natonement full of it. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:33:14,600 –> 00:33:22,880
\nIt’s all about God being a
\nsaviour of verse 11 that saith <\/p>\n
461
\n00:33:22,880 –> 00:33:28,080
\nYahweh the holy one of Israel
\nthan his maker ask of things to <\/p>\n
462
\n00:33:28,080 –> 00:33:33,520
\ncome concerning my sons and
\nconcerning the work of my hands <\/p>\n
463
\n00:33:33,520 –> 00:33:35,560
\ncommand you and you asked me
\nabout that. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:33:35,960 –> 00:33:43,720
\nOK now verse 13 I raised him up
\nin righteousness and he the type<\/p>\n
465
\n00:33:43,720 –> 00:33:48,200
\nis Cyrus, but the language is
\ntoo powerful for Cyrus. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:33:48,520 –> 00:33:50,320
\nI’ve raised him up in
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:33:50,320 –> 00:33:54,040
\nI will direct his ways and he
\nwill build my city and so on and<\/p>\n
468
\n00:33:54,040 –> 00:33:56,080
\nso on and he’ll let my captives
\ngo free. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:33:56,320 –> 00:34:00,080
\nWell, for without reward or
\nprize. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:34:01,000 –> 00:34:04,640
\nVerse 15.
\nVerily thou Adele, and their <\/p>\n
471
\n00:34:04,640 –> 00:34:12,280
\nheight of thyself, O God of
\nIsrael the Saviour, they shall <\/p>\n
472
\n00:34:12,280 –> 00:34:15,560
\nbe ashamed.
\nVerse 16 And also confounded all<\/p>\n
473
\n00:34:15,560 –> 00:34:20,719
\nthem that go to confusion
\ntogether that are makers of <\/p>\n
474
\n00:34:20,719 –> 00:34:26,040
\nidols.
\nVerse 17 but Israel shall be <\/p>\n
475
\n00:34:26,199 –> 00:34:32,159
\nsaved in Yahweh with an
\neverlasting salvation. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:34:32,760 –> 00:34:39,080
\nYou should not be shamed nor
\nconfounded well without our end,<\/p>\n
477
\n00:34:39,199 –> 00:34:43,000
\nwhich is the alarm we add for
\nthe for the Millennium and <\/p>\n
478
\n00:34:43,000 –> 00:34:46,199
\nbeyond and forever and ever.
\nOK, he’s talking about <\/p>\n
479
\n00:34:46,560 –> 00:34:49,120
\neverlasting salvation.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:34:50,360 –> 00:34:53,639
\nAnd he says we often vote verse
\n18 in our lectures. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:34:53,639 –> 00:34:56,639
\nFor thus saith Yahweh that
\ncreated the heavens, Elohim <\/p>\n
482
\n00:34:56,639 –> 00:34:59,280
\nhimself that formed the earth
\nand made it. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:34:59,600 –> 00:35:02,560
\nHe has established it.
\nHe created it not in vain. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:35:02,560 –> 00:35:05,560
\nHe formed it to be inhabited.
\nI am Yahweh and there’s none <\/p>\n
485
\n00:35:05,560 –> 00:35:09,840
\nelse.
\nI have not spoken in secret in <\/p>\n
486
\n00:35:09,840 –> 00:35:12,520
\nthe dark place of the earth.
\nI said not under the seat of <\/p>\n
487
\n00:35:12,520 –> 00:35:19,040
\nJacob, seek ye me and faith, as
\nare those that seek God, who <\/p>\n
488
\n00:35:19,040 –> 00:35:22,280
\ndiligently seek him.
\nSeek him in vain. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:35:22,680 –> 00:35:29,680
\nI, Yahweh, speak righteousness.
\nI haven’t asked you to seek me <\/p>\n
490
\n00:35:29,680 –> 00:35:32,560
\nout in vain.
\nIf I’ve asked you to seek you <\/p>\n
491
\n00:35:32,560 –> 00:35:37,200
\nout, it’s it’s a righteous thing
\nthat I’ve asked you to do and <\/p>\n
492
\n00:35:37,200 –> 00:35:40,680
\nI’ll be faithful.
\nIf you seek me out and find me, <\/p>\n
493
\n00:35:41,200 –> 00:35:44,000
\nyou’ll get what I promise
\nbecause I’m righteous. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:35:47,000 –> 00:35:50,560
\nVerse 20 Assemble yourselves and
\ncome draw near you that are <\/p>\n
495
\n00:35:50,560 –> 00:35:55,720
\nescaped to the nations that have
\nno knowledge to set up wood of <\/p>\n
496
\n00:35:55,720 –> 00:36:00,320
\ntheir graven image and pray unto
\na God that cannot save. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:36:02,200 –> 00:36:06,400
\nThe Jews had one of those.
\nIt wasn’t actually an idol God, <\/p>\n
498
\n00:36:06,760 –> 00:36:10,680
\nit was an idol concept.
\nWe can earn salvation. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:36:11,000 –> 00:36:15,320
\nWe’ve got Abraham to our father.
\nWe are a superior people. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:36:15,680 –> 00:36:17,920
\nThe weak, the flesh has got
\nweaknesses, but it’s got a lot <\/p>\n
501
\n00:36:17,920 –> 00:36:20,840
\nof strength.
\nAnd that just so long as we <\/p>\n
502
\n00:36:20,840 –> 00:36:25,400
\napply that strength and practice
\nourselves in keeping a divine <\/p>\n
503
\n00:36:25,400 –> 00:36:28,200
\nlaw outside of us, we earn
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:36:28,440 –> 00:36:31,840
\nWell, that was an image.
\nIt was the wrong concept and <\/p>\n
505
\n00:36:31,840 –> 00:36:35,400
\nthey’re trying to be saved by a
\nhuman method that was wrong. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:36:36,760 –> 00:36:39,240
\nVerse 21 tell you and bring them
\nnear you. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:36:39,240 –> 00:36:42,760
\nLet them take counsel together
\nwho had declared this from <\/p>\n
508
\n00:36:42,760 –> 00:36:45,040
\nancient time.
\nWe were told that from that time<\/p>\n
509
\n00:36:45,360 –> 00:36:50,880
\nhave not I Yahweh.
\nThere is no Elohim apart from <\/p>\n
510
\n00:36:50,880 –> 00:36:53,480
\nme.
\nThere’ll be no angels, except <\/p>\n
511
\n00:36:53,480 –> 00:36:57,000
\nthey come by Me.
\nThen we have the expression <\/p>\n
512
\n00:36:57,000 –> 00:37:02,960
\nhere, Here we have it, a just
\nIsle and a Saviour. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:37:03,680 –> 00:37:09,080
\nThere is none, only me, a just
\nand a so. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:37:09,720 –> 00:37:14,240
\nSo he says, look under me.
\nVerse 22 pick up that word, <\/p>\n
515
\n00:37:14,240 –> 00:37:28,080
\nlook, look unto me, behold me if
\nyou like, behold me OK, and and <\/p>\n
516
\n00:37:28,240 –> 00:37:34,080
\nbeing ye saved, you’ve just got
\nto behold me, see me for what I <\/p>\n
517
\n00:37:34,080 –> 00:37:37,200
\nam and be saved all ends of the
\nearth. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:37:37,600 –> 00:37:39,720
\nI am male, and there is none
\nelse. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:37:42,080 –> 00:37:45,920
\nAnd then he makes an oath.
\nI’ve sworn by myself. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:37:45,920 –> 00:37:49,880
\nThe word has gone out of my
\nmouth in righteousness, and <\/p>\n
521
\n00:37:49,880 –> 00:37:53,280
\nshall not return.
\nAnd this is the oath that under <\/p>\n
522
\n00:37:53,280 –> 00:38:02,640
\nme every knee will bear, and
\nevery tongue shall swear, or as <\/p>\n
523
\n00:38:02,640 –> 00:38:07,720
\nPaul translates it, confess.
\nNow this is quoted in a few <\/p>\n
524
\n00:38:07,720 –> 00:38:11,960
\nplaces in the New Testament.
\nThis oath under me every knee <\/p>\n
525
\n00:38:11,960 –> 00:38:15,880
\nshall bear.
\nThere he is, every tongue will <\/p>\n
526
\n00:38:15,880 –> 00:38:19,440
\nconfess.
\nConfession. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:38:20,280 –> 00:38:26,600
\nRemember our famous quote from
\nHebrews, David, Proverbs 2813. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:38:27,000 –> 00:38:32,320
\nHe that confesseth and
\nforsakeeth his sin will find <\/p>\n
529
\n00:38:32,320 –> 00:38:36,960
\nmercy with God.
\nSo God says you’ve got to look <\/p>\n
530
\n00:38:36,960 –> 00:38:42,360
\nat me and you’ve got to bow the
\nknee and you’ve got to confess <\/p>\n
531
\n00:38:42,360 –> 00:38:49,760
\nyour position.
\nOK, acknowledge your position <\/p>\n
532
\n00:38:55,880 –> 00:38:59,480
\nand that involves, you know the
\nway the sin is death. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:39:00,440 –> 00:39:06,480
\nYou confess your position and
\nyou confess to the point where <\/p>\n
534
\n00:39:06,480 –> 00:39:10,920
\nit it converts you.
\nYou look at Christ and you see <\/p>\n
535
\n00:39:10,920 –> 00:39:14,560
\nthe terribleness of sin and what
\nsin did to him and what it’s <\/p>\n
536
\n00:39:14,560 –> 00:39:17,880
\ndoing to the glory of God.
\nAnd yet when you’re looking <\/p>\n
537
\n00:39:17,880 –> 00:39:20,800
\ninside that man, you see a
\nwonderful mind that was able to <\/p>\n
538
\n00:39:20,800 –> 00:39:23,920
\nbe perfectly obedient even under
\nthe death of the cross. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:39:25,080 –> 00:39:29,360
\nWhen you see that and it turns
\nyou around to stop pursuing the <\/p>\n
540
\n00:39:29,360 –> 00:39:33,840
\nlife of sin and the pursuit life
\nof God, you know what you’ve <\/p>\n
541
\n00:39:33,840 –> 00:39:39,160
\ndone.
\nYou know what you you’ve given <\/p>\n
542
\n00:39:39,160 –> 00:39:45,640
\nup your own life.
\nYou’ve given up living to <\/p>\n
543
\n00:39:45,640 –> 00:39:50,640
\nyourself.
\nIt’s a death, a very real death.<\/p>\n
544
\n00:39:51,400 –> 00:39:55,600
\nHe that loses his life will find
\nit, right? <\/p>\n
545
\n00:39:55,880 –> 00:39:58,520
\nBut he that saves his life,
\nhe’ll lose it. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:39:58,960 –> 00:40:02,880
\nIt’s a very real death.
\nIt’s a moral death. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:40:03,760 –> 00:40:07,680
\nIt’s a bit like a man who should
\nhang for murder, and the judge <\/p>\n
548
\n00:40:07,680 –> 00:40:10,440
\nsays, well, we can hang you and
\nthat’ll all be over in a second.<\/p>\n
549
\n00:40:11,640 –> 00:40:17,000
\nOr else for the rest of your
\ndays, you’ve got to work in the <\/p>\n
550
\n00:40:17,000 –> 00:40:21,880
\nhospital without money, without
\npay, with any days off, you’re <\/p>\n
551
\n00:40:21,880 –> 00:40:26,360
\ngoing to totally commit yourself
\nto the benefit of other people. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:40:26,480 –> 00:40:31,880
\nIn other words, your personal
\nlife’s finished, right? <\/p>\n
553
\n00:40:31,960 –> 00:40:36,120
\nYou can choose which death you
\nlike, but they’re both death to <\/p>\n
554
\n00:40:36,120 –> 00:40:39,840
\nyour own will and to to your own
\ndirections. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:40:39,840 –> 00:40:43,840
\nSelfish existence.
\nIt’s a death, and God regards <\/p>\n
556
\n00:40:43,840 –> 00:40:49,760
\nthat as satisfying his judgement
\non us for seed instead of <\/p>\n
557
\n00:40:50,000 –> 00:40:52,680
\nkilling us and leaving us in the
\ngrave forever. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:40:53,840 –> 00:40:59,000
\nIt’s a moral death and it
\nvindicates God better than if he<\/p>\n
559
\n00:40:59,000 –> 00:41:03,320
\nkilled you.
\nThat’s a quite a clear concept <\/p>\n
560
\n00:41:03,320 –> 00:41:05,200
\nthere.
\nQuite a clear concept. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:41:05,680 –> 00:41:09,200
\nThat’s why you wonder why Christ
\ntalks like that way. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:41:09,200 –> 00:41:13,040
\nYou know, you can’t reserve
\nyourself a sin. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:41:13,040 –> 00:41:17,120
\nYou go, you got to you got to
\nforsake your life. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:41:17,520 –> 00:41:20,760
\nYou say, well, these are pretty
\nhigh standards, OK, But <\/p>\n
565
\n00:41:20,760 –> 00:41:24,960
\nremember, it is direction.
\nSure, sometimes we turn around, <\/p>\n
566
\n00:41:24,960 –> 00:41:28,280
\ndo something selfish and we see
\nit, but that’s our committed <\/p>\n
567
\n00:41:28,280 –> 00:41:31,960
\ndirection in life.
\nInstead of us chasing the life <\/p>\n
568
\n00:41:31,960 –> 00:41:34,920
\nof selfishness, we’re chasing
\nthe life of God. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:41:35,080 –> 00:41:37,920
\nAnd now and again it gives us a
\nflying tackle. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:41:37,920 –> 00:41:40,800
\nWe fall in our face.
\nGod understands that and He <\/p>\n
571
\n00:41:40,800 –> 00:41:43,960
\nforgives for Christ’s sake.
\nSo long as you get up and keep <\/p>\n
572
\n00:41:43,960 –> 00:41:48,160
\nheading in the right direction.
\nThat’s practical, simple and <\/p>\n
573
\n00:41:48,160 –> 00:41:51,160
\nfunctional and very merciful.
\nAnd it works. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:41:52,600 –> 00:41:57,240
\nSo where’s this first quoted?
\nWell, it’s quite a remember in <\/p>\n
575
\n00:41:57,240 –> 00:42:00,920
\nPhilippians now that this pombe
\nI knew which was in Christ <\/p>\n
576
\n00:42:00,920 –> 00:42:05,640
\nJesus, who those in the form of
\nGod thought it not robbery to be<\/p>\n
577
\n00:42:05,640 –> 00:42:09,000
\nlike God, but being found in
\nfashion of man, He emptied <\/p>\n
578
\n00:42:09,000 –> 00:42:15,280
\nhimself and became obedient.
\nI’m not quoting a perfect He <\/p>\n
579
\n00:42:15,440 –> 00:42:20,480
\nbecame obedient even under that
\nhe humiliated himself, he <\/p>\n
580
\n00:42:20,480 –> 00:42:24,120
\nhumiliated self and became
\nobedient even to the death of <\/p>\n
581
\n00:42:24,120 –> 00:42:26,520
\nthe cross.
\nWherefore God hath highly <\/p>\n
582
\n00:42:26,520 –> 00:42:31,000
\nexalted him and given him a name
\nwhich is above every name, that <\/p>\n
583
\n00:42:31,000 –> 00:42:34,400
\nat the name of Jesus.
\nAnd explain this, the name of <\/p>\n
584
\n00:42:34,440 –> 00:42:39,360
\nJesus every knee should bear and
\nevery tongue confessed all <\/p>\n
585
\n00:42:39,360 –> 00:42:43,880
\nright, that Jesus is Lord, the
\nglory of God the Father. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:42:45,880 –> 00:42:51,240
\nGod exalted him to be his vice
\nRegent, his representative for <\/p>\n
587
\n00:42:51,240 –> 00:42:54,480
\nthe people that are going to be
\nsaved and bow the knee to God <\/p>\n
588
\n00:42:54,480 –> 00:42:58,720
\nand look at God.
\nThey’ve got to do it in front of<\/p>\n
589
\n00:42:58,720 –> 00:43:01,920
\nJesus Christ.
\nThey’ve got to see Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
590
\n00:43:02,160 –> 00:43:05,400
\nas God manifests.
\nThey’ve got to confess <\/p>\n
591
\n00:43:05,400 –> 00:43:07,560
\nthemselves.
\nThey’ve got to confess their <\/p>\n
592
\n00:43:07,560 –> 00:43:10,320
\nposition here.
\nThey’ve got to look at Jesus <\/p>\n
593
\n00:43:10,320 –> 00:43:14,160
\nChrist, his life, his death, his
\nburial, but particularly this <\/p>\n
594
\n00:43:14,160 –> 00:43:18,520
\ngreat moral victory here, his
\nvindication of God’s judgement <\/p>\n
595
\n00:43:18,840 –> 00:43:21,400
\nand his vindication of the power
\nof His Holiness. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:43:21,640 –> 00:43:24,680
\nThey’ve got to look at that and
\nbare the knee and confess their <\/p>\n
597
\n00:43:24,680 –> 00:43:29,200
\nown position.
\nConfessions, the key. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:43:29,880 –> 00:43:34,000
\nAnd in that very confession,
\nrealize that this one here is <\/p>\n
599
\n00:43:34,000 –> 00:43:37,120
\nonly the only one making a
\nperfect confession that <\/p>\n
600
\n00:43:37,120 –> 00:43:41,280
\nvindicates God completely.
\nYou’re doing the best you can. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:43:41,520 –> 00:43:43,280
\nAt least you’re identifying with
\nit. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:43:44,160 –> 00:43:47,920
\nAnd you’re getting the benefit
\nof that brotherly family <\/p>\n
603
\n00:43:47,920 –> 00:43:53,320
\nidentity that God lets you have
\nthrough baptism, spread in other<\/p>\n
604
\n00:43:53,320 –> 00:43:55,960
\nplaces.
\nQuite in Romans chapter 10. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:43:56,440 –> 00:44:00,360
\nYeah, with a heart man believeth
\nthe righteousness of the mouth. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:44:00,360 –> 00:44:02,200
\nConfession is made under
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:44:02,440 –> 00:44:06,440
\nScratted in Romans 14.
\nIt must all appear before the <\/p>\n
608
\n00:44:06,440 –> 00:44:09,240
\njudgement seat of Christ that
\nquotes this very verse. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:44:09,560 –> 00:44:12,480
\nUnder me every knee shall be,
\nand every tongue shall confess. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:44:13,840 –> 00:44:18,440
\nAll right, so right from
\nbaptism, we’re bearing the knee <\/p>\n
611
\n00:44:18,440 –> 00:44:21,040
\nand confessing our position.
\nWe should do it every day. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:44:21,360 –> 00:44:22,960
\nWe do it particularly on
\nSundays. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:44:23,280 –> 00:44:24,720
\nWe should be doing it all our
\nlife. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:44:24,880 –> 00:44:27,560
\nAnd when we get the judgement
\nseat, we’ll be doing it then <\/p>\n
615
\n00:44:27,880 –> 00:44:30,160
\nwe’ll be giving account of
\nourselves to God. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:44:30,360 –> 00:44:34,400
\nWe’ll bow the knee and confess.
\nAnd what will be the final <\/p>\n
617
\n00:44:34,480 –> 00:44:38,560
\noutcome of all that?
\nWhen we’re being we’ve looked in<\/p>\n
618
\n00:44:38,560 –> 00:44:43,800
\nGod, confess and got the benefit
\nof identifying the one who <\/p>\n
619
\n00:44:43,800 –> 00:44:49,080
\nconfessed it perfectly right.
\nWhat will be our position right?<\/p>\n
620
\n00:44:49,520 –> 00:44:52,960
\nWhat will we finally say that
\ntells us here what we’ll finally<\/p>\n
621
\n00:44:52,960 –> 00:44:59,880
\nsay verse 24 Surely shall one
\nsay in the Lord, in Yahweh, in <\/p>\n
622
\n00:44:59,880 –> 00:45:07,160
\nthe Lord, shall I have I
\nrighteousness and strength in <\/p>\n
623
\n00:45:07,160 –> 00:45:09,400
\nthe Lord?
\nIt’s because of my identity. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:45:10,000 –> 00:45:13,080
\nBy course I look at God and the
\nperson of Jesus Christ and <\/p>\n
625
\n00:45:13,080 –> 00:45:16,480
\nidentify with that and I become
\nhis brother and walk in the same<\/p>\n
626
\n00:45:16,480 –> 00:45:20,440
\ndirection and get the benefits
\nof the forgiveness and grace of <\/p>\n
627
\n00:45:20,440 –> 00:45:22,720
\nGod.
\nJust because you had you confess<\/p>\n
628
\n00:45:22,720 –> 00:45:27,720
\nyour position as an identifier
\nwith that perfect confession by <\/p>\n
629
\n00:45:27,760 –> 00:45:32,920
\nJesus Christ and you bow the
\nknee before that one, what will <\/p>\n
630
\n00:45:32,920 –> 00:45:36,200
\nbe the outcome in Yahweh, You
\nknow one of the most common <\/p>\n
631
\n00:45:36,200 –> 00:45:40,200
\nexpressions we say we say we’re
\nin the truth, but in the in the <\/p>\n
632
\n00:45:40,480 –> 00:45:42,920
\n1st century, they didn’t say
\nwe’re in the truth. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:45:42,920 –> 00:45:46,840
\nThey said we’re in the Lord.
\nThey’re referring to this very <\/p>\n
634
\n00:45:46,840 –> 00:45:49,720
\nphrase in the Lord.
\nThey’re in the family, they’re <\/p>\n
635
\n00:45:49,720 –> 00:45:53,560
\nin the Lord’s family.
\nOK, they had a brother of Christ<\/p>\n
636
\n00:45:53,560 –> 00:45:55,720
\nwho Baptist in Galatians chapter
\n3, etcetera. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:45:55,720 –> 00:45:58,640
\nBasic stuff.
\nSon of God, brother of Jesus <\/p>\n
638
\n00:45:58,640 –> 00:46:01,000
\nChrist, they’re in the Lord.
\nThey’re in the Lord’s family <\/p>\n
639
\n00:46:01,240 –> 00:46:04,000
\nbecause in the Lord’s family
\nthey’re getting these benefits. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:46:04,000 –> 00:46:07,360
\nThey’re sharing Christ’s
\nperfection, They’re sharing his <\/p>\n
641
\n00:46:07,360 –> 00:46:09,960
\nfull confession.
\nAll right, they’re doing the <\/p>\n
642
\n00:46:09,960 –> 00:46:15,440
\nbest they can, but they share
\nthe benefit of his fullness in <\/p>\n
643
\n00:46:15,440 –> 00:46:18,760
\nthe Lord have our righteousness
\nand strength, and to him shall <\/p>\n
644
\n00:46:18,760 –> 00:46:21,960
\nmen come and all that are
\nincensed against him. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:46:22,480 –> 00:46:25,520
\nEveryone that disagree with that
\nmethod of God, they’re going to <\/p>\n
646
\n00:46:25,520 –> 00:46:29,800
\nbe ashamed.
\nVerse 25 in the Lord in Yahweh <\/p>\n
647
\n00:46:30,040 –> 00:46:34,480
\nshall all the true seed of
\nIsrael be pronounced righteous <\/p>\n
648
\n00:46:34,640 –> 00:46:40,880
\nand shall glory.
\nNow Romans chapter 3 built on <\/p>\n
649
\n00:46:40,880 –> 00:46:44,960
\nthose verses.
\nOK, and you’ll have to work on <\/p>\n
650
\n00:46:44,960 –> 00:46:48,360
\nthat yourself to really make it
\nchill. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:46:52,720 –> 00:46:57,920
\nOur reading tonight was Matthew
\n3, and we now go to we’re <\/p>\n
652
\n00:46:57,920 –> 00:47:04,200
\npicking up, declaring God’s
\nrighteousness, all right, and <\/p>\n
653
\n00:47:04,200 –> 00:47:08,920
\nwe’re relating it to something
\nvery similar to that which was <\/p>\n
654
\n00:47:08,920 –> 00:47:10,920
\nChrist’s words to John the
\nBaptist. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:47:10,920 –> 00:47:16,040
\nThis is John the Baptist, this
\nis Jordan, this is Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
656
\n00:47:16,040 –> 00:47:18,960
\nhere in yellow.
\nAnd these are all those that <\/p>\n
657
\n00:47:18,960 –> 00:47:24,120
\nfollow Jesus Christ.
\nHe’s the captain, all right. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:47:24,120 –> 00:47:26,920
\nRemember our earlier studies?
\nHe’s the chief leader. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:47:26,920 –> 00:47:31,160
\nThe word captain means chief
\nleader, as in our instant night <\/p>\n
660
\n00:47:31,160 –> 00:47:34,280
\nin Acts.
\nAnd then last night it occurred <\/p>\n
661
\n00:47:34,280 –> 00:47:35,920
\nagain.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:47:36,360 –> 00:47:42,000
\nAnd whom God has made a Prince
\nand a saviour. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:47:42,000 –> 00:47:44,040
\nThe word Prince is chief
\ncaptain. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:47:44,400 –> 00:47:47,560
\nHe’s a captain, a chief leader.
\nIt means he’s a leader. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:47:47,560 –> 00:47:50,320
\nHe’s lady.
\nThe word shepherd means a leader<\/p>\n
666
\n00:47:50,320 –> 00:47:53,320
\nof the sheep.
\nAll right, the idea of <\/p>\n
667
\n00:47:53,440 –> 00:47:57,080
\nleaderships in many interests, a
\nking, a king is the captain of <\/p>\n
668
\n00:47:57,080 –> 00:47:59,560
\nmy people.
\nA king is the chief leader of <\/p>\n
669
\n00:47:59,560 –> 00:48:01,000
\nhis people.
\nHe’s a leader. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:48:01,640 –> 00:48:04,840
\nI mean, he had to be an example.
\nA king supposed to, when he came<\/p>\n
671
\n00:48:04,840 –> 00:48:07,720
\nto rule in Israel, supposed to
\nsit down and personally wrote <\/p>\n
672
\n00:48:07,720 –> 00:48:13,040
\nout the whole Old Testament as
\nit was then, and he had to write<\/p>\n
673
\n00:48:13,040 –> 00:48:17,160
\nit out person in his own hand,
\nand he had to read it every day.<\/p>\n
674
\n00:48:17,520 –> 00:48:21,680
\nIn other words, the king had to
\nbe a leader both in moral things<\/p>\n
675
\n00:48:21,680 –> 00:48:24,880
\nand in battle and administer.
\nHe had to be the chief leader, <\/p>\n
676
\n00:48:25,320 –> 00:48:27,440
\nOK?
\nAnd that’s what Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
677
\n00:48:27,440 –> 00:48:30,480
\nwas, a chief leader.
\nAnd he was a leader when he got <\/p>\n
678
\n00:48:30,480 –> 00:48:33,720
\nbaptized, OK?
\nHe was a leader. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:48:34,000 –> 00:48:39,080
\nHe was beginning a public
\nmanifestation of God’s method, <\/p>\n
680
\n00:48:40,240 –> 00:48:45,280
\nsomething that starts with
\nbaptism, runs the life of <\/p>\n
681
\n00:48:45,280 –> 00:48:50,880
\nrepudiating sin and taking on
\nboard divine values, overcoming <\/p>\n
682
\n00:48:51,160 –> 00:48:56,400
\nweakness by divine, developing
\nthe divine mind, and finally in <\/p>\n
683
\n00:48:56,400 –> 00:49:02,480
\ndeath itself.
\nDying it is. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:49:02,480 –> 00:49:04,960
\nIt’s acceptable with God that
\neven your death can be <\/p>\n
685
\n00:49:04,960 –> 00:49:07,440
\nacceptable.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:49:07,800 –> 00:49:10,960
\nI only hope that when I die,
\nwell, you’ve got to think of it <\/p>\n
687
\n00:49:10,960 –> 00:49:14,280
\nbeforehand because sometimes you
\njust been able to do up your <\/p>\n
688
\n00:49:14,280 –> 00:49:16,760
\nshoelace and that’s it.
\nBut so you’ve got to think of it<\/p>\n
689
\n00:49:16,760 –> 00:49:19,000
\non a daily basis.
\nBut I’m getting pretty close to <\/p>\n
690
\n00:49:19,000 –> 00:49:21,760
\nit, OK.
\nAnd I’ve got a crook ticker and <\/p>\n
691
\n00:49:21,760 –> 00:49:24,800
\neverything and it’s I’m
\nencumbered not only through my <\/p>\n
692
\n00:49:24,800 –> 00:49:28,800
\nlife, but right now you come to
\nthe end and physical death <\/p>\n
693
\n00:49:28,800 –> 00:49:32,080
\nitself to say God is righteous,
\nI should be mortal. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:49:32,360 –> 00:49:35,960
\nThe wage is as sin is death.
\nI can survive this, but a lonely<\/p>\n
695
\n00:49:35,960 –> 00:49:39,600
\nvibe because I’ve taken on board
\nthe word which endures forever. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:49:39,840 –> 00:49:43,920
\nAnd I’m sharing the benefit of
\nChrist’s perfect victory. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:49:44,240 –> 00:49:48,160
\nI’m sharing his victory, OK,
\nwhich is really forgiveness. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:49:48,480 –> 00:49:51,200
\nYou know, it’s just forgiveness
\nput in all different sort of <\/p>\n
699
\n00:49:51,200 –> 00:49:53,240
\nways.
\nIt’s conversion, forgiveness, <\/p>\n
700
\n00:49:53,560 –> 00:49:56,000
\nand, and, and I should die with
\nthat faith. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:49:56,200 –> 00:50:01,000
\nAnd dying with that faith will
\nensure that I’ll be with him in <\/p>\n
702
\n00:50:01,000 –> 00:50:07,680
\nparadise.
\nSo just let’s look at Matthew 3 <\/p>\n
703
\n00:50:07,680 –> 00:50:16,120
\nand Isaiah 40.
\nKeep your hand in Isaiah 40 and <\/p>\n
704
\n00:50:16,120 –> 00:50:18,960
\nturn up Matthew 3.
\nYou’ve got to turn from one to <\/p>\n
705
\n00:50:18,960 –> 00:50:23,520
\nthe other.
\nIt says in our in Matthew <\/p>\n
706
\n00:50:23,520 –> 00:50:26,720
\nchapter 3 in those days, first
\none came John the Baptist <\/p>\n
707
\n00:50:26,720 –> 00:50:30,600
\npreaching in the wilderness of
\nJudea saying repent for the <\/p>\n
708
\n00:50:30,600 –> 00:50:37,840
\nKingdom of heaven is at hand.
\nAnd this is he that was spoken <\/p>\n
709
\n00:50:37,840 –> 00:50:44,560
\nof by the prophet saying quote
\nIsaiah 40 verses 3 to 8, the <\/p>\n
710
\n00:50:44,560 –> 00:50:48,200
\nvoice of one crying in the
\nwilderness. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:50:48,600 –> 00:50:53,840
\nPrepare ye the way of the Lord,
\nmake his paths straight. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:50:57,160 –> 00:51:02,160
\nNow when you go back to notice
\nwhat he’s preached, repent for <\/p>\n
713
\n00:51:02,160 –> 00:51:03,960
\nthe Kingdom of heaven is at
\nhand. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:51:04,320 –> 00:51:07,440
\nBut when you go back to Isaiah
\n40, now put your hand in Matthew<\/p>\n
715
\n00:51:07,440 –> 00:51:11,280
\n3 and go back to Isaiah 40.
\nIt’s told what he should have <\/p>\n
716
\n00:51:11,280 –> 00:51:16,040
\npreached, OK.
\nThe chapters dealing with <\/p>\n
717
\n00:51:16,040 –> 00:51:20,560
\nforgiveness, verse 2, speaking
\ncomfortably to Jerusalem, crying<\/p>\n
718
\n00:51:20,560 –> 00:51:24,560
\nto her that her warfare is
\naccomplished and her iniquity is<\/p>\n
719
\n00:51:24,560 –> 00:51:29,920
\npardoned.
\nHer iniquity is pardoned. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:51:29,920 –> 00:51:34,200
\nSo it’s about the pardon of
\niniquity, OK? <\/p>\n
721
\n00:51:34,200 –> 00:51:37,240
\nAnd, and from Isaiah 40 right
\nthrough the end of Isaiah, <\/p>\n
722
\n00:51:37,240 –> 00:51:39,640
\nthat’s what the subjects all
\nabout, OK. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:51:43,360 –> 00:51:48,560
\nAnd it says verse 3 is the verse
\nthat’s quoted in Matthew 3, the <\/p>\n
724
\n00:51:48,560 –> 00:51:51,600
\nvoice of him that crieth in the
\nwilderness, prepare you the way <\/p>\n
725
\n00:51:51,600 –> 00:51:55,880
\nof Yahweh makes straight in the
\ndesert, a highway for our God, <\/p>\n
726
\n00:51:55,880 –> 00:51:58,760
\nour Elohim.
\nThat’s the one that’s quoted. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:51:59,000 –> 00:52:02,760
\nSo it’s John the Baptist, verse
\n3, it’s talking about John the <\/p>\n
728
\n00:52:02,760 –> 00:52:05,760
\nBaptist.
\nVerse 4 says he’s going to be a <\/p>\n
729
\n00:52:05,760 –> 00:52:09,000
\nbit of a bulldozer.
\nEvery valley should be exalted, <\/p>\n
730
\n00:52:09,000 –> 00:52:10,840
\nand every mountain and hills
\nshould be made low. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:52:10,840 –> 00:52:13,640
\nAnd the crooked place is
\nstraight and the rough ways is <\/p>\n
732
\n00:52:13,640 –> 00:52:16,840
\nplain.
\nIn other words, his job was to <\/p>\n
733
\n00:52:16,840 –> 00:52:20,240
\nbuild a highway.
\nYou push over the tops of <\/p>\n
734
\n00:52:20,240 –> 00:52:23,080
\nmountains, you fill in the
\nvalleys, you make it, you <\/p>\n
735
\n00:52:23,080 –> 00:52:26,080
\nstraighten the road up.
\nHe was building a highway. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:52:27,040 –> 00:52:29,560
\nSo he was doing it with a
\ngospel. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:52:30,080 –> 00:52:32,800
\nHe’s building a highway with a
\ngospel. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:52:32,800 –> 00:52:35,200
\nHe’s building a highway in
\npeople’s minds. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:52:36,280 –> 00:52:39,640
\nWhy?
\nBecause verse 5, the glory of <\/p>\n
740
\n00:52:39,640 –> 00:52:45,600
\nYahweh shall be revealed and all
\nflesh shall see it together. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:52:46,760 –> 00:52:50,640
\nLook under me, behold me.
\nIf you’re going to get <\/p>\n
742
\n00:52:50,840 –> 00:52:53,080
\nforgiveness, if you’re going to
\nget iniquity, you’ve got to be <\/p>\n
743
\n00:52:53,080 –> 00:52:57,040
\nable to see God.
\nGod’s got to be demonstrated in <\/p>\n
744
\n00:52:57,040 –> 00:52:59,720
\nfront of your very eyes.
\nWell John, you’re going to <\/p>\n
745
\n00:52:59,720 –> 00:53:03,600
\nappear a highway because the
\nglory of Yahweh is going to <\/p>\n
746
\n00:53:03,600 –> 00:53:07,600
\nappear.
\nHe said, OK, verse 6, what will <\/p>\n
747
\n00:53:07,600 –> 00:53:12,840
\nI preach?
\nThe voice said cry. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:53:12,840 –> 00:53:14,600
\nAnd he said, well, what do I
\ncry? <\/p>\n
749
\n00:53:15,320 –> 00:53:16,960
\nHe says, this is what you’ll
\ncry. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:53:18,760 –> 00:53:24,360
\nAll flesh is grass, and all the
\ngoodliness thereof as the flower<\/p>\n
751
\n00:53:24,360 –> 00:53:29,120
\nof the field.
\nThe grass withereth, the flower <\/p>\n
752
\n00:53:29,120 –> 00:53:34,600
\nfadeth, because the Spirit of
\nYahweh bloweth upon it. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:53:35,200 –> 00:53:39,680
\nSurely the people, the whole lot
\nof them is grass. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:53:40,880 –> 00:53:45,000
\nAnd he repeated, The grass
\nwithereth, the flower fighteth. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:53:45,480 –> 00:53:49,120
\nBut there is something that’s
\neternal, and it’s not the grass.<\/p>\n
756
\n00:53:49,680 –> 00:53:55,840
\nThe word of our Elohim, our God
\nshall stand forever. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:53:57,560 –> 00:54:01,080
\nAnd that last phrase was quoted
\nmany places in the New Testament<\/p>\n
758
\n00:54:01,320 –> 00:54:06,960
\nand says the Word is the gospel,
\nthe gospel of salvation, the <\/p>\n
759
\n00:54:06,960 –> 00:54:12,200
\ngospel of God, God’s method, OK,
\nit stands forever. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:54:13,160 –> 00:54:17,000
\nAnything that comes from God and
\nit’s divine is eternal. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:54:18,960 –> 00:54:21,200
\nGod.
\nChrist was able to offer himself<\/p>\n
762
\n00:54:21,440 –> 00:54:26,440
\nbecause without spot, because He
\nhad an eternal spirit about him.<\/p>\n
763
\n00:54:27,320 –> 00:54:32,920
\nHe derived this eternal attitude
\nfrom the divine mind being <\/p>\n
764
\n00:54:32,920 –> 00:54:36,600
\ncommunicated in the divine Word.
\nBut what was he by nature? <\/p>\n
765
\n00:54:36,840 –> 00:54:42,600
\nJust grass like every one of us.
\nJust grass like every one of us.<\/p>\n
766
\n00:54:43,320 –> 00:54:45,480
\nBut what got him through to
\neternal life? <\/p>\n
767
\n00:54:45,680 –> 00:54:52,440
\nThe Word that stands forever.
\nHow did John preach that He <\/p>\n
768
\n00:54:52,440 –> 00:54:55,320
\ndidn’t actually use those words,
\neven though they’re used many <\/p>\n
769
\n00:54:55,320 –> 00:54:59,680
\ntimes by the apostles?
\nHe says repent ye for the <\/p>\n
770
\n00:54:59,680 –> 00:55:05,960
\nKingdom of heaven is at hand.
\nRepent ye for the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
771
\n00:55:05,960 –> 00:55:09,720
\nheaven is at hand.
\nThat’s what he preached. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:55:10,040 –> 00:55:14,680
\nAnd he preached a a baptism
\nwhereby they had to confess <\/p>\n
773
\n00:55:14,680 –> 00:55:18,840
\ntheir sins.
\nVerse 6, verse 5 and then went <\/p>\n
774
\n00:55:18,840 –> 00:55:22,080
\nout to him Jerusalem and all
\nJudea and all the region <\/p>\n
775
\n00:55:22,080 –> 00:55:28,600
\nroundabout and were baptized of
\nJordan confessing their sins. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:55:30,520 –> 00:55:35,280
\nNow eventually Jesus Christ
\ncomes along to be baptized. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:55:35,320 –> 00:55:37,880
\nOK, they’re confessing their
\nsins. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:55:37,880 –> 00:55:40,640
\nNow how do you confess your
\nsins? <\/p>\n
779
\n00:55:41,520 –> 00:55:43,600
\nWe’ve got to relate this to
\nIsaiah 40. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:55:43,800 –> 00:55:47,320
\nWell to start with, he should
\nhave been preaching all fleshes <\/p>\n
781
\n00:55:47,320 –> 00:55:50,840
\ngrasp and the word induced
\nrevenue can be sure he did that.<\/p>\n
782
\n00:55:51,400 –> 00:55:55,680
\nIt’s tied up in the expression
\nrepent ye, for the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
783
\n00:55:55,680 –> 00:56:00,880
\nheaven is at hand.
\nIn other words, your grass. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:56:01,600 –> 00:56:04,680
\nTurn around.
\nThe Kingdom of heaven is about <\/p>\n
785
\n00:56:04,680 –> 00:56:07,400
\nto appear.
\nThe glory of God’s about to <\/p>\n
786
\n00:56:07,400 –> 00:56:09,360
\nappear.
\nThe royal majesty the kingdom’s <\/p>\n
787
\n00:56:09,360 –> 00:56:12,160
\nabout to appear.
\nOK, turn around. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:56:12,160 –> 00:56:13,840
\nRepent.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:56:14,160 –> 00:56:17,480
\nRecognize your sin because
\nyou’re about to be able to <\/p>\n
790
\n00:56:17,480 –> 00:56:20,400
\nbehold God.
\nYou’ll be able to be about to <\/p>\n
791
\n00:56:20,400 –> 00:56:25,720
\nbehold and there’s no, there’s
\nno salvation unless you behold <\/p>\n
792
\n00:56:25,720 –> 00:56:36,400
\nGod, OK, unless you recognise
\nGod and and and and and so we <\/p>\n
793
\n00:56:36,400 –> 00:56:42,080
\nfind when you pick up this idea
\nof grass in Isaiah 40, go back <\/p>\n
794
\n00:56:42,080 –> 00:56:45,600
\nto Isaiah 40.
\nPick up the end the word grass <\/p>\n
795
\n00:56:45,600 –> 00:56:50,080
\nat the end of verse 7, say run a
\nline to verse 17. <\/p>\n
796
\n00:56:50,480 –> 00:56:54,920
\nAll nations before him are as
\nnothing, and they accounted to <\/p>\n
797
\n00:56:54,920 –> 00:56:57,680
\nhim less than nothing, Nothing
\nin vanity. <\/p>\n
798
\n00:56:58,160 –> 00:57:02,400
\nThat’s how grassy man is.
\nAll nations, that’s how grassy <\/p>\n
799
\n00:57:02,400 –> 00:57:05,680
\nthey are.
\nVerse eight, run a line from <\/p>\n
800
\n00:57:05,680 –> 00:57:09,560
\ngrass to verse 18.
\nTo whom then will you like an <\/p>\n
801
\n00:57:09,560 –> 00:57:12,240
\nowl?
\nTo what likeness will you <\/p>\n
802
\n00:57:12,240 –> 00:57:15,680
\ncompare him?
\nYou’re going to build an idol. <\/p>\n
803
\n00:57:15,800 –> 00:57:18,320
\nYou’re going to, you’re going to
\nmake your own concept of what <\/p>\n
804
\n00:57:18,320 –> 00:57:20,600
\nGod is.
\nForget it. <\/p>\n
805
\n00:57:22,040 –> 00:57:28,440
\nHe’s about to appear at the end
\nof verse 9 of of Isaiah 40 verse<\/p>\n
806
\n00:57:28,520 –> 00:57:31,920
\nread verse I know Zion that
\nbring us good tidings. <\/p>\n
807
\n00:57:31,920 –> 00:57:36,400
\nThe margin says oh that tell us
\ngood tidings desire they are <\/p>\n
808
\n00:57:36,400 –> 00:57:41,280
\nthat tell us good tidings design
\nand good tidings the gospel they<\/p>\n
809
\n00:57:41,280 –> 00:57:44,440
\nare that tell us the gospel
\nwhat’s the gospel All flesh is <\/p>\n
810
\n00:57:44,440 –> 00:57:47,960
\ngrass.
\nThe Word endures forever, and <\/p>\n
811
\n00:57:47,960 –> 00:57:52,000
\nyou know all truth is bound up
\nin those two truths. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:57:52,400 –> 00:57:55,800
\nThe whole system of truth that
\nyou and I believe are bound up <\/p>\n
813
\n00:57:55,840 –> 00:58:00,040
\nin those two truths.
\nAll flesh is grasp. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:58:00,040 –> 00:58:05,400
\nMan is weak, mortal, sinfully
\ninclined, and will die. <\/p>\n
815
\n00:58:06,680 –> 00:58:11,240
\nPeople don’t believe that, but
\nthe Word of God endures forever,<\/p>\n
816
\n00:58:11,240 –> 00:58:15,440
\nthe only hope of eternity.
\nIt’s to take on board the Word <\/p>\n
817
\n00:58:15,440 –> 00:58:17,560
\nof God.
\nAnd you can be related to <\/p>\n
818
\n00:58:17,560 –> 00:58:20,720
\nresurrection, change and
\nimmortality without taking that <\/p>\n
819
\n00:58:20,720 –> 00:58:21,360
\non.
\nOn board. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:58:21,720 –> 00:58:24,160
\nThere’s not, But people don’t
\nbelieve that. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:58:24,560 –> 00:58:26,400
\nEvery religion in the world
\nbelieves they’re already <\/p>\n
822
\n00:58:26,400 –> 00:58:29,440
\nimmortal.
\nThat’s ever been so. <\/p>\n
823
\n00:58:30,160 –> 00:58:35,160
\nIt’s ever been so.
\nMen refuse to humiliate <\/p>\n
824
\n00:58:35,160 –> 00:58:41,000
\nthemselves to this fundamental
\nfact that man’s just grasp. <\/p>\n
825
\n00:58:41,480 –> 00:58:44,000
\nOh no, he’s got weakness, but
\nhe’s got a lot of goodness too. <\/p>\n
826
\n00:58:44,240 –> 00:58:46,200
\nOh, he’s got a moral spark in
\nhim. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:58:46,480 –> 00:58:48,640
\nYep.
\nAnd they make man more precious <\/p>\n
828
\n00:58:48,640 –> 00:58:52,960
\nthan he really is.
\nLook how God’s view, God’s view,<\/p>\n
829
\n00:58:52,960 –> 00:58:56,440
\nall nations are nothing and to
\nwhom you’re going to compare it <\/p>\n
830
\n00:58:57,720 –> 00:58:59,960
\nto an idol.
\nCan you produce? <\/p>\n
831
\n00:59:00,080 –> 00:59:01,880
\nCan you produce something that’s
\nlike me? <\/p>\n
832
\n00:59:01,960 –> 00:59:07,120
\nNo, you can’t, but I can behold
\nyour God. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:59:07,240 –> 00:59:10,960
\nAt the end of verse 9.
\nI read verse 9 again. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:59:11,920 –> 00:59:15,000
\nThey are that bring us the
\ngospel designed. <\/p>\n
835
\n00:59:15,000 –> 00:59:17,240
\nGet the app into the high
\nmountain. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:59:18,760 –> 00:59:22,800
\nThey are that tell us good
\ntidings to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:59:24,640 –> 00:59:27,480
\nLift up thy voice with strength
\nlifted up. <\/p>\n
838
\n00:59:27,480 –> 00:59:30,520
\nBe not afraid.
\nSay under the cities of Judah. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:59:31,360 –> 00:59:35,240
\nAnd this is what you’ve got to
\nsay under to the cities of <\/p>\n
840
\n00:59:35,240 –> 00:59:38,920
\nJudah.
\nJohn, behold your God. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:59:40,760 –> 00:59:43,880
\nThat’s exactly what John did,
\nhow he changed the words a <\/p>\n
842
\n00:59:43,880 –> 00:59:46,760
\nlittle bit.
\nThe Gospel of John chapter 1. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:59:47,480 –> 00:59:52,680
\nAll right, he was he, he was
\ntold that when Jesus Christ came<\/p>\n
844
\n00:59:52,680 –> 00:59:56,040
\nto be baptized that he’d seen
\nthe Spirit descend upon him and <\/p>\n
845
\n00:59:56,040 –> 01:00:00,400
\nhe would not he would that would
\nreveal to him that that was the <\/p>\n
846
\n01:00:00,400 –> 01:00:03,920
\nSon of God.
\nAnd so when that happened, he <\/p>\n
847
\n01:00:03,920 –> 01:00:07,560
\nimmediately thereafter, whenever
\nJesus appeared and on the scene,<\/p>\n
848
\n01:00:07,560 –> 01:00:14,640
\nwhat did he say?
\nBehold the Lamb of God, Behold <\/p>\n
849
\n01:00:14,640 –> 01:00:17,600
\nyour God.
\nHe said it twice in the Gospel <\/p>\n
850
\n01:00:17,600 –> 01:00:20,560
\nof John chapter 1.
\nBehold the Lamb of God that <\/p>\n
851
\n01:00:20,560 –> 01:00:22,240
\ntaketh away the sin of the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
852
\n01:00:22,280 –> 01:00:26,280
\nHe’s talking about this.
\nBehold your God, the taking away<\/p>\n
853
\n01:00:26,280 –> 01:00:28,920
\nof iniquity, her iniquities
\npardon in it. <\/p>\n
854
\n01:00:29,640 –> 01:00:34,320
\nSo here we have the Gospel of
\nJohn and Isaiah 40, and it’s <\/p>\n
855
\n01:00:34,320 –> 01:00:39,200
\nsimply the gospel, the gospel he
\npreached. <\/p>\n
856
\n01:00:40,000 –> 01:00:45,080
\nChrist lived out perfectly.
\nJohn lived it out as best he <\/p>\n
857
\n01:00:45,080 –> 01:00:46,920
\ncould.
\nWonderful man, the greatest <\/p>\n
858
\n01:00:46,920 –> 01:00:50,080
\nprophet ever lived.
\nHe never lived it out perfectly.<\/p>\n
859
\n01:00:51,080 –> 01:00:54,760
\nBehold, the Lamb of God that
\ntaketh away the sin of the world<\/p>\n
860
\n01:00:54,880 –> 01:00:59,480
\nwould come and would perfectly
\nmanifest the grassiness of man <\/p>\n
861
\n01:01:00,040 –> 01:01:02,560
\nand the everlasting of the word
\nof God. <\/p>\n
862
\n01:01:03,320 –> 01:01:08,840
\nAnd he demonstrated, declared it
\ndemonstrated and hence you have <\/p>\n
863
\n01:01:08,840 –> 01:01:13,920
\nwhen we turn back to Matthew
\nchapter 3 times gone. <\/p>\n
864
\n01:01:13,920 –> 01:01:18,120
\nHence you have when John, when
\nChrist comes to be baptized <\/p>\n
865
\n01:01:18,480 –> 01:01:21,800
\nbecause he gets stuck into the
\nscribes and Pharisees. <\/p>\n
866
\n01:01:22,200 –> 01:01:24,600
\nYou know, you say you’ve got
\nAbraham to your father. <\/p>\n
867
\n01:01:24,840 –> 01:01:28,760
\nYou know, earning righteousness.
\nWe’re superior flesh. <\/p>\n
868
\n01:01:28,760 –> 01:01:31,680
\nThey trusted in the flesh.
\nThey trusted in the fact they <\/p>\n
869
\n01:01:31,680 –> 01:01:35,400
\nare sons of of Abraham.
\nGod’s over these stones to raise<\/p>\n
870
\n01:01:35,400 –> 01:01:37,080
\nup.
\nYou’re only subject to <\/p>\n
871
\n01:01:37,080 –> 01:01:40,920
\njudgement.
\nGod’s about to appear, right? <\/p>\n
872
\n01:01:40,920 –> 01:01:43,840
\nThe royal majesty, the Kingdom,
\nthe royal majesty, the kingdom’s<\/p>\n
873
\n01:01:43,840 –> 01:01:46,920
\nabout to appear and he’s what
\nhe’s going to do, you blokes. <\/p>\n
874
\n01:01:47,160 –> 01:01:49,720
\nHe’s going to use an axe and cut
\nyou down because you’re not <\/p>\n
875
\n01:01:49,720 –> 01:01:56,160
\nproducing any fruit and, and and
\nhe’s going to baptize with the <\/p>\n
876
\n01:01:56,160 –> 01:01:58,960
\nHoly Spirit.
\nVerse 11 And he’s going to <\/p>\n
877
\n01:01:58,960 –> 01:02:02,080
\nseparate the wheat from the the
\nchaff and you blocks of the <\/p>\n
878
\n01:02:02,080 –> 01:02:07,720
\nchaff, you’re dried up grass,
\nright? <\/p>\n
879
\n01:02:07,960 –> 01:02:11,160
\nYeah, that’s all.
\nYou are now only good to be <\/p>\n
880
\n01:02:11,160 –> 01:02:16,440
\nburnt and you’ll be burnt.
\nVerse 13 Then cometh Jesus from <\/p>\n
881
\n01:02:16,440 –> 01:02:19,400
\nGalilee to Jordan unto John to
\nbe baptized with him. <\/p>\n
882
\n01:02:19,800 –> 01:02:23,920
\nBut John forbade him, saying,
\nI’ve need to be baptized today <\/p>\n
883
\n01:02:23,920 –> 01:02:26,440
\nand cometh out of me.
\nAnd Jesus answered and said unto<\/p>\n
884
\n01:02:26,440 –> 01:02:34,240
\nhim, look, and you’ve got to
\nappreciate when people came to <\/p>\n
885
\n01:02:34,240 –> 01:02:37,840
\nbe baptized by John, they’d go
\nout there confessing their sin. <\/p>\n
886
\n01:02:38,160 –> 01:02:41,880
\nIf you’re 50 years old and
\nyou’re confessing your sins, <\/p>\n
887
\n01:02:42,240 –> 01:02:44,600
\nyou’d be standing in the water
\nfor about two days. <\/p>\n
888
\n01:02:44,600 –> 01:02:46,000
\nYou wouldn’t remember them
\nanyway. <\/p>\n
889
\n01:02:46,160 –> 01:02:48,080
\nAnd half of them, these things
\nyou wouldn’t even know. <\/p>\n
890
\n01:02:49,000 –> 01:02:50,840
\nSo.
\nSo you didn’t actually confess <\/p>\n
891
\n01:02:51,200 –> 01:02:54,040
\neach sin you’d ever done.
\nMaybe some major besetting sin, <\/p>\n
892
\n01:02:54,040 –> 01:02:57,120
\nbut what would you do?
\nWhat would you say? <\/p>\n
893
\n01:02:58,720 –> 01:03:04,200
\nAll flesh is grass, and the
\ngoodliness thereof is the flower<\/p>\n
894
\n01:03:04,200 –> 01:03:07,120
\nof the field.
\nI’m rightly mortal. <\/p>\n
895
\n01:03:07,800 –> 01:03:11,640
\nI’m a Sinner.
\nI’m rightly related to death by <\/p>\n
896
\n01:03:11,640 –> 01:03:15,280
\nthis death.
\nI know the answer lies in <\/p>\n
897
\n01:03:15,280 –> 01:03:18,920
\nturning to God’s Word, and I
\nknow I’ve got to change the <\/p>\n
898
\n01:03:18,920 –> 01:03:23,120
\ndirection of life.
\nThat was confessing his sins for<\/p>\n
899
\n01:03:23,120 –> 01:03:28,560
\nthe remission of sin.
\nThat’s what it was Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
900
\n01:03:29,160 –> 01:03:33,240
\nAnd he walks down and and the
\nbrother Carl suggests that he <\/p>\n
901
\n01:03:33,240 –> 01:03:37,720
\nwould say, well, I’ve lived in
\nall good conscience before God <\/p>\n
902
\n01:03:37,720 –> 01:03:42,720
\nor something like this.
\nAnd to this day, however, I want<\/p>\n
903
\n01:03:42,720 –> 01:03:45,680
\nyou to baptize with John
\nprobably knew him. <\/p>\n
904
\n01:03:45,680 –> 01:03:50,360
\nHe’s his cousin anyway.
\nAnd he said, look, no, I would, <\/p>\n
905
\n01:03:51,680 –> 01:03:55,880
\nI should be baptized by you.
\nI shouldn’t be baptized you. <\/p>\n
906
\n01:03:56,680 –> 01:04:00,000
\nHe says no, John, think about
\nit, John, think about it. <\/p>\n
907
\n01:04:00,440 –> 01:04:06,120
\nSuffer it to be so now.
\nWell, thus it become a us, you <\/p>\n
908
\n01:04:07,120 –> 01:04:11,160
\nand everyone that’s following
\nme, all the believers that we’re<\/p>\n
909
\n01:04:11,160 –> 01:04:16,920
\ngoing to say.
\nThus it become a us to fulfill <\/p>\n
910
\n01:04:18,080 –> 01:04:21,000
\nmeans to fill up all
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
911
\n01:04:21,080 –> 01:04:23,200
\nWe’ve got to do everything.
\nThat’s right. <\/p>\n
912
\n01:04:23,680 –> 01:04:28,320
\nI’m commencing a public ministry
\nand you know, I am all right. <\/p>\n
913
\n01:04:28,360 –> 01:04:29,840
\nYou know, that’s what it’s
\nabout. <\/p>\n
914
\n01:04:29,840 –> 01:04:33,400
\nHe already was suspecting.
\nHe, I suspected he was the <\/p>\n
915
\n01:04:33,400 –> 01:04:36,000
\nMessiah.
\nAnd he’s got to fulfil. <\/p>\n
916
\n01:04:36,040 –> 01:04:39,240
\nHe’s got to walk the way that
\nothers have got to follow. <\/p>\n
917
\n01:04:39,560 –> 01:04:41,840
\nHe has to be the perfect
\nexample. <\/p>\n
918
\n01:04:42,440 –> 01:04:46,200
\nHe’s the only one that could
\nmake a full confession at <\/p>\n
919
\n01:04:46,200 –> 01:04:51,400
\nbaptism.
\nHe’s the only one that could <\/p>\n
920
\n01:04:51,400 –> 01:04:55,240
\nconfess the sin of the human
\nrights will confess. <\/p>\n
921
\n01:04:55,240 –> 01:04:58,040
\nAll of those are going to be
\neventually saved. <\/p>\n
922
\n01:04:58,560 –> 01:05:00,600
\nBecause all those are eventually
\ngoing to be saved. <\/p>\n
923
\n01:05:01,920 –> 01:05:04,600
\nTheir baptism won’t be able to
\nrecognize every sin. <\/p>\n
924
\n01:05:04,600 –> 01:05:07,080
\nThey haven’t learned them all
\nyet, but they do it in <\/p>\n
925
\n01:05:07,080 –> 01:05:09,440
\nprinciple.
\nSo He comes along. <\/p>\n
926
\n01:05:09,720 –> 01:05:15,120
\nThus it becometh us to fulfil
\nall righteousness, right? <\/p>\n
927
\n01:05:15,400 –> 01:05:20,800
\nGod’s got a righteous method,
\nand the method commences when <\/p>\n
928
\n01:05:20,800 –> 01:05:23,680
\nyou bow the knee and acknowledge
\nyour position. <\/p>\n
929
\n01:05:24,680 –> 01:05:30,880
\nThen you from there on live out
\nthat baptized life every day, <\/p>\n
930
\n01:05:31,680 –> 01:05:35,480
\nand you die in that baptized
\nway. <\/p>\n
931
\n01:05:36,600 –> 01:05:40,560
\nAnd I can prove from the Bible
\nin many places that every day is<\/p>\n
932
\n01:05:40,560 –> 01:05:44,320
\na day of baptism.
\nPaul talks in Second Corinthians<\/p>\n
933
\n01:05:44,320 –> 01:05:50,000
\nchapter 4 about dying and living
\nright all the time, right? <\/p>\n
934
\n01:05:50,000 –> 01:05:55,000
\nAnd he talks about in in first
\nCorinthians 15 about being <\/p>\n
935
\n01:05:55,000 –> 01:05:57,320
\nbaptized for the dead.
\nAnd he goes on to explain what <\/p>\n
936
\n01:05:57,320 –> 01:05:59,920
\nit means.
\nI mean, suffering adversity of <\/p>\n
937
\n01:06:00,200 –> 01:06:03,600
\nthe beasts of Ephesus for the
\nsake of preaching the truth. <\/p>\n
938
\n01:06:04,120 –> 01:06:07,280
\nHe constantly was living the
\nbaptized life. <\/p>\n
939
\n01:06:07,680 –> 01:06:11,240
\nEvery day is a day of baptism.
\nEvery day is a commitment. <\/p>\n
940
\n01:06:11,240 –> 01:06:13,680
\nEvery time you wake up, it’s a
\ncommitment. <\/p>\n
941
\n01:06:13,680 –> 01:06:19,240
\nI am flesh, I’m grass naturally
\nand every day it’s a daily <\/p>\n
942
\n01:06:19,240 –> 01:06:21,280
\nthing.
\nMake up your cross. <\/p>\n
943
\n01:06:21,280 –> 01:06:30,920
\nWhat daily and follow me.
\nOK, so it was necessary to <\/p>\n
944
\n01:06:32,160 –> 01:06:38,040
\ncomplete a example of the
\nrighteous way that he submit to <\/p>\n
945
\n01:06:38,040 –> 01:06:41,320
\nbaptism.
\nHe just a confession of the <\/p>\n
946
\n01:06:41,320 –> 01:06:43,960
\nfacts.
\nLater on he died and <\/p>\n
947
\n01:06:43,960 –> 01:06:49,400
\ndemonstrated the facts.
\nAll right, So what he did here <\/p>\n
948
\n01:06:49,640 –> 01:06:55,400
\nby word and by a ritual He did
\nin fact, later as He was <\/p>\n
949
\n01:06:55,400 –> 01:07:02,240
\ncrucified on the tree, you’re
\ngoing to have a late night. <\/p>\n
950
\n01:07:06,840 –> 01:07:12,680
\nSo sacrifice is virtue of
\nconfession. <\/p>\n
951
\n01:07:13,080 –> 01:07:17,160
\nChrist is demonstrating and in
\nthe demonstration He’s <\/p>\n
952
\n01:07:17,160 –> 01:07:20,760
\nconfessing the facts.
\nAll flesh is grasp the word in <\/p>\n
953
\n01:07:20,760 –> 01:07:23,000
\nJews forever.
\nHe’s doing it perfectly. <\/p>\n
954
\n01:07:23,480 –> 01:07:26,880
\nYou’ve got to take up your cross
\ndaily. <\/p>\n
955
\n01:07:27,480 –> 01:07:30,760
\nAll right, that says so in Luke
\n923. <\/p>\n
956
\n01:07:31,080 –> 01:07:34,320
\nYou’ve got to take it up daily.
\nDeny yourself, take up your <\/p>\n
957
\n01:07:34,320 –> 01:07:37,960
\ncross and follow me.
\nOK, so we’re going to follow the<\/p>\n
958
\n01:07:37,960 –> 01:07:41,040
\nsame direction, but recognize
\ntheir limitations. <\/p>\n
959
\n01:07:41,320 –> 01:07:43,280
\nHe’s the only one that’s doing
\nit perfect. <\/p>\n
960
\n01:07:43,680 –> 01:07:46,760
\nAnd while ever you identify with
\nhim, you get the benefit of that<\/p>\n
961
\n01:07:46,760 –> 01:07:48,880
\nperfection.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
962
\n01:07:50,320 –> 01:07:55,520
\nAnd we’ve looked at Isaiah 45.
\nSo when he walked away and it <\/p>\n
963
\n01:07:55,520 –> 01:07:59,640
\nwas confronted with temptation
\nand death, his actual death and <\/p>\n
964
\n01:07:59,640 –> 01:08:04,080
\nvictory over sin built a bridge.
\nA bridge which he went over <\/p>\n
965
\n01:08:04,080 –> 01:08:06,960
\nfirst and which we will follow
\nat resurrection. <\/p>\n
966
\n01:08:06,960 –> 01:08:09,880
\nWe’ll go over this bridge to
\njudgement, survive judgement, <\/p>\n
967
\n01:08:10,240 –> 01:08:14,560
\nenter into immortality.
\nThe talks about Christ being <\/p>\n
968
\n01:08:14,840 –> 01:08:18,240
\ngiving a good confession before
\nPontius in the days of Pontius <\/p>\n
969
\n01:08:18,240 –> 01:08:21,479
\nPilate.
\nYou know your king then? <\/p>\n
970
\n01:08:21,640 –> 01:08:23,920
\nYeah.
\nFor this thing was I born that I<\/p>\n
971
\n01:08:23,920 –> 01:08:28,560
\nmight be a witness to the truth.
\nAnd that’s what I’ve been doing.<\/p>\n
972
\n01:08:28,560 –> 01:08:31,359
\nThat’s what I’m doing now.
\nThat’s what I’m about to do. <\/p>\n
973
\n01:08:31,359 –> 01:08:33,720
\nAnd Pilot scratched his head and
\nsaid, what is truth? <\/p>\n
974
\n01:08:33,720 –> 01:08:35,479
\nHe didn’t know what he was
\ntalking about. <\/p>\n
975
\n01:08:36,080 –> 01:08:39,000
\nAnd here he was testifying the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
976
\n01:08:39,000 –> 01:08:42,120
\nWhat is truth?
\nAll flesh is grass. <\/p>\n
977
\n01:08:42,680 –> 01:08:47,479
\nThe Word endures forever.
\nOK, simple gospels that we <\/p>\n
978
\n01:08:47,479 –> 01:08:59,140
\npreach continually.
\nWhat’s that that sets times up? <\/p>\n
979
\n01:08:59,979 –> 01:09:03,819
\nSo from the first Adam we
\nreceive a natural body. <\/p>\n
980
\n01:09:04,580 –> 01:09:09,399
\nGod operated through Mary and he
\nproduced a second atom which <\/p>\n
981
\n01:09:09,560 –> 01:09:13,640
\ncoming from this state became a
\nlife giving spirit. <\/p>\n
982
\n01:09:14,399 –> 01:09:17,000
\nHe became this one gives us a
\nnatural body. <\/p>\n
983
\n01:09:17,439 –> 01:09:20,800
\nJesus Christ obtained
\nimmortality and he was given the<\/p>\n
984
\n01:09:20,800 –> 01:09:24,680
\npower to share it, to actually
\nimmortalize other people. <\/p>\n
985
\n01:09:25,120 –> 01:09:29,200
\nOK, and and so we have these two
\natoms. <\/p>\n
986
\n01:09:29,200 –> 01:09:30,800
\nWe haven’t got time to go into
\nthat. <\/p>\n
987
\n01:09:31,800 –> 01:09:35,319
\nAnd in Romans chapter 6 it talks
\nabout moral turning. <\/p>\n
988
\n01:09:35,720 –> 01:09:39,560
\nHere we were living the selfish
\nlife, all fleetish grass, and we<\/p>\n
989
\n01:09:39,560 –> 01:09:43,560
\nwere loving it, right?
\nBut we change our direction. <\/p>\n
990
\n01:09:43,560 –> 01:09:46,160
\nThat’s what repentance and
\nconversion means. <\/p>\n
991
\n01:09:46,160 –> 01:09:50,560
\nChange the direction of life and
\nyou submit the baptism. <\/p>\n
992
\n01:09:50,560 –> 01:09:53,640
\nWhen you go under, you identify
\nwith Christ crucified. <\/p>\n
993
\n01:09:54,000 –> 01:09:56,680
\nWhen you come out of the water,
\nyou identify with the <\/p>\n
994
\n01:09:56,680 –> 01:09:59,560
\nresurrection of Christ.
\nThat shows another significance <\/p>\n
995
\n01:09:59,560 –> 01:10:02,840
\nof Christ on the tree and his
\nresurrection. <\/p>\n
996
\n01:10:03,480 –> 01:10:08,000
\nIt shows it represents this
\nphysical thing, actually <\/p>\n
997
\n01:10:08,000 –> 01:10:11,360
\nrepresents the moral change
\nthat’s got to govern the person.<\/p>\n
998
\n01:10:12,200 –> 01:10:15,720
\nThere’s many things represented
\nin the death of Christ, and <\/p>\n
999
\n01:10:15,720 –> 01:10:20,080
\ninstead of relying on motivating
\nforces like the Jews who relied <\/p>\n
1000
\n01:10:20,080 –> 01:10:25,120
\non the pride of life to earn
\nsalvation, we rely on these very<\/p>\n
1001
\n01:10:25,120 –> 01:10:27,600
\nthings which say dependence upon
\nGod. <\/p>\n
1002
\n01:10:27,960 –> 01:10:32,400
\nFaith is trusting God, believing
\nthe truth of God, believing what<\/p>\n
1003
\n01:10:32,400 –> 01:10:34,840
\nGod said.
\nAdam and Eve didn’t believe what<\/p>\n
1004
\n01:10:34,840 –> 01:10:38,120
\nGod said.
\nGod has said to us, we grasp, <\/p>\n
1005
\n01:10:38,120 –> 01:10:41,600
\nbut the word endures forever.
\nThis book, believe it make that <\/p>\n
1006
\n01:10:41,600 –> 01:10:45,160
\na motivating force.
\nIt provides hope, it provides <\/p>\n
1007
\n01:10:45,160 –> 01:10:46,960
\nlove.
\nWhen you consider this method, <\/p>\n
1008
\n01:10:47,280 –> 01:10:50,200
\nit stimulates a sense of
\ngratitude that they’re <\/p>\n
1009
\n01:10:50,200 –> 01:10:54,840
\ncompletely different motivating
\nforces than self determination. <\/p>\n
1010
\n01:10:54,840 –> 01:10:58,720
\nAnd I’m great and I can do this
\nand I’m a seed of Abraham and so<\/p>\n
1011
\n01:10:58,720 –> 01:10:59,280
\non.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
1012
\n01:11:00,000 –> 01:11:04,120
\nThey’re motivations that are
\nbegotten by the gospel of truth.<\/p>\n
1013
\n01:11:04,920 –> 01:11:10,680
\nIt brings us to the last thing
\nwhich races us forward to. <\/p>\n
1014
\n01:11:10,680 –> 01:11:13,800
\nRomans 7 and 8 sort of
\nsummarizes everything. <\/p>\n
1015
\n01:11:15,120 –> 01:11:19,240
\nOK, now the boys at the school
\nof prophets reckon for them it <\/p>\n
1016
\n01:11:19,240 –> 01:11:20,960
\nsaid everything.
\nI didn’t think it was that big <\/p>\n
1017
\n01:11:20,960 –> 01:11:22,880
\ntime for them.
\nIt said everything. <\/p>\n
1018
\n01:11:23,680 –> 01:11:27,880
\nRomans 7 talks about the law of
\nsin, talks about this duality. <\/p>\n
1019
\n01:11:28,440 –> 01:11:31,040
\nIt’s all figures of speech and
\npersonification. <\/p>\n
1020
\n01:11:31,560 –> 01:11:36,040
\nHe divides himself up into two.
\nHe talks about the law of sin <\/p>\n
1021
\n01:11:36,040 –> 01:11:39,400
\nand his members.
\nIt’s called the emotions of <\/p>\n
1022
\n01:11:39,400 –> 01:11:41,680
\nsins.
\nIt’s called sin. <\/p>\n
1023
\n01:11:42,120 –> 01:11:45,880
\nIt’s called a law of sin.
\nIt’s called sin in the flesh. <\/p>\n
1024
\n01:11:46,320 –> 01:11:53,000
\nThat’s But then he sees that as
\nthe natural functions. <\/p>\n
1025
\n01:11:53,000 –> 01:11:55,480
\nThey’re simply the lust, the
\nflesh, the eye and the pride of <\/p>\n
1026
\n01:11:55,480 –> 01:11:58,400
\nlife who don’t like the
\nrestriction of law. <\/p>\n
1027
\n01:11:58,640 –> 01:12:02,160
\nWe need them to live, but that
\ndoesn’t like the restriction of <\/p>\n
1028
\n01:12:02,160 –> 01:12:05,560
\nlaw.
\nIt’s selfish and it wants self <\/p>\n
1029
\n01:12:05,560 –> 01:12:09,400
\nindulgence and he found his body
\nalways geared for that. <\/p>\n
1030
\n01:12:10,280 –> 01:12:13,760
\nYou know, you might have you
\nmight have a job to doing the <\/p>\n
1031
\n01:12:13,760 –> 01:12:17,440
\ntruth, but you’re that jolly
\nhungry and it’s not a good sign.<\/p>\n
1032
\n01:12:17,440 –> 01:12:18,800
\nI’ve got a job to doing the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
1033
\n01:12:19,000 –> 01:12:22,480
\nDoesn’t stop you being hungry.
\nYou might ignore it, but the <\/p>\n
1034
\n01:12:22,480 –> 01:12:25,240
\nflesh keeps saying have
\nsomething to eat mate. <\/p>\n
1035
\n01:12:25,360 –> 01:12:28,040
\nYou know, especially 40 days in
\nthe wilderness and you’re <\/p>\n
1036
\n01:12:28,040 –> 01:12:30,160
\nhungry, you know, have some of
\nthe flesh. <\/p>\n
1037
\n01:12:31,120 –> 01:12:33,440
\nYou know, it was not a good
\nsaying. <\/p>\n
1038
\n01:12:33,680 –> 01:12:36,320
\nMan does not live by bread
\nalone, but by every word that <\/p>\n
1039
\n01:12:36,320 –> 01:12:38,960
\ncould proceeded out of the mouth
\nof the Lord. <\/p>\n
1040
\n01:12:38,960 –> 01:12:41,800
\nShall man live?
\nI mean, it did was the whole <\/p>\n
1041
\n01:12:41,800 –> 01:12:43,720
\nanswer, but didn’t stop him
\nbeing hungry. <\/p>\n
1042
\n01:12:43,920 –> 01:12:48,360
\nOK, it persists though.
\nHe found this persistent law in <\/p>\n
1043
\n01:12:48,360 –> 01:12:50,400
\nhis nature, trying to be
\nselfish. <\/p>\n
1044
\n01:12:50,720 –> 01:12:53,920
\nOn that hand, he’d learned God’s
\nways 1st through the law of <\/p>\n
1045
\n01:12:53,920 –> 01:12:55,280
\nMoses.
\nAnd even there there was a <\/p>\n
1046
\n01:12:55,280 –> 01:12:57,400
\nconflict in which he found he
\nfelt. <\/p>\n
1047
\n01:12:57,600 –> 01:13:00,680
\nBut when he got the full
\nknowledge of the Gospel, when he<\/p>\n
1048
\n01:13:00,680 –> 01:13:05,400
\nwas the lights in God’s law, he
\nsaid, but he found this law that<\/p>\n
1049
\n01:13:05,400 –> 01:13:11,160
\nthey were constantly at war.
\nBut the mind, the grass is <\/p>\n
1050
\n01:13:11,160 –> 01:13:14,920
\nfighting the word of the law as
\na constant battle. <\/p>\n
1051
\n01:13:16,560 –> 01:13:19,560
\nIt’s war.
\nWars made-up of battles. <\/p>\n
1052
\n01:13:20,480 –> 01:13:22,800
\nNow some battles go for hundreds
\nof years. <\/p>\n
1053
\n01:13:22,800 –> 01:13:25,640
\nWars, sorry, wars, go for
\nhundreds of years. <\/p>\n
1054
\n01:13:26,040 –> 01:13:29,920
\nIt’s said, a set of the Romans
\nin the decline and fall of the <\/p>\n
1055
\n01:13:29,920 –> 01:13:37,600
\nRoman Empire, often vanquished
\nin battle but always victorious <\/p>\n
1056
\n01:13:37,680 –> 01:13:40,560
\nin war.
\nWhich means they lost a few <\/p>\n
1057
\n01:13:40,560 –> 01:13:44,280
\nbattles, but they went back and
\nhad a go and they eventually won<\/p>\n
1058
\n01:13:44,280 –> 01:13:45,480
\nthe war.
\nOK. <\/p>\n
1059
\n01:13:46,000 –> 01:13:47,720
\nAnd that’s what our life’s all
\nabout. <\/p>\n
1060
\n01:13:48,120 –> 01:13:49,440
\nIt’s a moral battle.
\nWho? <\/p>\n
1061
\n01:13:49,440 –> 01:13:53,400
\nWith ourself and our world, it’s
\na moral battle. <\/p>\n
1062
\n01:13:53,680 –> 01:13:56,360
\nIt’s a daily thing.
\nWe’re going to use a daily <\/p>\n
1063
\n01:13:56,360 –> 01:13:59,680
\nmethod.
\nWe’re going to use the intake of<\/p>\n
1064
\n01:13:59,680 –> 01:14:04,200
\nthe divine mind, the light in
\nGod’s law, learn the delight in <\/p>\n
1065
\n01:14:04,200 –> 01:14:06,280
\nit.
\nAnd while ever we do that and <\/p>\n
1066
\n01:14:06,280 –> 01:14:12,400
\nidentify with the work of the
\nperfect example, there is a <\/p>\n
1067
\n01:14:12,400 –> 01:14:19,600
\nbasis for God to forgive and
\nthat forgiveness and that <\/p>\n
1068
\n01:14:19,600 –> 01:14:26,440
\ndirection of life.
\nHe’s victorious over that simple<\/p>\n
1069
\n01:14:27,560 –> 01:14:31,880
\nit works, but it’s got to be
\ndone on a daily basis. <\/p>\n
1070
\n01:14:32,800 –> 01:14:39,200
\nIt means resist the influence of
\nselfishness that the world <\/p>\n
1071
\n01:14:39,200 –> 01:14:45,280
\nimposes upon you daily resistant
\ndaily take on board the word of <\/p>\n
1072
\n01:14:45,280 –> 01:14:51,080
\nGod daily pray daily trust not
\nevery second I daily continually<\/p>\n
1073
\n01:14:51,480 –> 01:14:56,520
\nwar those fight those battles.
\nSome you’ll lose, but that’s <\/p>\n
1074
\n01:14:56,520 –> 01:14:59,520
\nforgiveness.
\nAnd because there’s forgiveness,<\/p>\n
1075
\n01:14:59,840 –> 01:15:03,840
\nthere’s victory.
\nThere’s victory in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n
1076
\n01:15:04,280 –> 01:15:07,120
\nLet me finish with one verse.
\nI won’t explain it. <\/p>\n
1077
\n01:15:07,320 –> 01:15:09,400
\nI’ll just read it.
\nLet’s you know it backwards. <\/p>\n
1078
\n01:15:09,400 –> 01:15:13,200
\nFirst Corinthians 15.
\nSee our last verse. <\/p>\n
1079
\n01:15:14,920 –> 01:15:23,480
\nI know it’s the final victory of
\nthe Word which endure forever <\/p>\n
1080
\n01:15:24,440 –> 01:15:30,440
\nover grass.
\nVerse 50. <\/p>\n
1081
\n01:15:31,240 –> 01:15:36,200
\nNow this I say, brethren, the
\nflesh and blood grass cannot <\/p>\n
1082
\n01:15:36,200 –> 01:15:40,280
\ninherit the Kingdom of God,
\nNeither does corruption inherit <\/p>\n
1083
\n01:15:40,280 –> 01:15:44,120
\nincorruption.
\nBehold, I show you a mystery. <\/p>\n
1084
\n01:15:44,760 –> 01:15:48,360
\nWe shall not all sleep, but we
\nshall all be changed. <\/p>\n
1085
\n01:15:49,760 –> 01:15:53,600
\nWe’ve been talking about moral
\nvictory, and the moral is the <\/p>\n
1086
\n01:15:53,600 –> 01:15:58,920
\nhard bit, and it will ensure
\nthis physical victory in a <\/p>\n
1087
\n01:15:58,920 –> 01:16:02,320
\nmoment in the twin thing of an
\neye at the US Trump. <\/p>\n
1088
\n01:16:03,160 –> 01:16:05,800
\nBut the trumpets will sound, and
\nthe dead should be raised <\/p>\n
1089
\n01:16:05,800 –> 01:16:08,400
\nincorruptible.
\nAnd we should be changed, for <\/p>\n
1090
\n01:16:08,400 –> 01:16:11,880
\nthis corruptible must put on
\nincorruption, and this mortal <\/p>\n
1091
\n01:16:11,880 –> 01:16:14,400
\nshould be brought put on
\nimmortality. <\/p>\n
1092
\n01:16:15,200 –> 01:16:18,920
\nNow note this.
\nSo when and if you’ve got a <\/p>\n
1093
\n01:16:18,920 –> 01:16:25,960
\npencil circle when so when this
\ncorruptible shall have put on in<\/p>\n
1094
\n01:16:25,960 –> 01:16:30,760
\ncorruption and when this mortal
\nshall have put on immortality <\/p>\n
1095
\n01:16:31,440 –> 01:16:37,520
\nthen and circle then then shall
\nbe brought to pass the sign that<\/p>\n
1096
\n01:16:37,520 –> 01:16:46,000
\nis written death grassiness,
\ndeath is swallowed up in victory<\/p>\n
1097
\n01:16:47,320 –> 01:16:49,840
\nat death.
\nWhere is thy sting thou grave? <\/p>\n
1098
\n01:16:49,840 –> 01:16:54,320
\nWhere is thy victory?
\nThe sting of death is sin, but <\/p>\n
1099
\n01:16:54,320 –> 01:16:58,880
\nthe and the strength of sin is
\nlaw earning. <\/p>\n
1100
\n01:16:58,880 –> 01:17:04,120
\nYou know, you try earning, but
\nthanks be to God, which it’s not<\/p>\n
1101
\n01:17:04,120 –> 01:17:07,960
\nearning.
\nHe gives us the victory because <\/p>\n
1102
\n01:17:07,960 –> 01:17:11,560
\nChrist gained the victory lets
\nus share it giveth us the <\/p>\n
1103
\n01:17:11,560 –> 01:17:14,080
\nvictory through our Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
1104
\n01:17:14,080 –> 01:17:18,160
\nThat’s what that’s all about.
\nFinal words. <\/p>\n
1105
\n01:17:18,840 –> 01:17:29,040
\nTherefore, my beloved brethren,
\nbe steadfast, unmovable, always <\/p>\n

\nabounding in the work of the
\nLord, for as much as you know <\/p>\n
1107

\nthat your labour is not in vain
\nin the Lord. <\/p>\n
